Chapter 98: Are all bosses so weird?
Seeing the directors and senior executives leave, Su Peng instantly collapsed in his seat, feeling as if he had survived a calamity.
He knew what it meant to make such a boast in front of the board of directors.
If things can't be done, then he's completely finished in this company.
But if you succeed, the rewards you get will be absolutely unimaginable.
So he chose to gamble.
Bet on your future.
Put everything on this one chance!
"Old Su, don't you know how many platforms are eyeing that movie? Even if you have some connection with Honghuang, there's no need to joke about your future."
A colleague who was on good terms with Su Peng walked over with a frown on his face, thinking that Su Peng's words just now were too impulsive.
The other competitors sneered secretly and showed disdain on their faces.
They know it very well.
Take the horrific box office performance of "Titanic" for example.
Not to mention exclusive broadcasting, the broadcasting rights alone are of great importance to them.
If the deal can be concluded, it can basically be considered a final decision and we will win the competition without any suspense.
But how easy is it to achieve?
A project of this level is simply not something that small supervisors like them can get involved in. At least the headquarters has to send someone to discuss it.
So they didn't say much.
Shaking their heads, they stood up and left the meeting room to prepare for the opening ceremony of the new year.
And not long after they left.
Su Peng in the conference room took a deep breath, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Chen Lin's number.
"Hello."
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Lin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Chen, it's me, Su Peng."
Su Peng said cautiously.
"Oh, it's Manager Su. What can I do for you?"
"There is indeed something I want to discuss with Mr. Chen. Is it convenient?"
"Let's get straight to the point. I'm currently filming a new CG, so we can talk over the phone."
New CG?
Su Peng was shocked.
Are you going to make a new game so soon?
But his mind was not here.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke slowly: "Mr. Chen, I want to talk to you about the broadcasting rights of the movie "Titanic"."
This time, his tone was more serious than ever, yet filled with a strong sense of trepidation.
"The broadcast rights for Titanic?"
Chen Lin's voice became low.
He did not answer immediately, but seemed to be thinking about something.
Su Peng's heart almost jumped into his throat, and then he finally said slowly: "Manager Su, you should know that I have rejected all the people who came from your headquarters. Do you think you have any advantages that can compare with them?"
This sentence sounded like a question, but in fact it was giving him a chance, a chance to fight for himself.
Su Peng knew it very well.
You must come up with conditions that can impress the other party.
"Can I ask why Mr. Chen rejected the people from our headquarters before?"
"Well, it's nothing, I just don't like him, that's all. My employees didn't even say thank you when they served him tea and water."
ah?
Just because of this?
Su Peng was stunned.
He thought of all kinds of possibilities.
For example, they are not satisfied with the conditions offered, cannot agree on the price, or do not trust their platform.
Just because I didn’t say thank you?
Are all these bosses so weird and capricious in their temper?
If those in charge of the negotiations knew the real reason for their failure, they would be so frustrated that they would vomit blood and die.
But it also made him understand a truth.
Mr. Chen in front of us cannot be judged with ordinary people's thinking, and he seems to value the character of his partners more.
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, he finally spoke: "Regarding the film's profit-sharing model, I think the people at the headquarters have already told you. With my ability, I can't offer higher conditions."
“But there are two things I can do that they can’t!”
"Oh? Tell me about it." Chen Lin became interested.
Hearing the change in his words, Su Peng's face lit up and he continued:
"First, I have already received the director's approval. As long as I negotiate this movie, I can be directly promoted to marketing manager. I can mobilize more resources, which will be very beneficial for future cooperation. And I believe that no one in the entire company knows Honghuang better than me."
"Secondly, I just heard from Mr. Chen that we are shooting a new CG. It just so happens that we are going to hold a New Year's celebration soon. Several colleagues and I will be responsible for arranging the program. I can reserve a spot for the program to promote this CG for Honghuang!"
B station new year celebration.
Generally, various celebrity UP hosts are invited.
It is rare to openly present game CG as part of a program, as that can easily cause disgust among the audience.
Dare to use this spot to promote the game.
This is enough to show that Su Peng has given it his all.
So after he finished speaking, he became nervous and even his breathing became a little unstable.
But there's nothing I can do.
With his current background, if he wants to take that position, he can only risk everything, otherwise he doesn’t know if he will get the next chance.
The workplace of middle-aged people.
Sometimes it's just so cruel.
"So, you are placing all your bets on us, Honghuang?" Chen Lin did not answer immediately, but asked back.
Su Peng scratched his head awkwardly when he heard this: "Well...well, I guess so. Mr. Chen, do you think I am sincere enough?"
However, what responded to him was a chuckle from Chen Lin.
"I thought you would say that your place is closer to the prehistoric world, and you have a good relationship after so many collaborations, so it would be more convenient to get things done. If you had said that, I would have agreed to it a long time ago."
"ah?"
Su Peng was stunned.
After a while, he finally reacted and asked excitedly, "This... does this mean that Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen, you agree? "
This happiness came so suddenly that he began to speak incoherently and almost jumped onto the desk in excitement.
"But I have a condition."
At this time, Chen Lin's voice sounded again.
Feeling the seriousness in the voice, Su Peng's heart trembled.
"What conditions?"
"You must ensure that you take the position of marketing manager. Although we are just a studio, you have seen how popular the movie Titanic is. Only qualified people can take over."
It is not uncommon for small factories to occasionally produce hot-selling products.
This is like being a nouveau riche in the industry. It is easy for big companies to look down on them and think that they became popular because of luck.
Although Honghuang lacks foundation.
But after more than half a year of development.
Not everyone can control or underestimate it.
Feeling his momentum, Su Peng also became serious:
"Don't worry. I've been in this business for so many years, and I'm not stupid enough to take advantage of others. With all my years of experience and Mr. Chen's support, I am absolutely sure I can get this position!"
"Okay, it's settled. When the time comes, just ask someone to come to our studio to discuss the contract. Don't forget the celebration spot you promised."
"Mr. Chen really intends to promote the game at our New Year's Eve celebration?"
"I didn't have this plan originally, but after hearing what you said , I remembered that we just lack a publicity channel."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange it right away."
Su Peng didn't ask any more questions.
Because in his opinion, what Chen Lin was talking about should be a promotional CG video.
It's impossible that he will come up with another big move like the one in "Titanic", right?
