Chapter 446: Anti-Egg Alliance, Shaoyu Plan
What do people do when they hate someone so much?
Naturally, he wanted to take revenge and go back.
But what will you do if your own power cannot achieve the purpose of revenge?
It’s simple, find a helping hand.
As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend, not to mention those who have experienced the same thing.
Just when the junior students at Xu Xiyu's alma mater were looking forward to the arrival of the "legendary senior".
On the other side, prominent figures who thought they had been tricked by Xu Xiyu gathered in a club in the capital.
There is Qi Xiangyang, chairman of Donghai Media, who poached Huaqing and made all well-known Huaqing directors and artists quit.
There is Du Yuxiong, the boss of Taiwanese media, who originally invested in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" but was squeezed out by Chen Peiduo. He can only drool at the box office of more than 3 billion and regret that the duck he got is gone.
There was Wu Youjin, the owner of Xiangjiang Queen Entertainment, who was so angry that Xu Xiyu and Cheng Guangzu were angry to death.
There was also Mr. Mao Gaojun who fell into the gutter of Bu Zhaojie and spent a lot of effort to get out.
In addition to them, there are also some seniors in the industry who have never interacted with Xu Xiyu, as well as Zhang Yujiao and Lu Ye who recently returned from Venice.
That's right, Zhang Yujiao and Lu Ye shook hands and made peace.
To be precise, they were forced to shake hands and make peace. Seniors in the entertainment industry intervened and asked them to stop fighting among themselves. If the internal fighting continues, the pattern of the mainland entertainment industry will be completely broken.
Here comes the problem.
What is the structure of the entertainment industry?
As mentioned a long time ago, Blue Star China has many "hilltops" in domestic entertainment, such as the famous Beijing Circle, Shanghai Circle, Northwest Gang, Northeast Gang, and "New Capital".
Strictly speaking, Hua Qing was considered one of the "Beijing circle" before Xu Xiyu took over. Ke Xinying had always introduced him this way when they first met.
But after Xu Xiyu took over, he ignored this issue at all.
Those "employers", "famous directors", "famous actors", and "famous behind-the-scenes" people in the Beijing circle were waiting around, but they couldn't wait for Xu Xiyu to come to "pay homage" and actively integrate into this big family.
This made many people quite dissatisfied with Xu Xiyu.
People who are not in this industry may not understand that these people dare to be dissatisfied with the management?
Are you a little confused about the big and small kings?
But this is not the case, and the reasons behind it are somewhat complicated to explain.
In layman’s terms, it’s just one sentence: if you want to do something, you don’t just have money, you also need talents in the industry to do it.
It's like the coal bosses in the past had money. They could invest in other people's movies, but they didn't have the ability to make movies themselves. If they wanted to make money from movies, they needed to rely on excellent film and television practitioners.
So, here comes the problem.
What does it mean to be an excellent film and television practitioner?
For example, there are two choices on earth right now. One is "The Three-Body Problem" starring the successful team of Guo Fan and a group of actors with strong box office appeal such as Wu Jing and Shen Teng.
One is the project "Arrival" starring Shen Qi starring Guo Ji's team. Who will the investors choose?
What, you ask, who are Guo Ji and Shen Qi, and what is "Arrival"?
No matter who he is, when investors have this doubt in their minds, they already know who to choose and the probability of making money is high.
Capital is profit-seeking and risk-averse.
Due to the characteristics of entertainment products, the ways to reduce risks are very limited. Most of them are achieved by finding "famous directors", "famous actors" and "famous IP" and supplemented by channels and marketing.
In this case, it is the employer who should beg Guo Wuchen, not Guo Wuchen who begs the employer.
All in all, in any industry, there are only a few talents, and high-quality human resources are the key to supporting the industry.
Relying on the chains of "qualifications", "resources", "schools" and "region", a large number of high-quality human resources in the industry have united around certain seniors, forming "circles".
The leaders of these circles, relying on these human resources, have gained the ability to dialogue with many high-level forces, including Hu Ningtian, and some have also gained channels for communicating with overseas.
Their status, ability to influence the industry structure, and attraction to the new generation of human resources are derived from this, forming a cycle and network of relationships.
This is called the “pattern” of internal entertainment.
Similarly, after enjoying the dividends brought by this pattern, they are also eager to maintain this status quo.
Not only are the seniors eager, but there are also some "bastards" who have limited abilities but have gained status by hanging out in the circle, and they don't want this pattern to be broken, because once it is broken, they will not be able to survive.
In this case, Xu Xiyu is quite eye-catching!
