Ye Qing paused for a moment when she heard someone express a different opinion, and then slowly looked at the speaker. It wasn't a designer, but someone from the advertising department.
Thinking that this matter should have been handled by the advertising department, I felt that it was a bit of overstepping my bounds to go myself, even though I am the boss.
Realizing the problem, Ye Qing quickly adjusted her attitude and asked the other party to share her thoughts.
Because Ye Qing encouraged everyone to speak freely, the colleague who spoke up didn't think anything of it. Seeing that Ye Qing seemed very interested in his opinion, he said directly, "Sister Qing, I think we should do the same thing as when you shot that inaugural issue of the magazine."
Upon first hearing the title "sister," Ye Qing was somewhat dazed, because she was younger than Xi Quan.
Moreover, she went abroad to study, so she had children early. While others were still in college, Ye Qing had already given birth, completing this major life event in the blink of an eye.
However, because she finished early, Ye Qing is actually not that old. Ye Qing has never felt that she is that old, but now that she is called "older sister", Ye Qing was a little dazed when she heard this title.
However, now was not the time to be distracted, so Ye Qing quickly composed herself and asked, "What do you mean? The situation is different when I was interviewing for the inaugural issue of the magazine. After all, it was an interview where I was telling the truth. This is a TV series... so I don't quite understand what you mean."
"What I mean is that since it's a TV series, they must need to choose locations, right? Since it's a collaboration, it's perfectly acceptable for their crew to film at our clothing flagship store."
"And Sister Qing, what you just said about them being hesitant is that if our brand appears in the drama, the script needs to be slightly modified. Since they'll be filming at our store, with such a big sign, who wouldn't see it? Besides, this drama is about models and designers; it's really hard to find a store in Nancheng that matches the storyline like ours."
Ye Qing admitted that, being a salesperson, his approach to problems was much more flexible than her own.
Ye Qing had seriously considered what her colleague said. However, although she agreed with him, she still raised some questions. These questions were also a way of testing the advertising department's business capabilities. Ye Qing said, "I agree with what you said, but I don't think it's possible that we can't find a set to build with their film crew in Nancheng. Several famous luxury brands in the world have stores in Nancheng."
"Sister Qing, you're testing me, aren't you? There are indeed stores there. Let's not even talk about how the brand would never let the film crew film there. Even if they did, the film crew would have to pay a considerable fee. I think the producers and others in the film crew know what to do. Besides, if they could film in such a luxury store, I don't think their film crew would be in too much trouble."
Ye Qing had calculated this point accurately, which is why she was so confident when negotiating with the production team.
It seems my partners are also very confident, which is good.
Ye Qing said, "I know what you're thinking. I'll talk to the production team about filming in our store."
The production team hasn't given me any feedback yet, so I'm not sure if they'll ultimately cooperate with us.
Before we even started working together, I told you all about this so that you would be prepared. If you weren't too busy, you could try to create a few more design drafts. Once the collaboration with the production team is finalized, we need to be fully prepared.
Although I haven't read their script yet, I think that since it's a TV series, and considering the female lead's growth storyline, she'll definitely need a lot of clothes. Currently, while our flagship clothing store has a considerable selection, the focus of filming is on creating visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing garments, so the existing clothing might not be suitable for the actors. Therefore, we need to prepare multiple options.
After listening to Ye Qing's words, one of the designers said, "Sister Qing, it's not a problem to draw a few more pictures. After all, if the production team selects them and the actors wear them in the drama, and the drama is successful, we'll become famous too. But the key issue now is that if the existing ready-made clothes are not enough, we will definitely have to make more. However, the factories that we have been cooperating with for a long time are working hard to produce our current season's new styles. Are we going to postpone the current season's new styles for the sake of the TV series?"
"That's definitely not going to work out. Regardless of whether we end up working with the production team or not, we can't change our established plans. Our plans take priority. After all, even if we do end up working with the production team, it's just icing on the cake for us. We can't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture."
After Ye Qing finished speaking, she understood what her colleague meant and said, "You mean if we cooperate with the film crew, the factory's orders will be too large, and the quality of our new seasonal products may not be guaranteed, and it will also be delayed?"
Yes, that's what I meant.
If Ye Qing had heard such a question from a colleague before, she might have had to think about what to do.
After all, they couldn't let their collaboration with the film crew interfere with their studio's original work.
Now that Ye Qing understood her colleague's question and what they wanted to express, she immediately thought of a solution, but whether they could cooperate was still uncertain.
Whether it will work out or not is something that needs to be negotiated. This is my job. Ye Qing was silent for a moment before reassuring her colleague: "I understand what you're saying. Since the production team hasn't given us any feedback yet, there's no rush. We'll just draw up the design drafts when we're not too busy. As for the things you're worried about, they'll naturally be resolved once we've finalized the cooperation with the production team."
Having said everything that needed to be said, Ye Qing dismissed the meeting.
After returning to her office, Ye Qing started to get busy with her own things. It wasn't that Ye Qing didn't care about the film crew, but she felt that it probably wouldn't be that soon.
Furthermore, the cooperation with Nancheng University needs to be gradually advanced. Although Nancheng University did not tell Ye Qing when the next cooperation would be discussed, preparations still need to be made.
However, just as Ye Qing was about to get busy, the production team called her, saying they wanted to collaborate with her and see when they could discuss the details of the contract.
Ye Qing wasn't in a rush about this, but he was also anxious, because if it succeeded and the show became a huge hit, it would be an excellent advertising opportunity.
But to his surprise, the production team called first, which meant they were more anxious than he was. Ye Qing quickly adjusted his strategy. In order to take the initiative when discussing the specific terms of the contract with the other party, Ye Qing said, "Brother Wang, look at the mess this has made. I thought I would never get your feedback today, so I was out talking to someone. It was a pre-arranged meeting, and it's hard to back out now."
