The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 151 The End of the Year: The Premiere is Coming

Tan Xin, don’t worry about it.

Xiao Xiao has also been involved in Tianrui for several years. He has been praised and suppressed at times. He can see many things clearly and will not accept Xu Hao's kindness. He has a clear heart.

After all, if he could compromise, Tan Xin would have compromised when Tian Rui was suppressed and would not have led to a stalemate.

This woman has self-control.

……

The screening and promotion of Xinhua Road is in an orderly manner. The two teams, one in the south and one in the north, gradually cover multiple cities. Although it will not run for a full month, it is enough.

Propaganda is enough, after all, both the lead actor and director are famous and popular with the crazy series.

The official release won't be bad.

Jiang Bo followed Fang Mo in the northern section, and Liang Xuan and Zhou Mo followed. There wasn't much trouble, at least there was no knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Liang Xuan knew Fang Mo's temperament, and Zhou Mo was shy in his debut, or maybe not. If you want to take shortcuts, be honest.

Such people are also smart people.

Generally speaking, it is not good to be too proactive. Even if there are unspoken rules, the producer or director must speak secretly. Unless you want to fight for opportunities, there is no need.

Another point is that Zhou Mo is also a newcomer that the company wants to promote, so there is a connection behind it.

There is no shortage of resources and no extra inserts.

With the screening promotion, the plot discussion and movie viewing popularity of Heart of the Road gradually increased. The film "Fist" was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year and was the most popular movie at the box office. Two or three other equally popular movies followed closely behind, even if the publicity The attack was very high, but not quite enough.

Even if the starring role is famous, the special effects and the gimmick of a blockbuster drama are still a little bit worse.

The explosion of the crazy stone and the racing car, under this momentum, Fang Mo has no opponent, it depends on whether Xinhua Lufang can still succeed, the explosion will explode.

How popular can it be in terms of word-of-mouth or box office?

And Fang Mo was not idle while running the screening promotion. The Starry Sky animation section was gradually improved. The content of the first ten episodes of Bear Haunted has been determined. Under the leadership of Liu Ting, the scripts and storyboards were given. The image design is very important. Fang Mo is here, but it is the easiest to handle.

Generally speaking, the painting and modeling of animated characters must be finalized at least dozens of times, or even adjusted hundreds of times before finalization. Only with the basic modeling image can the eyes be happy, angry, sad, happy, sad, joyful, etc.

The basic modeling image usually cannot be finalized within a few months. As long as there are flaws that are not recognized, it will be modified or redone, which is the most troublesome thing.

But now, Fang Mo provided a rough framework, and Liu Ting's team only made a few fill-ins and modifications before it was OK.

It's incredible, it's perfect.

This saves a lot of time. Bear, Big Bear, Er Bald Qiang, and several other animal images appear one by one according to the plot, which seems to be very good.

Anyway, this is how Liu Ting feels, and she doesn't think animations for young children are brainless or boring.

The plot is funny and educational.

There is hope for the theatrical version to be released in the future.

……

"It's almost the end of the month."

The Xinhua Road screenings were promoted around the middle of the month, and now half a month has passed and it is almost the end of the month. However, Jiaoyang Animation has not yet attracted investment, and the lease date for the equipment is coming soon. The rent and wages are still in arrears. It can be said that the situation is about to be exhausted, or Bankruptcy is imminent.

It's real bankruptcy.

The main equipment of the studio is rented. This cannot be sold and one cent cannot be recovered.

I can exchange some money for other office desks, chairs, or computer equipment, but it is not enough for employees’ wages. The quarterly deposit for rent has already been used up. By the end of this month, the real rent arrears will be three months. The landlord’s limit is that he will not pay after the year anyway. Directly lock the door and sublet.

If Jiaoyang hadn't been renting here for five or six years, the landlord wouldn't be so kind.

"Lao Zhan, I'm dragging you down."

Xu Feng sighed. It had only been more than a month since he met Fang Mo, but he seemed to have aged ten years.

There are animated film projects in hand, and it’s not that I have no willingness to invest at all. It’s just that they are too cheap, or they are directly transferred and sold, and Jiao Yang will no longer produce them.

As for investing in Jiaoyang Studio, there is really no chance of this because the environment in the animation industry is very bad.

A studio that can survive will not be short of people, and a studio that is short of people, money, and projects will not be able to survive. This is an endless cycle, and it is not easy to fool around these days.

Unlike previous years, we just packaged the projects in hand, described the market prospects, and it was all done.

Now it seems that the most sincere one is Fang Mo's Xingkong, which is packaged and purchased at a high price.

However, the opportunity was completely missed.

"I'm fine."

Zhan Yi shook his head, "At any rate, Liu Ting has gone to Starry Sky, and the team has been set up. She will officially start doing animation after the new year. At least she has a stable job and income. I can still persist, but I can't hold on in the hot sun. It's okay to be single." , It’s difficult for those with families.”

