In the room that was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard, the buzzing sound of mobile phones vibrating echoed around.
Soon, a hand as delicate as a lotus root stretched out from the quilt. Yang Mi turned over and handed it over obediently.
"Hoo~"
Lu Fei blew out a smoke ring, and the anger accumulated in the gold battle with Goldman Sachs was ignited as soon as it touched Chai Huo Niu'er.
However, the anger was not vented enough.
He answered the call with one hand, pulled Yang Mi's hair with the other, and just gave her a look. After getting the hint, she didn't hesitate for long, bent down, and raised her ears to eavesdrop.
"Oh, Mr. Wang, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Mr. Lu, I want to ask you something. Is it inconvenient?" Wang Zhongjun did not dare to speak loudly and was careful to test.
"go ahead."
"Did Sister Hua say she wanted to join you and Mr. Gao?"
"It seems like this is happening. Why, you can't bear to part with it?"
Lu Fei pretended to be a fool and refused Wang Jinghua without saying anything.
Wang Zhongjun's heart skipped a beat, "No way, if you and Mr. Gao are willing, Sister Hua is also willing to go. I won't even frown, but can I ask you a favor?"
"Say it, I'm listening."
Lu Fei looked at the quilt, which was like waves, rising and falling.
"Sister Hua is free to go to your place. We don't care, but many of her artists still have contracts with Huayi."
Wang Zhongjun fell into silence for a while when he heard the call. His whole heart was hanging, not going up or down, and was pounding wildly.
"Well, go on."
Lu Fei smacked his lips and lifted the quilt.
Wang Zhongjun said weakly: "Of course, they insist on following Sister Hua, and we can't stop them, but can you leave a few for Hua Yi? Aren't you angry?"
Yang Mi secretly raised her head and looked at the looming face in the smoke. The more she came into contact with him, the more his power made her fall into a blind spot of knowledge, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Thinking of this, my eyes are misty and my thoughts are wandering.
Lu Fei sat back and leaned on the bedside, "Are you sure this is what you want me to do?"
"Yeah, but you're not giving me face. I'm a fool. I just want to ask you to give Hua Yi a convenience."
Wang Zhongjun had already prepared for the worst. Even if Huayi was really empty, he could only swallow his anger in his stomach. He couldn't even offend Han Sanping from China Film Group, so how could he dare to offend this Tai Sui God.
I just want the boss to have a high vision and not look down on me.
"We are friends, okay, since you said so, I'll help you to the end!"
Lu Fei readily agreed, knowing that Wang Jinghua and her artist Hantang had no intention of accepting the offer, but they still pretended to be giving Wang Zhongjun face and doing him a huge favor.
"Really? Hey, thank you, Mr. Lu!"
He was very surprised, and his words were filled with gratitude.
It's a big favor in vain, this is the information gap.
Lu Fei put out his cigarette in the ashtray, grinned and said, "Don't be too happy too early. If I don't accept it, and if you don't keep it, it will be a free advantage for Cheng Tian. That won't work either. There seems to be a Hong Kong gang behind Cheng Tian." Let the three capital companies in Taiwan and Japan be your backers.”
"You have many ideas, come up with an idea."
"Ask Sister Hua, are you willing to set up a full-time brokerage company? I can invest!"
Lu Fei told the truth that the nanny-style brokerage that Wang Jinghua is good at is actually similar to CAA, and it is completely possible to implement the 2.0 brokerage model with China Entertainment's characteristics.
It is equivalent to splitting Wang Jinghua's independent kingdom from Huayi. The new company is divided into countless groups, and each group is led by an agent. The stars are divided into parts and assigned to each group. They take over the work, position themselves, and provide a package. Dragon Professional Services.
"Mr. Lu wants us to vote as well?"
Wang Zhongjun was shaken in his heart, "Why the hell do I still have to invest in my people? Isn't this repaying evil with kindness!"
"If you divest yourself, at least you can still have a good relationship with Huayi, and keep a thin line as a human being so that we can meet each other easily in the future. It won't be beautiful if you force someone to be with an outsider."
