After hanging up the phone, Ding Zhi frowned.

Although Wu Mengxia on the other end of the phone was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process, she still seemed a little disapproving of the question raised by Ding Zhi.

In fact, you can see the difference between Wu Mengxia and Chen Ke here.

If it was Chen Ke who was talking to Ding Zhi on the phone at this time, he would probably understand what Ding Zhi meant right away.

This actually involves Chen Ke's understanding of Ding Zhi - Ding Zhi will not mention an issue that is not related to the partner for no reason.

After all, the two have been working together for many years.

On the one hand, it is also because the Goose Factory faction has more "palace fights" on weekdays. Just like today, there are still two major factions in Peach TV, one is Chen Ke's faction, and the other is Qi Shuai's faction.

.

This situation has constraints. For example, Chen Ke missed out on "The Beginning" this time. It is said that Qi Shuai strongly opposed it during the high-level meeting, which made Chen Ke unable to make a decision, and finally let Madou TV take the lead.

The right to cooperate has arrived.

On the other hand, it also made Chen Ke extremely sensitive to this situation.

But it is a pity that it is not old friend Chen Ke who is now cooperating with Jiuyao Media on "The Beginning".

Ding Zhi shook his head. He had already warned Madou's side. If there was any problem on their side, he would have done his duty here.

Although it was just a suspicion, Ding Zhi, who had been in contact with both Chen Ke and Qi Shuai, could actually vaguely guess that it was not just a coincidence that Goose Factory found Tan Zichen at this time.

After that, Ding Zhi privately found several other leading actors, such as Huang Jue and Liu Dan, who played the role of "Villain Couple", and asked them carefully. The result was that except for Tan Zichen, the others were fine.

After finally thinking about it, Ding Zhi dialed Chen Ke's phone number.

"Hey! Old Chen."

"Hey! Why don't you call me when you have time!"

"No, I'm busy. I mainly want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

There was nothing unusual about Chen Ke on the other end of the phone.

"That ancient puppet film by Taobao, called "Splendid Years", was it made by you, Lao Chen?"

"kindness......"

The other party seemed to ponder for a few seconds.

"I remembered, Qi Shuai was in charge. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No, I was still filming "The Beginning", and then the leading actor suddenly told me that he was approached for a film and wanted to change his face. It seemed that it would take a while to reshoot, but this guy, after taking

It was only after I finished the show that I found out that it had a conflicting schedule with our "The Beginning"."

Ding Zhi didn't hold anything back and said it all. Of course, he didn't mention Zichen's manager, mainly because it was unnecessary.

"Is that so? I know that "Splendid Years" is going to be reshot, but I didn't expect that your leading actor would be blamed."

Chen Ke on the other end of the phone also looked very surprised.

"Okay, Lao Chen, I am still filming "The Beginning". We are filming and broadcasting here. We are afraid of problems in connecting the schedule. In theory, it should be able to seamlessly connect with "Splendid Times", but I am not afraid.

Ten thousand is just in case, right? Then you can see if you can make some money first."

"kindness......"

Chen Ke obviously pondered for a while.

"Okay, although Qi Shuai and I don't have much to deal with, I can still help you ask here. After all, what you want at that time is mostly the effect of face-changing."

"Okay, thank you in advance."

Chen Ke smiled heartily over there and said, "Hey, if you really want to thank me, you'll come to me first for your next drama! Ouch, your current show "The Beginning" is really craving me."

"Tsk, it's like I didn't find you at the beginning, so the cooperation was rejected by you.

Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, I’m getting ready to film!

After filming, I’ll treat you to dinner later!”

"Okay, if you save another hit movie, you will definitely get ripped off.

You'd better bring me the script of the next drama, and when the time comes, I can guarantee that you can make whatever conditions you want!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ke's smile on the other end gradually faded.

The ancient puppet show "Splendid Years" that Ding Zhi mentioned was indeed Qi Shuai's responsibility.

But finding Tan Zichen to star in a face-changing role was something Chen Ke had known about for a long time.

In fact, Chen Ke and Qi Shuai, the two top leaders of Taobao Pictures, are not as completely incompatible as the outside world thinks.

