Bright Era of China Entertainment

Los Angeles, after six o'clock in the afternoon, the golden sunset shines.

Concubine Liu Yi followed her mother, aunt, and uncle into the villa. She was very tired, and she had no intention of admiring the scenery along the way when she got off the plane and came by car. Now she just wants to sleep.

"Come and rest quickly, I can't even open your eyes." Zhou Wenqiong put down her luggage and walked upstairs with her shoulders.

Concubine Liu Yi had been to her aunt's house many times before, and she walked into the room on the second floor with her without feeling unfamiliar. This room was specially arranged for her to live in when she came to play with her mother in the past.

Zhou Wenqiong took a new quilt from the closet and spread it on the bed, saying: "Have a good sleep, adjust the jet lag, how about going to Hollywood tomorrow?"

"Okay." Concubine Liu Yi was weak, seeing her aunt close the door and leave, she took a set of pajamas from the suitcase, changed into them and went to bed.

Although I really want to sleep, there is one more thing to do before going to bed, which is to call Chu Xuan.

"Are you there?" Chu Xuan's voice came from the phone.

Hearing Chu Xuan's voice, Concubine Liu Yi felt relieved: "I've arrived at Auntie's house, what time is it?"

"9 o'clock in the morning." Chu Xuan said.

Concubine Liu Yi removed her phone and looked at it: "It's past six in the afternoon, 15 hours away."

She muttered, and said again: "Did you just get up?"

Chu Xuan said "yes": "Last night, I slept at six o'clock, and woke up at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. I fell asleep on the computer after playing for a while, and then got up."

"You are also a cow, and you slept for so long." Concubine Liu Yi was also convinced. Hearing what Chu Xuan said, it meant that Chu Xuan fell asleep after she got on the plane yesterday, and she has slept for fifteen hours until now.

"Playing all night, drinking all night and drinking all night, very tired." Chu Xuan said.

Concubine Liu Yi understood: "Well, I'm also very tired. After sleeping for a while on the plane, I was woken up by the shaking, and after sleeping for a while, I was woken up again. I'm so tired now."

"Then you have a good rest, I went to the company, Sister Hua said that the relationship is over for now, let me take care of things." Chu Xuan said.

Concubine Liu Yi laughed and asked, "Did the clothes hang out?"

Chu Xuan fell silent suddenly, and said after two seconds: "It's dry."

"You lied! You hesitated!" Concubine Liu Yi sat up from the bed and laughed angrily: "Chu Xuan, why are you doing this? The laundry was not dried in time, and it was piled up in the washing machine to spend the night on a hot day. It all stinks! I have to wash it again! I really convinced you, you are nothing without me!"

……

Beijing, the third floor of the big villa.

Chu Xuan answered the phone, with a smile on his face, he walked out of the bedroom quickly, and walked to the balcony of the laundry room next door.

I fell asleep after returning from the airport yesterday, but I really forgot about it.

"It's all about scolding, don't speak Northeast dialect, it's nothing, it's an accent." He joked, so that Concubine Liu Yi could calm down.

Concubine Liu Yi's laughter came from the phone: "Hurry up and wash it for me, let it dry before going to the company."

"Okay." Chu Xuan came to the balcony, and the plug of the washing machine was still plugged in. He put some washing powder in it and started the washing machine: "You should take a rest."

Hearing the "buzzing" sound of the washing machine, Concubine Liu Yi reassured: "Then I'm going to bed, and I'm going to Hollywood with my aunt tomorrow."

"Go to sleep, take some photos and send them to me during the few days of playing," Chu Xuan said.

"Yeah, good morning." Concubine Liu Yi said.

"Good night." Chu Xuan hung up the phone and turned to face outside the balcony.

I lay in the bedroom for almost a day, and I also turned on the air conditioner for a day. It is not bad to bask in the sun on the balcony.

The lawn and garden were peaceful and peaceful, and his heart also calmed down.

Whether Concubine Liu Yi is present or not is two moods and states of mind for him.

From passion to gentleness, the ups and downs are like a roller coaster. In fact, it is also good. The perception of life in a different way is always an experience that is difficult to experience.

It took 10 minutes for the "buzzing" sound to dissipate. Chu Xuan turned on the washing machine to dry the clothes one by one, put the clothes drying pole in the corner, and then went downstairs to the parking room and drove to the company.

