Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 89 The Romans

Some people are born in Rome, and some are born as mules and horses.

While the boss of Mule Road and his team were working tirelessly in Hong Kong, Liu Zeyu, a Roman, was fiddling with the newly acquired independent enrollment transcript in his office.

With this thing, and the status of a "swimming specialty student", it is certain that I will be admitted to Yanjing University this year.

He had figured it out. He didn't want to compete with the peasants to get into Beijing Film Academy. He could just use capital to crush him.

You made "Whiplash" and I made "Heartstrings".

Not only will the star lineup, investment, and producers crush you, but they will also be scheduled on the same schedule as you, Lu Kuan, to specifically target you!
He sat at his spacious office desk, browsing blogs.

It turns out that this website is really easy to use and very convenient for the new entertainment company boss with a paid-in capital of 1000 million to "choose a concubine".

Wang Xing conscientiously implemented Boss Lu’s star strategy and recruited people crazily.

In addition, the entry and popularity of popular stars of this era such as Mei Yanfang, Jay Chou, and Zhou Xun have brought about a demonstration effect, which has attracted more people from the entertainment industry.

The homepage pushed Mei Yanfang’s latest blog, which was a photo of her and Liu Yifei on the second-floor terrace of their home.

In the distance, the sunset is singing, and in the near distance, the little girl in the purple dress is hugging the arm of the Hong Kong big sister, looking very intimate.

Liu Zeyu looked at Liu Yifei, who was smiling sweetly and looking lively, and felt his heart skip a beat!
Who is this girl?!
It was normal that he didn't know Liu Yifei. While "Gold Powder" was being filmed, she didn't accept any announcements and didn't hold any press conferences for her new movie.

She is now a nobody in the entertainment industry.

Liu Zeyu instantly counted the dozen or so faces he had visited in his mind like a movie.

Including the long-legged female singer from Eagle King in Hong Kong last week...

Compared to the girl in front of me, no one can fight.

I scrolled to the bottom with familiarity and finally found the answer among the countless messages from fans greeting Mei Yanfang.

The heroine of "Whiplash", Liu Yifei.

The damn road is wide, and it has something to do with him!

The young master gritted his teeth and opened the drawer. Inside was a business survey that was done by someone hired by Zhou Lei, the general manager who was currently in charge of the company's affairs.

The latest news is that Lu Kuan's wholly-owned subsidiary Wenjie Culture is in talks with director Zhang Jian, seeking to purchase the rights to adapt "Chinese Paladin" into a TV series.

He thought about it and dialed a number.

"Old Zhou, please book a private room for me in Tianshang Renjian and have an appointment with Mr. Wang from Huayi."

After all, he is not familiar with the entertainment industry, so he still needs to ask experts for advice on how to deal with cunning people like Lu Kuan.

On the evening of June 2002, 6, Beijing was still a place of peace.

After listening to the young yanei's narration, Wang Xiaolei laughed out loud.

"Brother, why are you still playing the true love game? It's not like you!"

He still prefers ventriloquist like Si Yan in Beijing, who is so powerful that he can't control it with both hands.

"Oh no! I ate too much abalone and sea cucumber, and it doesn't taste the same anymore!"

"Brother Lei, I really like this!"

Wang Xiaolei waved his hand and asked the attendants to leave first. He was going to tell them some secrets that could not be told to anyone else.

"That's easy. You have your own entertainment company now. If Huayi has any good projects in the future, I'll give you some share."

It's just an equal exchange. Although the two brothers also came from a large compound, the other party is a local official after all, so it is very convenient for him to get things done.

"Such a newbie who just entered the entertainment industry, isn't it easy to catch her?"

"You fed her and her agency with roles, so she fed you too! Haha!"

Liu Zeyu laughed and said, "She just starred in Lu Kuan's movie. It's a pity that she's a step late!"

"What's the pity? Why don't you just invest in her agency?"

"Didn't you just say that Zhang Jizhong is also on the list of shareholders? Let me ask for you."

He didn't know Cheng Jingfei, but he knew Big Beard.

The later generation's Big Beard established his status in the industry because of Jin Yong's dramas "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Tian Long Ba Bu". He joined Huayi in 2006.

