Chapter 186: Honey Confidence
It is certainly a good thing that Song Chuang can come earlier and make the whole company feel at ease.
So Chen Yan said readily, "Okay. No problem. I'll arrange a car to pick you up then."
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Song Chuang agreed and said, "Then I'll board the plane now. See you in Qindao."
Chen Yan said "hmm".
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan picked up the phone and called the company's driver, asking him to pick up Song Chuang at the airport.
Chen Yan was busy in the office for more than an hour, then he made some preparations and went to the film and television company early.
These days, people in the film and television company are restless and people in various departments are a little distracted from their work.
The reason why they did this was very simple, it was because "23 Days of Broken Love" could not be released.
You have to know that Morning Dew Pictures is just a startup after all. All the people here have jumped from various companies. They have only worked in this new company for two or three months in total, so they don't have much confidence in the company.
Generally speaking, situations like this can be resolved, first, by time, and second, by a satisfying "victory" to increase everyone's confidence.
As a result, before victory came, "difficulties" came first.
The company had worked hard on shooting and producing the film for several months, and finally it was finished, but it was suddenly banned by major distribution companies in a subtle way.
For a time, faced with such a major change, the company was in a state of panic.
So, when Chen Yan came to the film and television company, there were always tiny discussions in the company, like a group of mosquitoes buzzing there.
Chen Yan listened carefully and heard a few words about the company's concerns.
"What should we do with our company? We can't release the movie we made with great effort."
"I don't know. Hey. If this project fails, it will be difficult for us to change jobs."
"I really didn't expect that the Xu brothers would be so determined to ban it. Does our company have such a big grudge against them?"
When they saw Chen Yan coming in, the whispers in the company gradually disappeared. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Chen Yan, for fear that Chen Yan would see the worries in their hearts.
Chen Yan didn't care. He looked around the company, smiled confidently, and said, "If you are not in the mood to work, take a break. We will have a meeting in the conference room in 20 minutes."
After saying that, Chen Yan ignored the employees' reactions and went directly to Yang Rou's office.
After knocking on the door, Chen Yan pushed it open after hearing Yang Rou's cold voice "Come in".
Pushing open the door, Chen Yan's eyes fell on Yang Rou, who was writing something with her head down.
Yang Rou has always had a cold and aloof temperament, coupled with her mature feminine charm, as well as her beautiful face and figure, making people feel that perhaps the kind of beautiful boss in TV dramas really exists.
Looking at Yang Rou, Chen Yan asked, "Are you busy?"
Yang Rou raised her head and realized it was Chen Yan. She shook her head, "No. Mr. Chen, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Chen Yan said, "Yes. In twenty minutes, I want to have a regular meeting to talk about recent events."
Yang Rou nodded, "Okay."
After that, she added, "It just so happens that I also have something I want to report to you."
Chen Yan looked at the documents on her desk and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Rou said, "I recently received a good planning proposal, which I think is very interesting. It is a variety show. I have perfected it in the past few days and plan to show it to you."
Chen Yan looked at Yang Rou with a little surprise.
Although Chen Yan already had some understanding of the abilities of the woman in front of him through Xiao Ha's Polaroid camera.
However, Chen Yan was still a little surprised to see that such a big thing happened in the company, but her mood was not affected at all, and she still had the time and mood to plan for the future of the company.
Chen Yan asked directly, "Have you not been worried about the release these days?"
Yang Rou shook her head, "No."
"I remember you mentioned before that you have a good publishing company over there."
"From that moment on, I knew there would be no problem with our release."
"The company's current issuance plan is actually just a supplement to your issuance plan. Understanding and comparison are not that important."
Chen Yan was really surprised this time.
This woman...what's wrong with her confidence in herself...
Does she also have a system?
Or... could her "intuition" about film and television projects also be applied to people?
While hesitating, Chen Yan chatted with Yang Rou for a few words and took a look at her variety show plan.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Yan got up and went to the meeting room with her.
Soon, all the employees of the company came to the conference room, even Lu Man and Meili, who usually did not come to work, came to the conference room.
Seeing the two of them coming, Yang Rou whispered something .
She said that since the film was banned by the distribution company, Lu Man and Sister Meili often came to the company, one to ask about the progress, and the other to discuss whether there are other solutions.
