After lunch, Song Yunran played a few games in the office and found it really boring.
He summoned Assistant Tang in and asked, "Think about it carefully, is there any document that I need to look at?"
"Not yet." Tang Zhu hesitated, "But there is a meeting in the investment department this afternoon..."
This was what Song Yunran was waiting for, and he stood up immediately: "You should have said something like this earlier."
As a result, he wasted two hours in the game and was beaten to the ground.
Assistant Tang quickly dissuaded him: "Mr. Song, I actually don't recommend you to participate."
"why?"
Song Yunran was a little unhappy, why couldn't he go to the meeting as the dignified president
Assistant Tang pushed down the gold-rimmed glasses and said, "The main content of this meeting is to discuss the next investment plan, which is of great importance. You have just joined the company. It is best to start with other jobs..."
Song Yunran understood Assistant Tang's subtext.
It means that investment is too difficult for him. If he wants to show his leadership ability, he should choose an easier job.
Song Yunran raised his eyebrows: "What if I want to go anyway?"
Assistant Tang looked embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Then you should try to speak as little as possible, and you can leave any difficult situations to me."
"Okay, I will listen to you when the time comes." Song Yunran readily agreed.
Assistant Tang didn't expect him to be so eloquent, and he was a little moved after being surprised.
Song Yunran glanced at him, and said as he walked out: "Anyway, I'm twenty... two years old, and I still know that you can be a good president if you listen to it. If you have any opinions in the future, you can also tell me directly. Let's work hard together to make money That's what matters."
Assistant Tang asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"of course it's true."
In order to show his approachable demeanor, Song Yunran turned his head, winked and smiled at the other party.
Assistant Tang was caught off guard and met his smile at close range, almost getting electrocuted.
Song Yunran's eyelashes are thick and curly, and when he blinks, he flutters a few times like butterfly wings. Coupled with the dimple on his right cheek when he smiles, the whole person looks not only sweet, but also full of refreshing and clean Youthful.
Assistant Tang plucked up his courage and suggested, "Mr. Song, then you'd better not laugh in the company from now on."
"Ah, is there something to be particular about?" Song Yunran humbly asked for advice.
"Because you don't look like a president when you smile."
"..."
A few minutes later, Song Yunran entered the conference room with a cold face under the eyes of everyone.
With a calculated reserve and arrogance in his expression, his eyes swept across the crowd calmly, and then slightly lowered his voice: "Everyone, go ahead."
The employees who were still obsessed with Mr. Song's prosperous beauty in the morning suddenly realized that he seemed to be a different person in front of them.
They didn't know what happened, and exchanged glances with each other for a while, but they didn't dare to take it lightly.
Song Yunran came half an hour late, just in time for everyone to discuss which projects to vote for.
He listened, and he found that most of them were self-made variety shows of the video platform, with the purpose of replacing the artists who promoted Xinghe with the resources of the platform.
The internal ratings of these variety shows on the platform are not high, and they belong to the type that is better than nothing. It is possible to vote, but it is not very effective for Galaxy Entertainment, which has been losing money for years.
"Next is the "Love Formula" that we will focus on."
The middle-aged man who presided over the meeting turned the PPT to the next page, "I believe everyone knows the director and the lead actor. The last movie they collaborated with won the box office champion in the Spring Festival last year. The market also has great expectations for the second cooperation between the two parties." Looking forward to it…”
When Song Yunran heard it, he cried out inwardly.
If he remembers correctly...
It just so happened that at this time, the middle-aged man took the initiative to introduce to him: "Mr. Song, there are currently many companies that want to invest in "Equation of Love". My opinion is that instead of following big companies to drink soup, it is best to stop and make movies the biggest." The producer, so that the company's actors can be inserted into the project to achieve a win-win situation."
Song Yunran asked: "How much do you plan to vote?"
""Equation of Love" is an urban theme, and the production cost is not high. I conservatively estimate that I will invest 200 million yuan first."
Before Song Yunran could speak, Assistant Tang next to him coughed lightly to signal him not to be impulsive.
