Chapter 410: Rising to the Top and Dominating the Industry

The sudden departure of Boss Li from Xiaoma Pentium did not cause much heat in the outside world.

After all, he was the company's boss, and Da Gou was relatively low-key. Not many ordinary people who did not understand the entertainment industry knew him, but it was a small earthquake in the circle.

Especially in the film industry, the sudden death of such a big boss caused a huge chain reaction. Wei Yang even heard that the relevant departments had held a meeting for this. There were countless rumors and conspiracy theories, and there were undercurrents in private.

The crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 3" was relatively quiet, and most of them were more eating melons and regretful.

Why did a big boss suddenly die? Is there any trick behind it?

It's a pity that he was not yet at the age of knowing his destiny, and his net worth was billions. It can be said that it is the end of life that countless people can only hope for, but he died young, and he could not enjoy happiness no matter how much money he made.

Liu Shishi even thought of Wei Yang because of this. He was usually very tired at work and under great pressure, so she urged him to have a physical examination.

"Don't worry, I cherish my life more than you think. I have a regular comprehensive checkup every season of the year, and a private medical team provides long-term services. I monitor my health according to my body. I dare not mention minor illnesses, but I can detect major illnesses as soon as they show signs."

The body is the capital of everything!

Wei Yang knows why he makes so much money. If he wears his body out, that would be putting the cart before the horse. He can be more careful about his health.

Not only is he careful, but the people around him will also make detailed arrangements.

It's just that most other people are not as cautious as he is, and they are impatient to go to the hospital often. For example, Liu Shishi goes to the hospital for physical examinations twice a year unless she is sick.

After all, she is still a young man, and two physical examinations a year are actually enough, and Wei Yang does not force her.

So Liu Shishi thought that Wei Yang was similar to herself, at most more times, but she never thought that he was so exaggerated in private.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, Wei Yang's behavior was reassuring, at least there was no need to worry about any hidden dangers or acute diseases.

Except for Wei Yang's good health, Liu Shishi did not pay much attention to it, and the same was true for others.

Either they simply don't have this intention and don't care about the situation in this regard, or they are too far away from each other. The future of Xiaoma Pentium has nothing to do with them and they are too lazy to care.

Even the few who may be related to Xiaoma Pentium are relatively calm.

It's useless to be calm. With their abilities and identities, they can't turn the tide, so they just go with the flow.

The earth will turn without anyone. In this circle, it's normal for projects and even companies to fail.

More than 90% of the first-line artists have at least one or two dramas on average, not to mention related interrupted and unfinished projects.

Besides, isn't Xiaoma Pentium still alive?

They don't know about the future internal struggles. At present, it's just that the boss is gone, and the failure of the bet is more critical, but it's not a desperate situation, so many people still have confidence in Xiaoma Pentium.

Wei Yang continues to carry out his own publicity work with the crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 3".

However, information about Xiaoma Pentium was continuously sent to him, and even because of some insiders, he knew much more than the outside world.

At present, Xiaoma Pentium urgently put Li's widow in power, and the two sisters temporarily kept in line with their younger brothers and sisters.

The biggest opponent of the three people is Jianyin Culture, which was the capital introduced to Xiaoma Pentium by Dagou.

At that time, several capitals led by Jianyin Culture had a very high valuation of Xiaoma Pentium, injecting 750 million yuan, setting a record for the highest financing in China's film and television industry at that time, of which Jianyin Culture invested 450 million yuan, accounting for 15% of the shares.

But such generous financing conditions were not taken for nothing. Jianyin Culture signed a supplementary agreement at that time.

The general meaning is that if Xiaoma Pentium does not go public as scheduled, then Jianyin Culture has the right to require any of the three siblings of the Li family, the actual controller of Xiaoma Pentium, to purchase all the shares in their hands at one time.

To put it bluntly, this is a gambling agreement, which is also quite common in the industry.

South Beauty, owned by Da S's mother-in-law Zhan Lan, fell into a passive position because of similar treaties, and eventually let the wolf into the house, and was directly kicked out of the company she built.

Xiaoma Pentium was in great momentum at the time, and Da Gou had no objection to this and was very confident that the listing would be successful.

As a result, everyone knows that Xiaoma Pentium failed to go public, and his sudden death from an acute illness is also likely due to psychological pressure.

But the debts of the death of the person are not clear, and the high debt of this gambling agreement fell on his widow and two sisters.

