Huayu is here for you

"Pshaw! The highest box office in the world? I can't even dream of that domestically!"

After her initial surprise, Liu Yifei pouted and said:

"Hehe...Trust your senior brother. He may not be confident in other areas, but he does have some confidence in movies."

"Heh... you arrogant fool, well then... I'll wait and see?"

"Let's wait and see!"

After the Golden Rooster Awards, Ms. Liu was preparing for her trip to Japan. As expected, Huang Shengyi, who had taken Ms. Liu's Best Newcomer Award, broke up with Stephen Chow. In this life, her feud with Stephen Chow was even more intense than Lin Yu's previous life.

I really don't know what this person was thinking. Although Stephen Chow is a bit stingy and has high demands on his artists, and his contracts are... well, never mind, I can't go on about this, but in some aspects he is still quite good.

However, this had nothing to do with Lin Yu, because Huang Bo called him again to urge him to finish the movie. The movie role they had agreed on last time still hadn't been decided. He was the top star at Starlight Media! How could he not even have a single representative work?

So Lin Yu, who hadn't been to the company for a long time, made an unprecedented trip today.

Lin Yu arrived at the company and, seeing how the company was becoming increasingly professional, silently thanked Xiao Ou. Without her, Xingguang would probably really have failed.

"Boss! This is the company's latest profit and loss statement, as well as the company's various expenses and personnel recruitment and transfer information."

Dressed smartly, Xiao Ou respectfully handed the documents to Lin Yu, the boss who had visited the company less often than she had.

However, she didn't have any complaints in her heart. After all, Lin Yu had helped her and Huang Bo a lot. First, she went from an unknown ordinary person to the general manager of a well-known company in the entertainment industry.

Then there's Huang Bo. Although he doesn't get many offers to act now, at least he's now being sought after by others instead of having to work himself to the bone to find work.

Not to mention that Lin Yu has a very good personality, so in addition to helping Lin Yu manage the company, she is also studying and growing like crazy, for fear that she is not good enough for her position and will delay Lin Yu's affairs.

"Sister Ou, thank you so much," Lin Yu said, flipping through the documents in her hand.

"Of course, Mr. Lin."

"Hehe... I really didn't expect it, Sister Ou. You're quite talented in management. You manage the company very well; I feel very reassured with you here. By the way, what about your husband?"

"Hehe... Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lin. It seems that Bozi has recently taken on a new film, but... it's just that the investment in this movie is a bit low. Only three million, and it was Andy Lau who invested in it."

"Andy Lau? Oh... I remember now, Andy Lau's project about becoming a rising star director in Asia?"

"Yes, but when Ning Hao found Andy Lau, Andy Lau only had three million left. Oh right, Ning Hao is the director of the new movie that Bozi got the role in."

"Oh, I see... Sister Ou, how much money do we have in our company's account?" Lin Yu suddenly asked after thinking for a moment.

"About eighteen million."

"So much? Where did this money come from?"

"The box office revenue sharing for 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' has come through. Wanda directly transferred 15 million yuan to the company. To put it bluntly, consider it a bonus for the boss. Add to that other copyright and other related funds, and that's about the total."

Lin Yu: "??? Hehe! You all like to round things up, don't you?"

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, Sister Ou. Just tell Brother Bo that I'll invest in his movie, since it's still short a certain amount."

Xiao Ou narrowed her eyes: "Boss, let's not go for it. I've read that movie script, and it doesn't seem like it'll make money!"

"Then take some time to talk to Brother Bo and ask Ning Hao to send the script to my email. I'll read it and then we'll talk."

"Okay, I'll go tell him later. But boss, I want to ask you something... Doesn't your company handle artists?" Xiao Ou suddenly seemed a little hesitant.

Lin Yu looked at Xiao Ou with some surprise. "Why do you ask that?"

"Wang Jinghua contacted us, saying that if you, boss, are interested, she can cooperate with us," Xiao Ou said excitedly.

Lin Yu looked at Xiao Ou's somewhat excited expression. He completely understood her feelings. The name Wang Jinghua carried considerable weight in the entertainment industry these days. Just a few days ago, she had a falling out with Huayi Brothers, and Lin Yu had assumed she had already established some kind of "18th Company." He hadn't expected this powerful figure to actually take notice of him. Was it simply because he had noticed two of her capable assistants during the filming of "The Martian"?

However, he hasn't decided yet whether or not to get involved in the artist business. Although the production industry and artists are in opposition, once the domestic entertainment industry develops, the profits from artists will be quite considerable.

So Lin Yu also began to hesitate, wondering whether he should try to make a quick buck from traffic.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he gave up. After all, this life is different from the previous one. The control over actors in China is quite strict. Maybe those random young idols will never have a chance to make it in the future!

Besides, signing Huang Bo was just a spur-of-the-moment decision; he didn't have any long-term plans at all, so…

"Let's forget about it, Sister Ou. At Starlight, we focus on the work itself; we'd rather not sign any more artists," Lin Yu said after thinking it over.

"Okay, I understand," Xiao Ou said with some regret.

She clearly didn't understand why Lin Yu had given up on collaborating with Wang Jinghua. However, since Starlight was Lin Yu's company, she wouldn't interfere with Lin Yu's choice.

After spending most of the day at the company, Lin Yu couldn't stand the loneliness and "left work" early.

After returning home, he turned on his newly replaced TV and planned to watch some dramas.

There were quite a few good dramas released in 2005, such as "The Emperor Wu of Han", "The World's Number One", and "Bright Sword". These classic TV series were broadcast all at the same time this year, which can be described as a battle of the gods. Not to mention Liu Yifei's "Chinese Paladin".

This drama was repeatedly rebroadcast by major TV stations, and its ratings remained high. Although it was not broadcast on satellite TV, it greatly boosted Ms. Liu's fame.

Furthermore, the mythological TV series "Lotus Lantern," which Lin Yu loved to watch in his previous life, will soon be broadcast on CCTV.

The lively and adorable little fox Changchang, the gentle and beautiful Chang'e Yan Danchen, and the bewildering Jiao Erye—each and every character is a classic, making it impossible to put down.

Lin Yu, who finally had some free time, planned to relax for a few days. During the day, he would go out for a stroll or stay at home playing games. In the evening, he would talk to Miss Liu about his longing for her. He was living a very comfortable life.
