The monotonous but never boring vacation passed quickly. Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing got up a few days in advance and flew back to Jinhai City.
Whether going or coming back, they have to avoid peak hours.
"I have to go back to work in two days. I'm really looking forward to it." Chang Zhiqing was curled up on the sofa playing with her phone as before. "It feels like the vacation is so long, and it feels like work is so interesting."
Yang Ruoqian complained about Chang Zhiqing as usual: "You are addicted to work, right? Is the workload too low? Do you want me to give you more?"
"It's not just me." Chang Zhiqing raised her voice and retorted unconvincedly, "Almost all employees are looking forward to going to work, okay? You just don't check the work group."
Work group...
The entire staff?
Yang Ruoqian really didn't pay much attention to large groups of thousands of people.
"Are you still watching that group? I have blocked them all."
"Just take a look once in a while." Chang Zhiqing nodded. "It's really interesting to see employees sharing their Spring Festival life in the group."
Other people's gossip always arouses the interest of most people, and Mr. Yang is no exception. He immediately paused the video in his hand and asked, "For example?"
"For example, they find that visiting relatives, dealing with all kinds of interrogations, and dealing with all kinds of blind dates are more tiring than going to work." Chang Zhiqing smiled, "That's why they want to go back to work as soon as possible."
After all, working in Kuiguang Group really makes people happy both physically and mentally.
Yang Ruoqian chuckled: "Sure enough, unmarried people can't escape the fate of blind dates."
"Married people can't escape this either. Aren't there many people who want you to introduce them to good girls in the company? They've even set their sights on our company's human bodies."
Yang Ruoqian asked, "Speaking of Luo Ruying, what do other employees in the company think?"
Normally Zhiqing had checked the employee group, and now she was on vacation with nothing to do, so she just treated it as a daily chat between the two of them.
"Yes." Chang Zhiqing nodded vigorously. "Everyone is looking forward to it. Some people even asked in the group if anyone had met Luo Ruying in the company and asked the agent if they could get an autograph."
Yang Ruoqian was very interested: "And then?"
"And then? Then several executives who knew about it immediately got into a dramatic mood and started to act out a story together, saying that they had met Luo Rujin. They described it so vividly that I even suspected that they had reviewed the script in private."
As expected, they are the management team that I have chosen, with strong ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied with this phenomenon: "Great, great, it feels so good that only a few people know the truth. I will investigate further and report back!"
Chang Zhiqing glanced at her phone again and sighed, "Shang Qianyu asked me in a private message if she could meet Luo Ruying. She said she liked her so much."
"Xiao Shang watched Luo Ruying's debut self-introduction video... I was so excited during the entire Spring Festival that I haven't completely calmed down yet."
Before leaving, Yang Ruoqian gave a strict order to everyone in the company, asking them not to disturb him during the Spring Festival.
So Shang Qianyu could only settle for the next best thing and seek help from the boss's wife.
"Alas, Xiao Shang, you're going to be disappointed again." Yang Ruoqian sighed, but his tone couldn't hide the gloating.
After a while, I can find an opportunity to tell Shang Qianyu the truth in advance and see how she reacts.
From one person's reaction, we can roughly see the reaction of the entire market after Luo Ruying's final bankruptcy.
"She is not disappointed now." Chang Zhiqing shook her phone. "Not only did she publicly promote Luo Ruying on social platforms, she also interacted with her remotely and even listed the TV series starring Luo Ruying as a special concern. To be honest, I am also very concerned about how our group's human body will perform in film and television."
The TV series that Luo Ruying is about to star in completed its preliminary preparations before the Spring Festival and was named "The Beginning".
The specific story is about the protagonists who are constantly "reborn" after encountering a bus explosion. On the eve of death, they use their own wisdom to try to prevent the tragedy from happening and find the truth.
Yang Ruoqian was only told that it was a suspense story, and the detailed plan was only sent to his email. He only recently found the time to take a look at it.
The entire TV series is story-based, with relatively simple scenes and a clear structure. It does not require particularly strenuous acting and dialogue, and can greatly downplay Luo Ruying's flaws.
