Chapter 235 You're the one who betrayed me! There's a traitor in the company!
Seeing Cheng Fei's hesitant movements, Cheng Fang also approached curiously.
Then he also saw Shao Yiqi's name.
"No... We are not at the end of our rope, right?" Cheng Fang was immediately shocked. "Is there any need to contact him?"
Shao Yiqi, this person is from our rival Gaoyao Group!
In order to help Kuiguang Group, is it necessary to contact the rivals?
Cheng Fei sighed speechlessly: "What are you thinking about? Shao Yiqi is now working in Kuiguang Group, and his position is not low."
"Contacting him will allow us to get some first-hand information about the Kuiguang Group, and secondly, it will also allow us to drag the Gaoyao Group into the water. Not only can we help our partners, but we can also distract a little bit of our competitors' energy. Why not do it?"
Cheng Fang subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
It doesn't make sense at first, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense...
Why does it feel like Cheng Fei's way of thinking about problems has started to run wildly in a strange way after cooperating with Yang Ruoqian? "Well, then you can contact him..."
Cheng Fei clicked on the number of "Shao Yiqi" on the mobile phone screen.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
After a full twenty seconds, when the phone was about to hang up automatically, the other end finally picked up.
Shao Yiqi's suppressed angry voice spread throughout the office through the loudspeaker: "Didn't I tell you not to contact me? We are really not familiar with each other!"
From the fact that he took more than 20 seconds to answer the phone, we can roughly guess that Shao Yiqi should be hiding in the toilet now...
Cheng Fei held back her laughter and said seriously, "I have something to ask you about your company."
Shao Yiqi was still very alert: "What company? My father's or Kui Guang? I'm telling you in advance, don't even think about asking me for any information about Kui Guang Group! I'm keeping my mouth shut!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Cheng Fang was shocked again.
What does that mean? Why is there only Kuiguang Group on Shao Yiqi's list of names he keeps secret, and no mention of his father's Gaoyao Group?
This isn't how you become a 25-year-old...
What kind of magical company is Kui Guang that can turn a person into this?
Cheng Fei seemed to be used to this and didn't respond at all: "Kuiguang Group has been involved in a lawsuit recently, you shouldn't have heard about it, right?"
"It seems to be the case. What's the matter?" Shao Yiqi continued to lower his voice. "Which big company doesn't have some small lawsuits? This is not uncommon, right?"
"But the lawsuit that Kuiguang Group is involved in this time is not a simple one." Even when she was talking about bad news, Cheng Fei's tone was still very calm.
Shao Yiqi didn't quite believe it: "Is it as mysterious as you said? How come I didn't hear any news at all?"
As a college classmate and Yang Ruoqian's most trusted confidant, shouldn't he be the first to know such important news?
Why would it be Cheng Fei, an outsider? Cheng Fei asked, "Why would he tell you? How can you help him?"
Shao Yiqi was very dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Ding Daoyi, who is now in the company's legal department, was hired by me from my father. What do you mean he can't help? I am a great contributor! I have worked hard for Kui Guang, and I have shed blood for Kui Guang!"
Cheng Fei sighed quietly: "You volunteered to use your connections to help... It's an extra thing, a favor. How could Yang Ruoqian take the initiative to ask you for help?"
Recruiting Shao Yiqi into the company and letting him be responsible for publicity and supervising employees is part of his job and he can be given instructions.
But if you start talking about personal connections, for example, asking Shao Yiqi to use his own connections just because they were college classmates or because they worked together, then it would be a completely different matter.
Although Cheng Fei and Shao Yiqi are in rival companies, they are not enemies, and they usually cooperate with each other...so this time, it is equivalent to Cheng Fei taking the initiative to use his own connections to help Kuiguang Group.
As the youngest successful entrepreneur in Jinhai, Yang Ruoqian must have taken this into consideration and that was why he did not mention this matter to Shao Yiqi.
Although Shao Yiqi was giving up, he was not a fool. After hearing this, I understood the reason.
But he still didn't quite believe it: "Even if what you said is true, I really shouldn't know about this...but how did you know it?"
Cheng Fei said calmly, "When my brother was discussing business with Yang Ruoqian, he received a phone call. My brother was close to him at the time and accidentally heard what was on the phone."
Shao Yiqi finally couldn't help but believe it. He looked shocked and said, "Did you hear it from him himself? Is it really that serious and troublesome?"
