Shenhao who plays around the world

Chapter 219 Unparalleled Majestic

Many domestic netizens suddenly lost their composure.

In any case, Lin Shen is also an outstanding and promising entrepreneur in China.

Although it has always had a good reputation, this time it also attracted cynicism from many envious people.

"You see, these are ordinary people's entrepreneurs. Our domestic movie ticket prices remain high, but we go abroad to bring warmth to the United States."

"Director Lin is really a loser. He should consider his own compatriots first if there are any benefits!"

"(Dog Head Body Protector) Brothers, isn't Director Lin going to run away too?"

"Don't make trouble, Dong Lin's family has a big business, how can you run away?"

"Tsk, it's our boss Xu who has to be the boss. Lao Ma, Dongzi, and Lao Wang all have to accept the defeat. Now Mr. Xu sighs after catching a fish, and the president has to be worried and jumps from the 22nd floor. The cushion is so soft.

Go to the 23rd floor."

"Haha, it's upstairs. It's not fun to talk about. It's good for harmony."

Naturally, some people reported small disturbances on the Internet to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen didn't really care.

This model is indeed not easy to promote in China.

Take fares as an example. In 2016, an authoritative department conducted an investigation.

The average monthly income of old Americans is 4,700 US dollars, and movie ticket prices are about 8 US dollars.

But the per capita monthly income in China is US$690, but the ticket price has risen to US$5.74.

The difference in monthly income is nearly 7 times, but the ticket prices are almost the same.

Internationally, there are unwritten rules regarding fares.

The price of a movie ticket cannot be higher than 1% of the monthly income of ordinary workers in the country.

However, there are domestic regulations that the fare cannot be lower than 19.99 yuan, directly cutting off the path of low fares and high passenger flow from the source.

In order to make money, when movies are released now, the lowest price is above 30 yuan, and the general pricing range is around 35 yuan.

Lin Shen is also thinking about how to find a balance between no loss and low ticket prices.

After thinking about it, I have to produce enough movies myself to forcefully demand other movie investors to cooperate and make concessions.

Anyway, their family has a big business and the group has many profitable businesses.

Even if the theater business does not make money, as long as it can improve their voice in the film and television industry, it is not a loss.

Other theater chains cannot be as willful as Guanhai Group.

As for whether other theater chains will be unable to survive, it has nothing to do with Lin Shen.

For audiences, as long as the price is low enough, films of slightly lower quality are not unacceptable.

Many people go to theaters not only to watch movies, but also to prepare for the final step of booking a room.

The monthly card charges 79.99 yuan and allows you to watch 30 movies per month.

The annual membership price is 799.99 yuan, and you can watch up to 365 movies in one year.

This price is definitely quite attractive.

On average, the cost of watching a movie every day is only 2.7 yuan.

You only need to spend the price of a bottle of Coke to watch a movie.

Moreover, China is not like the old America.

These 30 movie viewing privileges can be used once a day, or you can watch multiple movies at the same time in a day.

When Xingyi Cinema was officially announced, it quickly became the top trending search among netizens.

"Awesome, Director Lin, we wrongly blamed you. This is much cheaper than the American one."

"Haha, I have a friend who lives in the United States and just got a monthly pass for AMC theaters. I am so jealous of our place. The monthly pass is 60 yuan cheaper than over there, and the annual pass is 600 yuan cheaper. It's enough.

Just had some fast food."

"What family is upstairs? I usually live in the 400 price range. Are the prices over there so high?"

"Wocao, what are they talking about on the second and third floors? I can't even understand it."

Public opinion quickly reversed.

As long as you benefit everyone, you are a good entrepreneur.

But all of my colleagues in other theater chains were very unhappy.

How can they make money with Lin Shen playing like this?

During the Spring Festival, other theater chains were scolded by Xingyi Cinema for lowering movie prices.

In the end, they had to hold their noses and follow the price cuts.

Due to its slow response and reluctance, most of the Spring Festival box office revenue was absorbed by The Wandering Earth.

I thought that the Spring Festival stall was an accidental operation.

This time it was good, Lin Shen directly started to play the monthly unlimited movie viewing mode.

This is really unbearable for my uncle, and my aunt can’t bear it anymore.

…

Huaying Group, Chairman’s Office.

A group of big bosses who stomped their feet in the Chinese entertainment industry and made countless celebrities bow to their knees were complaining to Fu Zhengqing.

"Everyone, I know your purpose of coming."

