Chapter 504: Must go to the concert, Li Bokais attitude changes
Li Bokai is the real controller of Phoenix Entertainment.
Not to mention how extraordinary his status is in the current Chinese entertainment industry, but he is definitely one of the people who stand at the highest position.
But now I feel an inexplicable sense of frustration.
His brother, who is the chairman of the company, asked him for concert tickets.
He actually thought about it but couldn't find anything to do.
In China's entertainment industry, even the three major entertainment industries that compete fiercely with each other actually have various inseparable cooperations with each other.
It is said to be a circle, but it is actually a network.
The various relationships in the entertainment industry are complicated. They seem to be two companies without any connection.
But if you trace the origin carefully, you can always find some distant or close relationship.
There are no more than six relationships between any two people.
But in the entertainment industry, it doesn’t require so many people.
It's just that the emergence of Tongji Entertainment broke this law.
From its inception to the present, Tongji has hardly relied on any original capital.
Almost entirely relying on Xu Ji's efforts, he started a new business on his own.
This is also the reason why Phoenix Entertainment wanted to ban Sha Yetong and Xu Ji for so long but was unable to do so.
But now, this matter has given Li Bokai another headache.
...
"sure?"
"Even if it is acquired at a high price, there is nothing you can do?"
When Li Bokai heard his assistant's words, he asked again in disbelief.
After all, there are so many stars in the entertainment industry who hold concerts. If nothing else, even some of the most popular singers and singers will not lack a mere concert ticket as long as they have money.
What's more, a large company with its own background like Phoenix Entertainment.
It's impossible to get one or two tickets.
But now it seems that this common sense is going to be broken here at Tongji Entertainment.
"Indeed."
"In order to prevent ticket scalpers from appearing, Tongji Entertainment has had this ticket-grabbing rule since Sha Yetong's concert."
"It must be a real-name ticket, and the ticket cannot be transferred. Even if you cannot go to the concert, as long as the ticket has not been inspected, you can still get a full refund after the concert."
"If you ask me, the top executives of Xu Ji and Tongji Entertainment are also idle."
"What does this ticket scalping have to do with them? The higher the ticket price is, the more it will show the singer's popularity."
...
Hearing the assistant's complaints, Li Bokai became unusually silent.
He didn't view Tongji's decision that simply.
In recent years, almost everyone has a deep hatred for scalpers.
Performance ticket prices are deliberately inflated, making it impossible for most ordinary people to buy tickets at normal prices.
In fact, it is quite common.
By doing this, Tongji obviously expressed his attitude, and at the same time it was equivalent to earning a wave of fame.
This approach is actually understandable, and it is definitely beneficial to Tongji.
But Li Bokai didn't just see things on the surface.
After all, don’t many singers and companies know that ticket scalping for their concerts is rampant?
Of course he knew it, and even if he knew it, he deliberately condoned it.
There are also some companies and singers who are secretly cooperating with scalpers and companies without any cover-up.
The purpose is to increase ticket prices and obtain more revenue from them.
This has almost become one of the unspoken rules in the current entertainment industry.
Even if some so-called clean-minded celebrities are unwilling, there is no way to avoid it.
But Tongji Entertainment didn’t pay any attention to this aspect.
It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many interest groups.
Those people are almost all wolves who only see immediate benefits.
Even a big company like Phoenix Entertainment would feel extremely disgusted if they got involved.
So I'm too lazy to care about this aspect.
It’s not like there’s no money to be made anyway.
Tongji didn't seem to be afraid of this at all.
However, Li Bokai quickly realized that Tongji Entertainment now has such confidence.
The number of artists under Tongji is small, and the frequency of concerts is very low.
It can be said that Tongji's singers hold concerts most likely not for the so-called making money.
Today's Tongji is more like a film and television company, and it is indeed confident to say such things.
And the most important thing is that Xu Ji has a pretty good relationship with the official side.
Li Bokai learned a little bit about it and found out that the so-called real-name ticket purchase this time was in cooperation with the official website.
On the contrary, those scalpers and companies do not dare to do so-called tricks.
