Chapter 151 Like a Reckless Boy
"What's going on? The stitches have been removed. I'm coming to work."
Fang Li walked straight into the office, hung up her bag, and walked behind her desk.
Zhou Yufan followed in and stood in front of the table looking at her.
Fang Li's expression was calm. She turned on the computer, glanced at the cup beside her, picked it up and walked towards the tea room.
Zhou Yufan watched quietly and didn't follow.
A few minutes later, Fang Li came in with half a cup of coffee and sat back at her desk.
Zhou Yufan raised his slightly frowned brows and said, "Something's wrong with you."
Fang Li paused in her coffee drinking, then took a sip, put down the cup, and looked at him.
Zhou Yufan: "Did you have a fight with your guy?"
Fang Li: “......” A hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face.
soon.
But Zhou Yufan still caught it easily.
"No wonder the famous President Han also acts like a reckless brat."
"What do you want to say? When did you become so familiar with Han Xi? Why did you mention him?"
"I can't even mention it. It seems the problem is really serious."
"......" Fang Li was too lazy to argue with him, "Shouldn't we have a meeting? Can we start it yet?"
Seeing her stand up and walk towards the meeting room with her computer, Zhou Yufan followed her and whispered, "I don't know what happened between you, but there's something I feel I need to tell you."
Fang Li stopped and looked at him.
Zhou Yufan: "Boss Han just arrived."
"He's here?!" Fang Li was surprised. "Where is he?"
Zhou Yufan said, "Left again."
“.......”
"Just left a few minutes before you walked in."
Fang Li breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something and said in a somewhat awkward tone, "You didn't tell him anything, did you?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's okay if you didn't say anything. You don't know how bad he is!" Fang Li was angry at the bottom of her heart, and her eyebrows couldn't help but frowned: "Last night, last night..."
"last night?"
The two looked at each other, and there was a strong curiosity in Zhou Yufan's eyes.
Fang Li swallowed and looked away awkwardly, "Anyway, next time you see him, just pretend you don't know him and don't tell him about me."
It seems that there is a real conflict.
Zhou Yufan raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
The two entered the conference room one after the other. A total of twelve employees in the studio were present.
Fang Li was injured shortly after the studio was established. Now when she suddenly faced all the employees, she felt a little uneasy.
"Mr. Xu."
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
"Mr. Xu."
.......
"Sister Fang Li."
The last one is Ji Tiantian.
Everyone greeted her one by one, and Fang Li was a little uncomfortable with such enthusiasm.
He smiled and waved to everyone.
Zhou Yufan noticed her reaction and sat down at his seat. "Well, now that President Xu is back, our Liyun ship is officially about to set sail. Tiantian, you will continue to be President Xu's assistant."
"I know, Director Zhou."
Ji Tiantian looks like she has changed a lot. Today she is wearing a pair of black skinny pants and a loose Korean-style suit, which gives her a bit of the temperament of a professional woman.
She looked at Fang Li happily and whispered, "Boss Xu, you're finally back."
"Thank you for your hard work." Fang Li responded with a faint smile.
Ji Tiantian shook her head: "It's not hard. With President Zhou here, we don't have to worry about anything."
Zhou Yufan continued, "Our Liyun Studio has just been established. We have no connections or reputation in the industry, so we'll have an extremely difficult battle ahead. Two days ago, I attended the Wenxi Film and Television charity dinner, and I've already met with several producers and directors. They've expressed their initial interest in collaborating. Whether this collaboration will be successful depends on whether everyone here can produce work that satisfies them."
The next step was to have a detailed discussion on the commissioning intentions of several directors and producers.
In the past two years, the film and television industry seems to have entered a period of fatigue. There are fewer and fewer original scripts, and most of them are adapted from online novels.
Eighty percent of these scripts are either unrealistic modern idol dramas or ancient idol dramas with outdated routines.
Many works require huge initial investments, but after they are broadcast, they are overshadowed by new works without even making a splash.
Hundreds of large film crews couldn't even make back their most basic initial investment in the end.
This has led to some well-known directors and producers being extremely cautious when choosing scripts. After all, no one can afford to lose huge amounts of money on an investment of tens of millions.
"Director Zhang said that if there is a script with a novel theme, preferably one that can stand out in the current film and television environment, he would consider our studio."
Zhou Yufan frowned. "The key point now is that I briefly introduced to him the several new scripts we came up with a while ago, but he wasn't very satisfied."
Liyun is just a small studio, newly established and not well-known at all.
If it weren't for the great Zhou Yufan, these well-known directors and producers probably wouldn't even show any intention to cooperate.
Major film and television companies have their own editorial departments and rarely select manuscripts from outside.
It is extremely difficult to find a suitable party and reach a cooperation agreement.
If they fail to seize the opportunity this time, Li Yun's future will be difficult.
Everyone present looked distressed.
Most of the people sitting here are talented but not recognized, or newcomers to the workplace. Compared with the senior editors of film and television giants, everyone is obviously under tremendous pressure.
Fang Li naturally knew this as well.
This is the dilemma Li Yun is facing now, and it is also the current situation she had anticipated before establishing Li Yun. With Li Yun's current strength, Li Yun has no chance at all in this circle.
Zhou Yufan leaned back in his chair, his hands crossed against his forehead. The half of his face that was exposed had tense lines on it, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Fang Li glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and then spoke lightly.
"I have an idea."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her.
Even Zhou Yufan, who was standing beside her, raised his head and looked at her curiously.
"We are focusing on both online IP adaptation and original scripts."
"What you mean is..." Zhou Yufan raised his eyebrows.
Fang Li: "I've taken a brief look at the projects invested in by several major domestic film and television companies in recent years. Eighty percent of them are adaptations of currently popular literary works, which shows that IP adaptation still has huge market potential."
"With the development of technology and changes in the market, online IP adaptation will become more diversified and international. It is not too late for us to explore and invest in this market now."
Everyone nodded, this was indeed a way.
Some good online IPs already have a huge initial fan base, which undoubtedly gives film and television adaptations great confidence, but at the same time it is also a double-edged sword. If they are blindly modified, they are likely to be attacked and boycotted by fans of the original works.
Fang Li's face remained calm as she continued, "There's a saying that goes, 'Cast a wide net and focus on training.' On the one hand, we'll screen for IP projects with investment potential on major platforms and websites, and secure the copyrights before the works become popular. On the other hand, we'll still have to rely on everyone to try to come up with a few new scripts and see if we can keep the opportunity that senior worked so hard to secure."
