China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 601 Huayi goes public, worth four or five hundred million?

In the future, as one of the young actresses born after 85, Zhao Liying’s ability to win the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actress, the first of the three major television awards, is closely related to the fact that she is an experiential actress.

As the most difficult of the three types of acting, experiential actors present characters that are more real and touching than those of method actors and expressionists.

However, there are also disadvantages to being an experientialist.

Some actors may get so immersed in their roles that they find it difficult to get out of them.

For example, when Hu Jun and Liu Ye starred in the movie "Lan Yu", they immersed themselves in the characters through experiential approach.

Then, after the filming was finished, the two really fell in love.
It takes a long time to extricate oneself.

Therefore, professional actors rarely take the path of experience, in order to avoid the situation of being immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.
As for non-professional actors, they are acting based on their own experiences, which is also experiential and harmless.

After listening to Wang Shu's long speech, Zhao Liying's round face was filled with happiness.

But soon she started thinking again, Wang Shu was an easy-going person, so could he be trying to make her happy?
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Wang Shu say, "I am not a professional either. I just worked as a minor actor at the gate of the Beijing Studio."

"As long as you work hard, you will have a chance to succeed."

This is poisonous chicken soup.

Under normal circumstances, there is no way to get ahead.

Even Wang Baoqiang was able to succeed because of his status as a "special actor".

However, toxic chicken soup is the best way to fool people.

Zhao Liying looked at Wang Shu's faint smile and immediately reacted.

Yup!

Wang Dao is also not a professional.

So what he said was not just to coax people.

But
and…

Wasn't he given the role because he fell in love with the actress at first sight during his last audition for Pacific Rim?

Is it because I am not a professional actor that I was given the role?
After the audition for Pacific Rim, Zhao Liying was invited to play the fourth female role in The Night the Comet Came.

This is pie in the sky!

Pie in the sky?
This is really ridiculous.

Thus, one of the three major illusions in life came into being.

Wang Shu probably had a crush on her, so he gave her the role of female No. 4.

This is the only reason that can best explain all this.

As for the reason for the liking for him, it was probably because they fell in love during the audition for "Pacific Rim".

now
It seems that is not the case.

It is very likely that Wang Shu just felt sympathy for her because she was not a professional actor and gave her a role.

Realizing this, all kinds of emotions suddenly emerged in Zhao Liying's heart.

There is a hint of embarrassment, a hint of loss, and a hint of inferiority
Seeing that Zhao Liying was silent, Wang Shu thought that she was savoring the chicken soup, and then he continued: "I believe that sooner or later, you will become a popular actress."

Zhao Liying curled her lips and said, "Director Wang, I've heard this many times."

"Ah?" Wang Shu was stunned.

Zhao Liying replied in a gloomy voice: "Someone has been saying this to me since my debut, and it has been said for several years."

Wang Shu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and deliberately teased: "It's okay, I'll tell you again."

"." Zhao Liying felt very angry when she heard that.

Wang Shu saw that she was aggrieved, so he said again in a serious voice: "I really didn't lie to you. With your attitude towards work, I believe that one day you can become a popular actress."

“Even if you have a baby face, you can still succeed.”

The last sentence is extremely impactful.

Zhao Liying has been rejected by many directors and missed many roles because of her baby face since her debut.

So much so that she herself began to doubt it.

Having doubts does not mean giving up.

On the one hand, I have doubts, but on the other hand, I refuse to admit defeat.

In the original timeline, she was able to get the role of the heroine in "The Journey of Flower" by going to the crew herself with the short film she shot and the biography she wrote.

The crew wanted to make "The Journey of Flower" into a hit TV series, and when they saw that the actress was so dedicated, they believed that she could act well and chose her.

Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Wang Shu seriously and asked, "Director Wang, do you really think that my baby face can be successful?"

Having been rejected so many times and told so many times that she cannot play the leading female role because of her baby face, anyone would have self-doubt, and Zhao Liying is no exception.

Therefore, she really needs recognition from others, especially recognition and affirmation from influential people in the circle.

Wang Shu is an Oscar-winning director. If he affirms it, it will undoubtedly make Zhao Liying see the light again and make her more confident about the future.

"Of course!" Wang Shu smiled and responded, feeling that this answer lacked persuasiveness, and then he continued, "I think you also know that actors who can become popular in the entertainment industry, in addition to being handsome and beautiful, usually have to have unique characteristics."

