Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

At the main venue of the Mercedes-Benz Arena Weibo Night, Jiang Beicheng and Cao Guowei sat together in the front row, with Wang Changtian, chairman of Enlight Media, sitting next to them.

Wang Changtian left a particularly good impression on Jiangbei City.

When he first entered the fashion industry and invested in Shangcheng, he organized a fashion gala, and Wang Changtian invited several well-known artists from his company to attend.

They gave him a lot of face.

The two are on very good terms now.

Although Jiang Beicheng has not yet reached the level of entertainment capital like Enlight Media in the domestic entertainment industry, Wang Changtian regards him as an equal.

They are also capital players who can drive the development of the entertainment and film industries.

He has been in the industry for many years and is a very upright person. He has never been involved in any scandals with female celebrities and has always focused on his career.

Aside from promoting and publicizing content produced by Enlight Media and attending events organized by state media, he rarely appears in the public eye.

Jiang Beicheng and Wang Changtian chatted and joked with each other.

He mentioned his recent interview with state media, in which he questioned the box office revenue sharing model.

That interview did not perpetuate his myth.

Instead, it attracted a barrage of criticism online.

The movie "Ne Zha 2" grossed nearly 160 billion yuan at the box office, and Enlight Media, as the producer, will receive one-third of the revenue.

Wang Changtian still felt that the amount was too small.

Then he was criticized and became a trending topic.

These kinds of things can't be explained clearly just by grumbling.

The producers feel they've received too little, while the theaters have received too much. The theaters, on the other hand, feel they're a capital-intensive entity and should receive a larger share. This back-and-forth has been going on for a while now.

This is a long-term game between two types of capital.

All the audience saw was that Wang Changtian was too greedy.

Jiang Beicheng understands him. If it were a film produced by Yizhi Culture Media, Jiang Beicheng would have the same thought.

He casually joked, "In the film and television industry, only President Wang, this evergreen tree, has the most authority to speak on this matter right now."

I admire Mr. Wang's boldness.

If you can change the current box office revenue sharing model, I will also benefit.

Ha ha ha ha. "

Wang Changtian waved his hand, "President Jiang, please don't make fun of me. You can see how bad my reputation is online."

The progress of China's film and television industry and the establishment of a sound development model cannot be separated from colleagues like Mr. Jiang.

Jiang Beicheng shook hands with him.

This indicates that she agrees with what he said.

Whether it's TV series or movies, the current market environment is distorted.

Wang Changtian publicly criticized the film industry.

Jiang Beicheng stood up today to criticize the television drama industry.

However, he probably won't suffer as much as Wang Changtian, who was criticized for being greedy and for having the face of a capitalist.

The public is criticizing television stations and the entertainment industry.

"General Manager Jiang, General Manager Wang, General Manager Cao."

"Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Jiang, it's an honor to meet you."

"..."

Several entertainment industry players chatted as the event proceeded as scheduled.

Every time an award was presented on stage, the celebrity guests in the audience would take the initiative to come forward, greet Jiang Beicheng and the other big shots first, and then go up on stage to receive the award.

Of the awards at Weibo Night, only the "Weibo King" and "Weibo Queen" titles have any real prestige.

The others are just prestige awards.

To save face for the celebrity guests.

Basically, everyone who comes here gets a reward.

Jiang Beicheng was just watching the excitement, and only when his best friend Zheng Jiamin went on stage to perform did he turn his attention back to listening to the songs seriously.

Applause and encouragement.

The celebrity guests present all knew that Zheng Jiamin was the eldest daughter of Yizhi Culture Media, so they gave her face and seriously appreciated her performance.

Singers who come from livehouses are all incredibly talented live, and their error rate is extremely low.

Her mental resilience is stronger than many top-tier singers. Zheng Jiamin's performance tonight was outstanding, and she has already trended on social media twice, once for her styling and once for her live performance tonight.

The "folk pop diva" is still working hard to evolve.

Jiang Beicheng looked pleased.

After watching the performance, I chatted with several CEOs.

When the live broadcast director suddenly switched the camera to them.

The entire guest area erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Jiang Beicheng noticed the camera and waved at it with a smile.

The female celebrities in the back row started gossiping again.

There has never been such a young, handsome, and powerful patron in the Chinese entertainment industry.

President Jiang is now a topic of daily discussion among female celebrities.

Today, President Jiang exuded extraordinary charisma, sitting in the center of the front row among the bigwigs, his CEO aura was off the charts.

It's hard not to be moved.

She's so charming.

Jiang Beicheng sat down for the final awards ceremony and then got up to go backstage to prepare.

Yang Mi stared at his figure, her eyes practically glazed over.

I'm looking forward to the scene of Jiang Beicheng going on stage to present her with the award later.

She was still mentally organizing how to politely flatter Jiang Beicheng when she received the award.

A simple thank you won't do.

President Jiang is no ordinary financial backer.

Her relationship with President Jiang was not ordinary.

While she was pondering, the host solemnly introduced the last award of the evening.

We warmly invite Jiang Beicheng to come up on stage to receive the award.

As the giant stage curtain opened, Jiang Beicheng walked out in a gentleman's suit.

With a smile on his face and a steady gait.

Handle this minor situation calmly and composedly.

The host then turned the conversation to Jiang Beicheng, asking him to bring the evening's grand event to a perfect close.

Jiang Beicheng stepped forward and raised the microphone, "Wasn't Baoqiang the last one to receive an award?"

A burst of laughter erupted from the scene.

That's Jiang's dry humor.

Wang Baoqiang himself clapped excitedly and laughed out loud.

He and President Jiang have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship in private. When President Jiang held a charity gala, he attended and donated one million yuan.

There has been ongoing communication between Yizhi Culture Media and his studio regarding projects, and it is estimated that a collaborative project will be initiated soon.

They can tease and joke with each other.

Jiang Beicheng adjusted the microphone to a suitable height and looked up to face all the guests and media.

“The Weibo Night is always the most exciting time in the Chinese entertainment industry, and this year’s gathering in Shanghai is a star-studded affair.” Jiang Beicheng shared his feelings: “I just arrived in Shanghai this week, invited by President Cao to come and receive this award.”

This trip to Shanghai was very insightful and rewarding, giving me a new understanding of the entertainment industry.

I then realized that I was a complete novice in this industry.

Laughter erupted again from the scene.

Everyone thought that President Jiang would continue with his dry humor, liven up the atmosphere before the awards ceremony, and tell a stand-up comedy routine. No one expected Jiang Beicheng to say the following words.

"Yizhi Culture Media and a certain TV station are negotiating the purchase of a TV series. I was personally involved. To be honest, it's a bit too much effort and time to negotiate a project worth tens of millions of yuan to this point."

What surprised me, however, was that the TV station openly demanded protection money, threatening Yizhi Culture Media to buy ratings, and that if they didn't buy ratings, they wouldn't let them broadcast.

We have to buy it through their designated channels, one million per episode.

Jiang Beicheng sneered, "So this is how this industry works!"

There was total silence.

The screen was filled with shocked faces.

All eyes were focused on President Jiang on the stage.

In this kind of setting, at such an influential event, publicly exposing the dark secrets and unspoken rules of the film and television industry goes beyond the word "amazing." (End of Chapter)
