Chapter 26
Mr. Liang knows very well that the current Su'ning is not the same as before.
On the surface, he was still very polite and offered some comfort, but looking at the expressions of Shen Huai and Jiang Chenfeng, he felt something was not right, so he did not stay there any longer and turned around and left.
Liang Xiaoliang felt that this trip was the right one.
What mattered was whether to beat someone or not, even Shen Huai's withdrawal from the show and the scandal that was making a big fuss on the Internet were not a big deal. After all, it was just a kiss on the forehead. But this attitude was terrifying when you thought about it carefully.
Liang Xiaoliang knew very well who Shen Huai was.
This person is the most pretentious. No matter where he goes, he will never let go of his so-called gentle appearance. But now he has been forced to the point where he can't even pretend anymore. The gloomy look on his face is as if black water is dripping out.
Liang Xiaoliang was not just gossiping, that was just a trivial personal hobby. The reason why he didn't take the gossip to heart after the first stage ended, but hurriedly said hello to his trainees and rushed here, was that he obviously smelled the scent of impending storm.
It's like a shark smelling blood.
The relationship between Guangying Entertainment and Shen's Pictures has indeed become bad. Shen Huai definitely has some plan. He can be sure that this will shake the entire Haicheng circle, and naturally it will also affect Guijiang, which is not far from Haicheng, to some extent.
Companies in the entertainment industry have always had their own small circles based on their regions.
Qilin Company develops in Guijiang. It is not only at the top of the idol industry, but also a hegemon in the entire Guijiang circle. It has the final say and its position is unshakable. Huiguan, which is not far away, has a peak economy with artist management as its main business, but the circle in Haicheng is a multi-powerful situation. Mr. Liang has been paying close attention to the situation in Haicheng.
At the beginning, Guangying Entertainment and Shen's Pictures were old companies. The two companies joined forces and have always been the top companies in the Haicheng circle.
However, many companies have grown and developed in recent years, mainly because Haicheng issued a policy favoring the entertainment industry five years ago, and large-scale film and television cities, stadiums for large-scale concerts and related supporting bases around the city were also announced to be completed.
The shooting location used by Ou Tu Si now was part of the cultural and entertainment base at that time. Therefore, the entertainment department that Jianghai Media has focused on developing and rapidly expanded in recent years, as well as several branches or subsidiaries of industry leaders and several newly established medium-sized companies with good momentum have settled here. For example, Orange Video, which is broadcast by Ou Si, is a subsidiary of a giant Internet company.
The status of this small circle in Haicheng is getting higher and higher, but at the same time, the competition between the new and old forces is becoming increasingly fierce.
Two years ago, after the death of Mr. Su, the changes in the Haicheng circle were even greater, and it could even be said that they were earth-shaking.
Guangying Entertainment has made a lot of investments in the past two years. It is not entirely correct to say that it was purely blind. The territory is so small that it is impossible not to fight for it. However, this cannot reverse the decline, but instead accelerates the company's collapse.
Although Shen's Pictures has a big tree to back it up, the main branch of the Shen family dominates the capital, and most of Shen Ting's family is in a situation of managing themselves. Even if they have their own son as a top star to whitewash the situation, have the investments of Shen's Pictures in recent years been successful?
I'm afraid not.
If Guangying Entertainment was gradually hollowed out by many small and messy investments, like being eaten away by insects bit by bit, and everyone knew it, then Shen's Pictures was hollowed out by failed large investments, and it was hidden very well.
But Liang Xiaoliang knew that his connections and information sources were unmatched by ordinary people. For example, after Shen's Films spent a huge amount of money to move to a new building two years ago, two big movies with a cost of more than 500 million yuan failed, but outsiders could not see it.
Shen's Pictures is buying box office revenue from ghost theaters and boasting about how much the global copyright has been sold, as if it has not lost any money at all. For example, Mr. Shen Ting appears to be frugal and lives a simple life, but in fact he loves expensive art. In the past two years, he anonymously bought paintings at auctions and spent hundreds of millions of dollars at a time.
