China Entertainment 1997

"cheers!"

At the "Wandering Earth" celebration banquet, Cao Xuan took the lead in raising a glass, and everyone laughed and celebrated the success of "The Wandering Earth".

The total box office is 6.1 billion!

The first Chinese-language film with a box office of 6 billion+ RMB!

Ranked first in Chinese film history!

Reaching the Top 50 of the global box office list!

The second Chinese-language film to enter the top 100 global box office charts!

No matter which achievement it is, it is enough to record in the history of Chinese-language films and is also a major breakthrough for Fanxing itself.

Yesterday’s hot searches on Weibo also explained everything. As of now, six of the top ten box office movies in mainland China were produced by Fanxing.

The first-ranked "The Wandering Earth", the second-ranked "Wolf Warrior 2", and the third-ranked "Operation Red Sea" are all produced by Fanxing Master Control.

Although the fourth-ranked "Detective Chinatown 2" is controlled by director Chen Sicheng, Fanxing is one of the important producers, occupying 40% of the share, and is even the only one to enjoy the IP copyright of this film.

In other words, the stars could well determine the future of this project.

"Mermaid" ranked fifth is similar to "Detective Chinatown", and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" ranked seventh is also produced by Fanxing.

The remaining films include only the sixth-ranked "Fast and Furious 8", the ninth-ranked "Fast and Furious 7", the eighth-ranked "Monster Hunt" and the tenth-ranked "Avengers 3" without Fanxing's participation.

Putting aside the three Hollywood movies, there is only one "Monster Hunt" that is technically a non-Star production.

Among the three more Chinese-language films, only "Ghost Blowing the Lamp 1" + "Crazy Alien" + "Shameful Iron Fist" can be regarded as the works of Fanxing.

So Boss Cao's power in the entertainment industry is no joke, he really dominates everything.

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that the surname is Cao in the entertainment industry, but to describe it as half of the country makes Boss Cao a little aggrieved.

Even overseas media are surprised by Cao Xuan's status in China's entertainment industry.

The names of [Chinese Film Emperor], [Chinese Film Tycoon], and [Film and Television Tycoon] were constantly thrown at him, and he even claimed that Fanxing was the collection of the six Hollywood giants in China. Some people in China expressed the hope that the official would come forward. Strictly investigate Fanxing’s monopolistic behavior.

But the key point is that Fanxing does not have a monopoly. Strength is always strong. The industrial chain is also very powerful, but there are competitors in every aspect.

Movies include Huayi, Guangguang, and Bona; TV series and variety shows include Huace, Huanrui, Ciwen, and major major TV platforms; online video websites include iQiyi and Youku; film and television cities include Hengdian; theaters include Wanda...

It can be said that Fanxing has strong competitors in every industry, and even some do not have an absolute advantage.

But if you can't stand up to your opponent, you won't be able to live up to it. You can't beat them head-on. Coupled with the strong overall strength and outstanding performance, Fanxing can't limit its own strength and tie up its hands and feet to compete with others.

So Fanxing may have monopoly behavior, but monopoly is definitely a slander.

If this is really considered, the situation of several certain movies is much more serious than that of Fanxing.

Cao Xuan didn't care about some mosquito bites. Companies such as Penguin and Box Games had not been encountered before. It was a big deal to cooperate and integrate some independent businesses. It didn't hurt.

No matter where you sit or what you say, until you reach this point, the stars are like a snowball getting bigger and bigger. Even Cao Xuan himself can't stop it even if he wants to.

At present, the headquarters of Fanxing Group, its major sectors, and major branches and subsidiaries have at least tens of thousands of employees. The total number of people who depend on Fanxing for food is even greater. Only by maintaining the strength of Fanxing can everyone have food and meat to eat. .

Don't say that Boss Cao doesn't want to quit. Even if he wants to quit, the people below him won't be able to quit, and even the people above him don't want him to quit.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a company of Fanxing's level were to fall apart, the Chinese entertainment industry and related industries would be directly destroyed, and even the entertainment industry in Asia and around the world would be shaken to a certain extent.

After all, although the overall strength of the entertainment industry is not strong, and even Fanxing is not as big as Boss Xu and his family in Guangzhou, its soft power and comprehensive influence are too great.

With the current situation, if Boss Cao and Fanxing are gone, the entertainment industry will be exported by Hollywood, Japan and South Korea without any room for resistance.

This kind of consequence is something that many people cannot predict and bear...

………

No matter how much you say, it's all unfounded worries. At least Fanxing is still celebrating and having fun now.

"Today's C position is Director Guo. Without him, "The Wandering Earth" would not be what it is today. Let's toast Director Guo and thank him for his hard work."

Cao Xuan took the lead in toasting, and the lead singer and Fanxing executives also toasted to Guo Fan with smiles on their faces.

Guo Fan was a little flattered and refused again and again before drinking at Cao Xuan's persuasion and then hurriedly returned the favor.

