City People [Rebirth]

The media industry is still not very optimistic about Lu Jia taking over Lu Li Film and Television Media.

At this time, Luli Film and Television Media Company's biggest rival and competitor Youyu Film and Television Company felt so.

These two are the biggest rivals in the industry. If you open an entertainment show today, I will also open it tomorrow. If you launch an innocent group, I have to launch a girl group. Anyway, I will do better than you. Okay, otherwise, what if we fall behind by one step and step by step?

When Lu Wenlin opened this company before, he relied on the credit of the company's predecessor, Lu Li Records. With Lu Wenlin's ability, he was actually just a conservative owner. However, the company is already a giant, and the professional managers hired are also very capable. Knowing people is good, under his control, no matter what the Yuyou Company tried, it didn't shake Lu Li's position in the industry.

Now that the company has changed its personal management, and the person in charge is still a kid who just graduated from college, Youyu Company will be very happy.

You Anhong, Chairman of Youyu Company, and Mu Shu, President, are in the office right now, opening a bottle of red wine to celebrate.

You Anhong shook the red wine glass, looked at the charming wine inside, and seemed to be regretful: "Lu Wenlin is also an idiot, I have read the information on his son, he is very smart, he always comes first in exams, but the university The major has nothing to do with our industry, let alone people who basically don’t go to school, and open restaurants on their own. Is it nonsense to take over the company by yourself instead of teaching him first?"

"I've heard that Lu Wenlin loves his son and is reluctant to discipline him. Now that he has a little daughter, it's not enough to watch at home every day. If the company doesn't give a son, can he give it to someone who has no blood relationship? This just happens to be cheap for us."

"Don't worry about whether Lu Jia will manage the company or not. We can't expect him to be a mediocre person. But this is just a good opportunity for You Yu. When they are handing over from old to new, Lu Jia is not familiar with Lu Li. , we take advantage of the momentum to pursue, and we will fight together, as long as we gain a slight advantage, we will be able to expand this advantage step by step, and finally step on them!"

"cheers!"

Two red wine glasses clinked in the air, and the two managers of Youyu Film and Television Media Company looked at each other with satisfaction, and they both smiled happily.

……

Lu Jia knew that many people in the industry and gossip reporters were not optimistic about him.It has only been a month since he officially took office, and many people have already bad-mouthed Lu Li's company under his leadership, and many of them have analyzed Lu Li's personnel changes in a worried tone, calling it "the hasty handover of the family business is against irresponsible performance of shareholders”.

Whether it's black or a passer-by, you don't need to entrust a special public opinion analysis agency to distinguish clearly.

To be honest, these words can't touch Lu Jia at all.Compared with the accusations and criticisms he suffered when he took over Lu Li in his previous life with a high school degree and never received an elite education, it is completely inequalable.

In his previous life, he didn't feel anything, and he slapped them in the face. Of course, he in this life will not be affected.However, Lu Jia still acted shamelessly in front of Zhou Heyi and ate a tofu.Zhou Heyi's small appearance that was obviously worried about him, but turned around and satirized him, was very attractive.

Lu Jia took over Lu Li in this life four years later than in his previous life.But these four years had no effect on Lu Jia.When he was in college, he had been paying attention to the operation of Luli Company, and compared it with his previous life all the time.In the four years without him in this life, the development of Lu Li's company has changed a lot from his previous life.The overall operation is in a good direction, but some items that will change according to the preferences of the controllers have changed.

Four years later, the entertainment industry was still the one Lu Jia remembered, but the development of Lu Li's movies and TV shows, entertainment programs, and artists under his umbrella had changed a lot.

For example, Zhang Weiwei, the director of the movie "Under the River" that Lu Jia and Zhou Heyi went to see for the first time, wanted to transform from a literary film to a commercial film. Most of the budget reported by the board of directors was cut off by the board of directors. Lu Jia supported him in his previous life. With the burning of funds, his transformational work, the science fiction film "Above the Sky" was a great success, but without Lu Jia in this life, Zhang Weiwei had to change the script and lower the standard of special effects because the funds were only the standard of ordinary commercial films. Although "Above the Sky" is also a bestseller at home and abroad, its influence is not as great as it used to be. common status.

