Chapter 132 Let the era of color ringtones arrive ahead of schedule
"Are you sure that the person named Teng was the one who caused that incident?"
"Absolutely true!"
Liu Hao thought for a moment, "Is there anyone else involved in that matter?"
"Whether there is anyone else, it depends on what you think, or you find out the answer yourself, and this is the answer I give you..."
Zheng Donghan's ambiguous answer and his meaningful smile made Liu Hao more and more certain that someone else was responsible for the incident.
After Zheng Donghan left, Liu Hao immediately called Wang Jinghua for discussion.
"Did you find out who was behind the scandal about me before?" Liu Hao asked directly.
Wang Jinghua frowned, looking embarrassed, and spoke more cautiously, "In terms of news and public opinion, we don't have much influence now. Not everyone will sell our face. This matter is a bit tricky and it will take some time..."
While Wang Jinghua was speaking, she watched Liu Hao's expression change from time to time, fearing that Liu Hao would be angry because of her "incompetence in doing things."
Liu Hao's fortune and growth were too fast, which made Wang Jinghua feel more and more anxious and uneasy while she was grateful for her sharp eyesight.
Moreover, something about Liu Hao gave Wang Jinghua a deep sense of crisis.
The premiere of "Love Through Time" was a great success, which indicates that Liu Hao's film and television company is gradually on the right track.
Liu Hao's film and television company has now established its own artist department, recruited its own film and television agents, and signed contracts with artists such as Huang Bo and Zhou Gongzi.
Except for Zhou Gongzi who has done a few movies and TV series and is somewhat famous, Wang Jinghua has never heard of anyone else. However, with the resources Liu Hao has now, it is still very easy to flatter people, not to mention making them famous.
When Wang Jinghua established her own artist management company, one of the important reasons why she accepted Liu Hao's capital investment was that she was interested in Liu Hao's resources and wanted to use Liu Hao's resources to support her contracted artists.
If the contracted artist in your hand becomes popular, then you will have more bargaining power, and you will not be at a disadvantage when cooperating with Liu Hao.
Just like the relationship between Wang Jinghua and Huayi Brothers in later generations, Huayi Brothers were "severely injured" when the last one left, and they were called "hollowed out" by the media.
Of course, Wang Jinghua's move had no ill intentions towards Liu Hao. It was more about seeking benefits for herself and hoping to continue to cooperate with Liu Hao.
Wang Jinghua didn't know if Liu Hao could think so far and if he knew his intentions, but Liu Hao set up an artist department in his film and television company to sign artists himself, obviously he didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.
This move directly defeated Wang Jinghua's wishful thinking.
Wang Jinghua is even more panicked now, fearing that she will be disliked by Liu Hao and that her biggest cash cow will be poached by others.
Now I strive to be thoughtful and perfect when doing things, and I am more cautious.
Becoming more flattering, well... in other ways.
He acted like he was scaring himself.
In fact, Liu Hao has no idea of changing his agent now.
Otherwise, Liu Hao would directly save money with Wang Jinghua and sign his agency contract with his own company.
You must know that when Liu Hao and Wang Jinghua signed the contract, Wang Jinghua did not set any restrictions on Liu Hao in the contract in order to win Liu Hao's sincerity. Liu Hao basically did not have to pay anything to terminate the contract, not even liquidated damages.
Liu Hao is quite satisfied with Wang Jinghua's nanny-style brokerage service, and she has been doing her best to do the things she arranged.
Now Liu Hao doesn't need a strong agent. His requirement for an agent is not to seek any merit, but only to have no mistakes. Wang Jinghua is quite suitable.
Some things are beyond her ability, and you really can't blame her for not handling them well.
Liu Hao has developed rapidly, but its operating time is too short, and its foundation is still shallow. Although it has friendly media friends, its influence in the media industry is still not enough.
It is still difficult to find out who was behind the scandal.
In this regard, Liu Hao expressed his understanding to Wang Jinghua.
"PolyGram's Zheng Donghan has just answered this question for me. He is the director named Teng who made "Can't Find the North"..."
