Chapter 504: The dust has settled

"We've bought the copyright." Chen Ziyan told Lu Yanhe that day, "As soon as the author heard that you wanted to adapt it into a TV series, he immediately agreed."Chen Ziyan was talking about the post on that Hu Siwei liked.

Lu Yanhe asked: "When are we going to talk to Hu Siwei about this?"

"You don't have to show up yet. I'll go." Chen Ziyan said, "I'm going to be frank with him and tell him that we are willing to help him with the projects that Beijing and Taiwan are unwilling to do, as long as he comes to us."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Will he come over like this?"

"It's difficult. It shouldn't be that easy." Chen Ziyan said, "We want to recruit Hu Siwei, but it won't be done overnight. This is just an olive branch to express our sincerity. In fact, the key to this matter lies in making Hu Siwei truly disillusioned with Beijing and Taiwan and willing to leave Beijing and Taiwan."

"Sister Zi Yan, what are you going to do?" Lu Yanhe asked curiously.

Chen Ziyan said: "I am not planning how to do it, but I am already doing it."

She gave Lu Yanhe a smile that was full of deep meaning.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what Chen Ziyan had done, but the smile on her face made Lu Yanhe realize that it was probably not a good thing.

-

"Hu Siwei really should have found a new leader to rely on. If Hu Siwei had relied on Director Jiang, things would be completely different now."

"At that time, the project of Friends was proposed by Hu Siwei, and had nothing to do with Xu Tai, you know? Although now it is said that Xu Tai had a keen eye and picked this project, the fact is not the case at all."

"That's such a pity. Xu Tai didn't get all the credit? I heard that he wanted to take over Shen Tai's position after Shen Tai retired."

"From the perspective of the present, it seems that Jiang Channel has more hope. After the failure of Friends, the only series left is The Seventeenth Floor. Alas, it's such a pity. Originally, our channel had two trump card series. We could have made a living for many years just by relying on these two series."

"Who can be blamed for the terrible movie Friends? I am really fed up with it. They found a director from abroad who has no idea about the situation in China and made a rubbish movie full of people having sex everywhere. Who would watch it? Do they really think that people in China accept this kind of thing?"

……

In the tea room, several girls came out while talking.

As soon as they came out, they unexpectedly ran into Hu Siwei. Their expressions immediately changed, they put away the smiles on their faces, and scattered like birds and beasts.

Hu Siwei walked into the tea room with an expressionless face, but his mind was thinking about what they had just said.

In fact, those girls didn't say anything negative about him. In fact, he had often heard such conversations in Beijing and Taiwan recently. They were all praising his abilities, regretting that he had met a leader like Xu Bin, and feeling upset for him - he had followed the wrong person.

The problem is not the content, but the fact that, recently, we hear it so often.

Hu Siwei worked his way up from the bottom of the society in Beijing and Taiwan. He is a man of action, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand interpersonal relationships, workplace ecology and the wind direction. If he didn't understand, he wouldn't be in his current position. Hu Siwei is worried that the wind is blowing too hard and will sooner or later reach Xu Bin's ears, or it has already reached Xu Bin's ears.

Given Xu Bin's personality, what would he think?

Hu Siwei didn't have to think too much to know what Xu Bin would think.

His relationship with Xu Bin is already very bad.

So what happens next?

Hu Siwei took a deep breath.

-

Although spring has arrived, the city is still dominated by black, gray and white, and the green buds cannot embellish the branches that have suffered from the cold for a whole winter.

Hu Siwei drove to the door of a coffee shop called "Spring" and parked the car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road. As soon as he got out of the car, he was hit in the face by a strong gust of wind.

He quickened his pace, pushed open the door of "Spring", entered the room, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Siwei, long time no see." Ma Sui from Bingyuan Video saw him come in, stood up with a smile, greeted him, and gave him a warm hug.

Ma Sui was also a colleague of Beijing and Taiwan. She worked in Beijing and Taiwan for two years and then left.

