Chapter 147: It's time to get to the capital
Although Zhao Qiong usually looks like a fool and seems to be a little unprofessional, as a businessman, he is qualified. After hearing Chen Ping say that he would sign the split, he stood up with a smile, picked up his phone and made a phone call to go out, and he himself strolled out of the room.
The mustache took the initiative to act as his waiter, poured tea for Chen Ping, chatted with Chen Ping, talked about scripts, novels, and even some little-known interesting things in the entertainment park. Another screenwriter also interjected from time to time, and the atmosphere of several people chatting was very relaxed. The legal staff sitting on the side looked a little dull, holding her mobile phone from time to time to look at something, and the actress, playing with her mobile phone, took a selfie of herself from time to time.
Chen Ping actually secretly watched her several times, a little face-wrenching, there was no resemblance to those famous actors in the previous life, thinking that this woman had never become popular, and could only play some unimportant roles.
After about ten minutes, Zhao Qiong returned to the room again, her face a little excited.
"I told the boss about the adaptation just now, and the boss very much agrees with your choice to sign the share, and also asked me to invite you to the capital, and the company will hold a press conference for "Kongtong" to increase the popularity and hype of "Kongtong"."
In front of Zhao Qiong's employees, Chen Ping naturally wouldn't make Zhao Qiong ugly, but he still slandered in his heart, your sister, I'm afraid it's to increase the news exposure for your company, right?
After Zhao Qiong sent the people in the room away, Chen Ping said with a smile: "You can participate in the press conference, but I don't like to be noisy, so I will leave after attending the press conference." The publisher is still waiting for me to sign and sell the book. It's not good to delay it too long. β
Zhao Qiong smiled mysteriously and said, "What if you want to introduce other people to you?" β
Others?
Chen Ping suddenly remembered a human life in his mind. His eyes lit up and he sat up straight. "Have you contacted him?" β
"Well, when the press conference is ready, I will take you to meet him when the time comes, and you will talk to him in person when the time comes." After Zhao Qiong said it, he smiled again: "Actually, the press conference was requested by me." β
Seeing the puzzled expression on Chen Ping's face, Zhao Qiong explained: "Didn't you say that Shanda was going to suppress you with the game adaptation?" I just want to use the press conference to raise your visibility, anyway, it's our company's business, and it has nothing to do with them, so what else can they do? What do you think? Dude is good enough, right? β
Chen Ping nodded gratefully. smiled: "It's just a rumor now, I'm not sure yet." In case Shanda's guy in charge of the game's adaptation sees the press conference, do you think he will change his mind? β
β¦β¦
Zhao Qiong stayed in S City for a day, then left, and told Chen Ping to let him fly to the capital in two days.
Chen Ping, who interrupted his travel and came back to talk about the game adaptation, did not expect such a dramatic turn to occur, the game adaptation was temporarily stranded, but the film and television adaptation went so smoothly, beyond people's imagination. It seems that tourism jihua will not be realized in the short term. told Huang Qian about going to the capital, Huang Qian was also happy for Chen Ping, originally she was just joking, but she didn't expect Chen Ping to really do it. I admired Chen Ping's vision even more. When he firmly told himself that he would definitely get a film and television adaptation contract, he thought he was showing confidence for the sake of face.
Due to the lack of manuscripts, Chen Ping did not go elsewhere in the past two days. Hold back at home and code words, and wait for the number of manuscripts to come up again. The two then set off for the capital.
To be precise, this is Chen Ping's first time on a plane. In his previous life, he did not have the conditions to enjoy this kind of luxury transportation, and in this life, the financial resources have been reached, but he has never had the opportunity.
It only took a little more than two hours to get from S city to the capital, and before getting on the plane, Chen Ping had already called Zhao Qiong and told him the flight number, and Zhao Qiong arranged a pick-up staff in the capital.
As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Ping couldn't help but shiver, Nima's, forgetting that the temperature in the capital in December was more than ten degrees lower than that of S City. At this time, it was close to freezing, and Chen Ping and Huang Qian were just wearing thin autumn clothes, the two smiled bitterly, and hurriedly walked out of the airport, just hoping to find the pick-up staff sent by Zhao Qiong as soon as possible.
Although it is a cold December, it does not affect the passenger flow of the capital airport at all, many passengers waiting for take-off or passengers who have just gotten off the plane always look at Chen Ping with strange eyes when passing by Chen Ping and Huang Qian's side, as for Huang Qian, there are also a few young men who take a few more looks.
