Actor: Thank you.

On the other side, the Huayi office building.

The door of a high-end office was pushed open by a woman in a hurry.

The two men in the room raised their heads at the same time.

"Sister Haiqiong is here."

The younger of the two men was the first to say hello.

This guy has a small round head, black-framed glasses and a big beard.

He smiled and stepped aside.

"Should I leave?" he asked the visitor.

"No need, I just need to ask a question and then I'll leave. I won't delay your work."

The person who came was a few years younger than Xu Qing, so he was not young anymore.

But she is very beautiful.

After all, she played Su Daji, so it’s impossible for her not to be beautiful.

This person is Huayi’s contracted artist Luo Haiqiong.

My elder sister was also very pretty when she was young.

I don’t know why, but as I get older, my facial features become more and more dull, and I look a bit rustic.

But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what she looks like. She will still have plenty of roles to play.

The key reason lies in the second man in the room.

"What is that matter?"

This middle-aged man named Fei Ling has become the head of the agency department of Huayi Brothers since Sister Hua "left".

He also serves as the vice president of Huayi.

He is basically one of the people with the most say in this company, besides the two Wang brothers.

The person who was talking to him just now was called Zong Shuai, and he was this person's subordinate.

He is also a well-known figure in the imperial circle in the future, and is particularly good at planning and hype.

The series of operational arrangements for Wu Qian's return to China in later generations were all done by this person.

Now, the veteran actors from the entertainment industry under Huayi, such as Zhang Hanyu and Xu Fan, are all managed by these two people.

Luo Haiqiong was the official girlfriend and future wife of the vice president of Huayi.

When the two ice skaters were competing for the top spot, and now it's Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun competing for the top spot, Luo Haiqiong has already won the title of "Hua Yi's Sister-in-law" by virtue of her relationship with Fei Ling.

The first sister is too low-end!

When Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun were having a hot affair, Sister Luo had already used her connections to get a share in Huayi's internal stock allotment, second only to the two big bosses Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Jizhong.

In the end, it's not about rewarding based on merit, but rather based on relationships.

Can Luo Haiqiong's commercial value be compared with Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun?
But his status is higher than yours!

Luo Haiqiong came here today because of the commercial value.

"Let's put this matter aside for now." Fei Ling pressed his hand and smiled at his girlfriend awkwardly.

"put?"

"How to put it?"

"Give up!"

Sister Luo's voice suddenly rose.

"It seems that this is the only way for now." He smiled innocently at his girlfriend.

"No... such a big business was snatched away like that, and you didn't even react at all?" Sister Luo was extremely surprised by her boyfriend's reaction.

The thing is actually very simple.

Actors live on film pay, and celebrities live on endorsements.

Although Sister Luo is more of a serious drama actress, she is always able to get better business resources by being close to the big boss.

This time, there is an endorsement for an imported health care product brand. The project target is very high, exceeding 10 million in three years.

After hearing about it, Fei Ling did not inform other management teams in the company, but directly took it on and helped his girlfriend make the contact.

Good food should be saved for your own people.

We had a good chat and it went pretty smoothly.

Until recently when we contacted each other again, the other company suddenly informed us that they had already decided on an endorsement candidate.

Luo Haiqiong was stunned when he heard this.

We were talking well, but suddenly it was over.

Such a huge sum of money!
So he went to ask Fei Ling if there was any chance of relief.

It was not a big deal to ask this question. After using some connections and finding out more information, I found out that it was Zhang Yuan's company that intercepted the project.

Sister Luo is the "sister-in-law", so of course she knows about Huayi and Zhang Yuan.

I felt that this matter was not that simple.

"This kid and I have no grudges in the past, nor do we have any hatred today. We are not very familiar with each other."

"Could it be that they want to use me as a target because of my identity?"

The incident involving Yao Cheng was still fresh in people’s minds and was the topic of conversation for many people within Huayi.

Through this person, everyone realized that this usually polite young man actually had quite dirty hands.

And he is particularly good at killing people with blunt knives.

Sister Luo felt that something was not right, so she asked Fei Ling to investigate quickly and talk to the two brothers of the Wang family.

Didn’t they just “reconcile”?

Why are you here again?
Was this armistice agreement written with toilet paper?

They are not annual disposable, but monthly disposable.

