365 Days and Days East-West Palace, Yeye Shura Field
Huayi Brokerage Company, President's Office
Fan Xiaopang looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him apologetically, but still spoke firmly.
"Sister Hua, I'm sorry. Stars has a bright future and I don't want to miss this opportunity."
Sitting behind her desk, Wang Jinhua was still digesting the news that she had just learned that Fan Xiaopang wanted to terminate the contract, and could not hide her shock.
Compared with Yuan Kong, the current Wang Jinhua is not the so-called number one agent in the mainland, at least she cannot compare with Jiang Yue.
On the surface, Vice President Jiang, who still serves as the manager of artists such as Cao Xuan, Hu Jing, Dong Xuan, etc., is now definitely the ace manager in the entertainment industry.
Although Dong Xuan, Gao Yuanyuan and others have not yet fully risen, Fan Xiaopang, Li Bingbing, Tong Dawei and others under Wang Jinhua have not reached their peak either.
Although Wang Jinhua has successively signed mainland business deals with some Hong Kong and Taiwan artists in the past two years, such as Tony Leung Jiahui, Rosamund Kwan, and Anita Yuen.
But Cao Xuan's popularity and influence alone surpassed all of them, let alone the fourth little actress Hu Jing.
If it weren't for Cao Xuan's lack of interest in Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, with Fanxing's size, he would still have several front-line actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan under his command.
Regardless of the comparison, Vice President Jiang is more suitable than Wang Jinhua to be the number one agent in the mainland, or even the number one agent in China.
However, Vice President Jiang has been with Boss Cao for a long time and likes to keep a low profile. He does not particularly value these false reputations. More importantly, he does not dare.
Wang Jinhua and Huayi have a cooperative relationship. She is known as the number one agent in the mainland and is easy to sign people.
Jiang Yue is the vice president of Fanxing. In the final analysis, she is just a senior executive of the company and the head of the artist management department. All artists of Fanxing have ownership rights in the company and follow the company's arrangements. It is useless for her to hype up this name.
What's more, the two most famous artists under Jiang Yue, one is the boss and the other is the boss's wife. She calls herself the number one and takes all the credit. What do Cao Xuan and the others think?
Not to mention self-recognition, even if others called her that, Jiang Yue would always decline modestly.
Although she is not as popular as Vice President Jiang, Wang Jinhua is also doing quite well.
She has many powerful generals under her, and more importantly, she is not working for others, but a partner, and her status in Huayi is better than Jiang Yue.
But there are advantages and disadvantages. Wang Jinhua wants to be independent, and even all the current artist contracts are signed in his own hands. He is said to be under Huayi, but in fact he belongs to Wang Jinhua.
If you want to make money, you don't have enough capital, and the food you give out is not enough. The Wang brothers are not charity owners, so their resources are certainly not generous.
So much so that the resources and treatment that Wang Jinhua's artists have access to are completely different from those of Fanxing artists.
That's why we see Huayi artists like Fan Xiaopang and Li Bingbing, but it's difficult to get the resources of Huayi Films. This is because both parties say they are a family, but in fact they are in the same bed and have different dreams, and each has its own thoughts.
To use an analogy, Fanxing and other artists are their biological sons. They are fed and clothed to grow up, carefully trained along the way, and then make money for the family.
As for Huayi's current group of artists, most of them are stepmothers. The ones who are filial and obedient can give sweet lips to those who stutter, while the others are left to fend for themselves.
After Wang Jinhua left and Huayi restructured its agency system, the artists had their own children. They were given food and drink to make them fat and strong, and even launched a star shareholding system to bind them.
It is precisely because of this reason that Wang Jinhua is destined to be unable to be "independent" in the true sense, and it is difficult to resist poaching from large companies like Fanxing.
"Bingbing, please think more about it. There is also great competition in Fanxing. Don't forget, their first sister is Hu Jing."
Fan Xiaopang has a very high emotional intelligence. Cao Xuan originally wanted to call Wang Jinhua in person, but she stopped him and blamed him directly, saying that he wanted to join Fanxing. Cao Xuan was moved by her and agreed.
Putting aside the truth and falsehood, Fanxing has at least erased the bad reputation of poaching, and will not openly antagonize Huayi and Wang Jinhua.
