Chapter 295

~35 min read 6,826 words

9:00 PM on September 13, Beiping time, Ideal International Building, Wenjie Holdings Headquarters.

The floor of the subsidiary New Vision was still brightly lit, and the core management sat in the conference room, their expressions solemn.

Dong Shuangqiang coughed lightly and set the tone for today's enlarged meeting: "The budget of 300 million in total advertising revenue made by the station at the beginning of the year still has a gap of at least 80 million; we are about to enter the fourth quarter, so everyone, let's talk about it."

Long Danni, as the executive vice station head, was duty-bound: "The gap... is mainly in the title sponsorship fee and concurrent advertisements for 'The Voice'."

Once these words were spoken, everyone in this variety show iron army newly formed by Wenjie through "Super Girl" last year felt the pressure.

The prime time of Travel Satellite TV had good shows one after another, and the seasonal theater was also a domestic pioneer; the advertising bidding for the front and back time slots had exceeded expectations as early as the beginning of the year.

Only the "The Voice" project, which was just launched this year, had already passed four episodes; besides the steadily increasing ratings and good reputation, there had been no achievements in the title sponsorship fee.

Compared with the total advertising revenue of 80 million for "Super Girl" last year, and then compared with the title sponsorship fee of about 45 million for the castrated version of "Happy Girl" on Hunan TV this year...

The current highest quote for the title sponsorship fee for "The Voice" was only 40 million, and it was directly rejected by Boss Lu, who signaled to negotiate further.

Seeing that the total process of the program had already passed 1/4, the program team and the variety show team were anxious from top to bottom.

Actually, the most depressed person was Dong Shuangqiang.

Originally, at the premiere of "Genius Gunner," he had agreed to invite the popular young star Liu Yifei to participate in an episode to divert traffic like "Super Girl" last year.

Unexpectedly, after the 825 Yifei incident, she directly handled a long-term study visa and went to North America not long after.

What to do...

Long Danni, who was in charge of "Super Girl" last year, ate the dividend of Liu Yifei's popularity, and of course, this year was the same idea: "Boss Dong, I have a proposal."

"Go ahead."

"For this week's recording, shall we connect with Liu Yifei?"

"Oh? Tell me your thoughts."

Long Danni smiled: "Everyone here is our own people, so I won't hide the illness."

"The program mode and creativity of 'The Voice' are absolutely no problem, but it is currently being siphoned by the fierce top 20 schedule of 'Happy Girl,' so we are temporarily at a low point."

"And whether it is 'The Voice' or 'Happy Girl,' the trend of younger audiences for these two music variety shows is very obvious."

"My meaning is, since we decided to sponge off Liu Yifei's popularity, why not sponge off it thoroughly."

"In the recording of the next episode, we will directly connect with her to do the program, just as a small Easter egg, and put the trailer out in advance."

Dong Shuangqiang pondered for a few seconds.

Previously, he certainly had this idea; at that time, Don Quixote and the Windmill had not yet "broken up," and he wanted to put Boss Lu in the family observation room to make him socially dead.

It was just that Liu Yifei had this incident, and this plan was unlikely to happen, but her personal traffic alone was also precious to the current "The Voice."

Dong Shuangqiang doubted: "Just singing?"

"She has a good relationship with our judges Zhou Jielun and Anita, and she has rarely appeared or accepted interviews after the birthday incident last month."

"Singing a song and showing her face on the ace program of Travel Satellite TV, and catching up with old friends Zhou Jielun and Anita, why not?"

"Our program is originally relaxed, entertaining, and warm-oriented; we don't do ugly-shaming, poisonous tongue, or curiosity-seeking, so it should be quite fitting."

Long Danni suddenly approached Dong Shuangqiang and whispered: "I don't know if Boss Lu..."

"Don't even think about it."

Dong Shuangqiang said depressedly: "Before that incident, it might have been possible for the sake of advertising fees."

"Furthermore, he is busy with the post-production of the earthquake film and the Olympic plan recently; it's impossible."

Thinking of Lu Kuan, he thought of Zhou Jun, who did not know whether he had been "forced abroad" or was lingering somewhere; Dong Shuangqiang also sighed in his heart.

At the same time, the old station head and capable subordinates of the "enemy station" had just finished their meeting, and Ouyang Changqing asked the driver to send Yao Jia back first.

"Has there been no movement from Travel Satellite TV recently?"

"None at the moment."

