The place where Chen Minhao and Li Weijie met was not far from the teahouse, and it took about 10 minutes to drive there.
Since Si Ruoyan had a car, Chen Minhao did not ask Chen Qiang to see him off, but asked Si Ruoyan to drive him to the appointed hotel to meet him.
The hotel is not big but looks very clean. Chen Minhao, who was wearing a mask, told the waiter the private room number, and the two of them were taken in directly by the waiter.
Chen Minhao was a little surprised that Li Weijie hadn't arrived yet. After he sat down, he sent a WeChat message to Li Weijie saying: "We have arrived."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and saw that Si Ruoyan looked a little nervous.
"What's wrong?" Chen Minhao asked doubtfully.
"It's my first time meeting the director, so I'm a little nervous." Si Ruoyan's voice was very hesitant: "Have you talked to him about the concert before?"
Chen Minhao shook his head and said, "No."
Si Ruoyan's expression was a little stiff: "Then you should have a good relationship with him, right?"
Chen Minhao recalled that he and Li Weijie had not seen each other for two years. They had no contact with each other on weekdays, so they only sent text messages to greet them during holidays.
Moreover, during the period of "Artist Trainee", the two parties had some disputes over the copyright issues of "Little Love Song" and "Sing If You Want".
But in order to give Si Ruoyan confidence and calm her nervousness, Chen Minhao said, "It's okay."
Si Ruoyan asked with some anxiety: "Then will he be willing to cooperate with us?"
Chen Minhao smiled confidently: "We are not begging him to cooperate with us now. He is just a Plan B (spare tire) for us. In fact, there are many people in the circle who can cooperate. If in the end we are really If we are in a hurry, vlogging ourselves is also an option."
Si Ruoyan nodded thoughtfully, and her face returned to its usual calmness.
Chen Minhao continued: "I am quite confident in his willingness to cooperate. In business, cooperation does not depend on the relationship between two people, but on each other's demands. Li Weijie is very smart. He knows what is most beneficial. choose."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
Li Weijie entered the private room under the guidance of the waiter.
He wore a gray hoodie and black sweatpants, and he looked much younger than he did two years ago.
After Li Weijie entered the door, he took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Minhao.
Chen Minhao asked: "Long time no see, how are you doing at the Kiwi Platform?"
Li Weijie smiled awkwardly and said, "I have now left the Kiwi platform and joined Penguin Video."
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the two of them would fall in love as soon as they met.
Li Weijie felt that the atmosphere was a little solid and added: "Actually, I only joined Penguin Video last month."
Chen Minhao showed off his acting skills and said calmly: "That's not bad. If you move the tree, you will die, but if you move the person, you will live."
After Li Weijie sat down, he took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, you came to me for that concert variety show."
Chen Minhao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Li Weijie smiled and said: "You are so busy, of course you will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. You said you wanted to talk to me about something, so I can just ask about what happened to you recently. But I heard that you are now talking to Do you want to cooperate with Mango TV? Why did you think of contacting me?"
Chen Minhao sighed and said: "I came up with the idea of the variety show "My Concert and Me", and it has already been approved by Mango TV. But when it came to the last step, Mango TV asked for a concert The company must be the one they specified, but I don’t want to cooperate with this company.”
Li Weijie touched his chin and recalled that the boy in front of him made an "unreasonable" request in his office two years ago. He smiled and said: "Many people will be dismissed by this society as time goes by and age. Remove the edges, I didn’t expect you to become more and more rigid.”
Chen Minhao knew what Li Weijie was alluding to, and he said disapprovingly: "I didn't debut at that time, and I had very few cards in my hand. I wouldn't compromise easily. Now that I have more cards in my hand, why should I be timid?"
"Well said!" Li Weijie laughed and continued: "The reason why I switched from Kiwi to Penguin Video is because Penguin Video gave me greater autonomy. I am very optimistic about your idea, and I am also very optimistic about it. Looking forward to working with you again.”
Chen Minhao said: "With so much foreshadowing, there should be a but, let's just come."
Li Weijie smiled sheepishly and said: "I do have a small concern. This program on Mango TV is already finished. However, it takes time for us to establish and promote projects at Penguin Video.
"Mango TV has now approved the project. If you cooperate with us, they have two choices. The first choice is to give up this variety show, and the second choice is to choose a new singer."
Chen Minhao nodded in agreement.
Li Weijie continued: "If they choose to give up, the ending will naturally be happy for us. But if they choose a singer to cooperate with again, their process will most likely be ahead of ours. Once they promote it first, Then our program will become a follow-up show. This will have a considerable negative impact on the number of our viewers and the reputation of the program."
Chen Minhao nodded, agreeing with Li Weijie's statement.
Li Weijie took a mouthful of food and said, "Actually, there is a way, that is, don't reject them, hold them back first, and then I will push the process as quickly as possible."
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "I think it's okay."
Si Ruoyan was listening to the conversation between the two just now, and she couldn't get a word in at all. But when she heard Li Weijie asking Chen Minhao to stop Mango TV, she felt that she had to speak up. She was worried that Chen Minhao would fall into Li Weijie's trap. inside.
Si Ruoyan said softly: "Chen Minhao, do you want to think about holding back Mango TV?"
Li Weijie saw that Si Ruoyan had something to say to Chen Minhao, and he said very wisely: "I'm going to the bathroom."
After Si Ruoyan saw Li Weijie leaving the box, she whispered: "It's certainly a good thing that Penguin TV is willing to cooperate with us, but if we hold off Mango TV first and then let the pigeons go, will we offend Mango TV? .”
Chen Minhao said: "Actually, I have considered what you mentioned just now. But I think you can look at it from another angle.
"Mango TV insists on cooperating with Mango TV even though they know that I don't want to cooperate with Time and Space Infinite Culture Media Company. Don't they know that they will offend me?"
Si Ruoyan's cheeks turned red and she said, "I'm not blaming you, I just want to remind you of the risks here."
Chen Minhao raised his head, looked into Si Ruoyan's eyes, and said seriously: "Ruoyan, thank you. In fact, I am with you for my own good. I have indeed considered the issue you mentioned. But the current situation is that Mango TV clearly knows that I When they didn’t want to and wanted to cooperate with Time and Space Infinite Culture Media Company, they knew that it would offend me, but they still did it without hesitation.
"In other words, they know that they will offend me, but they don't care. In fact, I am the same. I know that this will offend Mango TV, but I don't care. Because I know that what I am doing now does offend them, but if one day I arrive in the future If I reach a new level, they will definitely cooperate with me regardless of their past grudges.”
Si Ruoyan nodded thoughtfully.
Chen Minhao stretched himself and said: "Showing the concert process to the public is a good idea, and I also have a trump card. If everything goes well, after this variety show, I will be the best in China and even in the world. Our overseas influence will reach a higher level."
From this perspective, it is most foolish to inhibit one's own development in order to avoid offending others. Because you have wronged yourself and helped others, others may not appreciate it. In this case, it is better to wrong others, fulfill yourself, and achieve yourself. "
Si Ruoyan originally thought that she was a thick black scholar. After she met Chen Minhao, she felt that she was just like a little white rabbit.
She was so worried that one day she would be sold by Chen Minhao, and she would have to count the money for him.
Si Ruoyan asked curiously: "What's the trump card?"
Chen Minhao grinned and said: "Of course the trump card will be used at the critical moment, so we must keep it secret first."
Si Ruoyan's curiosity has been aroused. She is so annoyed by people who talk half-talk and wants to hit them.
