Actor: Thank you.

Most of the struggles in the world are struggles for interests.

Even some bloody wars are still caused by the distribution of wealth.

In the entertainment industry, a world of fame and fortune where one can easily earn as much money as an ordinary person would make in a lifetime with just one movie, such struggles over the distribution of wealth are inevitable.

Many things will eventually evolve into struggles between people and between companies.

That is, the various quarrels that people in later generations love to see.

But no matter how much you fight, there are two types of fights: verbal and physical.

And the timing is also important when it comes to fighting.

Now, there is a company that "sees the right opportunity" and is planning to take Zhang Yuan apart.

In an office building in Chaoyang District, the imperial capital.

"You're a boy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

Li Shaohong slammed the desk and yelled in the shrill voice of a middle-aged woman.

"Relying on my own little talent, I don't take my seniors seriously."

"There is no respect for seniority at all!"

Of course, he was talking about Zhang Yuan.

My wife has been unhappy with him for more than a day or two.

Although Xingyunda, Hairun, Chengtian and other companies are competitors.

Li Shaohong's partner Li Xiaowan also competed with Wang Jinhua and Chang Jihong for people.

But in Li Shaohong's eyes, this was their internal conflict.

No matter how hard we fight, it’s just us old emperors teasing each other.

Now you are poaching people from me, which is going against the will of Heaven.

This old woman has a bad temper, and is even famous in the circle.

He always likes to act like a senior.

This person is also notoriously rude in various programs in later generations.

He always likes to glare at people, point his finger at people, and ban people for no reason.

The reason why she is so powerful is not only because she made her debut by following Mr. Chen Huaikai, but also because of her family background.

This person is a well-known "small upgrade" in the imperial circle.

After only six years of elementary school, he was able to join the army as an arts soldier. Later, he was directly admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and sent directly to the Beijing Film Studio after graduation.

Because his father was a teacher and editor at the General Political School of the South Zhili Military Region, and his mother was an old employee of the Beijing Film Studio.

With this background, how can he not be so awesome?

It’s because of the influence of ancestors.

Is Zeng Jia really important?
It’s not that important actually. After all, I’m not valued in your company.

At least not as important as Zhou Xun.

But when Zhou Xun was poached by Hua Yi, Li Shaohong didn't say a word.

But Zhang Yuan is not from Lao Di's circle, and poaching her would be like feeding her shit.

Although they are partners, Li Xiaowan's temper is much better than this person's.

The difference can be seen just from their academic qualifications. Li Shaohong graduated from primary school, while Li Xiaowan graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Peking University.

Peking University, and the Department of Philosophy, is this something that ordinary people can study?

Apart from anything else, there is a huge difference between the two in terms of appearance.

Li Xiaowan looks like a very elegant middle-aged woman, while Li Shaohong looks like a shrew.

"Shaohong, I don't think it's a good idea to do this. It's too hasty." Li Xiaowan advised.

The big agent was actually a little angry, but only in a petty way.

Because she knew that Zeng Jia's heart had already flown away, and even if she didn't go to Zhang Yuan, she would go to another company.

Moreover, her own son, Lin Yusheng, had been taken care of by Zhang Yuan.

Every time there is a charity car race, a seat is allocated for him.

Logically speaking, with his fame and status, he has no right to be on the same stage with people like Chen Long and Guo Fucheng.

But Li Shaohong doesn't care about that.

The most crucial thing is that Zhang Yuan blocked his way to wealth.

The problem still lies with the third person in the room.

"Kun, don't worry!" Boss Li waved his arms proudly.

"The male lead in this "Painted Skin" is definitely yours."

Kun Kun, whose skin was not white to begin with and whose face became even darker after meeting Zhang Yuan during the audition that day, nodded vigorously.

It must be mine!

He needs this role, and the female lead actors currently scheduled for the film are all his acquaintances.

Zhou Xun was the one who introduced him to Rong Xingda, although she slipped away...

But the two have similar interests and values.

Not to mention Zhao Yanzi, who is known as the Three Musketeers of Beijing Film Academy together with him and Huang Xiaoming, and is an old acquaintance.

He felt that this film was tailor-made for him and he felt like a fish in water.

Li Shaohong leaned back in the boss chair.

"Haha." Then he sneered.

"This kid has now offended the Hong Kong circle, and it's someone in the Hong Kong circle."

"It should be said that he has offended the entire Hong Kong community."

"I've been in this industry for so many years, and I've never seen anyone so arrogant."

"This is called doing evil and then you will be punished by it!"

