"Never Expected" became an instant hit, in addition to Zhao Xingchi, Ding Xiaofei, and Wang Zefeng, the three people who came to the forefront, became famous, and Zhao Xiaogang and Xingchen Media also became famous.

Let's talk about Zhao Xiaogang first, who has always been a depressed professional director before, and now he has become a well-known director and has benefited a lot.

Even if "Never Expected" is just an online drama, people in the circle can still see Zhao Xiaogang's directing skills through details such as shooting techniques, storytelling, arranging editing, and training actors.

The day after all 15 episodes of "Never Expected" were broadcast, a film and television company immediately sent someone to contact Zhao Xiaogang, wanting to poach Zhao Xiaogang, and they offered a high price, double or triple the treatment given by Stephen Zhao. However, Zhao Xiaogang was unmoved, and he did not publicize this matter.

Or those companies that have been in contact with Zhao Xiaogang have used discordant tactics, praised Zhao Xiaogang in front of the media, and revealed that they want to dig out Zhao Xiaogang's meaning.

In the entertainment industry, there are not many artists like Zhao Xiaogang who adhere to the spirit of contract.

How many celebrities don't take the contract seriously at all, as long as the price is high to the point of temptation, these people will not hesitate to tear up the contract.

I don't have to say, raise wages.

As for the benefits of Xingchen Media, it is actually connected with Stephen Zhao.

However, as a result of the great increase in fame and more than 20 million revenues, Stephen Zhao decisively moved Xingchen Media to the magic capital.

Together, another film and television company originally registered in the capital moved to the magic capital on the same day, and quietly merged with Xingchen Media.

This film and television company registered in Beijing is called "Red Star Film Investment Company", and one of the founders is Ye Weihong, the son of the powerful in Beijing.

In the entire Red Star Films, there are four shareholders, Ye Weihong is the major shareholder, accounting for 51% of the shares, and there are three minority shareholders, one is Mo Li, one is Zhou Yuanheng, and the other is Peng Guohong, all of whom are people whom Stephen Zhao met in the capital.

According to the previous agreement with Ye Weihong, they worked together to enter the entertainment industry, and then the two companies merged.

Ye Weihong needs Zhao Xingchi's talent, and Zhao Xingchi needs the connections of Ye Weihong and others, so the two sides take what they need and hit it off.

Now, "Never Expected" has become popular throughout China, and has generated more than 20 million yuan of income for Xingchen Media, and Stephen Zhao's confidence has become more sufficient.

After Ye Weihong and others saw the results of "Never Expected", they immediately felt like they had taken a reassuring pill, and their confidence in the cooperation with Stephen Zhao increased.

So, the merger of the two companies was a logical thing.

After the merger, a media company was established, the name was changed to "Red Star Media Group", with a registered capital of 50 million, Zhao Xingchi accounted for 51% of the shares, Ye Weihong, Mo Li, Zhou Yuanheng, and Peng Guohong accounted for 49% of the shares. Red Star Media Group consists of six subsidiaries: Delan Advertising Company, Xingchen Cultural Economy Company, Xingchen Music Company, Red Star Film Investment Company, Satellite Film Distribution Company, and Satellite Film International Distribution Company.

Among them, Deland Advertising Company and Red Star Pictures invested before, and the original team was there.

Xingchen Cultural Economy Company, Xingchen Music Company, Satellite Film Distribution Company, and Satellite Film International Distribution Company, the four subsidiaries are newly established companies, because they are in the grass-roots stage, so the company structure is still blank, but Zhao Xingchi and Ye Weihong are full of confidence, so they jointly decided to pull up the shelf first.

Deland Advertising Company specializes in advertising; Red Star Film Investment is responsible for investing in the investment and production of film and television dramas.

Xingchen Culture & Economic Company, which is a subsidiary of the operating artist, is responsible for the packaging and operation of the artist.

Xingchen Music Company, just listen to the name, you know that Lu Dao is engaged in music. In Stephen Zhao and Ye Weihong's plan, this music company mainly deals in singers and artists' record contracts. In fact, the general trend in the entertainment industry now is that artists have no boundaries and span multiple habitats, so this music company is at most specializing in the singer's record contract and the copyright operation of songs.

Satellite Film Distribution Company, which is responsible for the domestic distribution of the company's films.

Satellite Film International Distribution Company, which is responsible for the overseas distribution of the company's films.

On the issue of distribution, Stephen Zhao didn't know much, and he didn't have any connections, so he handed it over to Ye Weihong to be responsible for matchmaking.

On May 20, Stephen Zhao and Ye Weihong signed a contract in the office of the new Red Star Media Company in the magic capital.

On the same day, Stephen Zhao served as the general counsel of Red Star Media, and then entrusted a headhunting company to poach a CEO for the newly established Red Star Media to dig up someone else's wall.

CEO of the company, this position is very important, Stephen Zhao is self-aware, knowing that he is not competent, and this is also a tiring and annoying job, so he does not plan to take up this position; Ye Weihong didn't want to take the role, because his entry into the entertainment industry was purely to make money, he was not interested in staying in the company every day to work hard, he liked to sit at home and collect money, so the position of CEO was vacant, and he had to start a plan to poach people.

As for the position of general consultant, this is tailored by Stephen Zhao for himself, and it is also a positioning for himself.

Managing companies, dealing with people, and managing finances, Stephen Zhao knows that these are not his specialties, and he doesn't like to do these things, which is very annoying.

Stephen Zhao thought that he had all the popular works in the entertainment industry on the planet, and being a producer was the best choice, so he set up a weird position of "general consultant" in the company.

As his major shareholder and general adviser, he will not interfere in the specific business affairs of the company in the future, but he has the final decision on the company's film and television investment and production.

On this point, Zhao Xingchi took a firm position, and after Ye Weihong and others considered it, they also agreed.

Three days later, the company's CEO was in place, a returnee named "Han Minzhong", who was previously the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region of American Columbia Pictures.

Han Minzhong is valued because Han Minzhong has rich experience in company management, and the other is that Han Minzhong has accumulated contacts and experience in Columbia Pictures for many years, and can quickly build the company's overseas film distribution channels. Zhao Xingchi and Ye Weihong met with Han Minzhong respectively, and they were more recognized, so they quickly made a decision.

On the sixth day, the third day of Han Minzhong's arrival at Red Star Media, the overall skeleton of the company was completed and the initial integration was completed.

On the tenth day, that is, on June 1, Red Star Media held a special meeting to decide the company's main work in the second half of this year, and formulated a plan to complete a TV series, a movie and a male artist and a female artist on the spot. In order to sound good, this plan is called "Double 11 Plan"!
