The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 156 Fang Mo's fraternity territory

December 2, Sunday.

Within two days of Fang Mo's return to Hangzhou, someone from the industry came to Xingkong with the script to discuss directing.

Comedy, script quality is okay.

After watching it, Fang Mo could roughly find a similar Earth-scripted film in his mind. If he directed it, he would definitely have to modify it, so let's not mention it for now.

……

"How about it, Director Fang."

"The script is pretty good..."

Fang Mo told the truth, "However, some changes are bound to be made to the shooting, as well as the starring and supporting roles. My habit is to make the final selection, even if the artist your company highly recommends is not suitable, it will be the same."

"And the proportion."

Fang Mo shrugged, "The above must be done with sincerity. I'm not asking for help. Please understand."

"Natural, understand."

Chen Mingyang nodded, "Since I came here in person, I must be sincere. It's just whether Director Fang can make the decision to direct. After all, Xingkong, Junhong and Hongtu are very close. If Hongtu doesn't agree, our relationship may be easy." Something went wrong.”

"Director Fang, I have left the script. A detailed cooperation plan will be sent to your email later."

“Hope to reply as soon as possible.”

Chen Mingyang did not stay long. Their company and Hongtu were not enemies, but they were not close allies. Fang Mo had not been able to participate in several of Fang Mo's previous dramas. This time he came to Fang Mo and showed great sincerity. The script was the company's treasured level, at least. Qualified and excellent are not bad.

As for Fang Mo, if he likes it, he can make any changes he wants, and the lead actor and supporting actors can make the final decision.

What is needed is a sense of cooperation.

At the same time, Chen Mingyang also knew that he would not be the last one to come to his door. There would be many companies in the industry who would bring scripts to ask for cooperation and friendship.

And these people in the industry will basically not be Hongtu's close allies, because they cannot insert Hongtu's ribs.

Contacting Fang Mo behind Hongtu's back was tantamount to ribbing Hongtu, and he would not do such a thing.

Not Hongtu's close ally, but even rival companies can come to Fang Mo. After all, Fang Mo's Starry Sky is independent, and his attitude is very clear when he announces and invites scripts in the industry. He only directs and shoots, and does not care about the competition between companies in the industry. Don't bother. .

What Fang Mo wants is to make money. He owns Junhong shares. If he doesn't join, it has nothing to do with him.

Oh, by the way, the rumor is that Fang Mo has settled in Jinding, so if he adds another Jinding, companies with interests related to him will receive preferential treatment, and others will be treated equally. Not to mention Xingyao in Kyoto, Xu Hao, Jiang Bo and Jingying No one targets the relationship between senior mentors.

As businessmen pursue profits, it is better for directors to be more pure, so that they can make good commercial or artistic films.

When intrigues are mixed with competition between companies in the industry, a pure heart is lost, and it will definitely have a subtle impact on the strength of screenwriters and directors. This is not a secret in the industry. Talent and power are usually not perfectly integrated, so it doesn't matter. .

Come when you have to, and ignore the big picture.

……

Monday, October 2.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Fang Mo signed a settlement agreement with Jinding under the witness of the media. The content of the agreement has not been made public, but it is nothing more than win-win cooperation, friendship and mutual assistance, and mutual support of resources. Regarding this, the industry and the public Don't care, but something else.

Fang Mo is the third company to enter the company after Junhong and Jingdou Xingyao, and he is very ambitious.

But this ambition is not unique.

After all, stars and directors usually invest in more than a dozen or dozens of companies, and some even just put their name on it and just sit back and enjoy their share of the profits every year. What they want is the name of the star or director.

From Fang Mo's perspective, this is also the case.

"Director Fang is not pure anymore..."

"Is it going to gradually become capital?"

Some netizens ridiculed that Fang Mo founded this company himself, not to mention his own starry sky fantasy, but Junhong, Xingyao, and Jinding were all considered shareholders.

In fact, it’s not a big deal. It doesn’t matter if you are famous and famous. It’s just a matter of making money through win-win cooperation.

However, this kind of operation also means that Fang Mo does not want to develop his directing work alone. In the future, if Starry Sky gradually grows bigger, it may become a capital holding, and gather the shares of various companies that Fang Mo has settled in to operate under the banner. It is almost the same if it is not an institutional capital. Ambition.

Unwilling to be ordinary and lonely, restless.

And this restlessness is not so good for Hongtu. As Fang Mo joins more and more companies or cooperates, Hongtu's uniqueness and importance will inevitably be greatly reduced. Will he still give priority to it in the future?

Should he take the initiative to extend an olive branch, collect some equity and give it to Fang Mo, in disguise as his own family?

However, when it develops into a huge entertainment company like Hongtu, including production and distribution, as well as other sectors, etc., the factions are very complicated.

