Wanda, which has been in constant turmoil since the second half of last year, can now stimulate the nerves of the outside world.
Recently, news has been reported that executives of Wanda Group's film and television sector companies have changed. Jiang Defu, general manager of Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Wanda Film and Television), and Que Wenxiong, general manager of Wuzhou Film Distribution Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Wuzhou Distribution), have both resigned, and Lincoln Zhang, chairman of the board of directors of American theater companies AMC (i.e., president of Wanda Culture Group and chairman of Wanda Film, Zhang Lin), has also resigned from the board of directors of AMC.
On the afternoon of March 15, on the phone, Jiang Defu confirmed the resignation to the reporter of "Daily Economic News". However, Jiang Defu said that it was inconvenient to say anything about personnel changes in other film and television companies in Wanda Group. Some commented that the personnel change was because Wanda Film and Television, Wuzhou Distribution and AMC's performance in 2017 did not meet the goals set by the group. As for whether the above analysis is true, Jiang Defu just told the reporter of "Daily Economic News" that "it is a personal reason. I am too tired and want to take a break." (Source: Meijing.com)
