The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 643 Follow-up
"Boom boom boom!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Du Wenze hurriedly got up to answer it. Standing outside the door was his agent, Huo Wenxi, who was on his way when he made the call just now.

Huo Wenxi glanced around the room and asked, "Is Rui Ni here?"

She was asking about Du Wenze's wife.

"No." Du Wenze dragged her into the house and said anxiously, "It's already this late, how can you care about so many things? Tell me what happened."

When it comes to the gold medal agents in the entertainment industry, names like Qiu Liqin, Chen Shufen, and Wang Jinhua are naturally well-known, and Huo Wenxi is also one of the best among them.

She is known as the last gold medal agent in Hong Kong and also the most beautiful agent. Her appearance is somewhat similar to Lin Qingxia.

A few years ago, Huo Wenxi joined Feitu Entertainment, which is the predecessor of Yinghuang Entertainment.

During her career, she made Xie Tingfeng famous.

She has a wide network of contacts. If it weren't for her manipulation of the messy negative news about Xie Tingfeng, he would have been banned many times ago.

So far, Huo Wenxi has successfully signed and made more than 30 artists famous, including Du Wenze.

Therefore, when Du Wenzhe learned that he had been banned by mainland TV stations, he felt panic but not completely desperate.

He believed that there was still room for recovery.

Huo Wenxi explained: "Vulgar Comedy has done well at the box office, and we originally planned to arrange for you to appear on several programs on mainland TV stations to increase your popularity, including Hunan Satellite TV's Happy Camp and Dragon TV's China's Got Talent. But this morning I received a notice from the two TV stations that they already have new candidates."

“The two satellite TV stations can’t represent me being banned, right?” Du Wenze asked hopefully.

"I can't really represent you, but I felt something was wrong. I then called several other first-tier TV stations, including Zhejiang TV, Southern TV, Jiangsu TV, and Beijing TV. At first, they thought I had heard about your participation in the show, and they all agreed. But when I mentioned your name, they all refused."

Huo Wenxi paused for a moment and continued, "Even if I said Tingfeng would participate, they didn't show any sign of relenting. I even contacted some second-tier TV stations, but they all rejected you."

Although the new generation of Hong Kong circle has been ruined because of Chen Yingchao, Xie Tingfeng's popularity is still very high and he is one of the most representative figures of the young generation in Hong Kong circle.

Mainland TV stations welcomed him very much, and even the other party was rejected, which shows that the situation is very serious.

Hearing this, Du Wenze was really panicked, his heart in his throat: "Did they give a reason? Why?"

"Reason? Humph!" Huo Wenxi glared at him with dissatisfaction in his expression: "I was just about to ask you, what have you done recently? Have you offended the TV station?"

"No, I'm not a fool." Du Wenze quickly shook his head.

Although he has a bad temper and likes to swear, he is nicknamed "Cannon Mouth" by people in the Hong Kong circle. Rong Zuer from the same company has also had disputes with him many times.

But that doesn't mean he's stupid.

Compared with Hong Kong, the number of audiences in the mainland is as high as over one billion, and the market potential is huge.

Appearing on TV shows can significantly increase his exposure and popularity.

If he performs outstandingly in the show, he will also attract the attention of brands and businesses, thereby gaining more business cooperation opportunities.

These incomes often come faster than filming, and are also the main way for most Hong Kong artists to make money. How could he possibly offend the TV station?

"Think carefully!"

"Really not. Could it be because of the argument I had with netizens on Weibo a few days ago? But that doesn't matter. It's not like I haven't argued with people before."

Du Wenzhe paced back and forth in the living room anxiously, unable to figure out what was going on.

"Ding ding ding!" Huo Wenxi quickly took out her cell phone from her handbag and answered it: "Hello, Director Wang, it's me...Okay, thank you very much."

After the call ended, Du Wenze was about to ask something, but saw that Huo Wenxi looked very unhappy. He ignored him and quickly dialed another number.

"Hello, Mr. Wu, I'm Huo Wenxi..."

"Hello, Mr. Qin, long time no see"

"Director Zhao, eh, I understand, thank you."

"."

Huo Wenxi made more than ten phone calls in a row and sat down on the sofa with a gloomy face.

Du Wenze realized the seriousness of the situation and sat beside her nervously, his lips trembling slightly and licking constantly.

Huo Wenxi stared at him and spoke slowly: "Several TV stations in the mainland are competing for a spy drama."

"TV series?" Du Wenze didn't know what she meant by bringing this up. For some reason, the report he had just seen on his phone flashed through his mind.

"cliff"!
His eyes suddenly widened, and his voice trembled and raised: "You mean "Cliff", Lu Yuan?"

