On the evening of June 24, according to reliable internal sources, Li Haipeng, the producer and editor-in-chief of "Mr. Esquire", resigned today and has left the company, who has been in charge of "Mr. Esquire" for more than two years. It is reported that his next step will be to join the "Tingdong Pictures" founded by Han Han as chief content officer.

Public information shows that Li Haipeng has been in the media industry for many years. He has been a senior reporter for Southern Weekend, a columnist for First Financial Weekly, a special director of GQ, and an editor-in-chief of People magazine. Later, he served as the producer of all products of Mr. Fashion and editor-in-chief of the magazine.

In April 2014, Li Haipeng left "People", stepped down as editor-in-chief, and joined "Mr. Fashion", which aroused discussion in the industry. Later, during his tenure, he established the "Feature Publishing Laboratory" to recruit outstanding feature reporters to join him. In the past two years, he exported many excellent works, such as "The Killing Incident in the Daxinganling","Self-statement of the Witnesses of the Pacific Escape","The News of the Invasion" has been confirmed ", etc., becoming a representative of excellent works in the print media. Among them, the article "Self-Statement of the Victims of the Pacific Escape" was purchased for film and television adaptation in early 2016, becoming a rare media report IP.

According to other sources, Tingdong Film was established by Han Han at the end of 2015 and has completed Series A financing. In April this year, Han Han gave a special speech at the Shanghai Concert Hall, announcing the merger of ONE and Tingdong Pictures. At present, in addition to spending 300 million yuan to shoot the movie "Made in the Sky", Tingdong Pictures will also adapt "Triple Gate" into a movie.

It is understood that a widely circulated story about the establishment of Tingdong Film Industry is: Ten years ago, Han Han and his brothers made an appointment and agreed to make a movie together one day. If the movie was successful, they would open a film company together. As a result, there was the director's debut in 2014. Show "Meet me forever", and then Tingdong Film in 2015.

When attending an investor conference recently, Han Han revealed that his second film would be launched this year. In his speech, he said that nowadays, the important proportion of stars in driving the box office of movies is gradually declining. On the contrary, the word-of-mouth effect of excellent content is getting stronger and stronger, so his films will definitely pay more attention to the production team.

Coincidentally, the first cover character of People magazine after its revision in 2014 was Han Han. Li Haipeng, then editor-in-chief, once quoted the famous line from "The Great Gatsby" in the opening line: "So we turned around the boat, went against the trend of the times, and drove towards the past without stopping."

However, earlier this year, Li Haipeng's view of the media industry had quietly changed. When he was a guest at Tencent News's "Mass Media Era" salon, he said at the scene that he was not optimistic about the future of the media industry and frankly said,"If the media ship is destined to sink, then change place."

The reporter found that in early June, Tingdong Film appeared in the place of a corporate legal person named "Volcano Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd."(Volcano Film). The registered capital of the company has also been adjusted from 350,000 to 437,500. It is reported that the company's business scope is: organization of cultural and artistic exchange activities (excluding performances); project investment; film and television planning; technology promotion services; economic and trade consulting; corporate planning; conference and exhibition services; stage lighting and sound design; product design; Computer graphic design and production; literary and artistic creation; investment management; photography services; etiquette services; rental of clothing, stage lighting and sound equipment.

Since the company was established in April 2015, its main business income that year was only 234,300. However, more information about the company was not available to reporters from public information channels. It is still unknown whether Li Haipeng, who gave up the media ship, will take over Volcano Photography.
