Chapter 721 Ambitious and willing to work hard
Chen Feng had no intention of banning Tang Jierui, and besides, he did not 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.
Actually, she knew about this last night, her secretary told her.
But this matter involved Wu Mengting and the boss Chen Feng. She could only remain silent and not express any opinions, and it was impossible to tell Wu Mengting about it.
The two of them 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 had no choice but to endure it, 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 officially approved the project for her second self-written and self-produced TV series, "Meet You Again in the Season of Flying Flowers."
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, instead of paying the salary according to the package price. The number of episodes comes.
This TV series is shot for 50 episodes, so the average price is 360,000 yuan per episode. This price is really not high for the 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’s only 360,000 per episode, which is really a friendly price.
This is also the result of Yang Ziying's willingness to reduce her salary. The main reason is that she likes the script and the heroine in it too much.
Originally, her contract company did not agree to reduce her salary, but with the ratings of the last two episodes of "The Sapphire Case" breaking 3, and Yang Ziying's persistence, she finally agreed. .
Mainly, I am 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. Her popularity is gradually declining, and she is in need of a new hit movie. The drama enhances and solidifies popularity.
In this way, this film "Meet You Again in the Season of Flying Flowers" can be regarded as directly selecting the heroine.
The script was completed two days ago, and has been reviewed by Chen Feng, Lu Sijia and other company executives in the past two days. Chen Feng and others all felt that it was good, and it was 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, Star Media was the first to rush to participate in cooperative investment. They invested in "The Sapphire Case", but the amount was not very large, but with the popularity of "The Sapphire Case", there is no doubt that Make a lot of money.
So, 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 their 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 in 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 in the evening As for eating, if you are free, 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 will cook two more dishes. You wait for ten more minutes."
Chen Feng was not polite and nodded. : "Okay, I'll wait for a while."
Chen Feng went to sit on the sofa and checked his phone to wait. Tang Xinyi went to the kitchen to continue busy.
After Tang Xinyi cooked the food and asked him to come over for dinner, Chen Feng put away his 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, looking very enthusiastic and making 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 not bad at all.
A total of seven dishes were placed on the table, six dishes and one soup, which was enough for two people to eat, which was considered a rich 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 happily Said: "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 okay, especially the The fish soup was quite 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. Under the introduction of Tao Yaoyang and Huo Jindong , got to know some upper class people 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. 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 have returned to the normal way of getting along as an old couple. They have not had any physical contact yet during 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 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 thought before If the company's shares are transferred and no one takes over, if the consumption continues , I can only apply for bankruptcy. So, I hope I can get an investment quota this time and be able to participate in your company's new project."
Chen Feng said: "If you want to participate, I have no objection. However, you have to know that there is no guarantee that this new project of our company will be successful. It will make money, no one can do that. Don’t think that if “The Sapphire Case” is popular this time, it will continue to be popular.”
Tang Xinyi nodded and smiled. : "Of course, I run an entertainment company myself, how could I not know You know that? As long as you give me this investment quota, I won’t blame you even if I lose money in the future.”
“That’s no problem. The initial budget for this project is 80 million, which is my maximum. I can give you an investment share of 10 million.”
"That's great. Thank you, my 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 mobile 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 for a moment, 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 think of it unconsciously. Her long legs made her mind sway slightly.
He didn't like Zhang Jingwen's temper, but he still liked 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 to do. I want to find you now that the company’s next TV series is about to start filming. Have you and Wu Mengting considered giving it to you? I arranged a role in it? When you signed the contract, you promised me that you would support me. Wu Mengting also promised to create a TV series for me, but so far there has been no news about it. An outsider tailor-made this movie "Meet You Again in the Season of Flying Flowers"
Zhang Jingwen’s words are not unreasonable. Chen Feng immediately switched to boss mode and became more patient with his contracted artist. He explained: "As early as last year, Meng and I Meng Ting met Yang Ziying and had an agreement with her at that time. Meng Ting said that she would write a book specifically for her. It took almost a year for the script to be fulfilled.
Furthermore, Yang Ziying took the initiative to lower the salary to participate in the film. It can be said that she is sincere and there is no reason not to cooperate with her. As for your script, Meng Ting actually. The outline has been roughly written, and the project will be ready for filming next year at the most.
Don't worry, she and I will do what we say. 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 about the same time, but now she filmed a TV series earlier than me and is now very popular. This is too 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 been far away from her for a long time. The distance makes her full of frustration now
Last year. At that time, although there was a slight gap in popularity between the two, it was not very big, but now it is obviously different by at least one level.
"We have explained this to you before, "The Sapphire Case". There's nothing you can do about the heroine's character in the play not being suitable for you. When the script came out, you hadn't even joined our company yet, not to mention it wasn't suitable for you to act. ”
"Then can you give me a more precise time? Can you tailor 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: " first half of next year Just start filming, there should be no problem. I will urge Mengting. If she can't write it, I can find another good script for you."
"No, I will ask Wu Mengting to write it for me. Script, measure it 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?"
I really wanted to date him. I 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 and went into the bedroom. Standing outside the bathroom door, she 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 shouting, although she felt a little reluctant, she still shouted He agreed.
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. It seemed to be very popular in short videos recently, but in reality, this was the first time Chen Feng saw him. Women wear this.
I have to say that Zhang Jingwen’s outfit really highlights her good figure in this outfit. She has a swan neck, a standard upper-medium bust, a small waist, long legs, and a tun...
Especially the long legs. , it’s not much 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, practicing Let’s practice and see. Anyway, it’s okay if I have nothing to do. There are no announcements now."
Chen Feng looked 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 today Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui worked overtime together. Of course, Chen Feng, the boss, 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 to eat takeout with her.
