Actor: Thank you.

Before the Lunar New Year, in order to showcase its popularity and strength, Huayi booked an entire grand auditorium at the Hilton Beijing Hotel to hold a grand annual meeting for the company.

Hundreds of employees and artists were present.

The scene was huge.

The event was organized by Zong Shuai, the current manager of Huayi Performing Arts Agency, and was carried out entirely according to the requirements of the Wang brothers.

That means more, bigger, and stronger.

With a large number of artists and a powerful presence, it surpasses any other company in the same category on the market!

Leaving aside the original artists from Huayi, they all have to be there today no matter how busy they are!

Because a large number of reporters were also invited.

We need to film this grand event and publish it in newspapers, magazines, and on websites.

Even Huang Xiaoming, who had a cold and was on an IV drip, came.

Anyone who can move must come; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Wang brothers.

The purpose of today's publicity campaign is to showcase Huayi's strength, boost market confidence, and make a final push for the listing plan a few months from now.

Huayi's main sources of revenue are film and television productions, talent agency services, and music.

Film and television accounted for half of the revenue, while talent agency business became the second largest revenue item after film and television works.

And this brokerage business relies on people.

The addition of a top actor or director can significantly boost a company's market prospects.

This is the power of human harmony.

That's why Huayi spent a lot of money to hold its annual meeting, to prove that it has a wealth of talent.

Invest in our company with confidence, buy our stock, and you're guaranteed to make a profit!
When Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian arrived together, they immediately noticed this.

This is something he will need to do in the future.

To go public, you need to have heavyweight figures join you.

Xiao Ming has been getting more and more work lately, and he's even started learning to invest.

He starred in a TV series called "Dark Fragrance" and also invested a few million yuan.

This wasn't something he learned from Zhang Yuan, because he couldn't learn Zhang Yuan's methods.

My brother learned from Ren Quan, who was also in Huayi.

Zhang Yuan glanced around and first looked for someone he knew.

He squinted at the first glance.

Because in addition to the Huayi seniors like Luo Haiqiong, Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, and Zhang Hanyu, there were also quite a few newcomers.

Hu Ke was also there; she was introduced by Huang Xiaoming, and the two had a past relationship.

In this respect, Brother Xiaoming is quite decent; even though the relationship has come to an end, they can still be friends.

Before the company went public, Hu Ke was introduced to Huayi, which allowed him to reap considerable benefits.

This made Zhang Yuan feel a little guilty.

After all, Yang Tianbao had already taken his form...

Besides these people, there were also a few unfamiliar faces.

Actress Li Lin is a veteran actress who was introduced to the company by Luo Haiqiong.

Her boyfriend, who later became her husband, was named Li Dashuang.

Both she and her younger brother, Li Xiaoshuang, are world gymnastics champions.

This is what is meant by the inseparable connection between literature and art.

The arts and culture sector and the sports sector not only share similar social responsibilities and functions, but also frequently have personnel exchanges between them.

He Zhuoyan, the actress whom the bearded man has been promoting in recent years, is also there.

Chen Sicheng also brought his girlfriend Tong Liya to the event.

A while ago, Huayi increased its capital and expanded its shares, adding a second batch of celebrity shareholders.

All of these positions are listed.

Luo Haiqiong received the most shares, exceeding 50, after all, her husband is the vice president of Huayi.

Li Bingbing, Ren Quan, Zhang Hanyu, Hu Ke, and others each received more than 30 shares.

Li Lin, He Zhuoyan, and Chen Sicheng, who are currently less well-known, each received less than 20 shares.

It's worth noting that after Huayi went public, its stock price reached over 90 yuan in the first year!

Therefore, the shares held by these people are worth at least 20 million and as much as 50 to 60 million, making them potential millionaires.

Several of them later used this as the capital for their investments and businesses.

If you say Huayi is domineering, then she really is. She's done a lot of inhuman things.

But those who followed him in the early days basically made a fortune.

Hu Ke, introduced by Huang Xiaoming, managed to catch the last train and later cashed out tens of millions of yuan.

So Xiaoming has many girlfriends, but they all attack each other, and very few of them curse him after breaking up.

It turns out that Yang Tianbao, after her divorce, created a persona and attacked her ex-husband in order to generate publicity.

These positions are not unusual.

What surprised Zhang Yuan was that Hu Jun, Chen Daoming, Liu Jialing, You Yong, and others were also there.

