1991 Starting from the core

Yang Yingying is in Dingxin, so of course her words still count.

But due to her long absence from management and her indifferent nature... no matter how much she said, sometimes it would not help.

She can support one or two serious female singers and actors, but she has no impact on the entire reform or even the unspoken rules of the entire entertainment industry.

Su Yuanshan fell into silence.

After a long time, he sighed: "It's not quite right to say that bad money drives out good money in the entertainment industry, but it is indeed developing in that direction."

Yang Yingying hummed softly: "I don't understand the general principle, but I think this is not good."

"Well, the entertainment industry can be considered as one that utilizes the value of the body to the extreme..." Su Yuanshan sighed, suddenly realizing that it was not good to say this in front of Yang Yingying, he stopped abruptly and shook his head: "Let's do this, sister-in-law... If you really want to quit because of your own interests and energy, I will naturally support you 100%. But now..."

Su Yuanshan gritted his teeth and said softly: "I think you shouldn't retreat."

"Just wait until I finish."

"Actually, I am aware of the phenomena you mentioned. I just... always feel that I should not be responsible for these, and I cannot control them."

Su Yuanshan said with a wry smile: "You said, I am just a professor, a business person, not an official. Even if I can't stand it, what qualifications do I have to point fingers at others? Especially the kind of you and me. The deal - you said that if they were officials, I could still report them, but they are not."

"Even if I really want to take care of it, the most I can do is take care of ATV. You know, in Dingxin, Lao Zhang is at most our partner, let alone the entire HK entertainment industry."

Yang Yingying nodded: "Yes, I know. ATV is much better, so I recommended two girls who plan to pursue an acting career to go to ATV."

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a moment later, Jiang Qingchuan's head poked in.

"Not finished talking yet?"

"Senior brother, please tell me your opinion." Su Yuanshan smiled and waved to Jiang Qingchuan.

He knew that according to Yang Yingying's character, these ideas, including talking to him about this matter today, or even inviting him to his home today... were very likely, no, it was definitely Jiang Qingchuan's idea for her.

Jiang Qingchuan coughed, walked into the house with a smile, and closed the door.

After sitting down next to his wife, Jiang Qingchuan glanced at his wife before looking at Su Yuanshan: "Where are we talking?"

"I advise my sister-in-law not to become a deserter."

"Why does it involve a war?" Jiang Qingchuan smiled and shook his head: "But you know your sister-in-law's character. Although she is a bit stubborn sometimes..."

Yang Yingying immediately touched her husband: "Why is he so stubborn?"

"Haha, okay, don't be stubborn. Xiaoshan, I personally think haha... this kind of thing... I can only say that everyone should clean the snow in front of their door, what do you think?"

Jiang Qingchuan's attitude is obvious. This trend that the entire industry is beginning to turn bad... I am afraid that personal power cannot stop it. Therefore, the best result is to take care of yourself.

"Well, senior brother makes sense." Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I didn't think about it, but first, my sister-in-law still needs to resume work. Then, I talked to Lao Zhang. When Dingxin Media was originally established, the goal was to promote the progress of the domestic film and television industry, and then further expand cultural promotion and export capabilities. This is not the case. In order to build a harem for someone, let anyone take whatever he wants, and select concubines and beauties."

Su Yuanshan's expression was very calm when he said this, but his words revealed his extreme dissatisfaction with Zhang Jianjun and today's Dingxin Media.

Jiang Qingchuan and Yang Yingying looked at each other and immediately said: "Xiaoshan, I heard... that there are female artists... involved in Dingxin..."

"Huh?" Su Yuanshan raised his eyebrows again: "Bribery?"

"It's not really...it's just that there are some rumors."

Su Yuanshan was really angry now.

After a moment of silence, he hummed heavily.

"Mom sells thread! You're fucking playing with fire!"

Dingxin Media Headquarters.

As the first entertainment company to enter Hong Kong with domestic capital, Dingxin Media has been going extremely smoothly in recent years. Especially after 1997, it served as a bridge for exchanges and development between Hong Kong and mainland culture and the film and television industry.

After the new millennium, relying on the strength of MP3.com and Netflix.com that were jointly established with Sony during the Internet bubble and their outstanding performance after the Internet tide came back, coupled with the full cooperation with ATV, Dingxin Media has It successfully reached the top two years ago and has become the largest entertainment company in Hong Kong and even the entire country, with numerous well-known artists under its umbrella.

