Huayu Entertainment 1995 started with hijacking.

Chapter 343 Traveling a Thousand Miles a Day
A song and a dance became popular during the 2005 Spring Festival Gala.

The song is Andy Lau's "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing You Prosperity), which is so festive and perfectly suited for the Spring Festival!
Listening to this song will instantly evoke a feeling and atmosphere of the approaching Chinese New Year. The opening sounds of firecrackers, suona horns, gongs and drums, and a chorus of people singing can transport listeners into the festive atmosphere within 5 seconds.

Moreover, even if it's not Chinese New Year, who doesn't like to get rich? The auspicious phrase "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing you prosperity) in a song gives people a festive and joyful feeling.

This song will not only be a hit this year, but it will continue to be a hit. It is destined to become a popular song for stores across the country and a truly enduring hit!
Andy Lau is truly riding high right now, with "A World Without Thieves" preceding "Gong Xi Fa Cai" making him the hottest star in recent months.

The dance, "Thousand-Hand Guanyin," performed by the Huaxia Disabled Persons Art Troupe, was exquisitely beautiful by 21 deaf-mute dancers with an average age of 21. The dance created a stunning visual impact with endless variations, as if the Thousand-Hand Guanyin had descended to earth, winning the hearts of audiences across the country and moving them to tears. It truly touched the hearts of all of China.

Later, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin dance was passed down for ten years. Not only in China, but also in major theaters in the United States and Europe, they were invited to perform and won cheers and applause.

Meanwhile, in cinemas, "Crazy Stone," which enjoyed both high box office returns and critical acclaim, also sparked heated discussions. Many reporters wanted to interview Wu Yuchen again. However, Wu Yuchen declined all interviews, giving the opportunity to appear in front of Ning Hao and the "Stone Team."

Ning Hao naturally knew what the reporters wanted to hear. Every time he promoted "Crazy Stone," he would generously talk about all sorts of things between him and Wu Yuchen, especially the stories of him going to Hollywood with Wu Yuchen to learn how to film, which made the reporters very happy.

At this moment, Wu Yuchen ignored the outside noise and was watching the video.

In the scene, on a vast plain beneath snow-capped mountains, a man is playing the strings of a cello. As the deep, soulful music flows, the scene gradually changes, and the withered grass at the man's feet sprouts and turns green, as if it is playing the rhythm of life in sync with the man's music.

Looking at the final product, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

A few days after the Lantern Festival, he led a team to Longwang Mountain to film the early spring scenes, which were then edited into the film. After adding music, the post-production of "Departures" was finally completed.

Speaking of his trip back to China to film "Departures," although the absolute filming time wasn't that long, maybe only two months, the production timeline was quite long due to the season, lasting almost half a year.

Of course, Wu Yuchen was actually quite happy about it. After all, when he was filming "The Pirate King" a couple of years ago, he spent most of the year abroad. This time, he had plenty of time to spend with the people around him.

Now that he has completely settled matters related to "Departures", he has to head back to Hollywood!
Wu Yuchen wasn't alone on his trip to Hollywood; he was accompanied by Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming.

Both of them accompanied him to Hollywood for auditions for "Fast & Furious 3". Fan Bingbing was just there to go through the motions, mainly to get acquainted with the director and producer, while Huang Xiaoming really had to show some talent. Even with Wu Yuchen's recommendation, if he didn't perform well, he couldn't blame Wu Yuchen for not giving him face.

Looking at Huang Xiaoming's noticeably more muscular physique, Wu Yuchen asked with a smile, "Xiaoming, how many pounds have you gained?"

Huang Xiaoming honestly replied, "15 pounds! Our team estimates that this is about the limit; any more and I'll look fat."

Wu Yuchen nodded. It seemed that Huang Xiaoming had been working hard all year, and it was worth it for him to have gotten this opportunity.

Then Wu Yuchen said with a smile, "This time you'll have to tone down your domineering CEO persona. Han's character is generally more stable and reliable, while occasionally revealing a free and unrestrained temperament."

Huang Xiaoming nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Wu. I have watched 'Fast & Furious' and other racing movies many times and made a lot of preparations."

Wu Yuchen nodded and said nothing more.

Huang Xiaoming also saw Fan Bingbing beside Wu Yuchen, and especially her intimate behavior with Wu Yuchen, but he did not show anything unusual.

