Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 284 Kill the Principal First

The person who called was Long Danni, general manager of Tianyu and deputy general manager of Mango Media.

During this turmoil, Fang Hong focused on Tianyu artists. Their artists are the easiest to criticize, simply because their artists are all traffic stars who need a persona.

Being so blatant is equivalent to destroying the image of these artists and their traffic.

Especially Shuangzi, who has become famous in the past two years.

"Hello, Principal." Long Danni was still quite polite, perhaps knowing that she was in the wrong.

Yutu is not afraid of them. They are in the movie business and have nothing to do with Hunan Satellite TV. Even if they are filming a TV series, there are so many satellite TV stations.

There is no need to go on Hunan Satellite TV.

The Liu Tianxian incident was originally the result of an internal fight within their station, which got out of control.

The main reason is that the term of office is about to change and everyone wants to take the position.

Tianyu is quite popular in variety shows, but in terms of film and television, only "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" became a hit, and the others did not.

Movies are all produced with participation and cannot be produced independently, but Long Danni is very ambitious and has been delving into the film industry.

She, the producer of "Tiny Times", is one of them.

This guy is quite talented. "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was also produced by Tianyu. However, after the failure of the struggle, Tianyu never touched the movie industry again.

But Tianyu has a big drawback, which is that after all its efforts, there is no artist who can take the leading role in film, television, and variety shows, so Liu Tianxian seems very rare.

As long as she is willing to appear on variety shows, people like to watch her; if she is willing to film TV series, people also like to watch her. Where can you find such an artist?

"Hello, Manager Long." Fang Hong crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, put the phone to his ear but didn't turn on the speakerphone.

Others can only hear him talking but not the person on the other side.

"Principal, can we please let this matter go?" Long Danni did not hide anything and stated her intention directly.

They are all smart people and they all know what this is all about.

Moreover, it has been widely rumored in the circle that the principal is making indiscriminate attacks on Liu Tianxian because of the incident.

The incident was caused by Tianyu, which was taken advantage of by people in the circle and attacked by others.

"How can we let it go? It has gotten to this point." Fang Hong said.

"You've driven Zeng to collapse. I think things can end here. Fighting is not good for either of us." Long Danni said.

"I don't know if it's good for me, but it's definitely not good for your faction." Fang Hong said.

Long Danni was shocked and her momentum was weakened. The principal knew that they were fighting among themselves.

From the very beginning, they wanted to pull Liu Tianxian into the group and have her collaborate with them on TV dramas and variety shows, just like how Liu Tianxian later relied on Tencent.

But it was not handled properly. Seeing that Zeng had a good relationship with Liu Tianxian, he allowed the two to come into contact with each other, and things went wrong.

He messed up from the beginning, was not upright, and was exploited by others. He didn't realize how sinister the entertainment industry is.

They have played Liu Tianxian too hard, and now the artist has been blackmailed by the principal through articles bought by the school principal. It means that if the fight continues like this, the income of the artist's cash cows will drop sharply.

No film, television, brand or event will use any controversial star at this stage.

Even more fans have left.

Without fans to pay for their products, a star’s value will be greatly reduced, and not all the brands they endorse are paid for by their fans.

In other words, given the internal strife at this stage, Tianyu is doomed to lose if it is treated like this by Yutu, losing both performance and reputation.

Of course, they still lost in their previous life, but that’s a story for another time.

"Then what do you want to do?" Long Danni asked.

"Let Zeng disappear and never show up again." Fang Hong said.

"During my tenure, when she was an artist of my company, I could do it and put her on ice. But when her agency contract expires and she is no longer an artist of my company, I can't do it," said Long Danni.

She could make Zeng disappear, but if Zeng left, she couldn't do anything about it.

The reason why they agreed to put Zeng on ice was that he could not create much value for Tianyu, and the damage that Yutu created for Tianyu far outweighed Zeng's value.

"I need a permanent solution to make Zeng disappear." Fang Hong said.

Later, he got involved with Guo Biting, which caused another scandal and reminded people of Liu Tianxian. The best way is to prevent this person from appearing in public forever.

Even if it appears, it is negative.

"This..." Long Danni was speechless for a moment, feeling that the principal was too cruel.

Everything he said was about making people disappear, as if they were being physically annihilated.

Chen Zhixi, Huang Bing and others also looked at each other.

"Principal, is the hatred so deep? Just end it here." Long Danni advised.

"I have a project called 'Where Are We Going, Dad?', which is a parent-child outdoor reality show purchased from MBC TV in South Korea. I can cooperate with Mango TV."

"."

Fang Hong walked to a deserted place and talked with Long Danni alone for a long time. They talked about variety show cooperation and how to make Zeng disappear.

Making something disappear does not mean physically destroying it, but another way to make it disappear, which is okay.

Variety show cooperation must rely on satellite TV stations, and even variety shows on online video platforms have to rely on satellite TV stations for distribution, and Yutu does not have the talent to produce variety shows.

Long Danni is an old hand in this field. Now she is not only the vice president of Mango TV, but also has a very good relationship with Zhejiang Satellite TV. She graduated from Zhejiang Media College.

This is also the reason why even if this person leaves Hunan Satellite TV, he can still start his own company to produce variety shows and rise again.

She has a huge amount of resources behind her, and people like Xiao Zhan and Mao Buyi were made famous by her.

Maybe you can pull it over when the struggle fails.

Long Danni was very interested in jointly developing the project "Where Are We Going, Dad?". She had heard of that variety show and the station had always intended to introduce it.

I didn't expect that the principal had already gotten there.

This is not about taking sides, it is just a simple business cooperation. As for Zeng, that is incidental.

