At noon, Chen Feng stayed with Brina to have dinner together.
Sun Xiaorui's Chen Feng told her in advance, so she didn't have to go home and eat alone at noon.
After lunch, Chen Feng rarely took the initiative to say that he would take Brina to a scenic spot.
The scenic spot we went to was a street with antique buildings. There were various shops on both sides. The prices were extremely expensive. Most of the food there was, but the taste was not necessarily good. It specialized in business for foreign tourists.
Chen Feng brought her to this street, of course, not to buy her food, but mainly to bring her to experience the culture and lively atmosphere here.
Of course, it is also more suitable for her to visit various small shops with cultural characteristics here, which are generally very interesting and attractive to women.
You don’t have to buy it, but when you go from store to store and you really see something interesting and delicious, buying it or trying it out gives you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Chen Feng took her shopping here for almost an afternoon before sending her back to the rental house before Sun Xiaorui got off work, and then returned to Villa No. 8.
Not long after he sat down in the living room, Sun Xiaorui also drove back.
Chen Feng looked at the time, it was only 5:06 pm.
The company usually gets off work at five o'clock, and it takes about ten minutes to drive back here, no matter how fast you go.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
After Sun Xiaorui entered the house, Chen Feng asked curiously.
Sun Xiaorui explained: "I went out to meet with customers this afternoon with Mr. Lu. After the meeting, I didn't go back to the company and came back directly."
Chen Feng was stunned and asked casually: "What client did you meet?"
Sun Xiaorui said: "He is a vice president and art director of Star Media. They were planning a large-scale variety show and asked us if we wanted to join. Mr. Lu was very interested, so they sent a representative to come and have a meal with us.
We had a meal and then discussed the project.”
"What kind of variety show?" Chen Feng asked with some interest.
"A slow variety show like "Longing", find a few regular guests, and then invite a few famous stars to travel to rural areas with beautiful scenery that have not been fully developed. It sounds very good, but the initial investment is also
It is relatively large, and Star Media came to us. In addition to the good relationship between our two companies, we also want to share investment risks."
At first glance, it sounds like a slow variety show like this is quite good, after all, "Longing" is quite popular.
"What does Lu Sijia mean? Has she agreed to cooperate?" Chen Feng asked.
Sun Xiaorui shook his head slightly and said: "No. The main differences are the allocation of fixed guest quotas and the issue of project dominance. Since Star Media is the planner and initiator, they definitely want absolute dominance, but Mr. Lu does not
If she disagrees, she also needs to strive for certain dominance, such as the right to decide the quota of at least two fixed guests, the right to decide which special guests to invite, etc. Star Media is not very happy. For the time being, this project exists
Due to differences, it is difficult to reconcile at once."
Lu Sijia is now very ambitious and has a much stronger desire for control. Even in projects planned by Star Media, she wants to try to gain dominance.
It’s strange that Star Media would agree to this.
"How much investment will this project require?"
"The production cost of the first season is about 60 million. The main cost is to hire 3 to 5 regular guests, two of whom must be well-known domestic stars. In addition, there is 20 million in publicity and distribution.
Fees. The preliminary total budget is 80 million."
"It's not very expensive. However, "Longing" is popular, but other similar programs that follow the trend may not be popular as well, so we should treat it with caution. Lu Sijia is right to want a certain degree of dominance. Although we have a relationship with Star Media
Okay, but we are all colleagues and friends in the business field. We cannot really trust you. You should be careful and don’t let them fool you. You can tell Lu Sijia what I mean when you go to work tomorrow. For such a project, if you can’t
She has a certain degree of leadership and supervision and would rather not participate. If she is interested in producing variety shows, she can do it herself."
"Okay, I'll tell her."
"Okay, go and heat up the food. I just came back not long ago, and I'm already a little hungry."
"Well, then I'll go and heat it up."
Sun Xiaorui, who had just come back from get off work and hadn't even sat down to rest for a while, went to heat the food obediently without any grievance or reluctance.
While the two were having dinner, Sun Xiaorui told Chen Feng about the company's affairs in the past two days. The main thing was that the company had hired more than a dozen employees, two of whom were senior screenwriters, and the company had given them very good treatment.
Lu Sijia hopes that they can each hand over a good TV drama script within two months, regardless of the subject matter. The only requirement is that the quality is excellent.
