Chapter 392: A Strong Alliance: A Lean Camel is Bigger than a Horse
"Aunt, I'll tell you what I am saying. Just talk to me. You have to call him over."
Tang Qing looked at Ye Zhengfang and said, "A young aunt" made Su Yang completely stunned. What's going on? Ye Zhengfang is Tang Qing's young aunt, and they have different surnames.
Looking at Su Yang's expression, Ye Zhengfang also laughed.
"Su Yang, let me introduce you. Mr. Ye, she's my aunt, but she took my grandmother's last name."
Tang Qing said with a smile.
"Dear"
Su Yang asked in confusion. He had researched some information about Tang Qing before, but he hadn't found this.
"Dear, haha, don't worry about it. As for why I have an aunt, that's a matter of my grandfather's generation. In short, you just need to know that Ms. Ye is my aunt. The reason why I entered the entertainment industry was because of the influence of my aunt. Over the years, my aunt also helped me settle many things."
Tang Qing said with a smile, and Su Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the old man was the real great man.
"Mr. Ye, you should have told me about this relationship earlier. In my heart, Sister Qing is my real sister. You are Sister Qing's aunt, which means you are also my aunt. There is no need to be polite when it comes to family matters. Aunt, tell me how you want to cooperate, and you have the final say."
Su Yang's words made Tang Qing and Ye Zhengfang burst into laughter.
"Auntie, I'll tell you what I mean. This guy was born in the Year of the Monkey. If you give him a stick, he'll just climb up."
Su Yang's call of "Auntie" brought a smile to Tang Qing's face. Ye Zhengfang also felt much closer. In fact, Ye Zhengfang knew a lot about the relationship between Tang Qing and Su Yang, even more than Su Yang imagined.
"Since you call me aunt, I won't be polite. I will call you Yangyang from now on."
Ye Zhengfang said jokingly.
"That's no problem at all. I've never had an aunt since I was a child, so suddenly I have one, what a wonderful thing. Aunt, if you have any problems in the future, just let me know, and I'll definitely come over as soon as possible."
Su Yang smiled and said, "Ye Zhengfang is Tang Qing's aunt. This relationship is very powerful. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Datang Entertainment has declined, Ye Zhengfang's resources and connections are still very powerful." Moreover, now that Su Yang knows that Ye Zhengfang is Tang Qing's aunt, Ye Zhengfang has the entire Tang family behind her.
"Yangyang, everyone knows you're talented. I called you here today to see if you have any similar scripts. Although Datang Entertainment has declined, the production team is still there, as are the artists. The only thing we don't have right now is a good script."
Ye Zhengfang said directly. As a long-established entertainment company, Datang Entertainment naturally has well-developed departments. Whether it's artists, filming crews, or talented directors, there are actually quite a few.
But the only problem is that there are not very good screenwriters and not very good scripts. In fact, in China, many film and television companies have a common problem, that is, they do not pay enough attention to screenwriters.
Often the budget for a work, the screenwriter’s budget is always very small.
They can offer sky-high salaries to directors and leading actors, but they are unwilling to pay sky-high salaries to screenwriters.
For example, if a director earns 10 million yuan for a film, the screenwriter would likely be lucky to earn 1 million. This is because well-known directors and actors have a celebrity effect, which can attract traffic. In contrast, well-known screenwriters fare much worse. This is why, despite recognizing the importance of screenwriters, people have been reluctant to pay them more over the years.
However, this situation has changed significantly at Qingyao Media, which also has its own team of screenwriters who earn a high salary.
These people were also recruited by Qingyao Media from other companies. After coming to Qingyao Media, their salaries were generally doubled, and the benefits were amazing.
Some have even increased their income several times over, and the working atmosphere is very good with generous bonuses.
Of course, these expenditures also have rich returns. For example, Su Yang is no longer involved in the script of "Love Apartment", but the writing team still polished the script very well, ensuring the longevity of this IP.
Another example is "Wulin Wai Zhuan." The first season of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has already aired 80 episodes. However, Qingyao Media is unwilling to give up this IP, and the entire writing team is currently polishing the script for the second season.
Although progress is slow, we are following the same pattern and using the first season as a reference, so far the progress is good. Once the script is polished, the second season can start filming. As long as we put in the effort, this IP can still become a cash cow.
There are countless examples like this. Whether it's a TV series, a movie, or anime, the core thing is the story. Without a good script, no matter how great the director is, he can't make a good work, and no matter how great the actors are, they can't perform a good work.
"Auntie, the script is fine. I'll go back and think about what kind of subject you want."
Su Yang's words made Ye Zhengfang stunned, and this expression made Tang Qing laugh.
"Haha, aunt, just tell me what you want to talk about. This bastard has so many stories in his head. Anyway, since he has mentioned it, just speak up."
Tang Qing was mysteriously confident in Su Yang's talent. Now that Su Yang dared to make such a big statement, Tang Qing felt that Su Yang must have been prepared.
