Chapter 341: Various Artists of Jiahe
While Liu Zhou, Zhang Zhao and others were talking about things, the artist group also started chatting.
Although there were not many people, they were divided into several circles in groups of three or four.
Qin Hao, Huang Xiaoming and Liu Ye were good friends in college and they kept in touch frequently after graduation.
Although they are direct competitors now, there is no conflict of interest. Even though Qin Hao and Huang Xiaoming are from the same company, they have never had a quarrel because Jiahe can provide enough resources.
So even though the three of them graduated nearly ten years ago, their relationship has become even deeper.
The three of them have been working in the circle for so many years, and they deeply understand how rare it is to have one or two good friends in the circle.
Now that the three of them have achieved success, they value this friendship even more.
So this circle is the most harmonious.
Huang Bo stayed with his good friend Ning Hao. The two of them were drinking and chatting, and it was also very harmonious.
As for the remaining Zhu Yawen and Zhang Yi, both of them have joined the company for two or three years. Although they are not very familiar with each other, at least they know each other.
They also knew that they were latecomers and could not fit in the other two circles, so the two of them sat together without any prior arrangement, chatting casually, and looked harmonious.
Finally, the eldest brother Hu Jun has a much wider network of contacts. He also chats and laughs with Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng.
At the beginning, Hu Jun had been in the Hong Kong circle for a while and was familiar with many Hong Kong filmmakers, including Xu Ke.
What's more, the two of them also worked together on "The Swordsman 2" and "Painted Skin", which deepened their friendship, and now they have become colleagues in the same company.
If the boys' side seems harmonious, the girls' side also seems harmonious, but if you walk closer, you can feel that the air pressure around them is a little low.
Dong Xuan was fine, she didn't have so many thoughts and just stayed with her agent.
As for Liu Yifei, she is still young and doesn't seem to be good at socializing. She just stays with her mother.
However, his mother was not a pushover. She took Liu Yifei to greet the management of Jiahe and wanted to establish a good relationship first.
During this period, Liu Yifei's mother finally came to her senses and realized that Liu Yifei's super high popularity was not a panacea.
No matter how popular you are, you still need the support of a big company behind you, so that life will be easier.
Before the formal agreement was signed, Jiahe had already shown her what strength was.
In just three days, the negative information about Liu Yifei on the Internet has almost disappeared, and was replaced by press releases about Liu Yifei, continuing to build her image as a fairy sister.
This can be considered as a gift from Jiahe to Liu Yifei.
This time, Liu Yifei's mother finally did not make a mistake and stand Jiahe up again.
If Jiahe had made many preparations for Liu Yifei to join the show, but they still stood her up, the consequences might not be as simple as being criticized.
It will be difficult for Liu Yifei to find a place in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future.
By then, no one in the Hong Kong circle would dare to accept her unless she went to Taiwan or a university, or went to Korea to develop.
Having offended Tangren, Huayi and Jiahe successively, it is useless for Liu Yifei to have a thick blood.
However, Liu Yifei's mother has long been honest. The setbacks she has experienced throughout the past year have made her sober up. The right to speak in the entertainment industry is still firmly in the hands of those big companies.
So she no longer had the unrealistic idea of letting Liu Yifei go to Hollywood, but instead hoped to return to the mainland entertainment circle.
After searching around, she was relieved to find that Jiahe was not afraid of Huayi and was willing to accept Liu Yifei.
To this end, she is also willing to give up her position as her daughter's agent and no longer interfere in her daughter's career.
After the Chinese New Year, Liu Yifei's mother was very grateful for her decision.
When the financing situation of Jiahe came out, the news of its valuation of 10 billion also shocked her. When Chen Jing was not at his peak, he did not have so much money, only 10 or 20 billion.
Now that Liu Yifei has the giant Golden Harvest as her backer, she will definitely have better development. Even her original delusion of sending her daughter to develop in Hollywood does not seem to be a difficult thing.
This time, the senior management of Jiahe gathered together for a rare occasion. She knew that her daughter was not good at socializing, so she had to step in person as a mother.
If she hadn't seen that the Jiahe executives on Liu Zhou's side seemed to be discussing something, she would have taken her daughter over to say hello.
Especially the youngest figure standing in the middle. If she hadn't heard that he already had a girlfriend, she would have thought Liu Zhou would be the best match for her daughter.
But since he has a girlfriend, even though it's a pity, I can only let it go.
