Chen Feng had no intention of banning Tang Jierui, and besides, he didn't have such great power.
However, it is obviously impossible for Wu Mengting and Fengmang Film and Television to have any cooperation with Tang Jierui.
Even Tang Jierui's company, Yongxing Agency, will find it difficult to cooperate with Fengmang Film and Television in the future.
Wu Mengting wanted to avoid suspicion, even for the general manager Lu Sijia. She had to consider the views of her boss Chen Feng.
Tang Jierui had a scandal with Wu Mengting. If she cooperated with Yongxing Agency, wouldn't she deliberately slap the boss Chen Feng in the face?
She couldn't pretend not to know about this, because when Wu Mengting went to work that day, most people in Fengmang Film and Television Company knew about it. Of course, Lu Sijia, as the general manager of the company, couldn't not know about it.
In fact, she knew about this last night, her secretary told her.
But this matter involved Wu Mengting and the boss Chen Feng, so she could only remain silent and not express any opinions, and it was impossible to tell Wu Mengting about it.
The two people now have a relationship of checks and balances. Even if they are harmonious on the surface, they cannot change this fact and it will be difficult to be truly close.
After Wu Mengting came to the company, she also realized that everyone in the company must have known about the scandal between her and Tang Jierui, and the way they looked at her was a little different from before.
However, she could only endure the matter, pretending as if nothing had happened, and immediately threw herself into her work.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, she held a high-level meeting of the company and formally approved the project for her second self-written and self-produced TV series, "Meet You Again".
This TV series has a starting budget of 80 million, of which the main part is Yang Ziying's salary. After these days of negotiations, Yang Ziying finally made concessions and offered a package price of 18 million yuan, rather than based on the number of episodes.
This TV series is shot for 50 episodes, so the average price per episode is 360,000. This price is really not high for TV queen Yang Ziying.
When she was at her most popular, her salary per episode was as high as 800,000 yuan. Later, due to the influence of the general environment and her popularity, she still declined somewhat, but her salary per episode was still 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Now it only costs 360,000 per episode, which is really a friendly price.
This is also the result of Yang Ziying's willingness to reduce her salary, mainly because she likes the script and the heroine in it too much.
Originally, her contract company did not agree to her salary reduction, but after the recent two episodes of "The Sapphire Case" had the highest ratings of 3, plus Yang Ziying's persistence, they finally agreed.
The main reason is that they are relatively optimistic about the second drama of Wu Mengting, a gold medal female screenwriter and female producer. Moreover, Yang Ziying has not filmed a TV series for two years, and her popularity is gradually declining. She needs a new hit drama to enhance and consolidate her popularity.
In this way, this film "Meet You Again in the Season of Flying Flowers" can be regarded as a direct selection of the heroine.
The script was completed two days ago, and it has been handed over to Chen Feng, Lu Sijia and other major company executives for review in the past two days. Chen Feng and even Chen Feng felt it was good, no worse than "The Sapphire Case".
As a result, the project was immediately approved, the crew began to be prepared, and at the same time, cooperation and investment intentions were also issued.
First of all, the first one to rush to participate in cooperative investment was Star Media. They invested in "The Sapphire Case", but the amount was not very large, but with the popularity of "The Sapphire Case", they undoubtedly made a lot of money.
Therefore, I have been waiting to participate in the next film and television project of Fengmao Film and Television for a long time.
Especially since Wu Mengting is the screenwriter and producer, this project has been favored by Star Media from the beginning.
As soon as there was some news here at Fengmang Film and Television, a vice president and public relations manager from Star Media immediately came over to do some work.
This project is still led by Wu Mengting, and Lu Sijia is somewhat unable to get involved. As for how the investment share of this project will be allocated, Wu Mengting has more say than she does.
Of course, the biggest say is still with the boss, Chen Feng.
At noon, because Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui were both busy with work in the company, they simply had lunch at the company and did not come back. Chen Feng was alone at home, so Tang Xinyi called him and asked him to go to her place for dinner in the evening, if he was free.
If so, you can go find her now and have lunch with her.
Chen Feng didn't feel like having lunch at home alone, so he drove over to find her.
Tang Xinyi also had good intentions. Seeing that he was coming over, she specially wanted to cook a few more dishes. When Chen Feng came over, she was busy in the kitchen.
