Chapter 206 Huayi and Liu Yifei's reactions
In the entertainment industry, status? Influence?
In fact, it is your ability to create wealth for others.
The more wealth you create for others, the more the entire circle will support you, and your status and influence in the circle will naturally be greater.
Tangren does not accept capital injection and produces one or two TV series every year, most of which are the company's own dramas. From investment to actors, they are basically all the company's own people, and outsiders can't get any benefits at all.
Many people were dissatisfied with the Tang people's behavior of eating alone.
Moreover, Tangren always likes to praise Taiwanese artists, and it seems like their butts are sitting crookedly.
These are the reasons that led to the "anti-Tang movement".
Yang Hao was merely the fuse and vanguard of the "Anti-Tang Movement".
-
In order to deal with the Tang people, the benefits Yang Hao paid this time were not small, and he had to make up for it from somewhere.
So Yang Hao called Yu Li.
"Yu Li, Liu Shishi and Nazha's breach of contract fee has not been paid to Tangren yet, right?" Yang Hao got straight to the point as soon as the call was connected.
"Boss, not yet. This involves tens of millions of dollars, how can it be done so quickly?" Yu Li responded immediately.
It is actually very troublesome to pay the penalty for breach of contract for celebrities. Tangren wants more, while Yu Li wants less, and the two sides are still in the process of negotiation.
"Okay, then don't pay the penalty for now, let's wait and see."
What Sister K did this time was really disgusting. First, she tried to trick Liu Shishi into returning to Shanghai, and then she spread rumors about her.
It's so fucking disgusting. It's opening the door to disgust. It's so disgusting.
If you make me unhappy, I won't let you have an easy life either.
Originally, they wanted to pay the penalty and part ways amicably, but now Yang Hao doesn't want to pay it anymore.
-
The Magic City, which was originally bright and sunny, was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if the dark clouds were pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it.
The air is humid and hot, making people feel irritated.
Sister K was sitting in the office. She didn't know why she had been feeling uneasy for the past two days and had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
He had a complete falling out with Liu Shishi, and was unable to connect with the big shot who was willing to act as a matchmaker. It is still unknown when the play "The Desert Ballad" can be sold.
"Sister K, something's wrong, something's wrong," Sister K's assistant suddenly ran in in a panic, shouting "something's wrong" as she ran.
Seeing the assistant's panic, Sister K couldn't help but frown, with a slight look of displeasure on her face.
"Tell me what's going on slowly." Her assistant was always calm and steady in her work. What could have made her so flustered? Sister K suddenly had a bad guess in her mind.
"Mr. Cai, the radio, film and television administration just reported that the drama "Legend of the Condor Heroes" does not conform to mainstream values, subverts history, and needs to be revised."
After hearing these words, Sister K’s head started buzzing.
Recently, she has really had enough of the phrase "not conforming to mainstream values and subverting history."
Why don't you point out what is not in line with mainstream values and subverts history?
It doesn't conform to mainstream values and it subverts history. This is a shitty excuse.
If this is really to be strictly enforced, is there a historical drama that can be broadcast?
The whole time in "The Reign of Kangxi" is about "I, Xiaozhuang, I, Xiaozhuang". Does this conform to history?
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Emperor Yongzheng ignored state affairs every day and revolved around a bunch of women. Is this in line with history?
There is also the popular Qing Dynasty drama "Palace Lock Heart Jade" in recent years, which is in line with history?
This reason is fucking bullshit.
Other TV series can be broadcast, why can't "Wind and the Wind" be broadcast? Sister K feels that this is bullying the honest people.
The script of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been revised more than 30,000 times, and the TV series has been reshoots many times. It has been delayed for more than two years. How else do you want me to make revisions?
And didn’t it pass the review before? Why are you saying now that it doesn’t conform to mainstream values and subverts history?
Sister K had a strong premonition that she must have been tricked this time, and that someone was definitely targeting her behind her back.
Sister K leaned back in her boss chair and thought carefully about the people she had offended.
Tangren has been established for more than ten years and has offended so many people that it is hard to count them.
But if we talk about the person who was offended recently, it must be Yang Hao.
"Could it be that Yang Hao did all this?" When Sister K thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but shook her head.
How is that possible?
Yang Hao has only been in the industry for two years, and although his career has developed quite well, Sister K doesn't believe that Yang Hao has such great potential.
Sister K shook her head, cleared her mind of all the messy thoughts, took out her cell phone, and called a few TV station leaders with whom she had a good relationship, hoping to get some information from them.
