Because of an accident, Wei Yang and Dead Girl, the old enemies who have been fighting since 2009, inexplicably became comrades in the same theater chain.
They have a common enemy - Huanrui Century.
Anyone who has some knowledge of the entertainment industry in later generations will not ignore the name Huanrui, which can be described as a traffic-generating machine and a wholesaler of ancient idol dramas.
Stars such as Li Xfeng, Yang Yang, Ren Jialun, Cheng Yi, and Yang Zi, to a certain extent, are from Huanrui, or have played a key role.
The number of celebrities and actors it has collaborated with is countless. Taking the 85 flowers as an example, basically all of them have worked with Huanrui.
Here I would like to talk about the development of this company. The boss of Huanrui is surnamed Chen and the boss’s wife is surnamed Zhong. Like Zhou Yi, they are a husband and wife team.
The couple started out in real estate in Singapore and later began to get involved in film and television investment. In 2006, they established Zhejiang Sanhe Film and Television, which is the predecessor of Huanrui Century.
The development of Sanhe Company was actually all thanks to Si Yatou. After Si Yatou became the screenwriter and even the producer, many of the dramas she produced, such as "Rouge Snow", "The Big Maid", "Palace Lock Heart Jade", etc., were all invested by Sanhe.
In the words of the dead girl, he conquered the world together with [Hunan Economic TV] and [Zhejiang Sanhe].
Hunan Economic TV is a state-owned company under the Hunan TV Station. The model is roughly that Sanhe invests, Si Yatou produces, Hunan TV Station distributes and broadcasts, and then the money is divided according to shares.
In 2011, "Palace" became a huge hit, and the dead girl dominated the industry. Sanhe also made a lot of money and was officially reorganized into Huanrui Century.
Unlike Si Yatou, which is only concerned with making and selling dramas and promoting celebrities, and is more like a family workshop, Huanrui's ambitions are much greater.
Sanhe's transformation into Huanrui is to raise money through listing, capital operation, and become bigger and stronger...
At this time, Huanrui began to consciously attract and recruit some celebrity shareholders, such as Jia Nailiang, He Shengming, Du Chun, Ming Dao, Ruby Lin and other artists.
If Wei Yang had not intervened, Da Mimi would have been recruited by them, and Tang Yan would have rejected Tangren and joined Huanrui.
And this is precisely the crux of the conflict between Huanrui and Wei Yang.
Tang Yan is fine. She was born in Chengtian TV and became famous thanks to Tangren TV. Then she became close to KT and Anhui TV, and collaborated on works such as "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family".
At this moment in her previous life, Tang Yan had hesitated between Tangren and Huanrui, and even collaborated with Tangren on "Xuan-Yuan Sword", but ultimately chose Huanrui.
Rumor has it that because Da Mimi and Tang Yan were very close at the time, it is difficult to say whether Tang Yan’s choice was due to Da Mimi.
But the situation is different now. In "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family", Tang Yan consciously began to get closer to Wei Yang, and then she completely jumped on the big ship of Blue Whale and returned to the Shanghai circle.
Not long ago, she officially joined Coral Entertainment under Wei Yang and became a leading artist. From the beginning to the end, she had nothing to do with Huanrui.
Because of Tang Yan's resume, everyone knows that she is Boss Wei's direct descendant. Huanrui does not care about her as much as in her previous life, and instead focuses on the public relations of Da Mimi.
Different from Tang Yan, who joined Blue Whale very early on, Da Mimi is a real multi-tasker.
There is no need to mention the lawsuit between Rong Xinda and Tangren. Although she joined Meiya later, she became famous to a large extent thanks to Huanrui.
Huanrui has made great efforts in the representative work "Palace", the later "Painted Skin 2", and the soon-to-be-released "Tiny Times", and can be said to have given strong support.
As mentioned before, Huanrui is not doing charity. They were determined to get Da Mimi and even gave her a small portion of shares.
Everyone in Huanrui thought that Da Mimi was definitely one of them.
Then Da Mimi brought up some old stories about Tangren, publicly registered her studio under the name of Coral Entertainment, and obtained the resources of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
The most infuriating thing is that Yang Tianzhen still vowed to film "Zhu Xian" and let Da Mimi play Bi Yao, but the copyright of this book is in the hands of Huanrui.
This is really too much! They have been using me for free for several years, and they are still thinking about our own flagship project.
Is there still law? Is there still humanity?
Huanrui also has a temper. They intended to retaliate against Wei Yang and poached three or four core behind-the-scenes personnel from Blue Whale. The most important thing is that they finally persuaded Lin Gengxin.
As mentioned before, Lin Gengxin was poached by Huayi and Huanrui and was semi-hidden by Wei Yang.
Boss Wei's attitude was very firm. He said you can leave, but the penalty will be sufficient. You can follow whoever you want.
