In the Black Swan Group, there is only one person who can be called Chairman Gu.
Gu Bai!
"Where is Chairman Gu right now?!"
Long Dan Ni hurriedly asked.
Just scolding the assistant about the sky falling, now acting not much better than the assistant.
Since the Black Swan Group acquired Wajijiwa Entertainment and renamed it Black Swan Entertainment, Gu Bai has never visited this subsidiary for inspection, and now his unexpected arrival is considered a sudden inspection by Long Dan Ni.
If the sky fell, it wouldn't require Long Dan Ni to bear it.
But Gu Bai is the sky of the entire Black Swan Group; if Gu Bai is displeased, then Long Dan Ni has to bear it.
"Vice President Yang originally planned to take Chairman Gu to the rest area, but he didn't go. He headed directly to the recording site, and he should be arriving soon. I tried to call you but couldn't get through, so I ran over to inform you."
Long Dan Ni never uses her phone during work hours, and hearing this, she directly ignored her frustration and walked out in high heels.
As for the Tencent delegation and the advertising representatives, they glanced at each other and quickly followed her.
After all, with Gu Bai's current status, even their own bosses have to treat him equally, not to mention them as employees.
Long Dan Ni had just reached the exit of the filming site when she bumped into Gu Bai, who was brought in by Vice President Yang Min.
Gu Bai was at the front. Due to the cold winter in the capital city, he wore a long down jacket, complemented with a brown turtleneck cashmere sweater, accompanied by Xu Beibei, who sported a bun hairstyle, looking quirky.
Upon seeing Long Dan Ni, Gu Bai chuckled and asked, "President Long, where are you planning to rush off to?"
Upon seeing Gu Bai, Long Dan Ni first greeted him respectfully and promptly replied, "I heard you arrived, President Gu, and wanted to welcome you. You should have informed us in advance instead of this sudden appearance, scaring me into thinking you were dissatisfied with our work and came for a sudden inspection."
Gu Bai laughed heartily.
"I found staying at home during the New Year dull, so I brought my younger sister to tour the capital city."
He then affectionately smiled at Xu Beibei, who was beside him, "Beibei, this is Long Dan Ni, President Long, also the agent of your favorite, Mao Buyi."
Although Xu Beibei isn't a typical fan girl, she is a passionate star-chaser and naturally heard of the name of the reality show godmother, Long Dan Ni. She immediately greeted Long Dan Ni nicely, "Hello, President Long."
Long Dan Ni was momentarily stunned, but since Gu Bai referred to Xu Beibei as his younger sister and given the tender expression earlier, she quickly asked Gu Bai, "Is this your younger sister, Chairman Gu?"
Gu Bai roughly understood the intent behind Long Dan Ni's question. She wanted to clarify whether Xu Beibei was his actual sister or "young sister."
"She is my first cousin."
Upon Gu Bai's explanation, Long Dan Ni shifted from her previous indifference towards subordinates, warmly addressing Xu Beibei, "Your name is Beibei, right? No need to call me President Long, you can call me Sister Long."
Xu Beibei looked up at Gu Bai.
Seeing Gu Bai nod slightly, Xu Beibei then softly called out, "Sister Long."
"Chairman Gu."
"Chairman Gu."
Meanwhile, the tardy Tencent delegation and advertising representatives arrived in front of Gu Bai, greeting him respectfully.
Gu Bai raised his eyebrows, glanced at them lightly, and nodded slightly, acknowledging them as a form of response.
Though Gu Bai's demeanor was not overly polite, none of the group felt discontent, still full of respectful smiles.
Without much small talk, Gu Bai stepped forward towards the filming site, and everyone else stepped aside, forming a passage behind him.
"President Long, how is the preparation for the show coming along?"
Upon hearing Gu Bai's inquiry, Long Dan Ni promptly replied, "All preparations are complete, and we've confirmed with Tencent about the schedule. The show officially starts filming in March, and it's expected to be available on Tencent Video by mid-March."
Creation 111 is the first show that Long Dan Ni operated and produced after leaving Tianyu. She was determined to stage a comeback, letting the entertainment circle witness her return as the 'star-making machine.'
The Spring Festival in 2018 fell on February 16, and it's now the 20th, meaning the program would begin filming in 10 days.
With Long Dan Ni's response, Gu Bai nodded satisfactorily. Starting from the New Year block through to May, there will be Black Swan Film and Television investments showing on the big screen for three straight months.
And "Fuyao" diverged from the previous life's script, initially dismissed by Mango TV and later bought by Blueberry Channel for 800 million.
Instead, wealthy Mango TV purchased its rights and three months of exclusive broadcast rights for 1.2 billion.
Counting on network rights and various income streams, "Fuyao" earning over 1.5 billion was assured. Gu Bai's gambling succeeded, and though this drama doesn't yield huge profits for Black Swan Film and Television, earning two to three billion is effortlessly achievable.
With the impending filming of Creation 111, to exaggerate a bit.
In 2018, whether big screens or small screens, Black Swan Group will dominate.
Standing aside, Duan Weiyuan seized the chance, throwing a complimentary note towards Gu Bai: "One cannot help but admire Chairman Gu's sharp vision; this program has been classified as an S+ level variety by us at E Factory Film and Television and plans to channel the resources from consecutive programs towards Creation 111. Especially Director Chen Wu of E Factory Film and Television exclaimed during a meeting that if our Tencent Artist Agency wasn't so unproductive, he'd even want to compete with you for the contracts of the girl group debuting after this program."
Gu Bai glanced at him, lightly chuckling, "Oh? President Chen values this girl group's contract ownership?"
"Certainly, anyone perceptive could notice this group's debut through such massive exposure, likely setting them at the peak right upon debut."
"Sure, if President Chen is willing to relinquish 10% of the program profits, I'll give you the agency contracts of the debuting girl group."
Upon hearing Gu Bai's words, Duan Weiyuan smiled awkwardly.
His remarks here were as told by Chen Wu to probe Long Dan Ni, seeing if there might be opportunities to cash in further on the girl group after the show. Now, with Gu Bai directly interacting, Duan Weiyuan attempted probing Gu Bai himself.
But judging by Gu Bai's tone, this idea can be directly forsaken.
Looking at Duan Weiyuan's awkward smile, Gu Bai gently chuckled, dismissing it with a disdainful laugh.
Oh well, Tencent remains Tencent, always eager for a bargain.
However, Gu Bai is no saint; you're welcome to have a share, but bring something of equivalent value for exchange—forget trying empty-handed schemes with him. Even if Boss Huateng himself showed up, it wouldn't happen.
While Gu Bai was inspecting the site, the celebrity agents around were keen-eyed, immediately noticing him.
They promptly conveyed this to their respective celebrities nearby.
Upon learning the arrival of Gu Bai, the stars temporarily halted their conversations with the amateurs, rushing over to familiarize their faces with Gu Bai.
"Hello, Chairman Gu."
Xue Ziqian and Zhang Jie had previously encountered Gu Bai.
At that time, Black Swan Capital was merely a capital company with a scale of over ten billion, without much involvement in entertainment, and Gu Bai invited them to attend the first Internet Celebrity Festival as Xingnai Media's boss.
However, little did they expect just months later.
Gu Bai wouldn't only transform into one of the entertainment industry's top moguls but was even recognized as a youth leader officially. In terms of societal status, there are few in the entire Hua Country who could surpass Gu Bai today.
Xue Ziqian and Zhang Jie regretted deeply, if they had cultivated better relations with Gu Bai at the time, unexpected benefits might have ensued.
