The reason Penguin Film and Television hadn't snatched up *All is Well* right away was that they felt the show simply wasn't worth 500 million. The same went for iQiyi. Otherwise, they would have secured it in the first round, so why wait for a sales conference?
However, they and iQiyi had already come to an agreement to minimize their losses by splitting the cost of the show.
While their rivalry was very real, they could make a tactical exception for a drama like this, which they were mainly interested in for its award potential. Their plan was to have a tacit understanding and lowball Midday Sunshine by 100 million.
Midday Sunshine wanted to turn things around with this sales conference? 'In their dreams.'
Besides the two of them, no one would spend that kind of money on this show. The price was just too high.
Of course, if this Chen Jincheng was so confident that he was willing to spend 500 million, then they had nothing to say to that.
