At the celebration banquet, cups were exchanged, glasses were exchanged, and under the cheers of the scene, Zeng Li and Qin Hailu both came on stage and performed a piece of "Mu Guiying Takes Command" together.
"Three cannon blasts outside the camp gate were like thunder,
I will protect the country's ministers when they come out of Tianbo Mansion..."
"Mr. Lu, the starring role has been decided, who is the director?"
Han Sanping asked questions while admiring it.
"The director is not here, but the producer specially invited them to the scene today." Lu Fei raised his hand and pointed at Chen Guofu and Chen Jia Shang in the crowd, and then said: "Yang Mi, go and invite those two over."
"Ah, me?"
She stared, frightened and frightened.
Lu Fei joked: "Why, don't you dare? I have the impression that there is no fear of heaven or earth. Beijing girls who dare to rush into the men's toilet. Are there times when you don't dare?"
This simple provocation made Yang Mi, who had always wanted to show off in front of him, feel worried and gritted her teeth and said, "I, I'll go."
"Remember you represent the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Lu Fei reminded him not to lower his profile just because of Director Xiangjiang. It was not his previous life, but now with his status and identity, being willing to meet him was a gift.
There's no way, it's not a circle.
Yang Mi drank a glass of wine to strengthen her courage and walked straight over. She heard Chen Guofu sighing:
"I didn't expect that I was right. "Stone" will bring trouble to Xu Ke. How about "Seven Swords"?"
"It's not ideal. In the first three days of its premiere, the box office was only 26 million. Including the Southeast Asian Waifu market, it was only 40 million. It may not be able to protect its capital."
Chen Jiashang's face was solemn and his tone was serious.
"Sure enough, it's right to go north. You can't go south. It will be harder and harder to make money in the Waifu market in the future. You have to rely more on the mainland. A few years ago, there was no movie with a box office of over 100 million. How long has it been?"
Chen Guofu was talking when Yang Mi suddenly appeared and interrupted. He was immediately stared at by two pairs of eyes. His heart trembled for a moment, but when he thought of Mr. Lu as his patron, he couldn't help but puff up his chest.
"Mr. Lu, please invite us over?"
Chen Guofu and Chen Jiashang looked at each other, surprised and suspicious. They didn't care that the person who invited them was a girl. They immediately walked up to Lu Fei, respectfully and without any pretense of a senior director.
According to the rules, they should have paid a visit to the two big bosses of domestic entertainment.
"Mr. Lu, who are you looking for?"
Han Sanping looked left and right.
Lu Fei raised his lips and his eyes first fell on Chen Jiashang. In his previous life, he was the director of "Painted Skin 1" and the master Lin Chaoxian who directed "Operation Red Sea" and "Mekong".
Hong Kong circles are full of gangsterism, and nepotism between master and apprentice is very popular.
But soon he turned his attention to Chen Guofu. He was the filmmaker he wanted, who could protect Han Tang and Gao Yuanyuan.
You must know that Hua Yi was able to make a big name in domestic entertainment in the past. Feng Pants and Wang Jinghua accounted for two-thirds, and the other third was Chen Guofu, the "gold medal producer".
As soon as he left, Huayi's market value evaporated by 800 million.
"Mr. Lu wants to ask me to be the production director of Han and Tang?"
Chen Guofu couldn't help but be surprised, it was completely unexpected.
Lu Fei raised his lips, "Producer Chen is surprised?"
"Ah, yes, I was so surprised. I didn't expect Mr. Lu to accept Xiangjiang's production supervision system. I thought..."
Chen Guofu couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that he would pay such high attention to the producer. This is a pioneering work in the history of mainland film.
Mr. Lu deserves to be so successful!
“Is it right to insist on the director-centered system?”
Lu Fei smiled at them and nodded, disapprovingly. He was a supporter of the producer-centered system. When a movie is made, he must be responsible to investors and the company. Why make a movie if he doesn't make money?
"Producer Chen understands technical special effects and management investment. Talents like you are urgently needed in the Han and Tang Dynasties. You can discuss salary and salary with Mr. Zhong. If you agree, I hope you can take up the post immediately and start the development of "Painted Skin"
Daliang."
You are really good at judging people. Chen Guofu is very excited. He came north just to hug his thighs! Mr. Lu also has one of the thickest thighs!
