Lantern Festival

"That's right, our shared goal is to make Mingri Group bigger and stronger." Li Shen nodded in agreement.

"Yes, but you two have already done a great job. However, the Garment factory here has been in a state of loss." Jiang Cheng said with some shame.

Cangxue Games, managed by Wei Yan, had long since turned losses into profits, and the profit amount was in the hundreds of millions.

Boring Short Videos, managed by Li Shen, also completely entered a profitable state last month and leaped to become the most profitable company under Mingri Group.

As for the Garment factory, he had been in charge for so long, but apart from the production of team uniforms which generated some income, the sales of regular clothing had always been in a less-than-ideal state.

"Old Jiang, don't be anxious. The Garment factory is a physical industry, so the cycle needed to become profitable is bound to be long."

"Besides, the Garment factory is still under construction. Once construction is complete, given the scale of the Garment factory and those advanced pieces of equipment, recruiting agents should be simpler. As long as the number of agents increases and there are more and more Changfeng Clothing stores, the reputation will slowly build up."

"Right now, the biggest problem for Changfeng Clothing is its reputation. As long as the reputation of Changfeng Clothing increases, future sales won't be an issue." Wei Yan looked at Jiang Cheng and analyzed.

"Exactly. Once the sports meet begins, everyone from the company will be wearing Changfeng Clothing, and by then, the three livestreaming accounts will be broadcasting, which will be great publicity for Changfeng Clothing." Li Shen also spoke up to comfort him.

"And you have us, too. If there are any opportunities for promotion, we will help as well."

…

Beijing, Junhao Hotel. Inside a Room.

"The phalanx over at the company has trained just about enough. This is the result of today's training." Wang Bin opened his phone, found a video, and handed it to Luo Xiao.

The sports meet was about to start. Since they were currently filming in Beijing, there was no way they could go back, but there were still many employees at the company, such as the editing department… Therefore, they would have to be the ones to participate in the sports meet, and they would also need to provide personnel to train for the phalanx.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiao took the phone handed over by Wang Bin and clicked on the video to watch for a while. In the video was a neat phalanx, accompanied by loud slogans. After a while, he nodded and returned the phone to Wang Bin.

"Not bad, but you can't slack off, especially the momentum of shouting the slogans. It must absolutely not lose to the other company phalanxes."

"I have already given instructions on this; it absolutely won't be weaker than the other company phalanxes." Wang Bin said seriously.

Luo Xiao nodded and did not continue the topic, instead picking up the filming plan on the side and reading it.

"You have quite a lot of scenes tomorrow. Are you confident you can finish filming within the allotted time?"

"That's naturally no problem, Brother Xiao. Don't you know my acting skills by now?" Wang Bin said confidently. He had already thoroughly studied this script, and in his spare time, he would act it out himself. Therefore, he was very confident about the filming.

"That's good. Given our current film crew's shooting progress, it's already impossible to make it in time for the Spring Festival release, but if we push the progress a bit recently, we should be able to release it during the Lantern Festival."

There was a hint of regret in Luo Xiao's eyes. If they could have made it for the New Year release, it would definitely have been a huge wave of traffic.

But there was no help for it. He roughly integrated the shooting progress; they would need about 30 more days to finish filming. That would be around January 15th.

After filming was finished, they would still need to do the editing. As for special effects, they had basically been following along during the filming period, so it wouldn't take much time.

Therefore, after filming was finished, it would take about twenty days to produce the complete movie. Since filming would finish around January 15th, there would basically be more than 40 days until the Lantern Festival, which was enough time for him to edit the movie, contact cinemas, and arrange for the movie release.

Having had previous experience, and coupled with the success of [demon subduing record], it would basically be very smooth, and there wouldn't be any obstacles like before.

"Hmm, it's already a pity to have missed the Spring Festival release, we can't miss the Lantern Festival release too." Wang Bin nodded in agreement.

The filming had now entered its final stages. He had also seen the special effects clips produced by the headquarters, and in his heart, he was already very much looking forward to the appearance of this movie. A sci-fi movie!

Currently, in the film and television industry, it had been a long time since a decent sci-fi movie had appeared. If their [wandering blue star] this time was successfully released, it was very likely to become a hit sci-fi movie.

By then, the box office, to say the least, would definitely have no problem surpassing [demon subduing record]. Thinking of this, Wang Bin looked at Luo Xiao with a look of anticipation.

"Brother Xiao, if this [wandering blue star] is a success, that would be a very fulfilling achievement."

"Indeed!" Luo Xiao nodded. He was also very much looking forward to this sci-fi movie. The two smiled at each other.

Knock, knock, knock! The door was suddenly knocked on.

"That should be them. I'll go open the door." Hearing the knocking, Wang Bin quickly got up and walked toward the door.

Opening the door, he saw two figures standing at the doorway.

"Director Yu, Wang Qiang, come in quickly. We've been waiting for you." Looking at the two at the door, Wang Bin smiled and brought them into the Room.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Director Yu Zheng said with an apologetic look.

"You didn't keep us waiting. We agreed on the evening, right? If you had come earlier, we wouldn't have finished handling our own affairs here." Wang Bin said.

"Director Yu, Wang Qiang, please, have a seat." Luo Xiao also came out to welcome them at this moment.

Soon, the four of them sat down at a square table.

"I have already notified the hotel, and they will send the prepared dishes over very soon." Wang Bin put down his phone and said slowly.

Their film crew had been staying at this hotel for a while, and they were considered familiar with the people at the hotel, so getting some conveniences was not a problem.

"Director Yu, when are you planning to leave Film City?" Luo Xiao raised his head and looked at Director Yu Zheng.

"Already some people have packed their things and left tonight. Tomorrow, all the members of the film crew will leave."

"After all, the movie has finished filming now, and we need to go back and hurry to edit the movie to make it in time for the Spring Festival release."

Director Yu Zheng briefly explained his schedule and then asked in return, "Director Luo, how much longer until [wandering blue star] finishes filming? Aren't you going to try to make it in time for the Spring Festival release?"

"We've calculated the shooting progress. We won't make it for the Spring Festival release, but the Lantern Festival release is no problem."

"I see. That's a bit of a pity. However, it's quite fortunate not to be releasing in the same window as your [wandering blue star]." Director Yu Zheng sighed, then thought of something and spoke slowly.

"By the way, I forgot one thing, and that is about Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang performed very well in the crew. Regarding the 0.5% box office share we discussed before, I am prepared to give 1.5% box office share."
