Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 622 Digging people with a hoe

Luo Jialiang brewed a pot of the best tea for Li Weidong with a treasured purple clay pot, and put it on the old walnut wood desk in front of Li Weidong. From the smell of the tea, he knew that it was expensive.

His office itself is a courtyard, and the furniture inside is all old wood furniture. Although it is not the legendary rosewood, Hainan Huanghuali and other rare and precious woods, it is better than the old name and the placement.

It smells great in the office.

In addition, there are various types of vases from various dynasties that are not authentic or fake placed on wooden shelves. If you don’t know the details, and come in and see this layout, you will definitely think that this is a collector who likes old objects and studies antiques.

Even Li Weidong was curious as to why Hong Kong Islanders liked this tune. All the early goodies were bought by these Hong Kong Islanders.

Seeing that Li Weidong was interested in this magazine, Luo Jialiang explained: "This is a magazine run by a few detectives who are entertainment journalists. It mainly introduces some of the latest industry information!"

"Most of this information is relatively secretive. To put it bluntly, it is an intelligence company or intelligence collection station. It sells intelligence through this thing. It is generally not sold to outsiders, only to some large media companies!"

Li Weidong flipped through two pages and didn't think there was anything strange about it. When Luo Jialiang said it was an internal magazine and called it an intelligence collection station, he curled his lips.

"It's been widely advertised. What kind of information is it? Who would publish useful information in a magazine? It's funny!" Li Weidong flipped the magazine backwards and said disdainfully.

Luo Jialiang did not dare to refute Li Weidong's opinion, and had to echo, "What the chairman said is that although it is the latest news, everyone in the circle knows it!"

After a slight pause, Luo Jialiang explained a little more to the magazine and said: "But they have summarized the news, which saves us a lot of time, and if you want to get the latest news, you can buy it separately!"

Originally, Luo Jialiang wanted to say that the price of this magazine was too expensive, but after hearing what Li Weidong said, it was not easy to say this, otherwise it would appear that he was being taken advantage of.

In fact, the emergence of this magazine has a certain connection with him and Li Weidong. Luo Jialiang has a good relationship with several people in charge of the magazine.

At that time, Li Weidong asked Luo Jialiang to collect newly debuted stars, and then he marked some potential stocks in these lists, and asked Luo Jialiang to take the money and wave the hoe to dig people, and he became the first batch of artists of Light and Shadow Entertainment, and it is still the company today.

Responsible for making money.

At that time, Luo Jialiang had just entered the industry and naturally did not have the ability to do it, so he found a few entertainment reporters and gave them a sum of money to collect this information.

After those entertainment reporters sold the information they collected to Luo Jialiang, they thought that Luo Jialiang needed it. Do other entertainment companies also have this need?

So I tried to sell this information to other entertainment companies. The information they collected was very complete and true. The price was not expensive, and many companies were willing to buy it.

This allowed those entertainment reporters to discover business opportunities, and finally established a so-called detective company to specialize in this kind of business. After several years of development, the company's scale and capabilities have been greatly improved, and sometimes it can even provide

Relatively confidential information.

For example, which entertainment company spent how much to buy a new script, or which TV series or movies are about to start the project, how much is the investment, or who has signed the yin and yang contract, mainly such core secrets involving money.

.

Although these news are meaningless to the public, entertainment companies in the industry are more interested in these news, especially companies with competitive relationships, and can prepare in advance.

Of course, if you want to get some unpublished information, you can also get it by adding money.

To put it bluntly, this magazine is just a portal of this entertainment information trading center. The cost of ordering the magazine is only the most basic membership fee. If you want to get VIP customized services, you can also purchase it separately.

These people are high-end paparazzi, but they don't bite people and only seek money.

Li Weidong ignored Luo Jialiang's last words, or he didn't care at all. At this time, he was fascinated by a piece of news in a magazine.

"Do you know this person?" Li Weidong picked up a pencil on the table, drew a circle on the magazine, and asked Luo Jialiang.

Luo Jialiang hunched over and stretched his head, looking at the place where Li Weidong drew the circle. The circle drawn by Li Weidong was a bit big, but he still saw a name inside it at a glance.

"Jay Chou?" Luo Jialiang looked at Li Weidong and asked doubtfully, then looked down at the contents of the magazine.

The content of this message is very short, only a few lines. This is also one of the characteristics of this magazine. Things that can be explained in one word will never be expressed in two words. They want every word to be valuable.