"Teacher Cao's respect to me just now is really deserved. The biggest contributor to the crew has always been Teacher Cao. With Teacher Cao's support, "The Wandering Earth" can be so successful. It should be us who respect you."

"Okay, let's have a drink together. Let's not talk about business. Anyway, thank everyone for their dedication and efforts, and then we can move around freely."

Cao Xuan was very annoyed by the rules of toasting in circles. He couldn't eat well or drink wine. He never did this when he organized a game.

Thank a few key people, and then summarize the speeches and points. Everyone has a drink together, and then you can honor whoever you want to honor. Chat face to face and privately, so as not to delay other people.

From this aspect, Cao Xuan personally prefers Western-style self-service cocktail parties, which are relaxed and free.

However, many times, this kind of celebration banquet is unavoidable, so both Western and Chinese styles have to be used, and Cao Xuan can only be considerate.

As soon as free activities were announced here, Boss Cao chatted with several creatives, bumped into several executives, and then immediately left.

There is no way, in this situation, he is the C position of the C position. If he doesn't run, he will be respected to death, so under normal circumstances, he will choose the opportunity to run away, wait until the end, then show up to wrap up, or even go home directly. Others take their place.

When Cao Xuan wanted to run away, no one would dare to stop him, especially in this situation within Fanxing. Everyone knew his habits.

But he can run, but the other protagonist Guo Fan cannot run.

"The Wandering Earth" broke 6 billion, ranking first in film history. Director Guo Fan is in the limelight, and everyone wants to get to know him.

If someone wants to come over and make friends, Guo Fan can't run away with an excuse.

Apart from other things, any one of these star-studded senior executives at the same table is a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. People value him, but he doesn't dare to offend others.

Other screenwriters, directors, artists and some friends from the entertainment industry who came to the celebration party were happy to associate with Guo Fan, and he could not treat them coldly.

Maybe one day everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate, and he has just started to gain momentum, which is the time to build a reputation.

If someone is neglected, it will be spread that he is a big-name person and has a reputation for being ambitious.

Guo Fan welcomed guests from all over the world with a smile, drank with friends from all over the world, and was already ready to go out in bed.

Don't think he's miserable, to a certain extent this is one of his most glorious moments. Countless people have come to get to know and flatter him, including some popular celebrities and powerful people in the industry. Most people don't get this kind of treatment.

Cao Xuan felt bored and Guo Fan was overwhelmed, but many people in the corner were envious of them and secretly swore that a real man should be like this...

Star Building, Office

As soon as Cao Xuan slipped up, before the tea was brewed, the Empress of the East Palace also ran over and looked at him with a look of disgust.

"You smell like alcohol, go and wash up quickly."

"I just drank two or three ounces of wine."

Cao Xuan yelled, and looked at Hu Jing suspiciously: "You didn't drink?"

"The wine in my wine dispenser has been prepared in advance. I don't want to get drunk."

The Empress of the East Palace looked proud. The celebration banquet was held inside Fanxing Building. She wanted to do something, but she couldn't be too relaxed, and no one dared to check her wine.

Cao Xuan understood, and no one dared to check his wine, but after all, he was the center of attention, and there was too much attention. It would not look good if he was caught doing this, so he drank it all.

From the perspective of the rules in the wine shop, the Donggong Empress's routine is very immoral and even despised by others.

She was just his own woman, so Boss Cao doted on her and even thought Hu Jing was very smart for doing so.

He is a bit of a chauvinist at heart and doesn't like Dongxi Ergong drinking outside. It doesn't hurt everyone's face and is safe.

"If you are found out, push me and say I am petty and won't let you drink."

Cao Xuan didn't want Hu Jing to be said to be unreliable, so he found a reason for him, and the Empress of the East Palace gave him a blank look.

"I've thought too much. How many times have I encountered this kind of situation? And I always use red wine and juice on important occasions. As a woman, I have your face, so no one will criticize me."

Hu Jing said this, but she was still very happy with Cao Xuan's arrangement, and she crawled into his arms.

It's interesting to say that both of them are in their forties, but in private Hu Jing and Cao Xuan still have the same attitude of being passionate about their children, and they usually fight and mess around, and Cao Xuan is willing to cooperate with her.

On the other hand, the Empress of the West Palace pays more attention to her image. She and Cao Xuan are more like a respectful couple, but behind closed doors, many things cannot be explained to outsiders.

………

Forty minutes later, Hu Jing went to the bathroom to take a shower. Cao Xuan was lying on the bed in the office bedroom and called the senior executive in charge of celebrating the union.

"I have something to do temporarily. I'll go home first. You can take charge over there and apologize to everyone on my behalf."

After hanging up the phone, Hu Jing came out wearing a bathrobe and complained to him: "I'll go back and find someone to take a look. I always feel that the water is not too hot."

"Okay, I'll tell Hu Ya."

"Silly, Hu Ya is going to Europe for her honeymoon. How can she have time to repair your water heater?"