These are all top generals under Sister Hua!

Zhang Yuan nodded, understanding the situation.

Last year, Sister Hua and Orange Sky had another falling out... Why did I say "again"?
Anyway, after she left Orange Sky, she and her old acquaintance Ren Quan jointly established an investment company.

Ren Quan later became a well-known figure in the film and television industry, while Sister Hua remained behind him.

Coincidentally, Hua Yi and Sister Hua had long intended to "break the ice," and then, due to the opportunity to start a company with Ren Quan, the two were secretly entangled together again.

But the Wang brothers and Sister Hua are all people who care a lot about their image. In the old capital, that's what matters most. (Sound of slapping faces)

So the two bosses never meet, but their subordinates can now freely cooperate and communicate.

Today, I'm here to support Huayi, further elevating her already glamorous star status.

Not seeing the Wang brothers, Zhang Yuan led Qianqian into the crowd.

Ren Quan was discussing investments and post-listing plans with artists such as Huang Xiaoming and Li Bingbing.

Everyone around him looked at him with the same kind of attention that sheep look at a sheepdog.

Following Ren Quan can indeed make money.

After all, this guy has basically never lost money, from opening a small "Sichuan Spicy Fish" restaurant to a chain store, and now venturing into film and television investment.

"Zhang Yuan is here!"

"Oh, oh, oh, what a rare guest!"

"Come, sit down and talk."

But as soon as Zhang Yuan arrived, all the gazes that had been directed at the sheepdogs shifted to him.

Ren Quan: ...

Today I finally understand what it means for a prostitute to be heartless and an actor to be ungrateful.

I'm still here!

You guys change your tune way too fast.

Ren Quan also greeted Zhang Yuan, thinking to herself that she had been living in his shadow all along...

There's nothing we can do; people are naturally drawn to those who are strong.

Especially since people in the entertainment industry generally don't have a high level of education, this instinct to admire the strong is even more obvious on their faces.

Zhang Yuan was more successful than Ren Quan, so naturally they had to flatter him.

Little Dragon Girl tried to suppress her laughter upon seeing this.

"He's more impressive; he attracts attention wherever he goes."

Zhang Yuan was not surprised by their reaction.

Leaving aside other industries, let's just talk about Huayi.

Zhang Yuan holds more shares than all the people in front of him combined! He truly embodies the spirit of "I'll take on ten of them."

If these people are reserve millionaires, then Zhang Yuan is a reserve billionaire.

And he may already be active in the military.

With the huge success of "Painted Skin," his popularity and fame surpassed those of the others.

So when Zhang Yuan arrived, the leader changed.

The adult world is just that realistic. Whoever has money or a high status in the industry will automatically lower their status.

Even though Zhang Yuan directly snatched the role from Huang Xiaoming in "The Message," he is still very polite and shows no intention of turning against him.

It's mainly because I'm used to being robbed...

"Speaking of which, I should thank you," Li Bingbing said, stepping forward and shaking his hand.

"What are you thanking me for?" Zhang Yuan asked, puzzled.

"That movie starring Brother Chenlong." Sister Li winked at him, "If you hadn't made that person withdraw, I wouldn't have had the chance to act in it."

"Oh..." Zhang Yuan understood.

She still managed to outdo Fan Bingbing, which pleased her older sister.

However… Zhang Yuan glanced at Yao Cheng, who was standing at the edge of the crowd with a rather embarrassed expression.

When he looked over, the woman first avoided his gaze, then awkwardly smiled and nodded in response.

I originally intended to frame a traitor, but I never expected to end up framing Li Bingbing.

Look, she even has to thank us.

As for Yao Cheng, I wish her good luck.

Zhang Yuan smacked his lips a few times.

This person was lucky; not only did they escape unscathed, but they also managed to snag shares in Huayi.

Life is sometimes so wondrous; a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Zhang Yuan deliberately shook hands with him and exchanged a few words, pretending to be forgiving and forgiving.

However, she and Huayi already had a rift, so it wasn't long before they parted ways.

There will be plenty of opportunities to play around with it later.

Soon after, Zhang Yuan saw Xiao Wang and went up to greet him with Qianqian.

"This is Zhang Yuan, a star artist from Huayi."

"Recently, it grossed over 3 million yuan at the box office with 'Painted Skin'."

"This is Liu Qianqian, a very promising new actress from Huayi."

"Both of them are currently the most popular artists, and it won't be long before they become the backbone of the Chinese entertainment industry."