Fei Ling also agreed with her idea, so he went to investigate in depth, which led to the current situation.

And his helpless expression at this moment.

"Don't worry, I'll find you something better later."

"In other words, you're really giving up on such a big order?" Sister Luo's already big eyes widened even wider.

"There's nothing I can do." Fei Ling spread his hands helplessly.

"The Wang brothers don't care about this?"

“Artists’ jobs are taken away, and they earn less, so don’t they care?”

“This is not their style!”

Mr. Fei took a breath.

It’s not that the Wang brothers don’t want to take care of it, but that they can’t.

The fact is, Luo Haiqiong overestimates himself.

Zhang Yuan had no intention of targeting her at all.

This incident is merely a concrete manifestation of the phrase "What's your business if I destroy you?"

Because this endorsement is not for himself.

Nor are they his artists.

Instead, Yang Siwei found the one for the "eldest young lady" according to his instructions.

Normally, if there were no such person as Guo Jingjing, this kind of work would usually be assigned to Cheng Hao.

Because of Cheng Hao's image, he is very popular among middle-aged and elderly people.

These days, the average age of consumers of health products is still relatively old.

Unlike later generations, young people have started "cyber health" and joined the ranks of health care product consumers.

If Cheng Hao and Luo Haiqiong were to face off alone, with Hua Yi's support, they would really have a chance of winning.

However, this time the situation was one-sided.

Because Zhang Yuan and Yang Siwei took care of it, in order to find an endorsement for Guo Jingjing, they could use all the company's resources, even themselves.

Now, here it comes in handy!
The price Guo Jingjing paid for her 10 million yuan endorsement fee over three years was having to deal with her boss Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan only received 300 million in two years, which was equivalent to giving Guo Jingjing a " billion subsidy."

Merchants also do background checks, they are not stupid.

Athletes are more suitable for health supplements.

Back then, "Chinese Turtle Essence" dominated the Chinese market for a time thanks to the advertisements of the famous track and field group "Ma Family Army".

In addition, Zhang Yuan made such generous concessions.

Of course I'm willing to do whatever the merchant says is cost-effective.

Therefore, once this condition appears, Luo Haiqiong will be killed instantly and explosively.

There was no way to fight back.

After hearing what happened, Luo Haiqiong's eyes widened even more.

This kid is really risking money!
Then what’s the point of me playing?

"Mr. Wang also meant to let this matter alone for now," Fei Ling continued.

"The other party should not be targeting you."

“It’s just normal business competition.”

After Fei Ling said this, he found it funny himself.

Because these are Xiao Wang’s original words.

When has Wang Zhonglei ever been so rational and polite after his business was stolen?

But no way.

Not to mention the relationship between Guo Jingjing and the Hao family, they are not easy to mess with.

There are some good and some bad rumors about them.

Xiao Wang is not stupid. Seeing that Zhang Yuan is such a smart man and is working so hard this time, he knows that the matter between Guo Jingjing and the Hao family should be pretty good.

In addition, there is a senior in the swimming world, Fu Mingxia, who also married a Hong Kong celebrity.

Her husband is the former Financial Secretary of Hong Kong. He has worked for JPMorgan Chase and Blackstone, and later served as an independent director of two major domestic banks, China Merchants Bank and China Construction Bank. He is quite powerful.

It was also her contribution that made Guo Jingjing and the eldest son of the Huo family acquainted.

After much calculation, Xiao Wang decided that this was not an easy target to deal with.

Besides, even if we put these aside, let’s just talk about Guo Jingjing.

The diving queen who just won two gold medals at the Olympics in the imperial capital, bringing glory to the country.

The heat hasn't gone down yet.

If you mess with her, isn't that too much?
Is it possible for a "small, broken company like yours" to gain the reputation and reputation of the country?

Xiao Wang could only hold it in.

It was a rare moment of holding my breath and not making any movements.

He even took the initiative to say "it's just normal business competition" to shut Fei Ling up.

After listening to this, Sister Luo fell completely silent and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Fei Ling said a few words of comfort.

“There will be plenty of opportunities later.”

"Once the company goes public, it will be more competitive and have more cooperative brands. I will make up for it with my presence."

"As for Zhang Yuan, the director has chosen him to star in the company's new movie."

"Zhong Lei's meaning is also to use people first, which is good for the film."

