Chapter 1472 Huayi in Action

A very high-end restaurant in Yanjing, a person wearing sunglasses and wrapped tightly walked in.

If it was in other seasons, it would definitely attract a lot of attention if he was wrapped like this. But now it is very cold in Yanjing in the winter. Although the restaurant has heating on, it is very cold when you go out, so it’s okay to wear thicker clothes.

Opening the sliding door of a private room, a man and a woman are already sitting inside. The man and the woman are both stars. The man is Chen Kun, who became famous two years ago with "The Golden Age", and the woman is Zhao Buffett.

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

The person who came in tightly wrapped took off her coat and said as she took it off: "How come the two big stars are so free to treat me to dinner today? I am so excited that I didn’t even eat lunch. I am just waiting for this meal in the evening."

Take off your clothes to change sales and sit down with a smile, not forgetting to talk nonsense.

Huang Xiaoliang and Zhao Buffett are classmates, which is something everyone knows, but some people are not so familiar with him as Chen Kun.

All three of them are members of the 1996 star class of Beijing Film Academy, and they are the three most popular stars in this class of 23 students, all of whom have acted in movies or TV series.

Zhao Buffett is currently the most popular in this class. After all, Princess Huanzhu can be said to have influenced a generation, and the character of Xiaoyanzi is enough for her to live on for a lifetime.

The second most popular is Chen Kun, who is currently one of the leading young actors in the mainland. Huang Xiaoliang's popularity is also a little worse than the two.

However, since entering the special training class of Haina, various film contracts and advertisements have continued. In the past two years, his popularity has caught up with Chen Kun, but there is still a certain gap from the national Xiaoyanzi.

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

"Then I will only 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 gives people an indescribable sense of stupidity, and his acting skills are questioned by the public. It feels like this person is a bit stupid.

But in reality, he is quite smart. It is impossible for an unintelligent person to make so many connections in the circle and receive so many praises.

In fact, apart from the roles of overbearing presidents and self-righteous roles, Huang Xiaoliang's acting skills are also acceptable simply from the perspective of playing some rustic or down-to-earth roles.

It's just that he is obviously suitable for rustic roles, but he has to play roles such as overbearing presidents and wise military advisors, which makes people feel very inconsistent and criticized.

"You want to attack my army, right?" Zhao Buffett glared at his big eyes.

Today, I asked Huang Xiaoliang out alone to talk about things. How can I talk without talking?

"How dare I, how dare I, if I offend you, how can I get along in the class in the future? No, I can't even get along in this circle." Huang Xiaoliang put his hands together and apologized continuously.

Zhao Buffett snorted, with an expression of knowing what to do, and Chen Kun next to him laughed.

"Okay, stop making trouble. Let me tell you about this. Xiaoliang, it's 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 with very good relationships. In addition, there are only three of them who are the most popular in the class, forming a small group. This makes the relationship between the three of them closer.

However, this is only the current relationship. Later, Huang Xiaoliang and Zhao Buffett had a good relationship both in front of and behind the scenes. Zhao Buffett also took Huang Xiaoliang to stock trading.

Chen Kun's relationship with them gradually drifted away. In the end, although they still retained their friendship as classmates, it was hard to see what kind of connection Chen Kun had with the two of them on the surface.

At the same time, whether it was the reputation of the works or the audience's evaluation of acting skills, Chen Kun seemed to be more than two levels higher, and on the surface, there was even less relationship.

"I've heard about Huayi. I also know about the support that I can get if I go there now, and even about the liquidated damages and future acting jobs. I also know that both Mr. Wang and Mr. Xiao can make arrangements.

But Brother Chen, I really can't give you an answer for this, or I'll just say it straight. I have no plans to leave Haina at the moment. It's true that there are many people coming out of Haina's special training class now.

Sometimes you need to take the initiative to find acting jobs or advertisements. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Haina has more prospects than Huayi, right?" Huang Xiaoliang said frankly.

From what he said, it can be seen that he is smart, and he doesn't look silly at all when he's acting.

"Have you ever calculated how many years you have to endure? Even if male actors don't rely on youth, their acting skills become more popular as they age. But no matter how good the prospects are, if they don't get promoted in the end, what's the point of the prospects?" Zhao Buffett said.