"Yes." Cheng Fei glanced at Cheng Fang, who was swearing and patting his chest to make a promise, and gave an affirmative answer.
Seeing that Cheng Fei, who was always reliable, was so serious, Shao Yiqi took a deep breath and began to mobilize himself before the final battle: "You... give me a little bit of the bottom line, what is the situation, and what do you need me to do?"
Cheng Fei had nothing to hide about this, and said directly: "Let's put it this way, this can be regarded as the biggest test that Kuiguang Group has ever faced, bar none."
"It's a matter of life and death, something that Kuiguang Group alone may not be able to handle. Otherwise, I wouldn't be calling you... Do you think I'm happy to call you?"
Shao Yiqi finally understood the seriousness of the matter and did not fight back. "Okay... I'll contact my dad. Yang Ruoqian is such a jerk. He didn't even tell me about such a big thing. Does he treat me like a brother?"
Shao Yiqi was not too worried about what to do next after asking his father for help.
Companies like theirs have all experienced similar things, and the problems are handled in a three-dimensional manner by the entire company.
The legal department is responsible for legal affairs, the publicity department is responsible for creating momentum in public opinion, and the public relations department is responsible for managing relationships, trying to make big things small and small things disappear...
In short, everyone tried their best to save the company.
What's more, Ding Daoyi of Kuiguang Group came from Gaoyao Group, so if he wants to help, it would be very convenient for him to say a word.
Cheng Fei covered her forehead and said helplessly: "I don't tell you because I treat you as a brother!"
At this moment, Yang Ruoqian's puzzled voice was faintly heard from the other end of Shao Yiqi's phone.
"What's the big deal? What brother? Don't blame me if you forget to bring toilet paper... That's not right, isn't there toilet paper in every cubicle?"
“…”
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Before he finished speaking, Shao Yiqi decisively hung up the phone.
Yang Ruoqian knocked on the door of Shao Yiqi's pit and asked in confusion, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now? Why were you so excited?"
"Nothing, just someone who asked me to do something for her." Shao Yiqi pressed the flush button, flushing away a lot of air, his face not reddening and his heart not beating. "Alas, you know, I am a soft-hearted person. I can't help but agree when someone asks me for help."
"Don't talk to me about this." Yang Ruoqian got angry when he heard Shao Yiqi's words, "I haven't settled the score with you for the previous matter. Why don't you explain the matter of the shelter company to me?"
When Yang Ruoqian approached Shao Yiqi about the next investment project, Shao Yiqi came over with the information about "Titanic 2", and the two discussed it seriously for a long time.
But when they actually saw the filming scene, they were shocked to find that it was not the case at all.
We discussed a 500 million dollar plan, but in the end they got a script worth 500,000 dollars.
If this wasn't known to heaven, earth, you and me, and the two of them kept the truth to themselves, this would have been a huge joke.
Yang Ruoqian has been so busy lately that he is too lazy to settle accounts with the culprit Shao Yiqi.
But now that I've run into him while he was using the toilet, of course I have to bring this up and talk about it.
Shao Yiqi unlocked the bathroom door, walked out of the cubicle, and said in a righteous tone: "Just tell me if this project is profitable? Is it promising?"
When the truth about the Shelter Company's "Titanic 2" reached Shao Yiqi's ears, he was stunned for a while.
Wow, he actually recommended his boss and college classmate to spend a lot of money to invest in a film company that makes copycat products.
But if you look more closely, you will find that there is also great room for profit if the shelter company takes a different approach.
Although there may be a very small gap between this and Yang Ruoqian's expectation of making a 500 million blockbuster and earning 500 million in profit, as long as it can make money in the end, isn't it a good project?
Accidental hits are not important, hitting the mark is what matters! Yang Ruoqian was so angry that his teeth itched: "Get lost. Now you force me to think of another way to make a big production!"
I originally just wanted to try to use the idea of making money to develop new projects in order to lose money, but now it seems that it really went all the way to make money and never came back! When you want to lose money, you make a lot of money, and when you want to make money, you make more money...
Yang Ruoqian originally didn't believe this magical result, but now that the reality is before him, it seems he has to believe it even if he doesn't want to.
As expected...using the idea of making money to lose money is useless.
I hope a miracle will happen, and I hope this movie will make a small loss...
If "Titanic 2" and even the shelter company behind it made money, Yang Ruoqian would definitely not think about problems in terms of making money anymore.
