Chapter 301 Gambling Agreement
Although the first disagreement between Kong Sheng and Suning was resolved with Suning's concession, Kong Sheng realized that Suning really gave him face, so he immediately contacted Yin Tao by phone.

When Yin Tao heard Kong Sheng's explanation on the phone, she also felt very enthusiastic. After all, Su Media Company is very popular, and many domestic celebrities are willing to join the more humane Su Media.

Kong Sheng breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Yin Tao's affirmative answer. He didn't want to make things too awkward with his boss and partner because of this matter. Yin Tao's nod was considered an explanation to Suning.

"Boss Su, Yin Tao agreed."

"Yeah! That's good!

Yin Tao’s acting skills are really good and she is also beautiful.

Joining Su Media will definitely benefit our company."

"Well! Mr. Su, today's incident was caused by my harsh tone.

I’m here to apologize to you!”

"Haha, Lao Kong, I just like your stubbornness in doing things.

Because only in this way can you produce better works, instead of becoming a puppet of capital like other directors."

"Mr. Su, thank you for your understanding." Kong Sheng looked at Su Ning gratefully.

“Lao Kong, you should also know.

On the premise of maintaining the quality of the works as much as possible, we still give priority to using artists from our own company.

After all, only in this way can our company's artists have a future."

"Yes! Mr. Su, I understand!"

Suning felt somewhat disappointed that he failed to secure a role for his girlfriend, but his company would soon have another actress with outstanding acting skills, which would be beneficial to the company's development.

When he returned home at night, Suning could only serve Song Hye Kyo desperately, which made Song Hye Kyo fall asleep contentedly. Suning knew what Song Hye Kyo was thinking. The reason she gave up everything in Korea was because she wanted to have a blossoming relationship with him.

It’s a pity that Suning may disappoint her and these women. Suning has no plans to get married and feels that his current life is the most enjoyable.

The next morning, when Suning was having breakfast, he suddenly received a call from Kong Sheng, who brought him a very unexpected news.

"Mr. Su, Yin Tao just called me and she refused to join our Su Media."

"What? Lao Kong, didn't you say last night that she agreed?"

"Yeah! She agreed last night.

But her boyfriend disagrees, so."

"Yin Tao's boyfriend? Is he the one with the surname Shen?" After hearing Kong Sheng's explanation with a wry smile, Su Ning had a guess in his mind.

"Yes! Mr. Su, do you also know this Shen Congwen?"

"I don't know him! I've only heard of him.

Since Yin Tao rejected us, the role of Zhou Ayu will go to Song Hye Kyo."

"Yeah! I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Song Hye Kyo looked over curiously, "Su Ning, what's wrong?"

“The company has a great new play, and the actress who was initially considered declined the offer to join Su Media.

Song Hye Kyo, I want to arrange for you to play the leading female role."

"Great! My advertising has all come to an end, and I'm worried about finding something to do."

"Haha, how come you can't find anything to do.

As long as you are willing, you can choose any of the company's plays in the future."

"Suning, is this TV series really good?"

"Well! I'll bring you the script tonight.

However, I would like to revise the plot of this TV series first."

In fact, the reason why Suning wanted Song Hye Kyo to film "A Family in Wenzhou" was because he thought of the "Descendants of the Sun" filmed in the original time and space by Song Hye Kyo. Suning's magical modification disease came back again, and he always wanted to improve the plot of "Descendants of the Sun" into "A Family in Wenzhou".

When going to work today, Suning brought Song Hye Kyo with him because he wanted to discuss specific matters with Kong Sheng, and it would be more appropriate to bring the heroine along.

As soon as Kong Sheng saw Su Ning and Song Hye Kyo, he immediately stood up a little embarrassedly, "Boss Su, I made a mistake in judgment."

“Hehe, this is not a big deal.

It has not caused any harm to our Su Media.

Lao Kong, don’t take it too seriously.”

"Mr. Su, thank you!"

"Old Kong, now that Song Hye Kyo has been confirmed to play the female lead, Zhou Ayu, I'd like to make some slight changes to the plot."

"Boss Su, how do you want to change it?"

"Lao Kong, I read the script of 'A Family in Wenzhou'.

There's no need to change the main storyline, but I think Huang Zhixiong's identity could be changed."

