From the eyes of the middle-aged woman sitting with Fan Bingbing, Zhang Chu could see the shrewdness that could not be concealed.
But it's not annoying, as if she was meant to be.
"Zhang Chu, do you mind if you call me by your first name?"
The woman's name is Wang Jinghua, and she is now Fan Bingbing's manager.
Zhang Chu shook his head. His name was not just for people to call him, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Bingbing told you just now."
While Wang Jinghua was talking, his eyes were still looking at Zhang Chu.
Compared with TV, the image is more outstanding.
Here I have to complain about the makeup artist on the crew of "Huanzhugege".
All the male actors in the play were painted into pale faces.
Even the real rivers and lakes are grassy and green, and they look girly.
A face is the key to success for an actor.
Saying this will definitely lead to a lot of objections, but it is the truth.
When a director is interviewing actors, eye compatibility is very important. How will the director choose between handsome and ugly actors?
The same goes for Wang Jinghua. When choosing artists for his company, his first choice is naturally those with outstanding looks.
In addition to the appearance conditions, Fan Bingbing has told her before that Zhang Chu has starred in three works so far.
In addition to the popular "Returning the Princess", there is also a Gulong martial arts drama and a kung fu film co-produced by Baodao Feiteng Pictures and Heung Kong ATV.
Zhang Chu plays the second male lead in all of them.
Although he has never gone to school and is a wild boy, Zhang Chu has already opened up in the entertainment industry and won the favor of Yuan Heping.
For this alone, Zhang Chu is worthy of Huayi Brothers’ investment in him.
Zhang Chu nodded, although he was not disgusted with this woman named Wang Jinghua. Even sitting face to face, her decent smile made people feel very comfortable.
But Zhang Chu could clearly feel that he didn't want to deal with this woman.
"I've said it before, but... I appreciate Sister Hua's kindness. I'm used to being free and can't be restrained."
Wang Jinghua smiled when he heard this, raised his hand and patted Fan Bingbing's arm gently.
"I knew it was unreliable to entrust such an important matter to this girl. She must not have made it clear."
Zhang Chu looked at it and suddenly understood why Fan Bingbing trusted Wang Jinghua so much and helped her pass the message.
The fondness in Wang Jinghua's eyes when he looked at Fan Bingbing was like a mother looking at her child.
Let alone Fan Bingbing, who is simple-minded, anyone else would probably be completely devoted to him.
It simply captures people's hearts just right.
"It's okay. No matter whether you sign or not, we just treat it as making friends today, but I still need to make my words clear to avoid misunderstanding."
As Wang Jinghua spoke, he took Fan Bingbing's arm again, appearing very intimate.
"Signing a contract does not mean that it restricts you. To be precise, it means that you authorize the company to help you manage your acting career. I can't say how much benefit this will have to you. Generally speaking, it should be a win-win situation. In the end, in addition to your down-to-earth acting, you no longer have to worry about anything else, and the company can also gain some benefits."
The same words coming from Wang Jinghua's mouth will indeed make people feel very comfortable.
"Of course, everyone has their own ideas and can't force it. However, as someone who has experienced it, I still want to give you a suggestion. I heard Bingbing introduce your situation, and I always feel that you haven't used your own advantages yet. If you have someone on the side to give you some advice, you will definitely develop better than you are now.”
Hearing what Wang Jinghua said, Zhang Chu did not deny it.
He also knows the benefits of signing with a company. As long as the other party is willing to invest resources in him, he will definitely become popular faster and earlier.
Let alone others, take Zhao Wei as an example. After "Huan Zhuge Ge" became popular, the company immediately began to praise her.
TV series, movies, albums, various advertising endorsements, variety shows, and frequent exposure have made Zhao Wei more and more famous, and now he seems to be among the first-tier in the country.
If the same resources were thrown at Zhang Chu or Fan Bingbing, they would still be popular.
Therefore, whether an actor can become popular, in addition to his own efforts, the promoters behind him are also very important.
"Sister Hua is right, but it's a pity..."
Zhang Chu finally shook his head. His past experiences made it difficult for him to trust anyone with confidence.
Especially someone he couldn't help but trust.
It was just the first time we met, but there was still some sincerity in it.
Everything is just a show, the only difference is that Wang Jinghua is more clever.
Seeing that Zhang Chu still chose to refuse, Wang Jinghua didn't look too surprised and smiled as always.
"Zhang Chu, you..."
As soon as Fan Bingbing opened his mouth, he was stopped by Wang Jinghua.
"It's okay, it's okay. As I said just now, it's just chatting. If we can't cooperate, we will just be friends, Xiao Zhang. Whenever you encounter trouble in the future, as long as I can help, don't be polite, just speak up."
