Chapter 14 Dawn
noon.
On the way back to Jingyuan.
"Xiaoxue, your mother told me that you don't want to study psychology, but want to study journalism instead, and even said you want to be a reporter? Great! Your father supports you. Our Xiaoxue will definitely become an excellent reporter in the future."
Xia Xue turned her gaze away from the car window.
"Thank you for your support, Father."
The tone was polite but distant.
Xia Jun sighed inwardly.
"There's still over a month before school starts. What do you plan to do during that time?"
Xia Xue thought for a moment and then said, "I want to make a short drama."
Xia Jun hadn't expected this answer.
"Why are you making a short drama? Is there a reason?"
Xia Xue stated frankly, "I think Fang Rou has the potential to become very popular, and I made this short drama to promote her."
Fang Rou, Xia Xue's best friend.
It seems that the information says Xia Xue has been trying to persuade Fang Rou to enter the entertainment industry.
Young girls' thoughts are truly...
Xia Jun smiled and shook his head, saying, "Okay, you want to film a short drama, then let's film it. Do you have enough money?"
Xia Xue replied earnestly, "Last night, I looked up some information and found that filming a short drama only costs two or three hundred thousand yuan. The allowance you gave me is more than enough. However, I'm a novice, and even if I wanted to find someone to film it, I wouldn't know who to ask, so..."
At this point, Xia Xue fell silent, staring intently at Xia Jun.
Xia Jun smiled and said, "Haha, so you thought of me and wanted me to help you?"
Xia Xue nodded.
Please.
With the face of Jiangcheng's richest man, finding a few reliable people to help her assemble a film crew should be quite simple, right?
Xia Jun's smile deepened.
The fact that Xia Xue asked him for help shows that she doesn't consider him an outsider.
Xia Jun waved his hand and said, "Perfect timing. I own an entertainment company that I hold private shares in. I'll transfer it to you when we get back."
Xia Xue was stunned.
Is this what a wealthy family is like?
Introducing connections is for ordinary people; wealthy families simply give you a company.
only…
"I have never run a company before."
Xia Jun said nonchalantly, "No one can do it well right from the start. Take it slow, and you'll get better with practice."
Unfamiliar territory, full of concerns.
"I know absolutely nothing about the entertainment industry."
Xia Jun analyzed and encouraged, "If you want to help your best friend become a star, you'll have to get involved in the entertainment industry eventually. Don't be afraid, just learn as you go. Dad believes in you."
Having collected so many treasure chests, managing a company shouldn't be a problem, right?
Anyway, with the Xia family as a backer, if things don't go well, we can just give it back to my father.
It's more important to verify my guess and test the system mechanism.
"Thank you, Father."
Xia Jun nodded in satisfaction.
That's right.
Things a father gives to his daughter.
Don't be so polite.
Xia Jun began to introduce the entertainment company he was going to give to Xia Xue.
"Have you heard of this entertainment company?"
Xia Xue had never paid attention to the entertainment industry before, and she didn't even recognize all the celebrities, let alone the entertainment companies behind them.
"Chenxi Entertainment is a long-established entertainment company in Jiangcheng."
"In previous years, it invested in several big productions, but they all failed. Either they couldn't be released for some reason, or their performance after release failed to meet expectations. In just two years, it lost 300 million yuan, and shareholders withdrew their investments one after another."
"After hearing about it, I carefully checked the information and found that Chenxi Entertainment was excellent in terms of talent reserves, production capabilities, various qualifications, and network platforms. The reason for its failure was that its overall strategy was wrong and it went against the trend."
"So I made a decisive move, bought up Chenxi Entertainment at a low price, then personally stepped in to stabilize the company's main team, and then adjusted the company's strategic direction."
"I no longer pursue big productions or chase popular themes. I fully respect the production team and let them find scripts, find people, and film on their own. As a result, I achieved results in less than half a year. Over the past three years, the results have been getting better and better, and I have produced several blockbusters. I have finally preserved my reputation as a Midas touch."
Xia Xue was stunned.
Is business warfare really that simple?
"Do you like listening?"
Xia Jun's eyes lit up when he saw Xia Xue's reaction, and he asked with a smile.
It seems my father has misunderstood something.
Xia Xue scratched her cheek with her finger and mumbled, "I just feel that business warfare is different from what I imagined."
"Haha, what kind of business wars do you imagine? Bloodshed, a fight to the death? Or espionage? Or maybe using boiling water to kill your rival's money tree? Haha..."
Wow, is the richest man really this down-to-earth?
They even know the joke about "pouring boiling water on a money tree".
After lunch, Xia Jun took a car back to the company.
Xia Xue returned to her bedroom and immediately called Fang Rou.
"What? Filming a short drama? Me? And as the female lead? No way, no way, I definitely can't do it."
Xia Xue analyzed seriously: "Xiao Rou, I've looked into it. Short dramas don't require high acting skills from actors. As long as you find the right script that fits the character and the production team is reliable, the final product won't be too bad. Moreover, the audience for short dramas doesn't have high expectations for acting skills, so even if you're a newcomer, you can definitely handle it."
Fang Rou hesitated for a long time before finally refusing, saying, "No, I really have no intention of entering the entertainment industry, and besides, my parents would absolutely never agree."
Xia Xue sighed and said, "Alright, I'll produce a few dramas first to familiarize myself with the process and gain some experience. When you want to act, remember to contact me, and I'll definitely make you a household name."
Fang Rou didn't understand Xia Xue's insistence on getting her into the entertainment industry, but she knew that everything Xia Xue did was for her own good, and she appreciated it.
"Thank you, Xiaoxue."
The two chatted on the phone for a while longer before hanging up.
Xia Xue stood on the balcony and shook her head slightly.
"As expected, it's very difficult to change the course of the story. Oh well, sharpening the axe won't delay the work. I'll prepare in advance, and when the storyline of Fang Rou entering the entertainment industry comes up, I can directly intervene and see if I can unlock a new treasure chest."
Fang Rou's mother knocked gently on the door and came in carrying a fruit platter.
"Whose call was that?"
Fang Rou picked up a strawberry with her fork and casually replied, "It's Xiaoxue's call, it's still about entering the entertainment industry."
Fang Rou's mother shook her head and chuckled, "Your best friend is great in every way, except she thinks too highly of the entertainment industry. She always encourages you to become a star. Being a star isn't a glamorous profession. Xiao Rou, promise Mom we won't go into the entertainment industry."
Fang Rou picked up another piece of apple, swung her legs, hummed a little tune, and replied impatiently.
"Okay, Mom."
Fang Rou got up and pushed her mother away.
"I'm going to take a lunch break, Mom. You should go to work now."
Fang Rou sat in front of the dressing table, propping her chin up with her right hand, looking at herself in the mirror with a dreamy gaze.
"A celebrity..."