At least it is much more complicated than the Junhong Golden Cauldron.

Fang Mo would definitely look down on a small amount of equity, but if it was too much, he would not be able to get it together for a while. After all, no matter whether it is in the hands of the Qin faction or other factions, they will not give up the equity easily, even if it can be replaced by a powerful Fang Mo.

No one wants to take the money to quit and retire.

As for using excuses to force someone to quit, honestly speaking, who doesn’t have undercover agents and dirty information? Internal struggles within the company usually maintain a bottom line of unspoken rules, and the table will not be easily overturned, even within the company and outside.

When businessmen pursue profits, they must look at cost-effectiveness.

Fang Mo's cost-effectiveness is very high, but it's not sure whether it's worth bringing in Hongtu Earthquake.

At least Qin Xun had not made up his mind. It was enough for Fang Mo to settle in Junhong, and Junhong was held 15% of the shares by Hongtu, so he could be regarded as his own family in disguise.

There is only one layer between them. As Fang Mo and Jun Hong grow bigger and stronger, what will happen to their relationship in the future?
Qin Xun fell into deep thought for a while.

……

"Director Fang, nice to meet you."

Once again, a company from the industry came to visit. Anyway, Starry Sky welcomes them all, and it will not stop recently. The popularity of Xin Hua Lu Fang continues, and everyone is jealous.

If Fang Mo writes the script himself, it will basically be led by Jun Hong and Hong Tu, so there will be no chance.

Therefore, non-Hongtu allies come to the door with a script. Even if they cannot completely win over Fang Mo, they can still take some initiative. Compared with making money and rising stock prices, face is nothing. Profit comes first since ancient times.

"Mr. Yu, I have long admired you."

Fang Mo asked him to sit down and serve tea.

Yu Hong is also a well-known producer in the industry, and he is also a nominal director of several companies. If he finds a good script, he will find a suitable director to invite him to shoot, and he will not involve much in the secondary creation of the director team. More in place, whatever.

Professional things, done professionally.

Yu Hong's visit this time is also to express his sincerity on behalf of several companies behind it. The script is of high quality and does not require Fang Mo's investment to directly account for 50% of the profit share of the producer. It is the same as the current Xinhualufang, the only difference is that the copyright is not Fang Mo's. Silence means being at the mercy of others.

Fang Mo actually didn't care about this. There was a reason why he invited the script to be filmed.

Both the Crazy Series and Heart of the Heart are led by Jun Hong and Hongtu is the main player. Everyone benefits from a win-win situation. However, if you keep doing this, you will inevitably offend a large number of people in the industry. After all, Hongtu will not be kind and pull some unpretentious ones. Cooperation will only win over allies.

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.

The film is directed by Fang Mo, so the focus and energy of the box office hits will automatically focus on Fang Mo. Some small-minded people in the industry will inevitably be angry.

Although there is basically no need to worry about personal safety in a legal society, some methods are also disgusting.Fang Mo is not alone, and he doesn't want to cause some trouble because of Hongtu. He just needs to bring Junhong and Jinding, who he has invested in, and Hongtu should let it go this time.

One is that Hongtu's development has expanded too fast, and the voice of dissatisfaction in the industry will not be quieted. The other is that Hongtu's development has expanded too fast.

It was Fang Mo who wanted to take a stand.

The starry sky is not pure, but it is also pure.

Fang Mo didn't think about how big or powerful the companies that settled in Junhong, Jinding, etc. should be, and the top in the industry. He just needed to grow along the way and keep up. He didn't have a soft spot for any company, but wanted to follow the path of philanthropy. A suitable script, as long as it's not an enemy, it's OK.

No matter how big the problem is, we can cooperate.

Fang Mo can't offend anyone. He cooperates with this side this time and cooperates with that side next time without targeting anyone.

In this way, Fang Mo and Xingkong can get rid of the whirlpool of competition in the industry. As directors who can make blockbuster movies and make a lot of money, all parties will treat them in a friendly manner, at least they will not offend one party by making good friends with the other.

In any year, there are many bad lucks.

Pick yourself out, how nice it is.

……

"This idea is okay."

Qin Zisu pondered for a moment, although Fang Mo's philanthropic future self-planning was a bit surprising, at least it was not to fully assist Jun Hong in his development, so that Jun Hong could reach the top of the Hangzhou circle and advance to the forefront of the country.

As long as the films directed by Fang Mo don't pounce again and again, they will definitely be able to advance in three to five years.

However, Fang Mo settled in Jinding.

There is also Shining Star in Kyoto, and there will definitely be companies stationed in Shanghai in the future. We have tentacles and companies stationed everywhere, which means we have friends everywhere.

These tentacle companies will cooperate with all companies in the industry, as long as they are not enemies.

