China Entertainment 1997

Huayi Brokerage Company, President's Office

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."

Wang Jinhua, who was sitting behind the desk, was still digesting the news that Xiaopang wanted to terminate the contract, and couldn't 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, and Dong Xuan, is now definitely the ace manager in the entertainment industry.

Although Dong Xuan, Gao Yuanyuan and others have not yet fully risen, Wang Jinhua's Xiaopang, Li Bingbing, Tong Dawei and others 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 Liang Jiahui, Guan Zhilin, 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 have a few Hong Kong and Taiwan front-line players 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 her popularity is not as high as that of 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 pros and cons that depend on each other. Wang Jinhua wants to be independent, and even all the artist contracts currently signed by him are 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 philanthropists, so their resources are definitely 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 Xiao Pang 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 all 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. Those 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 reorganized the agency system, the artists were married and given food and drink to make them fat and strong. They even launched a star shareholding system to bind them.

Officially because of this reason, Wang Jinhua is destined to be unable to be truly "independent", and it is difficult to resist poaching from large companies like Fanxing.

"Bingbing, please think more about it. Fanxing is also very competitive. Don't forget, their first sister is Hu Jing."

Xiaopang has a high emotional intelligence. Cao Xuan originally wanted to call Wang Jinhua in person, but she stopped him. He directly blamed himself for the incident, 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, 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 for him.

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 ​​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.

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 flowers in the circle. Wang Jinhua was kind to Xiao Pang in her career.

At the same time, Wang Jinhua is generous and attentive, taking care of the artists like a nanny, and is very trusted by the artists.

The same is true for 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 biggest advantage.

Pressing down on the emotions in his heart, 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 you have also seen it in the past two years. Huayi does not regard us as one of our own at all.

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……"

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, let alone use that kind of condescending attitude. Look at me.

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 that Fatty's voice was getting louder and louder, Wang Jinhua stopped him subconsciously. Fatty 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 be working 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 Xiaopang, and said her final farewell.

"I will lower the liquidated damages in case the other party cannot 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 it before. Fanxing has a lot of 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 doesn't end up, you have a high chance of succeeding. "

After saying this, Wang Jinhua looked at the fat girl 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, Xiaopang, who had initially handled some of the procedures, left with an assistant and a manager.

Before getting in the car, she looked back at the office building where Huayi was located, her beautiful eyes widening.

The former maid Jinsuo is "dead", and now she is the second generation of Fanxing's first sister - Niu Hulu Little Fatty.

………

On March 28, Huayi announced that Xiaopang had officially terminated his contract with the company, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Xiao Pang made her debut in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", and has acted in many movies since then. She was the heroine of Feng Xiaogang's new movie before. 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 Xiaopang to sign and join.

It's really exciting now.

Huayi is the number one private film company in the Mainland, and its position 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 Xiaopang had an affair with Cao Xuan. Although it was later clarified, the media didn't care about that.

This wave, this wave is the rekindling of old love, Xiao Pang 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.

But in fact, the day Xiaopang joined the company was uneventful. He only met Hu Jing the next day and called her "Sister Jing" honestly and obediently.

Hu Jing has long known about Xiaopang's signing, and also understands that she is likely to be the first sister of Fanxing in the future, so her psychological change has not been 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 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 ideas in their minds.

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 spot of the company's female stars as her own. .

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuanyuan would be indifferent to the sudden appearance of the fat boy.

It's not like Yang Xue and Dong Xuan don't have any opinions. At least they are 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 is still in school, Xiaopang has been vaguely targeted by other actresses as soon as he entered the company.

Xiaopang is very indifferent. No matter how difficult it is to deal with, it is still difficult 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 the little fat guy who had played the hell-level dungeon, they were like chickens and dogs, and they were nothing to be afraid of.