Lin Gengxin's liquidated damages are not a small amount! In his previous life, he ran away from Tangren and never played a leading role. The only role he could really show off was the Fourteenth Master in "Scarlet Heart", and his termination fee was only 2 million.
Since he joined Blue Whale, he has starred in two hit dramas, "Hello, Old Time" and "Chef Fang in Flowers", and has also participated in popular projects such as "Startling by Each Step" and "Joy of Life".
From an amateur in school to a popular young actor, one can imagine the resources and efforts he invested.
In addition, Blue Whale has also secured some endorsements and business opportunities for him, and if he wants to terminate the contract, he will have to pay certain financial compensation.
Blue Whale added up all the prices and finally proposed a penalty of 20 million.
This price is not low. You have to know that it is only 2013 now, and the termination fee for many celebrities is only around a few million.
However, it is far from a dead end, because the salaries of celebrities are soaring. Even with all kinds of tricks and deductions, the remaining money is enough for celebrities to become wealthy.
20 million doesn’t seem low now. In two years, it is very likely that one movie will make it back.
The premise is that Lin Gengxin can still maintain his current popularity and status...
But that is in the future. Lin Gengxin himself cannot come up with 20 million now.
His current income is not low, with a minimum of 200,000 yuan for a film, and 300,000 yuan is not difficult. But the key is that he has not been famous for too long, and he still has to pay shares to the company and taxes, as well as various other expenses. How can he save so much money?
To put it bluntly, Wei Yang actually intended to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and it was also a deliberate punishment.
He was really sad and angry about the "betrayal" of this junior fellow student whom he had made famous.
Of course, it also implies a hint of retention. If he can't leave, then he can work normally. Wei Yang can earn back the 20 million from him, and everyone can part ways in peace.
The matter had come to a standstill. Lin could not afford the 20 million yuan, nor was he willing to pay it.
After all, Blue Whale is not bad to him, and the prospects are good. At worst, he can just admit defeat and behave himself for two years. Wei Yang will not deny him a chance. There is no need for him to escape from the "devil's cave" at such a high cost.
Huayi and Huanrui also have some concerns about the price. It’s not that they can’t afford it, but they are concerned about whether it is worth it.
If it's Qiao Zhenyu, there's no doubt about it, because he can definitely make the money back, and people like Rouba and Nazha who have high commercial value and popularity are also worth considering.
But the problem is that although Lin Gengxin has advantages, they are not so obvious. With the 20 million, it would be better for him to train others himself and avoid offending Wei Yang.
Now, Huanrui’s defense has been broken, and the two options of cost-effectiveness and offending people have been directly abandoned.
He was just trying to poach people. He didn't make any money himself, but he wanted to disgust Wei Yang.
However, perhaps because of his old friendship or because he did not want to offend Wei Yang to death, Lin Gengxin did not agree to go to court with his old employer.
In late April, with the help of Huanrui, Lin Gengxin paid the penalty and announced his departure from Blue Whale. On the same day, he officially announced his joining Huanrui Century.
At this point, although there was a lot of tension between the two sides, it had not yet reached the point of a falling out.
But perhaps he feels that the 20 million is a bit of a loss, and simply poaching people is not enough to vent his anger.
Jiang Sanshi, vice president of Huanrui and head of the agency, directly mentioned Wei Yang by name during an interview.
"...20 million yuan in liquidated damages is unprecedented in the industry. It's rare for a fellow apprentice to be so black-hearted..."
This statement angered Lei Chun, vice president of Blue Whale, who responded directly on Weibo, recounting the training and efforts he had made for Lin Gengxin, and spoke frankly.
"...They keep talking about big stars and big productions, but in fact, they are just borrowing chickens to lay eggs. They can't lay eggs themselves, and they think the eggs raised by others are too expensive. If they can't afford it, don't dig them. They are just villains who stir up discord behind people's backs..."
These words successfully broke Jiang Sanshi's defense and also made the Huanrui couple very angry.
Good fellow, we are being criticized for poaching, but why don’t you say anything about your own poaching? So the two sides started a verbal battle, and from the Lin Gengxin incident, it finally led to the Da Mimi lawsuit.
Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!
Da Mimi clarified on Weibo that she and Huanrui have never had any written or various agreements, and she has been an artist of Meiya from the beginning to the end.
Afterwards, Da Mimi simply withdrew her shares from Huanrui in the name of her studio and announced that she was no longer a shareholder of Huanrui, which seemed to mean that she had cut off all ties with the company.
Lian Wei Yang also said in an interview that he and Da Mimi decided to cooperate after knowing that Huanrui contacted Lin Gengxin.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning was obvious. To win over Da Mimi was to take revenge on Huanrui...
By now, the situation outside has basically been cleared up. Blue Whale has lost Lin Gengxin and several key members, and Da Mimi, who was regarded as a sure thing by Huanrui, has joined Wei Yang.