For example, XX, XXX, XXX, etc. (Hahaha)

After its successful listing in 2001, Dingxin's market value has soared from HK$20 billion at the beginning of its listing to HK$130 billion, making it truly a giant in the cultural media field.

In the ownership structure, the two founders, Zhang Jianjun and Yang Yingying, are the largest natural person shareholders with 5.8% and 3% of the shares respectively.

In addition to the two natural person major shareholders, Yuanxin is the largest shareholder with 12.5% ​​of the shares, followed by Hongyuan Group with 7.8%, Oaktree Capital with 6.5%, Sony Entertainment with 5.2%, and other institutions. Shareholders are generated in the stock and secondary markets.

In the past few years, because of the absolute trust of the two natural shareholders from all parties, Zhang Jianjun and Yang Yingying had absolute control over Dingxin Media. And because of Yang Yingying's own reasons, Dingxin Media was ultimately under Zhang Jianjun's absolute control. .

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of this huge entertainment empire.

A man has almost absolute power in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and in one of the largest media companies... What does this mean?

As Su Yuanshan went upstairs, he felt like an idiot.

…

"What's Mr. Yang's opinion?"

At today's regular executive meeting, Zhang Jianjun looked at Yang Yingying with a smile after listening to the reports from the executives as usual.

For so many years, although Yang Yingying didn't care about things, he still showed full respect. After all, Jiang Qingchuan is standing behind him, and Su Yuanshan is standing behind Jiang Qingchuan - even without Su Yuanshan, Jiang Qingchuan's Hongyuan alone is already huge enough to be daunting.

"Well, okay." Yang Yingying sat on the left side of Zhang Jianjun. She nodded with a smile and opened the folder in her hand.

"Just now Mr. Tan mentioned that the next movie to be co-produced with Sony Pictures is Iron Man. The investment in this movie exceeds 150 million US dollars, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang." Tan Guangyao, the vice president in charge of film investment, nodded with a smile: "This movie has been in preparation for a long time. Sony originally wanted to shoot it themselves, but we got on board. Haha..."

After Tan Guangyao finished speaking, everyone started laughing.

After all, everyone knows the good relationship between Dingxin Media and Sony Pictures. The two parties have jointly shot and produced quite a few films, and also sent many domestic actors to the Hollywood stage.

It's just that... from a practical point of view, the actors who were sent over were "still a little bit behind in their acting skills."

But this is at least allowing Eastern faces to appear in Western films and TV shows.

"Yes." Yang Yingying nodded and opened the file: "The female artist we are participating in the filming is Nancy, right?"

"Yes." Tan Guangyao glanced at Zhang Jianjun and nodded again with a smile.

"Well, I personally don't think Nancy can do it." Yang Yingying crossed her fingers and put her elbows on the desk.

She is wearing a professional formal suit today, with slightly curved cuffs. She looks a bit like a strong woman, but because of her nature - to put it bluntly, she is famous for singing tender love songs since her debut, no matter how good her appearance is, Like, she doesn't have that temperament either.

Moreover, in the past few years, she had rarely participated in executive meetings. Even if she did, she had always been a member of the hand-raising committee, winning praise and compliments from everyone. Even if she occasionally has objections, she behaves very gently and appropriately...

There has never been such clear opposition as today.

After her words fell, everyone was stunned.

Including Zhang Jianjun, he didn't know what kind of temper Yang Yingying was losing today...but he knew...if it was normal, then he would definitely support Yang Yingying's opinion without reservation - he would definitely give face to those who came out to fool around.

But today, this candidate may not be good enough.

So Zhang Jianjun immediately winked at Tan Guangyao. The latter understood and immediately shouted: "Mr. Yang, the candidate has been decided..."

"Just change it."

"No...Mr. Yang." Tan Guangyao couldn't laugh or cry: "Why can't you tell me why? Nancy needs to have acting skills, good looks, and good reputation. The box office of the last film..."

"According to feedback from fans on the Internet, her so-called acting skills are only reflected in her fake smile, and the audience has been critical of her."