Hu Siwei was one of the few colleagues with whom she had a good relationship when she was in Beijing and Taiwan.

Hu Siwei smiled and said, "Congratulations, Star Glory is doing well. It should have achieved an S-level result, right?"

"Not bad, the average number of views per episode has exceeded 20 million." Ma Sui smiled and nodded, "Would you like a latte? Or an Americano?"

"Life has been hard lately, it's too bitter, I need something sweet." Hu Siwei ordered a cappuccino.

Ma Sui said: "We all know that the current situation in the third season of Friends is not your problem."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It hurts my heart when I mention it." Hu Siwei said in a joking tone.

Ma Sui smiled and nodded, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"I want to ask you, is it possible for the project of 'Liu Guang Yin' to be broadcasted on TV and the Internet?" Hu Siwei said, "I know that this drama is invested by your company, Bingyuan, and you are also planning to broadcast it exclusively as your big drama."

Ma Sui looked at Hu Siwei in surprise and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"Siwei, you are representing Beijing and Taiwan, and you are proactively asking us if a web series can be broadcasted on both Taiwan and the Internet?"

For many production companies, when they make a drama, they still want it to be broadcasted on TV and the Internet, which means they can earn more copyright fees.

However, for online video companies like Bingyuan Video, the exclusive dramas they invest in usually have to wait until the online premiere is over before selling them to TV stations for broadcast depending on the situation.

The reason for exclusive broadcasting is, of course, that everyone knows that exclusive broadcasting can concentrate all markets on one point and produce a greater effect.

Hu Siwei said: "Let 'Liu Guang Yin' be broadcasted for the first time on Beijing and Taiwan TV stations. As soon as an episode is broadcast on TV stations, an episode will be released online on your Bingyuan. As you know, the current TV ratings have almost no impact on the online broadcast volume, and even have a promoting effect. This will not only not affect the performance of 'Liu Guang Yin' on your Bingyuan video, but will also further expand its coverage. What do you think?"

Ma Sui did not express her attitude immediately, but looked at him in surprise.

"Siwei, based on my understanding of you, you shouldn't be so interested in the project "Liu Guang Yin", right? If we took the initiative to approach you and wanted to sell the TV broadcasting rights, you might be interested in it. Why did you ask me out specifically to talk about this? " Ma Sui looked at Hu Siwei in surprise.

In Ma Sui's understanding, this is not something Hu Siwei would do at all.

Hu Siwei lowered his head and smiled, saying, "The boss wants a big project, so I will bring him a big project back."

When Ma Sui heard this, he immediately sighed.

"So he gave you a task."

Hu Siwei smiled.

"Do you... really intend to work under him for the rest of your life?" Ma Sui looked at him doubtfully, and one could tell from her eyes how much she didn't understand.

Hu Siwei also knew why Ma Sui looked at him with such a look of confusion.

Wasn't the reason why Ma Sui left Beijing and Taiwan at that time because she couldn't stand the interpersonal relationships and ways of doing things in Taiwan?

Now, Ma Sui has become a well-known producer in the industry. She is responsible for a large project like "Liu Guang Yin" with a multi-million-dollar investment. In addition to her catching up with the rapid development of the streaming media era, it is also inseparable from her own ambition, hard work and efforts. Her personality is not suitable for places like Beijing and Taiwan, so she can stand out in the era of wild growth of streaming media.

However, Hu Siwei and Ma Sui have exactly opposite personalities, and they are each other’s opposite sides.

He is steady, cautious, and conservative, and is used to working in a place where he feels safe. All his ideas about work require a stable platform for him to display with confidence. Otherwise, he will always be staring at the stability of his position instead of focusing on his work.

Ma Sui obviously knew him very well.

Hu Siwei didn't say anything.

Ma Sui: "Siwei, I am serious. With your ability and the connections you have accumulated in this industry for so many years, if you are willing to step out of Beijing and Taiwan, I believe you are fully capable of doing even better. The outside world is too big. It is not like Beijing and Taiwan, where there are only a few people and a small platform. In order to fight for positions, people are scheming against each other and have to consider this and that. In the end, all your hard work may go down the drain just because you are too confused."

