My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 321: 10 Billion Investment Overturns the Film Industry

Chapter 321: Chapter 321: 10 Billion Investment Overturns the Film Industry

At the press conference, Lu Man, Yang Rou, and Sister Mei Li made their appearance together.

Lu Man, as the Executive Director of the company, wasn’t dressed in her usual overly glamorous attire but wore a black business suit, even her makeup intentionally leaned towards strong, professional look.

The media invited to this event were brought in by Yang Rou and Song Chuang, including major media websites and some large newspapers and magazines. These were friends they had known for many years, to prevent any leaks in advance.

In addition to maintaining secrecy, their goal was to keep the entire press conference under the company’s control.

The press conference began with Lu Man seated in the central main seat, flanked by Sister Mei Li and Yang Rou.

She tapped the microphone then confidently began, "We’ve invited you all here primarily to announce a significant plan of our company."

"Due to the group’s very optimistic view of our company’s performance recently and even more so of the future of the domestic film and television industry, we will further increase our investment in Chenlu Film Company."

"For the development of the domestic film and television industry, Chenlu Film Company has decided to allocate these funds across the industry. We are launching a film development program named ’Sunrise Plan’."

"The plan is to invest ten billion in real money over the next five years, benefiting mutually with the entire industry in investing, producing, and distributing various film and television projects."

"Whether it’s film companies or talented producers, directors, screenwriters, or actors, all can share projects with us, submit projects, or apply to participate in this program."

"No matter the project size, we will provide support and compensation at more than 1.5 times the industry standard, hire personnel, and produce films."

"And, we will also use our resources to distribute and promote these film and television projects."

"This time, we are holding a small press conference in advance to announce this."

"Next month, we will host a major press conference to further explain the ’Sunrise Plan.’ And on that day, we will announce the first batch of film and television series that qualify."

Even though the journalists present had anticipated that this secretive press conference would reveal something significant, they were still somewhat shocked when they actually heard about the plan!

Investing ten billion!

More than 1.5 times the salary!

Open to all companies and workers in the industry...

Isn’t this a bit too generous?

A journalist immediately raised their hand and asked, "Hello, Miss Lu Man. I have a question. You mentioned there’s already a first batch of projects, does this mean that the plan has already been underway secretly?"

Hearing the journalist’s question, Lu Man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that’s right."

"Two months ago, we had already reached cooperation intentions with hundreds of companies in the industry, deciding to share resources, and produce and distribute related projects."

"In the past two months, we have selected seven movies, one variety show, and three television series."

"The projects have almost all been finalized. This will become the first batch under the Chenlu Plan."

Hearing Lu Man’s words, everyone present exchanged glances.

This really was a shock to everyone!

Quietly, Chenlu Film Company had amassed such a huge move!

Two months ago, everyone knew about Lu Man’s celebration party, which had nearly 90 percent of the industry’s companies in attendance.

Back then, everyone just thought those companies were there to honor the Zhao Family, but it turned out, they had actually reached such agreements behind the scenes!

Another journalist raised their hand and asked, "Hello. May I ask Miss Lu Man, in what capacity are you participating in the production of these series? Will you need to be the leading actress?"

Lu Man responded with a smile, "Of course not. For most of the projects, I will only appear as a producer and in the credits behind the scenes."

"But, if there is a role suitable for me, I will certainly not shirk from taking it!"

"After all, I love acting, and I hope to be involved in quality film and television projects."

Listening to Lu Man’s "tactful" words, while silently criticizing, people also marveled at Lu Man’s fortune!

This celebrity, ever since she got involved with that young wealthy man, has been soaring unstoppable!

She starred in a hugely successful movie, won the Best Actress award, and now got such substantial support!

Ten billion in investment, 1.5 times the salary, monopolizing projects!

In the next five years, can Lu Man pick from all the projects in the domestic film and television industry?

Which other actress has brought funding into a crew so aggressively?

This is like casting a net to scoop all the "fish" in the entertainment industry and letting Lu Man pick at will.