Lu Sijia, the general manager, is obviously ambitious to invest in more TV series, and at the same time, he does not rule out the possibility of relying too much on Wu Mengting, the gold medal screenwriter.
Before these two screenwriters came over, Wu Mengting was the only screenwriter in their company. With the popularity of "The Sapphire Case" and becoming a hit, it has brought great benefits to the company.
But the benefits to Wu Mengting are even greater. She completely occupies a dominant position in the company's internal film and television production.
Originally, the two of them were somewhat on equal footing, but now that Wu Mengting has written and produced the hit movie "The Sapphire Case" herself, her prestige within the company is higher than that of the general manager Lu Sijia.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Lu Sijia suddenly recruited two senior screenwriters to check Wu Mengting's screenwriting ability.
This can be regarded as healthy competition and an internal matter of the company. Of course Chen Feng will not interfere.
What's more, from the perspective of the company boss, Wu Mengting is his employee. Although he hopes that the company's employees will be excellent and capable, he certainly does not want this employee of the company to be too outstanding or outstanding.
If it gets to the point where the normal operations of the company will be seriously affected without him or her, that would be very bad.
Because in that case, it would be easy for employees to turn against customers, making him, the boss, very passive.
Wu Mengting is now his nominal girlfriend, and Wu Mengting herself has the consciousness of a boss lady.
She can work hard for the company Fengming Film and Television, write scripts and become a producer.
But Chen Feng had no idea what would happen to him and Wu Mengting in the future.
Therefore, if she leaves Fengmang Film and Television in the future, and if no one takes over her job, especially if she cannot provide the company with good scripts, then Fengmang Film and Television's business will plummet.
Lu Sijia has now recruited two senior screenwriters, which is a precautionary measure and very necessary.
Thinking of Wu Mengting, Chen Feng didn't contact her in the past two days.
The main reason is that Wu Mengting may be too busy. She hasn't sent him a message or called him in the past two days. Chen Feng is such a lazy person, so of course he didn't take the initiative to call or send her messages.
Now, while he was free while eating, Chen Feng sent her a video directly.
Not long after, the video was connected, and I saw Wu Mengting's face. Looking at the background, she was actually at the filming site.
"Have you not eaten yet?" Chen Feng asked a little surprised.
"No. The crew is still filming. We have to wait until the scene is finished before we go to dinner together."
When Chen Feng heard this, he frowned slightly and said in Lushi dialect: "You are a producer, not a director, so you don't have to fight like that."
Wu Mengting also laughed and said in Lushi dialect: "Just because I am a producer, I have to lead by example, but I can't do anything special."
Seeing what she said, Chen Feng didn't say anything more on this issue. He just said, "As a producer, you shouldn't have to keep an eye on her like this every day, right?"
Wu Mengting said: "The problem is that I am not only a producer but also a screenwriter, so I have to work with the team. And I am also willing to work with the team. I can supervise the filming situation at any time and be aware of the filming progress and some of the crew's expenses."
Wu Mengting, the producer, is not only in charge of the filming of the crew, but also in charge of the crew's financial affairs. She was originally the financial director of Fengmang Film and Television. This TV series is a sole proprietorship of Fengmang Film and Television. She is not responsible for the finance of the crew.
?
In order to prevent any staff members from the crew from interfering or making random claims, Wu Mengting kept a close eye on it, and every financial expenditure had to be approved by her.
Therefore, she had to stay on the set every day, otherwise she would not be at ease.
This is also her mentality as a boss lady. Every penny spent by the crew belongs to the company, and the company belongs to Chen Feng, and what belongs to Chen Feng is equivalent to her own.
Of course, she didn't understand it so deeply, but the general meaning was similar.
"Don't tire yourself too much. Didn't you bring your assistant and financial staff there? Just leave some things to them, you don't have to do everything yourself."
"As for financial expenditures, some expenditure items are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. I won't worry unless I personally keep an eye on them."
When Chen Feng heard what she said, what else could he say? As a boss, how could he blame his employees for being too responsible?
However, as her boyfriend, Chen Feng still advised: "You can keep an eye on her in person, but there is no need to work too hard. After all, you are only one person."
