Li Hong's face turned pale, and he quickly pulled Charlie aside to explain, "What the hell, don't get me into trouble. I have a family now, so don't spread rumors about me."
Charlie looked surprised and asked curiously, "Lin Ruxian?"
"How do you know?" Li Hong was puzzled; he hadn't told Charlie about this.
Charlie raised an eyebrow. "I just knew it was her. That big star suddenly insisted on signing with our company for no reason. How could I not investigate? Besides, she's going to be my future boss's wife!"
"Not future boss's wife, but my actual boss's wife. We’ve already registered our marriage," Li Hong said with a smile, pride evident in his eyes.
Charlie's jaw nearly dropped in shock. What the hell was going on?
Damn, that was fast!
With his eyelids twitching, Charlie conceded, "Boss, you're impressive. I didn't see that coming; you're quite the hidden expert to have snagged her so quickly."
"Alright, alright, enough of that. We're having the wedding soon, so make sure to come," Li Hong said, not wanting to discuss too many details in front of Charlie since there were many things that were better left unsaid.
Charlie nodded knowingly. "Got it, just let me know when."
As they walked into the office, Li Hong looked around and asked, "Give me an update on Sweet Potato Films. It's been a while since I last checked in; everything feels so unfamiliar."
Charlie smiled and replied, "Of course! Our company has expanded at least fivefold since you left. Plus, we renovated the office, so that's why it looks different. To keep it brief, during your absence, I've poached quite a few lower-level staff from Film Company and built up our foundation here at Sweet Potato Films. We now have over five hundred talented individuals in various film and television roles actively working across different productions."
"Productions?" Li Hong thought for a moment before asking, "By the way, how are the projects we invested in doing?"
"At the beginning, Director Wu Jin's Wolf Warrior was the most expensive project. So far, we've only managed to set up the crew and start filming outside. The rest of the team is making good progress; they've been shooting for a while now, but it seems there's still a long way to go before release," Charlie said, spreading his hands.
"It's alright. As long as we're on the right track, we shouldn't fear spending time. I've come to understand that cutting corners won't keep you afloat in the Entertainment Industry for long. If we want to establish ourselves in this field, these are necessary steps," Li Hong advised.
What was once just a casual toy for Li Hong has now transformed into a serious business endeavor. Approaching it as a toy versus treating it as a career reflects two entirely different attitudes.
Continuing with a carefree attitude and churning out cheap, low-quality films would likely lead to failure.
Both Charlie and Li Hong understood these principles, which is why they were dedicated to pushing Sweet Potato Films towards a more formal and structured direction.
"Because we have money and are investing in several projects each year, we've attracted quite a few down-and-out stars hoping to sign with us for greater opportunities. However, so far, they're just small fry; we haven't landed any big-name stars," Charlie said, sounding somewhat frustrated.
Li Hong chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, reassuring him, "Alright, alright. How long have we been established? Without a solid foundation and notable works to show for ourselves, expecting everyone to flock to us is just wishful thinking. What we can do now is build a strong base; once we have the phoenix tree, we'll attract the golden phoenixes."
"That's true," Charlie nodded in agreement.
The two then walked towards the significantly expanded office area, where busy figures were clearly the staff responsible for coordinating various aspects and liaising with different crews at Sweet Potato Films.
Upon their arrival, the staff noticed them immediately. Although they didn't know who the man accompanying General Manager Charlie was, they felt compelled to acknowledge his presence since Charlie was there.
"Hello, General Manager!" everyone greeted in unison.
Charlie smiled and waved his hand in acknowledgment. "Hello everyone! I'm here to introduce you to someone. This is Mr. Li Hong, our chairman at Sweet Potato Films."
"Clap, clap, clap..."
The applause rose and fell, as everyone showed respect to Li Hong, the big boss.
Only a few looked surprised, as if they felt they had seen Li Hong's face somewhere before. But after thinking carefully, they couldn't recall where they had seen him.
Once Mark led Li Hong away, the office erupted into chatter.
"Hey, that boss just now... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
"Me too. Could it be that we've really met?"
"Wait... What the hell, isn't that the boss of Sweet Potato Technology next door?"
"What Sweet Potato Technology... Wait, you mean the one that makes the Virtual Helmet?"
"Who else could it be? What the hell! Our Sweet Potato Films has such a big background!"
As someone recognized Li Hong's identity, the office instantly buzzed with excitement.
Oh my, Sweet Potato Technology is currently famous worldwide. To put it bluntly, if Sweet Potato Technology went public now, it wouldn't be surprising if it became the highest-valued company overnight.
They never expected that the boss of Sweet Potato Technology was actually their own boss at Sweet Potato Films.
Although they are both called Sweet Potato, Sweet Potato Technology and Sweet Potato Films are not the same entity, leading many to believe it was merely a coincidence. However, it turns out they are indeed related!
This revelation has stirred up countless waves of excitement, with many secretly relieved that they did not resign from the company, otherwise they would have missed the chance to align themselves with such a powerful ally.
Since Sweet Potato Technology announced the Virtual Helmet on the es018 Forum not long ago, it has instantly become the focus of the world. Although the Virtual Helmet is currently only available in limited quantities and few people have experienced the true virtual world, it does not diminish its status globally; after all, it is a genuine virtual reality.
Moreover, their challenges stem solely from insufficient production capacity. If Sweet Potato Technology were to unleash its production capabilities without restraint, it could potentially end the Internet Era and usher humanity into an unprecedented Virtual Era overnight.
The emergence of the virtual world has already impacted countless industries in the real world. The film industry is no exception; amidst a backdrop of decline and desolation, Sweet Potato Films has unexpectedly increased its investment, drawing ridicule from many peers for lacking foresight and seemingly seeking its own demise.
But now that Sweet Potato Films has secured a partnership with Sweet Potato Technology, who would dare to claim they are on a path to self-destruction?
Goodness, if this is considered self-destruction, then what does that make other film companies?