It hit the spot, and I immediately became interested in Painted Skin.
Lu Fei was not bothered and simply repeated it with emphasis on the key points, emphasizing the concepts of 3D special effects and costume blockbusters.
"Mr. Lu, if we really want to achieve the effect you mentioned, the cost will be at least 80 million." Chen Guofu thought carefully and reminded cautiously.
"Haha! It's less, much less than I thought. I'm ready to invest 100 million."
As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, Yang Mi covered her mouth, not daring to breathe. Her mind was filled with "100 million", and her thoughts were wandering.
Chen Jiashang wasn't much better. He couldn't care about anything else and recommended himself with excitement: "Mr. Lu, does this movie have a director now?"
"Director Chen, thank you for your kindness. The director has been decided." Lu Fei declined without thinking.
Although Chen Jiashang was cast in "Painted Skin", he was a sure shot. It cannot be said to be exactly the same as his previous life, but at least it is similar. He also proved that the new generation of mainland actors can sustain the box office.
But this does not mean that Chen Jiashang is a person who has a heart for the mainland. Like Li Liqun, he hides it relatively deeply.
"Oh, I wonder who would be so honored to be favored by Mr. Lu? Is it the director Ning who made "The Stone"?"
Chen Jiashang spoke with a sour tone. He is a great Hong Kong director, and he took the initiative to direct a mainland film with a low profile, but he was rejected?
If it weren't for Mr. Lu who was standing in front of him, he would have turned away immediately.
"It's Wang Jing."
Lu Fei raised a wicked smile and tried to trick Fatty Wang to death.
"What! It's actually him!"
Chen Guofu and Chen Jiashang looked at each other, especially the latter, whose face was uncertain and he smiled coldly: "Mr. Lu, don't blame me for talking too much. Director Wang has a nickname in our circle, called 'The King of Bad Movies'.
Aren't you afraid that he will shoot "Painted Skin"..."
"At least he has never caused investors to lose money."
Lu Fei smiled and said bluntly that Wang Jing was smart, sensible and very cooperative with him. The key was that he was patriotic.
"Mr. Lu, I can talk, and I can also be patriotic."
Chen Jia Shang blurted out anxiously, with a sincere look on his face.
"Don't worry, the cast of "Painted Skin" also has requirements. The leading actors must all be mainland actors."
As soon as Lu Fei said these words, Chen Jiashang felt as if he had eaten a fly. He felt awkward. He wanted to open his mouth but did not dare to. He was timid and hesitated to move forward.
Chen Guofu's expression darkened, as if he was tied to a stone. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Lu, can you give me a few days to think about it?"
"Of course, but you have to seize the opportunity. Not everyone can get my invitation, and few can refuse me."
Lu Fei arched his eyebrows, his murderous eyes instantly disappeared, and his whole face returned to a harmless look. He patted their shoulders, like a spring breeze.
"Gulu~"
Chen Guofu was so scared that he didn't dare to sweat.
This, this is 22 years old?!
"Sorry, excuse me."
Lu Fei stopped and went straight to the bathroom.
After a while, he walked out casually and met Yang Mi in the corridor with her hands behind her back.
"Senior, wipe your hands."
She held out the handkerchief with both hands diligently.
"What are you doing here?"
Lu Fei pretended to be confused and looked up and down. His face was obviously not as square as before. His appearance was green and full of aura, unlike in his previous life where he always acted young.
"Study, senior, is there any role that I can play in "Painted Skin"?" Yang Mi felt her whole body tremble under his sharp gaze, "I don't dare think about the protagonist, just a supporting role."
"Why, the company didn't give you a new film contract?"
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes into a thin line.
"Yes, yes, but it's just an audition for Guo Xiang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". I don't know if I can play it yet."
Yang Mi clasped her hands together and begged with her eyes.
Lu Fei smacked his lips and said, there really is one.
It's not impossible for Sun Li to give her the role of "Xia Bing, the Conquering Witch". After all, she played "Lin Yueru" in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".
Yang Mi bit her lip and handed the handkerchief to her respectfully again: "Senior, I will definitely work hard! Here, give me a chance!"
Seeing her unparalleled ambition, Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and took the handkerchief happily, but immediately noticed something was wrong. Under the silky touch, there was a hard card.
