Chapter 252 Release Date
He Daqi's mention of Zhou Jielun actually made Yu Dong's eyes light up. He held his chin with his hand, rubbing his index finger unconsciously, and muttered to himself, "This is not impossible..."

The sound of high heels walking could be heard from outside the screening room, crisp and clear.

Just by listening to the sound of her walking, you can tell that she is a capable woman.

Wu Nannan pushed the door open and came in. She smiled and nodded to He Daqi, Zhou Huimin, and Liu Ying. Then she smiled at Yu Dong, who turned back to look at the door and said, "Mr. Yu, we are old acquaintances. If there is anything, we can just talk about it privately. There is no need to show it to others."

Yu Dong seemed to be quite familiar with Wu Nannan. Upon hearing this, he turned in his chair, laughed, and spread his hands. "That's hard to say. You guys, Huan Ya, suddenly held a film screening. What do you think I would think? My first reaction would be that you guys, Huan Ya, think Bo Na's business capabilities are not good enough and want to work with someone else. So I have to wait and see."

Wu Nannan chuckled, as if to show she saw right through him. She half teased, half explained, "It's different. Yonghui Qiming's film isn't included in our agreement. Don't let this create a rift. Besides, I called you to discuss the film screening for "The Gift of Room 7." We've always had a pleasant collaboration, and we can't just abandon you and suddenly look for other partners. It's pointless to keep bringing up the past."

"Haha, okay, are you here to chase me away? Do you have something to discuss with China Film Group? Then I won't be an eyesore here anymore."

Yu Dong stood up, greeted everyone cheerfully, then walked out of the screening room with a smile.

He Daqi and the others sent the people to the elevator, watched Yu Dong and his subordinates enter the elevator, and then turned around and walked back.

This time I didn’t go back to the screening room, but went directly to the small conference room.

The manager of China Film had just drunk a lot during dinner and his face was red. After returning to the third floor, he kept lying on the table in the small conference room. Everyone thought he was drunk, so Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong talked to He Daqi and others one after another.

At this moment, He Daqi and his group came in and saw that the man was standing leisurely in front of the window of the small conference room, drinking tea slowly with a cup of water. His face was still as red, but he didn't look drunk at all.

Wu Nannan had just seen him slumped over the table, so she had been chatting with his subordinates. Now, seeing him like this, she greeted him with a bit of surprise, "Boss Li, are you sober?"

Manager Li took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.

"Yeah, I'm sober now."

His tone was clear, and he didn't look drunk at all.

He Daqi and the others immediately realized that he was pretending to be drunk.

"Now that they've all left, right? Then we can have a good chat. This way, they won't have to complain and say we're competing with private enterprises for a living. It would be hard to explain ourselves then."

After Manager Li finished speaking, he turned around and sat down with a teacup in his hand, smiling and making a gesture of invitation, apparently ready to have a good chat.

He Daqi complained in his heart: Why did I only encounter something drinkable during today's meal?

After the group sat down, Wu Nannan smiled and took over the conversation: "Mr. Li, don't you want to discuss the issue of issuing shares? Otherwise, why would you say that we are competing with private enterprises for food?"

"Not really. For our company, no matter how much the distribution share is, it doesn't make a big difference. We are used to cooperating with the producers from the beginning.

To be honest, the reason I came here today was to respond to the call. Huanya is a leading company in Hong Kong film and television production. This is the first time that a film has been officially released in the mainland, so I came here today.

But after watching the movie, my thoughts changed. The quality of the movie is really good. Wouldn’t it be a waste if such a good movie didn’t have a good release date? "

Manager Li spoke very slowly, as if he was carefully considering each word, so slowly that people could turn his words around in their minds after they were finished. The result was that when he asked a question at the end and then began to drink his tea slowly, no one present had time to respond immediately.

"Arrange a good schedule?" Wu Nannan asked in a low voice, more like asking herself, with her brows slightly furrowed as if she was thinking about something in her mind.

"Mr. Li, what exactly do you mean?" Liu Ying asked directly.

"We have been committed to expanding the film market. Now we are mainly thinking about creating the Lunar New Year holiday. What do you think of the mid-January date next year?"

"It's not a big deal. I guess Zhou Xingxing's kung fu was at its peak at that time, and we didn't want to run into him." Wu Nannan shook her head and refused.

"What about February 1st?" Manager Li asked.

After he finished asking, the conference room fell silent, everyone pondering the date. He Daqi pulled out his phone and began checking the calendar. Before long, he whispered to the others, "That day is Little New Year's Day."

"Isn't that the Spring Festival period?" Liu Ying looked unhappy.

She had previously explained to He Daqi that the Spring Festival period in mainland China is not suitable for releasing movies. She didn't expect that what she said last year would happen this year.

