"Who is it? How awesome is it?" Fang Jing looked forward to it.
Although Yang Sisi's brokerage company started late and was only established last year, she has strong business ability and sharp vision, and she is considered the number one figure in the brokerage circle.
Now the development of Yixin Entertainment has surpassed that of most domestic brokerage companies. Its artists are becoming popular and their future prospects are unlimited. But now Yang Ning actually said that the person she is going to meet next is like a child in front of Yixin.
"Wang Jinhua, have you heard of it?"
"It sounds familiar." Fang Jing seemed to have heard the name vaguely, but couldn't remember it.
"She is not an artist, but the fate of many artists is in her hands." Holding the steering wheel, Yang Ning looked ahead without turning her head, and stepped on the accelerator to speed up.
"Do you know when the profession of agent was introduced in the Mainland?"
Fang Jing shook his head. In the 1970s and 1980s, film school was still a guaranteed job. Graduation packages were distributed. People worked in studios as odd jobs in lighting, editing, videography, and art. They learned from masters, and only a small number of people became actors.
Filming and other tasks are all tasks assigned by the superiors. The leading actors in a film can earn tens of dollars. In that environment, private film and television companies cannot survive, let alone the profession of an agent.
"The first agent appeared in the mainland in 1994. She was Wang Jinhua, known as Sister Hua in the world. The first artist she signed was named Chen Daoming. Before that, only Xiangjiang had the title of agent."
"In the golden years of the 1990s, Xiangjiang was known as the Hollywood of the East, and the movies produced every year were popular in Asia. When the leading actors here were paid tens of dollars, the salary was tens of millions, and the corpses on the ground were all thirty, plus
I received more than 100 red envelopes." Yang Ning's eyes lit up when she talked about this.
"At that time, many actors from the mainland rushed to join this "Hollywood", but there were no agents or companies. When they went there, they all acted as walk-ons. There were not many actors who did not have a single line in a movie."
Fang Jing listened with great interest. He couldn't see these in the books on the theater. He just had been in the industry for a long time and knew a little bit from the words of some old actors.
It is said that Xiangjiang occupied the entire Asian market at that time. In their eyes, foreign actors were no more than country bumpkins and they looked down upon them at all. Those who played corpses were paid higher than the actors here in the past.
"But what does it have to do with Wang Jinghua?"
"It's a big relationship." Yang Ning looked serious when mentioning those years. "In the 1990s, Sister Hua single-handedly won over a large number of actors and took them under her wing. Then she joined forces with the Wang brothers in Yanjing to found Huayi. Now four
At least one-third of the first-line artists over the age of ten have worked for her, including many movie stars and actresses."
"One was rich and the other was wealthy, and the two families hit it off immediately. After joining forces, they produced more than a dozen blockbuster movies and TV shows, which made a number of people and directors popular. The great director Feng Xiaogang was one of the beneficiaries."
"After seeing the market, I contacted Xiangjiang to cooperate with them. They are all from the same company. Mainland actors work together to help each other when they go there to act. This is how they have the confidence to fight against each other."
"After the millennium, due to differences in ideas, Sister Hua left Huayi alone to join Tiancheng Entertainment. There were as many as fifty or sixty artists who were willing to risk high liquidated damages to follow her, including the current national first-class actor Chen Daoming.
Hu Jun, Best Actor Liang Jiahui, Best Actor Xia Yu, Best Actress Liu Jialin, A-list actor Ren Quan, Tong Dawei, Zhou Yun...
"She has been in the industry for 20 years, and she has made more than 80 celebrities famous."
Every time Yang Ning read a name, Fang Jing's heart twitched. These people were all top-notch, no little fresh meat was enough to fight in front of them!
Speaking of Wang Jinhua, Yang Ning's tone was full of admiration: "In your field, the king is the highest, but in our broker field, the name Wang Jinhua is the highest, the number one broker in the mainland, no one!"
She smiled and continued: "Sisi's idol is Sister Hua. Ten years ago, when she got her first job after graduating from college, she went to Tiancheng Entertainment and worked as an intern under Sister Hua."
"Later, by chance, I was noticed by Huo Bing from Huayi, so I went to work as their publicity director. After accumulating contacts, I resigned last year and started my own company to work alone."
Unexpectedly, Yang Sisi, the chief coach of 800 Marketing Account, had such an experience. Even she admired people who were willing to be their interns. No wonder Yang Ning said that people might look down on him.
When he thought about meeting such a legendary figure that night, Fang Jing felt a little uneasy and swallowed, "Sister Ning, how did you get in touch with such a famous person?"
"Because I was also an intern under her before. Didn't you switch to Huanrui this time? She happened to be working in Shanghai, so I introduced you to her."
"She is very busy. She has to catch a flight back to Yanjing tomorrow. She only has half an hour in the evening. She doesn't like artists who have no independent opinions. It's not convenient for me to talk about many things. I can only rely on you!"
Fang Jing frowned and tried to ask: "There is no problem in negotiating, but will a company as big as theirs allow me to cooperate in the name of a studio?"
It's not that he isn't confident, it's just that Wang Jinhua has a great background.
"If she doesn't agree, she won't come. You can just talk about it, but just give up when things get better. That's pretty much it."
Yang Ning looked solemn, "Tiancheng Entertainment has four major companies. Film, TV, and records are all in one place. The remaining one is the Eighteen Agency Culture controlled by Sister Hua. If she asks you which department you want to join, just say
Join the 18 brokerage culture.”
"Yes! I remember it!" Fang nodded.
Knowing yourself and the enemy means you can win a hundred battles. In order to understand Tiancheng, Fang Jing took out his phone and searched for their information. After a few minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder it's so awesome. It turns out that Tiancheng and Jiahe were partners who could compete with Shaw Brothers TVB at their peak. They are another powerful company and deserve to be a giant. In front of them, Yixin Entertainment is really a child.
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, Fang Jing and Yang Ning ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the door of the restaurant. The private room had been reserved, but to show their sincerity, they were going to pick up people at the door.
"belch!"
Fang Jing burped. He had been waiting for more than forty minutes and drank a little too much coffee.
Yang Ning rolled her eyes and said, "Can't you drink less and use it as a drink?"
"Sister, I'm hungry! I haven't eaten anything all day. You woke me up for a ride for a few hours in the morning. Then I met Sister Sisi and my legs were broken while I was choosing clothes in the afternoon."
A woman's ability to buy clothes refreshed Fang Jing's outlook. In the afternoon, she accompanied Yang Ning to visit several shopping malls. She said that if you want to meet people, you must dress appropriately. She tried on dozens of items with great interest, and finally bought a pair of stockings.
, that’s right, just a pair of stockings.
What's the point of this? Things that can be settled in three minutes have been delayed for several hours, and he is so tired that his calves are trembling now!
"Here we come!" Yang Ning gently slapped Fang Jing on the shoulder and pulled him to his feet.
Not far away, a woman in her forties or fifties with short shoulder-length hair walked over. When she saw her face clearly, Fang Jing couldn't believe that this was the famous Wang Jinhua.