The old station head leaned on the seat and rubbed his tightly furrowed brow: "Expecting a company with such a tough style as Wenjie to admit defeat is impossible; be prepared."

"What?"

"Should be repeating the old trick, right? Like last year, finding Liu Yifei to divert traffic."

Ouyang Changqing hammered his thigh regretfully: "What a good opportunity it was, to establish a cooperative relationship with her through the position of that female host."

"As long as she doesn't stand up and shout for 'The Voice,' and interacts more with us, this in and out, our leading advantage will be even more obvious."

Yao Jia was speechless, thinking to herself that this matter really belonged to "non-combat sin."

As early as the beginning of the year, when Lu Kuan attacked excessive entertainment, and then the bureau issued the four black rules for variety shows, her old leader saw the situation clearly and asked her to befriend Liu Yifei.

Since then, using her traffic among the youth group or as a buffer zone for confrontation with Wenjie, it was a good move.

Who knew that this chess piece Liu Shishi was so unruly and jumped off the chessboard herself, smashing her bones.

Now she had to watch Travel Satellite TV repeat the old trick and start chasing Hunan TV, but she was helpless.

Yesterday, Yao Jia had already reported to him that Liu Yifei's studio replied that it was inconvenient to cooperate for the time being.

This was an exclusive agreement reached by Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei in the office.

As a price for her public relations, at least within the 2005 natural program year of Travel Satellite TV, Liu Yifei was not allowed to reach any form of cooperation with Hunan TV.

Boss Lu also knew that these two years were a critical period for Travel Satellite TV to challenge Hunan TV, and it was impossible to let the help he cultivated with his own hands become bullets for the enemy station.

Even if this help was now somewhat out of control.

September 17, 2005, a very ordinary weekend.

But countless Linger fans, Fairy Sister fans, Lu Xueqi fans, and "bare-faced fans" who had just entered the pit because of "Genius Gunner" were all in place on time, waiting in front of Travel Satellite TV.

Due to the promulgation of the four black rules, song talent shows were not allowed to be broadcast in prime time.

Everyone looked forward to 9 o'clock, and "The Voice" officially started.

In front of the TV, regardless of whether they were interested in music, almost all Liu Yifei fans who had time were waiting by the TV.

As early as a week ago, Travel Satellite TV released news that a mysterious female guest would remotely connect to join the "Family Observation Room" to cheer for her good friend Yao Beina.

At that time, the domestic top stream who had not appeared for a long time would communicate and exchange simply with the guests about her current situation.

"The Voice" aimed at the traffic diversion of her ten million fans, while Yang Siwei intended to let her female artist seize the opportunity to show her face more, and friendly cooperation was reached.

Chaoyang District, and Qiaolijing Community, Zhang Ruoyun stretched and came out of the study, grabbing the remote control from his father's hand.

"What is this kid doing?"

Zhang Jian was watching the popular "Judge of the Great Song" on CCTV, naturally examining it from the identities of both an audience member and a TV drama director.

"Dad, don't just watch TV all day; go out more, it's good for your health, ah."

"There's 'The Voice' tonight; I'm relaxing."

Looking at Zhang Ruoyun's unfilial behavior, in the past, Zhang Jian might have pulled out the seven-wolf belt.

But his son was now in his third year of high school and was in a rebellious period; every time he lectured him, he would chatter.

Zhang Jian had just divorced his third wife and couldn't bear to lay a hand on this little cub.

"You don't like music, why watch that stuff?"

Zhang Ruoyun didn't lift his head, grabbed the melon seeds on the plate, and cracked them: "There's Liu Yifei! Today!"

Zhang Jian shook his head helplessly at his star-chasing son, picked up his teacup, and returned to the room.

Although he had a Beijing circle background, he had been the biggest source of noise behind Boss Lu's rise in recent years.

But Zhang Jian was cunning and had never opposed his son interacting more with that line; having more paths in the future was never a bad thing.

Let him be.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after a piece of opening music, Liu Yan and Da Peng walked onto the stage and started a short oral broadcast.

Da Peng was a male host dug from Sohu by Long Danni, and the oral broadcast was short because the title sponsor had not been determined.

The current "The Voice" was neither high nor low, but after this episode, the program would pass 1/4 of the progress, and if there was no big improvement, they would have to grit their teeth and compromise.

Liu Yan was sexy and cute, quite popular with the audience: "Okay, everyone has seen the trailer for today's episode, right? We have a mysterious guest!"

