Chapter 185 You must believe Chen Yan!
Lu Man also nodded and said seriously, "I think so too."
“So, I don’t want to disappoint him.”
"I actually have no problem spending his money. If I like him and he likes me, then when I don't have money, it's no big deal to spend some of his money."
"But... the premise is that I can earn more money for him..."
"And now..."
Lu Man stopped talking halfway, but Sister Meili knew what she meant.
The reason why Lu Man had the confidence to spend Chen Yan's money was because she had always been very confident.
She thought that it was nothing for Chen Yan to spend several million on her, because she could earn it back by making a movie for Chen Yan.
So she spent money with peace of mind and happily.
But now she suddenly found that nothing she had done could be fulfilled.
So the support in her heart disappeared.
This meant that not only did she fail to help Chen Yan earn the money back, but she also wasted millions of dollars on Chen Yan and even caused Chen Yan to lose tens of millions.
This is what makes her uncomfortable.
Sister Meili sighed slightly in her heart, then looked at Lu Man.
Then she was suddenly surprised to find out.
Lu Man, who has always been proud and strong, shed tears for the first time in these years...
She shed the tears that she hadn't shed even on the night she was hidden and banned...
…
A high-end apartment next to the Jinmao Tower.
Yang Nuannuan and Yang Rou were still sitting on both sides of the marble dining table, each busy with their own things.
Yang Rou was writing a document, while Yang Nuannuan was staring at her laptop screen in a daze. Her eyes behind her glasses were a little dull.
Yang Rou wrote some information for a while, then looked up at her daughter and asked coldly, "What's wrong?"
Yang Nuannuan looked at her mother a little aggrieved and said, "Mommy, it seems that we have encountered a problem with the publication..."
As the general manager of the company, Yang Rou certainly knows all of this.
She nodded and said nonchalantly, "I know."
After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to write the information.
Seeing Yang Rou's indifferent look, Yang Nuannuan said with a little grievance, "But... aren't you worried?"
"We have already made the movie. But we can't release it. This is totally unreasonable!"
Yang Rou raised her head again, glanced at her daughter, and corrected herself, "It's not that our movie can't be released, but the conditions are not suitable, and we can't reach a distribution contract with the companies."
Yang Nuannuan had a different opinion. She was always gentle, so it was rare for her to argue with others.
But even when arguing, her tone was not particularly aggressive, but rather a gentle resentment, "But...their conditions clearly do not indicate that they do not want to negotiate properly..."
As she spoke, she turned her laptop 180 degrees, facing the screen towards her mother, pointed at the rows of data and conditions on it, and whispered, "Look... this company."
"Their condition is to buy out our company's screening rights for 35 million yuan."
"This can be described as blatant robbery...Except for some imported low-budget movies, which other movies would be distributed in this way?"
After that, she paused, pointed to the second one, and said, "Take another look at this company."
"Their condition is to be the agent for distribution. But the distribution share is as high as 53%. We and the distributor can only get about 60% in total. They only leave us less than 10% of the box office share. I feel that this condition is also very unreasonable..."
"For example, this is even more ridiculous..."
"They asked us to pay them a distribution fee of 56.7 million before they were willing to distribute the film for us. And their distribution plan... well... it's hard to describe."
"I think they're targeting us..."
Yang Rou looked at her daughter calmly and asked, "So?"
Yang Nuannuan looked at her mother and said, "So... shouldn't we do something?"
Yang Rou pressed, "For example?"
Yang Nuannuan was a little speechless for a moment. Although she was considered a "brain trust" in the dormitory, she was at a loss when faced with this kind of knowledge that was not in the books.
So she opened her mouth, unable to speak.
Yang Rou shook her head slowly and said earnestly, "Nuan Nuan, this is your first internship in the company. This is your first job. So I can understand how you feel."
"But... you have to understand that finding problems is never useful, only solving them is useful."
Yang Nuannuan asked gently, "Do you have a solution?"
Yang Rou continued to write with her head down and said, "No."
Yang Nuannuan was silent for a while and sighed softly.
Then she looked at her mother's moving pen tip for a moment and asked, "So what are you doing now?"
Yang Roudao said, "A variety show plan."
"Some time ago, I received a good variety show plan. I think it has the potential to be a big hit. So I plan to perfect and design it to see if it can be produced."
