Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 936: You’ll Regret It in the Future
In the film circle, fans don’t know many things and rules.
Sheng Tang’s fans are blindly happy.
Passersby are indifferent.
But within the industry, everyone was shocked, and suddenly everyone was paying attention to this matter.
A new production company emerged, which is nothing special; countless small production companies are registered every day.
Sheng Tang’s case is notable for two reasons.
First, she is the president of Bo Yue Film and Television. She’s not the legal representative, so she doesn’t have to bear debt risks. Her foolish boyfriend takes on everything for her.
Many people say, "This woman is capable. Gu You’s son doesn’t seem like a fool, yet he’s completely captivated by her, handing over two hundred million to register a company for her to play with and even serves as the legal representative."
Sheng Tang is in charge of the company’s operations.
The first film she invested in was two hundred million.
In the market, any investment over two hundred million will attract attention from all sides, from director to main actor, even the producer, and must go through layers of selection.
Sheng Tang’s side was very aggressive, with hardly any rumors beforehand.
"She didn’t seek any collaboration, just self-producing."
"This is too suicidal; it’s practically a joke! Even if it’s her newly started company, even among the top three film companies, projects over two hundred million rarely go solo."
"This woman isn’t focusing on acting; she’s meddling in production and making so much trouble from the start. She’s too unfortunate."
No one is optimistic about her.
Her solo venture is also seen as self-destructive.
Second, after Sheng Tang’s film became a hit, many producers wanted to collaborate with her but heard that she had her own production company, so they couldn’t hold out hope on her for the short term.
Many roles desperately need a beautiful actress with box office appeal. Sheng Tang’s status in the film circle is becoming irreplaceable.
Producers who submitted project proposals and are waiting for her response have their hearts shattered.
In the president’s office of Huatai Film and Television, one of the country’s top three production companies, two men are talking, and the atmosphere is a bit tense.
"Is the news true?" President Tang asked Liu Taofang.
Sheng Tang and Huatai Film and Television’s co-produced movie "White Snake" hasn’t been released. This film was wholly funded by Huatai and also had a budget of two hundred million.
If Sheng Tang’s venture fails, "White Snake" will be affected, and President Tang won’t be able to explain to the board.
"It’s true," Liu Taofang said, "She’s indeed very optimistic about this project."
"Did you know in advance?"
"I knew."
"Didn’t you advise her?" President Tang asked again.
Liu Taofang was puzzled, "Advise on what? Sheng Tang has a good eye; this movie should be able to explode."
"This film, whether in terms of operation method or subject matter, is unreasonable."
Liu Taofang: "No precedent exists for any movie that explodes big. Once a model exists, real explosions become very difficult."
President Tang: "..."
He paused, finally telling Liu Taofang, "Calling you here this time is to urge ’White Snake’s’ post-production to try and release it as soon as possible.
If Sheng Tang’s new film comes out first and has problems, it will greatly affect our movie. This film cannot afford to fail. You’ve finally turned things around; don’t let it fall apart again."
Liu Taofang: "..."
He felt President Tang underestimated Sheng Tang.
However, President Tang was simply conveying the opinions of other senior leaders.
Everyone at the company thinks Sheng Tang is self-destructing and is worried "White Snake" will be affected by her, deciding to add some special effects budget to ensure "White Snake" can be released as early as possible.
Liu Taofang was unconcerned.
"Perhaps, you will regret it in the future," Liu Taofang thought slowly as he left the president’s office.
