Chapter 964: What happened to the equal treatment you promised?
Taking the lead, several middle-aged CEOs sitting on both sides of the long table stood up and said goodbye. They were very straightforward and did not give Sun Shang any chance to keep them.
They are the ones who go back on their words. It would be embarrassing if they stayed longer.
There were originally eighteen seats full, but less than half of them were occupied at once. Sun Shang, who considered himself the big brother, turned pale and the veins on his hand holding the cup bulged.
He never thought that just by mentioning that Blue Whale Entertainment was going to hold a TV festival, so many people would back out.
WBD, they are all villains who rush in when they see benefits, but back off when they see they have to spend money.
"Mr. Sun, you see so many people have left. How about you give us a plan on what we should do next?"
Seeing so many people leaving, a middle-aged Mediterranean boss who still considered himself to be of high status asked the leader of the preparatory organizing committee.
Without these seven or eight people, the original investment plan will definitely have to be rearranged.
According to the sharing standards, each of them needs about twice as much funds.
As for the money, it’s easy to talk about. The problem is that without the participation of so many film and television companies, the momentum of their TV festival has been reduced by at least half, and the future is uncertain.
"I'll discuss this with the person in charge at Jiangchuan University."
Sun Shang felt depressed, but he had to swallow it down and told the only way to deal with it at the moment.
What can he do in this situation? Can he beg those people to come back?
Sun Shang, who was originally confident in forming a film and television alliance to compete with Blue Whale Entertainment, suddenly felt deeply frustrated. It is really difficult to do something these days.
At this point, he could only ask the teachers at Jiangchuan University to see if there were any good ideas, and then find some influential film and television companies to join in and successfully organize this TV festival.
As for seeking help from family, forget it.
Something like a TV festival cannot be organized just by relying on connections. Many aspects must be considered. Otherwise, why would he seek cooperation from these old foxes?
"Okay, then we'll wait for good news from Mr. Sun."
After the middle-aged Mediterranean boss finished speaking, the rest of the people also prepared to leave.
If there is no better way, they feel that this preparatory meeting will basically fail.
The invited artists who were unaware of the situation, seeing the CEOs of the film and television companies leaving, knew that the dinner was almost coming to an end, and they consciously stood up and left.
Naturally, the positions of the judges will not be easily decided at this dinner, and they will have to be negotiated privately when they return.
"Mr. Zhou is really knowledgeable. I have questions about the script in the future. I wonder if I can ask you for more advice?"
Continuing to chat about script-related topics, Shen Liusu, who noticed that it was getting a little late, asked with a smile.
"certainly."
Listening to the other party's unintentional words, Zhou Anan, who remembered a certain allusion, smiled meaningfully and answered with certainty.
At this time, he didn't know that a casual remark he made almost caused the so-called Southern Television Festival Preparatory Committee to fall apart.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't react much.
It’s none of his business. He is also a victim. Hasn’t he seen that he is being excluded by so many film and television companies?
"To thank Mr. Zhou for his promise, how about I treat you to a midnight snack today?"
“.”
"Zheng'er, you see Liusu and Mr. Zhou are chatting so happily, should we go up and have a few words?"
Weng Zhengxue, who was sitting in her original seat, saw Shen Liusu and the young CEO chatting so speculatively, and couldn't help but say to her friend.
If she had known that the boss was so easy to talk to, she would not have provoked Shen Liusu to go over there, but would have gone there herself.
In this situation, it is possible that the young CEO’s favorability will be wiped out by Shen Liusu.
There was no use regretting, she had to seize the opportunity and go against the current.
"I just asked you to go, but you didn't want to go. Now I won't go. If you want to go, go by yourself."
Rolling his eyes at his friend who had the intention but not the courage to do something evil, Li Zhen smiled and rejected the other party's proposal.
"Well, let's go."
Thinking of his previous hesitation and missed opportunity, Weng Zhengxue raised his eyebrows, stood up and walked towards the young boss.
Do you really think she doesn't dare? She just can't save face and needs an excuse.
"Boss Zhou, are you leaving now?"
After finally finding an opportunity to go over and talk to him, Weng Zhengxue unexpectedly noticed that the young boss was about to get up and leave when he got closer. She couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"I want to invite Mr. Zhou to sing. Xue'er, do you want to go?"
Seeing the other party coming over, Shen Liusu took the opportunity to gently hold the young CEO's arm and asked the other party with a smile.
Haha, I was just watching her show, but I didn’t expect that she would win so quickly.
