Chapter 1625: Chapter 1626: They Were Secretly Suppressed
Rong Yan sat up straight, watching her, waiting for her to continue.
Estelle, "Do you remember the proposals Tai Chuan and Ai Mei submitted to us before?"
Rong Yan thought for a moment, nodded, "I remember, whatâs up."
"Both companies are quite strong in the industry. After reviewing their proposals, I contacted their representatives."
"Hmm, and then?"
Estelle glanced at her and calmly replied, "Then both said they couldnât cooperate, each for different reasons."
But the excuses were similar.
Estelle propped up her elbows and continued, "Apart from this, someone from Noon Sun Media also approached us today about the IPs we hold, saying they wanted to collaborate with us to develop some of our IPs. You know Noon Sun Media has produced quite a few hit dramas in recent years, recognized as a top-tier production team in the industry. If we can establish a strategic partnership with them, our IPs could be optimized for production."
Rong Yan was puzzled, "Then just cooperate."
Estelle shook her head, "This afternoon, they called to say they couldnât cooperate either, giving us an excuse just like the previous two companies. Even though I want to collaborate with Noon Sun Media, we canât force it if theyâve turned us down."
She took a deep breath and summarized, "So far, four or five out of a dozen companies that sent us proposals have withdrawn. These four or five are precisely the more credible ones within the industry! The documents youâre reviewing now are from a few barely reliable partners Iâve picked from the remaining companies. Each of these has some issues, whether theyâve never independently produced a drama or their productions havenât received great reviews, and some are small subsidiaries of big companies; they have the capability but come with complex personnel relations and many disputes."
"Do you know how âSunny Summerâ eventually got on Fruit Channel?"
"How did it happen?"
"I heard Chu Xi pulled some strings to pressure Fruit Channel, and thatâs when the executives decided to purchase âSunny Summerâ. It wasnât just that; sheâs impressive because she not only got the channel to buy the series but also arranged for it to air during the best time slot swiftly. Iâm wondering if our failed collaborations are related to her. After all, her âSunny Summerâ clashed with our âLittle Luckâ premiere, and you brought so many friends, plus Mr. Liâs help, all the media were on our side that day. Maybe sheâs holding a grudge against us because of that."
Rong Yan finally understood what she was getting at, pondered a moment, and spoke, "Estelle, I have some conflict with Chu Xi. Her grudge against us shouldnât be about the series, and that conflict wonât be resolved anytime soon, so just ignore her. As for those companies that approached us and then backed out, itâs fine if they donât want to cooperate. We shouldnât rush into producing the next one anyway, since we hold the IP rights. If they want to emulate âLittle Luckâ, theyâll have to negotiate the rights with us and the author. For now, letâs just manage the rights and leave the rest aside."
"Since you said so... I got it." Estelle suppressed the burden on her mind, no longer mentioning the companyâs invisible pressure, and instead relaxed her shoulders, her eyes landing on her notebook. Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she spoke with Rong Yan, " âLittle Luckâ is more successful than I imagined, almost becoming the first series to break out of the web drama circle. Lemon made a killing and Wang Ying wants to invite you to dinner."
