Tan Mo smiled when he heard this.
“Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for Kefeng Films, and I won’t let Kefeng Films suffer any losses. I won’t act recklessly just because of Brother Zhiqian. Moreover, I also know that as a newcomer director, my brother hasn’t made any representative films before. As his younger sister, I have confidence in him. But business is business, and doing business isn’t charity. Naturally, I wouldn’t place such a heavy bet on a new director. However, the venture capital investment is because of Brother Zhiqian. But no matter what, for Kefeng Films to be able to invest so much in my brother at this time, I will always be grateful. I definitely won’t do anything harmful to Brother Zhiqian,” said Tan Mo.
Yan Zhengxing thought in shock, “What the hell is up with the Brother Zhiqian thing?
Wasn’t he still calling him Uncle before?
How did he become a big brother so quickly?”
“I got it.” Yan Zhengxing nodded and said, “Tomorrow at 10 o’clock in the morning, are you free?”
Knowing that Tan Mo was still in school, Yan Zhengxing was worried that Tan Mo had classes.
“I’m free,” Tan Mo replied.
“Okay, then tomorrow at 10 am, come over with director Tan and have a meeting with the relevant departments,” said Yan Zhengxing.
Tan Mo agreed and hung up the phone.
Yan Zhengxing couldn’t help but think about the conversation he had with Tan Mo.
After thinking about it, he thought about Tan Mo’s last words.
At this moment, without the shock of calling him “Brother Zhiqian,” Yan Zhengxing also came back to his senses.
Tan Mo was really someone who was good with words.
She only said that she was grateful to Kefeng Films and wouldn’t do anything harmful to Kefeng Films.
That did not mean that she would not do anything that would harm him, Yan Zhengxing, personally.
After all, he could not be compared to Kefeng Films personally.
However, Yan Zhengxing thought about it carefully. He did not do anything that would harm Kefeng Films, nor did he do anything that would harm Tan Mo and Tan Tan.
So there was no need to be afraid.
As he thought about it, Yan Zhengxing suddenly stopped.
Why would he be afraid?
He had only met Tan Mo a few times, and he had not seen what Tan Mo was doing.
“Why was he afraid?” Yan Zhengxing mumbled to himself.
Although Tan Mo said that there was no need to ask anyone, she would clarify it tomorrow.
But Yan Zhengxing could not really ignore it.
He still called the operations manager to ask about the situation.
After asking, he called Tan Mo again and told Tan Mo so that she knew what to do.
He had just hung up the phone with Tan Mo. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiqian called.
Yan Zhengxing mumbled, “Didn’t Tan Mo say that he wouldn’t tell anyone?”
Could it be that he turned around and complained to Wei Zhiqian?
Wei Zhiqian was actually able to look for Tan Mo even when he was on a business trip.
Wei Zhiqian went on a business trip and had a lot of things to do.
He was busy from morning to night and had to attend many social events.
In a day, he was busier than he was in B city.
At this time, Wei Zhiqian should still be socializing with others.
To think that he still had the time to make this call.
Yan Zhengxing picked up the phone. “President.”
“What’s the schedule for ‘Nine Heavens’? I just saw on Weibo that the schedule for ‘Nine Heavens’ has collided with ‘Broken Continent’,” Wei Zhiqian said in a deep voice.
Although “Broken Continent” had a high investment, other than Guo Shaoyu, the number of fans was average. In addition, the director, Tan Jinqi, was also not well-known.
Although the title of Hou Yuehai’s disciple was used during the publicity, the audience still did not buy it.
They felt that the title of Hou Yuehai’s disciple was a little fake. It was not Hou Yuehai himself. So what if it was a disciple?
The standard wasn’t necessarily high.
Coupled with the cast, it really made people not want to see it.
On the other hand, “Nine Heavens” was very good from the director to the cast.
With the fans of the male and female lead, the discussion was also high.
The cast and crew of “Nine Heavens” had money, and they directly bought a lot of online traffic to make themselves a popular topic on the net.
This took the discussion of the fans to another level.
At the same time, they released a trailer for the fixed schedule. The popularity of “Nine Heavens” had already suppressed “Broken Continent” to death.
This made Wei Zhiqian very angry.
But how did Kefeng Films manage to pull this off?
Yan Zhengxing hesitated for a moment. He said, “I just asked my colleagues in the operations department, and they said that the research data of “Broken Continent” was not ideal. Because it was an S + project, if it failed, Kefeng Films would be ridiculed, so they arranged for “Nine Heavens” to be broadcast at the same time as “Broken Continent.
In addition, according to my colleagues in the marketing department, the two main actors of ‘Broken Continent’ each had many high-quality endorsements. They brought their endorsements into the group, and the brands they endorsed also sponsored a lot of the show. “Including advertising campaigns, the advertisers were also targeting these two. The advertising campaigns of ‘Nine Heavens’ were much higher than ‘Broken Continent’.
So, the operations department wants to use nine heavens as a safe bet. Even if Broken Continent fails, there’s still “Nine Heavens”, which has good results. Even if the netizens mock it, they won’t be able to blame Kefeng Films.”
“We’ve seen the final film of ‘Broken Continent’. What do you think?” Wei Zhiqian asked coldly.
“It is indeed a high-quality film. It is very likely that it will be well-received.” What Yan Zhengxing did not say was that well-received dramas might not necessarily be explosive dramas.
Many dramas had good reputations and were highly discussed, giving people the impression that they were explosive dramas.
However, in reality, when one checked the viewership and broadcast numbers, they were far from the standard of explosive dramas.
“Let’s not talk about other things. It has not been broadcast yet. Why are you so sure that ‘Broken Continent’ will not be as good as ‘Nine Heavens’?” Wei Zhiqian said coldly, “In the past, heavyweight dramas were broadcast in different seasons. There weren’t even any that were broadcast in the same season. This time, they’re all piled together. Even though I gave Kefeng Films the right to operate independently, I didn’t allow him to act so recklessly!”
“President, before you called, I had a discussion with Tan Mo. In the beginning, it was indeed because I had been following up on the project of ‘Broken Continent’. I didn’t follow up on the other projects and only handed them over to my colleagues from various departments to handle. After this matter came out, I told Tan mo that I could put “Nine Heavens” at the back, but Tan Mo had other plans. He said that the two dramas could be broadcast at the same time and didn’t want me to put “Nine Heavens” at the back. He also said that he would come to Kefeng Films tomorrow morning and have a meeting with the relevant departments.”
When Wei Zhiqian heard this, he knew that the little girl had other plans.
Since Tan Mo didn’t want to put it off, he didn’t say anything else.
However, Wei Zhiqian asked again, “Who is in charge of ‘Nine Heavens’?”
Yan Zhengxing was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s manager Wu from the production department.”
Wei Zhiqian sneered and said, “As expected.”
Yan Zhengxing was rendered speechless.
He felt that even if manager Wu won the bet between manager Wu and Tan Mo, he couldn’t stay in the limelight any longer.
It would be a wonder if Wei Zhiqian would spare him.
“Since it’s Tan Mo’s idea, let’s listen to Tan Mo,” said Wei Zhiqian. “If there’s anything, contact Tan Mo directly. Do as she says.”
Wei Zhiqian added, “Her words are just like mine.”
