As the Captain and head of Happy Mahua, Zhang Chen had a deeper understanding of the entertainment industry than most.
He knew that aside from those big stars with independent studios backed by capital, most other celebrities were signed under a Film Production Company or an Agency.
Even many studios established by stars were often affiliated with a Film Company. In an industry like this, without a reliable background, there was little chance for development.
The term "contract" might sound harsh, but if you didn't sign this contract, there were plenty of others eager to do so. Many who harbored dreams of stardom were unaware of how few actually got the chance to sign such contracts.
This signing required acknowledgment of your potential from the Film Company; otherwise, it was futile to even think about it.
Sure enough, after Zhang Chen explained this, everyone felt considerably relieved.
“Boss, are we signing or not?” Charlotte asked on behalf of the group.
Zhang Chen lightly tapped his fingers on the desk and replied solemnly, “My thought is that we can sign this contract. Even if it’s a bit harsh, it’s still a shortcut for us to enter the film and television world. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we’ll get another chance.”
“Boss, then I’ll sign!”
“I’ll sign too!”
“…”
The others weren’t foolish; after weighing the pros and cons, they all agreed.
Zhang Chen smiled at their response. “Alright, I’ll contact them right away. Their headquarters is also in the capital, so we won’t have to go through too much trouble.”
…
After receiving Zhang Chen's call, Li Hong wasn’t surprised. He had already guessed that Happy Mahua would agree to his proposal.
After arranging for Charlie to represent them in signing the artist contract with the Happy Mahua Team, Li Hong temporarily set aside matters regarding the director.
Wu Jin, Wang Yu, Happy Mahua Team...
These were the three directors that Li Hong had temporarily settled on. Originally, Li Hong had planned to recruit four, but he had given up on that idea. After all, the Happy Mahua Team could easily handle the workload of several people, and the current lineup of directors was already sufficient for their needs.
Adding more directors would only make Sweet Potato Films seem a bit bloated.
As for the remaining crew members, Li Hong handed everything over to Charlie. Such recruitment was best left to professionals; he just needed to provide a set of requirements.
For now, matters at Sweet Potato Films had reached a temporary conclusion.
Li Hong left the twelfth floor and headed to the Thirteenth Floor, intending to inquire about the progress of the sale of the company.
The financial clearing officer from Penguin Group had already arrived at the company and was busy calculating the overall assets and financial statements.
When Li Hong encountered Mark in the stairwell, he asked about the current progress.
"Boss, it seems that they are not very agreeable to our idea of separating the server units," Mark said with a shrug.
Li Hong furrowed his brows in displeasure and asked, "What do they want? I had already proposed separating those server units as assets long ago. Why are they suddenly disagreeing now?"
"Boss, it seems that they currently cannot spare suitable server units. So once we withdraw our servers, Goddess Alliance will be left inoperable," Mark explained.
"Huh? That's their problem; it has nothing to do with us. Mark, tell them that the servers belong to us; this was agreed upon beforehand. If they can't spare any idle servers, that's their issue, not ours."
"Understood, I will let them know," Mark nodded.
After settling these matters, Li Hong walked further into the company while asking Mark, "How is PUBG coming along? When can we expect a concept version?"
"In just a couple of days, we've already created a rough model; it just needs some rendering to be completed," Mark replied confidently.
"That's good. How is the progress on the Virtual Helmet?" Li Hong inquired.
This was the key point; if it couldn't be perfectly integrated into the Virtual Helmet, then there would be no reason for this project to exist.
Mark understood the importance of this matter and quickly explained, "Boss, don't worry. We are working overtime to expedite this. Once the Virtual Helmet is launched, we can start the public testing for the PUBG Virtual Reality Edition."
"Make it quick. We're in a race against time to launch a surprise attack. If we miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, there won't be another chance like this," Li Hong advised.
Mark nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then, Mark hesitantly said, "Boss, actually, if we want to speed things up, it's not impossible. However, we currently have too few platforms available for loading. There’s only one Virtual Helmet right now, and that's simply not enough."
"I see..."
Li Hong pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't rush it for now. I'll have someone expedite a batch of supplies for you."
After that, the two entered the internal area of the company.
Inside, the atmosphere was far from the usual orderliness; instead, it appeared quite chaotic and messy.
Designers with messy hair were arguing loudly at their workstations.
The sound of rapid keyboard typing echoed from the computers on the desks.
However, these individuals were not working on Goddess Alliance; they were focused on the tabletop control program within the Virtual Helmet.
In fact, the update program for Goddess Alliance had already been halted. The operations had been taken over by Penguin Group. The core management program and database of Goddess Alliance had long been handed over to Penguin Group by this side.
Originally, according to Li Hong's intention, even if they were going to sell the company, they still needed to maintain their last post. At least they had to handle the updates and data adjustments for the next version.
However, what was unexpected was that Penguin had clearly rejected Fist's goodwill. According to their rules, the Goddess Alliance would no longer have any connection with them, and to prevent core data from leaking, they would take over the upcoming version.
Thus, Li Hong's good intentions were promptly turned down by Penguin before he could even express them.
Well, since they looked down on him and suspected that he and his team had ulterior motives, Li Hong couldn't be bothered to do anything further.
Originally, he felt guilty for having tricked Ma Ge, especially since after the Virtual Helmet was released, the Goddess Alliance that Ma Ge had purchased at a high price would soon be obsolete.
In terms of both reason and sentiment, Li Hong thought this was somewhat ungrateful. Therefore, he decided to let Mark and the others release the remaining update content as compensation to Penguin Group. Unexpectedly, the other side guarded against them like thieves, which left Li Hong feeling quite hurt!
Well then, since Penguin didn't need his goodwill, Li Hong wouldn't embarrass himself by pushing forward.
Because of this, Fist had long since stopped caring about the Goddess Alliance and was just waiting for the handover to be completed before completely withdrawing from there.
By that time, it seemed that even the name Fist Game would belong to someone else.
