Chapter 75 Kiwi Fruit Secures Copyright for "The Golden Hairpin"

Colleagues all admired Tanglou immensely. Several projects in a row were a hit, and even the copyrighted TV series they purchased became a phenomenon. What vision and ability that is!

Everyone understands that working for Tanglou at KuMiao now means a bright future.

My colleagues in the purchasing department will undoubtedly receive a substantial bonus in the first quarter, thanks to the drama "Descendants of the Sun".

"Mr. Tang, I heard you're preparing to film a new drama called 'The Golden Hairpin,' and you're collaborating with director Lin Yufeng again this time?"

A colleague learned of this news from outside and wanted to get a response from the tenement building. If it's true, then there's another big project coming up.

"Yes, Mr. Tang, I heard that the male lead this time is none other than the top-tier young heartthrob, Wu Yifan!"

Clearly, everyone is looking forward to it. The investment and scale of this drama make it another big production. Participating in such a large project can definitely lead to significant growth, not to mention the bonuses after the project's success.

Tang Lou did not give a clear response to this news, only vaguely mentioning it:

"I am still evaluating the 'The Golden Hairpin' project, and I cannot disclose any specific details at this time."

"Currently, we are still focusing on the variety show 'Heart Signal' that we have on hand. There's no need for everyone to make wild guesses. Just do your job well."

After Tang Lou finished speaking, he returned to his office.

He was quite pleased that his subordinates had heard about his plans to prepare for the "The Golden Hairpin" project, indicating that the news he had revealed had already spread throughout the industry.

So now, all we have to do is wait for the kiwis to take the bait.

kiwi.

Gong Yu has been urging his team to find new high-quality web dramas and spare no expense or resources to produce an S+ level high-quality drama as soon as possible to fill the gap left by "Yu Zui".

In addition to his work with his internal team, Gong Yu also paid close attention to the work of Coolcat.

"What's been going on with Cool Cat lately, especially with that tenement building?"

For a large video platform like this, it's quite normal to hire some corporate spies or bribe a few informants in order to better understand the movements of its competitors.

The head of the self-produced drama department proudly boasted:

"Mr. Gong, I have some good news. Coolcat's Tanglou is preparing to launch a brand new project called 'The Golden Hairpin'."

"To promote this project, he has already met with the renowned director Lin Yufeng, the top young actor Wu Yifan, and the popular young actress Zheng Shuang."

"After learning this news, I immediately went to find out what was going on and discovered a major oversight on Tanglou's part: although they had started preparing for the project, they had not yet purchased the copyright to the most important novel, 'The Golden Hairpin'."

The head of Kiwi's self-produced drama department naturally has the authority to purchase copyrights, so he immediately bought the film and television adaptation rights to the original novel of this drama.

"President Gong, I have already bought the copyright to 'The Golden Hairpin.' No matter how well Tanglou plans, they have no chance now."

Gong Yu never expected that Tang Lou would be so careless in his actions.

"President Gong, it's not really Tang Lou's fault for being negligent. It's mainly because we're too well-informed. He had just had this idea and went to find Lin Yufeng, Wu Yifan, and Zheng Shuang when we received the news."

"I can only say that our team has an incredibly keen market sense. By taking advantage of someone else's premeditation, we were able to secure the rights to 'The Golden Hairpin' ahead of time."

"Last time, he stole our drama 'Descendants of the Sun,' so this time we'll give him a taste of his own medicine."

The person in charge of Kiwifruit's self-produced drama is a big shot in the industry, and his ability is beyond doubt.

Now that we have the project direction for Tanglou and know his project formula, we can just take it directly.

"Mr. Gong, now that we have the copyright, we can completely copy this project."

"I have some connections with director Lin Yufeng and we've collaborated quite a bit, so persuading her wasn't difficult."

"As for Wu Yifan, I have a good relationship with his agent. Moreover, I know Wu Yifan quite well. That kid is very greedy. As long as the money is right, everything is negotiable."

"And then there's Zheng Shuangyao. Everyone in the industry knows that money is what she values ​​most, so I'm confident I can handle the director and the male and female leads."

"With this solid foundation, coupled with Tang Lou's foresight and optimism, I believe this drama will definitely be a success."

The head of Kiwi's self-produced drama department has, of course, held a meeting to discuss the original work of "The Golden Hairpin". After adapting the script, the entire story content is very solid.

After listening to his subordinate's assessment and analysis, Gong Yu thought for a moment.

The lineup of Lin Yufeng, Wu Yifan, and Zheng Shuang is indeed strong enough. Moreover, this project is something Tang Lou values. Although he is very unhappy with Tang Lou, his ability and vision are truly remarkable.

With both Feng Xiaogang and Stephen Chow inviting Wu Yifan to join their film projects, it's clear that Wu Yifan has potential and popularity, and could very well become a future superstar.

"Since this is a project that Tanglou is preparing to invest in, then you should develop it into our next top-tier self-produced drama. I've already approved the funding for you."

"My requirement is that it be done as quickly as possible. After that, we'll use the original Tanglou swords to kill those Cool Cats."

With Gong Yu's approval, the head of the self-produced drama department immediately got to work.

Tang Lou has given him no shortage of setbacks lately, and this time he's determined to avenge himself.

Thanks to the generous offer from the kiwifruit company, Lin Yufeng quickly received an invitation.

Lin Yufeng was clearly taken aback after seeing the script for "The Golden Hairpin".

"Mr. Gao, are you saying you snatched the rights to this drama from Tanglou and will be producing it?"

Lin Yufeng is very optimistic about this story and is eager to bring it to life.

However, she originally thought it was a collaboration with Tang Lou, but she never expected that Tang Lou would make such a big mistake.

However, since she had a good relationship with Tang Lou, she still planned to talk to him and ask for his thoughts.

Tang Lou sounded very regretful after receiving Lin Yufeng's call.

"Sister Feng, it's true. I was careless; I didn't expect the kiwi fruit business to act so quickly."

"Now that the copyright is gone, there's nothing I can do. However, this drama is really good, and it's especially suitable for Wu Yifan as the male lead. I was originally thinking of pushing him to the top of the popularity charts, but it seems that's not the case."

"Sister Feng, it's up to you whether you want to take this project or not. In any case, it won't affect our relationship. I'll come to you again when I find a suitable script."

Tang Lou's tone was filled with deep helplessness.

Lin Yufeng never expected that Tang Lou would lose so completely this time.

"It's the kiwi fruit that benefited, getting the ready-made scheme from the tenement building."

Lin Yufeng is, after all, a professional director, and opportunities to get such top-notch projects are rare. This drama is also a perfect fit for her and her team.

With such high salaries offered for kiwifruit, this project, which even Tanglou is optimistic about, can't be bad.

Lin Yufeng thought for a moment and said, "President Gao, I can take on this project. However, I have one condition: the male lead must be Wu Yifan."

Lin Yufeng trusted Tang Lou's judgment; Wu Yifan was the most suitable actor for this role.

President Gao had already found out about Tanglou's personnel selection plan, and Lin Yufeng's idea also aligned with his own.

"Tanglou, oh Tanglou, this time you really did us kiwi fruit a favor."

"You must be feeling really bad, right? When 'The Golden Hairpin' airs and Wu Yifan becomes a breakout star, that's when you'll truly regret it and feel like you're kicking yourself."

"This time, you'll get what you deserve."

Mr. Gao was extremely pleased with himself. After getting Lin Yufeng's interest, he went to see Wu Yifan.

Wu Yifan has been in a good mood these past few days. Perhaps it's because his charm has increased again, as many internet celebrities have been actively trying to get close to him lately.