"I'm also planning to invite Zhang Yuan to this year's annual meeting."

"Ah?" Sister Luo raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "Yes, Sister Haiqiong." Zong Shuai, who had been silent, spoke up.

Because he is the planner of major internal events of Huayi, and the annual meeting is also under his management.

The two largest annual meetings held by Huayi were in 08 and 09.

That is, before and after listing.

The purpose is still very clear.

After hearing this, Luo Haiqiong had nothing to say.

Looking at the couple in front of him, Zong Shuai shook his head secretly.

The good resources have all been taken by those with connections, and you are still not satisfied.

Not only Luo Haiqiong is a relative, but her husband Fei Ling is also.

Putting aside his academic qualifications and work experience, the reason Fei Ling can sit here and become a very influential person within Huayi is entirely because of his personal relationship with Xiao Wang.

This is Wang Zhonglei’s poker friend.

They are also members of the famous "Mahjong Friends Group" in the imperial circle, and are members of the good friends club of Class 1, Grade 6... that is, Wang Fei's group.

If Zhang Yuan wasn't too busy and hadn't had time to feed cards to the queen, he would have been pulled into the class by her long ago.

But he also couldn't get along with those old emperors.

Jing Gangshan, Li Yapeng, Zheng Jun, and later on, the articles written by Zhang Wen... they were all such people.

Each of them is extremely arrogant and crazy to no limit.

If it weren't for this relationship, Luo Haiqiong would never have been able to participate in the TV series called "I Really Want to Fall in Love".

Jiang Wenli, Na Ying, Liang Jing and her.

The four heroines are all senior figures in the imperial circle, and the men behind them are all well-connected people in the circle.

When Zong Shuai saw them like this, he thought to himself that he couldn't stay in Huayi forever.

Because there is no way out!

The seats have already been taken by people with connections.

And you guys aren't that great either.

How long has Zhang Yuan been in the industry?
I haven’t heard of any background from the previous generation or the generation before that.

As a result, you can't do anything to them now.

Well, if you put it this way, it seems that Zhang Yuan has greater development potential...

Companies are like countries.

If the internal promotion channels are controlled by the 4+4 system and the like, the end result will be a stagnant pool that will not be able to accommodate truly talented people.

Therefore, we must be bold in hiring people and have a broad vision.

While Hua Yi was still focusing on his small piece of land in the imperial capital, Zhang Yuan was already making great strides in the magic capital.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yuan drank a small glass of white wine, and everyone at the table applauded.

The crew of "Slam Dunk" has already rushed to the next announcement location.

And Zhang Yuan stayed in the Magic City.

In the evening, I had dinner with old friends from Shanghai TV and new friends from Shanghai Film Studio.

Yang Lei, who had been familiar with him for a long time, and Cao Kefan, who had visited his home last time, were also there.

"Sister Lei, I heard that you and my brother Wang Wei broke up." After three rounds of drinks, Zhang Yuan took the opportunity to have a drink with Yang Lei and talked about this.

"Hey..." Yang Lei's face froze, and then he answered.

When the colleagues from Shanghai TV station heard Zhang Yuan's words, they all kept silent, but they were also eavesdropping quietly.

"In this world, separation and reunion are normal."

"You don't have to worry too much." Zhang Yuan pretended to comfort her and raised his glass to clink with hers.

"I hope you can get over it as soon as possible. Some are good. If not, I can introduce you to some."

"You're welcome." Yang Lei understood that he meant well, so he agreed.

"It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are plenty of two-legged men."

"Besides, if you lose a man, you can always find another one. At least you still have money."

"Money?" Yang Lei raised an eyebrow and repeated in confusion.

"Money, what is Wang Wei's current net worth? Tudou.com is the number one in China right now."

"Others may not understand, but am I not clear about it?"

"You are his official wife, and you are protected by law."

"Even if we break up, you can still get a lot of compensation."

"Logically, you should be a rich woman now."

Ahem... The people at the Modu station were clearing their throats and looking at the ceiling.

what happened?

Isn’t Zhang Yuan always known for his high emotional intelligence?
Why are you hitting Yang Lei's lungs today?

Could it be that he drank too quickly and got drunk?
Yang Lei's expression at this moment was extremely embarrassed.

He hesitated several times, his lips trembled several times, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Yup!

I am your legitimate and legal wife!

