Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 284: Industry Reshuffle, One Superpower and Many Strong Players

Li Binbin and her sister returned to her co-general manager's office.

"Now that Sister Hua is gone, this office will be yours from now on."

"Sister, Bingbing is not easy to deal with."

Li Xue didn't respond to her and sat on the sofa with a worried look on her face.

The enemy always knows the enemy best.

The reason why Li Xue was able to take over after Wang Jinhua left was that when Li Binbin was hesitant, she pulled him aside to express his position to the two Wangs and transferred the agency contract to herself.

But what she didn't expect was that before her, there was actually a female artist who had taken the lead and raised the banner of surrender first.

Is this still the same Bingbing who was never very successful?
Li Binbin smiled bitterly and said, "I know. You saw it just now."

"I don't know what medicine she took these past two years, it's like she suddenly got enlightened. She's completely different now."

“Could it be related to the width of the road?”

"What do you mean?"

Li Xue analyzed: "Lu Kuan found her for his second film, Shoplifters."

"Feng Yuanzheng is an old partner, Zhou Xun is an old acquaintance, but where's Fan Bingbing? She has no acting skills and no celebrity status, so why would he look for Fan Bingbing?"

"Also, the washing machine story that Zhuo Wei is famous for alludes to the ambiguous relationship between him and Fan Bingbing."

Li Binbin hissed and couldn't help but trace back to the source of the development trajectory of Fan Bingbing since Boss Lu came out of nowhere. There were indeed some suspicious aspects.

But it's just suspicious.

Given the life-and-death battle between Zhou Jun, the two kings, and Lu Kuan, if Bing Bing showed any obvious abnormality, he should have been warned and dealt with long ago, right?
"Sister, to be frank, you have no chance of winning against Fan Bingbing right now, not to mention Zhou Xun is coming."

"But with me here, many things can be turned around."

"Our goals are, first, to grab more internal resources, and second, to get more internal subscription shares."

Li Binbin was a man of few ideas and always obeyed his sister's orders: "Xiu Xiu, what do you say?"

This is Li Xue's nickname.

"Don't worry about it. I'll find someone to find out her background first."

"Let's go sit in Mr. Wang's office for a while."

"I heard that before the IPO, the company will first subscribe to the shares of its core artists internally."

Li Xue's information was correct. Before Huayi made large-scale subscriptions, in order to stabilize the situation after Wang Jinhua left, it first extended an olive branch to Li Binbin, Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming.

But Zhou Xun declined.

She pulled her sister up and walked to Wang Dajun's office, where they heard a burst of laughter coming from inside.

"So, you didn't succeed either?"

"Oh no! My own girlfriend was kidnapped by that Lu Kuan. What's the point of success or failure?"

"Okay, let's go and do the handover first. We'll be working together from now on. We'll communicate if there's anything we need."

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll go first."

Chen Sicheng pushed the door open and came out, meeting the Li Xue sisters. He nodded and smiled and left.

Wang Dajun glanced at the two people in front of the door and said, "Come in and sit down. Why are you standing there?"

"Who is this, Mr. Wang?"

"Oh, the company's newly signed actor. Have you seen 'Soldier Assault'? He plays an important supporting role in it."

Perhaps recalling something, Wang Dajun sneered, "He's quite intelligent, quite clever."

The office door was closed, and Chen Sicheng, who had walked away, looked back for two seconds and smiled.

It's done.

This was the right move. Even though I might have to take some risks, what I got in return was the opportunity to join Huayi!

The only condition is that he speaks out at the right time, and tearfully accuses his girlfriend of being subjected to the unspoken rules of the dark forces in the entertainment industry in front of the media and cameras!
A famous director with a beastly heart!
-
At the Huabin Golf Club, Boss Lu was feasting on a table full of seafood.

"Is it tasty?"

"Yeah! Very good!"

Boss Lu ate in a rather elegant manner, but he glanced at the two dozen oysters with dissatisfaction on his face: "Why so many oysters? What a waste!"

Bingbing propped her chin on her hand and looked at him in fascination: "If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. This stuff won't keep for long, so just cook it all."

"Is that so? Never mind, I can't waste it. I'll eat a few."

The actress only took a few bites of the steamed turbot with garlic cloves, while the man opposite her had already pried open a dozen oysters.

"Haha, not bad, not bad."

Bingbing chuckled: "Greedy."

