How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 82 Recommending the virtuous without avoiding relatives

However, Wang Xiaohao still needs to think carefully about whether this approach will work.

Seeing that Wang Xiaohao didn't answer, Ding Binbai immediately changed the subject, jokingly saying, "Director, you're working with Zhen Liang again this time. You're not really being kept by her, are you?"

This was Wang Xiaohao's initial team, and also his friends from humble beginnings.

So the two of them can joke about anything when they're together!

Wang Xiaohao said smugly, "Pah! What do you mean by 'being kept'? I'm living off my wife through my own abilities!"

Ding Binbai said sourly, "That's true. That's Zhen Liang! Rich and beautiful. If it were me, I'd be willing to live off her too!"

Someone nearby immediately exposed Ding Binbai, saying, "You rascal, you're a groom every night now, living the high life!"

Ding Binbai couldn't keep up the act any longer and burst into laughter.

The saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Wang Xiaohao has achieved some success, and Ding Binbai, his personal photographer, is also quite famous.

Countless minor celebrities and actors wanted to use Ding Binbai to get close to Wang Xiaohao.

This guy naturally lived a very comfortable life.

In addition, his income is high, almost a million a year.

Success and wealth come naturally.

Actually, it wasn't just Ding Binbai; the situation was similar for several of Wang Xiaohao's old crew members—they were all living quite carefree lives.

Basically, in the same profession, only a few top experts earn more than them.

So they are very content!

However, at times, Zhao Liang and his colleagues still couldn't help but want to expand the company.

For example, at this moment, Zhao Liang asked, "Director, is our company still not accepting artists?"

Talent management is really lucrative!

Wang Xiaohao certainly knew that artist management was profitable.

Putting everything else aside, Wang Xiaohao earned 30 to 40 million yuan in copyright revenue from filming "Beautiful Legend" with Zhen Liang, which already made him very happy.

But what about Zhen Liang?

Because this movie became a hit at the César Awards, it immediately caught the attention of those international big names.

In the past few months alone, he has earned at least two or three hundred million yuan from various GG endorsements and other deals.

This is much better than Wang Xiaohao's hard work in making movies!

However, Wang Xiaohao had other ideas.

For him, making money was secondary when he filmed "My Love from the Star".

Most importantly, Wang Xiaohao is going to give up on his milk tea brand.

In its previous life, the TV series "My Love from the Star" popularized the combination of fried chicken and beer.

In Wang Xiaohao's film, he wants to try promoting his own milk tea.

Is snowy weather better paired with fried chicken and beer, or with milk tea?

Of course, making milk tea is just Wang Xiaohao's personal business.

Zhao Liang and his group had already told Wang Xiaohao several times that they wanted to get into the brokerage business.

At this moment, even Wang Le'an spoke up, saying, "Yes, Director, I know that none of us have any background."

You can't achieve much in the film and television industry!

However, we don't want to expand our film and television business too much, so how about signing fewer artists?

You see, it's like when we were filming "My Sassy Girl." We couldn't control the female lead, Wang Xiaoshuang, but what if the male lead was one of our own...?

Wang Xiaohao glanced at Ding Binbai, though Ding Binbai remained silent.

But silence is also an attitude.

Clearly, he only supports brokerage business.

Perhaps these people had already planned this before they came. They were just waiting to persuade Wang Xiaohao!

After all, Ding Binbai and a few others also own shares in Wang Xiaohao's director studio.

The studio earns more by engaging in brokerage business.

They'll earn even more!

Wang Xiaohao paused for a moment and then said, "If you want to get into the brokerage business, then go ahead and do it!"

But I don't have the energy to deal with it! Who among you has the energy to deal with it yourselves!

The group was overjoyed. They exchanged glances, and Ding Binbai said, "Old Zhao studied project management; let him take charge of the brokerage business!"

Wang Xiaohao thought to himself, "Sure enough, these people had planned this all along."

People have their own ideas and their own interests and needs.

Now his team has its own will, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

However, Wang Xiaohao should also make some plans and start training new talent.

We can't wait until later to find ourselves bound by the will of our subordinates.

So Wang Xiaohao pondered for a moment and said, "Old Zhao is in charge of the overall management of the film crew and is extremely busy. He also has to handle the talent agency business. Will he be able to manage it all?"

Old Zhao, if you really want to get into brokerage business...

Then you'll need to train a few assistants to manage the film crew for you!

Zhao Liang hesitated for a moment, then decided that he was more interested in economic business and felt that it had a brighter future. So he said, "No problem!"

Actually, my two assistants have learned quite well.

The crew gave them hands-on experience during filming to help them grow quickly.

Actually, I think the production coordination is quite simple!

Everyone found it both funny and absurd.

There are many and varied things to do on a film set, with dozens or even hundreds of people gathered together. This is the head manager of the entire crew!

In other words, Zhao Liang studied project management and later worked in construction management, honing his skills in the process.

He quickly got the hang of the overall management of the production crew.

With Zhao Liang around, Wang Xiaohao was saved a lot of trouble. Otherwise, all sorts of messy things would have ended up on Wang Xiaohao's shoulders!

Many film crews don't have such a head butler, so the director has to do everything himself, which can exhaust the director!

To be honest, Wang Xiaohao wasn't sure if there was a profession called film and television project management in his previous life.

However, in his current parallel world, this major simply does not exist.

In other words, this kind of talent is the most scarce resource in China!

Otherwise, how could Wang Xiaohao have made Zhao Liang a core member and paid him a high salary?

Now that Zhao Liang has expressed this opinion, Wang Xiaohao can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Zhao Liang then said, "Director, have you considered casting one of our own in the male lead role for our new film?"

There's no doubt that Zhen Liang will be the female lead in "My Love from the Star," but who will be the male lead?

Wang Xiaohao hadn't thought it through at all.

I didn't care before.

However, Yuehai Company requested to use their own artists.

Wang Xiaohao verbally agreed, but stipulated that he would only use the product if the image matched the requirements.

Now that Zhao Liang had suddenly brought up this question, Wang Xiaohao immediately frowned: "You already have someone in mind?"

Zhao Liang laughed and said, "We don't shy away from recommending people based on their connections. Do you remember Wu Yu, the apprentice in our company's lighting department?"

Although Zhao Liang calls it a company, it's actually just a studio.

There are only a dozen or so people in the entire studio, how could Wang Xiaohao not remember them all?