Perhaps they were indeed incompatible at the beginning, but after Qi Shuai established a firm foothold in Taobao Pictures and was crushed by the sophisticated Chen Ke for so many years, the two have actually maintained a kind of "enemies"

tacit agreement".

The two people would be at odds within the company. For example, on the issue of purchasing the film for "The Beginning", Qi Shuai was the one who opposed the most vigorously.

But when it comes to "foreign strategy", there is a certain tacit understanding.

In fact, this trial of "The Beginning" and Madou TV was based on Chen Ke's suggestion.

This actually does not conflict with the personal relationship between Chen Ke and Ding Zhi.

Just like Ding Zhi abandoned Peach TV, which he had cooperated with for many years but the conditions were not as expected, Chen Ke's behavior is also a normal "business competition behavior".

The rise of Peach TV in recent years is actually squeezing the living space of other large platforms, especially Madou TV and Aiyou Video, which are the most declining among the four major platforms.

The popularity of "The Beginning" on Madou TV is actually an attempt by Madou TV to make a comeback, especially the "broadcast and shoot at the same time" model. While Ding Zhi's Jiuyao Media saves production costs, the platform actually

It is also very convenient in terms of funding for film purchase.

And Chen Ke knew what kind of power Madou TV would be able to unleash once Ding Zhi and Madou TV formed an in-depth binding similar to the one he had with Peach TV a few years ago.

One hit drama may not matter, but two, three, or even four dramas in a row, the cumulative effect of quantitative change into qualitative change is very amazing.

The success of the simultaneous filming and broadcasting model of "The Beginning" is equivalent to the emergence of a model that achieves the ultimate in both "open source" and "reducing expenditure".

Moreover, the high risk of this model is also completely compensated by Ding Zhi's "instant hits" that are like magic.

How could Chen Ke tolerate this situation?

In the previous meeting, Qi Shuai also "overcame all opinions" to exclude the popular product that originally belonged to Peach TV, and suffered a lot of criticism. Therefore, in terms of the right to speak, Chen Ke robbed him.

A lot has passed.

but......

"Hey, Ding Zhi found out, you don't have to push too hard, just sell a favor to Ding Zhi."

"No, let it go? Then wouldn't our work have been in vain? We fooled that agent and set up such a game!"

Qi Shuai's tone on the other end of the phone was very unkind, and he obviously had strong opinions on this matter.

"Do you think this idea is just some clever plan? It's all about taking it by surprise! Once it's known, it won't be anything!

Guess who told Ding Zhi as soon as he signed the contract? Obviously, that little star named Tan Zichen has better vision than you and knows who to hug tightly...

."

"you......"

"Okay, that's it!"

Chen Ke hung up the phone.

...

...

On the other side, Ding Zhi put the matter aside after hanging up the phone.

And Ding Zhi’s phone call actually meant the same thing.

Anyway, if Ding Zhi is overly concerned, then asking Chen Ke to say hello can be regarded as an insurance policy.

If it is indeed a little trap set by Peach TV, then it is just as Chen Ke thought.

What this kind of thing needs is to be caught off guard, just like the old Xu in "The Transformation of the Silkworm" who suddenly disappeared without saying a word before filming started. Only in this way can it be lethal.

Ding Zhi already knew about this, and even Tan Zichen revealed everything, and even expressed his willingness to repay the other party's liquidated damages, which is an act of "showing loyalty", in fact, it no longer poses any threat to "The Beginning".

Ding Zhi, who has the "fruit of face", solved the problem that Tan Zichen had been worrying about all night with just a phone call, and Ding Zhi continued to devote himself to filming.

In fact, although only the eighth episode has been aired, the filming of the entire "The Beginning" is actually being completed.

When "Zhang Cheng" was killed in this cycle, the whole story had already reached a turning point.

In the countless cycles of the bus, for the first time, the explosion did not occur in the bus.

Everyone in the bus survived, even the bus driver Wang Xingde and the "pot aunt" Tao Yinghong who were the initiators of everything.

The only regret is that Zhang Cheng, played by Ding Zhi, was affected by the bomb and died after ineffective rescue efforts.

At this time, the plot has actually become completely clear.
