reshape life

Bearing the great expectations of Director Liang Mai of Maicheng, Liu Yingdi bit the bullet and found out the hotel where Wei's father and son stayed in Xiangcheng, and personally called to make an appointment to visit.

It happened that Wei Zhanjie also wanted to discuss something with Liu Jiawei, so he set the meeting time at noon.The location is at the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel where you are staying.

Xiangcheng is narrow and crowded, with a prosperous economy and row upon row of high-rise buildings. The pace of life is relatively faster than that of the mainland, and the pressure of life is naturally greater.

So it is a good enjoyment to be able to watch the sea view in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Wei Zhanjie said with a smile: "...I really admire the fighting spirit of the people of Xiangcheng. In just over a hundred years, they have been able to build a tiny place into an international commercial metropolis. It can be seen the wisdom and hard work of Xiangcheng people. Of course, what I admire most is the professionalism and dedication of Xiangcheng filmmakers, who are definitely the role models of Chinese filmmakers."

Speaking of this, Wei Zhanjie complimented Liu Jiawei's acting skills and professionalism very sincerely, and naturally mentioned the few movies that Liu Jiawei had starred in before.Being well-organized and meaningful is not just a polite word on the scene.

Liu Jiawei was slightly surprised by Wei Zhanjie's attitude, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that Mr. Wei has so many things to do every day, and he actually saw my clumsy work."

Wei Zhanjie laughed: "Everyone likes classics. As for me, I have liked watching movies since I was a child. To be honest, I watch at least a hundred movies every year."

Liu Jiawei smiled slightly, and said flatteringly: "It's no wonder that the works of China Emperor Entertainment have always been recognized by the market and the audience. It can be seen that Mr. Wei has a unique vision."

"Do what you do and love what you do!" Wei Zhanjie waved his hand and said with a sigh: "It's just a pity. In recent years, Xiangcheng movies have not been as good as before in terms of output and quality. A few years ago, the classics were released. Scenes where a group of actors compete for supremacy have rarely appeared."

One sentence touched Liu Jiawei's mind, but he didn't answer.

Wei Linxuan, who was sitting on the side, said casually: "But there is no way to do it. Xiangcheng is too small, the place is small, and there are few people. Only these people will watch the film. Even if it is a box office hit It’s tens of millions. In a few years, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to pay the actors’ salaries and filming costs. Unlike in mainland China, where the mass base is so large, let’s say "Li Shimin and the Eighteen Arhats" 20 years ago is good. Yes, a movie ticket only sells for a dime, and the cumulative box office can reach [-] million. Xiangcheng absolutely does not have this mass base. If there is no money to make, there will be no investors to invest, and the producers will be stretched. If things go on like this, Xiangcheng Movies Naturally, the sun is setting."

Liu Jiawei smiled, but did not speak.

Wei Zhanjie glanced at Wei Linxuan, and smiled at Liu Jiawei: "Children are ignorant and always talk nonsense."

Liu Jiawei said with a smile: "How could it be, Mr. Wei has great insight, and he explained the current situation of Xiangcheng movies in one word."

Wei Zhanjie laughed and said, "Don't mention these boring topics. I invite Mr. Liu to come here today. I just want to say that I appreciate Mr. Liu's character and talent. I believe you need a bigger platform to display your talent. And our Huaxia Emperor Entertainment also needs the talent of Mr...."

Wei Zhanjie's meaning is very simple, he just wants to sign Liu Jiawei's brokerage contract in mainland China.The artists of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment were all stolen by Star Entertainment, and they fell into an embarrassing situation of not being able to take over for a while. Although the talent show "Singing for the Future" can cultivate newcomers to stand out, China Emperor Entertainment still lacks big names.

So Wei Zhanjie and his son set their sights on Xiangcheng.

There are countless first-line superstars here. If you want to have acting skills, you need to be popular and popular. It's a pity that Xiangcheng movies are not as brilliant as they were ten years ago. Isn't it a waste of everything?

Therefore, when Wei Zhanjie and his son came back to Xiangcheng for a business trip, the first thing was to find the mainland brokerage contracts of these Xiangcheng artists; the second thing was to plan for the copyright of those classic Xiangcheng film and television dramas.

However, these things have been planned secretly, and outsiders do not know.

Liu Jiawei looked at Wei Zhanjie in surprise, he came here as a lobbyist at the invitation of Director Mai Chengliang.Unexpectedly, before the business was said, a bomb from Wei Zhanjie was blown up.

Sign your mainland brokerage contract to China Emperor Entertainment, and the other party will be responsible for all your work arrangements in the mainland?

Liu Jiawei thought about it, and suddenly felt that this proposal was not bad.

Of course he has heard the news that artists under Huaxia Emperor Entertainment were packaged and stolen, but the current situation of a large number of artists defecting has not affected the normal operation of China Emperor Entertainment.The birth of "Exchanging Life" not only eased the embarrassing situation of China TV's ratings plummeting, but also enhanced the image and influence of China Emperor Entertainment and Weijia in society.Lu Heng, who was picked up subsequently, has even more talent and potential.

