Chapter 30 That's a different price
A short while later, the secretary led the two to the room with the sign that read "President's Office".
"Don't be nervous, take your time."
At this moment, Jiaozi kindly offered a reminder.
That old fox Wang Changtian is usually harder to meet than to climb to heaven, so his initiative to ask me out this time is definitely not that simple.
Gu Yi didn't reply.
The moment the secretary pushed open the door,
He then saw Wang Changtian, who only appeared at various entertainment events, sitting behind a mahogany desk.
At this moment, the woman reclining on the sofa, wearing a neatly tailored white coat, stood up first, smiled, and reached out to greet him.
"Sun Yonghuan, head of fiber optic brokerage. It's unbelievable that someone from the e-sports world has become a dark horse in the music industry!"
Gu Yi reached out and gently touched it.
"Mr. Sun, you flatter me. Compared to the many artists and singers you've made famous, my achievements are nothing."
"Mr. Wang, it's an honor to meet you!"
He then looked at Wang Changtian.
Wang Changtian put down his pen and pointed to the sofa opposite him.
"sit."
"Thanks!"
After the three of them sat down,
The secretary began pouring tea for everyone.
Just as Jiaozi was about to speak,
Sun Yonghuan preemptively asked Gu Yi.
"Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, you went to Wanhe Tianyi's office building and stayed for a full two hours."
The air seemed to freeze, but Gu Yi smiled.
"You're following me?"
"Could they be plotting something against me?"
"I am indeed quite interested in you."
Wang Changtian smiled.
"Mr. Wang, don't discriminate based on region. I'm not interested in that kind of thing," Gu Yi joked.
"Hahaha! You've misunderstood."
Wang Changtian waved his hand.
"We're just worried you'll get scammed. After all, you just left the esports scene, and the entertainment industry is much more complicated than the arena."
Sun Yonghuan picked up his teacup and continued asking questions.
"Could you tell me what you were doing at Wanhe Tianyi?"
"It's also about cooperation."
Gu Yi refused to reveal the specifics.
We absolutely cannot reveal our hand now, otherwise the initiative in the negotiations will completely fall into the hands of the other party.
Wang Changtian's eyes flickered slightly.
"Oh? Does that have anything to do with what we're going to talk about today?"
"It's related."
Gu Yi changed the subject.
"But what I'm more interested in now is whether Mr. Wang's willingness to meet with me means he agrees to my investment?"
Wang Changtian shook his head.
"We're not here to discuss investing in Nezha."
"Mr. Wang!"
Jiaozi was somewhat bewildered.
Not going to talk about this?
Does he really want to invest his own money?
"I'll talk to you later."
Wang Changtian raised his hand to signal him to be quiet.
"Fiber optics isn't short of money. The reason we're so tight on it is because we need to spend money wisely. Besides, even without investment, this animation can still be completed normally."
Gu Yi frowned.
"Then why did you call me here?"
Sun Yonghuan put down her teacup and sat up straight.
"We've analyzed you. Esports is probably coming to an end, and your music career is just starting. Are you interested in considering becoming an artist?"
Gu Yi chuckled.
"Interesting. Are you after my huge fan base in the esports community?"
For a newcomer lacking confidence, signing with Fiberhome is indeed a good choice, given that the company produces many youth films.
But the problem is,
A few years ago, Lao Wang bravely ventured into the television drama industry.
Because they needed to buy viewership ratings, they quit the television industry in a fit of anger and are no longer involved in it.
But if you want to really become a huge hit, you still need resources from TV dramas and web series.
Wang Changtian and Sun Yonghuan exchanged a glance, somewhat embarrassed.
If Hu Xianxu hadn't announced he was in a relationship and no longer had the potential to become a top star, they wouldn't have needed to look for new talent.
It seems like the artists in the fiber optic industry have been having a run of bad luck in recent years. They finally managed to promote Bao Beier.
As a result, his wedding caused a huge uproar, and he even got involved with Liu Yan!
Sun Yonghuan quickly came to her senses.
"You can name whatever your conditions are."
"You should know that I'm quite comfortable being a musician."
Gu Yi leaned back on the sofa, relaxing his posture.
Now the initiative is in our own hands.
"We can set up an independent studio for you."
Sun Yonghuan immediately responded.
"I've already opened it myself."
Gu Yi refused to budge an inch.
Wang Changtian stopped beating around the bush.
What will it take for you to agree?
Gu Yi gets straight to the point.
"Nezha, can't I really vote?"
"You don't have enough chips."
Wang Changtian shook his head.
"We'll sign you, give you a signing bonus, and provide you with top-tier resources, but investing in a film and signing an artist are not equivalent."
Gu Yi didn't refute, but took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and pushed them in front of Wang Changtian.
"Then I'll show you something."
It is the script for "Making a Name for Oneself".
Wang Changtian picked up the script and flipped through a few pages.
"That's what we discussed with Wanhe Tianyi yesterday."
Gu Yi's voice was confident.
"The budget is 3000 million, and we've already raised 1500 million. I'll also be making a cameo appearance myself. We originally planned to seek investment from Tencent, but if you're interested, we can do a swap."
"The people working on this project told me about it."
Wang Changtian put down the script and smiled.
"The plot may generate buzz, but if you want to make a living in this industry by criticizing the entire film and television industry, you need to have a powerful enough backer."
Gu Yi suddenly stood up, pretending to grab the script.
"Then I'll talk to Teng Xun."
"Young man, sit down and talk this over."
Wang Changtian raised his hand and pressed down on the script.
"You're asking me to invest money, and then I have to bear the pressure of being criticized by my peers. You can't just not let me consider it, can you?"
"So, you think you don't have enough chips?"
Gu Yi raised an eyebrow.
Wang Changtian nodded in agreement.
Gu Yi smiled, then took out another document from his bag and handed it to Sun Yonghuan this time.
"This is the remake rights to the Peninsula Films' 'Your Wedding'."
"This movie grossed 1.5 million at the Peninsula Film Festival. I think it wouldn't be difficult for it to gross 3 or 4 million in China."
He emphasized his words and looked at Sun Yonghuan's face.
He knew that the head of this fiber optic brokerage was a well-connected figure in the mainland youth film industry.
He was the one who spearheaded the production of films such as "The Left Ear", "Fall in Love Like a Star", "The Witness" and "The Breakup Guru".
Having close relationships with directors like Tsang Kwok-cheung and Alec Su, he could naturally see the money-making potential of this project at a glance.
Sun Yonghuan opened the document and looked up with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"No wonder when I asked the copyright department this morning, they said it had already been bought by someone else. Turns out it was in your hands."
"Mr. Wang, what's your opinion?"
Gu Yi turned to the person behind the desk.
Wang Changtian took the copy of the remake rights and the box office analysis report handed to him by Sun Yonghuan, read them word by word, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"I can agree to the replacement you mentioned, but you need to sign a contract regarding fiber optics."
"That's a different price."
Gu Yi refused to budge an inch.
"Since you're already willing to be an actor, fiber optic resources won't be any worse than Tencent's."
Wang Changtian continued to persuade him.
