Chapter 458: Build Your Own Pier
"Forget it, I'm not interested." Hu Xiaoxiao has already planned to shoot a TV series in the mainland. After finishing the work at hand, he will start recruiting a team to shoot the TV series.
Shengshi Entertainment has always been involved in film production and has no experience in TV dramas. She plans to recruit talent from the two TV stations and then recruit some talent from mainland China to form a team. This team will then combine the strengths of Hong Kong and mainland China to produce a TV drama that will be even more appealing to the audience.
Unlike Hong Kong, where there are only two TV stations, mainland China boasts numerous TV stations. The TV drama market is even larger than the film market, reaching a wider audience. Hu Xiaoxiao is very optimistic about this prospect.
Since the company wants to deeply cultivate the mainland market, it will sign a large number of mainland artists in the future. Hu Xiaoxiao needs to understand the information in this regard and re-learn the mainland rules.
The more you do, the more you learn. Although he is very busy, Hu Xiaoxiao enjoys his work.
"I think they're quite sincere." Dong Peiyu handed the fax to Hu Xiaoxiao and took out a printed email with a lot of content. She had read the contents and saw the sincerity in them. She invited them three more times before finally bringing it to Hu Xiaoxiao.
Hu Xiaoxiao took the fax. The invitation letter was very formal, signed by Philip, the director of Hamlet Company. The email also contained a lot of information. In addition to the script, there were also several pages of cooperation details, almost the entire contract.
Hu Xiaoxiao was surprised. "Not only are they not angry, but they're even more sincere?"
Dong Peiyu smiled and said, "You may not be able to plant flowers intentionally, but you may be able to plant willows by accident and they will grow into a forest. Your previous rejection of Hamlet's invitation has already made many celebrities jealous. If they knew that Hamlet's invitation was not only not angry, but also sincere, they would be very jealous."
"That's going to be a difficult situation for me," Hu Xiaoxiao said, "but I have a lot of things on my hands, I'm afraid I won't have the time."
"Everything else can be put on hold. Yuliang and I will be overseeing the company's affairs, so there won't be any problems. Since they're so sincere, I think you can consider it." Dong Peiyu was sincerely concerned about Hu Xiaoxiao. With such good resources and the other party's sincerity, it was definitely worth a try. The filming period for this movie wasn't long, so if they squeezed in, they could definitely squeeze it into their schedule.
Dong Peiyu particularly hopes that Hu Xiaoxiao can take this opportunity to break out of Asia and become famous all over the world.
Hu Xiaoxiao looked up at Dong Peiyu. Dong Peiyu had high expectations for Hollywood and really wanted her to take on this role.
She had refused twice before. Although Dong Peiyu respected her idea, she was afraid that she did not quite agree with it in her heart.
It wasn't just Dong Peiyu; many others didn't understand her. Why would she turn down such a good offer? With such a good opportunity right in her hands, why would she give it up?
It's no wonder they don't understand her. After all, Hollywood's influence around the world is unparalleled, and it's the pinnacle of achievement for all filmmakers. Whether they're directors or actors, winning Hollywood awards is their ultimate goal.
In the eyes of Hong Kong people, or in the eyes of people all over the world, those who reject Hollywood are either fools or pretentious, deliberately raising their own value.
Dong Peiyu has fantasies about Hollywood, and so do other people in the company. However, Hu Xiaoxiao is the boss, and Huang Yuliang does not interfere with Hu Xiaoxiao's work, so they dare not express any objections.
Even people in the entire circle have fantasies about Hollywood. Anyone who has the opportunity wants to fight hard to make it to Hollywood.
Having repeatedly given up on Hollywood and instead headed for the seemingly impoverished and underdeveloped inland areas, Hu Xiaoxiao's keen hearing had repeatedly led her to be called stupid and mentally ill. Even if she was optimistic about the mainland market, she should have waited until it improved and matured before heading there. Was she rushing to open up new land so soon?
When Hu Xiaoxiao heard these remarks, he just laughed it off: That's right, she went there to open up new land.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you wait until everything is already developed, you might not even be able to get a ticket. Should I just go find a pier and pay my respects, and have them offer me a meal?
Why not just contribute to the construction of a dock when others are building it, and build your own? Build it alongside them, sharing the joys and sorrows. They will even be kind to you and look up to you.
You weren't there when we worked so hard to build the pier, and now that it's finally completed, you're allowed to take advantage of it for free? How could that be possible!
Hu Xiaoxiao could just laugh off other people's opinions, but she had to pay more attention to the opinions of the people in the company. Otherwise, if the people in the company became shaken about the future development, it would affect the subsequent work.
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the emails and faxes in his hand again, then picked up one of them.
It stated the salary offered to her by Hamlet Company. If Hu Xiaoxiao remembered correctly, this salary was the highest salary a Hong Kong star could get in Hollywood.
Hu Xiaoxiao picked up a pen and added a zero after the salary figure.
After taking a look, she crossed out the Hong Kong dollars and changed them to US dollars.
"If they agree to this price, I can consider it." Hu Xiaoxiao handed the paper to Dong Peiyu.
Dong Peiyu was stunned when she saw the number Hu Xiaoxiao changed. "This price is enough to cover the investment of a movie."
"If they think it's too expensive..." Hu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "I can reduce my salary by two zeros and change the currency back to Hong Kong dollars, but I can let Xiong Caiwei or Yuan An'er take this role."
If Xiong Caiwei or Yuan An'er had the opportunity to experience and learn in Hollywood, Hu Xiaoxiao felt it would be worth it, even if it was free. When they came back, he could market them, and their value would go up, wouldn't it?
Dong Peiyu actually had this idea. When she declined them last time, she mentioned that Hu Xiaoxiao didn't have time, but other artists in Shengshi Entertainment had schedules. If it was changed to other artists, they could go to shoot for free.
It was obvious that the other party only had eyes for Hu Xiaoxiao and had no interest in other artists.
"I'll go talk to them again." Dong Peiyu had no hope. Such a high price was comparable to that of Hollywood's top stars. Hamlet Company would not agree. This time they should be able to give up completely.
Dong Peiyu returned to the office and replied to the email, thinking that the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, the next day at work, as soon as she turned on her computer, she saw the reply from Hamlet Company. Director Philip actually agreed.
Dong Peiyu suspected that she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes and stared carefully at the new salary offered by the other party. There was one more zero than the original one, and it was in US dollars!
They agreed to Hu Xiaoxiao's offer.
This world is so magical!