It is said that Guangying Entertainment is finished and Shen's Films is very rich, but it is not necessarily true. In the past two years, the industry has cracked down on high pay, and Shen Huai's income has been cut in half. In addition, in many cases, in order to grab resources, he also brought money into the group, and it is hard to say how much money he can get back. Shen Huai is known as the national male god, but he has also had his works fail.
Besides, Shen Ting's ability is actually average, and he is even a little blindly confident like Su Hongda. The real strong person is the old president Su. Many of the previous investments were made with his unique vision, which allowed the two companies to make a lot of money together.
Liang Xiaoliang had always believed that even a broken ship still had three thousand nails left, and Shen's Pictures still had the Shen family as a big tree. These two old companies would be able to hold on for another three to five years. But now, the situation is more serious than he thought.
The evidence is Shen Huai, who is now almost hysterical.
He had started to inexplicably interfere in many things of Guangying Entertainment, and even began to persecute the trainees under Guangying Entertainment. As for the scandal that was heavily searched only on Langbo last night, many media on other platforms were reluctant to do so at first, but later became fearless.
Now when he opened his phone, he saw that the discussion was already raging and undisguised.
Liang Xiaoliang asked several acquaintances last night. They were hesitant at first, but later told the truth - they didn't give any money.
Shen's Pictures has been delaying payment for a long time.
Established companies are being squeezed out of their living environment. For such a large enterprise, just running it is already a huge expense, and perhaps it has really reached the point where it is struggling to survive.
If you can't find food to survive from the outside, you can only turn to your companions.
Not to mention, Shen Huai also has a natural advantage - that engagement and the large inheritance that the old president left in his estate.
Shen Huai wanted the inheritance very badly.
So even if it was really Su Ning who beat him, he would insist on saying "I fell down myself" in front of Jiang Chenfeng.
His relationship with Su Ning cannot be broken at this time.
But the old Mr. Su had blocked the identity of the "heir" of Shen's Pictures, which meant that he could not get the money just by quickly marrying Su Ning. What's more, Su Hongda had tried to stop him, so he had to use some roundabout means.
From this perspective, this was a premeditated attempt to siege and block Guangying Entertainment.
The only thing that can break a person's disguise is lack of money.
If Shen Huai had enough confidence, how could he be so disgraceful? And how could it turn out like this?
What can be confirmed with Liang Xiaoliang’s many clues is that the Shen family’s main family has never given Shen Huai the status of the heir to Shen’s Pictures.
Obviously, Shen Huai is Shen Ting's only son. Logically, there is no one else except him. Moreover, Shen Ting has publicly said countless times in the past year that he is old and wants to retire to the second line, but without the approval of his family, he cannot make the decision on such a big matter.
Generally speaking, if Shen's Pictures operates normally, the Shen family in the capital is too lazy to care, unless something really goes wrong, and the family already doesn't trust Shen Ting very much.
The more Liang Xiaoliang thought about it, the clearer it became. Especially now that Shen Huai was standing with Jiang Chenfeng, they were probably thinking of joining forces to force Guangying Entertainment, which had made so many mistakes, into a desperate situation.
Maybe they will use other people's names to acquire shares next, because the messy shareholders of Guangying Entertainment are also very unstable, and then gradually swallow up the company.
Shen Huai can also pretend with Su Ning and make Su Hongda, the coal boss who is even desperate, trust only himself in times of crisis. The Su family will be like fish on the chopping board. When Shen's Pictures alleviates part of the crisis by eating its former partners, Shen Huai can use this real "achievement" to prove his ability to solve problems to his family and get the title of heir.
Don’t mention it, Mr. Shen does have this preference.
You know, many copyrights in light and shadow entertainment are very valuable. If you can get them into your own hands during the chaos, it will be of great significance. Putting aside the moral aspect, this ability to "turn the tide" is indeed impressive.
