Inside the Light and Shadow Group in the capital, Wang Xiangchuan is holding a meeting in a large conference room. He is dressed very simply, with cloth clothes and shoes. He has been dressed like this all year round. There are people in suits and leather shoes in the audience, who are meticulously watching his speech and important points.
Elite.
The only voice heard from Wang Xiangchuan's short stature was the loud and powerful voice. When someone was asked to speak, the people who responded were also very reserved and very careful in front of him.
Everyone is well aware of the status of the giant of Guangying, one of the top three film companies in the country. Long before Wang Xiangchuan came to Guangzhou, he was already famous.
As one of the top bosses within the Light and Film Group, which dominates the domestic film market, Wang Xiangchuan's experience can be described as legendary.
This person graduated from Qingdao University and entered a film company. He worked as a stage clerk and lighting worker, then became an associate screenwriter, chief screenwriter, assistant director, co-director, and director. Finally, the original film company went bankrupt and was reorganized, and entered one of the top ten companies in the country at that time.
The film company’s JingTV became the general manager of JingTV.
Later, Beijing TV and Guangying were at odds with each other. In the end, Beijing TV was unable to resist the wave of mergers and acquisitions by Guangying. After the former chairman agreed to the merger, he saw the turbulent internal affairs of the newly formed Guangying Group, and the major hilltops were competing against each other. He knew that participating would be a good idea.
In a huge gamble, facing a bunch of lions, tigers and leopards, you lose more and win less. If you don't pay attention, even the bones and skin will be swallowed by others. You choose wisely to take a large amount of merger and acquisition fees and quit quickly.
When making the decision, I informed Wang Xiangchuan, then general manager of BTV, and advised him that it was easier to conquer a country than to defend it, so it was better to retreat and seek wealth.
But Wang Xiangchuan didn't listen. Most of Beijing TV's rise was built by the people he led. Although mergers and acquisitions are an unstoppable trend of the times, if the whole country is lost like this, this tone will not go down well.
So this fierce man resolutely took Beijing TV's dozen-strong director team and these generals on hand as bargaining chips to join the feudal lords in the internal chess game of light and shadow.
As a company that controls one-third of the domestic market, the internal shares of Guangying Group are complex and have been established through a series of mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations.
The chairman, vice chairman, general manager, and two deputy general managers all have profound backgrounds and are generally in a position where they can fight without breaking through.
Wang Xiangchuan, who is also the deputy general manager, has no one above him, no capital and no backing. If he wants to gain a firm foothold in Guangying Group, he can only speak with his strength.
As soon as Wang Xiangchuan entered the Guangying Group, he made drastic changes. He changed the old bad habits and cut off the previous bureaucratic system. He directly implemented a creative-centered system. The status of the creators under his group rose sharply. After that, the team in Guangying and his team made some achievements.
, half of the business of Guangying Group is now supported by Wang Xiangchuan. As a deputy general manager, with such high prestige under the suppression of the previous mountains, you can know Wang Xiangchuan's skills.
After the strategic meeting in the group conference room was over, Wang Xiangchuan clasped his hands behind his back and called out a few names, all of which were the works of several young directors who had been presented to him. One of them specifically called out and asked the other party to come north to meet him.
Own.
It could be seen that the person who was named in charge of discovering the relevant works suddenly seemed to be given a halo of honor in front of dozens of people, and his expression was overjoyed. And that person was directly "hand-picked".
The project manager who the director came to meet looked even more flattered, receiving extremely envious looks from a large group of people.
When Wang Xiangchuan was the first to leave the conference room with his hands behind his back and his cloth shoes on, all the people in the huge conference room behind him took a breath as if some kind of restriction had been lifted from the audible needle drop.
…
Wang Xiangchuan left the conference room, and a message came from his mobile phone. It came from Liu Qirong, and he had created a group. There were three people in this group.
He, Liu Qirong, and the other one is... an expert.
Wang Xiangchuan: "Ha!"
Within the numerous light and shadow groups on the hilltops, Wang Xiangchuan, who has no backing background, has risen to his position step by step based on his strength. In order to truly produce blockbuster films, he currently has six first-line directors on hand, all of whom are well-known and well-known in China.
But they all require Wang Xiangchuan to fight for resources from the group, and the palms and backs of his hands are all flesh. The six generals are all Wang Xiangchuan's former friends and right-hand men. They cannot favor one over the other, so the six of them will each set up a project and throw it out to compete.
In this competition, because Zhao Beihai secured the cooperation contract with Zhou Chuan, according to the bet, the best scheduled film in February was given to Zhao Beihai's "Mountain and Sea Alliance".
