Chapter 576: Predators

Just a few hours later, in the afternoon.

Sitting next to Li Qian was Zou Wenhuai.

It's just that this time, Li Qian already held a copy of the systematic information related to Dongfang Media, a giant in the film industry, and Zhou Yanghua, which he had compiled in his hand in recent years, and was seriously looking at it from the beginning.

Any circle has its own rules, but there are also unspoken rules corresponding to it.

But unspoken rules can never override the rules!

For example, in the film and television industry, the unspoken rule is that if you have money, everyone makes it. If you always eat alone, you will gradually have no friends. As a director, it is inevitable that you don’t treat your screenwriters, photographers, and editors favorably. People are scattered. The movie is out, if it sells well, you have to give out more red envelopes, don’t be too stingy, otherwise, whether it’s the actors or the staff behind the scenes, they will spread the word to you in the future, saying that you are stingy and eat alone, and your reputation will be bad . Still the same sentence, if word of mouth is bad, everyone will not want to cooperate with you.

For another example, there is often some mutual assistance between the two companies. You need to use my actors, and sometimes I have to borrow your company’s photographers. Once or twice, there will be friendship. Our new company The movie is going to be filmed, and you are optimistic about it and want to invest in it. I agree. Then when you open a new movie, if I like it and want to invest in it, you can't refuse, otherwise the friendship will be lost.

But it doesn't have to be! This is only the category of human feelings, just unspoken rules!

A new film is about to start, there is such a role, A can play, B can also play, then A is willing to sleep with him, willing to fall in love with the producer or director, B is not willing, A will be in, B will not, This is possible, and it belongs to the category of unspoken rules, which everyone can understand and accept.

But if there is another role, although A is willing to sleep with the director and is willing to fall in love with the director, but she can't act, the performance is not up to standard, and B is unwilling to sleep with her, but she plays well and can handle this role, then at this time , as long as you are not a fool, or in other words, as long as you don't think investors and producers are fools, absolutely no one will dare to use A who is willing to sleep with you, you must use B!

This is called a rule!

There are people who rely on sleeping with you to rise to the top, not only in the entertainment and movie circles, but also in the political and business circles. This kind of situation abounds, but if you only rely on sleeping with you, you will not be able to rise to the top!

Because unspoken rules can never go beyond the rules!

This is the same reason that if you have no skills, even if you want to seduce the chairman or the boss, as long as he is not completely confused, he will not let you be the general manager!

No one would be so stupid as to use their foundation and future to make a girl smile!

Minghu Culture filmed a "Legend of the New White Snake", which was very popular and sold at a high price. The red envelopes were directly distributed again with the film salary, which was full of atmosphere. Everyone in the industry looked at it, and no one was not greedy. Preparations for the TV series are about to start. Although Li Qian is not directing it himself, the evaluation standard will be lowered in everyone's minds, but everyone still yearns for it, so everyone has contacted and wanted to enter the show.

According to the normal situation in the industry, Minghu Culture should choose one or two high-level, large-scale, and good-repute companies to bring in, firstly to share risks, and secondly to make friends. It's easier to do things when you have more friends, and in the future, if someone has good things to do, you can also get involved.

Don't care about the social circle, don't make friends at all, just know how to keep the little profit in your own hands all day long, and don't want to share it with others. Basically, you can't get up-this is basically an unspoken rule that you can't get past!

But Minghu Culture didn't care about this unspoken rule at all. Li Qian had the confidence in his heart to rise smoothly without relying on anyone's help, so he asked Qi Jie to reject all those people properly!

Many people will be disappointed in their hearts, but no one can talk about any resentment, let alone hatred, because they don't owe you anything!

Because there has never been any law or rule that requires Minghu Culture to share its pancakes with everyone!

Therefore, what Zou Wenhuai said is correct. Logically speaking, Minghu Culture is at best a bit lonely in the industry, and it is absolutely impossible to say that it has made any enemies.

So what exactly is this?

Who is it, and why is the other party secretly working hard to trip him up?

In other words, is that person Zhou Yanghua, and why did he do this?

Just because "Meteor Garden" didn't let him in... let alone Zou Wenhuai, even Li Qian felt that it wouldn't be possible!

