Chapter 158 The last piece of the puzzle is complete!
…
At this time, Chen Yan, who had no idea about anything, was stroking his chin, still thinking about what had happened.
What on earth is going on with Lu Man?
You don’t even need any guidance yourself, you can just do it on your own?
Or...did someone give her some stimulation?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan opened the game and checked Lu Man's current location and status.
When the game opens, a Q-version pixel figurine of Lu Man appears in the middle of the phone screen.
At this time, she was staying in the dressing room like a little pixel man, with her little fists clenched, shouting something in a baby voice in front of Sister Meili.
I have to say, this Q-version pixel man looks very cute and vivid.
Even Lu Man has two little canine teeth.
But... no matter how vivid it was... it still left Chen Yan confused.
What is Lu Man doing?
What is she shouting at Sister Meili?
“Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west”?
Or is it "My destiny is in my own hands"?
But... this has nothing to do with confirming favorability, right?
Chen Yan scratched his head and clicked on Lu Man’s status.
Above Lu Man’s head was written [Talking excitedly…].
Her mood is also a little head with a "struggle" headband tied on it. Her eyes are firm and serious, as if telling that she has made up her mind.
There are few clues from Lu Man's real-time status page.
Chen Yan had no choice but to look at the changes in her emotional confirmation and favorability.
There is indeed some other information in these two relationship developments.
[Woke up by Sister Meili: Love +72 degrees, reaching the maximum value. ]
[Confirm your own emotions: Favorability +1]
[No longer confused about your own status: Favorability +7]
With a few clues, Chen Yan roughly pieced together what happened...
He looked at the pixelated figure of Sister Meili on the screen of his mobile phone and was speechless for a moment: It turns out that you, the one with thick eyebrows and big eyes, ruined my plan!
In fact, Chen Yan was very happy that Lu Man could confirm her feelings.
After all, he could finally put an end to this bloody "sadomasochistic love affair".
But... don't forget, this is the critical time for filming.
Chen Yan was really afraid that this confirmation of the relationship would change Lu Man's mood, and it would be terrible if he couldn't make a good movie.
The leading actress performed poorly and the box office reached the lower limit: 100 million.
Lu Man no longer accepts the villa, and he can no longer earn any share of the box office revenue.
For a moment, Chen Yan didn't know whether Lu Man's confirmation of their feelings was a good thing or a bad thing.
He sighed slowly, "Ah..."
"It seems that I can only work hard and go see Lu Man tomorrow."
"See what her current condition is."
"Can we film a movie..."
"Let's see how she will face me after her emotions are unlocked."
"Ahem. Could it be that after being single for so many years, I can finally use all the martial arts I have practiced?"
Um……
As for why Chen Yan didn't go to see Lu Man immediately.
Mainly because he had some important appointments to take care of today...
…
In the afternoon, Chen Yan met with two middle-aged men in a tea restaurant near the company.
Of the two middle-aged men, one is plump and has a round face, and his look makes people want to trust him.
The other one wore gold-rimmed glasses, was thin, and always had a smile on his face, making people feel like spring breeze.
Seeing the two, Chen Yan took the lead in extending his hand and asked the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, "This should be Mr. Song, right?"
After saying that, he looked at the chubby man again, "Manager Qi, would you like to introduce me?"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled and shook hands with Chen Yan, then said, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Song Chuang."
The chubby man also stepped forward and said to Chen Yan, "Yes, Mr. Chen. This is the former president of Quanmei Group and former president of Wanwei Pictures, Mr. Song Chuang."
Chen Yan smiled and squeezed Song Chuang's hand tightly, saying, "Mr. Song, I have long heard of your name."
The three of them exchanged pleasantries and then went to a private room in the inner room to discuss the specifics of the cooperation.
Song Chuang can be said to be Chen Yan's biggest surprise during this period.
In fact, half a month ago, before lighting the [God-attracting Incense], the headhunting company had identified two important targets for Chen Yan.
The first one is Yang Rou.
She has proven herself with her excellent vision for film and television and her corporate management skills.
And the second one... is Song Chuang.
In fact, compared with Yang Rou, headhunters have an even higher opinion of Song Chuang.
This is not just because Song Chuang's position is one level higher than Yang Rou's.
Also, Song Chuang's management experience, covering a much higher level and breadth of business, is far higher than Yang Rou's.
Yang Rou is a senior manager, but the projects she has been involved in are always in the film and television industry. She has never had the experience of running a company.
Song Chuang is different. He has been at the top of the film and television company since five years ago, and is responsible for the company's top-level design, capital operation and management of senior executives.
He used his outstanding abilities to prove that he could stand on his own.
