The path to becoming a tycoon begins with binding to the Godly Rich System.

Guo Mao sat uncomfortably in the spacious but somewhat deserted reception room, his eyes fixed on the doorway.

As an art-house film director, the idea of ​​making a sci-fi blockbuster came shortly after a commercial film flopped.

So even though he tried every possible means, he only managed to secure tens of millions in investment, which was still a considerable distance from his target amount.

"Hello, Mr. Yu." Seeing Yu Heng enter, Guo Mao stood up with a smile and shook hands with Yu Heng's right hand: "I am Guo Mao, and also a director signed with Huanyu."

"Director Guo? Hello." Yu Heng sized up Guo Mao. This Director Guo wasn't very tall, about 1.67 meters. He was also quite thin.

However, his face exudes a sense of age and history, and his slightly graying temples add to his maturity and composure.

"I wonder why Director Guo is looking for me?" After shaking hands with Director Guo, Yu Heng sat down on the sofa opposite him.

"It's like this, Mr. Yu, please take a look." Guo Mao smiled broadly and handed the script in his hand to Yu Heng.

Although Yu Heng had some guesses about Guo Mao's purpose in coming, he was still a little surprised when he actually saw the script Guo Mao handed him: "Director Guo, have you signed with Universe Entertainment? Have you had the project evaluated by the investment department?"

Is it because the evaluation failed that I'm trying my luck here?

"Well, to be honest, Mr. Yu, the company has evaluated the script and they are interested in investing, but they want to change the director." Guo Mao looked worried. "But this is a script I've been working on for a long time, how can I bear to give it up!"

Yu Heng gently opened the script and began to read, his gaze becoming more and more focused as he read.

This script is quite good. If more effort is put into the special effects, it has a high chance of becoming a hit.

Guo Mao stared nervously at Yu Heng, barely daring to breathe.

After a long while, Yu Heng closed the script, looked up at Guo Mao, and said, "Director Guo, this script is indeed very good. But since the company wants to change directors, they must have their reasons, right?"

He didn't know much about this, but since the company had already assessed it, if we exclude personal grudges, then Guo Mao must have some factors that were detrimental to the film's production or promotion.

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Heng said, "Director Guo, could you tell me why the company wants to replace you?"

Guo Mao gave a wry smile: "Mr. Yu, to be honest, I started out making art films, and I had some small successes before."

He picked up his teacup, took a sip to soothe his throat, and then organized his thoughts: "Because one of my previous commercial films flopped badly at the box office, the company felt I was too risky and wanted me to return to making art films."

Guo Mao said, somewhat agitated, "But there were many uncontrollable factors that contributed to the failure of that film!"

Yu Heng stroked the script cover and slowly said, "Director Guo, I really appreciate this script. If you can prove to me that you have the ability to overcome the previous problems, I can consider supporting you to continue directing this film."

Guo Mao's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "President Yu, I will definitely not let you down this time. The previous movie failed mainly because the budget exceeded the budget, which led to rushed post-production. But for this script, I have planned every single expense, and there is absolutely no possibility of exceeding the budget."

Yu Heng listened quietly, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I can personally invest in this project, but there's a condition."

Guo Mao's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "President Yu, you said it, as long as I can do it."

"I want to designate the lead actor for this movie." The male lead is a college student, and although there are romantic elements, they are not related to the main character.

Guo Mao's heart tightened; after all, the lead actor was crucial to a film. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mr. Yu, who would you like to appoint?"

"Chu Anlan." Yu Heng said, afraid that Guo Mao wouldn't recognize her, and even took out his phone to find a picture of Chu Anlan.

He took out his phone and looked through it before realizing that he hadn't taken any photos of Chu Anlan.

He had no choice but to search for Chu Anlan's pictures online and show them to Guo Mao.

After all, her boyfriend wasn't a very famous celebrity, and currently he was only involved in television dramas. He was worried that Guo Mao wouldn't recognize him.

