Chapter 202 Provincial Key Support Enterprises
The next day, Jade Emperor Entertainment held a grand signing ceremony for 14 artists at Wongtee Cinema in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
In addition to all the stars of the Jade Emperor, the signing ceremony also invited more than 10 Hong Kong and Taiwan stars such as Liu Dehua, Chen Long, Zhou Xingchi, Wu Zongxian, Huang Rihua, Zeng Zhiwei, etc.
The event was an unprecedented success, and the grand signing event and the "1.2 billion star-making plan" have caused a lot of influence in the entertainment circles of Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland.
The most direct impact is that Jade Emperor Entertainment has become a company that domestic artists, especially college art school students want to enter the most. Who threw out such a huge "star-making plan"?
It is not clear abroad, but it is absolutely unique in China, and no company has such courage before this.
Even TVB, which attaches more importance to the cultivation of newcomers in China, has never had such a big deal in terms of how many resources can be invested in a star training class. TVB does not have a similar star-making plan, and the newcomers who have graduated from the training class have to start by running tricks, and then - most newcomers don't have that, it is said that Zhou Xingchi has been running tricks for seven years.
Of course, there are those who applaud and those who question it, and many media and insiders have questioned that Jade Emperor Entertainment is hype, and the so-called 1.2 billion to create 12 first-line superstars is just a gimmick.
Because in the eyes of connoisseurs, this plan is a child's play, full of unreasonableness, the first famous artist is the pillar of a film and television company, and it is unwise and unreasonable to waste limited resources on newcomers instead of them.
Aren't the artists of the Jade Emperor Company rebelling, in fact, the stars of the Jade Emperor Department have not rebelled. This is enough to show that this plan is a gimmick.
Secondly, how are these 12 newcomers selected? I heard that the company's two major bosses secretly found it, isn't this? How can there be such a sloppy, the so-called newcomer is full of uncertainty in the future, some experts have calculated that 12 people need to successfully win out at least 6 people to return to the capital.
Where did Jade Emperor Entertainment get the confidence to achieve a 50% success rate, so many media people think that this is just a show.
Regardless of whether it is a show or not, Jade Emperor Entertainment's 1.2 billion star-making plan was thrown out uniformly, which immediately caused a lot of stimulation in the industry. Three days later, it was like an appointment with Huayi Brothers. Hairun Film and Television, Pony Galloping and other powerful companies have launched relevant stimulus plans, and even TVB announced the latest film plan for 99 years in advance on this day.
For a while, the domestic entertainment industry was not lively.
The two bosses of Jade Emperor Entertainment didn't care about the boiling of the entertainment industry, and the two had already returned to Changsha to live a dull life of commuting to work
Time flies, and 1998 has passed in the blink of an eye.
Just after New Year's Day, the good news came that Jade Emperor Entertainment Group was selected as a five-star star enterprise by the Hunan Provincial Government.
This year, 20 enterprises were selected as five-star star enterprises, and all of them were listed as provincial key support enterprises without exception, from policy and service. Taxation, financing and all aspects of the government will give strong support in an all-round way.
On January 12, 1999, Chen Lin and his wife Yu Yu attended a reception banquet held by the provincial government at the Shennong Hotel.
The couple met a lot of big entrepreneurs in the province in the hotel hall, including Sany Heavy Industry, Yuanda Group, Leishi Group and other large enterprises with a scale of tens of billions.
The Jade Emperor Group is far from these large enterprises with assets of tens of billions in terms of scale and annual turnover, but the CEOs present dare not underestimate it.
The Jade Emperor Group is special, it is a cultural enterprise, engaged in film and television production. Although the scale is small, it has caused a lot of impact in the past year, and it can even be said that in terms of popularity and influence in the country, the small Jade Emperor Group has surpassed all the large enterprises present.
Its popularity in the whole Hu* South Province is NO.1, and no one should object. The influence is actually not small.
The rise of Jade Emperor Entertainment has led to the rise of a number of emerging cultural industries such as Hunan Satellite TV, and there is a change that can fully illustrate this point, that is, hundreds of media organizations in China have set up offices in Changsha City, and several large media such as Southern Metropolis Daily have plans to move their head offices to Changsha.
Changsha gradually has the atmosphere of an entertainment capital in the mainland.
In addition, the hot program "Two Days and One Night" has brought great benefits to the province's tourism industry. This year, the province's tourism revenue has soared by 30% compared to last year. Among them, Jade Emperor Entertainment Group plays a key role in boosting.
Now Jade Emperor Entertainment has become a business card of Hunan*. It has become the pride of Hu*nan people. When people from other provinces mention Hunan, they will think of "Happy Camp", "Two Days and One Night", and the Jade Emperor Stars. Think of the TV series filmed by Jade Emperor Entertainment.
Therefore, regardless of the small scale of the Jade Emperor Group, it has indeed become the most dazzling star in the hall, and the two young CEOs of Chen Lin and Yu Yu have naturally become the focus of attention.
Many CEOs took the initiative to talk to the two, and everyone exchanged business cards with each other.