Both sides had their wins and losses, but Wei Yang had the upper hand overall! And at this moment, Blue Whale and Huanrui officially broke up, and both sides began to launch various targeted measures.
They tried every possible means, including poaching, throwing dirty water, digging up negative information, and tripping people up. At this moment, the dead girl became the decisive factor.
As mentioned before, Huanrui’s rise is inseparable from the contribution of Si Yatou, but Si Yatou is not a member of Huanrui. His personal studio and Huanrui have always been in a cooperative relationship.
When Huanrui was reorganized before, it offered a lot of shares to attract celebrities, but the key partner, Si Yatou, was not on the list of shareholders.
Outsiders are not sure whether Huanrui is preparing to kick the dead girl out or the dead girl does not want to be inferior to others.
But what is certain is that from this moment on, the relationship between the two sides changed from close strategic partners to something playful and distant.
Huanrui’s predecessor, Sanhe, was previously just a simple film and television investment company, with all film and television production being done by its own company.
Now Huanrui has transformed into a formal entertainment company. It not only promotes artists, but also shoots new dramas. However, shooting new dramas requires a mature production team.
When forming this production team, Huanrui had its eyes on Si Yatou's team from the very beginning.
As early as last year, the producer of Dead Girl, Lin Guohua, left him and joined Huanrui, and the studio's artist director also joined Huanrui shortly afterwards.
Li Yalin, the screenwriter brought up by Dead Girl, is still hooking up with Huanrui after falling out with Dead Girl.
A few days ago, the dead girl was beaten, and Li Yalin made a sharp comment: "It is expected, and it is not shameful for her."
With many of her core and backbone subordinates being poached, it would be strange if the dead girl didn't have any ideas. In her previous life, in the next two years, the two sides completely parted ways.
The dead girl later established Huanyu, which may have been intended to compete with Huanrui.
Later, in response to a comment from a netizen who believed that he was from Huanrui, the dead girl replied arrogantly: "I set up the framework for the couple... I am their ancestor."
The dead girl had not gotten angry before because of various concerns. Huanrui was quite powerful and had been his financial sponsor, so he was afraid of a fallout and retaliation.
But when Huanrui and Blue Whale came into conflict, Wuxia ignored him, and that dead girl got excited. After a key member was poached, he wrote a "manifesto" against Huanrui on Weibo.
As a senior screenwriter, Si Yatou is very good at setting up characters in stories. In her "manifesto", she tells the story of herself and Huanrui half-truthfully and half-falsely.
The general meaning is about the growth of a small screenwriter and two wealthy "fans". One provides money and the other provides effort, and both of them build their own empire.
Later, when his career became bigger, his fans turned against him, became ungrateful, betrayed their friendship, kicked the screenwriter away, poached his fans, and created negative news about him.
The screenwriter felt so aggrieved and wanted to endure it and part ways amicably, but he didn't expect the other party to be so aggressive, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
Oh my god! The fate of the dead girl shocked all the onlookers, including Huanrui and Blue Whale, who were fighting fiercely.
Even Wei Yang was a little confused.
Because compared to the conflict with Huanrui, Si Yatou and Wei Yang have been sworn enemies for several years and have been suppressed and rubbed for several years.
Most of the ridicule that the dead girl had endured over the years was because of Wei Yang. The two sides were not fighting to the death, but they would never have any contact with each other.
Huanrui and Si Yatou haven't fallen out yet. No matter how you look at it, if the two sides fight, Si Yatou will help Huanrui.
But the dead girl chose to help Wei Yang, or it could be said that she never helped Wei Yang, but was narrow-minded and deeply hated Huanrui for being "ungrateful", so she chose to backstab him at the critical moment.
The dead girl's stance was undoubtedly sensational, causing the entire public opinion to become one-sided.
There is no way. It is conceivable how much negative information Huanrui has about Wei Yang and Dead Girl, two old enemies, joining forces. It also casts great doubts on the character of Huanrui and his wife.
The damn girl took the opportunity to stir up trouble and started to poach Huanrui. The two companies were originally intertwined.
Huanrui can easily poach people from Si Yatou, and if Si Yatou puts aside her concerns, she can naturally attract a group of people from Huanrui.
When the dead girl started to show off and fight back, Blue Whale and Wei Yang stopped moving and no longer made any moves. Even the amplitude of their previous moves was reduced a lot.
Just when Huanrui was confused, they heard a bolt from the blue.
Wei Yang acquired a company that happened to have a legal dispute with the company that Huanrui was preparing to go public through a backdoor listing. Theoretically, Wei Yang could use this company to block the impact on Huanrui's listing plan to a certain extent.
Huanrui's listing plan was not going smoothly in the first place, and it has recently experienced a lot of negative public opinion. If Wei Yang buys at the bottom like this, it may really be a complete failure.
"grass……"
Huanrui is having a real headache. It's just poaching and a quarrel. It's a common thing in the industry. Is it necessary to make it a real mess?
