Entertainment: I treat you as my sister, but you want to pick on me?

In the VIP room, Jiang Yan drank all the tea in the cup.

Hearing Mu Qingya's words, Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

Xitian has indeed been like a pool of stagnant water recently, without any movement.

"I don't believe that Xi Ronghua just watched helplessly." Mu Qingya said.

"Perhaps we are already making secret preparations."

Jiang Yan guessed.

Now he and Xi Ronghua are incompatible with each other, and the two sides are directly at odds.

At the Best Actor and Best Actress Award Ceremony some time ago, Lu Lesheng publicly exposed three of Xitian's Best Actors and Best Actors, leading to their ban.

Then Jiang Yan exposed the scandals of Qiu Qinglin, Ruan Kunlin and other artists one by one.

Although these scandals did not lead to banning, their lives were greatly affected by Waterloo.

Xi Ronghua's approach seemed to Jiang Yan to be a wise move, which was to cut off the wrists of a strong man and immediately distance himself from the artist involved when the incident occurred.

But I believe that Xi Ronghua’s heart is bleeding. After all, these artists have been cultivated by him through hard work, and many of them are veteran first-line artists who are expected to become movie kings, movie queens, and kings and queens.

"Take care of us first. When the soldiers come, we will cover up the water and the earth." Jiang Yan thought clearly.

Xitian, it's nine o'clock in the morning, conference room.

Xi Ronghua sat in the main seat, and next to him sat Xi Wenfu, Xi next year.

The three brothers of the Xi family have arrived. This is the first time they have seen such a large formation!

However, everyone in the conference room ignored Xi Yannian by default.

Xi Tian Entertainment, Xi Ronghua is the chairman, Xi Wenfu is responsible for making suggestions, and Xi Nian is more of a social person, mainly maintaining cooperative partnerships.

The three brothers had serious expressions, and Xi Ronghua was the first to speak.

"I believe everyone has seen the current situation of the company."

Xi Ronghua's voice was hoarse.

Today's meeting is very special. It is not attended by the company's top management, but by all the movie stars and queens from Xitian.

Qin Deming sat in the front seat, lowering his head and not knowing what to think.

"Beifeng and Dongsheng entered the film and television industry with great fanfare, which seriously affected the development of our company. I'm sorry to say that." Xi Ronghua looked at Qin Deming with bright eyes.

"We have the strength to compete with Beifeng and Dongsheng in one year, two years, or even more than ten years, but doing so will only weaken our strength and slowly eat away at it!"

Xi Ronghua stood up and raised his voice.

"Since the fairy tale-themed TV series cannot stabilize our position, then we will change our strategy. I decided to invest in a TV series worth more than 20 billion!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
"How much more, 20 billion?"

"Are you sure it's not 20 million? Chairman, is this too much? The whole of China, no, the entire Blue Star has not had a TV series with an investment of more than [-] billion so far!"

"No. What kind of TV series requires an investment of 20 billion?"

The movie kings and queens present were whispering.

Looking at the entire Blue Star, we don’t know the TV series, but the movie with the highest investment is currently known to be 20 billion.

This movie is called "The Navigator" and is invested by Wtuo, a beautiful country.

In order to make this movie, Wtuo specially built more than a dozen warships to simulate ancient naval battles, and even borrowed a beautiful Chinese aircraft carrier.

As for the movie's mediocre box office and global release, Wtuo's big gamble didn't work out and it just barely paid off.

As for TV dramas, I’ve never heard of them. The highest I can remember is no more than [-] million.

"Director Qiu." Xi Ronghua signaled Qiu Zhaonian to speak.

Qiu Zhaonian, who was about fifty years old and had silver hair, slowly stood up.

He is the veteran of Xitian and Xi Ronghua's most valued director. He specializes in TV series and the TV series he produces only make profits and do not lose money.

"The company is going to make an unprecedented costume drama. The main theme is the struggle for hegemony and palace battles. The chairman hopes that all the best actors and actresses will participate in the show!" said Qiu Zhaonian.

"I just said why did you call us here?"

Qin Deming was surprised.

Generally speaking, movie kings and movie queens do not attend high-level company meetings and just do their job well.

The feeling is that all the actors and actresses in Xitian, a total of more than 40, will participate in this TV series!Not to mention anything else, the salary alone is an astronomical figure!
There are two modes of filming Chinese TV dramas, one is based on salary, and the other is based on episode performance.

As an actor, Qin Deming plays a supporting role. Even if there is only one scene, it will cost one million. The protagonist is even more, with an episode costing 300 million.

There are more than 40 movie kings and movie queens. According to Qiu Zhaonian, it is a group drama. The salary for just one episode is 6000 to [-] million.

Qin Deming now feels that investing 20 billion is too little.

"Chairman, I have a movie here, the schedule may be possible." A movie star expressed a tangled expression.

"Nothing is as important as this show."

Xi Wenfu said.

"I understand." The actor nodded.

Xi Wenfu said that the meaning of this was very clear, and the company would help them operate it.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Xi Ronghua asked.

"no!"

"Okay, we'll start filming tomorrow. I hope everyone will do their best and leave the fate of the company in my hands!" Xi Ronghua bowed solemnly.

"Old Qin, let's go to my office and have a chat."

Xi Ronghua said to Qin Deming, and Qin Deming responded.

In the chairman's office, Xi Ronghua lit a cigarette.

"Old Qin, we have known each other for more than 20 years," Xi Ronghua said.

"Fifty-eight years."

Qin Deming sighed.

"Time flies so fast. I still remember that you couldn't get any roles and renting a house was a problem for poor people. Then I found you." Xi Ronghua recalled the past.

"I'm going to let you play the male lead in this TV series."

Xi Ronghua said seriously.

"I?"

"Well, the script is in the hands of director Qiu. It's not convenient for me to disclose it now. The salary is 5000 million." Xi Ronghua flicked the ashes from his cigarette.

"After tax!"

Qin Deming took a deep breath.

The after-tax salary is 5000 million, which is the highest salary he has ever received for a TV series!
"I know you have a good personal relationship with Jiang Yan, but we have known each other for more than 20 years. Don't think that I am suspicious of you. We are best friends," Xi Ronghua said.

Qin Deming nodded.

"I don't want to get involved in your affairs. I just want to complete my job." Qin Deming's tone was neither humble nor overbearing.

He is an actor, even if he is a movie star, he is still an actor in the final analysis.

If I come across a good script, I will shoot it. If the salary is high, I will shoot it. I don’t want to know about other things.

"But what am I begging you to do?" Xi Ronghua said.

Qin Deming swallowed.

"Ronghua, don't be like this. You know me. I can't do anything I think is against my will." Qin Deming said.

He knew that Xi Ronghua must be looking for him for something else.

"It's just a joke, just to tease you."

Qin Deming breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm going to discuss the script with Director Qiu." Qin Deming left quickly.

"Deming, Deming, do you think I am that kind of villain in your heart?"

Xi Ronghua shook his head and felt lonely.

"Brother, this is our last chance. If we don't win this time, it will be difficult." Xi Wenfu, who was sitting silently on the sofa, had a hoarse voice, breaking Xi Ronghua's emotion.

"Then let's have the last battle, 20 billion, this is my last trump card!" (End of Chapter)
