Chapter 422 comes from one of the seven majors, the pressure of Jiaxing's economy
The topic of "Struggle"'s counterattack has been hot for several days, and it also made many fans of this drama and fans of Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao very happy.
After all, this is the first time that the two of them have played the lead role in a drama, so the success of this drama is of great significance.
Chen Mubai also specially held a celebration banquet for this purpose, which was regarded as a reward for everyone who participated in the show. This time, almost all the stars who participated in the show came, and everyone congratulated Chen Mubai and Mubai Entertainment.
To be honest, before participating in this drama, no one expected that the ratings of this drama would be a big hit. They thought it would be fine if it would not hit rock bottom, but it gave them a huge surprise.
Not to mention becoming the king of the summer movies, it is really surprising to have two ancient costume masterpieces "The Warriors of the Tang Dynasty" and "Qianlong" under him.
The popularity of "Struggle" has also made the characters played in it popular, and Yu Fei's net worth has increased a bit. He has already acted in several popular dramas with supporting roles. It seems that he is not far away from his dream of becoming a leading actor.
Shang Ran became famous again because of this drama, which can be regarded as a model of successful return to the entertainment industry.
When Shang Ran's former company saw that Shang Ran was becoming popular, some senior officials were very unhappy. After all, they hid Shang Ran in the dark and didn't give her any resources until the contract with the company ended.
Now that she is popular, the senior management who hid her in the past knows the news and wants to mess with her again.
So, she found someone to go to Mubai Entertainment to communicate, hoping to give her some face and then hide her. The investors she offended in the first place had quite a lot of background.
The company that Shang Ran works for is Jiaxing Economics, one of the seven major companies. It is an economic company that specializes in signing artists. It is also the only company among the seven major companies that focuses on artists.
The rest have a media background, or are film and television production related to export, distribution, theaters, publicity, etc., and are mainstream media production companies.
There are many famous artists in Jiaxing Economy, including A-listers and superstars.
Even though many celebrities have their own personal studios, they still maintain a good relationship with the parent company. The studio also has Jiaxing's background, which is considered a cooperation.
Jiaxing Economics has very strong connections, resources and background, so in their eyes, although Mubai Entertainment is developing well, it is still just not bad.
Although Mubai Entertainment and Starway Entertainment have had conflicts, and they have become more and more serious, in the eyes of Jiaxing Economics, both companies are useless. Even though Starway Entertainment is already very large, it is still in the top seven
In my eyes, it still doesn't work.
Jiaxing Economics selects a few first-line celebrities who are worthy of Starway Entertainment. They can definitely become the first brother or sister of their company.
In terms of size, background, and resources, there is a huge difference. Therefore, although Mubai Entertainment can go against Starway Entertainment, it does not mean that it can arm-wrestle with Jiaxing.
This time, Jiaxing's intention to find someone to talk to was very tactful. Mubai Entertainment will continue to hide Shang Ran. Otherwise, they will target Mubai Entertainment from all aspects.
Isn’t there recent news that Mubai Entertainment will be filming a new TV series?
So good, there are many investors or sponsors out there who want to participate in this show, but it can tell others not to participate.
Including some celebrities participating in the show, the influence of Jiaxing Economics on the artists is still great, enough to prevent some well-known actors from participating in the show. This is its power.
Celebrities who are somewhat famous have some interactions with each other. If Jiaxing talks about it, no one will risk offending Jiaxing's reputation by participating in Mubai Entertainment's TV series.
After all, the entertainment industry is such a big one, and celebrities who are slightly famous know each other and often collaborate, so they still have to give them the face they deserve.
First- and second-tier stars give them face, while third- and fourth-tier stars are afraid of offending the first- and second-tier stars and Jiaxing Economics, so they give up the opportunity to join Mubai Entertainment.
...
"What should we do?" Lu Fang received a hint from Jiaxing Economics and came to Chen Mubai to discuss.
"Don't worry about him. I had nothing to fight against Xingcheng back then, let alone now that I have my own production team. I want to see how he can deal with me?"
Chen Mubai sneered: "I produce TV series. I invest my own money. I don't need other people's funds. I provide my own actors, and the company also has trainees to supplement them. I will find someone to cooperate with the veteran drama. If it doesn't work, I will find supporting actors and special actors."
I don’t believe his hand can be stretched that long?”
"As for sales, I still go to the TV station. His brokerage company cannot control the TV station, so he looks powerful, but in fact he is a toothless tiger, and he only appears to be majestic."
Chen Mubai doesn't like to be threatened. If he can't resist, he can only bear it. But if he has the ability to resist, he will definitely not bear it. If others want to deal with him, he will bite off a piece of their flesh!
But what he said is true. The biggest threat to him from Jiaxing's economy is the issue of actors.
But in fact, his main actors are all members of his own family, and they will not pay attention to the other party's threats. In terms of funds, Mubai Entertainment has sufficient funds and does not need external capital injection. He is confident enough to succeed.
Of course, he himself wants to accept external investment for this drama. After all, this represents cooperation with other companies and provides a foundation for future development. He himself also wants to connect with the media company to prepare for his future entry into the film industry.
prepare for.
Movies are not as simple as TV series. The arrangement of movies in theaters and promotion are very important, and they are controlled by those giant media companies. Without their help, he would not be able to make a splash in the film and television industry.
No matter how good your work is, it’s useless. If no one arranges films for you, how can you release it?
