In fact, the person who seemed the most relaxed was Xu Ji, the CEO of the producer.
But Tongji Entertainment really has nothing to worry about.
The copyrights have also been sold. Although "Chess Soul" does not make much money this time, recovering the cost is already a certainty.
Even if it doesn't become popular, given the quality of the show itself, it's unlikely to ruin its reputation.
Even Youman just calmly cooperated with the promotion at Station G, and his mood did not fluctuate much.
On the contrary, it was something else that made Youman feel a little irritated.
That is Tongji Entertainment’s next plan.
"Soul of Chess" will be aired soon, and "White Night" has also been submitted for review and is expected to be released soon.
The biggest possibility is that it can be seamlessly connected with "Soul of Chess".
As director Xu Ji, the box office performance of "Wushuang" was quite good, far exceeding the initial expectations.
Tongji Entertainment currently has sufficient cash in the company's accounts, but Youman does not dare to use it easily.
Last time Xu Ji launched three projects at once, which really surprised her.
Although I still didn't have much financial problems at that time, it still brought a lot of pressure.
Who knows how many projects Xuji will set up at once this time.
Many current directors under Tongji Entertainment are actually capable enough.
Everyone wants to be favored by Xu Ji and direct their own works like Yang Anran and Pang Er.
Youman asked Xu Ji before, and Xu Ji said that it was not determined yet, but there was a high possibility that Yang Anran and Pang Er would not be left idle.
Including Xu Ji himself, it means that Tongji Entertainment will still need a large amount of financial support in the future.
Sure enough, it was the right decision not to agree to build the company building before.
As for Xu Ji, he is still at the stage where Xianyu wants to take a good rest.
Although Yang Anran and Pang Er had asked insinuatingly several times, and even the best actor Wei Yifa was also asking about Tongji Entertainment's new project, Xu Ji was perfunctory.
Tongji Entertainment's stall is getting bigger and bigger. Although Xu Ji has always been the hands-on shopkeeper, it is inevitable that he is still much busier than before.
Fortunately, Tongji Entertainment currently mainly focuses on film and television projects, and the attributes of a brokerage company are not very strong.
Except for some of the artists Xu Ji had agreed to before, no one else had signed any other newcomers.
And most importantly, Xu Ji always felt that he had been a little too petty before.
Although Tongji Entertainment has a lot more people and a much larger scale compared to two years ago, in fact, compared to the three major entertainment companies such as Phoenix Entertainment, it is still far behind.
In addition, when Xu Ji talked to Duan Shengyu about the broadcast of "Soul of Chess" on the official TV station, the other party specifically reminded him to be careful of people from the three major entertainment companies.
Although it was not stated clearly, Xu Ji also knew that someone among the three major companies was obviously deliberately targeting Tongji Entertainment and himself.
Although there had been some friction before, because Tongji Entertainment was still too small, the conflict between the two parties did not seem so formal.
Although Phoenix Entertainment has banned it, in the final analysis it has not taken any serious action, it is only verbal.
But this time the schedule for "Wushuang" was so small that Xu Ji felt something was wrong.
It seemed that he couldn't hide even if he wanted to, and Xu Ji had no intention of hiding.
Even if they were the top three, Xu Ji didn't feel that they were invincible.
Mainly because Tongji Entertainment is currently considered a minority in the entertainment industry and is not limited to the three major companies.
I just hope that the people from the top three don't really blatantly try to get his idea, otherwise Xu Ji won't mind and follow suit.
For now, Xu Ji wants to continue to expand the company's scale.
As Youman guessed, the next capital investment from Tongji Entertainment may be the largest in history.
...
In Beijing, in a dusty office, a group of rough guys were busy cleaning.
After such a long period of filming, Song Lili finally completed it.
This time it was more difficult than Song Li had expected.
His perfectionism problem actually recurred.
After receiving such a good script from Xu Ji, he naturally wanted to do his best.
Many shots that I originally planned to make do with were shot over and over again.
In fact, in his opinion, he would regret it for the rest of his life if he did not film "My Leader, My Group" well.
I don’t even think about whether the company can still sustain it.
If it weren't for Xu Ji's initiative that Tongji Entertainment also participate in the investment of this drama, Song Lili Company's financial situation would probably not be able to support it at all.
Not to mention the loan I still owe from the bank.
If the show is not successful this time, it is estimated that the company will officially declare bankruptcy in the future.
Fortunately, after the shooting, Song Lili was quite satisfied with the material, and as soon as his enthusiasm returned, he planned to invest in post-production.
"Director Song, do you need us to contact the TV station and video website in advance?"
Song Lili's company vice president and one of the producers of his crew asked.
It's not because he doesn't have confidence in the show.
It’s really because I failed too many times before, and now I have some psychological shadow.
Previously, Song Lili and everyone in the company were as ambitious as they are now, but as a result, the rights to the new drama could not be sold at all after filming was completed.
It was not easy to negotiate a cooperation with Penguin Video, and even though the original star TV series was turned into an online series, in the subsequent gambling agreement, the company's new drama data was not very satisfactory.
There was no way to recoup the cost later, which put the company on the verge of bankruptcy.
That is to say, relying on Song Lili's status as a first-line director and the contacts he has accumulated, he managed to get the last chance.
In the end, Song Lili chose the young Xu Ji, but he was actually a little worried.
But after reading the script, I felt that Song Lili's decision was quite correct.
The script given by Xu Ji is indeed quite excellent.
"You go and make contact first."
"It's better to be safe."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Song Lili originally wanted to wave his hand to show that it was not necessary.
But after hesitating for a while, I still couldn't be so confident.
After all, it involves the life and death of your company, so it naturally needs to be treated with caution.
The investment in this drama is not small this time. Even if Tongji Entertainment participates in the investment, the copyright negotiations will probably take a long time to recover the cost.
"By the way, please inform Tongji Entertainment about this."
"After all, it is a drama produced by our two families together."
Song Li thought for a moment and then added.
"Also, releasing Xu Ji is a matter for the writers of our new drama."
"The news that Tongji Entertainment is one of the producers must also be released!"
Although Xu Ji's Tongji Entertainment was established less than Song Lili's company director, its influence in the industry is still quite good.
Xu Ji's reputation should be able to increase these people's interest in this drama.
"Xu Ji said that we should be responsible."
"They will send someone over there to help."
Song Lili was stunned for a moment after hearing the assistant director's answer.
This is a sign of extra trust in yourself.
But after thinking about it, although this drama is the key to the survival of his company.
But for Tongji Entertainment, there is really no need to treat it so carefully.
He knew the news. Xu Ji's recent film "Wushuang" had already made the other party a lot of money.
Even if the rights to this drama really cannot be sold, or it is sold out, it is still within the acceptable range.
It's really him who should be worried.
What surprised Song Lili was that within two days of letting the news go out, he immediately received huge feedback from all aspects.
