Until the end of that day, Ye Fei did not give Yan Xiao an answer. He avoided the subject by making an excuse to get some water.
Fortunately, Yan Xiao was not stubborn. He seemed to be simply expressing his own thoughts and did not force Ye Fei to accept them.
Ye Fei opened the refrigerator aimlessly. As soon as her hand touched the bottle of mineral water, she thought for a moment and then took it back. Instead, he opened the freezer and took out a bucket of ice cream.
The frozen paper bucket was cold to the touch, which made his blank and swollen brain clear up a lot.
There was really something wrong with Yan Xiao. Time and time again, even Ye Fei, a piece of wood, could feel it.
But he didn't dare to be too sure, after all, this never happened in his previous life. The only variable in this life is his rebirth. But if Ye Fei said that Yan Xiao fell in love with him after his rebirth in just over a month, even Ye Fei himself would not believe it.
Ye Fei leaned against the refrigerator, unable to make sense of anything for a moment.
"Ye Fei." Yan Xiao's voice came from behind, and Ye Fei turned around.
"Don't you want to eat it?" Yan Xiao pointed at the ice cream in his hand and said, "It's going to melt."
Ye Fei lowered her eyes. The water vapor in the air cooled down and condensed into small water droplets on the surface of the paper barrel. It was flowing down his fingers and falling onto the ground drop by drop.
Ye Fei just grabbed something cold to wake up, and didn't want to eat it. But it was hard to say that, so I just opened the bucket of ice cream and scooped a spoonful into my mouth.
The sweet taste of chocolate spread in her mouth. Ye Fei frowned and swallowed it with difficulty.
He raised his hand and took a look, and as expected, it was Haagen-Dazs.
Yan Xiao loves this ice cream so much that he always has it at home all year round. Ye Fei couldn't figure out what was edible about this thing. The products from foreign supermarkets don’t taste that good, but the marketing is great.
Seeing his expression, Yan Xiao was stunned: "Don't you like to eat?"
"Hmm," Ye Fei put the paper bucket on the table and said, "It's too sweet."
Yan Xiao looked at the box of ice cream and murmured in a distraught manner: "You don't like it..."
Ye Fei felt that Yan Xiao’s behavior was a little strange. Should he like it? But he didn't think much about it, and just thought that Yan Xiao felt disappointed because he failed to find someone like him.
Ye Fei took a tissue, wiped the water off his hands, and walked out of the restaurant first, with Yan Xiao following behind him.
When they walked into the living room, Yan Xiao suddenly asked him, "What do you like?"
Ye Fei didn't usually eat this kind of food, so she said casually, "It's not sweet."
Yan Xiao asked stubbornly: "For example?"
Ye Fei thought about it and joked, "Old Popsicle."
Yan Xiao said "I understand" and watched Ye Fei walk into the bedroom before returning to his room.
The next day, Ye Fei got up early, ate the breakfast left for him by his aunt, and prepared to go to the company. Just as he went out, he turned back as if he remembered something.
He walked into the cloakroom, looked at the box of neatly arranged lighters, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and he took one and put it in his pocket.
Because of the traffic jam on the road, it was almost ten o'clock when Ye Fei arrived at Tianxi. As soon as she saw him, Gu Ruijia rushed over: "You are finally here."
Ye Fei casually put her bag on the chair and asked him while turning on the computer: "What's wrong?"
Gu Ruijia told the secretary to close the office door, pulled a chair and sat next to Ye Fei: "Juzi Video is trying to put people in our crew!"
During this period, Ye Fei did not just sell IPs. He also bought a silly script and gave it to Gu Ruijia to prepare for the filming.
Tianxi is currently operating on a small scale, and the film "Time and Space Rescue" has already kept the entire company busy, leaving them with no capacity to undertake any larger productions. Therefore, Ye Fei has set his sights on low-cost, short-cycle web dramas.
The script he chose is called "Please Wake Up", which tells the story of a pair of college students of different genders who exchange bodies by chance. It is a rare masterpiece with lots of laughs, brisk pace and touching moments.
At this time, sand sculpture style had not yet become popular. Ye Fei was very keenly aware that if this script was filmed well, it would definitely be a hit.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this drama. The director and actors all personally checked it, and even chose Orange Video, which is currently the most popular video in China, as the broadcasting platform.
