Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

In a very high-end restaurant in Yanjing, a tight-fitting man wearing sunglasses walked in.

If it were wrapped like this in other seasons, it would definitely attract a lot of people's attention. However, it is very cold in Yanjing in this winter. Although the heater is on in the restaurant, it is very cold when you go out, so it doesn't matter if you wear thicker clothes.

Opening the sliding door of a private room, there was already a man and a woman sitting inside. The man and woman were both celebrities. The man was Chen Kun, who had starred in "The Family" two years ago, and the woman was Zhao Buffett.

Of course, Buffett Zhao is not Buffett yet. She is still a top first-line female star in the industry. The stock trading industry has not yet entered her life.

The person who came in tightly wrapped up took off his coat and said while taking it off: "Why are the two big stars so free to treat me to dinner today? This made me so excited that I didn't even eat lunch, just waiting for this one in the evening.

Here it is."

Take off your clothes to sell sales, sit down with a smile and don’t forget to talk nonsense.

Everyone knows that Huang Xiaoliang and Zhao Buffett are classmates, but they are also classmates with Chen Kun. Some people know it, and some people are not so familiar with it.

All three of them are members of the 1996 Beijing Film Academy Star Class, and among the current 23 students, all of them have acted in movies or TV series and are the three most popular stars in the class.

Zhao Buffett is currently the most popular in this class. After all, Princess Huanzhu can be said to have influenced a generation. The character of Xiao Yanzi is enough for her to last a lifetime.

The second most popular one is Chen Kun, currently one of the leading niche actors in the Mainland. Huang Xiaoliang is also slightly less popular than the two of them.

However, since joining Haina's special training class, various film appointments and advertisements have continued. In the past two years, his popularity has caught up with Chen Kun, but there is still a certain gap between him and the national little swallow.

"Hurry up and eat. There is delicious food that won't stop your mouth. The sushi here is good, so hurry up and try it." Zhao Buffett said.

"Then I will just eat and not talk." Huang Xiaoliang said with a smile.

Although when acting, whether he plays a domineering president or some intellectual roles, Huang Xiaoliang always gives people an indescribable sense of stupidity, and his acting skills are questioned by the public. I feel that this person himself is a bit stupid.

But in reality, he is quite smart. It is impossible for someone who is not smart to make so many connections in the industry and have so many positive reviews.

In fact, except for the roles of domineering presidents and smart-alecks, Huang Xiaoliang's acting skills are also passable simply from the perspective of playing some rustic or down-to-earth roles.

It's just that it's obviously suitable for a rustic role, but I have to play a domineering president and a wise strategist. It felt very inconsistent and criticized me constantly.

"General our army, right?" Zhao Buffett glared at his big eyes.

Today I asked Huang Xiaoliang to go out alone to talk about something. How can we talk if we don’t talk?

"How dare I, how dare I, how can I still hang out in the class after offending you? No, I can't even hang around in this circle." Huang Xiaoliang clasped his hands together and kept apologizing.

Zhao Buffett snorted, with an expression as if he was guessing, and Chen Kun next to him laughed.

"Okay, you two, please stop making trouble. Let me handle this matter. Xiaoliang is like this. Mr. Wang is very optimistic about you and wants you to join Huayi. Let us come to you to build a relationship.

"Chen Kun said.

The three of them are classmates who have a very good relationship. In addition, the three of them are the most popular in the class now, forming a small group. This makes the relationship between the three of them even closer.

However, this is only the current relationship. Later, the relationship between Huang Xiaoliang and Zhao Buffett was not bad both in front of and behind the scenes. Zhao Buffett also led Huang Xiaoliang to stock trading.

Chen Kun gradually distanced himself from them. Although he still retained his friendship as a classmate in the end, it was difficult to see the connection between Chen Kun and the two of them.

At the same time, later on, whether it was the reputation of his work or the audience's evaluation of his acting skills, Chen Kun seemed to be out of the ordinary. On the surface, it doesn't matter at all.

