Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 452 Anxiety Spreads into Entertainment
After the press conference ended, before the enthusiastic applause had completely subsided, the media reporters were already being guided by staff towards the exit in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, outside the reception room on the second floor of the main building of the park, Wu Wenhui took the opportunity during this brief break to find Wu Chen.

"Director Wu." Wu Wenhui stepped forward, his expression polite.

"Mr. Wu." Wu Chen smiled and gently shook hands with the other party, not surprised by the initiative of the founder of Qidian.com.

The power distribution and management model of Shanda Literature's senior management have always been problematic.

The conflict between Wu Wenhui and Hou Xiaoqiang is already taking shape, but for the time being, their shared goal of "Shanda Literature going public" is keeping them at peace.

"Director Wu, would it be convenient to exchange contact information?" Wu Wenhui hesitated for a moment before speaking up, his expression frank.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chen did not hesitate at all. He immediately smiled, took out his phone from his pocket, exchanged numbers with the other party, chatted casually for a few more minutes, and then said goodbye and returned to the reception room.

Wu Wenhui watched Wu Chen's retreating figure.

He had mixed feelings about Wu Chen joining the company, but the change in Shanda Literature's shareholding structure was at least not a bad thing for him.

For Cai Yinong of Tangren Media, this collaboration between Xingchen and Shanda Literature was nothing short of a bolt from the blue.

She felt even more dizzy after seeing the media reports.

[Shanda Literature partners with Xingchen Pictures, marking a significant step forward in adapting literature into film and television!]

[The largest online literature content library partners with the most commercially successful director; cultural capital may reshape the film and television investment landscape!]

Wu Chen appeared at Zhangjiang Park; Shanda Xingchen announced a strategic partnership; the first batch of adaptations was revealed, including "Ghost Blows Out the Light," "Scarlet Heart," and "Nirvana in Fire."

【.】

"Scarlet Heart"

Cai Yinong muttered to himself, his hand holding the mouse trembling slightly.

Wu Chen's intervention completely disrupted her plans for the future of Tangren Media.

"How could someone have such a sharp eye?" Cai Yinong sighed softly, his face full of resentment.

Her intuition told her that this novel had great potential for film and television adaptation, and if handled properly, it could both promote artists and make money.

After a moment of contemplation, a look of determination suddenly flashed in his eyes. He stood up and raised his eyebrows.

Giving up without even trying is not in her nature.

Meanwhile, in Beijing, at the headquarters of Huayi Brothers.

The brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei also saw the report immediately, their expressions differing, and the atmosphere became slightly silent.

After a long while, Wang Zhongjun exclaimed, "Great minds think alike!"

He knew that movies had to take the path of general entertainment, but he didn't expect Wu Chen to be ahead of Huayi Brothers and start making plans first.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhonglei's eyes also held a slightly strange expression.

Could it be that his brother's previously emphasized "entertainment-oriented" approach really has great potential?
Even Wu Chen is already making plans.

Just as the two brothers were lost in thought, Wang Zhongjun's phone, which was on the table, vibrated.

He got up, picked up his phone, and saw the words "Alibaba Ma Yun" prominently displayed on the screen.

Wang Zhongjun quickly answered the phone and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, what a rare guest!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhonglei didn't shy away from the topic; he simply picked up his teacup and took a sip.

On the other end of the phone, Ma Yun's tone was as usual: "President Wang, have you seen the news about the strategic cooperation between Xingchen Pictures and Shanda?"

“I saw it. It’s such a big financial news story, it’s hard not to notice it,” Wang Zhongjun replied with a light laugh.

"It seems that Wu Chen of Starry Sky Pictures is more knowledgeable about the internet. Now, Huayi Brothers, do you have no more doubts?" Ma Yun said with a smile.

"Entertainment is definitely the future trend of the film and television industry. This is the path that Huayi should take. To become China's Warner Bros., it needs to have a moat." Ma Yun greatly admired Wu Chen's move at this moment.

In his view, how much potential does the film and television industry have, and how large a market value can it support for companies?

Wang Zhongjun nodded slightly, admiring Ma Yun's vision and perspective, and casually echoed:

"Mr. Ma has a great vision. To be honest, I've been thinking about this a lot lately too."

Since his previous conversation with Ma Yun, he has been very supportive of her pan-entertainment strategy, and the strategic cooperation between Shanda Literature and Starry Pictures seems to confirm this.

"As far as I know, Starry Night Pictures has invested in Shanda Literature. To be honest, if I have the chance, I'd like to have a good chat with this great director."

In Alibaba's chairman's office, Ma Yun reclines in her office chair, speaking eloquently.

"If the film and television industry doesn't change, we will change the film and television industry."

As Wang Zhongjun listened to the voice on the phone, his eyes grew even brighter.

I have to say, Mr. Ma really has a grand vision.

However, for the film and television industry itself, the more direct attraction of Xingchen's collaboration with Shanda comes from the "one TV series, one movie" plan.

Han Sanping highly values ​​this film.

The two companies claim to be co-developing the project, but that certainly doesn't mean they've taken all the shares. In the film and television industry, nobody usually does that, except for "New Pictures".
In a private kitchen in Shanghai, Wu Chen, Chen Tianqiao, Hou Xiaoqiang, and others were drinking and chatting when Han Sanping's phone call came unexpectedly.

"Movies don't come that fast. We'll make TV series first. We don't have anyone making movies right now. Lu Yang is busy with his 'Blind Cinema'."

"Oh, how much was the budget for this film?"

Around 200 million.

Upon hearing the amount, Han Sanping immediately lost interest.

"The directors under your management really have a lot of freedom; what a waste of resources!"

In Han Sanping's opinion, a director like Lu Yang, who has a net worth of over 100 million yuan, would not make such a small film even if he didn't work on big commercial productions. What could he possibly do with two million yuan?

"Chairman Han, don't forget, 'The Dark Side' only cost 40 yuan to make initially."

Can "The Blind Cinema" still be funded?

Upon hearing this, Han Sanping murmured something.

Wu Chen chuckled for a moment: "Haha, no, no, it's not that serious."

After hanging up the phone and returning to his seat, Chen Tianqiao casually asked, "Chairman Han from China Film Group?"

"Yes, I asked about the movie."

Wu Chen sat down, and his words made Hou Xiaoqiang and Wu Wenhui's eyes light up.

It has to be said that this is the benefit of working with a great director. The press conference just ended not long ago, and people are already asking about the movie.

"Director Wu, your film industry is certainly not short of money. Shanda has been thinking of investing more, but unfortunately, it hasn't found a good opportunity yet," Chen Tianqiao joked with a smile.

"The timing was wrong. If it had been a few years earlier, things would have been better. Good directors these days don't lack investment."

"Now we have Mr. Wu's Xingchen Pictures, don't we?" Hou Xiaoqiang complimented cheerfully.

"Not at all, not at all. We all benefit from each other and achieve mutual success."

"Mr. Wu is right."

"."

The group of people at the table were all smiles, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively as they clinked glasses.
