Chapter 114: Beating the Mountain to Shock the Tiger, Wang Bao Almost Vomited Blood (Subscription Guarantee)
If you ignore me today, I will be out of your reach tomorrow.
This statement is indeed true.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiaoshu thought about it and started laughing.
Although it was a bit unexpected, it was also reasonable.
In his previous life, when he was an agent, some people were fighting like life-and-death enemies one second, but they were naked the next second.
Everything is for profit.
In this regard, Meng Kai is considered a qualified artist director.
30 minutes later, Yu Xiaoshu met Meng Kai.
"Xiao Shu, I've always wanted to talk to you, but I've been busy at the company so I can't spare the time."
Meng Kai looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said with a smile: "Come, sit down."
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Meng Kai in front of him and said calmly, "Mr. Meng, you are too polite."
"Xiao Shu, are you still angry with the company?"
Meng Kai didn't care about Yu Xiaoshu's attitude and said, "I didn't know that I fired you. If I knew, I would never let you go. Besides, I have already fired your former director of the screenwriter department 2. He did this without authorization."
Yu Xiaoshu sneered in his heart.
Meng Kai's skill in shifting the blame is as shameless as ever.
How could a supervisor dare to fire his own screenwriter at will?
Besides, that guy had been enduring the original owner for more than two years. If he could have been fired, he would have done it long ago.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu didn't say anything.
He came to see Meng Kai today just to see what this guy wanted to say.
After all, Meng Kai had done Lin Feiyang a great disservice in the past.
So, Yu Xiaoshu just watched Meng Kai's performance quietly.
"Xiao Shu, we welcome you back anytime. As long as you come back to Kunlang, you will be in charge of the scriptwriting for the two series. We will give you a platinum salary and increase your commission by 5 points on top of the original salary. You can ask for any other conditions. We will satisfy you as long as we can."
Meng Kai said to Yu Xiaoshu, "As long as you give me the nod, I will take care of Baiqian Media. If you want to cooperate with Lin Feiyang, that's fine too. We will sign Lin Feiyang as well."
Yu Xiaoshu asked Meng Kai, "You screwed Lin Feiyang so badly, do you think Lin Feiyang still trusts you?"
"Xiao Shu, you can't say that. Feiyang and I are very good friends. There was a misunderstanding between us when Feiyang got into trouble. I wanted to handle it in a low-key manner. I had even discussed it with Mu Lefeng. But who would have thought that Feiyang would take the initiative to speak out and didn't even discuss it with me. This is how things got completely out of control."
Meng Kai sighed and said, "If Fei Yang had listened to me, he would not have been hidden by the company for three years."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed: "Boss Meng, if I didn't know the truth, I would have almost believed it."
Meng Kai frowned: "Xiao Shu, you..."
"Actually, I came here just to see what kind of conditions Kunlang could offer. Unfortunately, these conditions are not even as good as Tiger Star and Pony."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly: "It seems that I really came to see you in vain."
"Xiao Shu, don't be anxious. I told you, if you are not satisfied with the conditions, you can..."
Meng Kai was a little anxious and wanted to explain something.
"Okay, that's not necessary."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said, "It's not impossible for me to rejoin Kunlang Films."
Meng Kai's face lit up: "Xiao Shu, go ahead."
"The conditions are very simple. You apologize to Lin Feiyang in person and tell him everything about how you harmed Lin Feiyang and what benefits you gained from it."
Yu Xiaoshu spread his hands: "It's that simple."
Meng Kai listened to Yu Xiaoshu's words and his voice became a little gloomy and said: "Do you really want to do this?"
"yes."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "I haven't asked you to tell me the inside story of my resignation yet. I'm already very generous. What's the matter? Mr. Meng, you can't even do this, and you still say you are sincere?"
"Yu Xiaoshu, don't go too far. Do you think you can be so slanderous just because you filmed two phenomenal web dramas?"
Meng Kai slammed the table and said, "I'm telling you, we at Kunlang Films would rather not sign you than tolerate bad artists like you."
Bang!
Yu Xiaoshu suddenly slammed the table: "What? Are you competing to see who is stronger?"
Meng Kai: “You??”
"You what you?"
Yu Xiaoshu sneered, "You were the one who called me, and you were the one who wanted to talk to me. You were the one who proposed the contract, too. I just want to ask, how did I go too far?"
This Meng Kai is indeed smart enough.
Even when chatting privately, he still keeps his words to himself.
Of course, this is what a real estate agent is supposed to do.
After all, it is very common for so many private conversations to be recorded.
For this reason, brokers should be more cautious in what they say and do.
However, Yu Xiaoshu had no intention of getting anything out of Meng Kai today.
His main purpose of coming here today is to scare the enemy.
"Oh, one more thing."
