After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 282: Big Pig Hooves



That day, boss Chen Feng finally appeared at the company again.

The reason was simple: the TV series "Mountain Order," which had originally been transferred from New Bright Film and Television, finally passed the review by relevant departments, obtained a license, and could be officially released.

This was undoubtedly very good news, and it was even more exciting news for their newly established film and television company.

Previously, the company had been spending money without any revenue. This included the drama "Please give me more advice in the rest of my life," which had just started the project, with money pouring in continuously.

Even an ordinary employee in the company knew that if the company kept spending without income, it wouldn't last long, and neither would their jobs.

In fact, the treatment at Fengmang Film and Television was quite good, no worse than those at large entertainment companies, and everyone wanted to do their jobs well and for a long time.

Now that the company was finally about to start making money, everyone in the company was very happy.

When boss Chen Feng arrived at the company, he saw that all the employees were beaming with joy.

When he got to the conference room, everyone except him was already there.

The meeting was still being chaired by Lu Sijia, the general manager. Once Chen Feng sat down at the head of the table, she happily said, "First of all, let's warmly welcome our boss, who finally came to report to the company after many days."

After speaking, Lu Sijia took the lead in applauding. Seeing this, everyone else also smiled and clapped along.

Everyone could actually hear the teasing tone in Lu Sijia's words, which even carried a bit of resentment.

It was understandable. Which company had a boss as carefree and Buddhist-style as Chen Feng, who really ignored the company after saying he would?

Moreover, the company had just been established, yet boss Chen Feng hadn't bothered with it for more than ten days, let alone personally coming to the company.

Of course, having such a nonchalant boss like Chen Feng was somewhat unpleasant for everyone, including General Manager Lu Sijia.

At first, Lu Sijia was mostly happy because this kind of aloofness from the boss undoubtedly showed that he had a lot of trust in her role as the general manager. However, after a while, she felt that she wasn't valued by boss Chen Feng and they were left to their own devices.

Chen Feng, of course, knew about the grievances everyone had, including the complaints from the two women, Sun and Wu, when they met him after work every day. They had been complaining in the past two days that he was too irresponsible, leaving the company to a few women and then not caring at all.

So, he certainly wouldn't get angry because of this. Instead, he smiled and nodded, pretending not to understand the implication in Lu Sijia's words.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. It's been hard for everyone these days."

Once Chen Feng spoke, the employees really couldn't say much more.

Of course, Lu Sijia was also a sensible person and immediately got to the point: "The reason why the TV series 'Mountain Order' successfully passed the review is mainly due to our boss. Let's once again give our sincere respect and congratulations to him with a round of applause."

Led by her, another burst of applause erupted in the conference room, and this time it was genuine.

Chen Feng could only express his gratitude again: "Thank you, thank you everyone. We all celebrate together. As for this meeting's main agenda, I believe everyone is already aware that we need to sell 'Mountain Order' and at a good price."

Lu Sijia chimed in: "Yes, that's the theme of this meeting. Everyone can give their opinions. How do you think we should sell this drama at a good price?"

Manager Xu Wei from the planning department was the first to speak: "Currently, there are five major video websites in our country. However, in my opinion, only two of them are worthy of cooperating with: Youku and IQYi. We should focus on contacting these two, then make a decision based on a comprehensive comparison."

Publicity Manager Pan Zhike nodded in agreement, saying: "I also agree with Manager Xu's view. However, we can also try to contact the other three video platforms and even a few other small and medium-sized video websites. Who knows, one of them might be willing to offer a high price. There's no harm in contacting them."

Hu Rui spoke up: "I know a vice president at IQYi, so I can contact her first."

Lu Sijia nodded: "Okay, you contact this vice president first, and then our team will follow up with negotiations."

Wu Mengting said: "I personally think Youku is more suitable. The reason is simple. The growth of IQYi's site has been very good and has always been ahead of IQYi. I believe our 'Mountain Order' can be a hit that could help Youku make a strong comeback."

Lu Sijia nodded again: "President Wu's suggestion is good. When negotiating with them, we must be clear about the subtle relationships between these video platforms, especially between IQYi and Youku. They belong to different financial camps and there is intense competition between them. We can use this to negotiate with both sides and sell to the highest bidder.

Of course, our focus will be on these two platforms, but we can also try contacting other video platforms. There might be one that thinks highly of our drama and is willing to pay a good price. Xu Wei and Pan Zhike will be responsible for this. As for Youku, President Wu, please handle the contact.

I want to have an initial contact with them first. If they're interested, we can then state our expected price range. Now, everyone, let's discuss what our offer should be for this drama."

This time, the chairman's secretary and vice president, Sun Xiaorui, spoke first: "The initial investment in this drama was twenty million, but because of the tough review process, it couldn't be sold. Now that we've luckily passed the review, we must sell it at a good price. If it's a buyout, I suggest the price shouldn't be less than fifty million, as it's worth it."

Liu Ying, who hadn't spoken yet, suddenly said: "I don't agree with a buyout. I think a revenue share would better maximize the benefits of our drama. I believe everyone has high hopes for this drama, so if we're confident in its success, we shouldn't choose a buyout but rather revenue sharing."

"I also support the revenue-sharing approach. Although I personally don't like this drama much, I know it suits the tastes of young people today, especially young women. Furthermore, dramas of this size are currently rare on the market; it's almost the first of its kind. So, I also believe it will become a hit, and choosing revenue sharing will maximize our profits."

Company consultant Zhao Guoqing indeed took care of his niece Liu Ying very much, promptly following up.

Upon seeing this, Sun Xiaorui frowned and defended herself: "I didn't say not to choose revenue sharing. I just said that if the other side insists on a buyout, our lowest price should not be less than fifty million."