"There are also equipment leases that are about to expire, venue rentals and unpaid wages. What should I do?"

"There's no money left anywhere."

Xu Feng remained silent, indeed.

His girlfriend split up, and the house he bought before was also being repaid with a second mortgage at the same time. His relatives and friends had all borrowed what they could, but they couldn't borrow anymore.

The same is true here in Zhanyi. Both the house loan and the second mortgage are still being repaid, and it is also very stressful to have no money.

Fortunately, Liu Ting went to Xingkong, and the salary for leading the team was not low, so she could barely survive.

"Starting a business is really miserable until the end."

Xu Feng lamented that in the beginning they also worked for people, with good skills and high wages. After accumulating capital, they jointly founded Jiaoyang Animation. The series animation did not have much success at the beginning. They all made some money, but the good times did not last long. This has been the case for the whole year, and we have lost money.

Even if the house is sold this time, it won't be enough to fill the hole, and we can really go back to before liberation.

The mountains and rivers are exhausted and there is no way out. It's miserable.

……

"How can I speak?"

It was night, and Liu Ting looked embarrassed.

"I didn't want to go when I had the chance. Now Xingkong has almost recruited people. I can't say. Besides, besides Xingkong, I can go to other places."

Zhan Yi also knew that Liu Ting was in trouble, not to find a way out for herself, but for existing employees.

The last time he resigned and was transferred to another company, Jiaoyang still had about 20 people left, and Jiaoyang was about to go bankrupt. He had to try to find a way out for everyone.

But there's no better place to go now.

And not all 20 people go to the Starry Sky. Some people are too embarrassed to go and naturally look for other studios, while some have no goal and want to see the Starry Sky.

"Just ask."

Zhan Yi sighed, "It's a sign of mercy that we have been able to survive until now. Both I and the employees have worked hard, but even a penny can stump a hero. There is no hope."

"I can find a job in other companies, so I'm not in a hurry. I have to arrange the employees well."

Hearing this, Liu Ting frowned.

"You can also bring people."

"If you go alone, you will be assigned an ordinary position at most. If you go with a few people, you can also be given a supervisor to assist in production. Are you stupid or stupid?"

"Don't say you can't let go of face." Self-esteem and face are somewhat difficult to let go. Of course, it's not the main reason. It's just that I'm really tired.

You need to be free for a while.

"If you don't repay the loan, you won't have children?"

Liu Ting frowned again, "The salary Xingkong gave me is not low. I won't see the project bonus for a while. If you completely give up on this home, do you still want it? You have to pay back the mortgage, the second mortgage, and more." Save money to have a baby, are you really going to put me at high risk?"

"I will be 35 in a few years. Pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy. We must give birth within three years."

"Do you want a divorce or what?"

The more she talked, the angrier Liu Ting became. Although her family was very difficult, she had no intention of divorce. After all, Zhan Yi had a good character and the relationship between husband and wife was good. They would support each other through the difficulties and the future would be better. But now her husband wants to be completely divorced. The mentality is not good.

With management experience and technical skills, it would not be humiliating to take a few people to other studios.

The same goes for Xu Feng. It doesn't mean that Jiaoyang will not be able to survive if it goes bankrupt, and he can still work part-time.

It is completely feasible for two people to take half of the people.

You know, the employees who are still working in Jiaoyang Animation are all old employees who have feelings for Jiaoyang and are not lacking in abilities. It’s just that the project is not good, the plot and selling points are not good, and there is no problem if the technology is in place.

It doesn't matter if Jiaoyang goes bankrupt. The three founders take about 10 employees to different studios. They can have food to eat, and they can eat well.

Even if the studios Xu Feng or Zhan Yi went to were not as good as Liu Ting's current starry sky.

But giving a supervisory position is not unreasonable at all.

As an adult, you cannot be selfish and willful.

Xu Feng was fine with being alone after being broken up, but Zhan Yi was not. He had a wife and a family, and he had to continue to be strong even if he encountered setbacks. It was nonsense to want to be a salty fish.

This is tantamount to not wanting to be responsible and not taking responsibility.

……

In the end, Liu Ting still did not express her husband Zhan Yi's thoughts silently. Xingkong didn't give him a chance. It was better for both parties not to speak up and avoid embarrassment.

After all, Liu Ting is working for Fang Mo now. If she really opens her mouth, Xingkong won't affect her relationship.

If so, it may not be the original intention.

Therefore, it is best not to speak up. It is not that Zhan Yi and Xu Feng have no other way out. Even if they are least able to work as ordinary employees, they can still make a living. However, their self-esteem cannot accept the blow to their entrepreneurial failure.

If you are still mature in your 20s and still have the time capital to be willful and decadent, you are already over 30. If you don’t think about yourself and your family, you can’t be decadent.

