Chapter 222 It turns out it’s because of him

Huayi Headquarters.

Returning to this business building after half a month gave Huo Siyan a sense of right and wrong.

In late July, while "Zhu Yuanzhang" dominated prime time, "Seven Fairies of Joy" was also released simultaneously on the prime channels of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Shanghai.

The golden channel sounds good, but it is actually a local channel in Shanghai.

Fortunately, although the radiation range is not comparable to that of Beijing Satellite TV, the ratings far exceeded expectations.

Moreover, the popularity of this drama in Hong Kong and Taiwan is not low at all, so the producer specially invited the male and female protagonists and several important actors to go to Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Wanwan to promote it.

Huo Siyan just flew back from Wanwan last night. As a result, she received a call from Wang Zhonglei early in the morning, asking her to come to the company as soon as possible.

Huo Siyan was not surprised by this.

"Seven Fairies of Joy" has obvious signs of becoming a hit, and is not even worse than Xu Kun's "Zhu Yuanzhang" - of course, there is no comparison in terms of difficulty of interpretation.

Even if he repeatedly stated that he would not leave Huayi, the two presidents Wang would definitely have to talk to him face to face before they could truly feel at ease.

While Huo Siyan was thinking about how to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits, she climbed up the stairs to the second floor.

This was originally a place where second- and third-tier stars gathered. Every time I came here, I would always see a few familiar faces, but today Huo Siyan walked all the way and didn't see even a single familiar face.

Although Huo Siyan had expected this, she still couldn't help but feel empty and heavy in her heart.

However, the sluggish situation in all industries can also provide some bargaining chips for the subsequent negotiations - this is the main reason why Huo Siyan came to the second floor first.

She adjusted her mood and stood in front of the elevator door, ready to go straight to the top floor to see Wang Zhonglei.

As a result, the moment the elevator opened, Huo Siyan couldn't help but be stunned, and then her mood suddenly sank.

There were four people in the elevator. The two masters and servants were clearly separated. It was Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing who each had their assistants!

Why are these two bitches still in the company? !

Weren't they the ones who were the most troublesome before? Why did they give up at the last moment? !

Seeing Huo Siyan outside the elevator, Li Bingbing nodded politely to her, while Fan Bingbing simply turned a blind eye and made no excuses.

Previously on the set of "Eight Heroes", the two Bingbing hardly spoke to each other, and Huo Siyan also kept a distance from the two of them. So after the filming of the TV series was completed, the three of them not only did not become familiar with each other, but became more distant.

If an ordinary second- or third-tier star faced Shuang Bing with a full aura, he would probably have to stay away.

But Huo Siyan was not an ordinary person. She walked in without hesitation and took the center C seat without hesitation.

The atmosphere in the elevator was more subtle.

In fact, with Huo Siyan's current qualifications, even if "Seven Fairies of Joy" is a big hit, there is still a long way to go before the fourth double ice. But the strange thing is that this time Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing didn't express anything, seeming to acquiesce. The momentum of tripartite confrontation has been achieved.

This made Huo Siyan feel a little dizzy all of a sudden.

She thought to herself that she was right to choose Huayi and stay in Huayi. Although Xu Kun had a lot of resources behind him, he was a gangster after all, and he was surrounded by women one after another. It was absolutely impossible for him to provide a man like Huayi. An opportunity for me and the fourth generation to compete on the same ice.

Huo Siyan's inflated mood reached its peak after arriving at the top floor because of the little secretary's words:

"I'm sorry, sisters Bingbing, could you please wait outside for a moment? Mr. Wang hopes to talk to Miss Huo alone first."

This kind of treatment is exactly what Huo Siyan dreams of!

Feeling the sharp dagger-like gazes on both sides, Huo Siyan seemed to step on the G-spot with every step he took, as if he had been drugged, and he was so excited that he felt dizzy.

It wasn't until she opened the office door that she woke up a little, but the excitement on her face still remained.

"Si Yan is here!"

Wang Zhonglei, who was looking through the documents, saw Huo Siyan come in. He immediately stood up and walked out of the desk. He took the initiative to shake hands with Huo Siyan and said, "You have worked hard on this trip. Take a good rest for a few days when you come back. The company will definitely entrust you with it next." With heavy responsibility.”

