"Wanting is also very young. She is just twenty-four years old this year. Others have just graduated from college. She has been running the film and television production company for almost four years. Four years, right? When she was a sophomore
Have you started this company?"
Qin Manyuan looked at Xu Wanting again to confirm the accurate time.
Xu Wanting nodded and said, "Don't call me old, I'll be angry. But this matter about the company is purely due to good luck."
Qin Manyuan seemed to know what Xu Wanting wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Wanting is actually a child star. Her family is from the northwest. She came to Bao'an with her parents in her early years, and Bao'an Satellite TV was established not long ago. By a coincidence
I fell in love with Wanting and asked her to go to satellite TV to be the host of a children's program."
Having said this, Cheng Yu seemed to be a little impressed.
No wonder he felt that Xu Wanting looked familiar when he saw her. Now it is confirmed that he must have seen the program she hosted when she was a child by accident.
"I just thought that Sister Wanting was kind-hearted, but I couldn't remember it. I didn't dare to say more, for fear that you two would think that I was trying to get close to a beautiful woman. When Sister Man said this, I was somewhat impressed, but I graduated from elementary school.
After I left the country, I never watched Sister Wanting’s show again.”
"I should have left Baoan TV by the time you graduated from elementary school.
In the second grade of junior high school, I was a little nervous about studying, and my family wouldn't let me go to the TV station.
After graduating from high school, I was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University, and the major I chose happened to be at the Bao'an branch.
Baoan TV found me again, but I no longer wanted to be in front of the stage. I worked as an intern for a year and basically figured out the program production process.
After that, I created a variety show for Baoan TV that was ranked number one on the station and among the top three in the country, and that’s when I founded the current company.
In fact, it was just good luck. It was a coincidence one after another. It was my first time trying to be a director and I got a good schedule, which helped to improve the ratings a bit.
An investor came to me and said that he wanted to invest in me and let me start my own program production company. Thinking about it, it was really fierce at the time. I didn’t think about anything and just quit my job at Baoan Satellite TV.
After a full year of internship, I just became a full-time employee, and there is no precedent for this. A current university student was given the quota for full-time employment, so I actually resigned."
"Don't listen to her. No one can succeed by luck. She is just a bit too hypocritical." Qin Manyuan interrupted with a smile.
Xu Wanting also smiled and continued: "It's really not hypocrisy, it's really just good luck.
If the show hadn't exceeded the expectations of the sponsor's father, and the station had just rushed to secure a title sponsor almost before the show started in order to grab a slot, there would have been no further investment.
I thought about it carefully later, and if it hadn’t been for the funder’s father who not only invested the capital, but also directly provided me with advertising resources for a year, I would never have been able to continue the company.
At that time, I only had some experience in program production and I knew nothing about managing a company. Xiaoman, you know, I still call him daddy.
Many people in the outside world speculate about my relationship with Lao Fang, but in fact, our relationship is a clean relationship between investor and investee.
We have a really good personal relationship, and that’s because I’m really grateful to him. Without Lao Fang, I, Xu Wanting, would never be where I am today. He is in his fifties and his children are all older than mine. What’s wrong with me calling him daddy?
"
Cheng Yu nodded, he understood this situation very well.
Cheng Yu didn't dare to speculate on whether Lao Fang had any thoughts in his mind, but from Xu Wanting's performance, she was very calm and there was absolutely no possibility of any other transaction with Lao Fang.
If a woman succeeds in this society, she will always be questioned from all aspects.
Especially beautiful young women, they are directly associated with certain unspeakable aspects.
There are women who rely on their bodies to get to the top, but in an environment like Xu Wanting's, she can't get to the top based on her body.
After all, if the program you produce is garbage, no one will buy it.
A variety show, no matter how cheaply it is produced, costs more than several million. Which TV station or person in charge of a video platform dares to use the company’s hundreds of millions of funds to buy a garbage show, just to make his second brother happy?
A handful?
In fact, many of these things only require simple logical reasoning to figure out the truth, but often the vast majority of people are not willing to do such reasoning. They wish that such tidbits could be more exciting.
"Okay, stop talking about me, who is this kid? Let me introduce him to you."
Xu Wanting looked at Tan Wulian.