Lu Jia and Zhou Heyi went to see the premiere of the film "Above the Sky". Compared with the film in the previous life, the script is still ghostly and charming, and Mu Si'an's acting skills have also exploded, but the level of special effects is also the first-class level in China , when I watched it, I was intoxicated by it, and when I watched it, I couldn’t help but think that it would be better if the special effects were more realistic, so this flaw was repeatedly repeated by fans, and Zhang Weiwei also endured it on Weibo. He couldn't help revealing his stubbornness and sourness as a director of literary films in the past, and bluntly attacked the official blog of Aite Luli Film and Television Media, saying that laymen on the board of directors guided experts and ruined his films.

However, for Lu Jia, Zhang Weiwei's remarks are very inappropriate.

The catering company earns today’s money today, and the benefits are real, but the film and television industry is not good, the cash flow is too large, and the money is taken up by the advance payment. Don’t say that what you may earn today is the money of yesterday and the day before yesterday. It's spent, and I don't know when I can earn it back.The investment is large and the payback period is long, but if you encounter a good project, the profit will be staggering, so this industry must be an industry played by people with big hearts.

Every time the board of directors approves an advance payment, it has to take risks. This not only considers the interests of shareholders, but also the interests of the entire company.Who knows that a certain project will flutter and make money?Don't the board of directors know that there are many examples of high investment but Waterloo in film history, and low investment but salty fish turned around? They don't know that there are directors and actors who were not expected to suddenly become famous. example?Of course they know, but the future is not written in every movie script, and everyone can't see the future results. If they invest heavily every time and can't tell whether they should bet or not, the company will collapse long ago.

Zhang Weiwei only proceeds from his personal gains and losses, but does not consider the interests of the company. This is the real layman guiding the experts.He could have followed this bumper harvest to get more investment and support from Luli Film and Television Media Company, but he directly fought with the board of directors on Weibo. Although Weibo was quickly deleted, there are still many of his comments. Fans and troublemakers rushed to Lu Li's official blog to scold him, and they could say all kinds of ugly things. The board of directors didn't want to argue with him, and there was no punishment on the surface, but they were already disappointed.

The gap between literary films and commercial films is so deep, Zhang Weiwei's first transformational work is to make big productions, the budget approved by the board of directors is already the budget of the first-class domestic big productions, and it is also fully supported in theaters and publicity. Great trust was paid.This time they looked away, but they didn't know that Zhang Weiwei was so dissatisfied.After that, the projects reported by Zhang Weiwei should be approved and refuted, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he has lost the support of the company. His movie released last year received lukewarm response and was not popular in the market. There were too many sparks on it.

The reason why Lu Jia thought of Zhang Weiwei was because Lu Jia, who was gradually taking over the business of the company, was looking through the materials of artists, directors, hosts, etc. signed by the company. According to Zhang Weiwei's information, the opinion of the board of directors is not to renew the contract.

Lu Jia picked up the pen and signed the word "Agree".

This Zhang Weiwei was killed by his own recklessness.Maybe he will switch to other film and television companies, or open his own studio, but no matter how many achievements he will make and how many awards he will win, Lu Li Film and Television Media Company will not have the slightest regret.Lu Li cherishes talents and is willing to give them ample room for development, but that doesn't mean he should hold his own face under the feet of others.

Don't bully young people to be poor and show off when they return to their hometowns. It was originally just a personal self-consolation.The huge Luli company has a lot of talents under it, and there is no shortage of this kind of talent.

But Mu Si'an, Lu Jia had to keep him.

Zhang Weiwei's "Above the River" made Mu Si'an his first actor. Before that, Mu Si'an was not well-known even though he took over the male lead of several TV series with his own strength.Many times, for an actor to become famous, he not only needs to rely on his own strength, but also needs to cooperate with a good script and an excellent director. Qualifications and word of mouth speak.