This enemy starts from the perspective of Fang Mo and the company he has settled in, rather than Hongtu. In other words, Hongtu can also merge perspectives and focus on Fang Mo himself instead of being influenced by other external companies, such as Crazy Series and Xinhualu Fang , Hongtu took care of its own faction allies in choosing joint distribution.

And the choice of Hongtu must be good.

No, everyone has their own pros and cons.

Whether jointly produced or jointly distributed, there are too many companies in the industry in China's major regional sectors, and they are all powerful. If Hongtu's allies are the strongest in any region, then Hongtu will now be the leader in the industry. , so it is.

Fang Mo uses his own perspective. After all major sectors have settled or cooperated with allies, he will have all kinds of allies for future projects and can reach the maximum value.

Joint production and distribution, finding suitable actors to play roles, etc., quick matching with just one click.

This fraternity territory is very feasible.

It will have little impact on Junhong. Anyway, if there is any benefit, it will basically take Junhong with him. Fang Mo will definitely increase his stake in Junhong in the future, and the same will happen with Jinding. Those in the outer circle will take their time, and development must be done step by step.

The only thing that is not very friendly at the moment is probably Hongtu. Originally, in the fourth part and even beyond, we were able to take the initiative and allocate cooperation rights, but now they are gone.

Hongtu has cooperated and distributed three films in a row, and Fang Mo will not deliver the fourth one.

It's time for other companies to get involved.

"Over there at Hongtu..."

Fang Mo frowned, "I believe your brother should be able to understand my position, but I'm afraid that someone can't understand the grand plan clearly or deliberately, so as to find trouble."

"If it's convenient, you'd better ventilate. I have no other intention. I just want to avoid trouble."

“I don’t want to be the center of attention and get offended.”

After hearing this, Qin Zisu nodded, OK.

You can't make enough money in this life, so what if you buy a yacht, a plane, and have real estate all over the country? You will have nothing when you die, and it will be all in vain.

For future generations, it is not good to have too big a family property. There are too many stories of fratricide. It is just human nature.

Therefore, it is normal for Fang Mo not to want to be the best in the industry. As long as he is free and happy, there is no need to put himself in the middle of a battle in the industry.

Very good, very comfortable.

……

"Decided which one to shoot?"

"Look again, don't worry."

Fang Mo shook his head. So far, there are three scripts that are relatively good. Even if they don't change, they are still very good, but if they are changed, they will be better. We will wait until they are finalized.

As for the director's share, as well as who to choose as the leading and supporting actors, they will have to audition first with the other company.

Jun Hong Jin Ding will audition if there is a suitable one. In the end, he will decide which role is more suitable for him.

In many movies, the actor is obviously not suitable for the role. It has nothing to do with the acting skills, it just doesn't match the role.

It would feel awkward if it was a hard act, and it would be even worse if the acting was not good, so forget it.

Focus on film quality, no favoritism.

"Okay, think about it carefully..."

Qin Zisu shrugged. Anyway, any Jun Hong would participate in the filming, take a share of the investment or give a role, and would not leave empty-handed, so let Fang Mo take care of it. If he needs money, effort, and people, he will say hello and provide them at any time.

"Has Director Qin recovered?"

Fang Mo opened a new topic and asked.

The two of them communicated frequently about work, and occasionally talked about private love affairs while sleeping in bed at night. It was almost a week since they returned to Hangzhou, and it was unknown how Qin Director Qin Hongluan was doing.

Qin Zisu didn't always tell him.

Of course, this is not a romantic relationship, it's just Fang Mo's concern as a junior.

After all, she is Qin Zisu's aunt. She was also the first elder to support him as his son-in-law. She is also considered to be a top-notch person in the Mu family. Her support for his and Qin Zisu's marriage will be very important in the future. They originally got engaged years ago and then decided on the year. They got married the next day, but ended up having sex.

After being mixed up by the Mu family's grandma, he thought he had found a good son-in-law for Qin Hongluan, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a scumbag and was stabbed with a knife on New Year's Eve. This caused a big embarrassment, and Mu's grandma was very embarrassed and angry. .

It was a complete loss, and it also aroused the stress trauma that Qin Hongluan had finally tried to downplay. I am afraid that there is no chance of getting married in the future.

Even if someone dares to marry, I'm afraid Qin Hongluan has no intention of marrying again, so he can stay single and be pure.

Live alone, feel comfortable and have no trouble.

As long as the grandma and his wife don't nag them to get married from time to time, they'll be fine. And after what happened with Ouyang Jun, they won't be pushed to get married for at least three to five years, which is good.

"almost."

Qin Zisu sighed, "I'll come back after this Saturday and Sunday. It's basically no big deal. It goes without saying that the Ou family didn't bother the Mu family."

"The friendship will disappear automatically from now on."
