"He looks so much like him!"
Wang Shu exclaimed, looking at the person before him who called himself Wang Baobao. They hadn't expected to meet someone in a parallel world who resembled that billionaire actor Baoqiang from Earth so closely.
"Like who? Brother, I'm asking you how to get to the TV station, do you know or not?"
Wang Baobao felt a bit creeped out by Wang Shu's stare and asked with confusion.
"I know, but it's the weekend today, and the TV station isn't open. Besides, if you want to film a TV series, going to the TV station is useless!"
Wang Shu told Wang Baobao.
"Then where should I go? You don't know, last time I specifically went to Shaolin Temple and stayed for a few years to film a TV series, but for years no one looked for me to act. Only then did I hear that to film a TV series, you need to go to the TV station!"
Wang Baobao looked at Wang Shu in confusion and said.
"Just listen to me. I happen to have a few scripts recently, and I think you'd be perfect for the male lead!"
Wang Shu said, patting Wang Baobao's shoulder directly.
Although he had no people and no money at the moment, he did have a suitable script for Wang Baobao to film.
That would be the highest-rated military drama "Soldiers Sortie," which needed an actor like Wang Baobao to play the lead.
"Really? Are you kidding me?"
Upon hearing that he would be the protagonist, Wang Baobao was very excited. He had heard that most people who acted could only play supporting roles.
If he could play the lead right away, how much face would he have when he returned to his village!
"How about this, I'll find you a place to stay first, then I'll bring the script to you tomorrow. If you want to act, I'll arrange for filming to start directly!"
Wang Shu said to Wang Baobao with a serious expression.
"Okay, that sounds great. What's your name, brother?"
Wang Baobao was already very excited hearing that he could see the script tomorrow and start filming in a few days.
"My name is Wang Shu!"
Wang Shu introduced himself.
After they had eaten, Wang Shu took Wang Baobao to find a place to stay, and even gritted his teeth and paid for the hotel room out of his own pocket.
"You rest here well, I'll come find you tomorrow!"
After arranging Wang Baobao's accommodation, Wang Shu returned to his hotel.
Then, he used a memory pill to recall the entire plot of "Soldiers Sortie" and subsequently wrote it into a script.
Since "Soldiers Sortie" had a total of thirty episodes, it was unrealistic for Wang Shu to write the entire plot in one afternoon.
Therefore, he only wrote the overall plot synopsis, character settings, and the first two episodes.
After that, he called Gong Tao.
He thought that although Gong Tao was a variety show director, having worked at Hunan TV for so long, he should have some connections in the film and television industry.
When the call connected, Gong Tao listened to Wang Shu's idea but didn't find it very reliable.
He knew about Wang Shu's talent, but that was only in music. Suddenly, this guy was telling him he planned to film a TV series, and a military-themed one at that.
Immediately, he felt that this was not very reliable. After all, Wang Shu was just a young man in his twenties, impulsive and prone to sudden decisions, which he could understand.
"I'll keep an eye on this matter for you, but the chances are slim. After all, the audience for military-themed productions is still too small, and no one is willing to invest."
Gong Tao replied perfunctorily.
Wang Shu naturally heard the perfunctory tone in Gong Tao's reply and hung up the phone directly.
Since Gong Tao didn't agree with his idea, he wouldn't help him.
Therefore, he had to find another way.
However, there were two main things he needed to do: secure investment and find a director!
So, he called He Yue next.
"What's up? Did you finally remember to call me?"
When the call was connected, He Yue said with a smile.
"I have something to ask the Heavenly Queen, don't I? How much has that song of ours earned now?"
Wang Shu also asked with a smile.
"Look at you, such a moneygrubber. I knew you were calling about this. Let's just say, the total sales of this song have now exceeded five million! You've hit the jackpot this time!"
He Yue replied with a smile.
"Then you've also earned quite a bit, Sister He. I wanted to ask you, do you have any plans to invest in a TV series?"
Wang Shu tentatively asked on the phone.
"A TV series?"
Upon hearing Wang Shu's words, He Yue couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why would Wang Shu suddenly ask her this question?
"Yes, I have an amazing script and an amazing actor. Now, all I need is money!"
Wang Shu said directly.
"You're treating me like a pushover, aren't you? It's not easy for sister to earn money by singing so hard, I wouldn't be easily fooled by you."
He Yue finally understood what Wang Shu meant when she heard his words.
"How much would this series of yours require for investment?"
He Yue continued to ask curiously, as she actually had some spare money on hand.
"Conservatively, about twenty to thirty million!"
Wang Shu thought for a moment and said. The production cost of the "Soldiers Sortie" from Earth was about thirty million.
"Good heavens, you really have a nerve to ask for so much! The funds I can mobilize now are only about five million. If you don't mind it being a small amount, consider it an investment from me!"
He Yue said directly.
She understood this young man Wang Shu's talent. Five million was not a small amount to her, but it wasn't a huge sum either. If Wang Shu really managed to achieve something, she could also benefit.
Of course, what gave He Yue such confidence in Wang Shu was the song "Love for Sale" that had been released a few days ago.
This song had soared to the top of the paid download charts on the second day of its release and still held its position firmly to this day.
Conservatively estimated, the revenue generated by this song alone would exceed five million.
"Thank you, Sister He, you're truly my benefactor! By the way, do you know any other rich women who are as beautiful and wealthy as you?"
Seeing that He Yue was willing to give five million, Wang Shu couldn't help but tentatively ask He Yue again.
"Do you think everyone is like me? I think you should go find other fools!"
He Yue couldn't help but laugh and scold him. This kid Wang Shu was too much. She had already invested five million, and he still wanted her to help him find others. This little scheme of his was too clever.
"Alright, I understand what you mean. You want me to find Brother Feng, right? I'll call Brother Feng right now!"
Wang Shu directly hung up the phone.
Then, he called Qin Feng.
After listening to Wang Shu's idea, Qin Feng expressed his great interest in Wang Shu's project and even invited him for a face-to-face meeting the next day.
