There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 234 Rong Zhixin

"Director Liu, hello!" Qin Mohan and Bao Xiaoying met director Liu Jie at the door of the meeting room, and they quickly greeted each other.

"Xiaoying, Mohan, how are you?" Liu Jie saw the two coming hand in hand, and opened his mouth to ask, "Do you two know each other?"

Liu Jie knew Qin Mohan. When he was in the United States, Shen Fang invited him to his home for dinner. He also signed contracts with the Wild Fox Company to direct two other plays, so he was quite interested in Qin Mohan, but he didn't expect it. Bao Xiaoying actually knew Qin Mohan very well.

"Yes, Director Liu. Sister Bao and I are good friends." Qin Mohan pulled Bao Xiaoying's hand, and the two stepped back to let Liu Jie enter the conference room.

Bao Xiaoying squeezed her hand hard, and smiled gratefully when Qin Mohan looked over. It was the first time she worked with Director Liu, and she didn't know his directing style. With Qin Mohan's greeting, there would be less trouble from the crew a lot of.

Qin Mohan, who was far away in Shanghai, was communicating with the crew about the script before shooting, while Shen Fang, who was in Yanjing, was smiling at someone.

At the time-honored Liuquanju Restaurant, Shen Fang, Tian Zhuang, Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan were present.The table was already filled with the specialties of this restaurant, Tian Zang sat leisurely on the side and poured himself a drink, watching Shen Fang with a bitter face showing a smirk from time to time.

"Little Ye, Aunt Hong thinks she hasn't treated you badly. You are so unkind. Seeing Aunt Hong's company is about to die, trees are falling and monkeys are scattered, walls are falling and everyone is pushing, you still think we are falling too slowly. Wielding a hoe to dig our corners. Shooting your own people in the back, is that what Mr. Jin taught you? Don’t you recognize the friendship between our mothers for many years?" Li Shaohong became more and more angry.

Shen Fang smiled wryly and said, "Aunt Hong, it's really not that my subordinates deliberately poach people. I know the rules in the industry. Wang Xiaocong told me several times, but I didn't sign Li Gengxing to the company. Why, no Is it just to follow the rules?"

Li Shaohong said angrily: "This girl Zhang Jiajia must have had contact with Yang Yang in private, otherwise this little guy wouldn't make a fuss and terminate the contract with us."

Li Xiaowan, another founder of Rong Zhixin, did not speak, and sat quietly drinking tea.Looking at the two of them, he fell into deep thought.Shen Fang treated guests today and asked Tian Zhuang to act as a middleman, which is to apologize to himself and Li Shaohong.

For Shen Fang, Li Xiaowan thinks she has a deep understanding of Shen Fang through media reports and disclosures from insiders in the past few months.

With a background, who doesn’t sell the three-point noodles of his old man who doesn’t sell the director from Yanying Film Factory? My partner Li Shaohong was also picked up by this old man; he is talented, and the songs he wrote are all classics. A talented musician in the circle; rich, in September, he was ranked 9th in the domestic Hurun Report with a net worth of 150 billion. US dollars, this is already considered the top richest man in the country, not to mention there is also a Hon Hai Group with strong financial resources.

I thought that Shen Fang, who is rich, powerful and powerful behind him, would be a little young and frenzied. Before he came, he had already prepared for grievances, gave face to the middleman Tian Zhuang, and gave up the idea of ​​​​the company's dignity.But unexpectedly, what I saw in the restaurant today was another scene.After seeing Shen Fang, Li Shaohong scolded her head and face. Li Xiaowan's first reaction at that time was to pull her, otherwise she would turn his face. If Rong Zhixin, who was already in a downward trend, was attacked by the other party again , then simply close the door.I didn't expect the other party to be so easy-going, and he didn't turn his face when Li Shaohong reprimanded him like this.

After tidying up her mood, Li Xiaowan pulled her partner for many years: "Mr. Shen..."

"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 Shen Fang and said, "Okay, I'll take care of you, Shao Hong and I are like sisters, you can call me auntie too."

"Okay, Aunt Li."