Fu Zhengqing had no choice but to show his hands, "The contribution of Guangchang Hai Group to the film and television industry is obvious to all. The number of group performances at the Tangcheng Film and Television Base alone has exceeded 100,000. In addition, it has boosted employment, tourism and GDP in Xiangyang.

It doesn’t work, I really can’t take action.”

"Director Fu, we also know that you are in a difficult situation. What Kuanhai Group has done has really made it impossible for everyone to do business. We are all conscientious businessmen operating legally. Why don't you come forward to make an appointment with Director Lin?"

Xu Tianfu, chairman of Hengdian Film and Television, as a representative of several theater chains, made their demands without leaving any trace.

We are all old foxes, so we naturally know that Fu Zhengqing cannot offend the Guanhai Group with a mysterious background for them.

Those top families don't dare to take action against Guanhai Group.

Fu Zhengqing didn't even have the courage.

How could anyone who could climb to his position be a fool?

However, it is not impossible to arrange a meeting for these families.

Fu Zhengqing sighed, "Okay, it's not easy for everyone. The film industry still needs your help. I will contact Director Lin. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed!"

"Director Fu, with your status, Director Lin will probably give you face."

Xu Tianfu quickly complimented.

"That's right, Dong Fu is the head of Huaying, so he will definitely give him this face."

Several other theater chain owners also agreed.

Fu Zhengqing felt very comfortable being praised by these people, but he was still a little worried in his heart.

It is true that he has a high status in front of these guys.

But he couldn't tell how thin he would be in front of the Guanhai Group.

"Okay, let's go back and wait for news."

Fu Zhengqing began to chase people away.

Even if you make a phone call, it must be when these guys are not around.

Otherwise, if he is rejected, where will his face be?

"Okay, let's wait for Director Fu's call."

Xu Tianfu accepted the offer and left with several other theater chain owners.

Wait until the gang leaves the office.

Fu Zhengqing took out an expensive business card from the drawer.

"Tsk... As expected of the chairman of a trillion-dollar group, the cost of this business card is tens of thousands of dollars, right?"

Fu Zhengqing sighed and dialed the numbers with a hint of trepidation.

"I am Lin Shen."

A mellow and masculine voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Director Lin, I am Fu Zhengqing from China Film Group. This is what happened..."

Fu Zhengqing quickly identified himself, and after removing himself, told in detail how several theaters in Hengdian found him.

"I understand, what do Director Fu think?"

Lin Shen asked back with interest.

"Well... I support this kind of healthy competition in principle. After all, only when the ticket price is lowered will the audience be more willing to enter the theater. This will have a positive effect on the film market in the long run..."

Fu Zhengqing said a lot of clichés, and then he tried to say: "But I don't know if Director Lin can be a little more generous. After all, the theater market is indeed difficult, and other companies are also experiencing more or less financial difficulties."

Lin Shen finally realized that Fu Zhengqing was an old man.

Not only was he afraid of offending himself, but he also wanted to gain a good reputation in front of other theater chains.

"Director Fu, the decision I have made cannot be easily changed. However, I am very interested in the theater chains under China Film Group. I wonder if Director Fu is interested in letting the three theater chains controlled by your group to cooperate with those under our group.

The merger of Xingyi Cinemas?"

Lin Shen extended an olive branch, instantly making Fu Zhengqing's heart beat faster.

Xingyi Cinemas is the leading cinema chain with the largest market share in China.

Huaying, its three theater subsidiaries, also have a combined market share of 15%.

If the two merge, their market share will naturally easily exceed half.

In terms of the box office output of a single cinema, the three theater chains under China Film Group are only half of that of Xingyi Cinema Line.

Many theaters under the Hua Cinema Line have been open for more than ten years.

Even if it is tinkered with, it will not be able to attract audiences as much as the gorgeously decorated theaters under the Xingyi Cinema Line.

As for large-scale renovations, Huaying is reluctant to lose profits during this period.

Fu Zhengqing took several deep breaths to suppress the excitement in his heart, "Director Lin, I need to hold a meeting to study this, and I will give you an accurate answer later."

"good."

By the time the two of them hung up the phone, Fu Zhengqing had completely forgotten Xu Tianfu's instructions.

Compared with cooperating with a super giant that spans multiple industries like Guanhai Group, Hengdian and the others are nothing.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Fu Zhengqing is not a good man or woman.

What's more, this is a rare and rare opportunity for Huaying.

Thinking of this, Fu Zhengqing couldn't wait to ask his secretary to convene a board meeting.