"His acting skills are quite good. He has played the young master in 'The Swordsman' and the guard Lu Xin in 'September'..." Yu Heng introduced all of Chu Anlan's more famous roles.

In fact, Guo Mao really knew Chu Anlan. As a famous director, his hobby was not reading world classics or burning incense and brewing tea, but watching melodramatic dramas to pass the time.

However, seeing that President Yu had shown him a photo with a serious expression, Guo Mao looked at it carefully before saying, "I know him. Among the younger generation of actors, his acting skills are quite good."

It's actually quite acceptable. At worst, he can give it some more pointers on set, and his leading role will be just as good.

Furthermore, the fact that Mr. Yu could speak directly suggests that their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

He doesn't lack actors who want to join his production team; he only lacks investment. With President Yu as a powerful figure, what does it matter if he's the male lead? It's not like he hasn't encountered actors with absolutely no acting skills before.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, Chu Anlan's appearance and age are similar to the character, which is indeed very suitable.

"So, Director Guo, what is your intended funding amount?" Seeing that Guo Mao had agreed to his request, he should now inquire about Guo Mao's terms.

Guo Mao was beaming with excitement, rubbing his hands together incessantly: "We currently have 60 million, including my own, so we're still short about 300 million, no, about 200 million!"

Guo Mao initially wanted to say he was short 300 million, but fearing he might scare away potential investors, he reluctantly lowered the price.

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "I can invest 500 million yuan in you."

"Five, five hundred million?!" Guo Mao's eyes widened instantly, and his voice became shrill with excitement.

“Yes, but at least 50% of it needs to be used for special effects, set construction, and prop making.” Yu Heng thought of the task and decided to get rid of it all at once.

"I hope Director Guo will produce a masterpiece, so that we can lay the foundation for our next collaboration. I don't want my money to go to waste," Yu Heng said meaningfully.

"Don't worry, I will definitely create a more detailed shooting plan, and then I will let you take a look at it!" Guo Mao excitedly poured tea for Yu Heng, then took the script and solemnly assured Yu Heng.

Yu Heng was actually not too concerned; his main concern was that if Chu Anlan messed up her first leading role in a movie, it would have a significant impact on his career.

Xiao Gao went to see Guo Mao off, and Yu Heng took out his phone and entered Chu Anlan's fan club group.

He briefly appeared in the group when he first joined, but then set it to "Do Not Disturb" and hasn't logged in since.

[Beautiful photos of Lanlan, save these pictures!]

[Damn it, the resources for "Detective Club" originally belonged to Lanlan, but Bai Yuankai stole them!]

[Sigh, well, Lanlan is injured now.]

[My heart aches so much. I felt so much pain from a light fall last time, and Lanlan even broke a bone. I can't imagine how much pain he must be in!]

How are the preparations for the Peach event going?

[Please include me in the event!]

[Me too!!]

……

Yu Heng first saved a bunch of Chu Anlan's beautiful photos in the group, but the more he saved, the angrier he became. He had to ask someone else for photos of his own boyfriend!

Later, I saw them discussing some kind of activity, and I couldn't help but ask, "[What activity?]"

[Wow, that works!]

[Missing Person Returns]

[Are you going to participate too?]

[It's been a long time since I've seen you comment!]

[Welcome back, missing person!!]

[This is a charity event organized by the Little Clouds.]

[This is a charity donation drive for children with special needs.]

……

After looking for a while, Yu Heng finally understood that these were Chu Anlan's fans. The Little Clouds fans saw that Chu Anlan was injured and hadn't been able to attend her events recently, so they wanted to generate buzz for Chu Anlan and organized a charity donation event for children with special illnesses.

[I won't go, but I'll donate five million, please take it to them for me] Yu Heng said in the group chat.

Wow! Xing Ge is awesome!

[Wow, is she a wealthy fan of Lanlan?]

[Brother Xing, you're so generous! We're sure this event will be a complete success!]

Wow, Brother Xing is really rich!

[Great! The total amount raised from this event has reached over eight million!]

[You can have a big celebration!]

[Brother Xing is awesome! So cool!!]