"Mr. Cai, have you offended anyone recently?" After all, Tangren is a local company in Shanghai, and has a very pleasant relationship with Shanghai Satellite TV.
When Sister K called Shanghai TV, the leader of the TV station did not hide anything and said directly that Sister K had offended someone.
When Sister K heard the leader of Shanghai TV say that she had offended someone recently, she was shocked. It was just as she had guessed. She was being targeted this time.
"Mr. Cai, please think carefully about who you have offended recently?" the leader of Shanghai TV reminded again.
"I don't think I've offended anyone," Sister K thought for a moment and said uncertainly.
“Mr. Cai, you must have offended someone this time. I’ve heard that several first-tier TV stations have joined forces to ban your drama,” the leader of Shanghai Satellite TV said firmly.
Several first-tier TV stations joined forces to ban their own dramas?
When Sister K heard the news, she felt like she had been struck by a bolt from the blue and was completely stunned.
When have you ever offended a first-tier TV station?
When dealing with them, how often do we not treat them like ancestors? Although this time only a few first-tier TV stations released the news that they would ban us, it seems that there are many other TV stations in the country that can be chosen.
But Sister K knew that this was not the case at all.
First-tier TV stations have ample funds for purchasing dramas every year and are more willing to spend money on purchasing dramas. A TV series that could have sold for 150 million per episode on first-tier TV stations may only sell for 100 million per episode when it is broadcast on second-tier and third-tier TV stations.
First-tier TV stations have a large audience and inherently high ratings. If a program is broadcast on an ordinary second- or third-tier TV station, it may only have a rating of 1 point, but on a first-tier TV station it may have a rating of 1.5 or even 2 points.
If the ratings of the first broadcast are high, the prices of the second and third rounds will also be higher, and the price of the online broadcasting rights will also be higher. This series of benefits is like dominoes, one link after another.
And the situation is even worse now that he has been banned by several first-tier TV stations.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if the top TV stations can join forces to ban a movie, the person behind it must be extremely powerful.
The first-tier TV stations are like weather vanes. They don’t dare to buy Tangren’s dramas, and the second-tier and third-tier TV stations behind them are even more afraid to buy them.

There is no impenetrable wall in the entertainment industry. After a few days, rumors spread in the industry that Yang Hao had banned Tangren.
The news only said that Yang Hao banned Tangren, but did not tell why, which made everyone in the circle very confused.
In Wang Zhongjun's office in the Huayi Office Building, brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were sitting facing each other, drinking tea and chatting.
"Brother, didn't you say that Yang Hao had a good relationship with Tangren? How come they suddenly fell out with Tangren's top actress Liu Shishi, who was used in two consecutive movies? I don't know what Tangren did to make Yang Hao spend so much money to ban them," Wang Zhonglei said gloatingly while drinking tea.
"No matter why they fell out, we can just watch the show and let them fight each other." When Wang Zhongjun received the news that Yang Hao had banned Tang Ren, he couldn't believe it at first, but then he was ecstatic. He didn't have a good impression of Tang Ren and Yang Hao. It would be perfect if they could fight to the point of mutual destruction.
"Brother, do you think that the falling out between Yang Hao and Tangren will lead to the failure of the movie Detective Chinatown 2 that Yang Hao is currently filming? You should know that the leading lady of this movie is Tangren's top actress Liu Shishi?" Wang Zhonglei asked Wang Zhongjun a very crucial question.
When Wang Zhongjun heard his brother Wang Zhonglei's words, his hand holding the teacup paused.
This is indeed a very critical issue.
This year, Huayi released "The Blade of the Dragon" starring Long Ge. Originally, due to concerns about Yang Hao's "Detective Chinatown", the release date was moved forward to the New Year's Day.
But the New Year’s Day box office is not as high as the Spring Festival box office. If something really goes wrong with the movie “Detective Chinatown 3”, will “The Blade Runner” have a chance?
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongjun's eyes lit up instantly.
"Zhonglei, pay more attention to Yang Hao's movements during this period and pay attention to the movie "Detective Chinatown". If you have any gossip, remember to inform me in time," Wang Zhongjun said a little excitedly.
In the past two years, Huayi has been beaten so badly by Yang Hao that it can't even raise its head, and it is almost becoming a laughing stock in the industry. This time, Wang Zhongjun feels that his chance has come. If there was no Yang Hao's "Detective Chinatown", Wang Zhongjun felt that he could also take a big bite of the big cake of the Spring Festival.