Yu Xiaoshu stood up and looked down at Meng Kai and said, "You have to pay for what you did. I will take revenge on you for how you treated Lin Feiyang. You can tell this to Mu Lefeng, but I don't think she will care about you anymore, because you two are no longer the same kind of people. You are in Kunlang and he is in Dongyi. Haha, you... take care of yourself."
After saying that, Yu Xiaoshu left.
Only Meng Kai was left with an embarrassed look on his face.
At the beginning, Meng Kai did trick Lin Feiyang, but in Meng Kai's opinion, he could not be blamed. He was an agent with aspirations, but Lin Feiyang had always been more casual and had no aspirations at all.
"I don't need much fame or profit, I just want to be down-to-earth in acting, and what I like most is to be with my daughter and wife."
These were Lin Feiyang’s original words.
Because of this, Meng Kai chose to use the same trick on Lin Feiyang.
It was precisely because of his action that Lin Feiyang had to fight alone and even suffered a one-sided crisis of public opinion.
Afterwards, Mu Lefeng really kept her word, and the people behind her helped Meng Kai become the artist director of Kunlang Film and Television.
But Mu Lefeng jumped to Dongyi and became the number one star of Dongyi in just three years.
But after that, Meng Kai and Mu Lefeng no longer had any private contact, except for work.
Then just as Yu Xiaoshu said just now, Mu Lefeng can no longer help Meng Kai.
But...what should I do? ?
Meng Kai murmured to himself.
Thinking of this, Meng Kai called Ding Hong and told her about what happened to Yu Xiaoshu. Then he asked, "What do you think we should do?"
"What to do?"
Ding Hong was a little amused: "Can Yu Xiaoshu turn over what happened back then? Besides, you are the artist director of Kunlang Films, and you were frightened by Yu Xiaoshu with just a few words?"
Obviously, in Ding Hong's opinion, Meng Kai is too timid.
You are the artist director of Kunlang Film and Television.
Are you so scared after being threatened by Yu Xiaoshu?
It's just such a waste.
After hanging up the phone, Ding Hong thought about it and decided to report to Mu Lefeng. After all, they still had to negotiate with Yu Xiaoshu next.
"Meng Kai is a piece of trash. He hasn't improved at all in all these years."
Mu Lefeng sneered, "But Yu Xiaoshu is getting more and more arrogant. Does he think he can do whatever he wants just by relying on two phenomenal works? I want to see how he dies then."
"But Xiaofeng, this Yu Xiaoshu is so arrogant that he actually wants Meng Kai to apologize. So when we negotiate, will he..."
Ding Hong said with some concern.
"The child is in my hands. Just based on this, we will be invincible."
Mu Lefeng didn't care about this. She frowned and asked, "Has the article about Chaohuo Entertainment been withdrawn?"
"No."
Ding Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Chaohuo Entertainment said that the article has been published and cannot be withdrawn. They have no precedent for withdrawing it."
"Okay, very good. Go tell Chaohuo Entertainment that if they don't withdraw, I will refuse interviews with Chaohuo Entertainment in the future."
Mu Lefeng gritted her teeth and said, "Not only me, but other artists in our Dongyi also refused their interview."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Ding Hong nodded slightly.
Chaohuo Entertainment was banned.
Mu Lefeng is so popular now that all media outlets are vying to interview her. Chaohuo Entertainment is a typical example of being ungrateful.
Then, Mu Lefeng would shut down Chaohuo Entertainment.
As the top actress in Dongyi, Mu Lefeng is qualified to say this.
"If I can get the manuscripts online, I'll give them to you. If I can't, I'll continue to promote Deng Meili."
Mu Lefeng said: "Let's talk about everything after we finish negotiating with Lin Feiyang."
Ding Hong said: "Okay, I understand."
"The most urgent task is that the play "Female Official" must not have any mistakes. The news about the cold market of costume dramas and the impending rescue of "Female Official" should be promoted online."
Mu Lefeng said in a somewhat stern tone: "This time, 'Dead Men' did not meet expectations, but because Deng Meili took the blame, I was not affected. But this is not okay. The next 'Female Officials' must not have any mistakes."
"Xiaofeng, don't worry."
Ding Hong also said: "The company will invest all its resources in the drama "Female Official". No matter what, this time "Female Official" will definitely take your status to a higher level."
…
In the evening, at Yu Xiaoshu’s house.
"I met Meng Kai this afternoon."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled at Lin Feiyang and said, "Guess what he wants me to do?"
“Do we need to guess this?”
Lin Feiyang sneered and said, "Then Meng Kai probably wants you to continue to return to Kunlang, and then promise you a lot of conditions."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "That's right. Besides, he asked me to persuade you to go back to Kunlang with me."
Lin Feiyang was not surprised: "This Meng Kai is indeed shameless. I only blame myself for trusting him too much and not seeing it clearly."
