Everyone saw Manager Wu come in first and said to the person behind him, "Director Guo, please come in."
Xu Dashi and Yan Zhengxing did not like his polite appearance.
Only when Manager Wu entered the meeting room did everyone see Guo Qingchen who came in afterwards.
In addition to Guo Qingchen, there were two other people.
Guo Qingchen saw that everyone was already in the conference room and that the remaining seats were just for the four of them. He acted surprised and said, "Are you waiting for us alone? I'm so sorry."
Then, Guo Qingchen pretended to check his watch and said, "Fortunately, we are not late."
What this means is that these people arrived early, so even if they are waiting here, it cannot be blamed on him.
Who asked them to arrive early?
Xu Dashi glanced at Manager Wu, who explained, "I went to pick up Director Guo's team."
Xu Dashi said nothing, pointing to the empty seats reserved for Director Guo and the others, "Please sit down."
Manager Wu and the other three sat down.
Manager Wu and Director Guo were sitting opposite Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo.
"We called Manager Wu to the meeting this time because, as the producer of 'Nine Heavens', he should also be present," said Xu Dashi.
Manager Wu glanced at Xu Dashi.
Are you sure Xu Dashi didn't say that on purpose for Tan Mo to hear?
Let Tan Mo know that he is the producer of "Nine Heavens" and that a series of things he did were aimed at "Broken Continent".
Tan Mo nodded. Even though he knew it last night, he still pretended to know it and said to Xu Dashi, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for clearing up my confusion."
Manager Wu was very suspicious that these two people were just pretending in front of him.
He didn't believe that Tan Mo didn't know about it before.
"I was the one who proposed this meeting," Tan Mo said. "I have many questions I'd like to ask. Instead of relaying them through layers of communication, I figured it would be better to ask directly with you all. Thank you, President Xu and President Yan, for giving me this opportunity."
Xu Dashi said seriously, "'Broken Continent' is also a top-tier S+ project for Kefeng. The company doesn't want such an important project to suffer losses due to communication issues."
Yan Zhengxing then said, "The relevant persons in charge of each department are all here now. Tan Mo, Tan Dao, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."
"The purpose of holding this meeting today is to clarify everything and eliminate any doubts. This will also help us have an idea of how to promote the two dramas." Yan Zhengxing added.
Tan Mo nodded and said, "My biggest question is why 'Broken Continent' and 'Nine Heavens' were scheduled to be broadcast at the same time."
"As far as I know, both are S+-rated dramas, and both are produced by Kefeng. If they air simultaneously, no matter which one performs well or poorly, Kefeng will be affected. If they were originally aired separately, with no other comparable dramas running concurrently, both would be winners. But with simultaneous airing, the two dramas become competitors. If there's no third comparable drama running concurrently, then these two will have to compete for supremacy."
"We could have had two successful dramas, but now we can only have one," Tan Mo said. "That means Kefeng's profits will be much less than if the two dramas were broadcast separately."
"You are all professionals who have worked on countless dramas. How could you make such a low-level mistake?" Tan Mo glanced at the people from various departments who had just been introduced by Yan Zhengxing.
Manager Wang, who was in charge of market evaluation and analysis, glanced at Manager Wu subtly.
In fact, it was because Manager Wu came to see him.
He has a good relationship with Manager Wu.
But in a workplace like theirs, there are no real friends.
The so-called good relationship is just because the two people are in the same network of interests.
Manager Wu had helped him once before, so this time he just regarded it as a way to repay Manager Wu.
But now, no one was the first to speak about Tan Mo's problem.
I was afraid that if I spoke first, I would be at a disadvantage and suffer a loss.
Tan Mo looked at everyone's reactions, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, without concealing it at all.
Xu Dashi said in a deep voice, "Manager Wang, please speak first. All of this is based on the market data evaluation results."
Manager Wang had no choice but to speak up when his name was called.
"We're all about data," Manager Wang said. "We did market research, and we found that there's no single actor in 'Broken Continent' who can carry the show. While Guo Shaoyu has a strong track record, the few dramas where he did excel were all supported by other outstanding actors. When those dramas gained acclaim, it was the other supporting actors in the series who stood out and became incredibly popular with the audience. So, there's no real evidence that Guo Shaoyu can carry the show."
"Unlike 'Nine Heavens,' Director Guo had a hit drama that simultaneously elevated the male and female leads of the drama to top-tier stars. The male and female leads of 'Nine Heavens' each have a large fan base and a considerable casual audience," said Manager Wang. "As a result, the evaluation score of 'Nine Heavens' is much higher than that of 'Broken Continent.' At least before viewers have even watched the drama, they will prioritize watching 'Nine Heavens.'"
"But what does this have to do with the simultaneous broadcast of 'Broken Continent' and 'Nine Heavens'?" Tan Mo blinked. "Even if 'Broken Continent''s' ratings are lower than 'Nine Heavens'', that's no reason to air the two shows at the same time."
"The rating is low, and 'Broken Continent' is also an S+ drama. According to the rules, it cannot be scheduled at the same time as another S+ drama." Tan Mo said coldly.
Manager Wang paused.
As long as Tan Mo grasps this point, she will be invincible!
Manager Wang was powerless to shirk responsibility. "You should ask the operations department. I'm not responsible for arranging the broadcast time. I'm only responsible for data evaluation."
Manager Liang from the Operations Department was suddenly called out, gnashing his teeth as he said, "The evaluation data is too poor. As an S+ project, if it were to air on its own, it would probably be ridiculed. Not only would 'Broken Continent' be ridiculed, but director Tan and the other leading actors would also be ridiculed. Even Kefeng would be mocked by netizens. You might think being mocked by netizens is nothing, but Kefeng has several competitors who will follow suit and add insult to injury. If Kefeng becomes a laughing stock, that wouldn't be a good thing."
"A positive reputation doesn't last long, but a negative reputation is hard to wash away once it's acquired."
"That's why we need 'Nine Heavens' to build a foundation," Manager Liang said bluntly. "Even if 'Broken Continent' doesn't perform well, at least we still have 'Nine Heavens'. Even if people mock it, they won't be able to blame Kefeng. After all, Kefeng still made a successful hit drama. If a drama didn't perform well, it would just be a coincidence."
With Manager Liang's words, Manager Xu, who was in charge of advertising and investment, also spoke up, "Besides, there are a lot of advertising and investment opportunities for 'Jiutian'."
