Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

Chapter 126 Director Zhang called him again!

"Who?"

In a private booth at the coffee shop, President Qin's eyelashes fluttered slightly, his expression showing a hint of doubt.

Ye Chong smiled and pushed the tablet over, displaying Liu Yifei's photos: "Liu Yifei, the fairy sister, President Qin should have heard of her."

"I've certainly heard of it, but I don't understand why President Ye would use his creativity and status to promote a popular female celebrity." President Qin put down his tablet and spoke frankly.

Ye Chong leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, a slight smile playing on his lips. "President Qin knows she's a popular female celebrity, isn't it good to have buzz? Isn't her national recognition strong enough?"

"She has no negative press, enjoys a good public image, and can carry off Volvo's high-end image."

After a moment of silence, President Qin picked up his coffee, took a sip, and a hint of relaxation flashed in his eyes.

Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat. He sat up and pressed his advantage: "If President Qin is willing, I can also be a spokesperson for Volvo. Just give me the endorsement fee of a third-rate director."

"Really?" President Qin exclaimed subconsciously, but quickly regained his composure.

She smiled slightly and extended her small hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I hope Mr. Ye will keep his word."

"Of course, but the director's fee is separate!" Ye Chong shook her hand briefly and made a small joke.

After agreeing on the details, President Qin got up and left first. Ye Chong watched her retreating figure, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.

As evening fell, the little pink car drove along the congested city highway, the afterglow streaming through the windows, casting an orange-red hue on Ye Chong's face.

Ye Chong gripped the steering wheel with both hands, quickly calculating in his mind.

Volvo's endorsement is for a second-tier luxury brand, with its endorsement value falling in the mid-to-high-end luxury range, but it is not considered a top-tier brand endorsement.

This is enough for Yifei at this stage; it can enhance her business image without being too flashy and attracting the ire of top-tier actresses.

Let's take a look at Yifei's endorsements to date: Yili Yogurt, Pantene Shampoo, Tissot, Garnier, and an eye drop?

The period from 06 to 08 was the rising period of Yifei's career, and her appearance brought about some butterfly effects.

Surely it can't be worse than my previous life? Ye Chong thought to himself.

More importantly, if Liu's mother is happy, he can also please her.

Is licking your mother-in-law really licking her? Surely no one beats or scolds their mother-in-law every day, right?

Hehehe————

As for the company, preparations for the co-production need to be accelerated.

The next morning, when Shen Ze called, Ye Chong was still dreaming of meeting Yi Fei.

"Mr. Ye, Director Zhang's assistant called and asked you to go to the broadcasting station. He said there's something he needs you to do."

Ye Chong rubbed his eyes and rolled them in annoyance: "Ha~~ Okay, I'm coming right away."

After washing up, he changed into a well-fitting suit and drove to the broadcasting station.

Half an hour later.

The car stopped at the entrance of the broadcasting station, where Director Zhang's assistant was already waiting and led him toward the office building.

When he entered the office, Director Zhang was sitting behind his desk reading documents. He looked up and gestured for him to sit down.

"Have a seat, this tea is freshly brewed, have some."

Ye Chong pulled up a chair, sat down, took a sip of tea, and chuckled, "Director Zhang, your tea is much better than the oolong tea I have."

-

Director Zhang put down his pen, looked at him, and chuckled softly.

"This isn't oolong tea."

"Uh—" Ye Chong waved his hand dismissively. "Director Zhang has sharp eyes; he saw right through the kid's act. I'm impressed."

"Come on! Haven't seen you for a few days, and you're starting to act up again, huh?"

Ye Chong pursed his lips and didn't reply.

"Do you know why I called you here today?"

Ye Chong's eyebrows twitched.

I just finished talking to this person a few days ago. I haven't even finished my new manuscript yet, so it can't be a script issue.

what is that?

I didn't do anything wrong, did I?

"Ahem, Director Zhang, I don't know."

Director Zhang leaned back slightly in his chair, his eyes fixed on Ye Chong: "Have you finalized the investors for your new co-production?"

Ye Chong nodded: "It's almost done, but we're still finalizing the details."

"We didn't invite China Film Group, did we?" Director Zhang's calm voice rang out.

Ye Chong's smile froze for a moment. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and fell silent.

Was Director Zhang referring to me?

Did China Film Group send someone to report us?

This time, when seeking investment, China Film Group was not involved; the foreign investment was all facilitated by Ren, the former director of Shanghai Film Group.

Back then, when he went to China Film Group to ask for a favor, they didn't even look at him properly. He still remembers that disdain.

Acting impulsively is wrong, but the anger in one's heart is not so easy to swallow.

Director Zhang understood what was going on based on his expression.

He shook his head and sighed softly, "I know you're angry."

"Back then, Han Sanping misjudged you and underestimated you. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation, but you have to think long-term."

Ye Chong looked up at Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, I understand what you mean, but—"

"You can't swallow that insult, can you?" Director Zhang interrupted him, his tone tinged with helplessness. "Xiao Ye, you're not the same junior director you used to be. If you want to improve, you can make your own art films, and no one will say anything. But you have to think about your company, right? If Fei Ye wants to grow bigger and make co-productions, it can't avoid China Film Group."

"China Film Group's resources are very important to your dream of becoming a director and to the development of Fei Ye."

Ye Chong remained silent, quickly weighing Zhang Ju's words in his mind.

To be honest, Director Zhang might have been trying to persuade me to add China Film Group, but there's no denying that he was right!

China Film Group holds the rights to import foreign films. Whether it's the distribution of co-productions or Feiye's future plans to import foreign films, it's impossible to bypass China Film Group.

As for Han Sanping, past grievances can be resolved if the other party is sincere.

"Director Zhang is right."

Ye Chong finally relented.

The world of business isn't just about fighting and killing. How can one person's gains and losses be compared to the company's long-term development?

When the project was initially launched and investment was being sought, Sister hope had advised herself against it.

in the office.

Seeing that he had relented, Director Zhang nodded and pressed the call button on the table: "Let Chairman Han in."

Ye Chong was taken aback, not expecting Han Sanping to be here, and turned to look at the door.

A minute later, the door was pushed open, and Han Sanping walked in with a smile.

He burst into laughter as soon as he entered, and put on a sincere smile: "President Ye, President Ye, it's been a long time!"

Ye Chong quickly stood up, reached out and shook hands with Han Sanping.

"I was blind to your greatness back then and neglected you, Mr. Ye. I apologize to you here."

"Nonsense!" Ye Chong waved his hand. "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. You're too kind, Chairman Han. Let bygones be bygones."

"Hahaha—President Ye is really something!" Han Sanping gave a thumbs up.

They were smiling on the surface, but they weren't really smiling inside.

Ye Chong knew that for a big shot like Han Sanping to take the initiative to apologize was already giving him a lot of face.

Director Zhang could be considered a matchmaker, so if he still didn't accept—

Sure enough, Director Zhang, watching the two from a distance, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "That's right, that's more like it. We're all filmmakers, all working for the development of the industry, there's no need to hold grudges."

Now that the grievances have been resolved, let's move on to today's main topic.

The only thing that could make the vice chairman of China Film Group lower himself to apologize is nothing more than self-interest.

The rest is just a matter of how to negotiate.
