Huhai, inside a high-end Japanese restaurant.
There were only two people in the box, Qi Shojian and Wen Fan.
The two of them chatted while drinking sake.
Both of them are young.
Qi Shojian is only 35 years old this year, and Wen Fan is even younger, only 32 years old.
In the film and television industry, it is really not easy for someone of such an age to be able to take charge of a company that is one of the best in the television industry and a large company that is developing towards the film industry.
The relationship between Qi Shojian and Wen Fan is quite special.
When Qi Shojian wanted to develop Mavericks Film and Television, he had to rely on the help of many people, and Wen Fan joined Mavericks Film and Television at that time.
Ever since Wen Fan joined, the two of them have been competing and competing.
However, this kind of competition has not damaged the overall strength of Mavericks Film and Television. On the contrary, their fierce competition has allowed Maverick Film and Television to produce many excellent TV series.
The rapid development of Mavericks Film and Television in recent years is related to their healthy competition.
This is especially true externally.
The two of them have always been consistent in dealing with the outside world. Even if it has nothing to do with themselves, they will encourage and support the other party.
This also gives Mavericks Film and Television a very good reputation outside.
At least those who come in don’t have to worry about becoming victims of the struggle.
Anyone who has worked at Mavericks Film and Television will know that competition is competition, but the two bosses are still friends, good friends.
It's just that they chose the form of a two-headed dragon to develop.
Although Qi Shojian and Wen Fan are old friends, their personalities are different.
Wen Fan is a typical rich kid who cares about face, likes all rich and luxurious things, and loves beautiful women.
Qi Shoujian is a relatively conservative businessman.
He doesn't like any flashiness. He is in the entertainment industry and has only two wives at home. It is not said that he has any small wives outside. He can be said to be very self-disciplined.
He only has career in his eyes, only how to make his company grow and become a new overlord in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, over the years, Qi Shoujian's achievements have been much greater than that of Wen Fan, and his connections in the entertainment industry are also much deeper.
For example, if Qi Shougian wants to start a TV series, well, for example, "Love Through Time" is going to be filmed by Qi Shougian, Lai Haijin would never dare to give him a cast list of 15 people.
The two of them talked about this matter while eating and drinking today.
"Lao Lai has become more and more arrogant recently. He doesn't even think about his identity." Wen Fan did not hesitate to talk to Qi Shojian, and expressed his inner thoughts: "You have to say that he has everything in his hands. An actor as popular and talented as Buyiyi, no matter how many people he introduced to me, I would hold my nose and recognize them!
But what is the situation now? How dare a Beijing Film Academy student who graduated less than a year ago to star in a major production like "Love Through Time" as Zhu Yunwen, the co-lead male lead? Did he not wake up? Or is it too floating? Or do you think too little of us tycoons? "
Qi Shoujian nodded, "To put it bluntly, these agents are all brokers, that is, intermediaries. They have always been shameless. They only seek success, only seek to make their own stars famous, and only seek to get more remuneration. So you can make more money yourself.”
"So, why should I care about him?" Wen Fan said with a smile, "That means Buyiyi found this script. Otherwise, with such a popular script as "Love Through Time", I would have made two stars myself. Isn’t it nice for the little flowers to come out? It can also enhance our strength.”
"Actually, you can do this now." Qi Shoujian said leisurely.
"Um!?"
Wen Fan was stunned.
"What I'm saying is, don't use Buyiyi, give her 10 million and let her go." Qi Shojian further said.
Wen Fan: "!?"
Brother, are you kidding me
Qi Shojian smiled and said, "There are many benefits to doing this. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Say it!" Wen Fan poured half a glass of wine for Qi Shojian.
"First, if you dare to open Buyiyi, how much sensation will it cause in the entire circle? How much controversy will it cause among ordinary people?" Qi Shougian said, "I'm afraid it will be more than if you buy it for a month in a row. The hot search ranking must be cost-effective, right? From the beginning of the filming of this drama until the start of broadcast, and even the end of broadcast, these hot discussions will exist!"
"You're right." Wen Fan shrugged, "But for such a stunt, I offended Buyiyi, Teacher Lu Xiaofeng, and even Teacher Chu Liuxiang... Is it worth it?"
"It depends on what you think." Qi Shougian said, "Didn't you tell me just now? At least within three to five years, it is impossible for us to cooperate with Teacher Chu Liuxiang again. And Lu Xiaofeng is only influential in the music world. Buyiyi is just an actor...if she really puts her life on the line, nothing will be a problem."
After a pause, Qi Shoujian added, "We are now at a time when we are going to develop greatly, so we must come up with some news stunts to attract more attention. Besides, you and I both know that "Love Through Time" will definitely be a hit. Yes, if gimmicks are added, it is likely to become a classic hit in 10 years.
Of course, it's a good thing that Buyiyi will be the heroine this time, and it's also a good thing that "Love Through Time" was successfully produced. But in my opinion, it would be more controversial not to fire her. "
Wen Fan did not answer, but asked him: "Why are you suddenly so anxious and want Mavericks Film and Television to become the focus of this kind of controversy?"