"By the way, as you expected, everything is proceeding as planned. They should be talking to me soon. There will be a private round of initial share subscription."

The actress picked up the Qingdao prawns on the plate and patiently peeled and deveined them. "But Li Binbin actually stayed too. Maybe it has something to do with her sister."

"Oh, it's okay. Just defeat them. It's easy."

Boss Lu didn't take it seriously. With his own bug-level foreign aid around, it was easy for him to bully Shou Bing.

However, Bingbing in later generations really suffered a lot at the hands of this pair of sisters.

After the film and television industry was divided into classes and status such as the Four Great Actresses and the Two Ice Princesses, the artificial siege effect became more prominent.

The big stars are doing their best to value and protect their status in the industry.

Under such circumstances, the artists under Wang Jinhua gradually split into two factions.

One group is those artists who have no ambition and are only focused on developing themselves as artists or who are not good at or do not like socializing.

But the other group of ambitious and resourceful "female beauties" who have begun exposing each other's shortcomings, hyping up each other, and fighting each other in order to get to the top have gradually become dissatisfied with her nanny-like agent model.

Later, Wang Jinhua left and Huayi allocated shares to Li Binbin and Huang Xiaoming, which caused Bingbing's dissatisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, Bingbing was not willing to be outdone and did two things.

First, he exposed Shi Tao, the financial sponsor of Shou Bing, and revealed her secret of hanging out with a big boss.

The latter's public relations method is to find his best friend Ren Quan to hype up the CP, and to be ambiguous whenever he has nothing to do to silence the public's gossip.

Secondly, just like Boss Lu last year, her intimacy with Zhu Xiaotian under the camera was exposed to everyone, completely destroying her image of a pure and innocent girl.

The two of them exchanged moves, and with the help of his sister, Shou Bing also frequently attacked his opponent with powerful attacks.

Plastic surgery, pornography, kicking a reporter...

Just like Li Xue's analysis of her sister after today's meeting, this shrewd and capable Huayi co-general manager and future Huayi vice president is already ready to take action.

This kind of internal strife is no different from the fights between Lu Kuan and Zhou Jun in the past two years, and it is commonplace within the entertainment industry.

The cake is so small, you have to kick others away to get to the top. If you don’t fight for it, you will lose your status.

The two were chatting, and Bingbing was enjoying this unique warmth very much, when suddenly he heard Ah Fei's scolding from outside the house.

"Stop! I'm going to attack!"

"No, no! I'm not a bad person."

Then the little boy burst into tears.

Boss Lu ate Xiao Qinglong without moving, and had no desire to go out to watch the show.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

If Ah Fei can't handle it, he will come in to ask for instructions and report. There is no need for me to go out and cause trouble.

"what happened?"

Lu Kuan looked at Bingbing opposite him and felt that something was wrong with his expression.

The pretty face of the famous actress turned pale with confusion. She felt a little uneasy when she saw the two casual, inquiring glances from the man opposite her.

"It seems... it's my mother and brother..."

Lu Kuan frowned: "Huh?"

Bingbing stood up hurriedly, as if he didn't want to cause him any trouble: "Sorry, I'll let them leave right away."

Lu Kuan habitually felt a little suspicious. He was still peeling shrimp shells in his hands. He looked up at the actress with a smile and observed her micro-expressions calmly.

Until Bingbing looked anxious as if he was about to cry, he wiped his hands, rushed to the door, opened it suddenly and was about to go out.

"Wait, I'll go with you to take a look."

The young director didn't seem to notice anything was wrong and followed her leisurely with his hands behind his back.

"Man'er! It's me!"

A Fei blocked Zhang Chuanmei and her 5-year-old son at the gate of the villa and looked around.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Bingbing almost rushed forward, then looked back at Lu Kuan with an embarrassed expression, afraid of angering him.

She was very aware that she seemed to have not yet received permission to introduce him to her family.

Besides, how should I introduce it?

Such an unexpected meeting would undoubtedly increase the risk of exposure and affect his plans for Huayi.

It was pitch dark, and even with the help of the street lights near the villa, Zhang Chuanmei could hardly see the man's appearance not far away. She just stretched her head out of curiosity.

"No, I came to check out your villa. I couldn't find the place and saw your car parked here, so..."

Bingbing also bought a house in Huabin Golf. He and Boss Lu usually get along very well, so A Fei would go there to eat and sleep.

I didn't expect such a misunderstanding to happen today.

