"Brother Lu, aren't we going to Director Xiao Wu's dinner party today?" Lan Yening, who had just finished packing up in the morning, was told by Lu Tianxiang who came over.
"I won't go. Director Xiao Wu's matter has become a big deal now, and the company is planning to withdraw its capital." Lu Tianxiang said while looking at Lan Yening carefully.
The former wore a thin linen casual suit when he got up in the morning.
Lan Yening's skin is already fair enough that she doesn't need makeup, and now she looks extremely eye-catching against the backdrop of this dress.
Lan Yening didn't care about the look in his manager's eyes. He was used to this look that would make ordinary people's skin crawl.
What he cares more about is the movie that the company withdrew its funding from, which is his hope of becoming famous.
"Isn't it just a 'reference' incident? How could it become so big?"
"Someone took action to punish him, and some seniors in the industry also spoke out. Although those people have no commercial value, they still hold the power of life and death in their hands."
Lu Tianxiang was also quite annoyed about this matter. He almost broke his legs for this cooperation, not to mention that he got a lot of benefits from it.
Many people think that investing in movies is easy. As long as you take the money, a great director will film it for you. In fact, that is not the case at all.
A good movie is roughly divided into three stages: investment, shooting and release.
Investment involves the capital operations of many companies, and the direction of a large amount of funds must be reviewed by the company's board of directors, and will also affect the company's stock price, so the budget is very cumbersome and requires a lot of legal procedures.
Moreover, in order to reduce risks in a major production, it is impossible to invest alone. If there are multiple investors, the rights and obligations of each party must be clearly understood, and countless negotiations must be conducted.
It is also a big problem to find a director to shoot. The film you invest in must be a well-known director in the industry to gain the trust of investors, but the directors are very busy, and people may not see the book you submit.
Of course, some people may say that I just need to pay enough.
How much money can you give the director if you give him enough money? The idea of giving out 100 million or 200 million at a time as a director's compensation that he can't refuse is nonsense.
In reality, no one would use their own money to waste money like this, even if it is to flatter others.
Although Zhang Shuya sincerely supports Lan Yening, she must also make a clear accounting of her financial interests.
Then comes the release of the movie. What should you do if the movie you made cannot be released, or if it is released, but you are only given a very small schedule?
You still have to negotiate with the theater chain to ask them to arrange how many shows to broadcast for you.
At that time, the director of Gangpao had a falling out with the richest man, Mr. Wang, because of too few films.
These are all extremely labor-intensive, and the release of a blockbuster film is by no means decided by brainstorming, but requires a long period of time.
This time something happened to director Xiaowu, and there was no suitable director in the urgent situation. Other investors didn't want to invest money, and Zhang Shuya didn't want to take risks, so she decided to divest.
"Brother Lu, is there no room for recovery?" Lan Yening felt very frustrated.
"I got information from insiders. Although he will not be banned openly, the movies he shoots will not pass censorship."
Seeing Lan Yening's uncomfortable look, Lu Tianxiang couldn't help but feel quite heartbroken, and comforted him: "Xiao Ning, you don't have to be too discouraged. I've talked to you about several cover magazine shoots, and there's also an actor competition.
A variety show like that, you go first."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Lu."
"Thank you, I'm your agent! This actor competition variety show is quite good. There are great directors participating, so you have to perform well when the time comes."
Lu Tianxiang is now worried about Lan Yening.
Lan Yening nodded in agreement, and then said: "Brother Lu, thank you, it's not easy to win that variety show!"
"Xiao Ning, as long as you know Brother Lu's feelings for you, it will be fine." Lu Tianxiang walked over and gently held the other person's hand.
Lan Yening smiled slightly: "Brother Lu, you haven't eaten yet! I heard there is a good Cantonese-style morning tea shop here." He said and gently pulled his hand away.
Lan Yening is now so sick that he doesn't even want to eat breakfast, but he also knows that the real world is not a novel, and he doesn't have the capital to fall out with Lu Tianxiang.
Shenghai
Wu Jingxiang was extremely angry and almost smashed the coffee cup: "Xiao Wu, this bastard, is still a tough talker now."
Wu Hao sat there without saying a word. He knew that he must not disturb his cousin when he was angry.
"Cousin, go find this person and ask him to help check the tax situation of Big Loud Entertainment." Wu Jingxiang calmed down after being furious.
Wu Hao was shocked. This was a plan to kill Xiao Wu! Once problems in this area were discovered, the implications would be wide. Xiao Wu's company was not just for his own use.
"Cousin, doing this will offend a lot of people, and we also have to invest in the industry. If we check a big director, there will be no famous directors to cooperate with us in the future."
"I know, I'm just trying to scare him this time. If he really wants to fight to the end, I won't be polite." Wu Jingxiang also knew that he was not at the point where he could cover the sky with one hand.
Wu Hao was relieved when he saw his cousin acting like this.
"Cousin, take the opportunity to report us and find out who is behind the show?"
"who?"
"It's Xinghe!"
Wu Jingxiang didn't understand for a while why Xinghe would do such a thing.
Looking at the former's inquiring eyes, Wu Hao continued: "Maybe it was during the show Born Idol that the little idol company we had shares in threatened the people in their company."
Wu Hao never imagined that this incident was caused by a chaotic fight in the rice circle.
He is a person with normal thinking and naturally considers everything realistically.
"Old Mu is just that good. Go and see if their broken group has any external affairs that have been disturbed by them." Wu Jingxiang is a master who must avenge his enemies.

All the girls' lives seem to have returned to their original state, practicing singing and dancing every day.
Lu Fangxin found that the girls here are simply versatile.
There are some who can cook, some who can play musical instruments, some who can dance various kinds of dances, and some who can speak various languages and can act. It’s a gathering of elites.
Everyone organized and performed various shows together when nothing happened, and even formed two bands.
During this period, many girls' friendships have developed greatly. Many people have become familiar from unfamiliarity, and then from familiarity to intimacy.
"Jiang Mengqi, the rice you cook is so delicious. Can you make spicy pork tonight?" Luo Tiantian finished the last bite of seafood fried rice in the wooden rice bucket.
"Sister, where should I go to buy meat?" Jiang Mengqi felt helpless towards this good friend.
"How about we ask the master chef over there for some when we go to the restaurant next time." Fan Lei said eagerly.
"I think it's better to bring some vegetables back and let's process them," Liu Jiaying said.
Although the food in the cafeteria is good, they are not used to the taste here.
These girls come from all over the world and have different tastes. In fact, it is difficult to coordinate.
The dishes here that I’m most unfamiliar with are those from the north of the Yangtze River.
So some girls who knew how to cook bought various cooking utensils and rice to make their own meals.
Among them, Jiang Mengqi is the one with the best skills. Coupled with her sunny smile and clean personality, she is very popular among the girls here.
Many people like to come to her dormitory to have a meal, and some people jokingly call it a canteen.
"Lai Ruofe, can you draw me a cartoon of me?" Zhang Yuexin, who looked like a royal lady, smiled at the former who was wearing big rabbit ears. Her face was completely healed.
"Okay!" Lai Ruofe nodded with a smile, then put his face against the other person's ear and smiled: "Actually, we can be a little bolder, just like the 'Titanic'"
"Oh my god! Look at how small and pure you are, so, so..." Although Zhang Yuexin said this, she started to giggle.
