After this issue arose, Xiao He decisively decided to take action.
After completing the training, he returned to the company to discuss the matter with Liu Rulan.
Upon hearing Xiao He's idea, Liu Rulan had no objections and said, "Sure, go find Lin Cheng and have him take you to see Ling Hui's charity director."
After Linghui Entertainment got on the right track, all projects began to proceed steadily. Among them, public welfare projects naturally needed to be assigned to specific personnel. After all, the company and its artists need to have a certain social responsibility, establish a good charitable image in front of the public, and comply with relevant policies and tax requirements.
Although Xiao He doesn't usually attend related charity events and hasn't paid much attention to this matter, it turns out that the company has made very thorough arrangements for him, including dedicated charity projects. In conjunction with the "Little Box Charity Association" built by his fans, they conduct related operations and activities from time to time. Some time ago, he even participated in some green charity award ceremonies and received several certificates.
As Xiao He listened to the person in charge talk at length about the current development of the public welfare project, he belatedly exclaimed, "I didn't realize it had already developed to this scale."
The scholarship and poverty alleviation projects have been established for over a year. Although they are not as large as some other public welfare projects and the amount of money invested is not much, they have already genuinely helped more than 30 families and solved their current living difficulties.
As for the fans, there are even more, but these companies are too embarrassed to attribute these credits to them. They need to confirm and verify the details before they can know for sure, so it's not included in the current report.
Of course, no matter how you look at it, this situation and scale have exceeded Xiao He's imagination.
He was very satisfied.
Since the money has already been paid, it's natural to expect that the subordinates will do their jobs well.
Xiao He glanced through the accounts again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he continued to talk with the person in charge about his next steps.
Seemingly surprised by their boss's sudden idea, the person in charge didn't dismiss Xiao He's suggestion but instead pressed further: "Mr. Xiao, your proposal is certainly excellent. We can outsource the production of the public service short film, but regarding funding—"
"I'll cover it," Xiao He said magnanimously, waving his hand. "It won't use funds from the company's accounts."
"Okay, I understand."
Having a dedicated person in charge makes all the difference. Xiao He's idea was just a flash of inspiration, but the person in charge quickly turned his rough and vague idea into a concrete and feasible plan, and even provided an approximate amount and the preparation time required. This undoubtedly made Xiao He, the one who was spending the money, feel very comfortable.
"Alright, I'll leave this to you."
Xiao He patted the other person on the shoulder, and before leaving, he didn't forget to learn the essence of other bosses, saying to the person in charge, "Your name is Zhang Bu, right? I'll remember you, do a good job."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Xiao!"
Zhang Bu immediately beamed with joy, seemingly eager to take advantage of Xiao He's promise.
Hmm, not bad, not bad.
Xiao He finally felt some of the joy of being a boss, and he confidently walked away with his hands behind his back.
However, the next day, Xiao He still felt a pang of pain when he saw the pre-approved amount.
Running such a large company is expensive, no matter what you do.
He's already working so hard to earn money, so why does he always feel like he doesn't have enough when it comes to spending it?
Xiao He quickly inspected the several key projects that Linghui Entertainment was currently responsible for—
"Cang Yue Jie," one of the co-produced projects, is still airing and is recovering its investment quickly, already in a profitable state.
"The Legend of Chasing the Wind" is also a co-production and is expected to be released during the summer vacation. We are currently in talks with advertisers, and as long as it doesn't crash, it will definitely make money.
The variety show "Public Enemy Number One" just finished filming recently and is expected to air this month. It's unclear how well it will go and the probability of recouping the investment is unknown, but there is a minimum guarantee.
"Time Standoff," the biggest-budget sci-fi film ever made, is burning through cash every day. Whether you have money or not, it's a painful process!
Xiao He clutched his chest.
Some things are not for you to touch!
What a painful realization!
But then, Xiao He remembered the system that he had forgotten in some corner.
"I almost forgot I have my retirement savings here."
Xiao He slapped his forehead and opened his system interface.
However, upon opening it this time, the system interface, which had not been seen for a long time, unexpectedly entered a loading screen.
—To be honest, this was only the second time Xiao He had seen the system loading screen.
The first time was when the system bound him. At that time, Xiao He had just woken up in his dormitory bed and saw a strange progress bar floating in front of him. He thought that he had ruined his eyes by staying up all night playing games and had developed floaters.
Of course, it turned out that his eyes were fine, and despite years of exposure to electronic devices, his vision was still good and he hadn't become nearsighted.
However, Xiao He found it somewhat strange.
This initial screen didn't appear during the last system upgrade, so why is it here again?
He doesn't seem to have done much lately, except that his points have increased too quickly.
The box office performance of "No Bait" in China has stabilized recently. Based on the current situation, it is estimated that its total box office will be around 3.8 billion yuan when it leaves theaters, breaking the box office record for the May Day holiday in the past five years. It is unknown whether it will have the opportunity to break the 4 billion yuan mark if the film continues to be extended.
The only regret now is that the current film market is not as good as it used to be. A large part of the box office is contributed by Xiao He's fans, and there is also a group of people who are willing to pay for the plot of "No Bait" and watch it repeatedly. In the end, the audience who are willing to pay for this kind of movie are basically here. It is very difficult to persuade the rest of the audience to spend money to go to the cinema and pay for a movie.
It's true that you can't ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) please everyone.
Therefore, Xiao He was already very satisfied with these things.
The box office performance in overseas markets is even more impressive than in the domestic market.
Xiao He has truly made a grand appearance in front of movie fans worldwide this time. Since the release of "No Bait", his points have been rising at an extremely exaggerated rate, and now he is about to reach the threshold of one million points.
It took him more than a year, almost two years, to get past the previous hurdle.
And now, he only took less than six months to reach this threshold! Just a few months!
What a terrifying influence that is!
Xiao He even boldly fantasized that if he became a world superstar in the future, wouldn't he be able to draw from the high-level prize pool twice a year?
Of course, this is impossible to even think about.
With "No Bait," Hsiao Ho has expanded his global fame, so many movie fans, after learning his name, went to look for his previous works.
Therefore, Xiao He's current points are less due to the sudden success of "No Bait" and more due to his past works. Every step he has diligently accumulated in the past has become the foundation for people from various countries to recognize him and generate points for him.
Every step he took before counted—