Just as Fu Zhengqing thought, when everyone else at the meeting learned that they had the opportunity to cooperate with Guanhai Group, they were all bright-eyed.

Some careerists who had been worried about Zhengqing's position for a long time couldn't help but curse secretly.

No wonder the old fox was so active. It turned out that he wanted to hug Director Lin's thigh.

Among them, Zhao Yu's position against Zheng Qing was the most coveted.

"Lao Fu, merging is possible, but we need to figure out which company to merge with, whether it is Guanhai Group, Tangcheng Group, or a separate subsidiary of Xingyi Cinema Line."

Fu Zhengqing frowned and said with a calm smile: "This is no accident. It must be a merger with Xingyi Cinemas. In the future, we may have the opportunity to obtain part of the shares of AMC Group."

"Lao Fu, don't blame me for finding fault with you. It's okay if Guanhai Group can't reach an agreement, but by merging with Tangcheng Group, we should be qualified, right?"

Zhao Yu sneered and said: "I don't agree with merging with a subsidiary that only has theater business. At least the other party must come up with Tangcheng Group to merge with us. This can be called sincerity."

As a deputy director, he naturally has Ma Chai to charge for him.

One of the vice presidents coughed lightly and said, "What Vice President Zhao said is reasonable. Our China Film Group wants to persuade the three theater chains to merge and let the executives of these three theater chains give up their positions. We can't just say that we don't have it, can we?

With so many concessions here, it would only make sense for the other side to at least ask the Tangcheng Group to merge with us."

Others also agreed, trying to gain as much benefit as possible.

"Director Fu, why don't you look for Director Lin again?"

"We do suffer a bit from such a merger. After all, we are a company at the same level as Guanhai Group. It makes no sense to have three cinema chain subsidiaries, but we can only merge with one Xingyi Cinema Chain."

Zhao Yu stopped talking and drank tea calmly. Seeing his old rival Fu Zhengqing deflated, he felt very comfortable in his heart.

"Okay, let's get here first today, and I will report everyone's opinions to Guanhai Group."

Fu Zhengqing's face was livid, he immediately announced that the meeting was adjourned, got up and left angrily.

If this deal goes through, who will benefit the most?

Of course it's him!

Therefore, Zhao Yu definitely didn't want to see him get involved with Director Lin.

Fu Zhengqing had nowhere to vent his anger, and these guys were indeed capable of causing trouble.

Not to mention compared with Guanhai Group, even Tangcheng Group is not on the same scale as them.

The previous acquisition of Xingyi Cinemas and the expansion of the number of theaters to 1,500 resulted in a total investment of US$5 billion.

The current market value of China Film Group is only about US$3 billion.

When Mr. Lin merged Xingyi Cinemas with their own cinemas, it was already considered a high achievement for them.

These guys just don't like him.

Fu Zhengqing didn't have the nerve to call Lin Shen.

If he can't even handle this, what will Chairman Lin think of him?

Even if Zhao Yu and the others are not convinced, this matter must be successfully accomplished.

Fu Zhengqing was cruel and summoned the heads of the three theater chains in person, asking them to compile a document. After reviewing it in person, he strongly approved the merger transaction.

Xingyi Cinemas has a price tag of US$6 billion and a valuation of US$2 billion for the three cinemas under China Film Group to form a new cinema chain company.

Tangcheng Group holds 75% of the shares of Huaying Xingyi, and Huaying Group holds 25%.

Huaying was quite satisfied with the shareholding ratio and proposed to merge the post-merger companies with Huaying first in their name.

In this way, they also look good on their faces.

Tangcheng Group also readily agreed.

Although there are many Huaying theaters, most of them are open to franchises, unlike Xingyi Cinemas, which spends money and builds its own theaters like crazy.

With the merger of the two companies, the number of theaters suddenly increased from 1,500 to 4,000.

The proportion of theater box office has also surged from 37% to 52%, accounting for more than half of the market share of theater box office.

The film and television industry was suddenly in an uproar.

Will this give other theater chains a way to survive?

Xu Tianfu, in particular, was expecting Fu Zhengqing to help them arrange a meeting with Director Lin.

When he saw the news of the merger of the two becoming a hot search topic, he thought he was dazzled.

All of a sudden, a chill rushed from the tailbone to the sky!

Seeing Fu Zhengqing and Lin Shentan talking to reporters about the bright prospects after the merger of the two companies gave him a chilling feeling.