"Ahem...criticism is also a kind of topicality." Tan Guangyao coughed and laughed: "Nancy's performance as the second female lead can not only reflect the oriental aesthetics, but also bring topicality. At the same time, her acting skills are also It’s making progress…”

As usual, when someone directly refutes something like this, Yang Yingying rarely sticks to her own opinions. But today she still shook her head firmly: "We have already sent too many vases to Hollywood, there is no need to send them in different ways."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Zhang Jianjun: "Mr. Zhang, casting should still be based on the actor's own skills."

When Zhang Jianjun saw Yang Yingying calling his name, he really couldn't sit still on the Diaoyutai anymore. He chuckled and said, "How about this first? Let's put it on hold for now? Mr. Yang, come down and let me introduce you to the details of this drama."

However, just as Zhang Jianjun finished speaking, Su Yuanshan's voice sounded as the door opened.

"Can you introduce it to me now?"

…

After a brief moment of astonishment, Zhang Jianjun stood up with a smile on his face, strode out of his position, and faced Su Yuanshan.

Outside the door, stood a group of secretaries and managers from Dingxin Media, all of whom looked a little embarrassed - obviously, even if they were the ultimate members of Dingxin Media, they would not dare to disobey Su Yuanshan's will.

"Haha, everyone, sit down, I just came over to take a look." Su Yuanshan pressed his hands to everyone who stood up, and dragged the chair next to Yang Yiwen over, intending to sit directly next to Yang Yingying. beside.

Zhang Jianjun and others, when he saw Su Yuanshan suddenly barging in, and when he thought about Yang Yingying's performance today, he knew that Su Yuanshan would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing today...

Although this was Dingxin's senior executive meeting, in Su Yuanshan's eyes, he would just get in if he broke into it.

So Zhang Jianjun quickly pulled Su Yuanshan to his seat. As he walked, he smiled and said: "Welcome to Mr. Shan for guiding the work, everyone applauds."

So, in the midst of astonishment, applause rang out, and at the same time, the door of the conference room was closed again.

When Su Yuanshan approached his seat, he pushed Zhang Jianjun onto the chair and sat down - this guy weighed more than 160, and Su Yuanshan almost couldn't hold him down.

"Everyone, sit down. I just came over to take a look and make an announcement." After saying that, Su Yuanshan took two steps back and sat in Yang Yingying's original position, while Yang Yingying sat on the chair he had just pulled over - this It was embarrassing, and the artist vice president Cheng Yaogang, who had been robbed of his position by Su Yuanshan, had to stand in embarrassment.

"That's it. The board of directors of Dingxin Media has decided to hold an impromptu board meeting this afternoon." Su Yuanshan paused and looked at Zhang Jianjun: "Let's discuss Dingxin Media's route, policies, development, and...bottom line issues."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, and then looked at Zhang Jianjun almost at the same time.

——Zhang Jianjun, chairman and CEO of Dingxin Media, is the well-deserved actual controller of Dingxin Media.

But... Zhang Jianjun's expression was the same as everyone else's.

Why didn't he, the chairman, know about the meeting of the board of directors?

But the confusion only lasted for a moment. The next second, Zhang Jianjun couldn't hold back his sweat.

Listen to what Su Yuanshan said.

Bottom line question!

What is the bottom line issue?

Then at the same time, he thought of another scene.

——Five years ago, Yuanxin won ATV and sent Yuanxin veteran and senior vice president Wan Yongliang to ATV. At that time, when ATV was holding an executive meeting, Wan Yongliang walked directly into the venue and forcibly took control of ATV with lightning speed.

At the meeting, Wan Yongliang fired three people directly and completed the purge of ATV within three days!

What Wan Yongliang looked at was Cheng Yaogang, the vice president of artist management who looked confused and couldn't find his position. He was responsible for the selection and arrangement of all artists.

In an entertainment company, artists are the most important resource and only the most important capital. Therefore, Cheng Yao was able to sit next to Yang Yingying just now. He was the nominal No. 4 figure in Dingxin Media. In fact, he was the No. 3 figure, second only to Tan Guangyao and Zhang Jianjun.

Could it be that... Mr. Shan is going to do this in Dingxin Media?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Jianjun's back instantly became wet, and his head became a little blank.

Facing Su Yuanshan, he couldn't bear the slightest rejection or force.
