Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 204: The Controversy of Names

The accommodation is quite comfortable when filming in Wuxi.

The hotel where Zheng Jing stayed was Wuxi Binhu Hotel, which was relatively close to Three Kingdoms City and was one of the older five-star hotels in the area.

Although the guest room facilities are a bit old, the hotel has single-family villas that can accommodate multiple people and are equipped with a swimming pool and sauna.

Living here is very private and comfortable.

After returning to the hotel, Zheng Jing took off his clothes and took a bath in the sauna pool.

Li Binbin also changed his clothes and followed in.

While rubbing Zheng Jing's back, she asked, "Boss Zheng, have you decided on the leading actress for your new film project?"

Obviously, after hearing about the movie Underworld, Li Binbin was also attracted.

Li Binbin is indeed very suitable for action scenes.

But her figure is a little lacking and not as attractive as Li Xiaoran.

In the movie Underworld, the heroine is very important and must be cool and charming enough.

It can attract the audience's full attention as soon as it appears.

In this regard, Li Xiaoran has greater potential and a higher ceiling.

Of course, Li Xiaoran just has better innate conditions.

In terms of acting skills and fighting scenes, she is currently not as good as Li Binbin, and still needs some training from Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing didn't want to cause any trouble, so he said directly: "The female lead has already been decided, so don't even think about this project."

Seeing Zheng Jing so determined, Li Binbin didn't bother him anymore and focused on rubbing Zheng Jing's back.

Li Binbin is now in a very successful period.

"Love Across Time and Space" was broadcast in early July. The drama was bought by Shanghai Satellite TV at a high price.

The finale premiered two days ago and received an average viewership of 18.4%, which was a huge hit.

This time-travel drama was broadcast earlier than its predecessor, even earlier than A Step into the Past. It was the first to try out time-travel dramas, thus attracting a lot of attention and related topics were also hotly discussed.

Even the theme song, “Too Much,” was heard all over the streets.

In this drama, Fan Bingbing is charming and graceful, sometimes naive and sometimes seductive, playing the role of a clever and quirky heroine; Li Binbin is rational and calm, neat and valiant, with extremely high fighting power, showing the demeanor of the most beautiful female police officer.

The two women, one hot and one cold, complement each other and are very impressive.

Thanks to their "love that transcends time and space", Fan Bingbing and Li Binbin became truly famous.

Not only did he gain popularity among the audience, but he also accumulated a large number of fans.

Li Binbin has experienced the power of "effective drama broadcasting".

What's more, at this time, she was playing the female lead Yu Ji in commercial blockbusters such as Breaking the Cauldrons, and even Hong Kong star Liu Jialing played a supporting role for her.

Female celebrities in the circle are very envious of such resources.

Li Binbin was in high spirits and felt that his move to Western Film and Television was the right decision.

Zheng Jing could also feel Li Binbin's happiness, and he joked, "Don't be too proud, the second season of Young Justice Bao is about to be aired.

If the show doesn’t do well, you’ll have to be happy again.”

Li Binbin thought Zheng Jing was trying to persuade her to be down-to-earth, but she was fooled.

She became famous with the role of Young Justice Bao, but the female lead in the second part was replaced, which was also one of the reasons why Li Binbin left Huayi and Wang Jinhua.

If the package 2 fails, Li Binbin will have to open champagne to celebrate.

Li Binbin was amused by Zheng Jing and laughed, "Mr. Zheng, I have a surprise for you tonight."

Zheng Jingzheng was a little confused when he saw Li Xing walk into the sauna room.

Behind Li Xing, there was a beautiful woman with a plump figure and charming looks.

It was Fan Bingbing who had just finished filming the drama "What Can I Do to Save You?"

After Li Xing became Fan Bingbing's agent, she knew that this was a test from the company.

She treats Li Binbin and Fan Bingbing equally.

Sometimes, I even favor Fan Bingbing.

But Fan Bingbing and Li Binbin still don't get along.

Especially during the promotion of "Love Across Time and Space", Li Xing deliberately created news about the discord and quarrel between the two Bings in order to attract attention.

This kind of gossip news is indeed beneficial to the growth of Li Binbin and Fan Bingbing's popularity, but it is also easy for the fake to become real and get out of hand.

What's more, the two Icemen themselves dislike each other.

Li Xing felt that this contradiction was a hidden danger, so he encouraged Fan Bingbing to have a head-on duel with Li Binbin tonight.

In Li Xing's opinion, since she couldn't bring the two Bings together, the omnipotent boss would have to do it.

Regarding Li Xing's arrangement, Zheng Jing said she was overthinking it.

With two female ice skaters competing, Zheng Jing is the one who reaps the benefits. He can just enjoy himself and there is no need for him to act as a peacemaker.

Li Xing was very smart and quickly understood Zheng Jing's idea.

She thought about it and didn't care too much, so she chose to join Shuangbing's team.

After all, ice without snow is always incomplete.

The next morning, Zheng Jing went to filming in high spirits.

In Fenglian Plaza Building, in the general manager's office of Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were talking together.

Wang Zhongjun lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and asked, "When will the second season of Young Justice Bao be broadcast?" Wang Zhonglei replied, "It will premiere on Yanjing Satellite TV on August 8. We did not invest in this drama, but Heroes of Heaven and Earth has finally started filming."

What Wang Zhonglei meant was that since Huayi had not invested in Shao Bao 2, there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

A lot of money was invested in "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", and this is the key point to pay attention to.

