Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi arrived at 9:45 am. Tan Jinqi parked the car and they walked towards the gate of Kefeng Films. A little while later, they saw Yan Zhengxing waiting at the gate.
Seeing Yan Zhengxing waiting there, all the staff members of Kefeng Films who walked past him looked back at him curiously. They didn’t know who Yan Zhengxing was waiting for at the gate.
Yan Zhengxing was looking around. When he saw Tan Mo and Tan Jinqiqi walking over, he cracked a smile at once walked towards them.
The staff members also looked over in the direction where Yan Zhengxing was walking. Then, they saw two good-looking youngsters, but they didn’t know either one of them. Could they be newcomers who had just entered the entertainment industry? But how could it be possible that Yan Zhengxing would wait for two newcomers in person? It seemed like there was a big boss behind them!
“Director Tan, Tan Mo.” Yan Zhengxing walked over and greet them with a smile.
“Mr. Yan, much obliged to have you wait for us here.” Tan Jinqi said politely.
Yan Zhengxing walked Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo into the company’s entrance and said, “It was all my mistake that Broken Continent and Nine Heavens were released and broadcast online at the same time. I feel guilty towards both of you. I didn’t sleep well last night.”
“It’s very kind of you, Mr. Yan,” Tan Jinqi said with a faint smile. “Due to some man-made mistakes, the two series collided. Since the date has been set, we have to wait and see how it goes.”
“I’ve already reported it to Mr. Xu,” Yan Zhengxing said. “He will also be attending the meeting. Don’t worry, he and I are on your side. We won’t let you suffer the loss.”
In Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo’s opinion, what Yan Zhengxing said was just a joke. Neither of them took it seriously. If that was true, Manager Wu wouldn’t have taken advantage of them. And such a situation wouldn’t have appeared.
They followed Yan Zhengxing into the meeting room and saw Xu Dazhi waiting at the door of the meeting room. Seeing the three people come over, he also hurried over to greet them.
As soon as they met, Xu Dazhi apologized immediately, “I’m really sorry for causing such an unpleasant incident. It was my mistake and I didn’t keep an eye on Manager Wu. He has always been very reliable in his work, but I didn’t expect him to play such a filthy trick this time. He betrayed my trust.”
Xu Dashi and Yan Zhengxing were quite polite, and they showed a courteous attitude towards Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo.
They all entered the conference room.
There was no one in the conference room because it was a little early at the moment.
The assistant brought in several bottles of water and coffee for them.
With no other people around, Xu Dashi said, “I heard that Tan Mo asked Mr. Yan not to postpone the release of Nine Heavens?”
After all, Nine Heavens was a big project and was highly valued in Kefeng Films.
“Yes.” Tan Mo nodded. “We have confidence in Broken Continent.”
Tan Mo did not ask Yan Zhengxing and Xu Dashi about their impressions of Broken Continent. This was because Tan Mo knew that if they did not broadcast it or they failed to make any progress, they would be conservative.
Actually, this made sense. If there was no progress made, why would others trust them unconditionally or even blindly?
The foundation for future cooperation was also based on the final result.
“Even if there has to be a competition between us, we will not lose,” Tan Mo said confidently. “We also believe in the aesthetic judgment of the audience. I’m sure people will like a good series that is produced with great effort.”
Yan Zhengxing thought to himself that Tan Mo was still young, no wonder she would have such naive opinions.
There had been many examples before that the series was well-made, but because they did not spend money on marketing or buying the broadcast volume, the final data was not good enough. Therefore, the broadcast platform did not want to publicize it, and finally it was given up by the platform.
Tan Mo also didn’t know what Yan Zhengxing was thinking about. Otherwise, Tan Mo would have told Yan Zhengxing that they actually didn’t have to spend money on marketing. With Wei Zhiqian on their side, everything could be solved easily. Even if she didn’t say it, Wei Zhiqian couldn’t just watch the broadcast volume of Nine heavens surpass that of Broken Continent.
The crew members of Nine Heavens had better behave themselves and stopped playing such tricks. Otherwise, Tan Mo would also do the same, and Broken Continent would definitely surpass Nine Heavens no matter how much broadcast volume they bought.
By that time, it would become a matter of how rich the crew of Nine Heavens was. Anyway, Tan Mo wasn’t afraid of it at all.
Xu Dashi didn’t know what to say, but he had already made a decision to discuss it with Wei Zhiqian later.
Wei Zhiqian wouldn’t just watch Tan Mo lose anyway. However, he was also very angry. These two extremely important projects were competing with each other. No matter who would win, Kefeng Films would suffer a loss.
Xu Dashi was very angry with Manager Wu. This guy was so selfish that he didn’t take the profits of the company into account. After this project was over, Xu Dashi didn’t plan to keep Manager Wu in the company anymore. The long friendship between them was over.
At this moment, the people from the relevant departments all arrived. Xu Dashi and Yan Zhengxing couldn’t say anything else.
The managers from the various departments were shocked. They didn’t expect Xu Dashi and Yan Zhengxing to arrive so early.
Xu Dashi stood up and introduced Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo, “This is the director of Broken Continent, Tan Jinqiqi, and this is the screenwriter of this series, Tan Mo. And I guess you guys are familiar with Manager Gao from the production department. He is also the producer of this series,” Xu Dashi said to Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo.
During the preliminary preparations, Tan Jinqi and Manager Gao had often interacted with each other, so they were familiar with each other.
“This is the sales manager of the marketing department, Xu Xiangqian. He is in charge of the advertising for Broken Continent and Nine Heavens this time,” Xu Dashi said.
“This is Manager Wang of the marketing department. He is in charge of the marketing evaluation and analysis of the two series.”
“This is Manager Liang of the operations department. She is in charge of the scheduling of the TV series.”
“This is Manager Yu of the public relations department. She and her subordinates are in charge of the marketing and promotion of the various series on the platform.”
When these managers heard Xu Dashi’s introduction, they felt as if he was introducing their roles to Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo. After they figured out who was who, he would ask them to take responsibility for their mistakes.
Did they think too much?
And these people were all from the series department. The film department was another group of people.
Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo tried to remember the names of these people.
“Take a seat,” Xu Dashi said. When he saw the empty seats, his face grew colder. “Manager Wu and the crew members from Nine Heavens haven’t come, right?”
The others were still secretly studying Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo. They were still thinking about what kind of attitude they should have towards them.
Manager Gao, who was familiar with Tan Jinqi, said, “Yes.”
The sales manager, Xu Xiangqian, looked at the clock and said, “There are four minutes left.” This sentence meant that it was not time for the meeting yet. Those people were not considered late, so they should wait a little longer.
As if right on cue, four minutes later, at 10 o’clock, the door to the conference room was pushed open..