Although it is a respectful title, this title obviously reveals a completely different identity from Li Shaohong. Li Xiaowan didn't care, and then said: "Xiao Shen, first of all, I want to thank you. Thank you for providing Yang Yang with this opportunity. It's another variety show, which has raised his current popularity to the top of the country."

"Aunt Li, it's because Yang Yang's own conditions are good, coupled with the strong push of Rong Zhixin in the early stage, we worked a little bit to push 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 probably won't have a chance in this life." Li Xiaowan reached out to stop Shen Fang, and continued Said: "So I am very clear about Yang Yang's thoughts. It was also because of this idea that Liang Hui went out independently when she felt that the company restricted her development."

Shen Fang filled the wine glasses for Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan respectively, looked at them and said, "Back when Liang Hui left Rong Zhixin, your company's approach was not too kind."

When Li Shaohong heard this, she was a little angry. Just as she was about to refute, she was held back by Li Xiaowan: "Xiao Shen, we were a little unhappy with Liang Hui back then. You know, we regarded these children as our own children. Your Aunt Hong and I spent our hearts and souls for them. When the children grew up and their wings became hard, they wanted to fly one by one. Back then, you and Aunt Hong were also very angry because she made a bad start. After she left, other People's hearts are also uncertain. That's why I said so many inappropriate things to her back then, if I have time to meet, I will personally apologize to her."

"Xiaowan!" Li Shaohong looked at her partner, who was also a man with a tough personality, and had never been soft with others. Now that he said something like this, it seemed that the company was really on the verge of collapse.

Regarding Li Xiaowan's attitude, Shen Fang was also a little sentimental. Back then, Rong Zhixin became a leader in the industry with several plays such as "Daming Palace Ci", "Orange is Red", and "April Day in the World". The casting of "New Dream of Red Mansions" is also famous. It's loud, but it's only been a few years, and it has already begun to decline.

Shen Fang secretly reminded himself to be a warning, then calmed down and said to the two of them: "Aunt Li, Aunt Hong, the matter with Yang Yang has already reached this point, if he is asked to renew his contract with you, he may not be able to do so." I won't agree, and you certainly can't bear to see a promising artist go to waste like this, if the two sides really confront each other in court, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation."

Li Shaohong looked at Shen Fang and said: "What do you think we should do? We can't let our old sisters stumble again in the circle. If we stumble again this time, we will lose our face."

Shen Fang looked at the two of them, and said the solution he had been thinking about for the past few days: "Aunt Hong, Aunt Li, and Rong Zhixin are currently facing difficulties. Everyone in the circle knows it. Some can’t keep up with the situation.”

Li Xiaowan stopped Li Shaohong who was about to interrupt, and signaled Shen Fang to continue talking.

Shen Fang continued: "As far as I know, in your company, there are strict staged standards for the development of artists. Whether it is Aunt Hong or Aunt Li, you all know the level of ability of the company's artists and what kind of talents are suitable for them. Every newcomer will go through company registration, professional teacher guidance, closed training, and then start acting, and continue to rest and develop skills when acting skills cannot support the role."

"Isn't that right? Shouldn't actors focus on improving their acting skills?" Tian Zhuang who was on the side suddenly said.

Shen Fang looked at the three of them. These three are all seniors in the industry. They have been in the industry for many years, and their professionalism is definitely the best in the industry. Huayi Brothers' little Huadan Yang Ying, what do you think of her acting skills?"

Li Shaohong snorted: "Yang Ying? She also has acting skills?"

Shen Fang sighed and said: "This is the status quo. Although she has no acting skills, she can become a famous little actress under the company's efforts, set up a personal studio, and earn tens of millions a year. You say this makes those How can young actors who practice hard every day feel at ease. So our company has made a clear plan for actors. If you can perform acting skills, we guarantee your role and ensure that your resources are absolutely worthy of your acting skills. Grinding. For those who are not good at acting or don’t want to work hard, we will consider packaging the characters, taking variety shows or entertainment routes. Every artist has a reasonable plan. In this way, even if they fail in the future, it will not be because of the company’s reasons. "

Shen Fang waited for the two to digest it, and continued: "We never do 'free-range' training like you do. The company is the company, not a nanny. We plan for your career as an artist, we provide resources, and you help the company To make money, we are in an equal relationship. After an artist becomes famous, he needs a scientific and standardized brokerage model to optimize his development. When you have a certain strength, we will build a team for you, allocate shares or set up a personal studio, and you will be your own boss. Even if the two parties terminate the contract, as long as our film and television production does not fail, we will still have a cooperative relationship."