.

Alpha Music Company has completed recording an album for new singer Jay Chou and will release it in mid-to-late November.

At the back are the names of the songs in the album, as well as the names of the songwriters.

How could Luo Jialiang know such a newcomer? How could he, the chairman of the company, have the time to pay attention to such small things?

More importantly, he is still a singer. How can he make money by releasing albums and making movies these days?

Li Weidong threw the pencil on the table and nodded to confirm. In fact, he didn't rate Jay Chou's songs as highly as he thought on the Internet, he only liked a few of them.

As for most of them, Li Weidong couldn't understand them at all. Even if he looked at the lyrics, he might not be able to follow them.

But I can’t stand other people’s liking, especially those born in the 80s and 90s. This is their youth.

During the last days of Li Weidong's life, many singers had accidents. According to regulations, their music works had to be removed from major music platforms.

Those born in the 80s and 90s post jokes online, hoping that Jay Chou can hold on and nothing happens, otherwise their playlists may not be able to be saved, which shows how high his status is.

"I'll ask someone to find out about it right now!" Seeing Li Weidong nod, Luo Jialiang knew that he couldn't answer in the negative.

When your boss asks you if you know something, he doesn't want you to answer yes or no, but he wants you to solve the matter and handle it well.

"Let's see if we can dig it out!" Li Weidong waved his hand and directly stated his decision.

Li Weidong doesn't care how much money he makes, he's not short of money, he just has nothing to do and it would be nice to do something.

"You said that as long as the hoe is used diligently, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. I will arrange it right away!" Luo Jialiang said with a smile, which was the exact words of Li Weidong.

Luo Jialiang did not shy away from Li Weidong, but he did not dare to disturb Li Weidong. He walked towards the door, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Hey, Lao Luo, let me tell you something. Please go find a new person!" Luo Jialiang called the general manager of the company. Although his surname was Luo, he was not from the same family.

Mr. Luo and Luo Yanqing are brothers and sisters. They were also the general managers of an entertainment company that Luo Jialiang acquired when he started his business. They are also veterans in the entertainment industry. They have greatly helped the development of Light and Shadow Entertainment and finally became the head of Light and Shadow Entertainment some time ago.

General manager.

"Poaching, or a new person?" Luo Mingtu, who was on the other side of the phone, asked with slight surprise.

How could their company have fallen to this level?

Only small companies poach people. For a company like theirs, there is no need to poach people. If they want celebrities, they can just spend money on them.

Moreover, except for poaching people from everywhere in the early years of its establishment, the company has never poached people in the past few years. This person's reputation is quite big.

Not to mention anything else, this alone will have a huge advertising effect without any need for publicity, and it will make this person famous.

"Yes, a new singer!" Luo Jialiang glanced at Li Weidong, who was still looking down at the magazine, and whispered.

Luo Mingtu, who was on the other side of the phone, was even more surprised. Is it worth it for a new singer?

"Director Luo, do you mean that the company should pay more attention to the music industry?" Luo Mingtu seemed to understand the purpose of recruiting people this time. If this is the case, it would be understandable.

"Lao Luo, we are an entertainment company, and music is also a part of entertainment. We want to develop into a leading company in the industry. We must not lag behind in any of the three paths of film, television, and music!"

"Besides, the company has been in the music industry since its establishment. There are many singers and the development is good. It's just that compared with other industries, it is a little behind. No one has said that we don't pay attention to it!"

"Besides, you have been engaged in music before, and you are relatively familiar with this aspect. You will have to work harder in the future, and you can't just think about maintaining the status quo!"

"Okay, I still have important things here. I will send you the singer's information later. Remember to get this person over!" Luo Jialiang finally emphasized.

At this time, Luo Mingtu, who was far away in Hong Kong Island, hung up the phone. Sitting opposite him was a curly-haired woman with a gorgeous appearance and a good figure. Every move and gesture of this woman could raise people's blood pressure. This woman

It is his sister Luo Yanqing.

"What does Luo Jialiang mean? You want to recruit new singers?" Luo Yanqing said. This is a man with both body and mind. He is an artist and the music director of the company.

"Yes, you have to take care of this matter." Luo Mingtu's cell phone rang with a text message, "His name is Jay Chou, have you heard of this guy?"

