I was rebellious by nature, but I ended up becoming a top influencer.

"I'm not that kind of person!"

Qi Tianyi's words were righteous and stern.

"You two just came together, don't try to fool me!"

Sun Jing gave me a look that suggested I call her "Sun Holmes Jing," which made Qi Tian look disgusted: "Haven't Director Wang been picking me up and dropping me off these past few days? Hurry up and get busy, we probably have a meeting soon."

Sun Holmes Jing returned to her workstation, not quite satisfied, and soon received a message: "Call a company-wide meeting."

Sun Jing scoffed, "Filming's all over, and they're still treating me like a little assistant. Looks like my abilities can't be hidden!"

……

This morning's meeting mainly focused on coordinating various aspects of the short drama's online release.

Submitting the film for approval, submitting the information flow GG production approval, allocating funds, discussing the first cut... all these tasks were scheduled.

The entire company, everyone was mobilized.

Watching Wang Jingjing speak so confidently at the meeting, Guan Lu, sitting in the audience, was seething with anger, but dared not say anything, and could only keep replying "yes, yes, yes, okay, okay."

Li Tianming seemed like a mascot, standing silently to the side.

Once the work arrangements were mostly complete, Guan Lu finally realized, "Why doesn't Qi Tian have any work scheduled? Isn't he the male lead? Isn't he the lead writer?"

Without looking up, Wang Jingjing said, "Qi Tian has more important things to do."

Everyone looked up in confusion, only to see Wang Jingjing tap a few times on the tablet, and the projector immediately played a scene of Qi Tian singing "Unavoidable Love" in a bar.

"This is the theme song that Qi Tian composed for this short drama, and it will be released simultaneously with 'Let's Get Married.' Qi Tian's work for the next month is to promote this song by all means. Promoting the song is promoting the drama, and promoting the drama is also promoting the song."

Guan Lu stared in disbelief at Qi Tian singing.

Why is this guy causing trouble again?

Can't you just stick to being a screenwriter?

The scriptwriting team was also stunned.

What's going on?

Aren't we all screenwriters? How come you can also write and sing songs?

People in other departments didn't have so many thoughts, and they all cheered.

"I know this song. My girlfriend sang it at home a few days ago, but I didn't pay attention at the time. I didn't expect it to be sung by Qi Tian."

"Qi Tian has this amazing skill? Are you preparing for your official debut?"

"You can sing and act, Qi Tian, ​​you'd better give me your autograph first!"

……

In response to the praise from the crowd, Qi Tian, ​​who was sitting in the corner, stood up and said with a smile, "I accept autograph business. If anyone pays you for my autograph in the future, we'll split the profits 30/70."

Everyone immediately laughed.

This guy always pulls these kinds of tricks.

Guan Lu immediately stood up: "Why does a short drama need a theme song? A short drama episode is only a few minutes long. The theme song hasn't even finished before the main episode ends! Director Wang, I think this decision is problematic."

The once lively conference room suddenly fell silent.

People from other departments remained indifferent, sitting on the sidelines waiting to watch the show.

The screenwriters in the scriptwriting department all buried their heads, trying to avoid the big battle, but found there was nowhere to hide, because they were the first to be hit.

"Everyone is welcome to share their opinions. After all, everyone invested money in this short drama, so they can be considered small shareholders. Small shareholders should also have a voice. Investors' money shouldn't be used so recklessly, right?"

Guan Lu's single sentence dragged everyone present into the fray.

The employees in the finance, legal, and marketing departments, who were originally just waiting to watch the show, realized that this matter was not just a power struggle, but also involved everyone's interests.

"I also feel that spending money to buy a theme song is a bit of a waste. The investment in short dramas is already limited, and more money should be spent on promotion."

A screenwriter wearing black-rimmed glasses spoke first. He was the screenwriter closest to Guan Lu, named Li Lei, who was thirty-two years old and could be considered a veteran in the screenwriting department.

Wang Jingjing nodded, not refuting him, but looking at the others: "Since Supervisor Guan brought it up, those who disagree can offer their opinions. Does anyone else want to share their thoughts?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what Wang Jingjing meant.

Everyone looked at Li Tianming and found that he was still like Maitreya Buddha, not expressing any opinion. Then they looked at Guan Lu and saw that Guan Lu kept winking at everyone.

Guan Lu and Li Tianming were in the same faction. Seeing Guan Lu's behavior, everyone mistakenly thought it was Li Tianming's instruction, and many people began to speak freely.

"I think this song is quite nice, but is it a bit of a waste to use it as the theme song for a short drama? Short dramas are for quick money; once you've made your money, it's over, and then you start the next one. I don't think it's necessary."

"With the investment costs already set in place, I don't think it makes much sense to just buy a song. It would be better to put more money into investing in music."

"Qi Tian, ​​what everyone is saying isn't that you sing badly. You're a screenwriter, so you should know better than us that theme songs are really a waste of time for short dramas. Such a good song should be given to another serious drama for the group company."

……

As more and more opinions arose, Wang Jingjing remained silent. Once everyone had finished speaking, she asked again, "Does anyone else have any objections?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately understood the implication.

Oh no, I got carried away with my words.

I was unexpectedly provoked by Guan Lu's words.

As expected, seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Jingjing glanced at Guan Lu with her beautiful eyes: "Manager Guan, I remember, you didn't invest a single penny in this drama, right?"

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Even the screenwriters in the scriptwriting department looked at Guan Lu in surprise.

What's going on?

Manager Guan, are you really going to be so stubborn?

Not investing a single penny?

Even just to make a show of it, investing ten or twenty thousand would be fine!

Moreover, as the head of the screenwriting department, what do you mean by not investing a single penny?

Is this a clear-cut confrontation? Is it a complete break with Director Wang?

Li Lei, who spoke first, immediately realized that something was wrong.

Guan Lu didn't invest any money? Did President Li not invest either?

Everyone looked at Li Tianming and saw that he still didn't say anything, which made them feel a chill in their hearts.

Could it be that Mr. Li didn't invest any money either?

Guan Lu was publicly told he hadn't invested any money, and he was quite straightforward: "I wasn't very optimistic about this short drama, so I didn't invest. And now that you're using investors' money to buy the theme song for the short drama, I'm even less optimistic about it."

Wang Jingjing nodded and said, "Since you didn't invest any money, there's no need for you to attend this project meeting. Please leave!"

The entire conference room fell silent immediately.

The blast of cold air from the 3P air conditioner dissipated the heat in the conference room, and also chilled everyone's hearts.

Guan Lu's face turned as red as a pig's liver, and his voice suddenly rose to the level of the roof.

"Wang Jingjing, what do you mean? Why can't I attend this meeting?!"

Wang Jingjing's innocent and pretty face suddenly turned extremely aggressive.

"I'm telling you, you haven't invested a single penny, so you're not qualified to sit here and attend this meeting. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
