"When the time comes, we will definitely match audition actors with similar body shapes, so I don't think I need to worry too much about this"
"Buzzing"
Hangcheng, the rehearsal site of "China's Good Dance", Long Fan is accompanying the js brothers and sisters and the newly joined Chen Qiaoen for the last week of dance training here, and is familiar with the entire competition process.
Halfway through the explanation, Long Fan¡¯s cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
"Sorry, pick up the phone." After putting down his work and walking outside the rehearsal room, Long Fan picked up his phone and took a look and found that it was a phone number from Beijing.
Long Fan has received many strange calls like this before. Except for pranks, they are usually from reporters who have just obtained his mobile phone number and want to contact him for interviews.
If he didn¡¯t have a little free time now, Long Fan would have simply hung up or not answered the call.
"Excuse me, who are you" Long Fan said after answering the phone. If the other party was playing a prank, Long Fan promised to hang up the phone within three seconds.
"Hello, is this Mr. Long Fan? I'm a reporter from Entertainment Weekly, and I want to verify something with you." The other party said quickly, as if he was familiar with the temperament of an artist like Long Fan, "I heard that your agent, at the same time Wang Jinghua, who is also an important senior executive of Huayi Brothers Cultural Agency, is about to leave Huayi and join a new employer. Can you confirm this rumor?"
Long Fan was stunned for a moment, but then objected, "I'm just kidding, please don't spread rumors like this that will affect the development of the company's business!"
"That's right. We have received affirmation from some artists within Huayi, so we would like to ask you for confirmation. Will Ms. Wang Jinghua leave Huayi? If she leaves, will you follow her?" The other party refused. Bu Tiao asked.
Long Fan didn't answer anymore, but hung up the phone directly, and then stood there in a daze.
In fact, he had foreseen this news before when checking Wang Jinghua's information, but he did not expect it to happen so many months in advance. It seems that the whirlwind that his butterfly stirred up on the course of historical events really had some influence.
However, Long Fan himself is not yet sure how to face this whirlwind. The best way seems to be to sit back and watch.
"Long Fan, are you okay?" Through the floor-to-ceiling window of the rehearsal room, I saw Long Fan standing there in a daze after putting down the phone. Chen Qiaoen walked to the door and asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, let's continue rehearsing." He shook his head and ignored the matter for the time being. Long Fan returned to the rehearsal room.
I originally thought that such gossip was just a coincidence, but unexpectedly, more text messages and phone calls came to Long Fan's phone one after another, with similar questions - confirmation of the rumors of Wang Jinghua's resignation. And where Long Fan went after completing "Sword of Immortality".
Recalling that Wang Zhonglei personally called him and quickly arranged for him to collaborate with Feng Xiaogang on a new play, Long Fan understood that what was coming had already come, and he couldn't escape it.
That night, just when Long Fan was about to call Wang Jinghua to verify the job-hopping incident, the agent he had not contacted for a long time called first.
"Sister Wang is still on vacation in Japan?" Long Fan asked directly after answering the phone.
Wang Jinghua went to Japan for a trip a while ago, saying he wanted to relax his mind and body. After that, he rarely had any phone contact with Long Fan.
"I'm back. How's your work lately? Are you feeling more relaxed now that you've finished filming "Sword and Sword"?" Wang Jinghua did not directly talk about the news about his resignation. Instead, he first greeted Long Fan with a routine of greetings.
It¡¯s just that now Long Fan has no intention to feel such concern, he just wants to understand Wang Jinghua¡¯s own thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Long Fan said, "I'm fine, butsomeone outside is saying that you want to leave Huayi?"
"Well, we're still talking." Hearing this. Wang Jinghua didn't hide anything and answered frankly. This was beyond Long Fan's expectation. He thought that the other party should try to prevaricate him.
After receiving such a clear answer, Long Fan himself didn't know what to ask anymore.
I think it was Wang Jinghua who took her away from Hengdian and came to the capital to develop, and helped her win many opportunities through her voice in Huayi. Including starring, ** screenwriter, director, and even ** producer.
Now that his Bole is leaving Huayi, Long Fan himself is in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he wants to use Huayi as a springboard to enter the company after he has accumulated enough connections and capital.
On the other hand, out of gratitude and trust to Wang Jinghua, there seems to be no reason for him to continue to stay in Huayi. Instead, he should continue to follow Wang Jinghua to work hard in the new world.
"Do you have any ideas?" Wang Jinghua did not rush for Long Fan to express his position, but asked him for his opinion on his resignation.
"I'm just a pure artist. I don't know anything about management. I don't have anything to say. I just feel it's a bit sudden." Long Fan didn't want to understand the conflict between Wang Jinghua and Huayi at this time. To put it bluntly, it was just about interests. Entanglement, no one is right or wrong in this kind of thing.
"Actually, to be honest, if you are strong enough, no matter where you stay, someone will invest in you to produce TV series or release records." Wang Jinghua said earnestly, "If you are worried that Sister Wang can't find a good employer, or If you don¡¯t want to experience fluctuations, it¡¯s good to stay safely. If you also want to try new challenges and pursue higher dividend contracts, continue to follow Sister Wang. I can also guarantee that your life will not be worse than in Huayi, at least in the exposure Your rate and worth will not drop, it¡¯s up to you to decide how you want to go, and Sister Wang will never make things difficult for you.¡±
Wang Jinghua¡¯s words were very pertinent, but it was precisely because of this that Long Fan seemed more difficult to make a choice.
??Actually, to put it bluntly, this is still a question of self-confidence. Should you choose to believe in your own abilities and run away without the support of this veteran agent, or should you choose to continue relying on crutches that can meet your walking needs.
