Lin Xiaoxiao now completely understood. Her brother had lost face and chose to temporarily acknowledge her, letting her act in a drama to help him regain his dignity. No wonder he didn't use her to prove his loyalty. But while she understood, all she knew how to do was cause trouble; she had no idea how to act in a good drama!
After Lin Xiaoxiao finished explaining, the assistant didn't say anything, only that he would report to President Lin.
When Lin Xiaoxiao received another call from her brother, he was abroad on business. "Lin Xiaoxiao, didn't you want to prove your loyalty to me? Then prove it to me. When the time comes, all the domestic film and television shares will be yours."
Lin Xiaoxiao tasted the familiar pie in the sky. No, I'm thinking, you don't even have a share of the domestic film and television market. The Lin Group has never been involved in the film and television industry. Moreover, you just invested and entered the market, and you were kicked out by some bigwig in the film and television industry. How can you give me everything as soon as you open your mouth?
Lin Xiaoxiao herself said that the offer was too big, and she was afraid of overeating it, so she declined. However, before she has saved enough money to live comfortably and before she has found someone to take over the company, she still needs to show her loyalty.
"No, brother, do you still remember that 100 million loyalty? Even though we made money from it later, just tell me if I spent it all or not."
There was silence on the other end. "If you don't want to, then forget it."
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly retorted, "No, brother, I've already made up my mind! I even spent over a million yuan from my own savings to show you my determination, you have to reimburse me, right? I've already made up my mind, you can't keep making me keep making promises..."
"I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. If you're not willing, I don't mind kicking you out of the Lin family."
Lin Ruizhe, thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao's love of money, added, "Of course, you can't take a single penny with you, including what you earned before."
Lin Xiaoxiao was bitter inside. These unreasonable capitalists—ugh! She'd already bowed down and pledged her loyalty, and it still wasn't enough! They even threatened her! Those damn capitalists! She could only say that you can't be without temper when dealing with wolves; where there is oppression, there is resistance. She just had been too optimistic before. But complaining aside, now wasn't a good time to fight back.
"No, no, no, I'm willing, I'm willing, okay? It's just that this drama might not be good..."
Lin Ruizhe also knew he couldn't push people too hard. "As long as you don't do anything malicious, just film normally. The result doesn't matter. I will remember your efforts."
Lin Ruizhe thought to himself, the result was important, of course. Lin Xiaoxiao was a director whose films were guaranteed hits; if she dared to make a piece of trash and tarnish his reputation with M Platform, he'd better be prepared for her reckoning. That guy was almost back in China, and since Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat useful, it would be better to bring her into his team. But if Lin Xiaoxiao dared to play any tricks, he would make sure she knew the consequences of messing with him. He remembered the He Group behind M Platform.
Unaware of the truth, Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Don't worry, big brother, I will do my best."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt heavy-hearted after hanging up the phone. How did she end up as a rich second-generation heiress, a boss, but still working like a laborer? If it were before, she could slam her fist on the table and tell the other party, "I quit!" But now, if she said she quit, the next second the other party would pack her bags and make her get out, and even make her vomit up everything she ate. Just thinking about it made her sad.
The Lin family may not have much else, but they have plenty of money and children. As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." If life is tough, think of the Red Army's Long March of 25,000 li; if it's tiring, think of the Red Army veterans. "No pain, no gain." She'd just consider it working for a ruthless capitalist; at least she was earning more than before. She hoped Lin Ruizhe wouldn't get the chance to experience being kicked out one day. Of course, for now, she was just fantasizing.
Lin Xiaoxiao's good attitude was evident at this moment. Once she adjusted her mindset, she began to think about this fantasy drama. If you asked her what was bad about the drama and why, she could give a very detailed and eloquent explanation.
But if you ask her how to make a good drama, she's completely clueless. It seems we can't dismiss any of those brilliant minds from before; we have to bring them all in to help her come up with solutions.
Looking at the 100 million yuan investment, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly had a wicked idea. You think you can threaten and coerce? Well, there's always a way around that. The 100 million yuan for the talent show was pre-arranged; the money for voting would ultimately go to the contestants, so she couldn't touch it. But this 100 million yuan investment—wouldn't she be able to keep more? Enough to pay her employees' salaries for many years. Besides, this was all money she had genuinely saved; the rest of the money would definitely be hers, right?
Since her brother said that as long as he doesn't do anything bad, what is she afraid of?
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and she grinned at the prospect of a 100 million yuan investment.
The theme song, ending theme, and various insert songs for this drama—whatever the genre—were all commissioned to Yan Zhaowei, the champion who was recently signed. The company's music department had already hired a few people and had all the equipment, so there shouldn't be any additional expenses. At most, they'd just give out a bigger bonus at the end of the project.
As for the actors, let's go with Sheng Yiyi and Zhang Nan. It's so much more convenient to use people from our own company; we can't let outsiders benefit from their jobs, hehe. They contribute a fair amount to our monthly salaries for social insurance and housing fund, so we should make good use of them.
Let's get Zhang Laoda for the filming team. After all, he pays her social insurance and housing fund contributions every month, and she just screwed him over. Let's bring them all over to work for her.
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and smiled. A fantasy drama would definitely need post-production special effects. Previous post-production work only involved editing, not special effects. This wouldn't stump Lin Xiaoxiao; she could just have Secretary Zhao hire a five-person team to do it, thus saving money.
We should just hire some people for costumes and props; it would definitely be cheaper than outsourcing to big names in the costume and prop industry.