"Your sister, for Mao, I don't look at such a flowery little girl as a big man, it's too Nima sexist." Although there is also heating at the airport, Chen Ping still shuddered.
Huang Qian laughed softly: "Don't you know that many girls wear very little in winter?" I guess they helped me think of me as the kind of girl who didn't care about warmth and coldness for the sake of image. Besides, if you wear a thin coat in the winter, others will definitely think that you are not in your right mind. β
Coming out of the passage, Chen Ping saw a middle-aged man in a gray and black suit holding a sign of 'Pick up Chen Ping', walked over quickly, and told him that he was Chen Ping, but the man still didn't believe it, and after looking at Chen Ping, he took out his mobile phone and found out the picture Zhao Qiong gave him to compare, only to find that it was really Chen Ping.
Hurriedly opened the car door for Chen Ping, and let Chen Ping and Huang Qian sit in the back row, the man got into the car, but muttered in a low voice: It doesn't look stupid in the photo, why do you wear so little in winter, it's not cold?
Chen Ping heard it, but he could only pretend not to hear it, Huang Qian also covered her mouth and snickered after hearing it, and after being secretly pinched by Chen Ping, she couldn't hold back her smile and turned her head to look out the window.
Coming down from the airport expressway, the cars slowly became more numerous, and Chen Ping's car also slowed down, and the driver in front of him explained: "This is the case in the capital, there are more private cars, and the traffic jam begins." β
Chen Ping was a little unconvinced, and said: "The same is true of S City. β
The sky gradually darkened, which made Chen Ping feel shocked, it was not yet noon, why was it so dark.
The driver looked at Chen Ping's puzzled face, and immediately smiled: "That's the way it is in the north, it will start snowing in December." "This time. Without waiting for Chen Ping to speak, the driver asked again: "Is this the case in S City?" β
Chen Ping looked at the driver speechlessly. This Nima's, isn't my brother just unconvinced? As for running me like this?
"The temperature in S City is kept at about ten degrees, warm as spring, not as cold as here."
The driver smiled slightly, did not answer, the speed became slower, and after a while, the sky really began to flutter snowflakes, at first I thought it was like catkins. Almost invisible. Slowly, getting bigger and bigger, like goose feathers.
Huang Qian has lived in the south since she was a child, and it is rare to have the opportunity to see such a large snowflake, looking at the snowflakes outside the window with excitement in her eyes, and pulling Chen Ping to watch it excitedly from time to time.
The weather was bad, and there were too many cars on the road, so the car slowly stopped. In a matter of minutes, the cars parked side by side outside the car turned white.
The heating was turned on in the car, and he didn't feel the cold at all, and slowly Chen Ping fell asleep.
When he was woken up by Huang Qian. I have come to the downstairs of the hotel, and when I look up, it is actually the Capital Hotel. secretly praised Zhao Qiong, this kid will come to trouble. I actually arranged such a high-end hotel for myself, and I just opened the car door. A gust of cold wind swept by, and Chen Ping suddenly shivered. Then he walked briskly towards the hotel.
After the driver helped get the room card, he told Chen Ping that Zhao Qiong had something to do this afternoon and couldn't come for the time being, so let Chen Ping rest in the hotel now, and Zhao Qiong would come to pick him up tomorrow morning.
After entering the room, Chen Ping called Zhao Qiong, who was busy contacting the major media in the capital at this time, and hung up the phone after chatting with Chen Ping in a hurry. In desperation, Chen Ping had no choice but to call the waiter at the hotel, and when the waiter came up, Chen Ping took out a wad of money and asked the waiter to help buy two sets of warm clothes.
This is the first time the two of them have come to Beijing, so they can't stay in the hotel for an afternoon, right?
Half an hour later, the waiter sent two sets of thermal underwear and two down jackets, and after changing clothes, Chen Ping took Huang Qian out.
Knowing that Zhao Qiong would not come over in the afternoon, Chen Ping planned to take Huang Qian around the capital, not to mention what to buy, just the few famous delicacies in the capital were worth the two of them to brave the cold to travel.
Sit in a taxi and ask the driver about the capital's culinary delights. The driver is an authentic capitalite, a mouthful of Beijing films is very pleasant, coupled with the natural enthusiasm of the capital, the driver keeps chatting with Chen Ping, and it is also to introduce Chen Ping's unmissable attractions and delicious food in the capital.
