Chapter 234 Rong Zhixin
() Found the way home!
"Hello, Director Liu!" Qin Mohan and Bao Xiaoying met director Liu Jie at the door of the conference room, and they hurriedly said hello.
"Xiaoying, Mo Han, hello you guys." Liu Jie looked at the two of them coming together and asked, "You two know each other?"
Liu Jie met Qin Mohan. When Chen Fang was in the United States, he invited him to his house for dinner and signed a directorial agreement with Wild Fox Company for the other two dramas, so he still liked Qin Mohan quite a bit, but he didn't expect that Bao Xiaoying was also very familiar with Qin Mohan.
"Yes, Director Liu. Sister Bao and I are good friends." Qin Mohan pulled Bao Xiaoying's hand, and the two of them gave in and let Liu Jie enter the conference room.
Bao Xiaoying pinched her hand hard, and smiled gratefully when Qin Mohan saw it. She worked with Director Liu for the first time and didn't know his directorial style. With Qin Mohan's greeting, there would be less trouble from the crew.
Qin Mohan, who is far away in Shanghai, is communicating with the script before filming in the crew, while Chen Fang, who is in Yanjing, is smiling at someone.
The old-fashioned Liuquanju Restaurant is located in the restaurant, and the four of them are Chen Fang, the shape of the field. Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan are already filled with the special dishes of this restaurant. The field is leisurely sitting on the side and drinking by themselves. Looking at Chen Fang, who looks bitter, she smiles from time to time.
"Xiao Ye, Aunt Hong believes that she has never treated you badly. You are so unkind. Seeing that Aunt Hong's company is almost out of reach, the money is scattered and the wall is falling, and everyone pushes it. Do you think we are falling too slowly, and you wave a hoe to dig our corners. Shooting at our own people behind the back, that's what Mr. Jin teaches you? We both have never recognized the friendship of many years?" Li Shaohong became more and more angry as he spoke.
Chen Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Hong, it's really not my subordinates who deliberately poach people. I understand the rules in the industry. Wang Xiaocong told me several times, but I didn't sign Li Gengxing into the company. Why? Isn't it just to abide by the industry rules?"
Li Shaohong said angrily: "This girl Zhang Jiajia must have had contacted Yang Yang in private, otherwise this little guy would not have quarreled to terminate the contract with us."
As another founder of Rong Zhixin, Li Xiaowan, did not speak, sat aside and drank tea quietly. Looking at the two of them, she fell into deep thought. Today, she was inviting guests and entrusting the fields as an intermediary, which was to apologize to herself and Li Shaohong.
Regarding Chen Fang, Li Xiaowan has reported through media reports and revealed to people in the circle over the past few months, and believes that she has a deep understanding of Chen Fang.
With background, no one who doesn’t sell his old man’s face, and his partner Li Shaohong was also promoted by this old man. He is talented and has written several songs that are classics and is known as a music talent in the circle. He is rich, and his domestic Hurun Rich List’s net worth of 15 billion in September was 68th. He thought this was his ceiling. Unexpectedly, just two months later, his net worth has exceeded 20 billion, which is still US dollars. This is already the top rich in China, not to mention that there is also a wealthy Hon Hai Group with strong financial resources.
Chen Fang, who was rich, powerful and powerful, would be a little young and crazy. Before he came, he had already made a grievance and wanted to give the middleman a face and give up the dignity of the company. But unexpectedly, what he saw in the hotel today was another scene. After seeing Chen Fang, Li Shaohong came up and scolded her. Li Xiaowan's first reaction was to pull her, otherwise she would turn against her. If Rong Zhixin, who was already in a downward trend, was retaliated by the other party, then he would just close the door. Unexpectedly, the other party was so easy-going and did not turn against her even if she was scolded by Li Shaohong.
After calming down his mood, Li Xiaowan pulled up a partner she had worked with for many years: "Mr. Chen..."
"Don't. Mr. Li, everyone here is my senior. You can call me Xiao Shen or Xiao Ye. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Li Xiaowan looked at Chen Fang and said, "Okay, I'll just ask you to be big. Shao Hong and I are like my own sisters. You should also call me aunt."
"Okay, Aunt Li."