Lu Kuan stood on the steps and observed for a few minutes. Bingbing, with his back to him, clenched his fists anxiously, and then gently pushed Zhang Chuanmei out.

It didn't look like he did it on purpose, so he walked over calmly and said, "Hello, Auntie. Bingbing and I are colleagues."

"It's too late. Why don't you take your family home? On the way..."

A barely audible crackling sound was heard, and Ah Fei suddenly turned his head and rushed out like a cheetah, heading straight for the man taking pictures outside the fence!

Bingbing turned his back to the man and almost closed his eyes in despair, his legs weak and about to collapse to the ground...

"Man'er! Man'er!"

"Mom, I'm fine. There's a stone in my slippers..."

Bingbing was almost in despair. He didn't expect the assistant he ordered to escape A Fei's pursuit.

At this moment, he could only explain to his mother in a panic, and even more so to Boss Lu behind him.

To be honest, Lu Kuan had already become suspicious.

He could understand why Fan Bingbing was panicking in the room and pushed his mother out after coming out. He didn't want to expose himself, as he was afraid of angering him.

But the appearance of the voyeur who had been pinned down by Ah Fei provided an explanation for this tension.

Was the voyeur arranged by her?

She wanted someone to take a photo of herself, Zhang Chuanmei, and Fan Chengcheng together?

why?
What is the use?

Boss Lu walked down the stairs with his eyes narrowed, trying to turn to the front to observe the expression of the famous actress. No matter how good the actress was at acting, she could not escape the eyes of a legendary director.

Bingbing's hands were tightly held by his mother Zhang Chuanmei. They were sweating profusely, his throat was rolling, and he swallowed unconsciously.

The man behind him raised his foot and walked towards him, and was about to come around so that he could see his expression clearly!

"Wow!"

Fan Chengcheng didn't know what had happened to her and she burst into tears!
Facing the young director, Zhang Chuanmei clearly saw the pain and struggle on her daughter's face right next to her.

"Boss, the person has been brought back."

Bingbing knew that if he didn't admit his mistake, he would never have to admit it again. He turned around and looked at Lu Kuan, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the sneak photographer with shifty eyes...

"Xiao Yu?"

"Xiao Yu! What do you want to do!"

The word "Xiao Yu" was a sign of surprise that he was actually Xiao Yu?
Another call of "Xiao Yu" was full of ecstasy. He turned out to be Xiao Yu!
He is Li Binbin’s previous driver!
The famous actress seemed to have been injected with 10mg of adrenaline in an instant, and the veins on her smooth and white forehead suddenly appeared.

"Was it Li Binbin or Li Xue who asked you to come?"

Then he turned around and pushed Lu Kuan: "You go back first, I will handle it and won't cause any trouble for you."

Then he whispered, "He is Li Binbin's driver."

How could Boss Lu miss these clues? He scanned the people present with his hawk-like eyes.

Zhang Chuanmei was shocked and Fan Chengcheng was crying.

There is also the extremely suspicious Fan Bingbing.

But with Xiaoyu's arrest and the exposure of his identity, it seems that the previous suspicions can be temporarily put aside and reservations can be made.

No matter how she planned, she couldn't control Li Binbin's driver, right?

The next step is to let Ah Fei verify his camera and identity.

"A Fei, I'll wait for you in the car."

Boss Lu didn't even want to go back into the villa, and walked directly outside the guardrail to get in the car.

Behind me, the steaming hot food and the delicious dishes on the dining table inside the house seemed to become a cold background.

Fan Bingbing no longer had the mood to care about Xiao Yu. With a pair of charming eyes, he stared at the direction he left, and the panic that had just been suppressed in his heart began to rise again.

He didn't talk to himself.

Ah Fei acted quickly, deleted the photos, returned the camera, took a close-up photo of the man's face, and then let the man go.

Soon, the sound of a car engine was heard from outside the fence, gradually fading away as Ah Fei drove away.

Bingbing couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

When Zhang Chuanmei went to help her daughter up again, she saw that her back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The famous actress suddenly shook off her mother's hand like crazy, rushed into the house, took out her cell phone, and dialed the number with trembling hands.

Beep, beep, beep…

What a cruel and long three seconds.

"Hello? Where are you?"

"I... I'm in the bushes next to Building 13. Can I come out now?"

Bingbing nervously ran to the second-floor terrace again to confirm that everything was safe: "Come here quickly, now!"

