Reshaping the landscape of the Chinese entertainment industry

After scolding her for a few minutes, Xu Wan gradually quieted down.

The pent-up anger in her heart finally dissipated, and only then did He Yi'an speak up to explain.

"Mom, I was just thinking about something, and I didn't bother you or interfere with your decision-making because I trust your abilities. You're at least a hundred times better than me..."

Don't flatter me!

He Yi'an knows his mother well, and Xu Wan knows her son just as well.

Zhizi Moruomu!

Although she knew the truth in her heart, she still wouldn't let it go: "That's how your old man won me over back then, and he's been doing it for decades, so I'm still working like a slave for you two!"

"So you've learned this trick from him too?"

"Mom, how could I dare to lie to you? My dad marrying you is the greatest blessing of his life. I always keep you in my heart as a filial son."

"Filial piety?" Xu Wan turned her head and glared at him. "I wonder how many more years you can be filial. Once you have a wife, your heart will be entirely with her, and you probably won't even come back to see me!"

"No no no no no no no no..." He Yi'an would never admit to this, and immediately uttered eight "no"s!

And with a determined look, she made a promise: "Whether someone is a woman or not, it doesn't matter. No one is as useful as a mother!"

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say!"

Seeing that she still didn't believe him, He Yi'an gritted his teeth, preparing to take a drastic step: "Mom, if you don't believe me, then I won't get married in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, his mother's face changed drastically, and she interrupted him: "Get lost! I'm over forty years old, and you're not going to marry me? What? Do you want to become a monk?"

"Gao Dongmei, who used to live in our courtyard, is already a grandson. You're still a bachelor. I'm afraid I'll never be able to hold my head up high for the rest of my life."

This is the mindset of the older generation.

They are always anxious and insecure, and often care a lot about what others think.

He Yi'an stopped arguing with his mother about the matter and, seeing that she had calmed down, changed the subject: "Mom, how's business at the company?"

When they got down to business, the atmosphere between the mother and son completely returned to harmony. She pointed to the bag on the sofa, and He Yi'an quickly ran over to get it.

Xu Wan took it, then opened the bag, took out a file folder, and pulled out a stack of documents, handing them to He Yi'an.

"The company's affairs have been mostly settled. The studio has been transformed into Langyuan Culture Media Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of three million yuan, and my name is listed as the legal representative."

"In addition, as you said, we will expand our business scope to include the production of TV series and movies, as well as distribution, artist management, and performance planning."

He Yi'an just flipped through it casually. If someone else had done it, he would have looked at it more carefully, but it was his own mother, so why was he worried...

Not everyone will encounter a family member as extreme as Zhang Shaohan's.

Xu Wan then pulled out several documents from another file bag: "This is Langyuan Investment Company, with a registered capital of ten million..."

The reason why investment companies need such a high registered capital is, of course, a requirement!

In China, the minimum registered capital for an investment company is ten million yuan!

Furthermore, this payment can be made in installments, typically within 5 years.

However, the initial investment should be no less than 20% of the total registered capital.

After discussing the investment company, Xu Wan, the mother, took out another document: "The animation company and special effects company that you requested to be established are all registered, and their offices have been rented in Shunyi, not far from China Film Group..."

This is what my mom has been busy with lately.

To be honest, they wouldn't feel comfortable leaving these things to anyone else, so they had to let their mother do it herself.

As He Yi'an looked at the documents, he asked, "The company has been established, it can't be empty. How's the recruitment going for these companies? Also, have all the people on the list I gave you before agreed?"

"We've been slow to recruit for special effects and animation, but we started recruiting after the New Year." Xu Wan took a sip of the water He Yi'an poured for her.

"I spent some money to poach a few people from other companies to help with the staff at headquarters."

"As for Liu Guonan, Ma Ming, and Liu Miao from your previous film crew, they all agreed to sign with you. Liu Guonan heard that you would support him in making movies and invest in him, and he didn't even ask any other questions before signing."

"And about your roommate Du Jie, that guy said he can sign a contract first, but he can only actually start working after graduation... Zhang Jing is still considering it, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

He Yi'an finally breathed a sigh of relief as his mother slowly explained everything.

Having personally directed a film, He Yi'an gained a fundamental understanding of the capabilities of some individuals.

It must be said that the people Mu Deyuan introduced to him were all top-notch.

He Yi'an had long harbored the idea of ​​recruiting these people into his own ranks.

Now, with the opportunity to establish a company, we've finally assembled our core team.

As for his mother's talk about poaching people, He Yi'an hadn't taken it much to heart at first, but he casually asked, "Mom, who did you poach?"

"Oh, it's just a few behind-the-scenes and management staff from Huayi, Zhouyi, and Tangren; their prices aren't cheap..."

"Huh?" He Yi'an, who had been listening passively, suddenly perked up. "Huayi and Tangren?! When?"

"It was around January."

"January?" He Yi'an immediately became suspicious. Since the end of January, he had been targeted and attacked, which was obviously being deliberately orchestrated.

At the time, he was mainly arguing with those old guys and didn't pay much attention.

But after calming down, he realized these problems.

Even the most temperamental veteran directors couldn't possibly have the power to get so many media outlets to speak up for them.

Their methods are insufficient to achieve this level, nor would they generate such a large public outcry.

The fact that they were able to do this means that someone was setting them up!

Let them perform!

He was still guessing who it was, but when his mother mentioned the person who poached Huayi and Tangren, He Yi'an became instantly alert.

Although Huayi and Tangren are still very weak, Langyuan has only just been established.

The entire Chinese entertainment industry is a blue ocean market, and everyone is scrambling to expand their territory.

There won't be any competition yet, since the market is still in the development stage.

But if they take the initiative to make contact, given the personalities of those brothers and Tang Rencai, it's not impossible that they might take advantage of him.

Xu Wan noticed He Yi'an's expression: "What's wrong?"

After thinking for a moment, He Yi'an finally voiced his deduction.

Upon hearing this, Mom flew into a rage: "They actually did it?!"

"It's uncertain, after all, there's no evidence. Besides them, Tang Ren and Zhou Yi are also possibilities!"

"Now that we have a suspect, why bother with all the other concerns? If they start something, we'll do the same!"

Alright, now everyone knows who He Yi'an's personality comes from!

Like mother, like son!

That's just Xu Wan's personality!

Since we have a suspect, we should rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

He Yi'an thought about it and agreed with his mother's approach, but he disagreed with her direct and open approach: "We can try to do it, but we can't expose ourselves. After all, we're just starting out, and making enemies everywhere won't have a good impact. Let Wangyi handle it, and we'll withdraw!"

"Okay! I'll contact Fatty Ding!"
