The projects under Ali Entertainment are actually not that many.

And most of them are quite abstract.

No wonder they've been losing so much money in recent years, there's even rumors that Little Ma might shut down Entertainment.

However, Ali's brand is still quite prominent, and many large productions lacking investment actively seek them out.

Currently, although Chen Yiyang has gained some fame, it's limited to him proactively seeking out others who warmly welcome him.

Chen Yiyang looked through for a while and found a familiar name.

Mali?

This person is quite famous for writing novels, and even has an online nickname, Prince Ma.

Chen Yiyang didn't expect his book to be adapted into a TV series.

He glanced at the project's name again.

The Longest Day In Chang'an.

A historical drama, without romance elements, more focused on historical restoration.

This project looks good, mainly because the male lead's image requirement is a middle-aged man.

Chen Yiyang thought of Pan Yuming.

It can be given to Pan Yuming as a welcoming gift, also as a signal to outsiders.

He, Chen Yiyang, can still secure projects for his artists in the entertainment circle.

"This one." Chen Yiyang pointed to the project The Longest Day In Chang'an.

"I'll help you communicate." Zhu Mingzheng went out to make a call.

More than half an hour later, Zhu Mingzheng returned.

"There are quite a few backers behind this project, mainly Sanqin Culture and Tourism responsible for the main investment."

"So?"

Chen Yiyang thought the deal might fall through.

"However, this TV series is currently planned to be sold to Youku platform, and Youku is interested in buying the broadcasting rights at a high price, Ali still has a lot of influence in this project."

"Understood." Chen Yiyang nodded.

Prince Ma's fame is still quite strong, with a wide network.

His book is set to be made into a TV series; attracting investment should not be difficult.

Coincidentally, in recent years Sanqin Province has been implementing a tourism strategy. A drama set in the Great Tang era is sure to boost the related tourism industry.

But TV series is different from movies, they don't earn from box office but from platform broadcasting rights purchase fees.

Therefore, Sanqin Culture and Tourism also pulled in Ali Entertainment.

Behind the Youku video platform is Ali Entertainment, which has promised to buy the first round of broadcasting rights at a high price, essentially providing a guaranteed income for this drama.

Simultaneously, Ali Entertainment will also invest some money, becoming one of the co-producers.

"Currently, this TV series is mainly directed by Cao Dong, Ali can transfer some of the investment shares to you, but for more details, you need to talk to Cao Dong."

"Okay, that's fine." Chen Yiyang nodded.

What he mainly wants is the male lead of this drama along with a co-producer title.

As for how much to eventually invest, or what share to get, he's not too concerned.

After finishing talking with Ali's folks, Chen Yiyang made a brief call with Cao Dong and found out Cao Dong is now in West Capital City.

Hence, he arranged to meet him there.

Though Chen Yiyang didn't spend much time in West Capital before, he still has some businesses there.

For example, the hotel currently managed by Liu Yiyi.

Upon his return, Chen Yiyang checked the accounts and found the hotel operating well, and the accounts were very clear.

Liu Yiyi has come into her own!

Chen Yiyang plans to assign Liu Yiyi another position, let her oversee management, and see her abilities.

Of course, after returning to West Capital City, and handling official duties, Chen Yiyang's first visit was to Elder Yu.

"I heard you've been doing some big business lately." Elder Yu saw Chen Yiyang come in with a box of tea leaves, and jokingly teased with a smile.

"No no, merely trying to earn a living." Chen Yiyang replied.

"You're not just earning a living, you're aiming to be the richest man!"

Elder Yu didn't say this jokingly, "If it weren't for you connecting with the Yang Family, I'd really advise you to slow down a bit, be careful not to trip over others."

"No way, my assets are still small, far from being the richest man." Chen Yiyang humbly said.

"What brings you back to West Capital this time?"

"There's a film and television project, meeting someone to talk."

"Oh." Upon hearing it was a film and television project, Elder Yu lost interest.

"Aiya Electric Vehicle is currently developing new-energy vehicles, quite short on funding. Are you interested in investing some money?"

"Aren't their products selling well, why would they lack funds?" Chen Yiyang curiously asked.

"That I don't know. When they approached me, that's what they said. I didn't ask in detail."

"Okay, I'll talk to them later." Chen Yiyang guessed this was just an excuse by the other side to contact him through Elder Yu.

The real reason surely isn't a lack of funds.

After chatting with Elder Yu, Chen Yiyang returned home for a night's rest.

The next day, he checked his phone.

Today's intelligence, Ancient Roman gold bracelet: a gold jewelry store in West Capital City is selling an Ancient Roman era gold bracelet, successfully bought within five thousand yuan is considered a bargain.

Related picture is attached on the second page.

How did an Ancient Roman antique end up in a gold shop?

Chen Yiyang had arranged to meet with Cao Dong in the afternoon.

So he first drove to the place mentioned in the intelligence to find the gold shop.

This is a store mostly selling outdated gold jewelry.

The Ancient Roman gold bracelet mentioned in the intelligence was among them.

Gold doesn't age much, and the crafting technique of Ancient Rome for gold was quite ordinary.

So this bracelet, from appearance, seemed like it was crafted by a folk artisan.

No wonder it's being sold here.

Chen Yiyang negotiated with the shop owner briefly, and bought the gold bracelet for four thousand five hundred yuan.

Ancient Roman Gold Bracelet image.

Then, he headed to a conference room at the Sanqin Culture and Tourism Company to meet Cao Dong.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Cao Dong stood up and shook hands with Chen Yiyang.

Cao Dong is a veteran in the film and television industry, he initially worked as a screenwriter and later transitioned to photography.

He was involved in photography for Golden Powder Family.

Also served as photography director in Snail House and Heartbreak Thirty-Three Days.

Precisely due to this experience, he later transitioned to directing.

Prior to The Longest Day In Chang'an, he had already directed three TV series; although none were very popular, they provided him with ample experience.

However, Cao Dong was somewhat puzzled at the moment.

He had teamed up with Mali to shoot The Longest Day In Chang'an.

Investment parties, video platform, producers, he had contacted them all.

This TV series was set to start shooting soon.

But suddenly, Ali called, saying someone wanted to intervene in this project.

If it were someone else, Cao Dong would certainly have used his position in the film and television industry to send them away.

But this person was Chen Yiyang, who's been making quite a splash in the entertainment world recently.

More importantly, Ali's people had spoken, Ali's investment shares and rights as an investor could be transferred to Chen Yiyang.

This made Cao Dong take him seriously.

Someone capable of getting a cake slice from Ali must have some background.

Cao Dong wouldn't dare to speculate.