After opening the door and bringing Chen Feng in, she said enthusiastically: "I'll just cook two more dishes. Just wait for another ten minutes."
Chen Feng was not polite and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for a while."
Chen Feng sat down on the sofa, checked his phone and waited, while Tang Xinyi went to the kitchen to continue working.
After Tang Xinyi cooked the food and asked him to come over for dinner, Chen Feng put away his mobile phone and went to the restaurant to sit down.
Tang Xinyi had already brought him food and chopsticks. She served with a smile throughout the process and seemed very enthusiastic, which made Chen Feng feel very comfortable.
"Try it and see. My cooking skills are average. If it doesn't taste good, don't blame me."
Tang Xinyi said modestly.
Chen Feng has already eaten Tang Xinyi's cooking before. In fact, her cooking skills are quite good. Although not as good as Sun and Wu, they are still pretty good.
A total of seven dishes were placed on the table, six dishes and one soup, which was enough for two people to eat. It was quite a sumptuous meal.
Chen Feng took a bite of the sweet and sour pork first. It tasted good, so he nodded and said, "It tastes pretty good. With your cooking skills, you have defeated at least 80% of the young women in the country."
After being affirmed by Chen Feng, Tang Xinyi said happily: "As long as you like it. Come on, eat more."
Of course, Chen Feng was not polite. He tasted several dishes. Except for one of them, which was a little salty, the others were all good. The fish soup was especially delicious, and at least two-thirds of it went into his stomach.
At the dinner table, Tang Xinyi chatted with Chen Feng about her recent situation, mainly that she was still managing her half-dead media company. In addition, she attended some parties and met some high-class people under the introduction of Tao Yaoyang and Huo Jindong.
and social elites.
The two chatted while eating, mainly Tang Xinyi talking, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.
After the two of them finished eating, Chen Feng went to sit down on the sofa in the living room first. After Tang Xinyi simply cleared the table, she immediately made Chen Feng a cup of tea and brought it over.
The two of them sat side by side on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting while watching TV.
The two seemed to have been in a passionate state since they first met, and had returned to the normal way of getting along as an old couple. There has been no physical contact since this meeting.
When the midday news on TV ended and commercials were interrupted, Tang Xinyi asked seemingly casually: "I heard that your company has a new project, and it is also a script by Wu Mengting. Is this true?"
Chen Feng nodded and looked sideways at her: "Yes. What, are you interested?"
Tang Xinyi immediately smiled and said: "Of course I am interested. You also know that my company is half dead. I wanted to transfer the company's shares before but no one took over. If I continue to waste money, I can only file for bankruptcy. So I hope this time
I can get an investment quota and participate in this new project of your company."
Chen Feng said: "I have no objection if you want to participate in the investment. However, you have to know that this new project of our company is not guaranteed to make money. No one can do this. Don't think that "The Sapphire Case" is popular this time.
Now, I think the second part will continue to be popular. No one can guarantee this."
Tang Xinyi nodded and smiled: "Of course, I run an entertainment company myself, how could I not know this? As long as you give me this investment quota, even if I lose money in the future, I will not blame you."
"That's no problem. The initial budget for this project is 80 million, and I can give you an investment share of up to 10 million."
"That's great. Thank you, dear."
Tang Xinyi was immediately overjoyed and took the initiative to hug Chen Feng and kiss her. Chen Feng also kissed him back, and the two of them soon lay down on the sofa.
More than an hour later, Chen Feng put on his bathrobe and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water. He drank a large bowl in one breath and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he went to sit down on the sofa in the living room again, and was about to turn on the TV again when his cell phone rang.
Chen Feng took out his cell phone from his pants pocket on the sofa and saw that the number was Zhang Jingwen, whom he had not contacted for a while.
Chen Feng couldn't help but frown, and after thinking about it, he still chose to answer.
"I'm here at East Lake Jinyuan. I have something to ask you. Can you come over?"
These words, which were obviously an offer, made Chen Feng unconsciously think of her long legs, and his mind couldn't help but sway slightly.
He doesn't like Zhang Jingwen's temper, but he still likes her body.
Chen Feng quickly came to his senses, coughed dryly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I just want to see you." Zhang Jingwen suddenly said such a disgusting soft word, which made Chen Feng feel goosebumps.
