As a hen that could lay golden eggs, “Free and Easy Wandering” undoubtedly brought huge benefits to the headquarters. Hence, the headquarters discussed this problem for a long time but could not completely confirm it.
Ou Cheng joked, [I wonder if your Best Actor Ji is interested. If he wants to join, he might be able to speed up the finalization of this project.]
After all, everyone in the industry knew that Ji Jun was a good investor. Hence, if Ji Jun was optimistic about this project, it would undoubtedly be a guarantee of reputation.
Although the film industry had entered the era of big data and dramas and movies relied on various data, people in the industry would still be superstitious. Hence, if Ji Jun joined, the higher-ups’ confidence would definitely be much higher.
If it were any other artist, they would definitely be very happy to see this message. However, Lin Zi did not have much of a reaction when he saw it.
That was because with Ji Jun’s status and popularity, he did not lack good resources. Although “Free and Easy Wandering” was a popular IP, it would not add much value to Ji Jun.
Hence, he only replied vaguely, “If the script is good, he might really be interested.”
However, Lin Zi did not think much of this. There were many examples of big IPs failing. However, Ou Cheng, who had originally casually mentioned it, felt that it was interesting now. Hence, he immediately contacted his good friend, Liao Hui.
Kangaroo Platform’s parent company was called the Great Shu Corporation. It was one of the richest corporations in the country. Its founder, Yang Shu, occupied the top three spots of the richest people in the country all year round. The corporation’s industries involved finance, real estate, biotechnology, entertainment, and so on.
Among so many industries, it was most famous for the “Kangaroo” video platform, the game company, and the game “Free and Easy Wandering”. After all, these two industries were directly targeted at the public and were the most discussed.
To a large company like Great Shu, the most direct way to increase the stock price, or rather, the way to increase the confidence of investors, was undoubtedly to let them see the potential of this company’s future.
To put it bluntly, it could continuously create a commotion. This was also why the Great Shu Corporation suddenly wanted to develop the entertainment industry when they were in the process of doing business. Then, they did not care about the cost and spent a lot of money. In just a few years, they turned the Kangaroo Platform into the largest video platform in the country.
Even if Kangaroo Platform was still incurring losses every year, they would not hesitate. That was because to the Great Shu Corporation, they could afford to incur losses relative to the increase in the stock price. After making a long video platform, they activated the gaming section and relied on “Free and Easy Wandering” to achieve a coveted high profit.
Therefore, the Great Shu Company would definitely dig out the value of “Free and Easy Wandering”. It would not only be limited to the gaming industry, but it would also bloom in different industries.
The first step was to develop live action and animation. There was also the construction of related industrial parks, development of various merchandise, and other plans to create a true “Free and Easy Wandering” world. Only then could it be a beautiful business card of the Great Shu Corporation and feedback to the head office endlessly.
However, the project was not so easy to land. As one of the people in charge of the entertainment industry, Liao Hui was also one of the main people in charge of promoting “Free and Easy Wandering”.
Because the risk was too high, the project was not progressing smoothly. The higher-ups had many concerns. Liao Hui was having a headache over this matter when he received a message from his good friend, Ou Cheng.
[I think you can contact Ji Jun. If he’s willing to invest and act as the protagonist, you might be able to get many higher-ups to agree to your plan. Moreover, you don’t even have to worry about funds.]
Liao Hui thought for a while and felt that it was indeed feasible. After all, he had heard about the eSports variety show. Ji Jun’s involvement had attracted many brands and directly raised the show by a few levels. This was enough to prove his commercial value and the investors’ confidence in him.
This matter had also been discussed within the Great Shu Corporation. Even their President, Yang Shu, had said, “Oh, it’s that kid from the Ji Family. That’s not strange.” It was obvious that President Yang was very impressed with Ji Jun.
Hence, if he could pull Ji Jun into the game and use him as a flag, the resistance of this project might be much lower.
Liao Hui thought for a moment and immediately got someone to contact Ji Jun’s team.
Lin Zi did not expect Great Shu to come knocking on his door and say that they wanted to cooperate as soon as he contacted Ou Cheng..