She asked her mother and brother to stay in the inner room quietly and nervously hand over the work to Zhang Siman, the assistant in the baseball cap who took the photo.

Zhang Siman has followed Bingbing since her debut, and of course she has no intention of betraying her employer. It’s just that the cheetah-like bodyguard just now scared her to death.

Bingbing was also very scared.

If Li Guiyu had not accidentally taken the place of someone else, her credibility in Lu Kuan's heart would almost be declared dead today.

The infiltration of Huayi was a term of the deal agreed upon by the two during their first peace talks.

To put it bluntly, this is my greatest value and meaning of existence to him.

If this wasn't even of any use, there was no need for her to explain why she had arranged this farce.

Apart from the fact that his body had been dedicated from the inside out, which might still make him linger, it had no other special value.

Zhang Chuanmei was still in the house coaxing her angry son. Bingbing poured himself a glass of boiled water and gulped it down, trying to quench the fear that had rekindled in his heart.

Indeed, everything tonight was carefully planned by her.

Concubine Liu Yi is going to get personally involved. Given her attitude of preferring death to disgrace, Fan Bingbing cannot predict or guarantee how Lu Kuan will react.

But one thing is that if the two of them succeed, it will be the most disadvantageous situation for him.

She will lose the chance to get promoted forever.

The famous actress knew better than anyone that the man had a slight preference for Concubine Liu Yi.

It was her arrangement to place the male products in the wardrobe in the courtyard. Based on her understanding of Zhang Chuanmei, the latter's curiosity must be uncontrollable.

A phone call about arranging food, through Aunt Li's mouth, gave her mother clues to inquire about and clarify her daughter's affairs.

As for Fan Chengcheng, given Zhang Chuanmei's habit of taking him out for a walk every day these days, she will most likely take him with her. Even if she doesn't, it won't have any impact.

In other words, even if nothing is taken today, it won’t have any impact!
The worst that could happen is I'll just give up this opportunity.

When it comes to Lu Kuan, she always treats it with the utmost caution and care, preferring to miss it rather than make a mistake.

Bingbing couldn't describe her feelings at the moment. She simply felt that fate was blessing her. As luck would have it, the Li Binbin sisters, who had clashed with her today, tried to find evidence against her and sent her former driver, Xiaoyu, to spy on her.

The famous actress looked at the tricky-angled photo in the camera with delight:

His mother Zhang Chuanmei was holding his hand, and four-year-old Fan Chengcheng was crying beside him. Lu Kuan, who had just approached and had no time to observe his expression, bent over slightly.

With a little polish and direction, this is a family portrait!

Fan Bingbing did not have much contact with Concubine Liu Yi, but from their interactions on the set of "Zhu Xian", he deliberately observed them and heard the rumors about them in front of and behind people.

She knew that this was a girl who seemed cheerful and optimistic, but once she made up her mind, she would not look back.

Since Concubine Liu Yi is ready to use such means to urge and promote a relationship that seems incompatible now to finally come to fruition;
So how would she react if she saw a photo that was so heartbreaking and misleading?

For Bingbing, the best outcome would be to give up this relationship with a dead heart because of Liu Yifei's inherent pride and independence.

The worst outcome would at least allow this "risky" plot, which could be considered as a risk for both Concubine Liu Yi and Bingbing himself, to be put to rest, right?

As long as she didn't confess her feelings on the spot, at least the young director didn't have the awareness or motivation to sever ties with her immediately.

Just thinking about it made Bingbing tremble with nervousness. He stood up by holding the chair handle and walked around.

Xiaoyu's innocent confession just now provided her with a perfect "alibi".

Another thing that made her feel fortunate was the information gap between herself and Lu Kuan:
Lu Kuan certainly had no idea that Concubine Liu Yi was going to stab him in the face at his eighteenth birthday party.

Even if this photo caused an impact, the heartbroken Liu Yifei would not bring up the past again and open her scars again.

At that time, will the two people who are drifting further and further apart still sit facing each other leisurely, review all the accidents and emotions on the field one by one, and then find their own flaws?
The probability of this happening is too small.

Even if I could, that would be in the future. Right now, I had to get through this first!

The situation facing Bingbing now seems optimistic.

From the beginning to the end, Zhang Chuanmei came here on his own initiative. He would not know that Zhang Siman was taking the photo, and Xiao Yu's photo had also been deleted by A Fei.