"It's all right now. Although the film Painted Skin was organized by Ning Film Studio, a large amount of funding came from the Hong Kong circle."

"How can I use him again?"

Kun Kun nodded even harder.

well said!
So many endorsements were taken away from me, and at least I got some back this time.

"That's the truth..." Li Xiaowan also nodded slightly.

But she always felt that there was something wrong with her old friend's behavior.

Because she not only said it, she also did it.

After seeing the recent news about Zhang Yuan’s “sky-high pay” in magazines and on the Internet, she also added fuel to the fire.

A big interview has been given, announcing that Chen Kun defeated Zhang Yuan in the casting of Painted Skin.

"Unreasonable pay scares off film producers one after another, and the Painted Skin crew favors Chen Kun."

"Didu Rongyaoda Film and Television Company issued a statement that it will take the lead in resisting the phenomenon of unreasonable pay in the entertainment industry."

This is how she released the magazine news.

"What are you hesitating about? At this stage, how can a kid with no foundation like him turn the tables in front of such a huge capital in the Hong Kong circle?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"And the crew of Painted Skin also responded to the news we released." Li Shaohong pushed the computer monitor over.

"Chen Kun is an excellent actor and one of our top choices for the Painted Skin crew."

This was reported by a reporter who saw the news and went to "Painted Skin" to find out the situation.

"Look, the crew has confirmed that you are the first choice."

This old woman overlooked the word "one of" after the first choice.

And she seemed to have forgotten how she learned to "walk the dog" like a bearded man when casting for "Dream of Red Mansions", with a new statement every day, claiming that a large number of actors who had never been notified would come to participate.

"Xiao Wan, take Kun to Ning Film Studio's office in the capital tomorrow."

"Take the reporters with you and film this incident."

"He stole an employee from me, and I asked him to spit out a role."

KunKun's face was full of excitement.

If this matter is reported, and he has snatched Zhang Yuan's role away, he will be considered to have made a name for himself in the industry.

After all, everyone in the industry knows that it has always been Zhang Yuan who robs others, and no one else robs him.

I want to be the first one!
On the other side, inside the small courtyard.

Zhang Yuan, who was searching for his own news, was stunned when he saw the announcement from Rong Xingdafa.

"This old woman is sick!"

"Why are you getting involved in this now?"

Zhang Yuan thought, it is said that women with long hair have short knowledge... Oh, this girl has short hair, which means her knowledge is even shorter.

At a time like this, Han Sanpin just stayed still and kept silent, so why did you jump out?
Isn't this a bit stupid?

Although most of the film and television companies in the Chinese entertainment industry have cooperation with the Hong Kong industry, cooperation is cooperation and positions are positions.

If you jump out now, aren't you making your position clear?

Whether it is "Curiosity Kills the Cat" or the current "Apple", they are all works from the mainland film and television industry.

You are also from the mainland film and television industry...

When Zhang Yuan saw her actions, he thought of the young cabinet minister in "The Ming Dynasty 1566".

"The traitor has jumped out on his own!"

"Gao Gong is one, and there is also Zhang Juzheng."

Li Shaohong also felt that the two capitals and 13 provinces of the Chinese film and television industry were all on her shoulders? She also took the lead in resisting sky-high pay.

I ask for a sky-high price, what about Chen Long?
Nowadays, most of the highest paid actors are from Hong Kong, okay!
If you had studied in elementary school for a few more years, you wouldn't have come out to act at this time.

It takes a lot of skill to offend two groups of people with just one sentence.

"Fortunately, I'm not a grudge-bearing person." Zhang Yuan closed his computer and muttered.

At the same time, he opened the little notebook in his heart and added Li Shaohong next to the newly added Yu Dong’s name…

I guess the director doesn't hold grudges like me.

Zhang Yuan was speechless when he received a call from Li Gongda.

This is the producer of "The Lotus Lantern".

"Hello, Zhang Yuan, are you free recently?"

"Magic Phone has finished filming. Come to the celebration party if you have time. You are an investor."

My goodness, if you take a little longer to shoot this movie, I'm going to forget that I have a lot of money left with you.

This person did not keep a single cent of the capital and interest from "The Lotus Lantern" for himself, and invested all of it into "Magic Phone".

With his efficiency, no matter how good the film is, the cash flow will be miserable.

He just thought that he wanted Changchang to bring in money and make some money for the special effects company.

A few days later, he went alone to the Imperial Capital Jingyi Hotel, where the crew of "Magic Phone" was holding a press conference and wrap-up party.

Zhang Yuan did not attend the press conference.

Generally, he tries not to show up in any film he doesn't star in.

He had thought about it before coming.