If the Shen family really approves of this approach, Shen Huai will get the title of heir to Shen's Film Company, and there are many ways to get the money in the inheritance into his own hands. Then he can split the money with Jianghai Media, and everyone will be happy.
When Liang Xiaoliang thought of this, he had roughly grasped the truth.
He is indeed very professional, and can even see the big picture from the small details to a certain extent. It can be said that what happened in the previous life was roughly like this. The perceptive man thought one step further - the appearance of Mr. Shen from the capital was very subtle.
What does Shen Mingzheng want to do at this critical moment?
You know, he didn't bring any large sum of money from the Shen family. In this case, if Shen's Pictures wants to be saved, isn't it hoping to erode the inheritance of Guangying Entertainment and the old president?
This is the simplest and almost the only way.
Even if Shen Mingzheng was the one to handle it, he was not a god and it was impossible for him to conjure up so much money all at once.
Does Su Ning know all these things?
Does Su Ning know that he is like a fish on a chopping board?
Liang Xiaoliang was thinking as he walked, and his heart was pounding with fear.
Even though he had been in the industry for many years, he had rarely seen such things. Until he walked backstage, he saw Su Ning had just sent Li Chu into the interview room. He was about to speak when he saw Shen Mingzheng standing next to him.
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
Because the two people seemed to be having a good conversation.
Mr. Shen has always been cold and aloof, but he is very close to Su Ning. There are many people backstage and the noise is loud, so the two people have to get closer to each other to hear each other clearly, but it is extremely rare for them to be so close.
When Liang Xiaoliang approached, he could hear their conversation.
"I was in a hurry to go out this morning and forgot to pick someone up. I should have brought the coat back to you," Su Ning said, "I can only give it to you next time."
"It's okay, you keep it."
"My clothes don't quite fit me," Su Ning said with a smile, "Mr. Shen's clothes are one size bigger than mine."
Shen Mingzheng glanced at him up and down, as if he was really seriously judging his figure, and replied "Got it", and then asked: "Can I take you home today? It just so happens that we can talk in the car..."
It was clearly a friendly conversation, but Liang Xiaoliang stepped forward and interrupted him as if he had seen a horror movie.
"Su Ning, I have something to talk to you about," he said, "Come here! Quickly!"
I got a little anxious at the end of the conversation.
Su Ning was a little confused when he saw his attitude: "What's wrong?"
Liang Xiaoliang opened his mouth, but couldn't say it directly, so he finally said solemnly: "I'll treat you to a meal, hurry up."
"Great," Su Ning smiled, "but I have to send, um, my assistant back first."
He was referring to Chow Chun-ching.
At this time, he still cared about his assistant. How could he be so cruel? Liang Xiaoliang was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down.
"I'll have my people send a car to take your assistant back," he went up and directly pulled Su Ning away, "Hurry up! I've already reserved a seat."
Su Ning couldn't persuade him, so he followed him. Before leaving, he politely said goodbye to Shen Mingzheng. Shen Mingzheng also reminded him to be careful on the way. It seemed that they were really cooperative, so their relationship became more and more harmonious.
Chen Tao thought that Liang Xiaoliang's hurried and defensive look was not right, so he came over and asked, "What is Mr. Liang going to do?"
Shen Mingzheng's face was calm: "It's okay, they have something to say."
After a pause, he added, "If you need to prepare coats in the car in the future, prepare two smaller sizes."
Chen Tao: "Ah? Oh, I see."
At this moment, he adhered to the working qualities of an excellent right-hand man and did not ask any more questions.
Anyway, it means to prepare it in case someone needs it later.
Here, Su Ning and Liang Xiaoliang quickly sat down in a private room of a restaurant. Liang Xiaoliang, who had discovered the big secret, told Su Ning all his guesses.
