Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 413 411. Be the man behind you

May in Cannes is over, and countless filmmakers left here with regrets.

Although Chen Li'an has no regrets about his trip to Cannes, people around him now have regrets and feel a little disappointed and lost.

Although Gong Li seems to have nothing to do with Chen Li'an's company, she still feels disappointed in her heart. She is only one step away from winning the Grand Slam.

She has been to Cannes several times over the years, and every time she came back disappointed. She wonders if there will be another time.

On the plane, Chen Li'an looked at Gong Li's side face and did not continue to comfort her. He just gently held her hand and asked her to find a good script for her after returning to the capital. All he could do was help her behind the scenes.

Li Xue, who was on the other side, looked at the figures of Chen Li'an and Gong Li leaning together. A trace of envy flashed in his heart. His eyes fell on his fingers and he subconsciously shrank into his sleeves.

This was a gift she bought for herself in the name of Chen Li'an, just to put an end to her regrets.

After the plane landed in Beijing, Chen Li'an stayed in Beijing for a few days and then flew to Yangcheng. First, he stopped by to see the Miss Universe contest, and second, he went to Lixin Electronics to see new products and complete the layout of the mobile phone industry.

This year's Miss Universe competition is more lively than last year, with more people participating. Last year's award-winning contestants have all developed well this year, some have entered the industry, and some have become professional models.

Chen Li'an watched in Shenzhen for two days, chatted with Cheng Shufen about the talent show, and then went to Yangcheng.

The second generation of Magic Flute player has been successfully developed. It has made great breakthroughs in sound quality and memory. The memory has doubled. The second generation product will definitely become a popular product next year.

Now many manufacturers have begun to develop similar products, and many MP3 players have appeared. There are also manufacturers who want to authorize the LNA format, and Li Fuzhen has authorized them all.

Sony and Microsoft also launched their own audio formats and began to compete with LNA and MP3 formats to seize the market.

Mo Flute's holding on to the LNA format will only destroy its future. The more manufacturers use the LNA format, the more money Mo Flute will make and the larger its market share will be. It's like an operating system. The bigger the ecology is, the more it will stand. In an invincible position.

As for whether it will affect the development of motorcycle music players, Chen Li'an is not worried. They still have Magic Flute Music and first-mover advantages, so they are not afraid of competition at all.

Magic Flute Music is currently developing very smoothly. Chen Li'an is not too worried. He is mainly worried about the layout of the mobile phone industry.

If you want to produce mobile phones in China, you must have mobile phone cameras. There are very few domestic manufacturers that have obtained licenses. Bird started to apply for a license when it started building factories last year and advertising, but it has not applied yet.

Lixin is also applying for a production license now, but it will take time to successfully obtain the license, but Chen Li'an is not in a hurry. Domestic mobile phones are still in a blank stage, and there is plenty of time.

However, when applying for a license, you must also build a factory and establish a complete supply chain.

Sanxin does not have a layout in the mobile phone industry in China. Chen Li'an still has to cooperate with Kejian. They have independent and complete production lines and are independently developed.

After Chen Li'an held a meeting in Lixin for a few days, he led his team to Shencheng to discuss cooperation with Visible. Lixin didn't have much else but had a lot of money, so it was very easy to cooperate.

The only trouble is that Shencheng requires Lixin to build a factory in Shencheng. Lixin has always cooperated well with the local area in Yangcheng, and various policies and benefits are also very good. Now if the factory is built in Shencheng.

Chen Li'an was a little irritated. This was difficult to do. Yangcheng was still actively helping Lixin apply for a license. He couldn't give up the opportunity to apply for a license.

After returning from Kejian, Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu talked for a long time in the hotel room. In the end, they still did not agree to the terms and could only continue to negotiate with Kejian.

The subsequent negotiations were very difficult, and it took nearly two weeks of back and forth before finally reaching a cooperation. Chen Li'an spent a lot of money on this, but he didn't feel bad.

Anyway, they are all made abroad, and Magic Flute can now bring in a lot of profits every day. The profits of music players are far greater than VCDs, not to mention the licensing fees for audio formats and Magic Flute music.

Chen Li'an had his own reasons for choosing to cooperate with Kejian. He really had technology, but his development was really rubbish. As the first listed mobile phone company, it suffered from poor management and delisted in 2004.

For a state-owned enterprise with technology to be unable to defeat Waveguide, we can only say that it is too incompetent. However, the main reason is that Kejian cooperates with Sanxin and can directly OEM Sanxin models, which makes it lose its research and development capabilities.

