Run, Best Actor!
Chapter 16 The Hidden Entertainment Landscape
As a reborn individual with a system, Liu Taile naturally wouldn't be so useless; he simply focused on cultivating his own little plot of land without taking any action.
In fact, since 09, Liu Taile has not had to worry about money because of the salaries from various competitions, endorsements and business activities.
With a large sum of money in hand, Liu Taile embarked on his investment journey.
I definitely need to buy the stocks of Ali, Tencent, Jingdong, and Xinlang.
Baidu became increasingly useless over time, so we stopped wasting money on it.
Zhang Yiming has been consistently investing in these companies, from 99fang to ByteDance, and this "potential stock" quickly turned a profit.
Because of Yang Mi, there will definitely be some plans in the entertainment industry.
However, Liu Taile did not invest in companies, but instead invested directly in individuals.
Other industries thrive by relying on companies and teams.
In the film and television industry, the strength of a team is indeed useful, but what truly plays a decisive role is the exceptional ability of the "leader".
For example, if Guo Fan hadn't existed, Chinese science fiction films would probably have remained a mess forever.
Without dumplings, China would never have produced an animated film that could become the world's highest-grossing film of the year.
Without Chen Sicheng, there would never have been a successful cinematic universe in mainland China.
This is an industry where success truly depends on the people involved.
Therefore, Liu Taile doesn't even want to give a second glance to garbage companies like Huayi that ultimately lead the industry astray!
He sets his sights on those who are truly capable of achieving great things.
Currently, we have invested in two people – Jia Shikai and Chen Zhixi, who are not yet fully established.
Chen Zhixi needs no introduction; her future resume is already quite impressive.
She will even shine both inside and outside the industry by the end of this year—after the release of "Lost in Thailand," Chen Zhixi, as the film's producer, will be hailed by the media as the "most profitable producer." As a behind-the-scenes staff member of the film, she has become famous in the spotlight.
As for Jia Shikai, although he is far less accomplished than Chen Zhixi, he will still be a prominent figure in the film and television industry in the future.
This person entered the industry in 2005, and by chance joined Tianyu Media. He then moved from Changsha to Yanjing and joined Huanrui Century Film & Television Media Co., Ltd., where he was mainly responsible for the production of TV drama projects for artists.
During this period, his most famous project was the web series "The Lost Tomb," which solidified Yang Yang's status as one of the "Four Top Celebrities."
In mid-2015, Yuan Shikong left Huanrui and started his own business, founding Yanjing Yuekai Film & Television Co., Ltd. in the same year.
What's most talked about is that he linked himself with Yang Yang, who later became one of the "Four Top Celebrities".
In order to kidnap Yang Yang, who was then an artist under Huanrui Media, he directly gave him shares of his own company's original stock.
His vision was also unique, and Yang Yang later became the only one among the "Four Top Celebrities" whose position remained relatively stable.
Two of them suffered a complete collapse, and their fates were far from dignified.
Lu Han, who has never had any scandals, dated his girlfriend for eight years but was sadly dumped. Although his top star status has faded, he has always been pitied by people.
Later, an escort exposed that Xiao Lu was one of her "collection" targets, and was even described as "hot"...
This surprised everyone.
On the contrary, Yang Yang, despite being ridiculed for being greasy, having poor acting skills, and being called "Prince Duan," has never had his career collapse.
Even in 2025, with the drama "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality", a real-life "Empress Xi Returns to the Palace" unfolded, proving her top-tier status through her work.
Jia Shikai's move to bind the other party was truly a brilliant one.
Later, they also cultivated Meng Ziyi, a well-known actress born in 95, and Liu Yuning, a well-known young actor. Their management skills are unique.
In terms of film and television production, Hyatt has led the production of TV series such as "Si Teng" and "The Moon Doesn't Know My Heart", and has invested in projects such as "Martial Universe" and "Eternal Love". It has a good eye for investment.
However, what Liu Taile values most about Jia Shikai is his role as the producer of the TV series "Ming Dynasty".