"There are countless beautiful actresses with oval faces in the industry."

"There are very few beautiful actresses with baby faces like you."

"It can be said that your baby face is what distinguishes you from those actresses with oval faces, and makes you more recognizable than other actresses."

"So, even though your acting skills are a little bit poor now, as long as you work hard, you will definitely become a popular actress in the future."

"That's what I said."

On October 10, Huayi went public.

On the first day of listing, Huayi's issue price was 28.58 yuan. It soared as soon as it opened, reaching a high of 91.80 yuan, a 221% increase from the issue price.

Overnight, Huayi’s three star shareholders Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong and Huang Xiaoming joined the ranks of billionaires.

Among them, Feng Xiaogang's net worth exceeds 2 million.

This was a huge rock that immediately caused a huge stir in the entertainment industry.

This year, except for Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, 500 million yuan in pay was the highest for mainland female stars.

A pay of 600 million yuan is the highest among male stars in mainland China.

Huang Xiaoming was just a popular young actor, but he became a billionaire overnight.

Feng Xiaogang is the highest-paid director in mainland China besides Wang Shu.

For a moment, I was extremely excited.

His cheerful appearance also made headlines in major entertainment sections.

Facing the reporter, Feng Xiaogang said excitedly: "I will work in this company till the end, and I will follow Wang Zhongjun till the end."

Then he did not forget to promote Huayi's stocks: "If there are Huayi Brothers shareholders here, let me tell you that Huayi Brothers' stocks are very valuable and definitely worth investing in."

The two Huayi brothers and their many celebrity shareholders suddenly became the hottest guys in the circle.

Among these handsome guys, there is one who is more dazzling than Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, Huang Xiaoming and others.

In the prospectus disclosed by Huayi, there is a star who is not affiliated with Huayi.

This person is Wang Shu.

He owns 500 million shares.

According to the rough calculation of 91.8 yuan per share, Wang Shu's net worth is about 4.6 million.
"Wow, this is a huge bargain for Wang Shu!" Everyone at Huayi was holding a celebration banquet and talking about Wang Shu. Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but explain in detail why Wang Shu owned 500 million shares.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jizhong couldn't help but complain.

Wang Zhongjun saw Feng Xiaogang, Huang Xiaoming, Li Binbin and others all looking over, and said in a deep voice: "He didn't just take advantage of others, he had a purpose."

"At the time, I really thought he didn't understand these things, and he just asked for a lot of money because he was stupid and had a lot of money."

"Now that I think about it, that's not the case at all."

"I should say that ever since his film The Wolf of Wall Street was released, I knew that was not the case."

"This guy must know more than anyone else, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make a good movie like The Wolf of Wall Street."

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that this time it wasn't because he was lucky, but because we happened to find him to cooperate, which gave him the opportunity."

After saying that, he looked at Li Binbin.

Li Binbin kept smiling. She didn't care what Wang Zhongjun thought.

Huayi Company is not hers, and she has indeed taken her career to a higher level through the drama "Travel to Taipei", and the shares she subscribed have not been reduced.

In this process, she was the one who always made money and never lost money.

If I have to say that I made a loss, it is that I regretted not subscribing for enough shares.

If he had subscribed for several million shares instead of three hundred thousand, he would probably be worth hundreds of millions like Wang Shu.

Not only did she regret that she subscribed for too few shares, she also regretted that she had known that Wang Shu was an expert and had consulted him at that time. By now, she might have millions of shares and be worth hundreds of millions.

In fact, everyone at this celebration banquet made a profit and no one lost money.

However, Wang Shu, who is not a member of Huayi, owns 500 million shares and is estimated to be worth to million yuan, which makes many people feel unbalanced.

They thought that if they got these shares, everyone's net worth would increase significantly.

Profiting less means losing money.

Especially when seeing Wang Shu making a lot of money, he felt both unhappy and unbalanced.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing, Mr. Wang Zhonglei said, "In fact, Enlight Pictures was able to invest in Pacific Rim because Wang Changtian and Wang Shu exchanged equity."

"It's not clear how much was exchanged, but as far as I know, it happened."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Zhongjun and said, "So, what Big Brother said is right. This guy was able to make the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street". He must know more than anyone else."

“Maybe he only half understood it before, but then he did a lot of homework for The Wolf of Wall Street and finally understood it.”

“Or maybe it’s because he knows a little bit about these things that he was interested in filming The Wolf of Wall Street.”

