Entertainment upstart

Chapter 701 New Situation

Although Zhou Xia is also the big boss of Xiahua Video Network, he basically doesn't care about things there now.

In order to keep people from knowing his actual influence on these companies, at most he will be regarded as an investor, and Xiahua Video Network will go to Rasdaq to ring the bell, but he may not even go.

But this does not prevent Xiahua Film and Television and Xiahua Video from holding each other's shares under Zhou Xia's intervention, each owning 15% of the other's shares. The reasons for the binding of corporate interests.

Xiahua video network is connected to offline terminals such as Xiahua mobile phone, Xiahua computer, Xiahua TV, Xiahua box, etc., as well as more than 3 million users of the website and thousands of original video creators. This content production is very important, and it is their strongest and largest user base.

Even though the current Xiahua Video Network is not very profitable and has not yet been listed, after three rounds of financing, its valuation has exceeded 800 billion. After all, Xiahua Video Network is not a simple video website. In addition to advanced technology in video streaming technology, He also founded, invested, and controlled many new unique content video networks in the industry.

Such as Xiahua short video, Xiahua live broadcast, Xiahua music, station b and other websites, which is why its valuation is so high now.

If four or five years later, the era of big entertainment comes, these subsidiaries and holding companies under Xiahua Video Network must all be unicorn companies with a valuation of 100 billion US dollars.

When the other three Internet giants were spending huge sums of money to build their own video websites, Zhou Xia had not much money at the beginning, so he also established Xiahua Video Network early.

Now after several years of development, Xiahua Video Network has surpassed other major video sites and become the industry leader.

With the support of Xiahua Film and Television's various exclusive high-quality content, and Xiahua Video Network is also insisting on investing in various self-produced programs, this has become the number one in the industry today.

But in terms of profitability, Xiahua Video has been mediocre because of too much investment, and sometimes it will even become profitable.

But this is also much better than other video companies, at least without hundreds of millions, billions or even billions of losses every year.

While eating with Zhang Zhao, Zhou Xia briefly chatted about company-related matters, the overall situation of Xiahua Film and Television this year, new projects that may be launched next year, and so on.

It took an hour to finish the meal. Zhou Xia went back to the office alone. He planned to check some of the projects that Zhang Zhao had just mentioned, but when he opened the door, he found Xiaohu and Yaya sitting inside.

"You two are here, this is..."

Zhou Xia was a little surprised, closed the door, came in front of the two, looked at the two mature and beautiful beauties in comfortable winter clothes, and asked with interest.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you can't talk about the big driver, the boss Zhou is the big driver, no, it's the royal driver." Xiaohu stood up with a smile, and couldn't help saying.

"Yujia, hehe..." Zhou Xia heard something in her words, and said with a playful smile: "Then who is the main palace?"

"You two are so boring!" Yaya looked at these two shameless people, frowned and said, "Zhou Xia, we have something to do with you."

"Oh, I just said, why are you going back to the imperial capital now? What's the matter?" Zhou Xia sat down on the single sofa next to the two of them, with an attitude of listening attentively.

"It's like this. Isn't your new movie "Descendants of Yanhuang" going to be cast? Let's hear what you mean." The little fox didn't care about Yaya's presence, and sat directly on the edge of Zhou Xia's sofa, with his hands on Zhou Xia said with trembling hair.

"After this new year's day, isn't there a role contest to sign up for? You can sign up for any role you want to play. Wouldn't it be good to audition then?"

Zhou Xia pushed Xiaohu's hand away, and looked at her and Yaya sullenly. He had asked the relevant people to prepare for this matter ten days ago, and it was all arranged.

"Yiyi, there are only two of us here, just tell the truth, who do you plan to play the leading role in your heart?" Yaya didn't bother to care whether Zhou Xia's words were true or not, and asked directly.

She has acted in two popular medical dramas "Emergency Doctor" and "Heart Technique".

