Chapter 760: Overestimating Them
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This Tan Jinsheng was too much. He just had to be so pretentious!
With such a temper, even if his big brother became a director in the future, even if he still had the support of his three seniors, he wouldn’t be able to go far in this line of work.
His three seniors had never seen someone as stubborn and inflexible as him.
To put it nicely, he was upright and had the temperament of an artist.
But Tan Jinsheng was not even famous yet, yet he had such a temper. To put it bluntly, he was being stubborn.
Ge Guangzhen thought about it and also gave up on the idea of befriending Tan Jinsheng.
What was there to befriend such a stubborn person?
If he had something to ask of him, he would have to just reject it.
“As expected, I’m unworthy of partic.i.p.ating in this program.” Tan Jinsheng said as he nodded his head.
Liu Jingshen said “Goodbye” and left with the Tan siblings.
Ge Guangzhen looked at the backs of these people and regretted it. Why did he decide to invite Tan Jinsheng back then?!
Chen Xinghan didn’t know how to face Ge Guangzhen now.
Ge Guangzhen’s change of att.i.tude just now was too sudden. He didn’t look as profound as he usually did.
His lackey att.i.tude was not much different from his own.
While Chen Xinghan was still in a trance, Ge Guangzhen had already adjusted his att.i.tude and returned to his usual self.
“We’re going back,” Ge Guangzhen said and laughed coldly. “Td like to see what program Tan Jinsheng has set his eyes on with such a temper.”
Chen Xinghan snapped out of his daze and quickly adjusted his mood. He quickly replied, “Then they’ll probably have to make their own show.”
Ge Guangzhen sneered and said jokingly, “Isn’t the Tan family rich? Who knows, they might really be able to make a show.”
“Hahahahahaha!”” Chen Xinghan laughed in agreement. “Making a show isn’t just about having money. I’m really looking forward to it.”
“You aren’t alone. I’m looking forward to it too,” Ge Guangzhen said as if he was watching a good show. “It’s best if they can produce one.”
“[ think you are overestimating them,” Chen Xinghan said fawningly, “How can you get a show done just because you have money? Even if they wanted to do it in the beginning, when they plan it out, they will discover the difficulties. In the end, they still have to find a suitable show to go on.”
“That expectation that Tan Jinsheng had… Did he think he can do whatever he want just because he’s from a rich family and have influential seniors? Did he think that there would be a show that would satisfy his demands?” Cheng Xinghan sneered.
“Hehe, young people are so proud and arrogant.” Ge Guangzhen pretended to sigh as he walked in. “They’re all like this because they haven’t been beaten up by society.”
Chen Xinghan followed suit. “Let him try a few more times, and he’ll know that you’re very polite to him, Director.”
Ge Guangzhen felt that Chen Xinghan’s words were very pertinent and pleasing to the ear.
His mood was much better when he imagined how Tan Jinsheng would suffer successive setbacks and finally realize the reality and know that what he said was right.

Tan Jinsheng and the other three left the place. Tan Jinsheng had originally wanted to have a meal with Liu Jingshen.
However, Liu Jingshen was called out from his seclusion by Liu Shengtai. He had to get back to it as soon as possible.
“When I officially come out of my seclusion, I’ll have a meal with you right away,” Liu Jingshen promised while patting Tan Jingshen on the shoulder.
Tan Jingshen knew the temper of his eldest senior.
‘As long as he was in seclusion, there were very few things that could make him come out of it.
His coming out of seclusion this time showed how important he viewed his youngest junior.
Now that the matter was settled, Liu Jingshen had no choice but to hurry back.
“Okay.” Tan Jinsheng nodded and agreed. “Senior, when will you be out?”
Liu Jingshen estimated for a while. “Next month. I’ll write the song first before going to work to discuss and decide on a song. If it’s not suitable, I’ll have to go back into seclusion again.”
So, after sending Liu Jingshen to the car, the Tan siblings also got in the car.
On the way, Tan Mo called Xu Das.h.i.+ while Tan Jingi drove.
“Iwas about to call your big brother too,” Xu Das.h.i.+ said with a smile.
“My Big Brother is beside me, but he is driving. Do you mind if I put you on speakerphone?” Tan Mo asked.
“Of course not. It’ll be convenient for us to talk together,” Xu Das.h.i.+ said.
Tan Mo turned on the speakerphone and turned up the volume.
Then, she heard Xu Das.h.i.+ say, “Director Tan, the company has been following up on the sales of watching ‘Broken Continent’ in advance. From 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., it’s been a total of 15 hours. The payment has already exceeded 100 million.”
Xu Das.h.i.+’s laughter rang out. “To be honest, I’m not exaggerating. This is the first time since I joined Kefeng Films that there have been so many people who paid to watch a show in advance!”
“If we’re talking about it as an overall, it might not be the highest. After all, ‘Broken Continent’only had four episodes for purchase. Unlike other dramas which had dozens of episodes. With so many episodes, even if the number of people paying for them wasn’t that many, it still acc.u.mulated to a
significant sum. However, if we’re talking about the number of people paying for a single episode and the price people pay for it, ‘Broken Continent is indeed the highest. Moreover, according to our statistics, it will very likely set the record. It will be a little difficult for later dramas to surpa.s.s the number
of people paying for a single episode.”
“This is enough to show that ‘Broken Continent’ is so good that the audience is willing to pay more and can’t wait to finish watching it!” Xu Das.h.i.+’s muscles were a little stiff from grinning, but he still couldn’t stop smiling, “Just the current data alone is enough to ask the television stations for a good
pric
“Director Tan, if you make this series into a movie, the box office won’t be a problem.” Xu Das.h.i.+ had already begun to consider the feasibility of developing a movie version for the show.
“This time, the earnings from the sales of the broadcasting rights to the television station will be counted as part of the profits. We’ll split it with you,” Xu Das.h.i.+ said.
Although they were a little shady when it came to splitting the profits, they didn’t dare to play tricks with Tan Jingi.
“Then which television station has higher chances of cooperation?” Tan Mo asked.
“speaking of which, it’s a little complicated,” Xu Das.h.i.+ said, “Kefeng Films recently intends to develop a singing variety show. It’s different from the talent shows Kefeng Films developed previously. We intend for it to compete with ‘Singing Voice’. However, if it’s only broadcasted on Kefeng Films’
platform, it won’t be able to achieve the goal of competing with ‘Singing Voice’, so we are thinking of cooperating with the television stations.”
“Because it’s a compet.i.tion against ‘Singing Voice’, it automatically removes Star Guest Station as an option. Currently, we’re in contact with Donghua Station and Star Glory Station, but we don’t want to let the television stations have the say for things, so we’re thinking of using ‘Broken Continent’ as a
bargaining chip,” Xu Das.h.i.+ told Tan Jingi and Tan Mo.
The copyright of ‘Broken Continent’ was currently in Kefeng Films’ hands. Xu Das.h.i.+’s ability to constantly update Tan Jingi and Tan Mo was already a considerable feat.
As for how Kefeng Films would use ‘Broken Continent’ to make a profit, Tan Jingi and Tan Mo did not have much say..