"Oh? Liu Yan, introduce it to everyone."

"Hi! Why does she need an introduction? Is there anyone in the country who doesn't know her!"

The live audience cheered, and many fans came to participate in the program recording and cheering, even if it was just a remote connection.

The four judges appeared under the dazzling light show, and Zhou Jielun raised the microphone first: "It's Yifei, right? She called me before, saying she wanted to cheer for a good friend."

He immediately clarified: "Of course she didn't tell me who it was, anyway, everyone relies on their own ability."

Anita smiled: "Yifei has been abroad for more than twenty days, and I miss her a little too; let's see if there's a chance to chat later."

On the side, Han Hong and Liu Huan also echoed a few words, and the program started immediately.

In front of the TV, the "non-target audience" including Zhang Ruoyun, or the Fairy fans who temporarily defected from Hunan TV, were all a bit impatient.

Why hasn't Liu Yifei come out yet?

What about Yao Beina? Why hasn't the program team arranged for her to go on stage?

For this part of the audience who relied on Liu Yifei to forcibly divert traffic, they were resistant and had no patience for the appearance of other contestants at the beginning.

It was just that while watching, they suddenly found...

It seems quite interesting, right?

Blind selection with back to the stage, subverting the focus on appearance and performance in traditional talent shows;

Two-way selection between judges and students, full of jokes in interaction, and greatly enhanced topicality;

And the luxurious lineup of Zhou Jielun, Anita, Han Hong, and Liu Huan, who had different styles but were resistant to popularity and strength.

In this "The Voice" of Wenjie, the ones mainly responsible for reconciling the atmosphere and making jokes were Zhou Jielun and Anita from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

On the one hand, they felt that this was Lu Kuan's program, and for them, it was like going home, and their mental state was very relaxed;

On the other hand, early variety shows in Hong Kong and Taiwan had quite a large scale, and there was no lack of curiosity and weirdness, so they were used to it.

In laughter, three contestants had passed unconsciously.

A junior girl from the Central Conservatory of Music, a Chinese-American boy from Singapore, and a water-spirited Yi girl from the mountains of Guizhou.

Either a powerful singer from the academic school, a compatriot of the same race from a foreign country, or a pure natural golden voice.

Plus the jokes and weirdness of the four judges, it was really a new scene.

Zhang Jian came out of the room with a frown: "Ruoyun, go to sleep early; have you finished watching Liu Yifei?"

"Ah?"

Zhang Ruoyun looked up in a daze and glanced at the hourly time report in the upper right corner of Travel Satellite TV; the program had been on for half an hour.

Looking at the melon seed shells on the ground...

Right! I came to see Liu Yifei today!

The three contestants were interacting interestingly here, and he almost forgot this!

"Wait! Wait! She hasn't appeared yet! I'll go to sleep right after watching!"

Zhang Jian's face turned black, and he had the urge to pull out the seven-wolf belt: "I warn you for the last time, you have to go to tutoring class tomorrow, you know?"

"Okay, okay, I know."

"You go to rest early, ah, don't worry about me."

Coincidentally, the same scene was staged in thousands of households across the country.

The shy and white Yi girl from Guizhou finally chose Han Hong's team, and after a close hug, they went off stage, and the broadcast perspective switched to Liu Yan.

In the Travel Satellite TV studio, Long Danni looked at the 25% instantaneous ratings sent by CSM and felt settled.

Around 2005 in later generations, the program with the highest average ratings was the 37% of the Spring Festival Gala, but the instantaneous ratings were a target that many satellite TV stations could impact.

Jiangsu TV's "Very Weekend" reached an instantaneous rating of 45% that year.

Long Danni looked at the 25% instantaneous ratings in her hand, just waiting to see the data performance at the moment Liu Yifei appeared next, and the speed of the ratings falling back after her part ended.

The TV broadcast camera gave to Liu Yan, who walked onto the stage gracefully.

"The next student is quite special; she is Anita's fanatical fan and has liked Anita for more than twenty years."

"Because of some special circumstances, she cannot be present, so today we specially invited her to participate in this program through video connection."

Liu Yan faced the audience, using expressions and gestures to signal everyone not to make a sound for a while.

Liu Yifei's video image suddenly appeared on the screen, and she was adjusting it toward the camera ignorantly.

Her hair was simply tied in a high ponytail, a few wisps of broken hair were not very obediently gathered by her ears, and her face was directly facing the lens, fearless of being bare-faced.