It stands to reason that the role of Jiang Muyan is the most suitable for her, and the character in the novel is 31 years old, which happens to be about the same age as her. She really wants this role, but she is afraid that Zhou Xia will say that her appearance does not meet the most popular aesthetics... …

"I know what you two mean. To be honest, I do have a few candidates for consideration, but I really haven't decided who will play the role. I will respect the opinions of the entire director team to the greatest extent.

Some of their opinions are based on the data of the national survey. Now the company is becoming more and more professional, and the same is true for a movie shooting. I will try not to interfere. The casting is also considered comprehensively. If you want a role, go to the audition first. "

Yaya and Xiaohu looked at each other when they heard Zhou Xia's serious words, and smiled, both half-believing.

"Then who are the candidates you are considering..." Xiaohu put his hand on Zhou Xia's shoulder again and asked sweetly.

Seeing that Yaya was sitting opposite, Zhou Xia hurriedly pushed her hand away again and said, "Anyway, without you!"

"Without me, hmph, there wouldn't be Yufei and Tangtang!" Little Fox asked immediately.

"Yeah, I did consider them, what's the matter?" Zhou Xia didn't hide anything, Yufei and Tangtang were both more suitable for Jiang Muyan's role.

"Hehe, what's the matter? I haven't been the protagonist of your movie once, is this really suitable for you?" Xiaohu didn't know if he was out of anger, and stared quietly at Zhou Xia with a smile on his face.

Zhou Xia thought that the little fox would be angry at him, but seeing her so calm, she always felt that something was wrong, so she looked at Yaya and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know either. I heard that there was a handsome guy who chased her very hard. Just now Xiaohu said that she was very tempted." Yaya blinked her eyes and said indifferently.

"Is there such a thing? Xiaohu, which movie did you film recently?" Zhou Xia's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked at Xiaohu next to him.

"The big boss really doesn't have time, he doesn't even know which movie I'm making!" Xiaohu mocked, and didn't answer Zhou Xia's question at all.

Zhou Xia had no choice but to look at Yaya: "Yaya, you know that, right?"

"It seems to be a drama invested by Huanrui. It's called "Sunny Evening in Midsummer", and Xiaohu is invited to play the leading role." Yaya thought for a while and said.

"Why did they invite Xiaohu? By the way, who is the heroine of "Sunny Evening in Midsummer"?" Zhou Xia looked at Xiaohu suspiciously, and continued to ask Yaya.

Zhou Xia is the major shareholder of Huanrui, but Chen Yuan and his wife still manage the business. In order to help Huanrui develop, Zhou Xia also asked his former assistant Duan Peishan to be the manager of the agency, and also let Qingzi, Xinyu and others sign contracts.

It stands to reason that even if the heroine is chosen, Huanrui's artist should be considered more. After all, Huanrui and Xia Hua are different, why should they give up resources.

"I don't know about that, you should ask Xiaohu." Yaya shook her head and looked at Zhou Xia who was obviously flustered with a funny look.

Zhou Xia had no choice but to look at Xiaohu, and said mockingly, "You and your manager's vision is really not very good, since you and your manager are always in that kind of bad TV series."

"Yeah, I also want to play some big IPs, but someone won't let me." The little fox retorted angrily.

Since the second half of last year, Zhou Xia has directed the company's TV drama resources to a few Xiaohua, letting her, Sisi, Yaya, Tangtang, and Yufei mainly act in movies, and she has acted in two, "Break Up" "The Master", "Wolf Warrior", and "Beautiful Heart" will also star, but the filming will start after New Year's Day.

There are three movies in more than two years. In the rest of the free time, there are no suitable movies. Of course, she has to take on TV dramas. She is not someone who will be idle.

"Hehe, this is not the reason why you choose which TV series."

After Zhou Xia finished speaking, she looked at Yaya and said, "Yaya, go back and prepare for the role first. You are Jiang Muyan's main candidate. Don't waste your time. You will have an audition in a few days. I have something to say to Xiao Fox said."