"I seem to have some impression, but he should be a lyricist, right? Why did he change his career to become a singer? How did Luo Jialiang know him?" Luo Yanqing also had questions on her head.

"It's hard to tell. From the tone, it's not him who wants to poach this person. I'm afraid it's someone else!" Luo Mingtu guessed, otherwise why would Luo Jialiang say that he must get it?

"Is there someone else?" Luo Yanqing thought for a moment and seemed to understand, "You mean, what did someone ask him to do?"

"You don't have to think about this, just get things done. Besides, this is also an opportunity. I know you have always wanted to make a career in the music industry. Maybe this is an opportunity!"

"Recently there are rumors that the company is going to become a group. Let me tell you this is not a rumor. The board of directors has already discussed it. As for which industries should be separated into companies, they are still under discussion!"

"If the music industry can achieve results, it is not impossible to set up an independent company!" Luo Mingtu said pointedly.

"I know what to do. I'm familiar with Mr. Wu from Alpha Company, and I think he will give him face!" Luo Yanqing knew what his brother meant. Of course, even if he didn't give face, he could only use money to throw people away.

Luo Yanqing knew that this matter was probably the intention of the big boss. If it could be successful, it would be a credit. When his brother said a few words for her in front of Li Weidong, there might be unexpected benefits.

Whether you are an actor or a singer, they all have a life cycle, and they eat the food of youth. Especially for someone like him who has a relatively narrow acting career. When he gets older, he will become an expert in acting like this, and he will no longer have the ability to sing. It's time

Consider switching careers to management!

"By the way, I haven't seen this boy Chongren for a long time. Where has he been during this time?" When Luo Yanqing stood up to leave, she suddenly thought of this and asked in confusion.

"Hey, I asked him to travel to the mainland, climb mountains and see the sea, broaden his horizons, and let him know that besides love and love, there are many other meaningful things in life!" Luo Mingtu said with a sigh.

"I said, why don't you see anyone else? This is good. There are so many good women in the world, why hang yourself on a tree? When he comes back, I will introduce him to a few good ones!" Luo Yanqing agreed.

Luo Chongren is the only son of Luo Mingtu. A few years ago, he fell in love with a female star and lived together, and even talked about marriage. However, it was later reported that a certain Kung Fu star from Hong Kong got involved and the relationship broke down.

There were even rumors that Mr. Luo drank too much because of a lovelorn relationship, and drove drunk. The key was that he got into an accident. Fortunately, he was rescued, but he was lame in one leg.

The actress seemed to be moved by Mr. Luo's infatuation, and the two got back together. However, they broke up and broke up again soon, which made the lame Mr. Luo feel even more depressed. He drank and got drunk.

"Just calm down and take care of yourself first!" Luo Mingtu was worried about his only son. Now that the child has finally gotten better, he didn't dare to let his sister do anything wrong.

Moreover, my sister is in her thirties, and her boyfriend has a dustpan, but he is not married yet. He is worried about his dead parents.

Luo Yanqing rolled her eyes at her brother and walked out of the office, almost saying that her good intentions were being ignored.

Li Weidong drank a cup of tea in Luo Jialiang's office and looked through the magazine. He really found some familiar names, but people should not be too greedy.

And he couldn't guarantee whether these people would have the same fate as before if they changed their environment. It would be a sin to ruin them. After all, not everyone has Mr. Luo's good luck. He should have been drunk driving two years ago.

The dead are still alive and well.

At this time, Luo Jialiang told Li Weidong that the filming of the big scene just now had stopped, and the crew and company employees wanted to ask Li Weidong to give them a few words and guidance.

Li Weidong stood up and looked at the group of people gathered around the door of the office. The faces in front of him were all very familiar. They were either directors or actors. Some of them were later movie and TV stars who were both talented and talented. It seemed that Luo Jialiang wanted to do this for this TV series.

It was quite a struggle, hiring all the big names at the moment, and the cost is probably not low.

Although he has seen too many celebrities in his life, he decided that it was quite interesting that these old actors who often appeared in TV dramas were now standing respectfully at the door.

Of course, their acting will be more involved. After all, this is their job, and they can act with ease.

It seems that there are only two things in this world that can make people awe and surrender, the first is power, and the second is money!

If you don't say a few words at this time, it seems that you are a little sorry for the acting skills of these people, but Li Weidong always feels a little awkward looking at these actors who have not yet taken off their makeup!