Little Dragon Girl looked completely bewildered. When did I become Hua Yi's artist?

“Yes, under President Wang’s leadership, we will definitely grow together with Huayi.” Zhang Yuan replied, while gently nudging Qianqian beside him with his elbow.

She wasn't stupid, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Originally, Liu Xiaoli and Boss Chen planned to come together today.

But Sisi herself said no.

It's not like when I was 13 or 4 years old, when I had to follow along with everything.

It's fine to go on a trip to another city and have some fun, but there's no need for close protection while staying in the capital.

Aunt Liu was mainly worried that if she drank too much, she would be in trouble and wouldn't be able to handle the situation.

Little Dragon Girl said, "Zhang Yuan is here too, it's alright, he'll protect me."

Liu Xiaoli thought to herself, "Is it possible that what I'm worried about is that after you get drunk, he'll 'protect' you and escort you all the way to your bed?"

Regardless of what her mother thought, Zhang Yuan took care of her responsibly.

And he saw it too.

Xiao Wang's unusually high praise for him wasn't just a matter of mutual respect.

At this moment, Xiao Wang was chatting with a middle-aged man.

He guessed that the middle-aged man was probably an investor or someone like that.

Xiao Wang praised him, even specifically mentioning the box office success of "Painted Skin," which was actually just him trying to pat himself on the back.

As for the claim that Liu Qianqian is Huayi's person.

They may have always thought that they had secured Sissi's position after "The Forbidden Kingdom," and the management team had been negotiating with Mr. Chan.

"Hello."

"Hello, young man, you have a good spirit." The middle-aged man didn't introduce himself, just exchanged pleasantries.

Zhang Yuan noticed that Xiao Wang didn't seem inclined to introduce the other person to him.

Hey!
Cheapskate.

I don't want to share resources.

Xiao Wang was also afraid of nurturing Zhang Yuan, his competitor.

Zhang Yuan then "wisely" took Qianqian and left.

After exchanging greetings, and seeing that the annual meeting was about to begin, the two of them found seats and sat down.

They were seated at the table with the bearded man, since they were all watching "The Return of the Condor Heroes" together.

Deng Chao, who had just finished filming the TV series "Big Beard," was not at this table.

It is clear that the conflict between the two sides is significant.

When they arrived, the bearded man was chatting with several directors from Huayi Brothers Media Group, including Feng Xiaogang and Kang Honglei.

Upon seeing him arrive, the bearded man wore an expression that suggested he was swallowing shit.

Because he actually ate it back on Peach Blossom Island...

He's now afraid of this kid who carries a recording pen with him.

so bad!
They're trying to trick me, trying to ambush me, a 57-year-old old man!
Little did he know that something even worse was yet to come.

Zhang Yuan saw Feng Xiaogang cursing and swearing, complaining to Kang Honglei.

"What's so great about him!"

"So what if he has a good father!"

"What kind of garbage are those photos!"

"I can't even understand that lousy 'The Promise'!"

"An Olympic opening ceremony advisor? I'll take your damn advice!"

"Everyone knows that he recited a poem during the selection process, which stunned the judges."

"Who doesn't know that the opening ceremony was all thanks to Zhang Yimou? What does it have to do with him?"

"Damn it, he relied on his father's relationship with Mei Lanfang to get Mei Baojiu to authorize the film."

"Pooh!"

"These guys from the Beijing Film Studio only know how to protect people from the Beijing Film Studio. Only Lao Han flatters him."

“Exactly!” Kang Honglei hadn’t said anything before, but he got excited when he heard the other party cursing the Beijing Film Studio.

None of the three directors came from the Beijing Film Studio.

In the eyes of Chen, the poet, and his old circle of emperors, they were just peasants and mules.

However, as soon as he heard that he had insulted Lao Han, Kang Honglei quickly stopped him.

You, Feng Dapao, love to fire your guns recklessly!
With so many people there, if word gets back to Lao Han, we'll all be in trouble.

"Let's just talk about Kaige's matter," Director Kang reminded him.

Zhang Yuan, standing to the side, looked like he was about to break down.

He wanted to find a quiet place to laugh out loud.

He must have laughed as cheerfully as Cao Cao after his defeat at the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Seeing Director Feng's state, it became clear that after this "real wolf" stabbed himself, the two "commoners," as he had predicted, had begun pushing each other away... (End of Chapter)
