Wang Zhonglei, CEO of Huayi Brothers.
In 1994, he and his brother Wang Zhongjun established this advertising company called Huayi Brothers.
The name obviously imitates the overseas leader "Warner Brothers".
It is said that they were established together, but in fact it mainly relied on family relationships and the abilities and connections of my brother Wang Zhongjun.
As the Wang brothers from a military family, the eldest brother Wang Zhongjun took the administrative route, joined the army, entered politics, and then resigned to study abroad and start a company.
At the beginning of the transition to film and television investment in 1998, the two first found cooperation with Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen, who were both brothers of the big courtyard, and then they made great progress all the way.
This experience seems quite inspiring, right?
But what most people don’t know is that the first order Huayi Brothers Advertising Company received was to design a LOGO for the Bank of China...
This LOGO is still in use today.
This is a job for ordinary people. Can someone with an ordinary compound background take it?
These two brothers are rich and powerful, and they are caught up in the trend of the times. They indeed have the capital to be arrogant.
And the Wang brothers were famous for being "old school" in doing things in the industry.
What is old school?
This is the style of Hua Yi, a film and television company, which is more like Hong Kong style, such as Emperor and TVB.
Especially Mr. Wang and Wang Zhonglei.
Whether he is playing with women or engaging in banning, his behavior pattern is more like that of the Hong Kong film and television industry in the 1980s, and is even somewhat similar to the Xiang brothers.
Of course, the advantage of being crazy is that not only is he not disgusted with other crazy people, but he easily develops a sympathetic impression of each other.
At this time, Wang Zhonglei looked at the Patek Philippe on Zhang Yuan's left wrist and the shallow scratches on the watch frame.
“Isn’t this the mark Wenwen made?”
Wenwen is his daughter Wang Wenye, who is six years old this year.
My daughter values being rich and raised, and she is the first child, so she is very spoiled.
In addition, I inherited the arrogant and domineering side of my father's personality, and the words "young lady's temper" are written on my face in my daily behavior.
About a month ago, this little girl stole her mother’s diamond necklace and played with it.
After being discovered and saying a few words, the man pouted and threw the necklace out, which happened to hit Mr. Wang's watch on the coffee table.
Yes, the watch frame is made of platinum and is very stiff.
But the necklace is still made of diamonds, which is harder.
With just one knock, a shallow dent appeared.
Even though Xiao Wang is a big boss, he felt heartbroken when his watch worth more than 2 million yuan was broken.
So, he fired the nanny who was looking after his daughter.
Nanny:……
My daughter made a mistake and fired the nanny, but she is pampered like this. Can she be okay when she grows up?
In any case, Xiao Wang relied on this scar to confirm that the watch on Zhang Yuan's wrist was his!
His eyes flashed and he looked at Zhang Yuan in disbelief.
“How did he do it?”
“When did he do it?”
"Oh!"
"I know!"
Wang Zhonglei suddenly reacted.
“I said this guy looks quite decent, why would he extend his left hand when shaking hands and do such an unruly thing.”
“That’s it!”
< br>
"His handshake just now was not to say hello to me, but to 'take' the watch I was wearing on my left hand!"
Xiao Wang was not stupid, and his guess was quite accurate.
The remaining three were also dumbfounded, especially when Xiao Wang said that the watch belonged to him, their jaws almost dropped to the floor.
However, the three people were surprised for different reasons.
Director Feng was scared!
"Good guy, I will obey the boss's watch when we meet for the first time..."
Director Chen Guofu suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Daohai beside him.
As mentioned before, Jiang Daohai comes from a family of magicians and is best at designing action scenes for gambling films, especially hand movements.
Because he is very good at making mistakes and is very confident in the flexibility of his fingers.
When he watched Zhang Yuan's performance of "stealing a bag" without any real objects, he noticed that the young actor's fingers were very flexible, as if he had received some kind of professional training.
He thought that if he makes a gambling movie in the future, through my design, this kid should be able to complete many difficult actions.
Now, he and Mr. Wang, the client, realized almost at the same time that Zhang Yuan had completed the "stealing" through the abrupt handshake just now.
"I didn't realize it at all just now..."
Only then did he realize that it was not certain who designed the other.
In the final analysis, he is just a member of a magic family, and he himself is not a professional magician.
But Zhang Yuan not only collected a lot of points from Cao Shang Fei Ni, but also went through strict training by the opponent. With Jiang Haidao's ability, it was impossible to detect his little moves unintentionally.