The Xingyi Cinema chain itself is strong enough, but now it has swallowed up Huaying.

Next, Huayingxingyi will definitely launch a monthly card model.

Anyone who has a need to watch movies will definitely be attracted to it.

What will be left to them then will only be random people who occasionally come to watch movies.

If this continues, even the rent of the theater will not be enough to pay.

…

Wanda is also the one who feels the same way as Xu Tianfu.

Wanda itself has attached great importance to theater chains in recent years and regards them as the core business of the cultural industry.

Previously, Xingyi Cinemas had a high market share, so the pressure on them was not so exaggerated.

But it’s different now!

Xingyi annexed the theater chain owned by China Film Group, accounting for more than half of the market share.

There are only two roads before Lao Wang.

Either fight to the death or give up the theater business.

But how can you let go of so many years of hard work so easily?

Zhang Lin can be regarded as an old man who has followed Wanda. Now that he has been promoted to the position of chairman and president of Wanda Film, he is also full of pressure.

Thinking of Guanhai Group, Zhang Lin felt that the air around him was a little thin.

A suffocating pressure almost enveloped him.

Since he took office, he has been unable to find any good way to increase Wanda's market share in the film and television industry.

In terms of the strength of the parent company, Wanda is far inferior to Guanhai Group.

Everyone knows that leading Internet companies make more money than industrial companies.

Not to mention, Guanhai Group is a giant enterprise spanning multiple industries.

Just the US$4 billion previously allocated to Tangcheng Group made his eyes red with envy.

If Wanda Film could get an investment of US$4 billion, its market share would have doubled.

"Mr. Zhang, I want to hear your opinion. Should we launch similar competitive services to compete with them for movie-watching audiences?"

Lao Wang polished his reading glasses and looked much older.

Zhang Lin didn't dare to be careless. Even though Lao Wang had a good reputation outside, he was a ruthless person within Wanda.

For professional managers like them, Lao Wang never skimps on high salaries.

However, the KPI assessment is extremely strict, and many people leave in a hurry after working for two years and failing to complete it.

Especially for Wanda Film, the positions of chairman and president have been replaced by countless people over the years, but they just can't satisfy Lao Wang.

"Chairman, I think we don't need to be too panicked."

Zhang Lin had already made preparations before he came.

"oh?"

Lao Wang's eyes lit up and he motioned to his secretary to pour a glass of water for Zhang Lin. He smiled kindly and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."

"This is what I think. Although the merger of Xingyi Cinema Line and Huaying Cinema Line is far ahead of us in terms of market share, many of Huaying's theaters should have been renovated long ago. This will be a huge expense and serious delay. They are expanding their progress.”

"Secondly, although the monthly card service they launched can attract a lot of viewers, people still have high requirements for movie quality."

"As long as we unite with several other theater chains to form an offensive and defensive alliance, and release more high-quality movies at relatively higher prices, we won't have to worry about not having movie fans to support us."

"Of course, the most important thing is to increase our own market share, so that we can survive this fierce battle until the end."

Zhang Lin finished speaking eloquently and waited anxiously for Lao Wang's instructions.

"Yes, you still have your own opinions."

Lao Wang changed his voice, "However, you also know the current situation of the group. You can only rely on your own efforts. In order to manage the business, I had to piece together things here to pay back the investors' money. , The top priority right now is to let the commercial management business be listed on the Hong Kong stock market first. As long as the commercial management business can raise funds, we will have the money to compete with Guanhai Group."

"I understand. Chairman, please rest assured that I will definitely lead Wanda Film's senior management team to overcome difficulties and not put additional pressure on the parent company."

"Well, very good, let's do this first."

Lao Wang smiled with satisfaction, and then motioned to his secretary to see off the guest.

When he got back to the car, Zhang Lin couldn't help but curse.

We don’t want to pay, and we don’t want to reduce our market share.

It seems like he won't be able to sit in this position for long.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lin smiled bitterly.

However, several previous CEOs of Wanda Film changed jobs, and in the end, this person was gradually found out.

The film and television industry is unlike other industries.

There are only a few leading companies, and there is not much room for job-hopping.

He actually wants to switch jobs to the Tangcheng Group, but that will only happen if someone is willing to hire him.

As for what Lao Wang said, waiting for Wanda Commercial Management to go public is even more of an unrealistic dream.

Wanda's luck in surviving the wave of real estate massacres is also related to their continuous weight loss.

But after downsizing, the debt has been reduced, but the scale has also been reduced.