"I've heard about Huayi's affairs. I also know about the praise that I can get in the past. I even know about liquidated damages and future dramas. I also know that Mr. Da Wang and Mr. Xiao Wang can make arrangements.

.

But Brother Chen, I really can’t answer this, or I can just say it bluntly. I have no plans to leave Haina at the moment. Indeed, Haina has a lot of people coming out of the special training class.

Sometimes you have to take the initiative to look for roles or advertisements. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are more prospects in Haina than in Huayi, isn't it?" Huang Xiaoliang said with a frank look.

It can be seen from his words that he is smart and does not look stupid at all like he does when acting.

"Then have you calculated how many years you have to endure? Even if an actor is not a young actor, his acting skills will become more popular as he gets older. But no matter how good the prospects are, in the end he doesn't get promoted, what's the use of the prospects?" Zhao Buffett said.

There was a moment of silence in the private room.

This is also the fact before us. Haina is indeed very wealthy. Looking at Asia and even the entire world, it is the most prestigious entertainment company in China.

But the company has great prospects and there are many qualified people.

Although Yang Dongxu is currently engaged in the platform economy, he is not a celebrity manager. But the platform is so good that he can easily recruit big names and many newcomers worth cultivating.

Not to mention the earlier batch of big names in Hong Kong like Hua Tsai, in the past few years, whether it is SHE promoted by the record department, or the grassroots singers on the YY Music Chart created by YY.

Or maybe the film and television department is holding up the four major celebrities from Mainland China. It can be said that Haina has a lot of talents under his command.

Huang Xiaoliang can only be regarded as one of the more outstanding ones in the special training class, but the special training class is all carefully selected by Yang Dongxu, which one is not outstanding?

In the past two years, because there have been no good film projects, Heiner has been slowing down the number of films produced. At the same time, his main focus is still on building a platform rather than cultivating artists.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The general direction of Hainer's development has always been to create an awesome platform for himself, and the celebrities are vying to perform on this platform.

As for cultivating some big names to give them a platform, that is a development strategy placed on the second echelon. Therefore, in terms of artist training, although Hainer is also very good.

But there is no entertainment company like Huayi that puts all its efforts into the artists. All kinds of film appointment advertisements are thrown at the artists to restore their fame and worth, and they look extremely glamorous on the surface.

For example, Huang Xiaoliang can only be regarded as one of the second-tier artists in Haina now, and he can't even compete with the first-tier artists. But if he goes to Huayi, he will have the resources of the first brother.

"The problem you mentioned does exist. But it's not that I don't have opportunities. The company has been giving opportunities, but the selection of roles is a bit harsh and the number is small. And... I really left Haina. What do you think?

Can I really get along in the industry?" Huang Xiaoliang asked rhetorically.

Both Chen Kun and Zhao Buffett were a little silent.

Haina is not an artist who has not been poached. From being a pillar he cultivated at the beginning, to wanting to go solo in the past two years, or being terminated by big names in Hong Kong, these things have always happened.

Regardless of whether the two parties declared a peaceful breakup after the contract was terminated, the actors paid liquidated damages, and Heiner no longer cared about everyone getting together and breaking up.

Even within the industry, we have never heard that Haina wants to ban an artist who changes jobs and terminates his contract. But after leaving Haina, it is true that he is isolated by Haina's resources and artists.

After all, although there are no clear regulations above, you have already left Haina, and I have such a good relationship with you. What will the senior management of Haina think when they see this? I also have thoughts of leaving Haina?

As for being isolated by Haina's resources, it's easier to understand. You have left Haina. Whether Haina is filming or planning a movie, he naturally prefers his own people. You have left, and Haina is still kneeling.

Lick you?

So even if there is no obvious target, and no one is banned, it just excludes you from the options. This makes many resources of an artist shrink rapidly.

After all, the resources that Haina possesses in the Chinese entertainment market occupy a market that is too large, and these small artists cannot compete even if they move slightly.

