The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

"I take full responsibility."

When Zhang Xinhua said this, his mouth was full of bitterness.

He was actually dissatisfied.

It is true that he is the producer of the Tiandao Library drama, but when the company invested in this drama, it directly invited famous directors.

The director has a lot of power in the crew, and he basically handles financial and accounting matters, supervises the financial situation of the crew, and ensures that the film can be completed on schedule. He feels that these tasks, as a producer, have been accomplished very well.

Really, the quality of the final product has a lot to do with him? He does not admit it.

Before and after the work was launched, as the manager of Tiandao Library's operations, Zhang Xinhua felt that he had no problems with the operation strategy and the promotion strategy discussed with Cao Yufei.

He felt that, in fact, the problem was that the quality of the work was not high enough.

Tiandao and Ruzidi are two different types of dramas, which may not be very good, but they have a certain degree of similarity with martial arts. Compared with martial arts, the Tiandao they shot is really not good enough.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the Tiandao Library was officially surpassed by Emperor Ru Zi.

Of course, this is not about playing volume. That imaginary thing can only be used for blowing water. To evaluate the commercial value of a work, it still depends on the ability to attract money.

Originally, Emperor Ruzi far surpassed Tiandao in word of mouth, and now he has even surpassed his commercial performance. What's more, people are still on the rise. It is said that daily new sales are increasing. And Tiandao, after the large-scale publicity was over, and the introduction of traffic was not enough, it entered a period of malaise.

Next, don't say that Tiandao will achieve another overtake, and it is impossible to even maintain the gap. The commercial performance between the two will grow bigger and bigger over time.

This is being crushed in all directions.

According to the current trend, when the complete episode is finished, Tiandao’s total sales, optimistically, may only be more than 400 million and less than 500 million. And the total investment of this drama has reached one billion RMB, which is enough to make a big movie.

Even if it is a long-term future, some funds can be withdrawn through other methods, but it is basically unrealistic to completely make up for the high investment.

Comparing revenue and costs, there is no doubt that Tiandao will bring huge losses to Rainbow Entertainment.

According to the current audit given by the headquarters of "Rainbow Investment", all production costs, investment in publicity and distribution, and other resource inputs are counted, and then the funds that have been returned and that can be returned in the future are deducted. The Tiandao Library project will It will bring huge losses of more than 700 million yuan to'Rainbow Investment'.

For this level of loss, someone must come out to carry the pot.

Zhang Xinhua is the first one.

When he said ‘I take full responsibility’, it was at the executive meeting of ‘Rainbow Investment’.

In this executive meeting, not only David attended as the president of "Rainbow Investment", but also the other executives and directors of the company were basically all present. In addition, the company's headquarters in the United States also sent a number of senior executives.

Even the chairman who had been half-retired had made a special trip back from the US headquarters.

In the presence of these people, Zhang Xinhua knew what he meant by what he said: He basically cut off the future in this line.

No one will use an investor who has had a major failure. In the future, it will be difficult for him to get up again.

Although he did not think that he had made a major mistake in this matter, even before the work went online, he persuaded David not to take too much strides, pay for the content and sell it honestly. The copyright of the work is over. At that time, someone was willing to take the order at a price of 1.3 billion.

If David had listened to him at the time, although the final investment yield would not be too good-looking, it would still be a worthy business.

But David didn't listen to him.

However, even so, what about?

Tiandao Library is made by ‘Rainbow Entertainment’, and he is the actual executor of Rainbow Entertainment. Regardless of whether or not he is responsible for this matter and how much responsibility he has, as long as the work fails, he is the first responsible person.

But obviously, he can't carry this pot alone.

"The company's investment, on this project, has lost hundreds of millions of dollars. You bear all the responsibility? How can you bear it?" said an able-faced white American in a suit, staring at him with a serious face.

Zhang Xinhua is this person. His name is Bang Kesen. He is an executive in the US headquarters of Rainbow Investment. He is responsible for risk work. The two even wake up. They are both graduates of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He traveled to the United States several times on business, and met with Bang Kesen several times. People had coffee and dinner together. Because of the same educational experience, he had a very pleasant exchange.

However, here, Bang Kesen didn't have the kindness he had seen before, and his cold face was like a judge of hell.

"My letter of resignation has been submitted to the board of directors."

Bang Kesen swayed and said, "You don’t need a letter of resignation, Zhang, your dismissal process should be completed by now. Bring your personal belongings and you can go. But please in the next month , Cooperate with my work. I will review the entire project process to ensure that there are no violations during the project period. If there are corresponding records, we will reserve the right to sue you."

Zhang Xinhua's expression worsened, but he said nothing.

He had expected this result.

And Bang Kesen, in the process of saying this, did not even look at Zhang Xinhua. His eyes kept on David who was sitting next to him.

For "Rainbow Investment", a major loss in a project involving hundreds of millions of yuan is also an out-and-out pain.

They are an investment company, and the money is not all company. Various funds and various investment institutions are their sources of funds.

It seems that 100 million US dollars is not a big deal for an investment company that is in charge of dozens or even tens of billions of dollars, but in fact, the impact is very large.

This will obviously affect the confidence of investors and plant a big thunder for the company's future development.

Zhang Xinhua can't bear this pot. He was expelled, it was only a small part of this pot, and the other part of the pot had to be picked up by someone with a bigger head.

