1089

The first board meeting of Tang Dynasty Entertainment Company was held.

It has a prestigious name, but it's just a small meeting of a few people in an office.

He Tiantian brought a lot of snacks, while Yuan Hua and Qi Xiaoyan brewed coffee and tea.

Everything was ready, and we were just waiting for the meeting to begin.

When Tang Qian and Qi Zhengmin arrived, they saw this office and the harmonious atmosphere of the meeting.

"You guys don't seem to be here for a meeting, you seem to be here for a party." Tang Qian smiled wryly. This group of directors was simply incompetent.

When He Tiantian saw Qi Zhengmin, she said with a smile, "Zhengmin is recovering well. Come on, since everyone is free to come to the meeting today, it's rare for us to meet. We should not only talk about business, but also get together."

"That's great!" Qi Zhengmin said with a smile. "I'm really looking forward to it."

Tang Qian and the Snake King exchanged glances. The women didn't want to move; they figured they'd have to take on the part-time job of serving tea and water.

"Come on, we're just a private company, and we're the bosses, so do whatever makes you comfortable," Qi Xiaoyan said with a smile. "Let's say whatever we want today and speak freely."

“Yes,” Yuan Hua said. “Come on, let me start by saying that the beauty and fashion magazine I’m in charge of publishes twice a month. We’ve already published ten issues, and the latest issue has sold 10,000 copies. The subscribers are generally people with good financial means or those related to the entertainment industry. At present, we have already achieved self-sufficiency.”

Jiang Wenwen's clothing and Wang Ying's cosmetics also saw a significant increase in sales due to the magazine.

"Wenwen, how about you over there?" He Tiantian asked.

“My studio has seen a significant increase in orders, and I’ve already started looking for a new office space as a branch,” Jiang Wenwen said. “Thanks to Beauty Magazine for the promotion, our collaboration was excellent, and we will continue to work together in the future.”

Wang Ying smiled and said, "Me too, we've achieved impressive sales."

"That's good." He Tiantian nodded. She couldn't let other businesses suffer just because it was her own entertainment business.

Tang Qian smiled and said, "It seems everyone is quite satisfied, which gives me even more confidence to grow our company. I invited everyone here today to hear your suggestions. I'm thinking of making a movie, and I've already received several scripts. Take a look and decide which part you want to film."

Assistant Li placed several documents in front of each director. These were good scripts that had been recently received, for everyone to review and then choose one.

He Tiantian and the others took a look. Two of them were stories about love among educated youth sent to the countryside, one was a case investigation story set in the Qing Dynasty, and the other was a martial arts novel.

"Let's not talk for now. Write down which one you want to film, and we'll see everyone's votes," Tang Qian said, wanting to see everyone's true thoughts.

He Tiantian, Qi Xiaoyan, and the others did as instructed.

People chose martial arts novels.

"Huh?" Qi Zhengmin was somewhat surprised. "Why did you all choose martial arts novels?"

Qi Xiaoyan laughed and said, "Movies about Qing Dynasty trials tend to be rather dull. The two novels about educated youth are also very well written, but it's a bit too early to make them now. Although ten years have passed, there are still too many wounds left from those ten years, and many people are unwilling to face those ten years."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "I agree with Xiaoyan."

Wang Ying laughed and said, "Although I have never been a sent-down youth, I think martial arts movies are more popular than those. People also hope to see movies that uphold justice and chivalry, with exciting fight scenes that everyone likes to watch."

“Uh, I’m not an expert in movies, but if I were to make a movie, I would design novel and beautiful costumes based on the dynasty in the novel. The costumes from those ten years are not aesthetically pleasing, so I don’t like them. That’s why I chose martial arts.” Jiang Wenwen said, referring to what she was best at.

"Li Xian, what do you think?" Tang Qian looked at the only two men in the board of directors.

The Snake King chuckled and said, "Brother Tang, when you're making a martial arts film, could you let me play a role? I'm very good at martial arts; I'm not interested in anything else."

Tang Qian nodded and said, "Since everyone has chosen martial arts novels, then I'll go with martial arts novels. Li Xian, if you want to try it, and your martial arts skills are pretty good, you can be the protagonist."

"Then I'll go back and think about how to act it out." The Snake King was quite excited. "Oh my, this is really interesting. I can act it out, film it, and show it to others."

He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Filming martial arts movies isn't our forte. Why don't we contact a film crew in Hong Kong and have them come over and give us some guidance?"

"Yes, we'll hire the martial arts choreographer or director from there. The plot of this novel is also very good, we can give it a try," Tang Qian said excitedly. "We expect to film for three months, and with post-production, it should be released around New Year's Day."

Snake King thought for a moment and said, "I've seen the martial arts instructors in Hong Kong. Their movements are rather exaggerated and lack the fluidity of true martial arts."

"What suggestions do you have?" Tang Jian asked, looking at Li Xian.

The Snake King chuckled, glanced around the office where there was still some space, and said, "I'll demonstrate a set of boxing techniques for everyone. What do you think?"

"Oh my?" Tang Qian exclaimed in surprise, "I never knew that, Li Xian, you actually know martial arts?"

"I'm incredibly powerful," said the Snake King. "Just you wait and see..."

The Snake King studied many human martial arts and created a Tai Chi style that combined strength and gentleness.

Just as the Snake King said, it was as smooth as flowing water, very enjoyable.

He Tiantian's eyes lit up, and she said, "Since the previous episode about Shaolin Temple made Songshan Shaolin famous, we can't continue filming. We can film Tai Chi! It's also a national treasure. The title should be Tai Chi Master."

Tang Qian looked at the script in his hand and realized that it did indeed overlap with the previous Shaolin Temple story. He said, "Tian Tian is right. We really can't make a martial arts movie with Shaolin as the main character. We have to find another way. We also need to make the storyline more dramatic."

“Yes.” He Tiantian nodded. “I think Li Xian could be the main character, after all, his martial arts are so amazing.”

After careful consideration, everyone agreed that it was a good idea.

Tang Qian made the decision, saying, "Alright, let's film Tai Chi, let's film Zhang Sanfeng! I'll have someone revise the script carefully, make sure it's a great one. As for the martial arts choreography, since Li Xian knows it, let him do it, we'll save money wherever we can."

"Okay, Brother Tang, I'll try my best." The Snake King was very excited. He wasn't tired at all; on the contrary, he just wanted to try more. Tang Qian's words were exactly what he wanted.

“Now that it’s decided, I’ll do some research and make sure to create a flowing and stylish outfit,” Jiang Wenwen said. “I’ll dress up our little cousin to make him look even more handsome.”

"Thank you, Sister Wenwen," the Snake King said gratefully. This was truly fascinating, far more interesting than the Demon Realm.

After discussing the most important matters for the day, the next step was to finalize the work plan and arrangements for the second half of the year, which were then approved by the board of directors.
