The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 622

Luo Jialiang made Li Weidong a pot of the best tea he had here with a treasured purple sand pot, and put it on the old walnut wood desk in front of Li Weidong. He knew the price was expensive by the smell of the tea.

His office itself is a courtyard, and the furniture inside are all old wooden furniture. Although they are not rare and precious woods such as the legendary red sandalwood and Hainan huanghuali, they are better than an old word. It smells great in the office.

In addition to the various vases of various dynasties whose authenticity is unknown, if you don’t know the details and come in and see this layout, you must think that this is a collector who likes old objects and studies antiques.

Even Li Weidong was very curious, why do people from Hong Kong Island like this tune, and these people from Hong Kong Island bought all the good things in the early days.

Luo Jialiang saw that Li Weidong was interested in this magazine, so he explained: "This is a magazine run by a few detectives who were former entertainment reporters. It mainly introduces some of the latest industry information!"

"Most of this information is relatively secret. To put it bluntly, it is an intelligence company or an intelligence collection station. It sells information through this thing, and generally does not sell it to the outside world. It only sells to some big media companies!"

Li Weidong flipped through two pages, but didn't think there was anything unusual about it, and then curled his lips when he heard Luo Jialiang say that it was an internal magazine and also called an intelligence collection station.

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

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

After a short pause, Luo Jialiang explained one more sentence to the magazine, saying: "However, they have summarized the news, which saved us a lot of time, and we can also purchase the latest news separately if we want to get it!"

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

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

At that time, Li Weidong asked Luo Jialiang to collect new debut stars, and then he marked some potential stocks in these lists, and asked Luo Jialiang to take the banknotes and brandish a hoe to dig out people. This made the first batch of artists of Light and Shadow Entertainment, and it is still the company responsible for making money.

At that time, Luo Jialiang first entered the industry, so he naturally didn't 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 about what Luo Jialiang needed, did other entertainment companies also have this demand?
So I tried to sell this information to other entertainment companies. The information they collected was complete and true, and the price was not expensive. Many companies were willing to buy it.

This allowed those few 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 greatly improved, and sometimes it can provide Relatively confidential news.

For example, which entertainment company spends a lot to buy a new script, or which TV series or movie is about to start the project, how much is the investment amount, or who signed the yin-yang contract, mainly these kinds of core secrets involving money .

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

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

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

And these people are high-end paparazzi, but they don't bite people randomly, they only want money.

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

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

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

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

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

Alpha Music Company has finished recording an album for rookie singer Jay Chou, and it will be released in mid-to-late November.

The name of the song on the album is also attached at the back, as well as the name of the songwriter.

How could Luo Jialiang know this kind of newcomer? As the chairman of a company, how could he have time to pay attention to these trivial matters?
More importantly, he is still a singer, how can he make money by making movies when he releases albums every month!

Li Weidong threw the pencil on the table, nodded to confirm, in fact, he did not rate Jay Chou's songs as highly as the ones on the Internet, and only liked a few of them.

As for most of them, Li Weidong didn't understand at all, just looking at the lyrics, he might not be able to follow.

But I can't stand other people liking it, especially the post-80s and post-90s generation, this is their youth.

In the last days of Li Weidong's previous life, many singers had accidents. According to the regulations, their music works had to be taken off the shelves of major music platforms.

Those born in the 80s and 90s posted jokes on the Internet, hoping that this Jay Chou can stand up, and nothing will happen, otherwise their playlists may not be able to keep, which shows how high his status is.

"I'll let someone find out!" Luo Jialiang saw Li Weidong nodding, and knew that he couldn't answer in the negative.

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

"See if we can dig it up!" Li Weidong waved his hand and directly stated his decision.

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

"You said that as long as the hoe is swung frequently, there is no corner that cannot be dug. I will arrange it!" Luo Jialiang said with a smile. This is what Li Weidong said.

Luo Jialiang didn't shy away from Li Weidong, but he didn't dare to disturb Li Weidong. He walked towards the door before taking out his mobile phone and making a call.

"Hey, Lao Luo, let me tell you something, please go find a newcomer!" Luo Jialiang called the general manager of the company. Although his surname is also Luo, he is not from his family.

Mr. Luo and Luo Yanqing are brothers and sisters. They were also the general manager of an entertainment company acquired by Luo Jialiang when he started his business. He was also a senior person in the entertainment industry. He gave great help to the development of Light and Shadow Entertainment. Some time ago, he finally became the leader of Light and Shadow Entertainment. General manager.

"Poaching, or a newcomer?" Luo Mingtu, who was on the opposite side of the phone, asked with a little surprise.

How could their company have fallen to this level?
Only small companies go to poach people. Companies like them don’t need to poach people. If they want stars, they can just spend money on them.