Chen Li'an is just waiting to step on Ke Jian's corpse in a few years and absorb his nutrients to strengthen himself.

Although Sanxin is willing to cooperate, they will become competitors in a few years. The honeymoon period for cooperation is only a few years away. Moreover, Chen Li'an does not want to become another science and technology construction company. Sanxin will not bring out the core technology.

If it wants to survive for a long time, Lixin must have its own technology. Without technology, it can only be an assembly plant.

Bird is also a good example. It once dominated the country, but was later beaten to death with a stick.

Chen Li'an does not expect Lixin Mobile to dominate the country. As long as it can survive and continue to accumulate technology, it will have a place in the future sooner or later.

After concluding the negotiation with Kejian, Chen Li'an flew to Tokyo to meet with Li Fuzhen. Qiao Linmu was involved in the early stage of the mobile phone matter, and Li Fuzhen would be needed later, but he still had to meet with her to discuss the plan in detail.

In the hotel, after Chen Li'an and Li Fuzhen finished chatting, she looked at Chen Li'an and said, "You seem to have been guarding against Sanxin?"

Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course, you can regard Lixin as Cijie. Sooner or later, the relationship between you and Sanxin will become competitors."

Li Fuzhen nodded. She was well aware of the grudges and grudges between chaebols. Even if she was Sanxin's daughter, she would become a competitor in the future.

"From the time you and I cooperated to become independent from Sanxin, everything was doomed, so be prepared in advance."

Chen Li'an looked at Li Fuzhen's thick hair and gently scratched her hair a few times with his fingers. Li Fuzhen squinted his eyes like a kitten and snorted comfortably.

"I got on your pirate ship, and now it seems I can't get off." Li Fuzhen leaned into Chen Li'an's arms and murmured.

Chen Li'an smiled softly, kissed her on the forehead and said, "Then don't do it, this pirate ship will become a giant ship in the future."

Li Fuzhen himself also knew that Sanxin had nothing to do with him anymore. He would inherit at most some inheritance in the future, and it would be very small. The most important thing was to grow up with Chen Li'an.

After Chen Li'an and Li Jianxi talked last time, Li Fuzhen went to plead with Li Jianxi again. She is now equivalent to a married daughter.

"Li'an, will you always support me?" Li Fuzhen looked up at Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an rubbed her head and said, "Of course, I am willing to be the man behind you."

Li Fuzhen felt something strange behind him and couldn't help but twist and said, "Is it behind this?"

Chen Li'an laughed and said, "Don't you like it best when I'm behind your back?"

Li Fuzhen leaned in Chen Li'an's arms, looked up at his chin, opened his mouth and bit his chin.

This time it was like dry wood and a fire, and the atmosphere in the room was on fire.

While Chen Li'an and Li Fuzhen were having sex, Li Xue was in Ginza looking at a store being renovated with Ji Fa and Wang Zuxian.

"Are you alone? Where is Chen Li'an?" Ji Fa asked, looking at Li Xue. Wang Zuxian also frowned at Li Xue, waiting for his answer.

Li Xue immediately explained: "Mr. Chen and Mr. Li are discussing Li Xin and the Magic Flute, and they will be here tomorrow."

Ji Fa snorted angrily and said, "Now that we are engaged in high technology, we can no longer look down on these things."

Li Xue kept smiling and explained: "No, it's just that the matter is more urgent and the investment is relatively large, so that's why we go there first. Mr. Chen still attaches great importance to our side."

Wang Zuxian sighed leisurely, looked at Li Xue and asked, "Then when will he come over tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow morning, Mr. Chen will have to attend the Magic Flute spokesperson signing conference and go to Fuji TV. He won't have time to come over in the afternoon."

After speaking, Li Xue handed a bag in her hand to Wang Zuxian and said, "These are new products designed by Mr. Chen during this period. Two of them are specially designed for you."

Wang Zuxian took it, took out the design drafts, looked through them for a while, and couldn't help laughing. Then she took out the design drafts alone and kept them. She was going to find a master to make them.

Ji Fa came over and asked curiously: "Show me the design."

Wang Zuxian shook her head and said: "No, you can see for yourself. Didn't he also design one for you?"

Ji Fa said in disgust: "It's so ugly, show me yours."

"No." Wang Zuxian snorted, took the things and left.

Ji Fa looked at her back and raised his hand to look at his design draft. He felt a little disgusted, but he still put it away.