"Who else but him."

"Just because I defended the Academy Awards and said a few words about his fans?" Du Wenze asked in disbelief.

"Just?" Huo Wenxi stood up, his finger almost poking his nose, and scolded.

"I have warned you many times before not to get involved in this matter. He will not let it go if he gets ripped off by the Academy Awards. But you just didn't listen. Now, all the first-tier and second-tier TV stations have teamed up to ban you."

"What should we do now?" Du Wenze was completely panicked: "Where are the people on our side? I did all this for the reputation of the Academy Awards. I called them and I have made a contribution."

He frantically reached for his cell phone.

"That's enough!" Huo Wenxi shouted angrily, "Didn't you see I just made more than a dozen calls? It's useless. Give up on this idea."

"How can it be useless? That's not what they said at the party yesterday." Du Wenze was unwilling to accept it.

At Zeng Zhiwei's 60th birthday party yesterday, many people raised their red wine glasses, patted him on the shoulders and said that they would help him solve any problems.

Huo Wenxi sneered: "Everyone can talk big. They really want to help you solve it, but who do they think they are? The other side doesn't buy it at all."

"You don't buy it, why?"

"Why? Just because he is Lu Yuan, and the TV series he is about to shoot is a spy film. Do you know how much money he can make for the TV station with one show?

Several TV stations are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to snatch his drama. Do you really think they can help you out with just a phone call? Are you dreaming?"

Du Wenze collapsed on the sofa with his mouth half open, powerless. He had not expected this, nor did he expect the other party to be so cruel. He began to regret it.

"How about I go and apologize to him?" He really had no idea.

Seeing him like this, Huo Wenxi looked at him with contempt. Didn't he think about this situation before betting?
"Do you think he'll admit he did it?"

"Then what should I do? I..."

"Okay, although he can stop you from appearing on TV, he can't control you in the film industry. Director Wang Jing's "The King of Macau" is about to start filming, with Chow Yun-fat in the lead, playing the God of Gamblers again, and Ting Feng, the male second. This movie will definitely be a hit at the box office, and he will give you a role."

"Really?" Du Wenze straightened up suddenly.

Huo Wenxi looked down on him even more: "Watch your mouth. You have no chance to be on TV. Don't provoke others in the future. If you want to be in the limelight, you have to have strong capital. If you keep talking nonsense, no one can save you."

November 4, Beijing.

Lu Yuan woke up naturally after a long time and walked into the bathroom with messy hair.

Yesterday evening, the filming of "My Love from the Star" was successfully completed. The crew then held a wrap-up dinner in Hengdian. After the dinner, everyone dispersed.

He returned to the capital at around two o'clock in the morning, feeling somewhat tired.

In the bathroom, Lu Yuan hummed a tuneless little song and took a ten-minute shower. He felt refreshed when he came out. Everything was done. He felt hungry, so he rubbed his stomach and walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

Before going on promotional trip, Liu Shishi stuffed a lot of food into the refrigerator.

There were a lot of things, but when Lu Yuan looked at the full storage room, he started to feel lazy and didn't want to do anything.

He picked up an apple, rinsed it briefly, and took a few bites.

I returned to the bedroom, dug out my cell phone from my wrinkled clothes, and glanced at the screen. It was eleven o'clock in the morning. I immediately had an idea and decided to go next door for lunch.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he quickly opened WeChat and exchanged a few words with Jiang Wei.

The incident originated on the 14th when Du Wenze made outrageous remarks on the Internet and Lu Yuan immediately called Wu Lang.

After some investigation, Wu Lang sorted out the other party's detailed information and past statements.

After reading it, Lu Yuan called Jiang Wei without hesitation. There was no problem in taking action against Du Wenze.

In the first half of this year, he has two TV series to shoot. "My Love from the Star" has been successfully completed, and the next highlight is "The Cliff".

The director is Jiang Wei.

In 2008, when Jiang Wei was preparing for "The Disguiser", Lu Yuan received a notice from his mentor Wang Jinsong and happily went there.

In order to increase his chances of playing the leading role, he brought the script outline of "The Cliff". Jiang Wei loved it and after thinking for a moment, he gave him the role of Yu Zecheng.

After the hit of "The Hidden Corner", Jiang Wei repeatedly urged him to start the filming plan of "The Cliff" as soon as possible.

However, Lu Yuan delayed for various reasons, and this delay lasted for five years.

Jiang Wei used this time to make careful preparations and even went to Harbin to live for several months. He repeatedly played out the cast and shooting details in his mind no less than a hundred times.

