China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 327 Turning Against Each other 【Two in One】

Originally, according to Gao Fei's original plan, he should have directly and seamlessly joined the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" after finishing the shooting task of "Weird Man and Yizhimei".

After all, he wrote the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife". For him, there is no need to try to figure out what the author thinks.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

On the way back to the capital, after Han Li had finished telling the news she had inquired about, Gao Fei understood that he had to put aside the matter of the movie for a while.

……

"Boss, according to the information I have received, it is basically confirmed that "Peacock Ling" will be aired on CCTV next year as a big opening drama."

"But after selling the first round, they actually have nothing to do."

"This is abnormal!"

Speaking of this, Han Li's voice paused slightly, and then she shook her head and said:
"Although Zhou Yi's recent public opinion and word-of-mouth have declined, such a start should be considered very good for "Peacock Ling"."

"Even if it's more difficult to go to the stars in the second round, there will always be no problem with the local stations, but... I haven't heard any relevant information so far."

After listening to Han Li's words, Gao Fei couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After working together for so long, Gao Fei naturally understood Han Li's surprise.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Han Li is now like a roundworm in Gao Fei's stomach, and even knows himself better than himself.

And this time, Han Li guessed right again without any surprise.

Sure enough, Gao Fei was really interested in acquiring Zhou Yi!

As for the reason, speaking of it, it was stimulated by Huayi's listing.

Originally, Gao Fei didn't think so far, nor did he think about the future.

But when he saw that Huayi Brothers went public, the Wang brothers had soared [-] miles in one day and became giants in the industry, Gao Fei was immediately touched.

To put it more elegantly, it is called "he can replace it".

To be more straightforward, it would be "those two trash can do it, why can't I?"

You must know that Gao Fei has never thought how great the Wang brothers are.

That's why they frequently turned a deaf ear to their solicitations and dismissed them.

But now those two guys that he didn't like very much have done something that shocked him.

Naturally, Gao Fei's heart became more and more eager to move.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately said decisively with a dark face:
"Find out where Lao Yu is, and book the nearest ticket."

"I want to see him...as soon as possible!"

As Zhouyi's head brother and veteran employee, Gao Fei believes that Yu Bo must know some things.

However, if some things are just a phone call, Gao Fei may not be willing to talk about the aftermath.

Seeing what Gao Fei said, Han Li immediately nodded slightly, turned around and arranged vigorously.

So one and a half hours later, Gao Fei got on the plane to Hainan.

……

2010 2 Month 8 Day.

9 o'clock in the morning.

In this day, it has been 10 days since "Peacock Ling" was finished, and it is less than a week before the New Year's Eve.

Gao Fei, who flew here overnight, finally met Yu Bo in a hotel near Jinhua Building, No. 24 Yilong Road, HK City.

Although we haven't seen each other for only half a year, Gao Fei found that Yu Bo's condition was much worse than it was half a year ago.

At least half a year ago, this stinky guy wouldn't have gone out with his greasy and messy hair.

And seeing Gao Fei appearing in front of him, Yu Bo was immediately stunned.

Looking at his tired eyes, Gao Fei couldn't help sighing softly:
"drink wine?"

"...I treat you!"

Hearing this, Yu Bo immediately laughed at himself.

Seeing this situation, Han Li immediately went down to make arrangements silently.

So a quarter of an hour later.

I saw Gao Fei and Yu Bo sitting casually on the carpet in the living room, and in front of them was a pile of beer that Han Li bought from a convenience store in a mess.

By the way, the living room where the two of them are at the moment is still the hotel suite that Yu Bo has ordered.

As for Gao Fei's stingy way of treating guests, Yu Bo didn't dislike him either.

Because what he lacks now is a friend who can drink with him.

But then again, after the first round of a TV series was aired on CCTV, the production company of the TV series did not sell the right to broadcast the second round. This is indeed very rare in the industry.

It was precisely because of this abnormal situation that Han Li was keenly aware that there might be something wrong inside Zhou Yi.

Therefore, there will be subsequent investigations.

It's just that she is an outsider after all, and some news is actually only known to those involved.

As for Yu Bo, he was undoubtedly one of the insiders.

And when he learned of Gao Fei's purpose, Yu Bo pondered for a while, and didn't continue to hide it from him.

After drinking a few cans of beer, Yu Bo was disappointed and said:

"...The Book of Changes is over!"

