217: Chapter 217 A Spontaneous Cooperation Plan

The entire launch ceremony concluded successfully in such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The guests began to mingle freely.

This was actually a resource gathering event; Yang Mi had set up a stage where everyone could communicate freely.

A large number of discussions about the drama quickly appeared online, attracting a significant audience for the TV series in advance.

The higher the audience's expectations, the more popular the drama would become.

As for the quality, Yang Mi was not worried at all, because she would be involved throughout the entire process, maintaining full control.

Chen Shaoping, having just stepped off the stage, had barely sat down when Zhang Ying leaned over and softly said, "Darling, you're amazing! I'll reward you tonight."

Just then, an abrupt voice came from behind them, with a hint of teasing, "Excuse me, did I disturb you two?"

Zhang Ying quickly recoiled, her ears turning red, and soon her beautiful face was also flushed.

She shyly lowered her head, not even looking at who had arrived.

Chen Shaoping looked up, and after seeing the person, he half-jokingly said, "Director Xu, if I said you disturbed us, would you go back?"

Xu Jing was startled, then laughed, "Since I've already disturbed you, I can only disturb you a little longer."

"Young Master Ping, shall we find a quieter place to chat?"

"Sure!" Chen Shaoping readily agreed.

The two came to a corner of the hall, which was relatively quieter.

"Director Xu, what can I do for you?"

Xu Jing immediately said, "When I first met you, I only knew that Young Master Ping was a songwriter."

"It wasn't until I watched the movie 'crazy stone' during the National Day holiday and heard Director Lin's praise for you today that I realized how amazing your scripts are."

"Young Master Ping, do you happen to have a suitable script for me? How about we collaborate?"

Chen Shaoping immediately became interested; this piqued his interest even more than Xu Jing inviting him to write a song.

He had seen 'the wandering swordsman' and thought it was genuinely good.

"Director Xu, are you free now?"

"Yes, with the release of 'the wandering swordsman', my work is basically over. All that's left is standing on platforms and promoting it."

"I originally wanted to rest for a while, but my team still needs to eat, and it's not easy to build and maintain a complete team."

Xu Jing replied, feeling a little excited inside. From Chen Shaoping's words, he might actually have a script.

"I have scripts. Director Xu, how do you want to cooperate? Do you plan to buy a script from me and shoot it yourself, or are you looking for a deeper level of cooperation?"

Xu Jing was delighted to hear this and said without hesitation, "Direct, all-encompassing cooperation."

"Oh, then there's a lot to discuss."

"It's still a bit noisy here. How about we find the owner, General Manager Yang, and borrow an office to discuss in detail?"

"Couldn't be better!"

So, Chen Shaoping and his two companions, along with Xu Jing and his two companions, a group of five, found Yang Mi and explained their intentions.

Yang Mi personally led them to her office and had her assistant prepare good tea and coffee.

All kinds of fruits were readily available.

If she hadn't been worried that drinking alcohol might not be appropriate, she would have prepared two bottles of fine red wine.

She entertained Chen Shaoping and Xu Jing with extreme thoughtfulness and hospitality.

Although she didn't know exactly what the two wanted to discuss, it was certainly something good, and since she encountered it, she naturally wanted to get involved.

All three understood each other without words.

In fact, when Chen Shaoping suggested asking Yang Mi for an office, he already had the intention of inviting her to join.

Whether she was willing or not naturally depended on her own decision.

"Young Master Ping, Director Xu, what big matter are you discussing?"

"Can you include this humble woman? I'd like to ask for some work from you two big shots."

Yang Mi adopted a very humble posture, enthusiastically pouring tea and coffee for everyone.

Her assistant, Hong Ying, wanted to help, but Yang Mi didn't let her.

Xu Jing picked up his tea and took a sip, "General Manager Yang, everyone outside says you're a strong woman. Today, I've truly witnessed it."

"However, how to set up this platform and how to establish the pillars must be led by Young Master Ping."

Chen Shaoping thought carefully; fewer people had their way of doing things, and more people had their way of playing.

"Since General Manager Yang is interested in cooperating, I'll share my initial thoughts. They're not perfect, so let's discuss them more."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, with no intention of speaking, and the office suddenly became quiet.

"My Tongxing Entertainment Company will provide the scripts, Director Xu's team will be responsible for filming, and General Manager Yang will provide the funding, forming a film alliance."

"We can even add one or two more partners, especially investors from the cinema side."

Chen Shaoping stated a general direction. The others did not rush to answer, seriously considering the feasibility of this proposal.

Li Qian spoke first, perhaps feeling that it would be better for her to ask this question.

"General Manager Chen, if this alliance truly comes into being, can your scripts keep up with the demand?"

"Can this team accept scripts from others?"

Chen Shaoping immediately added, "This alliance can only film scripts written by me, but I can guarantee a large quantity of scripts, ensuring both quality and quantity."

"As for other matters, if Director Xu suddenly receives another script that he really likes and wants to film."

"No problem, provided it doesn't affect the filming of the alliance's movies."

"If I provide many scripts, and the investor, General Manager Yang, is also prepared to invest fully."

"Then Director Xu must be ready to start filming immediately. If you really can't handle it or can't find another directorial team, then the investor will rearrange the director."

"In principle, you, Director Xu, are fully responsible for the alliance's filming team."

Chen Shaoping took a sip of tea and continued, "Regarding the investor, if both my script side and the filming side believe a script can be filmed, then the investor must invest."

"In other words, within the alliance, the investor cannot only choose to invest in scripts they personally favor."

"For my screenwriter side, if a script I provide is rejected by other parties as unfilmable, I need to replace the script."

Finally, Chen Shaoping cleared his throat and concluded, "This is just a framework; specific details still need further discussion."

"Also, I reiterate, I have many scripts, of various styles. Please do not worry about the script issue."

A moment later.

Yang Mi lightly slapped the table, her expression excited, and shouted, "I'm in!"

Xu Jing followed suit, also smiling, "I'm in too!"

He continued, "As for General Manager Chen, regarding the cinema party you mentioned, I have an excellent collaborator whom I believe will gladly agree."

"How about Tudi Film City Group?"

Chen Shaoping guessed he was referring to Tudi Cinema City. In fact, Chen Shaoping had a better choice for cooperating with Tudi Cinema City.

That was Yang Mengmeng.

However, the little girl hadn't planned to reveal her identity in front of everyone, so he couldn't point her out.

He fully approved of the proposal to cooperate with Tudi Cinema City.

The large number of screenings by Tudi Cinema City played a significant role in 'crazy stone' achieving such high box office numbers.

Of course, this was definitely Yang Mengmeng's credit.