Even if they are not on the scene, through post-production technology, it is basically possible to "ps" people onto the big screen without any flaws.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter how I perform." Yang Ruoqian shrugged. "Once this TV series is finished and released, it won't be long before the secret is revealed."
"Why are you like this?" Chang Zhiqing snorted, "You should pamper Luo Ruying well! This is our company's human form, she's so cute."
"You don't even know that there are even variety shows now. Advertisers are contacting us, hoping that Luo Ruying can appear on the show and endorse their products."
After her debut video was released, Luo Ruying released several singing video clips one after another.
Spark Records, which was incorporated into the Kuiguang Group, is not only responsible for the music work of all the group's film and television dramas, but also for the music production of many other famous film and television dramas.
There are even many background music, opening songs and ending songs for TV dramas and movies that are extremely famous and have very high pitches, but ultimately disappointing, which were all commissioned to Spark Records for production.
This has resulted in many cases of "bad movies becoming masterpieces".
If it weren't for the great music, the ratings of these bad movies would be even lower.
Now that Luo Ruying has made her debut, Spark Records will naturally be responsible for her music production.
With the dual blessing of perfect tuning and top music producers, every singing video and every record album of Luo Ruying has experienced an astonishing explosion in playback and listening volume in a short period of time.
Shang Qianyu, whose singing is only passable but not outstanding, directly used his big account to comment on relevant videos and albums.
It seems that he is about to become Luo Ruying's fan leader.
Luo Ruying, who was strongly promoted by the Kuiguang Group, has an excellent image and temperament, and has demonstrated outstanding abilities. She already has the potential to become a first-line star.
Now that I don't have any contracts at all, just a blank piece of paper, I will naturally be "coveted" by many forces.
"No." Various work messages went around in circles, and finally reached Yang Ruoqian's ears...
It's really hard to guard against.
No matter how hard you try, you can't defend against Chang Zhiqing...
Mr. Yang's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand: "I won't accept any of them! In Luo Ruying's situation, accepting such things will easily lead to various disputes, so forget it."
Ever since the system gave him two consecutive "rewards" for lawsuits, Yang Ruoqian has become extremely cautious about any word like "dispute".
Theoretically, being dragged into a legal vortex can indeed slow down a company's various businesses to a great extent and increase legal expenses.
But theories are always just theories.
What if Yang Ruoqian received a similar reward next quarter, and all kinds of favorable evidence and information were sent to the company's legal department, resulting in victory being declared before the lawsuit even began, and the only suspense being how much "war reparations" he could get? That would be a bit too hellish.
The two compensation payments from Yuefu Group still make Mr. Yang feel uneasy.
"What a pity! Now the entire industry has been ruined by you. You can make a generous offer."
That's even more of a pity...
Yang Ruoqian complained in his heart and was about to open the blocked group chat to see what the employees usually talked about in the group, when a very unfamiliar avatar suddenly jumped to the top.
"Happy Chinese New Year, Sir Yang!"
Who are you? Have I added you?
Yang Ruoqian was stunned at first, but then he quickly remembered who this person was from the familiar name.
That guy, Mag, who foolishly wanted to develop overseas IPs and was forced to travel around the Gold Sea and the Islands.
Ever since he took advantage of the filming of a variety show to tie Mag up on the archipelago and force him to play around, he has disappeared for quite a while.
Now the wound has healed and the pain has been forgotten? Yang Ruoqian asked, "Are you still celebrating the Spring Festival?"
Mager replied: "In our city, the Spring Festival is a legal holiday, but the holiday is not that unexpected?"
Wow, it’s not that plastic Chinese anymore?
It looks like there was a layer of machine between them, and Mag used machine translation to slightly polish it.
Yang Ruoqian sent a handshake emoji: "That's not bad, what do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Mag?"
As far as he knew, Mager's own company was not small and involved a lot of global business, so he should be a busy person.
Why do you care so much about such trivial matters of yours every other day?
Mag: "Sir Yang, it's a huge success, a huge success! You may not know how successful "The Black Robe Inspection Team" is in Southeast Asia!"
