Bang!
The car door closed with a dull thud.
Lv Zhenhai sat in the back seat and buried his body in the thick seat. He closed his eyes and thought quietly.
Although this 2005 Mercedes-Benz had been driven for more than 100,000 kilometers, it was well maintained. As the official car of the Shonan TV office in Beijing, only a high-level official like Lv Zhenhai could enjoy it.
This time, Lv Zhenhai was very low-key when he came to Beijing. He only brought an assistant, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
The assistant knew Lv Zhenhai's habits very well. He didn't ask or start the engine, but waited patiently.
After four or five minutes, Lv Zhenhai finally opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Drive back to the hotel."
He was recalling the whole process of meeting with Lu Chen, including the conversation between them.
This was Lv Zhenhai's old habit. When he encountered an important person or thing, he would take advantage of the fresh memory to recall it to make sure that he didn't miss any details or places that he should pay attention to.
This good habit benefited Lv Zhenhai a lot. The reason why he could become the deputy director of Shonan TV at his current age was also related to this habit.
After receiving Lv Zhenhai's instructions, the assistant skillfully started the engine and drove the Mercedes-Benz back to the hotel.
When they arrived at the hotel, Lv Zhenhai got out of the car with his briefcase.
The assistant followed him, and the two took the elevator to the floor of the hotel.
After entering the room, Lv Zhenhai put the briefcase aside and sat down on the sofa in the small living room of the suite.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After smoking half a cigarette, his whole body relaxed.
The assistant served the tea that had just been brewed.
Lv Zhenhai didn't drink the tea immediately. Instead, he pointed to the seat next to him and said to the assistant, "Xiao Shan, sit down and chat with me."
The assistant didn't hesitate and immediately sat down. He carefully asked, "Uncle, is everything going well?"
The assistant didn't call him by his name because he was Lv Zhenhai's distant nephew and also the latter's confidant. He called him by his title in front of others, but in private, he called him by his elders.
It was precisely because of this trustworthy identity that Lv Zhenhai didn't hide many things from him. He even discussed with him and asked for his opinion.
The nephew's assistant knew the most important purpose of Lv Zhenhai's visit to Beijing this time. He also knew who he met before.
Lv Zhenhai forced a smile and said, "It's alright …"
In fact, it wasn't as good as he had expected. This time, he had used his connections and resources and didn't hesitate to condescend himself to find Lu Chen. It wasn't just to show his goodwill, but also to establish a good cooperative relationship with Lu Chen.
At present, the situation facing Shonan TV is quite bad. Its position in the industry is on the verge of collapse. In the north, Beijing Television is rising strongly. In the east, Zhedong Satellite TV is at its peak with the help of China's Voice. There are also several other satellite TV stations eyeing them covetously. The market pattern is facing great changes.
Since last year, Shonan TV had lost several international and domestic brand clients, and the advertising revenue had declined severely. The reason why he was able to take over was also related to the mediocrity of his predecessor.
By the same logic, now that Lv Zhenhai was sitting in this position, if he couldn't think of a way to reverse such a passive situation, how long he could sit in this position was really a problem.
How could he not tread on thin ice and be cautious and conscientious?
It was only after coming into contact with Lu Chen that Lv Zhenhai found that his original idea was a bit of wishful thinking.
Lu Chen was very young, but his speech and behavior were not inferior to those who had been in the industry for many years. In the face of the initiative of the deputy director of Shonan TV, he was still neither servile nor overbearing. He was calm and composed, showing his breadth of mind and sticking to his will.
If he hadn't fully understood the relevant information of Lu Chen, Lv Zhenhai would really find it hard to believe that two years ago, Lu Chen was just a bar singer who had not graduated from university and mingled at the bottom of Beijing.
Such a person would never be moved by small favors, and ordinary means were completely ineffective against him.
Thinking of this, Lv Zhenhai despised one of his colleagues who hooked up with Jin Hongwei. He actually used the Golden Luan Award nomination to make a deal with Lu Chen. Not only was he slapped in the face, but even the satellite TV station was also in a passive position.
When the Golden Luan Award was announced last month, the organizers, including Shonan TV, suffered a lot of criticism on the internet. Not only did they not get any benefits, but they also got a bad reputation, and even their partners were very dissatisfied.
Fortunately, that fellow followed Jin Hongwei down the stage, otherwise it would be really hard for Lv Zhenhai to repair his relationship with Lu Chen.
But now, Lu Chen was stubborn, which made Lv Zhenhai very vexed. He had already done this much, and it was impossible for him to go any further. Furthermore, there was not enough time.
What the higher-ups needed was results, and they wanted to reverse the situation in the shortest time possible. They couldn't let him slowly work hard.
The assistant could see that Lv Zhenhai was in a bad mood, so he imagined something and said indignantly, "Uncle, didn't you give him too much face? As a result, he became arrogant?"
Lv Zhenhai waved his hand and said, "It's not like that. Don't guess blindly. We had a good chat."
In the process of meeting, Lu Chen still gave him, the deputy director of Shonan TV, enough respect.
There was nothing wrong with Lu Chen's conduct.
But respect alone was not enough!
According to reliable sources, Chenfei Media, led by Lu Chen, was about to start shooting "You from the Star". This new series would undoubtedly be the most watched TV series this year, and it was very likely to set a ratings record again.
Because it was the end of the urban trilogy of Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, the perfect couple, it had become a hot topic on the Internet.
Beijing Television and Zhedong Satellite TV were confirmed to participate in the filming and production, and the premiere rights were already in the bag.
It's not like Shonan TV has anything to do with it!
Lv Zhenhai exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He picked up the bulging briefcase on the tea shelf, took out a hardcover book from it, and said with a wry smile, "When I left, Lu Chen also gave me a set of martial arts books."
What the hell, he didn't like to read this kind of casual book.
"The Smiling Wanderer?"
The assistant's eyes lit up: "This is the first edition hardcover edition, right? It can't be bought now. It's very expensive. "
Lv Zhenhai was stunned. He handed the thick book to his nephew: "Have you read this set of books?"
"Yes …"
The assistant happily took it and carefully touched the cover of the suit, saying, "This book is very interesting. I've already read it twice. The original set that I bought was borrowed by someone and I haven't returned it …"
"By the way, I remember that the film and television copyright of this book was bought by Lu Chen. I heard that it may be adapted into a movie and TV series!"
"What?"
Lv Zhenhai suddenly shivered and couldn't help grabbing his nephew's arm: "Say it again!"
The assistant was startled, and it took him a moment to recover and murmured, "I said, the film and television copyright of this book was bought by Lu Chen to make a movie and TV series."
Lv Zhenhai understood something in an instant!
