Chapter 413: Infiltrating the Kuiguang Group to Follow Up Report
The same set, the same people. The last time Yang Ruoqian arrived at the set, it was not deserted, but most of the people there were staff members.
The scene was not empty and was well organized, but it was definitely not lively either.
But this time, as soon as Yang Ruoqian got off the car, the space he could move was quickly occupied by a large group of strangers.
Before the car door could even be closed, entertainment reporters, individual actors, and actors with their agents swarmed in.
"Hello, Mr. Yang. I am an artist under Lingguang Entertainment. I have participated in... and have carefully read "The Black Robe Inspection Team". I hope you can give me a chance to audition!"
"Hello, Mr. Yang, I am..."
"Mr. Yang..."
All of a sudden, all kinds of noisy sounds came flooding in, almost giving Yang Ruoqian tinnitus.
However, there were limited spaces around Yang Ruoqian, and some people, seeing that they couldn't squeeze through and couldn't speak, simply turned around and walked to the passenger seat of the sports car, blocking Chang Zhiqing in place.
Anyone who knows something about the Kuiguang Group knows that Chang Zhiqing and Yang Ruoqian have a very good relationship. If there is no way to conquer Yang Ruoqian, one can try to get the boss lady's attention and save the situation in a roundabout way.
There was a lot of noise at the scene, and just when Yang Ruoqian was about to be pushed back into the car by a large group of people, the security staff who had heard the news from afar finally cleared a path through the crowd.
The weather in Jinhai has turned cold in December, but beads of sweat have appeared on the faces of the staff.
The boss didn’t say he was coming in advance!
Otherwise, they would have definitely gone to meet them earlier, and the big boss of Kuiguang Group would not have been surrounded like this and unable to even enter the set.
"Please make way, please make way... Don't disturb Mr. Yang's work. If you have anything to do, please line up at the official business entrance in front. Director An will give everyone a fair chance to compete."
Only then did Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing walk into the set under the guidance of the staff.
Mr. Yang, who had seen many big events along the way, was still a little confused. He turned around and asked Chang Zhiqing, "No, Lingguang Entertainment... I remember this is also a pretty good agency. Do their artists come all the way here to grab extras?"
No matter how obscure or new the actor is, such a big agency can always squeeze out some resources so that the actor doesn't have to fight for even the position of an extra on his own.
Chang Zhiqing also shook her head blankly: "I don't know... My current job is to process the company's own data, and I have long stopped working with artists."
In other words, Chang Zhiqing didn't really connect with the company's artists from the very beginning.
After entering the set, Shang Qianyu, who had rushed over from a distance, took two steps closer and explained proudly, "Boss, boss lady... you don't know now, as long as the five words "Black Robe Inspection Team" are mentioned, it will be a kind of exposure for the artist."
"Even if they play a minor role with no lines or even no appearance, as long as they put a post on their homepage saying they were in "The Boys" and promote it casually, they can attract a lot of traffic."
"Instead of playing supporting roles in some unknown small movies, many people would rather come here to be extras."
Shang Qianyu led the two of them to the studio, talking more excitedly as they walked: "Moreover, many of them don't just want to act in movies, they also want to be noticed by our company."
If his acting skills are recognized by director An Zhou, it would be like taking off whether he joins Chengyu Media or Kuiguang Group.
Even if an artist has an agency, being able to establish cooperation channels is something that many people would love to have.
Anyone can call Kuiguang Group, but this is not a cooperation channel at all.
And Yang Ruoqian now appeared directly on the film set, which was equivalent to the most direct shortcut.
If Yang Ruoqian or Chang Zhiqing could take a fancy to him and recruit him into the company, he would not only be able to ride on the train of Kuiguang Group, but also would not have to start from scratch like other people.
Even if he cannot become the second Shang Qianyu, by operating for a period of time and consolidating his second-tier position in the entertainment industry, it is not completely impossible for him to aspire to a first-tier position.
Compared with the highly professional An Zhou, the standards and requirements of Yang Ruoqian, the boss of Kuiguang Group, are obviously lower.
This is not to say that they think Mr. Yang, who is a big shot in the entertainment industry, has a bad vision, but as a business owner, the most important thing for him is to grasp the market trends and judge whether a work meets market demand, rather than focusing on refining the product.