Hu Siwei smiled silently.

"The domestic film and television drama market is still in a very intense change. Lu Yanhe brought about the trend of short series and weekly broadcasts, allowing the industry to see the commercial value of this type of drama, and took Chinese dramas overseas to open up another market. The rules of the game will be greatly adjusted in the future. Similarly, the production industry is also constantly washing out some parallel imports." Ma Sui said, "You are the promoter of "Friends". "Friends" is one of the best-received dramas in China in recent years. So far, so many people who want to copy the success of "Friends" and make sitcoms have all failed. As long as you come out, believe me, there will be no platform that will not extend an olive branch to you."

"It's not that easy to succeed." Hu Siwei said softly, "Even for me, I don't know if I can succeed in making another sitcom. It really requires the right time, place and people."

"Of course, we all know that the success of a drama requires the right time, right place and right people." Ma Sui nodded, "But at least you are an expert in the industry. You see, everyone in this industry calls me Sister Sui and says that I am a gold medal producer. But at that time, "Friends" was so popular, and Bingyuan Video asked me to make a sitcom, but I refused to do it. Why? Because I don't understand it and I can't do it. There are too few talents in China who make sitcoms, and there are even fewer producers like you who have representative works and experience. You don't know how valuable you are. Fairy tales, suspense dramas, romance dramas, spy dramas... To be honest, these types of dramas have no shortage of producers or directors, because the market is so big, and a group of people will survive the fittest every year. It has formed such a cycle. Even if I am like this now, I dare not say that my next drama will definitely be popular, but I am sure that the drama I make will definitely not fail to get a passing score. I have such professional confidence. You are the same. You make a sitcom. Maybe it can't become a phenomenal drama like "Friends", but it won't be very bad."

Ma Sui's words were like a hook, catching some thoughts in Hu Siwei's mind.

These thoughts have been brewing many times over this period of time.

-

After Ma Sui finished talking with Hu Siwei and said goodbye, she got into her car and called Chen Ziyan.

"Zi Yan, I have completed everything you asked me to do." Ma Sui said with a smile, "But how did you know he would come to me?"

"He suddenly asked about the situation of the project 'Liu Guang Yin' these two days. I guess he might look for you, but I'm not sure he will look for you." Chen Ziyan said with a smile, "But now it proves that my guess was right."

"You are always the most informed. You even know what he is concerned about recently."

"Of course. I want to recruit him, so I have to put in some effort." Chen Ziyan said, "Tom White will come to China next month. I will introduce you to each other then."

"Thank you, dear." Ma Sui raised the corner of her mouth, "However, I am planning to ask Zhang Lan to star in "The Flowing Light", do you mind?"

"What do I mind?"

"After all, she was once an actress you coached," Ma Sui said. "I heard that your breakup was not very pleasant."

"We didn't become enemies. If we're unhappy, then we're unhappy." Chen Ziyan said, "But your tactics are quite powerful. You know how to hit the weakest part. As soon as she heard that Jiang Yuqian was also paying attention to the script of 'The Flowing Light', she immediately signed a performance agreement with you."

"You already know this."

"You guys used Jiang Yuqian as bait, so of course she would notice it." Chen Ziyan said, "In this line of work, there are no walls that are impenetrable."

"That's true." Ma Sui suddenly noticed that there were raindrops falling, and soon the windshield became hazy.

She turned on the windshield wipers and said, "Zi Yan, I also want to ask, when can we film a movie with Yan He?"

Chen Ziyan said: "Oh, it's not that I don't want to, but you also know that Yan He doesn't have time to shoot long dramas now. The dramas you do are basically more than 30 episodes, and the shooting time is too long."

"If Yan He is willing to star in the film, I would be very willing to tailor a short series script for him," Ma Sui said. "Really, as long as he is willing to come."