"It's not too late to know now."
Yu Xiaoshu chuckled and said, "I have already warned Meng Kai. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely communicate with Mu Lefeng. So, although Mu Lefeng will not be afraid, she is a shrewd person and will definitely care about it. Then, your performance at the celebration banquet the day after tomorrow will be crucial."
Falling out!
This is what Yu Xiaoshu asked Lin Feiyang to do.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Why has Lin Feiyang been controlled by Mu Lefeng at every step in the past three years?
It's just because you're too proud.
This is also the reason why Mu Lefeng is so unscrupulous.
So, after the celebration party for "The Undocumented Crime", Yu Xiaoshu will ask Mu Lefeng to reconsider.
Is she still qualified to continue to manipulate Lin Feiyang now?
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Baiqian Media, Wang Bao’s office.
"Xiao Shu, I've read this script."
Wang Bao smiled at Yu Xiaoshu and said, "Is my suggestion a little too risky?"
"adventure??"
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned: "Uncle Wang, what exactly do you mean?"
"If it was just a time travel, it would be fine, but it's a bit too risky for the heroine to travel to the novel she wrote. In addition, I think the beginning is too dragged out. It should have just started the time travel."
Wang Bao expressed his thoughts as tactfully as possible: "Xiao Shu, I understand your desire to attack the drama "Female Officials", but we can't be lucky every time. If it weren't for Deng Meili's poor performance, I'm afraid we wouldn't have won "No Evidence". But I think it's absolutely impossible for the drama "Female Officials" to fail, so it's not a wise idea for us to shoot a costume drama."
After hearing what Wang Bao said, Yu Xiaoshu frowned and said, "Uncle Wang, have you read the script?"
"I watched it. Not only did I watch it, but last night I was worried that I really had some prejudice, so I asked your teacher to watch it as well."
Wang Bao glanced at the time and said, "Your teacher will be here soon."
"Don't be so exaggerated."
Yu Xiaoshu was a little amused: "Uncle Wang, if you have any opinions about the script, just say it clearly. There is no need to bring up my teacher again."
"That won't work, Xiaoshu. You are now the pillar of our Baiqian Media. Whether Baiqian Media can survive in the future depends entirely on you."
Wang Bao said seriously: "So I must give you enough respect."
As they were talking, Zou Jun arrived.
Last night, Wang Bao brought the script to discuss with Zou Jun.
Zou Jun and Wang Bao had the same idea about the script of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
After all, they are all middle-aged and elderly people, and their ideas are still relatively conservative. They even believe that costume dramas should be serious and stable.
The idea behind a drama like "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is to disagree with it and even think it's ridiculous.
The two people's views are extremely consistent.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Bao was going to ask Yu Xiaoshu to give up this idea today.
Of course, Wang Bao was more thoughtful. He was worried that if he asked Yu Xiaoshu to give up the idea, Yu Xiaoshu might have some thoughts in his mind, so he pulled Zou Jun over as well.
"Teacher, my uncle Wang is the same. Am I the kind of person who would haggle over small matters? If there is anything, just speak it out. Why did he have to bring you here?"
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Zou Jun and said with a helpless look.
"It's not all Lao Wang's fault. It was also my request."
Zou Jun waved his hand and said, "We both read the script last night, and then after Wang Bao left, I checked it in detail again."
"Look, Xiaoshu, it's not just me who disagrees with this script, your teacher also..."
Wang Bao said to Yu Xiaoshu, but he was interrupted by Zou Jun before he could finish his words.
"Old Wang, shut up first."
Zou Jun asked Wang Bao to stop talking, then turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoshu and said, "My first thought about this script is the same as Lao Wang's. I also think the script is a bit risky. Moreover, it involves traveling through time, traveling into one's own book, not to mention the confusing plot. I think this is nonsense..."
These ideas are also Wang Bao’s ideas.
However, Zou Jun can say these words, after all, Zou Jun is Yu Xiaoshu's teacher, but Wang Bao needs to be more tactful.
"But after Wang Bao left, your teacher Qi and I talked a little bit, and then I looked up what young people like on the Internet. I can only say that I am indeed a little outdated. Sometimes, people have to learn to keep up with the times."
Zou Jun said as he looked at Wang Bao and said, "This drama is not targeted at people like us. It is targeted at young people, and online dramas are gradually becoming younger. I think this script is very good."
"I…"
Wang Bao was speechless: "Old Zou, that's not what you said last night."
"That's right. Last night I was still like you, someone who didn't know how to adapt, didn't know how to keep up with the times, and could be eliminated by the times at any time."
Zou Jun nodded gently: "But I have changed after a night of thinking. I am different from you who have been eliminated by the times. You are stubborn, stubborn, and rigid in thinking. You can't keep up with the trend at all..."
Yu Xiaoshu on the side was secretly happy.