Lu Fei has the style of a talkative person in the domestic entertainment industry. He will never allow the unhealthy tendencies of the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles to spread, and he will not allow the "sissy" culture of Xu Ri Entertainment to penetrate. If capital dares to plant its flag, it will pull it down.
Chengtian is the first, but it will not be the last.
He uses a tone that is almost like that of a big brother, and is impartial. You can invest in Wang Jinghua, but you are also willing to suffer some hidden losses and invest in Huayi.
When Wang Zhongjun heard about "investment", he immediately stopped objecting: "Mr. Lu, Huayi will accept the investment in Sister Hua. You don't need to worry about it. Let's talk about it and she will definitely agree."
"Okay, it's settled. By the way, I told Sister Hua that there is a character in "Painted Skin" and I think Hu Jun is quite suitable."
Lu Fei hung up the phone and breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Well."
Yang Mi's eyes widened and she was forced to swallow.
The amount is large, the tube is full, and I choke.
"There is also a role for you."
Once Lu Fei's anger was vented, he suddenly felt dull.
"Thank you, senior, for your cultivation."
Yang Mi licked her lips, her eyes blurred, and she was surprised with a hint of complicated emotions that she couldn't explain.
Lu Fei accepted her after-sales service, "Hey, the company's cultivation and personal performance are all your own efforts."
"I will work hard in the future, senior. I know that senior is under great pressure and must be very angry."
Yang Mi lifted her hair, her eyes were seductive, and her obedient expression was mixed with a bit of shrewdness.
You are so beautiful, but you want to cheat me with food and drink again!
Lu Fei put on his clothes and pulled up his trousers. He always spoke forcefully, threw the key card in his pocket on the bed, and left without looking back.
"Hmph~"
Yang Mi stared blankly, and out of the corner of her eye she saw a touch of red on the white sheets, her cheeks flushed, she endured the pain and crawled to the bedside, hugging the pillow still stained with his scent with one hand, and turning on the TV with the remote control .
In the screen——
"A few days ago, the news of Wang Jinghua's departure spread. It is reported that it is a foregone conclusion. It was not a temporary move, but conflicts and struggles among the management continued for two consecutive years, which ultimately caused such a large-scale shock."
"A reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily contacted celebrities such as Li Shuangbing and Fan Erbing. They said they had just learned about Sister Hua's departure because their contract with Huayi had not expired. Whether they would change jobs together would depend on the development of the situation."
"At 9 o'clock today, during an interview, Huayi artist Xia Yu suddenly changed his tune and said that his original contract was signed with Wang Jinghua, and most of the artists signed with Sister Hua. She has great prestige in everyone's hearts. Gao, we are all willing to follow her."
"In response to this matter, the reporter contacted Hu Jun, Zhou Yun and others by phone. Their attitude was also unclear and they refused to elaborate."
"..."
The deal is done, and it is doomed that many celebrities in Huayi will change jobs. This earthquake in the entertainment industry is still going on, and more and more people are paying close attention to it.
The scorching heat in August makes people feel drowsy.
In Chengtian's office, Wu Kebo enjoyed the cool air-conditioning, and could not help but feel refreshed with the frequent good news these days.
Every day when I open my eyes, I hope it’s the day when it’s officially announced that Wang Jinghua will join.
"Director Chen, money is available at Chengtian, and artists will be available at Chengtian soon. You should have been watching the news. I wonder how you have considered it after so many days?"
Wu Kebo smiled broadly and was extremely polite to Chen Guofu on the other end of the phone. After all, he had worked alongside Hou Hsiao-hsien and Edward Yang, was very popular in the Bay Area film industry, and had deep connections in Hong Kong.
If you get it, you can let Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers use it for him.
We have capital, directors, and actors. It is only a matter of time before we surpass Han and Tang Dynasties and Huayi!
Chen Guofu said: "Mr. Wu, thank you for your kindness, but I have decided to be the production director of Han and Tang. I'm sorry, don't call me for the time being. I'm afraid that Mr. Lu and Mr. Gao will misunderstand."
