Chapter 907 Premonition
Li Zhibai's idea is certainly correct.
However, many people know this principle but cannot put it into practice.
Lu Yanhe hadn't expected that Li Zhibai could be so consistent in his words and deeds.
“Actually, they know in their hearts that they are not nouveau riche,” Li Zhibai said. “They are all seasoned veterans who have cultivated themselves in other places. They can’t be like greenhorns here. Once they understand the market and get in touch with those people, they will naturally know what to do. At most, their foundation is not stable, and it is difficult to start. But who is like that? With me here, I have already given them a shortcut to overtake others.”
"Will you outsource your future production projects to your family company?"
“We’ll definitely have to work with them on one or two more projects,” Li Zhibai said. “At least, otherwise I feel like they’ll be completely fooled. This industry is all about storytelling, and they’re used to dealing with the media. They’re all too good at conning people. After all, it’s my family’s company, so I can’t just watch them fall into the trap. I’ll have to guide them through it.”
"Then you—" Lu Yanhe didn't finish his sentence, but Li Zhibai already understood what he meant. Li Zhibai said, "I was originally considering whether Su Yang and I should get involved in my family's company, but after thinking about it for a while, I think it's better to forget it. I still want to open my own studio, and it's better for my agency contract to remain independent. I was originally planning to open a production company with Su Yang, but let's put that on hold for now."
Lu Yanhe said, "I don't think we need to decide to put it aside so quickly. You and Lin Suyang are going to start a production company, which seems like you're going to compete with your family's company. But in reality, the production company you and Lin Suyang are starting will also need financing. You definitely can't make it work with your own funds. Why not just raise funds directly from your family and let them invest? Of course, the decision-making power of the company will still remain in your hands. Just give them shares, and to the outside world, it will still be an industry under your family."
Li Zhibai: "I'm just too lazy to get involved with them."
Lu Yanhe said, "If you really can't be bothered to get involved, you don't even want to collaborate with them or help them with one or two projects. Besides, are you really planning to collaborate with them in your personal capacity?"
Li Zhibai shook his head, "Lin Suyang and I have already registered a production company to facilitate cooperation on other projects. It has nothing to do with my family. It's just a company in name only and doesn't actually operate. Of course, I don't need to cooperate with my family's company in my personal capacity. Suyang is not only my agent now, but he also participates in some of my film and television projects as a producer, taking charge of some more specific matters."
“Fine, whatever else, at least don’t take your own agency contract to your family company. That’s the right thing to do,” Lu Yanhe said. “You need to maintain some independence so that you don’t end up being used by some people to exchange resources with other capital. After all, it’s your family company. You say it’s difficult for us to deal with Yin Xincheng, but it will only be more difficult for you and your family.”
Among interpersonal relationships, the most complex and difficult to approach rationally are those with family members.
In family relationships, a refined person can turn into a demon, reason can be shattered, and emotions can boil over as if swept by a tornado.
Li Zhi was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he finally let out a soft groan.
Lu Yanhe laughed.

The next day, back in China.
Yan Liang drove himself to Yin Xincheng's wedding.
Having worked together for so many years and filmed so many seasons, Yan Liang and Yin Xincheng have naturally become friends long ago.
Yan Liang is in the country, and he has to try his best to coordinate his time even when he doesn't have any, let alone when he has free time.
Although Yan Liang himself wasn't really looking forward to the wedding.
It came too suddenly, catching us completely off guard.
The most awkward thing is that Zhan Yun, one of the other five members of "Friends," definitely won't be coming.
Wen Minglan couldn't come because she had work to do.
Only he and Bai Jin participated.
When a group that should be fully present in the eyes of the public is missing a few members, it is often not the absent members who face the dilemma of "absence" that are present.
Yan Liang had arranged to meet Bai Jin in the parking lot beforehand, and then they would go in together.
If there's anything awkward, the two of them can face it together, so they won't be isolated and helpless.
They even made the call from the car before they arrived.
"If we get cornered by paparazzi, they'll definitely ask Zhan Yun if she'll be attending."
"Attend my foot!" Bai Jin said. "We've broken up, why would I attend my ex's wedding?"
"The next question is, will Zhan Yun be unhappy if we attend Yin Xincheng's wedding? Between Yin Xincheng and Zhan Yun, who are we closer to? When did Yin Xincheng and Huang Yunlan get together, and what is our relationship with Huang Yunlan...?"
Bai Jin seemed even more anxious than Yan Liang, speaking one sentence after another without giving Yan Liang a chance to speak.
"Damn it!" Bai Jin suddenly realized something and cursed, "I'm still Zhan Yun's friend. I'm going to get cursed to death. How could you attend your best friend's ex-boyfriend's wedding?!"
"Because you are also good friends with your best friend's ex-boyfriend."
"If I said that, I'd get even more flak, believe me?"
"Forget it," Yan Liang sighed. "What's the point of talking about this now? We're already here."
Bai Jin: "Right now, my mind is filled with the urge to turn around."
Yan Liang: "Although, well, I feel about the same way as you."
“If it weren’t for the fact that it was just the two of us going, and it would be too cruel for me to run away and leave you alone, I would definitely turn back,” Bai Jin said. “That guy Yin Xincheng! Doesn’t he ever have a single period? Since I’ve known him until now, he hasn’t had a single month of being single.”
Yan Liang remained silent.
Bai Jin: "Speaking of which, Yan Liang, you're not going to suddenly tell us one day that you're getting married, are you? Don't do these kinds of surprises, please give us some time to prepare."
Yan Liang was both amused and exasperated: "What does this have to do with me? I'm single."
Bai Jin said, "Who knows? I'm full of prejudice against you men now."
You can't generalize and condemn all people based on one example.
Bai Jin suddenly said sarcastically, "But Yan Liang, let me tell you, I've had a premonition all this time."
What premonition?
"This is not the last time I will attend Yin Xincheng's wedding."
"..."
-
I updated too little yesterday. I was really sick. I went to bed so early yesterday, but I couldn't get up this morning. I didn't even hear my alarm and was late.
I wrote a bit at noon and am posting it now.
There will be more tonight.