On the surface, gross profit margin is improving.

But the net profit remained unchanged.

In this way, more profitability is sacrificed.

Regardless of the fact that Wanda’s debt structure has dropped significantly and its asset-light transformation has begun to bear fruit, the Internet has begun to advocate that Pharaoh’s net worth has increased and that the king has returned.

However, everyone within Wanda knows that the group's cash flow is quite tight, and its cash flow will be around 10 billion.

What's the reason?

There is no business that can bring stable "core cash flow".

The so-called "core cash flow" does not refer to how fast the cash flow of a certain business grows.

It means that this business can always make money no matter what the industry cycle is like.

For example, Guanhai Group's Yazi, cloud computing, short video, and Weibo are all businesses that can bring long-term stable cash flow growth.

No company can have too much of this kind of business.

Real estate is already a red ocean, and the cultural industry cannot bear the high expectations placed on it by Lao Wang.

Currently, Wanda’s core business has become Wanda Commercial Management.

Wanda Commercial Management, just like the properties of a large shopping mall, provides Wanda Plaza (or other commercial plazas) with investment promotion, management operations, security and other services. It is a business that can sustainably create cash flow.

However, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange generally has a negative view of these mainland commercial management companies, fearing that they may have internal collusion in conveying interests, and has rejected Wanda Commercial Management’s listing applications several times.

Wanda is also racking its brains, but it just can't figure out the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

As long as it can go public, it will naturally be able to attract huge amounts of financing.

According to Wanda's approach, it will definitely borrow money from Wanda Commercial Management, which will save at least 3% compared to the interest rate of Wanda's bonds.

Zhang Lin returned with the answer that he could only fend for himself. Wanda Film executives, who were full of expectations, also fell into a helpless predicament.

"Mr. Zhang, can you give Director Wang a little more time?"

Vice President Wang Huiwu, considered Zhang Lin's confidant, asked unwillingly.

If the parent company doesn't provide any funding, how can they be defeated by themselves?

Wanda Film itself is under considerable pressure. It had previously made provision for goodwill losses, resulting in huge losses and a very depressed stock price.

Now we are experiencing major changes in the cinema market. Without strong support, it will be difficult to maintain our existing market share.

When watching movies, many users are more willing to support Xingyi Cinemas.

Judging from the pricing of many movies after this year, all the projects that Forest Film owners invest in and control are priced at a relatively reasonable space, which can cause other theaters to worry.

"Everyone, the situation at Director Wang's side is not optimistic. The commercial management business has not been listed for a long time, and the group's funds will not be sufficient. We can only save ourselves."

"In the next few months, I will start to make a detailed breakdown of the movie schedules in theaters in each region. I will make sure that the reputation of the movies released here is stronger than that of the other movies."

Zhang Lin's face was serious, with a hint of murderous intent: "This is a battle of life and death. If anyone lets me off the hook, don't blame me for being rude."

After the meeting ended, Wang Huiwu came to Zhang Lin's office.

Seeing the worried look on Zhang Lin's face, one knew how difficult this Wanda Group veteran was.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, which is what Zhang Lin is talking about now.

"Okay, don't worry about me. Your most important task now is to study the films that will be released in the near future. We must ensure that the films that we are the main investors or participating in can grab more box office."

Zhang Lin sighed, pretending to be relaxed and said: "If someone can hire Leonardo DiCaprio to make a super blockbuster and enter the North American and European markets, it is not a company of the same magnitude as ours. Even the five giants in Hollywood have to give in. We are just one of them." Shit!"

Wang Huiwu joked, "Hey, if you ask me, let's merge with them. By then, the entire theater chain market will be dominated by one company, and we won't be able to make any money?"

"I do think so, but Wanda doesn't want to lose face?"

Zhang Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Get out of here quickly. If you fail the test this time, we will have no choice but to pack up and leave."

"It's an order."

Wang Huiwu did not dare to be careless. He had only received his one million annual salary not long ago, but it was not much more than those of his predecessors. He had no confidence to leave his job.

…

Acquire Wanda Film?

That's not necessary.

The offer was too low, but Lao Wang disagreed.

The asking price was too high, so Lin Shen might as well invest on his own.

Although they have annexed China Film Group's theater chains and sold some of their equity, the controlling rights are firmly in their hands, and China Film Group is at most qualified to join the board of directors.

There are 4,000 theaters in China with more than 32,000 screens.

