The annual haze comes to meet old friends again. The trees on the street have turned green and yellow, and have withered and fallen to the ground, filling the city with desolation.
In an inconspicuous old BJ Zhizi barbecue restaurant, Wang Changtian, the owner of Enlight Media, drank tea in a depressed mood.
He is from Dalian and graduated from Fudan University. He first worked in Beijing TV Station as the director of a program.
Wang Changtian simply resigned and started his own business, establishing Enlight Media.
Starting from contracting TV programs such as "China Entertainment Report" and "Music Chart", to entering the film and television industry, and then going public, it has become a private entertainment company that cannot be ignored in China.
Compared to Huayi and Bona, Enlight Media is relatively clean and is still very active in later generations. Liu Yan, Sun Qian, Zhang Ruonan and the annoying Bao Beier are its artists.
"Old Wang!"
"Hey, you're finally here!"
After waiting for a while, a friend pushed in the door. This was Wang Changtian's old classmate, who currently works in the film bureau.
The old classmate didn't need to be polite and just ordered a few pieces of meat. The best pork, mutton, onions, and coriander were rolling on the grill, making a sizzling sound, and the aroma was fragrant.
Wang Changtian was not interested and asked anxiously: "What are your opinions?"
"I don't have any opinions yet. You know, it takes a certain amount of time for something to be fed back from the Internet to us internally and then studied qualitatively."
"What do you think?"
"Me personally..."
The friend shook his head and advised: "Old Wang, I would like to advise you not to think about it."
"How could I not want to? "The Big Four" cost me 80 million, 80 million!"
Wang Changtian, who has always been gentle and gentle, suddenly had veins stretched out, and said depressed and irritated: "Wu Xiubo had an accident a few months ago, so I pushed back the schedule. He didn't have many roles, so I thought about re-editing it and leaving it for the Spring Festival. Now you tell me?
Okay, do you know how much the light will cost?!!"
"It's useless for you to yell at me. Don't you understand the nature of this matter? It's worse than drug abuse or prostitution!"
His friend understood his mood and continued to comfort him: "The most important thing for you now is to find a way to cut out Huang Qiusheng's drama and still have the possibility of it being released."
"Anthony Wong plays the Godly Lord Zhuge. The trilogy is in the same vein and he is the soul of the protagonist group. How to cut it? How to cut it?"
"Then there's nothing I can do!"
"..."
Wang Changtian stared at him for a long time, and finally sighed.
The market capitalization of Enlight Media at its peak was only over 20 billion, um, RMB.
Film and television stocks in China are only of this size. Don’t look at those big guys who are making all the difference in the entertainment industry and have access to capital levels, which are simply not enough. The most unique thing about the entertainment industry is traffic, and this kind of traffic is often exaggerated, creating a very cool situation.
A forced illusion.
99 Entertainment is different. It bundles entertainment with the Internet and uses entertainment traffic to boost online platforms. This scale is not at the same level.
Enlight Media's performance is very good, but a straight loss of 80 million is enough to break the muscles and bones, and it will also affect the stock price.
"I'll think of another way..."
Wang Changtian could only accept the reality, and also thought about using "face-changing method" to cover up Huang Qiusheng.
The meal was tasteless. On the way back to the car, he kept thinking about this matter. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became: It seems like it started in the first half of the year, right?
A lot of dirty stuff about celebrities has been exposed inexplicably, the kind that cannot be cleaned away.
I didn't think it at that time, but now when I think about it, it seems like there is an invisible big hand controlling everything.
"..."
Perhaps because of the chilly night wind, Wang Changtian suddenly shivered and vaguely pointed, but then he smiled helplessly, so what could he do!
……………
at the same time.
Xu Zheng, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and a stubbled beard, walked stiffly into a hidden club. When he reached the private room and opened the door, Dong Ping was already inside.
The two looked at each other, neither said a word, and sat down in silence.
Xu Zheng poured a glass of water but didn't drink it. He was playing with the glass with dull eyes. He couldn't understand that a week ago, he was in high spirits and was about to usher in a new stage of life. "囧 in Hong Kong" was also launched with great fanfare.
The first trailer was released and the response was overwhelming!
Why did I go from heaven to hell in just a few days?
When the news broke out, he was completely stunned. Four buried landmines, the son of luck from "囧 in Hong Kong", hit four dollars in a row.
If you say you didn’t do it on purpose, people won’t believe it!
If it were just a movie, it would be really simple. The key is that they are playing a capital game and they have to face the anger they should face.
"Mr. Jiang!"
"Mr. Jiang!"
After a while, Jiang Zhiqiang came in, and they both greeted him.
Jiang Zhiqiang waved his hands and had no intention of talking. He looked equally tired. He was even more depressed than Xu Zheng and Dong Ping. "Monster Hunt" was temporarily unavailable, and he was still waiting for the opportunity to reshoot. He wanted to use "囧" to gain good luck.
, the special "囧" is also bad.
Not long after, people came one after another.
They have companies in Beijing, Shanghai, and Alibaba companies. Even Xiao Yanzi is here - she also invested a little bit and is involved in Alibaba companies.
That is: they are both investors and shareholders of 21 Holdings, so they get the best of both worlds.
But saying they are capital is a bit flattering. At most, they are at level 2.5 of the pyramid like Dong Ping.
"What the hell did you do?"
The boss in Beijing has a bad temper. He scolds me when he comes in: "You cheated me out of my money, but then you made a big deal out of me? Dong Ping, I paid for you only because I trusted you, and now you do this to me?"
"We didn't expect this either. Did I want this?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me, just tell me what to do now?"
"Isn't it just a matter of discussing with you? What are you calling me? When we said we would make money together, it was good for you and mine. Now there are risks. What should I do if you ask me? Should I bear the risks alone?"
Dong Ping was in a bad mood and his tone was also bad.
"grass!"
The man got even angrier and slapped the table and said, "I don't care about anything else. You have to give me my money. If you lose a penny, I'll offload it from you!"
"Yes, this is not a matter for you to take the risk, but the risk is simply unbearable!"
"If you can make money from the release of "囧", I didn't say anything, just forget it now."
"Friends are friends, business is business!"
"In business, there are losses and profits. Now something happened, I admit that I am responsible, but don't put on such a face. You are not a few years old, who are you trying to scare?
Legally, your money cannot be refunded. Either we can find a solution together, or I am here and you can figure it out!"
Dong Ping is not a coward after having been around for so many years, so he stiffened his neck.
"Fuck you xxx!"
That group of people got even more angry, smashed bowls and chopsticks, banged the table, and immediately asked the high-end to collect the bill.
"Don't do anything! Calm down, calm down!"
"We'll find a solution, oops!"
Jiang Zhiqiang maintained a few words, shook his head and gave up. He was too lazy to join these stupid and impulsive people, so he got up and left first.