It can be seen that China Emperor Entertainment's vision, marketing planning and crisis public relations are absolutely above the standard.

Liu Jiawei lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said jokingly: "If I agree to Mr. Wei's invitation, in exchange, I wonder if Mr. Wei can agree to Mr. Mai's request?"

Wei Zhanjie spread his hands with a smile on his face, and pointed to his son: "I don't count on this matter, Linxuan is in charge."

With a straight face, Wei Linxuan said solemnly: "Of course not."

Liu Jiawei raised his eyebrows, and said with great interest, "Why not?"

Wei Linxuan said: "Because losing weight is not good for your health. Lu Heng is not yet an adult."

"But if you agree to Director Mai's request, I will agree to your father's invitation. Isn't that okay?" Liu Jiawei asked with a smile.

Wei Linxuan shook his head bluntly: "From the company's point of view, we will not sacrifice the artist's health for the benefit of the company; from a personal point of view, I, Wei Linxuan, will not sell my friend's body for my own benefit .”

"So unfortunately, I don't agree."

Looking at Wei Linxuan who was extremely resolute, Liu Jiawei shook his head with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Wei Zhanjie: "Then, Mr. Wei, you can discuss the details of the contract with my management team. Now, first of all, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Wei Zhanjie glanced at his son with a smile, held Liu Jiawei's hand, and said with a smile, "It's a happy cooperation."

Liu Jiawei looked at Wei Linxuan who was not surprised at all, and said, "I like your persistence very much. A company that will not sacrifice the interests of artists must be a trustworthy company."

Wei Linxuan also stretched out his arm solemnly: "I also believe that Huaxia Emperor Entertainment will not disappoint Mr. Liu's trust."

Liu Jiawei smiled and held hands with Wei Linxuan.

The old friend who had placed high hopes on him failed, and instead of getting Huaxia Diyu to agree to Lu Heng's weight loss, he sold himself out.The cruel reality disappointed Mai Chengliang.

Facing the mournful eyes of his old friend, Liu Yingdi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I also think it is too cruel for you to let a 14-year-old boy lose weight. He will not grow tall. Huaxia Emperor Entertainment will do this. It’s also for the sake of my own artist.”

"Then what about my movie?" Mai Chengliang asked youyou.

"Lu Heng is only 14 years old this year. Let him play the canine tooth. I think the image is very suitable. The boy's figure is already very slender. You can make him wear a little looser, and then find out from the makeup and lighting. Once you find it, it should be fine." Liu Jiawei spread his hands and easily rebelled: "You can't let a 14-year-old boy be a dwarf all his life just to film your movie."

Seeing the accusing gaze from his old friend, Liu Jiawei could only touch his nose and say, "Otherwise... you can find another actor."

Mai Chengliang snorted bitterly.Do you think good actors are Chinese cabbage, and you can find them by picking at random?

If Lu Heng's performance in the audition was not too amazing, completely suppressing the limelight of others, why would he be so obsessed with it?You should have gone to someone else earlier, okay?

Mai Chengliang was indignant.However, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment did not make it, and the old friend who had high hopes turned his back on the battlefield. Afterwards, none of the actors who auditioned for Cangya did not have Lu Heng's talent and aura.

Director Mai tossed and tossed for a long time, and finally he could only hold his nose and agreed to China Emperor Entertainment's request that the actors not lose weight.

Just like Liu Jiawei's proposal, Lu Heng already fits Houndya's personality very well. As long as he wears loose clothes, he can feel thin and sickly pale through makeup and lighting.But the acting skills and talents that can make the characters fit are not easy to find.

After successfully signing the contract with the crew, Lu Heng returned to Yanjing with the successful Wei family father and son.

The time has entered December of 2000.As the end of the year approaches, all companies are working overtime to make financial reports, and all schools have also started the final review stage.

After another monthly exam, Lu Heng, who was so busy with work that his grades in all subjects were wiped out, was called to the office by the teacher.

The head teacher of Class 35 of Junior High School Affiliated to Yanda University looked helplessly at Lu Heng standing in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Student Lu, I know about your family situation, and I also know that you signed a contract with an entertainment company. Yes. But you are still a student after all, and you should focus on studying. Although our class is a special class, and the grades of students are not as high as other classes, there are still basic requirements for passing every exam .”

"...You think you've probably heard that the High School Attached to Yanda University has always had a tradition of direct admission to higher education. However, the school also has regulations on the entrance examinations from elementary school to junior high school, and from junior high school to senior high school. You must at least ensure that you pass every subject before you can enter the university. Pass the entrance examination. If you still fail the entrance examination in June, you will have to repeat the grade."

One sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and suddenly the thunder stunned Lu Heng.

The homeroom teacher looked at Lu Heng's stunned and unbelievable expression, tapped his test paper with red crosses all over his face, and reminded him: "If student Lu doesn't want to repeat the grade in half a year, you should study hard."
