Entertainment News: Follow Wang Baoqiang's Rise to Film Emperor

Zhang Chaoyang had initially heard from Ma Yun that Lin Zhi was an angel investor in Alibaba and was quite interested in getting to know him. However, after learning that Lin Zhi was just a newcomer actor in the entertainment industry, he began to lose interest in him...

That's normal!

Although actors and celebrities are already considered very prestigious by ordinary people.

Not only does it have high exposure and fame, but it also has fans and can appear on TV every now and then...

However, in the eyes of true business tycoons, celebrities and actors are really nothing special.

Generally speaking, low-profile business tycoons are not very willing to associate with celebrities in private.

Because celebrities have such high exposure, getting involved with them can actually bring negative benefits to powerful figures.

It's better not to make friends with them at all!

In the current domestic environment, it's best for investors to keep a low profile.

High exposure goes against the righteous principle of making a fortune quietly.

This is why it's rare for wealthy families in mainland China to marry female celebrities.

Because he married a female celebrity, his entire family was exposed, and his every word and action was brought under public scrutiny and scrutiny. It was difficult for him not to have a scandal.

of course!

Zhang Chaoyang, a bigwig in the internet industry, began to treat Lin Zhi with a slight coldness after learning Lin Zhi's true identity. The main reason for this was that although the profession of actor may seem glamorous on the surface, it does not actually involve much power, influence, or influence in society.

Perhaps because the income from filming is decent, but that's about it.

and so!

As an established actor, Zhang Chaoyang saw no need to associate with a fledgling actor like Lin Zhi.

Because there won't be many areas where they will have any further interaction.

Lin Zhi wasn't surprised by Zhang Chaoyang's somewhat indifferent attitude, which clearly showed he wasn't very interested in getting to know him.

There was no anger or resentment in my heart.

The two sides are not from the same circle.

Moreover... in just a few years, Sohu, the current leading internet company, will fall further and further behind until it completely falls behind and becomes a bottom-tier company in the internet industry.

Zhang Chaoyang himself was so traumatized that he eventually gave up completely.

His standing in the underworld will plummet, and no one will take him seriously anymore.

therefore!

Whether or not Lin Zhi befriends this person today is of little significance.

Seeing the other party's indifference, he didn't bother to try and win them over.

After that, he left that area and went off to chat and socialize with other people.

"Young man, you're a celebrity! I've heard so much about you. Let's get acquainted. I'm Wang Jianlin, chairman of Dalian Wanda Company... I have something I'd like to ask you."

As Lin Zhi was chatting with a graceful woman in a corner, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, holding a glass of red wine, approached him, nudged Lin Zhi's back with his elbow, and struck up a conversation with a smile.

"Oh, it's Mr. Wang! Please tell me what's on your mind, I'm all ears."

Lin Zhi turned around and saw Wang Jianlin, the real estate tycoon who would later become the richest man in China, coming to talk to him. He immediately became serious and solemn, staring at the other man, trying to figure out what the richest man in China wanted to do.

"Shall we talk over there? There are fewer people there..."

Wang Jianlin smiled and led Lin Zhi to a quiet, secluded spot near the main gate.

Then, he smiled and said, "Young man, it's like this... Recently, many friends have been advising me to enter the film and television industry, saying that it's a rapidly growing sunrise industry with a very good future. But, to be honest, I'm a complete novice and know absolutely nothing about the film and television industry..."

"So, I was wondering if it would be convenient for you to ask me about some things in the film and television industry?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi realized that this was the matter.

He nodded and smiled, "It's very convenient. You can ask me anything you don't understand."

It turns out that Wang Jianlin of Wanda Group recently intended to enter the film and television industry in order to expand his business empire.

Start a film and television company and build cinemas.

This allows it to be packaged and integrated with Wanda's existing commercial real estate projects, providing room for storytelling and increasing bargaining power, whether for future listing or bank loans.

and so……

In recent days, Wang Jianlin has been actively contacting people in the entertainment industry, laying the groundwork for his future foray into the film and television industry.

The film and television industry, due to its unique nature, is actually a rather closed and isolated small circle.

Only exceptional individuals can get inside and thrive.

Outsiders who want to understand this industry will find it difficult to grasp the full picture without consulting seasoned film and television professionals for in-depth discussions.

If you only believe rumors and hearsay circulating outside, you will always be in a fog, and you will always have only a superficial understanding of the entertainment industry.

therefore!

In order to quickly conduct research and thoroughly understand the film and television industry, Wang Jianlin has recently gone to great lengths.

Whenever I meet a veteran in the film and television industry, I always try to hold them up and chat for a long time.

That was the plan behind my conversation with Lin Zhi today...

However, if Lin Zhi remembers correctly, it wasn't until after 04 that Wanda Group entered the film and television industry, began building cinemas on a large scale, acquired cinema chains all over the world, and made a lot of mindless investments in cultural and entertainment real estate.

If my memory serves me right, Wanda Commercial's current focus should still be entirely on building Wanda's commercial brand – "Wanda Plaza".

As for starting a film and television company and entering the film and television industry, it's probably just a matter of doing preliminary research and understanding the market.

However, Lin Zhi admired the fact that he started learning about the film and television industry so early, preparing for his future entry into the industry, for his foresight and serious attitude.

This was planned and laid out four or five years in advance!

With such amazing perseverance and intelligence, as well as a willingness to endure hardship without fear of trouble, it would be difficult for him to fail if he were to actually enter the film and television industry in the future!

As expected, successful business leaders always handle things in an unexpected and meticulous way, which is incomparable to ordinary people.

Next...

Lin Zhi then had a lively chat with Wang Jianlin, who wanted to conduct in-depth research and understanding of the film and television industry.

Lin Zhi almost always answered any question Wang Jianlin asked.

Anyway, these things related to investment in the film and television industry aren't exactly insider information, and there aren't any taboos or things that can't be talked about.

Therefore, Lin Zhi basically tells everyone what he knows and has no intention of hiding anything.

The two then had a very pleasant conversation.

They quickly became quite familiar with each other.

They chatted until evening, when the business dinner hosted by Sohu began, and Lin Zhi and Wang Jianlin finally ended their conversation.

Finally, when they parted, they exchanged phone numbers. Wang Jianlin smiled and said, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, that he would find some time to have a proper chat with Lin Zhi again...

Clearly, we haven't had enough fun yet!