Yang Mi summoned up all her courage, leaned into his ear and said, "I'm still the same one." She immediately spread her legs and disappeared in a flash.
"No way? I don't believe it."
Lu Fei flipped over the room card in his hand, feeling mixed. Was this really asking him to use his own body to personally test her true body?
………
Back in the magnificent lobby, the celebration banquet is coming to an end.
Gao Yuanyuan and Zhong Lifang came to her immediately: "A Fei, where were you just now? Something big happened."
"What's up?"
Lu Fei put his hands in his pockets and couldn't help but touch the room key card.
Gao Yuanyuan noticed that Yang Mi and him came out one after another, but turned a blind eye and said in a serious tone: "Sister Hua from Huayi suddenly found me for some reason and wanted to take all her artists to join the Han and Tang Dynasties. She asked if we would accept her.
receive."
"You govern the Han and Tang Dynasties. What do you think?"
Lu Fei took a glass of wine from the bartender's plate and gently shook the red wine, already having a plan in mind.
The reason why Huayi has been able to build such a big empire is that Feng Pengtong, Chen Guofu, and Wang Jinghua are indispensable. Over the years, it has grown from less than ten signed artists to a huge team of more than forty people, especially people like Chen Daoming, Hu Jun,
Xia Yu was attracted solely by her personal charm, which also led to her unparalleled status in Huayili.
If that's all it is, that's it.
Mainly, the original agency model was still 1.0, with nanny-style management like Wang Jinghua, taking care of everything, including business, acting, public relations, accounting, and even food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and toilet.
It is the most primitive and most centralized extensive model.
Also because of the development, the Wang brothers could only acquiesce to Wang Jinghua and sign all the stars to her agency, and then affiliated with Huayi, so that they could accommodate each other and achieve each other's achievements.
But once Huayi's wings are full, this independent kingdom is like a cancer that will be removed sooner or later.
"This this……"
Zhong Lifang glanced at Gao Yuanyuan and hesitated to speak.
"Whatever you say, don't worry about Huayi. If you want to accept it, just accept it. There is no need to look at Huayi's face in the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Lu Fei took a sip of wine.
"No! The brokerage business of Han and Tang Dynasties is now all managed by Sister Hong. Her ability, experience, and connections are no worse than Sister Hua."
Gao Yuanyuan did not hesitate at all.
Zhong Lifeng said: "Mr. Lu, I agree with Mr. Gao. Even if we can accept it, we can't accept it. Customers are bullying the store. Sister Hua and her artists are too powerful. Huayi cannot accept it, and neither can we."
"It's over now, just answer her like this."
Lu Fei smiled and said: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain."
Gao Yuanyuan conveyed this to Wang Jinghua, but she did not give up. As we all know, Mr. Lu was the talker in the entire Beijing circle, and Mr. Lu had the thickest thighs.
How many people have become famous because they worshiped Mr. Lu’s camp!
Lu Huateng, Liu Edong, Sun Mengquan, Wu Haijun, etc., the worst is Liu Qijin. The culture of Han and Tang Dynasties didn't use Mr. Lu's money. The coal bosses collectively lined up to throw money at the pole.
If you have legs, you will have a way!
"Mr. Gao, I ask you to call me 'Yuanyuan'."
Wang Jinghua said persistently: "Don't worry that Sister Hong and I can't get along. We can divide the work. She is in charge of internal affairs and I am in charge of external affairs. I can completely manage recruiting people and external relations. I know that your new drama will use Zhouxun. If Yuan
If Yuan is willing to accept me, I will definitely find a way to get her to agree to come to Han and Tang Dynasties."
Isn’t that just adding to the feud with Huayi? It’s not conducive to unity!
Gao Yuanyuan flatly refused. Han and Tang wanted to compete with Hollywood, "Sister Hua, our future focus will be on film and television production, investment, promotion and theater management. Agents only account for a small part. If there are opportunities for cooperation in the future, we will definitely use Hua."
My sister’s person.”
"Alas~"
Wang Jinghua sighed, her expression tangled.
After a while, she stood up, looked outside, saw dark clouds floating in the clear sky, and finally dialed Chengtian Entertainment's landline.