"It would be best if it were a costume drama. We at Datang Entertainment have extensive experience in producing this kind of thing..."
Ye Zhengfang said in a low voice.
Costume dramas, Datang Entertainment is really the success and failure of costume dramas. Because costume dramas are prosperous, but also because of their decline.
Nowadays, costume dramas have been over-produced by major film and television companies. Even Datang Entertainment seems to have run out of ideas. The stories they shoot are always not exciting or attractive enough.
In fact, there are still people who like to watch costume dramas, but the prerequisite is that the costume drama must be good. Many costume dramas nowadays are all the same, with the same routines, and everyone is tired of watching them.
After Ye Zhengfang finished speaking, she looked at Su Yang, and Tang Qing also looked at Su Yang. Su Yang sat there quietly, looked at the two of them, and finally nodded.
"No problem. I've written a script before. I'll edit it for Sister Qing in the next couple of days. As for how to work together, you can discuss it yourselves..."
Su Yang nodded. "Costume dramas, no problem." There was no problem with collaboration. There were plenty of good dramas in the market anyway, and it was impossible to film all of them ourselves. It would be great to take out some of the better ones and let others film them, and then make some money.
Ye Zhengfang laughed at Su Yang's words, but she secretly lamented that the little rascal only said to give the script to Tang Qing, but not directly to herself.
To put it bluntly, he still needed to discuss cooperation with his niece. Tang Qing's personality meant she wouldn't suffer any loss. Even though he was Tang Qing's aunt, she was addicted to voice acting. Relationships were relationships, and business was business. Even if she was his aunt, she had to settle accounts.
But Ye Zhengfang didn't care. They were all family, so it didn't matter who earned more or less. From Datang Entertainment's perspective, being able to cooperate with Su Yang was the biggest good news.
Ye Zhengfang no longer had much ambition. All she wanted to do now was take good care of the few artists who remained at Datang Entertainment. After all, during the most difficult times, these people had chosen not to leave. Ye Zhengfang was pleased with their decision, and even felt a sense of guilt.
Although they were brought up by themselves, people always strive for higher positions, especially in the entertainment industry, where favors are often not worth much. If these people left Datang Entertainment, with their popularity and strength, they would definitely be doing better than they are now.
But they didn't leave. They kept the Datang Entertainment building from collapsing. This favor is rare.
The atmosphere in the box was very good, and the three of them had a happy dinner here.
"Aunt, I'll ask Su Yang to take me back."
After Tang Qing and Ye Zhengfang said goodbye, they got into Su Yang's car and drove away. Watching the car leave, Ye Zhengfang sighed.
"Silly girl..."
Ye Zhengfang said this softly, feeling a pang of heartache. In this life, the most unfathomable thing is love.
Some people are promiscuous and don't care about anyone, while others are infatuated and once they make up their mind, it may be for a lifetime.
“Hey, you really have a script.”
In the car, Tang Qing couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes, I can't lie to my aunt."
Su Yang said casually, which made Tang Qing laugh.
"Tsk, you're quite good at yelling, little aunt. But if we can cooperate with Datang Entertainment, it will still be beneficial to us. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. There are many talented people in Datang Entertainment, and I'm jealous of them. But I'm embarrassed to poach them..."
Tang Qing's words made Su Yang look helpless. Damn, you're embarrassed. It seems you've had this thought before. You've already tried to steal your own sister-in-law's girl, and you're so cruel that you're even willing to betray your own people.
"Hey, you're stupid. I'm sorry for poaching you, but you can't borrow it. If you don't poach, we can just borrow it for a while. At worst, we can just pay rent..."
Su Yang said with a smile, which made Tang Qing's eyes light up.
"Oh, why didn't I think of that? Yes, if I can't dig, I can borrow. This is a good idea. Next time there is a new drama, I will go and borrow a few people."
Tang Qing's face was filled with joy. Seeing her expression, Su Yang showed a helpless expression. This wasn't something he instigated; it was something she realized on her own.
"When did you move house?"
When Su Yang drove Tang Qing home, he discovered she had moved. Previously, she lived in an upscale residential complex. Now, she'd moved to a villa complex not far from her company. This complex was an older one, with a prime location. While the villas weren't particularly large, they were quite expensive.
"I just installed it a few days ago, so I haven't had time to tell you yet. When you're done with this busy period, come here and congratulate me on moving into my new home."
Tang Qing said with a smile, and Su Yang nodded. After the two said goodbye, Su Yang drove away. After watching the car disappear into the night, Tang Qing turned and walked into her own neighborhood.
As soon as I opened the door, a small figure rushed over.
"You bastard, did you miss me? Have you been good at home..."
Tang Qing hugged the little Shiba Inu that she had just bought a few days ago, rubbed the little Shiba Inu's head, and her face was full of smiles.
