Entertainment: I treat you as my sister, but you want to pick on me?

Chapter 479 Taming the Wild Wolf
Xitian Entertainment Company.

In the chairman's office, Xi Wenfu was sitting on the boss chair, looking at the nervous young man with narrow Danfeng eyes.

"People in the circle say that singers don't go to Xitian, and actors and directors don't go to Dongsheng, but they habitually forget the latter words. If directors and actors want to become famous, choosing Xitian is the wisest choice."

Xi Wenfu lit a cigarette.

"Although the competition in the Xitian film and television industry is fierce, once successful, the training and resources obtained are unmatched by the other three entertainment companies."

"Long Yuda, I am very optimistic about you, but unfortunately you let me down!"

Xi Wenfu spoke very slowly and calmly, but there was an invisible sense of oppression and shock.

"I'm sorry, General Manager." Long Yuda lowered his head and dared not meet Xi Wenfu's eyes.

Long Yuda, Xitian favors young directors. The Spring Festival martial arts movie "Blue Face Shura" is the work directed by him, and it is also his debut.

The film invested 3000 million yuan, with a box office of 1000 million yuan on the first day and 980 million yuan on the second day. The drop in box office was negligible. The movie cat scored 8.5, which is a relatively high-scoring category among Spring Festival movies.

As the first directorial debut, Long Yuda is undoubtedly a great success. The total box office of the movie "Blue Faced Shura" is estimated at [-] million, which is a rare and good martial arts movie in recent years.

Knowing that the general manager was looking for him, Long Yuda was complacent. He thought it was a compliment, but who knew it was disappointment.

"Actually, this movie is not bad, but I have high demands on you." Xi Wenfu walked to Long Yuda and patted him on the shoulder, then handed him a cigarette and lit it himself.

"You are very similar to me. You are born as a poor boy with no background, so you only have one chance. If you fail, you will never have a chance to stand up again."

Xi Wenfu looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Zou Wendong is different. His father is the great director Zou Long, and his uncle is a well-known screenwriter in the industry. Therefore, "Crazy Hotel" hit the box office. Due to his father and uncle, he had the cost of trial and error. Street has another one, but you don’t have the cost of trial and error if you don’t have a background.”

Long Yuda lowered his head and clenched his fists, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"I decided to give you another chance." Xi Wenfu turned to look at Long Yuda.

"After the company's high-level discussion, you are not included in the list of young directors who are highly praised. I defy all opinions and fill in your name. You have let me down once. Don't let it happen again."

"I see, General Manager."

"Go."

Xi Wenfu waved his hand.

"General Manager, you are looking for me."

Zou Wendong knocked on the door of the office and walked in.

"Do you know how much money you have cost the company?" Xi Wenfu raised his voice a few decibels.

Zou Wendong swallowed.

""The Day When School Girls Swapped Their Bodies" invested [-] million at the box office, and "Crazy Hotel" invested [-] million, and they couldn't even make it back. There are overwhelming discussions on the Internet, because you are the son of director Zou Long, Zou Long The nephew of Tiandi, the company will support you."

"It's like the ability to write a script is a pile of shit, and there are more ugly words that you know better than me."

Xi Wenfu's eyes were sharp, looking at Zou Wendong fiercely like a sharp knife.

"Look at Long Yuda again. He doesn't have the connections of your father and uncle. He comes from a poor family. His debut novel "Blue Face Shura" is much better than your debut novel!"

Zou Wendong didn't dare to breathe.

"Don't let me down anymore. If it wasn't for your father's sake, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the company if you made such a shitty movie."

"get out!"

Xi Wenfu sat back on the boss chair.

Seeing his elder brother Xi Ronghua walk in, Xi Wenfu smiled.

"Brother, I feel that the technique of training dogs is becoming more and more sophisticated."

"Second, they are not dogs, they are the directors of our company and the pillars of the future."

Xi Ronghua was somewhat dissatisfied with Xi Wenfu's words.

In his view, young people can have the cost of trial and error, regardless of background.

In addition, he is very satisfied with Long Yuda's film performance, not as bad as Xi Wenfu said.

"Brother, we are managers. Isn't the manager's treatment of employees just like training dogs to make them obedient? If you talk to them alone, the effect will be as good as mine?" Xi Wenfu asked.

Xi Ronghua remained silent.

If it was him, whether facing Long Yuda or Zou Wendong, he would focus on encouragement.

Of course, this is on the premise of not being disappointed. If they were disappointed, these two people would not even be qualified to meet him.

"Okay, okay, if I don't discuss this kind of issue with you, I will get angry every time I discuss you." Xi Ronghua ignored Xi Wenfu and sat in his seat.

The reason why Xitian can become one of the four major entertainment companies is because of the hard work of the three brothers.

If Xi Wenfu wants to become the chairman of Xitian, Xi Ronghua will give him the position without saying a word.

"The movies released by our company during the Spring Festival this year are a bit bleak."

Xi Ronghua put his arms around his shoulders and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking down at the scenery of Yanjing in front of him.

For the "Adventurer's Game" series, Xitian is aiming to create a mature and complete IP.

But the plot of "Game of Adventurers 2" has been criticized by people, and the special effects can no longer cover up this shortcoming. This has caused the originally planned third, fourth, and even the universe of "Game of Adventurers" to come to naught.

As for the box office, it is sure to make money, but even if it makes money, Xi Ronghua can't be happy, the potential of this movie stops here, and it can't be squeezed anymore.

The similarly promoted "Crazy Hotel" was even more horrible. Zou Wendong's debut film "The Day the School Flowers Swap Their Bodies" was a hit at the box office, but the second film Zou Wendong insisted on making a script written by himself and rejected the script written by his uncle.

The film invested [-] million yuan, and the box office was terrible like shit. Xi Ronghua has accepted the fact of losing money, so it depends on how much money is lost.

"Fortunately, the TV drama industry is making a lot of money."

Xi Ronghua vomited a smoke ring.

Xitian film and television industry is a leader, especially the TV drama industry, which is almost equivalent to a monopoly.

According to the statistics of domestic TV dramas played in prime time last year, Xitian accounted for 70.00%, 20.00% was divided by Dongsheng, Warner, and Brother Entertainment, and the remaining [-]% were produced by small entertainment companies.

The two brothers were chatting when the secretary came in.

Seeing the general manager sitting on the chairman's seat and the chairman sitting on the sofa, the secretary was stunned for a while.

"Chairman, general manager, the security department called just now, and Jiang Yan came over immediately, and should be taking the elevator now."

Reported by the secretary.

Jiang Yan?

Xi Ronghua and Xi Wenfu looked at each other and quickly guessed Jiang Yan's intention.

"He's here to compensate Dadi Cinema." Xi Wenfu said in a deep voice.

"Well, I'm curious as to how he will compensate us."

Xi Ronghua stood up.

If the compensation is not satisfactory, although he will not turn his face, he will also feel uncomfortable.

"Brother, haven't you always opposed me beating Jiang Yan? Today I will let you see if I can control Jiang Yan, a rebellious wild wolf, with my power!"

Hearing Xi Wenfu's confident words, Xi Ronghua frowned and hesitated.

"Don't go too far, we have a cooperative relationship with Beifeng Entertainment, and Jiang Yan represents Beifeng Entertainment, I don't want to see a situation that can't be ended!"