No matter how rich he is, she will never let her daughter be his mistress.
She may not be a good agent, but she is a very qualified mother.
Afterwards, Liu Yifei's mother wanted to take her daughter to meet some seniors such as Fan Xiaopang, but as a woman with keen intuition, she felt that the place should be a place of trouble at this time.
So I stopped decisively, stayed with my daughter and reminded her of some things to pay attention to.
In fact, her feeling was not wrong. At this moment, the situation between Fan Xiaopang, Zhou Gongzi and Zeng Li was indeed not so harmonious.
It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that the situation was tense, but Young Master Zhou and Fatty Fan had already started exchanging words.
If Zeng Li hadn't been there, the two of them might have quarreled even more fiercely, and it would have been impossible for them to maintain smiling and warm expressions.
But Zeng Li probably also heard some rumors about Fan Xiaopang and Liu Zhou. Regardless of whether they were true or not, he couldn't help but stand on Mr. Zhou's side psychologically.
But Zeng Li was the boss's wife after all, so it was not easy for her to take sides too obviously. She just stood on Mr. Zhou's side vaguely.
Compared with male artists, it is more difficult for female stars to have friendships.
Many people who believe in friendship have basically been cheated.
What's more, Fan Xiaopang and Zhou Gongzi are direct competitors.
The person who was most unhappy about Mr. Zhou's joining was none other than Fat Fan.
After Zeng Li retired, she had all the female lead resources at Golden Harvest to herself. Now there's one more person to share the spoils. How could she be in a good mood?
What's more, Fan Xiaopang in this life is not comparable to the one in the original time and space. Not only is he very popular and has few negative scandals, but he also has the Academy Award for Best Actress in his hands and is very proud.
I feel that as a senior of Jiahe, I have to explain the rules to Zhou Gongzi, the newcomer.
But Mr. Zhou is no pushover. He started out as a bar singer in the 1990s.
Having been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, what kind of storms have you not seen?
She joined Golden Harvest for better development, not to compete.
Although she knew that she and Fan Xiaopang would be competitors, Ms. Zhou knew clearly that the resources that Jiahe could provide were sufficient.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been an overflow of resources before, and such an outstanding role as Xiao Wei in "Painted Skin" would be given to me, and the same is true for the upcoming "The Sound of Wind".
Especially after joining and learning that Zeng Li would retire, Mr. Zhou no longer worried about resources.
So she felt that when getting along with Fan Xiaopang, she didn't need to compete openly or secretly with Li Bingbing like she did in Huayi. Instead, the two of them could get along well.
But when she wanted to get along well with others, they seemed to be putting on airs.
Of course, Master Zhou would not indulge the other party in this matter.
At the beginning, the two of them just exchanged a few verbal insults, but neither of them was willing to give in easily, and as they kept arguing, they started to get really angry.
Just when Zeng Li felt that she could no longer control herself, Liu Zhou, who had just finished talking to the senior executives, came over with a glass of red wine.
"What are you guys talking about so happily?" Liu Zhou said with a smile, then walked to Zeng Li and put his hand naturally around Zeng Li's waist.
When Zeng Li saw Liu Zhou like this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, while Fan Xiaopang opposite her couldn't help but flash a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Nothing, I'm just teaching some rules to the newcomers who have just joined Jiahe. We are a big company, so we want to prevent some people from not following the rules."
Hearing what Fatty Fan said, Mr. Zhou's anger immediately surged up, and he was about to retort, but was interrupted by Liu Zhou:
"What are you talking about? We don't have any rules in Jiahe. The biggest rule of Jiahe is that everyone maintains harmony."
Liu Zhou knew Fan Xiaopang's temper. Having not experienced those years of isolation and exclusion, she is now more angular.
He recruited Miss Zhou to make money, not to have her come and quarrel with anyone.
Moreover, with Fat Fan's current level, he may not be able to win an argument with Master Zhou. He and Boss Zhao are not at a disadvantage in the fight.
Relatively speaking, Liu Zhou will definitely stand on Fan Xiaopang's side and certainly won't let her suffer any loss.
So I originally wanted to go to Liu Ye's side, but when I saw that the atmosphere here was a little strange, I immediately came over.
Sometimes Liu Zhou really couldn’t understand why it was usually difficult for two women to live in peace when standing together.
However, Liu Zhou did not expect them to live in peace, as long as they did not fight each other, otherwise it would not look good both internally and externally.