If it is leaked again, the only possible explanation is that Huayi sent more than one person to spy on their relationship.

She had already reminded Zhou Jun of this in person after the Lukuan car accident: she had been suspected by him.

The entire logical chain is seamless, and Bingbing doesn't think there will be much risk of exposure.

Besides, for that man now, the most important thing is to make her explain to Huayi what happened tonight to clear her suspicion, right?
Because the allocation of shares to the core actors is about to begin, this is his top priority.

Bingbing had no doubt that the Li Binbin sisters, who were not photographed, would gossip and stir up trouble in front of Wang Daxiao and Wang Xiao and Zhou Jun.

But. . .

Faced with his usual meticulous planning, even if he had cleared himself of suspicion on the surface, would he really dare to use this photo?

The famous actress was in an endless struggle.

"Bingbing?"

Zhang Chuanmei tiptoed out and closed the door so as not to wake up Fan Chengcheng who had just fallen asleep.

"tonight..."

"Mom, I'll explain it to you later."

Bingbing stepped forward and held his mother's hand: "Just remember what I said."

"You saw nothing and knew nothing tonight. Just pretend nothing happened, okay?"

Zhang Chuanmei hopes that her daughter will become famous and help support the family and her young son.

But just now outside the villa, seeing her pitiful appearance of being so nervous that she almost collapsed to the ground, exhausted with sweat on her cheeks and back, which mother would not be moved?

"Man'er, don't make yourself suffer. Your brother doesn't need you to worry about him."

"Mom doesn't want you to be so tired."

Bingbing hugged Zhang Chuanmei with red eyes, feeling and absorbing the affection with his whole body and soul. His throat rolled and he could only murmur.

"It's okay... I will succeed... It's okay..."

I don't know if she was trying to persuade her mother or to convince herself.

The famous actress had a sleepless night.

In the following days, Lu Kuan did not contact her on his own initiative.

She wanted to call Lu Kuan, but she was afraid that if she did too much, she would make too many mistakes and appear guilty, so she gave up.

A small episode, seemingly ordinary, is constantly expanding and fissioning under the pull of various parties, and is about to transform into a thunder.

On the other side of the wrestling match, Hua Yi's two brothers and Zhou Jun had a slight dispute.

The cause was naturally the accusation by Li Binbin and Li Xue. Even if there were no photos, the former driver Xiao Yu’s personal testimony would still be considered a witness, right?
Zhou Jun used this to support his previous guess, but Wang Dajun and Wang Xiaolei did not think so.

Do you want to repeat Jang Nara's mistakes?

In their eyes, Zhou Jun's behavior has deviated from basic corporate competition and is completely in line with Lu Kuan's personal wishes, which is inconsistent with the two brothers' positions.

Just like before going to Cannes, Teng Huatao pretended to be drunk to help the two brothers change roles, cracks have already appeared within Huayi.

"Brother Jun, I don't think you can trust this stuff completely."

Wang Xiaolei vowed: "In our line of work, these things are commonplace."

"Li Binbin and she are competitors. Although we do not support or encourage such things as mutual criticism within our company, it has happened repeatedly in the past."

"Just based on the empty words of a former driver like her, you're reducing Bingbing's resources and stock allocation. Isn't that... unreasonable?"

Fan Bingbing is currently the female star who generates the most revenue for Huayi Company. She was also the first to express her stance after Wang Jinhua left, playing a major role in maintaining stability in the situation.

In particular, the resources she has built up in the fashion circle will not be lost due to Wang Jinhua's departure. This is good for other artists in the company!
Zhou Jun recently wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses to hide his increasingly unconcealable hostility.

"I have no objection to the artistes and core directors allocating shares."

"But with the recent lesson of Xinlang's change of ownership before us, I think we should still be cautious. At the very least, we need to put more effort into considering the loyalty of the actors."

Seeing that his brother couldn't convince him, Wang Dajun shook the company's internal semi-annual report in his hand to support him.

"Mr. Zhou, in the first half of this year, among our four main sectors of advertising, film, TV series, and artist management, the artist management revenue was around 4200 million."

"Among these, Bingbing's advertising endorsements, commercial performances and film remuneration accounted for nearly one-sixth."

"Wang Jinhua officially signed with Chengtian yesterday, and a press conference will be held tomorrow. At this time..."

"Should we just hold on tight?"

Zhou Jun looked between the two brothers with a serious look. They would never speak to him like this in the past.