There was a moment of silence in the private room.

This is also the fact in front of us. Haina is indeed rich and powerful. Looking at Asia, and even the whole world, it is the most prestigious entertainment company in China.

But the company has a good future and can recruit many people.

Don’t think that Yang Dongxu is now engaged in platform economy and not a star agent. But the platform is too good, and he can easily sign big names and many newcomers worth cultivating.

Not to mention the early batch of Hong Kong superstars like Andy Lau, in the past few years alone, whether it is SHE promoted by the record department or the grassroots singers on the YY Music Chart created in conjunction with YY.

Or maybe the film and television department is holding up the four major celebrities from the Mainland. It can be said that there are many talents under Hainer.

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, Hainer 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.

The general direction of Haina's development has always been to create a great platform for himself, and celebrities and big names are vying to perform on this platform.

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

But there is no such effort as entertainment companies like Huayi. Various advertisements for film appointments are thrown at the artists to increase their fame and worth, making them 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 this is going to Huayi, then he is a good resource.

"The problem you mentioned does exist. But it's not that I don't have opportunities here. 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. Do you think I am really good in the industry? Can you get away with it?" Huang Xiaoliang asked.

Chen Kun and Zhao Buffett were both 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, and the actor paid the liquidated damages, Heiner will no longer care about everyone getting together and breaking up.

Even people in the industry had never heard that Hainer was going to ban the artist who quit his job and terminated his contract. But after leaving Haina, it was real that I was isolated by Haina's resources and artists.

After all, although there is no clear stipulation above, you have left Haina and I have such a good relationship with you. What will Haina’s senior management think when they see this? Do I also have thoughts of leaving Haina?

As for being isolated by Haina's resources, it's better to understand. You have left Haina. Whether Haina is filming or setting up a movie project, he naturally prefers his own people. You have left, and Haina is still kneeling. Licking you?

So even if there is no obvious target, and there is no words to block anyone, it just excludes you from the options. This causes a lot of resources for an artist to 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 a little bit.

"The welfare package is three times that of Haina, and Huayi will pay the 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 more than this. The film contract and advertising share will be based on the highest level A-level contract," Zhao Buffett said directly after a moment of silence.

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 was attracted by such a generous offer, so he signed with Huayi. If you don't feel tempted, just think that today is just a simple class reunion for a meal. From now on, we will still be classmates and friends.

"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, you may not have this condition if you sign in the future.

"I know, I understand this. Besides, we are all classmates. 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.

But 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 high-quality ones to prop up the stage. Sister Wang took so many people away, and there are not many people who can support the stage. I guess the stage will really fall down.

That's why Mr. Xiao Wang offered such good conditions and prepared to cut the knot quickly. The number of real contacts is unlikely to be too high. "Chen Kun pondered for a moment and said.

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

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

But just 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 basically doesn't bother to deal with it.

But the artists who came into contact with the coast on a large scale were ready to hollow out the sea. The Wang brothers probably were 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 mainly 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.

But this time Wang Jinghua left Li Binbin and did not follow him. In order to keep this person stable, Mr. Wang probably won't make much move in poaching roles for female artists.

On the other hand, for male artists, although Ren Quan cannot take the lead, he needs several people to take over. As for Chen Kun, although he was commissioned to be a lobbyist this time.

But he is not an artist of Huayi, he just signed a record agency contract with Huayi. His old line of business is in another agency, and this time he was pulled here purely because of his classmate relationship.

"Forget about you contacting me. Whether the contract is signed in the end or not, I won't say anything. For others, don't be a matchmaker. If there is any request from Mr. Wang, just refuse it if you can." Huang Xiaoliang, who was eating with his head down, suddenly spoke.

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

"Although Haina has its own pace and did not follow the most familiar artist operation route in the circle. But being poached is never a happy thing.

If my big boss gets angry, I'm afraid that you two will be implicated at that time, given Huayi's current situation." Huang Xiaoliang said very sincerely.

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

Haina is the most disciplined person in the industry who follows the contract in everything, but that doesn't mean he has no temper just because he follows the contract.

What if Young Master Yang sneezes when he's unhappy?
