Fang Zhicheng frowned and said, "Can you give me the contact information of the victim girl?"
Zhong Yang hesitated and said, "Master Cheng, this is not a joke. I can give you the contact information, but you'd better not get involved in this matter, otherwise you'll get into trouble."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
After hanging up the phone with Zhong Yang, Fang Zhicheng received the text message. The woman's name was Zhai Hui.
Fang Zhicheng pondered for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to call Xu Hui, "Hello, is this Zhai Hui?"
Zhai Hui hesitated and said, "Yes, you are?"
Fang Zhicheng explained: "I am a staff member of the Dongtai County Government, and I want to meet you and have a chat."
"Sorry, I don't have time!" Zhai Hui hung up the phone decisively. She was much more cautious than expected.
Fang Zhicheng listened to the busy tone, sighed, and sent a text message to Zhai Hui, "Hello, Zhai Hui. I know your past and what you are doing now. After knowing those stories, my first reaction was anger, and my second reaction was to want to help you. If you are willing, let's meet and talk to each other."
Seeing that the text message fell on deaf ears, Fang Zhicheng could only put the matter aside for the time being. After all, if he wanted to meet this woman, they needed to be honest with each other. If he pressed her, it would arouse her vigilance and disgust.
…
I came to the film and television base of Yu Ming Media Group on the weekend. Shuangtan Town has become a famous tourist destination in Yinzhou because of this base. Many people heard that the crew of "Swordsman 2" was choosing locations for filming here and came here.
Shen Wei originally owned an entertainment company and was considered an insider in the industry. After her investigation, she found that three or four crews had entered the film and television base after the Spring Festival, so it was no longer as deserted as before. The local people also noticed the business opportunities. Some sold boxed lunches to provide three meals a day for the crew members. Some people expanded and renovated their old houses and turned them into hotels to provide accommodation for the crew members. Some villagers were invited to the film and television base to serve as extras. At the end of the day, they could not only get boxed lunches, but also receive good fees.
Shuangtan Town has attracted the attention of other towns because its film and television base has boosted tourism, boosted local consumption, and revitalized local basic service industries. Many towns have even given suggestions to the Investment Promotion Bureau, hoping that it could recruit more film and television companies, which would also boost their economic development.
Fang Zhicheng gave Li Hui some advice on this matter. Dongtai no longer attracted similar film and television bases afterwards. The reason was very simple. One film and television base is a feature, but if there are several film and television bases, it is no longer a feature but a bad thing.
Shen Wei accompanied Fang Zhicheng as he walked through the film and television base. She smiled and said, "Advisor Fang, how is it going? Yu Ming and I are doing pretty well, right? If this trend continues, within a year, Yu Ming Film and Television Base will surpass several other competitors and become the best film and television shooting location in the country."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled: "Are you too confident?"
Shen Wei said unhappily: "Don't you have confidence in us?"
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Film and TV bases are still a very competitive industry at this stage, but I am afraid that after you start it, it will make everyone jealous and lead to other places imitating it. If there are film and TV bases all over the country, how can Yuming Film and TV Base stand out?"
Shen Wei smiled and said, "I call you a consultant, and you really give me a lesson. Well, why don't you tell me how to avoid being drowned in a group of film and television bases!"
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Yuming must take a different path. The film and television base is only one of the links. It and the performing arts school are the hardware for the group's development and growth. Now that we have the hardware, we must increase the support of software. The so-called software, first, is to establish a strong and well-established artist company; second, to have a screenwriter, director, shoot, etc., a film and television production team that can enter the domestic mainstream TV series and film market; third, it is a cultural product output channel that can form a good cooperative relationship with major domestic TV stations and major movie cities. With these three aspects, Yuming can truly be regarded as a so-called media group."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng talking about it like a treasure, Shen Wei smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, as a consultant, have such clear ideas. It makes me feel enlightened. You mean, I not only need a place to shoot TV series and movies, but also the ability to train artists, produce and promote TV movies."
Fang Zhicheng snapped his fingers and nodded, saying, "Ruzi is teachable. That's why Yuming Media Group has taken the first step with difficulty, but the road ahead will be even more difficult."