……

Speaking of which, Zhouyi is actually very different from other domestic film and television companies.

Although it is not a screenwriter-centered system within Zhouyi, the screenwriter's right to speak is indeed comparable to that of the director.

Even in many cases, many projects were initiated by the screenwriter team before the director participated.

Because Jiang Xuerou started her career with the Pumpkin Creation Center as her team.

By the way, the name Pumpkin Creation Center still comes from Jiang Xuerou's son "Little Pumpkin".

However, although Jiang Xuerou is a girl, but as the initiator of the Chinese Wuxia Literature Society, she has always been fascinated by the world of martial arts where "life is full of joy, death without regret".

In her view, martial arts is the common language of Chinese people all over the world.And we have always firmly believed that what we can export most in reverse is the martial arts spirit of blood for alliance.

It is also for this reason that Jiang Xuerou has been obsessed with making martial arts films that are worthy of conscience after the establishment of Zhouyi.

The script of the early "Xiao Shishilang" was bought by her in exchange for a flat in Wanwan.

It can be said that Jiang Xuerou really worked hard to achieve Zhou Yi's current achievements.

It's just that although Jiang Xuerou is talented, her husband paid for Zhou Yi's start-up. After all, the cost of filming a TV series is not a small figure.

For this reason, Zhou Yi's financial and personnel rights have always been in the hands of his husband, while Jiang Xuerou is mainly responsible for content production.

Originally, this was a very good structure. After all, it is a mom-and-pop store, and it is already very good to be able to do this.

It's just that many couples who keep saying that they want to live forever, most of them end up halfway.

So, what was not a problem before has become a big problem.

Because the boss of Zhouyi, Zhou Ping, has drawn blood from the company for other investments all the year round, the proprietress Jiang Xuerou and several screenwriters have always had opinions.

So when "Seven Weapons: Peacock Feathers" was filmed, the interior of Yiyi was already in turmoil.

As for the later "feeding gate", it was actually just an introduction.

And although the last scandal seems to be gradually calming down, the internal conflicts in Zhouyi are far more serious than everyone imagined.

……

Having said that, Yu Bo paused, and revealed another piece of news that Gao Fei didn't know.

I saw him with a helpless wry smile and said:
"Don't look at the "Shuiyuedongtian" we filmed back then, which became popular, but now that I think about it, it's better not to film it!"

"The company has been in a lawsuit for five years just for this show, and we still don't know when it will end!"

Originally, the aftermath of this kind of family scandal should not be said to the outside world, but Zhou Yi was about to disappear, and Yu Bo didn't bother to maintain it anymore.

After all, those two bosses don't care, so why should he be so caring as a wage earner!
After listening to Yu Bo's words, Gao Fei realized that the lawsuit he was talking about was actually against the distribution company.

And not with one, but with two agency companies at the same time.

As for the origin of the matter is very simple.

Because Zhou Yi's network and word-of-mouth have not been established in the early days, many TV dramas are filmed, but they are not able to sell them.

So under such circumstances, they can only hand it over to agency distributors in other provinces. Although the price they give is definitely not as good as that of the TV station, they can recover a little bit of the cost.

Not to mention, although this method seems a bit aggrieved, the early Zhouyi TV series, such as "Qing He Jue Lian" and "Wulin Wai Shi", used this method to meet the audience.

Otherwise, judging from the business ecology of the industry at that time, no matter how good Zhou Yi's TV drama was, the TV station would not accept it.

Because they have "stable" and "reliable" partners.

This is why, even though Zhou Yi successively produced popular TV dramas such as "Great Love in Qinghe", "Wulin Outer History", "Love Through Time and Space", "Li Wei as an Official", "Youth King" and "Xiao Shishilang", when " After the production of "Shuiyuedongtian" was completed, it still had to entrust professionals from all over the world to distribute it as an agent.

There is no other reason, but the relationship between Zhouyi and the TV station is not in place yet!

Of course, this phenomenon used to be very serious, but it is much better now.

But it's not that the TV station's conscience discovered it, but because there were too many classic TV dramas in the early years, so they naturally didn't cherish them.

However, as more and more film and television talents flock to the film industry, there have been fewer and fewer high-quality TV dramas in recent years.

In this way, it is natural that rare things are more expensive.

