Chapter 465: "Small Essay" Incident
Everything is difficult at the beginning. The difficulty lies in the first step. Once you take that step, there will be nothing to worry about.
Hu Jian finally made up his mind to leave Tangren Pictures, so when Li Xiaoping handed over the phone, Hu Jian said he wanted to leave.
Cai Yinong looked very sad and wanted to see Hu Jian for a detailed discussion.
The latter hesitated, but Li Xiaoping hung up the phone directly, and then called the company's legal affairs to come in to sign the contract. At this time, it was natural to cut the knot quickly.

Cai Yinong continued to call Hu Chan. Seeing that no one answered, he called Jiang Heng. After the call was answered, he cried and said that the Aiyouteng family has a great business and many capable people, but there is only one first-line artist in the Tang Dynasty. Why? Want to steal her pillar.
Jiang Hengdao said, "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. It is normal for artists to look for a more suitable platform. You can't sign a contract for life, right? Doesn't that become a contract of betrayal?"
Cai Yinong still complained, but Jiang Heng was too lazy to listen and hung up the phone.
On the other side, Cai Yinong was already trembling with anger, and said to Li Guoli, who hurried over: "It's too bullying, it's too bullying, how can it be like this?"
Li Guoli was a little disapproving, and even thought that it would happen sooner or later.
Men are always more rational, or care more about their future and career.
Hu Chan has frequently participated in the filming of Aiyouteng's film and television series in recent years, so it is really no surprise that he was poached by the other party.
He didn't even feel that he was angry, but Cai Yinong was about to explode with anger, so he could only share the same hatred.
"It's indeed too much. It's clearly a bully!" Li Guoli said in a deep voice.
Cai Yinong had a "you know me" expression, "He is just using his power to bully others. He, Jiang Heng, relied on his large investment and large number of movie fans to dominate the two best schedules. Several of the most popular actors in the country have also come to Aiyouteng. Even the pillars of a small company like us, Tangren Pictures, are poaching whenever they say..."
Cai Yinong's expression changed when she said this, and she quickly called Liu Shisi and asked if anyone from Aiyouteng Pictures had contacted her.
Liu Shisi is currently filming in Hengdian and has just returned to the hotel after finishing work.
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and then said: "No, what's wrong, Sister Yinong?"
Cai Yinong said angrily: "They poached Hu Jian!"
"ah!"
Liu Shisi was surprised. She had a good relationship with Hu Jian and they could talk a lot.
But I had never heard any news before, which shows how suddenly this happened.
"It's so good, why was he poached?"
Cai Yinong said: "It's not like I'm interested in other people's resources. Even though they talk so well on weekdays, they are also heartless. It's better for you, Shisi. I'll be relying on you from now on!"
Liu Shisi thought to herself: "If there is really a chance to transfer to Aiyouteng, it's not a problem if I don't have a conscience for the time being!"
Furthermore, it is only natural for actors to choose a better platform for development. What does it have to do with conscience?
However, in front of Tsai Yinong, she still had to say something nice and express her willingness to tide over the difficulties with Tangren Pictures.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Shisi hesitated for a few minutes and finally called Hu Jian.
No one answered the first call, so Liu Shi thought for a while and called again.
"Brother, I heard that you went to Aiyouteng?"
"Um!"
Facing his old friend, Hu Jian was somewhat unable to bear it, so he didn't answer the call at all the first time.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shi thought: "Congratulations!"
"Um?"
Hu Jian was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Are you here to ridicule me?"
Liu Shisi said: "How can you think that? I am really happy for you! Aiyouteng's strength and resources are well-known in the global entertainment industry!
With your ability, coupled with such resources and platform, it is possible to develop in Hollywood in the future! "
Although Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters are no longer inferior to those of Hollywood, for domestic artists at this moment, it is also a very honorable thing to be featured in Hollywood blockbusters.
Hu Chan is obviously also influenced by this kind of thinking. He has already starred in two films of "The Company", but when he thinks about being able to achieve something in Hollywood like Cheng Long, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, and Wu Xianzu in the future, he gets a little excited.
If you stay in Tang Ren Pictures all the time, daring to have such thoughts is basically equivalent to wishful thinking.
That said, I really made the right decision to change jobs.
Thinking of this, Hu Jian couldn't help but said: "Thank you!
Liu Shisi sighed, "Thank you for nothing, as long as I become famous in the future and don't forget my sister!"
Listening to the resentful little voice on the phone, Hu Chan felt blessed for a moment.