"What? Director Chen, don't hang up the phone yet..."
Wu Kebo looked confused. How could he be intercepted by the Han and Tang Dynasties after being so ignorant?
At this moment, someone knocked on the door suddenly.
"Come in!"
As the door opened, the little secretary came to the table with high heels and reported: "Mr. Wu, Sister Hua sent a fax. Please take a look."
"Well, leave it alone."
After she left, Wu Kebo considered his words and planned to offer a higher bargaining chip. He must let Hong Kong and Taiwan directors such as Chen Guofu and Chen Jiashang join Chengtian to make it bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
But when I saw the fax, I glanced at it briefly, and my face suddenly sank, and I saw that the content actually read -
Sorry, Mr. Wu, it’s impossible to work part-time. It’s impossible to work part-time in this life. I want to open my own agency!
Hantang and Huayi agreed to take shares. Does Chengtian want to take a share?
"It's the Han and Tang Dynasties again? Why is it always like this? Damn it!"
Wu Kebo's smile froze and his face was livid, and then there was a sound of objects being thrown in the office, which could be heard clearly even on the phone.
Click, "Dudu" came from the microphone.
"Did you hear that? Chengtian is out of luck."
Chen Guofu put down the phone, shook his head and laughed.
Chen Jiashang sighed repeatedly: "I didn't expect him to actually do it. How can he kill a chicken with a bull's knife? He is more domineering than Mr. Liu (Shao Yifu)."
"That's wrong, I just raised my finger."
Chen Guofu moved his little finger, "In the past, we had to abide by other people's rules when we were facing overseas markets, especially the Wanwan market. Now, when we are facing the mainland, we naturally have to abide by the rules, especially the rules set by President Lu."
"He's not setting any rules, he's clearly showing off his power."
Chen Jiashang curled his lips, no one in the industry knew that Chengtian had a deep background in Hong Kong circles and was a stronghold of Hong Kong and Taiwan capital.
"Don't forget why we went north, otherwise we would stay in Hong Kong and Taiwan with no money and no future. Well, from now on China Entertainment will definitely be dominated by the mainland."
Chen Guofu adjusted his glasses and saw clearly.
Directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan need capital and resources, and Lu Fei needs money and connections, so why not cooperate with each other?
"But don't forget..."
Chen Jiashang repeatedly reminded that once "Painted Skin" becomes as popular as "The Stone", it will prove that mainland actors can still carry the box office, which will reduce the living space of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
You know, now Hong Kong and Taiwan lead actors, and mainland actors act as supporting actors, just for the sake of selling the film. Once the unwritten rules are broken, it is tantamount to offending the entire Hong Kong circle and becoming a traitor in the circle.
Master Lu's conspiracy is so cruel!
"Hey, don't be so narrow-minded."
Chen Guofu waved his hand, "There is no difference between filming in the mainland and in Wanwan. They are both Chinese lands, and they are all made by Chinese people. What is yours and ours are all Chinese actors!"
"Do you really want to follow Mr. Lu?"
Chen Jiashang was not without surprise. His old friend's thoughts changed so quickly!
"What do you think? Master Xing and Xu Ke both want to move up."
Chen Guofu showed a meaningful smile, just like it was Bangzi's honor to be Ming Dynasty's dog, and not everyone can be Master Lu's dog!
Even the Wang brothers and Wang Jinghua are fighting over each other!
………………
At the same time, Huayi.
"elder brother!"
Wang Zhonglei almost knocked open the office door, holding a few thin pages of paper in his hand, and said: "Sister Hua has responded over there!"
"How to say?"
Wang Zhongjun stood up and said quickly: "Give it to me! I'll see for myself!"
He grabbed the document and read it silently three times carefully. He was excited and surprised and asked, "They really didn't mention any other conditions?"
"No, it seems that Sister Hua doesn't want to quarrel. Of course, Mr. Lu's face is involved. She is willing to give up 45% of the equity for only 15 million."
Wang Zhonglei had a complicated expression.