After that, Fan Xiaopang didn't play any tricks, and took the initiative to come to Wang Jinhua to show off his cards directly, planning to get together and leave, leaving some room at that time.
Wang Jinhua was caught off guard, but he could see that she was determined to leave, but she still couldn't help but speak out to save her.
She still values Fan Xiaopang very much. He is one of the most capable little flowers in her hands, and she doesn't want to let him go easily.
Fan Xiaopang also couldn't bear it. She couldn't stand the various weird rules of Qiong Yao Company, so she had a falling out with him, and was then introduced to Wang Jinhua.
With Wang Jinhua's help, she gradually became famous and became one of the top stars in the industry. Wang Jinhua was kind to Fan Xiaopang in her career.
At the same time, Wang Jinhua is generous and attentive, taking care of her artists like a nanny, and is very trusted by the artists.
The same is true for Fan Xiaopang. She is very grateful to Wang Jinhua in her heart, but she also knows that Wang Jinhua has limited resources. If she wants to go up, Boss Cao is the one with the most talent.
Pressing down on the emotions in his heart, Fan Xiaopang calmed down and expressed calmly.
"Sister Hua, I know in my heart how good you are to me, and I am very grateful. But in the past two years, you have also seen that Huayi does not regard us as one of our own.
In the "Cell Phone" scene, I did not hesitate to offend Li Bingbing and Li Bingbing in order to get the female lead. I kept myself low and underwhelmed in front of the two brothers and Director Feng for several months, and they still looked down on me in their hearts.
Cao Xuan is generous and takes me very seriously. After I come over, he will tailor-make a multi-million-dollar TV series for me. All of Fanxing's film and television projects are open to me.
More importantly..."
Fan Xiaopang looked at Wang Jinhua seriously, and his voice was slightly excited: "Cao Xuan treats me as a human being. Although we are a boss and employee, he will not treat me as an actor who comes and yells at me casually, nor will he treat me in a condescending manner.
Look at me with eyes.
He flatters me and I make money for him. We are all on an equal footing and I will get the respect I deserve..."
"Bingbing?!"
Seeing Fan Xiaopang's voice getting louder and louder, Wang Jinhua subconsciously stopped him. Fan Xiaopang took a deep breath, gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his middle finger, and relaxed his voice.
"Sister Hua, you are very kind to me, but I don't like Huayi. I will pay you the liquidated damages in full.
Although we won’t work together in the future, our relationship will still be there. If you have something to do, just call me and I will definitely be there.”
"well."
Having said that, Wang Jinhua no longer wasted any more words, stood up, hugged Fan Xiaopang, and said her final farewell.
"I will lower the liquidated damages to avoid being unable to explain it. Please be considerate.
Fanxing is a good platform. You should work hard in the past, but don't compete with Hu Jing. You also know her identity, so just support her.
I have studied before, Fanxing has many resources, Hu Jing doesn't care, and Cao Xuan is reluctant to let her go, but it is your chance. Gao and Dong have limited character and ability. As long as Hu Jing does not end up, you have a high chance of succeeding.
"
After saying this, Wang Jinhua looked at Fan Xiaopang with red eyes and patted her shoulder with a bright smile.
"Go ahead. Sister Hua wishes you a bright future. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, Sister Hua will always be your natal family."
Half an hour later, Fan Xiaopang left with an assistant and a manager after completing some preliminary procedures.
Before getting in the car, she looked back at the office building where Huayi was located, her beautiful eyes wide.
The former maid Jinsuo is "dead", and now she is the second generation of Fanxing's first sister - Niu Hulu Fan Ye.
………
On March 28, Huayi announced that Fan Xiaopang had officially terminated his contract with the company, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Fan Xiaopang made her debut in "Huanzhugege". Since then, she has acted in many movies along the way. Before that, she was the heroine of Feng Xiaogang's new movie. Although she is not on the front line yet, she is still one of the popular stars.
Not to mention Huayi, which has vaguely held the leading position among private film companies in the mainland for the past two years, and even the popularity of Fanxing may not be able to overshadow it.
How could the media not pay attention to the sudden termination of the contract between the two parties?