"Oh? Mr. Su, please continue!" Kong Sheng knew that Su Ning's ideas were always great, and he soon became interested. Even Song Hye Kyo, who was reading a script next to him, looked over curiously.

“Lao Kong, according to the original script, Huang Zhixiong’s identity is a mercenary who wants to obtain French citizenship. I feel it is inappropriate!
I think Huang Zhixiong should be assigned as a soldier in the peacekeeping force, which would appear more just.

The plot could certainly be more interesting.”

"Mr. Su, part of the plot of 'A Family in Wenzhou' is to show the difficulties faced by Chinese people.

If this is changed, the audience might feel completely different.”

"Lao Kong, the Chinese working overseas are not just a small number of people who are concerned about nationality issues. There are also many public servants and peacekeeping forces."

“That’s fine!

Just follow Mr. Su's wishes." Seeing that Su Ning was so insistent and that changing the script wasn't a big deal, Kong Sheng agreed.

"The plot of Lao Kong, Huang Zhixiong, and Zhou Ayu's interactions could include more stories about the peacekeeping forces protecting overseas Chinese and maintaining local security."

"Yeah! Okay!"

For the next period of time, Suning was busy helping Kong Sheng revise the script. Not only did he copy some plots from "Descendants of the Sun", he also visited many real peacekeeping soldiers and got first-hand storylines from them. The classic parts of the story also surprised Kong Sheng, and he no longer had any complaints about Su Ning's script revision.

After nearly a month of hard work in the editing department, the plot of "A Family in Wenzhou" was finally polished. At the same time, the schedule of veteran actor Li Liqun was also contacted, so the TV series can be filmed at any time.

After a month of living together day and night, Kong Sheng finally realized Suning's "quick wit" and various "brilliant ideas", and he began to admire him spontaneously in his heart.

The outside world was also shocked by the big move of Su Media Company. After all, the joint action of Suning and Kong Sheng still made the audience very much looking forward to it. You know, the talents of Suning and Kong Sheng are recognized.

"Boss Su, I have some bad news that I have to tell you."

"what?"

"Boss Su, do you still remember that actress Yin Tao?"

"Huh? Remember! Wasn't she unwilling to join our Su Media?"

"Yes! But recently the outside media has been hyping up our film 'A Family in Wenzhou' too much. It's been recognized by the industry as the biggest production of 05.

Therefore, Yin Tao and her boyfriend were moved again."

"Haha, it's too late to be moved!
If she wants to change her mind and agree to join our Su Media, there will be other better opportunities in the future. " Suning was not saying this casually. After all, Suning already had the idea of "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" in his mind, and of course Yin Tao would be the first person to consider for the female lead.

"Boss Su, Yin Tao's boyfriend Shen Congwen has said that they are going to film 'A Family in Wenzhou'. Joining Su Media Company is absolutely impossible."

"Oh my god! Is this guy so barbaric?" Suning couldn't help but think of Yin Tao's relationship, which caused a sensation in the original time and space.

"I'm sorry! President Su!
I've caused trouble for our company."

"Huh? People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat!

There are some things you just can’t avoid!”

"Boss Su, how do you respond to Yin Tao?"

"Tsk! What's your response?
They want to dream themselves, so do we need to cooperate with them?
Just ignore them!"

Suning had anticipated this kind of person a long time ago. They were just like Chen Xiaolan, who was a dog-skin plaster. But he was not afraid of them at all. At worst, he could just immigrate overseas. He believed that with his current fame, immigration authorities in many countries would welcome him.

After receiving Suning's reply, Kong Sheng no longer paid attention to the matter and focused all his energy on filming "A Family in Wenzhou".

When Yin Tao's boyfriend saw that Su Media ignored him, he felt completely humiliated and said he would teach Suning a lesson so that Suning would remember it.

Suning heard this stupid threat again and sneered in his heart, then got busy with his work again. It was already the end of June, and this year's summer season should be the highlight of "Crazy Stone".

Suning attaches great importance to the release of "Crazy Stone". Not only did it give its utmost support in publicity, it also personally attended the premiere of "Crazy Stone".

"Mr. Su, you're here!" Ning Hao, who had just finished filming "Crazy Racing", immediately ran over with Huang Bo when he saw Su Ning.

"Ning Hao, you've been working hard lately!

I heard that "Crazy Racing" has also been completed? "

"Yes! Mr. Su!
Crazy Racing has now entered the post-editing stage."

