Six hundred and seventieth seventh public betrayal
Wang Jinghua is undoubtedly a very strong person, and his brazen departure from Chengtian was definitely the largest artist exodus in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Even when he went to Chengtian, Wang Jinghua never positioned himself as a subordinate.
Chengtian Shibali Chengtian owns 75% of the shares and Wang Jinghua holds 25%. It is a subsidiary of Chengtian.
Chengtian went on a massive acquisition spree and built a media group in just one or two years. Wu Bo attempted to integrate the resources of all the companies in the group and have them under unified control. However, he encountered a strong backlash from Wang Jinghua.
When "Red Cliff" was being promoted, Chengtian and Sohu went to war and had a head-on fight.
However, for the promotion needs of his artists, Wang Jinghua showed favor to Sohu in private, kept close contact with him, and slapped Cheng Tian hard in the face.
Financially, Chengtian 18 was completely independent, which made Wu Bo very angry, which directly led to the subsequent lawsuit. Wu Bo, the legal representative of Chengtian 18, sued Wang Jinghua, the actual manager, to the court, demanding to know the reason for the lack of dividends.
Company operating conditions, review company accounting books, board of directors meeting minutes, meeting resolutions, etc.
Then he ran away again, and Chengtian Shiba became Shiba Culture.
Wang Jinghua, who firmly holds the power of managing artists under his management, has also benefited from this. He has good relationships with many directors, and because of his several established Hong Kong stars, he has also become friends with some Hong Kong directors.
Only then can you occupy a place in the entertainment industry just by being an artist manager without any production or distribution capabilities.
But times have changed. Now is the era of capital. Making good friends with one or two directors is far less useful than maintaining a good relationship with executives of a large company.
Otherwise, Wang Jinghua's artists would not be worse year after year, and many of them would leave one after another.
Du Yang used to be the publicity director at Huayi, and he and Wang Jinghua were colleagues and had a good relationship. After moving to Wanda, Wang Jinghua also received a lot of resources.
Movies such as "Beijing Love Story", "My Deskmate", "One Step Away", "Monster Hunt", etc. all have the participation of Wang Jinghua's artists.
Wang Jinghua also knew what Du Yang was planning, and both sides just got what they wanted.
Wanda is one of the largest companies in China, and it does not act as an artist manager. It participates in the investment and production of more and more movies every year, and all of them are large-scale productions. It has become an important source of resources for Wang Jinghua.
Although I still don't know how much Du Yang thinks of Zhou Dongyu, this is also a ladder to maintain the relationship between the two parties. Wang Jinghua will never terminate the contract.
He even pushed Chen Yan out and asked him to take the blame. After all, Chen Yan was the one who talked about everything on the table.
Although Chen Yan was angry, there was nothing he could do about it. It was definitely their agency's fault. Missing an important role was definitely a huge loss for the actor.
If he were an ordinary actor, there would be nothing wrong with him, but when Du Yang came to stand up for Zhou Dongyu, he had to give an explanation.
"Mr. Du, I'm sorry. I made my own decisions in this matter. I wanted to see if I could participate in part of the investment and co-produce it with Han and Tang. That's why I pissed off Director Tang."
Chen Yan apologized repeatedly, "But don't worry, Mr. Du, Dongyu is now the most important artist in our company. All our planning and resources are top-notch. Within three years at most, there will definitely be a place for her among the four young actresses born in the 1990s!"
"
Seeing that Du Yang still didn't express anything, he looked at Zhou Dongyu again and said pleasantly, "Dongyu, take the time to read the original work of "Left Ear" twice. I will take you to meet Su Youpeng in a few days."
Zhou Dongyu didn't react at all, she wasn't stupid, she was obviously a piece of cake.
And this pie is not big enough, far from being comparable to "Mysterious Superstar".
Du Yang shook his head and persisted, without beating around the bush, "Mr. Wang, Bo Nuo Shiba made such a big mistake, which is very detrimental to Zhou Dongyu's development. I think it's better to terminate the contract. We are all still friends.
"
It's already a bit unpleasant to hear that we are still friends even after the contract has been terminated.
Wang Jinghua's eyes narrowed, and of course he understood the meaning of these words. He didn't expect Du Yang to be so determined.
Immediately, I gave a few more words of advice and agreed readily.
After signing the contract quickly, Wang Jinghua handed over a contract and said with a smile, "Although the contract has been terminated, the company is still Dong Yu's natal family. I will help you fight for any suitable roles in the future. Then
It’s almost noon now, let’s go have a meal together, I’ve already booked a hotel.”
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your kindness. The company has a lot of things to do and several projects that I cannot leave without. I'd better take the time to come here today. Maybe next time." Du Yang declined Wang Jinghua's invitation with a smile and stood up with the contract.
"That's such a coincidence. I won't disturb Mr. Du's work anymore. Let's make an appointment another day."
