Chapter 465: "Small Composition" Incident

All things are difficult at the beginning, and the difficulty lies in the first step. Once you take it, there is nothing to worry about.

Hu Quan finally made up his mind to leave Tangren Pictures, so when Li Xiaoping handed him the phone, Hu Quan said he wanted to leave.

Cai Yinong seemed very sad and wanted to meet Hu Chuan to discuss the matter in detail.

When the latter hesitated, Li Xiaoping hung up the phone directly and called the company's legal department to come in and sign the contract. At this time, it was natural to cut the Gordian knot.

Cai Yinong continued to call Hu Chuan, but no one answered, so she called Jiang Heng. After the call was connected, she started crying, saying that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are big and have many talented people, but Tangren only has one first-line artist, so why did they want to snatch her position as the mainstay.

Jiang Hengdao, people go to high places and water flows to low places. It is normal for artists to look for more suitable platforms. They can't sign a contract for life, wouldn't that be like selling themselves?
Cai Yinong continued to complain, but Jiang Heng was too lazy to listen and hung up the phone directly.

On the other side, Cai Yinong was already shaking with anger, and said to Li Guoli who rushed over: "This is too bullying, too bullying, how can you do this?"

Li Guoli, however, did not take it seriously and even felt that it was something that would happen sooner or later.

Men are always more rational, or they care more about their future and career.

Hu Can has participated in the filming of many TV dramas and movies for iQiyi, Youku and Tencent in recent years, so it is no surprise that he was poached by them.

He didn't even feel angry, but Cai Yinong was so angry that she was about to explode, so he could only share the hatred.

"It's really too much. It's clearly bullying!" Li Guoli said in a deep voice.

Cai Yinong had a look on her face that said, "You know what I mean." "He is just bullying others by taking advantage of his power. Jiang Heng relied on his large investment and many fans to monopolize the two best schedules. Several of the most popular actors in China have also joined iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video. He even poached the pillars of a small company like our Tangren Pictures...!"

When Cai Yinong said this, her face changed and she hurriedly called Liu Shisi to ask if anyone from iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures had contacted her.

Liu Shisi is currently filming in Hengdian and had just returned to the hotel after finishing work.

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, what's wrong, Sister Yinong?"

Cai Yinong said angrily: "They dug Hu Chuan away!"

"what!"

Liu Shisi was very surprised. She had a good relationship with Hu Chuan and they could talk about many things.

But I hadn't heard any news about it before, which shows how sudden this incident happened.

"Why was he poached out of nowhere?"

Cai Yinong said: "You are attracted by my resources. You are so kind to me. You are so heartless. Shisi, you are the best. I will rely on you from now on!"

Liu Shisi secretly thought: "If there is really a chance to switch to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, it doesn't matter if I don't have a conscience for the time being!"

Besides, it is natural for an actor to choose a better development platform. What does it have to do with conscience?
However, in front of Cai Yinong, he still had to say nice things and expressed his willingness to overcome the difficulties with Tang Ren Pictures.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shisi hesitated for a few minutes and finally called Hu Chuan.

No one answered the first time Liu Shisi thought about it and called again.

"Brother, I heard you went to iYouTeng?"

"Ok!"

Hu Chuan felt somewhat embarrassed facing his old friend, so he didn't respond at all the first time.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shisi said: "Congratulations!"

"Ok?"

Hu Jian was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Are you here to make fun of me?"

Liu Shisi said: "How can you think that? I am really happy for you! The strength and resources of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are well-known in the global entertainment industry!

With your ability, resources and platform, it is possible for you to develop in Hollywood in the future!"

Although Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters are not inferior to those of Hollywood, for domestic artists at the moment, it is a very face-saving thing to be able to make a cameo appearance in a Hollywood blockbuster.

Hu Can was obviously also influenced by this kind of thinking. Although he had already starred in two "The King's Avatar" movies, he became excited when he thought about achieving some success in Hollywood in the future like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, and Wu Qiuzu.

If I had stayed in Tangren Pictures and dared to have such thoughts, it would have been basically a pipe dream.

So, it was really the right decision for me to change jobs.

Thinking of this, Hu Chuan couldn't help but say, "Thank you!

Liu Shisi sighed, "Why thank me? As long as you become famous in the future, don't forget your sister!"

Listening to the resentful little voice on the phone, Hu Chuan suddenly felt blessed.

"How about I talk to Mr. Li for you?"

Liu Shisi was overjoyed. She had been talking for a long time. Wasn't she just waiting for him to say this?

Competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, and for female artists, it can be described as cruel.