After chatting with the driver for a long time, Chen Ping discussed with the driver, chartered him an afternoon, and asked him to take a general tour of the ancient city of the capital, and look for those time-honored delicacies by the way.
The driver is also a cheerful person, seeing that Chen Ping is willing to pay, he readily agreed.
The capital in 05 was far from being as big as in the previous life, and many places had not yet been developed, and under the leadership of the native capital, it only took more than three hours to visit several important attractions in the capital city. Of course, when passing by those time-honored restaurants, Chen Ping took the initiative to invite the driver to taste it together.
Chen Ping's generosity made the driver very appreciative, Zuihou took the initiative to reduce part of the charter fare when Chen Ping sent him back to the hotel, and took the initiative to leave a phone call for Chen Ping, saying that he could call him when he came to the capital in the future, and he also gave Chen Ping a tour guide.
After shopping for an afternoon and eating for an afternoon, although they all tasted the taste slightly, Chen Ping and Huang Qian ate a lot of things along the way, but in the evening, the two of them did not have the slightest sense of hunger.
Of course, the main task of coming to the capital this time is to attend the press conference and sign a contract at the press conference, but Chen Ping has another important purpose, yes, that is, to meet the boss of Perfect Time and Space.
Since he wanted to cooperate with the other party, Chen Ping naturally had to do his homework in advance, use the hotel's computer to log in to the official website of Perfect Time and Space, and learn about the latest developments of their company before turning off the lights and going to bed.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Zhao Qiong first called Chen Ping and told him to start the press conference on time at ten o'clock, reserve half an hour for Chen Ping to eat, and he would come to pick up Chen Ping at nine o'clock.
After washing, Chen Ping ordered two breakfasts in the hotel, quickly solved the breakfast, and could only stay in the room honestly, waiting for Zhao Qiong to arrive.
At 8:40, Zhao Qiong called and asked Chen Ping to go downstairs.
It was still the driver who picked up the airport yesterday who drove, and Zhao Qiong sat in the co-pilot and explained today's activities to Chen Ping.
"The media that came today are all some relatively powerful companies, and there are also reporters from several portals. Start on time at ten o'clock,Then there will be a host to host the event according to the jihua process,There is basically no need for you to do anything in front,Wait until the contract is signed,Will arrange for you to be interviewed by reporters for half an hour,They should ask questions related to "Kongtong",Maybe someone will ask you about your experience of network creation,Just tell them calmly,Of course,The appropriate sense of mystery will make you more eye-catchingγ β
Chen Ping nodded, secretly noting what Zhao Qiong said, and at the same time guessing in his heart what those reporters would ask and how he should answer. The time for thinking passed quickly, and at half past nine, the car stopped under a building.
"Today's press conference is in our company's large conference room."
Zhao Qiong took Chen Ping to Huayi Brothers Media Group, their company owns a three-story office building, and it is also the most financially powerful company in this building.
The follower Zhao Qiong came to a small office and learned that this was Zhao Qiong's usual office. Looking at this office, which is more than ten square meters and has a simple set up inside, Chen Ping was a little dazed and couldn't help asking, "What work are you responsible for in the company?" Why don't you even have a computer? It won't be a day to pick up girls in the company, right? β
Zhao Qiong didn't care, and said with a smile: "This is my family's company, besides, with my brother's career freak, I don't need to worry about it at all." Therefore, I am responsible for recruiting people in the company, recruiting some irrelevant people, which does not affect the operation of the company, and I still have a little bit of power in my hands, and more importantly, I can recruit people according to my preferences, for example, long legs? Big breasts? Hey, you know. β
Chen Ping looked at Zhao Qiong dumbfounded, although he had such a guess in his heart, but after hearing Zhao Qiong say it in person, his feelings were completely different, envy, jealousy, hatred, and hatred.
Recruit girl paper, or according to your preference?
Brother still wants to recruit a few uniforms......
"Aren't you a media company? Why didn't you see the actors? Chen Ping was puzzled again, and when he came, he also looked at the staff in the company, and none of the actors he knew found it.
Zhao Qiong glanced at Chen Ping with contempt, and then explained: "Your sister, the media company wants to keep the actors in the company to work." Don't they want to film? Don't take ads? Let them work in the company every day, who do I expect to make money? β
Chen Ping was stunned, yes.
At 9:50, Zhao Qiong got up, and Chen Ping followed closely behind and walked into the scene of the press conference. (To be continued......)