Having been in the industry for seven years, Huang Xiaoming is no longer the naive newbie he once was; he understands the rules of the entertainment circle very well. Moreover, he has not only lived in mainland China, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan, where his influence is even greater than on the mainland. It's not surprising that actors aspiring to rise to fame would try to climb the social ladder by associating with powerful figures.

Wu Yuchen was Huang Xiaoming's mentor, his boss, and his biggest backer and connection in the industry. Therefore, Huang Xiaoming would never say a bad word about Wu Yuchen. Moreover, if anyone dared to speak ill of Wu Yuchen behind his back, he would confront them directly. His mentor Wu's honor would not be allowed to be smeared!

Looking at the plane in front of him, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Wu, your plane is so beautiful!"

Wu Yuchen chuckled, "There's no other way. I fly all over the world so often, and catching international flights is just too much of a hassle. Owning my own plane gives me a lot more freedom. Xiaoming, if you like, you can buy one someday!"

Huang Xiaoming immediately waved his hand: "Teacher Wu, I'm far from good enough! I'm so lucky to be able to hitch a ride on your private jet!"

Buying Huang Xiaoming luxury cars and watches is no problem now, but a private jet? Forget it! That thing costs hundreds of millions, he simply can't afford it!

At the same time, he was also filled with emotion, thinking that it was still his teacher Wu who was far superior to those rich second-generation kids in Hong Kong who flaunted their luxury cars and yachts!
Fan Bingbing was thrilled as she boarded the brand-new Gulfstream G550. She hadn't made a mistake in choosing the right person. Private jets were something only the super-rich could afford around the world. How many people in China owned private jets these days?!

At the same time, according to Wu Yuchen, she was the first woman to board this private jet, and she beat Sister Qinqin to it this time!
The Gulfstream G550 is a new aircraft launched by Gulfstream Corporation in 2003. It will be a classic model that people will talk about for the next one or two decades. It has been proven over time that even 20 years later, many wealthy people are still using it, and its safety and other aspects are guaranteed.

So when it was launched last year, Wu Yuchen immediately ordered one, and it was only recently delivered to him. He also spent a lot of money to renovate the interior space, and it is now fully equipped with a dining room, kitchen, bathroom, study, wine cabinet, sofa and other facilities.

This Gulfstream G550 cost approximately $5700 million. Wu Yuchen's purchase of this private jet wasn't really about flaunting wealth; frankly, he wants to keep a low profile regarding his assets and doesn't want to appear on any of those rich lists or lists of people who have been exploited.
However, given how frequently he travels around each year, his need for a private jet is indeed quite strong.

Take this year for example. Right now I'm in Hollywood, then in a month or two I'll be leading the team back to China for filming, then to Cannes, and then back to Hollywood again. Filming involves constantly changing locations. Even flying first class wouldn't be as enjoyable, and the schedule is so tight. Naturally, having my own private jet is much more convenient and comfortable. With so much money earned, I naturally have to spend it; otherwise, it's all for nothing!
The truth is, whether or not you own a private jet depends on how often you use it. Some wealthy people are quite rich, but they haven't bought one at all.

Take, for example, Zhou Hongyi, the boss of 360, who had a net worth of tens of billions at his peak. At that time, Wang Sicong posted a status on Weibo, which was about taking his dog on a plane, along with a picture.

At the time, Zhou Hongyi asked Wang Sicong on Weibo if dogs were allowed on airplanes and how he managed it. Did he buy a child's ticket? Wang Sicong replied directly that it was a private jet, which silenced Zhou Hongyi.

It's clear that Zhou Hongyi had never considered that it was a private jet...

Lying on the plane, Wu Yuchen enjoyed the attentive service of several beautiful flight attendants, some massaging his head, others rubbing his feet. Of course, if he wanted to have some in-flight sex, that was fine with him anytime, since this was his private jet, and these flight attendants were essentially his kept women. They probably couldn't wait to have more intimate contact with their big boss!
The flight attendants on the plane were all selected; they were all beautiful and provided excellent service. They were paid to be employed every year and flew around with him. They also had confidentiality agreements signed with him.

Fan Bingbing, watching the flight attendant pressing Wu Yuchen's head down and subtly flirting with him, couldn't help but snort and roll her eyes, thinking to herself, "What a bunch of little sluts!"