Tan Wulian suddenly suppressed his blush.
On this table, he is a purely supporting role, even a walk-on is not an exaggeration.
Therefore, from the moment he sat down, he kept his head bowed and said nothing.
Only when Xu Wanting entered the door, he raised his head and took a look, which was astonishing.
Tan Wulian knew very well who he was going to meet today. In his opinion, Qin Manyuan's best friend should also be a beautiful woman, but in Tan Wulian's preconceived impression, she should also be someone like Qin Manyuan, who is even past her thirties.
mature women.
Xu Wanting's appearance and dress are really deceptive.
Twenty-four years old, of course, is still very young.
But anyone who sees her will think that she is a energetic girl.
Even if it’s an exaggeration, some people believe her when she says she’s a high school student.
This contrast made Tan Wulian even more stunning.
After Xu Wanting briefly introduced her entrepreneurial history, Tan Wulian was deeply impressed. He thought his boss was a genius, but now it seems that there are so many geniuses.
In other words, geniuses always cluster together.
Hearing Xu Wanting mention herself, Tan Wulian stood up in a panic, his voice even stuttering.
"I...my surname is Tan, Tan...Tan Wulian. Wu at noon, honest Lian."
Seeing Tan Wulian so nervous, Xu Wanting giggled non-stop.
Usually when meeting someone for the first time, this is enough to introduce yourself.
But Tan Wulian was still stammering: "I am also twenty-four years old. I am a graduate student at Wudong University. I majored in economics. I also work in Mr. Cheng's company. Oh, I am also from the northwest."
At this moment, even Qin Manyuan couldn't help but smile.
"This is not a blind date for you. There is no need to introduce it in detail." Cheng Yu helplessly patted Tan Wulian's arm and motioned for him to sit down.
Qin Manyuan smiled and said: "Wanting, don't say that I didn't introduce you to young talents. Mr. Cheng, you have no chance, but I think this Xiao Tan is not bad. Mr. Cheng told me before, Xiao Tan
Tan is the director of the venture capital department of his company, and he is also a top student at Wudong University. His age is suitable for you, so you must not miss it."
After saying this, Tan Wulian became even more shy, lowered his head, and his face was so red that his neck felt like it was on fire.
Xu Wanting looked at Tan Wulian with great interest, nodded constantly, and said: "Not to mention, he is not bad looking, but the key is that he is so shy. Shy boys are especially cute. By the way, Xiao Tan, you said you are
People from the northwest, where are you from the northwest?”
"Shanxi." Tan Wulian answered honestly.
Xu Wanting immediately became interested: "Are you really a fellow countryman? I am also from Shanxi. Where is Shanxi?"
"Datong Lingqiu County."
Xu Wanting was stunned, looked at Tan Wulian again, and said: "It can't be such a coincidence, my ancestral home is also Lingqiu." After speaking, a string of Shanxi dialect came out.
Tan Wulian answered blankly in their native dialect. Cheng Yu and Qin Manyuan looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Wanting suddenly let out an exclamation.
"I remembered, are you the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our province that year?"
Tan Wulian nodded and said, "Science."
"It's true. We took the college entrance examination in the same year. My household registration was still in Lingqiu, so I had to go back to Shanxi to take the college entrance examination.
Although I came back after the exam, I also paid attention to the top scorer in our province's college entrance examination when I was checking my scores.
Of course, I majored in liberal arts, so I was deeply impressed by the number one scholar in liberal arts.
At that time, I heard that the number one scholar in science was from our county. I didn’t expect that you were actually the number one scholar in science.
Speaking of which, I was only three points away from the number one scholar in literature, just because of a multiple-choice question.
if……"
Seeing that Xu Wanting was a little unfinished, Qin Manyuan interrupted her.
"That's almost enough. How about I leave first with Mr. Cheng and you two have an in-depth communication?"
Tan Wulian blushed and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Xu, I'm going to the bathroom so I won't delay your discussion."
After saying that, Tan Wulian stood up in a hurry and left the private room.
Behind him, there was a string of laughter from Xu Wanting, like a silver bell, which made Tan Wulian's heart beat several times, like a heavy hammer hitting his chest.