After a busy month, everything is ready and we will start shooting soon, but who would have thought that Orange Video would suddenly start to cause trouble.
"I have communicated with them, but they are very strong-willed," Gu Ruijia said with a headache after taking a sip of water. "They told me that if I want to cooperate, I must let the person they designate be the heroine."
Ye Fei asked: "Who are they going to put in?"
When this was mentioned, Gu Ruijia suddenly had a toothache on his face, and took out his phone to show Ye Fei a photo: "Feng Zhenzhen, you sound unfamiliar, right? This is the first time I've heard of her either. I just checked online and found out that she's a member of a girl group from Orange Video. She just debuted this year, and she only sings and dances, and has never acted."
Ye Fei glanced at the heavily made-up young artist in the photo and sneered, "Let them go."
Although online dramas do not require very high acting skills, not just anyone can play the role. What's more, he only has two years left to live. If he is still restricted in every way and can't live as he wishes, then what's the point of starting over again?
Gu Ruijia was obviously worried and whispered: "Juzi Video is now the most popular platform..."
Ye Fei raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "So, let them send someone who can only sing and dance? We think our crew is a cheerleading team."
"Pfft..." Gu Ruijia wanted to laugh, but when she saw the cold look on Ye Fei's face, she held it back, "So what should we do now?"
"Change the cooperation platform," Ye Fei knocked on the table and said without hesitation, "They are not the only one." At most, we can increase the publicity efforts at that time.
"Okay," Gu Ruijia nodded, "I'll reply to them right away."
Orange Video is the leader in video players, so naturally it wouldn’t care about their small C-class web drama. She was just very dissatisfied with their lack of tact, and her words and deeds hinted that since they refused to cooperate this time, they should not cooperate in the future. Gu Ruijia was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.
"Stop howling," Ye Fei said as she browsed through the major streaming platforms. "It's good that the problem was exposed before filming. What if they want to send someone in halfway through filming?"
When Gu Ruijia thought of that scene, he suddenly felt as nauseous as if he had swallowed a fly. He participated in the entire process of "Please Wake Up" from filing to casting, so the emotions are naturally different from other dramas.
“Damn it,” he slammed the table fiercely, “We must shoot this drama well, and wait until it becomes popular, and see how they regret it!”
Ye Fei put down the mouse and leaned back lazily: "Let's decide on the streaming platform first."
"Hey," Gu Ruijia sighed, thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, "I think Feixiao Video is good."
Ye Fei was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement," Gu Ruijia winked at Ye Fei, "The things that are made by ourselves must be more useful, don't you think?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Fei frowned.
He compared the top-ranked video platforms in his mind one by one and found that Feixiao Video was indeed a good choice.
The barrage is moderate and the user experience is good, especially since it is backed by Feixiao Technology, there will be no messy problems. Although the number of visits is not as large as that of Orange Video, it can still rank among the top five among the playback platforms.
"Okay," Ye Fei agreed, "You go and negotiate the contract. I won't show up. Don't look for Yan Xiao. Public is public and private is private."
Gu Ruijia nodded simply: "I understand."
However, Ye Fei could control Gu Ruijia, but not Feixiao Technology. The entertainment department is the most informed place in the entire company. When the person in charge saw Tianxi Entertainment, he thought, since they are one of us, he immediately reported it to Cheng Minghao.
Don’t miss the opportunity to show your abilities when it comes to you. Cheng Minghao immediately took the person in charge to see Yan Xiao and told him about this. At the end, he said happily: "This time I really have to thank Orange Video for its cool operation."
Yan Xiao stopped typing on the keyboard and said, "Proposed exclusive cooperation plan, S-level."
The person in charge responded immediately.
Yan Xiao searched the web for a few seconds and found the official website of Orange Video. In the interval of downloading the software, I said to the person in charge: "Send me the development plan of Feixiao Video before five o'clock."
"Five o'clock..." The person in charge looked bitter. The time was really tight.
Feixiao Video is considered a less popular business of Feixiao Technology. The boss does not take it seriously and basically never asks about it. So everyone just muddles along, after all, it's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade, and the worst that can happen can't be that bad.
Now that the boss suddenly wants to develop a plan, we have to give him some time to prepare.
Yan Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Is there any problem?"
The person in charge stammered, "Well... five o'clock is too..."
"I'm informing you, not discussing with you." Yan Xiao stared at him and said slowly.
