Chinese entertainment: Top stars start with group broadcasts

Chapter 108 A Business Transaction with a Return on Investment of 2.53

"Click!"

"This one is approved."

"Change clothes."

Liu Qing called out.

The on-site personnel quickly adjusted the camera positions.

Shen Mo and the other person sat up and began to adjust their clothes.

"Yu Ying, pull your strapless top down a bit, it's showing."

"His shoulders and collarbones are completely exposed."

"Keep your back against me, Shen Mo, hold me tighter."

……

It must be said that Liu Qing, who comes from a family of directors, has a cinematic language that far surpasses that of those messy short drama directors. Her handling of camera movement, lighting, and tone alone is far superior.

Yu Ying initially intended to suppress Shen Mo; she had no ill intentions, it was purely a professional habit.

However, as filming progressed, Yu Ying became increasingly anxious.

With acting skills like that, why is she acting in short dramas?

Wouldn't it be better to work on long-running TV dramas or movies?

In several scenes, she would freeze in place after just one look from the other actor; how could she possibly continue acting like that?

Having grown up on film sets, Liu Qing immediately noticed the problem.

I immediately stopped and told him to tone it down.

He then realized the problem and consciously controlled his pace.

Sensing Shen Mo's kindness, Yu Ying also suppressed her competitive spirit and secretly stuck out her tongue.

That's why the entire crew worked at high speed throughout the day, producing more than ten episodes of the story.

"Shen Mo, where did you learn acting?"

In the dressing room, Yu Ying asked while removing her makeup.

"In books, on television."

Yu Ying's expression froze, and she looked somewhat unhappy.

"Fine, don't tell me then!"

After saying that, she actually turned her head away, looking genuinely angry, and even started removing her makeup faster.

Shen Mo was taken aback.

I felt helpless.

I can't exactly tell you that I used cheats to increase my skill points!

His makeup was simple; he removed it in a few seconds, then got up, said goodbye to a few colleagues, and left Fanxing Village first.

"Yu Ying, did you know? I heard that Shen Mo has quite a background."

"Significant background? How big can it be? Did they bring their own funding to the production?" Yu Ying chuckled lightly, unconvinced.

Bringing your own investment to join a short drama production team?

Are you out of your mind?!

Unexpectedly, no sooner had she finished speaking than Zhang Shurong, the second female lead who played her best friend in the drama, spoke up.

"You know what, it really is true that they brought their own funding to the production team."

"What!" Yu Ying was stunned.

Shen Mo doesn't seem stupid at all!

Could he really be a rich kid who came to the film and television industry to experience life?

If that's the case, she's actually quite tempted.

She had no doubt about the veracity of Zhang Shurong's information; as a professional gossip queen, she was absolutely certain that the gossip from the other party was true.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail."

Yu Ying looked on with curiosity.

"It's not accurate to say he brought his own investment to the production. In fact, he should be considered one of the producers of this show."

"I heard that he and Director Liu are both owners of Qingtian Films!"

pass!

It's completely connected.

Yu Ying understood immediately.

Why not use the veteran actor Ke Chun instead of parachuting in a new male lead?

Why was Director Liu so polite to Shen Mo throughout the entire day of filming?

This politeness is not the director's politeness towards the actors, but a genuine expression of equality.

Yu Ying's mind immediately started working.

A highly skilled actor who is also the owner of a film and television company.

Her abilities and resources make her a perfect match for him now!

Then, she remembered the two passionate kissing scenes from that morning, and her heart started pounding.

Now, there's only one scenario she's worried about.

"Then he and Director Liu wouldn't be...?"

Zhang Shurong gave her a knowing look, "Don't worry, it's not!"

"I've spoken with the film crew, and at least for now, they're definitely not in that kind of relationship."

"You found out so much, Zhang Shurong, you're such a scoundrel!"

"Just tell me if you're going to get it or not!"

Zhang Shurong, though exposed, showed no embarrassment and looked back with an expression that seemed perfectly natural.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Meanwhile, Shen Mo was completely unaware that he had become the target of both women's advances.

When he became a shareholder of Qingtian Film and Television, it was still far from certain. Even if he did become one, he wouldn't be the kind of resourceful boss the two women imagined.

At best, it only has a slight ability to publish on Douyin.

He was sitting in Liu Qing's car, enjoying a moment of peace after work.

"How's the data?"

Shen Mo took out his phone and entered the system he had created.

On the screen, numbers are scrolling wildly.

The one million yuan he set aside for the project has already been used up by more than 800,000 yuan in less than a day.

This rate of spending is not a small investment, even compared to iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video.

It's estimated that it can reach one million a day, which would be thirty million a month.

However, the investment is large, but the returns are even greater.

Seeing the constantly increasing numbers, starting with '2', a seven-digit number.

A 253% return.

This business is definitely worth doing!

While many of his peers were still scrambling to create content and observing the situation, he had already taken a God's-eye view and seen through the essence of the short drama industry.

What appears to be the film and television industry is actually a business with internet attributes.

Even today, many self-media outlets and even industry peers are still studying the content structure and the "satisfying moments" of "After the Breakup".

In fact, this is just a simple strategy that only requires looking at the input-output ratio.

With an investment of 100 million, you can generate 1.2 million in revenue, resulting in a return ratio of 120.

This way, the business can continue.

But if one day he invests 100 million but only receives 99, he will immediately stop investing.

Although many people say that this also depends on the quality of a short drama, right?

actually not.

Even a bad TV series can attract viewers to pay for it.

The more traffic you invest and the wider your reach, the greater the probability of finding such a fool.

"Director Liu, congratulations! You made two million in one day."

"What?!"

hiss……

The car suddenly stopped at the side of the road, and Liu Qing was still in shock.

She turned to look at him with an incredulous expression.

"You're not kidding me, are you!"

Liu Qing is someone who can enter a state of intense focus very easily.

When filming, she is completely focused on the role, but after work, she begins to worry about the success of "After the Breakup".

Even with the most optimistic mindset, she wouldn't dare to indulge in such daydreams.

"See for yourself!"

Shen Mo was also in a great mood.

Looking at Liu Qing, I found this second-generation director to be rather adorable.

"Ah! Shen Mo, you're a genius! I love you to death!"

As he spoke, he leaned in, wrapped his arms around Shen Mo's neck, and kissed him on the head.

Shen Mo's nose twitched, and a faint fragrance of the mountains and forests wafted from his lips. His tongue touched it lightly, and a hint of sweetness filled his mouth.

Liu Qing wasn't embarrassed at all by the kiss; she just stared at her phone screen in disbelief.

The recharge data above is still growing.

Correspondingly, the number of people receiving the data seems insignificant at this moment.

"How much more money do you estimate we'll need for this round?"

"As if she had made up her mind," Liu Qing asked.

"My system isn't comprehensive yet. I expect Douyin should have the specific figures out by now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a phone call came in.

The way Liu Qing looked at Shen Mo at this moment was not like a director looking at an actor, but like a fangirl looking at her idol.

Just as Liu Qing finished speaking, Douyin called.

Douyin, Liu Chao.

Shen Mo calmly answered the phone.

He had anticipated all of this the moment he saw the data.

After a simple "Hmm," "Okay," "OK," and "Pleasant to cooperate," Shen Mo hung up the phone.

He looked at Liu Qing with a helpless expression.

"Mr. Liu, it seems you won't be able to film for the next few days."