It can also be said that it is not worth it. Today, Tongji has an increasingly influential influence in the entertainment industry.
For a domestic tour concert, there is really no need to offend the other party.
...
"well......"
"I didn't expect that what I thought about doing before would be done by Tongji instead."
Li Bokai sighed helplessly.
He's not telling lies.
When he first took over Phoenix Entertainment, he indeed had such ambitions.
I feel that Phoenix Entertainment can get rid of the three major entertainment companies and become the only one in the entertainment industry.
At least you don't have to follow these so-called rules within the circle.
Because Phoenix Entertainment itself sets the rules.
But although I thought well, I finally took control of the company completely in my own hands.
Only then did Li Bokai realize how complicated all this was.
On the contrary, he began to worship his deceased father again.
In the past, he felt that his ability exceeded his father's.
But now it seems that the other party can start from scratch and develop Phoenix Entertainment to its current scale. How much ability does it require?
...
"Mr. Li, do you need me to squat down and grab tickets for you?"
"I heard that for Kong Cheng's concert, every time a ticket is refunded, new tickets will be released."
"With any luck..."
Before the assistant finished speaking, Li Bokai interrupted him directly.
"No need."
"I can handle this matter myself. You go ahead and do your work."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Bokai said.
He, the actual leader of Phoenix Entertainment, actually had to ask his subordinates to squat and grab tickets for a concert.
Just listening to it makes people feel a little ridiculous.
Moreover, after this incident, Li Bokai suddenly had a different idea.
Maybe my previous thoughts were wrong.
Tongji's development trend is unstoppable, especially after opening up the international market, its foundation has almost become more stable.
Before, he had always regarded Tongji as his potential opponent.
Now Li Bokai feels that this is a bit too stupid.
Although it is true that some resources and markets will be taken away by Tongji, it does not necessarily mean that they will become mortal enemies.
Li Bokai could not accept the win-win situation before, but now it seems that it is not bad.
...
"What?"
"Li Bokai wants us tickets for Kong Cheng's concert?"
After Xu Ji heard Youman's words, he thought for a while that he was hallucinating or mishearing.
"That's right, it's Li Bokai, the Li Bokai from Phoenix Entertainment."
Youman nodded and confirmed the news for Xu Ji.
"I answered the call in person, and it was also called by Li Bokai himself."
"There is a high probability that he could not find your contact information, so he called me."
"The attitude is quite friendly. He said that he wanted two tickets on behalf of his younger brother, Li Borui, the chairman of Phoenix Entertainment, because of his personal relationship."
Xu Ji:......
He thought Li Bokai had suddenly had a convulsion.
I didn’t say that the two companies were mortal enemies before, but they could definitely be considered competitors with bad relations.
Why did he suddenly come to ask for tickets?
"What is he going to do?"
Youman shook his head.
"I didn't say anything else. It seems that I really just want two tickets."
Youman also began to analyze.
"Although Li Bokai's position in Phoenix Entertainment is not high, he is asking for votes for his brother, the chairman of the board."
"But everyone knows that Li Borui is just a puppet in Phoenix Entertainment. The real person in charge is the big brother Li Bokai."
"Shall we give it?"
"I didn't agree directly. I just said that I would go and see if there are any extra tickets."
Of course there are extra tickets, and for Kong Cheng's concert, a lot of friendly tickets were actually given away.
In particular, some people from Tongji Entertainment Company have corresponding internal tickets.
There are also some tickets that Youman has set aside and will give away in the name of the company or Kong Cheng personally.
These are actually just small things, neither big nor small.
But both Youman and Xu Ji knew that Li Bokai even made this call specifically, and it was definitely not just for these two tickets.
In other words, the way he called himself was a bit thought-provoking.
...
"I think Li Bokai has taken the initiative to bow to us."
"I want to improve my relationship with Tongji."
This is actually not difficult to guess, Youman said proactively.
"Give him some tickets for the front row seats."
"There's no need for us to be stingy about things like this."
Xu Ji also nodded, agreeing with Youman's view.
