China Entertainment Anchor

"Artist management is a big pit now. If it was still feasible around 2000, there is no need to do it now.

And as a leading artist manager, won’t the protagonists of your future TV series be bound?

As for the operation of the film and television city, it is even more complicated. Look at Huayi in the film industry, and its film and television city is also a mess.

You currently have a product produced by Afternoon Sunshine, which must be called a high-quality product. If the production volume suddenly doubled in one year, how can you make it a high-quality product? It can be said that the quality decline is inevitable. "Zhang Yang analyzed the current strategy of Afternoon Sunshine inside and out.

"What good suggestions does Director Zhang have?" Hou Hongliang suddenly stopped worrying and asked Zhang Yang directly. He knew so comprehensively that he must have considered it.

Of course Zhang Yang knew what to do, but Hou Hongliang might not believe what he said directly.

And nothing has been accomplished so far. What he said he would do. So Zhang Yang directly picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the drink.

Hou Hongliang knew that what he had just asked was a bit abrupt, so he took the initiative and said: "Huaren Culture invested 2700 million in our company for 25% of the shares.
However, they have helped us a lot in other aspects. Director Zhang, don’t you know that when we sold "Nirvana in Fire" to the platform, we begged our parents to sue our grandmother before selling it, regardless of the price! "

Hou Hongliang said and took another sip of the drink, but quickly put it down again. He felt that drinking the drink was boring.

"I'll bring you some wine. There's no need to drink with me." Director Zhang said after seeing Hou Hongliang's expression.

"No need, no need." Hou Hongliang quickly waved his hand and refused.

"Then if I pay 5000 million, I'll take 35%! Reduce their share to 15%." Zhang Yang thought for a while and said slowly.

"Well, they only calculated 15%, which is a bit low." Hou Hongliang said after calculating for a while.

According to Zhang Yang’s investment amount, Huaren Culture should account for about 19%.

"Just tell them that they don't need to take care of anything in the future." Zhang Yang said domineeringly.

In addition to having Teng Xun and Ah Li behind him, the head of Huaren Culture has deep connections with Modu Wenguang, and the company also has shares in Modu Wenguang.

But now it's different with Zhang Yang. His connections in the capital are all with the General Administration, and compared with the General Administration in the Magic City...

In the future, whether it is passing the review or connecting with the online platform, Noon Sunshine should not worry too much, Zhang Yang is here!

Zhang Yang has a relationship with Tengxun and Aiqiyi. Currently, the country's top three companies are ranked third, and they are still not as good as the two companies tied in front of them.

Hou Hongliang obviously thought of this, and without too much hesitation, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, we'll take this amount."

"Are you okay recently?" Zhang Yang asked.

"'If Snails Have Love' will be released in the next few days, but it can wait." Hou Hongliang said after pondering.

"Then after you go to my studio to sign the contract tomorrow, you can go to Hollywood."

"Hollywood?"

"Yes, go and see what the Hollywood production model is like. I think you will find the answer when you come back." Zhang Yang suggested to Hou Hongliang.

Hou Hongliang's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Yang's words. Zhang Yang also had deep connections in Hollywood. Disney and Warner both had friendships with him. He was going to take a closer look this time.

"Then I'll trouble Director Zhang." Hou Hongliang raised his glass.

"We are all one family, why are you so polite?" Zhang Yang raised his glass and touched it with him.

Hou Hongliang thought Coca-Cola was boring just now, but now he drinks it again and finds it delicious!
After clinking glasses with him, Zhang Yang raised his glass to Director Zhang and said, "Director, I want to thank you for your help this time."

"Yes, I also want to thank the director." Hou Hongliang raised his glass.

"I also wish you happy cooperation." Director Zhang also raised his glass and clinked it with the two of them. He is Zhang Yang and Hou Hongliang's connections, but Zhang Yang and Hou Hongliang are not his connections.

After the three of them had finished talking about business, they chatted about family matters in a relaxed manner. Zhang Yang suddenly remembered something and said to Director Zhang: "Director, I bought the copyright of "In the Name of the People" and I will run it to the Central Government for broadcast later."

"'In the Name of the People'? Which one is said to be particularly large-scale?" Hou Hongliang also heard the name of this drama and asked this time.

Zhang Yang nodded.

"The scale is okay. I heard that the number of episodes will exceed 50, which is too long." Director Zhang had also heard about this and couldn't help but frown.

"I have asked them to cut a branch line, and the total number of episodes is estimated to be around 40." Zhang Yang explained.

"Yangma won't pay too high a price."

The dramas broadcast by Yangma have more restrictions on their themes, and they also have strict control over expenditures.

"It doesn't matter if I just give it to Mama Yang." Zhang Yanghun said nonchalantly.

Director Zhang and Hou Hongliang were convinced by Zhang Yang's words. They are so free and willful when they have money.

Soon the three of them ended today's party. It was only around eight o'clock when Zhang Yang returned home. Liu Yifei, Liu's mother and children were all in the living room.

The TV was on and no one was watching it. Both mother and daughter were entertaining their children.

Liu Yifei was slightly surprised when she saw Zhang Yang coming in and asked, "You came back so early?"

If Zhang Yang goes out to socialize at night, he usually doesn't come back until after nine or even ten o'clock. Of course, there are not many places where he can socialize.

"It's not a good thing to be back so early!" Zhang Yang said with a smile, then walked to Yiyi and was about to bump heads with him, but Liu Yifei pulled Zhang Yang and said: "You smell like alcohol..."

She stopped mid-sentence, and Zhang Yang sat down next to her, looked at her and said jokingly: "Go on, why don't you continue talking."