Zhou Yanghua was able to make Oriental Media to such a large scale in the past 20 years. It is obviously impossible for Zhou Yanghua to be the kind of person who will report every little thing!

Moreover, according to the rumors in the world, Zhou Yanghua has always had the kind of grandiosity that spends a lot of money! He has always been extremely generous to the woman he likes and the director he admires!

This point has been well-known in the industry for the past twenty years, and there should be no fakes!

But the timing of his sudden appointment to meet him was so coincidental that it was impossible for people not to be suspicious.

Li Qian felt that if Zhou Yanghua was really the person who tripped him behind the scenes, then the secret might be hidden in this document in his hands!

As a matter of fact, he read through these materials carefully, and found some clues very quickly, and then quickly deduced some ideas from them——

After more than half an hour, after reading this document, Li Qian couldn't help letting out a long breath, with a look of sudden realization, and said with emotion: "That's how it is!"

Zou Wenhuai was confused, "Why?"

…………

Oriental Media Group is one of the largest film production companies in China at present. Even with their strength, there is no problem even if "one" is removed. He is the biggest one at all. Moreover, their company also has Holding a large domestic movie theater line - Oriental Cinema Line.

In the film industry, Oriental Media is definitely a giant!

As the boss and chairman of Dongfang Media, Zhou Yanghua can be said to be omnipotent in the film industry! But even he has things he wants to do but can't.

The information in Li Qian's hands is by no means confidential. Anyone with a heart can easily sort it out if they collect it, because it contains some sensational news at the time.

But such a piece of information that is not top-secret is enough to outline a very clear clue for Li Qian—— Zhou Yanghua has always been very successful in film investment in the past many years, but after the film circle became bigger, He was not satisfied with just sticking to this area, and wanted to open up the TV drama market, so he began to invest a lot of money. Even Du Weiyun, an international director who plays movies, had to help him participate in the production of two TV dramas. This is a TV series produced by Oriental Media, which shows Zhou Yanghua's ambitions for TV series!

But it's a pity that the final results of the several TV series they produced successively were not satisfactory, and even Du Weiyun became the producer.

Correspondingly, there are Jiang Meicheng's Meicheng Film and Television, and Lu Huanzhang's Huazhang Film and Television.

The former, Meicheng Film and Television, is Jiang Meicheng's own company. He is best at making romantic dramas, and he has always written scripts, directed and invested by himself, and has never cooperated with the outside world. For many years, Jiang Meicheng has produced a romance TV series almost every one or two years, and almost every one of them will be hit and sold well.

Therefore, although the scale of Meicheng Film and Television is not large and its output is limited, it has always been an existence that no one can ignore in the industry!

As for the latter, the boss of Huazhang Film and Television, Xu Wenhua, started to get involved in TV drama production more than ten years ago, and single-handedly picked up Lu Huanzhang, a famous TV drama director. Even the name of the company was changed a few years ago, from the names of two people Take a word in each, called Huazhang Film and Television. It is said that now, Lu Huanzhang already has a lot of shares in this company, and Huazhang Film and Television can be regarded as a partnership between the two of them.

As a director, Lu Huanzhang has been very good at urban life films and youth romance films for many years. Over the years, he has also produced excellent works. It is said that he and Xu Wenhua have had a very good personal relationship since the early years. Even before he got the shares of Huazhang Film and Television, and Huazhang Film and Television was not called the current name, many film and television companies offered high prices to recruit him, but he refused to change jobs. .

Similar to Meicheng Film and Television, the company that the two of them are partnering with is also a company that is small in scale, but has a very loud sign, and although the output is not large, as long as it produces products, it can definitely become popular!

So in the domestic film and television industry, no one dares to underestimate them!

However, after achieving continuous success in TV dramas, Jiang Meicheng and Lu Huanzhang also invested in and made movies one after another, but without exception, they lost a lot of money!

So here comes the problem, Dongfang Media is very good at making movies, but they can't play TV series, Meicheng Film and Television and Huazhang Film and Television are good at making TV series, but they can't play movies!