At this time, Zhang Yuan stretched his left hand forward again, making a handshake.
Xiao Wang was still immersed in surprise, so he stretched out his hand numbly.
Wow!
Clenched his hands and flicked them, still reaching the point.
Zhang Yuan retracted his arm, and Wang Zhonglei also slowly retracted his arm.
But at the same time, he felt a weight on his wrist.
Carefully opened the cuffs of his shirt and found that the scratched watch had returned to his wrist without anyone noticing.
And the wristband is fastened tightly and fits perfectly.
"Ah..." Xiao Wang sighed slightly.
At this time, Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Daohai aside, smiling and nodding lightly.
Director Jiang blushed.
They did it again, again with everyone staring at it, but no one could figure it out.
Jiang Daohai can roughly guess what Zhang Yuan did.
But he knew that he could never do it!
He gently shook his head at Chen Guofu again, showing a look of helplessness.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan raised his arm again, making a handshake.
It’s just that this time he extended his right hand.
"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry."
"Director Feng asked me to play a thief just now, so I played a paragraph."
"I saw that he didn't yell to stop, so I continued acting directly."
Feng Xiaogang: That's my fault.
"Indeed, according to the rules of the photo studio, you can't stop without calling the card. Zhang Yuan's performance was very professional." Director Feng quickly answered.
Of course you have to support it.
"Oh..." Wang Zhonglei also stretched out his right hand and shook it.
He also asked at the same time.
"What's your skill?"
"I learned it specially for this film."
"Since you want to play a thief, you have to work hard, not just Just imitation."
"You have to learn to become a thief," Zhang Yuan said without squinting.
"Okay, good, I'm interested." Wang Zhonglei shook his right hand three times.
It can be seen from the strength of the handshake alone that he is quite satisfied with Zhang Yuan's performance.
And I also became interested in him.
He is a very arrogant person at heart. It is precisely because Zhang Yuan knows this that he dares to behave so arrogantly in person.
If the other person is a very serious scholar, his behavior will not only frighten the other person, but may also lead to disgust.
But Xiao Wang is different.
Why would he want to win over Zhang Dabeard?
Because essentially, the two are similar.
On the contrary, they like people with strong personalities and bold personalities.
In the final analysis, they just prefer themselves, or people similar to themselves.
"Huh..." Feng Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang Zhonglei not only wasn't unhappy, but also smiled and patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder.
"This kid is so bold, so scary..."
He was afraid that his boss would fall out and eventually implicate himself.
Chen Guofu and Jiang Daohai on the side understood after seeing Xiao Wang's beaming expression. "It's over!"
"Jia Dong lost."
Just like Zhang Yuan said, Lin Jiadong was just imitating the thief.
And Zhang Yuan has become a thief in behavior.
Let’s judge!
The two Hong Kong and Taiwan directors had nothing to say and just watched silently.
"Okay, Zhang Yuan, let's go change clothes and take off makeup. Let's discuss it later."
After Director Feng winked at him, he waved his hand and asked him to exit the room.
"Brother, how's it going?"
As soon as he went out, he saw Wang Baoqiang coming up to him with an excited face.
When he auditioned just now, Director Feng praised him very much, so he knew that his role was probably guaranteed.
"It's okay." Zhang Yuan sat down expressionlessly.
Seeing his state, Baoqiang was a little unsure, so he rolled his eyes and decided to show his loyalty.
"Brother, if you are not chosen, then I will not act."
Zhang Yuan glanced at him and spoke slowly.
“Are you questioning my ability or my character?”
Baoqiang was stunned and quickly shook his head.
"The eldest brother suddenly became so fierce..."
The relationship between the two has changed now.
From pure brothers to superiors and subordinates.
So occasionally, at the right time, he has to show the "majesty" of his boss.
As the saying goes, giving both kindness and power is the way to rule.
Many actors entered the room one after another to audition.
After waiting for about two or three hours, today's work was completed.
"Zhang Yuan, Bao Qiang, you all performed very well today."
At this moment, Director Feng came to the two of them with a bared smile.
"The boss has left. He has a good impression of you two."
"Especially you!" Feng Xiaogang looked straight at him.
"The boss just talked to me and asked a lot of questions about you."
"Including works, performances, personality, etc..."
"I can I have nothing less to say to you.”
"Understood, thank you, Director Feng!" Zhang Yuan smiled and bowed to express his thanks.
Feng Xiaogang said in his heart.
What Zhang Yuan did just now was really thrilling. I am afraid he is the only one in the world who dares to do that.
