Wen Ying is a young author and screenwriter. Director Fan admires Wen Ying's talent. Wen Ying's small round face is very pleasing and approachable. Director Fan feels very relaxed when chatting with Wen Ying.
Xie Qian has no identity in the circle, and he will not have the label of "Young Master of So-and-so Family" on his forehead. Logically, Director Fan can ignore Xie Qian, but Xie Qian has a mysterious leadership magnetic field that cannot be ignored anywhere.
When Xie Qian called out his name, Director Fan subconsciously straightened his back and became more serious.
"Ask us what you want. We are not outsiders. Ask whatever you want!"
Xie Qian's question must be Tianjiao's question, but Mrs. Wang was reluctant to say it out loud, so she let the young man Xie Qian say it, leaving a buffer zone for negotiations for both parties.
Director Fan imagined it again.
Xie Qian didn't care what Director Fan thought. There was only one reason why he was willing to come to Hunan Province, and that was to prevent Wen Ying from suffering any loss.
Tianjiao's loss is equivalent to Wenying's loss, without any rounding.
What's more, if Yu Tianlin really produces a high-quality drama and becomes a rival to "Star River With You", it would be a strong collision and healthy competition, which would inspire Wen Ying to have a stronger desire to create. Xie Qian is looking forward to this situation.
However, now, even Director Fan doesn’t appreciate Yu Tianlin’s new drama, and Xie Qian doesn’t think he can appreciate it.
A bad drama that highlights Yu Tianlin's personal charm!
Xie Qian made a summary.
Such a bad drama, competing with "Star River and You", will not have any positive impact on Wen Ying. Xie Qian thinks it is an insult to Wen Ying to be her opponent:
"You said Yu Tianlin signed the contract with the TV station very quickly, so quickly that Tianjiao didn't even get the news. I think no matter how fast it was, it couldn't have been signed overnight, right?"
This was Xie Qian’s first doubt.
Director Fan vaguely realized what Xie Qian wanted to ask and smiled awkwardly: "Of course it wasn't signed last night, it was signed three days ago."
"oh."
Xie Qian replied with just this one word, and Director Fan felt a little uncomfortable.
Mrs. Wang finally came to her senses, her eyes sparkling. The 40-meter-long sword on her shoulder seemed to have a new direction to aim. She smiled sweetly at Director Fan:
"Director Fan, since Yu Tianlin signed the contract with Hunan Satellite TV three days ago, how come we Tianjiao haven't received any news at all? Could it be that he is deliberately hiding it from us?"
Director Fan was speechless, with an embarrassed look on his face.
Wen Ying understood instantly.
In addition to Yu Tianlin who wanted to catch Tianjiao off guard, the person who deliberately concealed the news also included Director Fan.
Director Fan knew that Yuan Fenghui wanted to get the July time slot, and Yu Tianlin had signed a contract with the TV station first. Director Fan had no time to stop her. He was afraid that after Yuan Fenghui knew the news, she would be so angry that she would choose not to cooperate with Hunan Satellite TV. This was obviously not in Director Fan's own interests, so Director Fan chose to keep the news secret.
Anyway, the matter is a foregone conclusion. Wen Ying and her group will naturally know about it when they arrive in Hunan Province. Once they arrive, we can discuss a solution together... This is probably what Director Fan is thinking.
We can’t say that Director Fan is a bad guy. Everyone is multifaceted and will prioritize their own interests.
However, this puts Tianjiao in a passive position.
No one spoke for a moment, and the office was filled with awkwardness. Before Director Fan could think of a response, Xie Qian asked again:
"My second question is, even if Yu Tianlin's drama was signed with your station first, I believe your station decides the release date based on the quality of the drama, not the order of signing. Am I right?"
Tianjiao is filming "Star River With You". News was released when the filming started and when it was completed.
Popular stars Li Mengjiao and Yun Chen will co-star again, and Chinese pop queen Hu Man will join the cast. Such a lineup means guaranteed ratings.
What's more, Tianjiao had a pleasant cooperation with Hunan Satellite TV before, and everyone knows that "Starry River with You" will give priority to continuing to cooperate with Hunan Satellite TV. Yu Tianlin's new drama can capture a part of the female audience, and Hunan Satellite TV has no reason to reject "Starry River with You" - ordinary people will not think that they make too much money, and TV stations will not think that they have too many good dramas in stock. Letting go of a popular drama means losing a certain share of ratings. Without ratings, there is no money to be made, and it will also strengthen competitors!
Xie Qian’s doubts are reasonable.
The order of signing the contracts does not mean anything. Once the broadcasting rights are obtained by Hunan Satellite TV, it is up to Hunan Satellite TV to decide when to broadcast the show. If Yu Tianlin rushes to sign the contract first, will Tianjiao's "Star River and You" not be able to catch up later?
That doesn’t make sense!
This kind of thing is not an either-or situation. Hunan Satellite TV does not have to make a choice. It can have both dramas.
"What Xie Qian said makes a lot of sense. What do you think, Director Fan?"
Mrs. Wang was eager to try, carrying a 40-meter-long sword.
Director Fan certainly couldn't see the invisible knife, but the more Mrs. Wang laughed, the more uneasy Director Fan felt.
A woman who looks kind may not necessarily be really kind. A public relations manager who can become a genius and work with Yuan Fenghui is not an ordinary person.
The amiable and smiling tigress Mrs. Wang, the young man Xie Qian whose sharp words go straight to the point, and Wen Ying whose clear eyes seem to understand everything without any blame.
Three people, three different kinds of pressure. Director Fan's forehead was covered with sweat, and he stammered, unable to come up with a reasonable explanation:
"Anyway, you're late—"
"Unless, when Yu Tianlin signed the contract with your station for his new drama, he separately agreed on a broadcast schedule, confirming the July prime time slot as a clause in the contract, otherwise I don't understand why Tianjiao is so late."
Xie Qian interrupted Director Fan's clumsy explanation.
Just like solving a problem.
In order to test the level of the candidates, the test makers will set some traps in the questions. Those irrelevant descriptions can interfere with the candidates' problem-solving ideas and mislead them to solve the questions from the wrong angle.
Eliminate these trap descriptions one by one, and what remains is the real question.
Just like now, Xie Qian used two questions to uncover the information that Director Fan wanted to hide and exposed Director Fan's selfish motives. Of course, this was not to deliberately embarrass Director Fan, but to point to the core essence of the matter:
"So you see, the crux of the matter isn't the timing of Yu Tianlin's new drama contract with your station, but why your station is so eager to schedule a July release date for Yu Tianlin's new drama. Your station isn't confident in 'Star River With You,' and you aren't that confident either, right?"
Mrs. Wang widened her eyes.
Director Fan actually has no confidence in "Starry River and You"?
Director Fan is Tianjiao’s biggest ally on Hunan Satellite TV.
Even the allies have no confidence in "Star River With You"... If Tianjiao had known this, why would he have made this trip? Giving up cooperation with Hunan Satellite TV would have been the best choice!
Director Fan's secret thoughts were revealed by Xie Qian. The three people were looking at him. If they didn't make things clear today, there would be a gap between the two sides, which was something Director Fan didn't want to see.
Having said that, there was no point in hiding it anymore. Director Fan made up his mind and spoke out his concerns:
"It's already May, and 'Starry River With You' hasn't finished production yet. We've all heard that Huang Yongjun and Tianjiao have terminated their collaboration. We don't know what the conflict between Tianjiao and Hu Man is, but we all care about whether 'Starry River With You' can be completed on schedule... If it can't be completed by then, what will the TV station broadcast?!"
