After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 752 - 408 Kneel Down and Beg for Mercy_2
Chen Feng tasted it and found that the Huaiyang cuisine here was indeed very authentic, with a great taste.
After the three of them ate for a while, they slowly started talking again. However, it was mostly casual conversation, without touching on business matters.
It wasn't until all the dishes were served and the two women put down their chopsticks after being full that Tang Xinyi brought up the main topic.
"Boss Chen, actually the reason I invited you to dinner this time, apart from formally confirming the collaboration on 'Flowers Bloom and Fall,' is also because I want to ask for your help."
Sure enough, treating to a meal and even the win-win cooperation were excuses, and this was the ultimate goal.
Chen Feng didn't speak immediately, and Lu Sijia tactfully took over the conversation, saying, "President Tang, helping is not a problem, but it must be within our capabilities, otherwise it would really put us in a difficult position."
Tang Xinyi quickly said, "It will certainly not be difficult for your boss."
Lu Sijia frowned and asked, "So what do you need our help with?"
Tang Xinyi was not shy and directly said, "In the past two years, three of our company's film and television dramas have been stuck in censorship, causing funding turnover difficulties for Qipeng Media during these years. After many inquiries, we found that it might be Fan Xin secretly creating trouble. Now that Fan Xin's backing has collapsed, we want Boss Chen to help us out. If you can, please speak a word to help our three projects pass the censorship.
Of course, I will definitely not make things difficult for you or the censorship department over there. We'll adjust as needed within the official procedures. We'll delete what needs to be deleted, and we will not ask for any special favors. Additionally, we can offer proper consultation fees to the experts as per industry norms. Whatever amount is appropriate, we will provide without cutting corners.
Boss Chen, can you help me with this favor? If you help us this time, from now on, you and Fengmang Film and Television Company will have Qipeng Media as a friend. Whenever you need our help, we will certainly do our best."
When Chen Feng and Lu Sijia heard her request, they both visibly relaxed.
After all, to them, such a favor was just standard practice and not excessive at all.
However, for a company like Qipeng Media, which isn't very large, having three films being held back from release is indeed a significant loss.
Chen Feng knew his limits; he only had Li Shengping as an acquaintance in the East Sea's censorship agency and knew no one in the headquarters, not even a security guard or a doorman, so how could he speak a word there?
So, he honestly said, "Since Fan Xin's uncle has fallen, if you resubmit the applications through the proper channels, I believe no one will deliberately obstruct you again, right?"
Tang Xinyi gave a bitter smile and said, "That's what we originally thought, but the day before yesterday, when we resubmitted the three films for review according to the process, they were rejected again today, requiring revisions. The feedback for each film only provided a vague guideline for revisions, making it very difficult for us to make changes. That's why I thought of the resourceful Boss Chen. Please, you must help us."
Chen Feng didn't expect her company to be so unlucky, although it's also possible that the company's three films might indeed have some issues. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"What are the specific themes of these three films from your company? Is there indeed anything inappropriate?" Chen Feng frowned and asked.
Tang Xinyi said, "One is a war film, another is a martial arts film, and the last is a romance film. We've revised them multiple times, and we genuinely don't know if there's still anything inappropriate. Especially the modern romance film, featuring handsome men and beautiful women, tells the love story of working-class people in the city. We even deleted all the original kissing scenes, making it a pure love film where the most intimate moments are hugs or hand-holding. We can't fathom what else could be inappropriate."
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Here's what you can do: have your team brainstorm and revise again, and after you're done, submit it for review again according to the process. Let me know at that time, and I'll put in a word for you."
Saying he would put in a word was, of course, impossible because he had no contacts to approach, but it wasn't polite to refuse someone who pleaded so earnestly. Anyway, whether or not Chen Feng does anything, there's no way for them to verify.
If by then he has made a call and the films still don't pass, it would indicate there are still fundamental issues with the films, and they can't blame him. If they do pass, then Tang Xinyi would indeed owe him a favor.
Tang Xinyi was overjoyed when she saw Chen Feng readily agree.
"Thank you, Boss Chen. I'll toast you with juice instead of wine."
Tang Xinyi, with an air of exuberance, filled her cup with juice and downed it in one go.
Chen Feng watched her speechlessly.
After that, Tang Xinyi's smile never left her face, and she managed to say quite a few flattering words, making Chen Feng genuinely feel how much the business world could hone a person. The once innocent and playful Consort Qi on the screen was now entirely different from the seasoned career woman standing in front of him.
The next day, Chen Feng arrived at the East Lake's Willow Smoke and Flying Catkins scenic spot around twelve-thirty, as agreed.
From a distance, he saw Fan Xin, wearing big sunglasses and leather shoes, pacing back and forth by the lakeside and frequently glancing around.
This guy looked as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, clearly waiting for someone, making it impossible for Chen Feng not to notice.
When Chen Feng appeared, Fan Xin immediately spotted him and quickly jogged in his direction.
Chen Feng glanced around; there were many tourists coming and going, but there were evidently no accomplices or ambushes.
So, he wasn't worried about anything.
Chen Feng calmly stood still, waiting for him to come over.
Fan Xin ran up to him, and without saying a word, dropped to his knees with a thud.
"Chen Feng, one must take responsibility for one's own actions. I offended you. Do as you wish with me, but please don't implicate my uncle. I'm begging you!"
Fan Xin raised his head, his face showing humiliation and helplessness. With the sunglasses covering his eyes, his exact expression couldn't be seen.
However, Fan Xin's sudden gesture left Chen Feng momentarily stunned, not knowing how to react. Never in his life had he been knelt to by a full-grown man asking for such a plea.
Seeing no reaction from Chen Feng, Fan Xin thought he was being cruel and unresponsive.
So, Fan Xin gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and with a grimace of both ferocity and pain on his face, pressed his hands to the ground, bowing his head low, with his forehead striking the ground with a loud thud.
When he looked up again at Chen Feng, his forehead was already red and swollen.
"Chen Feng, please be magnanimous and spare my uncle. Any way you want to handle me, I will accept."
After speaking, Fan Xin again heavily banged his head on the ground.