Just like Han Sanping is respectfully called "Third Master" by the film industry, Wang Jinghua is also respectfully called "Sister Hua" by celebrities. If you open a class for artist managers, Wang Jinghua will be the living textbook and examiner.
Because most of the agents who are active in the Chinese entertainment industry today are her disciples.
From this, it is not difficult to see the inner struggle of Long Fan - throw away the crutches and run alone? Or follow this mighty crutch. Continue to move forward smoothly?
"I need some time to think about it." Long Fan's tone was heavier than ever before.
Wang Jinghua just left a message, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply."
¡ª¡ª
No matter how silent the parties involved like Long Fan were about this matter, the media who got the inside information could no longer restrain their gossips and began to publish this bombshell news one after another.
"Wang Jinghua's whereabouts have been determined and he will officially join Orange Sky Entertainment"
"Dozens of Huayi artists may have collectively changed jobs"
"Rising director Long Fan responded silently, his stay is undecided"
In another report, people finally saw the statement of Wang Zhongjun, the head of Huayi
"Wang Zhongjun, chairman of Huayi Brothers, said that all matters are still being handled, but the situation is by no means as serious as reported. A senior person at Huayi Brothers who did not want to be named said that the flow of artists has always been It¡¯s normal. Now some artists will leave Huayi due to personal reasons and contract expiration, but this does not mean that the company will collectively change jobs.¡±
Although on the surface it seems that Huayi does not care too much about this matter, and its reaction is not violent. But in fact, this incident has caused an uproar within Huayi Company.
You must know that Wang Jinghua holds more than 60% of Huayi¡¯s contracted artist resources. In the initial cooperation, relying on Wang Jinghua¡¯s artist resources, Huayi did enjoy a lot of sweetness.
But now, once this giant manager leaves, whether he sets up his own business or really joins Chengtian Entertainment, the first thing he will take with him is a large number of Huayi's core artists. Without his own signature artists, it is like draining the bottom of the cauldron. The extent of the impact of the media aircraft carrier Huayi is self-evident.
Currently, those who have stated that they will continue to follow Wang Jinghua include old and new superstars such as Chen Daoming, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui, and Xia Yu.
No wonder some media exclaimed, "Huayi is going to be completely hollowed out now!"
Various means and methods to prevent Wang Jinghua and Huayi artists from changing jobs have also been proposed by senior executives, including suing artists for breach of contract. Arrange urgent announcements for artists who have not yet left, and use more generous contracts to attract undecided second-tier artists to stay, etc.
Under the attack and questioning of various media, Wang Zhongjun, who has always been gentle and gentle, couldn't help but get angry in public, "If you want to paralyze Huayi, it's better if I leave! Otherwise, anyone can be missing in Huayi!"
It¡¯s not just Wang Jinghua who offered Long Fan generous transfer conditions. As Huayi's important leader in the TV drama sector, Long Fan inevitably received requests from Huayi's senior executives to retain him.
Including Wang Zhonglei, who was directly responsible for his career, he specially invited several directors together and earnestly persuaded Long Fan to stay at the dinner table, and promised to give Long Fan a higher degree of freedom and more generous packaging conditions.
Faced with such a sincere request to stay, even Feng Xiaogang, who had been working hard with the two brothers until now, couldn't help but feel a little moved. He helped to persuade and said, "Brother Long, I was really not as lucky as you. The contract I signed was to make movies without making any money and without getting paid. Since I said that I was offered this job, I think I will stay. , you no longer need the support of an agent, they are all gone, you want toWhy isn't it you who has the final say? "
Feng Xiaogang¡¯s last words moved Long Fan a little. Although there was some exaggeration in it, it was foreseeable that if he chose to stay, Long Fan would have a lot of room to display.
¡°Compared to temporary benefits, this is what Long Fan needs most.
If you can take this opportunity to enter the discourse level, you can quickly accumulate experience and contacts for establishing your own portal.
"I was brought up by Sister Wang." Holding the wine glass in his hand, Long Fan, who was slightly drunk, made some determination in his heart and said, "Sister Wang gave me many opportunities to show myself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone thought that Long Fan was going to follow Wang Jinghua with all his heart, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Unexpectedly, Long Fan continued, "It's just that I am so worthy of being valued by the company. I can stay, but there is one thing I won't do."
"Okay, tell me." Wang Zhonglei, who was a little annoyed at first, couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw Long Fanliu's turn.
"I will not do anything to add insult to injury nor will I do anything to directly confront Sister Wang." Long Fan drank the red wine in his glass in one breath, "If the company wants me to criticize or criticize Sister Wang for changing jobs, I will definitely not agree"
On the surface, he looked drunk, but Long Fan still knew it in his heart. According to the information, Wang Jinghua will join an entertainment company with a Japanese background, and the Huayi side, which has suffered a heavy blow, will not remain silent easily. It is inevitable that they will find someone to make some fuss about, so Long Fan simply jumped out of the business in advance. I don¡¯t want to be involved in a management-level fight like this again.
"Oh, how could it be? We are not at war." After hearing that it was not an excessive request, a senior Huayi executive next to him finally smiled and said, "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate Director Long Fan's stay."
But regardless of the atmosphere at the scene, Long Fan knew that the bad blood between himself and Wang Jinghua had arisen from this moment on. In the future, he could only get rid of crutches and walk boldly on his own.
In response to the "cheers" from all the Huayi executives, Long Fan showed a wry smile. This is what the so-called people in the world can't help themselves . )
