Chapter 308 Times Have Changed

ps. I originally wanted to use this plot to arrange for Luo Quan to be completely disappointed with the domestic entertainment industry environment step by step, and decide to become a capital on his own. However, judging from the reaction, everyone does not like to watch domestic ones, so these things can only be cut off, and I will try my best to do so in the future. Write less about the domestic entertainment industry.

Thanks also to everyone for your suggestions on this part of the plot.

Although Luo Quan himself is not afraid of these people and believes that Boss Zhou can handle them, Luo Quan still has to call Boss Zhou to make preparations just in case.

However, as soon as Luo Quan found Zhou Yangwen's name in his address book, he called him himself.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Luo Quan, are you free? I have something to tell you."

"I'm about to find you too." Luo Quan smiled.

"Looking for me." Zhou Yangwen paused for a moment, and then immediately responded: "Is Baixi looking for you?"

"A middle-aged man called me and asked me to take the initiative to clarify and reconcile with Bai Xi, but I refused. Then he threatened to ask Wen Xia and I to be careful to avoid bad luck."

Zhou Yangwen sneered after hearing this: "This person is really a rat, running around everywhere."

"He also called you? Do you know him?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

"We know him. He does have some strength, but that's all because of old history." Zhou Yangwen smiled softly and told Luo Quan the background behind Bai Xi.

It turns out that the so-called background behind Baixi is Huayi Company, which was once the largest comprehensive entertainment group in China. Its industry covers movies, TV series, music and other lines, and it has a lot of first-line big names.

At the peak of Huayi Company, most of the entertainment industry had to look at its face, and its market value once exceeded hundreds of billions. In the early second decade of the 21st century, the titles of most theater movies, except Longbiao, The one that appears the most is Huayi Company’s logo.

However, after the boss of this company made his fortune in the entertainment industry, he suddenly carried out industrial transformation and invested huge sums of money in the cultural tourism industry. As a result, he lost all his money within three years.

At the same time, the movies invested by Huayi Company are constantly bad, and their box office and reputation have plummeted. All the contracted artists who can escape have fled, and only a few loyal ones are still staying.

Up to now, the market value of Huayi Company has shrunk to 10 billion. In China's increasingly large entertainment market, it is only second-rate, and most of its artists are not on the stage.

Bai Xi is a highly praised and successful artist of Huayi Company in recent years. He has appeared in many of the company's few good movies and won a lot of scenes.

And Bai Xi himself has indeed lived up to his expectations. He has been recognized by the audience for his ability, and his popularity has been rising all the way. He is now a top-notch actor in the country.

Compared with the past, Huayi Company is definitely no longer able to dominate the entertainment industry as it was back then, but most of the time, people in the industry are willing to give Huayi Company face. In other words, Huayi Company is still very happy now.

The reason for this is not only because of the favors accumulated back then, but also because of the backers behind Huayi Company.

More than ten years ago, it was almost impossible to become famous in the entertainment industry without a backer. Unlike now, a proper hype could spread throughout the country.

Many big names in the entertainment industry actually have big capital as their backers, and Huayi Company can be called a capital backer, so naturally it only has power.

It is said that the two bosses of Huayi Company are actually white gloves from a small circle called "Jingquan". They were originally supported by a group of third-generation H people to earn pocket money. As a result, Huayi Company relied on the influence of Jingquan. , has always been successful in the entertainment industry, and quickly became bigger and stronger.

However, during its heyday, some minor problems arose, causing the company to plummet in a very short period of time.

But for those in the Beijing circle, this money-making tool is still easy to use, and after all, it is the entertainment industry. In addition to making money, you can also get other benefits, so the actual backing of Huayi Company is actually quite big.

However, as an Internet giant, Penguin is certainly true to the so-called Beijing circle. It is impossible for several giant businessmen to develop to this point without official endorsement.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yangwen immediately returned the favor after being threatened.

As for Luo Quan, although her grandfather's group is also an international giant, it is foreign capital after all and has limited influence. Even if he wants to help her, it is probably beyond his reach.

If Luo Quan is a signed artist of Penguin, then Zhou Yangwen will definitely help her without any bottom line, but the key is that Luo Quan is not currently signed, so the situation is a little more complicated.