Recalling that Feng Xiaogang announced that he would start his own business not long ago, many people speculated whether Lao Feng had poached someone from his old club.
But before the media came to the door, Fanxing announced the news and welcomed new artist Fan Xiaopang to sign and join.
It's really lively now.
Huayi is the number one private film company in Mainland China, and its status in the field of TV dramas with stars is not inferior. In recent years, it has produced and participated in many hit TV series, and has promoted the four leading actress Hu Jing, who is unparalleled in the limelight.
Between two film and television "tycoons" in the mainland entertainment industry, an artist suddenly changes jobs. This is more interesting than Lao Feng poaching his old club.
What's even more interesting is that Fan Xiaopang had an affair with Cao Xuan. Although it was later clarified, the media didn't care about it.
This wave, this wave is the rekindling of old love, Fan Xiaopang rushes into the stars and competes with Hu Jing...
Countless melon-eaters were so excited that they even imagined countless scenes of the Shura field in their minds.
An "informed person" related to Tianya broke the news, and even stated that there was a bloody storm within Fanxing, and the fight was so dark that the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were gone, and many artists were forced to take sides. What kind of nonsense and standard party.
But in fact, it was uneventful on the day Fan Xiaopang joined the company. He only met Hu Jing the next day, and he called her "Sister Jing" in an honest and obedient manner.
Hu Jing had known about Fan Xiaopang's signing for a long time, and also understood that she was likely to be the first sister of Fanxing in the future, so her psychological change was not big.
The Empress of the East Palace actually doesn't care about the title of Sister Fanxing, and she doesn't insist that her acting career must be ahead of others. As long as Fan Xiaopang keeps to herself and doesn't have thoughts about Cao Xuan, she doesn't even mind helping her.
But just because Hu Jing doesn't mind, it doesn't mean that others don't have any ideas.
Especially Gao Yuanyuan, her career ambitions are stronger than those of Yang Xue and Dong Xuan. In addition, "Eternal Dragon Sword" is about to be broadcast, and she has already regarded the second deal of the company's female stars as her own.
.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuanyuan would remain indifferent to Fan Xiaopang who suddenly appeared.
It's not like Yang Xue and Dong Xuan don't have any opinions. At least they are considered old people in the company. They can't just come and ride on them. Being a Buddhist doesn't mean they're easy to bully.
It can be said that, except for Liu Tianxian who was still in school, Fan Xiaopang was implicitly targeted by other actresses as soon as he entered the company.
Fan Xiaopang was very indifferent. No matter how difficult it was, it would be hard to get past Zhao and Li Bingbing.
A group of actresses who were spoiled by Cao Xuan had no idea of the dangers of the outside entertainment industry. In the eyes of Fan Xiaopang, who had played the hell-level dungeon, these people were like chickens and dogs and were nothing to be afraid of.
Hu Jing watched the show silently. No matter how good Gao Yuanyuan or the others were, they were not the masters who could be swept away casually. No matter what they did, they would still take away some of Fan Xiaopang's energy. In addition to his career, I am afraid that he would not have much time to focus on Cao Xuan.
On the body.
However, she did not underestimate the enemy. She knew that Cao Daguan, Fan Xiaopang with peach blossom eyes, fox face, and snow-skinned skin, suited someone's aesthetics very well, so she had to be vigilant at all times.
Thinking of this, she casually sent a new text message to the number marked [.]: Level 1 alert (with the potential to upgrade to a special level)...
Cao Xuan didn't know about the undercurrents among the female artists in the company, and he wouldn't care if he knew about it. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The entertainment industry is also a vanity fair, and competition is bound to be inevitable. As long as you stay within the rules and don't go out of your way, he will turn a blind eye.
He is now busy thinking about how to promote Fan Xiaopang as the new first lady.
There must be no shortage of fashion resources, which is also the key to Fan Xiaopang's success in the industry.
There are also commercial activities, which are Fan Xiaopang’s weapon and Fanxing’s important future income for her, which should not be underestimated.
Scandals should be toned down, and at least those scandalous scandals should be avoided, as they are not conducive to the image positioning of artists and will also disgrace the reputation of the stars.
Being beautiful and sexy is not the same as being sexy, so you need to make a distinction in this regard.
