Chapter 502 Continue Buying
Chen Yang saw the murderous glares from the three women and forced a wry smile. He quickly waved the USB drive in his hand and said, "I'm looking for evidence, so I've installed hidden surveillance in the copyright department and the surrounding areas. There's nothing elsewhere."
"You can sleep and change clothes with peace of mind. I guarantee our security team is very disciplined. My wife can vouch for me on this."
Liu Ran quickly walked over and said, "Yes, yes, I specifically spoke to the security department about this. You can rest assured."
Then Liu Ran looked at Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, next time you install these cameras, you should tell us in advance."
Chen Yang forced another wry smile and nodded, "Got it, got it. You guys are like dogs biting Lu Dongbin, not appreciating kindness. You're taking my good intentions for granted. I'm just trying to solve problems!"
As Chen Yang spoke, he "shooed" out of the office. By the time the women reacted and wanted to hold him accountable, he had already run far away.
Laughter echoed in the office. Then Lin Yueyu took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll go to the copyright department to put on a show. This time, we must make them hurt financially."
Lin Yueyu went downstairs and headed towards the copyright department. Su Ya thought for a moment and said, "I'll go help too."
Upon arriving at the copyright department, Lin Yueyu wore a serious expression. She said, "Everyone, come to the office for an impromptu meeting."
Qin Yueyue and over a dozen other employees entered the office. Lin Yueyu said, "It's been four days, and we haven't bought a single suitable work. Can't you try harder?"
One employee complained helplessly, "Manager Lin, we've done our best. We've tried to discover excellent works, but we're always too late. Every work has been bought by someone else. I think we probably won't be able to buy good copyrights for a while. Why don't we look at new books?"
Lin Yueyu slapped the table and said, "There's no time! We must buy them. For the next three days, every day will be a battle. Now I'm making a rule: today, each of you must find me a list of books."
"Of course, it doesn't have to be historical. Historical fantasy is also fine. In short, each of you must recommend three excellent works to me. Not one less."
The people in the copyright department sighed upon hearing this. Discovering three books worth adapting was very difficult.
Just then, Su Ya stormed in. She pushed the door open violently and said, "Excellent, I was just looking for you. What is this film and television department doing?"
"Don't you know that our personnel and equipment are ready, and we're just waiting for a good work!"
"As a result, you've been delaying for so many days. Do you know that our company loses ten million yuan every day we delay?"
"The most crucial thing is that with each day of delay, the influence brought by our previous videos will decline. This is something that money cannot compensate for."
"Also, the actors' schedules are only for these two months. If you don't find a script here, the actors will leave! Then we won't be able to film!"
"So, I'm giving you three days. You must buy a suitable book for adaptation. No matter how much it costs, our company has plenty of money, so don't try to save it."
Lin Yueyu quickly walked over and said to Su Ya with great trepidation, "Manager Su, we understand. We will work hard. Please don't be angry. We guarantee to complete the task."
Su Ya snorted and turned away angrily.
At this moment, the more than a dozen employees in the entire copyright department finally felt the company's determination. They immediately returned to their workstations and began searching for books quickly.
Qin Yueyue also returned to her seat. She pretended to browse major websites, searching for so-called valuable books.
After more than half an hour, Qin Yueyue secretly ran into the storage room, closed the door, and dialed Yang Long's number.
Qin Yueyue quickly said to Yang Long, "Mr. Yang, the company is desperate. Not only is our department manager furious, but even the second-in-command, Manager Su, came to our department and yelled at us. She also said that our department is not short of money and must buy the copyright within three days."
"If we don't buy it, the company's stated loss is ten million yuan per day, and other losses are even greater. For example, the actors' schedules are only for these two months. After two months, most of the actors will go to other theaters to perform."
"Today, our supervisor gave us a task: everyone must provide three safe lists tonight. In short, the company has completely gone mad this time."
Yang Long on the other end of the line burst into laughter and said, "Well done, Miss Qin Yueyue. Hold on for a while longer. As long as they can't buy historical copyrights within the next half month, you can jump to work for our company. Your salary will be tripled, and I will never go back on my word."
Qin Yueyue immediately thanked him and then hung up the phone and walked out.
At this moment, Yang Long also proudly hung up his phone.
He turned to look at a middle-aged man sitting beside him.
This man wore sunglasses, crossed his legs, and had two tall female models behind him massaging his shoulders. He was Chen De, the now famous great director, and half the power in the entertainment industry.
Yang Long immediately said to Chen De cautiously, "Director Chen, you just heard the content of the conversation."
"Now their Yangyangyang Company is completely desperate. I think Director Yu Long must be like ants on a hot pan right now."
"He has prepared everything, but he can't start filming. He must be extremely frustrated. If we can just delay for another twenty days or a month, they will be completely finished."
"The works they plan to film next will surely not make any waves. Most importantly, they want to film historical works, and we have bought all the excellent historical copyrights. They are destined to fail."
Chen De nodded, smoked his cigar, and said very satisfied to Yang Long, "Little Yang, you've done a good job. Your strategy of 'pulling the rug out from under them' and planting an undercover agent has been a great help to me!"
Yang Long chuckled and said, "Director Chen, you flatter me. It's mainly because I know them too well. As they say, the person who knows you best is always your enemy, and I am the enemy of Yangyangyang Company."
"To deal with Yangyangyang Company, I am willing to serve Director Chen with all my might."
Chen De burst into laughter and said, "Good, very good! Now we just need to spend money and buy all the copyrights they are interested in. This battle is already won."
"And the copyrights they selected are also very good. This has helped us accumulate a large number of excellent resources in advance. In the future, I won't lack filming material in my film and television company."
Yang Long laughed and said, "Yes, yes, Director Chen. With me here, you can rest assured. Now, their Yangyangyang Company's film and television department is working for you."
Chen De laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said, "Good, keep buying! There are only so many excellent copyrights on the market. Then I'll see what they'll film historical online dramas with if they have no scripts, hahaha..."