It's just that although the bad rules of agency distribution of TV dramas are indeed irritating, it is not because of this unspoken rule that Zhou Yi and the agency distribution company are really going to court.

Because in this lawsuit, Zhou Yi was sued by the agency publishing company.

……

Regarding some details of this dispute, Yu Bo is actually not very clear.

But according to his understanding, it seems that because his boss lost investment in other places and needed money urgently, he sold the two products.

As a result, Hunan Lirenhang International Film and Television Communication Center and Hunan Ziyu Culture Communication Co., Ltd. naturally refused to agree.

As a professional company, they know better than anyone else that eating both means neither can eat.

So this lawsuit has been fighting since 05.

So far, all the litigation fees between the two parties have been higher than the agency distribution fee agreed at the beginning.

Therefore, even though Zhou Yi didn't take it seriously, the boss Zhou Ping has been standing firm.

And this is actually not the first time Zhou Ping has done this kind of thing. The early "Xiao Shishilang" was also sued for the same reason.

It's just that because there was really no room for sophistry in the contract, Zhou Yi could only pay 30 yuan to settle the matter.

Hearing this, Gao Fei and Han Li couldn't help but look at each other tacitly.

For a moment, both of them understood who to talk to first.

……

After changing a few bottles of Erguotou to get Yu Bo drunk, Han Li, who was a little drunk and high-flying, came out of the room with fiery eyes.

However, compared to the excited Han Li, Gao Fei was a little embarrassed.

Like many fans of Zhouyi dramas, Gao Fei has always been full of resentment towards those cheap and weird costumes in Zhouyi dramas.

Sometimes Gao Fei even suspects that if the crew directly rents a batch of ready-made ancient costumes from Hengdian and uses them, the final effect may be better than Zhou Yi's own design.

At the beginning, Gao Fei couldn't understand why Zhou Yi did this. He once thought it was caused by Zhou Yi's special aesthetics.

But thinking about it now, why didn't Zhou Yi not want to use the exquisite way of persuasion like Tang Ren?

But after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Although there were many explosions, the boss's repeated actions of drawing blood still left Zhou Yi with no chance to grow up.

But then again, under such circumstances, Zhou Yi can still frequently produce classics, which is no one!

It's a pity that this industry legend is now coming to an end.

After leaving the hotel, Gao Fei and Han Li did not return to Beijing immediately, but first found a hotel in Haikou to live in temporarily.

……

That night, in the hotel suite.

According to the information inquired during the day, Han Li quickly sorted out an acquisition plan.Although she has worked hard all day, she is still full of energy at this moment.

After handing the plan to Gao Fei, Han Li suddenly couldn't help laughing and said with emotion:
"Boss, if we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will never be a second time in this life."

Hearing this, Gao Fei nodded in agreement.

Indeed, who would have thought that the husband and wife who once vowed to each other would want to drag each other to die together now!

If it weren't for Zhou Yi's boss and his wife's attitude that they would rather kill the company together than make it easier for the other party, Gao Fei wouldn't have this opportunity to intervene.

You must know that the domestic costume drama market has been almost dominated by TVB for a long time, with Tang Ren and Zhou Yi three-pointed.

As a result, Hairun and Kim Youngma, who are known as one of the "eight major institutions" of private TV drama companies, often subconsciously avoid the track of costume dramas when setting up projects.

It can be said that if there is no accident, companies like Zhou Yi and Tang Ren are not for sale.

According to Gao Fei's knowledge, with the gradual recovery of the domestic film and television drama market in the past few years, it's not that there are no domestic investors who have offered to buy Tang Ren.

But neither Cai Yinong nor Li Guoli was moved in the slightest.

Because they know in their hearts that in the domestic entertainment industry, having a fund of [-] million yuan and having a film and television company worth [-] million yuan are completely different levels of treatment.

Therefore, money to a certain extent is actually just a number. If there is no support from other social attributes, such a rich person can only be called a local tyrant.

Of course, if someone bought Tang Ren directly at a premium of a hundred times, then Cai Yinong and Li Guoli would probably agree immediately.

After all, judging from Tang Ren's current profitability, even if the two of them worked to death, they might not be able to earn [-] billion.

It's a pity that so far, there seems to be no such fool in China.

……

The next day, according to the plan discussed last night, Gao Fei and Han Li first approached Jiang Xuerou who was in a state of desperation.

