Chapter 1778 - 1778 Saving Cui Tong (3)
1778 Saving Cui Tong (3)
“The contract?” Cui Tong nodded without suspicion when asked. “It expires at the end of the year, so there are just two months left. We’re already discussing renewing it.”
Renew it?!
Xia Xibei’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale, “Don’t renew it!”
Her reaction was so agitated that it startled Cui Tong, “What’s wrong? Why not renew?”
After years of cooperation with the Chuan Yi company, they had a good understanding of each other.
Moreover, their collaboration had been quite enjoyable.
It wouldn’t be bad to continue staying here after the contract expired.
“Because I’m here to poach you,” Xia Xibei immediately adjusted her expression and said with a smile.
“Poach? To your company?” Cui Tong was surprised.
“Yes!” Xia Xibei nodded. “As you know, although our company is small, it has great potential for development!”
Cui Tong nodded in agreement.
Previously, the SY Company somehow obtained the rights to a few novels and adapted them into low-budget web dramas.
Although all of the dramas were low-budget, two of them took off and earned them a lot of money, which also propelled their actors into stardom.
Although those actors didn’t develop as rapidly as Xia Xibei did, the company had mapped out good futures for them.
If they could film a couple more shows, they would be able to secure their footing in the industry.
When the two web dramas took off, others also noticed the potential of web dramas.
So, everyone started looking for various novels and buying the rights to adapt them.
However, they discovered that many of the good novels’ rights had already been bought up by none other than the SY Company!
If they wanted to film those novels, they had to buy them from the SY Company.
However, the rights that were originally bought for tens of thousands of yuan could now cost several million or even tens of millions of yuan!
The increments were insane!
That was an incredible return on investment!
As a result, the SY Company’s development got better and better, and its momentum in the industry was strong.
Many youngsters wanted to join the SY Company and become their trainees, hoping to become the next big star.
Cui Tong didn’t expect that Xia Xibei would come to poach her.
“As you know, our company offers great conditions. Don’t worry, as long as you come over, we can easily negotiate the contract.”
Xia Xibei took on the demeanor of a boss as she negotiated.
“Such a good deal?” Cui Tong raised her eyebrows. “I could ask for anything?”
“Dream on!” Xia Xibei gave her an eyeroll. “But I can guarantee you that we offer better things than Chuan Yi.”
Hearing this, Cui Tong couldn’t help but stroke her chin.
If that were the case, it seemed like a good idea.
Although Cui Tong was a rich young lady who wasn’t short of money, she wasn’t one to throw money in the water.
Being a celebrity was somewhat like a business.
Who wouldn’t want to make more money?
Moreover, the SY Company had Xia Xibei!
Her path of development didn’t overlap with Xia Xibei’s, so she didn’t have to worry about competing for resources.
She had quite a reputation too. If she joined the SY Company, she might not be the most popular, but she would have no problem being the second or third in line.
It sounded like a great deal.
After some thought, Cui Tong nodded, “That’s a good idea. I’ll go back and discuss it with the others. I’ll give you an answer later.”
“Okay,” Xia Xibei nodded.
Then she looked outside. “The weather is so nice today. Let’s go for a walk!”
Cui Tong was startled, “Go for a walk? Are you crazy?”