The five major Hollywood movie companies, which had been a little unhappy before, suddenly no longer had any complaints and willingly accepted the box office sharing agreement they signed with AMC Group.

As we all know, if a Hollywood blockbuster wants to enter the country, it needs the approval of Huaying.

Today, China Film has reached an in-depth cooperation with the parent company behind AMC Group.

The heads of the five major Hollywood film companies have fully realized what it means to have the right to speak and change sides.

In the past, they could cut meat from these theater chains in North America, and they didn't dare to resist.

But now, they are the ones cutting the flesh.

Unless they can completely cut off the huge income brought by the film business.

Otherwise, you can only submit obediently.

AMC Group has 20,000 screens, and domestically there are 32,000 screens, adding up to 52,000 screens.

You know, the total number of screens in North America is only about 46,000.

The total number of screens in the world is only 260,000.

what does that mean?

The theater chains under this group span Asia, Europe and North America, accounting for 25% of the world's total screens!

Its global box office share is close to 30%.

Even Hollywood would tremble.

Anyone who offends this consortium will lose 30% of the global box office. What a terrifying scene is that?

Even Disney, which owns Marvel, cannot handle it.

In the face of huge profits, so-called alliances can be broken at the first glance.

Thinking of Sony's recent flattery to AMC Group, several other movie companies seem to be inseparable.

Chapek, who originally wanted to instigate everyone to negotiate with the AMC Group again, had no choice but to give up that idea.

Can't afford to offend!

Disney's stock price has been growing and declining, but if it really confronts this consortium.

If nothing else, Disney will die miserably.

It is not impossible for the stock price to plummet.

…

As a film and television practitioner, I am naturally more informed.

After the merger of Xingyi Cinemas and China Film Cinemas, many actors are eager to join Tangcheng Group, the super aircraft carrier of the film and television industry.

Not long ago, Reba Sitti's business resources as the spokesperson for Van Cleef & Arpels Asia Pacific made countless female celebrities red-eyed and crazy with jealousy.

In recent years in China, it has become popular among fans to compare which celebrity’s endorsement is more advanced.

Luxury brands are also very cooperative, from brand experience officers, to brand friends, to brand ambassadors, and finally spokespersons.

Even spokespersons are divided into different levels.

From China, to Greater China, Asia Pacific, and finally global spokesperson.

As long as the box office of "Inception" exceeds 1 billion US dollars, the global spokesperson will definitely be Reba.

Who wouldn’t be jealous of the most luxurious global spokesperson?

That is the most prestigious endorsement!

The changes in Richemont Group's equity and the consortium behind the investment are naturally unknown to the outside world.

Just with the new owner from Richemont Group, the business resources of the domestic stars who signed contracts with Forestry Pictures have obviously improved visibly.

Richemont Group's brands have also significantly accelerated their store openings in China.

In particular, Chloé is expanding the fastest. With sufficient capital investment, more than 50 Chloë stores are being renovated in China.

The recent Chloë spring/summer series show has a huge impact.

Many European and American celebrities are amazed by Guo Bei's works.

Especially bags and clothes, many European and American celebrities spontaneously carry goods.

When attending events and movie conferences, you can often see Chloé’s new models being worn by actresses.

According to statistics, Chloé’s turnover increased by more than 300% month-on-month.

Guo Bei, who hosted this show, became the most popular designer in the fashion circle.

Both LV and i are paying close attention to Guo Bei.

No luxury brand would not crave for talented designers.

Do you want to poach Guo Bei?

Totally impossible.

In terms of salary and benefits, Guo Bei is considered to be at the top level among European and American designers in the same position.

Others don't know Guo Bei's strength, how could Lin Shen not understand.

This is a super genius who can create a brand no less than Chanel!

…

Recently, life has been difficult for Wang Jinghua, mother and son.

It is true that Lin Shen has never targeted their mother and son.

But whoever let his status show up, he and Huaying were also in the honeymoon period.

Even if they want to please him, many film investors will reject Dong Zishan without hesitation.

For a time, Dong Zitian seemed to be a "box office poison" in everyone's eyes.

There are many people with better acting skills than Dong Zishan.

Why do you have to provoke Director Lin just because of him?

Businessmen only care about profits.

Just an agent, is it really the same as 20 years ago?

Sir, times have changed a long time ago!

For the sake of her son, Wang Jinghua has become much older recently and has a lot more gray hair.

No matter which old friend I called, the other party politely refused and told them to hire someone else.

For Wang Jinghua, the blow is naturally not small.

