Chapter 592 - 575 Wanjia Film and Television
Wanjia Film and Television made a profit of 109 million last year, mainly thanks to "Gambling God," with high overseas rights sales. After looking at the financial report, Lu Jiaxin felt she had underestimated Wanjia Film and Television, after all, the profit was indeed great, considering Green Forest’s profit was only around a hundred million last year.
With this thought in mind, Lu Jiaxin went to Wanjia Film and Television the next day and asked Tian Pengyu for the filming schedule list.
"Legally Blonde" is almost finished, and "Gambling God" will start shooting next month. Except for these two she’s familiar with, she only knows a bit about the other movies and TV series, which isn’t Tian Pengyu’s fault. It’s because Lu Jiaxin is a hands-off boss, and her only requirement for Wanjia Film and Television is not to lose money.
After looking at the filming plans, Lu Jiaxin said, "Bring me all these scripts."
Tian Pengyu was overjoyed, "Boss, just wait, I’ll get them right away."
The boss’s initiative to review other movie scripts shows she’s starting to take Wanjia Film and Television seriously. With her Midas touch, as long as she’s willing to invest effort, this year’s profits will surely surpass those of previous years.
Lu Jiaxin glanced at the scripts he brought over and took the one on top to read. The movie is called "Fierce Dragon Over the River," a cop thriller, a genre that Hong Kong directors excel at. Both Hong Kong and the Mainland love this kind of film, but to make money, it must be a masterpiece. So far, Wanjia Film and Television hasn’t produced a masterpiece cop thriller.
After reading a dozen pages, Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "This won’t work, it’s too dull, and the audience won’t like it. You can add some comedic elements, making it less dull to attract the audience."
Tian Pengyu quickly noted it down.
Lu Jiaxin skimmed through the nine scripts. All were standard, none of them stood out to her. Of course, the good scripts had all gone to a few other big film companies, leaving them with leftovers. Although they have produced three blockbusters, they are still a notch below the others.