He has been at the center of controversy recently, and few people have asked him to participate in public events.

Not only did Li Gongda not distance himself from the matter, he also took the initiative to contact the person, which was very unusual.

"Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time." The "silly girl", dressed in a light yellow T-shirt and dark blue jeans, walked quickly to him.

Zhang Yuan saw her ponytail simply tied behind her head, bouncing up and down with joy, and he knew that she was in a good mood.

Li Gongda also came to Zhang Yuan with her.

"Long time no see. You seem to have become more handsome again." Producer Li smiled warmly and patted his arm.

Shu Chang, who was standing by, heard what he said and nodded vigorously in agreement.

"You too, look more blessed..."

After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Li Gongda looked at Changchang.

"Shu Chang, I have something to do..."

"it is good."

Before he finished speaking, Changchang immediately stepped aside.

She is indeed a smart girl.

He was not idle either. He took a plate and went to the buffet counter to help Zhang Yuan get food.

"You go ahead." Zhang Yuan and the man walked to the corner.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing."

“After the Magic Phone project is finished, there is a new project.”

"It has something to do with you, too."

Zhang Yuan pursed his lips.

You are not doing P2P, are you?

What’s the matter? I can’t withdraw my money from you, right?

Here we go again!

"I plan to make a prequel to The Lotus Lantern."

"As for the investment, it's about the same as The Lotus Lantern, about 30 to 40 million."

Zhang Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

"The Legend of Nezha", it is impossible for this drama to lose money. With the popularity of the previous part, it is a sure profit.

But I can’t always go without seeing money!

It has been several years now, and every movie has made money, but there is no return at all.

If I didn’t have other businesses, I would have starved to death relying on Li Gongda alone.

He was a little hesitant about whether to continue shooting.

After all, there is no fox Xiaoyu in the prequel, and Chang Chang has no role.

It's okay to spend some money on her, but it's not necessary without her.

But Li Gongda's next words changed his mind.

"I heard that you have your own film and television company and have been investing, right?"

"Yes."

"You haven't filmed a big-budget TV series yet, have you?"

"Excuse me." Zhang Yuan thought to himself that I had only obtained the certificate a few months ago.

The only work he has led is "The Troublesome Family", which is a low-budget sitcom.

"Then how about this 'The Legend of Nezha' as the first big production of your company?" Li Gongda said steadily.

Zhang Yuan frowned.

I said something is wrong!

It's a good thing.

My company has obtained the license and can now shoot and produce TV series.

But without a good team, there would be no chance for me to produce it myself.

The opportunity is coming to you right now?

It's also a prequel to an excellent work.

Li Gongda has his own company, why did he give himself this production opportunity?

Is there a pitfall?

Seeing that he was frowning, Li Gongda came forward and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, this is what the person above meant."

Oh... Zhang Yuan understood now.

"That makes sense."

"This is a good gift from my boss."

Li Gongda was originally from CCTV, and the films he shot were always in the style of CCTV.

Almost all of the films are exclusively broadcast by CCTV and never have to worry about sales.

This is feeding me personally!
Having such a work as the backbone can indeed add a lot of color to your company.

Zhang Yuan looked delighted and thanked the other party.

"As long as you think it's good, we can find time to talk about it in detail later."

"Okay, I'll treat you."

He agreed with great enthusiasm.

But the other party's subsequent words and actions made him feel that something was wrong.

"Stay calm, everything will pass."

"It's also good to be a producer. You have experience anyway."

After saying this, he patted him on the shoulder, as if giving instructions to the younger generation.

"Why do you say it as if I'm going to change my career... Shit!"

Zhang Yuan finally reacted.

This is indeed feeding, but it may be the "last meal"!
I used to be a producer of "Apple", but from what he said, it seemed that he wanted me to transform into a producer!

This is Master finding a way out for me.

In what situations do you need to find a way out?

Zhang Yuan understood that the higher-ups might not be able to hold on any longer.

I'm afraid the balance of victory or defeat in this battle has already tilted towards the Hong Kong circle.

Time is of the essence.

Next year is the 08 Olympic year.

By then, the mainland's economic and cultural influence will instantly reach a higher level.

We might win then.

It's still a little weak now.

But the director is quite generous and was able to find a way out for me and help me make arrangements.

He had calculated that since he was rushing in the front this time, he would definitely be the first one to cause trouble.

It should mean that I should lie low for a few years and talk about it later.

But after lying dormant, is there any possibility of rising again?

“It seems…” Zhang Yuan clenched his fists.

"It's time to use the ultimate move to decide the outcome." (End of this chapter)