"How about I help you talk to Mr. Li?"
Liu Shisi was overjoyed. She talked for a long time, didn't she just wait for his words?
Competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, and for female artists, it can be described as cruel.
Because the flowering period of female artists is too short, if they cannot advance to the front line at the best time and become one of the most popular little flowers, their acting career will basically be like this.
In the first two years, they played a couple with a male artist, and in the next two years, it was common for them to play the other's mother!
Liu Shisi didn't realize that her conditions were much worse than those of Jing Tan, Yang Mi and others.
The reason why it is tepid is not because of the platform.
When "Bu Bu Jing Xin" became a hit, Liu Shisi was very popular for a while, but because the follow-up resources could not keep up, there was no more hits, and that was it.
But because Tang Ren Pictures has cooperated a lot with Aiyouteng, she has had more and more contact with Yang Mi, Zhao Liying and others, and she is really envious of their resources.
I just never had the opportunity, but now I really don’t want to miss it.
"Thank you very much!"
Liu Shisi didn't say much, let alone explain anything. Everyone knows this kind of thing, there is nothing to say.
At that time, Brother Cheng Long was under the Luo Wei Company. After becoming popular, he didn't jump to Jiahe.
Li Lianjie became famous with the "Once Upon a Time" series, but ended up breaking up with Jiahe and set up his own business out of anger.
In the end, because of Zhili, she had to borrow money from the Xiang family and ended up filming for Yongsheng.
In the entertainment industry, it is really normal for artists and companies to split up and merge.
But when Li Xiaoping received a call from Hu Jian, saying that Liu Shisi was willing to come to Aiyouteng, she was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
It’s not that Liu Shisi’s talent is rare. There are too many beautiful female artists in Aiyouteng Pictures. Liu Shisi’s coming here can only be considered as the icing on the cake.
But she had a quarrel with Cai Yinong before, and she still hasn't calmed down yet!
People tend to talk uncontrollably when they quarrel, so it is certain that they will hurt each other.
If she can add some more trouble to Cai Yinong, Li Xiaoping will naturally be happy to do it.
"Okay, I'll contact her right away!"
Because the two parties had cooperated before, Li Xiaoping immediately called and the two parties hit it off.
In just one phone call, everything was settled.
By the way, Cai Yinong is still writing a short composition in front of the computer at the moment!
She plans to use the voice of public opinion to criticize Jiang Heng and Aiyouteng!
The Chinese entertainment industry is not his backyard, he can do whatever he wants!
I stayed up until midnight to finish writing the manuscript, then simply tidied up and fell asleep.
When I was sleeping soundly early in the morning, I was suddenly woken up by a phone call.
"Mr. Cai, would you please check Weibo?" the company's vice president said loudly on the phone.
"What's wrong with Weibo?" Cai Yinong was woken up and couldn't react for a while.
"Hu Chan, and Liu Shisi thanked you on Weibo...!"
"Thank me?"
Cai Yinong realized that both of them had to run away!
She was about to explode with anger. She quickly opened Weibo on her phone and saw the latest status of Hu Jian 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 are discussing whether there is something wrong within Tang Ren's company, otherwise why would the "first brother" and "first sister" run away together?
A reporter contacted Tangren Pictures by phone, but no one answered.
Unexpectedly, that night, a short essay came out and instantly became a hot search on Weibo.
However, it was Cai Yinong who discussed the matter of Hu Jian and Liu Shisi changing jobs together.
The core point is that Jiang Heng and his Aiyouteng Pictures have completely monopolized the Chinese entertainment industry.
It also reminds me of Hollywood's "Paramount Act", which is the application of the "Anti-Monopoly Law" in the film industry, and elaborates on the harm that Ayote Pictures' continued expansion will have on the entire Chinese film industry.
For example, every company focuses on commercial films and box office results, and literary and artistic films are at a historical low, but Jiang Heng is also blamed.
The essay is very long and obviously a lot of effort has been put into it.
The impact was unprecedentedly huge, and the entire entertainment industry was instantly in an uproar and discussed a lot.
Immediately, several filmmakers jumped out to defend Tsai Yinong, feeling that Aiyouteng Pictures was relying on its own industry advantages to suppress its peers.
Of course, there are also many people who support Jiang Heng.
Artists are willing to change jobs, naturally because the bargaining chips and prospects depicted by the other party are more attractive.
The old club does not talk about issues from these two perspectives, but only talks about things from a moral point of view. This is moral kidnapping!
