Chapter 203 This Boss is Too Unfathomable
As early as when acquiring Tiandu Distribution, Song Chuang gave the reason that this distribution company had all the qualifications for the production and distribution of various film and television projects. This would avoid the company having to go through cumbersome procedures when doing other types of film and television projects in the future.
At that time, Chen Yan thought he was just looking for a reasonable reason to spend more money.
After all, he, like himself, can get "rewards" by spending money.
As a result, no one expected that these qualifications of this issuing company would be used in .
The new variety show that Yang Rou is preparing requires the qualifications for variety show production and distribution.
As the boss of the publishing company, Song Chuang also had to come and discuss this matter with Yang Rou.
Regarding the specific affairs of the two companies, Chen Yan has always adhered to the principle of not interfering unless necessary.
So when Song Chuang came to Qindao and talked with Yang Rou about variety show projects for a whole morning , Chen Yan called him and asked him to come to his office for a seat.
When Song Chuang received Chen Yan's call, he was still in Yang Rou's office.
After hanging up the phone, Song Chuang smiled and said to Yang Rou, "Boss Yang, I was originally planning to have dinner with you, but it seems I have to go find our boss."
Hearing Song Chuang's words, Yang Rou couldn't help but reveal a hint of deep thought in her eyes.
Because she remembered the hint Chen Yan gave her two days ago.
In the past two days, she has been quietly conducting investigations in the company. Although some people have received contacts from headhunters, no one is interested. They all want to stay in Morning Dew Pictures.
If someone else said this, Yang Rou might think that the other person was wrong.
But because it was Chen Yan, Yang Rou felt that there must be something she had not noticed.
If the problem didn't happen in my company, then it was probably caused by someone from another company. And that person was on good terms with me and had connections with me.
Now combined with Chen Yan's phone call, Yang Rou is almost 60% sure that it was Song Chuang.
So she thought about it quietly and said, "Okay, Mr. Song. Since the boss wants to see you, I won't keep you here."
After that, she added calmly, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Qin Island, so you should have a good chat with the boss."
Song Chuang has been working in the film and television industry for many years and is a very capable person.
Even though Yang Rou's words sounded meaningless on the surface, combined with the change in her tone, Song Chuang always felt... there seemed to be something else behind her words.
Let yourself have a good chat with your boss?
Could it be... that the boss knew something?
Song Chuang, who already felt a little guilty, couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts...
Ever since he had dinner with the Xu Zhaorong brothers last time, Song Chuang has been a little hesitant.
At that time, he really wanted to reject the brothers directly.
However, Xu Zhaorong's words made him listen to Xu Zhaorong's conditions quietly.
The result was somewhat unexpectedly generous to him.
The Xu brothers invested 100 million yuan in the early stage, accounting for 40% of the shares. Song Chuang only needs to invest 10 million yuan, plus the binding for the next 10 years, to obtain 60% of the shares.
After the new company was established, Song Chuang had absolute control over it.
Not only that, the Xu brothers will also share resources with this new company. Not only can they participate in projects together, but they can also borrow and hire the Xu brothers' related filming equipment, venues, and even actors and personnel at cost price.
This is equivalent to supporting Song Chuang step by step in starting a new company.
Song Chuang has indeed accumulated a lot of connections and resources in the film and television industry over the years, but... can that be compared with the top three companies in the industry?
There's no comparison at all!
Xu Brothers Pictures is a large film and television group that integrates actor agency, film and television production, and distribution.
It has complete and cheap resources and manpower.
For example, when Chen Yan produced "Love Is Not Blind", the original production cost was 10 million, but it ended up costing 25 million.
If Xu Brothers Pictures were to do it, it would probably cost 8 million.
The remaining tens of millions are all profits.
What's more, the Xu brothers were willing to give 100 million yuan in start-up capital, and the shareholding was very good, which made Song Chuang even more excited.
Because this is much better than the conditions he had discussed with Chen Yan.
The only two things that made him hesitate were
First, Chen Yan was very kind to him. Under Chen Yan's command, he had a high degree of freedom and felt very comfortable.
Secondly, Chen Yan offered him a very high salary. Although it has not been paid yet, he can earn four or five million just by releasing this movie.
If you look at it this way, he can earn 100 million yuan in a few years at Chen Yan's company. This is cash in hand.
It is much faster than sharing dividends with the new company in partnership with the Xu brothers, or waiting for the listing to get the money.
