Chapter 195 Male Supporting Tool
Of course, the investment in the drama "Ambush" is incomparable to that of "Cell Phone". It is a meticulous and slow work. The release date is expected to be next year. Therefore, Lin Ruoyan also asked the cost department to make an actuarial calculation and control the amount of investment for the drama every month.
Compared to these film investments, Lin Ruoyan definitely values the development of the cinema chain. Investors in film production don't get the lion's share of the box office revenue, so don't get too excited about the box office revenue of over 100 million yuan, as most of the profits go to the cinema chain.
That's why she insisted on running her own cinema chain, so that she could get more of her investment back. She didn't seek huge profits, but at least she couldn't lose money, so as to achieve a balance between income and expenditure and maintain stability.
Lin Ruoyan was never shy about spending money on the protagonists and supporting characters in the original book, especially the men. However, her actual spending differed significantly from the amount the wasteful system interpreted. The men were reduced to mere tools for Lin Ruoyan to make money.
The Prodigal System saw the host generously approve another 20 million yuan investment for Wei Xu's film, which would be paid in several installments. It also tricked Hua Na into investing over 20 million yuan as well. It was extremely excited and said, "Host, you still remember Wei Xu. I thought you had changed your taste."
"Of course I remember such a good money-spending tool." While answering, Lin Ruoyan also took out Wei Xu's poster to admire.
The prodigal system fanned the flames, saying, "Since the host likes him, why not have a sweet love affair with him that's destined to end in a breakup? At least we have to go through the storyline, right?"
Lin Ruoyan had already forgotten the plot. She was so busy with her career that she didn't have the time to fall in love. Besides, if a man was good-looking, she could just look at him directly, without having to keep him by her side. "The forest is so big, I don't want to just hang around one tree."
The prodigal system instigated: [With the host's financial resources and time management skills, it's possible to multi-thread and simultaneously capture several other male supporting characters.]
Lin Ruoyan asked doubtfully, "Didn't I already spend money on Hao Heshan? He's the male supporting character who has a crush on the heroine of the original book. Who else is there?"
The prodigal system was momentarily speechless. The original storyline didn't actually explicitly mention any other male supporting characters, but there were many men secretly in love with Lin Ruoyan. Not to mention the grateful young men in the company, who knew they weren't good enough for her and kept their composure. Outside of the company, there was indeed another one: [That guy, Wu Chenghao, you remember him? He likes you, you can't fail to sense it, right?]
"Oh, I remember. I heard from Hao Heshan that he also rented an office at Shijs and planned to develop smartphone apps." When Lin Ruoyan mentioned this man, she naturally thought of the possibility of him becoming a competitor in the future. "Are you suggesting that I do something about him now?"
The Prodigal System sensed that the host was about to attack Wu Chenghao, and said: [Yes, it's him. Host, don't you think about it? ]
Lin Ruoyan's thoughts were certainly different from the system's unspeakable plot. She said confidently, "I need to think about it carefully. I plan to observe Wu Chenghao for a while. If he can really develop a smartphone app, I will acquire his company or consider investing in it."
Spendthrift System: [Hiss, Host, if you don't consider developing a romantic relationship, then focus on getting Wu Chenghao to offer his company for love. This is also a way to get something for nothing, eliminate competitors, and make money for yourself at the same time.]
Lin Ruoyan thought about it seriously. The idea of spending less money and getting more done was a good one, but she had no experience playing with people's feelings. Besides, was Wu Chenghao really the kind of person who would be swayed by emotions?
She recalled the time she invited Wu Chenghao to the company to discuss things with Hao Heshan, but she ran off mid-sentence to Hangzhou, and nothing happened after that. So, she hesitated and said, "This Wu Chenghao isn't the love-brained type like Wei Xu. If he was willing to sacrifice his career for me, he would have done it when we first met. Now he's forgotten my existence for the sake of his career, and I don't think that's acceptable."
The prodigal system said: [Isn't this kind of man more challenging? ]
Lin Ruoyan calmed down, weighed the pros and cons, and said firmly, "I don't lack his career, and he doesn't look like what I like. What do I want? Am I going to make myself uncomfortable? Or do I lack a master to serve? If I have that time, I might as well go to my own film and television company to look at handsome guys."
Lin Ruoyan had been busy running around with projects lately, and her temper was still flaring. She was interacting with people from the real estate company, and even though Hao Heshan had moved to the Shijs District office, he still came back to the headquarters office almost every week to report to her and supervise the progress of the Information Department.
Hao Heshan, the infatuated male supporting character in the original book, is particularly likely to attract the attention of the prodigal system. Originally, the prodigal system suspected that Lin Ruoyan had changed her taste and did not like handsome guys, but preferred talented Hao Heshan or Wu Chenghao. Now, through communication, the prodigal system has dispelled this idea.
After all, Lin Ruoyan still wanted to query some information from the system in the future, so after giving her a slap, she comforted her, "In fact, these men whose looks don't meet my aesthetic standards are already my money-making tools. Don't worry, even if we're not in a relationship, I can still spend a lot of money on them, and they will become more and more dependent on me and become my partners. Don't focus on the process, just look at the end result."
The prodigal system seemed to have realized something. Were the men who silently contributed to Lin Ruoyan's company also "conquered" in this way? Did they turn those emotions of unrequited love into motivation for work, staying by her side and silently contributing?
And it seems that it's not just the men, the women are even more enthusiastic at work, and each one works harder than the men.
After all, women make up more than half of the company's senior management. They are in high positions and are appreciated by President Lin. Those women who were always marginalized in other companies came to Lin's Real Estate and found that women can also live so freely and realize their dreams and build careers. Of course, they are more enthusiastic about working for Lin Ruoyan.
Lin Ruoyan didn't know what the system had realized. She liked talented people, regardless of gender, but talent couldn't just wash away her eyes.
Aside from discussing with Hao Heshan how web games could expand overseas, Lin Ruoyan didn't really want to see the programmer with thinning hair. She also wasn't attracted to the increasingly plump Wu Chenghao. Everyone loves beauty, but if possible, she'd rather see the younger, fresher guys in the company.
My company is full of hardworking and dedicated individuals. When they first joined, the HR department screened them, and the men were all decent looking. Some of the taller ones looked like South Korean movie stars. But once they got to work, with their camp beds being used frequently, the South Korean movie stars gradually became as unkempt as the migrant workers from North Korea.
So Lin Ruoyan, with the attitude that no one else could suffer but herself, often went to Lao Dai's film and television company to watch handsome men and beautiful women in order to adjust her mood and refresh her eyes.
Today, while strolling around Old Dai's place, Lin Ruoyan unexpectedly ran into Fang Yue. What kind of business could Fang Yue have with Old Dai or her film and television company here?