Liu Hao said directly, and then asked Wang Jinghua another question, "So do you think this answer is correct?"
Wang Jinghua thought for a moment and then gave her own understanding, "Mr. Zheng Donghan from PolyGram has great power in the media industry, which we can't match now. It is not difficult for him to find out the people who are causing trouble behind the scenes."
...
Now we are in the honeymoon period of our cooperation, so I don’t think he will tell you the wrong answer..."
Liu Hao did think this was true, but he shook his head.
"The answer may be correct, but it is not the only answer, just like a multiple-choice question..."
"You said he was not the only one behind the scenes?" Wang Jinghua said with some surprise.
Liu Hao fell into a brief thought, and then said with some uncertainty: "Maybe this matter has something to do with Huayi Brothers..."
Wang Jinghua's face changed slightly, and she expressed confusion: "This is impossible, isn't the relationship between Huayi Brothers and us very good? It would be of no benefit to them to do that thing..."
"Is the relationship really good?" Liu Hao couldn't help but sneer in his heart, he didn't think so.
After Huayi Brothers sold all remaining shares of Liu Hao Records to PolyGram at a "low price", they were ridiculed by the media for making a loss-making deal.
Faced with doubts, Xiao Wang of Huayi Brothers took the initiative to accept interviews with the media, saying that it was because he was more optimistic about the film and television industry, and that the reason for selling Liu Hao Records shares was to concentrate funds for development in the film and television industry, etc.
This reason makes sense, but the problem is that Xiao Wang is a bit talkative, and his words imply that the reason is that Liu Hao is an ungrateful person, and he has no choice but to sell his shares.
This was another one who blamed himself. What Xiao Wang said made Liu Hao a little confused.
Indeed, Liu Hao's current success is thanks to Huayi Brothers' investment and dual support in terms of funds and resources.
But over the past year or so, Huayi Brothers have made at least more than 30 million from their own record company, dividends and selling shares.
Huayi Brothers' original investment was less than 500,000, but it has increased more than 60 times. With this super high rate of return, they have also made a lot of money from themselves.
Having helped Huayi Brothers make so much money, it can be regarded as repaying their favor.
Moreover, I have never forced Huayi Brothers to sell their shares. They all sold their shares without telling me.
What do these actions of Huayi Brothers and others have to do with themselves?
After Huayi Brothers' Xiao Wang spoke out, the king immediately called Liu Hao personally to apologize.
After all, Huayi Brothers were his bosses and gave the king face, so Liu Hao did not take this matter to heart.
But Liu Hao understood something in his heart. It turned out that someone in Huayi Brothers was dissatisfied with him.
But the Huayi Brothers were still not within the scope of Liu Hao's suspicion.
Thinking of the last conversation with Zheng Donghan just now, Liu Hao was very sure that there must be someone else behind the scenes.
Think back to the earlier incident when Huayi Brothers sold shares in their record company to PolyGram.
In Liu Hao's view, Huayi Brothers sold its shares to PolyGram at such a price, which was completely a cheap sale. Liu Hao didn't believe the lame reason Xiao Wang told the media at all.
"Unless PolyGram holds some leverage, Huayi Brothers have no choice but to do this..."
Liu Hao always thought so in his heart.
Huayi Brothers sold their shares after their own scandals subsided...
"When my scandal broke out, if it was the Huayi Brothers who were behind the scenes, and PolyGram knew about it, they threatened to tell me..." Liu Hao made a guess in his mind.
Liu Hao was sure in his heart that if this was the case and he knew about it, he would definitely not cooperate with Huayi Brothers again.
So Huayi Brothers' shares in their own record company are likely to be worthless.
Huayi Brothers must also understand this truth.
It's indeed a handle.
"What Zheng Donghan said just now was ambiguous, and he refused to reveal the other person, just because that other person is Huayi Brothers, and PolyGram made a promise to buy shares from Huayi Brothers..." The more Liu Hao thought about it, the more he felt like this
possible.
However, all this is Liu Hao's speculation. Liu Hao has no evidence. He only thinks that there is a high possibility that Huayi Brothers are behind the scenes.
