Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 144: Sou Fox Enters
Since the Basha Charity Gala, Sheng Yunxuan has been relatively smooth.

He received more than 100,000 yuan in announcement fees from participating in game endorsement activities, which eased his currently tight wallet.

With its own popularity and exposure skyrocketing, the number of users of Liudu.com has increased again.

Various investors have seen the rapid momentum of Liudu.com and have also realized the huge benefits that Sheng Yunxuan's personal star effect has brought to Liudu.com!

The valuation of Liudu Technology is definitely not limited to Liudu.com. Sheng Yunxuan, as the founder, can also be regarded as the company's "core competitiveness and assets"!
After realizing this, the various investors made significant concessions during the negotiations, which enabled Liudu.com to obtain more relaxed conditions.

However, the reason that had the final say in changing the situation completely and making the competition among various capitals more intense was the entry of Sohu Capital!

What Zhang Chaoyang said at the charity dinner that day was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but he really had his eyes on Liudu.com and wanted to bring the website under Sohu's strategic system.

Sohu originally planned to set up its own podcast website by the end of this year.

But at this critical juncture, Liudu.com began to seek financing.

You should know that Liudu.com now has nearly one million users and is the largest blog site in China, bar none!

Its system is mature, with thousands of stable video creators, and it has begun to sign creators and establish self-made columns.

Especially Sheng Yunxuan and his celebrity friends, they also give the website entertainment attributes.

This is a website that has already built its own ecosystem, is ahead of all other websites in the same field, has huge development potential, has attracted attention from all parties, and is about to take off.

Compared to taking the trouble to create his own blog site, Zhang Chaoyang realized that taking advantage of the opportunity of Liudu.com's first round of financing to intervene, or even to completely control Liudu.com in the future, was undoubtedly a more appropriate choice!

So when other investment companies were still trying to be stingy and haggling with Sheng Yunxuan, Sohu Capital entered the market in a high-profile manner!

Eight million US dollars, about 65 million RMB, for 30% of the shares of Liudu.com.

Liudu.com's first round of financing brought its valuation to over 200 million yuan
So far, Sheng Yunxuan has not seen any return on his investment.

But his hard days of living frugally and working hard to earn money just to maintain the bottomless pit of 6degree.com are finally over!

Having regained a large amount of cash flow, Liudu.com began to upgrade its hardware facilities, maintain the operation of the website, and continue to develop in accordance with the decisions made by Sheng Yunxuan.

Sheng Yunxuan, who has been "unemployed" for almost a month, can finally return to his job as an actor!
During this period, Qin Qianrong was not idle either. She was helping Sheng Yunxuan to obtain various resources, especially those related to movies.

While Sheng Yunxuan’s performance in “Initial D” has been recognized, it’s time for him to enter the film industry in a big way!

Qin Qianrong, who also gained something, happily brought two notebooks to Sheng Yunxuan and said:
"How about it, a surprise!"

"They're all big-budget movies directed by famous directors. Even though I only play supporting roles, I'm usually the second or third male lead. So many people in the industry are watching!"

Qin Qianrong is not some inexperienced agent. The movie script that can make her so excited is indeed extraordinary.

The first script was called "Night Banquet", directed by Feng Kuazi, and starring Ge You, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun.

Previously at the Basha Charity Gala, Feng Kuazi was obviously not just being polite, he actually sent Sheng Yunxuan an audition invitation.

Let him audition for the role of the prince, the second male lead, in "The Banquet".

This character may not have left much impression on people, but the clips of his entourage became quite popular on the Internet later.

The prince learns martial arts from a group of masked men in white clothes, and then an assassin comes to kill him.

One of the masked men in white stood motionless with his back to the assassin, dodging the first blow with grace and grace, a true master. Just as the audience expected him to unleash his might, he was struck down twice, his exit as abrupt as that of the Red Flower Society's leader...

In short, this is a movie that Feng Kuazi wanted to make for foreigners to watch, but in the end it turned out to be a terrible movie that pleased neither side!
Let’s look at the second script, called “Autumn Memories”, and the role that Sheng Yunxuan is also going to audition for is also the prince.

The title of the script sounded unfamiliar, but when Sheng Yunxuan saw that it was directed by Zhang Yimou and starred Chow Runfa, Gong Li, and Jay Chou, he immediately understood.

Isn't this just a big wave all over the city...

Ahem, it should be "Curse of the Golden Flower"!

This movie was also aimed at the foreign box office, but was ridiculed as a large-scale MV for Jay Chou.

But to be honest, this one is slightly better than "The Banquet".

At least it looks like a grand scene, grand in every sense of the word, and it’s a feast for the eyes!

At this moment, Sheng Yunxuan looked at Qin Qianrong in front of him and didn't know what to say.

You can't say that the two movie resources you have worked so hard to find these days, although they seem to be big productions by famous directors and have great potential to become hits, are actually just terrible movies?
At this moment, Qin Qianrong did not notice Sheng Yunxuan's strange expression, but said with a hint of regret:

"It's a pity that these two movies have overlapping release dates, otherwise I would have gotten both..."

"But let's not get too greedy. Let's pick out the scripts we like and prepare for the auditions with all our might!"

"They're all works by great directors, so they can't be bad. The company can't make up its mind either. How about this, you take a look at the scripts and choose one that suits your taste."

There were rumors circulating in the industry that Sheng Yunxuan not only had excellent luck, but also knew how to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, and his methods were quite effective...

The top management of Ciwen couldn't make up their minds, so they simply let Sheng Yunxuan make his own choice.

No matter whether he chooses by calculation or by reading the script, it’s up to him.

Sheng Yunxuan, who was facing a choice, looked left and right, his face as if constipated, and whispered:
"Sister Qin, can we not choose either?"

"?"

Looking at Qin Qianrong's puzzled face, Sheng Yunxuan didn't know what to say. He could only choose the slightly better "Autumn Memories" or "Curse of the Golden Flower" from the two bad movies.

Forget it, just treat it as a feast for the eyes...

"Sister, what about film and television dramas?" Sheng Yunxuan asked again.

He is not a person who is too ambitious. He will not stop making TV series just because he has stepped into the film industry.

Later, Liu Tianxian was a negative example. She looked down on TV dramas and went to make movies. After years of hard work, she got nothing in return and delayed her career...

Qin Qianrong was also quite clear-headed and did not expect Sheng Yunxuan to succeed all at once. She was also trying to find resources related to TV dramas.

But there was no way, she hadn't found any good projects for the time being.

"There's a Conferred Gods series in preparation lately, and we're still in contact with the details. Let's see if there's a role that's suitable for you in the end..."
