Chapter 549 Others invest, he receives an award.
Good guy!
This is hardly a list of investment recommendations.
This is clearly a living, breathing "Investiture of the Gods" about the fate of the entertainment empire over the next decade!
A wealth code outlined by the pen of a prophet!
In the "Potential Hit Projects Pool for TV Series/Web Series" section, the following are prominently listed:
The Journey of Flower (a pioneering work of fantasy romance)
Nirvana in Fire (the pinnacle of political intrigue dramas, a phenomenal success)
Ode to Joy (a pioneering work depicting a group of urban women)
Love O2O (E-sports Romance Ignites a Trend)
In the Name of the People (the king of anti-corruption dramas, a hot topic of discussion among the public)
Joy of Life (A new benchmark for male-oriented political intrigue comedies)
......
A dozen or twenty names, each of them will dominate the screen in the years to come, break viewership records, become cultural icons discussed on the streets, and bring billions of dollars in amazing returns to the capital behind them!
The pool of high-stakes betting projects in the [movie] sector is equally alarming:
Monster Hunt (which ushered in the era of domestic fantasy visual effects blockbusters)
Goodbye Mr. Loser (A low-budget comedy's underdog success story)
The Mermaid (Stephen Chow's signature film)
Wolf Warrior 2 (A revolutionary breakthrough in mainstream commercial films)
"Dying to Survive" (A realistic film that achieved both box office and critical acclaim)
......
Any one of them, taken out of context, could be a terrifying force that could rake in billions at the box office, make investors rich beyond belief, and bring them both fame and fortune!
What made Ye Fan feel a slight tingling on his scalp and a shiver run down his spine was the last section, the forward-looking layout of "Anime IP Incubation".
Gu Yuejia not only keeps track of the animation adaptation trends of top online novel IPs such as "Douluo Continent" and "Battle Through the Heavens",
Even the red-haired monster's three-part series, *Covering the Sky*, *Perfect World*, and *Sacred Ruins*,...
She meticulously uncovered and organized the prototypes or copyright holders of dozens of "masterpieces" that will ignite a Chinese animation boom and build a massive fan universe, including works such as "Swallowed Star," "Against the Gods," and "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality." She also provided detailed information on their copyright status, production team assessments, and analysis of the best time to enter the market.
Every name listed here is one that Ye Fan, before his rebirth, spent countless nights passionately following the story!
Gu Yuejia stood quietly beside Ye Fan, her keen eyesight like that of a cheetah capturing the fleeting yet incredibly real shock in his eyes.
Seeing her usually unfathomable boss, who seemed to have everything under control, engrossed in looking at the list, a touching smile, a mixture of pride and sweetness, appeared on her lips.
The fact that this man could produce such an expression was enough to prove that her tireless efforts and use of all her connections over the past few days had not been in vain, and that she had truly amazed him.
Gu Yuejia cleared her throat and began to explain in a professional and clear tone, her voice like a clear spring striking a stone:
"Mr. Ye, the projects on this list are 'seed' projects that I have compiled by using all the top connections I have accumulated in the investment and entertainment industries, combined with big data screening and cross-verification of industry intelligence. These projects are currently in preparation, have been approved but have not yet received funding, or have copyrights that are about to expire, and have great potential for development."
She pointed to several items that were specially marked:
"The companies marked with an asterisk are currently seeking new investors in a very low-key manner within the industry due to tight cash flow or problems with their performance-based agreements with their original investors."
She looked intently at Ye Fan and stated her core advice:
"Personally, I believe that our first major investment should be injected swiftly and decisively into a high-quality project that is most in need of funding and is at a critical stage in the early stages of production."
"This will not only allow us to acquire the largest share of rights at the lowest cost, but also establish our image as a top player in the industry—characterized by shrewd insight, decisive decision-making, and substantial financial resources—achieving true instant fame!"
As Ye Fan quickly flipped through the heavy document, he mentally gave Gu Yuejia a thousand thumbs up for her professional skills, intelligence network, and sharp insight!
This woman is simply a business genius born for entertainment investment!
After years of development, the film and television industry no longer holds many secrets of "information asymmetry" in the eyes of top-tier capital.
Whether a drama can become a hit depends on the maturity of the script, the main creative team, the production budget, and the publicity strategy. Everyone generally has their own criteria. Hoping to "pick up" a dark horse that no one recognizes every day like winning the lottery is extremely unlikely.
Similarly, there are many instances of "big-budget" productions that pile up exorbitant salaries and star power, seemingly guaranteed to make a profit, only to end up with a double collapse in both box office and critical reception.
Nothing is absolute; risks and opportunities coexist.
This is why the "high-quality seeds" with the potential to become hits that Gu Yuejia has identified have long been eyed by traditional internet giants and established film and television companies with greedy eyes, and have been added to their respective "hunting lists".
The business world is like a battlefield, and good projects are scarce "fat pieces of meat".
Traditional giants not only want to consume, but also want to monopolize the upstream and downstream industries and build a moat.
Is a new player trying to cut in and take a piece of the pie from them?
They won't even let you to the negotiating table; they'll shut you out using capital, connections, and industry rules.
Therefore, the world is never short of good project ideas; what it lacks is the means, courage, and ability to forcefully take the meat from the mouths of these "local tyrants" who have been entrenched for many years, or even snatch it away!
Ye Fan slowly closed the folder.
He leaned back in his wide chair, his gaze first meeting Gu Yuejia's beautiful eyes, which were full of expectation and confidence, and then slowly sweeping over Tang Huai'an and the others who were sitting upright in the conference room, unaware of the true significance of this list.
This situation might be an insurmountable barrier for other types of capital.
But before Ye Fan—a "prophet" whose mind clearly etched the correct answer to the future of entertainment history for the next few years—
This has become a playground tailor-made for him, a place where he can launch devastating attacks!
Those traditional giants are still relying on limited data, past experience, and team judgment to gamble on an uncertain future. They may hesitate because of doubts about box office performance, or back down because of harsh performance-based agreements.
But Ye Fan wouldn't!
He knew all too well which name on the list was destined to be a "money-devouring behemoth" that would sweep everything away, and which project could bring exponential growth in traffic and brand value!
Every decision he makes is not a gamble, but rather... a way to claim a reward!