"Hello? Mr. Wu, do you have time to meet tomorrow?"
As she spoke, the sky became darker and darker, and the shadow covered half of her face. She secretly felt cruel,
I don't want to give away such a power for nothing, I look up to Lu Fei.
It is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself. I want to set up a new Helianshe!
No, Xinhuayi!
…………
The next day, I don’t know where the gossip came from, and the media suddenly broke the shocking news——
"Wang Jing resigned from Huayi and joined Chengtianmen".
"Wang Jinghua had an internal fight with the Wang brothers, and out of anger she took 40 celebrities to join Chengtian, draining the salary from under the cauldron."
"..."
Rumor has it that there are noses and eyes, and the entire entertainment industry is shaken.
Anyone who is involved in the industry knows what Wang Jinghua represents. She has a lot of celebrity and network resources in her hands. From the mainland to Hong Kong, almost all of them are in the front line, including Chen Daoming, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui and other big names.
When such a person leaves, the circle will definitely be reshuffled.
Previously, there were three most powerful private film and television companies in the domestic entertainment industry: Huayi, Hairun and Hantang. Although there were struggles, they were at least in the Beijing circle. They paid attention to harmony, gave Mr. Lu Lu face, and respected the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Hold the bull's ear.
But now, an orange sky appears halfway.
The power dogs behind him are the wrong ones, and they are backed by Hong Kong circles like Jiahe, and they have a background of Japanese capital. They are not from the same group at all!
Once Wang Jinghua and Wu Kebo join forces, they will definitely become bigger and they are eyeing each other. It is still unclear whether it will be good or bad for the entire film and television market, but one thing is certain -
Huayi must have been seriously injured and is the only loser.
Naturally, paparazzi entertainment reporters would not let go of breaking news. They swarmed in early in the morning and blocked the door of Huayi. There was a lot of people.
"All artists have contracts and everything is subject to the company's arrangements. Of course, they have their own choices and freedom, but it will not affect our continued production of good film and television works."
Wang Zhongjun faced countless cameras, made a statement with a straight face, then ignored the media's interview questions and left the scene without looking back.
"Mr. Wang!"
"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment!"
Looking at Wang Zhongjun's disappearing back, everyone thought at the same time that even though he was so strong to the outside world, he was just knocking out his teeth and swallowing it, just to save face.
The office was filled with smoke and a foul atmosphere.
When Wang Zhonglei saw the door suddenly open, he put out his cigarette and handed over several documents, his tone full of urgency:
"Brother, look at this!"
Wang Zhongjun stopped, glanced at ten lines, and looked down at the list. A shadow shrouded half of his face, becoming more and more gloomy and terrifying, especially when he saw that the list was densely packed with thirty or forty names.
Xia Yu, Hu Jun, Zhou Jun, Tong Dawei, Guo Xiaodong, Yuan Quan, Li Shuangbing, Fan Erbing...
"Sister Hua said that she doesn't want any of the 50% options promised before, as long as she can exchange for the freedom of the artists on the list."
Wang Zhonglei looked ugly and gritted his teeth.
"Who does she think she is!"
Wang Zhongjun threw the information to the ground angrily.
Wang Zhonglei said helplessly: "Brother, no matter whether we agree or not, there will definitely be many people who want to follow Sister Hua to Wu Kebo's Chengtian. There are so many artists missing, and we will be very passive. When the time comes..."
"Huayi is missing anyone!"
Wang Zhongjun was still not relieved, he crushed the white paper with his feet several times and made a few footprints, "If it were us, it would be more like leaving! Damn Wu Kebo, didn't he only dare to rely on his capital from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan?"
So arrogant, I don't believe what kind of trouble these people can make if they go to Chengtian."
"Yes, I'm just worried about going to Chengtian. The key..."
Wang Zhonglei hesitated again and again, "The key point is that I heard it. I only heard from the artists under Sister Hua that she had approached Mr. Gao and wanted to go to Hantang together. Brother, you know that the person behind Hantang is Mr. Lu!"
"Really? Give me your phone. Give me your phone quickly."
Wang Zhongjun was excited, and when he saw his younger brother's solemn expression, he immediately became frightened. Even if Chengtian's capital from Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan were to add one dollar, he was not even half as scary as Mr. Lu.
