From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

In the end, Ding Zhi's plan for a long vacation failed to come true.

To put it bluntly, Jiuyao Media is still in a relatively fragile period of growth.

Although there are TV series such as "The Beginning" and "Flowers of Evil", there is also "The Wind" which is full of expectations from many people.

In terms of movies, "The God of Medicine" took the lead at the beginning of this year.

If nothing unexpected happens, the box office result of 4.2 billion will basically lock in the box office championship this year.

However, these honors and grand occasions not only allowed Jiuyao Media to gain a firm foothold in the industry, but also made it officially a prominent and important presence in the eyes of its peers.

Some will also start to show their favor to Ding Zhi and the Jiuyao Media behind him.

For example, Bona’s Yu Donghai.

There are definitely some people who feel that Jiuyao Media is blocking their way, and therefore treat it as an imaginary enemy.

After all, a film and television media company that can frequently produce hit movies definitely deserves their attention.

Just like "The God of Medicine" at the beginning of this year was a box office hit, directly crushing all the films in the same period, which will inevitably cause huge losses to other parties.

In fact, the rise of Jiuyao Media is a rare thing in the industry.

In fact, no matter which circle is gradually developing and prospering to a certain extent, its "class status" will become relatively solidified.

Just like at the end of the dynasty in ancient times, the group of people who rose up and succeeded in changing the dynasty, thousands of years later, their descendants also became "corrupt" beings who were rebelled by others.

It's like a reincarnation of time.

Why does the education industry implement double reductions?

Some people will naturally think that this is lazy policy and one-size-fits-all.

But some people interpret it to mean something different.

This "double deduction" may seem crude, but in fact it is not a reflection of educational fairness.

Just look at one piece of data.

In the past few decades, among some of the top scorers in the college entrance examination, there were still many students from poor families, and there were even many students who "came out of the mountains".

In the past few years, the top scorers in the college entrance examination have been dominated by students from middle-class families and above.

It's because the gap among students is getting bigger and bigger, and the distance between the starting lines is getting farther and farther.

This is actually a manifestation of "class solidification" that is subtle and has far-reaching influence.

And the entertainment industry may have branched into the film and television industry, and the "solidification" of this circle has become more and more serious.

Resources, funds, connections, etc., have almost formed a complete closed loop.

Otherwise, when discussing some artists now, they all say that so and so is from Beijing, so and so is from Hong Kong, so and so is the "Prince Goose", and so and so is the "Princess Mang"...

It seems that if you want to get ahead, you have to find a backer.

Even Ding Zhi is not immune to this. Before he became independent, many netizens and passersby even today think that he is more like a veritable "Prince Goose" than Wang Yizhan.

This is true for celebrity artists, and even more so for entertainment companies whose backgrounds are not even noticed by most people.

Nowadays, if you want to start an entertainment company from scratch and start it from scratch, it is almost a daydream.

Because the "rising channels" are basically blocked.

Of course, Yang Fu's "Huansong Media" is not included in this list. In fact, it is the outer shell of the name Huansong Media, but the inside is made up of the flesh and blood of Beijing circles.

It can be regarded as a resurrection of the dead to a certain extent.

Speaking of exceptions, there are actually some.

Otherwise, it would be like Lao Wang.

Um...that's the old Wang who has a son who loves to eat hot dogs and likes to pretend to be a dog licker.

He also redefined "small goals".

He just uses money to clear the way, arranges entertainment, and just plows out a road.

Use the most wealthy method - acquiring theater chains to strongly intervene in the terminal of film and television dramas.

Well, it is said that the toilet news said that it seems that I have lost almost 20 or 30 small targets. I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Either rely on the Beijing Circle, or rely on the "Goose Factory", or at least rely on the "Lu Circle", right?

Become a small workshop-like company that provides content to big manufacturers.

In fact, Ding Zhi’s Jiuyao Media was like this at the beginning.

Ding Zhi has a good relationship with Yang Fu in the Beijing circle, and he has a good relationship with Mango TV and Goose Factory, and also has a relationship with the Hong Kong circle.

It gives every family a feeling of "Hey! This is my little brother".

Especially Chen Ke, who made a lot of money from last year's "Tuner" series, is extremely satisfied with Ding Zhi as his "partner".