Emotionally speaking, Luo Quan has cooperated with Penguin so many times and has such a good relationship with Zhou Yangwen, so it is natural for him to help him with a little help.

But the problem is, those in the Beijing Circle are not ordinary people. Penguin can deal with it, but it is impossible to take the initiative to offend them.

As for Luo Quan, self-protection may be okay, but forcing them to apologize without external intervention is probably a fantasy.

Penguin can use this matter to get Luo Quan to sign a contract with them, so that they can legitimately ask Huayi Company to give an explanation. When the time comes, it will be a fight or a draw, and the initiative will be easier to grasp.

But this would be a bit suspicious of taking advantage of others, and it would be more than worth the gain to make Luo Quan feel disgusted.

Therefore, after Zhou Yangwen made the stakes clear to Luo Quan, he did not force her to sign a contract with Penguin. He only said that the choice was in her own hands, and she would definitely not sit idly by if she could help.

But it would be unrealistic to want Penguin to go to war with Huayi Company directly.

Huayi Company itself is actually not worth mentioning, but the forces behind it are indeed quite troublesome, and they will definitely not be provoked if they can.

To sum up, if Huayi Company wants to deal with Luo Quan, then Penguin will definitely help. But if Luo Quan wants to deal with Huayi Company, if they don't sign a contract, then there will be nothing they can do to help.

Luo Quan is actually very satisfied that Zhou Yangwen can do this. She actually doesn't insist on Huayi Company to give her an explanation. She just doesn't like to be inexplicably involved in other people's scandals and public opinions.

She herself has no desires or desires in the industry. She doesn't take advantage of any star's popularity, and she doesn't like anyone who takes advantage of it.

In fact, there have been conflicts with other celebrities before, but this is the first time I have encountered someone like Bai Xi who directly took advantage of her.

I was definitely angry, but after I calmed down, I felt there was no need to keep fighting.

In short, Wen Xia and the others should not have much trouble, and as for herself, self-protection does not have much problem.

Huayi Company's influence is mainly in the film industry, and no matter how many connections it has, it cannot affect a single singer.

The only thing you need to be wary of is whether these people will do anything out of the ordinary, such as making up fake news on the Internet to smear her, which is also a common way to destroy people in the entertainment industry.

However, Luo Quan thought to himself that his past was clean, and his past from elementary school to university had been completely wiped out by anti-fans.

It is estimated that these people will start from her future words and deeds at school or online, so in the next few days, she will have to be very careful about her every move and not leave any excuse for these people.

After thanking Zhou Yangwen, Luo Quan hung up the phone.

I looked through the address book on my phone and found that the only ones in China were my grandparents, parents, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Cheng, Wen Xia, Junzi, Yoona, Director Wu, and Chanel Lisa. The only ones I really had contact with at work were just a few. four people.

As a star who has been famous for a long time, her social circle does seem relatively thin.

As the old saying goes, many friends lead to many paths. With her current fame and popularity in the industry, if she wants to make friends, she should be able to easily make a lot of friends. Maybe they are superficial friends, or maybe there are people who can help her. A friend who speaks out for justice.

But it doesn't matter anymore. No matter what happens, you need to face it yourself, and now she is not afraid of anything.

"Have you finished chatting?" Lin Yizhu came up to him at this time and asked when he saw Luo Quan looking at the phone in a daze.

The dormitory was only so big, so everyone could actually hear what Luo Quan said clearly.

In fact, there is nothing to avoid. Everyone in the dormitory will enter this circle in the future, and sooner or later they will have to face this.

"We're done talking. The situation is good or bad. Bai Xi's backer is Huayi Company."

"Didn't this company go bankrupt?" Lin Yizhu said after thinking about it carefully. She had heard of this company, but later she heard that Huayi was not managed well, its stock price plummeted, and several investment projects went bankrupt.

After finishing the search, Zhang Yun said: "It hasn't collapsed yet, but its assets have shrunk too much compared to before. It can barely be considered a first-tier entertainment company."

Lu Yao added: "I am not as rich and powerful as before, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and I have a backer, so..."