In the eyes of Blue Star people, when he first took over Huaqing, he was a new "coal boss", even a not-so-rich coal boss.
According to industry experience, if he wants to open up the situation at this time, he must make friends with his seniors, so as to obtain high-quality "human resources" support.
But he didn't pay attention to his seniors, and he found a bunch of unknown people to make movies and TV series. And make money by filming one film.
This is simply incomprehensible and unacceptable.
What they couldn't accept even more was that even though Xu Xiyu invested in other companies, he made it clear that he didn't want to talk to his seniors, and the seniors didn't want to use him around.
He wants to start his own business!
Is this okay? !
The entertainment industry is so big. If you, Xu Xiyu, succeed in establishing your own network, everyone will unite around you and follow you.
What are we seniors from the original sect still doing?
Can we still enjoy the dividends while staying in the original "pattern"?
More importantly, can we still have the right to interpret "cultural and entertainment aesthetics"?
Can we still set the standards for this industry?
These are all quite fatal and are digging into the roots of these seniors.
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Yujiao and Lu Ye were unable to take care of themselves due to Xu Xiyu's troubles in Venice, the seniors in the circles in Jingcheng and Shanghai, the two most powerful regions, reached a consensus.
Let Xu Xiyu relent, return the film project to the Beijing circle, and return the TV series to the Shanghai circle, and continue to maintain the structure of the industry.
However, based on everyone's understanding of Xu Xiyu in the past few years, everyone feels that he will never give in. Therefore, before Xu Xiyu truly becomes a giant, give him a painful beating first, and then make him submissive.
This behavior is privately called "Zhaoyu".
Xu Xiyu soon learned about this matter. Du Yuxiong, the "ghost" of the "anti-egg alliance", told him.
Of course, Du Yuxiong's ability to become a mole was actually tacitly approved by the Anti-Egg Alliance.
Asking Du Yuxiong to reveal the news to Xu Xiyu was a clear threat and a big stick.
If you, Xu Xiyu, are sensible, don't wait for everyone to take action. Now "come down with courtesy and still retain your status as a prince."
And when Xu Xiyu told her lover and partner in Beijing, Yang Xueqing, about this.
Yang Xueqing's first reaction was: "What the hell, to destroy the alliance? A plan to fail? Do they still want to win? Who will get the name?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiyu immediately became happy.
Moreover, he couldn't stop being happy at all. He was still a little stressed at first, but now that Yang Xueqing said this, he suddenly felt that the stress was gone.
Seeing that he was happy, Yang Xueqing curled her lips again and said: "A group of old bangers, it seems that they are very capable. They can take care of themselves when they are old, and they are still in trouble. Let me see if they are beaten!"
"Hahahaha, actually, I have already fought with them once." Xu Xiyu suppressed a smile and said.
"When?" Yang Xueqing was stunned when she heard this.
"While in Venice." Xu Xiyu replied. In fact, he had already realized this while chatting with Nancy Walton in Venice.
In a market dominated by stocks and decreasing increments, your own rise will inevitably be accompanied by a decrease in the interests of others.
Although I have consciously taken some companies to play, it is far from enough.
What some people want is to be their "grandson" for 10 years first, and then their "son" for 10 years, and then finally it is up to them to decide whether to let them take over.
Instead of riding directly on top of everyone's heads like now.
This has nothing to do with personal emotions, it is an inevitable struggle between new forces and old forces.
Thinking of this, he continued: "What Lu Ye represents is not him personally, but a film and television aesthetic that belongs to the established forces. They are used to gaining overseas influence through filming the dark side.
And this influence is what many practitioners, especially actors, pursue. But this time "Night Without Dawn" lost, and it was a huge defeat. ”
People are path dependent and their abilities are limited.
Just like Zhang Yimou and his bunch of famous directors on earth can't understand science fiction movies. The group of people represented by Lu Yeqi also don't know how to make other types of movies.
When the film types they are familiar with fail to take off and the market for new types of films expands, it means that their influence is slowly disappearing, and their careers are even ending.
Again, people who have enjoyed the dividends cannot accept this.
Yang Xueqing can definitely understand this truth, so she asked with some worry: "Then what should we do?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiyu got up and walked to the window.
Looking at the scenery in the distance, he turned his back to Yang Xueqing and said in a calm tone: "It's a head-to-head fight, with real swords and guns. It doesn't matter how long it takes. If he wins, he will be the number one in domestic entertainment. His surname will be Xu." ! ”
"What if you lose?"
"I won't lose."