Of course Chen Feng didn't believe that she really missed him, so he said angrily: "Okay, if you have something to say, I'll hang up if it doesn't matter."
"Okay, I have something I want to talk to you about. The company's next TV series is about to start filming. Have you and Wu Mengting considered arranging a role for me in it? When we signed the contract, you promised me,
She wants to praise me very much. Wu Mengting also agreed to create a TV series tailor-made for me, but so far there has been no news. Instead, she first tailored the TV series "Meet You Again" for an outsider like Yang Ziying."
Zhang Jingwen's words were not unreasonable. Chen Feng immediately switched to boss mode and became more patient with his contracted artist. He explained: "As early as last year, Mengting and I were following
We met Yang Ziying and had an agreement with her at that time. Meng Ting said that she would write a script specifically for her, but it took almost a year to fulfill the agreement.
And this time, Yang Ziying took the initiative to lower her salary to participate in the film. It can be said that she is full of sincerity and there is no reason not to cooperate with her. As for your script, Meng Ting has actually roughly written the outline, and the project can be filmed next year at most.
Don't worry, she and I will keep our word. It's impossible to sign you without praising you."
Zhang Jingwen was still a little dissatisfied after hearing what he said, so she said: "When will it be next year? If it is the second half of next year, I can't wait. Zhang Yuxi and I both signed contracts with your company at the same time, but now she is more
I filmed a TV series earlier, and now I am very popular. This is so unfair."
Zhang Jingwen is full of resentment and unwillingness. Now "The Sapphire Case" has become a hit drama. As the heroine, Zhang Yuxi is of course extremely popular. She has already been far away from her for a long time, which makes her now full of
Feeling of frustration.
Last year, although there was a slight gap in popularity between the two, it was not very big, but now it is obviously at least one notch lower.
"We have explained this to you before. The heroine in the drama "The Sapphire Case" is not suitable for you. There is nothing we can do about it. When the script came out, you had not even joined our company, let alone
It’s not suitable for you to act either.”
"Then can you give me a more precise time? Can you tailor-make one for me in the first half of next year at the latest?"
After Chen Feng pretended to think about it for a while, he said slowly: "It should be no problem to start filming in the first half of next year. I will urge Mengting. If she can't write it, I can find another good script for you."
"No, I want the script Wu Mengting wrote for me, tailor-made for me."
"Well, I will urge her to get it done as soon as possible. After all, the sooner the script is written and the filming starts, the sooner the company can make money, don't you think?"
"Well, then I'm relieved." Chen Feng's answer still satisfied her, and his tone softened, and then he suddenly added, "Then... can you come over now?"
She really wanted to date him. She took the initiative. Chen Feng was immediately moved and said immediately: "Okay, I'll go over now."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng hurriedly got dressed, went into the bedroom, stood outside the bathroom door, and shouted inside: "Xinyi, I have something to do and I have to leave first."
Tang Xinyi was taking a bath inside. After hearing Chen Feng's shout, although she felt a little reluctant, she still agreed loudly.
Almost half an hour later, Chen Feng arrived at East Lake Jinyuan.
After knocking on the door, Chen Feng saw Zhang Jingwen wearing a light gray yoga suit, which was tight and seemed to be very popular in recent short videos, but in reality this was the first time Chen Feng saw his woman wearing this.
I have to say that Zhang Jingwen's outfit really highlights her good figure in this outfit, with a swan neck, an average-to-upper bust, a small waist, long legs, and a tun...
Especially with long legs, it’s no better than wearing black stockings.
After the two looked at each other in silence for a while, Chen Feng pretended to be calm and asked: "Are you practicing yoga?"
Zhang Jingwen nodded: "Well, let's see, it's okay to be idle anyway, I don't have any announcements now."
Chen Feng moved his eyes away from her long legs, swallowed, and nodded: "It's good to practice yoga. It can exercise your body and mind and keep you healthy and energetic."
…
Chen Feng returned home before dinner, but Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui worked overtime together today. As the boss, Chen Feng certainly couldn't stop their enthusiasm for work, so they ended up eating at home alone.
If he had known earlier, he would definitely have stayed with Zhang Jingwen and had takeout with her.
