The vote was unanimously passed.
Fang Ruoxi didn't rush to tell Zou Rong and Yuan Ning the results. Instead, she immediately started arranging the company's work. Her core idea was to make money as quickly as possible.
"The revenue sharing for online dramas will begin to be settled this month."
“The company definitely won’t touch this money, Director Zhou. You can take it directly to start a new project, like that palace drama, and get it filmed.”
Director Zhou was completely dumbfounded.
She was afraid that her memory would be failing due to her age, and she might misremember the dividends sent by the video website.
"Xiao Fang, if I remember correctly, the dividends were only a little over one million (as of the current profit sharing period), right?"
Fang Ruoxi nodded.
Director Zhou's voice suddenly rose, "You think your female-centric palace drama can be made for a million dollars???"
Fang Ruoxi was startled by the loud, forceful voice.
"What I mean is to hurry up and assemble the crew to start filming, and then we can film while waiting for the web series' revenue sharing."
Director Zhou's eyes widened in shock.
"You're telling me to withhold the actors' wages???"
Fang Ruoxi coughed lightly, "Besides the female lead, the other actors should include some good actors who are not famous and are eager to become famous."
Director Zhou: "..."
Director Zhou: "…………"
Director Zhou's gaze towards Fang Ruoxi changed.
Fang Ruoxi: "Okay, I'll call Sister Yuan and ask her to find someone from the shipping company who is an expert in this area to help you, Director Zhou, plan out the cash flow problem."
Director Zhou: This is the first time I've been so angry that I can't find the words to curse.
Wang Liping was enjoying the show when Fang Ruoxi suddenly swung her forty-meter-long sword at him.
“Brother Wang, I have a lot of songs. Besides those for Sister Hong and Brother Li, there are also many suitable for idol groups.”
Wang Liping felt a chill run down his spine, a bad premonition.
"Okay, you, Brother Li, and Sister Hong can work overtime to listen to this, and then find a suitable combination to discuss the issue of career replanning."
Wang Liping repeated blankly, "...Career replanning?"
Fang Ruoxi: "We just asked them if they would like to come to our company to sing this song."
Wang Liping: "…………" This was the first time he had ever seen someone describe poaching someone's job in such an artistic way!
No wonder he's a songwriter!
His twitching lips were harder to suppress than an AK47. "Teacher Fang, would you like to look into the breach of contract penalty issues for popular idol groups?"
Wang Liping: "I thought our company's biggest need right now was money, wasn't it?"
Fang Ruoxi nodded calmly.
"Yes, I have no money."
"Liquidated damages?"
Fang Ruoxi: "Let the idol group pay for it themselves."
Wang Liping: "???"
Just as Wang Liping began to wonder if Teacher Fang had been driven mad by money, or if he had offended Teacher Fang at some point, which was why Teacher Fang wanted him to go out and get beaten up—
Fang Ruoxi casually picked up a sheet of A4 paper and started humming a song while quickly writing sheet music on it.
Those few soft hums were enough to change Chen Hong's expression.
After finishing a song, Fang Ruoxi pushed an A4 sheet of paper in front of Wang Liping and said, "Take this and talk to them. Tell them that if they come to me with a song of this quality, I will release an album for them within a year."
Wang Liping: "!!!"
“Take this song, ‘Superstar,’ and talk to female idol groups about collaborations.”
"I'll give you another song, 'In the End,' later. Give it to the boy band that wants to compete for awards overseas."
"Let's find a male-female duo too. I'll pick a catchy song and try to tap into the 'lower-tier market.' Hmm, that's all for now. I'll let you know if there's anything new."
Wang Liping: "?! You're still talking? Thank you, Mr. Fang! You're giving me too much credit! You expect me to swing the hoe until it's smoking!"
Fang Ruoxi smiled and said, "Wang Da is a top agent, the head of our company's agent department. I trust your abilities."
If someone else said that, Wang Liping could shut him up, but who said those two sentences?
Fang Ruoxi said it!
Wang Liping felt like his heels were about to leave the ground, and he was about to fly away. He lost all confidence and said, "That's right, only I in the industry can get this done for you!"
Fang Ruoxi tapped the pen, "...Well, and then there's Sister Hong."