The cheering fans at the scene just wanted to scream, but seeing Liu Yan's gestures on stage, they all pursed their lips and smiled.

This Easter egg is surprising enough!

Previously, it was publicized that Liu Yifei would appear in the observation room link as a friend of a close friend; it seems that this is a remote appearance!

The live audience stared at the big screen in front of them.

Because she couldn't speak in advance, Liu Yifei, who had debugged the equipment, smiled and blew a flying kiss to the audience, then closed the microphone to clear her throat and made an OK gesture to the screen.

The fans off stage could not suppress their excitement, but they could not make a sound to prevent providing clues to the judges, and the program site also confiscated mobile phones to prevent leaks.

It's so uncomfortable to hold back!

The teenage audience in front of the TV was different, each one was happy!

"I'm going! It's really the Fairy Sister!"

"Bare-faced monster! Even facing the lens, she is so beautiful!"

"If Lu Xueqi doesn't come out, I almost forgot that I came to see her today..."

At this moment, the most confused were the four judges; they looked at each other and smiled bitterly in front of the screen, not knowing why the noise of the audience in front started.

Zhou Jielun was puzzled: "Anita, your fan, ah, and a fan of more than twenty years."

"More than twenty years, then this year she is at least thirty years old, right?"

Han Hong smiled: "Anita's thirty-year-old fan, then he/she should have grown up listening to your 'Red Temptation,' 'Bad Girl,' and 'Walking My Own Path Alone' back then."

After saying that, she imitated it intoxicatedly: "Walking my own path alone, groping my own path alone, loneliness fills my heart, who is whispering in my ear~~~"

The audience facing them smiled and applauded, and there was no lack of whispering.

Clearly, they were laughing at the misleading key information of "more than twenty years" provided by Liu Yan.

Counting the time Liu Yifei was in her mother's womb, it was not enough for twenty years.

Very abruptly, an extremely familiar prelude sounded!

Simple and agile, the rhythm is brisk, rhythmic, with a kind of leisurely comfort.

Isn't this "Common Jasmine Orange"!

The four judges stared at each other, and the audience at the scene and in front of the TV were all happy.

Liu Yan is very cunning, another deceptive piece of information.

Plus the changes in voice and color arriving at the scene through video transmission, whether Zhou Jielun and Anita, these two old acquaintances, could guess it was really uncertain.

The fans got their wish and quietly enjoyed Liu Yifei's short return to the domestic entertainment circle after going abroad.

Sparrows outside the window / chattering on the telephone pole

You said this sentence / has a very summer feeling

The pencil in hand / back and forth on the paper

I use a few lines of words to describe you / who are you to me

The director's lens gave to the judge's seat with back to the stage.

Anita spread her hands, looking at Zhou Jielun with a black question mark face.

Why is my fan singing your song?

Zhou Jielun raised his eyebrows: "It should be a little girl's voice, not old, it seems we were all deceived."

"A bit like Yifei, but she is here to be a friend group today."

Liu Huan shook his head: "Zhou Jielun, what do you think? If you turn, we won't grab it."

Easter eggs are Easter eggs, the four judges still strictly followed the rules, deciding whether to advance based on singing skills and vocal performance.

Liu Yifei sang intoxicatedly over there in Chicago:

"Rain falls all night, my love overflows like rainwater~~~"

"Leaves fall in the yard, with my longing thick..."

"Woof woof woof!"

"Woof woof woof!"

The little yellow dog at her feet was startled by the sudden high pitch, its nature of protecting its master sprouted, and it jumped onto Liu Yifei's lap.

The little girl was startled, pressed the dog's head with her hand, and managed to finish the last sentence with a smile!

Anita frowned and wondered: "Why is there a dog's harmony?"

The audience burst into laughter.

With a "snap," Zhou Jielun, who had already heard what was going on, pressed the button and turned around.

The clumsy high pitch of Liu Yifei just now had already made him accurately identify her; after all, they had just sung together at the concert not long ago.

"Hey, not bad!"

Zhou Jielun smiled and waved at Liu Yifei in the video, the ending gradually faded, and the other three judges all pressed the lights and turned around.

"Wow! Surprise, Xixi!"

Anita made a hugging gesture toward the big screen, and Liu Yifei returned a flying kiss.

Liu Yifei then greeted Han Hong and Liu Huan with a smile.

