Entertainment industry.

It is a place that is constantly changing and full of surprises.

Some people become famous overnight, from obscurity to household names, and some people stand at the top, but suddenly fall because of some things...

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front of them, and the waves in front of them hit the beach.

This sentence is really suitable for the entertainment industry.

Throughout 2003, the sales of all kinds of physical albums have begun to decline, while the network traffic is getting more and more fierce day by day...

Even a fool knows that in the future the Internet will gradually replace the physical world. This is an inevitable trend.

Just like rock and roll used to be!

Although……

It is possible that someone like Wang Hao may be popular for a while, but it is basically impossible for him to form an era.

Many big companies have sensed this and started trying to cultivate young and handsome guys. The era of traffic is also the era of appearance. As an artist, it doesn’t matter if your acting skills are poor or your singing is average. As long as you are pretty and handsome enough, there will always be someone who will pay for your appearance!

The trend of the face-watching era is becoming more and more obvious!

These companies provide them with various channels for exposure and give them the resources they deserve!

At first, the effect was quite good. All the young idols had a large number of crazy fans, both male and female. These fans were crazy. As long as it was a movie made by their idols, they would buy tickets to support it. Even if the movie was terrible, they would still support it...

At least the premiere box office won’t be too bad!

2003 should have been the time when the young handsome guys were fighting each other.

But……

After all, 2003 was no longer the year dominated by young and handsome men.

The imagined era of traffic has indeed slowly arrived, but it is not the era of young and handsome men.

In 2003, when the traffic stars were just beginning to emerge, the young and handsome guys did not really become a phenomenon. Instead, Lu Yuan frantically dominated the headlines and various news information in the entertainment industry, suppressing the young and handsome guys for a whole year...

Any movie starring young actors who compete against Lu Yuan is basically doomed!

In 2004, the trend of the Internet traffic era has become increasingly obvious.

Although Lu Yuan is still bombarding the headlines after two months of silence, many companies are also cultivating their own young talents, hoping to get a piece of the pie in this upcoming era.

We may not be able to be the protagonist of this era, but at least we cannot be a bystander of this era.

This is the thinking of most entertainment companies.

Of course, the same is true for Joaquin.

The Joaquin Conference Room is brightly lit at night.

"As for the album, Wei Lai is also about to release one, and Han Lu's movie will be released in more than a month, so we need to start preparing for the promotion of this movie... and Juno's album will be released together with Zhao Xiaohan from 'Remote'. We need to save some face with this album..."

"Okay, I understand."

"Then, the plan for the second half of the year is this..."

"Um……"

"Yes, I know."

“…”

In the conference room.

After Xu Cancan arranged all of Joaquin's work, she quietly watched everyone leave.

She has been sitting and browsing all kinds of news and hot topics on the Internet...

Although "Dream Travelers" was a success at the box office and had good revenue, Joaquin's popularity among the public was severely damaged due to the "box office theft" incident.

At this time, Joaquin needs to make some adjustments to his reputation, and at the same time needs to achieve some results to stabilize some of the temporary unstable situations.

Based on some past analyses, Xu Cancan understood that Tianyu was actually the most insidious one hiding in the dark.

Although he is the boss of the entire Chinese entertainment industry, he is also the most shrewd and calculating.

"Lu Yuan...is this your era?" Xu Cancan rubbed his temples. After seeing Lu Yuan's shameless advertisement in front of the camera, he sighed slightly.

She did not think that Lu Yuan was a shameless person. Instead, she felt that Lu Yuan was officially announcing that his company was no longer that unknown shell company!

At the same time, he also announced his own layout and ambitions.

He has never been content with such small fights, and has never been satisfied with headlines or traffic...

Maybe everything is just a means for him.

No need to doubt it!

He really joined the battle!

He wants to become the master and controller of this new era!

"But it's still a bit hasty and premature for you to announce it now."

"By doing this, you will undoubtedly be at odds with most companies in the entertainment industry."

"Your time has not come yet! Your 'remote' foundation is really not enough. You can experience failure, but your company cannot experience a real failure!"

"Unless...you..." Xu Cancan closed her eyes.

You can always win!

Xu Cancan added this sentence in her heart.

…

After the noise comes calm.

However, there is a hint of turbulence hidden in the calm.

Many things have gradually begun to become chaotic.

Lu Yuan didn't know why, but his left eye kept twitching.

Then, not long after, he received a call from Hollywood, saying that Huaxin was having a hard time there.

Even using the word "difficult" is not an exaggeration.

During these two days, the tax bureau and various local Hollywood units came to the company every now and then to investigate and collect evidence. At the same time, there were often many gangsters coming to the vicinity of the company to cause trouble, shouting and looking for trouble.

Someone reported that Huaxin Brothers Company evaded taxes, someone else reported that the company abused minors, someone else reported that…

After it was revealed that the company "Huaxin Brothers" belonged to Lu Yuan, countless negative news and information came one after another from all sides.

