In fact, Li Dong didn't say much to Yang Si.
He simply said a few words about the endorsement of Far Away Mall. Yang Si didn't even ask about the endorsement fee and nodded directly.
This time, it was Li Dong's turn to be a little surprised. He couldn't help but smile. "Miss Yang, you didn't ask about the specific fee and the specific content of the work, and you directly agreed?"
Yang Si chuckled and said, "I know the general content even if General Manager Li doesn't say it. Actually, I also use Far Away Mall. Not only Far Away Mall, but also Far Away's PP Chat Software. I have also been using it. When you mentioned this, I was very interested. It was the same whether I asked or not. "
Li Dong gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Straightforward! Miss Yang is really a straightforward person. I could see it when you performed for Far Away. "
Listening to Li Dong talk about the past, Yang Si also sighed with emotion. "When I first saw General Manager Li, I felt that General Manager Li would definitely have a great future in the future. But to my surprise, this future didn't last as long as I thought."
At that time, Li Dong was very young in Yang Si's eyes. At that time, Li Dong had already created tens of millions of assets. Yang Si admired Li Dong very much.
At that time, she thought that this young man, Li Dong, should have a great future in the future.
So at that time, Yang Si had been very polite to Li Dong. Even when Li Dong attacked Li Qian, Yang Si went over to help.
But Yang Si didn't expect that in just a few years, Li Dong had actually reached this step today.
The head of the second largest private enterprise in Jiangbei and one of the top 100 richest people on the Hurun List. All of this was like a dream. Yang Si still couldn't believe it until now.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Not only did it exceed Miss Yang's expectations, but I also didn't expect this day to come."
After reminiscing about the commercial performance with Yang Si, Li Dong returned to the main topic. "Miss Yang agreed to it herself. What about your agent and the company you signed with?"
Caressing her hair, Yang Si replied, "General Manager Li might not know about this, but I'm an independent artist, and I'm the one who makes the arrangements for my work. My agent will only help me with my finances and take on assignments. As for the rest, I'll make my own decisions. "
When Li Dong heard this, he was filled with deep veneration. "Amazing!"
Although Yang Si's fame wasn't at the level of a Heavenly Queen, she was considered pretty good among the A-listers.
Furthermore, she didn't rely on movies or television to become famous, but her singing. To be able to reach this stage in the singing field without any company's help, Li Dong had to admit that Yang Si was formidable.
Yang Si understood the meaning behind Li Dong's words, so she covered her mouth and smiled. "General Manager Li, don't praise me, and don't overestimate me. Actually, I did sign with an entertainment company a few years ago, but due to some personal reasons, I terminated the contract with the company. In the past two years, I've been taking on fewer assignments, so it's my honor to be valued by General Manager Li this time. "
Yang Si wasn't lying. For Li Dong to get her to endorse Far Away Mall, it had exceeded her expectations.
Although Far Away Mall wasn't a giant e-commerce platform, in the current domestic market, Far Away Mall still had a good reputation.
Moreover, Li Dong's Far Away wasn't short of money, so he could find a bigger star to be the spokesperson.
But Li Dong found her, and even Li Dong personally talked to her about the endorsement.
Not to mention that Li Dong wasn't stingy, even if Li Dong was stingy and the money he gave wasn't up to standard, Yang Si was willing to accept this endorsement.
Sometimes, when weighing the gains and losses, one couldn't just look at what was in front of them.
Working with Far Away was also beneficial to Yang Si. In addition, making friends with Li Dong was also a good opportunity to expand her network. Yang Si was a smart person, so she naturally wouldn't haggle over the issue of money.
Seeing that Yang Si agreed readily, Li Dong laughed for a while and didn't say anything more.
As for the matter of money, Li Dong didn't specifically mention it. He simply talked to Yang Si about accepting the endorsement of Far Away Mall and what Yang Si should do next. Then, Li Dong ended the topic.
After that, the two chatted for a while. Seeing Li Dong raise his hand to look at his watch, Yang Si got up and said, "General Manager Li, then I'll leave first. Call me when it's convenient for you, and I'll come over to sign the contract. As for the specific endorsement requirements, we can talk about it in detail at that time. "
Li Dong nodded and said, "Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance."
Yang Si shook Li Dong's hand and nodded with a smile. "Happy cooperation!"
While the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, Zhang Meng, who was at the side, looked gloomy. Seeing that Yang Si was about to leave, Zhang Meng suddenly took out a document from his bag and handed it to Li Dong. "General Manager Li, you might not like the script of 'Steel Organ'. I have another script here, and you can take a look at it when you're free. This script for 'Blessed with Ears' won the Outstanding Script Award at the Pusan International Film Festival not long ago. This is also a comedic script, but it's not as deep as' Steel Organ '. It's slightly more relaxed. General Manager Li, you can take a look at it. "
Li Dong looked at him and was a little surprised.