The small Easter egg of the program is off-topic here, but it is a popular off-topic, and below it briefly enters Liu Yifei's fan meeting activity.

"40%, Director Long."

Long Danni nodded with satisfaction, having long leaned on the chair and crossed her legs.

For today's crazy traffic diversion, let's see how much retention the next episode can have, and the final showdown with advertisers should be at that time. Just from today's live atmosphere, ratings data, and her experience in operating large variety shows last year, this wave of volume was firmly caught.

Long Danni was happy and worried; what she was happy about was that Chen Zhixi told her that Liu Yifei would not cooperate with TV stations other than Travel Satellite TV this year.

What she was worried about was next year?

Boss Lu, oh Boss Lu, quickly exert your shameless spirit or dirty means!

Don't let this golden dragon fish go to other ponds!

Fairy fans across the country fell into a carnival, impatiently watching the end of the song, Liu Yan's questioning and interaction.

"Yifei, hello, have you eaten?"

Liu Yifei appeared in the lens holding the little yellow dog: "Haha, it's early morning here; I just finished eating a late-night snack."

Immediately, she greeted the fans at the scene and in front of the TV: "Hello, audience friends, I am Yifei, long time no see!"

After the 825 Yifei incident, she almost disappeared from the domestic entertainment circle.

She hurriedly went on stage after Zhou Jielun's concert, followed by a blog telling everyone that she was leaving.

The fans looked forward to it for more than twenty days and finally saw this "spiritual little sister" again; she looked in good condition.

"Brother Zhou Jielun, your vision is still good, Anita didn't even turn around."

Zhou Jielun teased her: "Uh, actually I recognized you from your cracking voice."

"Hahahaha~~~"

The audience burst into laughter, Anita kept a straight face: "Actually, I almost heard it too, your little dog made trouble at the end."

Liu Yifei was still pressing the dog's head in her hand; the little thing was high-spirited and kept trying to break free from the cage.

Liu Yan asked: "Where is Yifei now? I heard from the studio's announcement that you are going to school?"

"Yes, I am in a state in the Midwest of the United States now, and I just enrolled two weeks ago."

Liu Huan is a part-time university teacher, and he praised: "Yifei has a good brain; you should temper and enrich yourself when you have time; this is reasonable."

Han Hong smiled: "Retreating when you are at the peak, this is great wisdom."

"Is your puppy just raised? What's its name?" Anita looked at the little yellow dog, which was quite cute.

"Uh, it's called..."

Liu Yifei frowned, wanting to make up a name first.

Unexpectedly, the little yellow dog couldn't bear her suppression, turned its head and bit her lightly, broke free from its master and ran away.

"Lu! Come here!"

"Lu!"

Liu Yifei's face disappeared from the screen for two seconds, it seems she went to chase the dog.

But those two "Lu" sounds were heard clearly by the whole country!

Lu?

Anita and Zhou Jielun looked at each other and burst into laughter in unison!

A mudslide is a mudslide, even an occasional appearance is so extraordinary.

The whole audience also screamed and carnivalized knowingly; some were venting for their idols, some were making trouble, and some were just following the trend.

In less than ten seconds, Liu Yifei's fan army quickly occupied the homepage of a certain washing machine's account on the blog network.

"The washing machine was born in 1982, and the lunar calendar is the year of the dog... everyone understands, right?"

"Why are you disobedient! And biting people!"

"Washing machine, you can even sing harmony!"

"Director Lu's acting is good, he is a genius director, and the harmony is even more awesome!"

"I have a little yellow dog~~~ Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu~~~"

Several voice-overs came from the live video; the escaped puppy should have been captured by Liu Xiaoqing, and Liu Yifei sat back in front of the lens with messy hair.

Her white cheeks were flushed with rapid breathing, facing Zhou Jielun and Anita who were teasing her, she felt a little bit of embarrassment for no reason...

Liu Yifei smiled awkwardly with a hint of cuteness: "The puppy is called Lucy, and the nickname is Lu."

She wanted to say that everyone should not misunderstand, but when the words reached her lips, she felt like covering up, so she just explained dryly.

Zhou Jielun teased: "Oh~~~ okay, I believe you."

Anita was serious: "Xixi, don't let it watch movies; it might scold those actors who perform poorly."

"Hahahahahaha!"

The scene was not to understand the applause, but to understand the laughter; the meme of Boss Lu as a tyrant on the set was widely circulated.

But there were not many people who could joke about him.

Famous scene! Famous scene!