Wang Jinghua stayed for a while and then left on the pretext of leaving beforehand. Before leaving, he even exchanged contact information with Zhang Chu.
"What's wrong with you?"
As soon as Wang Jinghua left, Fan Bingbing looked like he was going to attack the enemy.
"What a great opportunity, I just let you miss it like this. Do you know that Huayi Brothers is a big company? Does Feng Xiaogang know? Does Jiang Wen know? They are all directors of Huayi, you..."
"It's not over, is it?"
Fan Bingbing was stunned, and his face was filled with grievances.
"I...I'm not doing it for your own good."
Of course, Fan Bingbing also has his own selfish motives.
If Zhang Chu can also sign with Huayi, then they will be in the same school, and they will have more and more contacts in the future.
Fan Bingbing didn't believe it, and he still couldn't defeat Zhang Chu.
Zhang Jingchu and Zhang Chu were neighbors, and she and Zhang Chu became colleagues. Now they were even.
Unfortunately……
"I know you mean well."
Zhang Chu also realized that his tone just now was a little anxious.
"But Wang Jinghua just said that everyone has different ideas."
"You just want to work alone. What will you do now that the film is finished? Are you still waiting for someone to introduce you to the next crew?"
Fan Bingbing's tone still contained a bit of resentment that iron cannot become steel.
"You can't do this. Even though you are famous now because of the role of Xiao Jian, if there are no new works, the audience will soon forget you."
She said it as if she knew better.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about me, you...that Wang Jinghua is pretty good, and it will be good for you to handle the relationship well."
Fan Bingbing snorted: "I'm not stupid, of course I know."
You can trick people before you are stupid.
"Do you know who Sister Hua is?"
How special can it be?
"Sister Hua is the number one agent in domestic entertainment."
Oops...
It sounds really bluffing.
First place again, gold medal again.
I feel that if Bai Xiaosheng had lived until now, Wang Jinghua would be qualified to be on the list.
However, Fan Bingbing's statement is not an exaggeration. Wang Jinghua's experience is indeed worthy of this title.
She was an opera actress by background, but by the time she was able to perform on stage, opera was on the decline. After working for only two years, she quit her job and followed other people's example and went into business.
Unfortunately, luck was still bad. When Wang Jinghua started doing business, countless people in the country were already doing business.
I couldn't become the pig standing in the wind.
But at this time, someone introduced her to a job.
Pu'an Record Company, owner Su Yue, his wife is even more famous, Zhang Jinglin, who played Qingwen in the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Wang Jinghua and Zhang Jinglin were classmates in the folk art class, and it was Zhang Jinglin who introduced this job.
After arriving at Pu'an Records, Wang Jinghua's first job was as a bag-carrying girl. At that time, the company's singer Feng Feng and a pair of twins went out to perform, and she always followed them.
Gradually, Wang Jinghua figured out the ropes and began to help contact people for performances.
I also met many big names in the industry during this process.
Among them is Chen Daoming, who played "The Last Emperor".
It was after listening to Chen Daoming's advice that Wang Jinghua plucked up the courage to leave Pu'an Records and became a full-time manager.
From the beginning, one person was responsible for Chen Zhiming. Later, he was introduced to more and more celebrities. The business continued to expand and the team became larger and larger.
Until the boss of Huayi Brothers took a fancy to it, and directly used one-third of the company's shares to recruit Wang Jinghua and many artists to join.
The reason why Wang Jinghua is trusted by so many artists is naturally because of her ability.
She is like a bole, able to clearly find the strengths of each artist and maximize their advantages.
Secondly, she always insists that her agent is the celebrity's nanny and should be like a housekeeper, taking care of all the big and small things in life.
The focus of the entire work is to revolve around celebrities, like an "old mother", taking every detail into the lives of "children".
But no matter what, the relationship between artists and managers is just a cooperative relationship, and both parties are pursuing profits.
When both parties have a community of interests, they can naturally cooperate closely, but what happens when their interests run counter to each other?
Zhang Chu wanted to remind Fan Bingbing not to foolishly give all his heart to others.
However, looking at her reaction, you can tell that it is all in vain.
"You're lucky, follow me and do well in the future!"
"I know even if you don't tell me, but do you...really don't think about it anymore? I can feel it. At least Sister Hua is different from He Xiuqiong. She is very sincere."
"Forget it! The way I am now is actually pretty good."
Zhang Chu has no shortage of filming, at least not now, so why find someone to take care of him.
Seeing Zhang Chu's firm attitude, Fan Bingbing stopped trying to persuade him, but was just a little unhappy.
"Sooner or later, I'll see how you regret it when you have no more scenes to film."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chu's cell phone on the table rang.
Zhang Chu took a look and saw Yuan Heping's name displayed on the screen.
What did you say just now?
Wait for me to regret it?
Look, this is coming!
