Chapter 7 Tian'ai at age 2
An hour later, Zeng Hao walked out of Ping An Bank with a transfer receipt for 200 million yuan in his hand.
Standing at the bank entrance, he looked at the receipt in his hand and let out a long sigh.
This 200 million yuan was Sunshine Entertainment's lifeline.
With this money, the company can survive this most difficult month, the "Go Princess Go" project can be launched, and the road ahead can proceed step by step.
He took out his phone and called Sister Liu.
"Sister Liu, the loan has been received, and the company is preparing to pay salaries. Also, I'll be calling a meeting tomorrow for everyone in the production department to announce the official launch of the new project."
"Yes, Mr. Zeng!" Sister Liu's voice was full of excitement.
After hanging up, Zeng Hao dialed another number.
"Hello, Lao Li? This is Zeng Hao."
"President Zeng." Old Li's voice was somewhat reserved.
"How's your decision?"
Old Li was silent for two seconds, then said, "President Zeng, I'm willing to stay."
"Okay, we'll sign the supplementary contract tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the company conference room."
"Okay, Mr. Zeng."
After making several phone calls to confirm that the photography team, lighting team, art team, and director were all in place, Zeng Hao nodded in satisfaction.
With the core members of the production department retained, the next steps are script submission and casting.
He checked the time; it was 3:30 PM.
The General Administration's service windows close at 5 p.m., so it's still not too late to go now.
Zeng Hao hailed a taxi and headed straight for the General Administration.
At 4 PM, at the Qianhu City Radio and Television Filing Window.
Zeng Hao handed the prepared procedural materials to the staff.
"The web series 'Go Princess Go' has been filed for approval, with 30 episodes."
The staff member took the materials, glanced through them, and asked, "Is the production company Sunshine Entertainment?"
"right."
"Has it been filed before?"
"Last year, we filed a film called 'The Lion's Reflection of a Lazy Cat'."
The staff checked on the computer and said, "Found it. Let me see the synopsis of this show."
Zeng Hao had already prepared a detailed project description, including a story outline, character settings, episode outlines, etc.
The staff carefully examined the form for more than ten minutes before finally stamping it.
"Okay, we've received the materials. We expect to get the review results within two weeks, and we'll call you then."
"OK, thanks."
Zeng Hao walked out of the broadcasting station with the receipt in his hand, and a weight was finally lifted from his heart.
Once the registration process is complete, we just need to wait for approval before filming can officially begin.
According to his memory, "Go Princess Go" should have been filmed by a small company some time later. Now he has taken the lead and submitted the script first, so even if that company had the same idea, it was too late.
When it comes to creative ideas, whoever reports them first gains the upper hand.
He stood at the entrance of the broadcasting bureau, looking at the city under the setting sun, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Next, it's time to go to Hengdian.
Go find that actress who's still playing minor roles but will become a star overnight with "Go Princess Go".
The other party is not yet famous, and is the best match, so the success rate is almost guaranteed.
Zeng Hao took out his phone and booked a high-speed rail ticket to Hengdian for three days later.
The success or failure of this drama is crucial to whether Sunshine Entertainment can truly overcome its difficulties.
He cannot afford any mistakes.
I got back to the company at 6 p.m.
Only Sister Liu was left in the office, still working overtime.
"Mr. Zeng, have all the materials been submitted?" Sister Liu asked, looking up.
"Yes, we'll have results within two weeks." Zeng Hao sat down in the chair. "By the way, how much money is in the company's account right now?"
Sister Liu opened the financial system and looked at it. "Including the 200 million that arrived today, the total is now 207 million."
"How much is your salary this month?"
32.
"After paying salaries, there's 175 million left in the account." Zeng Hao calculated on the paper, "I'll set aside 50 for the initial funding of 'Go Princess Go,' and the remaining 125 million will be used as operating capital for the company. How much of Yang Shanshan's appearance fees should we expect to come back this month?"
Ms. Liu checked the records and said, "She has taken on five commercial performances and two variety show appearances this month, and is expected to earn around 18 yuan."
"It's still not enough." Zeng Hao shook his head. "Help her take a few more, as many as she can. Once this month's time is up, we'll schedule her for the next few days."
Sister Liu looked a little embarrassed. "President Zeng, Yang Shanshan complained to me a couple of days ago that the workload this month is too heavy and she can't handle it."
"Then let her grit her teeth and keep going." Zeng Hao's tone left no room for negotiation. "Once 'Back to 20' starts filming, she can rest. The more she does now, the easier things will be later."
Sister Liu nodded. "I understand."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Zeng Hao stood in the waiting hall of Qianhu City High-speed Railway Station, carrying a black suitcase, looking at the time on his phone.
9:20 a.m.
The high-speed train to Hengdian departs at 9:40, so there are still 20 minutes to go.
He opened the information stored on his phone and confirmed Zhang Tianai's basic information again.
Zhang Tianai was born in 1990 in Hebei Province. In 2007, she was admitted to the Affiliated Secondary School of Beijing Dance Academy. After graduation, she came to Hengdian to work as an extra, and it has been almost five years since then.
Over five years, he worked his way up from extra to featured actor, occasionally getting minor supporting roles with a few lines, but never had a chance to break through.
According to her past life's trajectory, she would have become an overnight sensation with "Go Princess Go" and joined the ranks of top actresses.
But now, Zeng Hao is about to snatch this opportunity away.
He put away his phone and walked towards the ticket gate.
The high-speed train headed south and arrived in Hengdian at 2:40 pm.
After exiting the station, Zeng Hao took a taxi directly to Wansheng Street, the largest extras market in Hengdian World Studios.
This street is a gathering place for extras in Hengdian. Every morning at four or five o'clock, assistant directors from film crews come here to select people. They pay a few dozen yuan a day, provide boxed lunches, and if you're lucky, you can get a line.
By 3 p.m., most of the extras on Wansheng Street had left; those who remained were the ones who hadn't gotten any work that day.
Zeng Hao walked into a milk tea shop, which served as an information hub for extras in Hengdian. The proprietress knew almost every actor working in Hengdian.
"Boss lady, I need to ask about someone." Zeng Hao sat down at the counter.
The proprietress, a woman in her forties, was wiping glasses when she looked up at him. "Who's there?"
"Zhang Tianai, female, born in 90, graduated from Beijing Dance Academy, and worked as an extra in Hengdian for several years."
The proprietress thought for a moment, "I know her. She bought milk tea from me a couple of days ago. What do you want with her?"
"There's a character who wants to talk to her."
The proprietress smiled. "Are you the director? Or the assistant director?"
"Producer".
"Oh, that's a big shot." The proprietress's attitude became much warmer. "Zhang Tianai should be filming today, the crew of 'Ban Shu Legend.' She plays a palace maid in it, and has a couple of lines. The crew is near the Qin Palace. Go and look for her."
Zeng Hao nodded. "Thanks."
He left the milk tea shop and took a taxi to the Qin Palace scenic area.
