Chapter 785 The consciousness of the landlady
At noon, Chen Feng stayed at Brina's place to have dinner together.
Sun Xiaorui’s side, 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 take Brina to a scenic spot.
The scenic spot we visited was a street with antique buildings. There were various shops on both sides. The prices were extremely expensive. Most of them were food, but the taste was not necessarily good. They 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 shopping in one store and you really see something interesting and delicious, buying it or trying it 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 we 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 are you back so early today?"
After Sun Xiaorui entered the room, 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: "It's a vice president and art director of Star Media. They are planning a large-scale variety show and asked us if we want to Mr. Lu was very interested in joining us, so they sent a representative to have a meal with us and then discuss the project."
"What kind of variety show?" Chen Feng asked a little. asked with 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 yet been fully developed. It sounds very good , but the initial investment is relatively large. Star Media came to us. In addition to the good relationship between our two companies, we also want to share the investment risks.”
At first glance, this kind of slow variety show 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 leadership. Because Star Media is the planner and initiator, they definitely want absolute dominance However, Mr. Lu disagreed. She also wanted to strive for certain dominance, such as the right to decide at least two fixed The number of guests, the right to decide which special guests to invite, etc., are not very happy with this project. He is very enterprising and his desire for control has become much stronger. Even if it is a project planned by Xingxing Media, he wants to try to fight for dominance.
It’s weird that Star Media can agree.
“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 celebrities in China. In addition, it also costs 20 million for publicity and distribution. Fee. Initial total budget is 80 million.”
< br>"That'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. We and Star Media Although we have a good relationship, we are all peers and business friends. , you can't really trust, you should be careful, don't let them fool you. Tell Lu Sijia what I mean when you go to work tomorrow. If you can't have a certain degree of leadership and supervision, you would rather not participate. . If she is interested in producing variety shows, she will definitely You can do it by yourself."
"Okay, I'll tell her."
"Okay, go and heat up the food. I just came back and I'm a little hungry. ."
"Well, I'll go and heat it up."
Sun Xiaorui, who had just come back from get off work and had not sat down 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 a lot of money. Not a bad deal.
Lu Sijia hopes that they can each submit a good TV drama script within two months, with no limit on the subject matter. The only requirement is that the quality is excellent.
General manager Lu Sijia 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 terms, but now that Wu Mengting has written and supervised the hit film "The Sapphire Case", her prestige in 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 and balance 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 outstanding and capable, he certainly does not want the company's employees to be too outstanding or outstanding.
If it gets to the point where his or her absence will seriously affect the company's normal operations, that's very bad.
Because in that case it is 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 has not contacted 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, a lazy person, certainly didn't take the initiative to call or send her messages.
Now that he had time to eat, 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 in surprise.
"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 Lushi dialect said: "You are A producer, not a director, doesn’t have to work so hard.”
Wu Mengting also said with a smile in Lushi dialect: “Because I am a producer, I have to set an example and not be 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 stare at me like this every day, right?"
Wu Mengting said: "The problem is, I Not only are the producers and screenwriters required to work with the team, but I am also willing to work with the team and can supervise the filming at any time. She is well aware of the filming progress and some of the crew's expenses."
Wu Mengting, the producer, is not only in charge of the crew's filming, but also in charge of the crew's financial power. She is originally the financial manager of Fengmang Film and Television. She is the director, and this TV series is solely owned by Edge Films. If she doesn’t control the crew’s finances, who will be in charge?
In order to prevent the crew from being tampered with or arbitrarily reimbursing, Wu Mengting kept a close eye on it, and every financial expenditure had to be approved by her.
As a result, 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."
"It's about Regarding financial expenditures, some expenditure items are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, so I won’t worry unless I personally keep an eye on them.”
What else could Chen Feng say after hearing what she said? As the boss, how can he blame his employees for being too responsible?
However, as her boyfriend, Chen Feng still advised: "You can keep an eye on yourself, but there is no need to work too hard. After all, you are only one person."
"Yes, I understand. These two I'm a little tired today, so I'll do it myself tomorrow Some unimportant things are left to the assistant, and some small expenses in the finance department are also taken care of by the company. Otherwise, it is really too busy and my body is a little overwhelmed. I lie down when I go back to the hotel in the past two days. Sleeping.”
"You have to take care of your health, otherwise by the time the filming is over and you are in poor health, it will be more than worth the gain. I won't allow you to join the team anymore."
"I know, I know, I will take care of myself. Physically." Seeing Chen Feng caring about her, Wu Mengting returned the favor. He was very happy and said with a smile, "Later, after the filming of this scene is completed, I will go back to the hotel to rest. I will not join the team at night. We will talk about it tomorrow."
"You know it yourself. That’s it. Take care of yourself.”
"Yeah."
......
The two chatted for a while, but because Wu Mengting was still busy there, they hung up.
“Didn’t you ask her when she would come back?” asked Sun Xiaorui on the side.
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Looking at her, she can't come back until the filming of the scene over there is 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: "Meng Ting worked too hard. It’s the same as Mr. Lu. Why do I feel that all the women in Lu City are 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, are very enterprising. After all, people who travel all over the world want to make money and get ahead. If you don't work hard, you can't survive."< br>
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 said with a smile: "It's true. If you can find two of them as capable subordinates, you can be regarded as knowing people and making good use of them."
Chen Feng was not modest and nodded matter-of-factly: "That's for sure. Including you. , Aren’t you doing pretty well in the company now?”
Sun Xiaorui said with a smile: “It’s all thanks to your boss giving me the opportunity, maybe I would still be a salesperson in the mall.”
Chen Feng also smiled 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 I can choose one of the many suitors that I like and follow him."
Chen Feng Shake your head and say : "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 have been able to work as a salesman peacefully and earn five or six thousand a month. salary.”
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. After you bring it up, I followed you."
Chen Feng was still a little skeptical of her rhetoric, but he still chose to believe it, otherwise Sun Xiaorui would have seemed too materialistic and casual, which was not in line with her character.
"Well, I am lucky 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 keep it in my heart. "
Chen Feng smiled and said: "I understand. People who are grateful are more likely to be happy. "
The two finished the meal chatting and laughing. Sun Xiaorui packed up the dishes and took them to the kitchen, while Chen Feng sat in the living room and watched TV like an 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?"
Hearing Zhou Qianru's weak voice, Chen Feng immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "Just wait. I'll drive you to the hospital right away. Are you at 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 and headed towards the kitchen. Sun Xiaorui shouted "I have something to go out", picked up the key and trotted out the door.
Thank you Grasshopper for the reward for destroying the universe! ! !
