afternoon.
Zhang Shulan, in her capacity as director of Wanxia Music Company, met with Zhang Fengxue.
Zhang Fengxue originally didn't plan to come out, but after checking, she found out that the director had so much power in this company. Her personal appearance must mean that she accepted the price of 800,000.
Finally, the two arranged to meet at a restaurant on the corner of Chinatown.
After finding Zhang Shulan in person, Zhang Fengxue asked, "Is it... Director Zhang Shulan?"
She suddenly realized that the director was quite good-looking. At first glance, she looked like a mature woman in her thirties. Although the years had left their mark on her face, they had also added to her charm and elegance.
"Let me be frank," Zhang Shulan said, sounding like she was in a hurry. "My company's manager told me they want you to give a review and promote the movie, and they're asking for 800,000 yuan, right?"
Zhang Fengxue sat down, but instead of ordering anything, she said with a serious expression, "Anything below 800,000 is out of the question."
Zhang Shulan: "The fact that I came to see you in person today is enough to show Wanxia's sincerity. Wanxia is indeed interested in your account with tens of millions of followers, but... Ms. Zhang, you also need to understand that the price of 800,000 is far beyond the market price, at least 4.5 times higher. Do you think this price is reasonable? You are not sincere in cooperating."
Zhang Fengxue understood the other party's reaction, but she couldn't say that they had taken over Rizhao's order to smear Li Zhaoyang's new movie: "What I can tell you is that if Wanxia accepts this price, she won't lose out. As for why she won't lose out, I will tell you why I am worth this price after the contract is signed."
Before signing a contract with Wanxia, Zhang Fengxue clearly wouldn't expose her upstream client.
Zhang Shulan's lips curled up, and then she stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Zhang, I don't think there's any need for us to continue this discussion, because you really don't deserve the price of 800,000."
She already had the answer in her heart, and there was no point in continuing the conversation.
Next, I arranged to meet with Noda and Watanabe.
After seeing Director Wanxia leave, Zhang Fengxue looked completely bewildered: "Why did you ask me out if you can't accept a price of 800,000? What a waste of time..."
This intensified Zhang Fengxue's resentment towards Wanxia, and she was already eagerly awaiting the release of Li Zhaoyang's new movie.
She'll give it a good critique then.
...
Half an hour later, Zhang Shulan changed streets and met with the two responsible persons.
They initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing that Zhang Shulan had brought a contract, they went to the bar she had mentioned almost without hesitation.
When Noda got to the door, he realized that Watanabe No was there.
Watanabe, too, upon seeing Noda, tentatively asked, "You're here too...?"
Noda nodded: "This woman brought the contract; there must be something she needs to negotiate with us."
Watanabe: "That's perfect. I've wanted to get the contract back for a while, but I didn't dare to breach it because of Chairman Ka's influence."
The two walked into the bar at the same time, found Zhang Shulan sitting in the corner, and quickly went over to sit down.
"Hehe... Director Zhang, we can finally sit down and talk about work properly." Noda had met Zhang Shulan more than once or twice, but this time, he finally had enough time and energy to take a good look at this woman.
This is the woman who got Sihai Group to invest 100 million yuan back then, and in the end, she made a beautiful wedding dress for Wanxia.
Noda was almost furious at that moment.
She looked like a frail woman, but I never expected her to harbor so many treacherous and cunning schemes.
“It’s time to talk.” Zhang Shulan didn’t rush into the topic, but instead took a sip of low-alcohol liquor mixed with Sprite.
"Tell me, Director Zhang, how would you like to discuss this?" Watanabe only cared about the contract.
Zhang Shulan: "What's the rush? Let's listen to the music in the bar first. It's been a long time since I've sat here in a bar and enjoyed a drink."
After listening for about ten minutes, Watanabe became a little impatient: "Director Zhang! We are all very busy, so let's not waste time."
Zhang Shulan suddenly said, "I want the two of you to help Li Zhaoyang's new movie."
Watanabe was shocked: "Protect and protect? Did you use the wrong word? You want us to... protect and protect that slut Li's movie?"
Noda almost cursed out loud: "Damn it, that bastard Li made us suffer so much... Heh, I have to say, you've got a pretty good plan."
Zhang Shulan: "Do you think this deal is worthwhile? I've already brought the contract with me."
As she spoke, she pulled three contracts out of her shoulder bag.
Two of them were signed with Noda and Watanabe.
The remaining contract was a new contract drafted by the legal department at Zhang Shulan's request. It was a legally binding agreement between the two responsible persons to protect Li Zhaoyang's new film.
"Three contracts?" Watanabe picked them up and glanced at them briefly. To be honest, he had an urge to tear them up.
Noda was the same.
But they knew that Director Zhang was very shrewd and it was definitely not that simple; perhaps the contract he brought was a photocopy.
“Once you sign the commitment contract, our deal is done.” Zhang Shulan had been observing the changes in the expressions of the two people in charge.
"Does Director Zhang really think we're fools?" Watanabe's face suddenly flashed with a sinister look: "There's no way we'd protect that bastard Li's new movie. Unless that bastard Li comes in person, kneels down and kowtows to us three times, we might consider it."
Noda has already returned the contract.
The contract, at most, will only cause them to lose some of their profits.
But to defend that scoundrel Li's new movie would be tantamount to stabbing a crow in the back.
They were even disgusted by Sunset's behavior this time.
Having just been tricked once, they now have to protect the other party's new movie.
That's bullshit.
“I don’t think you have any reason to refuse.” Zhang Shulan displayed a controlling attitude towards the two of them: “Minister Noda, you need to understand that the largest annual film music order is worth at least $20 million. Giving such an order to our competitors can establish a better cooperative relationship, but this order was given to Sunset. Don’t you want to take it back?”
Noda snapped, "You idiot! Director Zhang, are you still trying to disgust me?"
Didn't he know that this order was worth more than $20 million?
Enraged that this bitch had specifically brought it up, Noda got up and stormed off.
Watanabe had originally intended to chat for a bit, but after seeing the negotiations, he got up and left.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw out a harsh remark: "Heh, Director Zhang, there's no way we'll protect you. You guys at Wanxia, be prepared, a dismal box office is a foregone conclusion."
After the other party finished making harsh remarks, Zhang Shulan added, "Of the 10 million yuan invested by Rizhao, 3 million yuan was contributed to the association, and the rest was used to increase funding for this film. However, there should still be about one or two million US dollars left, which can be used to buy 'screening opportunities'."
Watanabe's expression immediately turned ferocious, but he forcibly suppressed it and quickly left; he didn't want to see that bitch anymore.
That's disgusting.
Buy screening slots?
Eat shit, you Chinese bitch.
"Noda!" Watanabe shouted from outside the bar, "Tell Zhang Zhen and Zhang Shulan that they came to see us tonight, and tell them to suppress Wanxia in terms of film scheduling."
Not to mention Watanabe, Noda would do the same thing. He even has a more ruthless method: "Squeezing out screenings isn't enough... why not take that bastard Lee's movie off the shelves? He's invested so much money and in the end he can't make any money in theaters."
Watanabe's eyes lit up: "Let's meet with Chang Chen to discuss this plan in detail!"
Noda sneered, "This bitch thinks she has us under her thumb... Let her see the immense wealth behind us!"
The two contestants exchanged a glance, both revealing a ruthless look.