Although it is a respectful title, this title is obviously a completely different life from Li Shaohong. Li Xiaowan didn't care and continued: "Xiao Shen, first of all, I want to thank you. Thank you for providing Yang Yang with this opportunity, both a movie and a variety show, which has increased his current popularity to the front line of the country."
"Aunt Li, this is also because Yang Yang has good conditions. With Rong Zhixin's early push, we have done a little bit of operation and pushed him to the front line."
"Xiao Shen, we are all in the film and television industry. Everyone knows that the golden period of an artist is only a few years. If you can't catch it, you will probably have no chance in your life." Li Xiaowan reached out to stop Chen Fang and continued: "So, I know very well about Yang Yang's idea. Liang Hui was independent because of this idea that the company restricted her development."
Chen Fang filled the wine glasses for Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan, looked at the two and said, "When Liang Hui left you Rong Zhixin, your company's approach is not too kind."
Li Shaohong was a little angry when he heard this. He was about to refute it and was suppressed by Li Xiaowan beside him: "Xiao Shen, we and Liang Hui were a little unhappy back then. You also know that we regarded these children as our own children back then. My son and I were heartbroken for them. The children grew up and their wings were hard, so I wanted to fly one by one. Back then, my aunt and I were so angry that she had a bad intention, and everyone else was unsure after she left. So I said so many inappropriate words back then. If I had time to meet, I would apologize to her in person."
"Xiaowan!" Li Shaohong looked at his partner. He was also a tough person and had never been submissive to others. Now that he said such words here, it seems that the company is really on the verge of collapse.
Chen Fang was also a little sad about Li Xiaowan's attitude. Rong Zhixin became a leader in the industry with several dramas such as "The Song of the Ming Palace", "The Orange Is Red", and "April Day in the World". The casting of "New Dream of Red Mansions" was also famous, but it has begun to decline in this way in just a few years.
Chen Jie secretly reminded himself to take it as a warning, and then calmed down and said to the two: "Auntie Li, Aunt Hong, Yang Yang's affairs have reached this point. If he wants him to renew his contract with you, he probably won't agree. You must not bear to see a promising artist waste time. If both sides really confront the court, it will definitely be a situation where both sides suffer."
Li Shaohong looked at Chen Fang and said, "What do you think you should do? You can't let us sisters fall in the circle again. If we fall again this time, we will lose face."
Chen Fang looked at the two of them and said the solution he had considered over the past few days: "Aunt Hong, Aunt Li, and Rong Zhixin are currently facing. Everyone in the circle knows that if you say something is content with your heart, you two can't keep up with the situation."
Li Xiaowan stopped Li Shaohong, who was about to interrupt, and signaled Chen Fang to continue talking.
Chen Fang continued: "As far as I know, in your company, there are strict phased standards for the development of artists. Whether it is Aunt Hong or Aunt Li, you are very clear about the ability of the company's artists and what roles are suitable for. Every newcomer will go through the company's class, professional teacher guidance, closed training, and then start acting. When acting skills cannot support the role, they will continue to rest and cultivate skills."
"Isn't this right? Actors shouldn't be the main focus of practicing their acting skills?" Tian Jingzhe, who was beside him, suddenly spoke.
Chen Fang looked at the three of them. They were all seniors in the circle. They have been in the industry for many years and are definitely the best in the industry, but their grasp of the situation is a bit unsatisfied: "Yang Ying, the leader of the 'Four Little Flowers' in Nandu, the leader of Huayi Brothers. How do you think she has her acting skills?"
Li Shaohong sneered: "Yang Ying? She is also considered to have acting skills?"
Chen Fang sighed and said, "This is the current situation. Although she has no acting skills, she can become a famous young actress under the company's strong push, set up a personal studio, and earn tens of millions a year. You said that this allows young actors who practice acting hard every day to calm down. So our company has made clear plans in terms of actors. If they can take acting skills, we guarantee your role and ensure that your resources are absolutely worthy of your hard work. If they are not good at acting skills or do not want to work hard, we will consider packaging their character designs, taking variety shows or taking entertainment routes. Every artist has reasonable plans. In this way, even if they fail in the future, it will not be because of the company."