Besides, the company has never poached people in the past few years except for poaching people everywhere in the early years of its business. This person has a lot of face.

Not to mention anything else, based on this alone, there is no need for publicity at all, and there is a great advertising effect, which can make this person famous.

"Yes, a rookie singer!" Luo Jialiang glanced at Li Weidong who was still looking down at the magazine, and said in a low voice.

Luo Mingtu on the opposite side of the phone was even more surprised. Is a rookie singer worth it?
"Director Luo, do you mean that the company is going to re-emphasize the music industry?" Luo Mingtu seemed to understand the purpose of poaching people this time. If this is the case, then it is 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, and we must not lag behind in any of the three roads of film, video, and music!"

"Besides, the company has been in the music industry since its establishment, and there are many singers. It has developed well, but compared with other industries, it is a little behind. No one said that it is not important!"

"Besides, you were engaged in music before, and you are familiar with it. In the future, you should devote yourself to it, and you can't just think about maintaining the status quo!"

"Okay, I have something important to do here. I will send you the singer's information in a while. Remember to get this person over!" Luo Jialiang finally emphasized.

At this time, Luo Mingtu, who was far away on Hong Kong Island, hung up the phone. Sitting opposite him was a woman with curly hair and a shawl. It was his sister Luo Yanqing.

"What does Luo Jialiang mean, you want to find new singers?" Luo Yanqing said, this is an artist with both body and brains, and also the music director of the company.

"Yes, you have to handle this matter." It was Luo Mingtu's cell phone ringing, and a text message, "It's called Jay Chou, have you heard of this person?"

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

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

"Anyone else?" Luo Yanqing pondered for a while, and seemed to understand, "You mean, someone asked him to do something?"

"You don't have to think about these things, just get things done. In addition, 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 have been rumors that the company is going to be a conglomerate. Let me tell you that this is not a rumor. The board of directors has already discussed it. As for which industries to be independent into companies, it is still under discussion!"

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

"I know what to do. I'm familiar with President Wu of Alpha Company. I think he'll save face!" Luo Yanqing knew what his brother meant. Of course, even if he didn't give face, he could only use money to hit people.

Luo Yanqing knew that this matter was likely to be the intention of the big boss. If it can be done successfully, it will be a credit. When his brother speaks a few words for her in front of Li Weidong, there may be unexpected benefits.

Whether it is an actor or a singer, they all have a life cycle, and what they eat is youth food, especially for his kind of drama with a relatively narrow path. When he gets older, he will become a master when he plays this kind of drama, and singing is not as good as it is. It's time Consider switching careers to management!

"By the way, I haven't seen Chongren for a long time. Where did he go all this time?" Luo Yanqing asked wonderingly when she stood up and was about to leave.

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

"I said, why don't I see other people? That's pretty good. There are so many good women in the world. Why bother hanging on a tree? When he comes back, I'll introduce some good ones to him!" Luo Yanqing agreed.

Luo Chongren is the only son of Luo Mingtu. A few years ago, he lived with a certain female star and even talked about marriage. It was only later that a certain kung fu star from Hong Kong Island got involved and the relationship broke down.

It was even rumored that Mr. Luo drank too much alcohol because of a broken relationship, and even drove while drunk.

The actress seemed to be moved by Mr. Luo's infatuation, and the two got back together, but it was difficult to get back together, and they broke up again after a while, which made the crippled Mr. Luo feel even more depressed, drinking and getting drunk.

"Just calm down, and take care of yourself first!" Luo Mingtu was heartbroken because of this only son, and now that the child is finally getting better, he doesn't dare to let his sister mess around.

Moreover, his sister is in her late thirties, and her boyfriend has a dustpan, but none of them can get married yet, so he is worried about his dead parents.

Luo Yanqing took a look at her brother and walked out of the office, almost saying that she was kind enough to be a donkey.

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

Moreover, he can't guarantee that these people will have the same encounters they had before if they changed their environment. It would be a crime to ruin them. After all, not everyone has the good luck of Mr. Luo. They should have drunk driving two years ago. Dead people are still alive.

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

Li Weidong got up and looked at the group of people around the office door. The faces in front of him were very familiar. They were either directors or actors. It's still a lot of hard work, all the big names are invited, and the cost is estimated to be not low.

Although I have seen too many celebrities in this life, these old actors who often appear in TV dramas are now standing respectfully at the door, which makes him decide that it is interesting.

Of course, there will be more elements of acting in them, after all, this is their job, and acting is handy.

It seems that there are only two things in this world that can make people awe-inspiring and make people submit. 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 these people's acting skills, but Li Weidong always feels a little awkward looking at these actors who have not removed their makeup!