Therefore, he was slow to make up his mind.
Originally, he was not in a hurry. The Xu brothers didn't give him a deadline anyway. He thought he would take it one step at a time.
As a result, when Yang Rou reminded him, he suddenly felt a little panicked.
Could it be that... Xu Group offered him good conditions, but Chen Yan knew about his hesitation?
Thinking of this, although Song Chuang felt that the possibility was not high, he was still a little worried.
Just like that, after thinking about many details about whether he had been exposed or not on the way, Song Chuang came to Chen Yan's game company.
After entering the game company, Song Chuang took a quick look and saw that the company was in full swing and they were happily discussing a new game.
Looking at the smiles and excitement on the employees' faces, Song Chuang knew that they felt a sense of belonging to the company from the bottom of their hearts and were fully exerting their subjective initiative to work for the company.
" I am not an ordinary boss."
After sighing, Song Chuang came to the door of Chen Yan's office.
He straightened his clothes and knocked on the door respectfully.
After a moment, Chen Yan's steady and powerful voice rang out from inside the door, "Please come in."
Song Chuang pushed open the door and walked into the office.
When seeing his boss again, Song Chuang’s first reaction was “young”.
Even though he had met Chen Yan many times, every time he saw Chen Yan again, Song Chuang felt a little sad about his boss's youth.
And the second reaction was... the demeanor of this young boss of mine was becoming more and more extraordinary.
Maybe because the company has grown, maybe because of the victory after victory, his boss has gradually started to have the aura of a superior. Although this aura is still very weak, it is already something that people dare not underestimate.
Suppressing his inner thoughts, Song Chuang smiled and greeted Chen Yan, "Mr. Chen. Are you looking for me?"
Chen Yan, who was sitting behind his desk, stood up with a smile and said, "Yes. I want to talk to you about something."
As he spoke, he walked out from behind his desk, gestured for Song Chuang to sit on the sofa, and said, "Come on. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Song Chuang sat down obediently.
Chen Yan poured him a glass of water and placed it in front of him, then he sat down and chatted casually about the company's recent development issues.
Hearing that Chen Yan was just asking normal questions, Song Chuang gradually felt relieved and began to answer normally.
The two chatted like this for more than ten minutes.
Just when Song Chuang thought that he was just daydreaming and Yang Rougan, the junior executive, might have just been talking casually.
Suddenly, Chen Yan changed the subject and asked with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Song. Has anyone contacted you recently?"
When Song Chuang heard Chen Yan's words, his heart skipped a beat.
He tried his best to adjust his expression and said calmly, "No."
“Who will contact me?”
After he finished speaking, he found that the boss opposite him was looking at him and smiling.
That smile seemed unfathomable, as if it could see through people's hearts.
For a moment, he felt as if Chen Yan had seen through him, and all the secrets in his heart were exposed without any cover.
He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He felt a sense of regret...
That feeling only lasted for a moment, and then he saw his boss silently picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Song Chuang's heartbeat began to accelerate.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
Could it be that my boss really knew about this?
This shouldn’t be the case…
At that time, only I and the Xu brothers met.
I couldn't possibly tell him.
Then...it couldn't be that the Xu brothers told the secret, right?
Why did they inform on others? To sow discord?
impossible.
During his communication with the Xu brothers, Song Chuang was sure that they really wanted to poach him.
If it was just a strategy to sow discord, there would be no need for Xu Zhaorong to show up in person.
And just when Song Chuang was having all kinds of wild thoughts.
Chen Yan, who was sitting opposite him, spoke slowly, "Old Song. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I feel that the cooperation is quite pleasant."
"You should also know what kind of person I am."
"As long as you work for me sincerely, I will never treat you unfairly."
"It's easy to work for me. I don't ask for any profit from you. I just ask you to help me promote the project that Lu Man is involved in."
At this point, Chen Yan sat up straight, holding the water cup, and looked at him sharply, "You spent almost 50 million on the first project. According to the dividends we agreed on, you can get 5 million."
“It’s only been three months, and it’s a very ordinary project.”
"If there's more, then you can make 20 or 30 million a year. That's easy, right?"
"Isn't this kind of treatment much better than going somewhere else, having to look at other people's faces, taking resources and money, and working for profits and listing every day?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Song Chuang's face turned pale.
There was only one thought in his mind.
"Mr. Chen knows. He must know..."
"After all, it's just a matter of saying it out loud."
For a moment, Song Chuang was a little panicked.
