Chapter 290 Happiness comes too suddenly

Star girl is the girl of Mr. Xing, especially the heroine in Zhou Xingchi's movies.

This statement originated from the "Bond Girl" of James Bond, the ace agent in the "007" series of movies. Later, the concept was quoted and spread in China.

Because Stephen Chow's movies are widely popular, Star Girl has always been a special existence in the domestic entertainment industry.

Not to mention the newcomers who are eager to be in the star's drama, even the popular actresses are flocking to him.

Lin Qingxia, Li Ruotong, Zhang Yan, Zhu Yan, Qiu Shuzhen, Mok Wenfu, Zhang Baizhi, Mei Yanxi, Liu Jiazhen...

These star girls are all very popular A-list actresses, and there are even a few actresses who have made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry by relying on their reputation as star girls.

When it comes to celebrity status and the speed of becoming famous, only Mou Girl can compare with Star Girl.

However, the output of Lao Mouzi's works is too low, and the speed at which female stars are admired is completely incomparable to that of Mr. Star. Even in terms of public recognition, Star Girl has received more attention.

Especially in recent years, Star Master has become more and more deified, and he is more and more fond of using new people, so every time Star Girl becomes the object of pursuit by the media and the public.

Among them, the most representative ones are Zhang Baizhi and Huang Shengyi.

With these two successful cases, Star Girl has become the best shortcut to success for new female artists in the entertainment industry.

But Zhou Xingchi is a withdrawn person in private, unlike what he shows in the movie.

Introducing resources and relationships within the circle, selling big bosses to gain face, all of them have no effect here.

After all, Xingye has established his own film and television company and agency, and his priority is to support the artists of his company.

Huang Shengyi and Zhang Yuqi were originally contracted artists under Stephen Chow's Xinghui Company.

It's just that the two of them later became financial sponsors, and soon they both started quarreling to terminate their contract, betraying the star who supported them so much.

But Zhou Xingchi's actions blocked many actresses and female artists from the door.

Unless there is a big investor who invests money and directly arranges with the star, it is difficult for ordinary actresses to have the opportunity to become a star girl.

Moreover, the film and television industry is similar to the venture capital industry, and most high-quality resources are digested internally.

When big directors like Zhou Xingchi come to raise funds, they basically talk to the big guys in the industry who are closest to them. They rarely go out into society like those small directors to beg their grandparents.

The bigger the director, the fewer investors there are.

On the contrary, for those films by unknown young directors, the list of sponsors can print several pages.

Therefore, even if the sponsors behind many actresses are rich, as long as they are not in the circle, they will not be able to do anything with the celebrity.

After all, Zhou Xingchi is Zhou Xingchi, which is why it has been a bit difficult for him to be suppressed by the Xiang family in recent years.

Once you have one or two more movies to prove yourself, you will naturally soar to the sky, no one can hold you back, and you will no longer be short of money for making movies in the future.

Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary newcomers to become star girls!

But just today, a group of female artists heard incredible news in the box.

Zuoyou, star girl?

How could they accept that such an opportunity to reach the sky fell on this silly little girl in front of them?

Not to mention Jiang Shuying, Che Xiao, Zhao Xiaodao and the others, even Huo Siyan, the courtesan of Huayi, was greedy.

Huo Huakui looked at Hua Yi's second brother with a resentful look on his face, stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Zhonglei's waist hard. Everyone could see the endless complaints in his eyes.

Because Wang Zhonglei once promised that the star girl in the movie "Xing Ye" must be her.

But later, because the script was not favored by Huayi's senior executives, Wang Zhonglei actually didn't plan to cast it, so Huo Siyan's originally confirmed star girl fell through.

Who would have thought that at today's wine party, she would watch the star girl being snatched away by Zuo You.

No one could understand Huo Siyan's unhappiness at this time. She had served Huayi's second boss diligently for more than half a year, but the best opportunity was taken away by an outsider. She wanted to die.

In the film and television industry, it is always the work that makes the artist successful, and there are very few cases where the reverse is true.

Becoming a star girl is not only a shortcut for actresses to achieve success, but also a key milestone for them to achieve a masterpiece in their acting career.

The role of Star Girl is one that countless movie fans will remember for many years.