"The welfare package is three times that of Haina, and Huayi will pay liquidated damages. At the same time, there will be two movies in three years, one of which has a minimum of 50 million yuan. This can be written into the contract. The resources are much higher than this.

The film contract and advertising share will be based on the highest level A-level contract." After a moment of silence, Buffett said directly.

Before coming here, she originally wanted to talk about it through her classmate relationship, but seeing Huang Xiaoliang's attitude, she thought it would be better to make things clear.

Huang Xiaoliang is interested in such a generous offer, so he will sign with Huayi. If not, just think that today is just a simple class reunion for a meal, and we will still be classmates and friends from now on.

"One more thing, in addition to Mr. Xiao Wang asking us to come to you because we are classmates, Huayi is also in contact with other Haina artists."

Although this was not said directly, the meaning was clearly expressed. If you don’t sign now, if you sign in the future, you may not have this condition.

"I know, I understand this. Besides, we are all classmates, so you probably feel that this condition is very generous to me, so you asked me to come over and talk about it. If it were anyone else, who would pay attention to me?"

Huang Xiaoming clasped his hands to express his gratitude, which relieved the somewhat stiff atmosphere.

However, after taking a bite of sushi, Huang Xiaoliang had a curious look on his face, "Is it okay for Huayi to have such contact with Haina's artists?"

Chen Kun and Zhao Buffett were both stunned by this question.

"Maybe we just need to choose a few relatively high-quality ones to prop up the platform. Sister Wang took so many people away, and there are not many people to support the platform. I guess the platform will really fall down.

That's why Mr. Xiao Wang has offered such good conditions and is ready to cut through the mess quickly. The number of real contacts is probably not too much." Chen Kun pondered for a moment and said.

Huang Xiaoliang and Zhao Buffett couldn't help but nodded.

Recruiting a few second-tier stars to go to the platform and support them first is a first-aid measure that is in line with the situation Huayi is facing now.

If you just want to recruit a few people to help out, based on Haina's usual approach, as long as the attitude and compensation are in place, he is basically too lazy to take any action.

But the large-scale contact of artists from the coast is ready to hollow out Haina... The Wang brothers probably are not so unreasonable as to seek death.

"Then it will just be a few male artists." Huang Xiaoming guessed.

Chen Kun and Zhao Buffett pondered for a moment and nodded. Zhao Buffett said, "It's probably mostly male artists."

Now Huayi not only has Zhao Buffett but also Li Binbin. Although Wang Jinghua, who was Li Binbin’s agent, wanted to open a brokerage company, it was Li Binbin who helped Wang Jinghua join Huayi.

However, this time Wang Jinghua left Li Binbin and did not leave with her. In order to stabilize this person, Mr. Wang probably won't make much move to poach roles for female artists.

On the other hand, on the male artist side, although Ren Quan cannot take the lead, he needs a few people to step up. As for Chen Kun, he has been entrusted as a lobbyist this time.

But he is not an artist from Huayi. He just signed a record management contract with Huayi. In terms of film and television, he is in another management company. This time he was pulled to the platform purely because of his classmate relationship.

—————

"It's fine if you contact me. No matter whether I sign or not in the end, I won't talk too much. For others, don't be a matchmaker. If Mr. Wang has any requests that you can refuse, just refuse." He lowered his head and ate.

Huang Xiaoliang suddenly said.

"What?" Chen Kun and Zhao Buffett were both stunned.

"Although Hainer has his own pace and has not followed the artist management route that is most familiar in the industry today, it is never pleasant to be poached.

If my big boss gets angry, with Huayi's current situation, I'm afraid that it will affect both of you." Huang Xiaoliang said very sincerely.

Zhao Buffett's expression changed, and Chen Kun nodded thoughtfully.

Hainer is the most outlier in the industry who sticks to the rules and follows the contract, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own temper if he follows the contract.

If Mr. Yang is unhappy and sneezes...