Capital is ruthless. Jianyin Culture did not relax its debt collection because of Da Gou's death. On the contrary, they realized that Xiaoma Pentium's prospects were unclear, and they were eager to recover their blood and get out of it. The debt collection became more fierce, and they were even prepared to go to court and enforce it.

"Tsk tsk, it's cruel!"

The more Boss Wei understood this group of dirty capital, the more he felt that he was too kind-hearted, so that he seemed a little out of place.

At most, he picked up some talents and drank a few mouthfuls of blood, and he was ready to spend money to buy the projects and companies he was eyeing.

The real capital of others directly dug up the graves and bones, not only eating up the extinct families, but also forcing the orphans and widows to death. Compared with them, he was just a little white flower.

What made him feel even more outrageous was that in the face of the powerful enemy's step-by-step pressure, the two sisters of Da Gou were united on the surface, but in fact they were calculating all kinds of things behind the scenes.

First, they promoted the widow of the other party, took on the debt under fire, and then contacted Jianyin privately, preparing to jointly kick out this brother and sister and control the company.

The executive who reported the news to Wei Yang couldn't help but say that he was disappointed. He was ready to run away regardless of his reputation of "betraying the master in times of crisis".

"This is a common problem of family businesses."

Da Gou is a man of the world and values ​​feelings. This is his advantage. He has great personal charm and has attracted many talents, but it is also a flaw, one of which is that he lets too many family members participate in the company.

This has led to the ambiguity of the company's equity, and the executives have many family insiders.

He can suppress it when he is alive. Once an unexpected situation occurs, the real backbone of the company will be immediately excluded, and then the family will fight and fall apart.

Wei Yang believes that the actual benefits he has gained from the Xiaoma Pentium incident this time are far more than the planned talents, projects, subsidiaries, etc.

The most valuable thing is the various lessons he has learned from this company. It has played a good role in learning and alerting him.

Boss Wei sighed a little, but then again, the more chaotic the Xiaoma Pentium is, the better it is for him.

Whether it is talent or project, he can get it more easily, and he doesn't even need to dig them up. People take the initiative to invest, which makes Boss Wei feel more complicated. He secretly sent people to send mourning couplets and wreaths.

…

While Xiaoma Pentium was in a mess, the 2014 New Year's schedule officially kicked off.

On January 3, Zhong Hanliang's version of "Dragon Babu" was the first new drama to be broadcast this year, which caused countless complaints.

Korean Duan Yu, the creamy boy Qiao Feng on a skateboard, the most mediocre Wang Yuyan, the most noteworthy of the whole drama is Li Qiushui and her sister, because the crew invited Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan to guest star.

To be frank, the biggest contribution of this drama is to prove the success of Zhang Da Huzi's version of "Dragon Babu" in 2003.

Originally, everyone just thought that Wu Jun and Liu Tianxian played well, but when this drama was released, they were immediately praised.

However, what everyone didn't know at this time was that this drama was far from the lowest line of "Dragon Babu".

There will be a new "Tianlong Babu" in the future, and Duan Yu will pee when he sees the fairy sister.

By the way, this drama was filmed by Yu Rongguang. Wei Yang always felt that he was a good actor, but he was a bit of a ghost as a director.

Not only Duan Yu peeing, but also Dou Qi turning into a horse is his masterpiece...

As a Jin Yong drama, this "Tianlong Babu" has also been entrusted with great expectations by the outside world, but the reputation is sad.

However, the ratings are not bad, after all, the influence of Jin Yong's dramas is here.

Even though the performance of Jin Yong's dramas has been declining in recent years, it still has a wide influence. With the lineup and publicity in place, it is definitely a popular candidate in the same period.

The previous "Swordsman" by the dead girl broke through the siege with the novel setting of the oriental girl.

Although "Tianlong Babu" is known as a thunder drama this time, many people complain and curse, but it still has a large number of audiences supporting it, and the peak ratings once exceeded 1.

However, after all, it has more criticism than praise, and it is still worse than "Love Apartment 4".

The previous episodes of the "Love Apartment" series have already pushed this drama to the position of the most popular domestic sitcom, and it can even be said to be the most popular comedy. Even though there are many controversies, it still has countless fans.

It is rumored that the fourth season is the final episode of "Love Apartment", and it basically holds the original cast, so naturally there are a large number of fans and audiences supporting it.

This drama is also one of the best performing TV dramas at the beginning of the year, with a successful rating of 1, and once stabilized at around 1.2.

Don't underestimate this number. It has been half a year since the summer broadcast of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2", and now the ratings data is even more difficult.

Even in the stage of the big drama at the beginning of the year, breaking 1 is a data that can be ranked at the top.

