She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1078 - 896: Super Star 70

When she saved it, it was 22 million. After a year, her various incomes (rent, subscriptions, channel fees, publishing fees, etc.) added up to more than one hundred and seventy thousand, plus bank interest. When she converted the fixed deposit into a current account, the bank card balance was 25.03 million.

With her computer and U shield, she went to Liang An’s company. She first detailed the work plan for "Heiress Strategy" for the next year. Finally, she talked about investment, because "Youth Diary" would only be released during the summer vacation, so the initial investment might mainly rely on Hua Yan’s money.

"Girl, you know, I’ve put all my money into that movie. This half year’s income is still supported by that lottery win of several million. So before the summer vacation, you are the only investor of our ’Heiress.’ I don’t plan to find other investors for this show temporarily. We’ll just invest ourselves. Do you think that’s okay?"

Hua Yan actually was quite worried about "Youth Diary," after all, with their current connections, the future film schedule rate wouldn’t be high. If the film schedule rate isn’t high, then the box office is actually very difficult to predict. Unless, with a low film schedule, there’s a possibility of a comeback, but this hope, even she doesn’t dare to estimate.

And even if there’s a comeback, the biggest winner is still the cinema, who will take at least fifty percent of the shares. The remaining part will be their share.

But now the path for small directors is very difficult. Some famous actors who switch to working behind the scenes looking for investors also face obstacles everywhere. The acting industry may seem glamorous on the surface, but the hardships behind the scenes are known only to them.

Even if "Heiress Strategy" is her own novel, she doesn’t dare to guarantee success. It might flop, and the investment money would go down the drain. She could lose everything overnight. This includes "Youth Diary" also having the potential to flop. But if you are afraid of these things and don’t fight for it, then you will never succeed.

So after Liang An laid out all the possibilities, Hua Yan said she could understand.

"I think we also have advantages. Although using newcomers carries great risks, we shouldn’t be confined to our company’s people. We should cast a wide net to select suitable actors. When selecting actors, I hope to be present! And I must make the final decision. Uncle Liang, are you willing to give me this authority?"

The reason Hua Yan was willing to take a chance was because she had memories from the previous life of the original owner. She knew what roles the stars of tomorrow would rely on to become famous, which people have potential and ability, invisibly making her a golden finger for a comeback.

She took a deep breath, signed the investment contract, and invested 25 million on the spot into Liang An’s company.

Liang An was moved by her courage: "Have you really thought it through? We really might lose money."

Hua Yan nodded, "I’ve thought it through. I’ve given you the money, and the contract is signed. If we really lose money, then it’s just fate. You can use this 25 million first. Later, I’ll add up to thirty million. The remaining money, you’ll have to find a way yourself. We estimated the investment to be fifty million?"

"Yes, if we can invest ourselves, then we’ll do it ourselves. This way, at least we can call the shots. Once investors are brought in, if they take a small share it’s fine, but if they take a large share, we become the ones working for others. So I will grit my teeth and hold on, at worst we’ll hold out with this show for another year!"

In fact, it’s normal for a show to toss around for two or three years from preparation to filming to completion and transfer for review. Some even get held up for multiple shows and cannot be aired. This is all related to policy and topic. You shoot it, and may not get returns in the fastest time, including movies as well.

Even if the box office comes out, when the cinema’s money is paid, no one knows when that will be. So when they say fifty million, in fact, Hua Yan herself is worried whether their company can endure.

Originally she thought she was very rich, but eventually she realized, compared to truly wealthy people, she is nothing.

If it really gets to the point where they can’t support it, those few properties might be her last retreat.

Liang An is conducting a sea election for actors, and she doesn’t necessarily have to personally appear. As long as the company’s people first forward the actor’s information for her to review, whether it’s the primary or secondary selection, she has to be involved for the entire process. This is being responsible for herself.

She’s already looked through the script several times. The changes aren’t particularly significant. The originally satisfying scenes are still retained, which is a place she is quite satisfied with. At least it respects her, so she has memorized every character in the script. When looking through the actor materials, there will be a general analysis of who is suitable for which role.
