Xia Nuan kept checking her phone, and Li Jing didn't say anything. She told Li Jing that she was asking Ling Xiao about it for her.
I just needed an excuse to reply to Li Dongyang's message.
At this moment, Li Jing had no idea that she had given Xia Nuan a chance to dig a hole.
How would she feel if she knew she had dug herself into a huge hole?
And so, Xia Nuan began openly sending messages to Li Dongyang.
"I'm having dinner with Sister Jing. I'll chat with you later."
Li Dongyang: "By the way, let me ask you a question. Why are you afraid that Li Jing will find out about our relationship?"
Xia Nuan was dumbfounded by his question.
To be honest, she herself didn't know either.
"Isn't it normal for adults to date?"
Actually, Xia Nuan didn't know why, but she always felt guilty about having a relationship behind Li Jing's back.
Furthermore, the company has a contract that forbids employees from dating, otherwise they will have to pay a penalty for breach of contract.
Xia Nuan could only console herself with this thought.
The reason I was afraid Li Jing would find out was because I was afraid she would worry. If something happened during this period, the company would ask for the breach of contract penalty.
We'll have to wait a while before announcing our relationship.
"Could you ask Ling Xiao tomorrow if he's dating anyone? If not, that would be great."
"Let me tell you, Sister Jing has a crush on that young man."
This time, Xia Nuan looked up and met Li Jing's eyes again.
Of course, this time she didn't seem so surprised but asked cautiously.
"What did screenwriter Li say?"
Xia Nuan: "He said Ling Xiao is starting work today and will be at the company tomorrow, but he doesn't know how many days he'll stay."
After all, whether someone has experience in the production profession can be determined by spending a few days on set.
If it's okay, stay; if not, leave.
......
The Fog City, a luxurious office building.
The general manager of Douyin's film production company sat on the sofa, scrolling through the data of the company's short films.
I was initially very confident because I was from a large company and had a lot of traffic.
He was very confident that this short drama would be a big hit, but unexpectedly, a dark horse emerged out of nowhere.
The number of views for "It's Not That I Can't Do Without You" is now approaching 4 billion, while their company's short dramas haven't even sold for 1 billion.
He would feel more at ease if the other party was a large company.
But Extraordinary is just a small company.
The two short dramas themselves are not affected much, but in the long run, Douyin's traffic will inevitably be greatly affected.
Especially in the area of advertising and investment attraction.
The platform primarily makes money through big data.
If you can't recruit enough people, how can you make any money?
If things get any worse, he might lose his position as general manager.
A refined-looking man in a suit and tie sat in the boss's chair. His tone was very serious, and the people sitting on either side of him dared not utter a sound.
A suffocating atmosphere can be suffocating.
They have invested a lot of resources to barely get their company's short drama to reach 1 billion views.
It feels like Chaofan didn't do anything, yet he still made over 3 billion.
At first, he thought the other party had hired online trolls, but after checking, he found that their data was perfectly clean.
"How would you all respond?"
At the conference table, the people looked at each other.
They were full of confidence before comparing the two short dramas.
After all, no screenwriter can produce two hit shows in a row.
Because this situation had never occurred before.
The Douyin platform receives over a billion visits daily, and almost everyone in the country is using it.
They never expected their platform to lose to a small platform that didn't even make the top five.
"Mr. Qian, should we ask Qiao Yufan to help us write a high-quality short drama? Let's try to boost the ratings again."
Qian Jin remained silent, his expression cold.
"Writing and filming both take time. Which platform will stop and wait for you?"
"Can't you use your brain?"
Seeing that the person who came up with the idea was being scolded, no one present dared to utter a word.
Furthermore, it's not like I can't live without you; the momentum is still going strong, and even if I find a new drama, it might not be able to break through the previous situation.
Everyone stared at Qian Jin, afraid to voice their opinions.
Finally, someone fearless suggested, "Mr. Qian, how about we poach the director from Chaofan?"
A middle-aged woman in the personnel department immediately understood.
"I immediately went to contact the extraordinary director."
“I remember Wang Jiansheng came from the Extraordinary. We can use that connection to poach Qu Hengsheng.”
“I remember they used to be in the same department. Later, because of a change in leadership, Wang Jiansheng was dissatisfied with the management and resigned, which is why he came to our company.”
"It should be very easy to arrange a meeting with him for a fun-filled adventure."
The people at DouDou were unaware of the specifics of the extraordinary situation.
Qu Hengsheng and Wang Jiansheng were never on good terms.
He switched jobs because he was unhappy that a newcomer was overshadowing him during the merger. If he were asked to go to Fun Life now, what kind of expression would he have?
"I heard that Chaofan doesn't pay directors high salaries and commissions. As long as we're willing to spend money, poaching their directors should be easy."
Qian Jin didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that his suggestion had not been approved, he dared not speak up again.
However, this suggestion did remind Qian Jin.
The humorous anecdotes are not actually very meaningful; the most important person should be that young man named Li Dongyang.
The directors are all about the same level; the most important person is the one who writes the script.
"I'll give you three days to poach Li Dongyang for me. As for the price, you can name your price. As long as it's within the company's budget, the company can accept it."
"If you can't poach them, you might as well quit working for the company."
Upon hearing this, the production manager's expression changed instantly.
This marketing department really shot themselves in the foot; they were sitting in their chairs when trouble came out of nowhere.
Now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Although he didn't look too good, he still had to bite the bullet and continue.
"Mr. Qian, I'll ask Wang Jiansheng later to arrange a meeting with Li Dongyang. But could you give me a few more days?"
"If you want more time, then I'll do it myself. You can forget about being the production manager."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qian, I'll go find Wang Jiansheng right away to find out what's going on. If possible, I'll arrange to meet him tonight to talk."
After saying that, the man grabbed his notebook and left in a hurry.
The remaining people wished they could follow them.
But Qian Jin didn't say anything, so they could only sit there and wait.
With things starting to look promising, Qian Jin's mood improved slightly. He addressed everyone present, saying, "That concludes today's meeting. Everyone, please disperse!"
"The data this time is far from ideal, and I hope that this kind of thing will not happen again."
Wait until everyone leaves the office.
Qian Jin sat alone in his office chair, looking out the window.
A shrewd glint flashed in his eyes.
He then got up, took a cigarette from the cigarette pack on the table, and put it in his mouth.
It's a joke in the industry that such a large company like DouDou can't compete with a small company.
As Qian Jin stood by the window, a smoke ring slowly rose.
I wonder what he's thinking?