Li Xue saw the corner of the design draft and her fair face blushed slightly. She didn't expect Chen Li'an to design that kind of clothes.

After Ji Fa put away the design drafts, he looked at Li Xue and asked, "By the way, where is the painting Li An said he painted last time."

"At the hotel, Mr. Chen was preparing to use it to participate in this year's Tokyo Art Exhibition." Li Xue explained.

Ji Fa frowned slightly and said, "Didn't he say that he would announce it to the public as an anonymous person? Why would he want to participate in an art exhibition again?"

Li Xue shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know the details."

"I'll ask him myself." Ji Fa didn't take it to heart. He looked at Li Xue and asked with interest, "Do you want to go have dinner together?"

Li Xue hesitated for a moment, but was pulled away by Ji Fa before she could refuse.

"Let's go, I know there is a very good izakaya." Ji Fa pulled Li Xue out without saying anything, and asked curiously: "How is your drinking capacity?"

"It's okay, I don't usually like drinking."

“The sake here is very good, you must try it!”

"I'm not very good at drinking."

"It doesn't matter. I'm here. It's okay to get drunk."

On the streets of Ginza in the evening, two girls disappeared into the crowd while chatting and laughing.

When Chen Li'an got up the next morning, he unexpectedly didn't see Li Xue. He called her and found out that Ji Fa had gotten him drunk last night.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, remembering that he seemed to have forgotten to remind Li Xue, and he didn't know if anything happened after he was drunk last night.

At around eight o'clock, Chen Li'an and Li Fuzhen went to attend the signing ceremony of Hamasaki Ayumi and The Magic Flute together. Hamasaki was very young and was not shy when he saw Chen Li'an. He chatted with Chen Li'an openly and even talked about Fukada Kyoko.

Hearing the name Fukada Kyoko, Chen Li'an suddenly remembered that two years ago, Fukada Kyoko, Sakai Noriko and the others came together to "uncover the rules" for themselves.

Kyoko Fukada was only sixteen years old at that time, but she seemed to be an adult now. Chen Li'an thought of Kyoko Fukada's small beam and couldn't help tapping his fingers.

"Li'an-kun?" Hamasaki waved his hand in front of Chen Li'an and said with a smile: "Li'an-kun, are you thinking about Kyoko? She often mentions you to me and admires you very much."

Chen Li'an looked at her in surprise and asked, "You talk about me a lot? What do you say?"

"I say you are very talented and very gentle when we get along." Hamasaki said with a smile.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but squint his eyes. He had met Fukada Kyoko once, and they got along very gently.

Chen Li'an looked at Hamasaki Ayumi and said with a smile: "Are you and her good friends?"

Ayumi Hamasaki nodded immediately and said: "Yes, I am a very good friend. I have always heard Kyoko talk about you, but I didn't expect that there would be an opportunity to cooperate this time."

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "Then I'll invite Kyoko to have dinner with me next time. It's getting late now. Let's go out and sign the contract."

"Okay." Hamasaki stood up immediately and followed Chen Li'an out.

After the signing, Chen Li'an called Sakai Noriko and asked her to bring Fukada Kyoko to see him tomorrow.

On the way to Fuji TV, Li Fuzhen looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Can you speak Japanese?"

"I only know a few words and don't have time to learn." Chen Li'an put away the phone and said with a smile.

"Then why don't you learn Korean?"

"Because you have learned Chinese, I like you to be my translator. Do you watch the Japanese translator movie? We can watch it together next time and learn from it."

"I always feel that what you say is not serious."

Chen Li'an smiled and said nothing, discussing why film art is not serious.

Soon the car arrived at the entrance of Fuji TV. After getting off the car, Chen Li'an looked at the Fuji TV building and remembered the scene of the bombing of Tokyo.

After finishing all these things, Chen Li'an felt that he still had to stop and think about art. The money he made now was too much to spend, so he would leave it to Li Fuzhen to manage it in the future.

Go make art yourself!

"I really want to do it again."

Chen Li'an couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the clean walls of the Fuji TV building, and saw his old friend Ido Muruji walking towards him.

Ido Muruji enthusiastically greeted him and said: "Li Yasu-kun! Long time no see. Welcome to Tokyo!"

In the past, Ido Muruji treated Chen Li'an as an artist, but now he treats him as a financial sponsor.

After all, there is no way to refuse a donation of one million US dollars! The festival is facing financial difficulties right now, so a million dollars would be a life saver! Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to help Chen Li'an connect with Fuji TV.
