Chapter 1731 Three People's Night Talk

"Xiao Li..."

"Hey, what drama have you been busy with lately?"

Gu Xi smiled and warmly embraced the curvaceous Yuan Shen, whose 1.72-meter-tall figure surpassed that of the 1.68-meter-tall Hu Ji.

She wore an expensive pinkish-purple V-neck tulle dress, her figure graceful and slender, her curves undulating, and her long, white legs beneath the dress were perfectly rounded like cylinders, making her incredibly sexy.

Rere had already showered and was wearing a khaki backless dress, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin like beautiful jade. The loose neckline revealed her two magnificent, full, snow-white breasts, making her a radiant and voluptuous beauty, a truly stunning woman.

The two beauties greeted each other with an embrace, a truly picturesque scene.

Re Re took Gu Xi Xi's hand and they sat down on the sofa together. Re Re, with her carefree nature, didn't notice the alluring charm of Princess Xi Xi, and said:

"Recently, Qinghan Culture and Phoenix Film and Television have both started producing ancient costume idol dramas. I have gotten a pretty good supporting role in these S-level dramas."

She graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and due to her family connections, she was able to enter the circle of "Fudan's Flowers" like Sister Ziyu and Sister Xixi.

She knew very well that these kinds of historical romance dramas lacked logic and featured characters with very low intelligence. Things like defeating a powerful boss with love, or waiting three thousand years just to fall in love, etc.

Therefore, she was a little embarrassed to talk about specific projects and plots in front of Sister Xixi, and only mentioned that her current resources were good.

"That's fine!" Gu Xixi nodded, picked up the teapot to pour tea, and the fragrant aroma filled the air as she smiled and said:

"Xiao Li, how's it going with your negotiations with those female celebrities' agencies on behalf of Brother Jing?"

She naturally knew everything about Brother Jing's affairs and the women he had. She was Brother Jing's assistant!

Most of Jing Ge's female confidantes' "monthly allowances" were paid through Zhongrun Company's accounts. She was also the general manager of Zhongrun Company's Shanghai branch and the vice president of the head office, so she had the authority to view all accounts.

The management contracts of actresses Chen Duling, Gao Yuanyuan, Na Zha, Reba, Zhou Ye, and Zhang Jingyi were originally handled by Zhao Qinghan of Qinghan Culture.

However, not all agencies will give Zhao Qinghan face. Normally, it's easy to show respect, say nice things, and avoid criticizing her.

However, in the entertainment industry, when it comes to interests, Qinghan Culture's reputation really doesn't matter.

Therefore, we had to have Brother Jing personally coordinate the matter.

The responsibility naturally fell to Xiao Li.

Zhang Li stopped reading the emails on her laptop and said behind her desk, "Uh... Tangren's influence in the TV drama industry is not as great as it used to be."

They were relatively easy to talk to. Qinghan Culture paid the penalty for breach of contract and brought Na Zha over, along with an agreement to bring Tangren to play a period drama.

Chen Duling runs her own studio and does freelance work. The deal was struck at 'Four Seasons Garden' and she was directly affiliated with Qinghan Culture, receiving the same treatment as Zhang Mingyue and Liu Yifei.

Gao Yuanyuan was easy to talk to. Qinghan Culture stepped in and paid a penalty for breach of contract, and they parted ways amicably. She then switched to Qinghan Culture, and the atmosphere was quite friendly.

The others are harder to negotiate with. Dilraba is currently a top female celebrity, and Jiaxing is unwilling to let her go, constantly demanding high prices.

Zhou Ye is a member of Li Bingbing and Song Media, and is being groomed to be their top female star; she is not for sale at all.

Zhang Jingyi is also a striking beauty at the Beijing Film Academy. Back in November of last year, she signed with Dong Shen Future, founded by Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, a deal that essentially secured her future. Dong Shen doesn't seem inclined to sell. Furthermore, Zhang Jingyi's personal desire to transfer to Qinghan Culture isn't particularly strong.

She reclined comfortably on the sofa, her khaki backless dress hugging her voluptuous figure, her trembling, white breasts clinging to the fabric, and her beautiful face shimmering under the light.

"Xiao Li, if it were me, I wouldn't be so keen either. My brother's reputation in the industry is absolutely top-notch!"

If you go to Qinghan Culture, don't expect a big career. As a "Jing Girl," your rivals will definitely expose and smear you online.

Her agency is with Phoenix Media. Her agent is the agent of rising star Xiao Xueyan, and also a well-known and capable emerging producer in the industry. She has already managed several projects within Phoenix Media, and her upward momentum is very obvious.