It has to be said that he is a big red man in the eyes of domestic entertainment reporters, which is reasonable, especially when it comes to Liu Yifei.

From being slightly inferior, to the confession incident, plus this unexpected "cooperation" tonight...

Liu Yifei in the screen waved her hands eagerly: "No, no! This... he..."

Liu Yan received a prompt from the background in her headset, and the interaction time was up.

She also connected and relieved the situation in a timely manner: "Yifei, thank you for your appearance, only Zhou Jielun turned around at the scene, may I ask if you have made your own choice?"

Liu Yifei went down the slope: "Mm! Okay! I join Brother Zhou Jielun's team."

For Liu Yifei's fans, a short and happy ten minutes passed.

But surprisingly, including Zhang Ruoyun, not many fans directly changed the channel or turned off the program, but watched it with more relish.

The next day, out of publicity and hints to advertisers, the official blog of Travel Satellite TV intercepted the ten-minute clip of Liu Yifei's interaction in last night's program.

Among them, besides thanking her for her invitation to appear, there was also a conspicuous font marking the instantaneous 43% ratings peak of yesterday's program, which made industry insiders look sideways.

Since 2002, Boss Lu, with a forward-looking perspective, used Liu Yifei, a "consumable" proven in his previous life, and the internet, public opinion, and film and television tools he mastered to create the first generation of standard traffic young star in domestic entertainment.

Whether it was the initial stage of the development of the Wenjie Mall, the stage of grabbing the color ring dividends of the blog network, or using her popularity to divert traffic to various sectors of the Wenjie system.

This traffic monetization model has greatly attracted the attention of the industry.

In view of this, whether it is the old Yanda Huayi, Emperor, or the newcomer Cheng Tian, they have been purposefully looking for templates and replacing "consumables."

At the same time, professors from industry schools such as the Communication University of China have also keenly paid attention to this phenomenon.

Because of the addition of the traffic young star, "The Voice," which was originally under "Happy Girl," soared in momentum, and in less than a week, it successively harvested advertising and title sponsorship quotes far exceeding expectations.

On September 15, Dai Qing, a professor at the Communication University of China, published an article titled "Research on the Promoting Effect of Star Traffic on the Entertainment Industry under the Schramm Formula Context — Taking Actor Liu Yifei as an Example."

In the article, Dai Qing used the formula of media selection probability (p) = media-generated effect (v) / cost to be paid (c) to conduct targeted research on the "The Voice" case and reached relevant conclusions.

This article is "refined and popular," with both professional academic content and real cases in front of the eyes, and it is widely circulated.

Beiping, Oriental Economic and Trade City, Chang'an Street.

In the office of Cheng Tian Entertainment, which was just established this year, Wu Kebo looked at this article thoughtfully.

This is the office location of Cheng Tian Entertainment, which was just established this year.

In the domestic entertainment pattern of one super and many strong, as a member of the "many strong," Cheng Tian boss Wu Kebo is clearly not very satisfied with the status quo.

Wu Kebo himself, born into a wealthy family, graduated from Soka University in Japan in his early years.

After working in the Japanese business world for many years, he accumulated considerable contacts and wealth.

In 1998, Wu Kebo joined hands with the famous Japanese musician Tetsuya Komuro to enter the entertainment industry, established the rojam company, and rapidly developed into an excellent comprehensive music creation studio in the Asian region mainly engaged in music production business.

Through cooperation with Tetsuya Komuro, he accumulated experience in the field of music production and also expanded his business network in the entertainment market with the help of Tetsuya Komuro's influence and contact resources in the Japanese music world.

In this lifetime, until he was attracted by the great wave of the domestic entertainment industry and film industry, he returned to China to found Cheng Tian Entertainment.

His relationship with Japanese capital is very deep.

This point, not to mention others, in the office, Wang Jinhua, who had just joined Cheng Tian, saw it clearly.

For example, the office where everyone is sitting, upstairs is the mainland branch of NEC mobile phone of the Japanese-funded NEC company of Wu Kebo.

Downstairs is Cheng Tian.

For another example, the well-known confidante of Wu Kebo, Chen Hao, the mobile phone she endorses is NEC, and it is said that the latter invested 50 million in start-up funds for Wu Kebo.

Of course, like another big boss in the entertainment circle, Boss Lu, Wu Kebo is also single and has no too many scandals, so Chen Hao does not need to bear any reputation pressure.

Today is the meeting of the three big bosses of Cheng Tian.