Wang Jinghua sent Du Yang away with a smile, and then turned back to the office, his face already covered with gloom.
Du Yang's attitude made Wang Jinghua feel a little uneasy. He had no production ability and was subject to too many checks and balances. He had to find a breakthrough.
Wang Jinghua also asked Chen Yan to go back first. He also manages a brokerage company and has a lot of things to do.
But what Wang Jinghua didn't see was that the moment Chen Yan closed the door and turned to leave, his expression was almost the same as when she turned back to the office.
There were some problems between Wang Jinghua and Du Yang, Du Yang and Li Xiaoping were good friends, and the cooperation between Shiba Culture and Guangxian became less solid.
The situation of the Eighteenth Culture, which was originally divided between various forces, suddenly changed, and Chen Yan had to consider his own future.
"Aunt Du, what should I do in the future? Which company should I sign with?"
Zhou Dongyu, who left Eighteen Culture and lost his agency, couldn't help but ask Du Yang.
"I have prepared a team for you, but the agent has not found a suitable candidate yet. I will look for another one in a while," Du Yang said with a smile.
"This year you have filmed two movies with heroines in a row, and you have a role in Ning Hao's "Heart Blossoms". Don't miss your classes at the film school. For the time being, focus on your studies. You are still young, and there are many things to do.
Chance."
After Du Yang finished speaking, he fell into deep thought. Zhou Dongyu could only nod in agreement and not disturb her.
Originally, Du Yang wanted to have a deeper cooperation with Wang Jinghua. As the vice president of Wanda Film and Television, she was definitely not satisfied with her current position.
As a talent proficient in the entire industry chain of film and television project development, production, and marketing, Du Yang has greater ambitions, just like his former boss Song Ge.
When I left Huayi, I went to Song Ge's Perfect World as the vice president, and then I went to Wanda with Song Ge.
She was originally invited to be the general manager when Song Ge left Wanda to establish Ferris Wheel, but after working as Song Ge's assistant for several years and understanding his ambitions, she had the same idea in her mind.
Going to the Ferris wheel is also a part-time job. At most you can get a small share of the shares, so why not be your own boss.
Nowadays, a lot of capital is flowing into the film and television industry. A well-connected producer like her is definitely the target of capital pursuit. It is easy to set up a company and then raise funds.
Originally, she wanted to recruit Wang Jinghua, but as soon as this incident came out, she felt that Wang Jinghua was no longer a qualified partner.
Then you have to go it alone, and you need to find a big company to back you up. Wanda has a ready-made one, but it’s far from enough.
The four major companies under the Han and Tang dynasties all developed from small studios. Now they have complete film and television production, publicity and marketing capabilities, and can independently produce medium-cost movies and not-too-complex large-scale TV series.
In addition to relying on the Han and Tang Dynasties, the four companies also cooperated with Cultural Investment Holdings, Oriental Pearl, dmg Media, and Great Wall Film and Television Media, which is equivalent to finding two backers to develop to the current scale.
In addition to Wanda, Du Yang also needs a backer, and Hantang Media, the largest private film and television company in the country, is the best choice.
As for the competitive relationship between Wanda and Hantang, cooperation and competition are everywhere among major companies in the entertainment industry. Even Huayi and Hantang can cooperate, so it is not a problem at all.
Having decided, Du Yang began to contact Ye Nian and Zhang Qiang.
There was an investment from a fund, and Du Yang, who had his own capital, easily reached an agreement with the two giants.
Hantang Media, Wanda Film and Television, Du Yang, and another fund jointly established Haoyang Film and Television Culture Media Co., Ltd.
Du Yang officially resigned from his position as vice president of Wanda Film and Television and became general manager of Haoyang Film and Television Culture Media.
Whether it is the departure of another Wanda Film and Television executive after Song Ge's resignation, or the cooperation between Hantang and Wanda, everyone in the industry is raising eyebrows.
Wang Jinghua was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect Du Yang to turn around and cooperate with Hantang Media.
However, what followed was a piece of news that could be called a disaster, which made her panic.
With the support of Houde Fund, Chen Yan also received investment from Hantang Media. The three parties established Ten Film and Television. Chen Yan served as the general manager of Ten Film and Television, and took away seven or eight artists including Mei Ting and Ji Jie. .
Moreover, after Zhou Dongyu terminated her contract with Bo Nuo Shiba, she signed a contract with Shijian Film and Television again, and general manager Chen Yan personally acted as her agent.
After the contract was terminated and re-signed, the agent remained the same, but the actual agency was no longer 18 Culture, but half an artist under Hantang Media.
And her godmother Du Yang is now also a partner of Hantang Media.
Wang Jinghua lost a potential new star, a capable assistant, and one of the most important collaborators. In an instant, there was a feeling of betrayal and alienation!
