Chapter 964: A Change in Mindset

“As long as it doesn’t endanger the huge interests of our company, we won’t interfere with him. Even if it costs us some profits, as long as he brings it up, we will give in. After all, the benefits he brings us are really huge. There’s mutual cooperation and respect. Director Tan deserves such treatment here.”

“So, Director Luo, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I don’t have the authority. Go and speak with Director Tan first. As long as he agrees, there will definitely be no problems on my side.” Xu Dashi said, seemingly cheerily.

Luo Xuzhang was dumbstruck.

He felt that Xu Dashi was dodging the issue.

The dignified president of Kefeng Films couldn’t even make a decision on such a small matter, yet here he was, passing the buck?

Luo Xuzhang was helpless, so he could only tell the truth. “Mr. Xu, let me tell you the truth. I went to Director Tan, but he didn’t agree. That’s why I came to you.”

“To be honest, no matter how much profits Director Tan brings to your company, it’s only a portion of what your company receives. How much can it be? If it wasn’t for your company’s investment in the beginning, he wouldn’t have been able to film “Broken Continent”. How could he reach his current state?” Luo Xizhang said indifferently.

“As long as you ask, how could he not defer to you?” Luo Xuzhang said.

Xu Dashi rolled his eyes, thinking that Luo Xuzhang was too capable of thinking of good things.

“But, why should I need to do this to make things difficult for Director Tan over such a trivial matter?” Xu Dashi returned, “After all, such matters rely on favors. There’s a limit to how many favors one can ask for. I can use it on more important areas. There’s no need to use it on this kind of thing.”

Luo Xuzhang’s face darkened and he asked in a low voice, “What conditions do you have? I’ll try my best to meet them.”

“I don’t have any conditions.” Xu Dashi smiled and said, “If you want to ban Guo Saisai, it’s your company’s matter. Our company won’t participate in this, and I won’t make things difficult for Director Tan because of this.”

Luo Xuzhang understood.

Xu Dashi meant that you can do what you want and we’ll do as we wish; your problem has nothing to do with us.

Luo Xuzhang sneered inside. He wondered who had given Tan Jinqi the courage to be so tough and impolite to him.

So it was Xu Dashi who gave it to him.

“Mr. Xu, we’ve always valued peace. You help me today, and I’ll help you tomorrow. There will come a time when we need the other party’s assistance,” Luo Xuzhang said coldly.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help. It’s just that I’m in a difficult position,” Xu Dashi said awkwardly. “Director Tan is now Kefeng Films’ cash cow. Moreover, the copyright of “Broken Continent” is also signed part by part. Kefeng Films doesn’t have the entire series in our hands. Thanks to Director Tan, Kefeng Films is now able to establish such a good reputation, becoming the country’s benchmark.”

“If we make Director Tan unhappy, he may approach other platforms to work with for the next few films. We won’t be able to make up for the loss,” Xu Dashi explained.

Luo Xuzhang’s eyebrows twitched. “You guys didn’t sign for the subsequent ones?”

Xu Dashi seemed to have realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He quickly covered it up with a laugh, “We have a good collaboration with each other, and we don’t want to restrict Director Tan too much. But we’ve already agreed that this series will definitely be ours. Moreover, in the beginning, we were the only ones who invested in Director Tan. Just based on this kind of friendship, as long as we both maintain mutual respect and communicate well, Director Tan is a person who values friendship; he won’t leave us to work with other companies.”

As if sensing that he had said too much, Xu Dashi quickly said, “Director Luo, I still have a meeting to attend. Let’s talk later.”

After saying that, Xu Dashi hung up the phone.

He sneered at the phone.

Luo Xuzhang had better believe that Kefeng Films and Tan Jinqi did not have any binding force.

That way, Luo Xuzhang would not dare to go against Tan Jinqi.

As long as he still wanted to transfer the IP of “Broken Continent” to Guo Pai.

Xu Dashi smirked.

Guo Pai’s style was really the same from top to bottom.

They all treated people as fools.

However, when they invested in the first season of “Broken Continent”, they didn’t know what the results of the first season would be like, so they hadn’t decided on whether to further invest on the next seasons.

They had also agreed with Tan Jinqi that if the results of the first season were good, they would renew the second season.

When Xu Dashi said that the results were good, he didn’t mean that the results had to be great.

As long as the results were maintained above a certain standard, and allowed Kefeng Films to earn some money.

The amount earned didn’t matter.

As long as no losses were made.

No one had expected that the first season would be so explosive.

Therefore, once the first season ended, Kefeng Films immediately began to prepare for the second season.

They even specially created a team to be in charge of the development of “Broken Continent”.

From film and television to other copyright derivatives, as well as for export to other countries.

Every department had a special team to coordinate for “Broken Continent”.

And the team responsible for film and television development served Tan Jinqi throughout the entire process.

If Tan Jinqi had any requests, he just had to let the people in the team know.

The team would definitely cooperate with Tan Jinqi, and he didn’t need to worry about anything himself.

Tan Jinqi was only in charge of making requests.

Everything else, no matter how troublesome, would be handled by the team.

But that wasn’t all that Kefeng Films could do.

After the first season ended, Tan Jinqi and Kefeng Films immediately signed a contract for five seasons.

Moreover, the contract also stated that after five seasons, if Kefeng Films wanted to do so, filming would continue.

The director had to be Tan Jinqi, and the scriptwriter had to be Tan Mo.

Similarly for if Tan Jinqi wanted to continue filming.

He had to give priority to Kefeng Films.

If Tan Jinqi chose not to film with Kefeng Films in the end, Tan Jinqi could look for another partner.

Did Luo Xuzhang really think that they, Tan Jinqi and Kefeng Films, were only relying on favors?

How could Xu Dashi make such a low-level mistake.

Of course, it was because of Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian’s relationship.

Their Kefeng Films and Tan Jinqi could indeed rely on favors.

This was a treatment that other platforms could not enjoy.

As expected, it was just as Xu Dashi had calculated.

After Luo Xuzhang hung up the phone, he was thinking that, given a chance, he could still get Tan Jinqi on his side.

At this moment, his mentality changed. Luo Xuzhang recalled what Tan Jinqi had earlier said.

Tan Jinqi said he was the one who could initiate things or make the decisions.

Even if they wanted to collaborate, Guo Pai had to be the one to request for it.

It wasn’t that he needed to rely on conditions to get Guo Pai’s drama.

Previously, Luo Xuzhang thought that Tan Jinqi was arrogant because he had made some achievements and gotten proud.

But now, he felt that Tan Jinqi’s words actually made sense.

“Director Luo, Tan Jinqi posted on Weibo.” Director Liang rushed in, looking for Luo Xuzhang.

“What Weibo?” Luo Xuzhang was still thinking about the possibility of collaborating with Tan Jinqi.

Compared to the potential of collaborating with Tan Jinqi, he couldn’t care less about the results of “Moon Shines Over the River”.
