Chapter 271 Good News
Xu Youyou:!!!
The way she looked at Liu Xiangyi now was as if she was looking at a shining money tree.
Messages from the company's top management group arrived at the same time as the system prompts.
“‘Ex-Husband Can’t’ is a big hit overseas! The platform’s revenue reached 100 million US dollars in one day!”
Xu Youyou had no idea what “Ex-Husband Can’t” was and stared at the words “100 million US dollars” in a daze.
Combining what other people in the group said, she found out that "Ex-Husband Can't" was a short drama produced by the company. The drama did not become a big hit in China, it could only be said to be a small hit, but who would have thought that after being remade into an overseas version, it would become such a huge hit.
Xu Youyou counted on her fingers to figure out how much of the money she could return to China, but before she could figure it out, good news came from the group.
“‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’ was named the best game of the year and won five awards at the TGA Awards! It broke the record in the gaming industry!”
Xu Youyou was stunned. This game had been popular from last year to this year, and had already made her and Peter a lot of money. She didn't expect that it would suddenly win so many awards.
She couldn't remember clearly whether she had won so many awards in her previous life, but the awards might help boost the game's revenue.
Good news comes one after another.
"Xiao Song's TV series has broken the ratings record! The ratings have exceeded 8! It's the biggest hit of the past decade! Now, film offers for him are coming like snowflakes!"
Xu Youyou was stunned. The TV series that Song Zhibai had recently released was the modern idol drama written by Su Wanyi.
Compared with ancient idol dramas, modern idol dramas haven’t had a big hit for a long time, and the few hit TV dramas that occasionally appear are all modern dramas.
Song Zhibai previously rose to the top of the charts with the help of a costume martial arts drama. Many people did not think he could maintain his position, but now that this hit has come out, the gap between him and other popular young actors is getting bigger and bigger. It is estimated that the popularity of the last nine of the top ten popular young actors combined cannot compare to his.
The current Song Zhibai is at least three times more popular than the Song Zhibai that Xu Youyou saw in her previous life.
While Xu Youyou was lamenting Song Zhibai's lack of communication skills, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Wanyi in her previous life.
The popularity of a TV series is never simply the result of the efforts of a certain star, but rather the mutual achievement of the script and the actors. Su Wanyi's script naturally deserves credit.
Su Wanyi clearly has such ability, but unfortunately she wasted her time in marriage in her previous life.
Xu Youyou immediately called Xie Ran again: "Your classmate, screenwriter Su, if she has a new script to shoot, directly make it a key project of the company, increase her voice in the crew, and try to make the project focus on screenwriting."
When Xie Ran heard this, he was happy for his old classmate, but he couldn't help but say, "Boss, nowadays, most TV dramas in China are centered around big stars. It's rare that you think this way."
Xu Youyou said: "The script is the foundation of a play. Don't worry about what other companies do. We just need to do our own thing. We also try to reduce cooperation with those celebrities who only care about playing big names."
Hearing Xu Youyou say this, Xie Ran asked helplessly: "Boss, have you heard anything?"
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not answer immediately. Instead, she said, "Tell me in detail."
Xie Ran explained: "There was a star, considered a top female star, who got into a project at our company because the role was suitable, but after getting in, she acted like a big shot and asked the screenwriter to change the script."
Xu Youyou was also very concerned about her company's new project. When she heard this, a name immediately popped up in her mind: "Zheng Siyu? How did you handle it?"
Xie Ran said, "Since she violated the contract first, we don't have to pay her any liquidated damages if we ask her to leave the crew. But she has a lot of fans, and now there's a lot of noise about this on Weibo, and even Xiao Song is involved... Huh?"
Xu Youyou listened to Xie Ran's sudden surprise and asked, "What happened? Are her fans still making trouble? Don't worry about her. No matter how big the matter is, it can't affect the normal filming of our crew."
Xie Ran's tone was somewhat inexplicable: "This is strange, we haven't done anything yet, why did she collapse first?"
Xu Youyou was stunned.
"She was reported for tax evasion, and the amount involved is 200 million yuan. The official notice has just been issued. Fortunately, we asked her to leave after only three days of filming. It doesn't have a big impact on us. It's just a pity that the two TV series she finished filming have not been released yet." Xie Ran said.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but glanced at Liu Xiangyi who was standing beside her and knew nothing about it.
Is this the power of koi? Love it!
"Next time you encounter something like this, you still have to deal with it according to this plan. Our company is committed to producing high-quality products, so don't tolerate these pests." Xu Youyou said.
Xie Ran asked again: "Boss, what kind of job do you plan to assign Liu Xiangyi?"
Xu Youyou thought for a moment and asked, "What is my current position in the company?"
Xie Ran said: "You don't have a specific position, you are a director of the company."
The reason why Xie Ran took the initiative to ask about Liu Xiangyi was because Xu Youyou valued her so much. Her contract was drafted by Xu Youyou at his urging. After signing abroad, Xu Youyou sent the contract back to China in the shortest time possible and asked Xie Ran to complete the employment procedures for this person today.
This means that Liu Xiangyi’s salary will be calculated starting from today.
As an ordinary person, Xie Ran, seeing that his boss valued Liu Xiangyi so much, naturally wanted to find out more so as to determine the appropriate degree of interaction with Liu Xiangyi.
Xu Youyou said, "Then let her be the director's special assistant. Arrange an independent office for her with complete facilities so that she can stay there happily. If there is any work she can do, let her do it and don't tire her out."
When Xie Ran heard this, his first reaction was "connected".
"Although twenty-fifth days have passed this month, Liu Xiangyi's salary is paid on a full-term basis. I know this is against the company's rules, so I will pay the difference out of my own pocket," said Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou's company has a very generous budget. Those who join the company in the first half of the month will receive a full month's salary, and those who join the company in the second half of the month will receive half a month's salary.
Xie Ran listened to Xu Youyou's appreciation of Liu Xiangyi, and thought that Xu Youyou was now abroad. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Liu Xiangyi saved Xu Youyou's life abroad?
"She is going back to China soon, and we have to arrange a staff dormitory for her... Forget it, don't arrange a staff dormitory for her. She will live with me in the house in Tomson Yipin." Xu Youyou instructed almost every detail.
Xie Ran had a deeper understanding of how much Liu Xiangyi valued him.
Liu Xiangyi was listening to these words and was so moved that tears came out. She wished she could return to China and start working right away.
The earliest flight back home is in the afternoon. After lunch, Xu Youyou planned to send a group of people to the airport.
She herself has already planned to return to her country.
However, the car had not yet arrived at the airport and was less than 2 kilometers away from the hotel when Liu Xiangyi suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Why is she here?" Liu Xiangyi was surprised.