As a result, Ding Zhi quietly made a fortune behind his back, first with "The Beginning", then "Flower of Evil", and finally this year's breakout hit "The God of Medicine", which immediately exploded on the spot.

A set of dazzling combination punches immediately made him famous. He carved a way out of such a "crowded" road and firmly established himself.

Not to mention that most companies didn't expect it, even Goose Factory and Yang Fu's Huansong Media, which are closely related to Jiuyao Media, didn't expect it.

But now Ding Zhi is obviously too big to lose his tail.

Otherwise, do you think that with the dominance of Goose Factory, Ding Zhi will really be allowed to jump around on all major platforms?

It's not because Ding Zhi is so profitable.

Given the choice between picking up the arrogance of a big factory and letting go of their arrogance to make money, they had no choice but to make a lot of money with tears in their eyes.

But it means that Ding Zhi can now be carefree, and can even sit back and have nothing.

Over the past year, Ding Zhi has been relying on dazzling "hot combination punches" to fight fast and slow, just like Ip Man who fights ten,

There was a "ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta" that made it difficult for all colleagues to react before they could stand firm.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Ding Zhi was easily persuaded by Liang Qiong.

Let's take a street fight as an analogy. After all, Ding Zhi is very familiar with it.

After using a combination of punches to beat up the enemy, the natural way to do it is to go all out and hit him to death.

Can't stop.

Because you don't know if the enemy will take a breather and give you a hard blow if you stop.

In fact, Ding Zhi's underlying character is somewhat like Lu Bu's.

It is the kind of person who has the spirit of being alone in the world, but also has a certain inertia of being content with a small amount of money.

In fact, speaking of it, when Ding Zhi first became famous because of "Peeping", he actually had a bit of a "game world" mentality there.

When he really started to take care of himself, it was actually because of Miss Zou's incident that he felt, "How can a man live in heaven and earth and live in depression for a long time?"

However, one thing our Brother Zhi is better than Uncle Lu is that he is smarter and does not need to rely on others to put his life and death in front of him.

Ding Zhi himself knows that the "big holiday" is somewhat of a luxury for him, at least for him at this stage?

The idea of ​​"playing life" that arose because of Uncle Zhi's incident was dispelled by Ding Zhi.

After all, he is no longer alone at this stage. After all, Jiuyao Media still has dozens of mouths waiting for food.

The rise of Jiuyao Media has brought him not only glory, but also responsibility.

At the same time, there was actually news from Bona.

After Xu Donghai and Ding Zhi finalized the general direction of cooperation, specific details such as company valuation, mutual equity holding ratios, etc. were all handled by the company's professional personnel.

Well, Ding Zhi here refers to Liang Qiong.

After all, our sister Qiong has long been accustomed to someone turning away from the shopkeeper.

At this time, Jiuyao Media not only joined the Beijing circle represented by Huansong Media in Goose Factory, but also had the Hong Kong circle join it.

Of course, Ding Zhi still occupies a dominant position in terms of equity share and decision-making power.

This is the premise and bottom line for Ding Zhi to cooperate with other parties.

Ding Zhi now also has enough confidence.

Bona reciprocated the favor.

Yu Donghai gave a project that looked pretty good - he intended to prepare a costume martial arts film.

To be honest, it has been so many years since Ding Zhi debuted.

Let alone ancient martial arts movies, he seems to have never even touched ancient idol dramas.

On the one hand, this is because most of the cakes he has come across over the years are homemade.

This is a cost issue.

Generally speaking, the cost of suspense films and modern-themed films is relatively low.

This is why Ding Zhi is now a cash cow in the eyes of many people, because his profit multiple is so high!

On the other hand, it's because in recent years, to be precise in the past ten years, martial arts movies have been basically a mess.

In the film field, there are very few films of this type that can achieve good results and have a good reputation.

To a large extent, this has caused many investors and film studios to rarely get involved in this aspect for the sake of "profit".

On the contrary, in TV dramas, only Cha Baoyi's classic martial arts has been remade over and over again, with each remake worse than the last.

As for those ancient sweet dramas and ancient puppet shows in which idols gather together to star in, they are not qualified to be called martial arts dramas.

So I have to say that it is actually a relatively risky move for Bona to take this step.

For Ding Zhi, it is also an opportunity.

However, the specific cooperation or not will ultimately depend on the script and lineup.

Ding Zhi is not worried about this.