Luo Quan smiled: "Don't worry too much. These people definitely can't do anything to me at the moment. They may find ways to discredit me or add insult to injury in the future."

It does sound aggrieved, but in fact the Baixi side is also aggrieved.

Luo Quan was just disgusted, but Bai Xi was actually killed by Feng Ping. Just the hot search "What exactly does Luo Quan want from you?" almost destroyed his perfect idol character.

In the past, in the industry, he was known as the "golden boy", a rising star and a candidate for film and television big names.

But in front of a real goddess, the gap is quite obvious. When there is no comparison, you are your male god and I am my goddess.

But when Zhen Fang compared them together, he found that the gap between the two people who were similar in age was really huge. If Luo Quan was a boy, he would beat Bai Xi in every aspect.

What’s funny is that when the scandal between the two first started to spread, Bai Xi’s fans thought Luo Quan was not worthy of their idol. But when the matter became a big deal and more and more passers-by began to pay attention, Bai Xi became a fan of Luo Quan. The one who climbs the high branches.

Luo Quan didn't lose much, and the goddess persona was more solidified. However, Bai Xi lost a lot of popularity this time, and he didn't know how much charity work he had to do to clean it up.

And if there is any rhythm in the future, the old things will definitely be brought up again, including Luoquan fans who will add insult to injury.

In fact, although she was a victim, she also became the biggest winner. Bai Xi stole the chicken but lost the rice, which contributed a lot of popularity to her. In addition, she got her first meme since her debut, which was "Luo Luo". What does Quan want from you?".

In fact, I have to thank Junko properly. If it weren't for her, this sentence probably wouldn't have become a meme.

Nowadays, netizens are very enthusiastic about using this sentence pattern. They can see this sentence everywhere, and it is likely to become a hot word on the Internet of the year. Luo Quan's name will also be mentioned all the time because of the popularity of this sentence pattern.

She couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but even if it was a bad thing, she would definitely not thank Bai Xi. If she had a chance to meet him in the future, she would have to tell him properly.

The heavy rain lasted from noon to evening. During this period, the school originally wanted the freshmen to put on raincoats and go to the playground to continue training. However, considering that autumn has just begun and autumn tigers are rampant, for the sake of the health of the students, the school still allowed the freshmen to wear raincoats. Had a half day off.

After the announcement, the students in each class naturally celebrated.

Luo Quan was in the dormitory and didn't wait for Bai Xi's apology. It was probably raining too hard outside and he was afraid of catching a cold, so he didn't come.

If Bai Xi really came over in the rain to apologize with a more sincere attitude, Luo Quan might just pretend that the incident never happened and let it go.

But one can only think about this matter. How could a big shot like this be possible if he has tens of millions of fans?

In the evening, as the showers began to subside, several girls from the dormitory walked into the cafeteria wearing slightly cooler clothes.

Although it has already entered autumn, everyone's clothes are still not much different from summer. Many sophomores and juniors even wear T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops. Their styles are quite free and uninhibited. Some are even from the acting department. He doesn't seem to care at all about his own image management.

Girls are much more formal. Even if they go out for a meal, they have to dress up beautifully. What's more, in an art university like Shangyi, wearing makeup when going out is a mandatory requirement.

Luo Quan has not been transformed, but she is more beautiful than if she had been transformed.

But I'm afraid not many people will come to her tonight to ask to be added as a friend on WeChat, because her face is as cold as a piece of ice, and the word "unhappy" is almost written all over her face.

There was nothing she could do. If she didn't show off her face, anyone would dare to come up to her. It would be fine if they just wanted to sign autographs and take photos. If it was like Bai Xi, she wouldn't bother to come to see a few more.

He simply made his expression more fierce and looked like he was inaccessible to strangers.

So far, the effect seems to be quite good. Several boys wanted to come over and strike up a conversation, but when they saw her face, they froze in place and did not dare to come close. It seemed that they were afraid of being scolded or beaten.

After all, Luo Quan is famous for his talk and fists.

However, as the school is so big, there will always be people who are not afraid of death, but this man who is not afraid of death does not seem to be here to strike up a conversation.