Although that TV series had many problems, it did make the history of the Ming Dynasty truly popular back then.
As a fan of the Ming Dynasty, or more specifically, a fan of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, Liu Taile had a very high level of affection for Jia Shikai.
If Liu Taile's investment in Chen Zhixi was somewhat driven by self-interest, his investment in Jia Shikai was entirely based on personal feelings.
Jia Shikai never expected that Liu Taile would get along so well with him, and that the other party had high hopes for him.
Liu Taile will definitely invest in any project that Jia Shikai is currently leading at Huanrui, regardless of profit or loss.
This gesture truly moved Jia Shikai.
Liu Taile's actions have greatly solidified his position as vice president of Huanrui, giving him more say in the business.
Therefore, out of affection for Yang Mi, Jia Shikai also treated her differently.
They deliberately showed up to demonstrate their current "power" to Yang Mi.
"Brother Kai, could you collaborate with my studio on that 'Gu Jian Qi Tan' project?"
Now that things were out in the open, Yang Mi, taking advantage of the situation, asked Jia Shikai with a big smile, "You know, my little studio has signed artists now and needs resources."
"You really don't hold back."
Upon hearing her request, Jia Shikai couldn't help but chuckle, "I've been giving you so much advance notice about Huanrui's future projects, and you're already thinking of cutting into the 'cake'?"
Hehe~~
Yang Mi chuckled twice, "Brother Kai, now that we're familiar with each other, let's take care of each other in the future. Besides, I'm also very interested in further cooperation with Huanrui."
In fact, due to being blacklisted by the Hong Kong entertainment circle, Yang Mi, Zeng Jia, and Zhao Ruoyao are already considering their future after leaving Mei Ah Entertainment.
Previously, he collaborated with H&R Century Pictures on the film "Midsummer's Love," and they also had a good relationship built up from the two previous "Palace" dramas.
Therefore, all three tend to cooperate with H&R Century Pictures in the future.
Of course, it was also a stepping stone to accumulate more initial capital and connections, in preparation for starting my own business in the future.
Unexpectedly, Jia Shikai has now brought Yang Mi the popular IP "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
Yang Mi naturally wanted more.
"Hmm, it seems we're thinking the same thing."
Jia Shikai had clearly seen through Yang Mi's subsequent thoughts. "Yes, great minds think alike. We should take advantage of projects from big companies like this to build up our future career."
"Is Kai going to start his own business in the future?"
Yang Mi, who also understood the implication in Jia Shikai's words, asked curiously.
"That's natural."
Jia Shikai nodded naturally, "Otherwise, why would Taile invest in me? We had already discussed it. In the past two years, I have been accumulating experience and connections at Huanrui through my position. Once I have accumulated enough, I will leave Huanrui and start my own business."
"Tail will invest in me then, and we'll start a company together!"
"Sure, our two companies will help each other out then!"
Yang Mi said happily.
Nothing makes her happier than working together with her loved one in the industry.
Unexpectedly, Jia Shikai suddenly said, "Mimi, this is another matter I came here about today. It's something that Tai Le was too embarrassed to tell you directly, so he asked me to tell you."
That means you need to guarantee your absolute position in your future startup!
"Um?!"
These words left Yang Mi completely bewildered.
What does it mean? !
"Honey, modern society is developing too fast."
Jia Shikai suddenly sighed, "It's so fast that people are gradually losing their integrity. Nowadays, many people are focused on money and will do anything for it. If this continues, it will definitely cause big problems."
In this era, all we can do is ensure that we are not corrupted by those negative trends, and at the same time, never forget that "one should always be wary of others!"
It's clear that Jia Shikai and Liu Taile have a really good relationship in private, otherwise he wouldn't have said these things directly to Yang Mi.
Upon hearing this, Yang Mi thought about some things that had happened around her in the past two years and fell silent for a moment.
Seeing that Yang Mi remained silent for a while, Jia Shikai knew that she had taken his words to heart, so he didn't say anything more.
She's a smart girl; if she had been more cautious, some of the things that happened later could have been avoided.
