Chapter 182: The Whampoa Military Academy of the Media Industry
The female artists didn't care about Deng Chao joining.
They cared about someone else.
Li Chen knew what they were thinking.
“One more thing, Fan Bingbing will not be joining our Rongchen Film and Television.”
“None of you need to discuss it in private anymore.”
Li Chen’s words dispelled the concerns in the hearts of the female artists.
After speaking, he even glanced at Yang Mi.
Yang Mi pursed her lips into a smile and lowered her head.
A few days ago, she had sent several messages to her senior.
Asking him if Fan Bingbing was also joining the company.
Her senior hadn't replied to her.
She had thought he was tacitly agreeing.
She sighed inwardly, lamenting that the company would soon have another strong competitor.
Unexpectedly, it was a false alarm.
But Li Chen’s next words made all the artists, male and female, present, unsettled.
All the artists present secretly thought that Fan Bingbing was planning to join Orange Sky Entertainment.
The media widely rumored that Fan Bingbing's next destination would either be Rongchen Film and Television or Orange Sky Entertainment.
Combining this with the boss's casting for father's love 2, they all assumed Fan Bingbing would come.
Now that the boss had denied this possibility, only Orange Sky Entertainment, with her godmother, remained.
Li Chen smiled and stopped keeping them in suspense: “She’s not joining anyone, she plans to go solo.”
“She wants to open her own studio and asked me to invest in her, but I didn’t agree.”
The artists were all astonished, never expecting Fan Bingbing to have such ambition.
And she even wanted to pull the boss in to invest in her?
Joking aside, the boss isn't a benevolent person, and he isn't short on money, is he?
Several people simultaneously glanced at Yang Siwei.
Everyone knew that Yang Siwei had been very busy with Fan Bingbing's affairs.
They never expected such a result in the end.
“Don’t look at me like that. My personal relationship with Fan Bingbing was also based on the premise of her joining our company.”
“Now that she has chosen to go solo, we are just ordinary friends.”
Li Chen smiled and said, “The purpose of telling you all this today is nothing else.”
“In the future, if your contracts expire and you also want to go solo…”
Li Chen's gaze swept over the artists.
From Zhou Xun to Yang Mi, they all felt a strange panic.
One by one, they all thought to themselves, is the boss giving us a warning?
Seeing that they were all a bit nervous.
Li Chen chuckled, then changed the subject and said, “If you also want to go solo, I will invest in you and provide support in resources, channels, and connections.”
Everyone was stunned to hear this.
Yang Mi’s small mouth was slightly open, unable to close for a long time.
Her mind was still a bit slow to process it.
How could it be such a result?
Li Chen ignored their astonished expressions and continued, “But the premise is that I believe you have the ability and strength to go out and work independently.”
“From the current situation, only Zhou Xun has this qualification.”
“The rest of you, including Deng Chao, should honestly accumulate a few more years of experience first.”
The atmosphere in the conference room relaxed.
Zhu Yawen laughed and said, “I’m quite content with my current situation. Even if you told me to go solo, I wouldn’t.”
Zhu Yawen really thought that way.
He didn't have much ambition.
Under Rongchen Film and Television, to put it plainly, it was like a big tree providing good shade; he didn't need to worry about anything and could just relax.
But Li Chen's words resonated with Yang Mi and Deng Chao.
One of them was able to unilaterally terminate her contract with Rongxinda, taking a gamble by signing with Rongchen Film and Television.
The other had also already eyed his next destination.
Both were people with their own plans.
What Li Chen said today.
It was as if he had pointed out their future development path.
And Fan Bingbing was just a pathfinder.
After the meeting, Li Chen kept Yang Siwei and Wu Bin.
He let the other artists leave first.
With the three remaining, Li Chen revealed another company development plan.
“Siwei, starting this year, I’ve decided to separate the artist management business from the company.”
“We’ll establish a media company, and you’ll be the general manager.”
Yang Siwei laughed and said, “Boss, I’m with you for life.”
“Even if you kick me out, I won’t leave.”
Wu Bin chuckled, “Siwei, Director Li isn’t kicking you out; Director Li is letting you take charge.”
“The new media company will be a subsidiary of Rongchen Film and Television.”
Li Chen nodded: “That’s right, that’s what I mean. I hope you can build this media company into the Whampoa Military Academy of the media industry.”
“Driven by goals, independently discover talented newcomers.”
“Once they have the strength, like Zhou Xun, then support them in opening their own studios.”
“I will fully support you from behind. What Shiba Culture, Huayi Brothers Media.”
“In front of our newly established media company, they will all be fleeting.”
“I’ve already thought of the company’s name; it will be called Yixin Media.”
Yang Siwei murmured, “Yixin Media, a good name, I like this name.”
“Alright then, Boss, since you're so confident, I'll go all out and give it a try.”
“Anyway, with you backing me up, I’m not afraid of anything.”
Li Chen chuckled, “There’s nothing to be afraid of in the first place.”
After handling company matters, Li Chen returned to the villa.
He hadn't seen Miss Liu for about ten days.
In the villa, a young couple engaged in unrestrained intimacy all night.
The result proved the saying: only a bull that dies from plowing, never a field that dies from being plowed.
Miss Liu once again had the last laugh.
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains.
Li Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw Miss Liu sleeping soundly.
Her lips were still slightly upturned, dreaming a sweet dream, he didn't know what.
Li Chen kneaded Miss Liu's chest once.
Miss Liu didn't even open her eyes, but instinctively and skillfully brushed away Li Chen's 'devil's claw' as if swatting a fly.
Li Chen chuckled to himself, then lightly patted Miss Liu's perky buttocks.
Then he got up, got out of bed, and covered her with the blanket.
He couldn't help but sigh, men truly have a hard life!
He had worked hard plowing his own field all night.
And then he still had to get up early to struggle outside.
Today, he had an appointment with Megga to review his revised script for the message.
Arriving at the company early, Li Chen instructed his assistant to bring Megga directly to his office when he arrived.
Li Chen looked at the recent news online.
Fan Bingbing was on the headlines again.
But it wasn't because the movie apple was nominated for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival.
It was because of Fan Bingbing's attire when she performed on stage at the Oriental Ceremony the day before yesterday.
Looking at the truly eye-catching headline on Sina.
“Fan Bingbing’s revealing performance pays tribute to Gong Li in curse of the golden flower.”
The headline was indeed accurate.
With Fan Bingbing in that red dress with a revealing bust, her chest like two white jade moutou, who would still be in the mood to listen to her sing?
She was no less impressive than Gong Li in curse of the golden flower.
A moment later, Megga arrived.
After receiving the script, Li Chen stated that he would make some necessary changes based on the needs of the film and television production.
Megga had no objections, but he also wanted to review it again after the revisions.
