Chapter 1626: Chapter 1627: She doesn’t intend to cooperate with anyone
“Today?”
“Yeah, tonight, at Lai Feng Tower, they’ve booked a private room.” Estelle didn’t look up and continued, “‘Little Luck’ is a hit, and Lemon benefits the most this time. I’ve heard that AQ gained over ten million new members this month chasing the drama, a 300% increase compared to before. The other streaming platforms of similar size are all envious, eager to create their own version of ‘Little Luck.’ The actress playing Jian Yao is a newcomer from their company, so they’ve gained both money and fame this time. They’re probably looking to collaborate again, hence the dinner meeting tonight.”
Rong Yan propped her chin and, while checking her phone for the time, said, “We won’t be collaborating with them for now.”
“Hmm?”
“Why? Didn’t we have a pleasant collaboration before?”
“Uneven distribution of profits. We’re getting too little, and our influence is limited! For the next IP, I think we should take the lead in investment and find a big platform to develop it with!”
Estelle looked up, having not even glanced in her direction, now looked over, “I need to remind you, Mr. Rong, we just got some money, and you’re thinking of pouring it all in again? Investing in film and drama is like gambling; winning once doesn’t mean we will win next time. If you gamble everything every time, we won’t even have a chance to recoup if we lose.”
Rong Yan raised her hand helplessly, her lazy tone making people want to hit her, “Can’t help it, I need to make money quickly. Only with a significant investment can we earn enough in one go!”
“Rong Yan!” Estelle got a bit angry, squinting seriously, her dark blue striped suit looking neat and crisp on her, exuding the aura of a strong professional woman, “Don’t forget, the company isn’t just you working hard; others are playing along with you. If you want to gamble, you need to consider others.”
Pff.
Rong Yan raised both hands, resignedly admitting her mistake, “I was just joking, yet you took it seriously.”
“That joke wasn’t funny!” She turned her head away.
Rong Yan was embarrassed, “Okay, I think Bright Starry Sky investing heavily is part of my plan. You know if too much capital is involved, we won’t have a say in many things. We only cooperated with Lemon on a low-budget web drama before, and Lemon managed to insert a lead actress. If more capital is involved in a collaboration, do you think we’ll still have a say in casting?”
…Seems like a problem.
Estelle looked at her intently, “What else? That reason alone doesn’t make me agree with your plan.”
The risk is too high! Bright Starry Sky barely made a name in the industry with the success of ‘Little Luck,’ earning its first pot of gold, and she plans to throw it all in. As the company’s second-in-command, she must be responsible for the people below.
Even if Rong Yan is the boss, she can’t let her mess around!
Rong Yan continued her analysis clearly, “Then there’s the screenwriting. The essence of a drama is in the plot content. You know about the chaos domestically, where many actors like to bring their own screenwriters to the set, using capital to pressure production to mess with the script’s character settings and plot. I’ve heard many scripts were good when they first came out, but the final product didn’t turn out well. Why is that? Isn’t it because there were too many changes in casting and during the process, ending up with a script that’s a complete mess?”
“The success of ‘Little Luck’ is not because we filmed it well, but because we adhered to the original storyline and casting. So we must secure the greatest say in decision-making.”