Chen Ziyan: "I really can't promise you anything right now. His schedule is really too tight."

Ma Sui: “Okay.”

"However, Minglan, you have a good role to give her. I am very confident in the drama you are doing."

Ma Sui: "You definitely don't like the second female lead in "The Flowing Light", and I'm embarrassed to offer it to you. But from the perspective of the platform, I'm still a little worried about letting Minglan play a big drama with a heroine. In the future, if there is a good second female lead, or a good group drama, I will give you the script."

"Okay." Chen Ziyan said.

"Speaking of which, the second female lead in "The Flowing Light" is really a problem." Ma Sui laughed, "Zhou Ping'an has always wanted to send his actress named Fu Li over, but her current popularity is really hard to support the second female lead. And the male lead of our drama has chosen Yan Liang, so it would be unreasonable not to give him this face."

"Fuli?" Chen Ziyan laughed when she heard it. "It's okay. You don't have to be the bad guy. You spread the news to Zhang Lan. After Zhang Lan searches the Internet for Fuli's appearance, she will be the bad guy."

"Ah?" Ma Sui was a little surprised.

Chen Ziyan: "I have never seen any actress prettier than Zhang Lan in a movie."

Ma Sui understood immediately.

-

"Are you kidding me? They asked Fuli to play the second female lead, so that she can step on me to get to the top?"

Zhang Lan complained angrily to her boyfriend and agent Shi Zhou.

Shi Zhou also just heard the news.

He also knew Fu Li. They were all contracted actresses of Star Entertainment, and Shi Zhou knew Fu Li's conditions. She was known as the most beautiful young actress currently contracted by Star Entertainment.

It is not surprising that Zhang Lan has such concerns.

Shi Zhou said, "I'll go negotiate with Ma Sui."

Zhang Lan: "Zhou Ping'an is a man who will not give up until he achieves his goal. Even if you go to negotiate with Ma Sui, Ma Sui may not be able to stop Zhou Ping'an. Don't forget that the male lead of this drama, Yan Liang, is also an actor brought by Zhou Ping'an. Zhou Ping'an has bargaining chips in his hands. When I wanted Yan Liang out, Ma Sui directly said that Yan Liang was the person specifically requested by the investors."

Shi Zhou was silent for a moment and asked, "So what do you want to do?"

Zhang Lan: "Give Ma Sui a reason to reject Fu Li."

-

Hu Siwei frowned slightly.

Chen Ziyan said frankly: "To be honest, I heard that you were interested in this story and wanted to adapt it into a TV series, but Beijing and Taiwan were not very interested in this adaptation plan, so I paid attention to it. Indeed, I almost finished reading this story in one night. Once I was into it, I wanted to keep reading and follow it."

Sitting in a restaurant downstairs of Jingtai Building, the presence of Chen Ziyan and Hu Siwei did not attract attention.

In this restaurant, you can often see various celebrities, agents, producers and directors. After all, this restaurant is right next to Beijing and Taiwan, and most of the people who come here to eat are people in this industry. Hu Siwei spread his hands and said, "So, are you going to adapt it into a TV series?"

"If you come to take charge," Chen Ziyan said frankly, "We at Linghe Film and Television currently don't have any talent for producing TV series and movies. Currently, our people are all working on copyright operations. If you come, you will be the first person in charge of content production in our company."

The implication of Chen Ziyan's words was also very clear.

What this means is that as long as Hu Siwei is willing to come, he will be the first person in charge of content production for Linghe Film and Television.

There is no need to explain this meaning in detail. Just mention it once and Hu Siwei will understand what it means.

Hu Siwei: "Zi Yan, Linghe is indeed a company with great potential, but it is actually just starting out. You know, all my work experience has been accumulated in Beijing and Taiwan. Every project I have done was done on such a platform. I don't have much experience in doing projects in such a start-up company."

Hu Siwei's words were already quite tactful.

What he meant was that Linghe Company was just starting out and was too immature in every aspect.