But he succeeded, and the boss was very impressed by him.
I am afraid that all the actors who auditioned today combined will not get as much attention from the boss as him.
Feng Xiaogang is also a good person.
Before, he only regarded Zhang Yuan as a new actor. Even if his acting skills were good, he would still get into trouble, but after all, he was just an actor.
But now it’s different!
Just like the relationship between Zhang Yuan and Bao Qiang has undergone subtle changes.
Because of the boss's attention, Zhang Yuan's status in Director Feng's heart also changed slightly.
"Sister Hua's contract will expire next year."
"The second king is negotiating with her now."
"This kid has caught up with a good time!"
He thought that if Zhang Yuan entered Huayi and even became an actor highly praised by Huayi, then he would definitely have to be polite to this young man in the future.
However, Feng Xiaogang’s current ideas still have limitations of the times.
He believes that with Zhang Yuan's ability, he will definitely be recruited by a giant domestic film and television company.
And with the speed of his rise, this recruitment will not be too far away.
And Zhang Yuan can only continue to make a name for himself in the film and television industry if he chooses to join a big company.
Huayi is one of the very good choices.
So, his thinking still stayed in the mode of enjoying the shade under the big tree.
Zhang Yuan's idea is completely different.
Being attached to a big tree is only temporary, becoming a big tree is the goal!
After chatting with Director Feng for a long time, they left.
Wang Baoqiang raised his eyelids to peek at him from time to time.
“Big brother is so awesome!”
"Boss Wang pays so much attention to him."
"Feng Xiaogang is so polite when talking to him."
"That's awesome!"
He felt at this moment, It seems like there is nothing wrong with signing that contract yourself.
A few days later, a notice came from "A World Without Thieves" asking them to sign a contract.
Baoqiang was so excited that he didn't sleep all night and came to his door with red eyes early in the morning.
Awakened by his chirping rough voice, the two of them took the car to the science and technology park in Xiaotangshan again.
“This is too much!”
More than an hour later, Wang Baoqiang took a copy of the contract, checked it over and over again, and rubbed it with his hands until the skin almost fell off.
The corners of one page of the contract are curled.
It's the page where the pay is written!
[RMB 500,000]
Before "The Blind Shaft", he could only work as an extra.
And because I am not tall and my image is not that good, I can only do the cheapest peripheral extras.
It's just a corpse in a war movie, or one of the dozens of people in a charge.
If you have a job, you can earn up to 50 to 80 yuan a day. Of course, you have to be exploited by the group leaders.
So when he got the two thousand yuan salary for "The Blind Shaft", he hugged her tightly with both excitement and fear, and wouldn't let go even to sleep.
Just like Sha Gen in "A World Without Thieves".
After that, he sent 1,800 yuan back to his hometown, leaving only 200 yuan for himself.
That’s it, he was already grateful to Zhang Yuan, who introduced him to the crew, and thanked him profusely.
But now, the salary has skyrocketed from two thousand to five hundred thousand!
His mood couldn't be said to be ups and downs, but a sense of unreality and he couldn't believe it, so he checked the contract repeatedly, fearing that it was a dream.
【Received thanks from Wang Baoqiang, physical fitness +1, Kung Fu foundation +1! 】
Hehe, this boy has a conscience and has not forgotten me... Zhang Yuan looked at these attributes with a chuckle.
"Brother, how much money did you get?" Wang Baoqiang asked excitedly.
This question is actually quite inappropriate, just like asking about a colleague’s salary.
But Zhang Yuan did not fall out, but spoke directly.
“One million.”
“What?” After Baoqiang heard this, his tone increased by three points.
“You don’t have as many roles as me?”
"Remuneration is not directly related to the role." Zhang Yuan pointed to himself: "He is only related to this."
"Because I am worth the price."
Wang Baoqiang lowered his head, The pride that had just risen was instantly shattered.
Compared with the boss, I am still far behind...
A few days later, at the Imperial Capital Airport.
Zhang Yuan sat alone in the airport waiting hall.
"Hey!" Suddenly, someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder.
“Morning.”
He could guess who it was without even turning his head.
"Good morning, Aunt Liu." He turned around, waved his hand towards Liu Xiaoli first, and then looked at Liu Qianqian who was holding a can of AD calcium milk and sucking it hard.
"Zhang Yuan, long time no see." Liu Xiaoli nodded in response.
The reason why they met was because they were about to go to the treasure island together to promote the premiere of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"... (End of this chapter)
