Chapter 5 begins landing
"I said, in two years, I'll make you famous all over the country," Zeng Hao repeated. "But the condition is that you must follow my arrangements for these two years, practice what you're supposed to practice, learn what you're supposed to learn, and you can't slack off in any way."
"I called you here today to let you know that the company values you. Of course, we will also add corresponding new terms to the contract."
Zeng Hao looked at Xu Kunkun in front of him.
He didn't want this kid to become a huge star and then abandon the company and run away.
This could be a cash cow in the future!
Xu Kunkun's breathing quickened, and he clenched his fists. "President Zeng, are you...are you serious?"
"I never joke."
Xu Kunkun bit his lip, suddenly stood up, and bowed deeply to Zeng Hao. "President Zeng, I will definitely practice hard and do whatever you say!"
Zeng Hao waved his hand, "Don't rush to pledge your loyalty, I still have a few questions to ask you."
"You said it!"
"You participated in a talent show before and made it to the top 60 nationwide. Why didn't you continue?"
Xu Kunkun's expression was somewhat gloomy. "Because...because my mother doesn't agree. She thinks the entertainment industry is too chaotic and wants me to go back to my studies."
"Then why did you come out again?"
"Because I really love singing and dancing, and I don't want to give it up." Xu Kunkun's tone was very firm. "My mother eventually agreed and said that I could give it a try, and if it really didn't work out, I could go back to school."
Zeng Hao nodded; they all matched.
The boy in front of me has a completely similar early life to that of the top star in my past life.
He decided to double-check one last thing.
Do you play basketball?
Xu Kunkun was taken aback for a moment, "I know a little, but I'm not very good at it."
Do you like it?
"It's alright, sometimes I play with friends."
"Alright, go back to training." Zeng Hao waved his hand. "Remember what I said today, train hard, and now go find HR to sign the contract."
Xu Kunkun bowed again, "Thank you for your guidance, President Zeng!"
For someone as insignificant as him, it's incredibly rare to be given such attention. He's made up his mind to seize this opportunity the company has given him.
The office returned to quiet.
Zeng Hao leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.
Yang Shanshan got it sorted out, Xu Kunkun confirmed it, and the next step is to reassure the production team and then finish writing the script for "Go Princess Go" as soon as possible.
Time is of the essence; all preparations must be completed before the loan is disbursed.
He turned on his computer and his fingers flew across the keyboard.
On the screen, the script for "Go Princess Go" is appearing line by line.
The proposal already had a framework; this revision is to add more details to make it more feasible to implement.
Zeng Hao would sit in his office for three hours at a time.
On the computer screen, the script for "Go Princess Go" is gradually taking shape.
In the first episode, modern playboy Zhang Peng is transported to ancient times after an accident. When he wakes up, he finds himself transformed into Crown Princess Zhang Pengpeng. Faced with his stunning beauty in the bronze mirror and the Crown Prince beneath him, he goes completely insane.
Zeng Hao's fingers flew across the keyboard, and the scenes he had witnessed in his past life appeared vividly in his mind like a movie.
He had to write down all the key plot points before his memory faded.
To grab attention from the start, the first three episodes must be packed with laughs to keep viewers hooked.
In the second episode, in order to survive in the harem, Zhang Pengpeng begins to study how to please the crown prince, which results in a series of hilarious situations.
In the third episode, the Crown Princess begins to get involved in palace intrigue, facing the Empress's刁难 (difficulties/challenges) and the scheming of other concubines.
Zeng Hao was writing until 8 p.m. when Sister Liu knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Zeng, everything's been taken care of with Xu Kunkun. It's so late, aren't you going home yet?"
"You go first, I'll write for a little longer." Zeng Hao said without looking up.
Looking at the dense text on the computer screen, Sister Liu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Zeng, would you like me to order some takeout for you?"
"Okay, order whatever you like."
Sister Liu nodded and tiptoed out of the office.
She stood outside the door, looking through the glass at Zeng Hao, who was engrossed in writing inside, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
This young boss is completely different from before.
In the past, Zeng Hao was more like Lao Sun's follower, and Lao Sun basically made the decisions on all matters, big and small, in the company.
But now, his decisiveness and execution have impressed even Sister Liu.
For the next three days, Zeng Hao almost locked himself in his office.
I arrive at the company at eight o'clock every morning and don't leave until eleven o'clock at night. I just order takeout for lunch.
Several times when Sister Liu came in to deliver documents, she saw Zeng Hao writing furiously in front of the computer.
By the morning of the fourth day, Zeng Hao had finally finished writing the detailed scripts for the first ten episodes and the episode outlines for the remaining twenty episodes.
We can finally land.
He leaned back in his chair, rubbed his sore eyes, looked at the nearly 80,000-word document on his computer, and let out a long sigh.
The script framework has been established; all that remains is to make minor adjustments based on the actual situation during filming.
He saved the document, printed a copy, and then picked up the phone.
"Sister Liu, call Lao Li from the photography team over. I need to talk to him alone."
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin and wearing work clothes, walked into the office.
Li Jianguo, the head of the company's photography team, is a veteran photographer with 20 years of experience. He was the photographer for last year's "The Lion's Reflection of a Lazy Cat".
"Did Mr. Zeng want to see me?" Old Li sat down in the chair, looking somewhat reserved.
Zeng Hao handed over a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. Old Li was stunned for a moment, then took the cigarettes, took one out, and lit it.
"Old Li, are you getting used to working at the company?" Zeng Hao asked directly.
"It's alright." Old Li exhaled a puff of smoke, his tone somewhat hesitant.
Zeng Hao looked at him. "I heard you've taken on a job recently?"
Old Li's hand trembled slightly, and the cigarette ash fell to the ground.
He looked up, somewhat embarrassed, "Mr. Zeng, I..."
"No need to explain, I understand." Zeng Hao waved his hand. "The company only produced one film last year, and your photography team was idle for more than half a year. It's normal for you to go out and take on jobs to support your families."
Old Li breathed a sigh of relief, but was still somewhat uneasy. "Mr. Zeng, why did you call me here...?"
"I want to ask you, if the company were to start a new project immediately, with a three-month filming period, could you turn down other outside jobs and dedicate yourself entirely to the production team?"
Old Li was stunned.
He asked instinctively, "What project?"
Zeng Hao pushed the script on the table over, "Web series, 'Go Princess Go,' a time-travel historical comedy, thirty episodes, expected to be filmed in three months. Of course, the shorter the better."
Old Li took the script, flipped through a few pages, and his brows furrowed more and more.
"Mr. Zeng, this..." He looked up, "Did you write this script?"
"right."
"But this..." Old Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "This story is a bit... too absurd, isn't it? A man transmigrates and becomes the Crown Princess, who would want to read that?"
