Jin Hongwei had fallen.
When Lu Chen received the news, he had just finished recording the latest episode of The Voice of China.
The call came from Beijing, and the informant was Lu Xi.
His sister was obviously very happy. Even Lu Chen, who was thousands of miles away, could feel her gloating mood.
Jin Hongwei's fall was actually a little unjust.
The cause of the incident was that Shonan TV suddenly cut off its cooperation with Juxing Corporation and killed a big project that Jin Hongwei was working on. As a result, it led to a series of repercussions, which eventually led to the downfall of this big shot in the entertainment industry.
Originally, Jin Hongwei was fine. Shonan TV cutting off their cooperation would at most deal a heavy blow to his career. However, he had made too many enemies in the industry, and had been too arrogant and domineering in the past. In the end, he was reported for contract fraud and was invited to the police station for tea.
Then, when the police searched Juxing Corporation, they found a lot of illegal evidence. The worst thing was that they found a large amount of drugs in Jin Hongwei's house.
This time, Jin Hongwei's life was really at stake. The domestic attitude towards drug crimes had always been extremely strict. No matter how powerful Jin Hongwei was, he would still be sentenced to death if he touched this red line.
The drugs he hid in the villa were not for his own use, but to control several of his artists. Such shameful methods were nothing new in the entertainment industry. Being caught in the act was a big deal.
Lu Xi said, "Just based on the drugs he hid, he should be sentenced to life imprisonment at the very least!"
Jin Hongwei had connections in the upper echelons, but not only could his connections not help him at this time, they even became his death talisman. More dirty deeds were exposed, but they were controlled by public opinion, so ordinary people did not know about it.
In short, this time, Jin Hongwei was 100% done for. He would basically spend the rest of his life in prison. The famous Juxing Corporation in the industry had already fallen, becoming a fat piece of meat that people in the industry fought over.
To be honest, if it weren't for his sister's call, Lu Chen would have almost forgotten about Jin Hongwei.
However, Lu Chen did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for his misfortune. Instead, he felt delighted.
Jin Hongwei had done so many filthy things, it was too late for him to receive his retribution.
What he didn't expect was that what Lu Xi said was actually related to him.
That was, the reason why Shonan TV interrupted its cooperation with Juxing Corporation, causing Jin Hongwei to be pushed down by everyone, was because Shonan TV intended to repair its relationship with him.
Lv Zhen Hai, the deputy director and program director of Shonan TV, expressed his appreciation for Lu Chen in public!
Lu Xi said disdainfully, "Even they have such a day. If they knew this day would come, they wouldn't have done it in the first place!"
Her sister had always been brooding over Shonan TV's suppression of Lu Chen in the past two years. Today, she finally had her revenge. "It's too late!"
Lu Chen smiled and sighed in his heart. The world was really unpredictable.
After ending the call with Lu Xi, Chen Fei'er asked curiously, "What happened?"
When her sister called, she was next to Lu Chen. She vaguely heard something, but she didn't hear it clearly.
So, Lu Chen told her the whole story.
Chen Fei'er also felt delighted after hearing it. "This person should have been dealt with long ago. He's too disgusting!"
Back then, she had signed with Juxing Corporation, so she had a good understanding of Jin Hongwei's character. If it weren't for Tan Hong's help, it wouldn't have been easy to get out of this big hole. Fortunately, she escaped in time.
After successfully leaving Juxing Corporation, Chen Fei'er opened her own studio and had a new career development.
Even Chen Fei'er, who had always been kind and had a good reputation in the circle, was gloating over Jin Hongwei's misfortune. Needless to say, Jin Hongwei's enemies were even more so. Now that he was in prison, there were naturally some people who secretly pushed him — at least, it could make Jin Hongwei's backer shrink back.
The downfall of Jin Hongwei actually didn't affect Lu Chen much. Instead, it was Shonan TV's intention to repair their relationship with him, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Although the ratings had been declining in recent years, Shonan TV was still the number one local satellite TV station. It had a huge influence in the industry and was very strong.
Although Lu Chen wasn't afraid of Shonan TV at all, if Shonan TV was willing to put down their status, he wouldn't slap them in the face and offend them to death. Because there was no deep hatred between the two sides, it was nothing more than a dispute of interests.
Jin Hongwei was finished, and the original grievances could almost be resolved. If Shonan TV came up with enough sincere conditions to cooperate with him, Lu Chen could fully consider it.
His cooperation with Beijing Television and Zhedong Satellite TV was very pleasant, but it was impossible for Chenfei Media to put all the eggs in one or two baskets.
Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't think about these things now, and he also left Jin Hongwei behind.
While "China's Voice" was stepping up the recording, the negotiations between Happy Entertainment and QQ Games, after more than a week of tug-of-war, finally had a result.
QQ Games fully acquired Happy Network and "Happy Farm" at a price of 575 million yuan, which was several times higher than their initial offer, which could be described as full of sincerity.
What Happy Entertainment paid was not only the phenomenal casual game "Happy Farm", but also the subsequent development version of "Happy Farm", as well as the copyrights of derivative games such as "Happy Fishery" and "Happy Ranch".
This acquisition could be described as a win-win situation. Happy Entertainment got a sum of cash that was urgently needed for expansion, and QQ Games also got a heavyweight product, which not only completely made up for the previous weaknesses, but also relied on the powerful resources of QQ to recover the cost and realize profits.
On June 24, the two sides signed a formal transfer contract in Hangzhou.
The negotiation team from Beijing played an important role in it. Without the help of several foreign aid, it was really impossible for Happy Entertainment to bite off a piece of meat from QQ Games alone.
And this deal also caused a great sensation in the industry. Everyone didn't expect that the newly emerged Happy Entertainment would actually sell the hen that laid the golden eggs.
In many people's view, Happy Entertainment was killing the goose that laid the golden eggs, and even looked down on Lu Chen, the actual controller of Happy Entertainment, a little bit, thinking that he didn't have a long-term vision and only cared about the small profits in front of him.
Lu Chen just smiled at such remarks.
Others only knew that he sold a golden hen, but they didn't know that he had a flock of golden hens. He sold one in order to build a bigger and better chicken coop in a short time.
The start of Happy Entertainment has just begun, and "Happy Farm" will by no means be the last glory!