"Brother." The elevator door opened, and Ning Hao was waiting for the elevator.

Ning Hao held the document in his hand, with a happy expression on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing Chu Xuan in the elevator, he smiled and bumped fists with Chu Xuan. I don't know when this fist bumping behavior started. It's like a kind of culture. Many men in the circle nowadays meet like this.

Chu Xuan glanced at the document, and saw not much content, but he also understood what was going on: "Crazy Racing" got the funding?"

Ning Hao nodded slightly: "800 million from the company, and 400 million from the third master of Huaying Group."

"1200 million." Chu Xuan nodded.

In 05, "Crazy Stone" received an investment of only 600 million yuan. Although prices have risen in all aspects in the past two years, there is far less room for doubling the increase.

Ning Hao had been preparing this script for more than a year and had no plans to start filming. It wasn't until he won several Huabiao Awards a few days ago that proved that he had more confidence.

Sister Hua and Han Sanping jointly invested 1200 million yuan, which can be regarded as paying for his confidence and achievements in the first film.

"Is it enough?" Chu Xuan asked casually.

Ning Hao teased: "Junior Brother, ask a director if he has enough money, and it will never be enough."

Chu Xuan smiled, but asked a nonsense question. For a director, no matter how much money he has, he would not dislike it.

"When will it be filmed?" he asked.

"Except for the starring role of Huang Bo, the rest of the actors have to be found, the crew has to be set up, and all localities have to discuss with the local departments about renting public places, and they also need to prepare for the launch conference. After this series is completed, it is estimated to be by the end of the year." Ning Ning Hao said.

"Shooting at the end of the year, including the shooting, post-production and publicity, the good schedule is estimated to be released in the next year." Chu Xuan estimated.

The shooting cycle of urban comedy movies is not long, and it may catch up with the National Day next year, and it will definitely catch up with the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival files.

However, most of the movies in these three periods and the companies behind them are ghosts and goblins. With Ning Hao's current reputation, bringing a low-budget movie to compete will definitely not be good.

The company's theater volume is not large, and it has not developed into a theater chain. Even if it is affiliated with Huaying Cinema, Huaying, as an official company, must abide by certain rules, and it is impossible to violate market laws and openly favor one side.

In this way, if the current Ning Hao wants to compete with other big investment movies, other theaters can beat him in terms of ranking.

Ning Hao thought the same way, and said, "Well, let's continue with May [-]st next year."

Chu Xuan nodded: "Tell me when the press conference is launched, and I'll come over when I'm free."

"Okay, let's go." Ning Hao walked into the elevator, and Chu Xuan walked towards the company.

The elevator door closed slowly, and Ning Hao said inside: "What the hell, Huang Bo can really drink, he drank so much yesterday, today Huang Lei asked him to go home and he wanted to continue drinking, and asked me to help Add to the fun."

Chu Xuan stopped, tilted his head and looked at him with a smile: "You can't drink with him, otherwise you will be the one who falls."

Ning Hao nodded repeatedly, and the elevator doors closed completely.

Chu Xuan walked into the company, and the two girls at the front desk stood up to greet him. He nodded slightly and came to the chairman's office.

Pushing open the door, Sister Hua and Li Ling sat opposite each other at the desk, talking about something.

Meeting the eyes of the two, Chu Xuan closed the door and walked in: "What are the two elder sisters talking about?"

Seeing Chu Xuan sitting down on the chair next to her, Li Ling said, "Mr. Chu is here to take care of things, but he was late on the first day."

Wang Jinhua smiled and got straight to the point: "Li Ling told me that Ning Hao's series of movies are about to start shooting, can you put a few actors in, let Su Chang, Jiang Xin, Chen He and the others act in gold-plated movies, and by the way give the movie Add some heat."

"It's not necessary." Chu Xuan shook his head: "It's fine to choose which actors and let Ning Hao decide for himself. Why should we interfere? If Su Chang and the others are right, Ning Hao will definitely let them act as soon as possible. That’s just worrying about it.”

"Same as I said." Wang Jinhua nodded.

"President Chu taught you the right thing." Li Ling admitted his mistake.

"Sister Cod, can you be normal?" Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing, this Li Cod and Mrs. Li Yuxi like to tease him, they are indeed sisters, and they have similar personalities in this respect. Of course, this is just a kind of life of a simple sister to a younger brother on fun.