The person in charge was startled and quickly responded, "Yes."
For the next five minutes, there was only silence in the office.
Yan Xiao opened the Orange Video app and browsed through the categories on the left one by one from top to bottom.
The person in charge and Cheng Minghao looked at each other and noticed the question marks in each other's eyes.
Yan Xiao had no intention of answering their questions. He pondered for a few seconds and entered the name of a movie in the search box. The page turned twice and soon displayed the search results.
There are resources available for viewing.
Yan Xiao closed the film introduction, searched again, and still found the resources.
After repeating this several times, he raised his head and said, "Let the legal department come to see me."
In the past, his focus was on games, and other marginal businesses were managed by Cheng Minghao, but now it is different.
Yan Xiao wants to give Ye Fei the best and will not allow anyone to bully him.
"Ah?" Cheng Minghao couldn't keep up with his train of thought and said blankly, "No need to call the legal department. There is a template for the contract for cooperation with Brother Fei."
Yan Xiao pointed to the computer screen and explained briefly: "Copyright."
Cheng Minghao was still confused and hadn't reacted, but the person in charge's eyes lit up instantly.
At this time, domestic copyright awareness was just emerging.
Because their company suffered greatly from piracy in recent years, they attach great importance to this aspect, and all the videos in Feixiao Video have purchased copyrights. But Orange Video is different, many movies are used directly.
They can completely start from this angle and target Orange Video.
The person in charge was thinking quickly.
Not only can it vent the anger of the boss, but it can also take advantage of the removal of Orange Video resources to promote Feixiao Video, and it can also crack down on piracy and play the social responsibility of large enterprises. It's really three birds with one stone!
That's wonderful.
The person in charge is a smart guy. Once he figured it out, he felt full of energy. God knows how envious they are when they see the benefits of the game at the end of every year. But who can blame them for not making as much profit as others? They must seize this opportunity.
Ye Fei is truly his benefactor!
"I'll call the legal department," the person in charge said without hesitation, "and arrange for someone to negotiate the contract with Tianxi."
Yan Xiao nodded.
So on the same day, Gu Ruijia received feedback from Feixiao Video.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck!” He cursed excitedly and grabbed Ye Fei and said, “It’s S-level, much better than the C-level of Orange Video. We’re going to make a fortune!”
Ye Fei flipped through the electronic contract with favorable terms, and a look of helplessness slowly appeared on his face. The reason why he didn't show up was because he was afraid of this.
Given Tianxi's current situation, it's already good enough that the web drama it shoots can be classified as Category C. It's obvious that Yan Xiao intervened.
Ye Fei exhaled and said to Gu Ruijia: "Don't respond yet, I'll call Yan Xiao."
"Ah? Okay then." Gu Ruijia looked at Ye Fei strangely, then left the office.
He couldn't understand why Ye Fei was so polite to Yan Xiao. Logically speaking, Feixiao Technology was his own company, so shouldn't this contract be a matter of course? Why was he still fussing about it?
Ye Fei walked to the window with the mobile phone and hesitated for a while before pressing the call button.
The call was quickly picked up, and Yan Xiao's steady voice came into his ears through the radio: "Ye Fei."
"I saw the contract," Ye Fei leaned against the windowsill and smiled, "Boss Yan is very generous."
Yan Xiao said: "No."
"I appreciate your kindness, but it's a little inappropriate," Ye Fei played with the lighter, "Let's just follow the normal procedure."
Yan Xiao said: "It's a normal procedure, nothing abnormal."
"Normal procedure..." Ye Fei was so annoyed by Yan Xiao that she smiled helplessly, "Does Mr. Yan do charity?"
Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand why Ye Fei suddenly changed the subject. But he quickly added: "The company does have dedicated philanthropic inputs."
Ye Fei held his forehead with his hand: "No, what I mean is that you are too generous to your partners."
Yan Xiao said "No", and then, as if to prove something, he said to Ye Fei: "I am good at making money."
Ye Fei couldn't help laughing: "Yes, Mr. Yan is amazing."
He himself didn't realize that when he talked to Yan Xiao, he always raised the corners of his lips.
"And there are no other partners—"
Yan Xiao paused for a while before slowly saying, "I am only generous to you."
The author has something to say: Yan Xiao: No one is allowed to bully Ye Fei, including myself
Ye Fei: No, no, no, you are still OK in bed
