How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 47 Wasting Time

Lü Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Director Wang, don't worry! I really like this story..."

She stopped mid-sentence, realized what she was saying, and pulled Jin Ningxin to recite the story, saying, "My Xinxin also really likes this story!"

Jin Ningxin pouted slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Lü Xuan's actions!

Given her age and life experience, she actually prefers movies like "My Sassy Girl." She's just not really into movies like "Love Letter."

There are many things she doesn't understand!

Because too many things are too far removed from her life!

To be honest, Wang Xiaohao was forced into this role. If Lü Xuan hadn't interrupted him earlier, Wang Xiaohao would have almost said, "Then let's not film 'Love Letter' anymore, let's find a fairytale love story that you're satisfied with!"

Lü Xuan said, "I will report this matter to the company; after all, the final decision rests with the company's CEO!"

She sighed and decided to be clear with Wang Xiaohao to avoid wasting his time.

Lü Xuan said, "I personally really like your script!"

However, our company has different plans and arrangements for Xin Xin.

The company is currently trying to land Xin Xin a lead role in an international blockbuster. And it should be quite likely to be successful!

So, I guess, Director Wang, Xin Xin probably won't have time to make your movie!

Wang Xiaohao sighed softly and said, "I understand!"

Lü Xuan said, "However, if Director Wang can't find investment, our company can try to find a way!"

Wang Xiaohao felt disappointed and annoyed. If he wanted to find investment, why did he come to Jin Ningxin?

Now he is fully capable of organizing and producing his own movies, and he has no shortage of investment funds.

However, investing in such a scheme is too risky and requires too much effort and mental energy!

That bastard Huang Anzhong caused investors to lose their money, but he's not afraid. He has connections and isn't afraid of trouble.

Wang Xiaohao has no connections, so if the movie doesn't do well at the box office, he'll be in trouble!

It's not impossible for investors to break their arms and legs!

The success of "My Sassy Girl" only ensured that Wang Xiaohao could easily raise funds for his second film.

However, this doesn't guarantee that Wang Xiaohao won't suffer a terrible fate if his film fails. He doesn't want to take that risk!

At this point, Wang Xiaohao was already considering whether he should find a large company to cooperate with.

Let's not sign a long-term contract, let's try collaborating on a movie first!

Since we've already discussed this much, there really isn't much more to say.

However, when Wang Xiaohao went to the counter, he discovered that Jin Ningxin was a VIP there, and the money went directly from her account!

Wang Xiaohao thought to himself what a pity, Jin Ningxin really looked like a true rich and beautiful woman!

If only I could really latch onto a powerful figure!

Good heavens, I don't want to work hard. Actually, I don't have a very good appetite either, really, I prefer to be a kept man!

Unfortunately, fate didn't give us the chance!

I have no choice but to find a way to earn a living!

Wang Xiaohao took "Love Letter" to several film companies, and when they heard that he was the director of "My Sassy Girl," they were all very polite and treated him like an honored guest.

But when they saw that his second film was an art film, they immediately changed their attitude.

This infuriated Wang Xiaohao!

Yes, art films are unlikely to make money!

It's normal that film companies don't want to invest.

However, such a clear change in attitude still made Wang Xiaohao feel somewhat embarrassed.

In Wang Xiaohao's view, all of this only shows that his reputation is not big enough and the director's name is not big enough.

If you let the imperial advisor from your past life step forward, whether he wants to make an art film or some kind of garbage movie, I bet a huge number of people would rush to fawn over him!

If no one praises you for your shortcomings, it means you're not quite successful yet!

Wang Xiaohao rallied his spirits and decided to continue his hard work!

Since they couldn't get close to Jin Ningxin, filming "Love Letter" was already somewhat pointless.

Wang Xiaohao no longer really wants to make this movie.

As for offering one's allegiance to the core mainstream figures in the circle, that can be done anytime, no rush!

His most important task right now is to establish himself in the film industry!

Wang Xiaohao originally thought that "My Sassy Girl" was enough. But now it seems there's still a lot to go!

"Looks like the second movie will have to be a commercial film! So what kind of movie should it be?"

Jin Ningxin's rejection disrupted Wang Xiaohao's plans.

This made him anxious.

Since "Love Letter" is no longer being filmed, Wang Xiaohao is preparing to make another commercial film.

But suddenly he had no idea what to film!

The key point is that he was anxious.

Because making a movie is not something one person can do alone; it requires a team of people working together.

Ding Binbai, Wang Le'an, Zhao Liang, and other core members of the production team are still waiting for him.

But Wang Xiaohao couldn't keep them waiting forever!

After all, they need to earn a living too.

Wang Xiaohao was worried that these people would be poached by others because he had delayed for too long.

When Wang Xiaohao wants to make a second movie, that will be very difficult!

But Wang Xiaohao couldn't rush things.

He hasn't decided what to film yet. It will take him some time to figure it out and write the script.

Then, preparing to attract investment could take several months or even half a year, which is simply too much of a hassle.

After filming "My Sassy Girl", Wang Xiaohao didn't even go home, but ran to Beijing to look for opportunities.

The film and television industry is a very special place.

What makes this circle so unique is its exclusivity!

Especially in the film industry, it's actually very difficult to get into the business.

Many television directors have perhaps been deeply involved in the film and television industry for decades.

However, his dream of becoming a film director remains incredibly difficult.

There's even a saying that a director who makes television shows isn't a true director; only a director who makes movies is a real director!

It is very difficult for an outsider to step through the closed doors of the film industry.

In particular, it's very difficult to get a tube!

However, if you succeed, even just once, you'll officially step into the film industry.

At this point, many people and a lot of capital will come chasing after you!

Wang Xiaohao has already succeeded once, and there are successful precedents to follow.

As long as his next movie doesn't flop, a large majority of people will be willing to pay him to make movies.

But the entertainment industry has no shortage of money!

In fact, while promoting the release of "My Sassy Girl", Wang Xiaohao got to know a lot of people in the cinema industry, and even a lot of investors.

It's safe to say that if Wang Xiaohao goes back now, he can attract investment on his own!

However, he lacks resources in various aspects, such as official connections, publicity, and relationships with theaters.

Any one of these conditions could shut you down!

Money is the only issue that's easy to solve!
