Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 361 - 333: Zhao’s Parents Binge-Watching Dramas

Chapter 361: Chapter 333: Zhao’s Parents Binge-Watching Dramas

"This..."

Upon hearing what Luo Ji said, Zhao Heng felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through his mind. The actress Luo Ji mentioned, honestly speaking, was the dream girl of Zhao Heng’s generation when he was in school. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

But now, she’s playing around with young hunks?

Wang Yaoqing and Shu Xin exchanged glances, truth be told, hearing such juicy gossip firsthand feels quite different than reading about it online.

"Does she have a lot of screen time?"

Zhao Heng couldn’t help but ask Luo Ji.

Looking at the elder’s frustrated face, Zhao Heng somewhat understood. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sending a message to a young acquaintance he knew only for two or three days in the middle of the night.

But it’s not surprising, Luo Ji’s circle doesn’t have many people who he could discuss this matter with. Even if he did, it would only be the same old talk from inside his circle, which lacks any real interest.

"She’s the leading actress..."

The director, Elder Luo Ji, said helplessly.

To be honest, this is what you’d call an "act of God" in the entertainment industry, nothing to do with the Luo Family. So the investors understood, if it failed, it failed. Given Luo Ji’s status in the industry, investments in him won’t decline in the future.

However, the elder spent half a year’s time and effort on this drama, and for it to just crash like this, it’s certainly quite frustrating.

"Bro, it seems like making TV dramas is as risky as performing surgeries for us."

Zhao Heng said with some emotion.

Of course, the entertainment industry makes money much faster than being a doctor, they’re simply not on the same level.

"Of course, everyone now thinks we in the entertainment industry make money quickly. I admit it is fast, but you can’t just see the thieves eating meat without seeing them getting beaten too. Just like this time, luckily I, Old Luo, have some reputation in the industry, otherwise if it were some young directors, they’d be out for at least ten years."

Luo Ji also said with some sighs.

"Ahem, the actress you’re talking about is actually quite famous as an intermediary in our business world."

Seeing Zhao Heng and Luo Ji chatting enthusiastically, Wang Yaoqing couldn’t resist joining in.

"Uncle, by intermediary, do you mean the kind I’m thinking of? Didn’t expect you were into that..."

Shu Xin heard Wang Yaoqing’s words and rolled her eyes at him.

"The way you say it, maybe it’s better these years, but back in the day when doing business, let’s say in North City, if you didn’t go to Tian Shang Ren Jian for some drinks, there was no way to talk about business."

Wang Yaoqing said.

"Of course, when I went there, it was just to accompany for some drinks."

Wang Yaoqing explained again, with his niece right nearby.

"Didn’t expect you knew about this too."

Luo Ji looked at Wang Yaoqing with a face full of surprise.

Wang Yaoqing was quite tactful with his words; it’s essentially being a madam.

But even as a madam, they serve only the wealthy.

After all, gold and diamond-encrusted services aren’t for the average person.

"Director Luo, how much was invested in this drama?"

As a businessman, Wang Yaoqing was more concerned about investments than gossip.

"The investment in this drama isn’t too big, just around twenty million, most of it used for hiring actors."

Luo Ji said quite cheerfully; everyone present was an outsider, so he could speak frankly. Of course, when promoting it to the public or media, they would say it’s double.

For some film-makers, they might even go for "super doubling"!

"What could be the final revenue from a twenty million investment?"

Wang Yaoqing asked with keen interest. After all, the medical software he collaborated on with Zhao Heng was already the most profitable and promising project he had handled.

If done well, the final earnings can reach over ten million a year, that’s for sure.

"If it does okay, it can double, if it does great, that’s hard to say."

Luo Ji replied.

"What if it doesn’t do well at all?"

Shu Xin asked out of curiosity.

"If the promotion is on point, it can still make moderate success."

Luo Ji responded.

Given his industry status, it’s impossible for it to flop entirely; just that hitting big fame is difficult.

After all, as long as the promotion is good, the leads aren’t wooden actors, and the director shows some sincerity, there will be people watching.

Nowadays, audiences have very low aesthetic standards; as long as you don’t serve them nonsense, they’re willing to pay, since otherwise they’re idle.

"Entertainment really does have great profits."

Upon hearing Luo Ji’s words, Wang Yaoqing knew that a director of Luo Ji’s status doesn’t even worry about his film losing money, after all, shooting TV dramas always have a fixed audience.

Unlike films, where if a director tries to convey everything in a hodgepodge manner, the audience won’t accept it.

"Are you thinking of getting involved? Being acquainted with Xiao Zhao seems fair, maybe next time you can play around a bit."

Luo Ji glanced at Wang Yaoqing and knew what he meant.

Now there’s a lot of wealthy people; once they have money, they want more. The simplest way is to invest, letting money grow money.

"What does playing around a bit mean, investment-wise?"

Zhao Heng asked with great interest.

"At least five million, anything less is too little."

Luo Ji pondered for a while and said, relying on his reputation, investing in his drama for less than ten million wasn’t worth discussing, but since the person has some friendship with his old friend, it’s a different story.

Relationships are like that; maybe you haven’t known each other long, but you feel like old friends already.

"Then I’ll wait for Director Luo to guide me."

Without hesitation, Wang Yaoqing responded; with such a prominent director, many people can’t even get in touch under normal circumstances. Now, thanks to Zhao Heng, he could take the chance, so it must be seized.