Of course, if the scandal is suppressed, it will definitely affect Fan Xiaopang's overall exposure, which requires works to make up for it, which is Fanxing's specialty.
In the future, Fan Xiaopang will become popular again, and even became the number one female star in domestic entertainment for a time, but there are only a few truly representative roles.
In fact, Fan Xiaopang's acting skills are not bad, at least above the average level. Her works are not without their merits, but what they lack are influential and national works, and impressive roles.
Even though she has won the Golden Rooster Best Actress, Hundred Flowers Best Actress, and Tokyo Best Actress, when many people mention her role, their first reaction is that she was the golden lock in her debut film "Huanzhugege".
In addition to Jinsuo, there may also be Ma Zhen and "Apple", many starring movies, and even deliberately bordering on the sidelines as a selling point.
For an actor to do this, it may not be called a failure, but it is difficult to call it a success...
Fanxing is following the path of high-quality film and television. The first lady of the company should not say that she is superior to other women in terms of talent, but she should at least have some film and television works that she can produce.
As mentioned before, Fan Xiaopang has a pure and beautiful temperament. He can play a pretty girl and control a femme fatale. He has a tough and straightforward temper. He is also very suitable for chick flicks. Generally speaking, his acting career is quite wide.
Fan Xiaopang is new to Fanxing, and he is going after the first sister. He will most definitely give her the first blow and support her as much as possible to rise to the top.
Cao Xuan thought about it and realized that workplace dramas are now too advanced and domestic audiences may not be able to accept them.
Light comedy is not suitable, and it conflicts with Hu Jing's genre. Fan Xiaopang, the heroine of the drama, cannot support it. Idol drama is fine, but there is no way to highlight the heroine to the greatest extent.
Therefore, Cao Xuan prefers to let Fan Xiaopang play the lead role of an ancient heroine.
He was first thinking about the origin of the palace drama "The Golden Branch", but later he found out that TVB had already approved the project, so he cut it off too late.
Later, Cao Xuan discovered that "The Palace Plan" was also good. It was still one of the peak works of palace fighting. The heroine had more growth potential and a more likable personality. It was set in the Tang Dynasty and had more costumes than the Qing Dynasty's "The Golden Branch".
Bold and beautiful.
However, Cao Xuan is a little hesitant because this TV series is called the Hong Kong version of "Dae Jang Geum" and many plots are similar to "Dae Jang Geum".
In 2003, the project of "Dae Jang Geum" was already established in South Korea, and it may have started filming now. If Fanxing follows the filming, will it be labeled as a "plagiarism of Korean dramas" in the future?
Later, he thought of "Beauty's Scheming". If this drama puts aside some of its silly flaws, it can actually be regarded as the pinnacle of Dead Girl's drama, and its ratings and influence are not small.
The original version was played by Ziwei, but now it has been snatched away by the maid Jin Suo, so it is considered a fate.
However, it is worth mentioning that the character design of "Beauty's Scheming" is somewhat borrowed from "The Palace's Scheming", and the plot is directly copied from a novel.
Cao Xuan was speechless in the end, why are they all just like him?
Is there a copy of all the TV series in the world...
"The Desire of the Golden Branch" is no longer available, and the follow-up mainly focuses on two dramas: "The Palace's Scheming" and "The Beauty's Scheming", with Cao Xuan preferring the latter.
The land for Fanxing Film and Television City has been approved, covering an area of 20 square kilometers, of which 15 square kilometers are used for the film and television city buildings and peripheral facilities, and 5 square kilometers are used for the development of Baiyangdian waters for tourism.
This land area is not small. The total area of Hengdian Film and Television City in later generations was only more than 30 square kilometers. Now the land obtained by Fanxing is enough for the early and mid-term construction of the film and television city.
Of course, just in case, Fanxing still signed a treaty with the local government. If it continues to expand in the future, it will give priority to acquiring land.
Now Fanxing Film and Television City has begun design and planning, and the first batch mainly includes two building groups.
One is [Chaoge City], which is based on the styles of the Pre-Qin and Han dynasties. It mainly includes palaces, city walls, mansions, gardens and other buildings. It can film film and television dramas from the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qin and Han Dynasties.