Therefore, after repeated failures in his own investment in TV dramas, Zhou Yanghua quickly took aim at them, and proposed that he hoped to eat up Meicheng Film and Television and Huazhang Film and Television through harvesting, or mergers and acquisitions, or mergers. , you can't, you can do it, I can't, then let's just merge together, wouldn't we be able to do anything? At that time, we will have first-hand TV dramas, first-hand movies, internal resource sharing, and the cultivation of directors and actors, which will also form an orderly climbing order, which will greatly enhance the company's overall strength.

I have to admit that Zhou Yanghua is an ambitious and thoughtful person. If his proposal of merger and acquisition can be realized, then Dongfang Media will really visit the entire domestic film and television industry.

It's just a pity that although Jiang Meicheng and Lu Huanzhang both play TV dramas, they are also big names in the TV drama area. Even if they know that the merger may not be a bad thing, they still don't want to go there. Kind of a day living under the hedge of others!

In fact, from Li Qian's point of view, he feels that the road he is walking now coincides with Zhou Yanghua's. It's just that Zhou Yanghua tried it, but it didn't work, so he wanted to take the path of merger to make up for his shortcomings, while Li Qian was on the way from TV dramas to movies, and he had great confidence that , I will definitely succeed!

However, thinking of Zhou Yanghua's ambitions, and Minghu Culture's rejection of the other party's willingness to invest, and thinking that even Zhao Sicun had to be forced to get stuck in his own script, these things that happened in the past few days, gradually Gradually, it was clearly outlined in Li Qian's heart.

After a while, Li Qian deliberated several times, with a faint confidence in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Zou Wenhuai, but did not answer the question, "He said that I will decide the time and place?"

Zou Wenhuai nodded, "That's what he said."

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, "Zhou Yanghua is a big crocodile in the domestic film and television industry, he is an old senior, it is too polite to say that." After a pause, he smiled and said: "Call him back, just say I said it Yes, I have admired Mr. Zhou for a long time, and I have wanted to visit for a long time, but I have never had this opportunity. Since Mr. Zhou wants to meet, of course it depends on Mr. Zhou's time, and I am always at your beck and call!"

…………

When Zou Wenhuai took the order to go out to make a call, Li Qian thought about it, picked up the phone, and dialed Yu Bojun's number. The call was connected quickly, Yu Bojun was panting badly, and there were vaguely messy voices coming through the phone - Li Qian frowned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I'll hang up first, call me back when you're done!"

"Then you wait an hour later, my young master is of the durable type!" Yu Bojun panted.

Li Qian smiled helplessly and shook his head, then hung up the phone.

On the surface, Yu Bojun is ten years older than him, but in his heart, he always treats Yu Bojun as a little brother. There is no way, mental age is mental age, and it will not change because you have changed to a young body.

Ten minutes later, Yu Bojun called and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Qian said: "What do you think of Zhou Yanghua?"

Yu Bojun paused when he heard the words, and asked, "What? Did he pick on you?"

Li Qian shook his head, and then realized that the other party couldn't see it, so he could only say: "I'm not sure, I'm just guessing, it might be him who tripped me up."

"Oh, about the script?" Yu Bojun said lightly, "It's him?"

After a pause, before Li Qian could answer, he continued: "He is very successful in making movies, he can be regarded as one of the most successful people in the country, and he also has his own theater chain in his hand, I can't stand it." Let him live, but he doesn't dare to mess with me! If you count the family behind me, a few more him, Zhou Yanghua, are nothing!"

Speaking of this, he said in a relaxed tone: "It's just the movie circle, as you know, this circle has its own system, and no matter how rich outsiders are, it is not easy for outsiders to get in. Our family has more than ten theaters. It's been a year, and it's not like this until now? So, everyone is kind, hello, I'm easy to make a living, and no one wants to offend anyone!"

"But you are in the circle now, don't be afraid of him! Even if there is a big trouble, Lao Cao and I will support you. You can play with him at ease, don't be afraid of him! If you really want to tear your face into a fight, he The Zhou family has only been up for a few years, and they are still very young! No matter how powerful he is, Zhou Yanghua, he will not be able to ascend to the sky!"

Li Qian smiled, nodded, and said, "I understand."