I guess the two of them just happened to come to the company and found out that there was going to be a meeting, so they came together.
After listening to this, Chen Yan nodded slightly.
After everyone arrived, Chen Yan cleared his throat and said, "I'm here to call everyone to a meeting today because I have a few things to discuss."
"Everyone has been a little impatient these days, which I can understand. After all, the most important thing about making a movie is its distribution and release."
When everyone in the company heard Chen Yan talking about the issuance, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Chen Yan.
Especially Lu Man, Sister Meili, and Yang Nuannuan, the few people who were particularly concerned about this matter, looked at Chen Yan without blinking.
Chen Yan looked around the entire conference room and said,
"However , don't worry, our company's release agreement has actually been confirmed, and the release date has also been set long ago."
"It's on November 11th, Singles Day premiere."
After hearing Chen Yan's words, the conference room fell silent for a moment, and then a buzz of discussion suddenly arose from below.
"The distribution contract has been finalized? Which company? Which department has finalized it?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard of anyone settling on this matter."
"Is it a small company? Or have we accepted the conditions of those big companies?"
"I don't know... no news has come out at all."
The people below lowered their heads and discussed quietly, and the company's executives looked at each other in confusion.
The director of the marketing department asked directly, "Mr. Chen, which distribution company have we decided on? We...seem to have never received any news."
After hearing the director's question, the conference room gradually became quiet.
Everyone looked at Chen Yan with sharp eyes.
Chen Yan glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's normal that everyone doesn't know. Because this is the company I found myself."
“It’s called Tiandu Publishing.”
After hearing Chen Yan's words, the people in the conference room first had a question mark in their heads, and then they looked at the people around them or who they were familiar with, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
There are only a few well-known distribution companies in the industry. No one has really heard of this company.
Some smart ones even took out their mobile phones and searched on Google.
I want to see what the background of this company is and what movies it has released.
When they saw it, they were dumbfounded.
Because... this company has only released three or four low-budget movies so far, and all of them were box office flops. I don't know if it has lost money.
The boss of this company may also know that his company is not doing well, so in the past two years, the company has not even issued any shares, and there has been no news at all.
After reading the introduction of this company, those who searched for it all felt a little shocked.
This can no longer be considered a small company, right?
It's a total shell company!
Our Mr. Chen, has he been cheated?
Since everyone was in the same conference room, information was not blocked, so word spread quickly from person to person, and soon all the employees in the back row knew almost everything about the company.
For a moment, everyone looked at Chen Yan with a bit of embarrassment...
The news gradually spread forward and slowly reached the front row. After listening to people around her talking about the situation of this company, Sister Meili was also a little confused.
She was silent for a while, then quietly pulled Lu Man's arm and told him the news.
After hearing this, Lu Man was also surprised.
She looked at Chen Yan.
After Chen Yan finished talking about , he started talking about Yang Rou’s new variety show.
She bit her lip and quietly sent a message to Chen Yan, [Chen Yan... have you ever heard of this company? I looked at the information and it doesn't seem very good. Don't put too much pressure on me. We can slowly figure it out later.]
Unfortunately, Chen Yan's phone was on silent mode during meetings, so she sent a message but received no response.
At the same time, Yang Nuannuan, who was sitting in the back row, looked at Chen Yan with a worried look on her face and sent a message to her mother, "Mom, this is the information about this company. You'd better take a look at it."
Yang Rou's cell phone was on her body and was vibrating.
Feeling the vibration, she picked it up and took a look.
When she saw the information sent by Yang Nuannuan, there was no expression on her face.
After reading ten lines at a glance, a hint of deep thought appeared in her eyes, and after a moment, it turned into a hint of enlightenment.
She replied briefly, "It's an acquisition, don't worry." After replying the message, she put down her phone and continued to participate in the discussion of the variety show.
Yang Rou’s variety show is actually very good, but I have to say that no one in the company is really interested in it right now.
After all, what everyone is most concerned about now is the issue of this publishing company...
Therefore, even though Chen Yan, Yang Rou, and several other executives were discussing enthusiastically, the people below did not listen to them, but were quietly communicating on their phones.
At this time, Yang Nuannuan, after receiving the message, frowned a little.
