Huayu: Film and Television Simulation Space

Chapter 54 Ambition and Goals

After the celebration banquet, Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian went to Jing Tian's residence.

After being apart for more than half a month, it was truly a case of heaven and earth colliding.

The two of them lay in the bathtub taking a bath until the lightning disappeared and the fire on the ground went out.

Jing Tiandao said, "With 'Lost in Thailand' achieving such high box office numbers, breaking 'Titanic's' box office record is a foregone conclusion. You've probably received a substantial share of the profits. Now you have a luxury house and a luxury car. Should you use the money to develop your company, or buy more houses as investments?"

"Or is it an investment product?" Jing Tian was somewhat shocked when he calculated the returns from "Lost in Thailand".

"Lost in Thailand" could bring Gu Qingshan hundreds of millions in revenue.

It can be said that Gu Qingshan became a billionaire overnight with just one movie, "Lost in Thailand".

And it's hundreds of millions in cash!

Gu Qingshan curled his lip and said, "Only a fool would invest in financial products. The interest they offer doesn't even keep up with the rate at which money depreciates."

"I don't plan to buy a house. I have enough to live in. At most, I'll buy some properties in places like Huairou Film City and Hengdian for convenient accommodation when filming," Gu Qingshan said.

The holidays in these places aren't expensive, so they don't cost much.

The main reason is for convenience and safety when filming in the future!

Hotels are convenient, but they are not safe enough.

Jing Tiandao asked, "So you're going to use the money for company development? Do you really want to develop the company into a media group like Huayi?"

Jing Tian couldn't even imagine how much development could be brought about by investing hundreds of millions of yuan in the company's development.

"I plan to acquire Poly Huayi." Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment before mentioning this to Jing Tian for the first time.

This was something he had been planning in his mind. If he relied solely on Qingshan Film and Television to develop step by step, it would take at least five or six years to develop into a giant.

Moreover, they still cannot own cinema chains. Developing a cinema chain is not easy. Look at the cinema chains that have truly risen to prominence; only Wanda truly started from scratch.

But Wanda is a real estate company with skyscrapers and Wanda Plazas all over the country, so setting up a cinema chain would be a piece of cake for them.

Jing Tian was stunned. She never expected that Gu Qingshan would actually set his sights on Poly Huayi.

This is a media giant!

Poly Huayi is a large media company under Poly Group, jointly established by Poly Culture and Huayi Media (formerly Peking University Huayi). It has participated in the investment and development of works such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Emperor and the Assassin".

Jing Tianyu placed her hand on Gu Qingshan's forehead.

"What?" Gu Qingshan asked, puzzled.

Jing Tian said, "Are you running a fever? You even dare to set your sights on Poly Huayi! That's a giant, much larger than Huayi, worth at least 10 billion. Do you have that much money?!"

"Hehe, Bona has already separated from Poly, Poly Huayi isn't that valuable anymore." Gu Qingshan chuckled. "Do you have any connections to get in touch with the Poly Group?"

Jing Tian hesitated for a moment, "We should be able to find connections, but do you have that much money? Poly Group is a large state-owned enterprise. Even if you have connections, acquisitions have to follow procedures. Things are different now than before."

Gu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he could make contact, that was good enough.

If he were to rashly go to Poly Group, he probably wouldn't even be able to get through the gate.

Even if you could get in, you wouldn't be able to meet any of Poly Group's top executives.

"Poly Huayi Brothers' performance has been declining, and Poly Group has let Bona leave, so they probably aren't willing to continue in the film and television business," Gu Qingshan said. "I guess they can get it for around 3.5 million to 4 million. I'll take care of the money. We'll make two more movies and earn some money, which should be enough."

"Even if it's not quite there, we can still get a loan from the bank. I think the company can borrow a lot of money," Gu Qingshan said.

Seeing that Gu Qingshan didn't seem to be joking, Jing Tian said, "I'm going home to see my dad in a few days and will ask him if there's any connection. If there is, I'll ask him to help make the connection."

"If you don't have it, then there's nothing I can do!" Jing Tian said.

Gu Qingshan laughed and said, "Okay, if there's really no other way, I'll just have to swallow my pride and go to Poly Group. I'll have to keep pestering them and put in a lot of effort. I think I'll be able to meet with the higher-ups."

Jing Tianyu drew circles on Gu Qingshan's chest with her hand. "You have a really big heart. You even dare to hit a giant like this. If he were richer, wouldn't he be going to fly to the sky?"

Gu Qingshan is only 20 years old, just like her.

She is content with her current career and life, and the money she earns is beyond her wildest dreams. She doesn't even need to take money from her family; she has more money than she can spend.

Gu Qingshan, however, wanted to become an industry leader, and he wanted to surpass Huayi in one fell swoop.

......

After that, Gu Qingshan did not conduct any more roadshows or promotions.

Half a day is enough.

More publicity might increase box office revenue, but the increase will be limited.

Gu Qingshan spent a few days with Jing Tian, ​​allowing him to get some rest.

The roadshow and promotion lasted for more than half a month, which was quite tiring. Even if he was physically strong, he still needed to rest.

Jing Tian went home for a while and returned to the capital two days later.

The first thing I told Gu Qingshan was good news: I could make the connection.

"Really!?" Gu Qingshan couldn't help but show his delight.

Jing Tian said, "My dad was in the same class as Chairman He when he was studying at the Party School. He's going back to Beijing for National Day, and he'll arrange to have dinner with Chairman He then. I'll make the connection for you."

Gu Qingshan was somewhat surprised; it was such a coincidence.

"Did you tell your parents about our relationship?" Gu Qingshan whispered.

Jing Tian blushed slightly and rolled her eyes at Gu Qingshan. "You think my parents wouldn't know if I didn't tell them?"

"There must have been a couple hundred news reports about our story by now."

Gu Qingshan thought about it and realized it was true.

The rumors about the two have been constantly reported, but neither of them has officially announced it to the public.

"Are your parents satisfied with me as their future son-in-law?" Gu Qingshan asked cautiously.

Jing Tian blushed and said, "How would I know? We'll see how you do next."

The two went to a Sichuan hot pot restaurant, ordered a half-and-half pot, and began to eat.

When the two of them go out to eat, they usually eat hot pot. Sometimes they eat copper pot hot pot, sometimes Sichuan-style hot pot, and sometimes other flavors of hot pot.

It's not that Gu Qingshan likes spicy food, but rather that Jing Tian likes spicy food.

He couldn't understand why girls who weren't from Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, or Jiangxi liked spicy food.

For him, who doesn't eat spicy food much, it's more about companionship.

Gu Qingshan was in a good mood and tried eating spicy food, but he felt uncomfortable all over and his scalp even felt numb.

Jing Tian, ​​on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying his meal.

Gu Qingshan muttered to himself, "Now that I'm eating like crazy, I'll have to increase my exercise later."

As a female celebrity, self-discipline is very important. You have to control what you eat in order to maintain a good figure.

Gu Qingshan didn't care; he was a director, so it didn't matter if he got fat.

"Oh no, I ate so many plates of meat today." Jing Tian rubbed his full stomach, looking dejected after finishing his meal.

Gu Qingshan chuckled and said, "Weren't you enjoying your meal just now? Have some more!"

"It's all your fault, you didn't stop me!" Jing Tian rolled her eyes at Gu Qingshan.

After joking around for a while, the two left the hot pot restaurant and went for a stroll nearby to digest their food.