Because the blooming period of female artists is too short, if they cannot be promoted to the first-line at the best time and become one of the most popular young actresses, their acting career will basically be like this.

Two years ago, they were playing lovers with male artists, and two years later, they were playing each other's mothers. This phenomenon is common!
Liu Shisi didn't feel that her conditions were much worse than Jing Tian, ​​Yang Mi and others.

The reason why it is not very popular is not because of the platform.

When "Scarlet Heart" became a hit, Liu Shisi became very popular for a while, but because she did not have enough subsequent resources, she never had another hit, and that was it.

It just so happens that because Tang Ren Pictures has collaborated a lot with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, she has more and more contact with Yang Mi, Zhao Liying and others, and she is really envious of their resources.

It’s just that I haven’t had the opportunity before, but now I really don’t want to miss it.

"Thank you very much!"

Liu Shisi didn't say much, let alone explain anything. Those who understand this kind of thing will understand, there is nothing to say.

Back then, Brother Cheng Long worked for Luo Wei's company, but after he became famous, he jumped to Jiahe.

Jet Li became popular again with the "Once Upon a Time in China" series, but ended up falling out with Ka Wo and angrily set up his own studio.

In the end, because of Zhili, he had to borrow money from the Xiang family and finally made a film for Yongsheng.

In the entertainment industry, it is very common for artists and companies to break up and get back together.

However, when Li Xiaoping received a call from Hu Qian, saying that Liu Shisi was willing to come to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, she was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled.

It’s not that I think Liu Shisi is a rare talent. There are so many beautiful female artists in iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video. Liu Shisi’s coming here can only be icing on the cake.

But she had just had a fight with Cai Yinong and she’s still angry!
People often say things without thinking when they quarrel, so it is certain that they will hurt each other.

If she could cause more trouble for Cai Yinong, Li Xiaoping would naturally be happy to do it.

"Okay, I'll contact her right away!"

Because the two parties had cooperated before, Li Xiaoping called him immediately and the two parties hit it off.

Everything was settled in just one phone call.

By the way, Cai Yinong is still writing a short essay in front of the computer at this moment!

She plans to use the voice of public opinion to criticize Jiang Heng, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video!

The Chinese entertainment industry is not his backyard, he can do whatever he wants with it!
I stayed up until the middle of the night to finish the manuscript, tidied myself up briefly, and fell asleep. The next morning, when I was sleeping soundly, I was suddenly woken up by a phone call.

"Mr. Cai, could you please check Weibo?" the company's vice president shouted into the phone.

"What's wrong with Weibo?" Cai Yinong was woken up and was unable to react for a moment.

"Hu Chuan, and Liu Shisi thanked you on Weibo...!"

"Thank me?"

Cai Yinong reacted and realized that both of them had to run away!

She was so angry that she quickly opened the Weibo on her phone and saw the latest status of Hu Can and Liu Shisi.

"Bang!" The new Apple phone was smashed to the ground.

"How could they do this? How could they do this? It's so bullying!" Cai Yinong burst into tears.

On this day, the news that Hu Jian and Liu Shisi left Tangren Pictures together became a hot topic. Netizens were discussing whether there was something wrong within Tangren Company, otherwise why would the "big brother" and "big sister" leave together?

A reporter tried to contact Tang Ren Pictures by phone, but no one answered.

Unexpectedly, that night, a short essay came out of nowhere and instantly became a hot topic on Weibo.

However, it was Tsai Ing-wen who elaborated on the issue of Hu Chuan and Liu Shisi changing jobs together.

The core point is that Jiang Heng and his iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures have completely monopolized the Chinese entertainment industry.

It also reminds me of Hollywood's "Paramount Decree", which is the application of the "Anti-Monopoly Law" in the film industry, and specifically explains the harm that the continued growth of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures will cause to the entire Chinese-language film industry.

For example, all companies focus on commercial films and box office performance, while art films are at a historical low, and this is actually Jiang Heng's fault.

The essay is very long, and it is obvious that a lot of effort was put into it.

The impact was unprecedentedly huge, and the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar and full of discussions.

Several filmmakers immediately jumped out to speak up for Cai Yinong, and felt that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video were using their own industry advantages to suppress their peers.

Of course, there are also many people who support Jiang Heng.

Artists are willing to change jobs naturally because the bargaining chips offered by the other party and the prospects described are more attractive.

The old boss does not discuss the issue from these two perspectives, but only talks about morality. This is moral kidnapping!

The disturbances spread from the outside world did have a certain impact on Jiang Heng, mainly because the leaders of the Film Bureau called to inquire about the situation.

Jiang Heng said that the matter would be handled properly.

