Chapter 53: Are you crazy?!
On January 10th, Huayi’s annual meeting will be held at Kunlun Hotel in Peking.
As long as there are no special arrangements, all Huayi artists will return to Peking to attend the company's annual meeting.
Therefore, many entertainment media have been waiting in the hotel lobby since early morning.
Today may be the time of the year when there are the most celebrities, apart from the Spring Festival Gala and major evening parties.
Starting at eight o'clock in the morning, artists began to arrive one after another.
Most of the people who came in advance were relatively small artists, including Mu Rong.
Although he has already acted in Zhang Jizhong's "Dragon", the movie has not yet been aired and his popularity is still very limited.
However, because of his "arrogant words" at the press conference, he still left a deep impression on many media reporters.
Therefore, when he appeared at the door of the hotel, reporters stepped forward one after another to interview him.
"Mu Rong, have your scenes in Tian Long Ba Bu been completed?"
"Did your Murong Fu meet your own expectations?"
"When will the play be released?"
"Have you ever seen Jin Yong?"
Publicity is very important for artists. Only with media promotion can artists become famous.
This is why Li Xue woke Mu Rong up early and urged him to come to the hotel in advance to wait.
It was late. The reporters were all interviewing the big names, so they didn't bother to talk to him.
While Mu Rong was being interviewed, Li Xue suddenly saw Wang Jinghua who had just gotten out of the car, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Sister Hua, are you here?"
Wang Jinghua looked a little tired and was talking on the phone.
Hearing Li Xue's voice, she made a gesture to ask Li Xue to wait, then said a few words, hung up the phone, and then asked: "Where is Mu Rong?"
"Be interviewed over there."
Li Xue pointed to Mu Rong's position.
Looking at it from afar, Wang Jinghua whispered: "I have discussed Mu Rong's contract change, but it has not been discussed."
She originally planned to wait for Wang Zhonglei to come back and then try to fight for it through Wang Zhonglei.
Although Wang Zhonglei agreed, it was Wang Zhongjun who made the final decision, and Wang Zhonglei could not make the decision.
"Why?"
Li Xue didn't understand: "Isn't it our company that always decides on artist contracts? Aren't the opinions of the headquarters a reference?"
Hearing what she said, Wang Jinghua's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and she explained: "In principle, I make the decision, but because it involves profit distribution, I have to go through the contract approval process..."
After a pause, she still sighed: "Wang Zhongjun doesn't want to open this hole. If he doesn't nod, the new contract will not go through."
"What should we do?"
Li Xue looked at Mu Rong, worried: "Mu Rong will definitely be angry if he knows about his temper."
"Who is not angry? I am angry too. Wang Zhongjun has lost all humanity in what he did."
Wang Jinghua couldn't help complaining, and then said helplessly: "There is no way! The breaching party is always an unreasonable party. The contract has been signed, and they ask you to fulfill the contract. You have no temper at all. What can you do?
?”
Looking at Mu Rong again, she pulled Li Xue aside and whispered: "Speak to Mu Rong and persuade him. If you stay for another four years, I will try my best to tilt the company's resources to him. In these four years
Just stop thinking about making money.
He is still young, so he will take advantage of these few years to accumulate popularity, film well, and build up his reputation. When the contract expires, I will definitely help him get an A-level contract."
"That's all it can do."
Li Xue looked at Mu Rong with complicated eyes.
Can Mu Rong accept this condition?
"Tell him carefully. If you are angry, you still need to have some foresight. Your arms cannot hold your thighs. Don't destroy yourself just because you are angry for a moment."
Patting her shoulder, Wang Jinghua looked at Mu Rong again, shook her head and sighed: "I still have something to do, please tell him properly!"
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Li Xue returned to Mu Rong with a complicated mood, and Mu Rong also ended the interview.
"Let's go in first!"
Li Xue took him to the elevator first.
Noticing that something was wrong with her expression, Mu Rong asked, "What's wrong? I just saw you and Sister Hua talking over there. Are they talking about me?"
When he asked about it, Li Xue didn't hide it. After a moment's hesitation, he said directly: "We are talking about your business. Sister Hua helped you negotiate with the company, but the company did not agree to change the contract."
After saying this, she quickly glanced at Mu Rong's face.
But unlike what she expected, Mu Rong's expression was very calm, as if he had expected it.
Not sure what he was thinking, Li Xue hurriedly explained: "Don't worry about the contract. The contract that has been signed is definitely not easy to change. Anyway, there are only four years left, and it will be over after filming a few movies."
.
I suggest that you complete the remaining few years of your contract and treat it as using the company's platform and resources to build popularity and visibility for yourself.
Sister Hua said that in the next few years, she will try her best to tilt her resources towards you, which means that she will try her best to support you.
And when the contract expires, she promises to help you get an A-level contract. This condition is still very good. You can film your scenes with peace of mind. Sister Hua will definitely not treat you badly, okay?
"
After listening to her persuasion, Mu Rong smiled: "The contract has expired. When my contract expires, I don't know whether Sister Hua will still be in the company or not. Will her guarantee count?"
"Why isn't she in the company?"
Li Xue was surprised: "Are you saying she will leave the company? How is that possible? She is the founder of the company!"
"Nothing is impossible."
Mu Rong said calmly: "Before Song Taizu ascended the throne, he called his generals brothers and sisters, but after becoming emperor, the first thing he did was to drink and release his military power."
"Are you saying that Mr. Wang wants to kill the donkey?"
Li Xue was not stupid and understood what he meant, but she couldn't believe it: "Mr. Wang will not be so stupid. It will not do him any good to force Sister Hua away. He will not do this."
Mu Rong smiled and did not explain any more.
Although he doesn't understand the situation at the top of the company, he understands human nature very well.
History has proven countless times that no matter how strong an alliance is, it becomes fragile in the face of interests.
When we founded the company, everyone had the same goal, to make money. If we think together and work hard together, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
But when it comes time to divide the pork, the contradictions will naturally come to the fore.
No one wants to share the meat in their mouths with others, even if they do, it is just to have more meat to eat in the future.
When the big and small kings brought Sister Hua into the game, they were interested in the artist resources in her hands.
Now that all her artist resources are under the banner of Huayi Company, it's time to put her foot down.
No one wants to put their financial lifeline in the hands of others. The Wang brothers are not willing, and neither is Sister Hua.
Sister Hua can't even decide the contract of a young artist like her, which means that the Wang brothers have begun to snatch the control of the artist from her hands.
An agent's control over artists is the lifeblood of everything. The Wang brothers want Sister Hua's life, and she will definitely not give in.
For now, she might be able to compromise and keep a low profile for a while.
But under the pressure of the Wang brothers, sooner or later they will fall out completely.
This is the inevitable result of conflict of interests and is due to human nature.
In fact, Mu Rong's guess was very accurate. In two years' time, Wang Jinghua would completely fall out with Huayi, and directly take away a large number of big-name artists from Huayi, causing a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.
However, he didn't know what would happen in the future. He just saw the underlying logic of the matter at a glance and analyzed an inevitable result.
After looking at the elevator floor number, Mu Rong said calmly: "Sister Xue, you don't have to persuade me anymore. In fact, even if Sister Hua can help me negotiate the contract, I have already decided to terminate the contract with the company."
"ah?"
Li Xue was shocked.
bite!
The elevator door opened and Mu Rong stepped out of the elevator.
Li Xue quickly followed out with an anxious look on her face: "Are you crazy?!"
