Beijing, General Manager Office of Juxing Company.
The luxuriously decorated room was filled with smoke and the air was filled with a choking smell. Jin Hongwei was sitting on the large desk, his bloodshot eyes staring at the phone on the table, as if something would pop out of it.
Come.
The ashtray next to the phone was filled with cigarette butts, and the two flattened cigarette boxes were casually thrown aside, looking pitiful and ravaged.
As the boss of Juxing, a well-known large agency in Beijing's entertainment industry, Jin Hongwei has always been confident and proud. He has promoted countless celebrity artists through his hands, including many big-name celebrities.
Although these big names eventually flew away, they gave Jin Hongwei Entertainment's manager the title of "Godfather". Although it cannot be said that he is omnipotent in the domestic entertainment industry, there are few who do not give him face.
Many new and young celebrities want to sign with Juxing, because relying on Juxing's connections and resources, it is not a dream to become famous quickly.
So in this circle, whatever Jin Hongwei wants, he can often get it easily.
However, in recent days, he has encountered trouble, big trouble!
First of all, a big project that was being negotiated with Xiangnan Satellite TV has been put on hold. This is a TV series with an investment of more than 100 million. Jin Hongwei spent a lot of money in the early stage to purchase the copyright, sign actors, and was gearing up to play with Xiangnan Satellite TV.
The big one.
He is confident that through this IP adaptation, he will become popular with a group of new people, clean up the poor operating conditions of Juxing Company in the past year or two, and re-establish his position in the industry.
But what Jin Hongwei never expected was that Xiangnan Satellite TV had clearly promised well and had done all the internal public relations. The only step left was to formally sign the contract, but in the end he received a slap in the face!
Jin Hongwei was immediately stunned.
He had been preparing to film this TV series for at least a year. When soliciting investment, he patted his chest and assured investors that the partner was Hunan Satellite TV and it would only premiere on Hunan Satellite TV.
Originally, this was a very logical thing. Although Jin Hongwei was based in the capital, he had a long history of cooperation with Xiangnan Satellite TV, and his personal connections were deep-rooted. There was no one at the top of the satellite TV station who did not know him.
And this cooperation is also a good thing for Hunan Satellite TV.
So why did something unexpected happen suddenly?
Of course, Jin Hongwei was not willing to give in, and immediately flew to Shacheng to find connections. However, his friends and buddies from the satellite TV station used to avoid him. He would not answer his phone calls and would not even see anyone, and he could not even walk through the door of the TV station.
It was as if overnight he had become an evil being despised by everyone.
After being rejected one after another, Jin Hongwei would definitely not give up and even die, he had to die knowingly, right?
But before he could figure it out, another bad news came from the capital. Several contracted artists under Juxing filed a joint lawsuit with the court, demanding the termination of the contractual relationship between the two parties.
As for the reason for the lawsuit, the main reason is that Juxing's contract is too harsh, seriously infringes on the artist's personal freedom, and even forces the artist to accompany him to wine and dinner.
This was considered a big news. The old nest was on fire. Jin Hongwei couldn't care about Xiangnan Satellite TV, so he quickly flew back to the capital from Shacheng to put out the fire. He was exhausted from the torment.
While dealing with the lawsuit, Jin Hongwei asked people everywhere to get information and wanted to know who was dealing with him.
Xiangnan Satellite TV broke the contract and its artists rebelled. It cannot be a coincidence that these two major events collided. Jin Hongwei has been in this circle for decades and behaves very domineeringly. He has offended many people.
In the past two days, Jin Hongwei has been having trouble sleeping and eating poorly, and his dreams are all nightmares!
Jingle bell~
The phone on the desk suddenly rang, and the ringing sound was particularly harsh.
But as if Jin Hongwei had grasped a life-saving straw, he grabbed the phone at lightning speed.
"Hello?"
After chatting with the person on the phone for a few minutes, his face turned from green to red, then to white, and finally turned black into coke!
Through the relationship with a close friend, Jin Hongwei finally found out the reason why Xiangnan Satellite TV broke the contract. It turned out that the newly promoted deputy director and program director of Xiangnan Satellite TV, Lu Zhenhai, was disgusted with him and decided not to cooperate with Stars.
When he first heard the news, Jin Hongwei felt very unbelievable, because when Lu Zhenhai took office, he immediately ran to Shacheng to pay homage to the dock. Lu Zhenhai's attitude towards him was very affectionate, and he couldn't help but fall out with him.
Falling out?
Then the other party mentioned a person's name, that was Lu Chen!
If Jin Hongwei has to ask which star in the entertainment industry he has the deepest memory of, then Lu Chen is definitely one of them. This young man who has risen rapidly in the industry is simply a pain point for Jin Hongwei and he regards him as his enemy.
The grudge between the two started when Lu Chen rejected him. Jin Hongwei also tried to suppress Lu Chen, but ended up getting slapped in the face again and again.
Later, Lu Chen skyrocketed, not only making connections in the industry, but also gaining connections with the Li family. Jin Hongwei tried to make some moves but had no choice but to watch him become the most popular star among the newcomers.
.
And Xiangnan Satellite TV actually chose to terminate cooperation with Lu Chen because of him.
Jin Hongwei felt like vomiting blood, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew that Xiangnan Satellite TV must not be reconciled to the current predicament of declining ratings of TV series and variety shows, and wanted to repair the relationship with Lu Chen, the popular king, and then treated him as a meeting gift.
In the industry, who doesn’t know that Jin Hongwei has a grudge against Lu Chen?
Shonan Satellite TV's fallout should be the first piece of dominoes to fall. The rebellion of many artists under Juxing may also be related to this matter, but he got the news too late.
And after leaving the golden brand of Xiangnan Satellite TV, what is left for him?
Jin Hongwei suddenly felt a sense of fear.
At this moment, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and the secretary walked in tremblingly.
"Mr. Jin, someone is looking for you..."
Jin Hongwei suddenly became furious: "What are you doing! Didn't I tell you not to disturb me? I won't see anyone!"
The secretary almost burst into tears. She timidly stepped aside, and then two uniformed men following her came forward. One of them said in a deep voice: "Are you Jin Hongwei, the general manager of Juxing Company?
"
"I am the deputy captain of the Beijing Economic Investigation Brigade"
"You are suspected of contract fraud"
It's over!
Looking at the two policemen in front of him who had just shown their IDs, Jin Hongwei's mind went blank.
He knew that he had failed this time, completely failed!