"Haha, she's not afraid of breaking up, but she's afraid of offending Mr. Lu, offending us, or offending Hua Yi. At most, she won't take on Hua Yi's roles in the future, but she'll offend Mr. Lu, hum!"
The King of Kings pretends to be a tiger and a fox, and is not without pride.
"That's right! Besides, Mr. Lu will soon become our shareholder!"
Wang Zhonglei quickly asked about the details of the equity transfer. Huayi and Taihe jointly established the company in 2000. Taihe invested 13 million, accounting for 45% of the shares, and the two brothers accounted for 55%.
Wang Zhongjun was silent for a long time before making a decision:
"With this financing and the investment from Sister Hua's company, these two pieces of cake will be cut by Mr. Lu. We will eat as much as he cuts for us. That's your reply."
Clearly, whatever Master Lu has given me is a gift to me!
Wang Zhonglei thought it was reasonable and resigned. In the huge office, only Wang Zhongjun was left sitting silently alone, with deep emotion in his heart.
Including the last meeting with Chen Jinfei and Liu Yifei, he owed Mr. Lu three huge favors. He didn't mention it, but he had to keep it in mind.
There is only one master in the Beijing circle, and that is Master Lu.
China Entertainment only has one godfather, and that is Mr. Lu!
"Yesterday, Huayi's former manager Wang Jinghua denied the cooperation with Chengtian, saying that he would not bring his artists to join, but would set up his own business and establish the country's first full-time agency - Yanjing Shiba Cultural Agency Co., Ltd. company."
"It's a good reunion and a good separation. Wang Jinghua and the Wang brothers broke up peacefully. The new company received investments of 9 million and 4 million from Hantang and Huayi, accounting for 31.15% and 13.85% of the shares, breaking the rumors of discord."
"..."
Huayi lost a group of powerful actors, was completely hollowed out, and the morale of the army was in chaos. On this occasion, the "Chinese Buffett" Lu stock god unexpectedly entered the scene, and the situation was reversed in an instant, and the floating people's hearts were immediately stabilized.
Fan Erbing, Li Shuangbing and other "Wang Jinghua's direct descendants" actors have spoken out and chosen to stay. Within half a day, Huayi not only got rid of the crisis, but also got a blessing in disguise——
Because of the optimism of Lu Stock God, it is favored by the capital market.
The dazzling operation shocked everyone inside and outside the circle for a whole year.
When most people haven't figured it out yet, the whole turmoil is like a gust of wind, coming and going in a hurry, and it ends like this.
"It's Lu Fei again, why is it always him!"
Liu Qing stayed in the ward. The gossip magazine in his hand was fixed on the news of Lu Fei's investment in Huayi, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Qingqing, stop looking at these things."
When Liu Chuanzhi heard the word "Lu Fei", he felt bad. This time he shorted gold. Not only did he lose 5 million US dollars, but he also lost more than 1 million, and even almost caused him a stroke.
Hold on for a moment, the more you think about it, the angrier you will get.
"Dad, isn't Wang Zhongjun from your Taishan Society?"
Liu Qing asked in confusion: "Why don't you ask for help instead of asking Lu and him?"
"Humph, Wang Zhongjun is still in the observation period."
Liu Chuanzhi snorted coldly, "I don't know who Lu Yun recommended, he's so ignorant!"
"Dad, don't be angry. The doctor said you can't get angry now." Liu Qing glanced at the ECG monitor and quickly comforted him in shock.
"Hoo~"
Liu Chuanzhi took a few deep breaths, and suddenly there was a sound of trivial footsteps in the corridor outside the house. Then the bodyguard walked in with a strange expression and reported truthfully:
"Mr. Liu, someone is coming to visit you outside."
"who is it?"
"Then, that Mr. Lu Feilu."
"What?! What is he doing here!"
Liu Chuanzhi's eyelids blinked rapidly, and his whole body trembled with coldness.
The electrocardiogram monitor showed wave peaks one after another, the hr value was getting higher and higher, and it made a beeping sound.