The Jang Nara incident dealt a heavy blow to his voice and credibility within Huayi.

If you find financing and internet capital for Huayi and lead us to grow bigger, stronger and go public, we will respect you and are willing to give you shares.

But because of personal grudges, you want to drag Huayi, a shabby donkey cart still in its development stage, to go head-to-head with the Mercedes-Benz with a wide road, even if it means both of you will perish...

Then no matter how strong your background is or how loud your voice is, it doesn't make sense no matter how much you explain it, right?
You have people, and Huayi also has people behind it.

Wang Xiaolei laughed out loud: "Oh! Brother Jun, you don't understand Bingbing."

"Let's not talk about whether what Li Binbin's driver said is true or not, even if it is true!"

"That's also Bingbing's personal networking and resource development."

"Two years ago, she took a trip to Hong Kong, and in the past two years, she's been looking for fashion resources on her own, forging this path. If it weren't for her reckless drive, she wouldn't have been able to stand out."

Wang Dajun also laughed and said, "Bingbing is the most daring and hardworking female star. I think the most she and Lu Kuan can do is just exchange resources and their bodies for opportunities."

"Actually, if you have doubts, isn't Zhou Xun more worthy of scrutiny than Bingbing? He and Lu Kuan have been friends since their debut."

The reason why the Wang brothers were indifferent to Zhou Jun’s suspicion was because of the huge information gap.

Even if Huayi goes public in the future, the total amount of shares allocated to all artists will not exceed 15%. If Lu Kuan had not secretly invested in Xinlang, the shares held by the artists alone would not have been able to harm their business.

Even though I have already invested in Xinlang, I still need to do more planning.

The two brothers talked back and forth, almost leaving Zhou Jun speechless.

But he really couldn't provide any real evidence to support his judgment.

Apart from the witness testimony of competitor Li Binbin's former driver, this isolated evidence is obviously insufficient to prove the truth.

Not to mention the company's internal governance, even if it were brought to court, it would not even meet the standard of high probability, let alone the level of excluding reasonable doubt.

"Mr. Zhou, this is what I think."

Seeing that he looked depressed, Wang Dajun made up his mind and decided to speak frankly today.

"In fact, we used to have a competitive and cooperative relationship with Wenjie."

"In A World Without Thieves, Xiaogang used Wang Baoqiang, and in Shoplifters, Lu Kuan used Bingbing. Even if there were some conflicts on the surface, they were still suppressed within a reasonable range."

"But using Jang Nara to attack Consort Liu Yi... definitely pissed everyone off."

Wang Xiaolei looked up and thought that his brother's words were about to make Zhou Jun angry.

Isn't the subtext of this statement that Zhou Jun turned normal business competition into a never-ending political struggle?

With Zhou Jun's family background and knowledge, how could he not hear the hint here?

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this time he was really stuck in the quagmire and couldn't extricate himself.

Initially, he just wanted to use Dong Shuangqiang's help to plan a way to acquire shares in Wenjie, go public, and cash out.

As a result, he became angry and embarrassed because of Boss Lu's refusal, and turned to Huayi to support them in competing with Wenjie.

In addition to conventional business competition, they also asked Jang Nara to copy Liu Yifei's path to fame, attempting to replace it with some unconventional tactics to create a traffic-making tool for Huayi.

It's just that the two sides fought back and forth, and Huayi was defeated every time.

To this day, even though the brothers Wang Dajun and Xiaolei no longer want to get involved in this personal feud, Zhou Jun is determined to get back his ground and face.

Otherwise, you will become a laughing stock in the circle behind you.

Accelerating the hunt for Zhuang Xu and severing Lu Kuan's connection with the Olympics are goals that need to be achieved urgently.

"Okay, as you wish. Our goal is always the same, which is to list Huayi as soon as possible."

Zhou Jun raised his glasses and stood up leisurely. "Let's divide the work properly from now on. You don't have to worry about the road widening, and I won't interfere with the management of the company."

"But I hope you can make good use of all the resources I've brought."

Da Jun and Xiao Lei looked at each other. Although they could hear the dissatisfaction of the son of a powerful family, they always had to insist on what they had to insist on.

They are businessmen, not regular customers.

As time entered the end of July, the domestic entertainment industry was in turmoil, with shocking news spreading all over the place and entertainment reporters and paparazzi in a frenzy.

