Chapter 203: Change is Coming
Transformers not only had a strong box office, but also set a record for the number of theaters participating in the midnight screening.
In Beijing alone, twenty cinemas participated in the midnight screening of Transformers.
Not only that, Transformers broke the record of "Painted Skin" for the fastest box office of 100 million.
In just four days of its first week, the box office exceeded 9800 million.
We will see the revenue break 100 million on Monday.
The box office of "Painted Skin 2" finally stopped at 2.15 million.
This data is nothing to Rongchen Pictures.
But it has already attracted the attention of most film and television companies and directors.
In July, there is another money-making monster called Transformers that attracts attention.
Rongchen Pictures is still the brightest star.
Li Chen convened a high-level meeting of Rongchen Pictures.
Announce the decision to set up a brokerage company in public.
The news was then announced through the media and Rongchen Pictures’ official website.
The new company is named Yi Xin Media, and Yang Siwei, former publicity director of Rongchen Pictures, will be the general manager.
He was fully responsible for the operation and management of the new company, and the office address was chosen in Soho Modern City.
As soon as the news was released, there was an uproar in the circle and on the Internet.
As soon as Wanmanmi terminated its contract with Orange Sky, Orange Sky established Shijiu Culture.
Nineteen, eighteen.
The implication is self-evident, which is to suppress Wang Jingyan's Eighteen Culture.
It has been rumored in the circle that Wang Jingyan is very dissatisfied and wants to repeat the scene of leaving Huayi in 05 and empty Orange Sky.
Although Orange Sky executives came out to clarify.
The main business direction of Shijiu is to operate new people.
But in fact, the predecessor of Orange Sky 19 was the Beijing Star Taste Entertainment Agency founded by Wang Jing from Hong Kong Island.
Among the company's contracted artists, there is the "Golden Horse Film Queen" and Hong Kong's veteran beauty Li Lizhen.
The other five are newcomers.
Although the daily operations of Shijiu are handled by Wang Jingqian.
But how can you be in charge of two brokerage companies with the same business at the same time?
Wang Jingyan proposed to merge the two brokerage companies.
Of course Cheng Tian disagreed.
Wang Jingyun simply ignored number 19 and focused on taking care of number 18.
Eighteen and nineteen were in constant dispute.
Fan Qiaoqiao then set up his own studio, Fan Qiaoqiao Studio.
At this critical juncture, the giant Rongchen Pictures stepped in again.
He actually took the initiative to support the young man Yang Siwei to establish Yi Xin Media!
If this happened to an ordinary person, I'm afraid no one would pay attention.
But when it comes to Rongchen Pictures and Leonardo DiCaprio, it is like a thunderbolt in the entertainment industry.
It happened completely out of nowhere and everyone was stunned.
Since the news was released, Li Chen and Yang Siwei have been receiving calls non-stop.
"Siwei, congratulations." There was some complicated emotion in Wang Jingyan's voice.
There is both envy and emotion.
"Thank you, Sister Hua. It was my boss who pushed me forward. I really want to be a publicity director in the company."
"After all, it's nice to be under a big tree and take shelter from the elements. If I go out, it won't be as easy as it is under the boss. I'll need Sister Hua to take care of me in the future."
Wang Jingyan smiled and said, "With Director Li taking care of us, why would we need others to do anything unnecessary? Just do your best. I have high hopes for you."
Yang Siwei is building a relationship with Wang Jingyan.
Li Chen also exchanged information with Han Sanping.
"You kid, you always make false claims without making any noise. Huayi and Chengtian should be nervous when you come in."
Li Chen laughed: "They are nervous, it has nothing to do with me."
"I only do what I think is right, and Yang Siwei has the ability to do so."
"I told her that when I recruited her."
"I will not be the second Wang Jingyan, but the unique Yang Siwei. Now it has been almost five years, and I can say that I have fulfilled my original promise."
Han Sanping snorted twice: "Not only Huayi and Chengtian are uncomfortable, but others are also uncomfortable."
Li Chen asked curiously: "Who else?"
