"The premiere time has been moved to five or six in the afternoon?"
Fu Shan frowned upon hearing this.
That time slot was a complete waste.
Not good enough to eat, but a shame to throw away.
Even with the influence of Xiangnan Satellite TV, it wouldn't amount to much.
"Talk to them again. We need to secure a premiere during the evening prime time for Legend of the Magic Sword. If that doesn't work, we can wait. Tell them it's fine to premiere Legend of the Magic Sword after Romantic Love has finished airing."
Fu Shan pondered.
Although he was quite critical of Xiangnan Satellite TV's flip-flopping, he still wanted to communicate and negotiate with them to solve the problem at this time.
"Uncle Jiang, could you make an appointment with Xiangnan Satellite TV? I'll go there in person to have a good talk with them."
Forget it. He should go there himself and finalize this matter with Xiangnan Satellite TV.
"Alright, President Fu, I'll contact Xiangnan Satellite TV right away."
Jiang Jinsong nodded in agreement.
That night, Fu Shan and Jiang Jinsong took a night flight to Xiangnan City, where Xiangnan Satellite TV was located.
The next morning, early, Fu Shan, accompanied by Jiang Jinsong, arrived at the Xiangnan Satellite TV broadcasting building.
Then, they were led by a staff member to a certain meeting room. After saying, "Wait here for a moment," the staff member left without a word.
However, they waited from nine in the morning until nearly noon. During that time, Fu Shan and Jiang Jinsong didn't see a single person.
In the small meeting room, only Fu Shan and Jiang Jinsong were left, staring at each other.
"Uncle Jiang, are you sure you and Director Li agreed to meet at nine in the morning?"
Fu Shan glanced at his watch, seeing the hour hand nearing noon. He turned to Jiang Jinsong, his voice level as he asked.
"Of course! I clearly arranged it with that old man on the phone yesterday. We were to meet at nine in the morning."
Unlike Fu Shan's calm demeanor, Jiang Jinsong was visibly angry.
He took his phone out of his pocket.
"President Fu, I'll call Li Deming again!"
Jiang Jinsong immediately dialed a number. Soon, the dial tone echoed, but no one answered.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
The familiar automated voice echoed from the other end of the phone, and the next second, the call was automatically disconnected.
"No answer again!"
Jiang Jinsong frowned, unable to help but curse under his breath.
He'd tried calling Li Deming before, hoping to ask when the man planned to come and meet.
But no matter how many times he called, the calls always went unanswered, eventually resulting in the same "number unavailable" message, followed by an immediate hang-up.
"The phone's not going through, and no one's even bothered to let us know. Are we just supposed to sit here all day?"
Jiang Jinsong mumbled, feeling incredibly frustrated.
His face couldn't help but show a trace of anger:
Li Deming, this guy, is really too much!
And just as Jiang Jinsong was secretly cursing in his heart, outside the meeting room, a burst of footsteps came from afar and then grew closer. The next moment, a short, fat middle-aged man, escorted by a group of subordinates, slowly walked into this small meeting room.
"Director Li, you've finally deigned to come!"
Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Jinsong couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
That's right, the late, short, fat middle-aged man was none other than Li Deming, the director of the Film and Television Department of Xiangnan Satellite TV, who was in charge of programming and related matters.
"Sorry, I've been really busy. Old Jiang, sorry to have kept you waiting. Haha."
Li Deming nodded perfunctorily at Jiang Jinsong, smiling.
As he spoke, he unceremoniously sat down on the chair opposite Jiang Jinsong and Fu Shan.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinsong couldn't help but frown, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and respectfully raised his hand to point at Fu Shan beside him:
"Director Li, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Fu, the investor and producer from Ai Fei Film and Television Production Company for our Legend of the Magic Sword. Mr. Fu wants to discuss the premiere time of Legend of the Magic Sword with you in detail."
Fu Shan was about to speak when he was abruptly interrupted by Li Deming.
"There's no need to discuss this anymore, is there? Didn't I already arrange for Legend of the Magic Sword to air at five or six in the afternoon?"
"Oh, right!"
At this point, Li Deming seemed to remember something. He beckoned to a staff member, who immediately understood and respectfully handed a contract to Li Deming.
Li Deming directly took the contract and unceremoniously tossed it towards Fu Shan and Jiang Jinsong.
"This is our station's film purchase contract. Sign it quickly. After you sign it, Xiangnan Satellite TV can start scheduling your specific broadcast time. Don't worry! The drama currently airing in the afternoon is almost over. Your Legend of the Magic Sword will be premiering soon."
Li Deming raised his head haughtily, speaking in a tone that was almost condescending.
Seeing his attitude, Jiang Jinsong was almost amused.
Then he looked at the purchase price indicated on the contract, and Jiang Jinsong just wanted to curse.
"A flat price of ten million, to buy out the permanent copyright and exclusive broadcasting rights for Legend of the Magic Sword? Li Deming, you might as well rob a bank!"
Even though he prided himself on his composure, Jiang Jinsong could no longer restrain himself. He completely lost it and glared at Li Deming, who had an arrogant expression.
He didn't even bother to call him "Director Li" anymore, directly addressing him by name. It was clear that Jiang Jinsong was truly furious.
He was very angry.
At the same time, although Fu Shan still maintained a calm expression, neither happy nor angry, he was actually amused by Li Deming's overbearing contract.
What? To buy out the permanent copyright and exclusive broadcasting rights for Legend of the Magic Sword?
And to buy it for a mere ten million? Ha, he found that this Li Deming was quite something – he was dreaming!
He had spent more than ten million on post-production for this drama alone, okay? This Li Deming really dared to think.
That's just beautiful!
Seeing Li Deming glaring at him, Fu Shan immediately became angry. He slammed his hand on the table and snorted, nostrils flaring:
"Old Jiang, you're being unreasonable. Ten million is already a lot. I'm doing this because we're friends for many years, otherwise, our station wouldn't buy this Legend of the Magic Sword. Don't even think about this show being broadcast on Xiangnan Satellite TV. Hmph, don't you understand the meaning of knowing your place?!"