Liu Qirong, who was competing with Zhao Beihai for this slot, had to postpone it. What he had previously thought was to get a slot in June. The film schedule is not as good as the window period, but it is not shabby.
This is the only thing we can do now. It goes without saying that Liu Qirong has a relationship with him.
I still remember the first time we met when Liu Qirong came to the set to work as a camera assistant. I heard that he was a graduate of Qingda University in Continuing Education, studying photography. Wang Xiangchuan, who was the co-director at the time, took him and chatted with him for a while. Later I saw Liu Qirong shooting
The stuff was indeed outstanding. At that time, I said that I would ask Liu Qirong to come over to the crew to help with the filming when he had time. We are all young people, so the wealth will not go to outsiders!
Later, Wang Xiangchuan became a director and produced several works, both of which were photographed by Liu Qirong. Both of them became famous, and they became a revolutionary fighting friendship. Later, Wang Xiangchuan became the vice president of Beijing TV, and Liu Qirong's first independent film
It’s the 10 million invested by Wang Xiangchuan.
Over the years, although Wang Xiangchuan and Liu Qirong have a relationship in the group, one is the leader and the other is the leader. But in normal times, the two are close buddies. If one of them is in trouble, the other will definitely not be affected.
Help without reservation.
Liu Qirong's last big-budget film failed, and some investors threatened to cause trouble, but it was Wang Xiangchuan who stepped in to calm him down.
When Liu Qirong got the idea for a New Year film from Chen Yiwen, he immediately told Wang Xiangchuan.
The two of them smacked it and felt that although the expert was mysterious, the idea was indeed interesting.
So the two of them thought about it and decided to make an appointment with this so-called "master" online to chat and listen to the other person's opinions in detail. If it was just a pretense to attract attention, forget it. If there is a way, you might as well refer to it.
That's why Liu Qirong started a WeChat chat with the master through Chen Yiwen today. After Wang Xiangchuan finished the meeting, he pulled him into the group chat where Wang Xiangchuan was also included.
…
Chen Yiwen was actually struggling with how to communicate with the two big guys opposite him for the first time.
First of all, he made up the identity of an expert, in fact, just to be on an equal footing with people like Liu Qirong, to facilitate the output of his information, and to ensure that they could listen.
Then this "master" cannot be too groveling, or even too approachable, even when facing two big bosses.
After all, Liu Qirong and Wang Xiangchuan are both people with status and status. It is probably not surprising that they are experts in the ordinary sense in front of them. They may not attract their attention and attention.
Moreover, this "superior" was an attribute forced upon him by Chen Yiwen, and he was only a college student. How could a "superior" in the eyes of a college student be superior?
Therefore, he had to scare the two of them as soon as he came.
If you present facts and reason at first, people won't listen to you.
Only by raising the tone and going off the rails as soon as possible to keep them unpredictable can we win by surprise.
Well, so you can't be too polite. You can't let people think that this high-ranking person has no weight.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yiwen knew how to surprise himself.
…
Wang Xiangchuan returned to his office. As a powerful figure in the Light and Shadow Group, Wang Xiangchuan's office was not luxurious. It was about twenty square meters. Compared with the at least fifty square meters of other vice-general-level suites, this place can be said to be pitifully small. Except
Beyond that are some filing cabinets and an old leather sofa.
However, this office actually remotely controls the operations of thousands of people in different places. On the other hand, there is a pair of leather shoes and a luxury belt in the cabinet behind him. The leather shoes were given to him by the international movie star Brad.
Yes, the belt was Marilyn's birthday gift to him. He stuffed these together with the trophies and certificates in the cabinet at the back. He was still dressed in cloth clothes and a pair of cloth shoes. He looked short and ordinary-looking, and only had a pair of tan but
Eyes that are not cloudy, sometimes staring at people can make people feel scared.
Wang Xiangchuan found a comfortable position to sit down in his office, brewed tea, spread his legs, half slumped on the chair, and naturally picked up his phone with his other hand to watch the group.
The "master" spoke.
"I will declare three rules first. First, don't talk nonsense, and only talk about one topic at a time. Second, don't interrupt when I am speaking. Third, you can only ask questions when I say you can ask questions."
Liu Qirong: "..."
Wang Xiangchuan: "..."
Wang Xiangchuan jumped out of the group to take a look and was sure that this was not the group where he usually assigned work? These two or three points were not the instructions he usually gave to his subordinates.
Then...a big "!" appeared in Wang Xiangchuan's head.
