Chapter 435 Complicity, Hanlin Media
Ever since Wang Kai joined the crew, entertainment reporters have been squatting outside the film and television base every day, hoping to make headlines.
In the entertainment industry, a topic like Wang Kai's that two crews compete for has the potential to make headlines.
What's more, this time the matter also involved the acquisition of the brokerage company and the expulsion of the former artist director. There were simply explosive moments everywhere.
After Liu Shijie was dismissed from his post, he failed to recruit people and could not just let it go.
After leaving Huahuo, Liu Shijie no longer had the trump card of Wang Kai, but he still had some connections.
After confirming that Wang Kai could not be poached, Liu Shijie prepared for two days and went to meet Chen Wenhan.
…
night.
In the Royal Suite on the top floor of the Fini Hotel.
Chen Wenhan lit a cigar and sipped it slowly.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Liu Shijie and Mr. Liu want to see you. They are downstairs in the hotel." The assistant came in and said carefully.
When Chen Wenhan heard Liu Shijie's name, he frowned and felt a little unhappy.
Originally, he wanted to find Wang Kai to play the second male lead and was about to sign a contract, but Fang Xing suddenly reversed course.
Because of this incident, he was very dissatisfied with Liu Shijie.
However, he still wanted to hear what Liu Shijie wanted to say.
"Let him come in." Chen Wenhan waved his hand and asked his assistant to go down and bring Liu Shijie up.
The hotel's elegant elevator reaches the top floor, the elevator door opens, and through a door, you arrive at Chen Wenhan's royal suite.
Chen Wenhan was leaning on the handmade sofa imported from Switzerland, holding a cigar between his fingers, as if he was already an entertainment tycoon.
Liu Shijie walked over and greeted: "Mr. Chen."
There is an opened bottle of champagne on the coffee table.
The assistant stood aside, considering whether to pour champagne for Liu Shijie.
Generally speaking, champagne is used to entertain distinguished guests.
Liu Shijie's current situation does not seem to meet the criteria for drinking champagne.
Chen Wenhan waved his hand and asked the assistant to go down.
The assistant understood immediately and turned around without pouring the champagne. He closed the door and waited outside.
Liu Shijie is still good at observing words and expressions.
Especially for a guy like Chen Wenhan who has all the expressions written on his face, he can really do it very accurately.
He could tell from Chen Wenhan's expression that he had to lower his posture at this time.
Therefore, he did not sit down, but stood and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm here to help you."
Chen Wenhan sneered and hummed: "Help me? Liu Shijie, if I pursue the contract you signed with me, you will lose everything!"
The last time I signed a contract.
Liu Shijie has signed the investment contract, but Wang Kai has not signed the film contract.
The two contracts were originally signed together.
Because out of the 20 million invested by Huahuo Media in "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent", 12 million was Wang Kai's salary.
Huahuo Media only needs to transfer 8 million to complete the investment of 20 million.
But.
Liu Shijie signed the investment contract, but Wang Kai's film contract was not signed.
As a result, the investment contract signed by Liu Shijie could not be performed.
If Chen Wenhan is pursued, Liu Shijie will indeed be in a little trouble, but it's actually not that serious.
Because the investment contract and the film contract are together, they will only be legally effective if both contracts are signed.
Therefore, Chen Wenhan said this just to vent his emotions.
Of course Liu Shijie would not dwell on such a trivial matter, and said with a smile: "What happened last time was indeed my mistake, so I'm here to apologize to Mr. Chen."
"Is this how you apologize?" Chen Wenhan snorted coldly.
Liu Shijie glanced at the champagne on the table, thought about it, reached for the champagne, and said, "Mr. Chen, do you think this is sincere enough?"
"Does drinking this wine count as apology?" Chen Wenhan sneered again.
Liu Shijie frowned, put down the champagne, and picked up another unopened bottle of white wine on the coffee table.
This time he didn't ask any questions, he just opened the liquor, raised his head and drank it.
The strong white wine flowed from the corner of his mouth, making his eyes red from choking.
After drinking a bottle of liquor, he put his hands on the coffee table and coughed violently.
After choking and coughing for a while, he propped himself up and solemnly apologized: "Mr. Chen, I didn't do well last time, and I promise I won't do it again in the future.
"Moreover, Fang Xing did something so ruthless this time. I will never give up until I take revenge!"
Chen Wenhan didn't have any pity for Liu Shijie because he drank a bottle of liquor, but when he heard him mention his feud with Fang Xing, he suddenly became interested.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, there is indeed some truth to this saying.
"Tell me, what do you want to say when you come to see me?" Chen Wenhan wanted to hear his thoughts.
Liu Shijie is still very good at talking about business and cooperation.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to convince Tao Maorong to invest in his Huahuo Media.
"Mr. Chen, you are destined to become an entertainment tycoon. You cannot always have only one personal studio under your name. I think it is time to upgrade your studio to a company..."
Liu Shijie began to use his lobbying strategy: "Pengcheng Capital is indeed a big company, but there are too many shadows of Chen Lipeng in Pengcheng Capital.
"Mr. Chen, if you want to prove yourself, what you have to do is not to run Pengcheng Capital well, but to build your entertainment empire.
"You should not be the successor of Pengcheng Capital, you should be the godfather of the entertainment era.
"So, a personal studio is not enough.
"I am willing to be your pawn and do some trivial things for your company."
Chen Wenhan felt very comfortable hearing this rhetoric.
Of course Chen Wenhan knew that these words were a bit exaggerated.
But that didn't stop these words from really touching his heart.
Chen Wenhan laughed: "You are very good at talking, but what ability do you have to be my pawn?"
When Liu Shijie heard his question, he knew that today's purpose was basically answered: "Mr. Chen, it only took Huahuo two years to develop well.
"And at that time, I only received 10 million yuan of investment from Tao Maorong. In two years, Huahuo Media sold 50 million yuan.
"In two years, the return on investment is 500%. This case should be pretty good even if it is placed in an investment bank."
Chen Wenhan's family originally worked in investment banking. Although he has little interest in investment banking, he still knows something about it.
If we just talk about the data, the investment case of Huahuo Media is actually very successful.
It took Liu Shijie two years to quintuple the value of Huahuo Media. This resume is actually very strong.
Chen Wenhan did not answer, waiting for him to continue.
Liu Shijie continued: "I have a lot of resources in film, television and variety shows, which can also be used by Mr. Chen."
Chen Wenhan was indeed a little moved and asked: "Where is Wang Kai? Can Wang Kai dig him out?"
Liu Shijie frowned and asked: "Mr. Chen, didn't "Furong" find another actor to play the second male lead? Now we don't need to find Wang Kai, right?"
Chen Wenhan snorted coldly: "This grandson dares to trick me. Once he is signed, I will completely ban him. He will never even think of appearing on TV in his life."
When the contract was signed that day, Wang Kai was already ready to sign.
Later, what happened, Wang Kai joined the crew of "Nirvana in Fire" that afternoon.
This was equivalent to slapping Chen Wenhan in the face.
Therefore, what Chen Wenhan wants now is to dig up Wang Kai and then hide him in the snow until he dies.
"This is more difficult. Wang Kai's contract is with Huahuo, so I'm afraid he won't be able to get it." Liu Shijie explained the situation directly.
"Forget it, I'm busy filming, so I'll leave the company registration to you." Chen Wenhan made the decision immediately.
After this conversation, Liu Shijie registered with Hanlin Media and held the position of artist director.
Hanlin Media is a newly registered company of Chen Wenhan’s studio.