This is indeed the case. The resources that Hu Siwei can mobilize in Beijing and Taiwan are completely different from the resources he can mobilize at Linghe Film and Television.

No matter how the TV station has declined, Beijing TV is still a giant that is bigger than a horse. When he does a project in Beijing TV, there are mature supporting mechanisms in all aspects. No matter which link has problems, he knows who to find to solve them. This is not the case in Linghe.

Especially in a film and television market with such high risks, if a project has any problems, tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars will be stuck in the project, and the company may be paralyzed and unable to operate.

One or two hundred million may seem like a lot of money, but for a film and television production company, one project may make it go down the drain.

This is why many small and medium-sized film and television companies are ultimately doomed to be funded by large companies and platforms.

There is almost no one who will not encounter difficulties and will not find themselves in a situation where they need investment from others to continue to survive.

Chen Ziyan said to Hu Siwei, "Of course, but we have to look at things from both sides. Siwei, only here can you get the greatest degree of freedom. You have been in Beijing and Taiwan for so long. Have you ever really made your own decisions and done a project completely according to your ideas?"

Hu Siwei was silent.

Chen Ziyan knows how to hit the snake in the weakest part.

She never does things randomly and never speaks nonsense, especially when necessary, almost every word and every action has its purpose.

Chen Ziyan said: "If this was the first or second year that Yan He started writing scripts, I would not come to you to say these words, because it would be useless to come to you, and I would not have the confidence and capital to persuade you to come. But in these four years, you have also seen what kind of market Yan He's scripts and projects are in, and what kind of results they have achieved. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about Linghe Film's next arrangements, the movie "Love Letter", this movie has been booked by the Jose-La Film Festival, and it is a foregone conclusion that it will be shortlisted for the main competition unit. Although the "Squid Game" series is produced by Northern Lights, the copyright is in our own hands. We will definitely be deeply involved in the next two sequels. In addition, this is the point I want to tell you today."

Hu Siwei frowned slightly, looked at Chen Ziyan, and asked, "What?"

Hu Siwei didn’t know what the point was.

Chen Ziyan asked: "Are you willing to accept the abrupt end of the Friends series?"

-

Are you willing?

Of course not willingly.

How could he be willing to see a drama that could have been made into a classic series being messed up like this?

But what can I do if I am unwilling?

To describe these four words in one sentence, it would be "the building is deserted."

Of the three people who originally worked on the show, he is now the only one left supporting it. The third season had such a bad reputation that the fourth season was almost hopeless. What can he do?

Hu Siwei looked at Chen Ziyan in silence.

Chen Ziyan said: "If I tell you that if you join Linghe, you can restart "Friends", you will still be the producer, Bai Jingnian will still be the director, Lu Yanhe will still be the lead actor and screenwriter, Yan Liang, Wen Minglan, Zhan Yun, Bai Jin, and Yin Xincheng will all return, will you seriously consider joining Linghe?"

Hu Siwei looked at Chen Ziyan in disbelief and was speechless for a long time.

"What are you-"

Chen Ziyan smiled slightly.

-

Hu Siwei's mind was in confusion.

He returned to Beijing in a daze, sorting out the news he heard from Chen Ziyan in a daze.

It was Xu Bin's idea to resell "Friends" to Yuehutai, and Shen Tailin signed it. "Friends" has been sold to Yuehutai and no longer belongs to Jingtai.

Hu Siwei is the actual person in charge of the "Friends" project, but if Chen Ziyan hadn't told him, he would still be in the dark.

His mentality collapsed and he lost control and rushed into Xu Bin's office.

Facing his questioning, Xu Bin simply said: "This is the decision of the station."

Hu Siwei wanted to ask him why the station made such a decision.

However, Xu Bin's calm and indifferent face, as if nothing had happened, was like a late autumn moon, hanging coldly in front of his eyes. Looking at him, Hu Siwei suddenly lost his temper.

why?

What answers can we get?

