Chapter 618: The Frustrated
The agreement reached between Li Mo and Minister Ai Shan can only be regarded as an agreement of intent, and they will not directly discuss the specific terms and content.
With their current status, this kind of specific implementation level no longer needs them to go out in person.
The specific work is responsible for a special person, which can be regarded as a form of division of labor and cooperation.
After accompanying Fat Di in Wumu City for three days, a phone call from Zong Shuai dragged Li Mo back to the imperial capital.
Because this time it is true that this matter itself is not something he can decide.
This is really not Zong Shuai shirking responsibility, because the core figure of this incident is Ye Ning, the vice president of Wanda Entertainment, Li Mo has been paying attention to.
In the year of 2014, he and Li Mo led Molong Media to start from the Spring Festival, and took turns to shoot in major schedules, frantically harvesting the box office, while other peripheral actions were still continuous, not only acquiring the top three Xingmei cinemas in the industry, but also getting the film and television adaptation copyright of Jin Yong's full set of works.
Although martial arts dramas have gradually declined on the big screen in recent years, and the recently released martial arts movies have almost escaped the doom of losses, for major companies in the industry, the adaptation authorization of Jin Yong's works obtained by Molong Media is still a great wealth.
After all, although the big screen is declining, on the small screen, Jin Yong's martial arts dramas still occupy their own world.
What's more, not long ago, Molong Media also held a special financing promotion meeting, which also means that Molong Media is ready at least at the decision-making level and intends to do a big job.
The rest of the industry pales in comparison.
Although if you look at the stocks of each company, the stock prices of other companies have only risen slightly, at most a slight loss, but compared with the momentum of Molong Media, it really looks much bleaker.
The Wang brothers of the Wang Group are not in a hurry about this.
At the beginning of the year, they also invested a lot of money in "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", and after the film was broadcast on Penguin Video, Wang's Group not only recovered all the investment, but also made 20% of the profits......
Although the money is not much, it strengthens their recognition of this mode of operation.
So they made persistent efforts, in addition to getting a part of the investment share of "Taiping Wheel" from CTI Media, the other main efforts were basically put on the 'pan-entertainment' route and Feng Gang's new film, and basically adopted a resigned attitude to Molong's successive actions.
Guanglu Media is more Buddhist than the Wang brothers.
Although compared with the original time and space, they failed to grab a piece of investment in "Breakup Master", but together with Tianying Group, they participated in the distribution of almost all new films of Molong Media this year.
Although Guanglu Media's share of the distribution share is only 3.5 percent of the total box office, the key thing is that this money is the net income of drought and flood protection.
For this alone, Guanglu Media's revenue so far this year has exceeded 60 million......
Coupled with the "Where Are You Going, Dad" movie and the continued popularity of the second season, from the current point of view, both the board of directors and the company's senior management are still looking forward to this year's annual report......
As for companies such as CTI Media, Xingbaoyuan and Haiyan Pictures, they have all made profits of different sizes in their cooperation with Molong Media, which can be regarded as a free ride......
The only thing that is more difficult is Wanda Pictures, which is led by Ye Ning.
Wanda Pictures, which was originally in time and space, although its overall performance in 2014 was mixed, at least discovered and bound Cheng Sicheng, a capable new generation of directors, and also made good profits through films such as "Return" and "Beijing Love Story".
But in this time and space, due to Li Mo's butterfly effect, "Master of Hypnosis", which was originally produced by Wanda Pictures, has already appeared, and "Beijing Love Story" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven" have not achieved satisfactory income because of the continuous negative news of the director and actors, which suddenly made the performance of the entire Wanda Film Company a lot more ugly.
The most important thing is that these problematic places, whether it is a project or a person, are almost all operated under the auspices of Ye Ning.
As a result, there has always been a tradition within a real large company.
As the person in charge of the company, it is your duty to lead the company forward, and you should also be responsible for the blame if something goes wrong......
Under this logic, it seems to be a normal result for Ye Ning to be pushed out of the blame.
However, according to the news obtained by Zong Shuai, although Ye Ning did receive some pressure at the meeting at Wanda's headquarters, Wanda's senior management does not seem to have reached an agreement on how to deal with the situation between him and Wanda Pictures.
At least for now, after Ye Ning returned to the imperial capital, his identity was still the vice president of Wanda Entertainment, but he was only temporarily on vacation.
Although the whole company feels that Ye Ning is a little wronged, since the decision to let him take a vacation was made by the big boss, then at least for the time being, Ye Ning is quite lonely and alone.
…… And Li Mo was the first industry insider to call Ye Ning after he was 'put on vacation'.
"Brother Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time," Li Mo reached out and shook hands with the other party after seeing Ye Ning in a teahouse in the imperial capital, "The last time we met, it should have been after "Beijing Meets Seattle", and it has been more than half a year in a blink ......of an eye."
"Yes," Ye Ning first lowered her head and took a sip of the tea in the cup, quite embarrassed, "After more than half a year of events, your Molong Media has already established a complete industrial chain ......"
This sentence seemed to touch Ye Ning's heart, and he added in a low voice: "Compared with you, I sometimes really doubt whether I should retire." ”
"What kind of retirement," Li Mo laughed, "Brother Ye is only forty years old, and he is in the prime of life. ”
"Young and strong?" Ye Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't know how many people below think I'm in their way!"
"Forget it, don't talk about this," Ye Ning waved her hand, as if she was driving away something unpleasant, "By the way, why did you think of asking me to come out for tea today?"
The news that Molong Media got the copyright of Jin Yong's works has spread in the circle, and Li Mo naturally doesn't need to hide it, so he naturally explained: "For the matter of the movie script passing the review, I just went to the western Xinjiang, and finally negotiated an agreement with someone, and I heard that there was a big incident in the imperial capital recently, so I rushed back in a hurry." ”
"Hehe, it's really a good thing that I don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles", Ye Ning laughed self-deprecatingly, "So in your opinion, the result that I have to take a vacation and rest now is not considered my own problem?"