Chen Fang waited for the two of you to digest it and continued, "We never do 'free-range' training like you did. The company is a company, not a nanny. We plan your artist path, we provide resources, you help the company make money, we have an equal relationship. After artists become famous, they need to optimize their development with a scientific and standardized brokerage model. When you have a certain strength, we will form a team for you, allocate shares or set up a personal studio, and be your own boss. Even if both parties terminate the contract, as long as our film and television production does not fail, everyone will still have a cooperative relationship."
Chen Fang analyzed the problems that existed in Rong Zhixin, started eating something, poured himself a glass of wine and toasted a cup of field. This old man is also an old antique figure. The digital impression production company he established with his friends before was unable to keep up with the situation and went bankrupt and was acquired by the Wild Fox Company. Today, he heard Chen Fang's analysis of Rong Zhixin's words.
Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan looked at each other with bitter faces. They founded this Rong Zhixin company in 1995, one in charge of directing and the other in charge of artist brokerage. As the first domestic artist brokerage company, it was once so brilliant, and its artists were also gathered in big brands. However, it took only a few years to go from glory to decline. Cheng Kun, Zhou Xun, and Liang Hui all left one after another. Now there have been rumors in the circle that the "Rong Zhixin weird circle" and "the contract will be popular" and the existing artists in the company are also floating in the hearts and the team is not easy to bring.
Li Xiaowan looked at Chen Fang on the side, knowing that he said so much today, there must be a solution. She nodded to Li Shaohong and signaled her to start: "Xiao Ye, Aunt Hong and your Aunt Li are both older, have the burden of their families, and are also a little negligent in the management of the company. In addition, the social development speed in recent years is too fast, and we are gradually unable to keep up with the situation. Now it is the world of your young people. What do you think we, Rong Zhixin, should do to get out of the predicament?"
"Aunt Li, Aunt Hong, I have a suggestion, and I don't know whether to speak or not." Chen Fang paused for a moment.
"Xiao Shen, just say it. Your aunt Hong and I have already reached this point, and there is nothing we can't listen to."
"Aunt Li, I suggest that your company introduce advanced management mechanisms and market-oriented the company. Don't use the previous 'family' and 'free-range' methods to manage artists. Just launch them directly, set up a team, package yourself, and the company is responsible for sorting out resources. As long as you have resources in hand, you will not be afraid of artists losing them. Didn't Huayi brothers rely on resources to hear Wang Jinhua's departure?"
"It's easy to say, resources all cost money. Aunt Li and I have not had any new dramas in recent years. It's enough to earn the little money by relying on artist agents." Li Shaohong said.
Li Xiaowan looked at the two of them, thought carefully, and then said formally: "Mr. Chen, if Shao Hong and I give up part of our shares and invite you to invest, what do you think?"
"Xiaowan, you..." Li Shaohong was interrupted by Li Xiaowan: "Shao Hong, I actually have this idea long ago. In 2008, Ali's Ma Yun had contacted me and wanted to invest in our company, but they had money but lacked resources in the circle. I have been hesitating. Now Xiao Shen does not lack funds or resources. Why don't we cooperate with him?"
Chen Fang looked at the two and said sincerely: "Aunt Li, I really appreciate your trust. Since you have proposed it, I won't say hypocritical things. I have been thinking about the matter between Rong Zhixin and Yang Yang these days. No matter how it is resolved, both parties will have to break up. But if the two parties can merge together, there will be no problem. First, invest in Yang Yang in the name of Rong Zhixin to help Yang Yang establish a personal studio, and the two parties can peacefully resolve the dispute; secondly, the large amount of resources of the Wild Fox Company can give to the artists of your company to help them grow up quickly, which should be a win-win cooperation."
Li Shaohong interrupted Chen Fang and continued to say, looking at him and said, "Xiao Ye, let's discuss this matter if we go back or discuss it. We are here to solve Yang Yang's problem today, and we didn't expect to sell our company."
Chen Fang picked up the wine glass, looked at Li Shaohong and said, "Okay, no problem, Aunt Hong, no matter how you decide in the end, I hope you can resolve the contract issue peacefully with Yang Yang. I really don't want this incident to make us unhappy."
Li Shaohong drank a drink with him: "With Xiaoye, you are so heart-warming about it today, Aunt Hong won't blame you."
