Chapter 256 So this is Mr. Yang’s confidence
But… being able to build up Chengyu Media and accurately find the fledgling Kuiguang Group in the vast crowd, if nothing else, at least in terms of smell, there is absolutely no problem.
Now Cheng Fei is so anxious to express her opinion, saying that there is no problem with this contract. She must have her reasons!
As old rivals, they know the nature of Chengyu Group best. They will never show their support until they see the rabbit. Now that they agree so quickly, there must be something fishy! If I agree too late, won't it expose the embarrassing fact that she understands me but I don't? I will never allow this situation to happen, let alone in front of the people of Chengyu Group.
Besides, there doesn't seem to be much risk in signing this contract.
If the movie flopped, they could get back the sponsorship fee and make a fortune. If the movie really became a hit, paying twice the sponsorship fee wouldn't seem to be something difficult to accept.
The person in charge of Gaoyao Group no longer hesitated and nodded immediately, saying loudly: "Boss Yang's proposal is very good, we agree with it!"
These words were spoken with great conviction and force, and it was obvious that the decision was made after careful consideration.
But in fact, they don’t know that Cheng Fei does not represent the entire Chengyu Group...
As a rational and responsible project manager who was sent to discuss business with Kuiguang Group, anyone would be nervous when he suddenly heard Yang Ruoqian say such unreliable words.
You can't agree to it so quickly! What if there is a conspiracy? Yang Ruoqian dared to boast about the box office of 3 billion yuan for a "Wandering Blue Star" that is still in the preparation stage and can be called a virtual project. Shouldn't he consider the feasibility of this project?
Boasting numbers, PPT projects, and names that are loud and clear...
This movie exudes an extremely unreliable vibe from beginning to end, and always makes people feel like a scam.
At least we should verify whether the new movie is just a pipe dream.
At the beginning, when Cheng Fei said that he wanted to sponsor and help Yang Ruoqian to perform at the ceremony, they were actually a little skeptical in their hearts, but because of the historical achievements of the Kuiguang Group and Cheng Fei's face, they chose to believe it.
Now that Yang Ruoqian has announced the 3 billion goal in front of them, it has further shaken their already fragile sense of trust.
However, before the head of Chengyu Group, who wanted to discuss in detail with Cheng Fei, could say anything, he heard the people from Gaoyao Group immediately stand up and express their agreement, and it was an absolute agreement.
As soon as Cheng Yu was about to say something, he swallowed it back into his stomach.
His eyes changed from suspicion to surprise.
What happened? Why did Gaoyao Group agree to this seemingly ridiculous project without hesitation?
As old rivals, they knew the Gaoyao Group's nature best. They would never show their hand until they saw the rabbit. Now that they agreed so quickly, there must be something fishy! Both Cheng Fei, who knew the Kuiguang Group very well and had cooperated with them countless times, and the Rival Group agreed to Yang Ruoqian's statement at the speed of light...
It makes sense that Cheng Fei let down his guard because he had cooperated with Kui Guang so many times, but Gao Yao Group had never had any form of cooperation with Kui Guang Group before today!
Even they didn't think twice, either they had inside information or they understood the meaning of Yang Ruoqian's words.
Gao Yao’s people understood it, but he didn’t?
You can embarrass yourself, but you must never embarrass yourself in front of the people from Gaoyao Group!
The head of Chengyu Group no longer hesitated and said calmly: "Of course we completely agree with President Yang's perfect proposal... President Cheng's opinion is my opinion!"
So, despite the three parties having completely different understandings, they successfully reached a consensus.
After the lawyer signed the contract, Yang Ruoqian looked at the black and white words and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - finally the damn sponsorship problem was solved.
As long as the movie fails, the 50 million just earned can be returned instantly, and another 50 million can be paid back...
The 50 million yuan in debt is a life-saving straw for the Kuiguang Group.
The biggest trouble now is that after the movie flopped, the Kuiguang Group would have to pay 50 million yuan in compensation, but before the box office results of the movie came out, the 50 million yuan in sponsorship fees from the two companies would have to be pledged to the group's account, which is uncomfortable to look at.
If the movie is not released this quarter and the box office performance is not stabilized before the settlement date, this 50 million sponsorship will become the performance of this month...