Hu Jing watched the show silently. No matter how good Gao Yuanyuan or the others are, they are not the masters who can be swept away casually. No matter what they do, it will involve some of Xiaopang's energy. In addition, in terms of career, I am afraid there is no time to focus on Cao Xuan. .

However, she did not underestimate the enemy. She knew Cao Daguan. He was chubby with peach blossom eyes, fox face, and snow-skinned skin. He fit well with someone's aesthetics, so she had to be on guard at all times.

Thinking of this, she casually sent a new text message to the number marked [.]: Level 1 alert (potential to upgrade to special level)...

Cao Xuan doesn't know about the undercurrents among the female artists in the company, and 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 Xiaopang, the new first sister.

There must be no shortage of fashion resources, which is also the key to Xiaopang's success in the industry.

There are also commercial activities, which are Xiaopang’s weapon and Fanxing’s important future income, which should not be underestimated.

The number of scandals should be reduced, and at least those bad scandals should be avoided, which is 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 we should make a distinction in this regard.

Of course, if the scandal is suppressed, it will definitely affect Xiaopang's overall exposure, which requires works to make up for it, which is Fanxing's specialty.

In the future, Little Fatty 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, Xiaopang's acting skills are not bad, at least above the average level. Her works are not without merit, but what they lack are influential and national works, and impressive roles.

Although 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 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 sidelined 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 in art, but she should at least have some film and television works that can be produced.

As mentioned before, Xiao Pang has a pure and beautiful temperament. He can play the role of a white flower and control a femme fatale. He has a strong and straightforward temper. He is also very suitable for chick movies. Generally speaking, his acting career is quite wide.

Xiaopang has recently joined Fanxing, and he is going after the first sister, so he will definitely give her the first blow and support her as much as possible to rise to the top.

Cao Xuan thought about it for a while and realized that workplace dramas are now too advanced and domestic audiences may not be able to accept them.

Light comedies are not suitable, and they conflict with Hu Jing's genre. Xiaopang, the heroine of a serious drama, can't support it. Idol dramas are okay, but there is no way to highlight the heroine to the greatest extent.

Therefore, Cao Xuan prefers to let Xiao Pang play the lead role of a traditional heroine.

He was first thinking about the origin of the palace drama "Golden Branch Desire", 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 is still one of the peak works of palace fighting. The heroine has more growth potential and a more likable personality. It is set in the Tang Dynasty and has better costumes than the Qing Dynasty's "The Golden Branch". Bold and good looking.

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 the filming may have started 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 show puts aside some of its silly flaws, it can actually be regarded as the pinnacle of Dead Girl, with high ratings and influence.

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" will no longer work, and the follow-up mainly focuses on two dramas: "The Palace's Scheming" and "The Beauty's Scheming", and Cao Xuan is more inclined to 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 surrounding 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 they continue to expand in the future, they will get the land first.

Now Fanxing Film and Television City has begun design and planning. The first batch is mainly 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 ancient market street scenes, namely Qinhan Street, Sui and Tang Streets, Song Street, Ming Street, Qing Street, Republic of China Street and Times Street, 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. They can enjoy every street and scenery, take photos, play, eat, etc., and do 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 will 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, 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're so lucky...

………

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 Xiaopang's joining Fanxing was instantly suppressed. Compared with the departure of a generation of superstars, let alone changing jobs, even if the two companies of Fanxing Huayi were really at odds, they would have to move aside.

Because of the special way of his death, and 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 in front of the media several times.

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 is really not that good, but it's not sad. Cao Xuan's heart is a bit bitter, maybe more of regret and pity.

Cao Xuan did not go to Xiangjiang to pay homage, but he had elegiac couplets and wreaths specially made to express his condolences at roadside memorials and funerals.

In mid-April, the relevant situation was not optimistic.

For the sake of safety, Cao Xuan went through the original plan and brought Hu Jing and Zeng Li to [Caojia Hutong] in Shichahai.

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 be hungry and sleep in cold beds...

There will be a little less update today, I will write more tomorrow