In fact, even if Assistant Tang didn't remind him, Song Yunran would not agree.
In the money-burning industry of film and television production, 200 million is of course not an astonishing amount, but for a small company of Galaxy Entertainment's size, it feels a bit desperate.
And the most important thing is that Song Yunran remembers that the male protagonist of this film will be caught cheating in marriage after half a year, and the director will also be imprisoned because of a hit-and-run shortly thereafter. comeback.
In other words, "Equation of Love" was not only not released, but also caused all investors to lose everything!
If Xinghe Entertainment enters this game, his road to becoming the leader will collapse in the middle of his career.
"I invested 200 million at once, what if I can't turn around, and I'm not optimistic that "Equation of Love" will be a big hit." Song Yunran said, "Go back and re-evaluate it."
There was an uproar all around.
Until the end of the meeting, everyone still had doubts on their faces, obviously dissatisfied with his decision.
On the way back to the office, Assistant Tang asked, "Mr. Song, how about talking as little as possible?"
"I forgot when I got excited, sorry."
Song Yunran admitted his mistake frankly, but at the same time he thought with lingering fears that it was a good thing he insisted on attending this meeting, otherwise he might lose 200 million in a muddle-headed manner.
It can be seen that fate will not disappoint every hard-working person. Sure enough, only hard work can make you rich.
Assistant Tang became more and more puzzled: "You are so firmly opposed to investing in "Equation of Love", is it because you have taken a fancy to other projects?"
Song Yunran let out a "huh", and after returning to the office, he made a form based on his memory, which contained all the film and television dramas that were being prepared recently and made a lot of money in his previous life. He sent the form to Assistant Tang's mailbox and asked the other party to notify the investment department to contact those projects according to this list.
Unexpectedly, a few days passed in a blink of an eye, and sad news came frequently.
One afternoon, Song Yunran put his hands on the table and asked puzzledly, "Are you sure no one is willing to accept our investment?"
Assistant Tang said in embarrassment: "Uh... That's how it is. You know that people in the entertainment industry are very superstitious. Galaxy Entertainment has repeatedly failed in investment since its establishment, and there have been bad rumors outside, saying, saying that Galaxy is possessed by a god. , no matter what project, as long as Xinghe participates, it will definitely not make money."
"..."
"At first, several companies were willing to cooperate with us, but after other investors heard about it, they said that there would be no Galaxy without them. Galaxy is too small to compete with other big companies."
"..."
"Why don't you think about "Equation of Love" again?"
Song Yunran rubbed his eyebrows: "No."
If you really voted for it, the rumors about Xinghe being possessed by the Fading God would be confirmed.
Assistant Tang felt that "Equation of Love" seemed a very reliable project, but couldn't figure out why Song Yunran was so resistant.
But as an assistant, it is his job duty to share the president's worries, so he changed the subject and said, "Yesterday, the producer of a movie came to me on his own initiative. It's just..."
"tell me the story."
Song Yunran rekindled his will to fight.
"They have already filmed part of the film, but several investors have broken their capital chains and cannot afford the money. The producer said that he is very optimistic about this film, and he plans to sell the house with the director to raise funds. It turns out that Xinghe is looking for cooperation. Partner, I want to come to our place first to try.”
Song Yunran picked up the coffee cup on the table: "Why do I feel like they are possessed by the gods?"
"Isn't that just negative and negative?"
Song Yunran took a sip of coffee silently, wanting to refute, but couldn't find the right words.
Don't look at him sitting in the office all day long, in fact, the company's gossip is often heard in his ears, it is nothing more than a joke about his short-sightedness, and he must be reluctant to vote for a hot project that is certain That two hundred million dollars.
Song Yunran felt a little wronged, everyone could misunderstand that he has bad eyesight, but how could they misunderstand that he is a stingy person
This is an insult to his personality! He's never relentless when he spends money, okay
So far, it's just a matter of trying.
Song Yunran: "Then talk about it."
"The movie seems to be called..." Assistant Tang recalled, "Oh, it's called "Happy and Happy Events."