This kind of talent can no longer be described as a manager. He can gain recognition from capital with his own abilities and become capital.
Therefore, even in the face of the top conditions offered by the headhunting company and even in the face of the prop [Divine Incense], Song Chuang did not simply make up his mind in the early stage.
Fortunately, the effect of the incense is lasting. As long as you are moved during those three days, the effect will not disappear after the incense burns out.
So after half a month of tug of war, he finally agreed to come and talk with Chen Yan.
After sitting down in the private room, the headhunter found an excuse to leave.
When only Chen Yan and Song Chuang were left in the room, Song Chuang asked directly, "Mr. Chen, Manager Qi said that as long as I can come to your company, you can set any conditions, right?"
Chen Yan, who had received a cashback from [Career Wealth], said without hesitation, "Yes. That's right. As long as you are willing to join our company , no matter what the conditions are, I will try my best to meet them."
Song Chuang was not fooled by Chen Yan's words. He nodded and said, "Then may I ask, what positions are suitable for me in your company now?"
What Song Chuang said is not without reason.
Chen Yan owns three companies. The game company is his own business and also his exclusive domain, and he does not allow others to interfere.
The only ones left are Chenlu Pictures and Luman Star Studio.
The presidents of these two companies are Yang Rou and Meilijie, both of whom are Chen Yan's generals. It is impossible for them to be replaced.
Therefore, there is indeed no suitable position for Song Chuang in Chen Yan’s existing company system.
He couldn't possibly lower his status and qualifications and become Yang Rou's deputy, right?
But... Chen Yan dared to come and negotiate with Song Chuang, he must have prepared a plan in advance. He said without hesitation, "Of course there is a position."
"I already have two companies in the entertainment industry, and I will definitely continue to expand in the future."
"The film and television industry itself is a team-based industry, and companies need to coordinate and cooperate with each other, so I need a general who can control the presidents of various companies."
"You are the one I am interested in."
"As long as you are willing to come to my company, I can reorganize the company structure and set up a film and television division. You will be the president of the division and have full authority to manage all of my film and television business."
“Although there are only two companies now, I believe there will be nine, ten, or even more than a dozen companies in the future!”
At this point, Chen Yan looked at Song Chuang and said, "How is it?"
Song Chuang smiled and said bluntly, "Mr. Chen, you are just making empty promises."
Chen Yan did not deny it. He smiled and said, "The big pie I drew may not necessarily fail to come true. Who knows, in the future, I will really build a business empire spanning all walks of life."
"By then, this pancake will also become a legend, right?"
Song Chuang looked at Chen Yan, smiled and nodded, "Just like the Eighteen Arhats."
Chen Yan never concealed his ambitions. He said, "Yes."
Song Chuang looked at Chen Yan deeply, as if to determine whether Chen Yan had the strength he said.
After a while, he retracted his gaze and said, "Mr. Chen, I feel that it is a bit too hasty to directly establish a film and television division."
"You don't have so many companies right now that you need to set up a division to coordinate them."
"Moreover... when the two companies were just starting out, giving them an extra emperor would also cause resentment among the management of the two companies."
"But I have another idea. You may consider it."
As he spoke, he took out a document from the folder he carried with him and handed it to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan curiously took the information Song Chuang handed to him. Just as he was about to open it and take a look, Song Chuang gently pressed the information and said, "There's no rush for the information. You can go back and take a look."
"How about we have some tea, something to eat, and talk about the company's situation ?"
Chen Yan didn't object.
He knew that talents of this level could not be poached by simply offering high salaries. Most of the time, it depended on the other party's own willingness.
Song Chuang obviously wanted to see if he and Chen Yan were compatible and suitable for working together by getting along with each other...
The two spent the next afternoon drinking tea, eating and chatting.
At the beginning, Song Chuang took control of the initiative. Most of the time, he asked questions and Chen Yan answered them.
But after gradually understanding his temper, Chen Yan began to take control of the situation. He used the excuse of taking Song Chuang for a walk on the beach to appreciate the scenery of Qin Island to start arranging the rest of the itinerary.
And just like that, an afternoon passed.
After the two of them had another detailed discussion two days later, Chen Yan asked the company driver to take Song Chuang back to the hotel.
After watching Song Chuang leave, Chen Yan strolled back home.
After returning home, Chen Yan changed into slippers, went to the computer desk, and curiously opened the information that Song Chuang had given him in the afternoon.
After reading the information at a glance, Chen Yan looked up in surprise.
Because... in this document, Song Chuang did not mention his salary, benefits, or even his job or position.
Instead...he made a bold request.
He hopes to cooperate with Chen Yan to open a film and television distribution company.
Chen Yan invested in the company, he also invested in , and then specialized in film distribution...
