The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

Zhao Yishen continued to explain: "In 2015, many brokerage companies were established in the industry, and a large amount of capital entered the entertainment industry. In that year, Brothers Film and Television, owned by Mr. Wang, went public with a market value of nearly billion yuan."

"Only 100 billion? Our company was worth more than 100 billion when it first went public, and now its market value is more than 200 billion." Tianci said disdainfully.

"That was in 2015, Tianci listened to Shenzi continue." Old Xie interrupted Tianci.

"Oh." Li Tianci scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Go on." Han Xiyu looked serious.

"It was easy to make money in the entertainment industry in those years, but the way a lot of capital entered the entertainment industry to make money was not to seriously produce TV dramas or release records or take on commercials..."

"Going public! It must be for the purpose of going public. Like us, we will all become millionaires once we go public, and the fat guy will even become the richest man." Tianci couldn't help but say.

"Yes, what Tianci said is that in 2015, a lot of capital entered the entertainment industry and established various small brokerage companies. Their purpose was not to work hard in the industry, but to mix it up for a few years, meet the listing conditions, and then enter the financial stock market to make a fortune."

"Yes, compared to the money earned in the stock market, we make more money by filming movies, releasing music albums, and arranging concerts, and it's more difficult." Now that everyone has been exposed to the stock market, they naturally know how much money a random rise in the stock market can generate.

"Let's go back to the company Cosmos Entertainment. On the surface, it seems that their major shareholder and second largest shareholder are big bosses in the business circle and venture capital field, but in fact, they are typical people who only care about making money and not doing anything else. The real people in charge are the two people who came out of Xinantai. I won't mention their names, they are the real bosses." Zhao Yishen glanced at everyone.

"Shinko, keep talking."

"In fact, this company is very simple. Two people who are good at planning programs came out of Xinan TV Station and didn't want to stay in their old company. Then some investors saw their abilities and invested money to set up a company. They planned to take advantage of the good environment at that time, work for a few years, go public, and make money. It's that simple."

Everyone nodded.

"Unfortunately, the wind in the entertainment industry has changed. A few years later, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a salary cap for celebrities and artists, as well as a series of measures to limit the production costs of film and television dramas, including yin-yang contracts and the management of "fan circles". In short, the entertainment industry today is not a place where you can just open a small agency and go public to make money. So what should we do?"

"Yes, then what should we do?" Even Shao Minzhi, Qin Jiali and others became curious.

"Then we can only develop this company well. Several of the bosses of Universe Entertainment came from program production backgrounds, so they used their old skills to run a program called "The Martian". Silu first appeared in front of the public in this variety show. After a few years of development, Silu became the most popular artist in this company."

"and then?"

"After that, it was simple. The original major shareholder and the second largest shareholder entered the entertainment industry and established Universe Entertainment just to make money in the financial market. Now there is no way to enter the financial market to make money, so they can only withdraw. Therefore, the major and minor shareholders withdrew their capital one after another, and other capital re-entered. After the reorganization, Universe Entertainment can only rely on developing its own company to make money. And what is the wealth of an agency? It is the artists, and Silu is the company's number one star. So they can only force Silu to take on various jobs to keep her busy and make money. It's that simple."

"So the word Shen Zi used at the beginning was the struggle of capital?" Xia Haoyang smiled.

"The overall environment of the entertainment industry is not very good nowadays. Not all companies are as relaxed as ours and make a lot of money. Everyone is under pressure. In recent years, ordinary people have been saying that money is not easy to make. This is a fact. The same is true in the entertainment industry. Don't just look at the glamorous surface. Of course, we are not bad. Let's be thankful that we have the fat man to lead us to eat meat." Zhao Yishen said with emotion.

"Follow the fat guy and you'll have meat to eat. Let's have a fight." Old Xie suggested.

"So, Shenzi means that Silu's incident happened because the company behind her couldn't make any money, and kept exploiting her, which made her unable to bear it, so she developed depression, which led to the serious conflict between the artist and the company today?" Han Xiyu thought about it.

"Well, that's about it. Companies need to make money, and artists need to live a glamorous life, but the economic momentum has not been good in recent years, and ordinary people don't have money. What can you do?"

“It’s not easy for everyone.”

"We are relatively well off, it's just a matter of how much we earn. Those people at the bottom of society, or unknown artists like Xingxing, were deceived and taken to Southeast Asia, and they almost lost their lives."

"Xingxing should thank his girlfriend for knowing how to use the help of online public opinion, otherwise he might not have been rescued." Lao Xie said.

"This is the importance of having a good woman. We also have good women in our company, such as Sister Juzi, Sister Hongling, and Jingyi. Let's find another one." Han Xiyu shouted.

"It's a pity that the men in the company are not very good." Agent Xiao Liu said coldly.

This sentence made everyone feel a little embarrassed, and they could only laugh it off.

Overall, the dinner was quite pleasant. The French restaurant they chose, Flou, not only had good food but was also known for its elegant and private environment. For Xia Haoyang and his group, they did not need to make reservations several days in advance and could order most of the food at any time. This was very important.

After the company went public, everyone's wallets became fatter, and the choice of venues for dinner parties also increased, with more people choosing high-end private restaurants. It's not that people's tastes have become more sophisticated, but that most of these restaurants are private, safe, and more suitable for everyone.

In such a restaurant, even if you meet other customers, you will not be asked to take photos or group photos, or even to throw bricks and smash cars and demand to marry them.

"There is also a Fulou restaurant in Jinshi, and the address was formerly the former residence of Zeng Guofan's brother. The overall decoration style still retains the classic Parisian style of the last century, and the garden is surrounded by green plants, giving people a feeling of being in a French garden. It is more beautiful than the Fulou restaurant in Yancheng."

On the way home, Zeng Jingyi had been to Jinshi for a trip, so she talked about the Fulou Restaurant in Jinshi.

Of course Xia Haoyang had to show his support to his wife, "Okay, next time we go to Jinshi for a trip, let's also go to this Gallic restaurant for dinner."

Zeng Jingyi was naturally sitting in the co-pilot seat of Xia Haoyang's car, and the three people sitting in the back seat were Xiao Mengyan and her parents. At Zeng Jingyi's strong request, Xiao Mengyan's parents stayed at their home in Baguo Village tonight instead of staying in a hotel. Teacher Zhang Ping had a house in Beijing, and Zhao Yishen would take her home.

Xia Haoyang didn't think much about the visit of Xiao Mengyan's parents until he returned home in the evening and Zeng Jingyi told him the reason, then he was suddenly shocked.
