"That's it, Mr. Wang, I have something else to do."
Li Qian shook his head and hung up the call from Wang Wei, the general manager of Chengtian Entertainment in charge of the film department.
"I've called all the calls that need to be made. No one should bother me with phone calls anymore."
In addition to Bernard, Guangxian, and Huayang Media, there are also other companies that have contacted me.
Galloping Pony, who has been working on TV series before, is ready to enter the film industry.
Ciwen Media, which stole the distribution rights of "Seven Swords" from Bernard, also called me.
And Chengtian Entertainment, which has been on the rise in the past two years, just received a call from the boss of their film branch.
Putting the phone away, Li Qian felt helpless, "Why do I suddenly feel like everyone has my contact information?"
Tong Liya on the side smiled and said, "In the entertainment industry, phone calls should not be hidden."
"It seems that this private number can only be used as a work phone number. Let's get a new number."
Li Qian shook his head. The more people he came into contact with, the easier it was for his contact information to be revealed.
I heard that these film companies forced Ning Hao to change his number more than a dozen times before he finally couldn't find anyone.
Xiao Ma probably got his phone number from Li Guangjie. The last time I went to see him in Jade Bird, the movie "The Lancet" that Li Guangjie was filming was invested by Xiao Ma.
After getting a new phone number, it seems I can't tell him anymore, so I'll just leave it on my work phone.
It is not known where other companies learned about this.
"Li Qian, Chengtian is also a big company, don't you see me too?" Tong Liya asked curiously again.
In the past two years, Chengtian has been in the limelight and poached a large number of celebrities from Huayang Media.
In the media's writing, it seemed that Huayang was going to die and Chengtian would take his place and become the new entertainment giant.
Together with Neon's Ai Hui, he invested US$20 million in "Red Cliff" and became the largest investor. He was in the spotlight for a while and became another giant in the film and television industry.
"The Neon Man's bitch."
Li Qian looked disdainful, "Chengtian has nothing but money now. A company like this can't last a few years."
Although there is a lot of news in Chengtian, it is too empty. There is no publicity channel, no connections in all aspects, and it is useless to have money.
Even though Kim Young Ma, one of the most professional film and television production companies in the country, was acquired last year, the integration has not yet been completed.
Apart from money, Chengtian is even inferior to Jin Yingma in the professional field.
Snake swallow elephant is not so easy to digest.
Let’s look at the executives of Chengtian Film Business. General manager Wang Wei was just an ordinary independent producer before, and the head of the distribution department was the distribution director poached from China Film Warner Hengdian.
China Film and Warner Hengdian is almost an empty shell. China Film and Television now often asks China Film and Warner Hengdian to co-produce and distribute any films they have to benefit Warner and Hengdian.
China Film Warner Hengdian is also one of the co-distributors of "Certificate of Investment" and gets a share of the distribution fee and distributes it to Warner and Hengdian.
Of course, in exchange for support from other aspects of the two companies, this company is just an empty shell, and the company address is still in the Beijing Film Studio.
How powerful can a publishing director poached from a shell company be?
To put it bluntly, it is a company that has almost nothing in the film industry except money.
It was boring to talk about this, so Li Qian changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. I will accompany you to meet your agent."
Tong Liya didn't have much interest in these things either. She smiled and said, "Well, let's go, but don't be too cruel. Sister Li is also doing it for my own good."
"That's what she thinks is good for you. In fact, what she does is only bad for you."
Li Qian shook his head, "This is related to your career prospects, don't be too careless."
Tong Liya remained silent. Her agent had given her a role as a female villain in a love story before the filming of "Mother's Love" started. Recently, she has been cast in another love story, another love story, and they were both villains.
But she will be a senior in two months. She still wants to stay in school for a while in her last year of college, and she also needs time to rehearse for her graduation drama.
Plus, I really don’t want to take on the role of a villain in a love story.
But her own character will not refuse. Since she signed with a brokerage company, basically everything is arranged by her brokerage.
She just complained to Li Qian for a few words, and Li Qian planned to talk to her agent for her.
At a restaurant near the hotel where the crew was staying, Li Qian met Tong Liya's manager Wang Li.
"Yaya, who is he?"
Seeing Tong Liya coming with Li Qian, Wang Li's expression changed slightly.
Every agent attaches great importance to the feelings of their artists, especially female artists, and there is no exception.
"Sister Li, this is Li Qian."
Tong Liya quickly introduced, "Li Qian, this is Sister Li. Thanks to Sister Li for taking care of me in the past two years."
Li Qian smiled, gave her a reassuring look, and sat down opposite Wang Li.
Tong Liya hesitated for a second and sat down next to her.
"Hello Sister Li, I'm Yaya's friend, just call me Li Qian." Li Qian greeted.
Wang Li's eyes kept scanning Li Qian, and then looked at Tong Liya.
"Yaya, you asked me out, what's the matter?"
She didn't ask about the relationship between Tong Liya and Li Qian. It was so obvious that even a blind person could see it.
But I don’t plan to get to the bottom of it now. I’ll ask more about it when I get back.
Li Qian didn't talk nonsense and said with a smile, "Sister Li, I heard from Yaya that you have given her two more villain roles in modern emotional dramas?"
"Yes, there is a huge market for emotional dramas now, and there is a lot of hope for starring. Even supporting roles are hard to win," Wang Li said matter-of-factly.
Speaking of this, she also guessed Li Qian's purpose.
No wonder Tong Liya has been resisting taking those two dramas during this period and found various reasons. It turned out to be Li Qian.
Li Qian didn't say anything about the disadvantages of a female villain who plays a love story. Tong Liya said this countless times, but her agent still didn't take it seriously.
Let’s talk about the companies behind these two dramas.
"Of these two dramas, one is produced by Guangdong Dejin Culture, and the other is wholly owned by Jiangning Xingfu Blue Ocean."
"As far as I know, your company doesn't seem to have any business dealings with Jiangning TV Station," Li Qian said meaningfully.
Wang Li's expression changed, and she glanced at Tong Liya in a panic, then looked away and stared at Li Qian closely.
Li Qian smiled and said to Tong Liya, "Yaya, Sister Li and I will have a chat alone."
Tong Liya looked at the two of them and left obediently, finding a seat on the other side of the restaurant.
When she walked away and saw that Wang Li remained silent, Li Qian spoke.
"It seems that Sister Li has taken advantage of Jiangning TV Station."
"who are you?"
"My name is Li Qian, Yaya's friend." Li Qian leaned back on his chair and smiled.
After staring at Li Qian for two seconds, Wang Li sighed.
"Now that you know everything, there is nothing to say. Originally, I planned to wait until it was confirmed before telling Yaya. Happy Blue Ocean is under Jiangning TV, and the resources are not comparable to those now. I took her there for her own good.