Cao Xuan suddenly realized: "That's right, Hu Ya has taken a wedding leave, who can I give birth to..."

He hadn't been to the company for a long time, but he couldn't remember the names of some of the secretarial staff. Hu Jing rolled her eyes at him.

"Forget it, I'll make the arrangements."

Cao Xuan hugged the Empress of the East Palace and blew her hair with a hair dryer. He also chatted about his assistant Hu Ya just now.

"Hu Ya got married. I was so busy that I didn't go to congratulate her. How much red envelope did you give me? It's not easy after you have been with me for more than 20 years."

"Don't worry about me doing things, 666,666 + a mini BMW."

Cao Xuan nodded. Hu Ya was the first employee to join Fanxing. She was considered a veteran of the company to a certain extent. Moreover, she was a close friend who had been with him for more than 20 years, so she was naturally different from ordinary people.

The heavier red envelope was a token of their gratitude to her for her years of hard work. If she hadn't been free during the Chinese New Year, Cao Xuan would have even planned to go there to congratulate her in person.

Among all the stars, there was only one Zhang Chong who had this qualification.

There was a vice president-level executive getting married for the second time. Cao Xuan only recorded a video and had no plans to leave.

"Hu Ya must be over forty this year."

"Yes, she is about the same age as us. This is her first marriage, so she blames you."

"Why do you blame me?"

Cao Xuan looked confused, and the Empress of the East Palace pinched him: "Are you pretending to be stupid? If you hadn't been showing off in front of others every day, her mate selection standards would have been so high."

"Where is this?"

Cao Xuan was aggrieved, but Hu Jing settled a score with him. Hu Ya was an old man in the company and had been an informant for the Empress of the East Palace. Her position was relatively sensitive, so Hu Jing knew her better.

Perhaps Cao Xuan himself stands too high. In my impression, Hu Ya has always been that silly little girl. She is serious and responsible at work and harmless to humans and animals in private.

But in fact, Hu Ya is currently serving as the deputy director of the administrative department, and is considered a senior executive in Fanxing. Moreover, since she is responsible for Cao Xuan's administrative team and has direct access to the imperial court, her status ratio is even more aloof.

There are hundreds of employees in the direct team and the administrative department that can be managed indirectly. She is an absolute strong woman.

In addition, Hu Ya is a veteran employee. Not only does she have a good annual salary, she is also one of the rare management members who can receive dividends, with an annual income of at least 3 million+.

More importantly, she followed Cao Xuan. Although she was not as close as Zhang Chong, she could often hear some information.

Among other things, this girl started investing in real estate in 2006, and later bought stocks such as Penguin, JD.com, and Baidu.

Even Hu Jing doesn't know exactly how much money she has now, but she heard that there are nearly 10 houses within the fifth ring road of Beijing alone.

With a net worth of hundreds of millions, an annual salary of several million, and being a senior executive of a large group, and more importantly, following a legend like Cao Xuan every day, how could he have low expectations.

"Hu Ya is not the kind of independent woman who doesn't want to get married. She told me that she wanted to get married when she was in her 20s, but she couldn't find the right one.

There are very few people with good conditions in all aspects, but she always compares herself with you unconsciously, and then immediately goes on to compare her with you, delaying getting married until she is in her forties. Do you think she blames you or not? "

Cao Xuan: "..."

How can he say that it's his own fault for being too good?

But what he was more curious about was who was the one who captured Hu Ya in the end. Hu Jing was obviously done with the gossip and shared it enthusiastically.

"A doctor from Union Hospital, a returnee from overseas, with a doctoral degree. At the age of 35, he is the deputy chief physician of a tertiary hospital in Beijing. He has been divorced once, but has no children."

"Divorced."

Aiwujiwu, from the perspective of his mother's family, Cao Xuan is a bit picky. In his opinion, although this guy's conditions are not bad, he is on a higher level than Hu Yalai.

"I heard that Hu Ya met her when she took her mother to see a doctor. I looked at the photo, and her eyebrows and eyebrows look three-quarters like yours. She's very handsome."

Hu Jing added another sentence, and Cao Xuan, who originally wanted to continue finishing the attack, swallowed his words and nodded.

"It's a perfect match this time."

Empress of the East Palace: "..."

He finally knew where his son and daughter had inherited their confidence.

Cao Xuan was still very interested in the older leftover women in the company. Except for Hu Ya, he specifically inquired about the female artists in the company.

However, there was not much feedback from Hu Jing, and she was basically still single. After all, the past two years were a prosperous time, and everyone was busy making money and building careers, and had no time to fall in love.

The same is true for male artists. Talented artists fall in love and get married normally, and male idols are more self-sufficient than the other. Boss Cao even wonders if the artist management department has given them some blood.

Both Cao Xuan and the Empress of the East Palace felt very uncomfortable. It was okay if the others had no melons to eat. They were guarding the melon fields, so why could they just stare...
