Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 182 Wang Jinhua's Enlightenment
Just as Zheng Jingpo was pressing forward, at Fenglian Plaza Building in Chaoyang District, Yanjing City.

Huayi Brothers Company.

Wang Jinhua sat in the office, looking at the Yanjing Entertainment News in her hand.

"Hong Kong's most beautiful woman, Rosamund Kwan, signed with Huayi Entertainment, and Wang Jinhua has secured her place as the top agent."

"On May 5, at the Marriott Hotel, Hong Kong's most beautiful woman, the famous porcelain doll beauty Rosamund Kwan, held a signing ceremony with Huayi.

This is the third Hong Kong star signed by Wang Jinhua within half a month.

Prior to this, Wang Jinhua had already signed Liu Jialing and Liang Jiahui.

After signing Rosamund Kwan, Wang Jinhua now has many well-known artists under her command, covering mainland China and Hong Kong Island. It can be said that the team is star-studded and has a strong lineup.

Wang Jinhua is still the number one agent in the entertainment industry, and the incident between Fan Bingbing and Li Binbin has no impact on her.

She also said in an interview that the flow of artists in the entertainment industry is a very normal thing. She is still friends with Fan Bingbing and Li Binbin, and there is still a possibility of cooperation in the future.

This is the bearing and pattern of the No. 1 agent.

In addition, at the signing ceremony, Huayi's Wang Zhonglei also announced a piece of news.

Feng Xiaogang's new film "Funeral of a Big-Name Director" has been approved, and the leading actress is Rosamund Kwan.

This time it is still the Feng-style comedy that everyone loves, and Feng Xiaogang returns to the Lunar New Year box office.

It is said that the idea of this movie was from Cheng Kaige.

At a dinner party, Cheng Kaige told Feng Xiaogang about the funeral of the great Japanese director Akira Kurosawa..."

After reading this report, Wang Jinhua nodded and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Wang Jinhua felt very uncomfortable after Fan Bingbing's reputation reversed.

In public opinion, everyone is laughing at Wang Jinhua and Huayi.

Because they had previously issued a press release satirizing Fan Bingbing for only being able to play the role of a maid.

Now that Fan Bingbing has become a representative of inspiration, Wang Jinhua has suffered the backlash.

As this public opinion gradually spread, many people even began to question the abilities of Wang Jinhua and Huayi.

Neither Hua Yi nor Wang Jinghua could tolerate this.

So they acted decisively, and after licking the Hong Kong circle, they signed several out-of-date Hong Kong stars.

This trick is still very effective, after all, the mainland has a strong filter for the Hong Kong circle at this time.

Hong Kong stars are automatically ranked higher.

In addition, after the press release was issued, the public opinion situation improved slightly.

But soon, the smile on Wang Jinhua's face disappeared, because after turning to the second page of the newspaper, she saw Li Binbin.

"Has the role of Yu Ji been confirmed?! Li Binbin may play the female lead in Breaking the Cauldrons!"

"Wang Jinhua is the mother, Zheng Jing is the father, and Li Binbin still has his father to love him even though he has lost his mother."

"In the netizens' vote for their favorite Concubine Yu, Zhao Yanzi ranked first, Gao Yuanyuan ranked second, and Li Binbin ranked 13th."

"On June 6, Breaking the Cauldron will hold an audition at the Golden Eagle Racecourse. All actors are welcome to participate."

"Lee Jung-geon said he would attend the audition and would not ask for special treatment."

"Zhang Yimou: Zheng Jing is a natural born overlord. He is the best candidate for Xiang Yu."

"Cheng Xiaodong: Zheng Jing is invincible in actual combat, better than Cheng Long and Li Lianjie."

"Zhang Ziyi denies the affair with Jackie Chan and is sorry she can't star in Breaking the Cauldron."

The front page headlines of Entertainment News were about Wang Jinhua and Guan Zhilin, and she had paid for the space.

However, the following pages are almost all reports related to "burning the boats".

Obviously, Entertainment News knows what the audience likes to watch.

The biggest hot spot is the commercial blockbuster that Zheng Jing and Zhang Yi invested 3 million yuan (for external publicity) in.

Wang Jinhua rubbed her head and felt very stressed.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Hu Jun and You Yong walked in together.

"Sister Hua, I have something to tell you." You Yong said straight to the point: "I want to audition for Breaking the Cauldrons."

You Yong is an artist signed by Wang Jinhua last year.

This veteran actor is a professional tough guy and has representative works in both film and television. He is very popular at this moment and is a familiar face to everyone at first sight.

Seeing that You Yong had taken the lead, Hu Jun also said, "I want to audition too."

Wang Jinhua was unhappy, but she still smiled and said, “Such a good opportunity, of course I have to give it a try.

You guys should perform well and try to get the role you want."

Although she did not get along well with Western films, Wang Jinhua could not stop the artists from making progress.

At this time, the problems of Huayi Company were revealed.

The first is over-reliance on Feng Xiaogang.

Huayi relies on Feng Xiaogang's New Year films to spread its influence in the industry. Once Feng Xiaogang has a headache or fever, the company will be in trouble;

The second is the lack of big-budget movies, or the right to speak for big-budget movies.

In the early days, Huayi also participated in the investment of some big-budget movies, such as The Emperor and the Assassin, Heroes of Heaven and Earth, and Zhou Xingchi's movie "Kung Fu".

But without exception, no one has any say.

In other words, they are unable to promote their own artists.

Huayi is even the main investor of "Kung Fu", and the female lead must be Huang Shengyi, who is designated by Zhou Xingchi.

If Breaking the Cauldrons was produced by Huayi, then Li Binbin would definitely not be the leading actress.

The female lead will most likely be decided by Columbia Pictures or a Hong Kong entertainment company.