"Wanting, I see you are in high spirits. Do you really like Xiao Tan?" Qin Manyuan picked up the teapot and refilled Xu Wanting's tea.
Xu Wanting tilted her head, seemed to think about it seriously, and said, "Actually, it's not bad. The fact that I'm a fellow countryman is a plus. My dad will definitely like it when he sees it. He's just a little shy. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear my tossing."
"Even if you are not shy, can you resist your tossing? I see, if there is any obstacle between you two, it is that you are not in the same city, so the possibility of development is lower."
Saying that, Qin Manyuan glanced at Cheng Yu, as if asking Cheng Yu if he would let someone go in order to accomplish good things for others.
"This can be coordinated. The key is whether he and I can get along harmoniously. Oh, no, aren't we here today to talk to Mr. Cheng about the possibility of cooperation? I came here to see my father. Why did he become the person to introduce me to?
Xiaoman, you're almost done!" Xu Wanting stared, but there was no deterrent. After all, it was so childlike.
Qin Manyuan and Xu Wanting have known each other for many years, and she knows very well that Xu Wanting is probably really attracted to her.
She thought that if Xu Wanting was really interested, she would ask Cheng Yu about Tan Wulian's situation. If possible, it would be a good thing.
Cheng Yu saw this and said slowly: "As for Xiao Tan, the family situation is quite difficult."
He briefly explained what he learned when he first met Tan Wulian.
"Of course, this won't be a big problem. With the ability that Xiao Tan has shown now, even if he can't get rich in the future, he won't develop too badly in our company. Fortunately, he has no brothers and sisters, just
As a pair of old parents, I guess Sister Wanting won't mind this."
Xu Wanting frowned slightly and said, "Is this really a blind date? Mr. Cheng, Xiaoman, don't you two have this in mind?"
Cheng Yu and Qin Manyuan looked at each other and smiled.
"That's not the case." Cheng Yu waved his hand, "I just see that Xiao Tan has a different attitude towards you, and you seem to have a good impression of Xiao Tan. Sister Man and I should hope that good things will happen."
Qin Manyuan also nodded and said: "I really don't mean that. If it was me who arranged it, I would have to arrange for a young talent like Mr. Cheng who has already established a career. I don't know Xiao Tan at all."
Xu Wanting observed the two of them again, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you.
Not to mention, it’s quite a coincidence.
Now that you have said so, I would like to express my opinion that I am willing to try to develop a relationship with him. I don't care what Mr. Cheng said about his family situation. I also believe Mr. Cheng's perspective on people.
Since Mr. Cheng can now hand over such an important department as the venture capital department to him, I think his future development will not be a problem.
Of course, love is not a sale or a transaction. I don't know if I can still maintain a good relationship with him after having more contact with him.
It all depends on fate.
However, he will be back soon, so don’t mention it again, I think he is already very embarrassed."
Cheng Yu picked up the tea cup with a smile, but Qin Manyuan still said reluctantly: "Tsk, tsk, I have already started to protect the food."
Xu Wanting rolled her eyes and ignored it.
"Mr. Cheng, Xiaoman told me about your idea before. In fact, I don't think there is anything wrong with the idea itself, but our company is really not big enough. Even if you are willing to invest, I don't dare to produce such a program.
Sales are very problematic.
After all, our industry also pays attention to step-by-step progress. If you ask me to talk about program cooperation with the four major TV stations now, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Moreover, the four major TV stations all have their own very strong and complete production teams. The possibility of a small company like us wanting to get involved is too low.
I can only cooperate with some second- and third-level satellite TV stations, and the program production costs should not be too high.
Even when hiring such traffic stars, they have to consider the broadcast situation after the program is completed. To be honest, my company really can't leverage such a big weight.
However, Xiaoman also said that you also want to try to get involved in a new investment field. Last night, I took stock of several projects on hand and sorted out two.
There is a gap in production costs and financing is needed.
They all have good growth potential. They can continue to do this for two or three seasons and strive for some ratings in programs on second- and third-level satellite TVs.
I brought the project planning document, can you take a look at it?"
Cheng Yu nodded, and Xu Wanting took out the project planning book and handed it to him.
After turning it over, Cheng Yu first went through it roughly and had the most basic understanding of both projects.