Yan Zi and Wang Gongzi broke up and started looking for their next target. Huang Yi, who was accused of meddling in the affair, was a guest on Xinlang Entertainment's live broadcast room and discussed the matter without commenting.
Queen Wang Fei and Ya Peng secretly obtained their marriage certificate at the Dihua Civil Affairs Bureau in Xinjiang Province and held a low-key wedding in a restaurant in Beijing with a small group of relatives and friends.
Taiwan's popular group SHE held their first concert in Beijing four years after their debut, with pre-sales of tickets exceeding one million.

Among all these, what drives Beijing’s entertainment newspapers crazy the most is the poaching and major personnel changes among several major domestic entertainment companies and brokerage companies!

First of all, Zhou Xun and Rong Xingda broke up.

Li Xiaowan spoke out through her blog, saying that she would not renew the contract as it had expired, and insisted that there was no conflict between the two parties. Rongxingda is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year and will continue to work hard.

The company's artist department currently has sixteen contracted actors, such as Chen Kun, Huang Jue, He Lin, Jia Ni, Zeng Li, Shen Chang and other artists who are on the front line of film and television drama shooting, and are developing towards a more mature, standardized and large-scale stage.

Next, when Huang Shengyi was promoting his new film "Tears of Heaven" in Guangzhou, he lost control of his emotions when faced with a reporter's question about whether he had been blacklisted by his agency.

She cried to the media, saying that she had been intimidated and threatened by Star Shine and claimed that she wanted to terminate her contract with it.

The incident caused a huge uproar, and the bigwigs in Hong Kong who were at odds with Stephen Chow were furious, accusing Stephen of being greedy and forgetting his principles, and being a disgrace to Hong Kong.

Zhou Xingchi did not respond, but Chengtian, who was behind the plan and had Hong Kong and Japanese capital, was not going to let him go and was pressing forward step by step.

In the end, the two parties terminated the contract and Chengtian signed Huang Shengyi.

Baoding Yang Gongzi successfully saved Bai Yueguang, and Wu Kebo, who had been coveting the domestic entertainment industry for a long time, finally got the template of the popular flower he had been dreaming of.

Get ready immediately and start replicating Liu Yifei's path to fame.

Just as the spectators were feasting their eyes and talking about the show after dinner, the biggest bomb in the domestic entertainment industry this year was detonated.

Huayi, Wang Jinhua ran away!

The front pages of relevant newspapers such as "Peking Daily", "Peking Entertainment News", and "Bigstar" all published the two announcements from Wang Jinhua and Huayi.

The tone is different, but the general meaning is the same.

It's nothing more than thanking each other, blessing each other, and wishing everything goes well in the future.

Among them, Wang Jinhua also announced her next plan. She will not start a new business, but will take her artists to Chengtian Entertainment, which has the background of the Japanese company NEC.

Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Hu Jun, Zhou Yun, Guan Zhilin, Liu Jialing, Wu Junru, Yang Ziqiong...

One after another, astonishing celebrities left.

The onlookers were all worried about Huayi, wondering how Huayi, which had already suffered a heavy blow due to Jang Nara's retirement, would survive this disaster.

Obviously, there is still a huge information asymmetry between the people who come to watch the show and those inside the entertainment industry.

Huayi then held a press conference to thank Ms. Wang Jinhua for her efforts over the past five years, but Huayi will also move forward with ease.

Immediately afterwards, at the launch conference of Xiaogang’s “Night Banquet”, former Rongxingda artist Zhou Xun “attended the banquet” and officially announced that he had joined Huayi.

Huang Xiaoming was interviewed by reporters on the set of the unit drama "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and officially announced that he had negotiated to terminate his contract with Xiangjiang Century Elements and joined Huayi.

There was also a rising star from the new generation, Yang Mi, who appeared at the press conference. Since Ms. Jang Nara voluntarily withdrew from the filming of "The Immortal III", she will fill in the role of Xuejian.

Insiders know that this is another actress who is being cultivated by Huayi to be a young actress. Similar to Huang Shengyi of Chengtian and Tang Yan of Yinghuang, she is still aiming to be like Liu Yifei.

Chinese people have a strong ability to imitate. Even if they cannot get the first bang in this track, there will always be audiences who will buy into it if they follow the same pattern.

At this point, the domestic entertainment industry has undergone a major semi-annual reshuffle, and a pattern of one super and many strong companies has gradually taken shape.

Wenjie Holdings remains unshakable and is a super power.