Wang Xiaolei came out of the bathroom and sat down with a frown on his face: "Zeyu, this wide road you mentioned is not simple!" "I'm just a peasant, what's so simple about it?"

Being young and full of vigor, he would never listen to others praising his mortal enemy in front of him.

"You might have been intercepted."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Zeyu's brows were almost twisted together.

"Zhang Jizhong didn't say much. All we know is that Lu Kuan has acquired a stake in Red Star Studio, using Hong Kong's music resources and his own so-called film and television resources as bait."

"What! This beast!"

Liu Zeyu was furious.

I haven't even left yet, and the enemy has already arrived?!
At that time, information was not available online, and the shareholder change registration of Hongxingwu had not been updated. What Xiao Yanei saw was the previous shareholder list.

Wang Xiaolei said with a half-smile, "Lu Kuan's methods don't seem like a rookie's. Are you sure he's a student who just took the art exam?"

Liu Zeyu's face changed and he thought of Zhang Tianshuo.

"Actually, I asked someone to investigate him, and there are many rumors about him..."

The young yamenei told Wang Xiaolei everything he knew, both true and false, in the hope of getting some advice from him.

"A Taoist priest? He's just a charlatan, nothing to worry about."

Wang Xiaolei gave the judgment that any normal person would make.

He began to give the young master advice in detail: "Didn't you say he wanted to buy the rights to adapt that game? Go and fight with him!"

"According to what Zhang Jizhong said, isn't this just the so-called resources he's using to manipulate the company? He can use them to invest, but you can't?"

"Also, Huayi has had quite a few projects in the past two years, so it wouldn't be difficult to promise her a few roles."

Liu Zeyu raised his glass excitedly: "Thank you very much, Brother Lei!"

Xiao Ya knows in his heart that there is no love without reason in this world. Why would they reserve the role for you at Huayi to help you pick up girls?
He immediately understood the meaning of the music and whispered, "I'll tell my dad about the Olympic land you mentioned last time when he comes back from his inspection."

Wang Xiaolei's face changed: "Zeyu, what are you talking about!"

"Brother, you came out so late to have a drink with me, ask me some questions and give me some advice. Do you think that's why I came here?"

He sighed, picked up his coat and was about to leave.

The young master is not stupid. As expected of an entertainment company, he must be playing with female stars to replenish his yin and yang. The show is pretty good.

"Brother Lei! Brother Lei!"

He grabbed Wang Xiaolei's sleeve, looked at the latter with a sullen face, and said with an apologetic smile: "It's my brother who said the wrong thing. Didn't you tell me about this last time? My dad has been on an inspection tour in Europe and hasn't come back yet. I just remembered to tell you this. Don't mind it, don't mind it!"

How can I, who should cooperate with you in your performance, turn a blind eye to it?

Different industries have different worlds. Huayi is now an entertainment giant that is taking off. No matter how many connections or capital Liu Zeyu has, he has to really enter this circle before he can do what he wants.

Wang Xiaolei decided to quit while he was ahead. It was getting late, so the two of them walked out side by side.

Mr. Wang decided to give the young man a ruthless trick to completely tie this son of the prefect to his own interests.

"I know Zhang Jian well. I'll give him a heads-up tomorrow. You can go directly to discuss cooperation and cut off his losses."

"Another thing, you said Zhang Tianshuo's incident was related to him. That grandson is not clean. He has a bunch of hooligans under him, including that Lu Changchun who killed someone and ran away."

"Find someone to spread the word that he was tricked by Lu Kuan."

"He's a desperate criminal, and we can definitely cause him some trouble."

Liu Zeyu had been depressed all night, but now he felt clear-headed after hearing what Wang Xiaolei said.

"Brother Lei, you are still like this!"

The two of them said goodbye arm in arm at the door of Tianshang Renjian. Wang Xiaolei looked at his little brother's thumbs up and felt disdainful in his heart.

You are so ignorant. This time I will let you know how the men in our imperial city play.

These kids from the big compounds have always looked down on the second generation of foreign officials in Beijing, just like Gao Yanei, who is so unclassy.

That's so unethical!
