Chen Feng still has a lot of faith in her screenwriting skills. Take "Green Jade Case," for example, which has already earned him a substantial profit.
Wu ngting enjoys this kind of trust from Chen Feng, otherwise, as a complete newcor, no boss would be willing to spend so much money on her self-produced and self-written productions.
About midday the next day, Chen Feng went to the company to witness the signing between Fengmang Film and Television Company, Star dia, and Zhang Yuxi.
All parties were quite satisfied with the current situation.
Star dia didn't really lose out. On paper, they only got a breach of contract fee of 10 million and Fengmang Film and Television Company's promise of two significant supporting roles in its dramas. However, through this concession, Star dia established a cooperative alliance with Fengmang Film and Television Company.
During negotiations, Lu Sijia, under Chen Feng's instructions, verbally promised that future productions requiring investnt and cooperation would prioritize Star dia.
Fengmang Film and Television Company has been an erging force in the industry, making significant profits in less than a year since its founding. Several projects have been highly successful, naturally stirring envy and admiration among peers. Many industry colleagues have expressed interest in collaborating early on, but Fengmang Film and Television Company has remained tight-lipped until now, having established preliminary intentions with Star dia through "Green Jade Case."
Unfortunately, Star dia initially didn't see much potential in the "Green Jade Case" project; they only made a token investnt because their artist Zhang Jingwen was the lead actress.
Later, when "Green Jade Case" was completed and beca a sought-after acquisition among major satellite channels, they regretted it deeply.
This ti, Zhang Jingwen wanted to switch to Fengmang Film and Television Company; initially, they were very reluctant, knowing that Zhang Jingwen's value would further increase once "Green Jade Case" airs.
However, Zhang Jingwen was determined to switch companies, and there's only a year and a half left on her contract. Forcing her to stay would be aningless and might even turn Zhang Jingwen and Fengmang Film and Television Company against Star dia.
After weighing the pros and cons and going through a period of negotiation, they chose to compromise.
Actually, according to the promises given by Fengmang Film and Television Company, Star dia may not necessarily suffer losses.
One regret for Fengmang Film and Television Company was that Zhang Yuxi's manager, Sister Hua, couldn't co along.
The reason is that Star dia won't let her go.
Sister Hua is one of the managent directors at Star dia and has deep connections in the dostic entertainnt industry. She has previously helped several well-known artists rise to fa and currently manages a few artists besides Zhang Yuxi, so of whom are even more famous than Zhang Yuxi.
Star dia is afraid that if Sister Hua goes over, she might entice those artists to follow, so of course, they are unwilling to let her go.
Moreover, Sister Hua holds incentive shares at Star dia, giving them up would be a pity, and along with the existing contract, it's normal that she can't jump ship.
Fengmang Film and Television Company didn't want to be too aggressive and decided not to pursue bringing Sister Hua over.
After the contract was signed, Chen Feng made an excuse to leave, and Lu Sijia invited Star dia's representatives, along with Zhang Yuxi and Sister Hua, to a al on behalf of Fengmang Film and Television Company.
After leaving the company, Chen Feng drove over to East Lake Garden, where Zhang Jingwen is staying today.
As soon as Chen Feng exited the elevator, Zhang Jingwen's door opened. She stood there gracefully, quietly watching him approach.
When he got close, she finally spoke, "I thought you weren't coming."
"How could I not co?"
Chen Feng replied, naturally stepping into her room. As he changed his shoes, the door closed, and when he turned around, Zhang Jingwen, blushing, had already co over to wrap her arms around his waist from behind.
Her sudden proactive intimacy caught Chen Feng slightly by surprise.
He didn't dwell on the specific reasons or think about it much; he just smiled and turned around, picking her up and heading toward the sofa.
Over an hour later, they lay on the yoga mat, and Chen Feng sat up, saying, "I'll go take a shower."
Zhang Jingwen quickly said, "Let's go together; I'll scrub your back."
"Sure, let's go together," Chen Feng laughed heartily and pulled her up.
This wasn't her first ti being proactive; she had been quite forward during previous gas of cards.
Chen Feng was clear-headed enough now to understand the implications.
Undoubtedly, her deliberate attempts to please him were to secure her position in the upcoming company competition.
By winning Chen Feng, the boss's, absolute favor, Zhang Yuxi wouldn't be able to upstage her and would instead be beneath her.
Indeed, competition brings benefits.
After enjoying a couple's affectionate bath, they changed clothes and went out for coffee.
Though Chen Feng wasn't particularly interested, this was their first relatively formal date, and considering her efforts today, he didn't want to refuse.
The café she wanted to visit was quite a distance from East Lake Garden, taking about twenty minutes by car.
Without it being their first formal date, Chen Feng would likely be disinclined to make the trip.
The location was sowhat remote, but the interior was comfortable, with transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, gentle and soothing music, a faint coffee aroma in the air, and several free magazines and books for custors. There were also several cute kittens around the store.
Even though Chen Feng was indifferent to cats, he could appreciate that this café was very thoughtful.
"The coffee here is freshly ground from beans, very authentic. Moreover, it's quite peaceful here, and there's not usually a crowd. The custors are of high quality, so even if they recognize my identity, they won't co asking for autographs or photos."
Zhang Jingwen explained, and then they found a spot near the window to sit.
Taking charge, she ordered two different styles of coffee for them, both costing the sa at 120 yuan each, definitely on the pricey side.
It's no wonder the custor turnout is low; around three in the afternoon, besides the two of them, there was only one young woman and one employee at the service counter, making it very quiet.
Clearly wanting to delve deeper into understanding Chen Feng, Zhang Jingwen began asking questions with feigned curiosity, and Chen Feng patiently answered as much as he could.
Once they finished their coffee, approximately half an hour had passed, and Zhang Jingwen suggested going shopping, but Chen Feng coldly rejected it.
His reasoning was simple: being a celebrity ans public encounters are likely to result in gossip.
Reluctantly, Zhang Jingwen gave up and obediently followed Chen Feng to head back.
As they approached the spot where Chen Feng parked, ready to get into the car, a red Toyota suddenly pulled up in front of them and stopped.
