Lin Yi returned to the office, turned on his computer, turned up the volume to the maximum, and bought a newly released horror game on Steam. He was just about to experience it when Wang Jie knocked on the door and walked in.
"Director, I'm sorry to disturb you while you're playing games..." Wang Jie's forehead was covered with sweat. He thought that there was no director who would start playing games as soon as he arrived at the company.
"Oh, it's okay. This is a stand-alone game. It doesn't matter if I'm interrupted." Lin Yi said calmly with his fingers crossed.
Wang Jie, holding a pile of documents in her hands, said embarrassedly: "Excuse me, is the director free at noon?"
When Lin Yi heard this, he thought, isn't lunch ready? He smiled and said, "Why do you want to treat me to a meal? No need. It's not easy for you to make money, right? Let's just have a meal in the cafeteria."
Wang Jie broke out in a sweat again, thinking that this director was either playing games or thinking about eating. It was only because he had recently raised 300 million yuan in investment that she had some trust in Lin Yi.
Otherwise, people would definitely think that Lin Yi came here to eat and wait for death.
"No, I have a social event at noon. I was originally planning to take my assistant with me, but because of an urgent task, I couldn't get away, so I asked the director to go instead. I don't know..." Wang Jie asked tentatively.
Socializing? Lin Yi scratched his head. He knew there was a socializing event for a director to sign a contract today. He just took a look at the director's information and it was okay, so he simply checked it out.
As for socializing, Lin Yi never liked it, and Wang Jie knew it, so she looked at him with such a nervous and pitiful look.
"Is this social event for that director?"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Jie perked up immediately after hearing this, and cried in her heart. It turned out that the director also read their emails. She thought Lin Yi had never opened that thing.
"This director is Huang Shan, a Shandong native who has recently gained some fame. His last film, The Swindler, earned 20 million at the box office with an investment of 3 million, which made him famous. He contacted us this time and wanted to shoot a film with an investment of more than 5 million. He probably also wanted to use our company's platform and funds to showcase his talents."
Lin Yi held his chin up in thought for a moment and asked, "So he took the initiative to invite us to talk, right?"
Wang Jie knew that Lin Yi thought there was room for bargaining when he saw the other party actively came to negotiate, so she said: "Although he took the initiative, because our company is very short of people, and this director is very popular recently, there are many companies that want to negotiate with him, including some of the film and television giants in the industry."
"It's just that our company has just been listed and operated for a short time. Many new directors want to come to our company. If they can make some achievements, they can become our head director."
"In entertainment companies, it is common to promote people based on seniority."
After listening to this, Lin Yi understood what was going on. The reason why Ning's Film and Television Company is so popular among many new directors is that these directors don't want to be the "tail" of a phoenix in a big company, so they can only come to them to be the "head".
If it succeeds and becomes a big hit at the box office, you will be considered a founding hero of the film and television company and will receive high treatment.
"Originally, I wanted to take a look at his scripts, and then take a look at his personality, work ethics, and so on, and then make a comprehensive judgment on whether to sign him. But I have something more important on hand, so I can only let you, the director, do it for me."
"I think you were the one who negotiated the company's Hong Kong business this time. I think you can definitely handle this small job."