However, Fan Bingbing didn't care. It wasn't worth getting involved with those flight attendants. Although they were somewhat pretty, they were far inferior to Fan Bingbing!
She asked Wu Yuchen, "Brother-in-law, have you heard about what happened at Huayi Brothers?"

Wu Yuchen didn't even open his eyes, enjoying the massage with them closed, and asked, "What's up?"

"I heard from Sister Bingbing that Wang Jinghua might be splitting up with Huayi Brothers!"

The "Sister Bingbing" that Fan Bingbing mentioned is naturally Li Bingbing.

In their past lives, the rivalry between Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing was almost public knowledge. But now they're not in the same company and have little competition for resources. Instead, they've become superficial friends, exchanging information from time to time.

"Oh, you're talking about this? I know. Wang Jinghua contacted me before the New Year..."

Hearing Wu Yuchen say this, Fan Bingbing's heart tightened. Wang Jinghua led a large group of artists; if she really left Huayi Brothers and joined Miracle Films, she would inevitably become her competitor. This was not a situation Fan Bingbing wanted to see. She wished Wang Jinghua would stay at Huayi Brothers forever!

Wu Yuchen said with a smile, "She wanted to bring people to join Miracle Films, but I didn't agree."

Miracle Films produces so many films and television series every year, possessing abundant resources, making it a natural fit for Wang Jinghua. Moreover, people naturally strive for better opportunities, and currently, Miracle Films is arguably the only company in China more powerful than Huayi Brothers.

However, Wu Yuchen doesn't want to do artist management business. If he wanted to, he would have started already. So he won't break his previous principles this time.

Fan Bingbing breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing this, knowing that her good days could continue!

Then Fan Bingbing asked Wu Yuchen, "Brother-in-law, do you think Wang Jinghua will break up with Huayi Brothers?"

Wu Yuchen answered without hesitation, "Yes. Huayi Brothers belongs to the Wang brothers, and they can no longer give Wang Jinghua what she wants. Now that Wang Jinghua has many conflicts with the Wang brothers, she will naturally seek another place."

In this respect, there is no right or wrong, it is just a struggle of interests from their own perspectives.

In fact, during the years that Wang Jinghua joined Huayi Brothers, she helped find resources for most of the artists under her management.

In recent years, Huayi Brothers has used many outsiders in the lead roles of its films and television dramas. For example, in "A World Without Thieves," neither the male nor female lead was from Huayi Brothers. This naturally made Wang Jinghua very dissatisfied. From her perspective, it was unreasonable for her company's films not to promote its own artists. Therefore, some conflicts are difficult to resolve.

Wu Yuchen understood the Wang brothers at this point. After all, if someone else had played the male lead in "A World Without Thieves," it would have been difficult to match Andy Lau's star power. And the female lead was someone he, the director, had recommended—what more could be said?

That's why he wouldn't want to cause trouble for himself by taking Wang Jinghua in; to him, it was like meat with thorns.

In fact, from the fact that Wang Jinghua later went to Orange Sky Entertainment, but also fell out with Orange Sky a few years later, it can be seen that no company could tolerate giving her such a lot of power. Because of the artists under her, she interfered with the filming of the crew in various ways, which was harmful to the long-term development of the company.

Listening to Wu Yuchen's analysis, Fan Bingbing seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Huayi Brothers was also about to suffer a severe blow.

Looking back now, she was really lucky. She should really thank Aunt Qiong Yao. If she hadn't fallen out with her back then, how would she have had the opportunity to enter Miracle Films and enjoy so many good resources? The key is that she got close to Wu Yuchen!

She knew that she owed most of her success to Wu Yuchen, who paved the way for her. Otherwise, how could she have gotten those leading roles and two outstanding roles in movies?
Thinking of this, Fan Bingbing leaned close to Wu Yuchen's ear and said, "Brother-in-law, I've never tried being on an airplane before~"

Upon hearing her words, Wu Yuchen opened his eyes and turned to look at this little devil. Was she trying to give him a taste of traveling a thousand miles a day?

Wu Yuchen chuckled: "Let me show you around the room~"

Unexpectedly, Fan Bingbing shook her head and refused, tugging at his clothes with a lustful look in her eyes, saying, "Brother-in-law, let's go to the bathroom first, it'll feel even better there!"

Looking at Fan Bingbing's charming and alluring appearance, Wu Yuchen sighed again, "This little vixen is getting better and better!"
