Chapter 507: Joining Eternal Splendor

"Starting a company on your own?"

"Brother, Shao Studios has been crushed by Eternal Splendor to the point they can't lift their heads, Jiahe Zouwen is full of ambition, and now they're just surviving in the crevice of Eternal Splendor."

"We should set up a company?"

"I'm just afraid we'd get killed by these people."

"If we mess up, it's not scary; but if we succeed, Eternal Victory is waiting for us."

"Are you starting a company? You're just looking for trouble."

Xu Guanwu gave him a head‑on strike.

(Historically, the Xu brothers didn't last long; after the 1990s, there was almost no news about them.)

Xu Guanwen was dissatisfied.

"I just can't believe it…"

Xu Guanwu directly covered his mouth.

"Don't, don't lose faith. If you want to start a company yourself, you can go to Jiahe."

"If you just want to make a film, go to Eternal Splendor."

"You must have a backing."

"Otherwise, I won't go crazy with you."

Xu Guanwen hasn't filmed a warlord yet, because Li Hanxiang is at Eternal Splendor.

It hasn't reached the point where you must negotiate profit sharing with a company.

But wanting to start a company is real.

Talented people often consider themselves extraordinary.

But Xu Guanwu is relatively more conservative.

"I propose we go to Eternal Splendor; the funds are ample, the resources are abundant. As soon as we enter Eternal Splendor, even though the director contract is low, we can immediately start preparing our own film, and the capital is sufficient."

"And when we leave, Guan Ying, Guan Jie also need to come along; Guan Jie and you will have a C‑level actor contract, plus the director contract and profit sharing, so we'll earn quite a bit."

"When our director and actor contract levels rise, the profit sharing won't be less than what we'd get by starting our own company."

That hits the nail on the head.

At Eternal Splendor Company, actors and directors can receive box‑office profit sharing, up to half of the revenue with the company.

Using only top‑tier contract actors, the salaries aren't high, which doesn't affect film production.

Top actors mainly take the profit share.

That's the advantage of internal filmmaking.

Even if we hire Li Long, the salary is the same—about a hundred thousand a month.

But Li Long's external fee has already reached over two million US dollars.

In such an environment, go to Mao Jiahe.

"Then let's go to Eternal Splendor. The few of us brothers should quickly upgrade our contracts, each taking 5% of the box office; together that's 20%, and we don't even have to spend our own money."

"Haha, Eternal Splendor really is a great place."

Xu Guanwen got so excited that he almost climaxed.

Xu Guanwu couldn't really watch.

"Alright, quickly tell Guan Ying and Guan Jie."

"Our work hasn't amounted to much yet; Guan Ying and Guan Jie have contracts with Shao Studios."

"There are penalty clauses."

Xu Guanwen has already set his sights on Eternal Splendor; now, whatever we say, it's fine.

"I've heard Eternal Splendor can pay this bridge fee."

Xu Guanwu rolled his eyes. "You really know how to calculate."

This bridge fee first requires that they consider you worthy.

But given Xu Guanjie's reputation, it shouldn't be a problem; as for Guan Ying, he's currently not valuable.

The Xu brothers joining Eternal Splendor didn't cause any stir, because Eternal Splendor has its own assessment system, and with someone outstanding like Xu Guanjie leading, the others aren't an issue at all.

Even Chen Ziqiang only heard about the Xu brothers going to Eternal Splendor after returning from WanDao.

But he didn't care, because the Xu brothers don't have that much influence yet.

It wasn't until "The Ghostly Twin Stars" was released that Yang Qing realized his company had attracted another big name.

June.

Yang Fan and Yang Qihang both received admission letters from Stanford University.

Yang Fan's grades were excellent, with no issues, and he even earned a full scholarship.

Yang Qihang was close, originally not meeting the standards.

But Stanford's admissions staff, upon seeing Yang Qihang's age and then checking his family background,

immediately accepted him.

also with a full scholarship.

In August, the two happily went to Yingjiang to study.

Meanwhile, Chen Hong went to San Francisco to open a Supreme Ultimate Fitness Center.

Yang Qing suddenly felt empty.

Zhao Man Ting sighed, lamenting that her beloved grandson had left.

Qin Huairu seized the opportunity and began to show enthusiasm.

Chen Xueru instantly saw what she intended to do.

Women without a career are just like that, sad, wanting to have more children to give themselves more security.

She calculated her own body.

I've only given birth to two, it seems I could still have more.

Moreover, after Chen Hong left, Zhao Man Ting hinted to them, offering a reward for having another child.

Chen Xueru couldn't hold back either.

Not long after, the two of them became pregnant again.

Zhao Man Ting indeed did a complete 180-degree turn in her attitude toward them.

Yang Qing, however, secretly warned himself, he's getting older and can't keep stirring up trouble.

Although they do not fall into the category of older first-time mothers.

But they are also older mothers.

(Older first-time mothers are relatively high-risk; older mothers are next in risk level; anyway, giving birth at an advanced age makes it easy for the child to have problems and for the mother to develop complications.)

Zhao Man Ting's little tricks, he also noticed them; in order to prevent her from continuing to harm the two older mothers, Yang Qing specially went to talk with her.

"Mom, having children also depends on age—look how old they are."

"I think you can put some effort into Yang Fan and Yang Qihang."

"These two have been practicing Supreme Ultimate with their mother since childhood; this martial art not only strengthens the body but also enhances fertility."

"Look at me—since I started practicing Supreme Ultimate, I've had a bunch of children."

"Yang Fan and Yang Qihang are not far from adulthood—just a few years away."

"Just bear with it, then put some effort into them."

"I really can't do it anymore—the company has a mountain of things, and my body can't take it."

Seeing Yang Qing before her, indeed much worn out, Zhao Man Ting finally let him go.

At the same time, she fixed her gaze on Yang Yuntian and Yang Canghai.

"Practice Supreme Ultimate early."

The two little bean sprouts crawling all over the ground still didn't know they were being watched by their grandmother.

Crawling on the ground, they moved extremely fast.

The toys that Yang Fan had taken apart into pieces were again being ravaged by them.

Zhao Man Ting still felt sorry for Chen Hong, but now the Mainland has eased up a lot.

So she had Yang Qing make some inquiries.

"Go find some connections and inquire—how are your mother-in-law and brother-in-law doing?"

"Don't let anything happen because of you,"

Yang Qing felt that things probably weren't so sinister anymore.

"I'll go to Huaron tomorrow to check it out and inquire through them."

"Speaking of which, I really feel sorry for my mother-in-law and brother-in-law."

"Hopefully they won't be implicated."

Chen Hong was sent away; probably no one would use this matter to give them a hard time.

"Even if there were, given their status and the protection of their clan, it's unlikely anything too awful would happen."

If something serious really did happen, he truly wouldn't know what to do with himself.

For his own sake, he had ruined a family that should have had a bright future; this guilt was also hard for him to get past.

He once only wanted to run away, not thinking much; since coming to Gangdao, this worry of his has grown deeper and deeper.

Before, when Chen Hong was at home, he didn't dare mention this matter.

Overflowing with guilt.
