Huayu after the system left

..........

Brother Wang.

His full name is Wang Huaqiang.

I am thirty-two years old this year.

He is a third-generation businessman with a strong background, and worked for a state-owned enterprise before becoming Zhou Yang's business partner.

No.

To be precise.

It was because of Zhou Yang's appearance that he left that state-owned enterprise.

Early 2012.

The publication of the first volume of "The Ethics Committee" was hindered after its completion.

Keep in mind that Zhou Yang was already the author of several best-selling books at that time, and was known as the most talented post-90s generation in the field of writing.

The editor who was working with the project at the time had a very unpleasant expression after seeing the contents of the book.

I tried to persuade them many times with earnest words.

One sentence in particular remains fresh in Zhou Yang's memory.

Good heavens, the science fiction you're talking about is set in a socialist world! That's completely out of step with the current mainstream. How about we change it to capitalism?

He could understand this to some extent.

Even now, the theory of China's collapse is still prevalent in public opinion and is considered the truth by various public intellectuals and influential figures.

Many people regard it as a golden rule, especially those working in the cultural industry.

Such people often have a strange kind of persistence, like that editor and publisher who resolutely refused to publish the "Ethics Committee" to "mislead" the public.

Even so, Zhou Yang did not change.

Even disregarding other factors, logically speaking, it cannot be changed to capitalism.

Because it simply doesn't make sense.

The futuristic technological products imagined in the article are all developed based on the premise of serving the people; how could they possibly appear in a capitalist society?

Because that publisher absolutely refused to publish "The Ethics Committee".

In a fit of anger, Zhou Yang posted the entire contents of that book directly on Weibo.

Subsequent content was also written and published immediately.

Unexpectedly, this attracted Brother Wang.

No.

To be precise, it's the attention from the people behind Brother Wang.

to be frank.

At first, Zhou Yang was very wary of Brother Wang because he felt that he was being used as a pawn by a political bigwig.

But time will tell.

After spending some time with him, he realized that Brother Wang's appearance was actually a form of protection for him, blocking all the dirty and despicable methods.

After the Ming Dynasty trilogy, Zhou Yang became a thorn in the side of many people, the kind they wanted to get rid of as soon as possible.

Now that an "Ethics Committee" has been established, it has offended even more people.

After "Tianshui Yao" won an award, the two began a full-scale collaboration.

How so?

Managing Zhou Yang's assets is a waste of Wang Huaqiang's talents; his real strength lies in analyzing the macroeconomy.

Therefore.

After figuring out his mission objective, he went directly back to Yanjing to consult with Brother Wang, a professional, to see if his idea was feasible.

Zhou Yang didn't hide anything from beginning to end, explaining the whole story clearly.

After listening to his account.

Brother Wang laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to get to this point so quickly."

"what?"

Zhou Yang was stunned.

"Haven't you always been curious about why I came to your side? Protection is certainly a factor, but more importantly, it's about guiding you to take up the banner of culture at the right time."

"Brother Wang, you mean you've had ideas about culture warfare for a long time?"

"Yes, but right now we still need to prioritize developing the national economy, so we can't afford to break ties on many issues."

Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Does that mean I can't do anything?"

"It can be done, but it can't be done on a large scale."

"What do you mean?"

"You're quite good at hiding your writing, so why can't you figure out how to act on it?"

Zhou Yang understood instantly.

This involves using several false purposes to disguise one's true intentions, thereby concealing the core objective.

but.

Shouldn't upholding the banner of Han culture be done openly and honestly? How can such underhanded tactics be used?

Upon hearing this question...

Brother Wang immediately said with a hint of exasperation, "You intellectuals have always had this problem, haven't you? Don't you ever think about it? In today's environment, how can you be upright and honest?"

Zhou Yang scratched his head. "Thinking about it that way, it does make sense, but how am I supposed to hide it?"

"Make money, didn't you say it yourself? We need to make capital realize that promoting Han culture is more profitable than making period dramas."

This put Zhou Yang in a bit of a dilemma, "But I don't lack money."

To this, Brother Wang simply said, "Since you understand that you are fighting against a major trend, you must not expose yourself before you can lead another major trend. After all, you are already a dangerous person in those people's eyes."

"Okay, I understand."

Next, Zhou Yang asked Brother Wang a few more macroeconomic questions about the entertainment industry.

It's mainly related to the film industry.

After all, the main enemies are concentrated in this industry, and it can be said that they control the entire industry.

All I can say is that professionals are professionals.

In Brother Wang's narration.

Zhou Yang glimpsed an entertainment industry that was different from what many industry insiders described.

on the surface.

The big screen represents the upper echelons of the industry's hierarchy of contempt, and is the most practical way to elevate one's status and prestige.

The most obvious example is the premium.

Once an actor stars in a blockbuster movie, their commercial value will instantly increase significantly.

This approach is almost universally followed in the industry.

But counterintuitively...

Starting from the beginning of this year.

After years of rapid growth, China's box office revenue suddenly plummeted.

This means that the development of the entire industry has almost come to an end.

Battle reports can be deceiving, but the front lines will never lie.

As for why the film industry suddenly cooled down.

The reason is simple: too many viewers have been snatched away by online platforms, and the pace is accelerating.

It abandons the industry rules of the entertainment circle and the extra meanings that are given to movies.

The shift from offline movie viewing to online platforms represents an industrial upgrade brought about by a leap in productivity.

As for what was just mentioned, it was nothing more than a moat built by backward productive forces with their first-mover advantage.

Back when television was first invented.

The film industry then faced a major challenge.

However, at that time, it was forcibly suppressed by politicians from the University of the West, who first gave the film all sorts of additional meanings, and then forcibly separated the two industries.

This ultimately led to a situation where movies were considered superior to television series, profoundly impacting the global entertainment industry.

But in essence...

Aren't movies and TV series both film and television works? The only differences are their length and the location where they are viewed.

Indeed.

With the intervention of the powerful hand of the West, the film industry overcame the challenges brought about by the invention of television.

But can the film industry continue to stand aloof in the face of the even stronger challenge from online platforms? And this challenge is mainly taking place at Tokyo University, which is actively promoting industrial upgrading.

There is another factor that must be mentioned.

That's the complexity of the film industry.

The production process is characterized by high barriers to entry, high costs, long cycles, and high risks. It is highly industrialized and requires the collaboration of numerous teams, making it impossible for an individual to complete the creative cycle.

For capital that simply pursues profit, all of these are fraught with risk and uncertainty.
