Chapter 388: Everything is Going Smoothly

"Recruit them into Boring Short Videos?"

Li Shen spoke softly; he had never even considered this possibility before.

"That's right, just recruit them into Boring Short Videos."

Chen Mo nodded.

He thought to himself, as long as they are recruited into Boring Short Videos, they will be employees of Boring Short Videos.

Since they are people of Boring Short Videos, they should abide by the rules of Boring Short Videos, which means they can no longer continue promoting it.

Wouldn't that indirectly stop the promotion?

Li Shen nodded subconsciously, but quickly realized the implication.

"General Manager Chen, if they are recruited into Boring Short Videos, can they still continue to promote it?"

"Of course not. That's the policy of Boring Short Videos. Even if they are talented, they cannot break the rules."

Chen Mo glanced at Li Shen indifferently. This sly fox, even at a time like this, he's still thinking about promotion.

It seems you'll be one of the team leaders for the next batch of impoverished elderly pick-ups.

Learn from Wei Yan; he hasn't stirred up any trouble for a long time.

"Then what about the promotion…"

Li Shen spoke with some concern. It had been so hard to find a decent promotional method; it would be a real pity if it just disappeared like this.

"Do you think talent is more important, or promotion? Promotion can be done at any time, but talent—once missed—might be gone forever, do you know that?"

Chen Mo casually made up an excuse.

"Alright, I'll contact them when I get back. But what if they don't want to join Boring Short Videos?"

Li Shen suddenly felt worried.

With over 20,000 in income for just four hours of livestreaming a day, who would choose to work a regular job?

"If they don't want to join, it's simply because the benefits aren't enough. If you increase the benefits, why wouldn't they join?"

"Alright, it's settled. Go handle it as soon as possible."

Chen Mo looked at Li Shen and waved his hand dismissively.

"Understood, General Manager Chen."

Li Shen nodded in agreement. At that moment, he suddenly realized why the report had been wrinkled.

It was probably because he felt disappointed that I was turning a blind eye to talent.

Watching Li Shen leave, Chen Mo smiled faintly.

As long as those students from Normal University are recruited into Boring Short Videos, the matter of promotion will be easily resolved.

Of course, this treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Perhaps one day, some other annoying streamer will take the initiative to promote Boring Short Videos again.

But when that happens, we'll deal with it then.

At least for now, I can slow down the spread of Boring Short Videos.

Thinking this, Chen Mo set the slightly wrinkled report aside and pressed the call button for the Lanpian Film and Television manager's office.

He also needed to arrange the matter of the elderly song and dance troupe.

This is also a great way to spend money. Since it's a song and dance troupe, there will be many places to spend money, such as rehearsal instructors, rehearsal venues, and performance props.

Not long after, Luo Xiao knocked on the door and entered the office.

"General Manager Chen."

"Let's talk over here."

Chen Mo stood up and led Luo Xiao to the seating area by the floor-to-ceiling window, while simultaneously turning on the electric tea set to brew a pot of tea.

"How is the movie going? Is the progress smooth?"

"Reporting to General Manager Chen, the editing has already begun, and the special effects are also in production. Currently, everything seems to be going very smoothly."

Luo Xiao quickly replied.

After discussing the special effects with Fang Chang in the cafeteria last time, Fang Chang had taken him to meet that highly capable special effects production team that very evening.

After some negotiations, both parties reached an agreement.

Now, the special effects production has officially begun.

"Is that so!"

Chen Mo nodded, feeling somewhat disappointed, and immediately put the movie out of his mind. It's a bad movie anyway. Even if it gets box office returns, it won't be much, and it won't have a huge impact on his settlement.

"Anyway, I called you here today because I have a new arrangement."

"General Manager Chen, please go ahead."

Luo Xiao quickly straightened his posture.

"I intend to establish an elderly song and dance troupe, and I need you to arrange its formation."

"The candidates for the elderly members will be those impoverished elderly people we've brought in from all over the country."

Chen Mo spoke slowly, pouring Luo Xiao a cup of the freshly brewed tea.

Seeing this, Luo Xiao quickly took the tea and took a small sip.

"General Manager Chen, roughly how many people are needed for the elderly song and dance troupe?"

"There is no limit on the number, as long as they meet the criteria for joining the elderly song and dance troupe. These criteria must be strict; you need to find a few professional instructors to select them. At the same time, you must take the elderly to the hospital for a full-body check-up to see if there are any underlying diseases that make them unsuitable for joining the troupe."

"Oh, right, this medical examination is something all the arriving elderly must undergo. You should discuss this with Jiang Cheng from the Garment factory and Pang Tao from the Pet Park when the time comes."

Chen Mo also poured himself a cup of tea and took a small sip.

The impoverished elderly who were brought over basically only had three destinations: the Garment factory, the Pet Park, and the elderly song and dance troupe.

Therefore, the three of them could just coordinate the medical examinations.

Medical examinations were also very necessary. Those elderly people lived in impoverished mountainous areas and would have more or less some illnesses. After the examination, they could just use the results to provide treatment.

And the costs of treatment would naturally be covered by System Funds.

This would both consume System Funds and ensure the elderly's physical health.

"I understand, General Manager Chen."

Luo Xiao nodded.

"Hmm, in that case, go ahead and prepare. However, when preparing for the elderly song and dance troupe, do not neglect the preparations for the new movie. You can find a suitable leader for the elderly song and dance troupe; you don't have to be in charge of everything yourself."

Chen Mo gave a word of caution.

The new movie was related to a way to spend money before the settlement, so it could not be neglected.

"Understood."

Luo Xiao finished the tea in his hand, stood up, and left the office.

Returning to his office, after checking the progress of the [demon subduing record] movie editing, he turned his attention to the elderly song and dance troupe arranged by General Manager Chen.

After General Manager Chen finished his instructions, he had agreed immediately.

But now that I think about it, what is the use of this elderly song and dance troupe?

Would anyone really watch a group of elderly people perform? It doesn't seem likely.

If that's the case, how is the elderly song and dance troupe supposed to make a profit?

If it can't make a profit, then creating this elderly song and dance troupe is just a money-losing business.

Luo Xiao rubbed his head, feeling confused for a moment.

He picked up his phone to check the time and found that it was only a few minutes until 12:00 PM.

It would be lunchtime soon. Thinking this over, he stood up and walked outside. Since I can't figure it out myself, I'll just ask the person in the company who understands General Manager Chen the best.

Pushing open his office door, Wang Bin also walked out from another office.

"How is the movie editing going?"

Seeing Wang Bin come out, Luo Xiao took the opportunity to ask.

Ever since the movie started editing, Wang Bin had been in charge of overseeing it.

As the lead actor of this movie, he naturally knew which parts of the plot were important and what kind of effect they ultimately wanted to present.

Therefore, with Wang Bin overseeing it, the editing of this movie could be even more perfect.
