"Mr. Lin, most of the projects approved for the second half of this year are of the same type as 'Love Under the Moonlight.' Should we switch to something else...?"
"etc."
Lin Xiaoxiao was delighted to hear this. She had been thinking for a long time these past few days but couldn't come up with a genre for her next drama. Now, it had come to her in a perfectly good way.
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile. If everyone's making the same kind of dramas, then the audience will become immune to that genre. Half the sweetness, double the melodrama—she refused to believe she couldn't sabotage the reputation of a typical sweet romance drama! She was determined to fight this sweet romance drama to the bitter end!
The first season of "Love Under the Moonlight" was a huge hit, so audiences are bound to have high expectations for the second season. But when it airs, won't the entire series suffer a complete collapse in reputation?
"The next project is a sequel to 'Love Under the Moonlight'."
"But..."
"No buts, go prepare for the project approval."
Both Secretary Zhao and screenwriter He Yue looked troubled in the meeting room.
Secretary Zhao suggested, "President Lin, there are already over a hundred sweet romance dramas scheduled for release in the second half of the year. Continuing to film the same type of drama will easily lead to audience fatigue."
He Yue, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement. He Yue had completely given up on the idea of quitting the scriptwriting. She never expected that the suggestions given by CEO Lin would actually make the show a huge hit.
The huge success of "Love Under the Moonlight" led many entertainment companies to extend offers to He Yue. However, He Yue knew that the script was actually completed under the guidance of CEO Lin and wanted to continue learning from CEO Lin, so she signed with Feiyang Entertainment through Lin Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that both of them objected, Lin Xiaoxiao felt secretly smug. Sure enough, anyone with eyes could see it was a bad move, but to her, it was a good one. As for He Yue, who had just signed with the company, she was a little worried. After all, many people in the comments were simultaneously criticizing the screenwriter and praising the script. It seemed she would have to find someone outside the company.
Lin Xiaoxiao was already overjoyed with her "brilliant" move, so she took a tough stance and, like a dictator, directly approved the project.
Lin Xiaoxiao believed that before long, she would no longer have to rack her brains in this office. A mansion and global travel were just around the corner for her!
"There are still five months until the end of the year. We will start filming next month at the latest and strive to finish broadcasting before the end of the year."
There are always a lot of bad movies and TV shows being reviewed at the end of the year. The next show has to finish airing before the end of the year so that video bloggers can have some work material. The reputation of the show is ruined, so the show can return to its former glory and give out red envelopes at the end of the year so that other staff members can at least have some money on hand before finding their next job.
Secretary Zhao's eyes widened in shock. "Ah, there are only ten days left until next month. Isn't this too rushed? Shouldn't Feiyang Entertainment's second production be made even more refined?"
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "So many of our peers are making sweet romance dramas. What does that mean? It means the audience loves them! Of course, we have to seize the opportunity. With the success of the first season, I believe the audience will definitely watch our drama first. If we delay the release, there will be many alternatives that will steal our spotlight. In that case, we might as well establish our own popularity."
Secretary Zhao wiped non-existent sweat from his brow. Sure enough, he couldn't have any expectations of General Manager Lin. General Manager Lin's ideas were always so unconventional and illogical. He should contact his colleagues at headquarters more often and try to get a position back at headquarters after Feiyang Entertainment went bankrupt.
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to explain the key points of the script, she turned her head and saw He Yue carefully writing down every word she said in her notebook. Her heart suddenly clenched, but she suppressed it and said, "It hasn't been long since the last shoot ended, He Yue, you should take a rest first."
"Director Lin, I'm not tired, I don't need to rest. We have to hurry up and start filming in two weeks."
Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that He Yue, this young girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wouldn't want to rest. This was so contrary to the working class's mentality. You know, when she was working, she wished she could rest every day.
"Don't tell me what you think, listen to me, I think you need to rest."
Lin Xiaoxiao, worried that her tone might be too harsh, added, "Get some rest."
Meeting He Yue's excited, tearful eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy. Had she been found out that she was going to ruin the show?
"Director Lin, you're such a good person. I'll get some rest."
He Yue was moved to tears. She never expected that Director Lin had forbidden her from working overtime, but she would secretly work until very late. She would also secretly coordinate with other crew members. Sometimes she was so tired that she would just lie down somewhere and then get up and continue working.
Director Lin set specific mealtimes and even hired a cook to keep a close eye on everyone's eating schedules. As a result, aside from physical fatigue, He Yue didn't experience much stomach pain during this period. Therefore, He Yue was even more grateful to Director Lin. She was certain that Director Lin noticed her exhaustion and disregarded the upcoming drama to allow her to rest.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused, not knowing what He Yue was imagining, but since her goal had been achieved, she didn't think about it too much.
Secretary Zhao, standing to the side, felt even more hopeless. The subject matter was already unappealing, and now they were even letting a screenwriter who already had a huge hit drama write the script. It was just adding insult to injury. She could see the ending of the project at a glance. It seemed she should try to build a stronger relationship with her colleagues at headquarters. Who knows, if Feiyang Entertainment went bankrupt next year, she could go back there.
"Leave the script to me."
————
Lin Xiaoxiao spoke with great conviction at the time, initially full of confidence and prepared to write it herself, since she felt she couldn't rely on anyone else besides herself. She typed up the document and prepared to start writing, but as her tools filled the table and her hands touched the keyboard, she suddenly realized that she was no longer a corporate slave, but a rich second-generation.
