I Found A Planet - Chapter 344
Chapter 344: Ultimate
“Me? How can I save the entertainment industry? I don’t have that kind of ability,” Wang Zeyu said.
He could have fun and amuse himself in the entertainment industry, but to rescue said industry? What means or abilities did he have would allow him to do that?
“Don’t worry, I will teach you how to go about doing it.” Chen Jin whispered his plan in Wang Zeyu’s ear.
Wang Zeyu’s eyes widened as he listened to Chen Jin’s explanation. A few moments later, he found himself admiring the plan so much that he was praising it to high heavens.
Chen Jin intended to invest $50 million and support Wang Zeyu in setting up a new entertainment company with a 50% share. The name of the new company was to be “Heaven of Love” and it would simply be referred to as “Tianai”. Wang Zeyu would be its Chairman.
After the establishment of “Tianai”, the main targets to be recruited were those celebrities who had unfortunately “won the prize”.
“There is no doubt that the value of these artists had fallen to the level of rubbish by now. Little Brother Ze, your company can recruit them at very low prices. Before they developed AIDS, those stars were worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. But now, you can get them to sign on for only tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands.”
“We’ll sign all of them to Tianai and Xing Hai Technologies will provide the relevant drugs for treatment to cure their disease. Once healthy, they will make movies, sing, and participate in various commercial performances to bring profit to the Tianai company.”
“Because Tianai has given them a new lease of life, they will certainly not be able to make selfish demands as and when they like when it comes to their salaries. A monthly salary of $100,000 would be enough with some bonus issued at the end of the year. It will become very cheap to use them.”
“In addition, this will also be a good opportunity to do some advertising. Xing Hai Technologies will soon launch a drug to cure AIDS completely. After the stars have trialed the drugs, and their fans have spread the news, there will be no need for Xing Hai Technologies to spend money advertising the drug. It would be fully promoted via the celebrities’ effective use of the drug.” This was the second advantage.
“Finally, after having experienced this rollercoaster ride, the celebrities who felt their life was over and then got a second chance will cherish their lives, restrain their actions and wash away the ditziness and ostentation that they had been living with. They would be purified into the cleanest artists. Their entire focus will be on producing excellent works of artistic merit. This will definitely help the development of Z country’s entertainment industry.”
“Of course, I can’t guarantee that this is how things will turn out, but Tianai should put all its energy into producing excellent pieces of work and use their productions to prove themselves. This is also the only way they can change the public’s impression and regain validation from the public.”
“This includes you too. The more the public discriminates against you, the more you have to prove yourself! The flowers that bloom in the mud are the most beautiful; only falling stars can collide with the atmosphere to create sparks. There can be no rebirth without destruction. By holding onto this belief to create art, how could Z country’s entertainment industry not be rescued?”
Listening to Chen Jin’s words, Wang Zeyu became fired up. He nodded fiercely. “Yes, Brother Chen, you are right! Others say that Z country’s entertainment industry is dead. I will save it! Let it be transformed and bring hope to people again! They said that I, Wang Zeyu, had killed half of the entertainment industry. If so, then I will use all my time to rebuild a new entertainment industry! I don’t want it to be filled with money and depravity, but art and culture.”
At this point, Wang Zeyu knew the responsibilities on his shoulders and clearly saw the path that he should take.
Hence, after leaving Junting Grand Court in his recovered state, Wang Zeyu took the $50 million given to him by Chen Jin. He also demanded another $10 billion from his family as his fee for “breaking all ties” with them. He put all these funds into the Tianai company, and in accordance with the ideas provided by Chen Jin, began the rescue of the “half-dead” entertainment industry.
But less than two days after the company was founded, Wang Zeyu came to Junting Grand Court hugging his arm and screaming his head off. “Brother Chen, save me! I was bitten by a female artist. She came to our company’s interview today but it was just to attack me. As she bit me, I said that I had recovered and that just made her bite down even harder, saying that she must pull me back down to suffer the same fate. I have lost a piece of flesh on my hand. I must have gotten AIDS again; give me the treatment again.”
Chen Jin folded his arms and shook his head. “Ah, who made you pass the disease onto her in the first place? It’s your own sin.”
A few days later, Wang Zeyu ran screaming to Chen Jin again. “Brother Chen, I was bitten again!”
It wasn’t long before Wang Zeyu was running to Chen Jin every two or three days. After some time, he became too lazy to do so. He had already gotten used to being bitten. Every female artiste who joined Tianai had bitten him. He no longer feared any poison.