"Well, I understand. I have been a little tired these past two days. Tomorrow I will hand over some of my unimportant things to my assistant. Some small expenditures on the finance side will also be taken care of by the company's finance staff. Otherwise,
I was really busy and my body couldn’t bear it. As soon as I went back to the hotel these two days, I lay down and fell asleep.”
"You have to take care of your health, otherwise by the time the filming is over and you are not in good health, it will be more of a loss than a gain. I won't allow you to join the crew anymore."
"I know, I know, I will take care of myself." Seeing that Chen Feng cared about her, Wu Mengting was still very happy and said with a smile, "Later, after the filming of this scene is finished, I will go back to the hotel to rest, and I will
I won’t follow the group anymore and we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
"As long as you know it yourself. Take good care of yourself."
"Uh-huh."
…
The two chatted for a while, but because Wu Mengting was still busy there, they hung up.
"Didn't you ask when she would come back?" Sun Xiaorui asked from the side.
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Looking at her, she can't come back until the scenes over there are finished."
"Wouldn't it take a month or two to come back?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Absolutely."
Sun Xiaorui suppressed the secret joy in her heart and sighed: "Mengting is a little too hardworking, just like Mr. Lu. How do I feel that the women in you Lu City are all very aggressive and hardworking?"
Chen Feng said with a smile: "It's not just the women of Lushi, but the people of Lushi, especially the people of Lushi who work hard outside. After all, those who travel all over the world want to make money and get ahead. If you don't work hard, you won't be able to get ahead.
come out."
Sun Xiaorui said slightly playfully: "Then why don't you seem to have the energy to fight for success?"
Chen Feng was not angry, but said very proudly: "I don't have the same energy as them, because as a boss, I only need two capable subordinates who dare to venture and fight."
Sun Xiaorui smiled and said: "It's true. If you can find these two capable men, you can be considered as knowing people and making good use of them."
Chen Feng was not modest and nodded naturally: "That's for sure. It's the same for you, aren't you doing pretty well in the company now?"
Sun Xiaorui smiled and said: "It's all thanks to you, the boss, for giving me the opportunity. Otherwise, I might still be working as a salesperson in the mall."
Chen Feng also laughed when he heard this: "Don't say maybe, but definitely. According to your mentality of seeking stability, if you had not met me, you would definitely still be working as a salesperson now."
Sun Xiaorui said a little unconvinced: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe I will meet other good men, or choose one of the many suitors that I like and follow him."
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm narcissistic. Except for a handsome guy with temperament and good looks like me, it's hard for you to like other men. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to work as a salesman peacefully and get a monthly salary
A salary of five to six thousand."
Sun Xiaorui corrected: "I fell in love with you at the beginning, not because you were rich or handsome, but because I had met you three times by chance before that. I am a person who believes in fate, so I will wait for you when you mention me.
After I came out, I followed you."
Chen Feng was still a little skeptical of her rhetoric, but he still chose to believe it, otherwise Sun Xiaorui would indeed have seemed too materialistic and casual, which was not in line with her character.
"Well, I was lucky enough to meet such a good woman like you. Of course, you are also lucky."
"That's true." Sun Xiaorui said with a sweet smile, "If I hadn't met you, my life would definitely not be as colorful as it is now, and I would definitely not be as rich as it is now. This is all your kindness, I will keep it in my heart.
"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "People who know how to be grateful are more likely to be happy. You are good like this."
The two finished the meal chatting and laughing. Sun Xiaorui packed up the dishes and took them to the kitchen. Chen Feng sat in the living room watching TV like a second uncle, and then waited for Sun Xiaorui to bring him the brewed health tea.
While drinking tea and watching TV, he waited for Sun Xiaorui to come over and join him after washing the dishes.
Then, he received a call from Zhou Qianru, whom he had not contacted for a few days.
"Chen Feng, my stomach hurts. Could you please take me to the hospital?"
Upon hearing Zhou Qianru's weak voice, Chen Feng immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "Just wait, I will drive you to the hospital right away. Are you in Villa e06?"
"Yes, please, I'll wait for you to come over."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Chen Feng hurriedly hung up the phone, shouted to Sun Xiaorui in the kitchen, "I have something to go out to," then picked up the key and trotted out the door.
Thank you Grasshopper for the reward for beating up the universe!!!