This is completely a crushing strategy!

While mulling it over, people continued to ask about the "Sunrise Plan" at the press conference.

For the most part, Lu Man answered the questions, with Sister Mei Li and Yang Rou adding comments.

This phenomenon also caught the attention of those present, and someone raised their hand to inquire about Lu Man’s current position in the company.

Both Yang Rou and Lu Man truthfully informed that besides being the major boss of the talent agency, Lu Man was also the Executive Director of Chenlu Film Company. She represented the shareholders in developing the company’s strategy and supervised the company’s daily operations.

This made everyone present once again marvel at how different Lu Man’s status was, even completely different from other celebrities in the industry.

Other celebrities, even top-tier ones with their own studios, were still managed by the company and had to follow the arrangements of the headquarters.

But Lu Man had already become a shareholder, and even held a position above Yang Rou, the General Manager, supervising the company’s operations...

Given the capabilities Chenlu Film Company was now showing, the amount of power she held was among the top in the entire industry. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

She truly was a major figure, now widely recognized as Sister Man...

Soon, the press conference ended.

And with the conclusion of the press conference,相关信息也很快都泄露了出去,而这呈现出了两极分化的状态.

Various online portals and websites started featuring many promotional material and news articles about the "Sunrise Plan."

Many netizens were curious about how effective this plan would be and how many good movies it would produce.

In the industry...

Just over an hour ago, those in the industry who were mocking the boycott of Xu Brothers Film Company by Lu Man were silent after receiving news of this conference...

Five years, ten billion in investment.

Investing and producing hundreds of film and television projects. And all doing so with pay and treatment above 1.5 times the industry standard.

Having reached cooperation intentions with hundreds of film companies, with the first batch of projects already finalized and officially recruiting their own projects from the industry.

Whether you want to invest together or submit projects to obtain production fees, or even participate in these projects, everyone is welcome at Chenlu Film Company!

How big is the whole film industry?

Looking at the box office, last year’s total revenue from domestic movies was only 30 billion!

Even adding variety shows and TV dramas, it would barely reach 50 billion.

And that’s revenue, not production costs!

Now, Chenlu Film Company is injecting ten billion in production costs to further boost the film industry!

What opportunities and development will this bring?

The film industry is vast, yet small for many tycoons, just a minor branch of entertainment. Hence it had never been taken seriously by the major players.

But now, the wolf is here...

If it were any other company announcing such a plan, investing ten billion, raising wages, people might not care, thinking it’s just drawing big pies in the sky or bragging.

But don’t forget, Chenlu Film Company proved everyone wrong last year by fulfilling all its promises.

Those who first followed Chenlu, and even those who joined later, everyone made a fortune!

And now, Chenlu Film Company intends to use the same method to further boost the film industry.

This credibility is full.

All practitioners can even foresee the next five years in the film industry: get good projects, quality scripts, first go to Chenlu Film Company to try, and if they disagree, then find others.

This is entirely using money to heavily smash the market!

And at this time, everyone remembered the ban issued by Lu Man a few hours ago.

Banning Xu Brothers and their related projects and artists. And denying cooperation with those who refused to cooperate with Xu Brothers.

This ban that seemed like a joke a few hours ago now appeared very powerful.

Though Xu Brothers are big, they don’t invest in many projects annually, mostly internal. They only form crews by recruiting industry practitioners. Generally, these opportunities don’t come around often.

But it’s different with Chenlu Film Company...

Hundreds of projects, too many opportunities, and higher salaries.

This... it seems like participating in Xu Brothers’ projects would mean losing a lot of opportunities.

Thinking this way, industry people even felt Xu Brothers were somewhat pitiful: of all people to provoke, they provoked Lu Man...the ban attempt backfired. Now they must be dumbfounded...

And while the industry was boiling over, choosing sides, the main character of the event, Lu Man, sat in the car, humming a song, playing on her phone, heading to Chen Yan’s house.