The aforementioned "Tianlong Babu" adopts a graded package broadcast mode, adopts various operations, and finally only breaks 1 at the peak, and currently barely maintains around 0.8.

And as the reputation declines and other dramas are broadcast one after another, this data will continue to decline.

"A Generation of Heroes" starring Sun Honglei and Chen Shu has data similar to "Tianlong Babu", or even slightly lower.

After "The Hidden", Sun has not taken on any TV series for several years, except for "Men Gang" directed by his mentor Zhao Baogang.

This is his comeback TV series. It is said that the film company offered a sky-high price. According to industry reports, it is the second highest salary among TV male actors after Wei Yang.

The exact amount is not clear. Some say it is 650,000 per episode, and some say it is 800,000 per episode, but it is definitely not too low.

Because Sun took on another TV series at the same time, "The Second Gunner" directed by famous director Kang Honglei, it is rumored that Sun's salary is a package price of 23 million. Except for Wei Yang and those movie stars, no male actor can get this price.

Unfortunately, the box office reputation of "A Generation of Heroes" is not outstanding, and it is not known whether the film company will feel that the money is lost.

In addition, there is also a "Beauty of War" that performed well, starring Hong Kong young actors Chen Jianfeng and Shu Chang, which can barely compete with the previous dramas.

Apart from this, there is nothing to say about other dramas. There may be some highlights, but they are not enough to affect the situation of the entire schedule.

Since the broadcast of "Mufu Fengyun" and "Joy of Life 3" on January 6 and January 8, the opening schedule of the new year has become a two-person show.

To be more precise, "Joy of Life 3" has one schedule, "Mufu Fengyun" has one schedule, and all other dramas have one schedule.

Of the two dramas, "Mufu Fengyun" was broadcast first, and the broadcast platform was CCTV Channel 8, while Channel 1 was a main theme drama, which could not be easily snatched.

As mentioned before, the drama "Mufu Fengyun" has many highlights, one of which is that it revolves around the theme of the chieftains of the Ming Dynasty, which is a rare ancient minority theme.

At the same time, this is also an independent drama with a big female lead, which involves many elements such as love, revenge, and power struggle.

Therefore, a lot of highlights of the whole drama are on the heroine played by Liu Shishi, and the TV series also takes her as the main perspective at the beginning, slowly leading to the whole plot.

The plot is still very exciting, with the typical suspense and tension of Wang Juan, making the heroine fall into danger again and again, and then solve it profitably.

Although there are inevitably some Mary Sue halos, it does make people nervous and comfortable.

It is worth mentioning that, as mentioned earlier, the director of "Mufu Fengyun" is Yu Rongguang.

This person can not only fight with anger and turn horses, but also shoot classic works such as "Mufu Fengyun" and "Legend of Dance and Music", and his upper and lower limits are unpredictable.

Considering his few poor masterpieces, it is hard not to doubt the director, who relies heavily on the screenwriter's skills. At the same time, the Yunnan production team that cooperated with him in "Mufu Fengyun" and "Legend of Dance and Music" also made great contributions.

Under the super high popularity of Liu Shishi, and the bonus of CCTV's own platform.

The ratings of the first broadcast of "Mufu Fengyun" were extremely good, with an average rating of 1.49, ranking first on the same period of the day.

The most important thing is that in addition to the very impressive ratings, the reputation of "Mufu Fengyun" is also very outstanding, and it can even be said to be the best of the few dramas in the opening period of the year.

Before, after "Startling by Each Step" was broadcast, Liu Shishi's performances were good and bad.

Needless to say, the "Celebrating Yu Nian" series may get some help, but people will not attribute the success of this drama to her.

The data of "Xuanyuan Sword" itself is not bad, but the evaluation is mixed. For Liu Shishi, it is a work that stabilizes popularity and exposure, and it is quite satisfactory.

The worst one was "Startling Love", especially the loss in the head-on confrontation with Zhao, which made her lose face for a while.

At that time, it was also rumored that Liu Shishi's success was somewhat accidental, and that she was so popular purely because of her good luck, and she was not confident enough to carry the project alone.

This statement is definitely biased, and it is even obvious that it is a mess, but some people do believe it.

This time, "Mu Mansion Storm" not only made Liu Shishi's heroine route take a solid and successful step, but also shattered these doubts.

CCTV heroine!

The big drama at the beginning of the year!

The first broadcast ratings were about 1.5!

These words are enough to silence everyone, and the subsequent broadcast of "Celebrating Yu Nian 3" made Liu Shishi soar and dominate the industry...