Such as David.

He is the highest person in charge of the "Rainbow Investment" in China. This pot that Zhang Xinhua can't handle can only make him resist.

David stood up slowly, watched Lao Zhang, who had a gray face, walked out from the door of the meeting room, and then turned his gaze to Bang Kesen.

Being stared at by David is a very stressful thing. With his condescending and domineering attitude, it seemed that he was not a loser, but the Bangksen he was staring at was like a bereaved dog.

This look made Bang Kesen very uncomfortable.

He was stunned at first, but he immediately became ashamed of this feeling, and then was irritated.

"Mr. David, can you explain why you made the decision to enter the entertainment industry in China and set up'Rainbow Entertainment'?"

David's attitude is very calm: "Because, I think the entertainment industry has enough potential, and our funds will be rewarded if we enter it."

"That day, Dao Library, this huge loss project, is your return to us?"

"Before Tiandao Library, under the name of'Rainbow Entertainment', we invested in the production of six projects in two years, three films, three film and television series, all of which were profitable, and the overall return on investment exceeded 100%. Do you think our work on "Rainbow Entertainment" failed?"

Bang Kesen sneered, and then grabbed his lifeline directly: "But what about the Library of Heaven? How do you explain the fiasco of this project?"

He is like this, like ‘whatever you say, I’ll talk about the blood loss of heaven’.

This strategy is quite successful. When it comes to the Library of Heaven's Path, David can only misfire.

When you lose, saying everything is like an excuse.

This is true.

Regardless of the tens of thousands of reasons, if you lose, you lose. No matter how many reasons, can you turn defeat into victory?

impossible.

David knew in his heart that he had lost this time, a terrible defeat, and it could even be said to be the most significant failure in his entire career.

In the past period of time, there have been more than one self-examinations. He himself has to bear 80% of the responsibility for the failure of the way of heaven.

But he understands, but he can't just admit it like this.

This is another reason.

If he is here and really recognizes it, he will become more troublesome.

However, Bang Kesen on the opposite side was very aggressive.

Although David's face has not changed a lot, he is already very embarrassed.

At this time, a knock on the table rang.

Everyone looked at it, and the person knocking on the table was the creator of "Rainbow Entertainment", Mr. Orison Keene.

He is over 60 years old, and in the past few years, he has slowly begun to not directly preside over the work of "Rainbow Investment". If it hadn't been for such a big basket in China, he would not have made a special trip.

"Okay, let's stop here," he said.

Hearing Orison Keane said this, Bang Kesen's complexion looked unpleasant: "Mr. Keane, David needs to give an explanation to the entire board of directors for this matter."

"Explain to me." Keane said, "Let Michael come to me."

Bang Kesen shut up and said nothing, in other words, he had anticipated this situation a long time ago.

Orison Keane will protect David in this way because David Keane is his son.

Old Keene’s wife is a Chinese. He who had a son in his middle age values ​​his son very much. Trained from Xiao Xin, he is also very strict with David. After David became an adult and graduated, he was arranged to join his company, worked for two years, and then he was sent to China to establish a Chinese branch of "Rainbow Investment".

Originally, based on the old Keane's idea, he wanted David to experience a few years in China, experience the process of establishing a company from scratch, accumulate some experience, and then return to the US headquarters.

But I didn’t expect that his son was so capable of having the support of the US headquarters, but was able to lead "Rainbow Investment" to gain a firm foothold in an originally unfamiliar country, and even made quite beautiful results in the United States and Europe. In addition to the traditional market currency of'Texhong Investment', a new territory has been developed.

For Keane, this was a complete surprise, and it also brought him considerable help.

Old Keane established the "Rainbow Investment" by one hand, but the company also has a partner. The two were close comrades in arms and fought side by side when the development of the company was not so good. As the two got older and older, it was inevitable that rifts appeared between each other, and some signs of power struggle appeared within the company.

And with an excellent son, the strong Lichi given to overseas markets, the old Keen has been crushing the other for a long time.

However, he never thought that David, who has always made him very proud and proud, would actually have such a big failure in China.

When he first heard the news, he was angry and puzzled. But now, he has only one ulcer: save David.

That is not only his most powerful supporter in "Tianhong Investment", but also his biological child.

With his own prestige, after forcibly ending the discussion, Old Keane left David alone.

"Father, I let you down."

Alone in front of the old man, David still lowered his head, took off the steel armor and iron armor he had used before, and his expression was even a little helpless and at a loss.

Seeing him like this~www.NovelMTL.com~ some of the blame that old Keane wanted to say.

He knew that his son, David, from the heart to the outside, was all made of iron. Want him to show such an expression? Since he was sixteen, old Keane has rarely seen him.

It can be seen that this failure was also a heavy blow to David himself.

With a slight sigh, Old Keane said: "Take care of the affairs in China, and return to the United States with me in a few days. At that time, Bang Kesen will temporarily take over the work in China and wait for the continued arrangements. "

"We lost the China region?"

"Not to mention, let old Michael be proud of him for a while. When he returns to the United States, there is still battle waiting for us."

"Okay, listen to your arrangements."

The two were silent for a while, and Old Keane said again: "You can get some relief from this matter."

"I have enough introspection."