"Yeah! Very good!
Ning Hao, you did a great job!"

"Haha, this is all thanks to your support, President Su."

"Haha, Ning Hao, stop flattering me!

Today is the highlight of your and the "Crazy" crew, so enjoy today!" Su Ning patted Ning Hao's shoulder with satisfaction.

Ning Hao didn't understand what Su Ning meant at this time. After all, he felt a little guilty about his first work. But after the premiere, he understood what Su Ning meant.

Just as Suning entered the premiere with Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others, Andy Lau appeared on the scene in a suit, causing Suning and Ning Hao to look at each other in surprise.

"Oh! Mr. Liu is here!

It’s truly an honor!”

Looking at the oncoming Suning, Andy Lau felt quite complicated. Not only was he jealous of Suning's age, he also admired the achievements Suning had made at this time, which was the glory that many people dreamed of all their lives.

"Boss Su, I've heard a lot about you!

I came here uninvited today, I hope Mr. Su won't blame me!"

"Haha, I heard it!

Mr. Liu is blaming us at Su Media for not sending you an invitation!"

“Haha, President Su should indeed give me an invitation.

After all, I have a connection with this movie "Crazy Stone."

"Yes! Mr. Liu is right!
It was our fault for not being considerate enough. We would like to apologize to Mr. Liu here.

I hope that our two companies can sincerely cooperate with each other in the future."

"Haha, of course!" Andy Lau was also very surprised by the hidden meaning in Suning's words. He came here with his agent just to get closer to the booming Su Media.

Although the two parties were unable to collaborate on "Crazy Stone" due to various reasons, it still does not hinder their future cooperation. After all, the past belongs to the god of death, and the future belongs to oneself.

After its release, "Crazy Stone", with the strong promotion of Su Media and its own high quality, completely dominated the entire 05 summer season, making the creators behind the movies released at the same time very angry.

But they only complained secretly. After all, the quality of their films was no match for "Crazy Stone". As a result, in the summer of 05, "Crazy Stone" won a total box office of 8.2 million yuan in China, which caused a sensation in the domestic media.

The success of "Crazy Stone" not only made Su Media's slogan "Suning's products must be high-quality" deeply rooted in people's hearts, but also made Ning Hao famous overnight and directly became a quasi-first-line director in China.

Suning has been filming "A Family in Wenzhou" recently. Under Kong Sheng's arrangement, a lot of scenes were added for Suning, making the character of Huang Zhixiong more three-dimensional and full. Although Huang Zhixiong was still arranged to sacrifice in the end, it was very heroic.

In August 05, "Soldier Assault" was scheduled to be broadcast in the prime time of CCTV-, instead of becoming the unwanted "poor kid" in the original time and space. Its first broadcast on Shaanxi Satellite TV also received mediocre response.

In fact, when CCTV-1 saw the script of "Soldier Assault", it began to feel uneasy. After all, this is a male drama without a female lead, which invisibly blocked most of the audience.

If it weren't for the strong brand of Su Media and Suning's personal performance, CCTV would never have taken the risk. In addition, there was another TV series at the same time that was more favored by CCTV leaders, so CCTV leaders wanted to turn down "Soldier Assault".

"Boss Su, this is the situation.

I hope you can understand, Mr. Su!" Kang Tai looked at Su Ning with an embarrassed expression.

"Kangtai, I don't understand!"

"what?"

"Kangtai, we've known each other for quite a while now!"

"Well! But friendship is friendship.

We at CCTV still don’t dare to take risks lightly.”

"Kangtai, how about we make a bet?"

"Ah? A betting agreement?"

"Yes! Let's set the viewership rating at 40% as the limit.

If the ratings don't reach 40%, our production company won't take a cent. As for the losses of Bayi Film Studio and Huayi, Su Media will be responsible for them."

"This" Kangtai was also shocked by Suning's big investment. A 40% viewership rating is definitely a great drama.

"Of course, if our 'Soldier Assault' breaks through 40 percent, CCTV will pay us 200 million."

"Boss Su, are you so confident about this film 'Soldier Assault'?"

"Haha, Kangtai, if you talk too much, it might sound like you're boasting about your own achievements.

So, if you're unsure, just think back to the original Myth."

Kangtai did not agree on the spot, but went back to hold several meetings. After a unanimous vote by CCTV leadership, it finally agreed to sign a gambling agreement with Suning.