However, his medical report showed that the amount of HIV in his body was always zero. He was a normal, healthy person. Xing Hai Technologies had achieved a complete cure for AIDS!
This gave hope to the artists who joined Tianai company. They complied with the arrangements, did their best in filmings, and work hard for the opportunity of priority treatment.
Wang Zeyu called Chen Jin excitedly.
“Brother Chen, I don’t know why, but the artists in my company have become pretty good at acting. Their films are very emotive and have deep, meaningful qualities. Their acting skills have improved significantly, especially this teen idol called ‘Jia Tao’. Everyone used to call him ‘Jia-facial paralysis’. Now, whenever he’s called to act in a crying scene, he can enter the state in 5 seconds and cry in 30 seconds. When he has to act like a madman, he becomes remarkably like a madman. He is showing signs of developing into a veteran actor even at this young age. This is a very pleasant surprise. I plan to push this fellow with all my resources. He will definitely be a superstar in the future!”
Chen Jin rolled his eyes. “Just this little bit of talent and you think he will be a veteran actor? I don’t think that you will be too bad at acting either. If you want to act in a crying scene, you just have to think about the indifference of your family when you suffered from AIDS. I’m certain you would start tearing up immediately. If you want to act like a madman, simply think about the despair you felt when you were abandoned and reviled all over the world. I’m also certain you would become like a real madman.”
“Yeah!” Wang Zeyu’s eyes lit up. “Brother Chen, what you said makes sense. I suddenly want to act too. I want to see what my acting skills are like.”
Chen Jin said, “Little Brother Ze, I’ll put it this way. The artistes in your company will definitely be the best performers in the country. There is no other reason. It is because all of them had AIDs. They have experienced the deepest hatred and despair possible in this world. This has more effectively improved their acting skills and sharpened their mentality than enrolling in a hundred famous schools.”
“Getting AIDS can improve one’s acting skills?” Wang Zeyu suddenly marveled at the revelation. “So this is what Brother Chen means! The hope of Z country’s entertainment industry.”
Chen Jin nodded. “Yes. Moreover, after AIDS has been completely removed in the future, it will not be possible to experience such despair. The artistes in your hands will be a rare treasure.”
Wang Zeyu was so overcome with admiration that he prostrated himself. “Brother Chen, I understand your plans fully now! You are a genius!”
Chen Jin smiled and shook his head. His plan had just begun. His main purpose was to sell the medicines developed by Xing Hai Technologies that could be used to treat AIDS.
This medicine had created a sensational impact after it was featured on the TV series, ” Love in Heaven”, launched by Tianai Entertainment. With the actors’ superb acting skills, the TV series achieved a total audience in the billions and an excellent word of mouth reputation amongst the audience.
The news that Xing Hai Technologies had completely conquered AIDS spread across the whole country, and even the whole world, extremely quickly.
According to statistics, there were more than 50 million people living with AIDS worldwide. A considerable portion of them were wealthy people with high social status. Because of their wealth and with some “universal love”, they had a higher probability of getting sick than ordinary people.
Now that they had seen the hope of survival, all of them made requests in the hope that Xing Hai Technologies will save their lives.
Faced with the calls and pleading of so many patients, Xing Hai Technologies let it be known that the current production of the therapeutic drug was extremely limited. Only 500 people could be treated each day, although that number would increase later. According to the registration order on the official website, the total cost of treatment for one person was $300,000. There was also a long queue for the treatment.
What if you urgently need the treatment and did not want to wait in line? Then you could donate all of your property to support Xing Hai Technologies’ desert management business. The donation must be no less than 5 million USD.
“Why do we have to donate all property? Can’t we donate only part of it?” Some patients expressed dissatisfaction and raised their own doubts.
“Only when you have given up all your property will the patients lining up behind you not complain. If you only donate part of the money and enjoy the treatment in advance, the poor will feel that it’s very unfair, and they will be very angry!”
“Moreover, the money you donate will be used for desert management. It is used to protect the earth! So not only will you be saving your own life, but you will also be saving the planet. This has such great significance and meaning. How can others remain dissatisfied?”
Alright! Alright!
No matter what was said, Xing Hai Technologies always made sense!
Hence, countless wealthy AIDS patients who could not wait for their turn in the queue, divested all of their assets to save their lives. They had used all the money that they had in exchange for a healthy life.
And just like this, in at most a day, Xing Hai Technologies earned billions.
First, was the entertainment industry, then the group of patients. Chen Jin had made ultimate use of these two groups.