Wu Kebo is not mentioned much.

Wang Jinhua is fully responsible for the brokerage business and has an independent company called Cheng Tian Shiba.

The last one is named Zhuang Liqi, who worked in film and television drama for many years at the Shanghai Film Studio and later served as the general manager of the Shanghai branch of China International Television Corporation.

This one is a big shot in TV drama in the Shanghai circle; "Romance in the Rain" and "Pink Girl" all came from his hands.

In the current start-up Cheng Tian International Entertainment Group, Wu Kebo coordinates the overall situation, Wang Jinhua is a full-time artist broker, and Zhuang Liqi is responsible for film and television work production.

The three of them finished reading the article by Professor Dai Qing of the Communication University of China and put down the materials in their hands with complex expressions.

"Two, after reading Dai Qing's article, what are your thoughts?"

Zhuang Liqi smiled bitterly: "Previously, this Boss Lu visited the Shanghai Film Studio, it was when he was filming 'The Foreign Land' in 2003."

"We did have a meal together; calling him a dragon and phoenix among people should still be underestimating the heroes of the world."

He tapped Dai Qing's article with his knuckles: "Such a model sounds simple, but from the three core links of internet tools, public opinion volume, and film and television works, it is almost impossible to replicate."

"Boss Zhuang sees it thoroughly; you two may have less dealings with Wenjie, but I am in Yanda Huayi, and there is almost not a day that I can escape facing this behemoth."

Wang Jinhua sighed: "The blog network is almost Wenjie's back garden, and Focus and Travel Satellite TV are their own industries."

"If we say these two pieces, we still have the possibility of imitation, then the only thing that cannot be replicated by Wenjie or Lu Kuan himself is his creative level and the two directors he brought out."

"Four films in four years, both critically and commercially successful, without a single failure; this is a very terrible thing."

Wang Jinhua knew what Wu Kebo meant by calling the two of them over today: "Boss Wu, Cheng Tian wants to build Huang Shengyi or Chen Hao according to this model."

"You must find a director with high stability to be able to effortlessly raise the status of female actors like Lu Kuan."

She picked up the cup and took a sip of tea: "Yanda Huayi has at least Feng Xiaogang, Guan Hu, Lu Chuan, Gao Qunsheng, He Ping, and this group of people."

"Our Cheng Tian... still needs to work hard."

The truth is hard to hear, but Wu Kebo had long expected such a situation.

Otherwise, he would not have brought out a project like "Red Cliff" as soon as he came up, attempting to recruit John Woo, who "returned from the dead" in Hollywood.

A few days ago, the casting of "Red Cliff" entered the final stage, jointly produced by Cheng Tian, China Heng, and China Film Group, and is expected to start filming within the year.

Boss Wu, who returned with honors from Japan, still did not give up: "Jinhua, Liu Yifei, can she be dug?"

Since you two say it's so difficult, what hair do I still cultivate?

Directly steal the fruits of victory.

Wang Jinhua thought to herself that this domestic entertainment novice had not yet learned the power of some people: "Boss Wu, not recommended."

"Her own willingness should not be very strong, and she is studying overseas now, so it is not easy to contact."

Wu Kebo was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.

I am the boss, you are the employee; I raised the problem, not for you to complain, but for you to solve it.

Don't do fill-in-the-blank questions for the boss; you have to do multiple-choice questions for me!

"If the willingness is not strong, you can add money to negotiate conditions; what can it count as a problem overseas? She is not planning not to come back."

Wu Kebo, thirty-six years old, is quite confident.

Not only from the success of his previous studies and career in Japan, from the wealth of his family background, but also from the strong support of NEC and some Japanese capital behind him.

"Jinhua, you come up with a plan to negotiate; the signing fee limit is set at 50 million for you, and I think the role of Xiao Qiao in 'Red Cliff' can also be negotiated; other supporting conditions are easy to talk about!"

50 million, not enough to film a big movie; if you can spend this little money to sign her, it belongs to blood profit.

"In addition..."

"Boss Wu!"

Wang Jinhua rarely interrupted the leader's speech, and Wu Kebo, who was heroic and deploying tasks, had a gloomy face.

"Speak."

"You have been back in China for less than half a year, and some things may not be very clear."

Wang Jinhua deliberated: "This Liu Yifei... has a very deep relationship with Lu Kuan."

"What is called very deep? Didn't they break up? The birthday party was so noisy, what is still deep?"