Song Yunran almost spit out the coffee he just drank.
No wonder he always felt that he had heard the story of selling a house to raise funds somewhere. Isn't this the first movie Qin Ke starred in
"Red and White Happy Events" is a comedy film. The protagonist of the story is a poor male college student. In order to pay off the debts of his family, he accepts the girl's 50,000 yuan and agrees to act as her fiancé and returns to his hometown to hold a fake wedding. Unexpectedly, the girl died of a sudden illness as soon as she returned to her hometown. As a result, he had to help her with her funeral, and at the same time had to conceal the truth to deal with her relatives and friends, which caused many ironic accidents.
This is a typical low-budget movie, the main creator and actors are not well-known, so when it was first released, no one liked it at all.
Unexpectedly, a few days after its release, "Happy and Happy Events" became a hit with word of mouth. In the end, it not only achieved a good box office, but also helped Qin Ke win the Best Newcomer Award at major film festivals in one fell swoop.
By the way, Song Yunran's first movie was also released in the same year as "A Happy Affair", and the final box office and awards were crushed in all directions.
Assistant Tang was still asking: "Mr. Song, what day do you think is more convenient to meet?"
Song Yun didn't say anything angrily: "What kind of appointment, let them go!"
Isn't it just that you can't find a partner
What a big deal.
Even if he, Song Yunran, died at a loss, even if the company went bankrupt, he would never invest a penny in "Congratulations and Weddings"!
A week later, the temporary office on the set of "Red and White Wedding".
Song Yunran bit the bullet and said to the producer in front of him, "Hello."
"Hello, hello, I didn't expect you to come to the set in person."
The producer shook hands with him eagerly, and at the same time couldn't help but mutter in his heart, why is this investor so unhappy all over his face
Song Yunran really couldn't be happy.
His investment plans were frustrated one after another as if cursed, to the point where he was at a loss while holding money.
After a comprehensive comparison, the most suitable for immediate investment is actually only "Congratulations and Weddings".
Although "Happy and Happy Events" will definitely turn Galaxy Entertainment into a beautiful turnaround, Song Yunran feels a little awkward when he thinks of Qin Ke as the leading actor in the movie.
The producers didn't think well. They prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha everywhere, and they finally hoped for such a God of Wealth. How can we coax the God of Wealth so that he is willing to sign and give money.
Assistant Tang who accompanied him reminded: "Let's introduce your situation to Mr. Song first."
The producer was kind and generous, and immediately praised the entire crew of "Happy Wedding" from inside to outside.
At the end, he offered to recommend: "Or do you want to meet our leading actor? He just graduated from the film school last year, and he has excellent conditions in all aspects. You just need to watch it to know that he is definitely a talent."
Song Yunran's nerves trembled, and he was about to refuse, but he suddenly reacted.
He is now an investor with wealth in his hands, while Qin Ke is just an unknown little actor. The status of the two is obviously high and low. Isn't it just for him to humiliate Qin Ke with money to create a great situation
Wonderful.
He tried his best to control the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, and pretended to say casually: "Okay, then call him over."
Not long after, Qin Ke opened the door and entered from the outside.
He was wearing the costume provided by the crew, a black shirt and trousers, showing off his broad shoulders and long legs. A small wall lamp at the entrance of the office shone around him, illuminating his sharp eyebrows and deep contours, and also illuminating his slightly puzzled look when he looked at Song Yunran.
But soon, he restrained his expression and walked in front of the producer, asking, "Are you looking for me?"
"Come on, say hello to Mr. Song." The producer pointed to Song Yunran.
Song Yunran instinctively straightened his back, raised his chin, and assumed an arrogant attitude.
This is a crucial step in the face-slapping plan. He must let Qin Ke know that he is a hard-to-serve financial father from the first meeting!
But in the next second, he saw Qin Ke ignoring him directly, and turned to Assistant Tang, with a firm attitude and clear words: "Mr. Song is good."
Song Yunran: "..."
President Xiao Song is not feeling well right now, thank you.