"You haven't been paying attention to the trends in the industry recently, so I don't know, something big might be going to happen." Qi Shojian hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.
"What's the big deal?" Wen Fan became even more curious.
"Yang Feng from Abao Technology has recently been in frequent contact with companies in the entertainment industry." Qi Shoujian said, "Including Yunxing Entertainment, Xincheng Film and Television, Totem Music and other companies. It is said that Yang Feng wants to invest in or acquire shares."
"oh?"
Wen Fan smiled, "Yang Feng has always liked these things, and now he has almost become the richest man in China. Now that he has money, why not do some film and television investment?"
"I don't know, but his ambition is not small. The key is that his actions are amazing." Qi Shojian looked at him and said, "He also made an offer for our Mavericks Film and Television."
"What's the price?" Wen Fan became more energetic. Although it was impossible for him to sell his shares, listening to other people's opinions on Mavericks Film and Television's price was also a kind of affirmation for him.
"The shares held by our management are valued at US$3.5 billion. If they are really willing to talk, then they will be more sincere." Qi Shoujian said.
"so tall!?"
Wen Fan couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
The current market value of Mavericks Film and Television is only US$2.7 billion, and a valuation of US$3.5 billion represents a 30% increase.
The current value of Wen Fan's shares is 400 million U.S. dollars. If he changes hands, he will make a huge profit of 120 million U.S. dollars, which works out to 840 million yuan.
Such a high profit made him suddenly feel a little scared.
"No one in our company is selling shares, right?" he asked quickly.
If everyone sells their shares and Yang Feng becomes the company's major shareholder, he might be kicked out.
These Internet people are very domineering. If the film and television company is in their hands, they will never allow others to control it.
"Some small shareholders are just waiting and watching, not in a hurry to make a decision." Qi Shojian understood what he meant, "As long as the two of us don't move, Yang Feng will have nothing to do with us."
"Well, we need to pay attention to this." Wen Fan said seriously.
"So you understand why I am so anxious to hype up, to improve our reputation and increase our influence." Qi Shoujian said: "Seeing that Yang Feng is about to enter the market, these Internet people The giants have so much money in their hands that even Weibao Film and Television, not to mention us, can’t resist! So the stronger we are now, the better, lest we be swallowed up by others and it’s hard to cry!”
"Let me think about it again." Wen Fan nodded solemnly.
His mood at this time was different from before.
If Yang Feng is not just motivated, but really wants to enter the market, the situation is indeed very urgent.
If you put it this way, Qi Shoujian's almost irrational plan is understandable.
But things are not that simple.
He and Qi Shojian were friends and collaborators.
When it comes to such a big matter, he can't make a rash decision.
Offending Lai Haijin was a trivial matter, but if they offended Chu Liuxiang and the others, it would still be a bit outweighed by the gain.
After all, it was not Qi Shojian who offended people, but me, Wen Fan. When the time comes, everyone will blame me, but Qi Shojian has no responsibility.
There is absolutely no need to take such risks.
However, some of Qi Shoujian's suggestions just now are also correct.
Wen Fan can handle it more gently.
But without affecting the overall situation, you can come up with some gimmicks that others can't think of and make this TV series full of controversy from the beginning. That's the best!
Qi Shojian, who was next to him, looked at Wen Fan's entangled look and smiled faintly in his heart.
This Wen Fan still has abilities and is a good person, but he has the common problem of rich kids and doesn't dare to do something boldly.
If it were him, he would definitely use the names of Buyiyi, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang to make big news this time, surprising the entire entertainment industry and audiences across the country.
The three people above have hundreds of millions of fans combined, so being able to get involved with them is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Everyone knows that comedies are forgotten once they are seen, but tragedies will remain with the audience's memory forever.
Does having a good relationship with the three of them attract more attention from the audience than being the enemy of the three of them
Only in this way can we further increase the exposure of Mavericks Film and Television, catch up in terms of momentum, and let more people know about Mavericks Film and Television, thus increasing our popularity and influence.
With such a huge reputation, are you still worried that you won’t be able to get a good script or attract good actors and directors
This group of people in the entertainment industry are all selfish people. The painful lessons of those in front of them will not be taken to their hearts at all.
As long as there is profit to be made, they will definitely rush to cooperate with Mavericks Film and Television!
After using the model of famous screenwriters + big stars + big directors to create a few more hit TV series and movies, are you still worried that the market value of Mavericks Films will not rise sharply? Are you still afraid that others will come after you? Or are you afraid that you will be acquired by big capital, so that the company you worked so hard to start will be owned by someone else
When the day comes when you succeed, you will look back and realize that all the hard work you put in today was worth it.
It's a pity that Wen Fan is not courageous enough and has no courage to fight.
Qi Shoujian only regretted that this opportunity was not in his hands. Otherwise, if he used it properly, everything he just imagined might really happen!
If you achieve what you planned, Mavericks Film and Television will very likely make rapid progress and firmly control your destiny in your own hands!

I wish all readers a happy New Year, good health, success in studies, promotion and wealth! !