Shao Yiqi patted his clothes and said with an expression that said "I know everything": "Come on, do you still have the energy to make a blockbuster now?"
"Why not?" Yang Ruoqian was puzzled. "I'm in good health and have a good back. What's the big deal about shooting a blockbuster?"
But after Cheng Fei and Cheng Fang's analysis with solid evidence, Shao Yiqi has completely believed that the Kuiguang Group is facing an unprecedented crisis.
Once a preconceived notion is formed, sometimes it is of no avail even if the person involved comes forward to clarify the matter personally.
Shao Yiqi didn't say anything more, just patted Yang Ruoqian on the shoulder and walked straight out of the bathroom.
This crisis requires the joint efforts of everyone in the entire group to overcome!
"Did you wash your hands before you started taking photos everywhere?!"
“…”
A few minutes later, Yang Ruoqian returned to the office, turned on his computer and lamented, "I can't even get through this life anymore... I have to check if there are any new projects."
In fact, after seeing Yuefu filming "Thunder Warriors", Yang Ruoqian had the urge to follow suit.
The subject matter was directly copied, and the arrangement of the shocking points was almost the same. As soon as the masterpiece came out, it received a lot of negative reviews... It's simply because of one's hands.
Although it is true that Yang Ruoqian wants to make money, it is not his style to deliberately shoot films about such difficult times.
So the thought was extinguished as soon as it appeared.
After that, Yuefu Group produced the so-called sci-fi masterpiece "Magic City Fortress", which once again failed both in terms of reputation and box office, and even the reputation of the leading actors deteriorated.
This time, Yang Ruoqian didn't feel any psychological burden when he copied... and borrowed from others.
Moreover, for science fiction masterpieces, we can increase investment with good reason.
Big scenes, big special effects...don’t they all cost money?
Now that the status of the group's artists has gradually risen, if the remuneration of Shang Qianyu and several others is increased, won't the cost go up again? It doesn't need to fail like "Fortress of Devil City". As long as it can fail 70% of the time, the movie can still lose a lot of money.
When it comes to how to fail, Yang Ruoqian has always failed miserably... Now he doesn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes.
Trying your best to achieve 70% of others' ability is the first small goal of failure.
Yang Ruoqian sat in front of the computer and began to carefully look at the details of "The Fortress of the Demon City" in order to achieve the most perfect reproduction.
"First of all, the entire script is adapted from a well-known writer's word-of-mouth work... This is a key point that must be remembered."
If it were the immature Mr. Yang in the past, he would have made a mistake at this step and chosen some bad works written by unknown little authors as the script.
For example, "The Dragon Son-in-law Who Protects the Country".
But Mr. Yang now is a mature Mr. Yang - behind every failed work, there are small details piled up one after another.
People who have no knowledge of failure should not take it upon themselves to modify any elements of a failed work.
Otherwise, you may succeed accidentally.
"Secondly, and most importantly, the Earth is facing doomsday...someone from the main cast is going to die, and it would be best if they died important people."
"third……"
"fourth……"
After finishing the summary, Yang Ruoqian looked at the document with satisfaction.
Save it and put it in the most important folder!
This time, Yang Ruoqian directly chose to follow the old path that others had failed in, and there is absolutely no way he will succeed again!
What market research, what copycat movies, what combination of rubbish elements... none of them are reliable.
Only failures verified by the market are real failures.
Turn off the phone and go home.
After wasting some time in the toilet with Shao Yiqi and summarizing the factors that led to the failure of "The Fortress of Demon City", it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Yang Ruoqian picked up the car keys that were still on the table, whistled and left the president's office.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw many employees at their workstations looking towards me from afar with worried expressions on their faces.
Lin Cao, who had been performing extremely well and seemed unusually relaxed, was also making a phone call in the corridor with a serious expression.
When the employees saw the relaxed expression on their boss's face, the worry on their faces became even more intense.
Many people whispered, "Look... even Boss Yang is trying to be calm. This must be a big deal."
"I will tide over the difficulties with the company anyway. If the company is willing to share the good times with me, I am willing to share the bad times with the company!"
Yang Ruoqian looked at the employees who were full of fighting spirit and seemed to be ready to roll up their sleeves and work hard for seven or eight months. A few questions gradually popped up in his mind: "???"
What strength and calmness? What difficulties? What sharing weal and woe?!
Who spread this rumor in the group?
There's a traitor, right?