One is [Millennium Street], which are all ancient street scenes, including Qinhan Street, Sui and Tang Streets, Song Street, Ming Street, Qing Street, Republic of China Street and Times Street, which are used for street scene shooting and tourism development.
In the evening, there will be a lantern display, the staff will role-play in costumes, and there will be more delicious food and new gadgets.
Tourists put on ancient costumes and wander around from the Qin and Han dynasties to the 1970s and 1980s, taking pictures, sightseeing, food, etc., and doing whatever they want.
Prior to this, the relevant land had been leveled to a certain extent following survey and planning. This summer, Fanxing will officially start "city construction".
If SARS is stopped early, construction may even start early. If the progress goes smoothly, some finished buildings may be opened early next year.
"Beauty's Scheming" happens to be set in the Han Dynasty, and some scenes can be filmed in [Chaoge City], which can serve as an advertisement for the film and television city.
No matter which drama I choose, since SARS is temporarily unable to start work, I will write the script first and then decide based on the situation.
Anyway, Fan Xiaopang still has to film "Yan Shuang Eagle 2" and "Lucky Star Shines on Zhu Bajie", so he has plenty of time.
The premise is that she doesn't fall over again. It's not easy to be in the Chinese entertainment industry. You have to be frightened even though you have nothing to do...
………
On April 1, 2003, the superstar died.
It caused a direct sensation in the entire entertainment industry and had great influence, and even became a social incident to a certain extent.
The controversy surrounding Fan Xiaopang's joining Fanxing was instantly suppressed. Compared with the departure of a generation of superstars, let alone changing jobs, even if Fanxing Huayi and the two companies were really at odds, they would have to move aside.
Because of the special way of his death, coupled with the various scandals he had carried out over the years, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the place, and there were a lot of conspiracy theories. Tens of thousands of posts were posted on the Tianya community every day.
Cao Xuan was not familiar with this person and had only met him a few times. His impression was that he had a very gentle personality. He was not very talkative in private, but he loved to laugh.
The other party admired Cao Xuan's talent very much and praised Cao Xuan several times in front of the media.
Among the old and famous singers in Xiangjiang, he and Liu Tianwang were the ones who praised Cao Xuan the most. Especially in the early days when Cao Xuan was just becoming famous, these two really praised and encouraged Cao Xuan without any other purpose.
Now that this person has passed away, Cao Xuan doesn't know how to describe his feelings.
It's sad to say that the friendship between the two can't really be said to be true, but it's not sad. Cao Xuan felt a little bitter in his heart, maybe more of regret and pity.
Cao Xuan did not go to Xiangjiang to pay homage, but had elegiac couplets and wreaths specially made and sent to him at roadside memorials and funerals to express his condolences.
After entering April, SARS became increasingly serious, and the World Health Organization made successive statements, finally attracting nationwide attention.
On April 17, the National SARS Command Center was established in Beijing, officially kicking off the fight against SARS.
Since mid-April, the number of cases in Beijing has been increasing day by day. Traffic control has been strict, patients have been strictly quarantined, the May Day Golden Week has been cancelled, schools have been suspended, and relevant units have even begun to work from home.
At this time, Cao Xuan's advantage of responding in advance came to light. Most of the crew began to stop work before the outbreak period arrived. Various companies also completed their work accordingly, and some people were able to go home and work.
The complaints that were originally caused by Cao Xuan's forced orders suddenly started to grow louder, and Cao Xuan's prestige among the employees was unprecedentedly high.
However, Cao Xuan was too lazy to take care of them. After the establishment of the national command center in mid-April, the capital began to strictly control the situation, but the situation was still quite serious.
For the sake of safety, Cao Xuan followed the original plan and moved the East and West Palaces to the [Caojia Hutong] in Shichahai.
If nothing unexpected happens, three people will have to live under the same roof for at least 1 to 2 months.
Day after day, there are palaces in the east and west, and every night there is a Shura field!
Official Cao was both nervous and looking forward to it...

ps: I recommend the book "The Strongest Male God in the Wilderness". This is really not a story about Neptune in the wilderness, but those girls are really pitiful. He is just kind-hearted and doesn't want others to go hungry and sleep in cold beds...