On the other hand, it was also in the variety show Liang Qiong mentioned.

When Ding Zhi met Little Buddha again, he saw him trying to get into a rather slim-fitting suit.

"Why!"

In Ding Zhi's somewhat speechless eyes, Li Xiuyuan finally chose to give up.

"Hey, Azhi. Do you think I'm really fat?"

Looking at Li Xiuyuan, who has grown so big in the past two years that he can almost pretend to be a chubby twin brother, Ding Zhi cannot be the deceiver.

He nodded heavily and looked at the other person with a look like "It seems you have eyes too!"

"You've gained almost a hundred kilograms on horseback. Don't you think you have some confidence?"

Obviously, today's Little Buddha has really gradually changed his job from "Ji Gong" to "Maitreya Buddha" at the beginning.

At least looking at him now, it's hard for you to imagine that eight years ago, Li Xiuyuan was an idol-turned-idol...

So, after accepting his fate, Li Xiuyuan put down the suit he wore when he was "relatively thin" a few years ago and started wearing a "slim-fit" suit that had been tailored to his own figure.

Obviously, the previous futile attempts were just Li Xiuyuan's last stubbornness.

After Ding Zhi also changed into a suit and came out, Li Xiuyuan's inexplicable resentment became even deeper.

Looking at Ding Zhi, who was handsome in a neat suit, Li Xiuyuan scratched his head.

"Now I really regret asking you to be my best man. It really doesn't complement my handsomeness at all!"

"How about forget it!" Li Xiuyuan looked at Ding Zhi's straight waist and said with a bit of sadness.

"Get out!"

Ding Zhi said angrily.

"I spent all my rare vacation time on your wedding, so don't be ignorant of your blessings!"

However, Ding Zhi came to meet Li Xiuyuan this time. In addition to trying on suits with him, he also had other business matters.

It was the variety show that Liang Qiong told him before, that Chen Ke and Li Xiuyuan jointly planned.

"The tentative name is, "Youth with the Power of Fighting". As the name suggests, it is a boxing variety show."

"Anything going on?"

To be honest, it was really refreshing to hear Li Xiuyuan's plan.

"Nowadays, variety shows in the past two years have become more and more vertical and niche."

Speaking of his profession, Li Xiuyuan stopped joking and began to analyze Ding Zhi seriously.

"Just like rap, hip-hop, slam dunk, talk shows, and bands in the past few years, this actually means a trend.

The more niche and professional you are, the more likely you are to get out of the industry because of your professionalism.”

Ding Zhi frowned.

"But obviously, boxing is actually different from hip-hop, slam dunk or talk show. For example, talk shows really look for talk show actors, hip-hop variety shows really look for hip-hop teenagers, and rap variety shows really look for rappers.

If the boxing variety show really hires professional boxers, it will be no different from the "martial arts style" shown on other sports channels.

It’s not even as professional as others.”

Ding Zhi paused, "The most important thing is that this is too niche, even more niche than hip-hop and rap. If you are not careful, the whole program will be ruined."

"So what I plan to do is not a professional boxing competition, but a boxing competition star experience reality show."

"So...hey hey hey!"

Li Xiuyuan smiled very obscenely.

"So you decided to target me?"

"In the entire entertainment industry, is there anyone who can compete better than you?"

"You were planning to drag me into this from the very beginning, right?"

"Don't say that! I'm not working for you! If the show is successful, you will be the one who makes a lot of money! Boss Ding!"

Ding Zhi shook his head. In fact, he had known this for a long time, otherwise he would not have come over to analyze the pros and cons of this program with Li Xiuyuan.

Of course, since Li Xiuyuan approached Ding Zhi this time, it was naturally impossible for him to be a contestant.

After all, to be honest, let’s not talk about the coffee position issue for now.

It’s not that Ding Zhi is boasting about Haikou, but for current practitioners in the entertainment industry, even those so-called new generation “martial arts stars”, if they really want to fight against each other, one of them will be sentenced to twenty years in prison for one punch.

And to put it bluntly, although he has only played the role of the warden in "Greed Wolf" so far, Ding Zhi himself is the most outstanding among the "martial arts stars" who have emerged in the past ten years.

Therefore, if Ding Zhi joins, Li Xiuyuan will most likely be given a promoter or "coach" type role.

Li Xiuyuan, at least in the early stages, was obviously ready to kill his boss.
