The production manager called Ye Qing's mobile phone, but Ye Qing was in her office at the moment, and she was afraid that the office landline would ring and give her away.
So Ye Qing took her cell phone and went to the fitting room next door.
It's quiet over there, so there's no fear of being exposed.
When the producer, known as Brother Wang, heard Ye Qing say this, he didn't even consider whether it was a strategy Ye Qing used. After all, this matter was indeed urgent for him. It was better for everyone if the production started filming sooner. The longer it dragged on, the more trouble it would cause in the end, and even the actors who had agreed to the contract might back out.
He was genuinely anxious.
So when Ye Qing said he was busy today, he offered another option: "If you're busy, then how about this, our production team will have a lawyer draft a rough framework for our cooperation contract first. If you're free tomorrow, Mr. Ye, we can meet and discuss the details. What do you think?"
Ye Qing didn't say when he would be free, but the other party had already suggested meeting tomorrow to test Ye Qing, which showed how anxious the other party was.
Since the other party was in a hurry, Ye Qing wouldn't let the opportunity that was almost in his grasp slip away because he had to procrastinate.
However, agreeing to meet tomorrow directly was clearly not a good negotiation strategy for Ye Qing.
So Ye Qing said, "Brother Wang, I'm still out right now. I'll go back and check my plans for tomorrow, and then I'll call you. Is that okay?"
What could the other party say? Although Ye Qing was the one who contacted the production team first, it was obvious that Ye Qing wasn't in a hurry. Brother Wang knew that if he was in a hurry at this point, it would be detrimental to the production team when negotiating the contract, but he was genuinely anxious: "Okay, then I'll work on the contract first, and then wait for President Ye's call while I'm working on the contract. There's not much going on with the production team tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow we might need to discuss other collaborations, and we also need to go with the director to scout out locations. After all, it's a modern drama, so there are many scenes needed, and we also need to coordinate with the props team."
The saying "the more you say, the more measures you take" generally applies.
As for Brother Wang, he said he would just wait for Ye Qing's call.
But then he went on and on, revealing his anxiety.
This made Ye Qing even more certain.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qing went to find a colleague in the advertising department, the same colleague who had suggested shooting directly in the store during the meeting.
"Find the lawyer we've been working with at our studio and have him draft a rough outline of what your advertising department's ideas would be if we were to collaborate with the production team."
"Sister Qing, has the production team given us feedback?"
Ye Qing nodded: "They called me and sounded quite anxious, so we can take this opportunity to propose some terms that are favorable to us. But remember, our goal is to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation, not to take advantage of someone's misfortune. So even if it is favorable to us, we can't be too demanding."
Ye Qing's colleague from the advertising department gave her an "OK" sign, indicating that she understood.
Ye Qing also knew that the development of the Qingye brand to this point was the result of everyone's joint efforts. There weren't many people in the studio, but they all got along very well. So Ye Qing gave a word of advice and then didn't say anything more.
In order to make the negotiations with the production team more thorough, Ye Qing also told them about the basic conditions that she had previously discussed with the production team.
After writing it down, my colleague said, "I understand. I'll have the lawyer include a few more clauses in your contract, and then we can work things out or compromise with the production team as we talk to them, so they don't feel like we're being too aggressive."
This was exactly the effect Ye Qing wanted. Knowing that he didn't need to worry, he patted the other person on the shoulder and left first.
Now that the production team is pretty much set, the next step is to find someone to design the costumes.
During the meeting just now, a colleague mentioned this matter. Ye Qing said at that time that he would come to discuss this matter once the cooperation with the production team was confirmed. Although it is not completely finalized yet, Ye Qing could tell from the other party's words that the cooperation was more than 80% likely.
So now it's time to find a garment factory to cooperate with.
Back in his office, Ye Qing thought for a moment and then called Yang Zi.
Yang Zi was a little surprised to receive Ye Qing's call. Although the two had been in contact a little more frequently before because of Jiang Xinya's matter, that was an exception and not actually that frequent.
Now that Jiang Xinya's matter has been settled, Yang Zi doesn't think she and Ye Qing can say anything more. Besides, when she left the film crew, she saw that Ye Qing had also gone to the film crew.
Although Yang Zi wasn't entirely sure what Ye Qing was doing on set, she knew it was probably to discuss collaborations.
Since they are discussing cooperation and both work in roughly the same industry, they are competitors.
So Yang Zi couldn't figure out what Ye Qing meant, and asked directly, "I don't understand what we can talk about when we meet?"
"Let's talk about cooperation, Sister Yang. You yourself said that you've taken over a garment factory. May I ask if you have any orders at the moment?" Ye Qing asked Yang Zi over the phone.
Yang Zi was stunned for a moment. Although she found it unbelievable that Ye Qing had sent her an order, Ye Qing's question hit the nail on the head. Yang Zi did indeed not have any orders at the moment.
So, for this reason alone, no matter what Ye Qing wanted to see her about, Yang Zi felt she still had to meet him, so she arranged a time and place with Ye Qing.
There weren't many red lights on the way, so Ye Qing arrived a little earlier than Yang Zi.
Since Yang Zi arrived late, she didn't exchange pleasantries with Ye Qing: "You said on the phone that you were here to deliver an order to me, but I don't think you would be so kind as to do this, given our relationship?"
Ye Qing knew that the peace between the two of them regarding Jiang Xinya was ultimately temporary. Although he had his own agenda, his initial intentions were not bad, but Yang Zi did not trust him.
However, Ye Qing didn't care. She said, "I admit that I did have an ulterior motive, but my original intention was not bad, nor was it to scheme against you. I just hoped for a win-win situation."
Yang Zi blinked. "Tell me about it."
"You went to the film crew hoping to discuss a collaboration, right? I'll venture a guess: did the production crew reject you?" Ye Qing asked Yang Zi.
In Ye Qing's opinion, although Yang Zi approached the production team to discuss cooperation, the team probably rejected her outright. According to the synopsis Ye Shuang had heard, the clothing factory that Yang Zi had taken over did not meet the requirements of the TV series.
Yang Zi wasn't surprised that Ye Qing had guessed the result. She was silent for a moment before speaking: "From what you're saying, it seems the production team wants to work with you. Of course, I understand that you probably didn't come to me to show off, but just say what you really mean. There's no need to beat around the bush."