Since you have a better script, why didn't you take it out the first time? What's the meaning of taking it out after I rejected the first script?
Looking at Li Dong's unhappy expression, Yang Si briefly hesitated before she explained, "General Manager Li, please don't misunderstand. It's not that Zhang Meng doesn't want to take a look at it. You might not know this, but 'Blessed with Ears' might have won an award at the Pusan International Film Festival, but not many people are optimistic about it. In the past, Zhang Meng had looked for many investors, but all of them were rejected. He was also shocked, and he felt that the script for 'Steel Harp' was better than 'Blessed with Ears', so he used the script for 'Steel Harp' to find someone to invest in. "
Hearing those words, Li Dong felt relieved, while Zhang Meng's face blushed. However, he did not say anything.
In fact, he did intend to look for investors for 'Blessed with Ears', and he was filled with confidence in the beginning.
At that time, he felt that if his script could win an award at the Pusan International Film Festival, investors would definitely flock over.
However, reality gave him a tight slap, and Zhang Meng sobered up.
Winning an award didn't mean anything. Although 'Blessed with Ears' had some fame in the industry, investors weren't optimistic about it.
Even after Zhang Meng won the award, no one was willing to invest in it.
In the end, even Zhang Meng was dealt a huge blow, and he gave up on the idea of getting investors to invest in this movie. Instead, he focused on 'Steel Organ'.
In Zhang Meng's eyes, 'Steel Organ' should have a higher audience than 'Blessed with Ears', and it would be easier for him to get investors.
Dreams were beautiful, but reality was cruel.
'Steel Organ' wasn't as popular as Zhang Meng had imagined, and the only investor had even pulled out due to financial issues.
After resigning from his position as Honshan Media's Vice-President, Zhang Meng had nowhere else to go.
'Steel Organ' was rejected by Li Dong, and Zhang Meng didn't want to lose his last chance. Thus, he hesitated before taking out 'Blessed with Ears'. This was also his last hope to move Li Dong.
Li Dong did not say a word, but took a look at the script.
After a while, Li Dong frowned.
Zhang Meng's face twitched. Li Dong had this expression before. Could it be that Li Dong didn't like the script again?
Actually, it wasn't that Li Dong didn't like the script, but after reading the script, he felt that the plot was familiar.
But it was a long time ago, and Li Dong couldn't recall where he had seen it before.
After thinking for a long time, Li Dong vaguely remembered that he should have seen this movie in his previous life. The reason why he remembered this movie was not because it was famous, but because he quite liked the lead actor.
If Li Dong remembered correctly, this movie should be starring Fan Wei.
In his previous life, there was a period of time when Li Dong liked this big-headed and thick-necked comedian. At that time, he even specially looked for the lead actor's movies and TV series.
It should be at that time that Li Dong had watched the movie "Blessed with Ears".
But this movie was not very famous, and the box office seemed to be dismal. Li Dong vaguely remembered that this movie had a good reputation, and there were quite a lot of good reviews.
Thinking about this, Li Dong came back to his senses and said: "This script is quite good. How about this? Leave it here and let me take a look. If I like it, I will contact Director Zhang."
Zhang Meng's eyes lit up and quickly said: "Sure. General Manager Li, take your time to read it. If you feel that there is something wrong, you can let me know. I can make some changes according to General Manager Li's wishes. I will be staying in Jiangbei for the next few days. General Manager Li can call me anytime if you have any questions. "
"Okay."
Li Dong smiled and nodded. He shook hands with Zhang Meng and sent them out of the office.
After the two left, Li Dong rubbed his chin and went into deep thought.
When Zhang Meng came to look for him to invest, Li Dong thought of this. The film industry would be developing well in the next few years. Should he get involved?
Previously, he had planned to start PP and Weibo. He had even considered starting a video website.
And in Li Dong's mind, there were quite a few popular movies and variety shows in the future. If he could combine all these, he might be able to make a fortune in the future era of big IP.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong shook his head.
It was still too early to think about this. He was really too busy now.
Real estate, supermarkets, logistics, e-commerce …
He had already spent too much energy on these things. If he were to start a film industry, he would not have enough money. Even if he did, Li Dong would not be able to take care of it.
If he happened to come across a script that could make money, he could invest some money himself. He could ignore everything else and wait to make money.
But Li Dong was not in the mood to do this for himself.
Even if he wanted to do it, he would have to wait until the other industries were on the right track.
Just as Li Dong was thinking about this, someone knocked on the office door again.
Chen Ke entered and said, "General Manager Li, Boss Qi is here."
Hearing that it was Qi Yunna, Li Dong quickly said, "Let her in. I was just about to look for her."
Then, Li Dong said, "Also, go and inform Boss Shen. Ask the mall to draft up the contract as soon as possible. We will look for Yang Si as the spokesperson."
Chen Ke nodded and quietly left the office.