"...To be honest, I'd be lying if I said I had good intentions when I told you this," Liang Xiaoliang said. After he finished talking about all these speculations, sweat was already breaking out on his forehead. "From Qilin's perspective, if there's a big upheaval in the Haicheng community, it won't do us any good, especially if we let this kind of person become powerful. I'm afraid that Qilin will attract attention sooner or later."
Apart from anything else, Liang Xiaoliang had a conflict with Jianghai Media. Langbo has often collected "protection fees" from celebrities recently, or deliberately allowed rumors to spread. This was all made up by Jiang Chenfeng. As for Shen Huai, he is not a good person either.
If the Haicheng entertainment industry is controlled by these two in the future, it will be over.
No matter what Su Ning does, he and Qilin are here for cooperation, which is beneficial to both sides. Otherwise, Liang Xiaoliang would not voluntarily participate in this program.
Judging from today's stage, he watched Li Chu's performance in its entirety and was convinced. Su Ning at least wouldn't do the kind of crap that is not presentable, and he knows how to focus on practical things.
Putting these aside, Liang Xiaoliang actually has a little selfish motive.
After he came into contact with Su Ning, he felt that this person was very similar to himself, decisive and opinionated, and he really valued talent.
After he finished speaking, the waiter came in to serve the dishes. The two of them fell into silence. Then Su Ning served him the dishes like last time. He did not speak until the waiter left: "I am very grateful to you for telling me this, no matter what the reason is."
Liang Xiaoliang is a very good partner and he is quite capable of most things. After all, he has been in the industry for so many years.
For Su Ning, he always cherishes the kindness shown to him, even if most of it is for personal gain.
"Since you told me this, I won't hide it from you," Su Ning said, "I already know these things. Mr. Shen Mingzheng told me before you did. You are right about some things, but some things may not be true."
In Liang Xiaoliang's surprised eyes, he continued: "Moreover, Mr. Shen made a very interesting and special proposal for cooperation."
Su Ning is not stupid, he is not ignorant.
He knew from the beginning that Guangying Entertainment was acquired by Shen's Pictures in the original book, and that Shen Huai had some plans and interfered too much in Guangying Entertainment. He had already seen it when they met before the press conference.
He later checked and found that the small shareholder who proposed to buy votes had an abnormal connection with Shen Huai. Even many shareholders had already established connections with Shen Huai, including Mr. Ma Yima who wanted to steal the credit.
According to the original owner's recollection, when Shen's Pictures was booming, Shen Huai actually didn't think much of him and was only gentle on the surface. Otherwise, the two would have been married long ago and would not have dragged on until now.
Now that his father is dead, Su Hongda selfishly doesn't want Su Ning to get so much inheritance at once, so he obstructs the love-brained original owner's proposal. As a result, Shen Huai's attitude has become even better recently, almost obedient. This is obviously wrong. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
Afterwards, he saw some more signs of the cooperation between Shen Huai and Jiang Chenfeng. You know, when Shen's Pictures was on the rise, Shen Huai would never look down on people like Jiang Chenfeng.
During Qilin's performance, in a brief conversation between two people backstage, Shen Mingzheng confirmed his guess and connected all the things together, allowing Su Ning to roughly grasp the truth.
What surprised Su Ning even more was that Shen Mingzheng was also behind the cyber trial last night.
Mr. Shen is definitely not just an occasional investor.
Shen Mingzheng formally proposed a deeper cooperation proposal after Su Ning beat Shen Huai and voted in the replacement match for Li Chu to step down and tell the truth. The other party found him again and asked a few questions.
He glanced at Li Chu, who had already gathered his emotions and was ready for the interview, and asked Su Ning in a low voice: "Can you tell me the truth?"
Su Ning: "Of course you can."
He was prepared, but he was still stunned when he heard Shen Mingzheng's questions.
"Su Ning, I want to know, what do you think of Li Chu? Do you feel guilty for what you did to him before and want to make it up to him? Or do you think he is really pitiful?"
"Why is it worth it for you to sacrifice so much for him?"