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqian suddenly felt a sense of urgency - to release the movie quickly, spend all the budget, make the box office as bad as possible this quarter, and pay back the sponsorship fee twice.
If it was a little later, so much money would have just rotted in the company and fed to the rats.
"It just so happens that most of the crew members have gathered now, and we can assign them work later."
After the people from the two large groups left the meeting room, Yang Ruoqian stood up, packed his things, and pushed the door out slowly.
As soon as I went out, I saw Miss Shang Qianyu, one of the crew members, hiding next to a potted plant, looking around furtively.
Seeing Yang Ruoqian coming out, she immediately gave him a look that said "you're so strong", ran over happily, and rubbed her hands together like a flatterer: "Boss, you really know everything, hehe! No wonder the two major groups are vying to sponsor us..."
"Boss, do you want to give us a surprise?"
Mr. Yang, who had just finally settled the sponsorship issue, didn't feel the slightest bit of surprise and asked calmly, "What surprise did I give you?"
After saying this, Yang Ruoqian suddenly felt that his mental state was actually relatively stable, and he did not experience any adverse reactions such as dizziness, tinnitus, or palpitations.
After being the boss of Kuiguang Group for a year, he has become accustomed to unexpected situations.
If nothing unexpected happens one day, Yang Ruoqian would be a little surprised.
Seeing Yang Ruoqian like this, Shang Qianyu became more certain of her thoughts. She slyly smiled, "Boss, you should have booked that live broadcast as well, right?"
Hearing these half-finished words, Yang Ruoqian was so angry that he laughed.
It feels great when I talk like this, but once the roles are reversed, it immediately becomes painful.
In the group, Yang Ruoqian always let others guess, when did he have to guess too? "Just say what you want to say, where did you learn this bad habit?" Yang Ruoqian glanced at the watch on his wrist, "What's wrong, our big star has become famous, and he is used to speaking half-heartedly?"
Shang Qianyu muttered in dissatisfaction: "Isn't this what I learned from you..."
"What did you say?"
"Oh, Boss. I'm talking about the live broadcast of the Watertown Film Festival awards ceremony that will be held in two months. They've even sent me an invitation letter."
Yang Ruoqian was a little puzzled.
What does it have to do with me? Film festival or not.
Who has the time to watch this kind of show? If he had the time, Yang Ruoqian would 100% choose to watch the live broadcast of e-sports competitions.
What's more, there should be no Chinese channel for this kind of live broadcast. With Yang Ruoqian's English level, it's okay for him to do some listening practice, but if he wants to understand the live broadcast of English that is spoken at a fast speed, with an accent and full of local slang, it's better not to even think about it.
Yang Ruoqian naturally didn't plan to watch it. He shook his head and said, "I'd rather not watch this kind of live broadcast."
"Eh? You're not going to watch it? What a pity..." Shang Qianyu showed a look of regret on his face, "Boss Yang, do you have inside information? Are you sure that we will win the prize, so there is no surprise?"
"Boss... I've discovered that you have some evil taste. It's happened several times that you pretended to be ignorant even though you knew everything."
"Do you still have a lot of things to do? I won't bother you for now. Bye~"
After saying that, Shang Qianyu disappeared from the office in a flash.
Only Yang Ruoqian was left standing there in a mess.
Wait… what the hell? What award? Water City Film Festival, award?! Yang Ruoqian instantly realized the huge amount of information hidden in Shang Qianyu's words.
"Our company... the only film that is eligible to participate in this kind of award selection should be "The Black Robe Inspection Team", right?"
"It's a superhero theme, and it has deep thoughts... This, this seems like it might actually win an award!"
Holy shit, could a movie made from a script he wrote with his feet win an international award? !
"That's not right. This movie has already been released in overseas theaters. How could it win an award?"
After being confused at first, Yang Ruoqian quickly found the logical loophole.
At international film festivals like this, if you want to win an award, generally speaking, you are only allowed to show the film in domestic theaters, not in global theaters.
This kind of movie can be nominated, but it is almost impossible for it to win the award - this is one of the unspoken rules that everyone knows.
Exceptions can only be made for movies with extremely high quality and very good reputation.