That's how he treated me.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Wang Wei...he didn't give me any compensation." Yang Lei replied in a low voice.

"Ah!" Zhang Yuan stretched his neck in an extremely exaggerated manner.

"No way?"

"you sure?"

"Yes." The other party replied after a sigh.

"Ouch... I spoke out of turn. I shouldn't have said that."

"Come, I'll make you a drink as punishment. Don't take it to heart." Zhang Yuan quickly drank a glass of white wine himself.

"It's okay." She smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine.

"So what are your plans next?" Zhang Yuan asked cautiously.

"Uh... no." Yang Lei hesitated for a moment and then answered firmly.

But in her hesitation, Zhang Yuan keenly caught a hint of fierceness!
Obviously, she wasn't telling the truth.

Zhang Yuan knew what was going on, and after comforting her a few more words, he said no more.

This lady is highly educated, with an undergraduate degree from Communication University of China and a master's degree from Fudan University.

She is not an uneducated rural woman!

Moreover, Fudan’s law department ranks fourth in the country, and many of Shanghai’s top lawyers graduated from Fudan.

Yang Lei has a close friend and old classmate from Fudan University who is a lawyer, and a famous divorce lawyer in Shanghai!

Divorce lawyers are one of the most profitable legal aid projects both at home and abroad.

The profits from this job are divided according to the target.

The little lotus showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies had long been standing on their heads.

Who would miss such a good opportunity to make money?

Zhang Yuan's purpose in talking to her about this matter was just to make sure that she would not give up.

Soon, he turned his attention to today's guest, Mr. Wang from Shanghai Film Studio.

"Mr. Wang is a senior in the industry. Let me toast you again." Zhang Yuan picked up the glass again.

He drank a lot today.

"You're welcome. You're young and promising."

The old man was also happy to chat with him.

After all, the reputation is there.

What is the biggest advantage of Shanghai Film Academy over Beijing Film Academy?
They can make money!
Shanghai Film Group is the most profitable film and television group in the country.

This is in line with the style of the Magic City.

Don't talk to me about this and that, just tell me whether it makes money or not.

Zhang Yuan is good at making money, which is in line with their interests.

“Any cooperation should start from small to large.”

"Shanghai Film Group is a big company, and I am a small company."

"Boss Wang, I understand that cooperation requires sincerity."

"So today, I will show my sincerity not only in my wine, words, and deeds."

Zhang Yuan pretended to be drunk, held the old man's hands, and acted like he was having a heart-to-heart talk with him.

"Oh, then what do you mean by sincerity?" the other party asked directly and efficiently.

"I heard that your son is also involved in the film and television industry."

"On my side, I am good at supporting and developing young directors and actors."

Assistant Zhao Xinxin at the side held up the bottle of wine and served silently as usual.

"Brother Zhang Yuan is at it again." He thought to himself at the same time.

Isn’t this the same tactic used against Han Sanpin last time?

To deal with the small ones is to deal with the old ones.

It’s really a one-trick pony that can make you successful everywhere.

Seize the weaknesses of these old leaders in every minute.

However, what happened this time is actually quite different from what Zhuli had imagined.

When Mr. Wang heard people talking about his son, although his eyes lit up, he was still very mature and didn't say much.

Instead, he asked softly.

"You mainly develop in the imperial capital, while my son lives in the magic city. Your circles are very different."

What I actually mean is, I have connections in Shanghai, so why do I need help from someone like you who mainly works in the imperial circle?
This sincerity, there is no sincerity at all?
Don't try to get close to me.

This person is different from Lao Han.

Han Sanpin used this trick based on their pre-existing friendship.

Of course it is useful if you know everything about someone.

But the people on the Shangying side were not very familiar with him and were still a little wary, so naturally they would not be so easy to talk to.

He wants to use my son to bait me... Mr. Wang muttered in his heart.

But like his assistant, he only guessed at the surface and didn't see the inside.

They can't see through it, can't guess it, and can't imagine it.

Because whether it is the film company or Mr. Wang, they are actually incidental.

Zhang Yuan’s real target was the person they used as “bait”, Mr. Wang’s biological son.

This "son" is named Wang Yuan.

He and director Wei Zheng later formed a partnership to create China's last nationally popular sitcom.

That is "Love Apartment"... (End of this chapter)
