Producer Wang was relieved to hear Ye Qing's words. He knew Ye Qing wouldn't do anything to harm the production team because he knew the terms of the contract she signed.
However, since they had never worked together before, he still hoped to hear Ye Qing's assurance so that he could feel at ease.
After all, compared to Ye Qing, Ye Qing is the boss herself, so it's indeed not good if she loses money, but she doesn't need to explain herself to anyone.
But I'm different. I'm called a producer, but I'm really just running errands for the people who invest money. If anything happens to the crew, I'll have to explain myself.
So when he heard Ye Qing's assurance, Brother Wang's heart, which had been in his throat, was temporarily put at ease: "Since we can cooperate so well, that's naturally the best."
After saying that, Brother Wang switched the briefcase he had been carrying under his arm to the other arm, and then shook hands with Ye Qing with his free hand: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Ye Qing: "Of course we want to have a pleasant collaboration. I'm counting on the fact that when your TV series airs, everyone will be glued to their screens. That way, my brand will really become a huge hit."
These words reassured producer Wang Ge a lot. After all, Ye Qing was also very ambitious and needed the show to be filmed smoothly so that it could bring her more substantial economic benefits.
Now that things were out in the open, and Ye Qing had expressed his attitude time and time again, he thought he also needed to know the other party's attitude. Otherwise, if he was just talking enthusiastically on his side, and then the other party betrayed him as soon as he turned around, it would be a loss.
So Ye Qing changed the subject and asked, "Brother Wang, our interests are aligned, that's beyond doubt. I can guarantee I won't do anything to make things difficult for the production team. However, you've also noticed that Yang Zi might not be well-behaved. So I'd like to know, if Yang Zi does something, what will the production team's attitude be?"
"I thought my stance was clear, after all, our interests are aligned."
Ye Qing smiled, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with the producer's words: "Brother Wang, our interests are aligned at this moment, but Yang Zi hasn't done anything yet. So, if Yang Zi does something in the future, Brother Wang's attitude will be more important. Brother Wang, you know what I mean. So, Brother Wang, we are all smart people. It's not good to avoid the important issues, is it?"
People die for wealth, birds die for food.
Brother Wang and Ye Qing didn't know each other before this collaboration. In this situation, Brother Wang would put on a good show, but when it came to matters of interest, he wouldn't make any promises lightly.
Although he knew during the cooperation negotiations that Ye Qing was no ordinary person and should not be underestimated, Brother Wang still felt that Ye Qing was still quite young and could not compare to him in terms of age or experience.
But I never expected that Ye Qing, whom I had somewhat underestimated, would be so aggressive.
However, Brother Wang still felt that although Ye Qing was aggressive and he had underestimated her, their relationship was, strictly speaking, like a home-field advantage in a collaboration.
This is a film crew shooting a movie, so it's obviously their home turf. Therefore, Brother Wang thinks Ye Qing should follow the host's lead.
So even when faced with Ye Qing's somewhat aggressive attitude, Brother Wang still didn't give Ye Qing a definite answer.
Although he didn't give Ye Qing a definite answer, Ye Qing knew that Brother Wang's attitude didn't mean he was on Yang Zi's side. It was just that Yang Zi hadn't done anything yet, and they didn't know how things would develop in the end, so he didn't express his opinion.
From Brother Wang's perspective, his attitude is perfectly reasonable.
However, Ye Qing needed a guarantee, otherwise, if Yang Zi did something and the production team sided with her after weighing the options, it would be terrible.
It's not impossible that the production team might side with Yang Zi. Ye Qing had already taken precautions when she decided to continue working with Yang Zi.
Originally, she didn't want to reveal her hand now, but producer Brother Wang was overly tactful and didn't want to make any guarantees.
Since that's the case, Ye Qing thought he might as well let the other party see his trump card first.
Even though nothing is wrong right now, it seems inappropriate to let the other party know your hand.
But there's a saying: "Put yourself in a life-or-death situation and you will survive."
It's just that revealing your hand to the other party doesn't necessarily mean it's your "death trap" or theirs.
But regardless of whose death is inflicted, according to this proverb, what follows is always good, and that's fine for Ye Qing.
After thinking it over, Ye Qing looked at Brother Wang, who was about to leave, and said, "Brother Wang, after our brand signed the contract with the production team, did you take a look at it? Or should I ask, did you read the specific terms?"
"What do you mean?" The producer stopped in his tracks again because of Ye Qing's words.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Brother Wang, it seems you haven't read it yet, right? It's okay, then I'll tell you the most important thing, and you can go back and check the contract to confirm it later."
Because of Ye Qing's words, Brother Wang's expression became very serious.
Ye Qing didn't let the other party ask any more questions and said directly: "One of the most important clauses in our contract is that, since our brand did not ask your production team for any money, as a principle of profit sharing, your production team cannot replace us and find other partners of the same nature during the filming, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract."
After Ye Qing finished speaking, he looked at the producer with a calm expression, noticing the surprise and anger in his eyes.
"There's such a clause? Haha, I can't work with this lawyer anymore."
Seeing the other party's angry attitude, Ye Qing said, "Brother Wang, you're just taking your anger out on the lawyer. It's not appropriate to blame everything on the lawyer. I admit that this clause is beneficial to me. According to the lawyer who works with our brand, he insisted on including this clause at my request, but your lawyer disagreed, and the two sides were deadlocked. Your lawyer consulted you beforehand. Otherwise, unless your lawyer didn't want to keep his job, how could he have allowed such a clause to remain?"
After Ye Qing mentioned it, Brother Wang remembered it too.
The lawyer did talk to me about something, but because I was busy and filming was about to start, the female lead's costumes weren't even ready yet, which was a big deal. Moreover, Ye Qing's cooperation was very sincere, so I felt that although this clause seemed a bit excessive, it wasn't something that could go wrong.
Since we couldn't find any other partners at the moment, we signed the agreement.
Wang's actions at the time weren't entirely wrong, since no one expected such a thing to happen, but there were definitely problems with them.
So after realizing this, Brother Wang thought about how to make amends.