Zhang Li chuckled slightly and said, "Rere, capital is always driven by profit! Brother Jing is so generous to beautiful women!"

"How could we assistants not keep an eye on things for him? Signing him to Qinghan Culture will allow us to better invest resources in promoting him!" Rere disagreed, "Xiao Li, going to Phoenix Film & Television is the same thing, they're both Brother Jing's companies. Oh, no, Phoenix Film & Television is a listed company now, Brother Jing is just the controlling shareholder."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly remembered, "That doesn't make sense either. Qinghan Culture is Ms. Zhao's company, so she should own the majority of the shares, right?"

Gu Xixi sat with her left hand supporting her on the sofa armrest. Beneath her pinkish-purple short skirt, her straight, shapely white legs were crossed to one side, her bright and captivating figure prompting her to retort:

"How could Zhao Qinghan possibly hold the majority of shares? Brother Jing invests over 50 million yuan in Qinghan Culture every year, and last year it was even increased to 80 million yuan a year. What makes her a major shareholder?"

"Oh." Rere didn't know there was such inside information.

Zhang Li said, "Equity is secondary. Brother Jing holds 72.31% of Phoenix Pictures, which guarantees absolute control and a say in the company."

The main reason is that Phoenix Pictures is a listed company, and Jing Ge (Jing Ge) wants to make it a benchmark and a century-old enterprise in the domestic entertainment industry, just like the five major Hollywood studios.

Phoenix Pictures operates according to the company's rules and procedures, while Qinghan Culture has much more freedom. As long as the money is there, organizing events is easy.

As she spoke, Zhang Li's gaze swept across the computer screen. While Gu Xixi and Re Re were chatting, she had already finished processing two emails; her efficiency was truly remarkable. She said:

"Just now, Jiaxing sent me a message. I'll make a call back."

Zhang Li made a video call via Fetion. The person who answered the video call was Zeng Jia, the person in charge of Jiaxing. "President Zeng, I am no longer in charge of the transfer of Reba's agency contract. The decision will be made by Liao Rong, the vice president of Phoenix Group in charge of film and television business."

Currently, Fetion is a much cleaner software compared to WeChat. Phoenix Group now uses Fetion for all its external communications, which is essentially a form of forced promotion.

Currently, the number of users is in the tens of millions.

Zeng Jia is a very capable career woman. She founded Jiaxing and managed to get Yang Mi, the leading star who had secured a top-tier celebrity status in the past two years, to only take 15% of the shares, which shows her ability and shrewdness.

But upon hearing Zhang Li's words, her heart leaped into her throat. She was, of course, aware of the industry gossip surrounding Liao Rong's appointment as the vice president of Phoenix Group in charge of film and television.

Jiaxing is a listed company and a relatively well-known, medium-sized company in the film and television industry. They have excellent connections within the industry.

Liao Rong once led Phoenix Film & Television, bringing it to the top position among private film and television companies in China.

Later, intimate photos of him with a male model were leaked, forcing him to leave the country to avoid the scandal.

This person has an assertive style and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, much like Jing Gao, the head of the Phoenix Group. Jing Gao is known in the underworld as a seasoned and ruthless figure.

This whole mess was caused by that lecherous old woman who set her sights on Jiaxing's top influencer, wanting her to sell her cash cow at a discount. How could that be?

But she was indeed wary of Liao Rong's methods.

Liao Rong oversees three film and television companies under Phoenix Media Group: Phoenix Pictures, iQiyi, and Qiyi TV. This is a formidable force.

If Liao Rong decides to use underhanded tactics, Jia Xing's situation may not improve. Unless she turns to Tencent or Alibaba, she won't be able to withstand Liao Rong's methods, given that most TV dramas and movies are currently broadcast on online platforms.

However, which capital firm wouldn't want to profit from the profits?

Is it really that easy to turn around and leave those big capital firms to bear the pressure from Phoenix Group?

"Assistant Zhang, please don't worry about that. We've already made contact, and the preliminary work is almost done. Let me think about your terms some more, and I'll definitely give you an answer tomorrow."

Zhang Li directly refused, saying, "No need. I have other things to attend to, Mr. Zeng." With that, she hung up the video call.

Gu Xixi and Rere both gave a thumbs up, "Xiao Li, awesome!"

Zhang Li smiled sheepishly and said, "No, I learned it from Brother Jing."

Besides, I really have too many things to deal with; I don't have time to argue with her. Anyway, Brother Jing just wants one result. If Qinghan Culture can't pull in the resources, then we'll have to go to Phoenix Film and Television. Promoting people will have to go through procedures in the future, so be it, it's a bit of a hassle!