Success again?! "The Boys", not even the second part, is it the first one? This is a long time ago, how can it still be brought up? A movie with a box office of over 1 billion and international awards, Mager doesn't need to tell you that it is a success.
It's such an old scar, why are you still opening it?
Yang Ruoqian suppressed the urge to block him and typed word by word: "Of course, whether it is honors or box office performance, this movie can be said to be very successful."
Mager typed the pinyin very quickly: "NoNoNo, Mr. Yang, the success I'm talking about is not your previous success, but your current success~"
"Your movie's global box office performance wasn't bad before, but it wasn't great either... But thanks to my hard work, many movie theaters in many countries have put The Boys back on the shelves!"
"Many viewers who didn't know about this movie before are now scrambling to buy tickets."
"You'll probably receive your first payment after the holiday. How about it? Can I transfer the money quickly enough?"
“[Red envelope], let’s make money together!”
Even though the words looked a bit stiff, Mag's excitement could still be seen between the lines.
He was obviously very pleased with the deal.
Yang Ruoqian said with a wooden face: "I understand, Mr. Mag, you have worked hard, take some rest."
After typing this line, Yang Ruoqian accepted the red envelope without any hesitation.
My goodness, Mager could actually dig up a body that had already been buried in a coffin, put it back in theaters and sell tickets again?! Memories that had been dead for many years began to attack Yang Ruoqian again!
And it was an actual attack!
Although Mager did not talk about the specific reaction of the Southeast Asian market or how the tickets were selling, it can be seen from his happy attitude that the situation is definitely not optimistic.
No, how could a happy Spring Festival turn out like this?
I told everyone in the company not to disturb my fun, but people from outside the company found a way in, right? Mager obviously hasn't gotten over the huge success yet. He continued, "Sir Yang, according to the survey conducted by our marketing staff, the audience is looking forward to your "The Boys 2"!"
Yang Ruoqian: "Haha, is that so?"
Mager continued to work tirelessly to share good news with his close partners: "We urgently produced promotional videos for The Boys 2 in various languages, and the response was very good. The box office performance will definitely be good!"
"At least in the Asian market, I am confident that I can operate the superhero IP well."
"The overseas spy version of the promotional video shot on that island also achieved expected success."
"Sir Yang, I admire your vision and courage! If it were me, I would definitely choose to rent out the IP, rent out the overseas IP operation rights, and minimize my own risks."
"If you had done that, you would have made 10 times less money than you do now!"
Yang Ruoqian: “…”
Forget it, let’s get to work!
If it was not a holiday, this kind of news would definitely be received by the secretary, and I would have enough time to prepare myself mentally before experiencing the bad news, and it wouldn't be so abrupt and unexpected as it is now.
It would be more enjoyable to take this holiday than to play games, watch videos, and eat melons in the president's office.
As the chairman of a giant company in the entertainment industry, Mr. Yang gets first-hand information about various entertainment circles every day, which makes him very happy.
In comparison, it's really boring to be at home during the holidays and go on blind dates for the sons of your aunts and uncles, and be bombarded with all kinds of annoying news.
Seeing Yang Ruoqian's unhappy expression, Chang Zhiqing asked, "What's wrong? Someone asked you out for a blind date again?"
"No, Mag just sent me a message."
Chang Zhiqing reacted immediately: "...Oh, the overseas IP development is not going smoothly?"
"No, it went too smoothly. It was so smooth that even the Cretaceous fossils and antiques in the first part of The Black Robe Inspection Team were brought out and rehashed, and it was quite successful."
Chang Zhiqing looked at Mr. Yang, who was covering himself with a quilt and preparing to turn off the lights and fall asleep, and rubbed his forehead: "Shouldn't this be a happy thing?"
Yang Ruoqian said unhappily, "It's too unchallenging and boring. I need to quickly sleep through this boring, rubbish holiday. I need to quickly undertake a difficult challenge like Luo Ruying!"
ps: The review was postponed to May Day, right? The fan title activity review has been going on for a whole day, brother. (End of this chapter)