At the same time, a series of calls for a boycott and ban of Lu Yuan began to appear on the Internet. Even several theaters that once cooperated with the "Huaxin" brothers announced that they would no longer cooperate with the "Huaxin" company.

All of this pushed Huaxin into an abyss from which it could not escape.

After listening to Forrest's complaint, Lu Yuan fell silent.

Of course, he wasn't surprised.

He knew it was inevitable.

In a sense, Hollywood is indeed xenophobic. Chinese artists are sometimes bullied in Hollywood, let alone a small company with Chinese people behind the scenes.

The negative news brought about by the exposure is actually very scary. Although Lu Yuan is not clear about many things, there are definitely many monsters and demons.

The "Huaxin" brothers are too weak, as weak as an ant. If they are excluded by the eight major Hollywood entertainment companies together, life will be very uncomfortable.

This directly affects many things.

evening.

Lu Yuan received another call from Hollywood.

"Boss... they are checking our company's accounts again, and now they come to us once a day... At this rate, our company really can't bear their 'visits'..." Forrest's voice sounded haggard, with a hint of indescribable fatigue: "The formation of the crew of "The Legend of 1900" has been delayed... Filming in Hollywood may not be realistic... Even if the filming is completed, we want to release it in theaters, but I'm afraid they will make things difficult for us... After all, we are too weak!"

"Forrest, is the situation over there just that bad now?"

"Ah?" Forrest was stunned when he heard it was so bad.

He didn't understand.

“It’s just that most of the theaters have announced that they will not cooperate with us, and so many people are coming in and out?”

"yes."

"Is their ultimate goal to shut down our company?"

"Well, it stops us from making movies and makes it impossible for us to survive in Hollywood... Let's get out of Hollywood!"

“Are there any theaters that support us?”

"It was there yesterday, but not today. Maybe they were warned by other companies..."

"Oh, Forrest, I understand. Just have a good sleep tonight. These are just trivial matters."

"Ah? This... Boss, do you have a solution..."

"have."

"oh."

Is there a way?

In fact, Lu Yuan lied.

Lu Yuan actually had no idea what the solution was.

Hollywood itself is a behemoth. It can survive in China because it has its own advantages in its home country, but its foundation in Hollywood is too weak.

How is it possible to compete with such a huge monster?

James, what about the so-called friendly relations in Andorra?

These relationships are completely useless at this time. After all, no matter how famous they are, they are still part of Hollywood.

When most of Hollywood excludes a small company, then this small company will definitely not be able to bear it.

Of course, although Lu Yuan lied to Forrest, he was not panicked at all, and he didn't even feel a bit sad or uncomfortable.

His mentality was surprisingly very good, even inexplicably calm.

What's the worst possible outcome for Hollywood?

It's because the company in Hollywood went bankrupt.

What's the bankruptcy?

Is it a big loss for Lu Yuan?

In fact, if you calculate carefully, the loss is not that big.

Anyway, there are only about ten people in the Hollywood company. If they can follow us, let them come to China to develop first. If they don’t come, it’s up to you.

Not a big problem...

etc!

You said the market in Hollywood is a pity?

If we don’t work in the entertainment industry anymore, can we not work in other industries?

You can always make a living in the takeaway and restaurant business, right?

What a big deal!

Doesn't Hollywood allow me to open a restaurant? Will I destroy my own restaurant?

They are the Pacific Police, do they have such broad jurisdiction?

Is it not earning money?

And if you want to make me bankrupt, I will do it immediately. At worst, I can try again and register a new company to continue.

It’s not a big deal.

It's mainly a problem with the cinema...

That is a problem.

Forget it, let’s talk about tomorrow’s things tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan looked at some information, then yawned and walked towards the bedroom on the third floor to have a good sleep.

Just at this moment, Wang Jinxue came down.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"I heard something happened in Hollywood..."

"It's just a small matter." Lu Yuan yawned again and waved his hand: "We'll talk about it tomorrow..."

Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan's back silently.

Lu Yuan...

I am always the kind of person who holds on.

Even under such great pressure, he still acts as if he doesn't care.

…

early morning.

"Jinxue..."

"What's wrong?"

"It seems like running a cinema chain is quite profitable."

"What do you want to do?"

"I didn't plan to do anything, I just...well, I just wanted to get some information about the cinema...I suddenly realized that your cinema doesn't have a branch in Hollywood..."

"No... the cinema chain was just built not long ago, and it's not considered a first-tier cinema chain in China. How could it be possible to build a branch in Hollywood? Moreover, many things are not adapted to the local environment and have no foundation. It's not easy to run a cinema chain..."

"Oh oh oh oh." Lu Yuan nodded suddenly.

"Lu Yuan, what bad ideas are you up to again? Don't even think about stealing my dad's girl!"

"Fuck, who do you think I am? Am I so shameless?!"

“…”