Xu Feng can't handle it if he's single, but at least he can't if Zhan Yi has a family. If he's really decadent, then bye bye.

If you have no responsibility or responsibility, why should you keep it?

"Well, keep improving."

On this day, Fang Mo had a video call with Jinding Cai Wenhu to discuss the settlement matters one by one, including equity ratio and investment of capital resources, as well as personnel reduction and position exchange, etc., all of which needed to be discussed.

At the end of the year, Jinding will lay off some people, and they will be compensated according to the law according to their positions and years of experience. The money is not much, and there is no need to have conflicts and lawsuits with the people who are going to be laid off. It is easy to get together and leave, and to leave a good reputation, unlike others. The company does not lay off employees, but forces them to quit.

Of course, Jinding can do the same.

There are many ways to recruit employees who are about to be laid off, such as reassigning employees, putting on small shoes, making mistakes at work, etc.

But it's not necessary. Fang Mo has repeatedly told him how much compensation should be paid. Compared with the income that Jinding can make in the future, the compensation is a drop in the bucket.

The company's image and reputation must be good.

All matters related to layoffs and job reassignments will be put in place before the end of the year, and construction will begin after the year before Mo officially moves in.

The preliminary agreement has been signed, and Fang Mo will not return. The specific move-in and press conference will be held at a later date when Jinding will start construction.

To promote the road show for the release of Heart Flower Road, Fang Mo's original plan was to run away for a week.

The two teams merged into one, like a stone racing car, led by Xiong Bin to continue running, while Fang Mo returned to Hangzhou to rest.

In the past, I was busy writing new scripts, but this time I will be dealing with the matter of settling in Jinding, the Starry Sky animation section, and a real estate personal assistant, etc., so I am even busier.

Fang Mo has already said hello to Qi Dong's best friend and asked her to join a real estate agency to learn the process.

Since you want to train to be a real estate personal assistant, you don't have to know everything. You must have a clear understanding of all aspects of buying and selling, and you can't be blind.

After becoming a full-time real estate assistant, you have to go to first-tier cities in China to run real estate listings, buy houses and invest.

The real estate insurance plan is launched.

……

February 1, New Year's Eve.

Last night, the screening promotion for the last stop in the north and south ended, and we took a night flight directly to Hangzhou to meet up.

There will be no screenings on New Year's Eve, but a premiere on January 1st, right in Hangzhou, so Fang Mo and Xiong Bin are happy to go home.

The other leading actors, as long as they can make it before tomorrow's premiere, can go home to spend New Year's Eve without getting in the way.

At worst, New Year's Eve is over and you can take a flight back to Hangzhou in the middle of the night, as long as you arrive before the premiere.

Tan Xue followed Xiong Bin's team back to Hangzhou.

However, although Fang Mo also came back, he settled in Xitingbiefu. He couldn't find this girl without staying in the hotel. He had no interest in going back to Shanghai. He could just play by himself on New Year's Eve.

Xiong Bin is going back to his hometown, which is not far from Hangzhou. There will be no delay before the premiere on the first day of the new year tomorrow.

As for Fang Mo, it was simple. Although he had an unpleasant incident last time, he still had to go to his old house with Qin Zisu. The New Year's Eve dinner was not easy to cause conflicts.

The Mu family approves of Fang Mo very much. Even if grandpa doesn't approve, it doesn't matter. He is qualified to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

Besides, Fang Mo has no father or mother. If he still bullied her during the New Year's Eve dinner, grandpa would have gone too far.

At the same time, Fang Mo also received news that Ouyang Jun's family would not interfere. They had their own relatives and family in Hangzhou, and they had their own food for the New Year's Eve dinner.

This is good, Grandpa can't mess with it.

However, Ouyang Jun and Qin Hongluan haven't completely separated yet, which is quite surprising. According to Qin Zisu, it usually doesn't take more than two weeks to finish. It's been two months and they haven't finished yet, which proves that there is something real.

At least Qin Hongluan didn't find a suitable excuse to refuse, and Ouyang Jun was also very patient. Even though Qin Hongluan said he wouldn't have children, he still didn't give up.

"Uh, it shouldn't be."

Fang Mo frowned. Last night he went directly back to his flat and did not go to Qin Zisu's house.

After waking up naturally, it was almost lunch time and I went to Qin Hongluan’s house to have lunch before going to the old city.

Let’s go have New Year’s Eve dinner together in the evening.

Qin Hongluan was busy in the kitchen, while Qin Zisu chatted with Fang Mo. The two of them called each other from time to time and didn't talk much. They mainly talked about their aunt Qin Hongluan.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Fang Mo whispered, "Dr. Qin is beautiful and has a successful career. Needless to say, Ouyang Jun is not bad either. He doesn't give up even if he doesn't have children after getting married. There is something fishy about him."

"Either Ouyang Jun is a DINK, or he has children abroad, or he is greedy for beauty."

"Sister Su, we have to investigate."
