Chapter 49
Li Han: I'm biting you, Li Xue!
Upon hearing about Li Han's understanding of the rating system, Sun Zhonghuai raised a hand and gently stroked his chin with his fingers.
Li Han's statement wasn't very long; he simply laid out the general framework, without going into details about specific proportions or funding amounts.
People won't listen to him no matter what he says; Tencent has its own plans.
"That's right, Xiao Han, I've been considering what you've said..." Sun Zhonghuai stroked his chin and nodded. He was genuinely surprised by what Li Han had just said. His surprise wasn't about the content of Li Han's words, but rather that they coincided with his own thoughts.
The two of them had the same idea.
Xu Yiruo couldn't help but glance at Li Han, surprised that this kid knew quite a lot.
"Well then, let's discuss the marketing of your show, or do you have any ideas that require our cooperation?" Sun Zhonghuai said with a smile, looking at Li Han.
Upon hearing this, Li Han instantly understood that the show was a sure thing!
"Heh." Li Han chuckled.
"It's like this, Mr. Sun, this is my marketing plan..." Li Han then explained the CP (couple pairing) arrangements for Tian Xiwei.
Sun Zhonghuai was even more surprised when he heard this. You're a new actor and director, why are you playing a same-sex couple?
He couldn't help but take another look at Li Han. Director, actor, screenwriter, editor, songwriter... and now he's a marketer too. This guy is not only talented, but also very daring.
What a coincidence! What Tencent Video is lacking right now is bold people! How can we possibly take on iQiyi on the left and beat up Mango TV and Youku on the right without being bold?
"Okay... I have one last question." Sun Zhonghuai licked his lips and looked at Li Han with bright eyes.
"There are so many online platforms, and many people contact multiple platforms simultaneously, sometimes even several, to compete for the rights to a single drama. But Director Li, you didn't contact iQiyi or Youku. Why is that?"
"I think that in the long-form video field, Tencent Video will be the one to take the lead in the future. Although iQiyi and Youku are strong now, I am not optimistic about their future." Li Han shook his head.
"Heh, can I take this as Director Li betting on Tencent?" Sun Zhonghuai couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, looking at Li Han as he spoke.
"Hmm... how can it not count?" Li Han smiled slightly, shrugged, and smiled with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.
"Sure, Director Li, I can assure you that we can provide you with the best promotional resources for this drama right now," Sun Zhonghuai said immediately, standing up and extending his hand.
He also plans to bet on Li Han and his drama.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Sun." Li Han was also very happy to see this, and stood up to extend his hand.
"Just call me Brother Sun," Sun Zhonghuai said with a smile, appearing like a kind and honest elder.
"Okay, Brother Sun." Li Han smiled.
It was a pleasure working with you...
After discussing the main points, Li Han chatted with Sun Zhonghuai about some other things before coming down with Xu Yiruo.
"I couldn't tell," Xu Yiruo said, turning to look at Li Han with a smile.
"You're a college student, yet you act all high and mighty in front of that boss."
"Hey Sister Xu, even if you lose, you can't lose face." Li Han smiled and stretched.
"Let's go find my sister and have a meal together."
"Let's go." Xu Yiruo nodded.
Soon, Li Han, Xu Yiruo, and Li Yitong found a place to eat. Before the food was served, Xu Yiruo told Li Yitong about the conversation between Li Han and Sun Zhonghuai, and also praised Li Han.
Li Yitong looked at Li Han with some surprise.
Li Han remained silent, reaching for the free twisted dough sticks and snacks in front of him, seemingly indifferent to the situation.
"Ouch, sis!" Li Han suddenly couldn't help but grit his teeth. It turned out that Li Yitong had reached out and pinched Li Han's face.
"Let me see, are you still my little brother? When did you become so capable that you weren't even intimidated in front of the president of Tencent?" Li Yitong smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Ouch, ouch! I'm going to bite you, Li Xue!" Li Han pretended to be in great pain and opened his mouth to bite Li Yitong's hand.
Seeing this, Li Yitong raised an eyebrow, turned her fair hand behind her back, her slender fingers twirling in a flourish, then turned back and lightly slapped Li Han's face with a smooth, fluid combo.
"Pia~" It was a soft sound, and although Li Yitong's strength wasn't heavy, it was extremely insulting.
"..." Li Han turned his head slightly, facing Li Yitong with his face turned to the side, expressionless, and his left cheek was slightly red.
"Heh." Xu Yiruo couldn't help but smile as she looked at the two siblings.
Li Han was just exchanging words with Sun Zhonghuai when he got slapped by Li Yitong.
Li Han pursed his lips, snorted at Li Yitong, and continued eating the free snacks.
Li Yitong looked at Li Han with some amusement, then turned to look at Xu Yiruo.
"Sister Xu, please take a look at Xiaohan and Xiwei's assistants and agents to see if there are any suitable ones."
"Yes, I understand." Xu Yiruo nodded with a smile.
"Sister Xu, you don't need to introduce too many assistants to me and Xiwei. Just a few will do, the most important thing is that they are of suitable character," Li Han said, looking up as he heard this.
"Yes, don't worry." Xu Yiruo nodded.
Li Yitong has been staying in Beijing these past few days because she needs to read the script. Soon she will be going to Hengdian to film the drama "Chaoge".
After visiting Tencent Video's headquarters, Li Han had two things to take care of: first, Meng Ziyi (Meng Jie), and second, his plan to move from Shanghai with Xiao Tian.
However, the two are about to make their official debut, so living together, let alone in the same building, would probably be quite troublesome.
At home, Meng Ziyi was chatting with Zhou Ye. The two had gotten along quite well these past two days. Most importantly, Meng Ziyi had found a sense of sisterly affection in Zhou Ye.
Furthermore, Zhou Ye also likes to call her "sister." She's so beautiful and has such a lovely smile. Who wouldn't want such a cute and pretty younger sister?
"Xiaoye, if you have time today, let's go shopping and film some videos for Douyin," Meng Ziyi said in a voice message.
"Okay, sis," Zhou Ye replied immediately.
"You're at school, right? I'll come find you there." Meng Ziyi said, slowly getting up from the sofa. Her bare, white feet were delicate and round, small and exquisite, and could be easily touched in one hand.
After arriving at school, Meng Ziyi received a message from Li Han.
Are you home? Didn't you say you were going to film a video? I'll come find you.
"I'm not home, I'm at school. Come to school." Meng Ziyi replied directly to Li Han.