Friendship is just an asset. For Beijing and Taiwan, it is an asset that does not make money. At this time, Yuehutai is willing to spend money to buy it to fill the hole of the third season of Friendship. Why would the top management of Beijing and Taiwan not be happy?

It was on Xu Bin's calm face that Hu Siwei suddenly realized a fact that he had known for a long time but was unwilling to admit:

Here, he is the only one who has devoted more effort than monetary benefits to the "Friends" series. In other words, he is the only one who is still thinking about whether he can make up for it and bring "Friends" back to life.

Why did Xu Bin and the others turn a deaf ear to his opposition when the third season of "Friends" was ruined?

Because they never understood from the beginning why Friends was so popular with the audience. They didn't intend to understand. Anyway, it was just a money-making thing. If it didn't make money, then just take it off the shelves.

Hu Siwei walked out of Xu Bin's office in a daze.

He sat in his office for a long time, until the sun set and the night drowned the world like an ocean.

When he woke up from his dream, he saw a high moon hanging outside the window, hanging in the distant sky.

At night, Yuming is full of colorful flowers, bright trees and lights.

Only the bright moon is looking at this world from afar.

He wanted to ask the moon, the night on earth is already so bright, why do you still have to stay in the sky, shining brightly and coldly?

The world doesn't need you anymore.

He didn't ask.

Because Mingyue won't reply to him.

-

The next day, the program "Film and Television Critics" was officially announced on Yuehu TV.

Yuehu TV and the "Jump Up" team jointly created a new film and television review column, "We will use the sharpest viewpoints, the most realistic attitudes, and the freshest information to interpret the current Chinese-language films and television for you."

The resident critics include Lin Yu, chief film critic of "Jump Up", Guan Suchen, a well-known domestic entertainment critic, Chen Shu, a film critic of "Tomorrow Daily", and Chen Miao, chief writer of "Dream Back". In addition, in the 15-minute program every day, they will contact famous film critics from other countries in the world from time to time to interpret the latest Chinese-language film and television works and bring information and commentary reports.

This news itself does not attract much attention. After all, among the four resident commentators, except Guan Suchen who often attracts attention because of his remarks on his personal social media, the other three are not well-known to the public.

However, such a review program was officially announced by dozens of celebrities including Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, Huang Kairen, Jiang Yuqian, Peng Zhixing, and Liu Zhiyin. It was even more powerful than the promotional lineup for a movie to be released, and it caused quite a stir.

Such a program seems to have no direct relationship with Lu Yanhe, but the moment it comes out, people know that this program must be inextricably linked to Lu Yanhe.

Yuehutai and Lu Yanhe really joined hands to cooperate.

This is not a signal, this is a fact.

At this time, an even more explosive news came out: Yuehutai is very likely to take over "Friends" and restart the series.

Compared to "Film and Television Critics", of course the news about "Friends" is more eye-catching.

A match set the whole wilderness on fire.

Some people say that Yuehutai spent nine figures to buy the remake rights of "Friends".

Some people said that Yuehutai secretly put pressure on the leaders and forced Jingtai to resell "Friends" to them.

Some people also said that the ratings of the third season of "Friends" plummeted, and Beijing Taiwan suffered huge losses on this project and needed to rely on selling it to fill the book deficit.

All kinds of rumors, reliable and unreliable, seemingly plausible but impossible to be true, are flying all over the place.

Until Yuehutai and Jingtai jointly issued a statement, the content of which included: Yuehutai obtained the production rights of "Friends" from Jingtai, and Jingtai will share the subsequent profits as the copyright partner. In short, Yuehutai did get the production rights of "Friends", but the copyright is still in the hands of Jingtai. It's just that how Yuehutai makes "Friends" has nothing to do with Jingtai, and Jingtai only has the right to get a share of the profits.

Fans of "Friends" are all confused.

Jingtai has already filmed the third season into this state, it’s so rotten to the core of the earth, but Yuehutai still took over. Why?

Then, another even more explosive news came out.