In the final analysis, the old grievances between Phoenix Entertainment and Tongji did not attract Xu Ji's attention that much.
In other words, there is really no need to care about the current Tongji.
Li Bokai's so-called apology or submission may seem a bit ridiculous, and one may even think that Tongji's side is over-interpreting it.
Considering the identity of the other party, being able to take the initiative to ask for two tickets is actually enough to explain everything.
If you dig deeper, it seems a bit stingy.
Of course, Phoenix Entertainment's proactive show of goodwill did not have much impact on Xu Ji and Tongji Entertainment.
Just because Xu Ji gave the tickets did not mean he was really announcing that he wanted to make peace with Phoenix Entertainment.
In other words, in his opinion, Tongji Entertainment had not deliberately targeted Phoenix Entertainment before.
The reason is that we happened to meet each other in the film and television market or some other fields.
Tongji's cooperation with outside companies is actually relatively restrained, or it can be said that the number of times is limited.
Not just for Phoenix Entertainment.
Even when it comes to poaching people, it's only when Phoenix Entertainment's artists actively want to change jobs that they agree.
...
"I see."
Youman nodded.
In fact, she didn't have to guess, she also knew Xu Ji's attitude.
After all, Tongji now, even as the person in charge, does not pay much attention to the three major entertainments.
It's not the arrogant kind that doesn't look down upon.
But with Tongji's current development, the three major entertainment companies really can't cause much hindrance to them.
Tongji Entertainment is a latecomer, and the market is hardly differentiated by these original large companies.
Rather, they grabbed it bit by bit.
Especially in the field of film and television, whether it is the movie or TV series market, Tongji has always followed the rules.
But inevitably, Tongji's film and television still had a huge impact on the previous market.
For example, for the three major entertainment companies, it is estimated that with the development of Tongji, the income from film and television will decline significantly compared with previous years.
Phoenix Entertainment is fine, but Smallpox, a company that started its career in film and television, will suffer the biggest loss of profits.
However, Youman also heard relevant news during this time, and the smallpox side has begun to expand into the international market.
In other words, the other party did this even earlier than them.
It's just that most of the movies and TV series produced have received mediocre responses, and it can even be said that they have no influence at all in China.
On the contrary, Tongji came from behind, and now Tongji Entertainment's company in the United States has begun to stand out with the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
According to the news from Martin, there are already countless companies that want to discuss cooperation for the second film alone.
Some want to participate in investment and get a share of the pie, some want to insert advertisements into the movie, and some want to insert actors into the movie.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Youman doesn't know much about the rules in the United States, but Martin handles everything in an orderly manner.
This made Youman feel a little emotional. Although Xu Ji, the boss, didn't take care of things very much.
But he is indeed very unique in employing people. No wonder he directly decided on the identity of the person in charge of Martin.
Of course, if Xu Ji knew the news, he would probably be a little surprised.
In fact, when he initially fell in love with Martin Mason, it was not because of his outstanding abilities, but because of his inextricable connections with Paige Pictures.
After all, Tongji Entertainment wants to gain a foothold in the United States, and the eight major film studios like Paige Pictures are definitely a very good ally.
But Xu Ji probably didn't expect that the current branch in the United States, under the management of Martin, has pretty good relations with various companies.
The only one he thought about before was Paige Pictures, because Martin wanted to completely get rid of his father's influence, but it was the one with the worst relationship, with almost no contact.
...
"Mr. Li, do you really want to go?"
At Phoenix Entertainment, several senior executives spoke hesitantly.
On the contrary, Li Bokai had completely looked away at this time and answered straightforwardly: "I have sent the tickets to Tongji, why don't you go?"
In fact, he just wanted to take this opportunity to let his younger brother attend the concert and at the same time improve his relationship with Tongji.
But now, after receiving the five or six tickets from Tongji, Li Bokai suddenly changed his mind.
Since the other party gave me extra tickets, he might also be able to attend Kong Cheng's concert.
Not only to listen, but also to let the media and other colleagues know that the two Li brothers from Phoenix Entertainment both went to the concert of Tongji's singer Kong Cheng.