Because Zhou Yi's finances and personnel affairs are all under the control of his husband, after tearing up his face, Zhou Yi's daily operations can be said to have come to a complete standstill.

For this reason, when Gao Fei and Han Li appeared in front of her eyes, Jiang Xuerou was very puzzled. After all, they did not announce any new filming plans.

Not to mention the company's next filming plan, even the second-round broadcast rights of "Peacock Ling", Zhou Yi can't care about selling it now.

And once the pirated discs flooded, even if Zhou Yi wanted to sell them at the price of cabbage, no TV station would be willing to take them.

However, Jiang Xuerou is still a big shot in the industry after all, so she has also heard about Gao Fei co-produced a TV series with Tang Ren in the name of a studio.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuerou thought that Gao Fei had the same purpose, so she immediately sighed with tired eyes:
"A Fei, if you want to talk about cooperation, I think you will be disappointed. Zhou Yi has no plans to make a new drama recently."

To Jiang Xuerou's surprise, after listening to her words, Gao Fei couldn't help but didn't leave disappointed, but sat down with a smile on his face.

"Sister Rou, you misunderstood, I didn't come to talk to you about cooperation today."

But seeing him suddenly laughing, looking at his face with doubts, Jiang Xueju said:

"I'm here to talk to you about the acquisition!"

As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Xuerou was exhausted because of the company's affairs, but she still couldn't help standing up in shock.

"Acquisition?"

After murmuring a few times subconsciously, Jiang Xuerou who came back to her senses suddenly blushed and said for some reason:
"A Fei, although Zhou Yi is down and out, it's not something you can buy!"

She couldn't tell where this anger came from, but when Jiang Xuerou heard the word "acquisition", she couldn't help but burst into anger.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei was not surprised.

Because last night he and Han Li had already done various rehearsals for Zhouyi's situation.

According to their speculation, among Zhou Yi's two bosses and the boss's wife, Jiang Xuerou should be the most difficult to solve.

Because she has devoted the most effort to Zhou Yi, it is basically impossible for her to agree to the acquisition plan without great external pressure.

That's why the two decided to deal with Jiang Xuerou first.

Otherwise, if they reached an agreement with Zhou Ping, the boss of Zhou Yi, then Jiang Xuerou, who was under a lot of pressure, would be even less likely to agree to be acquired.

At that time, even if Gao Fei and the others are rich, they can only eat a pot of raw rice.

Facing the furious Jiang Xuerou, Gao Fei didn't move at all. He pointed to the office outside, and then made no secret of the sarcasm on his face, and said with a sneer:
"Whether I am qualified to buy, you will understand later."

"However, Sister Rou, if you really want to be good for Zhou Yi, you should understand that being acquired now is Zhou Yi's only way out."

"Otherwise, the employees outside won't waste time with you two... At most three months, no matter how reluctant they are, they will leave Zhouyi without hesitation."

Having said that, Gao Fei said in an increasingly cold voice:
"When Zhouyi really falls apart, your hard work will really go to waste!"

"I'd rather die with Zhou Yi than sell it to me. Is this what you want to see?"

As Gao Fei's voice fell, each word was like a sharp knife, stabbing Jiang Xuerou's heart.

Immediately, she sat down with a pale face, and she looked a little lost.

Although Gao Fei's words were very blunt, Jiang Xuerou knew in her heart that what he said was indeed true.

If she insisted not to sell, then the final result would indeed be as Gao Fei said, the two of them died together holding the whole Zhouyi.

She has no doubts about this result.

Because before meeting Gao Fei, Jiang Xuerou thought so - she would rather ruin Zhou Yi than let that bastard occupy her brainchild.

That is defilement, a naked defilement!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuerou suddenly felt a little powerless.

So she lowered her head silently, and after quietly wiping a tear from the corner of her eye, she raised her head firmly again, looked directly at Gao Fei and said:
"The company can sell it to you, but I have a request."

Hearing this, both Gao Fei and Han Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But Gao Fei also knew that now was not the time to be happy, so he said straight away without changing his face:

"any request?"

I saw Jiang Xuerou, who had been maintaining her demeanor before, suddenly gritted her teeth from the bottom of her heart and said:

"I want that bastard to get out of Zhouyi completely!"

"He is Zhou Yi's cancer!"

"Never, never, never let Zhou Yi have anything to do with him!"

"make a deal!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately replied solemnly!