Then, he began to read the two plans in detail.
He didn't know much about this aspect, so he could only analyze it from a purely audience perspective, trying to find the prospects of these two projects.
To be honest, these two projects are a bit cliché.
One is a talent show.
This type of program is actually out of date, but considering that this project has signed agreements with two entertainment companies, top-ranked and potential contestants can be signed to these two companies after the game.
Of course, it is not a large entertainment company, and the influence it can bring is limited.
Cheng Yu didn't know much about the program process, but it was not too different from other talent shows. Cheng Yu had already made up his mind about this project.
Another project clearly has traces of borrowing from a certain debate program. Of course, the entire process and production are quite different.
It won't be accused of plagiarism, but its freshness is limited.
Comparing these two projects, Cheng Yu felt that the second one still had the possibility of success.
Just as he was watching, the private room door was pushed open and Tan Wulian came back.
Cheng Yu handed the two plans to Tan Wulian and said, "It's just in time to discuss the project with Sister Wanting. You should also take a look at these two plans."
Tan Wulian quickly took it and read it carefully. After reading it, he analyzed it from his own point of view. Generally speaking, it was similar to Cheng Yu's understanding.
"If we can cooperate, I want Xiao Tan to take over this project and call him from northern Anhui. That's the intention. Since Xiao Tan and I both think that a debate and interview program can be tried, then we should
Why don't you let Xiao Tan stay and contact Sister Wanting with your production team, and finally we will determine how to invest and how to proceed with program production?"
Xu Wanting smiled slightly. She understood that this project had a total investment of tens of millions, and the funding gap they needed for this project was only about three million.
Cheng Yu obviously wanted to test the waters on the one hand, and on the other hand, he probably thought that with project cooperation, Tan Wulian would be able to maintain contact with Xu Wanting in a natural way, which was considered the beauty of adulthood.
Nodding, Xu Wanting said: "Okay, I'll go back and ask the production team to have in-depth contact with Xiao Tan."
Cheng Yu looked at Tan Wulian and wanted to ask him how he was staying in Bao'an years ago, but found that Tan Wulian seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Xiao Tan, do you have a question?" Cheng Yu asked.
Tan Wulian opened his mouth, but no sound came out, but Cheng Yu's cell phone rang again.
"Sorry, I'll take a call."
Seeing that the call was from Xue Changyun, Cheng Yu stood up, gestured to Qin Manyuan, made Xue Changyun's mouth shape, and got up and left the private room.
Xue Changyun's call was to tell Cheng Yu that the expert in Germany was very interested, but he still needed to meet and talk directly with Xue Changyun, mainly to have further communication with the expert in the United States to confirm
Both parties are collaborating for this case, and there is no disadvantage of taking away other people's projects.
"Mr. Cheng, I have already booked a flight, and then I have to go back to Xixi to apply for a visa for Germany. I plan to fly to Germany tomorrow afternoon. I leave Xiaoman's affairs to you."
"Don't worry, Sister Man and I have signed the contract, and I will pay her the money on time in accordance with the contract. You should be busy with your work. When we are done, we will discuss the second phase of funds."
"So fast?"
"You, Mr. Xue, are asking me to do something. Can't I do it quickly? Moreover, I also need to get the investment contract here. Before the Chinese New Year, I will fly to the United States in a few days to completely transfer all the funds in the United States.
Done. Time waits for no one."
"Hard work, hard work."
Cheng Yu hung up the phone, and Qin Manyuan just walked out.
"How is the situation over there with Lao Xue?"
Cheng Yu introduced the situation, and Qin Manyuan nodded and said, "That's good. Two experts should be able to restore the old man's health."
Seeing Cheng Yu preparing to enter the private room, Qin Manyuan winked at him and said, "Don't rush in, let them have some time to chat alone. I just happened to go to the bathroom."
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom too."
The two walked away together and entered the bathroom respectively. After using the toilet, Cheng Yu washed the handles and suddenly remembered that he had not accepted the second primary task that appeared yesterday.
Just as he was about to wait for Qin Manyuan to come out, he clicked on the task system on the light screen in his mind, went in, clicked on the envelope, and checked the task.