"You didn't drink?" Liu Yifei said in surprise.

Zhang Yang did not reply to her words but said: "Go to the studio tomorrow to sign the contract."

"Have you decided to invest in Afternoon Sunshine?" Liu's mother asked from the sidelines at this time. Zhang Yang and the others did not hide this matter from her.

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "5000 million 35% shares."

"So cheap?" Liu's mother said in surprise. They made 3 million in Zhao Liying’s studio in three years.

It is really surprising that this investment in a company that produced "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Pretender" only requires such a small amount of money.

"It's okay. I don't plan to let this company go public. It will be very slow to recover the capital." Zhang Yang explained. Once a company is listed, it is impossible to insist on only producing high-quality products.

"What if they must go public?" Liu's mother asked.

"Then let's cash out and leave." Zhang Yang said simply.

Mother Liu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Soon she took Yi back one by one. She didn't expect Zhang Yang to come back so quickly.

Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei also turned off the TV and went back to the bedroom to rest shortly after Liu's mother left.

The next morning, the two came to the studio and met Hou Hongliang again. Everyone was chatting in the living room, and people from both teams were looking at the contract. Soon after both parties confirmed that there were no problems, they signed the contract.

After signing, Hou Hongliang pushed up his glasses and said, "Director Zhang, this investment will probably be discovered soon."

Since the birth of QiChaCha in March 14, the company’s status has become increasingly difficult to hide from people. As long as you don’t use gloves, anyone who is interested can find out a rough idea.

What's more, this is Liu Yifei's studio, which has its own star aura.

"This is nothing shameful. Your company can operate normally." Zhang Yang said nonchalantly.

Hou Hongliang was relieved to see that Zhang Yang didn't care. She politely said to Liu Yifei: "If Ms. Liu wants to act in a TV series in the future, she can cooperate with our own company."

Now Liu Yifei can be regarded as the company's largest shareholder. Although their founder team has 50% of the shares, they are scattered in the hands of too many people.

"I thought about this before I gave birth to a child, now I just let it happen!" Liu Yifei said coolly.

Zhang Yang called his assistant over again. When he arrived, he handed a business card to Hou Hongliang with both hands and said: "Producer Hou, this is the phone number of the assistant to the president of Warner. When you arrive in the United States, call her directly. We have communicated." pass."

Hou Hongliang also took it with both hands and said politely: "Sorry to trouble you."

After a few people chatted for a while, Hou Hongliang sighed: "There are too few good scripts now, and it would be too time-consuming for us to start over."

"If you really don't have a script to shoot, come to me." Zhang Yang said proudly.

"Director Zhang also writes scripts for TV series?" Hou Hongliang said unexpectedly.

"I collected two interesting novels and I want to shoot them myself one day." Zhang Yang explained.

"Interesting novel?"

"It's the kind you shoot yourself, but it might not pass the review."

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Hou Hongliang and the afternoon sunshine team felt that this novel was really interesting.

The entire team of Afternoon Sunshine stayed for a while and then went back. Their "If Snails Have Love" still decided to start filming.

After seeing them off, Zhang Yang asked his assistant: "Are you confident that the copyright of "Sky Rescue" will be handled this time?"

"Absolutely no problem." The assistant said confidently.

When the rights to "Skyscraper Rescue" were sold, Zhang Yang was reviewing the film and had no time, so he left it directly to his assistant, who had the most experience.

Zhang Yang felt relieved when he saw his confident look.

Liu Yifei suddenly said to Zhang Yang: "Let's go to the post-production place and have a look."

"Do you want to watch "Blood Guanyin"?" Zhang Yang asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes! I was just stained by "The Three-Body Problem", so let me soothe my soul with your film directed by Zhang Da." Liu Yifei said teasingly.

"Haha." Zhang Yang smiled and took her to the post-production department.

When the guy with glasses saw Zhang Yang coming over, he quickly stood up to say hello and asked, "Boss, are you coming over now?"

"Is the rough cut of "Blood Guanyin" over?"

"It's over, do you want to watch now?"

"Give us a place!"

The glasses guy nodded and quickly sorted out a place in their office.

Zhang Yang accompanied Liu Yifei to watch this rough cut of more than 120 minutes.

Liu Yifei watched the movie, but the more she watched, the more depressed she became. Her eyes were not washed, even if there were two passionate scenes by Wu Kexi, and Wen Qi's forced hug scene,
Then the scene of a fish with bullets in its mouth gave me trypophobia.

After watching the movie, Zhang Yang asked Liu Yifei: "How was it? Do you think you can win the award?"

"There are many things in the movie that many mainland audiences, let alone foreigners, cannot understand," Liu Yifei said.

"You forgot why I made this movie." Zhang Yang reminded.

Liu Yifei thought of something, and then suddenly raised her hand and punched Zhang Yang in the chest. It was his nonsense that made her uneasy.

Zhang Yang knew what she was thinking from her expression, grabbed her hand and said, "Go home."

The next morning, Afternoon Sunshine suddenly announced that the company had conducted a second round of financing, exclusively invested by Liu Yifei Studio.

As soon as the news came out, ordinary people were very surprised. Is Liu Yifei going to return to the field of TV dramas?

Although she only had four TV dramas in the field of TV dramas, all of them turned out to be classics, which gave her a deep connection with the audience.

Now let’s say that Liu Yifei is China Entertainment’s number one star, and no one will object!

Fortunately, she entered the film industry early, which gave actresses in the TV drama field one less enemy.

If she returns, wouldn't she be able to choose from all the good resources?
Also, Afternoon Sunshine is the most popular TV production unit in recent times. If they cooperate, it will be a strong alliance!