No wonder people outside are so crazy.
Low requirements, high resource returns...
The scramble for resources in the entertainment industry and the competition among artists are so cruel that no one is willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yang Ruoqian immediately shook his head with amusement: "I see... It's a pity that I don't interfere with the specific affairs of the movie now. They found the wrong person."
Shang Qianyu showed a little regret on his face: "Alas, I still remember that it was the boss who personally made the decision to hire me. Times have changed, and now the boss doesn't care about these things anymore."
It is because I recruited you, the cash cow that can't be dug out, into the company that made me make up my mind not to interfere in these matters anymore, okay! Having one Shang Qianyu in the company is enough! "Alright, alright, let's not talk about the past anymore. Don't you also want to participate in the audition selection? Go quickly, everyone is waiting for you, don't delay your work because of me, I just came here to take a look."
Yang Ruoqian laughed and quickly went to the other side with Chang Zhiqing, and walked around the set casually twice.
Along the way, he never stopped looking at Yang Ruoqian.
"Tsk, you're very popular now? Are you going to be a star too?" Chang Zhiqing joked with a smile.
Yang Ruoqian shrugged his shoulders: "At most, I am a star in the entertainment circle. Many people still don't know who I am when they see me now."
After all, Mr. Yang is not like some bosses who always attend various activities themselves, lead press conferences themselves, and speak intensively on social platforms.
Even though the photos are not a secret, many people outside the circle don't know him because they are not exposed much.
After thinking for a while, Yang Ruoqian added: "Fans like celebrities because they really like them; artists look at me like this because I have resources. There is a fundamental difference."
"It was just a joke, but you really tried to explain it..."
The two of them finished shopping and chatting, then glanced at Cheng Fei who was sitting on the sofa in the VIP room, and walked over tacitly.
After entering the VIP room, Cheng Fei looked up and smiled: "Boss Yang, Boss Chang, you've all seen it, what do you think? This time everyone can work hard, and we all want to break the curse that sequels ruin the previous work."
Destroy it quickly...
"It's OK." Yang Ruoqian said casually, "The filming is still in the early stages, so we can't see anything for now, but everyone is still in good shape."
"I'm still quite confident." Cheng Fei glanced at her phone and said, "You don't know, for this movie, An Zhou is almost turning the company upside down. He wants to invest all his wealth in it."
Mr. Yang, who showed no signs of collapse in "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2", did not want to continue this topic. He noticed Cheng Fei's actions and asked curiously, "What is Mr. Cheng looking at? It seems like he has been looking at it just now?"
Based on my previous understanding of Cheng Fei, she is not someone who likes to often look down at her phone.
Now, in just a few sentences, she looked at it several times, obviously browsing the more important and urgent information.
Cheng Fei looked up strangely, and after three seconds of silence, she asked tentatively: "Boss Yang, isn't this your work?"
Yang Ruoqian was no stranger to this kind of blame falling from the sky. He kept a smile on his face and asked, "What's the trick?"
"Yuefu Group disclosed important information today. A major shareholder started to sell off his shares... As soon as the news came out, Yuefu Group's stock price fell to the limit." Cheng Fei explained, "The major shareholder also released the news through his own channels, hoping to maintain good cooperation with Kuiguang Group after withdrawing from Yuefu Group. Uh, this is really not your work?"
If this sentence had not been said, the stock price of Yuefu Group might not have collapsed so drastically.
Judging from the current trend, today’s limit down is just the beginning. Even in the most optimistic scenario, this limit down will last for at least three rounds.
Yang Ruoqian sighed: "It has nothing to do with me directly... I am not actually interested in the affairs of Yuefu Group."
Not interested...
Cheng Fei grasped the key point in Yang Ruoqian's words: "Boss Yang, does Kuiguang Group have no plans to acquire Yuefu Group's shares or their assets?"
Even a broken ship still has three pounds of nails. Although Yuefu Group is about to fall into decline, it still has many high-quality assets.
Amid panic selling, there is a high probability that the stock price will rebound.
