Chapter 16 Step by Step
"Okay, it's a pleasure to work with you."
After achieving his goal, Tang Lou chatted with Yang Mi and Reba for a while.
Yang Mi intentionally asked Tang Lou for his opinions on some investment projects. Tang Lou, with his experience from his previous life, gave some general opinions.
After all, he hadn't reached a deep friendship with Yang Mi yet, so he couldn't tell her too much or too specific information, only some general predictions.
However, these things alone were enough to greatly surprise Yang Mi.
After chatting for a while longer, the three of them said their goodbyes happily.
On the way back to Jiaxing Media, Yang Mi asked Dilraba questions while driving.
"While I went out to answer the phone just now, how did things go with Tang Lou? What are your thoughts on him?"
Yang Mi is very direct and sharp; getting his female artists to please and serve investors is just his basic job.
In some cases, these abilities are just as important as acting skills.
Dilraba recalled for a moment, her cheeks slightly flushed:
"President Tang is quite peculiar. He has the age and physique of a hot-blooded young man, yet he also possesses the gentleness and composure of a mature older man."
"I used the excuse of looking at the script to give him a little free ride and take advantage of him. He didn't refuse, but he didn't go any further either."
"When we made eye contact, I felt like he could see right through me."
"I think he is very intelligent and visionary. He has his own unique perspective on many things in the entertainment industry, and he exudes a special confidence and composure."
The more Reba thought about it, the more unfathomable Tang Lou seemed.
Some young investors are very pretentious during the first meeting, talking about art and dreams.
Some investors, on the other hand, showed their eagerness and gluttony from the very first meeting.
However, Tang Lou is not hypocritical, does not reject her sexy body, is not greasy, and does not have an unseemly manner. She is like a seasoned lover, neither taking the initiative nor rejecting, maintaining an ambiguous tone that is quite memorable.
Yang Mi is already married, so there are many things that cannot be done too openly right now, especially since this is only their first meeting with Tang Lou.
Therefore, when coordinating with Tanglou in the future, we can bring Reba along.
"Indeed, I can't see through this young man either. Didn't he say that the upcoming 'The Journey of Flower' on Mango TV will be a huge hit? If it's really as he says, then we'll cooperate with him on this project."
"When the time comes, I'll bring you and Bingbing to join the crew."
Yang Mi felt that this meeting was worthwhile.
Perhaps, Tang Lou really was the benefactor who helped her reach new heights in her career.
Speaking of Lin Yufeng, he can be considered a top director in the industry.
Lin Yufeng was born on Hong Kong Island and graduated from the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing in 86. She was also the first graduate of the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama from Hong Kong Island.
After graduating, Lin Yufeng joined Hong Kong Island Television Network, also known as TVB.
After honing her skills at TVB, she became one of the earliest Hong Kong directors to move north and develop her career. She has already directed many phenomenal TV dramas that have generated huge viewership in mainland China.
The most talked-about drama is the 09 series "Chinese Paladin," which is considered the pinnacle of fantasy dramas. Liu Yifei, who played Liu Yifei in the series, became the white moonlight of countless men.
Then, 11 years later, she directed "Scarlet Heart".
Next up is "The Journey of Flower," which will be broadcast soon.
In her previous life, 17 years ago, Lin Yufeng directed "Eternal Love," demonstrating her expertise in this genre of fantasy romance.
This time, Tang Lou approached Lin Yufeng as an investor and producer.
Lin Yufeng has already filmed "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" and "The Journey of Flower" this year, and originally planned to take a break for a while.
However, Tang Lou asked a teacher from Zhejiang Media Group to make the appointment.
Although Lin Yufeng is already in her fifties, she is still very fashionable, with short white hair mixed with purple, which makes her look very elegant.
Lin Yufeng was clearly somewhat surprised to see Tang Lou.
Tang Lou is simply too young.
"I never expected that someone so young would plan such a phenomenal variety show as 'Produce 101.' Your starting point is already the end point for many people."
Lin Yufeng had a very high opinion of Tanglou.
"I heard from Lao Wu that you have a project and want to invite me to direct it."
Lin Yufeng didn't beat around the bush.
Tang Lou gave the script of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" to Lin Yufeng.
After Lin Yufeng took it, he did not open it, but instead examined Tang Lou closely.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Tang Lou said sincerely, "Because I know that in the genre of ancient costume fantasy dramas, Sister Feng is the ceiling of our industry, and only Sister Feng can produce a series of phenomenal fantasy dramas."
"Before I started looking for a director for my script, I conducted a thorough analysis and study of your resume and works."
"Besides the already wildly popular ones, I also know about your recently completed dramas, 'The Journey of Flower' and 'Wu Xin: The Monster Killer.' Through some connections, I've gained a deep understanding of these two shows, and I'm quite certain that both of them will become hits."
"And the script I have in my hand will become another peak for mainland Chinese fantasy dramas, following in the footsteps of 'Chinese Paladin' and 'The Journey of Flower'!"
Having the experience of his past life, Tang Lou naturally has a deep understanding of Lin Yufeng's two latest dramas.
Lin Yufeng initially thought Tang Lou was just talking casually, but after listening carefully, he realized that Tang Lou really knew him very well.
I genuinely believe in and have high hopes for "The Journey of Flower" and "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".
"Actually, I'm not that confident myself. I expected 'The Journey of Flower' to become a hit, but I don't know if 'Wu Xin: The Monster Killer' will really have a market."
After all, "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" is just a web series and it's not broadcast on satellite TV.
When it comes to web dramas, Tang Lou carries the experience of his past life and his research on future trends, so every word he says is precious.
"Of course, web dramas will become the main driver of traffic for video websites in the future. Based on my research and analysis of competitors' projects, the upcoming 'Tomb Raider' series by iQiyi will become a phenomenal hit, and will also drive video platforms to invest heavily in web dramas."
Lin Yufeng is, after all, in his fifties. He is highly skilled in his profession, but he certainly lacks judgment and confidence in new things.
Tang Lou's conversation this time gave her a sense of clarity, as if the fog had been cleared.
"You are truly a very hardworking and dedicated young person. Your research on future trends far surpasses that of ordinary people."
"It seems that your ability to plan 'Produce 101' was not accidental, but inevitable."
Lin Yufeng originally intended to just chat casually for a bit, giving face to his old friend from Zhejiang Media Group, and was prepared to throw the script in the trash.
However, her conversation with Tang Lou was very beneficial, and she gained a lot of energy and confidence from him.
"If 'The Journey of Flower,' 'Wu Xin: The Monster Killer,' and 'The Lost Tomb' really become huge hits as you predicted, then I'll agree to direct 'Eternal Love' for you."
Lin Yufeng carefully put the script away: "I will read it carefully when I get back."
She certainly has enough confidence and expertise when it comes to period fantasy dramas.