"Hey! Boss Wu, you are all men, you must understand men's psychology."

Wang Jinhua smiled somewhat meaningfully: "Especially for such a character, he has a very strong desire for control over everything around him."

"I really don't think this is a good idea; we might as well try to invest in Wenjie's movies; I think it's better than digging Liu Yifei directly."

"Hey!"

Wu Kebo was really a bit indignant now; why have you, Wang Jinhua, always been boosting others' morale?

Oh, meaning in this domestic entertainment, whoever Wenjie and Lu Kuan fancy, no one can reach out?

So overbearing?

Is it a crime to look?

Boss Wu said solemnly: "Wang Zong, whether it's difficult or not, you have to try to know."

"I actually understand your meaning; isn't it the Olympic leak incident that has been making a lot of noise recently?"

"But in business, these are normal commercial competition behaviors; it seems that we don't need to consider some people's opinions too much, right?"

"Oh, we are a new company that just arrived, and it is the time to develop our career; if we are so tied up, is it not very decent?"

Zhuang Liqi saw that he was really angry and had to coordinate: "Wang Zong, Boss Wu also makes sense; I think we can try."

"This Liu Yifei is an independent company and an independent individual; I think she also has the qualification for independent decision-making!"

Wu Kebo's face was dark and unclear, thinking that Wang Jinhua would continue to entangle, but the latter just smiled brightly: "Okay, then I will listen to the leader's instructions."

"Before noon tomorrow, I will come up with a plan, and we will discuss it again."

Boss Wu's face cleared slightly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

At this moment, Wang Jinhua was turning the pen in her hand, expressionless, but a trace of regret suddenly surged in her heart.

I thought that coming to Cheng Tian would be like a bird flying high, but I didn't expect to meet an arbitrary boss.

Not to mention comparing with Lu Kuan, even compared with Wang Dajun of Yanda Huayi, it is far worse.

Good words are hard to persuade a ghost who is going to die; she could almost foresee the trend of the situation below.

Liu Yifei directly refuses, and it's fine if Wu Kebo gives up.

If he wants to use any off-board tricks...

I hope he can see clearly that one bloody name that has already fallen.

"Okay, Liu Yifei's matter ends here; let's continue to talk about the work below."

Wu Kebo opened the materials in his hand: "Previously, an artist creation plan of Wenjie leaked on the market, right, that 'chick flick' route one?"

"Yes, Su Chang of Wenjie now is their standardized 'product'."

"Mm, my idea also comes from here."

It seems that in order to show his open-mindedness, Wu Kebo did not keep it secret.

"Four Dan Actresses, Two Bing and One Fei."

"Except for Liu Yifei, do the two of you still think there is a possibility of continuing to poach and find alternative plans."

In Wu Kebo's view, the development of Cheng Tian, which just arrived, is nothing more than two handles: works (directors) and artists.

Good directors and works are hard to come by, but good artists are like dazzling goods on the market.

Isn't the poaching operation under this idea brought by Wang Jinhua's team?

It's just that every track of domestic entertainment actresses is full of queues.

Liu Yifei's line has already been discussed, and replication is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Then what about others?

Wang Jinhua counted them like family treasures: "Zhao Yanzi is entangled in scandals, and her previous works do not have replicability."

"Zhang Ziyi mainly relies on film resources to go out of the circle and enter Hollywood, which is also very difficult."

"Actually, counting them, only Xu Jinglei and Fan Bingbing are easier."

Wu Kebo was still willing to listen to her professional analysis: "How to say?"

"Xu Jinglei and Fan Bingbing, it is an exaggeration to say that there is no acting skill, but it is indeed very average, and the representative works are also lacking."

"Xu Jinglei takes the talented woman and literary youth persona, and Fan Bingbing takes the sexy fashion style; these are things that can be imitated and hyped."

Zhuang Liqi smiled: "Chen Hao of the company is very suitable to take this path of Fan Bingbing!"

"There is another candidate, I think it's quite good."

Wang Jinhua thought of the news of "Tangshan Earthquake" she saw recently: "Song Jia, acting skills, temperament, appearance, and figure are all very plastic."

Wu Kebo did not commit, just silently wrote down this name.

"For the literary talented woman temperament, is Wang Zong familiar with one called Jiang Yiyan?"

"Jiang Yiyan?"

Ten thousand words a day, try to keep it, it's too busy at the end of the year.

Continue to beg for votes!