"If Mr. Zhou doesn't mind, of course I'm willing to do so."
After hearing the other party's provocative words, Weng Zhengxue blinked, responded immediately, and looked at the new boss with sharp eyes.
As the male lead, Zhou Anan, seeing the subtle competition between the two, couldn't help but sigh that these female artists in their thirties were too bold.
This has never happened to the young female artists he has talked to in the company.
Although it was related to his reasonable arrangement of time, those young girls were not so shameless.
A beauty who is as beautiful as a wolf in her thirties is too good to be provoked.
"If you are free, Li Zhen, let's go sing a song together."
Faced with the two women's "jealousy", Zhou Anan did not respond directly, but spoke to her own female artist who had just walked behind Weng Zhengxue.
"OK."
Hearing the young boss' invitation, Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go together."
When singing with three beautiful and famous celebrities, privacy is naturally very important.
If possible, it would be best to go to those private clubs, but there are many celebrities and artists at the TV festival preparatory meeting tonight, and there may be paparazzi lurking in the underground parking lot.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Anan quickly chose the KTV belonging to this international hotel and asked for a luxurious private room.
"Mr. Zhou, how about we sing a duet first?"
After sitting down, Shen Liusu didn’t hesitate to ask the young CEO directly.
Now that she has just joined Blue Whale Entertainment, she naturally has to perform well in front of this young boss.
She doesn't want to be as successful as Li Zhen, but she also hopes to get more and better resources.
“I’m not a very good singer.”
Zhou Anan behaved very modestly in front of the beautiful artist she met on the first day.
Indeed, except for the few songs he practiced frequently in his previous life, he was not very good at singing the rest.
"It's okay. My singing skills are terrible. How about this song Sweet Honey?"
"good."
Since the other party was so proactive, it was naturally difficult for Zhou Anan to refuse.
"Mr. Zhou, drink some water to moisten your throat first."
Before he knew it, someone got there first. Weng Zhengxue, who was sitting on the sofa, was not willing to be outdone and offered the young boss a glass of water.
"Thanks."
Taking the water handed over by the beauty, Zhou Anan smiled and thanked her, then he saw Shen Liusu, who was holding two microphones, sitting next to him and handed him a microphone with a smile on his face.
"Sweet, your smile is so sweet."
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, Zhou Anan found that her level was really not up to par. She didn't expect that Shen Liusu sang this old song really well. She was beautiful and had a sweet voice.
Well, considering the other person's age, he is indeed better at this type of song.
Of course, coming to KTV is not to compete in skills. When the other party paused, Zhou Anan also started singing along with the lyrics.
It is impossible for him to sing very well, but he can be a singing machine without any emotion. Just don't sing too far away, or just read the lyrics.
"Sweet Honey"
After the other party sang a section, Shen Liusu took the opportunity to hold the other party's hand when he continued to sing, and looked at the other party with affectionate eyes.
“.”
At that moment, Zhou Anan felt as if he had been shocked by 100,000 volts of electricity.
Li Zhen and the other person who were sitting nearby saw this and couldn't help but admire the methods of their colleague.
Although they can do it, it's really amazing that they were so relaxed on the first day they met the young boss.
"The company has an urban drama project in the second half of the year, with two female leads. One of the roles is quite suitable for you. You can go for an audition later. It will be a good opportunity to improve your inherent screen image."
After the song was finished, Zhou Anan, who had been electrified for half of the song, was very satisfied with Shen Liusu's voice and decided to give her a chance.
Anyway, the other party is Stella, one of the original leading actors in the previous life. She can be considered a guarantee of ratings, and giving it away is also for the sake of the company's profits.
However, the first female lead in the original version was a bit stupid. Since the original starring role, Xijiang Little Sheep, was the girl with whom he had an in-depth conversation about life, she naturally could not play such a negative role, and the editorial department needed to modify the specific plot.
Yes, that drama was "Perfect Man and Woman", which brought bad luck to Xijiang Little Sheep but indirectly increased Shen Liusu's popularity. It was the script that Zhou Anan recalled in her mind after seeing the other party.
It’s just that he didn’t have a deep impression of the TV series and he didn’t watch it all.
But these are not problems. As the best screenwriter of Blue Whale Entertainment, he always gives a vague plot and leaves the rest to professional screenwriters and writers to perfect.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I'll toast you a glass."
Unexpectedly, just by singing a song with the other party, he immediately got a role. The excited Shen Liusu didn't care at all that he usually had to pay attention to his drinking capacity, and picked up a small half glass of cocktail and drank it.