On this point, Zheng Jing and Western Film and Television are much stronger.

This is also why Wang Jinhua left Huayi later.

In addition to the dispute over share interests, it is also because Huayi did not provide particularly good resources to the artists under Wang Jinhua's name.

It is also because of this that Wang Jinhua was able to take away a large number of artists.

If Huayi is really able to promote people, then Wang Jinhua will not be able to take away many artists.

After all, so-called loyalty and affection all have a price. Seeing Wang Jinhua agree, You Yong and Hu Jun both breathed a sigh of relief. They chatted for a few more words and then got up and left.

After a while, Xia Yu called and said that at the suggestion of his girlfriend Yuan Quan, he wanted to audition for Last Stand.

Wang Jinhua "gladly agreed".

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jialing walked into the office and said with a smile: "Sister Hua, do you think I am suitable to play Empress Lü?"

Wang Jinhua: “…”

At this moment, an idea popped into Wang Jinhua's mind.

If she had not worked with Huayi last year and joined Western Film and Television instead, would she feel much more comfortable now?

Now at Huayi, I have to manage artists and also engage in intrigue with the Wang brothers. It’s really frustrating.

Wang Jinhua said, "As far as I know, the heroine of Breaking the Cauldrons is Yu Ji, and Empress Lü should have a relatively small role. Why did you have to play a supporting role to Li Binbin?"

Liu Jialing shook her head and said with a smile: "I am going to make a good relationship."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Jinhua understood.

Liu Jialing has already planned to return to the mainland to develop her career. She went to the audition to find Zheng Jingpan, at least to get to know him first.

Thinking of this, Wang Jinhua suddenly felt a little panicked.

All of our own artists have to participate in the desperate audition, so that they will not be poached by Zheng Jing like Li Binbin.

Carina Lau is quite independent, she just said hello to Wang Jinhua without asking for her opinion.

After saying that, he left.

After she left, Chen Daoming came in again.

Wang Jinhua subconsciously asked, "Are you also going to audition for Breaking the Cauldrons?"

Chen Daoming was stunned for a moment, then said directly, "Nonsense! Zheng Jing and I can't get along, so how can I audition for his movie?"

Hearing Chen Daoming's words, Wang Jinhua nodded and said, "Comrade Ge Ming is still reliable."

Chen Daoming is the first artist signed by Wang Jinhua.

Wang Jinhua works as a broker, and Chen Daoming gave her a lot of advice and help.

The two of them have supported each other and have a very good relationship. They jokingly describe their relationship as that of comrades in arms.

It was precisely because of this that when Chen Daoming met Zheng Jing on Mango TV before, he wanted to vent his anger on behalf of Wang Jinhua and had an argument with Zheng Jing.

Chen Daoming paused for a moment and asked, "I heard that there is a script for a costume drama and they found you?"

Wang Jinhua nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is a project invested by Baoshi Films, called The Emperor of Han Dynasty, and they want to invite you to play Dongfang Su.

I've read the script. Dongfang Su is a hermit with a very high standard, which is very suitable for you.

And the pay is also very high, about 200 million.”

Hearing this pay, Chen Daoming was completely moved. He said, "But I said before that I will no longer act in costume dramas."

"That's all hype, don't take it seriously, and no one will pay attention to it."

"Someone's watching me."

"Who?"

"Zheng Jing."

Wang Jinhua: “…”

Chen Daoming briefly recounted the last argument he had with Zheng Jing on Mango TV.

After hearing this, Wang Jinhua was silent for a long time, and finally figured it out.

She said, "Why don't you audition for Breaking the Cauldron, too."

Chen Daoming asked: "Why?"

Wang Jinhua explained: "It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. We don't have much hatred against Zheng Jing.

The previous friction was just normal competition in the entertainment industry.

When you go to the audition and take the initiative to show your submission, it can be considered as a way of showing support for Zheng Jing.

Given Zheng Jing's current status, he shouldn't let it go.

This matter will pass.”

Chen Daoming looked at Wang Jinhua and said, "Zheng Jing first snatched Fan Bingbing away, and then poached Li Binbin. Don't you care?"

Wang Jinhua sighed and said, "Liu Jialing's behavior just now reminded me.

As an agent, I should be versatile and make friends with everyone, instead of offending people everywhere.

Things have been going so smoothly in the past few years, and after joining Huayi, I became a little inflated.”

Chen Daoming looked at Wang Jinhua and didn't expect that such a strong-willed "Sister Hua" would also take the initiative to give in.

I have to admit that what Wang Jinhua said makes sense.

Chen Daoming lit a cigarette, took two puffs and said, "I'll think about it."

……

Early in the morning of June 6nd, Zheng Jing and Du Wei woke up in their room at the Golden Eagle Horse Farm.

Facing the rising sun, the two of them did a set of morning exercises to keep in shape.

After breakfast, Zheng Jing went horseback riding with Du Wei to digest the food, and they also walked the dog and released the falcon.

Dahuang and Dajin, one running on the ground and the other flying in the sky.

Holding Huang on his left, Qing Cang on his right, and with a beautiful bride in his arms, Zheng Jing became happier the busier he became.

Du Wei said: "The Huanjian Book Alliance essay collection activity has come to an end.

I really like "The Adventures of the Cute Baby Sword Girl" written by Leo Huanshi, and I have already arranged for it to be published.

A comic book adaptation has also begun.

This book is the first novel published in this million-dollar essay contest, and also the first physical book of Huanjian.

Would you like to help write a preface?"

Zheng Jing thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll write a preface and share it with the novel and comics."

Du Wei nodded and chatted with Zheng Jing about other things.

At 8:50 in the morning, the two of them walked into the audition room together.