However, it was not Yutu or Fang Hong who made Zeng disappear, but Tianyu who did it, so it was easier for them to handle it. Fang Hong came back after chatting with the other party, and Chen Zhixi reminded him: "You can't do anything excessive."

"I know my limits, don't worry." Fang Hong said.

That's not bad, but if we really do something to physically destroy it, it would be a serious sin.

After a series of mutual compromises and negotiations, within two or three days, the negative news about Liu Tianxian on the Internet dissipated a lot.

It seemed that overnight, no one said that Liu Tianxian was gay anymore.

Without those people leading the pace from behind, netizens will be scattered and will soon be led away and forgotten.

Liu Tianxian didn't say a word the whole time, and didn't mention this matter at all, as if this person had never appeared in her life.

Public opinion is now replaced by reports about Liu Tianxian winning the Macau Best Actress award, and Liu Tianxian appearing on Weibo's official promotional poster for the 2012 Weibo Night.

Other artists are either competing with others for the center position on promotional posters, fighting to the death, or appearing on the same poster with other stars.

She occupies an entire poster as a promotional poster.

Those who receive this treatment are usually big stars like Chow Yun-fat and big directors like Zhang Yimou.

Although Liu Tianxian is not as good as them, it is not appropriate to put Liu Tianxian together with other "flowers", just because of Liu Tianxian's current status, she must be given the C position.

If it’s difficult to give, then just take up some space.

Generally, the top artists in brokerage companies all have such a clause that their own artists must be the center. For example, Chun Ge, whenever you see her poster and others, she is always the center.

This year's Weibo Night will be held on January 1th.

As the storm gradually faded away, the entertainment industry clearly realized that the gap between them and the principal was not only in financial resources, but also in strength.

The Jade Rabbit has now obviously grown into a powerful force. Although it is not enough to cover the sky with one hand, it can still attack the entire entertainment industry.

Yutu has a special team to plan this event, with 20 million yuan spent on public relations a year and so many publicity channels, which is equivalent to millions of dollars in expenses every month.

Regardless of whether there is a mission or not, the money must be spent, and major media public relations and networks share the money.

If there is a mission, additional expenses, like this incident.

This is also the reason why there is relatively little news about Fang Hong on the Internet. Unless necessary, he will generally not be reported.

Just because they have a lot of business and have paid protection fees, you are digging up their secrets just because you don't want to make money from them.

This time, Liu Tianxian’s attendance notice for the event exclusively occupies the poster space, and there are not many people criticizing her online anymore.

But the Internet is still not quiet, and everyone is still scared, just because Yutu is attacking someone to death, and the short essay "Flower of Evil" has been spread all over the Internet.

Directly label people as "flowers of evil".

This person is quite arrogant. He thinks that he is very powerful and famous just because he has the most fans on Weibo. He is still trying to influence Liu Tianxian and buy negative news about her.

It was very easy for Yutu to check because many people had expressed their opinions. The scope was narrowed down a lot and this person was found.

The article "Flower of Evil" explains why she is the flower of evil and what the flower of evil has done that makes people angry and hurts people's feelings.

Half true and half false, anyway it is a distorted version of the story.

This immediately caused the more sensitive netizens to rush into this person's Weibo and scold him.

"Stinky bitch!"

"Damn flowers."

"."

This person’s Weibo account received a large number of negative comments, and the comment section was quickly overwhelmed.

Just because the short essay stirred the emotions of netizens.

She was quite tough and even went online to argue with netizens, destroying all the goodwill she had accumulated from "Wulin Waijia" and "The Disguiser".

No one cared about her, and Fang Hong was too lazy to care. As long as there weren't many people leading the pace, a few people wouldn't be able to make any waves.

It is impossible to live in complete peace. There will always be a few stubborn people or companies, and some black people.

A Hong Kong company like Emperor Entertainment Group cannot make waves in the mainland. It may be able to attract some small stars, but compared with local companies like Yutu, it has no foundation.

Even if you buy the press release, it won't make any waves.

Besides, Bona and Huayi don’t have time to take care of those things now. After the flop of “The Great Shanghai”, they urgently need other movies to make up for it.

The other reason is that people are anxious about the upcoming release of "Now You See Me" and the financing of Tu Piaopiao. This time, the valuation of Tu Piaopiao is almost catching up with Huayi.

I don’t have the time to care about all the mess on the Internet.

When the principal helped Liu Tianxian, it only made Liu Tianxian feel disgusted, but it did not cause any substantial harm.

Because the parties involved have clarified that it was not sent to Liu Tianxian, but to her boyfriend, in this case there is no inherent error.

They just tried to set the pace and both sides started fighting.

Not to mention whether Liu Tianxian can be defeated or not, the problem is that the principal cannot be defeated.

If you want to defeat Liu Tianxian, then you can also kill the principal. They are both independent entities and don't have much interaction with each other.

Can Liu Tianxian still influence the principal's decision?

However, the artists in these film and television companies have real interests with the artists and create agency value for the company.

If Yutu slanders their artists, it will cause actual losses.

Liu Tianxian did not create any brokerage value for Yutu, so vilifying Liu Tianxian cannot hurt the principal.

So this business is not cost-effective at all!

This is the same as Fang Hong’s thinking. In the eyes of the boss, Liu Tianxian is only a minor contradiction, and the principal is the main contradiction.

If you want to kill Liu Tianxian, kill the principal first!

So this is also the reason why Fang Hong initially targeted the artists instead of the company as a whole, because Liu Tianxian only blocked the way of those artists.

It did not block the interests organized by the entertainment agency, but only blocked part of the interests.