"Don't thank me. I just use people according to their abilities."
After taking a small sip, Zhou Anan told the truth.
However, the two beauties next to them could not sit still, and Weng Zhengxue, who had just joined Blue Whale, widened her eyes.
Looking at his friend and then at the young boss, Weng Zhengxue's eyes were full of confusion.
What about the equal treatment, equal resources, and equal opportunities?
Is it just that careless?
"I didn't know it would be like this. My previous opportunities didn't depend on this."
Understanding the meaning in his friend's eyes, Li Zhen responded with his eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.
Although she joined Blue Whale Entertainment earlier than the other two and got one of the leading actresses in a blockbuster movie with hundreds of millions of investment, she had few opportunities to interact with this young CEO, so how could she know his personality clearly.
If she had known this would happen, she would have done it herself and would not have given them a turn.
"Hmph, watch me."
Thinking in her heart, Weng Zhengxue raised her eyebrows and sat down next to the young CEO without any hesitation, and said sweetly: "Boss Zhou, let me sing a song with you."
"Well, you can see that I'm not very good at singing."
"It's okay, just tell me the name of a song and I'll sing along with you."
"Then what's left for another song?"
"OK."
Hearing the young boss's request, Weng Zhengxue quickly selected the song on the machine, then quickly sat back in his seat, waiting to perform well for the other party.
"A fallen leaf, swaying in the wind, seeing how insignificant I am."
As soon as the girl opened her mouth, her elegant voice made Zhou Anan raise his eyebrows. The version that left the deepest impression on him was actually Ouyang Qiuci's version, which was as gentle as water.
Unexpectedly, this little-known singer Weng Zhengxue sang with a unique flavor that made people feel excited.
"What is left? Only two frozen tears"
Inspired by the other party's strength, Zhou Anan's singing became worse.
My heartbeat is faster and a little out of tune, but that's normal, very normal.
"good"
However, as soon as Zhou Anan stopped talking, he immediately heard Shen Liusu next to him picking up the "little palm" to cheer and applaud, which almost made him swell.
Li Zhen, who was half an outsider, covered his forehead and was almost embarrassed to recognize this junior school girl.
"Mr. Zhou, you are so modest. You sang so well that I almost felt embarrassed afterwards."
After singing a song, Weng Zhengxue complimented the other party at the right time to prevent another shameless colleague from taking all the credit.
“.”
After carefully looking at the sweet smile on the other person's face and making sure that it was not sarcastic, Zhou Anan nodded modestly and said, "It's still up to you to sing. I see that you have mostly sung Republican dramas before. Are you interested in trying urban dramas?"
"Well, I feel that many of the previous dramas are not suitable for me, and I am thinking about transforming myself and making a breakthrough. You are very thoughtful. I toast to you."
Happiness came suddenly, how could Weng Zhengxue refuse? She simply picked up the wine glass and started drinking.
What's more, the Republican drama scripts she had obtained before did not make her successful. The urban dramas produced by Blue Whale Entertainment in the past two years have always been a guarantee of ratings, and can definitely change her current tepid situation.
"Okay then, I'll have someone arrange it then."
Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Zhou Anan did not say much and took a small sip slowly.
Given Weng Zhengxue's age and image, she is quite suitable for a certain urban drama starring the old cadre Le Xian, which tells the story of a full-time housewife who rises again after a failed marriage.
"Mr. Zhou, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other, sing a song with me too."
Li Zhen, who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai, stood in front of the young boss without him noticing when, bent over and extended his hand to invite him.
It's just a matter of pleasing the young boss. It seems everyone can do that.
At least, as a veteran employee of Blue Whale Entertainment, she has inherent advantages.
"What are you singing?"
Facing the female artist from her own company, Zhou Anan couldn't help but give her face, so she held her hand and stood up.
"How about singing You are the song in my heart?"
"good."
Seeing that Li Zhen had chosen such a meaningful song, Shen Liusu, who was originally a little embarrassed, couldn't help but look at each other, and saw deep contempt and condemnation in each other's eyes.
The other party already had a role in a blockbuster movie directed by the great director Li Donglai with a budget of hundreds of millions, yet he was competing with these two good friends for it. It was really unacceptable.
No matter what, we have to give way to these newcomers!!
"You are a song in my heart, a flower blooming in my heart."
As soon as Li Zhen opened his mouth, Mr. Zhou's heart skipped a beat.
As the song played, the two of them held hands and slowly moved closer to him. Looking into each other's eyes, Zhou Anan seemed to see a hint of affection in them.
hiss.