Li Ling looked at him, and changed the subject: "Have you noticed one more thing, Huang Xuan, Li Ying and Tian Zhen have... a sense of disagreement."

This made Chu Xuan a little bit astonished, and looked at Sister Hua.

Wang Jinhua crossed her hands on the table and said, "Yesterday, I saw Huang Xuan hesitate to speak in front of me. It seems that there is a gap between him and Tian Zhen in the communication. Do you know the reason?"

Chu Xuan frowned and thought, except for Concubine Liu Yi's birthday yesterday, he hadn't seen Yang Tianzhen for a while before, so he didn't know about this situation.

Artists and managers disagree?This is quite a serious matter.

Thinking about it, Huang Xuan definitely didn't explain the situation bluntly, even if he wanted to say it, he should tell his master as soon as possible.

He doesn't know where Sister Hua and Sister Bai saw it, but when it comes to the reason, he can only think of one question: "Tian Zhen is good at marketing, and I have seen it since he was my assistant managing my post bar. , Huang Xuan's personality is introverted and quite calm, and he doesn't like this way of becoming famous, so it's reasonable for the two to have a estrangement."

Wang Jinhua nodded, this is also the result of her discussion with Li Lingang: "Then what do you think should be done, the manager and the artist seem to be in harmony, this is a big problem, and Huang Xuan and Li Ying are still your apprentices."

Chu Xuan was lost in thought, Yang Tianzhen was right, Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying were right, it was a matter of disagreement.

He didn't expect that Sister Hua would throw him a difficult problem as soon as he came to the office.

Yang Tianzhen is Sister Hua's apprentice, Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying are his apprentices, a dispute between apprentices?

This is too much thinking, with the relationship between him and Sister Hua, the word "struggle" cannot be used to describe this matter.

Chu Xuan was startled suddenly, and thought of something: "In Hengcheng, when Qianqian and I went to the crew of "Legend of Sword and Sword 3" to fulfill the contract and take pictures to help announce it, Cai Yinong said that he wanted Tang Ren to sign a film and television contract with us. The point is Only sign movies."

Wang Jinhua and Li Ling looked at each other, they didn't expect such a thing.

"She thinks too much. All we want to do are blockbusters. My family is waiting. She Tang Ren can't provide any help, so she wants to intervene. It's a beautiful idea." Li Ling expressed disdain for Cai Yinong's idea.

Wang Jinhua didn't speak, but just looked at Chu Xuan. She knew that Chu Xuan must have a different idea when he brought up such a topic.

"Cai Yinong is also good at marketing." Chu Xuan said.

"She is good at marketing and shutting us down..." Li Ling suddenly stopped talking. Although Chu Xuan didn't say much, she probably thought of something in the words, and said in astonishment: "You don't think..."

Chu Xuan looked at her, and said to Sister Hua, "Tian Zhen's way of cultivating artists is different from ours, and she cannot develop artists in the long-term."

"Marketing has advantages and disadvantages. We don't take this path, but we cannot deny the benefits it brings."

"Acquiring or merging Tang Ren to become Bright Times' branch in Shenghai, let Tian Zhen go and Cai Yinong take control. The two people's ideas are absolutely compatible."

Li Ling was in a daze. She only thought that Chu Xuan wanted Tian Zhen to join Tang Ren to find another way out, but she didn't expect that Chu Xuan wanted to buy Tang Ren and let Tian Zhen control it. This made her a little unable to keep up with Chu Xuan's thinking rhythm. .

"Continue." Wang Jinhua murmured thoughtfully. She somewhat understood Chu Xuan's intentions, but she was still unclear.

Chu Xuan crossed his legs and said: "The actors trained by our head office all follow the powerful route. Sister Hua and I did not look down on popular stars when we formulated this route, but it is in line with our development of the route of creating high-quality film and television dramas. "

"What we ultimately want to create are movie actors. Actors with a certain level of performance are part of the composition of high-quality movies. I don't believe in the nonsense that box office appeal depends on popularity. Brother Chenglong's movie market is about to collapse, so I don't believe that statement."

"I only believe that quality scripts, quality directors, quality actors, quality post-processing, and a perfectly matched film and television industry can form quality movies."

"A good actor is an integral part of it."

Wang Jinhua and Li Ling listened, they recognized this very much, and their company was also heading in this direction.