After analyzing Rong Zhixin's problems with all his brain, Shen Fang started to eat something, poured himself a glass of wine and toasted Tian Zhuang.This old man is also an old-fashioned character. The digital impression production company he established with his friends before closed down because he couldn't keep up with the situation and plunged into literary films. It was acquired by Wild Fox Company. Today, I heard Shen Fang's analysis of Rong Zhixin The words are also deeply touched.

Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan looked at each other bitterly. The two established Rong Zhixin Company in 95. One was in charge of directing and the other was in charge of artist management. As the first artist management company in China, how brilliant it was , its artists are also big-name gatherings, but it took only a few years from glory to decline. Cheng Kun, Zhou Xun, and Liang Hui left one after another. The existing artists are also popular, and the team is not easy to bring.

Li Xiaowan looked at Shen Fang on the side, knowing that he had said so much today, there must be a solution, she nodded to Li Shaohong, and motioned for her to start: "Xiaoye, Aunt Hong and you Aunt Li are also getting older, and they have The burden of the family, the management of the company is also somewhat negligent, coupled with the rapid development of society in recent years, we have gradually been unable to keep up with the situation, now is the world of your young people, what do you think we Rong Zhixin should do? Get out of trouble?"

"Aunt Li, Aunt Hong, I have a proposal, and I don't know if I should say it or not." Shen Fang paused.

"Xiao Shen, just tell me, your Aunt Hong and I have already reached this point, so there is nothing we can't listen to."

"Aunt Li, I suggest that your company introduce an advanced management mechanism and marketize the company. Don't use the previous 'family-style' and 'stock-raising' methods to manage artists, and just push out suitable artists. Set up a team, pack yourself, and the company is responsible for sorting out resources. As long as you have resources in hand, you are not afraid of losing artists. Didn’t Huayi Brothers rely on resources to hear about Wang Jinhua’s departure.”

"It's easy to say. All resources require money. Aunt Li and I haven't had any new plays in the past few years, so the little money earned by the artist agent is enough." Li Shaohong said.

Li Xiaowan looked at the two of them, thought about it carefully, and then said formally: "Mr. Shen, if Shao Hong and I give up some shares and invite you to buy shares, what do you think?"

"Xiaowan, you..." Li Shaohong was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Xiaowan: "Shaohong, in fact, I have already had this idea. In 08, Ma Yun of Ari came into contact with me and wanted to buy shares. Our company, but they have money but lack the resources in the circle, I have been hesitating, now that Xiao Shen has no shortage of funds and resources, why don't we cooperate with him?"

Shen Fang looked at the two of them and said sincerely: "Aunt Li, I really appreciate your trust. Since you brought it up, I won't say anything hypocritical. I have been thinking about Rong Zhixin and Yang Yang for the past few days. No matter how they solve the matter, both parties will have to tear their skins apart. But if the two parties can merge together, this problem will not exist. First, in the name of Rong Zhixin, he helped Yang Yang set up a personal studio, and the two parties resolved the dispute peacefully; secondly, Wild Fox’s massive resources can be given to your company’s artists to help them grow up quickly, and this should be a win-win cooperation.”

Li Shaohong interrupted Shen Fang's continuation, looked at him and said, "Xiaoye, let's go back and discuss this matter. We are here to solve Yang Yang's problem today, and we don't want to sell our company."

Shen Fang picked up the wine glass, looked at Li Shaohong and said, "Okay, no problem, Aunt Hong, no matter what you decide in the end, I hope you can resolve the contract issue peacefully with Yang Yang. I really don't want our mothers to be troubled by this matter." Both of you are unhappy."

Li Shaohong had a drink with him: "Auntie Hong won't blame you for your heart-to-heart talk today, Xiaoye."