But Wang Zhongjun shook his head and said, "Ren Quan and Miao Pu are both artists of the company, and we should still pay attention to the broadcast of their dramas.

The necessary publicity should be done properly.

Especially Miao Pu.

When she becomes famous, I will be useful to her."

The emergence of Zheng Jing has triggered many changes in the entertainment industry.

Fan Bingbing and Li Binbin are both in Zheng Jing Company, so Huayi is missing its leading female star.

The Wang brothers also had a plan. They spent some money and quickly signed several female artists.

They include Yu Na, who is tall and was a model, Miao Pu, a drama actor who looks a bit like Xu Qing, Ma Yili, who has just emerged, and Huang Yi, who became famous for "Marrying the Wrong Man".

It is worth mentioning that the Wang brothers did not sign these female artists under Wang Jinhua's name, but handed them over to another agent of the company - Fei Qi.

After Zheng Jing made a female artist famous, the money-making effect was extremely good.

Whether it is Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Xue, Fan Bingbing or Li Binbin, they are all cash cows of Western film and television.

Seeing this situation, Huayi also began to focus on training female artists.

They let Yu Na play the second female lead in Feng Xiaogang's movie "Big Shot", got Huang Yi the second female lead in the Hong Kong movie "The Lion Roars", let Ma Yili star in Guan Hu's movie "The Eyes of Xi Shi", and let Miao Pu play the female lead in the second part of Young Justice Bao.

It can be said that a lot of resources have been invested.

Seeing Wang Zhonglei nod, Wang Zhongjun continued, "I had a meal with the investors in the south yesterday. They were very dissatisfied with Zheng Jing's four leading ladies and the four leading ladies and two leading ladies.

Prepare to mobilize the media and organize a selection campaign.

Select the four young actresses and four young kings from the mainland. "

With the popularity of "Love Across Time and Space" and "This Is the Actor", the concept of the four major actresses and the four actresses and two ice-cold actors originally proposed by Zheng Jing has also been frequently mentioned.

Especially on the Internet, after Gu Genshuo's internet trolls took action, more and more netizens recognized the "Four Dan and Two Bing".

This touched the sore spot of Hong Kong Island and the Southern faction, and they were ready to make trouble.

Hearing what his second brother said, Wang Zhonglei said, "What's the point? The Four Little Flower Dans don't sound very impressive, and are weaker than the Four Big Flower Dans."

Wang Zhongjun smiled and said, "You don't understand this.

Whether they are the four little beauties or the four great beauties is not decided by Western film and television but by the major media.

You said that if the media selected Zhao Yanzi, Zhang Ziyi and others as the four young actresses, would anyone still recognize Zheng Jing's four major actresses? "

There is really no female star in China who is more popular than Zhao Yanzi;

Zhang Ziyi has also been doing very well in the film industry in the past two years. This year, she joined Jackie Chan and starred in the second part of Rush Hour.

If these two were the Four Little Flower Girls, then Zheng Jing's Four Great Flower Girls would indeed be ridiculed and not recognized.

Wang Zhongjun continued: "In addition to the Four Little Flower Dans, there are also the Four Little Heavenly Kings.

When Zheng Jingping is named one of the Four Heavenly Kings, what do you think he will think?
It will be interesting to meet the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong Island in the future."

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei also laughed and said, "We are still too kind, and the Hong Kong circle is still good at making trouble!"

In fact, the selection of celebrities in mainland China has always been led by southern media.

Behind these media are Hong Kong Island’s capital.

The names they give to mainland stars are four little beauties and four little fresh meat.

The first selection of the Four Little Freshmen was in 2000, and this year it was changed to the Four Little Heavenly Kings.

This is the natural short Hong Kong circle.

Even the concept of the Four Great Dan Actresses only started after the second batch of the Four Little Dan Actresses came out. The media gradually started referring to the earlier Little Dan Actresses as Big Dan Actresses and changed the term to the Four Great Dan Actresses.

This is obviously not a normal hype model.

If it's really for hype, a high-end version of Liu Yifei would be fine. Wouldn't it be better to give it a resounding name?

After all, the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings" were all hype and packaging.

Wang Zhongjun took two more puffs of his cigarette and said, “You should hype up the artist during this period to increase his popularity.

In the selection of the Four Heavenly Kings, Ren Quan should be selected.

The four young actresses should compete for the title, with Huang Yi being the most important. This is a great opportunity to improve their status.”

Although Huayi has switched to film and television production, its advertising business has continued to operate normally.

They have advertising resources and channels, and have good relations with the media.

The routine of hyping celebrities is still very familiar.

Soon, Huang Yi and Yi Yuan's relationship was in crisis, and news that she was suspected of cheating on Louis Koo during the filming of "The Lion Roars" appeared in the newspapers.

Miao Pu also accepted an interview and said that "Sister Bao 2" is more exciting than the first one. She was able to play the female lead with her outstanding acting skills and image. She is neither a little Xu Qing nor a little Li Binbin, because she will not recognize her father randomly.

For a period of time, several artists promoted by Huayi frequently appeared in newspapers.

On August 8, Southern Metropolis Daily published a news report, announcing that it would join forces with 22 authoritative media outlets across the country to select the mainland's "Four Little Flowers" and "Four Little Heavenly Kings."

As soon as this news came out, it quickly attracted widespread attention and discussion.