"However, popularity is also very important. It can relieve a lot of pressure on the publicity and distribution of film and television dramas, and it can also reduce the pressure on funds. If you are popular, the media will help you promote it spontaneously, and we don't need to waste too much money. .”

Wang Jinhua and Li Ling nodded, which is also true.

Chu Xuan put down his raised legs, and said, "So, there are several purposes for my idea."

"First, let Tian Zhen and Cai Yinong market them. How to cultivate artists has nothing to do with our head office. If they are good, then quickly market the artists one by one to become famous. There are also good benefits."

"Secondly, a film needs many roles, and the requirements for actors are different. We will choose qualified ones to sign film and television contracts. The people in the branch company are also half of our own. Suffer."

"Thirdly, Tian Zhen has changed from the current general manager to Tang Ren as the vice president or general manager. Without our restraint, she will have more room to display her talents, and she will be promoted. She must be very happy. "

"At the same time, Huang Xuan and Su Chang broke away from Tian Zhen's staff, and they were trained by Sister Bai's unified planning or by finding an agent who fits our company's artist development philosophy. They have long-term plans and avoid future marketing problems The troubles caused by the black material, you can settle down to polish your acting skills and follow our company's boutique development route."

"Fourth, the value of Tang Ren Film and Television is not high. We don't need to spend a lot of money to have a branch in Shenghai to develop in parallel. At the same time, we also have an additional artist channel to choose our own talent, which is also in line with Cai Yinong's idea of ​​film and television cooperation. .”

"Taking this as a lesson, if everything goes well, we can use the same method for mergers and acquisitions in the future. Baodao, Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia, even Europe and the United States, etc. can all follow this method. What is missing now is the 0 to 1 process and experience. accumulation."

Wang Jinhua picked up the thermos cup and twisted the lid.

"Boss Chu doesn't care about things, and when he comes to manage things, he manages a big thing." She smiled at Li Bai, with a hint of humor in her tone.

Li Ling squinted his eyes and nodded slightly.

What Chu Xuan said can be said to be the company's future expansion route, which is indeed a major event.

But what Chu Xuan said was in line with what the company could do, and she could inadvertently come up with a preliminary development framework, which also made her admire Chu Xuan's strategic vision.

And between the lines in these words, it not only resolved the matter between Yang Tianzhen and the artist, but also used Yang Tianzhen and Cai Yinong to the extreme. big plus.

"Now is not a good time." Wang Jinhua took a sip of water.

"We are the ones to produce the movie "Soldiers at the City". If the response is good after the release, it means that our company has taken a strong step in the film industry. As long as she is ambitious, it will not be difficult for Tang Ren to become our branch company. She has no reason to refuse the offer." Opportunity, after all, the management of the company is still in her hands." Li Ling said.

"Yes, this cooperation is not difficult to achieve. Tang Ren is not Huayi, so he doesn't have much background." Chu Xuan nodded.

"However, I heard that Cai Yinong's management methods and character..." Li Ling looked at Chu Xuan and shook his head. He understood the meaning even before he finished speaking.

"Her character has nothing to do with us." Chu Xuan spread his hands and said: "From our point of view, what we see is whether she can bring us benefits and whether she can adapt to the development of our head office. We have nothing to do."

"We don't intervene in how they run the company. We only need a veto as a guarantee for possible wrong decisions."

"I don't interfere with the operation of your company, but you have to follow my code of conduct. If you shouldn't do it, you can't do it."

"If someone's behavior has caused irreversible negative impacts on Brilliant Times, we can use our influence to unite with some shareholders to get rid of them and replace them with others. It's as simple as that."

Seeing Chu Xuan's decisive look, Li Ling couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Mr. Chu is domineering."

Wang Jinhua glanced at Chu Xuan. His younger brother left his sister-in-law and changed his status one after the other, which is also very interesting: "A year ago, Cai Yinong would come to the company to discuss with me the announcement plan of "Sword 3". When the time comes to find out what she has to say, Xiaoxuan's idea is quite good, rather than start from scratch in a newly established company, it is indeed better to directly merge or acquire a ready-made one."

Li Ling looked at the phone, and something happened in the text message, she got up and said, "The two bosses are chatting, I will go over and finalize a few endorsements."

Under the eyes of Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua, Li Ling left the office.

"Look." Wang Jinhua handed over a document, which was related to variety shows.

Chu Xuan took it and looked through it. (end of this chapter)
