Since 1983

The two walked around the film and television city and found a hotel room.

Not long after, Xu Fei came.

Old Zhuang, why are you free to treat me to dinner today?

He naturally recognized Zhuang Liqi, and saw that there was one more person in the room, oh, the communication bureau.

Mr. Xu, come and let me introduce to you...

Lao Zhuang pointed at that person, and said with a smile: Mr. Wu Kebo, Mr. Wu, has been in Japan for many years and has just returned to the motherland to make contributions. He is currently the chief consultant of NEC China.

I've been looking forward to it for a long time.

Xu Fei is polite, NEC mobile phones are also a hero in the era of non-smart phones, and then disappeared.

Wu Kebo was also talking socially, looking at each other all the time.

The first is youth. Youthfulness will make old-school entrepreneurs, compradors, and downtrodden very unhappy, just as they can't understand those Internet upstarts.

I graduated from a university in Japan in the early 1990s. I am engaged in high-tech and telecommunications business. In 1998, he set up a music company with Komuro Tetsuya, and he also has some connections in the Japanese entertainment industry.

This time I came back with the intention of entering the mainland entertainment market.

Zhuang Liqi reminded that one must worship the true Buddha first.

All he knew about Xu Fei was on paper, and when he came into contact with him at this moment, he felt a smile, and he didn't think much of himself—it was strange.

Because when strangers meet for the first time, they must observe openly and secretly, but the other party does not.

Soon the food and wine were on the table, eating and drinking, chatting about the topic of NEC mobile phones.

In the end, Zhuang Liqi started the thread: The domestic entertainment market is booming, and Mr. Wu also wants to test the waters. Today is nothing but to meet with you, and I will take care of you in the future.

It's easy to talk about.

Xu Fei touched a glass of wine and said with a smile: Mr. Wu was engaged in music in Japan, and he started with music when he came back?

Music, film and television have plans, Mr. Xu give pointers?

There is nothing to point out. The domestic market is huge, and no one can monopolize it. One more company and one more friend, just speak up if you have difficulties.

Oh, look at Mr. Xu's temperament...

Zhuang Liqi flattered at the right time, Wu Kebo's thoughts changed, and he cooperated: It's admirable!

Xu Fei took his leave after eating a meal without hesitation.

There were only two people left in the box, Zhuang Liqi said: Am I right? Although Mr. Xu has a domineering style in some things, he has always been willing to share with everyone, and he likes the thriving film and television industry.

Ah!

Wu Kebo was noncommittal, and said: He is the one who divides the meat, of course he has to take care of everyone. If I come to divide the meat, I will be like him.

Lao Zhuang, the company we run is not a small business. I have connections and funds, and you have the ability to produce, so you can grow in a short period of time and become one of the best forces.

Seeing that the other party expressed doubts, he did not explain.

In his view, the domestic entertainment industry is too childish, and has not even touched the level of capital.

However, there is a problem in front of me. I want to build a comprehensive entertainment kingdom, and artist agents are indispensable. You said that most of the domestic stars are in the world of film and television?

That's right.

That's why conflicts arise. We also need good actors and big stars to support us.

You mean gouging?

Zhuang Liqi was startled.

Don't sound so nasty, this is called free competition. I offer good conditions, and if other celebrities are willing to come, can he still hold on?

Of course, we need to act fast, that Mr. Xu doesn't know us well, he doesn't know how strong we are, it's best to get everything done before he reacts!

…………

He... tui!

Xu Fei spat as soon as he left the hotel.

What the hell, an entertainment comprador!

Wu Kebo, who returned to China in 2004 to create Orange Sky Entertainment, was the first to sign a contract with Chen Hao, and then vigorously poached roles. It coincided with the expiration of the contract between Wang Jinghua and Huayi, leading Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Xia Yu and other stars to join.

But soon, Zhuang Liqi left, Wang Jinghua also filed a lawsuit and started her own company. Cheng Tian dug a loneliness, after that he didn't pay much attention to production and artists.

Because from the beginning to the end, what Wu Kebo played was not entertainment, but capital games.

After he poached Wang Jinghua, he saved enough chips to use his connections to lobby Japan. In 2006, AVEX Group, the world's largest independent record company, and two American and British consortiums purchased 25% of Orange Sky for RMB 400 million.

AVEX has Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Tetsuya Komuro, etc., and is also the major shareholder of SM Korea.

After getting 400 million yuan at once, Wu Kebo immediately bought Jin Yingma Film and Television, which has filmed works such as Black Hole, Winter Solstice and Life Show, to supplement the production process.

Immediately afterwards, in 2007 and 2009, he acquired Hong Kong Golden Harvest twice. Not only is it backdoor listing, but also has a larger capital operation platform, and also owns 242 theaters of Golden Harvest.

It can be said that Orange Sky has opened up the industrial chain in only a few years!

However, these people don't really do film and television, and they continue to divest their businesses, selling and selling for cash, which is now abolished. The last Weibo of Orange Sky's official blog was in 2014...

This is called entertainment comprador and capital game.

Xu Fei knew Wu Kebo too well!

…………

The brokerage company of Tianxia Film and Television and Wang Jinghua has more than one hundred artists.

It is also known in the circle that Times Media controls Wang Jinghua.

There are also some small-scale ones, such as Hairun, Guangguang, Rong Xinda...the ones who follow behind pick up the leftovers, such as Yao Dazui, Da Mimi, Li Shitou, and Du Xiadao Balabala.

But these people were not popular, and Wu Kebo didn't like them.

He analyzed it and decided to start with Wang Jinghua's artists. These are concubines and concubines, with less resources than the headquarters, and higher popularity than those of small companies, so they are the easiest to sway.

Be the first to act first, act now.

It was cold and cool in autumn in Beijing, Li Lianhua wrapped her coat and came to a hotel box.

Private events, dinners alone.

Five people, some familiar, some mediocre, and a stranger, who introduced him as the middle-level of a film and television company.

This kind of social dinner is very common, she is just surprised that the middle-level always talks to her.

What movie has Ms. Li been filming recently?

There is a TV series Eight Heroes, which has just finished. Then there is a movie in hand, Waiting Alone.

Yeah, you're making a movie again? Is Mr. Xu casting it?

Um.

Heroine?

That's right.

Then congratulations!

A few friends said that because the works Mr. Xu cast for the auction were completely different from those outside.

For Li Lianhua in this period, there were more TV dramas than in history, and there were no movies, especially A World Without Thieves.

The middle management asked very detailed questions, and then said: So it's a small production, and the director is also a newcomer... Oh, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just think that with Ms. Li's conditions, it will be highly praised by any company. .

Your company is a little, huh, blind-eyed.

...

Li Lianhua's heart skipped a beat, but she was speechless.

Seeing this, the other party continued: To tell the truth, although our company has just taken shape, it has great potential for development. The boss came back from Japan to start a business, with abundant funds, and Mr. Zhuang Liqi joined. Do you know Mr. Zhuang?

It is said to be a start-up, but it is also a good opportunity. I'll just say it bluntly, if Ms. Li is willing to join, she will definitely get the maximum resources.

Our boss is not a stingy person, he already has a plan for a commercial blockbuster, film and television go hand in hand. To be honest, whoever joins first can occupy the land.

...

Li Lianhua blinked, seemed to be deliberating, and said, But my contract...

We are very optimistic about your potential, and took the liberty to investigate. Your contract will expire next year. Or if you have any conditions, we can discuss it...

That was not what I meant.

Li Lianhua was a little embarrassed, and said, I mean, I just renewed my contract for five years, and the conditions are quite generous. So, I'm sorry!

(besides……)