Whether it is taking the opportunity to buy Yuefu Group's high-quality assets or acquiring its shares to complete a partial acquisition of Yuefu Group, now is a good time.
"I heard that Yuefu Group's old rival, Tianyue Group, has already started allocating funds to acquire Yuefu Group's shares." Cheng Fei reminded, "Yuefu Group's assets are not completely worthless."
As one of the former giants in the entertainment industry, Yuefu Group has abundant publicity and promotion resources.
As long as it can take over this part of the "legacy", Chengyu Media can save a lot of trouble.
In order to alleviate the cash flow gap as soon as possible, Yuefu Group has even begun selling its own "artists".
Liquidated damages, transfer fees...
If other agencies want to sign you, just pay them.
For Yuefu Group, he is a small-time artist, but he can be used as a face in many small brokerage companies.
Once the compensation to Kuiguang Group was paid, coupled with a whole year of sluggishness and all the nine-digit investments going to waste, although Yuefu Group did not face a direct debt default, a large-scale sale of assets was inevitable.
Although Yuefu Group has a huge market value, its ability to resist risks is much worse than that of Kuiguang Group.
Cheng Fei’s meaning was very simple - perhaps the Kuiguang Group could take a look at whether there are any artists under the Yuefu Group that are worth signing, and take the opportunity to poach them.
"Let's forget about it." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand, "We and Yuefu are actually on two different paths."
"Okay." Cheng Fei nodded, "I'll just see how many resources I can dig over there."
After saying this, Cheng Fei paused for a moment and said in a joking tone: "Congratulations, Mr. Yang, congratulations on replacing Yuefu Group and officially becoming a giant enterprise in the entertainment industry."
"It's too early to say that now. There's actually no definition of a giant or not. It doesn't matter." Yang Ruoqian looked at his situation with some sadness and sighed, "I'm not going public anyway. Status and other things are also promoted by others. They don't have much practical significance."
Cheng Fei put down her phone and said nothing more, "Boss Yang, your annual meeting is about to start, right?"
"Yes." Yang Ruoqian said, "Is President Cheng free to show me his face this year?"
Last year, as the most important partner, Cheng Fei attended the annual meeting, and this year Yang Ruoqian sent an invitation as usual.
"You must be free." Cheng Fei said with a smile, "You don't know, since I attended your annual meeting last time, some employees in our company want to switch to your company. I'm curious about what big moves you will make this year."
"Don't worry, it will definitely be better than last time."
“…”
…
Just as the two were chatting and the artists on the set were working hard for their own future, not far from the headquarters of Kuiguang Group, at Qianda Plaza, an outdoor female anchor with a camera hanging around her neck strode over.
Under the curious gazes of some bystanders, she switched the camera lens to her mobile phone, raised the selfie stick, and said openly: "Good afternoon, brothers. I have prepared a tough job. Can you see where I am?"
At this moment, her phone was swiping barrages of comments frantically.
"Where are you, sister? I'm here to play with you!"
"This place... looks so familiar. I must have seen it before."
"No need to guess, this is the Qianda Plaza next to the Kuiguang Group headquarters. Why is the anchor here? Is he trying to sign a contract with the Kuiguang Group?"
"The anchor seems to be dreaming in broad daylight, hahaha!"
The female anchor showed resentment on her face: "I'm not here to apply for a job. Isn't the Kuiguang Group going to hold an annual meeting soon? I'm here to investigate! Aren't you curious about what they will do at the annual meeting? Besides, why don't I have any hope of being hired by them?"
"I heard that they have booked a lot of venues on the day of the annual meeting. I'll see if I can sneak in and have some fun then."
The group now has a large number of people, with nearly 2,000 employees in various industries, but compared with the customer capacity of a shopping mall, it is still a drop in the bucket, so the annual meeting of the Kuiguang Group was not completely closed in the initial stage.
Instead, employees are given consumption coupons, and they can use the coupons to travel wherever they want to travel, and buy whatever they want.
The restaurant also reserved part of its space instead of closing completely to only accommodate the small number of people from the Kuiguang Group.
The lottery stage will be closed later.
"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. I'll check out the area first. I'll officially start reporting on it the day after tomorrow. Everyone, remember the room number xxxxxxxxx, don't get lost..."
