Daddy Academy

Chapter 1288 Taking advantage of the situation (34)

Xiao Ming complimented Zhang Tan again, and the two talked about this year's film and television plan, which is also a serious matter to discuss today.

Xiao Ming had communicated with Zhang Tan on the phone before, but today they just met again for a detailed discussion.

So when faced with this problem, Zhang Tan was already prepared and said: "I have prepared two scripts, and I will send you an email later, you can take a look."

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Teacher Zhang is an expert in grasping the market. I will listen to you. If you say it is feasible, then we will go straight to the horse."

Although these words were compliments, Zhang Tan felt quite comfortable hearing them.

He is not a saint, so of course he will be happy, happy, and happy when he hears flattering words.

However, he still kept an eye out and only talked about two scripts.His plan was to hand over "Pounding Heartbeat" and "Modi" to Kuxun Video. As for "Love Letter", he wanted to wait and see. Anyway, Kuxun Video couldn't shoot the three films together.

The two chatted for more than an hour, Zhang Tan got up and left, intending to sit in Kucheng's office, but he hadn't seen Kucheng yet after returning to Pujiang.

Xiao Ming wanted to take him there in person, but Zhang Tan declined, so Xiao Ming asked his female secretary to take him there.

Kucheng's office is on the top floor and needs to take the elevator.The secretary led Zhang Tan towards the elevator, when Xie Ou came out next to him.

Xie Ou said to the female secretary: "I'll take Teacher Zhang up. I happen to have other things to do, so go and do it first."

The female secretary hesitated for a moment, but finally left.

The elevator door opened, Zhang Tan and Xie Ou walked in, Xie Ou pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator door slowly closed.

Xie Ou chatted with Zhang Tan for a few words, and when the elevator door was about to open, he said meaningfully: "Mr. Ku is in a bad mood these days. The company's profitability last year was very bad. He had a conflict with the executive vice president. There may be a replacement."

After speaking, the elevator door opened, Zhang Tan walked out, while Xie Ou stayed in the elevator.

Zhang Tan pondered for a while, understood something, and smiled at Xie Ou: "Thank you."

Xie Ou smiled, and the elevator door closed.

Zhang Tan understood Xie Ou's words, and also understood Xiao Ming's purpose of welcoming him with such a big show today.

It seems that Xiao Ming is aiming at the position of executive vice president, he is trying to create momentum for himself.

"It turns out that he was used by him today." Zhang Tan said, but then smiled, Xiao Ming's method is still very clever, let him know that he will not feel disgusted if he is used.

On the contrary, Zhang Tan felt that if Xiao Ming could take advantage of his position to rise to the top, why would he not do it.

In the future, he might need to rely on Xiao Ming.

Zhang Tan saw Kucheng in the office.Kucheng's complexion is not very good, his previously well-groomed hairstyle is a bit messy, it seems that just as Xie Ou said, he is in a bad mood.

Kuxun Video's profitability is not good. Zhang Tan knew this when he joined the company's board of directors before the Spring Festival. Last year, among all the business segments, the most profitable one was the entertainment division.

If the large entertainment business unit is eliminated, the company may lose money.

Kuxun Video's development is based on the video business, and the big entertainment business is just to expand the industrial chain, extending from the platform to content production.

The role of the big entertainment business department is to feed back the main business.

But now it's turned upside down, how can this satisfy Kucheng?

Kucheng trusted Zhang Tan very much, and told him all about the company's current problems.

It may be that he is so annoyed by these things these days that he urgently needs someone to talk to, and the people around the company are not a good choice, Zhang Tan is perfect for it!

Although Zhang Tan has equity in the company, he does not work in the company. He is related to Kuxun but not close, and there is no competitive relationship.

Zhang Tan listened patiently, being a listener.

After Kucheng finished talking about the company's plight, he suddenly said: "I want to spin off some unprofitable businesses, reduce expenses, and slim down the company."

When a company encounters difficulties, this is a routine practice.

Zhang Tan said: "It should be like this. The foundation of a company's survival is its profitability. Some businesses it does have neither hope nor profitability, so an early divestiture is the best solution."

Kucheng continued: "At present, the company mainly has three major businesses, one is the video business, the other is the big entertainment business, and the other is the short video business. Now it seems that the short video business must be divested."

Zhang Tan was a little surprised and asked, "Is the whole thing stripped off?"

Kucheng said: "Since we want to spin off, we should sell them all."

Zhang Tan hesitated for a moment, but said: "I personally think that the short video business has a good prospect and great potential."

Kucheng said: "I also know that the prospects are very good and the potential is great. In the future, the video business is bound to develop into short videos, but whether I can wait until that day is a question. Now it seems that I can't wait. Maybe we will go. Too early, and only by doing the right thing at the right time can we meet the trend. No matter if you leave early or late, you will not succeed."

Zhang Tan doesn't think so, he thinks that the short video business has always been a hot spot, but he hasn't found the key to open the hot spot.

Now that Kucheng has made a decision, Zhang Tan didn't say any more.

He was very interested in the short video business, so he asked a few more questions.

After Zhang Tan left, Ku Cheng was thoughtful.

Zhang Tan's interest in the short video business, of course he noticed, but he quickly ignored it. Interest is interested, and whether he will do it in the end is another matter. Even if he wants to do it, sell it. It doesn't matter if you give it to him, as long as the price is reasonable, he doesn't have any problem selling it to anyone.

In the afternoon, Xiao Ming called. On the phone, he told Zhang Tan that he had just read the two scripts of "Pounding Heartbeat" and "Modi", both of which were very good. He has no problem at all and is ready to prepare Project approval work.

At the same time, he asked Zhang Tan if he would direct the two films.

Even if Zhang Tan wanted to direct, he would at most direct one of them.

However, Zhang Tan has not yet decided whether to direct the film or not.

He didn't say anything dead, leaving some space.

After a movie hits big, many people will be impulsive and start their first movie while the iron is hot. But at this time, they tend to rush to the street because they can't see the market clearly.

In the evening, Wang Hao came, and it was Zhang Tan who asked him to come.

Lao Li knew him and opened the door to let him in.

Wang Hao said thank you, followed the noisy voices of the children, looked towards the brightly lit classroom, and then walked towards the studio next to him.

He thought that this might be a special hobby of the rich, and even opened a late-night school in this prime location to accept children from poor families, and the fees were so low that they couldn't make ends meet. What was the plan?

But he also understands this, isn't what Zhang Tan did similar to his movie "Childhood Looking at the South".

The rural teacher in the movie chooses to stay in his hometown to open a kindergarten for the left-behind children in the village. Zhang Tan is very similar to that rural teacher in some respects.
