Chapter 195 Inside and Outside the Circle

After Lin Zixuan opened a company, he had a lot more social engagements.

Chinese people like to talk about things at the wine table. Whether it is making friends or doing business, they should eat and drink first. If they have deep feelings, they will be almost done after drinking.

Some are socializing in the entertainment industry, and some are socializing with people outside the industry.

Film and television companies want to find investors to invest, and those big guys outside the circle are undoubtedly the best goals. These people either have a heart that yearns for art or want to make money through art.

No matter what, these big guys have funds in hand and think about the development of the film and television industry, which is enough.

In this way, Lin Zixuan met all kinds of wealthy people.

In China, the rich people in the 1970s and 1980s were called ten thousand households, and now the rich people are called big money, or Kuan Ye.

These people have different ways of making a fortune, and most of them have certain social relations and backgrounds. In the 1980s, they became the ones who became rich first by relying on reselling.

Now that the country's business policy has been relaxed, anyone can do business, and their advantages are no longer there, so they consider industrial transformation. The film and television industry has been a hot topic in the past two years.

There are also some who have seized business opportunities in the past two years and went into business decisively, and became rich.

Both are rich people, but there is still a difference between the two. The former is restrained and the latter is ostentatious.

This is very obvious at the dining table.

The wealthy people who made their fortunes in the 1980s often didn’t talk much, but they listened to what others said, occasionally echoed a few words, and could also talk about the point, giving people a feeling of confidence and calmness.

The rich man who made his fortune in the 1990s liked to listen to others and talk about his history of making a fortune, and was proud and a little impetuous.

After all, it is still a matter of accumulation of life experience.

Their common point is that they are not short of money, so these wealthy people always check out and pay at dinner parties.

This creates a situation where people in the entertainment industry will bring one or two wealthy people to accompany each other when they get together, with the goal of letting the wealthy people settle the bill after dinner.

People in the entertainment industry think that as literary workers, do we have to pay for dinner with wealthy people?

The big guys think that spending some money can have a meal with famous directors and celebrities. If you are in the circle and make friends, there is no one who doesn’t spend money.

This is the norm in the entertainment industry in Beijing.

Sometimes they just eat big money, and they don’t pay attention to them after calling them. Everyone talks about their own words, eats and drinks, and leaves them, leaving the big money to pay the bill.

It’s a bit unkind to do this, and it’s necessary to make the rich man feel a sense of presence no matter what.

Over time, the big guys have a view on the entertainment industry, believing that these people are fake and aloof and unreal.

However, if you want to enter the film and television industry, you cannot do without the help of people in the entertainment industry. People in the entertainment industry also need investment from bigwigs. Generally speaking, everyone gets along pretty well.

The big guys want to find reliable film and television companies to invest, but their purpose is to make money.

If you meet unreliable people, it is normal to be deceived and cheated. Only by truly entering this circle can you understand who is reliable and who is not well-reputed in the entertainment industry, and prevent being deceived.

This stage is a running-in period between the two parties and is also a very chaotic period.

This kind of news is often heard in the Beijing entertainment industry, and it is useless even if you call the police.

For example, when a big shot invests in a TV series, the TV series is made, it is a shoddy film that cannot be sold at all. The money is embezzled by the producer and director, but the money is spent on the books and the TV series is also available.

The police cannot conclude that this is fraud. Just suing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the gain is not worth the effort.

In the film and television industry, it is too easy for people in the circle to fool outsiders.

Lin Zixuan is unwilling to do this, he wants to find an investor who can cooperate for a long time.

Such cheating transactions can make money, but if you do too much, your reputation will be ruined. It will be difficult to survive in the circle in the future, and it will not be a long-term business.

One day at the end of December, Lin Zixuan went to Jimen Hotel to attend a dinner. He was either a very familiar person or an ordinary friend.

He is now well-known in the film and television industry, and is a rising star, and is qualified to participate in various dinner parties in the circle. If there are no seniors in the dinner party, he can still be regarded as one of the main characters.

Gatherings in the entertainment industry are very particular. Generally speaking, they are based on seniority. In addition to seniority, they also have influence and voice.

This influence does not refer to the influence of actors among the audience, but to the influence of the entertainment industry.

In addition to official figures and big bosses, in the entertainment industry, producers and directors are the real people with the right to speak. They decide to use those actors in a play, and how to shoot them, even popular actors will not offend them.

To see a person's status in the entertainment industry, it depends on where he sits at a party in the circle.

A round table, important figures sit in the middle, and the younger generation accompany the last seat.

The last seat refers to the position closest to the outside or the closest to the door. This makes it easy to run errands and pay the bills. Being able to sit in the last seat means that you are a person in this circle, but your status is very low.

Sometimes, many people can’t find a way if they want to sit in the last seat.

It seems snobbish, but it is a reality. It is not that easy to enter a circle. Not only does someone need to introduce it, but also have good performance to be accepted by the circle.

Just like a newcomer just joins a company, if you are not more attentive to old employees and do more, you will never be able to integrate into the company's atmosphere.

The dinner Lin Zixuan attended was not a very important circle, but he had to come. He had to give people face when he invited him.

This is how it is to get involved in a circle. Make more friends and offend people less. He does not expect these people to help, as long as they don’t drag their backs. Some people may not be able to do big things, but they are very good at saying bad things and making small reports.

He came here at the right time. If there were seniors in the circle, he would come here early, not to use it this time.

Lin Zixuan entered the private room and had already come to many people, most of whom were friends in the TV industry, and there was also a person who looked like a big shot. It seemed that he was a big shot again today.

Everyone exchanged greetings and chatted casually.

The film and television industry is usually very leisurely by the end of the year, and those who shoot TV series are not so hurry, and construction will only start after the Chinese New Year.

At this time, a man with glasses and looking like a thirty-something came in and greeted everyone with a smile, and someone next to him introduced him.

"This is Mr. Wang. He just came back from the United States and opened an advertising company. He came out of the compound. My good friend."

Lin Zixuan understood that this was a newcomer who wanted to enter this circle. Someone recommended it and was recognized. Even if the person in the circle was not recognized, he would not take him to play next time the circle party.

"A new small company, everyone will support you." Mr. Wang politely distributed business cards and said with a smile.

Lin Zixuan took it and saw that the business card reads the Beijing Huayi Advertising Company, and the man is named Wang Zhongjun. (To be continued.)