Mu Si'an's appearance is the kind that looks more and more brilliant, very charming, but this kind of charm is not superficial, nor creamy, and it cannot be popular simply because of his looks, and although the TV series he received have a good reputation, they have not received any ratings. The kind with a high rate.Zhang Weiwei is kind to him, and Mu Si'an is very good at repaying his kindness. In his previous life, as long as Zhang Weiwei needed him, he would squeeze out his time to participate in the performance no matter what.

Unfortunately, although the two signed contracts at different times, the expiration time was only five months apart. Lu Jia was very worried that Mu Si'an would resolutely choose to leave with Zhang Weiwei.

If Zhang Weiwei has the heart, he must know the attitude of the board of directors towards him, and maybe he will start to win over the team now, and Lu Jia knows Mu Si'an very well. The kind of actor who is gifted.His kind of talent is not a blockbuster that shocks the audience in an instant, but a spring breeze with a strong appeal and field control ability. It would be a pity if such a talent was poached by Zhang Weiwei.

Lu Jia asked Li Jiajun to arrange a meeting with Mu Si'an, and the meeting place was in his office.

……

Lu Li changed the chairman and president. Not only ordinary employees were talking about it, but even the artist was secretly exchanging various gossip.

After all, this entertainment film and television company is different from ordinary companies, and the nature of artists is different from ordinary employees.Let’s talk about unspoken rules. Each film and television company’s acceptance is different. When Lu Wenlin was here, everyone knew that he was a good family man because he kept himself clean. He also looked down on unspoken rules, so Lu Li Artists in the company, even if they want to use their bodies to get ahead, they have to hide it from the company. Whether the manager agrees or not, whether they will report it is also a problem, anyway, it can't be done on the surface.But Youyu Film and Television Company is different. Although they didn't expressly hint to let everyone go, but this default attitude speaks for itself. Youyu's brother and sister do a lot of things when they go out to accompany drinks. The members of the board of directors and the upper management are not rarely accompanied by artists on the trip.

Besides, everyone knows that the new president is a young man with a handsome appearance. What is his attitude towards this kind of thing?Young people are always greedy and lustful, and he has such a beautiful female secretary. People don't know where they heard about it. They say it's the boss, but they have been to the secretary's house many times. Isn't there such a thing? .Moreover, maybe the president is also chasing stars. If he is chased, of course there will be a lot of benefits.

So this good-looking man couldn't help but think about it.Some were afraid that the president would make unreasonable demands on them, and they didn't know how to deal with them. Others were imaginative and wanted to take advantage of it. Anyway, Lu Jia was so handsome that he didn't suffer.This kind of thing, even the actor and actress couldn't help but grope in his heart.All of a sudden, the artists were secretly asking, did the new president meet with any artist?Men and women, what do they look like?

Under such circumstances, Mu Si'an became the first artist Lu Jia summoned.

Li Jiajun directly approached his agent to convey this opinion, so only Mu Si'an's agents Zhu Zhaozhen and Mu Si'an knew about it, and they dared not speak out.

Zhu Zhaozhen is a female manager. For the convenience of management and communication, most of her subordinates are female artists. Mu Si'an is one of the few male artists under her staff. Zhu Zhaozhen signed him because Mu Si'an is well-behaved and gentle, and never causes trouble. There are no scandals, and I stay at home when there is no announcement.Knowing that the president wanted to see Mu Si'an, she hurried to Mu Si'an's house to discuss with him, wondering what the president's summoning meant, but she couldn't figure it out no matter what.

In terms of appearance, Mu Si'an is not considered top-notch in the entertainment circle of beautiful men and women. In terms of status, although he has won an actor, his qualifications are still young and he is not a big name.But Zhu Zhaozhen had a way to know that Mu Si'an was the first artist the president wanted to meet.

So what is it for?