He did not think that Wang Shu understood it very well from the beginning, but rather that Wang Shu only understood it halfway. Because of his interest in this area, he bought the copyright of "The Wolf of Wall Street".

In order to make this movie well, I did a lot of homework and opened up my Ren and Du meridians.

It can be said that if there had not been the film "The Wolf of Wall Street" as a prelude, it would have been incredible for Wang Shu, a nobody who had never attended college, to engage in various financial arrangements.

Now, everything has a traceable path.

When Feng Xiaogang and others heard this, they all took a deep breath.

After Huayi went public, Wang Shu owned 500 million shares and his net worth jumped to to million.

If Wang Shu also owns 500 million shares of Guangxian, and when Guangxian goes public and its stock price also soars, wouldn't his net worth be worth 10 billion?
this.
It's hard to accept!

Many people in Huayi, including Feng Xiaogang, were unhappy with Wang Shu. When they learned that Wang Shu might be worth 10 billion in the future, their originally happy mood suddenly soared.

"Mr. Wang, do you know how much shares Wang Shu owns in Guangxian?" Feng Xiaogang couldn't help asking.

He was so excited about his net worth exceeding 2 million that he even walked with a slight dizziness. But when he learned that Wang Shu not only had shares in Huayi but also shares in Guangxian, he stopped smiling.

Wang Zhongjun saw everyone looking at him and shook his head, "I don't know about that."

"However, since Wang Shu even has shares in Guangxian, it is obvious that he understands this business."

Huang Xiaoming was thinking about something and suddenly said, "Boss Wang, Director Feng, since Director Wang knows this business, does he have any other financial operations besides owning the shares of Huayi and Guangxian?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and like a huge rock that caused a thousand waves.

Everyone present was suddenly enlightened.

Yes.

Since Wang Shu understands this business.

It doesn't make sense to only own shares in Huayi and Guangxian?
There must be other financial operations, they just don’t know about them!

hiss~
I don't know who took a deep breath, which made Feng Xiaogang and others feel very annoyed.

Director Feng is not only hypocritical, but also petty.

When he has conflicts with others, he will always keep them in mind and take revenge if he has the chance; if he doesn't, he will endure it.

But if he has offended other people, he will ask others to be magnanimous and not to be petty.

All in all, pretty selfish.

Now that he knows that Wang Shu is not only an Oscar-winning director and has shares in Huayi and Guangxian, but is also likely to own even more wealth, he feels extremely upset and unhappy.

Simply put, he just can't stand seeing Wang Shu do well.

"Why didn't you beat me up at that time?" Zhou Xun said on the phone to Wang Shu.

"Is this a question of whether I should beat you up or not? It's because you don't want to renew your contract with Huayi." Wang Shu replied helplessly.

What Zhou Xun meant was that she also had the opportunity to subscribe to Huayi’s shares last year, and Wang Shu also advised her against it, but she still missed it.

As for the reason why she didn't want to subscribe to Huayi's shares, it was also very simple.

First, last year, Huayi President Wang Zhonglei publicly claimed that "Li Binbin is Huayi's No. 1 actress" and "Li Binbin is Huayi's money-making queen", which gave the outside world the impression that Zhou Xun, who also belongs to Huayi, lost the competition for the title of "No. 1 actress".

This made Zhou Xun lose face and became a joke.

Second, she had already planned to leave Huayi and did not want to renew her contract with Huayi.

Third, as the highest-paid actress in mainland China besides Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, she is a small wealthy woman.

She doesn't understand finance and looks down on Huayi's shares.

Fourthly,
In short, various reasons prompted her not to subscribe to Huayi's shares.

Wang Shuyou advised her and told her that the profits would increase several times.

Zhou Xun always insists on not listening to advice.

The little rich woman has money in her hands and is angry, so she is willful.

Wang Shu also knew that Zhou Xun was not short of money.

As long as you have money, all you want is to be happy.

After persuading him several times, seeing that there was no effect, he stopped persuading him.

After all, you can't really beat her up and force her to subscribe, right?

Not to mention that the little rich woman is not short of money, so it doesn’t matter if she misses it.

Whatever happens, just be happy.

For example, in the original timeline, Zhou Xun never had any children.

She has more money than she can spend, so doesn't she end up leaving it to her relatives?

So what if I subscribe to Huayi’s shares?
To her, it was just a number that she could not use up and could only leave to her relatives.
