HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Wang Bingwen led Wang Peng out of the car.

Approaching them were the two kings, Ma Zhongjun, and others.

"Oh, Wang Tai, why didn't you tell us you were coming to Beijing? We could have extended our hospitality!"

The three of them gave Wang Bingwen a warm welcome.

Although Wang Bingwen, Wang Dawang, and Ma Zhongjun are all big bosses, Wang Bingwen, as the director of Hunan TV, is their upstream resource controller. Even if the three of them meet, they have to be careful.

"A friend invited me to some kind of celebration yesterday, so I rushed over."

With that, Wang Bingwen led Wang Peng toward the hotel lobby.

Upon seeing Wang Bingwen, Xu Lang dared not be presumptuous and quickly went to greet him.

"Wang Tai, you actually came in person? The gift was fine, but you went to all that trouble. I feel so bad!"

"You have such a big mouth!"

Wang Bingwen smiled and pointed at Xu Lang, knowing there was nothing he could do about it.

He was well-informed; although Xu Lang's financing was being suppressed as much as possible, powerful and influential people still knew about it.

Now, Wang Bingwen no longer dares to underestimate Xu Lang.

After all, in this society, wealth is the fundamental standard for measuring a person!

"Xu Lang, when does your TV series come out? You have to let me see it as soon as possible!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Bingwen didn't forget his business; he had high hopes for the TV series "Struggle."

That's a TV series that this unpredictable guy spent 3000 million to produce, so it must have something special!

"Wang Tai, don't worry. With our relationship, I'll definitely send it to you as soon as the film is finished in post-production."

The two kings behind him, as well as Ma Zhongjun, were all envious and jealous of the relationship between Xu Lang and Wang Bingwen.

Especially the two kings, who originally wanted to cause trouble for Xu Lang.

Now, even industry leaders have to think twice.

"When did Xu Lang acquire so many connections and resources?"

Even at the height of his power, Godfather was no better than this!

How many things is this kid hiding from me?

As everyone was chatting and laughing, a string of luxury cars pulled up in front of the hotel.

Before the car door even opened, a large group of reporters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quickly took over the positions originally occupied by the entertainment reporters.

The entertainment reporters who were still filming Wang Bingwen, the two Wangs, Ma Zhongjun, and others were stunned when they saw this scene.

"What's going on?"

"What are these reporters doing here?"

"Which department are these people from? They don't seem like entertainment reporters at all?"

Even Xu Lang was somewhat surprised, looking at Zeng Jia beside him. Zeng Jia shook his head, looking at the group of reporters and muttering:

"Judging from their work badges, these seem to be journalists from the finance and technology sectors."

"The finance sector, the technology sector?"

Xu Lang silently made a guess in his mind, and walked out of the crowd.

At that moment, a person got off the car in the middle.

Everyone was shocked when they saw that person.

"Holy crap, isn't that Tencent's Ma Huateng?"

"Why is he here?"

Everyone knows that in 2005, Tencent had just gone public in Hong Kong, its net worth skyrocketed, and it became a rising star in the finance, technology, and internet circles.

Even big shots like Da Wang, Xiao Wang, and Ma Zhongjun are no match for Ma Huateng.

Then, another group of people got off the car behind, namely:

Li Yanhong of Baidu, Wang Yadong of Sina, and Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu...

Xu Lang was astonished when he saw these people.

He counted them, and all the big names in the domestic internet industry had arrived.

"Holy crap, did I accidentally stumble upon this place while they were having a meeting?"

This was Xu Lang's true thought.

After all, even now, he couldn't believe that these people were coming for him.

Just as he was surprised, Zeng Jia suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear:

"Boss Xu, I just asked around, and there is indeed an Internet summit at the Beijing Hotel today. You were originally invited, but since we're having this celebration, we didn't go."

Seeing that you didn't go, all these people said they wanted to come over for a meal after the meeting, and so they all came.

Holy crap!

Xu Lang felt a moment of dizziness.

Just then, Ma Huateng, Li Yanhong, and a large group of people walked towards Xu Lang, chatting and laughing.

"Xu Lang, since you're skipping the summit, we've come to mooch a meal from you. You can't just refuse to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lang laughed and said to Zeng Jia:

"Quickly notify the hotel to add a few more tables. Our big bosses are here; they can't go hungry."

He quickly went up to greet them, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with Ma Huateng and the others one by one.

Throughout the entire process, Xu Lang was completely bewildered, repeatedly muttering the same sentence.

"Enjoy your meal and drinks later!"

The onlookers, including Wang Bingwen, Da Wang, Xiao Wang, Ma Zhongjun, and others, felt it was all so unreal as they watched Xu Lang chatting and laughing with these internet bigwigs they rarely saw.

As everyone walked into the hall, Ma Huateng pulled Xu Lang aside and asked in a low voice,

"Xu Lang, do you have a more detailed version of your previous product plan? Please bring it out and give me your feedback."

Hearing this, Xu Lang finally understood that Ma Huateng still remembered the time he threatened Tencent!

"A product proposal?"

After the initial surprise, Xu Lang finally came to his senses and thought to himself, "..."

"Do you think product planning is something you can get so easily?"

Thinking of this, he said:

"Oh dear, I've been so busy lately, I haven't had time for these things."

Upon hearing this, Ma Huateng immediately became anxious, glanced around, and said:

"What future do you have with all this busywork? You should focus your efforts on my product planning documents. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Okay, I know. Don't keep rushing me, I'll remember!"

Xu Lang gave perfunctory replies, but he wasn't in a hurry. He had a very clear understanding of the future product forms of the Internet.

"Let's slowly fish out these internet bigwigs!"

When all the bigwigs arrived, everyone, especially the beautiful female celebrities, was stunned. Even Fan Bingbing had never seen such a scene before.

Once they realized what was happening, they all started trying to get to know the big shots.

When Liu Yifei emerged from the luxurious cake tower and saw all the people celebrating her birthday, she felt it was an extraordinary dream.

She was in a daze throughout the entire coming-of-age ceremony.

After that, Xu Lang spent most of his time with these big shots.

You have to accompany them to meals and drinks, and apologize!

Definitely a escort/escort.

Fortunately, these public business engagements are also very simple in form.

However, at 2 PM, the bigwigs from all sides drove away.

Before leaving, Fan Bingbing grabbed Xu Lang's hand and wouldn't let go for a long time.

"Xu Lang, don't forget about taking my portrait photos."

"I can't forget it, I've been hoping for this since my past life."

Fan Bingbing thought he was joking again, but Xu Lang knew that his words were more real than pure gold!