To take a step back, if I arrange a movie for you, it will all be shown at midnight, in the smallest hall, and at the worst time. How many viewers can this have?
If you don't give it publicity, no one will know about your movie when it comes out, except for those who are loyal fans.
The shooting of a movie costs a lot of money. For top theaters, the main purpose is to make money, but if you really have a conflict with them, they are willing to lose your profit to deal with you. Anyway, they can recover the cost from other movies.
, and the movie you invested in is at the end of its rope.
There are two types of movie theaters. One is those that cooperate with media companies. This kind of movie theaters have autonomy and will focus on profits. They do not completely listen to the media companies. They are partners of each other and Chen Mubai can fight for it.
Cooperative partner.
There is also a theater that is completely owned by a media company. This kind of theater is completely decided by the company. If it says it won't make a film for you, it won't be made. This is an act that harms others and does not benefit oneself. There is no room for grievances.
Therefore, for future development, Chen Mubai is thinking of cooperating with some media companies to build a good relationship and pave the way for further cooperation in the future.
What is needed is the exchange of resources, not the investment of funds. Mubai Entertainment is developing well and is not short of money. The liquidity on its books is enough to support the filming of a TV series.
Moreover, Chen Mubai has enough confidence not to rush into the street, so he can make money. He does not have to worry about the TV series failing, the company's capital operation being difficult, and then the capital chain breaking.
If there were conflicts with theaters and media companies, Chen Mubai would also have to weigh his own strength, but with artist companies, he would not be afraid at all. The worst I can do is not using you!
I can also reduce the rest of the background and resource blocking. No matter how awesome Jiaxing is, it can only block part of it but not all of it, so the resources are just reduced, not gone.
Besides, with Chen Mubai’s current fame, many programs want to invite him!
They may not be willing to sell Jiaxing’s thin noodles, but there are always some programs that are willing to find Chen Mubai.
Although Jiaxing's economic influence is great, it does not reach the point where it can dominate the world with one hand. After all, it is just an artist company, with the widest connections and abundant resources.
Other entertainment companies also have top stars, but Jiaxing specializes in this industry, does it well, and has more famous stars.
"I must protect my own employees. As long as she enters the company, I have the responsibility to be responsible for her. I don't want our company to become a capital and impersonal company." Chen Mubai said.
"Okay, I agree with this." Lu Fang agreed.
Mubai Entertainment is currently self-sufficient and has little need to rely on the outside world, so it is not particularly worried about conflicts with Jiaxing. After all, the two parties have no intersection or cooperation, so they have nothing to ask for from Jiaxing, and they are not afraid of losing anything.
"Call Shang Ran in." Lu Fang said into the phone, and the people outside followed suit.
Shang Ran came in with her agent, both of them were a little nervous, especially Shang Ran.
There was unconcealable panic in Shang Ran's pupils.
After all, she has already been hidden once. What should she do if she is hidden again?
She really didn't expect that the top management of Jiaxing Economics would find Mubai Entertainment and put pressure on it, which was completely beyond her imagination.
She has been suffering in her heart. According to experience, the company's most correct behavior is to give up on her, but there is hope in her heart. This is her last hope.
So when Chen Mubai and others met to discuss this matter, she was always afraid of the company's decision.
Now, it has finally arrived and it is time to announce the decision!
People within the company have also heard some news about the pressure exerted by Jiaxing Economics. This is also what Jiaxing Economics intends to do, using the public opinion of employees to put pressure.
As long as employees are afraid of Jiaxing's name, they will naturally reject Shang Ran, which to a certain extent will put pressure on Mubai Entertainment's top management, forcing them to make a decision.
The idea was good, but it was a pity that they underestimated Chen Mubai's determination.
"Don't be nervous, I said, as long as you join the company, you will be a family, and we will protect you."
Chen Mubai saw Shang Ran's nervousness and smiled to comfort him.
"Yes." Lu Fang said.
Maybe it was Chen Mubai's smile that had the effect, or maybe it was because when she was on the set, Chen Mubai's image as a director was fixed in her mind, so when Chen Mubai comforted her, she really calmed down.
"Ignore the pressure from Jiaxing Economics. The company will not listen to him. Don't be affected." Chen Mubai said: "However, they may target us outside, and your resources may be reduced. You must do this well.
Mentally prepare.”
When Chen Mubai revealed the company's decision, Shang Ran's heart finally fell. She was so shocked that a joyful smile appeared on her face.
She really didn't expect that Chen Mubai would choose to defend her and go against Jiaxing's economy. After all, from a profit perspective, it was definitely best to give up on her!
"Thank you, thank you!" Shang Ran said excitedly, with a trembling tone and a slight sob at the corner of his mouth.
She didn't know what to say, so she could only say "thank you" repeatedly. At this time, her heart was very excited and filled with ecstasy.
This can be regarded as the aftermath of the disaster. The pressure she faced was too great, especially with the lessons learned from the past. She really didn't want to live the kind of life she had before, which made her suffer.
If Mubai Entertainment really gave up on her, maybe she would be really disillusioned with this industry and would stay away from it forever, an industry that she loved but had given her endless pain.
Shang Ran's manager held her shoulders and comforted her, and both of them were very excited.
The relationship between the agent and Shang Ran is very good. Shang Ran is also a woman with a good personality. They get along like sisters. After many days of getting along, they have become close.
When she learned the news about Shang Ran, she was also worried about Shang Ran. Now that she knows that Shang Ran was right, she is also happy for her.