There are only a handful of directors in China who can handle such an opportunity, and even Director Feng Pants, who is here tonight, is barely interested in this aspect.

At this moment, the female artists who had originally been laughing at Zuo You's jokes all looked at her with envy and hatred.

If possible, they would like to kill Zuo You on the spot and replace him.

After all, if you want to be in the entertainment industry, you will have to find a financial sponsor sooner or later. Then finding a young and handsome boss is not much better than those old men.

Zuo You was completely stunned at this moment, and couldn't believe what the big bad guy next to him just said.

She looked straight at Ma Liang and asked innocently, "Is it true?"

"Haha, little girl, just keep it in your heart. If Brother Ma invests tens of millions, how can he still be false?" Before Ma Liang could reply, Chai Jin answered for him.

The bosses who had dinner with Ma Liang before were all well aware of Ma Liang's investment in Xing Ye's movie.

Others looked over in shock again, looking up and down at Ma Liang.

To be able to achieve such great feats at such a young age, could it be that he is really the third generation member of a certain powerful family in the Forbidden City?

Feng Pants was the best at making trouble. He just picked up the cup and came over to toast again.

"Mr. Ma, let me toast you again!

Although my investment share in the current movie "Assembly" is not large, I still have a new movie in preparation.

This book is definitely a good one, and it also stars my old partner Ge You.

I will show you the script later and hope that we can have a chance to work together."

Without Feng Xiaogang's need to explain too much, Ma Liang knew which movie he was talking about. It was his most popular movie in recent years - "If You Are the One".

Don't look at it, it only had a box office of 260 million, but what is the concept of this achievement? It ranked third in the annual rankings at that time.

Second only to "Red Cliff", "Transformers 1" will definitely be equivalent to a box office volume of 2 billion+ in the era of box office explosion a few years later.

And the total investment is only 50 million, which is a bargain. How could Ma Liang not want to participate?

And the most important thing is that this film has become a big IP. Two years later, the box office of "If You Are the One 2" produced by Feng Pants almost doubled.

If you invest in the first film, you will naturally have priority in investing in the second film. After all, as a major investor, you must enjoy part of the copyright of the film.

"Director Feng, this is easy to say! Since you and Uncle Ge are cooperating again, is investing a big deal?

I will cover whatever is missing from Mr. Wang’s share that he doesn’t vote for,” Ma Liang replied happily.

The "If You Are the One" series of movies is not too comfortable to make quick money. Not to mention the box office revenue of theaters, the subsequent online on-demand rights alone may earn tens of millions.

This is the value of big IP and why film and television companies like to pursue big directors.

Feng Pengtang was very happy when he heard this: "Thank you, Mr. Ma, for trusting me. I will visit you another day with the script!"

Don't worry, I will personally arrange a good role for Miss Zuo when the movie is ready for filming."

Feng Xiaogang also wanted to be prepared with multiple hands. After all, everyone wants to be their own boss after working part-time.

He had been working for the Wang brothers, but actually he didn't make much money himself.

It's not like Feng Pengtong has never hinted at it, but the two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei have been pretending to be stupid and dangling him with big cakes in the past two years.

They said they were arranging options for him, but there has been no movement.

Feng Xiaogang was also a little suffocated, and he often planned to follow Wang Jinhua's example and break out of Huayi to go it alone and set up his own film and television company.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wang brothers strongly supported his movies and didn't have to worry about raising investment, he would have said goodbye to Huayi long ago, and it wouldn't have been delayed until today.

Now being able to hook up with a big boss like Ma Liang is also a kind of capital for him.

At least he won't be easily manipulated by the two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, and he has more negotiating weights on hand.

"Haha, then I'll thank Director Feng first for Yuzi!" Ma Liang replied politely.

He could tell what Feng Pants was thinking at a glance, but those were not important to him.

No matter how much investment share Huayi is willing to release from "If You Are the One", Ma Liang is willing to take it all.

But Zuo You was listening, his eyes immediately widened.

The matter with the star girl has not calmed down yet, and now there is another girl Feng. What happened today? Why do I feel that the grievances I have suffered during this period have not been in vain, so I came directly.

Star girl, Feng girl!

The happiness came so suddenly, she almost fainted with joy.