"Once this kind of variety show becomes popular, it will not only make a lot of money, but it will also increase the popularity of the artists participating in the variety show. It's great that Lu Man is participating."
Yang Nuannuan asked, "So, the movie can't be released, so you can only turn to variety shows?"
Yang Rou's pen stopped suddenly.
She looked at Yang Nuannuan, and then said directly, "Nuannuan. There is something wrong with your mentality. You need to adjust it in time."
Even though her mentality was a little unbalanced, the expression on Yang Nuannuan's face was as gentle as ever, but there was a lingering sadness between her eyebrows.
She said, "Ah... maybe I really can't let go of this matter."
Yang Rou thought for a moment, put down her pen, and said, "Nuan Nuan, we don't need to pay attention to this matter ."
"As you can see, the publishers are really giving us a hard time."
"So, unless we agree to their harsh conditions, there is no need to talk."
"At this time, we need to focus on new projects instead of working on that one."
Yang Nuannuan asked in confusion, "Then you're not going to care about the film distribution?"
Yang Rou looked at her daughter in surprise, "Why don't you care?"
Yang Nuannuan, "Didn't you say..."
Yang Rou said, "The reason why we don't fight to the death is that we know we are being targeted. So when we can't solve the problem ourselves, shouldn't we give our trust to those who can solve it?"
Yang Nuannuan looked confused, "For example?"
Yang Rou, "For example, Mr. Chen."
Yang Rou, "Have you forgotten that he said he also found a distribution company?"
Yang Nuannuan looked at her mother with a look of doubt, "Do you really believe that the company he found can solve this problem?"
A question mark slowly appeared in Yang Rou's head, "Why not?"
Yang Nuannuan, "But he was not in the film and television industry before, and he has no connections or resources. Where can he find a distribution company?"
"Or... he will find an unreliable distribution company."
Yang Rou smiled slightly, shook her head, picked up the pen and continued writing, "You have to believe in him. He is an amazing man."
Yang Nuannuan: ...
Yang Nuannuan felt that her mother had been brainwashed.
Yang Nuannuan put the computer in place and began to sort out the conditions of these publishing companies again: compared to pinning her hopes on an illusory hope, she believed more in her own efforts...
After all, she still remembered that she went to Chen Yan's office a few days ago and saw that Chen Yan was not looking for a issuing company, but was speculating in stocks...
Speaking of stocks, Yang Nuannuan couldn't help but think: Hey. What was the name of the stock that Chen Yan bought that day? I also forgot to check whether it was going up or down...
…
In a blink of an eye, another two days passed.
These days, Chen Yan saw Lu Man's decadence and the anxiety and worry of the company's employees.
So he has been urging Song Chuang to get the distribution contract done as soon as possible.
Song Chuang, on the other hand, was not in a hurry at all. He always said, "I'm working on it, working on it, working on it."
Chen Yan didn't know what he was doing...
Just when Chen Yan was getting a little impatient, Song Chuang finally sent over several contracts.
As soon as Chen Yan opened the contract, Song Chuang called.
The call was connected, and before Chen Yan could say anything, Song Chuang's happy voice came over, "Mr. Chen! Good news! I finally reached cooperation agreements with several theaters and online platforms!"
"In order to fit the theme of broken love, I researched for a long time and decided to schedule the release date for Double 11, Singles' Day, and Shopping Festival!"
"After that, after I showed them some sample films and designed a promotional plan, they all thought highly of our film! They were willing to work with us on scheduling a large number of screenings and promotions!"
"I believe that with the added bonus of this festival and the cooperation of the cinema chains, our box office will definitely be no problem!"
After hearing what Song Chuang said, Chen Yan did not take it lightly. He first picked up the [Polaroid Photo Paper] that had been on his desk and took a look at it.
The box office estimate on the photo paper has changed from 300-500 million...200 million to 400-500-600 million.
Looking at the changes in the box office, Chen Yan finally felt relieved.
He said, "Okay! You did a great job!"
"Come to Qin Island in the next two days, and we will announce this good news together!"
Song Chuang smiled and said, "I have already booked a flight to Qindao. I will be boarding the plane soon. I estimate that I will arrive at Qindao in an hour and a half."