As they talked, they walked to the filming site of the TV series "Swordsman 2". Fang Zhicheng saw a familiar face among the crowd, it was Yang Xiaoqiao who had always been the focus of Fang Zhicheng's attention. Yang Xiaoqiao stood behind the heroine in a maid's outfit, following silently, without saying a word from beginning to end. However, her expressions and movements were impressive, and she was not affected by the heroine's extraordinary temperament at all.
Seeing Fang Zhicheng staring at her intently, Shen Wei teased, "How does it feel to see a popular star in China? Do you want to rush over and ask for an autograph?"
Fang Zhicheng curled his lips and said, "Do you think I'm so vulgar? I just saw a familiar figure among the extras."
Shen Wei took a closer look and asked in confusion, "Yang Xiaoqiao?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Yes, I think this little girl has great potential. She will definitely become a big star in the future."
Shen Wei pouted and said unhappily, "You are not attracted to her, are you? You are such a playboy."
Fang Zhicheng was speechless, and smiled bitterly: "I am just telling the truth, Sister Wei, are you jealous?"
Shen Wei snorted and said, "I don't have the time to be jealous of you! Yang Xiaoqiao is indeed a good star embryo, but it takes at least five years and at most ten years to gain a firm position in the entertainment industry. It's a big melting pot, and you might be ruined if you're not careful. From a certain perspective, the survival rate of stars is less than one in ten thousand. So the probability of her becoming a big star is not high."
Fang Zhicheng sniffed and said, "If Yuming Media Group puts all its resources on her, how much will the probability increase?"
Shen Wei raised her eyebrows, and this time she was really angry, and said angrily: "You are not really interested in her, are you?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands quickly and explained with a smile: "You misunderstood me. I am just giving you an idea. As a media group, if you want to achieve results as soon as possible, you have to launch something competitive. In my opinion, if you can train Yang Xiaoqiao to be the hottest star, this is undoubtedly a shortcut. Because as a large number of film and television audiences, they will not pay attention to the growth process and experience of a company, but they will pay attention to how a star rises."
Shen Wei pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "I know what you mean."
Chapter 0407 Entertainment Circle
After strolling around the film and television base for half a day, it was already time for dinner. Qin Yuming came from the performing arts school to meet up with Fang Zhicheng and Shen Wei. They found a seat at a specialty restaurant in the base and ordered a few home-cooked dishes. Halfway through, Dingzi came over to join the dinner. The four of them had a good relationship and had a happy meal.
Dingzi has changed a lot compared to more than a year ago. He now has the demeanor of a senior manager of a large company. He wears gold-rimmed glasses, and his originally too thin face has become more fleshy. At first glance, he looks like a nice and handsome young man.
Dingzi toasted Fang Zhicheng with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, I have to admire your vision. It hasn't been long since Yuming Dance School has become a media group. Oh, think about it. Dingzi is also a cultured person now. This feeling is really good. It's all thanks to you. I'll drink it first!"
Fang Zhicheng didn't have much affection for Dingzi at first, but after getting along with him for a long time, he found that Dingzi was quite simple and attached great importance to the loyalty between brothers. He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "Dingzi, work hard in the future. In a few years, when the media group goes public, you will be a loyal minister. Then you can say these corny lines."
Dingzi chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, Yuming Media Group will be listed on the stock market. By then, I will be the vice president of the listed company, and my net worth will double."
Shen Wei glanced at Dingzi unhappily and said with a smile: "Dingzi, although you are not a second-generation rich, you are at least a second-generation official. How can you speak so unsophisticatedly? There is a sense of nouveau riche in your words."
Dingzi sniffed and said seriously, "Sister Wei, this is what you don't know. Everyone must have a unique temperament. I am gathering my unique temperament."
Shen Wei sneered and said, "Your temperament is quite unique."
Qin Yuming also laughed and said, "Weiwei, we really can't do without Dingzi in our senior management. Dingzi occasionally says something during meetings, which can dilute the serious atmosphere of the meeting."
