Chapter 788: Fighting more or less is a matter of fate

"You asked me to come here just to chat, without even giving me anything to eat or drink."

Luo Yingxi was called by Chen Chen to a high-end restaurant with nice decoration, but there was only free ice water provided at the table. He immediately complained.

The relationship between the two is already very good, and this complaint is also proof of their close relationship.

"You really can't spend money here today. If you come again another day, I will let you order whatever you want." Chen Chen took the lead and took a sip of the water in front of him. "Look, even I have to drink plain water."

"If you just drink plain water, I have nothing to say." Luo Yingxi stopped complaining and took a sip like Chen Chen.

"So what is it that you called me here for?"

Putting down the cup, Luo Yexi got down to business.

"There is a vacancy in the program schedule of the C headquarters, and we need you to produce another program." Chen Chen did not hide it, "You know about "Let's Farm" in China, I want you to do one here as well."

"I have learned about that program, so I can tell you clearly that it cannot be made in South Korea." Luo Yingxi gestured back and forth on the table with his hands to analyze the program. "The copyright of the program is yours, so you don't have to worry about copyright issues. However, due to the limitations of South Korea's local geographical conditions, the cost of making the original variety show will inevitably be huge, so high that no matter how well we do it, we can't recover the cost."

"So it's impossible to make exactly the same program." Luo Yexi made a straightforward judgment.

"Yeah, I think so too." Chen Chen nodded, "But if we narrow the scope of the land, we can make a variety show similar to Three Meals a Day."

"Why not just call it 'Three Meals a Day Farming'?" Luo Yexi joked, "The content seems to have just shifted the focus to farming, and it's far from being a new show."

"That's fine, anything is fine, because all I want is a show that's interesting enough to fill the blank spot on C's main variety show schedule." Chen Chen told Luo Yingxi the truth, "PD Zheng Zhemin's "Mi Qiuli" is about to start production, but PD Kang Niang's love variety show still needs a long time to prepare. I want you to fill the gap in between."

"Is it because my show came out very quickly?" Luo Yexi adjusted his glasses.

"Yes." Chen Chen laughed, "Aren't you Luo Yingxi the magical PD who can start the official recording a week after the meeting today?"

Luo Yingxi couldn't help but laugh, but soon frowned again: "Even if it can be done, the guests must have time."

"You can rest assured about this. C headquarters also has a little magical ability, which is to allow some artists to adjust their schedules very quickly." Chen Chen said seriously: "The two of us are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

"Okay, then there's only one thing left to do." Luo Yingxi's expression became extremely respectful, and his tone was full of sincerity, "Please give me funds, please sponsor me."

"..."

No matter who you are, people always have the best attitude when asking for money.

"Write a written document and submit it, and someone will naturally help you pass the review." Chen Chen used a formula.

"I understand." Luo Yingxi nodded heavily. "No one can question your generosity, so can you give me a little more this time?"

"I've told you to write the written materials and just apply." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. "When the time comes, you fill in the beginning and I'll close my eyes and press zero. It all depends on fate. Isn't that good?"

Although Luo Yingxi didn't understand the meaning of "it's fate whether you get more or less money", he felt Chen Chen's generosity and felt completely relaxed. No matter what, a good boss is one who is willing to pay.

"It's really good." Luo Yingxi couldn't help but shook his head, "I'm stingy. It should be hard to imagine that C headquarters is without money now. After all, it just received such a large investment."

Chen Chen did not take up this topic. It was not easy to talk about the internal cash flow of the company.

"How far do you think PD Luo is from achieving your ideal?" Chen Chen talked to Luo Yingxi about his ideal. He remembered that PD Luo wanted to do variety shows as he pleased. "With the dual support of TVN and C headquarters, the progress should be much faster, right?"

"On the contrary, it feels like it's getting further and further away from me." Luo Yexi gave a completely opposite answer.

"Why?" Chen Chen was a little surprised. "Have sufficient funds and extensive personal connections become a burden?"

"That's definitely not the case, but you provide me with resources in exchange for my time, and I have less and less time left for myself." Luo Yingxi sighed, "If I don't have my own time, doing my own things is completely empty talk."

"But I have changed my mind." Luo Yingxi quickly regained his relaxed demeanor, "Now I will work hard to make money for a few years, and then I will start when I have savings. By then, I will have money and free time, and I will not be too old to make a good program. I can take a long time to do what I want to do."

"If it succeeds, then everyone will be happy. If it doesn't succeed." Luo Yingxi looked at Chen Chen with a smile, "I hope President Chen can still give me a meal by then."

"With your ability as PD Luo, you'll be welcomed wherever you go. It's meaningless to say such things." A memory suddenly emerged in Chen Chen's mind. "But if you are determined to make money, I have a good idea."

"What do you mean? Please give me some advice." Luo Yexi leaned forward anxiously, but immediately thought of something and shrank back. "If I want to develop in the Chinese market, forget it. I know there are abundant resources and the pay is scary high there, but my variety show model may not work there, and I don't have time to slowly explore such a large market."

"No." Chen Chen waved his hand, "It's a method that doesn't require making too many changes."

"This trick is very simple. Just pack up your own team and rent it out to those in need." Chen Chen talked about the content of "15-night business trip". "Company team building, idol group variety show, guest appearance in large-scale outdoor variety shows, these are all business opportunities."

"Who says that variety show production teams can't perform for money?" Chen Chen shrugged slightly, "Where there is demand, there is a market. If you seize the opportunity, you can make money."

"..."

Luo Yingxi was a little speechless.

The main thing is that he feels very strange now, as if he has been touched and has a sense of transparency, and also has an uncomfortable feeling as if ants are crawling on his body.

He felt that he was 100% capable of coming up with this idea, but now that someone else had told him the story, he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't describe it. He wanted to slap himself in the face.

"Well, I'll go back and think about it." Luo Yingxi broke out of silence and explained to Chen Chen seriously, "I'll contact you when I have an idea."

"You don't have to explain to me. This is entirely your personal matter." Chen Chen smiled and said sincerely, "And if PD Luo is determined to do that, C Headquarters must be the company that benefits the most, right?"