The connections accumulated over decades are so powerless and ridiculous in front of the guy from Guanhai Group.

In the film and television industry, Guanhai Group is the best!

Hollywood giants such as Disney will bow down.

She, a domestic entertainment number one agent who has long since declined, is like an egg or a stone, broken at the touch of a ball compared to the Guanhai Group.

Because I don’t have the resources for movies, I’m not willing to make online dramas.

Dong Zitian has recently started drinking heavily and often gets very drunk.

Wang Jinghua saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Jinghua came to the Tangcheng Film and Television Base alone.

Look at the film and television base where there are so many tourists and the crew is constantly busy.

Wang Jinghua couldn't help but sigh, this is simply a replica of Hengdian.

Today's Hengdian is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

Many film crews will choose Tangcheng instead of Hengdian when they start filming.

There was no way, all the extras were poached by Tangcheng.

Each contracted actor can receive a subsidy of 2,000 yuan as long as he appears in 15 plays a month, regardless of the size of the role.

Let me ask, which extra performer can withstand such temptation?

Although Hengdian is strong, it also has to compete with others in terms of points.

In front of the crew of ‘Know or Do You Know’.

Wang Jinghua's network is still there, and she easily contacted an assistant director of this drama.

"Sister Hua."

When Zhang Yu saw Wang Jinghua, his eyes were filled with pity. After all, he had been favored by Wang Jinghua before, so he still took the risk to help.

"Director Zhang, I really want to thank you this time."

Wang Jinghua has also experienced the warmth and warmth of human relationships, so naturally she will not be as arrogant as before.

"Sister Hua, you're welcome. You are a senior and you are kind to me. This is what you should do. Sun Yi is filming inside, so I will take you in first."

Zhang Yu said hello to the security guard at the door and walked into the set with Wang Jinghua.

As a professional in the industry, Wang Jinghua has a keen eye, so she can naturally see that the cost of building these studios is much higher than that in Hengdian.

Zhang Yu saw Wang Jinghua looking at the studio and introduced with a smile: "Sister Hua, these are movie-level studios, and Tangcheng has the largest prop material library in China. All kinds of props can be customized, which is very convenient.

Hengdian is really in trouble, so I don’t blame everyone for abandoning them.”

Wang Jinghua commented: "It's easy to copy these, but it requires a lot of money."

"Hey, so the financial backers behind the Tangcheng Group are powerful enough. There are companies in China that are capable of doing this, but they are stupid enough to compete with the Tangcheng Group."

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Hengdian's market value is barely 100 billion, while Guanhai Group's market value is more than one trillion. There is plenty of money, and banks are eager to lend them money."

Wang Jinghua nodded silently.

In the film and television industry, Guanhai Group is an insurmountable Everest.

Film and television production, shooting bases, online promotions, video playback, the entire industry chain is laid out, and there are no blind spots.

Otherwise, why would she come here to find Sun Yi?

The relationship between the two of them was so bad before, Sun Yi hated her to death.

When he arrived at the filming site, Zhang Yu stopped showing up.

To be able to do this is to take a big risk.

No one in the circle knows that Sun Yi is the canary raised by that person.

There are so many female celebrities who want to be that Lin Dong canary, and Sun Yi is lucky to have this opportunity.

"Kah, Sun Yi performed well just now. The shooting is over in the morning and everyone can take a lunch break."

Director Zhang Kaizhou was hired from Noon Sunshine to direct this drama, and was also the original director of this drama.

To be honest, Zhang Kaizhou was not very optimistic about Sun Yi at first.

But after filming, I unexpectedly discovered that Sun Yi's acting skills were pretty good.

At least among his peers, he is considered outstanding.

If you say that Sun Yi's background is not strong, only a ghost would believe it.

Forest Pictures' top star Lu Yao stars as the male lead, partnering with post-85s actor Zhu Yilong.

With an investment of 200 million, it is a proper large-scale production in the TV and TV series circles.

If it were said that this had nothing to do with Director Lin, everyone would just laugh.

"Thank you for your hard work. I bought milk tea for everyone. Remember to pick it up later."

Sun Yi is also a good person, but she is not qualified to be arrogant.

"Oh, thank you, Sister Sun."

Many staff members were also surprised that they could get a cup of milk tea for free, so they naturally wanted to say thank you.

"Sun Yi!"

Just when Sun Yi was happy that he had won people's hearts, a voice so familiar that it melted into his bones sounded from behind.

"Sister Hua?"