"Okay, brother, I will pay attention to the news." Although he and Yang Hao have a lot of cooperation now and the relationship between the two sides has eased, Wang Zhonglei still hates Yang Hao in his heart.

"Really?" In Liu Yifei's studio, when Liu Yifei learned from her mother Liu Xiaoli that Yang Hao had banned Tangren in the circle, she was both surprised and happy.
She had been vilified by Sister K, and she remembered it all. Who said that fairies don't bear grudges? She just didn't have the strength to retaliate.
"Of course it's true," Liu Xiaoli answered affirmatively with a smile.
Liu Xiaoli also hates Tangren. Although her daughter Liu Yifei became famous through Tangren's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", didn't her daughter not have a contract with Tangren?
Is it necessary to frame your own daughter like this?
Liu Xiaoli really dislikes Tangren K's overbearing style of doing things. Now Yang Hao's ban on Tangren can be regarded as revenge for her.
"Oh, by the way, Yang Hao should also be a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, right? He seems to be your junior. You should get to know him more often if you have the chance. Your junior is really an amazing figure in the circle now, and it's only been a few years! A company like Tangren can ban someone at will, it's really amazing."
Liu Xiaoli was well aware of the darkness of the entertainment industry, so she was always afraid that her daughter would be bullied. Ever since Liu Yifei made her debut, she has been following Liu Yifei every time she joined a group, until Liu Yifei was 26 years old. Perhaps she felt that Liu Yifei had really grown up at this time, so she stopped following her.
In the past, she was afraid that her daughter would be bullied, but as her daughter grew up day by day, no one bullied her and that became Liu Xiaoli's concern.
Now her daughter Liu Yifei is 27 years old and has grown into a grown-up girl. If she is not bullied anymore, Liu Xiaoli even suspects that her daughter may end up living alone.
Liu Xiaoli didn't think any boy of the same age was worthy of her daughter.
But the appearance of Yang Hao made Liu Xiaoli's eyes light up. He was handsome and talented, and a perfect match for her daughter.
The only drawback is that Yang Hao is too young, five years younger than Liu Yifei.
But Liu Xiaoli changed her mind and thought that a girl who was five years older than her mother and was as good as her mother, seemed quite suitable.
"Fei Fei, the celebration party for "Knife of the Assassin 2" will be held in a few weeks. Let's go and join in the fun then."
Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei and Yang Hao had never dealt with each other before. If they wanted to become friends with Yang Hao, the celebration banquet for "Knife of the Assassin 2" would be a good opportunity.
"Yes," Liu Yifei usually would not refuse her mother's request.
What's more, Liu Yifei was also very curious about her junior Yang Hao.
This junior of mine has only been in the industry for two years, and every movie he produced has been a huge hit, with a total box office of nearly 10 billion yuan.
Liu Yifei has secretly watched five or six movies produced by Yang Hao, from "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" to "Knife of the Assassin 2", and the quality of the movies is really great.
Thinking about the movies she had starred in, which had all failed in various ways, Liu Yifei really wanted to talk to her junior about how he had done it and why he had such a good eye for choosing movies and every one of them sold well.
Having heard that her junior fellow apprentice was very handsome, Liu Yifei also wanted to see offline how handsome her junior fellow apprentice was.
Seeing that her daughter agreed, Liu Xiaoli nodded with satisfaction.
"Fei Fei, Yang Hao has a very good reputation in the Beijing Film Academy circle. I heard that he particularly likes to promote people who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. Most of the directors of the movies he invested in are from the Beijing Film Academy, and there are countless actors who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. Fei Fei, you are so beautiful, and you graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. You will definitely be able to charm that kid Yang Hao," Liu Xiaoli started to speak seriously, but at the end she seemed to be teasing her daughter.
"Oh, Mom, I won't pay attention to you anymore." Liu Yifei's face turned a little red after what Liu Xiaoli said. She said this coquettishly, then turned her head and really ignored Liu Xiaoli.
Seeing Liu Yifei so innocent, just like when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, Liu Xiaoli felt a little worried. If she let go, she was really afraid that Liu Yifei would meet a scumbag. But if she continued to control her daughter like this, she was afraid that she would end up living a lonely life.
"Oh, giving birth to a daughter really requires too much worry," Liu Xiaoli sighed in her heart.
Does anyone want to read about Liu Yifei? I had no intention of writing about her, but today I had an idea, so I wrote a paragraph about her. If no one wants to read it, I won’t write about her later.
Liu Yifei is really fat now, especially her big butt, which must be caused by daily sex life or even giving birth to a child