During the filming of "My Love from the Star", the preparation work for "The Cliff" was also progressing simultaneously.

The original plan was to announce his role in a spy drama after the filming of "Star" was completed.

But with the appearance of Du Wenze, Lu Yuan decided to let Jiang Wei announce to the media in advance that "The Cliff" was about to start filming.

As soon as the news came out, major domestic television stations took action.

Following Lu Yuan's instructions, Jiang Wei only made a simple request.

Afterwards, Du Wenze was soft-banned by all major TV stations, and everything went exceptionally smoothly.

For major TV stations, this is not a big deal.

In the past few days, people kept calling and asking questions about Du Wenze.

There were the heads of entertainment companies in Hong Kong, producers and directors in the industry, but they were all evaded by Lu Yuan.

What a joke, he is just an ordinary little actor, how could he have such great abilities?

If he is really that powerful, why was "New World" nominated for 12 Academy Awards but only won one?

Lu Yuan switched his phone interface to Weibo.

The Academy Awards remain silent, and Du Wenze has closed the comment section and dares not speak out.

Three days have passed since Jiang Wei announced that "The Cliff" would be filmed soon.

However, the topic #The King of Spy Wars Returns Again# still topped the Weibo list.

After all, it has been three years since the spy drama "Before Dawn" was broadcast in 2010, and the audience has been looking forward to the spy drama for a long time.

When Lu Yuan knocked on the door, his nephew Zhou Qi opened it.

"Where's your mother?"

Zhou Qi watched "The Lotus Lantern" last month and clamored to challenge his uncle.

When Lu Yuan attended the celebration party for "Seattle", before returning to Shanghai, someone came to the neighborhood at night and frightened him so much that he cried for his parents.

Zhou Qi was a little scared, so she took out a lollipop from the pocket in front of her belly, handed it to him in a flattering manner, and answered softly, "Mom is going to attend a parent-teacher meeting for my sister."

Lu Yuan squatted down, rubbed his head, and asked: "What about your dad?"

"Dad is making lunch in the kitchen." Zhou Qi had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt a chill in his lower body. He looked down and found that his pants had been pulled down by his bad uncle.

He ran to the living room naked, and in his panic he accidentally stepped on the golden retriever's tail, causing the golden retriever to cry out in pain.

Zhou Mingyuan heard the noise outside, stuck his head out of the kitchen, saw his son's naked bottom, and couldn't help but laugh: "Wake up, you're still here, I was waiting for lunch to be ready, so I asked Qiqi to call you, come over and give me a hand."

Lu Yuan gave his nephew a look and went in to help with a lollipop in his mouth.

Zhou Mingyuan wore an apron, looking like a chef. He asked, "How many days do you plan to rest this time?"

"A week or so."

"With such a rush, will "Cliff" start filming this month?"

"That's not the case. The filming will start in late April or early May. The main reason is that Shi Shi's "So Young" is released, Cheng Er's "Border" and Han Han's "See You Tomorrow" have also started to promote. I want to go and take a look."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded and thought of something: "By the way, I saw a report about "Chinese Partners" these days. This movie will be released soon."

"July." Lu Yuan replied. He has two movies released this year.

"Chinese Partners" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", one in the middle of the year and the other at the end of the year.

Initially, Zhou Xinchi planned to release "Journey to the West" during the Spring Festival last year, but due to disagreements with Huayi on the selection of the leading actors in the early stages, the filming of the movie was never started.

After Lu Yuan was confirmed as the lead actor, the filming was not completed until October last year, missing the 2013 Spring Festival schedule and having to wait until next year.

While picking beans, Lu Yuan asked, "How is the cooperation with NetEase going?"

"It has been agreed. The live streaming platform is called Panda. Our game studio holds a 32% stake, and Wang Sicong's Pusi Capital holds a 32% stake, totaling 64%. The remaining 36% belongs to NetEase." Zhou Mingyuan replied.

"Hey, that's strange, why doesn't NetEase take over the controlling stake?"

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head: "They don't seem to be optimistic about the prospects of this area, so they only took a small amount of cash plus the exclusive broadcasting rights of the game as a share."

"It's up to you."

The two were chatting when they heard the door open, followed by Lu Jia's cursing.

"Zhou Yaoyao, tell me what you learned in school? Your grades are not good, and the teacher said that you always talk to your deskmate in class, disturbing others. What, are you a chatterbox?"

"Mom, I didn't talk to my deskmate. We just passed a small note around and it didn't affect anyone else."

"you!!"

"You can pass the note after class."

"Mom, why do we have to pass notes after class? I can just talk directly."

"Zhou! Yao! Yao!!"