Many people's eyes turned to gossip.

"Sun Yi, I want to chat with you for a few words. Is it convenient for you?"

Wang Jinghua didn't care about her shame and looked straight at Sun Yi.

"All right."

Sun Yi also didn't want to get into too much of a quarrel with Wang Jinghua, which would bring bad reputation to her if word spread.

Just like that, I came outside the set.

In the nanny's car, Sun Yi was playing with her nails and said in an impatient tone: "Your son and I have divorced a long time ago, why are you coming here to see me?"

"Sun Yi, I know you don't want to see me, but Zi Zhuan is married to you after all. Now he drinks at home all the time, and no one wants to film with him. If this continues, I'm afraid that one day he will..."

Wang Jinghua has been an agent for so many years, and her acting skills are no worse than those of the actresses she has coached.

But who is Sun Yi?

From struggling in society to marrying into the Dong family, it is naturally not a good thing.

"Put away your hypocritical tears. Do you want to see him?"

Sun Yi was afraid that her ex-mother-in-law would record her, so she deliberately used obscure words.

"If it's convenient, I'd like to ask you to put in a good word for me. I'm willing to give you 50 million yuan in compensation as child support. Don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face. After all, Zi Zhuan is Dafu's father, and you don't want to

Seeing that the child is so young, he has lost his biological father, right?"

Wang Jing spends her time with love and lures her with profit.

"50000000?"

Sun Yi sneered: "You are really willing to give up for your son."

"I care more about Zi Zhuan's future than 50 million."

Wang Jinghua didn't care about Sun Yi's cynicism.

As long as her son's stardom can be restored, it will only be a matter of time before he earns 50 million.

"50 million is not enough, I want 100 million!"

Sun Yi said nonchalantly: "Besides, I can't guarantee that I will be able to get that person to let go."

Wang Jinghua did not expect that Sun Yi would be so cruel and directly asked her for 100 million.

After a long silence, Wang Jinghua nodded in agreement.

"One hundred million is one hundred million. That person doesn't have to come forward, as long as Mr. Zhong says something to the outside world."

"I'll try my best and give me a deposit of 50 million."

Sun Yi said in a casual tone: "Your family already owes me. This 50 million is reserved for Daphne. I will not touch it. The other 50 million is considered as the reward for this matter."

"good."

Wang Jinghua didn't say anything and got out of the car directly.

After walking for a while, I took out the recorder hidden in my bag and threw it into the trash can on the roadside.

After calling the bank, I transferred 50 million to Sun Yi's account.

Wang Jinghua also felt heartache in her heart.

She has made a lot of money over the years.

But how much can an agent make if he's on the front and back of the horse?

Compared with capital operations, the income share of celebrities is destined to be only a small part.

After receiving the 50 million transferred from Wang Jinghua, Sun Yi finished her lunch with a normal expression and returned to the set to shoot until the evening.

"Director, I would like to take two days off."

Sun Yi found Zhang Kaizhou and got straight to the point.

"Ask for leave?"

Zhang Kaizhou frowned, "Is there anything important?"

"The company has arranged for me to go to Shanghai to attend an event. Please understand."

"Oh...it's okay. The company has important arrangements. Is three days enough?"

Kai Zhou rolled his eyes and immediately understood Sun Yi's subtext.

"That's enough, thank you director."

Sun Yi chuckled and nodded.

"It's okay. As a member of the company, it is also my responsibility to share the company's worries."

Zhang Kaizhou smiled and said, "Um, say hello for me if you have a chance."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Sun Yi also understood what Kai Zhou meant, turned around and left with a smile.

Watching Sun Yi leave, Zhang Kaizhou shook his head and laughed.

This is the pure actress in front of everyone!

How ridiculous, yet so helpless.

As for Sun Yi, when she returned to the nanny car, she saw the panting assistant carrying a large bag of clothes.

I opened it and checked it again, and then praised the other party with a few words of satisfaction.

As for what’s inside?

Of course it's a combat uniform.

If you want to earn this 100 million, you will probably suffer a lot in these three days.

Even if Wang Jinghua didn't show up, she would still find a way to show off her face in front of Lin Shen.

Otherwise, what should Lin Shen do if she forgets about her?

Canary, it has to be liked by its owner.

I'm in Chongqing, and I'm quarantined for the first time... Everyone takes it seriously. I hope that the SJZ model will be promoted to the whole country as soon as possible. Haha, there are ten thousand updates today, it's not easy!
