Chapter 388: Everything Goes Smoothly

“Recruit them into Boring Short Video?”

Li Shen murmured softly, as this idea had never crossed his mind before.

“That’s right, recruit them into Boring Short Video.”

Chen Mo nodded.

Secretly thinking to himself, once they join Boring Short Video, they become part of the Boring Short Video team.

Since they’re part of Boring Short Video, they should abide by Boring Short Video’s rules, which means they can no longer continue their promotional activities.

Wouldn’t this indirectly stop the promotion?

Li Shen nodded subconsciously, but quickly realized something.

“President Chen, if they join Boring Short Video, will they still be able to promote?”

“Of course not. This is Boring Short Video’s policy. Even talented individuals cannot violate it.”

Chen Mo glanced casually at Li Shen. This sly old fox, still thinking about promotion at a time like this.

It seems you’ll be leading the next batch of impoverished elderly transfers.

Learn from Wei Yan’s example—he hasn’t caused any trouble for quite some time.

“But what about the promotion…”

Li Shen spoke with concern. It wasn’t easy to find such an effective promotion method. If it were to disappear just like that, it would truly be a pity.

“Do you think talent is more important, or promotion? Promotion can happen anytime, but talent—once missed, might be gone forever. Do you understand?”

Chen Mo casually offered an explanation.

“Alright, I’ll contact them after I return. But what if they don’t want to join Boring Short Video?”

Li Shen suddenly grew worried.

With an income of over twenty thousand just from four hours of live streaming per day, who would choose to work a regular job?

“If they’re unwilling to join, it’s simply because the benefits aren’t attractive enough. Increase the benefits, and they’ll join.”

“Alright, it’s settled then. Handle this as soon as possible.”

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

“Understood, President Chen.”

Li Shen nodded in agreement. At that moment, he suddenly realized why the report was crumpled.

It was probably because Chen Mo was disappointed that he had overlooked the talent.

Watching Li Shen leave, Chen Mo smiled faintly.

As long as the students from the Teacher-training university were recruited into Boring Short Video, the promotion issue would be resolved effortlessly.

Of course, this was only a temporary solution. Someday, another overly enthusiastic streamer might voluntarily promote Boring Short Video.

But he would deal with that when it happened.

At least for now, it could slow down the spread of Boring Short Video.

Chen Mo thought to himself, set aside the slightly crumpled report, and pressed the call button for the Blue Film Studio Manager’s Office.

He also needed to arrange matters for the Elderly Song and Dance Troupe.

This was another excellent way to spend money. Since it was a song and dance troupe, there would be expenses for rehearsal instructors, rehearsal venues, performance props, and many other things.

Not long after,

Luo Xiao knocked and entered the office.

“President Chen.”

“Let’s talk over here.”

Chen Mo stood up and led Luo Xiao to the reception area by the floor-to-ceiling window. He plugged in the tea set and brewed a pot of tea.

“How are things with the movie? Is everything progressing smoothly?”

“Reporting to President Chen, editing has already begun, and special effects are also in production. So far, everything seems to be going smoothly.”

Luo Xiao quickly replied.

After discussing special effects with Fang Chang in the cafeteria last time, Fang Chang had arranged a meeting that very evening with the highly skilled special effects production team.

After some negotiations, both parties reached an agreement.

Special effects production had now officially begun.

“Is that so!”

Chen Mo nodded with some disappointment, then immediately put the movie matter out of his mind. After all, it was a bad film. Even if it were released and generated box office revenue, it wouldn’t be much and wouldn’t significantly impact his settlement.

“I called you here today to discuss a new arrangement.”

“Please go ahead, President Chen.”

Luo Xiao quickly straightened his posture.

“I plan to establish an Elderly Song and Dance Troupe and need you to handle its formation.”

“The members will be selected from the impoverished elderly we’ve brought over from across the country.”

Chen Mo spoke slowly as he poured a cup of tea for Luo Xiao.

Luo Xiao hurriedly took the teacup and took a small sip.

“President Chen, approximately how many members should the Elderly Song and Dance Troupe have?”

“There’s no fixed number. As long as they meet the conditions to join the Elderly Song and Dance Troupe, they can be included. The criteria must be strict. We need to hire several professional instructors to make the selection. Additionally, the elderly should be taken to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up to identify any underlying health issues that might make them unsuitable for joining the troupe.”

“By the way, the health check-ups should be conducted for all elderly who come here. Coordinate with Jiang Cheng from the Clothing Factory and Pang Tao from the Pet Park regarding this matter.”

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

The impoverished elderly who were brought in basically had only three destinations: the Clothing Factory, Pet Park, and the Elderly Song and Dance Troupe.

Therefore, the medical examination arrangements could be handled collectively by these three departments.

The medical examination was indeed very necessary. Having lived in impoverished mountainous areas, these elderly people inevitably suffered from various health issues to some extent. After the examination, treatments could be administered precisely according to the results.

The treatment costs would naturally be covered by the System Funds.

This approach not only utilized the System Funds but also ensured the elderly’s good health.

“I understand, President Chen.”

Luo Xiao nodded.

“Good. In that case, go ahead with the preparations. But while preparing for the Elderly Song and Dance Troupe, don’t neglect the preparations for the new film. For the troupe, you can appropriately find a leader—no need to take full responsibility.”

Chen Mo added a reminder.

The new film was related to a spending channel before settlement and couldn’t be overlooked.

“Understood.”

Luo Xiao finished the tea in his hand and stood up to leave the office.

Back in his office, after checking the progress of the Demon Slayer Chronicles film editing, he shifted his focus to the Elderly Song and Dance Troupe assigned by President Chen.

After President Chen gave the assignment, he had agreed without hesitation.

But now, thinking about it, what was the use of this Elderly Song and Dance Troupe?

Would anyone really watch a group of elderly people perform? Probably not.

If that was the case,

how could the Elderly Song and Dance Troupe generate profit?

If it couldn’t make a profit, then establishing this troupe would just be a money-losing venture, wouldn’t it?

Luo Xiao rubbed his temples, momentarily puzzled.

He picked up his phone to check the time and saw it was almost noon—just a few minutes until 12 o’clock.

Lunchtime was approaching.

After a moment’s thought, he stood up and headed out. Since he couldn’t figure it out himself, he might as well ask the person in the company who understood President Chen best.

As he pushed open his office door,

Wang Bin also emerged from another office.

“How’s the film editing going?”

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

Ever since the film editing started, Wang Bin had been overseeing the process.

As the lead actor in this film, he naturally knew which parts of the plot were crucial and what kind of effect they ultimately wanted to achieve.

So, with Wang Bin overseeing it, the editing of this film could be perfected even more.
