Chapter 728: Tame the Wild Wolf

Xitian Entertainment Company.

In the chairman's office, Xi Wenfu sat on the boss's chair, and his narrow Danfeng eyes looked at the restrained and nervous young man in front of him.

"People in the circle say that singers don't go to Xitian, actors and directors don't go to Dongsheng, but they habitually forget the words in the back, directors and actors want to become famous, and choosing Xitian is the wisest choice."

Xi Wenfu lit a cigarette.

"Although the competition in the Xitian film and television industry is fierce, once it succeeds, the training and resources obtained are incomparable to the other three entertainment companies."

"Long Yuda, I am very optimistic about you, but unfortunately you disappointed me!"

Xi Wenfu spoke very slowly, his tone was calm, but there was an invisible sense of oppression and deterrence.

"Yes... Sorry, General Manager. Long Yuda lowered his head and didn't dare to look into Xi Wenfu's eyes.

Long Yuda, Xitian supports young directors, and the Spring Festival martial arts movie "Blue Mask Shura" is his director's work, and it is also his debut.

This movie invested 30 million, the box office on the first day was 10 million, and the box office on the second day was 9.8 million, the box office decline was negligible, and the movie cat score was 8.5, which belonged to the category with a high rating among the Spring Festival movies.

As the first directorial debut, Long Yuda is undoubtedly a great success, and the total box office of the movie "Blue Mask Shura" is estimated to be 400 million, which is a rare and good martial arts movie in recent years.

Knowing that the general manager was looking for him, Long Yuda was complacent, thinking it was a compliment, but who knew that it was a disappointment.

"Actually, this movie is not bad, but I have high requirements for you." Xi Wenfu walked up to Long Yuda and patted him on the shoulder, then handed over a cigarette and lit it himself.

"You are very similar to me, they are both poor boys with no background, so you only have one chance, and if you fail, you will never have a chance to turn over."

Xi Wenfu looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Zou Wendong is different, his father is a great director Zou Long, and his uncle is a well-known screenwriter in the industry, so "Crazy Hotel" hit the street at the box office, hindered by his father and uncle, he has the cost of trial and error, this movie has the next one, but you don't have the cost of trial and error without a background."

Long Yuda lowered his head and clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"I've decided to give you a chance." Xi Wenfu turned his head to look at Long Yuda.

"After the company's high-level discussion, the list of young directors who are highly praised does not have you, but I filled in your name despite the consensus, you have already disappointed me once, don't have a next time."

"I see, General Manager."

"Go ahead."

Xi Wenfu waved his hand.

"General manager, you look for me."

Zou Wendong knocked on the office door and walked in.

"Do you know how much money you're costing the company?" Xi Wenfu's voice raised a few decibels.

Zou Wendong swallowed.

"The Day of "The Day When the School Flowers Swapped Their Bodies" invested 100 million at the box office and 1 billion, and "Crazy Hotel" invested 300 million, but they couldn't even return to their original costs, and there were overwhelming discussions on the Internet, discussing that because you are the son of director Zou Long and the nephew of Zou Tiandi, the company will support you."

"Like what the ability to write a script is a piece of, and there are even more ugly words that you know better than I do."

Xi Wenfu's eyes were sharp, like a sharp knife, and he looked at Zou Wendong fiercely.

"Look at Long Yuda again, he doesn't have the connections of your father and uncle, he is completely from a humble family, and his debut work "Blue Mask Shura" is much more powerful than your debut work!"

Zou Wendong didn't dare to breathe.

"Don't let me down again, if it weren't for your father's face and making this kind of shit-like movie, you wouldn't even be qualified to enter the company."

"Get out!"

Xi Wenfu sat back in the boss's chair.

Seeing his eldest brother Xi Ronghua walk in, Xi Wenfu smiled.

"Big brother, I feel that the skill of dog training is getting more and more sophisticated."

"Second, they are not dogs, they are the directors of our company and the pillars of the future."

Xi Ronghua was a little dissatisfied with Xi Wenfu's words.

In his opinion, young people can have a cost of trial and error, with or without a background.

In addition, he is very satisfied with Long Yuda's movie results, which is not as unbearable as Xi Wenfu said.

"Big brother, we are managers, don't managers treat employees just to train dogs to make them obedient, if you talk to them alone, the effect is as good as mine?" Xi Wenfu asked.

Xi Ronghua was silent.

If it were him, whether it was Long Yuda or Zou Wendong, he would focus on encouragement.

Of course, this is the premise of not being disappointed, and if he is disappointed, these two people are not even qualified to meet him.

"Okay, okay, if I don't discuss this kind of issue with you, I will get angry every time I discuss you." Xi Ronghua ignored Xi Wenfu and sat in his place.

The reason why Xitian was able to become one of the four major entertainment companies was because of the three brothers' hard work.

If Xi Wenfu wants to become the chairman of Xitian, Xi Ronghua will give him the position without saying a word.

"The movies released by our company during the Spring Festival this year are a bit bleak."

Xi Ronghua clasped his hands on his shoulders and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking down at the scenery of Yanjing in front of him.

In the "Adventurer's Game" series, Xitian is rushing to create a mature and complete IP.

But the plot of "Adventurer's Game 2" has been criticized, and the special effects can no longer cover up this shortcoming, which has led to the planned third and fourth parts, and even the universe of "Adventurer's Game" coming to naught.

As for the box office, it will definitely be earned, but even if Xi Ronghua can't make it happy, the potential of this movie stops there, and he can't do it anymore.

"Crazy Hotel", which is also strongly promoted, is even more miserable, Zou Wendong's debut film "The Day of School Flowers Swapping Bodies" was a box office hit, but the second movie Zou Wendong insisted on filming the script he wrote and rejected the script written by his uncle.

The film invested 300 million, and the box office was miserable like shit, Xi Ronghua has accepted the fact of losing money, and it depends on how much money he loses.

"Fortunately, the TV drama industry has made a lot of money."

Xi Ronghua spat out a smoke ring.

Xitian film and television industry is a leader, especially the TV drama industry, which is almost equivalent to a monopoly.

According to statistics, Xitian accounted for 70% of the TV series broadcast in prime time in China last year, 20% was divided by Dongsheng, Warner, and Brother Entertainment, and the remaining 10% was owned by small entertainment companies.

The two brothers were chatting when the secretary walked in.

Seeing the general manager sitting in the chairman's position and the chairman sitting on the sofa, the secretary was stunned at first.

"Chairman, general manager, the security department called just now, Jiang Yan came over immediately, and now he should be taking the elevator."

The secretary reported.

Jiang Yan?

Xi Ronghua and Xi Wenfu glanced at each other and quickly guessed Jiang Yan's intention.

"He's here to compensate Dadi Cinemas." Xi Wenfu said in a deep voice.

"Well, I'm curious in what way he's going to compensate us."

Xi Ronghua stood up.

If the compensation is not satisfied, although he will not turn his face, he will not feel comfortable.

"Big brother, haven't you always opposed me beating Jiang Yan, today I will let you see if my power skills can control Jiang Yan, an unruly wolf!"

Hearing Xi Wenfu's confident words, Xi Ronghua frowned and hesitated.

"Don't go too far, we have a cooperative relationship with Beifeng Entertainment, Jiang Yan represents Beifeng Entertainment, I don't want to see a stalemate and can't end the situation!"

Some people died, but not completely......