When Master Zhou heard what Liu Zhou said, he had to hold back what he was about to say.
After all, Liu Zhou is his boss now, and he has a very high status in the circle, so even though he was indignant, he didn't say anything.
Fat Fan also heard Liu Zhou's unquestionable tone and stopped teasing Master Zhou.
"I heard from Mr. Chen that The Sound of Wind will start filming in two days. You will all have to work together then, so don't let your relationship become strained."
The tribute film "The Sound of Wind" by Golden Harvest was actually prepared as early as the end of last year.
But later due to Golden Harvest's financing issues and Mr. Zhou's contract problems, it has been delayed until now.
Now that everything has been resolved, Chen Guofu has decided to officially start filming on March 1st.
One of them plays Gu Xiaomeng and the other plays Li Ningyu, and they have a lot of rival scenes.
However, seeing how they are now, Liu Zhou is a little worried that they might quarrel again on the set of "The Sound of Wind".
Liu Zhou will have to talk to Chen Guofu later and ask him to pay attention to these two people. I think with Chen Guofu's qualifications and prestige, he can suppress them both.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. I'm a professional actor. No matter how much I hate someone, it won't affect the filming." Mr. Zhou replied.
"That makes me feel relieved. I hope I can see your wonderful performance this time."
Liu Zhou's words interrupted Fan Xiaopang's retort, and seeing Liu Zhou's eyes, Fan Xiaopang didn't say anything more.
Liu Zhou chatted with the two of them for a while, and when he saw that they were not going to quarrel anymore, he left.
Liu Zhou then came to Liu Yifei and had a brief chat with the mother and daughter.
It was the first time that Liu Zhou met this fairy sister up close.
She was indeed very beautiful at this moment. Even just sitting there quietly, she could attract most of the attention.
Her mother still has some charm, but it's not to the extent that she's boasted on the Internet that she's prettier than Liu Yifei, after all, she's old.
Afterwards, Liu Zhou walked towards Liu Ye and Qin Hao, with a smile on his face, a smile from the heart.
Liu Zhou doesn’t have many friends in the circle, and so far he only has those he made friends with during college, namely the ones in front of him.
During college, Liu Zhou and Liu Ye had the best relationship.
However, by some strange coincidence, Liu Ye was the farthest away from him.
But their relationship has not changed much. They still eat barbecue, drink and chat together when they have time.
It was because they often spent time together when they had time that they did not distance themselves from Liu Zhou because of his change in status.
Although the three of them are now Liu Zhou's employees, he has never thought of treating them as employees.
"Ye Zi, after all these twists and turns, you finally fell into my hands." After saying that, Liu Zhou sat down next to Liu Ye.
"I just saw that you didn't have a top artist in Jiahe, so I came here to support you."
"Alright, I haven't seen you for a few days and you've become so eloquent. Haozi, Xiaoming, Ye Zi, you don't take me seriously at all!"
"He's just being stubborn now."
"Xiao Ming is right. I don't know who hugged my thigh and said, 'I want to come to Jiahe, too. I want to come to Jiahe, too.'"
"Hahaha!"
"Ha ha…"
"Hahaha…"
Seeing Qin Hao imitating Liu Ye's tone of voice in a funny way, Liu Zhou and Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but burst out laughing. Later, Qin Hao couldn't help laughing too.
"Haozi, you are talking nonsense. When did I ever hug your thigh? If I wanted to hug someone, it would be Lao Liu's thigh."
"Then try hugging me, maybe there's a surprise!" Liu Zhou said to Liu Ye with a smile.
"What's the surprise? Tell me."
"If you don't even hold my thigh, how can I give you a surprise?"
"Stop it, tell me some surprise, you've aroused my curiosity."
"Then when will you treat me to a meal at Donglaishun?"
"no problem."
Seeing Liu Ye's expectant look, Liu Zhou said with a smile:
"Director Zhang has probably decided that you will be the male lead in Moon!"
"Really?"
"That's still a holiday. Director Zhang should call you in a couple of days."
"Then what kind of surprise is this? You're just offering me something on behalf of others, and you're even trying to cheat me out of a meal."
"Look, look, he is born in the Year of the Dog, his expression changes at any time."
"Haha."
"Hahaha!"
The laughter coming from Liu Zhou from time to time also attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.
Not only other artists, but even company executives like Zhang Zhao couldn't help but feel envious.
The boss was not so casual and relaxed in front of them.