At this moment, she began to think about other things. Yonghui Qiming had never dealt with China Film Group before, so why did she feel like she was being targeted?

Obviously, she was not the only one thinking about this in the conference room at this moment.

Seeing that the four people opposite him had somewhat stiff expressions, Manager Li came to his senses after a moment's thought. He smiled helplessly, then tapped the table lightly with his fingers to attract everyone's attention.

"If you agree to release the film during that time, we will find ways to give you some preferential treatment, including but not limited to theater scheduling. Of course, I will not acknowledge this statement once it is out of my mind, and there will be no such clause in the contract. I can only guarantee it with my character, and whether you believe it or not is up to you.
I originally wanted to talk about investment, but seeing that you are a little hesitant, I will not talk about it today. Let's give each other some time to think about it carefully. Of course, if you really don't want to release it at that time, it doesn't matter.
I'm just making a suggestion today. After all, you have to consider the return on investment. I understand whether you accept this proposal or not. There will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future. Don't pay attention to this little suggestion I made today while a little drunk. This is what I really think, so don't think I have hidden intentions."

After he finished speaking, he stood up with a smile, apparently preparing to leave.

He Daqi and others also stood up and sent him out.

It was obvious that Manager Li was indeed afraid of causing other misunderstandings. As they walked out, they did not talk about movies, but instead praised Yonghui Qiming's decoration style.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and when they were almost at the elevator door, Manager Li suddenly stopped.

"I almost forgot, Daqi, my daughter is a fan of yours. She bought a bunch of posters of you playing Xu Wenqiang, as well as your authentic Korean disc of If Love Has Providence. You have to give me an autograph. Otherwise, if she knows that I didn't get an autograph for her when we met today, she will definitely make a fuss with me when she gets home."

"Ah? How old is your daughter?"

"fifteen."

He Daqi suddenly didn't want to sign his name anymore. He had been troubled by the young age of his fans for a long time. Now he asked Liu Ying to take a photo of himself, signed his name on it and handed it over.

"Haha, thank you." Manager Li patted He Daqi on the shoulder, then turned to Wu Nannan and said, "Let's stop here. Think carefully about the movie schedule. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss." After that, he got into the elevator.

Watching the elevator door slowly close, He Daqi and the others looked at each other, feeling a little bewildered.

"Let's go to Vivian's office and study this carefully." Seeing that He Daqi and Zhou Huimin were silent, Liu Ying spoke first.

The four people returned to Zhou Huimin's office with different thoughts.

Zhou Huimin sat in the boss chair, holding her chin and asked, "Where should I start?"

Since they were all family, there was no need for formalities. Liu Ying handed each of them a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and took a sip. She said, "What did Guanglian talk to you about? I was leading the way at the time, so I didn't hear what you talked about."

Actually, Liu Ying asked this question for Wu Nannan to hear, because Wu Nannan would be responsible for all future company communications. After Wu Nannan came back from dinner, he stayed in the conference room to accompany the guests, so she planned to tell Wu Nannan again about the communications with various companies just now.

"They want to participate in Yonghui Qiming's next investment projects. They must have found out clearly that none of our projects have lost money, so they want to get involved." Zhou Huimin continued to support her chin, looking a little lazy. She didn't sleep well last night and felt a little sleepy after lunch, so she felt a little dazed now.

After Zhou Huimin finished speaking, Liu Ying continued, "Well, forget about Guangxian for now. We really don't have any projects on hand. As for Huayi, they're probably trying to test whether Huanya is planning to find new partners in mainland China. They're also considering investing in Yonghui Qiming. However, after hearing that we were planning to separate the film and television production department, they didn't bring up the topic anymore."

Wu Nannan nodded. "There's no need to talk about Yu Dong. I know his situation. Bona is having a hard time right now. He's afraid we'll bring someone else on the project without him, so he's been hanging around waiting for the Huayi people to leave. Let's talk mainly about China Film Group. You didn't have any conflicts with China Film Group before, did you?"

Liu Ying shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it's not a holiday. And it seems that Mr. Li didn't mean anything else in his last words. He really just made a suggestion. He mentioned earlier that their company is used to cooperating with producers from the beginning. He must have wanted to discuss other projects. However, because I mentioned the Spring Festival period with Daqi and Vivian before, their faces were a little serious, and Mr. Li noticed it, so he didn't continue the discussion. He plans to wait until we think it over before discussing it again."

Wu Nannan asked, somewhat confused, "Why are they so eager to expand the Lunar New Year box office? From what I hear, the movie schedule is quite tight from the end of this year to January next year. Aren't all these movies enough? They're actually thinking of squeezing us in as well."