However, "The Boys" has already been released in theaters around the world, so it is somewhat unrealistic to expect it to win any awards.
After figuring out the crux of the matter, Yang Ruoqian breathed a sigh of relief: "It should just be a nomination... My movie is included just for show."
"I definitely won't win a prize... Wait, that's not right, Shang Qianyu just mentioned an invitation letter? The organizing committee sent us an invitation letter?"
"The organizing committee will not send invitations to crews that didn't win awards!"
"I'm definitely an exception in winning the award... But there's nothing to worry about. It should be a small award like Best Newcomer at most. The Golden Lion Award or the Silver Lion Award definitely has nothing to do with me..."
“As long as you don’t win a big prize, it’s not a big deal.”
"The possibility of winning the grand prize is basically 0%."
Yang Ruoqian used his professional knowledge to analyze the situation carefully, calmed himself down, and let reason return to his brain.
In fact, winning a small award at the Watertown Film Festival may not necessarily be a bad thing.
Awards from film festivals like this only represent honor, there is not a penny in prize money, and it can only bring some benefit to the reputation of the Kuiguang Group.
If... we organize a luxury tour of Europe for the crew of "The Boys" in the name of attending an awards ceremony, wouldn't it be a waste of a lot of money?
I don’t have the ability to win awards, but I do have the ability to spend money by leveraging the title of award winner, and it’s a lot!
Yang Ruoqian quickly returned to his office and called the finance department.
…
At this moment, inside the elevator of Shengjing Haoyuan, the two groups of people who had just signed two contracts were terribly silent. They all lowered their heads and looked at their mobile phones. The awkward atmosphere in the air was almost condensed into substance.
Suddenly, someone from Chengyu Group's face changed and he handed the phone to Cheng Fei.
"Boss Cheng, please take a look at this message. The crew of "The Black Robe Inspection Team" has received an invitation letter from the organizing committee of the Water City Film Festival!"
Cheng Fei was a little surprised - she naturally knew the selection criteria for the film festival awards.
A movie that was released a long time ago was actually nominated for the Water City Film Festival?! Is "The Black Robe Inspection Team" so amazing...
No wonder Yang Ruoqian has such great confidence and dares to set such a grand goal of 3 billion box office!
It turns out that he relied on this! Yang Ruoqian must have learned a lot of successful experience from the movie "Black Robe Inspection Team", plus the promotion of the Water City Film Festival and the overseas box office...
Sure enough, she was right to agree with Yang Ruoqian's approach without even thinking about it! Cheng Fei smiled - just as she guessed, every word and every decision made by Yang Ruoqian had a deeper meaning behind it.
Even if you can't see it at the moment, these meanings will emerge on their own after a period of time.
As long as it is what Yang Ruoqian said, as long as it is a decision made by Kuiguang Group, you can just believe it without thinking.
It is absolutely a sure win.
As the distributor, she has only one thing to do - to fully cooperate with the Kuiguang Group, launch a full publicity campaign, and help "The Wandering Blue Star" achieve its box office target of 3 billion!
The person in charge who was originally confused about Cheng Fei and Gaoyao Group's decision also saw the news and was enlightened: "Water City Film Festival... I see, I see, I understand it all... I see, hahaha!"
"Cheng Fei is worthy of being the chairman's daughter. She takes a long-term view of things!"
"No wonder Gao Yao agreed so quickly. Luckily I was decisive enough. I knew these people had bad intentions!"
…
At this time, in another corner of the elevator, several people from Gaoyao Group were also whispering around the same mobile phone.
As a company that attaches great importance to information, they were the first to see the news that "The Boys" was nominated for the Watertown Film Festival.
The head of Gaoyao Group was looking at his phone while congratulating himself on his decisive decision: "Water City Film Festival... I see, that's it. No wonder Chengyu agreed so quickly. I understand everything now... Hahaha!"
"Fortunately, I was decisive enough! I knew Chengyu and his gang had no good intentions, huh."
Ding! At this time, the elevator arrived at the underground first floor.
Two groups of people filed out of the elevator, looking at each other with vigilance, and raising the danger level of each other in their minds.
"Let's go!"
"Walk!"