Yuehutai is actively negotiating with Lu Yanhe, inviting Lu Yanhe to return and restart the "Friends" series.

For a time, the sky was filled with boiling water.

Entertainment critic Guan Suchen is still at the forefront of the trend and expressed his own opinion: Lu Yanhe actually left "Friends" after the end of the first season. However, more than two years have passed and the third season has been aired, and Lu Yanhe is still a name that "Friends" cannot avoid. It is conceivable what kind of existence Lu Yanhe is to the audience of "Friends". Jingtai has made the third season of "Friends" into this state, and it has almost reached the point where no one can save it. But if Yuehutai can really invite Lu Yanhe back, can this rekindle the audience's confidence in "Friends"?

She initiated a poll: If Lu Yanhe returns to write and star in the drama, will you give "Friends" another chance?

In the poll she personally initiated, more than people voted, and in the end, % chose yes.

This incident has also become the most watched thing in the entertainment industry in recent times.

-

Chen Ziyan discussed with Yuehu TV about when to announce the news of Lu Yanhe's return, and finally they unanimously decided that since the topic was so popular now, there was no need to respond for the time being.

After all, it may take one to two years from the reboot to the broadcast. They need to keep the project in the audience's field of vision and let everyone keep looking forward to the project, so this news can be announced later.

"Rather than that, let's talk to Bai Jingnian about returning to direct as soon as possible." Chen Ziyan said to the people from Yuehutai with a smile, "It would be best if the golden triangle could reunite in the reboot of Friends. I think this is the key to making the audience really willing to give it another chance. Oh, by the way, talk to the leading actors as well as soon as possible. It's hard to find a schedule."

For a project like this, there are so many things to do inside and outside.

Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe once again formally asked Hu Siwei out.

"Brother Siwei, come on, the reboot of Friends needs you." Lu Yanhe said to Hu Siwei sincerely.

Hu Siwei smiled helplessly.

From the time Lu Yanhe started to have such thoughts, to the time so many things happened in between, to now, it has actually only been over a month.

But to Hu Siwei, it seemed as if a turbulent era had passed.

Chen Ziyan said: "Thinking, the Friendship series, and the couples' stories you want to adapt, including the subsequent Chinese Paladin written by Yan He, all need you."

Hu Siwei took a deep breath.

"Do you have that much confidence in me?"

"Of course." Lu Yanhe nodded firmly and said, "You made Friends yourself. I know best how much you have contributed to the success of this drama."

Chen Ziyan took out a contract and pushed it to Hu Siwei from the table.

"This is the condition we offer you, a base salary of 2 million, excluding project bonuses and commissions." Chen Ziyan said, "We know that you will feel disappointed after leaving Beijing and Taiwan without a stable platform with huge resources. But we have the best projects, the greatest trust, and full support. We really can't provide you with huge resources like Beijing and Taiwan, but you can build your team here."

Hu Siwei picked up the contract that Chen Ziyan pushed over to him and his eyes fell on it.

"Will Bai Jingnian come back?" he asked.

Lu Yanhe laughed with relief. Hu Siwei was willing to ask this question, which meant he was willing to come.

"I believe if you are willing to come, he will definitely be willing too." Lu Yanhe said as he raised his glass, "Friends has been around for three years. We left one by one and came back one by one. It can finally be Friends. Let's toast to Friends!"

Hu Siwei and Chen Ziyan clinked glasses with Lu Yanhe and drank them all in one gulp.

In fact, they didn't understand the meaning of Lu Yanhe's words.

But it doesn't matter.

Lu Yanhe knew that they would know after the script came out.

After many twists and turns, "Friends" finally became "Friends".

-

The minimum number of words is 428. The monthly ticket is now , and an additional words will be added, for a total of words.

When I first decided on the title "Friends", I was planning to write about this part. I never expected that it would be so long and take so long.

Finally complete.

I continued to practice.

Keep asking for monthly tickets! The monthly ticket bonus activity continues! (End of this chapter)