Huo Siyan smiled and said: "Actually, this trip is not too tiring. It is equivalent to traveling to Hong Kong and Taiwan. It's just that Wanwan's fans are so enthusiastic that it's a bit overwhelming."

While she emphasized how hot she was in Wanwan, she was a little confused about Wang Zhonglei's performance. It's not that Wang Zhonglei took the initiative to show his courtesy, but that Wang Zhonglei just touched her fingertips and then stopped - this is not in line with Mr. Xiao Wang's usual style.

Wang Zhonglei listened to Huo Siyan's words and said with a smile: "Then we need to take a break. At least we should take time to see our friends. We can't alienate each other just because we are busy filming."

As he spoke, he took out a document from the table, handed it to Huo Siyan and said, "By the way, help me pass this thing to Xu Kun."

"What's this?"

Huo Siyan took it in his hand doubtfully, wondering why Wang Zhonglei suddenly mentioned Xu Kun and asked her to find him by name.

Shouldn't you make sure you stay in Huayi at this time? !

"This is the list of movies to be released during the Lunar New Year this year."

Wang Zhonglei said: "The end of the year is indeed better than the year before, but I think it is best to postpone it to Valentine's Day, so that "Awkward" can avoid the two New Year's comedies on Hong Kong Island."

Huo Siyan became more and more confused, what is all this?

What's a 'Lunar New Year movie, a Lunar New Year movie', what's "A Man on the Road", what does this have to do with Xu Kun?

Wang Zhonglei saw her doubts and couldn't help but wonder: "Why, haven't you paid attention to the news in the capital in the past half month?"

"In fact, Wanwan reports selectively on news from the mainland."

There are all negative reports about Huayi in Wanwan. It looks like internal entertainment is about to destroy the Great Wall, and Wanwan's entertainment industry is just in time to completely dominate the mainland.

However, after listening to Wang Zhonglei's words, Huo Siyan had already realized that Xu Kun must have made new noise in the past half month, and it was a big one.

"Jessica~"

When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he immediately pressed the pager on the table and told the female secretary outside the door: "Send me the clippings of recent reports related to Xu Kun."

Not long after, the female secretary brought in a thick newspaper clipping.

Some of them were cut from newspapers, some were cut from magazines, and some were excerpted from websites.

At Wang Zhonglei's signal, Huo Siyan carefully flipped through a few pages and found that these reports seemed to be all kinds of things.

But the core content is that Xu Kun wrote a New Year comedy movie script, and this script was favored and valued by Feng Xiaogang. He even offered to serve as a producer to help Xu Kun complete this debut film that he wrote, directed, and starred in.

In the end, Xu Kun refused without hesitation, insisting that he would complete the film by himself and would never be Lu Chuan's second best.

Huayi graciously took over the promotion of the movie and made an appointment to formally negotiate an artist contract after the movie is released.

After reading it, Huo Siyan was confused for a while before he came to his senses. No wonder Wang Zhonglei was anxious to find him, no wonder the attitudes of Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing changed.

It turns out that all this is ultimately because of Xu Kun!

He has only been out for half a month, how come he has changed from an actor and producer to a screenwriter and director? !

Huo Siyan asked in disbelief: "The report said that Director Feng liked the book written by Xu Kun. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true."

Wang Zhonglei said: "In fact, it was Director Feng who first proposed that Xu Kun try to direct and act on his own. Director Feng said that he saw the sense of the shot from Xu Kun's original outline and thought that Xu Kun conceived it in his mind first. out of the picture, and then turn the picture into text.

Taking this step back is the process of filming a movie, so Director Feng determined that Xu Kun had the potential to be a director. "

Feng Xiaogang's inference was also the main reason why the kings readily agreed to Xu Kun after a brief discussion.

Anyway, Huayi will not suffer any loss.

If Xu Kun's movie fails, Huayi can take the opportunity to lower the price.

If Xu Kun's movie becomes popular, it will be a good time to publicize his joining to tide over Huayi's upcoming period of decline.

As for the issue of only signing an actor contract, Wang and Wang feel that it is not a problem at all. If they can win a director's contract, that would be the best.

Even if Xu Kun's director contract is not signed with Huayi, wouldn't Huayi still be able to invest in his movie?

That doesn’t make sense!
