“Yes, apparently, Song Wenchuan found the person-in-charge. Ha… he’s a good brother.”
Xu Yue’s tone was full of mockery and disdain.
Song Yaoyao paused for a moment.
“That’s normal.”
Lowering her eyelashes, Song Yaoyao licked her lips. Her tone was soft and calm.
“If it were me, I would choose to do the same.”
Blood was thicker than water. How could one just give up on it?
However, it was one thing for Song Yaoyao to understand. Whether she was willing to accept it or not was another matter entirely.
“Then what should we do? Should we continue buying?”
“No need. Let’s just leave it at that.”
It did not mean anything in itself. Even if they won the lawsuit, the compensation wouldn’t be much and the Doted Concubine would continue to be screened.
It wasn’t good for their reputation, but wasn’t it enough to earn money?
Although the public’s awareness of copyright had increased a lot, there were still some people who focused on the screen and didn’t care about the novel. They didn’t understand the problem.
Besides, watching television was free, it didn’t cost anything to take a look.
The attention would only increase their traffic.
“Okay,” Xu Yue agreed. “I’ll get someone to keep an eye on the court. It’s best if we can settle this quickly.”
“Okay, we’ll leave it at that.”
Back in the private room, Kang Yuan could tell that Song Yaoyao’s mood was not as good as before.
He waved his hand and when Song Yaoyao sat down beside him, he raised his wine glass and asked softly, “Did something happen?”
“It’s nothing.”
Song Yaoyao took a sip of her drink and her eyes curved. “I can settle it.”
Although she was young, she was a person with good prospects. Kang Yuan nodded. “If you encounter something that can’t be solved, tell me. It’s hard to comment on other things, but in this circle, I still have some connections.”
This feeling of being protected was very good. Song Yaoyao beamed. “I know. If there’s a need, I won’t hide it from you.”
“It’s good that you know.”
Kang Yuan laughed and patted her shoulder. “Come, come, CEO Xu, let me introduce you. This is my student. Other things aside, her talent is frighteningly high! In time, she will surpass me without a problem.”
“Teacher…” Song Yaoyao was helpless. “You think too highly of me.”
“I’m telling the truth!”
“Haha, Kang Yuan doesn’t praise people easily. I think highly of you!” The middle-aged man in a suit laughed loudly and raised his glass to Kang Yuan.
“That’s right. I never planned to take in a disciple in my life. Who knew that I would meet Yaoyao? This is all fate!”
The other executives nodded in agreement.
This time, they were actually here to discuss the investment of the next movie. After the discussion, Kang Yuan suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile, “Executives, are you interested in investing in another movie?”
Song Yaoyao was stunned. “Teacher?”
Kang Yuan threw her a look, indicating for her to be quiet.
“This little student of mine is very talented. She just bought the copyright of a novel a while ago and has already adapted it. The content is wonderful. As long as it is filmed, it will definitely sell well!”
Now that the industry was saturated, a few of the great directors had failed one after another. The glory of the past was long gone. Very few people dared to say such guaranteed words.
But now, Kang Yuan was so confident in his little disciple?
She was just a child. She hadn’t even gone to university, what could she do?
No matter how talented she was, she still had to rely on her experience to accumulate. Which house would sell for an explosive amount of money the moment they started auctioning it off?
Kang Yuan’s words weren’t very considered. Wasn’t he asking them to throw their money away?
But even though they were thinking that, they still had to make a decent buck.