Han Sanping smiled and said, "You are not an outsider, so it's okay for me to tell you." "I am the middleman. Yu Dong and Lao Yang are also going to set up a brokerage company together with Chenglong?"
Li Chen's heart moved, and he understood clearly.
It seems that Bona Yinglong will be launched soon.
Yang Siwei’s blog is full of jokes from celebrities.
"From now on you can't call me Siwei anymore, you have to call me Mr. Yang!"
"I'm used to calling you Siwei. What should I do? Mr. Yang will feel more confident calling me Xiaofan from now on!"
"Boss Yang, what do you think of my terms? You will definitely not lose out if you sign me."
"Lao Luo, just stop it. What's the matter? Director Li doesn't want you, so you sneak into Mr. Yang's group and try to achieve the same goal by different means?"
Sina Entertainment News
"The establishment of Yixin Media will break the situation of Huayi and Chengtian competing for hegemony. The situation is changing suddenly, and the era of three kingdoms competing for hegemony is coming."
Netizens are discussing it hotly.
"What a bullshit Three Kingdoms war. Sooner or later, Leo will dominate the world."
"What do agencies compete for? First of all, it's resources. With Rongchen Pictures as their backing, and Zhou Xun's recent high-profile signing, who can compete with Rongchen Pictures?"
"Even though Chengtian hired Wang Jingyan in the past two years, it still had to rely on Rongchen Pictures for support. It almost collapsed midway through the production of Red Cliff!"
"Chengtian has no content, and Huayi can't even compete with it, so how can it challenge Rongchen Pictures? That's like lighting a lamp in the toilet!"
"The Huayi brothers were also overwhelmed by Leo. Even the combination of Zhang Dapao and Lao Mouzi could not withstand Leo's kingly fist!"
Huayi Headquarters.
"Brother, this bastard is really trying to take advantage of everyone, leaving no room for maneuver!"
Wang Zhongjun was not angry: "Who told him to be rich! Put yourself in his shoes, isn't it the same for you and me from the beginning of our business till now?"
"But I didn't expect that he was so generous and let go and support Yang Siwei to start his own business."
"Brother, we need to speed up our listing plan."
Yang Siwei instantly became the object of everyone's pursuit, not just the artists.
"Boss, many artists actually asked me if they could invest?"
Li Chen smiled and said, "I don't care about that. You can decide for yourself about the shares given to you."
Yang Siwei also laughed and said, "I'm not stupid!"
The QQ group of Rongchen Films artists was also discussing this matter.
"In the future, are we considered to be members of Yixin Media or Rongchen Pictures?"
"Why worry so much? They are all Director Li's people!"
"Don't think too much. Your agency contract is still with Rongchen Pictures, but I'm still in charge." Yang Siwei jumped out and said.
“But Deng Chao will be the first artist signed by One Heart Media.”
The establishment of Yi Xin Media has attracted many artists.
In particular, Rongchen Pictures promised not to interfere with Yang Siwei's management.
Only financial and resource support will be provided.
Then this company is no different from an independent company.
Isn’t this the result that Wang Jingyan wants most?
The comments from netizens are heartbreaking.
“Some people dream of something for years, but others get it without much effort.”
“I wonder who will be the first artist signed by One Heart Media.”
Zhou Jielun's "The Secret" and Zhen Zidan's "Flash Point" also began intensive publicity.
The invitation to the premiere was sent to Rongchen Pictures.
Li Chen asked Yang Siwei to go by himself, so he decided not to go.
Zhou Xun's single is about to be released.
I've been busy coordinating with Warner's single release conference recently.
Many people are paying attention to the debut of Zhou Xun, the leading artist under Rongchen Films, who is returning to the music scene after four years.
Many people were waiting to see Li Chen make a fool of himself.
Not satisfied with being the only one in the film and television industry, he also wants to visit the music industry whenever he has time.
If it weren’t for the fact that they signed with Warner, those mainland musicians would have come out to brag about it a long time ago.
Warner is very efficient. It only took half a month from recording to release of Zhou Xun’s single.