After hanging up the phone, he first gave the crew half a day off, and then called Hu Quan over alone to tell him not to feel any psychological pressure.

He even cited the example of Wang Jinghua leaving in 05, taking with her a large number of artists including Chen Daoming.

Hu Quan has also been preparing himself mentally these past two days and said he will not be affected and will work hard to make a good sequel to "The King's Avatar".

Jiang Heng was very happy to hear this and let him go back and have a good rest.

Then he called Li Xiaoping over and asked her how things turned out like this.

"Our first brother and first sister have both been taken away. Isn't this going to make people say we are bullying the weak?"

Li Xiaoping also felt aggrieved, "I really didn't mean it. We have no shortage of beautiful artists on iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video!

It was Hu Jian who called and said that Liu Shisi was interested in coming over, so I called her!"

Jiang Heng sneered: "So, you have done nothing wrong?"

"It's my fault that this matter was not handled well!" Li Xiaoping admitted frankly.

Today, Jiang Heng has become a complete "superior", and his typical characteristic is that he only cares about the results when doing things.

The people below can act on their own, but they must get things done.

If you don't do it well and cause a lot of trouble, don't blame him for getting mad!
Li Xiaoping also knew this and said that she would definitely solve it.

At the same time, it is said that the "star effect" of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video has been too obvious in recent years. Many newcomers or unknown actors have become popular and advanced to the first-line because of their films.

In fact, there are many people in the industry who want to come to our company, but they just don’t have the opportunity!
Jiang Heng was very happy after hearing this. "In fact, even if you don't tell me, I can guess it. It's just that there are some things that can be done but not said, especially in detail!"

Li Xiaoping smiled awkwardly and said, "I understand, I understand!"

After leaving, Li Xiaoping called the CEO of Weibo and asked him to help reduce the heat.

The latter smiled bitterly and said that since it was Director Jiang's popularity, it would be too obvious if it dropped directly.

What's more, the Weibo account is under his name, so it will definitely be criticized more.

Li Xiaoping smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't lower the price. Just come up with some more explosive news to diffuse the heat of the incident!"

"That's no problem, just watch me do it!"

Li Xiaoping then called the company's "Internet Navy Commander" to make some arrangements...

In the following days, hot news broke frequently, including those related to the entertainment industry and people's livelihood.

The netizens who watched it were so shocked that they exclaimed that they had never seen anything like it in their lifetime.

As for the "small composition" incident caused by Hu Quan and Liu Shisi's job-hopping to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, a large number of netizens first debated it, and most of them analyzed the issue from the perspective of these two people.

It is said that Hu Can has been delayed by Tang Ren until now, and it is wise for him to switch to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

Some also say that Hu Can’s current status and achievements are all due to Jiang Heng’s support. As the leading actor in two special effects blockbusters produced with hundreds of millions of US dollars, if he is unwilling to invest in such incredible resources, he is not a grateful person!

As for Liu Shisi, she was mentioned in the development after "Scarlet Heart", saying that she was already sold into the ranks of first-line actresses, but she did not have enough resources afterwards, and now she is "obscure". What she is doing now is the wisest move.

As the saying goes, every man has his own reasons, and there are not many voices supporting Tsai Ing-wen.

As for monopoly, perhaps because the topic is too sensitive, not many netizens mentioned it.

In short, after some operations, the impact of the incident gradually faded.

Li Xiaoping took the initiative to talk to Cai Yinong and expressed her willingness to pay part of the penalty for breach of contract.

Seeing that things had come to this, Cai Yinong did not dare to offend Jiang Heng completely, so she took the money and left the matter alone.

Seeing that the matter was handled properly, Jiang Heng naturally would not blame Li Xiaoping.

We also cannot let people laugh at Hu Can and Liu Shisi, making people feel that they have been treated unfairly after coming to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video. We have ordered Du Huan and Li Xiaoping to tilt the film and television resources towards these two people, and we must succeed.

After the two understood the meaning, they immediately called a screenwriter team together to come up with a script for the two to perform together.

As for investment, it starts at hundreds of millions.

As the news spread, it caused a stir in the entertainment industry, and everyone wanted to join iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video!
It's just that these people have limited fame and status, so the calls are usually made to the middle-level management of the company. However, some of them also find Du Huan and Li Xiaoping, who can handle it by saying that Jiang Heng is strict in this regard.

Unexpectedly, someone called Jiang Heng these few days.

Jiang Heng tried his best to refuse, but he sent those who were really hard to refuse to Bona Films, which was still a company under Jiang Heng's name, so it was acceptable. (End of this chapter)