The turmoil from the outside world still had a certain impact on Jiang Heng, mainly because the leaders of the film bureau called to ask about the situation.
Jiang Heng said that it will be handled properly.
After hanging up the phone, he gave the crew a half-day off, and then called Hu Jian over alone to ask him not to feel any psychological pressure.
For example, Wang Jinghua ran away in 2005 and took away a large number of artists including Chen Daoming.
Hu Chan has also been doing some psychological preparation in the past two days and said that he will not be affected and will work hard to make the sequel to "The Company of Heroes".
Jiang Heng was very happy when he heard this and asked him to go back and have a good rest.
Then he called Li Xiaoping over and asked how things ended up like this.
"One brother and one sister have been served to others. Doesn't this mean that others will say that we bully the younger ones?"
Li Xiaoping was also aggrieved, "This is really not intentional. We love Youteng, and the most important thing is beautiful artists!"
It was Hu Jian who called to say that Liu Shisi wanted to come over, so I called her! "
Jiang Heng sneered: "So, you have achieved success but failed?"
"It was my fault that this matter was not handled well!" Li Xiaoping admitted frankly.
Today, Jiang Heng has become a "superior" through and through. His typical characteristic is that he only cares about results when he acts.
The people below can make their own decisions, but they have to get things done.
If he doesn't do it well and causes a lot of trouble, don't blame him for getting angry!
Li Xiaoping also knew this and said she would definitely solve it.
At the same time, he said that the "star effect" of Aiyouteng in recent years has been too obvious. How many newcomers or unknown actors have become popular and promoted to the front 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 to hear this, "In fact, even if you don't say it, I can guess it. It's just that there are some things that can be done but not said, especially can't be said in detail!"
Li Xiaoping smiled awkwardly and said I understand, I understand!
After leaving, Li Xiaoping called the boss of Weibo and asked him to help reduce the popularity.
The latter smiled bitterly and said that it was related to Director Jiang's popularity. If it was reduced directly, it would be too obvious.
What's more, Weibo is still under his name, which will definitely be criticized more.
Li Xiaoping smiled and said: "It's okay not to reduce it, come up with some more explosive news to disperse the heat of the matter!"
"That's no problem, just watch me operate!"
Li Xiaoping then called the company's "Internet Water Army Commander" and made some arrangements...
In the following days, hot news frequently appeared, including those in the entertainment industry and those related to people's livelihood.
The netizens who saw it "exploded their three views" and said they had never seen it before.
As for the "small essay" incident caused by Hu Jian and Liu Shisi's job-hopping to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, a large number of netizens first debated, and most of them analyzed the problem from the perspective of these two people.
Some said that Hu Jian had been delayed by Tang Ren until now, and it was wise to switch to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.
Some also said that Hu Jian's current status and achievements were all due to Jiang Heng's support. If he was unwilling to work for such a great resource as the male lead of two special effects blockbusters produced with hundreds of millions of US dollars, he would not be a person who knows how to be grateful!
As for Liu Shisi, it was her development after "Startling by Each Step", saying that she had already been sold into the ranks of first-line actresses, but the subsequent resources were not enough, and now she is "obscure". The current approach is the wise move.
As the saying goes, the husband has his own reasons, and the wife has her own reasons. There are not so many voices supporting Cai Yinong.
As for monopoly, perhaps the topic is too sensitive, and not many netizens mentioned it.
In short, after some operations, the impact of the incident gradually faded.
Li Xiaoping took the initiative to do Cai Yinong again, expressing her willingness to pay part of the liquidated damages.
Cai Yinong saw that things had come to this point, and she did not dare to offend Jiang Heng completely, so she took the money and left it at that.
Jiang Heng saw that the matter was properly handled, so he naturally would not blame Li Xiaoping.
Moreover, he could not let people see the jokes of Hu Jian and Liu Shisi, and let people think that the two were treated unfairly after coming to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent. He ordered Du Huan and Li Xiaoping to tilt the resources of film and television dramas towards these two people, and they must succeed.
After the two understood the meaning, they immediately convened the screenwriter team to come up with a script for the two people to star in together.
As for the investment, it also starts at hundreds of millions.
The news spread, and it caused more shock in the entertainment industry. Everyone wanted to join iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures!
However, these people were limited in fame and status, and the calls were generally made to the middle level of the company, but some of them found Du Huan and Li Xiaoping, and they could deal with it by shirking Jiang Heng's strict management in this regard.
Unexpectedly, someone called Jiang Heng these 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)