"Huayi Brothers are indeed closely related to the director named Teng. The TV series "Can't Find the North" shot by director Teng was shot by Huayi Brothers..." Wang Jinghua made a thoughtful analysis and suddenly thought of something,
Then he said loudly:
"I remembered that Huayi Brothers' film and television company has signed a contract with a director named Teng. Xiao Wang of Huayi Brothers once made a high-profile announcement to the media that he would invest in the next film of that director named Teng. This was also published in the newspaper.
thing....."
As she said this, Wang Jinghua went out and brought back a thick stack of newspapers, picked out the news and showed it to Liu Hao.
This really does happen.
"The relationship between the director named Teng and Xiao Wang of Huayi Brothers is really good." Liu Hao looked at the two people hugging each other in the news, laughing very happily, and couldn't help but snorted, feeling more sure.
"I'll make a call to confirm..." He said, looking for the number in the phone book.
Zheng Donghan didn't want to say more and Liu Hao wouldn't force it. Liu Hao wouldn't call to ask again. If he doubted Huayi Brothers, he wouldn't call them either.
After Liu Hai called and ended the call, Wang Jinghua came in again and asked:
"Who are you calling?"
"I called director Chen Kaige. The movie "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" he is currently preparing is invested by Huayi Brothers, and I am the actor they inserted..."
"So, you called him because you wanted to resign from the show and cut ties with Huayi Brothers?"
Liu Hao nodded, "I did have this idea, but he refused..."
"Director Chen Kaige refused?" Wang Jing looked puzzled, but after a moment's thought, he understood.
With Liu Hao's current popularity, Liu Hao's participation in the film will definitely be good for the movie.
Liu Hao himself is topical, which will be beneficial to future movie promotions. Liu Hao's huge fan base will also benefit the movie box office.
It's like the later Fatty Zhou participating in "The City is Full of Big Steamed Buns", it's the same reason.
Liu Hao suddenly laughed and said, "I learned something very interesting. Director Chen asked me on the phone if I had any conflicts with Huayi Brothers. Xiao Wang from Huayi Brothers also called him before.
Yes, I want to replace me..."
Liu Hao sneered, "Heroes really have the same ideas, but it's a pity that Director Chen also rejected him..."
Directors like Chen Kaige are not short of investment now. There are people who are willing to invest. They don't have to beg their grandparents to get investment like ordinary directors, and they don't have to kowtow to investors.
For someone like Huayi Brothers who came together to invest, it is normal not to fake the color.
Liu Hao himself has no shortage of resources. Being able to participate in a movie directed by a big director would be the best way to gain experience. There is no regret if he can't participate. Liu Hao doesn't care about this matter.
Although there is no direct evidence, Liu Hao has now basically inferred that the outbreak of his scandal has something to do with Huayi Brothers.
Because of the king's friendly attitude towards him, Liu Hao actually still had a certain degree of fondness for the Huayi brothers in this life, but now this goodwill has disappeared.
When it comes to evidence, although the possibility is very high, after all, this is just my guess. Without evidence, Huayi Brothers are still my bosses after all. They have been kind to me. I can't "rather" like I did to the man named Teng.
"You can't let go if you kill someone by mistake."
Liu Hao has no intention of revenge now, but he can do something that will make the Huayi brothers regret.
Prove yourself more value and let them regret selling their record company shares.
Liu Hao thought for a while, and finally found Brother Ma's phone number and called him.
"Oh, your company has been established. It's called Painxun. Haha, it's a very good name. Now I want you to help me do something, um... develop a ring tones software...
What is a CRBT? When you dial the user's mobile phone and wait for the connection, what you hear is no longer the ringback tone of "all...all...", but a piece of music to replace these ordinary ringback tones...
If there is a shortage of talents, you go and recruit them, and I will provide the funds..."
After ending the phone call with Brother Xiao Ma, Liu Hao suddenly felt relieved, not only because it felt so good to call Brother Xiao Ma, but also because he wanted to bring the era of ringtones earlier.
