Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 229: Funding Cow (Happy New Year, Everyone!)
The next day was another sunny day with birds chirping.

Li Qiutang got up first, washed up quickly, changed into clothes that had been hanging out to dry overnight, and went into the kitchen to make breakfast for the two of them.

There is still some food in Liu Yifei's refrigerator, so just make something.

"Hey, hey, get up, breakfast is almost ready." Li Qiutang went to the room to urge Liu Yifei to get up.

Liu Yifei buried her head in the quilt. She was actually awake, but was too embarrassed to face her boyfriend. A muffled voice came from under the quilt: "You just bully me."

"Okay, okay, I'll bully you, but you have to get up and eat. It's almost 10 o'clock."

"I usually sleep until the afternoon."

"It's so hot, it's not good to sleep so long, get up, or I'll turn off the air conditioner and you'll be so hot."

"You go out, I'll change my clothes."

"Okay, hurry up, my meal will be ready soon."

After Li Qiutang went out, Liu Yifei took out the mobile phone on the bedside table and saw that it was 8:17.

Boy, that's what my mom is like.

Recalling the beauty of last night, Liu Yifei still blushes.

How could I be tricked by him into doing such a thing?

Liu Yifei got up reluctantly, washed up, and went to the kitchen to see that Li Qiutang was still cooking.

Liu Yifei wanted to kiss him, but was rejected: "Have you brushed your teeth?"

"You've brushed it three times." Liu Yifei hit him, "Asshole, you're complaining about your own stuff."

"I'm not right, I'm not right, give me a kiss." Li Qiutang took the initiative to kiss his girlfriend on the lips, "You go out and wait, I'll be done soon."

"I haven't seen you so attentive before."

Li Qiutang said: "You made a great sacrifice yesterday."

"You still say that!" Liu Yifei was almost embarrassed to death.

Li Qiutang said shamelessly: "I will serve you next time."

"You!" Liu Yifei wanted to curse but couldn't.

Last night she still didn't let her boyfriend break through the last barrier, but she made a huge sacrifice.

The two sat opposite each other, eating together and talking about their schedule for the day.

Li Qiutang was about to return to the company. Several partners came from other places, and he was responsible for receiving them. Then there were countless meetings and social events.

Liu Yifei said that she has no work recently and plans to go shopping with her assistant today and go to the People's Art Theatre to watch a play in the evening.

"You're really relaxed."

Liu Yifei said: "No one is looking for me, and I don't have a job, but it's not easy."

"Then you go back to work in the company. I will transfer you to be my assistant." Li Qiutang has two types of assistants. There are assistant directors in the filming crew, who are responsible for handling some trivial matters for him. In the company, there are secretary to the chairman or assistant to the general manager, who are responsible for assisting him in handling company affairs and are company executives.

"If I don't go, I will only be doing clerical work and won't be able to be a general assistant." Liu Yifei knows her work ability.

The two of them talked while eating.

"Will you come again in the evening?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Not sure. I won't be home until very late at night." Li Qiutang said, "Just go to my place. You have my room card anyway." Li Qiutang had already given Liu Yifei one of his own room cards.

"we'll see."

The two of them said these words without any shyness. After breakfast, they cleaned up the dishes together, Liu Yifei washed the dishes, and Li Qiutang wiped the table.

If someone who didn’t know saw it, they would really think that they were a couple who had been married for many years.

The two kissed goodbye at the door and Li Qiutang went to work.

The person Li Qiutang is going to receive today is Zhu Renzhi, the head of the Chinese film department of Hong Kong Media Asia Films.

As agreed upon in advance, Zhu led a team to visit Autumn Pictures to see if there was any room for cooperation between the two parties.

Media Asia has been very active in expanding into the mainland, with quite a few films, but its performance seems to have lagged behind in the past two years.

Media Asia’s previous partner in the mainland has always been Huayi. “Assembly”, “If You Are the One” and this year’s “Aftershock” have all made them a lot of money, but Huayi is too domineering. They only want Media Asia’s money and basically do not allow Media Asia to participate in the creation.

This was a little hard for Media Asia to accept, so they wanted to find another partner. Of course they could continue to cooperate with Huayi as long as they could make money, but it would be best to find another company to produce together.

After searching for a long time, I finally found Autumn Pictures, which was established not long ago.

"This is our investment and production management department. They manage and supervise all the company's films." Li Qiutang personally took them on a tour of the company. "From project establishment to final promotion and release, they follow through from beginning to end. They are the most core department of the company and have the greatest responsibility."

"This is the publicity and distribution management department. We are also building our own distribution channels and will see results soon."

"I was on a business trip for more than a month a while ago. When I came back, I found that there were a lot of new faces in the company. They recruited more than 20 people in a month, and there were new people joining the company almost every day. I told them that as long as the company needs them, you should recruit them for me. If there is not enough space here, I will buy an office building for you." Li Qiutang was clearly talking about renting at the time, but it was nothing to brag at this time.

Zhu Renzhi looked at Autumn Pictures. It was not a large company, but its performance was quite good. Its movies and TV series were progressing at the same pace. With elites like Li Qiutang and Cao Ping, it was indeed a very good partner.

Autumn Entertainment is not as big as Huayi, and the cooperation between Media Asia and Autumn Entertainment should enable them to gain the right to speak and even the dominant position.

Li Qiutang had a similar idea. Media Asia was rich, and he wanted to use it as a cash cow. In the future, all funds for the company's film production would be funded by Media Asia. In the fall, he could borrow money from Media Asia to quickly expand his scale.

Li Qiutang and Zhu Renzhi listened to the work report of the Investment and Production Management Department together in the conference room.

The department manager reported in detail on the projects the company was currently carrying out and planning to carry out, as well as some of the company's recent achievements.

"We just got the online agency rights for the two TV series, 'Drawing Sword' and 'Wulin Waijia' last week, and yesterday LeTV sent someone to discuss the broadcasting rights."

"Our novel copyright library is just starting out, but the results are pretty good. We have..."

"Even if we can't shoot in the future, we can sell it then, or participate in the investment by licensing the copyright, which are both relatively stable profit growth points."

These are all the results of Zhan Weilai's work.

Li Qiutang spoke up at this time: "The copyright is still in the hands of your management department for the time being. Let's see when we can hold another internal meeting to discuss it. It's hard enough for you to manage the film. Separate the copyright work and set up a copyright management department to give them this work."

Zhu Renzhi interrupted at this time: "They work so hard, you should give them a raise."

"Yes, definitely."

Everyone in the conference room laughed.

Cooperation is not something that should be discussed at conferences like this.

After the disbanding meeting, Li Qiutang asked several department managers of the company to stay, and they held another small meeting with Zhu Renzhi to discuss cooperation.

Both parties are willing to cooperate, but they want different things, so it depends on how the discussion goes later.

Media Asia Pictures started its first production in the fall, with a strong team and strong mainland production capabilities, and the future is promising.

In the autumn, Media Asia is rich and powerful. Well, that's what I want.

But when Li Qiutang proposed a collaboration between Media Asia and Qiu Tian, with Media Asia to be responsible for 70% of the costs, Zhu Renzhi really wanted to beat him to death!

I'm here to discuss cooperation, not to give you money!
Zhu Renzhi flatly rejected this outrageous proportion, but his team did not leave and still accepted Qiu's invitation to a banquet that night.