He is worthy of being a cultured person, he is so sharp when it comes to insulting others.
"Just shut up now."
Wang Bao was very angry: "Why am I so stubborn? I didn't say I wouldn't shoot this drama? I just don't think it's good. If I was really stubborn, why would I come to you with the script yesterday?"
"You think I'm as stubborn as you, but you didn't expect that I'm so open-minded?"
Zou Jun said mercilessly.
“Oh my god!!”
Wang Bao was so angry that he even swore.
This Zou Jun is so annoying.
"Okay, I won't talk about you anymore."
Zou Jun waved his hand and said, "But Lao Wang, you can't do this. You must learn to keep pace with the times. The market is ever-changing. If you can't keep up with the market, you are doomed to be abandoned by the market."
"You're not done yet, are you?"
Wang Bao was so angry that his teeth itched: "Old Zou, do you believe that I can beat you?"
"I am a cultured person. I usually talk but never do anything."
Zou Jun said calmly: "Let's talk business."
You still know to talk about business?
Wang Bao wondered at this moment if Zou Jun had come here specifically to trick him?
If they were not old friends, Wang Bao would have thought that Zou Jun was here to stab him.
Even his face didn't change so quickly.
"Old Zou, do you think the script of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" can be filmed?"
Wang Bao took a deep breath and asked Zou Jun.
Zou Jun nodded: "Did I just say that in vain? I think this drama is not only worth filming, but it also has the potential to become a phenomenal online drama."
Another phenomenal one? ?
This phenomenon is not easy to come by. What's more, Wang Bao believes that "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is not only a phenomenon, but he also thinks it may fail.
"OK."
Wang Bao sighed, "Then I agree to this web drama. If I don't agree, I'll be an old antique."
"Alright, Xiaoshu can handle the script. I won't get involved. I'm leaving now."
Zou Jun said this and prepared to stand up and leave.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Since you're here, have some tea with me."
Wang Bao said speechlessly: "You just scolded me so harshly, it's not enough for you to drink tea with me."
"Did I scold you? I was guiding you so that you wouldn't go down the wrong path."
Zou Jun chuckled: "I do have something else to do, let's have tea next time."
"Then teacher, I'll take you there."
Yu Xiaoshu said this and stood up.
Wang Bao also stood up: "Let's go, I'll see you off too."
"Just let Xiaoshu take me there."
Zou Jun shook his head and said, "Just keep busy with your work."
Just like that, Yu Xiaoshu saw Zou Jun off from Baiqian Media.
"Okay, let's go back."
Zou Jun smiled and said to Yu Xiaoshu, "I know Lao Wang. He is stubborn. Although he agrees with your script, I don't think he will take it too seriously later. You should be mentally prepared."
"That's all right."
Yu Xiaoshu didn't care at all: "But thank you for what happened today, Teacher. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid Uncle Wang would have to continue to persuade me."
No one can stop the filming of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
In Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, if Wang Bao disagreed, it would only be a little troublesome.
What's more, Yu Xiaoshu is now going to film "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" and even if Wang Bao disagrees, he can't refuse.
Just as Wang Bao said, Yu Xiaoshu is now the mainstay of Baiqian Media.
But to be clear, even so, Yu Xiaoshu is still grateful to his teacher.
Take the initiative to be a bad guy.
"No need to thank me, just finish writing the script for "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"."
Zou Jun laughed: "Teacher believes in you."
After returning to his office, Yu Xiaoshu began to think about the casting for the online drama "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
First of all, Chen Qianqian asked Bao Nan to play the role, which was fixed.
In addition, there is the male protagonist Han Shuo.
In Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, apart from a number of good supporting characters, the soul of this web drama is Han Shuo.
Smart, scheming, good-looking and charming.
First of all, the appearance must of course be good, and secondly, the actor must be able to be either salty or sweet. If the appearance is good, then the character can be brought to life with the help of supporting characters.
Among these nine artists in Baiqian Media, the character of Han Shuo can be played by Wang Ziyi.
Wang Ziyi, who has good looks and a very tall stature, plays the role of Huangmao in "The Undocumented Crime". However, because of the makeup, Yu Xiaoshu believes that no one will be able to tell that Huangmao is Huangmao after he puts on the ancient costume.
Chen Qianqian and Han Shuo, these two characters are here.
For the time being, Baiqian Media doesn’t have anyone suitable for the role of Pei Heng.
As for Chen Qianqian's second sister Chen Chuchu, Yu Xiaoshu thinks that Wu Lan can play the role, as Wu Lan's acting skills are pretty good.
At present, the three main characters of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", Chen Qianqian, Han Shuo, and Chen Chuchu, will definitely be played by people from Baiqian Media.
Well, apart from these three people, the others can cooperate with Xiaoma Entertainment.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoshu opened the artist information sent by Judy.