The provincial leaders have not yet come, and the big guys are chatting with familiar friends, and it is rare to have the opportunity to gather so many big bosses, so this kind of gathering is also a good time to make friends and expand personal relationships.
Chen Lin and his wife received a lot of business cards, and also sent out a lot of business cards, which will be talking and laughing with Lei Zhihui, the chairman of Lei Shi Group, Lei Shanhui is Lei Yang's father, Lei Shi Group is a real estate development, has been hotel management of the group company.
Lei Shanhui was very familiar with Chen Lin and his wife because of his son's relationship, and then he remembered that he had heard his son mention that the Jade Emperor Group was borrowing from the bank in the past few days, so he asked curiously and casually.
"Mr. Chen, I heard Lei Yang say that your company has been looking for bank loans in the past few days, is there such a thing?"
"Yes, there is such a thing."
"No, your company has always been very profitable, and the cash flow is also abundant, how can there be a lack of funds?"
"Hehe, how can I say it, I am not a qualified entrepreneur if I don't borrow money from the bank these days, Mr. Lei, you say yes?"
"That's right, as the so-called police don't dare to arrest the so-called loan of more than one million, and the court doesn't dare to sentence. It seems that Mr. Chen has also realized this truth! ”
"Mr. Lei, if you hear what Secretary Chen hears, do you guess he will cancel your five-star star enterprise certificate on the spot."
"Haha"
Lei Shanhui laughed, and Chen Lin also laughed.
Enterprise loans are trade secrets, Chen Lin naturally said, these days Chen Lin is really making appointments with the presidents of several major commercial banks in the city to discuss loans.
Borrowing from the bank is the decision of him and his wife after some thinking, next year the Jade Emperor Group will have a series of big moves, the funds are a little tight, and borrowing from the bank is a more ideal method.
While the two were laughing, an official from the provincial government walked into the hall to inform the entrepreneurs to press the line, and Secretary Chen Tianhua and Governor Zhou Housheng were coming immediately.
So everyone ended the chat, lined up under the instructions of the staff, and prepared to accept the enterprise award certificate issued by Secretary Chen in person.
As soon as the queue was completed, Secretary Chen and Governor Zhou walked in together, and the thunderous applause rang out, and everyone hurriedly applauded to welcome the two provincial leaders.
The two provincial leaders also applauded together, at this time two professional photographers picked up the camera next to them, and a staff member held a stand in front of a group of entrepreneurs, and there was a microphone on the bracket, which was used for the leaders to speak.
Secretary Chen Tianhua stepped forward and issued a few words of excitement and frustration to all entrepreneurs, encouraging entrepreneurs to create brilliance. After the leaders finished their speeches, they began to issue red certificates to each award-winning entrepreneur one by one.
"Congratulations to Mr. Liang, your Sany Heavy Industry has won this award for the third year this year, and I hope to send you this certificate next year."
"I will definitely strive to win this honor again next year, and thank Secretary Chen and Governor Zhou for their care."
Secretary Chen issued certificates one by one, and after issuing certificates to Mr. Liang of Sany, it was the turn of Chen Lin and his wife. After Secretary Chen issued the certificate to Chen Lin, there were several special details that several entrepreneurs next to him noticed.
The secretary's smile was very kind, he held Chen Lin's hand with his right hand, and patted Chen Lin's shoulder naturally from side to side, and the title was very kind, it was not Mr. Chen, but Xiao Lin.
"Xiaolin, congratulations to Yuhuang Group for winning the five-star star enterprise."
"Secretary Chen, thank you and Governor Zhou for your care for the Jade Emperor Group, without the support of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, how can my small enterprise have such an honor."
"It's not okay to learn to speak clichés at a young age." Secretary Chen joked and said with a smile: "Now the Jade Emperor Group is not a small enterprise, it is already a business card of our province, I hope you will make persistent efforts to make new contributions to the construction of spiritual civilization in our province." ”
"Secretary, please rest assured, I will keep your teachings in mind."
"Good, good."
Secretary Chen said three good things in a row, he was actually observing Chen Lin, and he found that in just one year, Chen Lin had grown from a fledgling young man to a young man with a calm temperament and full of confidence.
Secretary Chen remembered the visit to Jade Emperor Entertainment at the beginning of this year. At that time, the Jade Emperor Entertainment was still very weak, except for the fact that he was particularly impressed by the vitality, there was nothing else, and Chen Lin at that time was not as calm as he is today, and he was excited several times when he first met.
Unexpectedly, even his dignified provincial secretary underestimated the ability of this young man in front of him, and in just one year, he turned a little-known enterprise into a nationally renowned enterprise.
The future of this young man is limitless, Secretary Chen sighed in his heart before ending the conversation with Chen Lin, and then issued certificates to other entrepreneurs.
Half an hour later, the two provincial leaders presented certificates to the 20 representatives of the award-winning enterprises, and all the entrepreneurs were divided into two rows according to their height and left a group photo with the secretary and the governor. (To be continued......)