How strong the origins are varies:
Chengtian poached Huang Shengyi to cultivate as a popular young actress, and also poached Wang Jinhua's team to enrich the artist team, and even relied on the abundant capital to start planning the film and television production business.

Huayi has joined forces with Internet Capital Tom, Xinlang, and Yahoo China, and has expanded its international horizons through China Heng Company.

Together with the already rising Bingbing, the newly joined Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming, and the remaining Shoubing, Ren Quan and others, their strength has not been diminished, but has instead improved.

Hunan TV's variety shows such as "National Ball Games Ceremony", "Super Girl", "Happy Camp", and "True Feelings" are still very popular this year. Recently, it has continued to increase the introduction of Korean dramas to compete with Travel Satellite TV's "Zhu Xian 2".

There's also Eagle King, which stands proudly in Hong Kong, Bernard, which focuses on the film industry, Fiber Optic, which is just about to enter the industry, the steadily developing Pony Ma, and the veteran powerhouse Rongxingda...

In general, it is like what Director Qi of the Cultural Industry Research Center of the National Development and Reform Commission said at the Forbes 2005 Entertainment Forum in March this year:
After the Pomegranate Industry boom, the domestic cultural industry is a blue ocean. The leading industries, including the film industry, have been loosened up, and the market threshold has been lowered from production, distribution, to screening.

We welcome private, foreign and former state-owned capital to establish themselves and deepen their roots in accordance with national laws and regulations, and inject more vitality into the domestic cultural industry!

On July 2005, 7, one week after the release of "Seven Swords", the premiere of "Bad Genius" jointly produced by Wenjie Holdings and China Film Group Corporation was held in Beijing.

Prepare to launch an attack on this blockbuster with a bad reputation.

Lu Kuan was reading the "Beijing Entertainment News" in his Bentley Elantra, looking through various major events in the domestic entertainment industry in recent times.

Because of the flapping of his butterfly wings, the plot has changed slightly, but major industries, major guidelines and major policies are still moving along the established route.

The curtain has just been raised on the domestic entertainment industry, and the "one superpower and many strong countries" jokingly referred to in the newspapers are still in the process of concentrating industrial capital.

Including its own Wenjie Holdings, as Wenjie Jiahe's heavy capital expansion progresses, the top priority in the second half of the year is to find venture capital for financing for Wenjie Mall.

But Boss Lu knew clearly that the three years from now until 2008 would be the time for domestic film companies and entertainment companies to lay the foundation and take root.

Three years from now, everyone will face the "big test" of hot money:
The coal bosses are about to enter the market.

When the financial crisis hit in 2008, the global economy declined and coal demand plummeted.

Coupled with overcapacity and frequent mining accidents, Shanxi Province took the lead in starting a major restructuring of coal companies.

During this process, many coal bosses sold their mines to state-owned enterprises and other large companies, becoming behind-the-scenes shareholders themselves or even simply withdrew.

Standing at this historical turning point, the coal bosses, holding huge transfer fees and compensation, don’t know where to go.

As a result, liquor, real estate, and automobiles all became targets of capital outpouring, and of course the film and television industry as well.

In 2009, Section Chief Jia's office in Beijing was often crowded with people. Coal bosses and fellow villagers shouted in their local accents: "Section Chief Jia, what are we going to do? We have too much money and can't spend it all. Do you have any movies to make?"

"What? The budget is only 5000 million? Let's spend million first!"

Boss Lu is well aware that today's "self-admiring" super-strong and small companies in the domestic entertainment industry will all face fierce competition when faced with the influx of huge amounts of funds.

This kind of competition is not only about the survival of the fittest, but also more like the bad money driving out the good money.

Because the funds brought in by coal bosses are irrational to a certain extent.

While meeting the industry's massive supply-side demand, it also brings about ecological imbalance.

Such as the inflated actors' salaries, the disruption of market order, the prevalence of creative following trends, and the increase in shoddy products.

Even the high-quality content of Wenjie Holdings may be affected.

Of course, for a prophet like Boss Lu, making good use of this hot money in the industry can allow Wenjie Holdings to reach a higher level.

For example, the construction of capital-intensive theme parks, the establishment of one's own film and television shooting bases, etc.

"Boss, we're here."

Ah Fei's words interrupted the young president who was in deep thought. He pushed open the car door and walked into the giant screen cinema of Wenjie Jiahe in the Guomao business district.