Chen Hong was startled and almost knocked over the thermos cup next to her, spilling a lot of water.
Fang Ruoxi smiled innocently, "How about this, you team up with Brother Li and Teacher Geng Bin, and hold a concert across the country. I'll be your guest performer."
Chen Hong: "...Um, Mr. Fang, no, Mr. Fang, doesn't the concert preparation time also need some time?"
Chen Hong is a bit chubby, and she has to spend some time working out before each concert to build up her lung capacity, otherwise she really can't handle the physical demands of a concert, let alone the nationwide tour that Fang Ruoxi mentioned!
Fang Ruoxi thought for a moment, "There will be less pressure with three people, and there will be publicity and buzz. Teacher Geng is a well-known figure, and I am also considering it from the perspective of a fan."
"So many true fans have criticized him for so many years. They must want to make amends to Teacher Geng. They can't wait even a minute longer."
Chen Hong: "…………"
Fang Ruoxi smiled angelically, "Sister Hong, do you know what's most important in our line of work?"
Chen Hong was stunned. "...Conscience?"
Fang Ruoxi: "Of course, it's about health."
Chen Hong: "?"
Concerts are a form of exercise, and they can also help you lose weight. Once you're slim, you'll be healthier.
Fang Ruoxi: "Okay, I'll create a group chat in a bit, and then the three of you can discuss the tour's setlist. I'll also bring in the head of the publicity department. Once you've decided, have them start promoting it immediately, and then everyone will be familiar with the rest of the process."
Fang Ruoxi didn't just drag others into it; she was even more ruthless towards herself.
After leaving the conference room, she went straight to the recording studio and finished preparing the three master tapes for Wang Liping before dinner.
After hearing this, Wang Liping's attitude changed drastically. It wasn't just boasting in the meeting room; he was completely excited and eager to acquire the talent. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Just these three songs are enough for me to poach all the star performers from Star Emperor!"
Fang Ruoxi, on the contrary, looked down on Xinghuang's pillar.
"Brother Wang could take a look at people like Teacher Geng."
"Your talent is recognized by the 'Big Three,' but due to conflicts of interest, you may not be able to use it for them, or you may be able to compete with their pillars."
Wang Liping: "Teacher Fang, you're thinking the same thing as me!"
"Alright! You just wait!"
Zhang Xiaomeng brought over dinner takeout, but Fang Ruoxi didn't even have time to eat a bite before a letter arrived from Country A.
Dr. B said that investors asked if the script could be revised.
Fang Ruoxi held the phone between her shoulder and shoulder, taking a takeout order with one hand and typing on her computer with the other. "Okay, tell him that the screenwriter of 'Princess Cruises' said that they don't guarantee it will win an award."
A long string of loud, strange laughs came from the phone.
Fang Ruoxi said frankly, "I can roughly guess why they proposed changing the script. We made it clear from the beginning that this script is aimed at winning awards."
"The cost is low, so the box office won't be too high, but the return on investment can reach about 10 times."
"If you are not satisfied with this result, then how about this: you pay, I sell you the script copyright, and I give up all subsequent revenue sharing and editing rights."
Dr. B immediately fell silent. After a long pause, he asked hesitantly, "Really? Are you serious?"
Fang Ruoxi squinted slightly as she listened to the sound of her fingers typing on the keyboard.
After quickly figuring out what was going on, I felt a bit tired, but I was really too lazy to argue anymore, so I just said, "Okay, $2300 million."
"The copyright to my script is worth this price, and I will not accept any bargaining."
Zhang Xiaomeng, standing to the side, felt her heart leap into her throat as she watched Fang Ruoxi's expression.
No one knows what the foreigner said, but Ruoxi's face immediately turned cold, and then she started muttering in English.
In just a few words, Fang Ruoxi's expression softened, and she returned to her composed demeanor.
"Of course, given our relationship, you can just tear up the contract in your hand. I won't ask you for any penalty for breach of contract, Dr. B."
"They were talking in a lot of gibberish over there."
Fang Ruoxi smiled and gave a few perfunctory replies.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Ruoxi's smile disappeared.
Zhang Xiaomeng watched as she stared blankly at her, deleting every single word from the computer document.
The final deleted title was: "[Lighthouse Entertainment Long-Term Film and Television Development Plan]"
