Chapter 3 Huayi
Hearing Huang Wen's words, Xu Hui frowned and thought for a long time, but shook his head: "No, I won't be an actor!"
Xu Hui looked down on actors from the bottom of his heart. He thought that actors were actors and directors were artists!
Is it possible to let him be an actor now?
"Do you know what camera position, light, light, focus is?"
It is true that Huang Wen is an agent, but he is still experienced in film and television production, so he asked a few basic knowledge about directors.
"…Haha, Brother Huang, you may not know that I applied to the Director's Department of Beijing Television before, so I still have the theoretical knowledge of the director!"
"So what? Do you have a way to make the issuing company believe you?"
"I have so many fans, my movie..."
Xu Hui wanted to argue for himself, but Huang Wen interrupted him again: "Xu Hui, just listen to my advice, I won't harm you! You should first participate in a few movies and be familiar with the production process of domestic movies. When you are a director, you will laugh out loud if you spread it!"
Xu Hui was slightly stunned.
He knew that if he announced the direction of the movie, there would definitely be a lot of opposition, but relatively speaking, once the works he made were at a normal level, these people would be impressed!
However, Huang Wen's words reminded him that with his current appeal, it is impossible to find a decent behind-the-scenes team!
Without a distribution company, you can figure out a way, but without a behind-the-scenes team, the movie will never be shot no matter what!
Seeing that Xu Hui seemed to be a little moved, Huang Wen added to the fire: "You can also think about how to shoot your first movie while filming, which personnel behind the scenes are found, and which actors are found. These are all time."
This is true. My current identity is a young and handsome guy and idol!
Idol is of course a God-like existence to fans, but it seems like a joke to my peers - it’s just a skin and an egg!
When they see the huge energy that fans can burst out in movies, they will know that having a good skin can really be better than honing good acting skills dozens of times!
"Okay, then you'll bring the script tomorrow, I'll pick a few dramas..."
"…Xu Hui, although our Huayi has produced many movies, most of the characters have been decided."
"It's okay, I won't compete for roles with people!"
"Okay, let's go to Huayi together tomorrow!"
...
Night, three o'clock.
A mansion in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.
A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties roared at home: "What does it mean? What does it mean when he is missing?"
"President, we have searched all over the company and dormitory buildings, but we couldn't call him, so we suspected..."
"What do you doubt? Say it quickly!"
"We suspect he has returned to China!"
Lee Sooman, well, this man is the president of Star Museum Entertainment Company, Lee Sooman.
By the way, this guy is quite funny. He actually named his company S, M!
After a while, Li Xiuman's voice returned to its original state: "...Is there any sign before?"
"There is no sign of this... No, President, Xu Hui once mentioned to me that he wanted him to be in his personal studio in China, but I rejected it... Do you think it would be because of this that he..."
"You did a great job. If I were replaced by me, I wouldn't agree!"
Li Xiuman snorted coldly: "Why don't these people think about it? Without us, how could they get the opportunity to become famous? Now they have to betray the company for a little benefit! They still want to return to China to develop, so dream! The HOT back then was not good, Dongfang Shenqi, why is he Xu Hui?"
Li Xiu was full of anger, and his words were still full of gritting teeth.
“…President, what should I do now?”
"Hmph, wait! Wait for him or the person behind him to contact us!"
"…The person behind him? Oh, I understand! The president is really a clever idea. What the president means..."
"Don't talk about those useless things, I ask you, what are the reactions of the other members?"
Li Xiuman didn't give this subordinate time to perform at all, so he asked directly.
"...It's all good, except Heechul, he insisted that we forced Xu Hui away!"
"It's okay, that child is loyal. This is a good thing. Is there any other thing? What's Choi Siwon's reaction?"
"Shiyuan didn't have much emotional change, but it was because of the Chinese members of SJ-M who were clamoring to increase the share ratio. President, look..."
"Don't pay attention to them, Xu Hui is gone, SJ-M will be stranded for the time being. By the way, have you notified Vice President Kim Young-min?"
“…Not yet, we will call you first.”
"Okay, call Kim Young-min immediately. We...the company gathers at five o'clock and discusses countermeasures!"
Li Xiuman looked at the watch on his left hand and said the time to gather.
...
The next morning, Xu Hui followed Huang Wen into the Huayi Company.
He was greeted by the second-in-command Wang Zhonglei, who has always served as the general manager of Huayi Film and Television, so he was the one who showed up the most in public.
"Xu Hui, it is definitely an honor for us Huayi Brothers to join us Huayi Brothers!"
"Mr. Wang, you are so polite. I should thank you for accepting me, a poor and homeless person!"
After a while of greeting, Wang Zhonglei said: "Don't worry about termination of the contract with SM. We have read that contract and are simply crazy to exploit! We have arranged a lawyer, and they say that the probability of the lawsuit is very high."
“…Thank you, Mr. Wang.”
"Don't always call me Mr. Wang, call me Brother Zhonglei! By the way, do you want to continue making music or filming when you return to China to develop this time? I think your image is quite suitable for being an actor."
"I want to be a director!"
"…director?"
Wang Zhonglei was stunned.
Are you kidding?
You are the director?
Huayi started out with Feng Xiaogang, so of course he attaches great importance to the director.
They are willing to believe in the power of directors. They feel that as long as there is a director, there will be everything. Of course, they only believe in director Feng Xiaogang!
It's not right, it should be said that they are willing to believe in experienced and capable directors.
Wang Zhonglei looked down on people who changed careers and wanted to be a director the most.
So, Huayi missed "33 Days of Love Break", a work that invested tens of millions in exchange for a box office of nearly 400 million yuan. Its director Teng Huatao and Wang Zhonglei are friends, and they often play basketball together. Why did Huayi brothers not invest? It is because Teng Huatao is just a TV series director;
Missed "Lost in Thailand", the investment company Xu Zheng was looking for at the beginning must be Huayi, and Huayi brothers also refused because they did not believe that Xu Zheng, who was born in an actor, could direct a good movie;
However, later, they were willing to support the new director, He Jiong's "Gardenia Blossom", Huang Lei's "Trouble Family"...
I probably realized the benefits of having a fan team.
But that happened after 2015. Now it is 2008. Do you think Wang Zhonglei will promise to let Xu Hui, a 24-year-old idol, enjoy the director's addiction?
In an instant, the two fell into an embarrassing situation.
"Mr. Wang, this is his ultimate goal. At this stage, of course, it is to accumulate experience in acting."
