China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 147 Teacher Huang Lei, let’s go to your house another day!

Wu Hongliang's meeting with Chu Hui this time was obviously well prepared. It was not just a simple cooperation, but he wanted to have a deep bond with Chu Hui.

Wu Hongliang began to notice Chu Hui more than a year ago, because during that time, Chu Hui starred in the two popular dramas "Soldier Assault" and "Struggle" that he followed.

Soon after, Wu Hongliang learned from Fan Bingbing that Chu Hui was not only good at acting, but could also write scripts. The hit drama "The Age of Naked Marriage", which he wrote and acted in, was his own work.

In addition, after watching the drama "Yanjing Love Story" written, directed and starred by Chu Hui last night, Wu Hongliang was surprised to find that Chu Hui, a new director, has unlimited potential and value.

Although he only watched two short episodes, in Wu Hongliang's view, Chu Hui's value and potential that can be tapped is even greater than that of Fan Bingbing.

Fan Bingbing is fire, she is a born star, and she is famous enough, but after all, she is just a female star, and her main job is acting.

Acting can be done by anyone as long as someone teaches it, but not all cats and dogs can do the job of directing...

Just like Feng Xiaogang of Huayi Brothers, why does the big and small king keep coaxing him and serving him like a father, and can't do without him at all.

There is no other reason, simply because Feng Xiaogang is a cash cow. As a commercial film director, his box office appeal cannot be replaced by any other director.

Wu Hongliang was optimistic about Chu Hui, so he told Chu Hui in detail about his ambition to list the company, and sincerely extended an invitation to Chu Hui.

Although Chu Hui has never made a movie, judging from his vision for film selection and the "Yanjing Love Story" that he wrote, directed, and starred in, his business intuition is definitely very sensitive and accurate.

If he can ride on the listing of Tang De Film and Television, Chu Hui can maximize his own interests in a short period of time with minimal effort.

But when it comes to movies, director Huo Jianqi is better at making artistic films, not commercial films, and there is a shortage of a commercial film director.

If Tangde Film and Television can sign Chu Hui, a new director, and form a deep tie with Chu Hui, why worry about failure?
Obviously, like the Huayi brothers of the Huang brothers, Wu Hongliang's Tangde Film and Television's goal is not to simply make money by making TV series and movies, but to cut leeks through listing financing.

However, in Chu Hui’s past life memory, Huayi Brothers was listed in October 2009, which is still one year and three months away from now.

As for the launch date of Tang De Film and Television, Chu Hui’s impression seems to be around February 2015.

Wu Hongliang had no idea, so he could only lie to him and said: "We will strive to be listed in five years. There should be no problem within five years."

Because in Chu Hui's memory, Wang Changtian's Enlight Media was listed in August 2011, more than three years faster than Wu Hongliang's Tangde Film and Television.

If the launch time of Tangde Film and Television is still the same in this life, Chu Hui might as well cooperate with Enlight Media.

Hearing Wu Hongliang's answer, Chu Hui said in a dumbfounded voice: "Dr. Wu, don't blame me for being harsh. Five years is too long."

Not long ago, Wang Changtian of Enlight Media also met with Chu Hui and discussed cooperation.

It is now July 2008, only 7 years away from August 2011, but 8 years away from 3.

Compared to Wu Hongliang's Tangde Film and Television, Chu Hui is obviously more willing to cooperate with Wang Changtian's Enlight Media.

However, due to some differences in the distribution of shares and cooperation, Chu Hui did not reach a cooperation with Wang Changtian.

Thinking of this, Chu Hui paused and asked Wu Hongliang: "Director Wu, when does your company plan to go public?"

When Chu Hui learned that Tangde Film and Television had plans and plans to go public, he was quite looking forward to it. After all, if you really want to make a lot of money and rely on honest filming, the process will be much harder and more difficult.

In just two or three years, Tangde Film and Television has also signed contracts with famous screenwriter Sheng Heyu, famous director Huo Jianqi, famous actors Fan Bingbing, Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Xueqi, etc.

So far, in order to make the company bigger and stronger, Wu Hongliang's Tangde Film and Television has joined hands to form in-depth cooperative relationships with top film and television superstars and industry leaders.

"Don't say five years, even three years is a bit too long. If Tangde Film and Television can be listed on the market within three years, it will barely be able to eat hot."

If Chu Hui is willing to cooperate with Tangde Film and Television in the next few years, it will be an important piece of the puzzle for the company's listing.

"If it takes 5 years, or 7 years, let alone the day lily, it will be cold, even if you eat shit, it will not be as hot as it is..."

Hearing Chu Hui's words, Wu Hongliang couldn't help but frowned and said with a troubled expression: "Director Chu, it's not that simple for a film and television company to go public. It's not something you can do just by thinking about it."

Chu Hui nodded: "Director Wu, I know this. It is indeed not easy or simple for a company to go public."

"I'm just telling you some of my opinions on your company's listing. I'm not discussing with you the difficulty of listing." "Huayi Brothers are preparing for the listing. You should be more careful than me." Clearly, they had invited me to join their company before, but I didn’t go.”

"Because at that time, I was still an unknown person, and they had more monks and less meat. Even if I went there, it would be soy sauce and I wouldn't get any good roles."

"At that time, many famous directors, actors, and singers in their company subscribed for Huayi's original shares. I heard that they were trying to get listed in the next two to three years. If it was quick, they would probably be listed next year..."

"Director Wu, tell me now that you have to wait another five years or so before Tangde Films can be listed on the market. Do you know how much time and opportunities you will waste in these five years?"

"To be honest, Mr. Wu, it's not that I don't believe in your strength. Unless you are sure to go public within three years, I will consider bundling and cooperating with you."

"Otherwise, I find it boring. The cycle is too long..."

Although what Chu Hui said was unpleasant and Wu Hongliang wanted to refute it, he had to admit that what Chu Hui said was true.

But Wu Hongliang also knows that there is no certainty that Tangde Film and Television will be listed on the market in about three years.

Since Wu Hongliang was not sure, he did not dare to talk nonsense to Chu Hui, so he could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​cooperating with Chu Hui.

As for Wu Hongliang's Tang De Film and Television, Chu Hui doesn't care whether he cooperates or not. Most of the film and television companies want to cooperate with him. What he lacks now is not money, but a strong background.

To put it bluntly, if there were people behind Chu Hui and the support of capital, if Chu Hui was given another five years, he might be able to list the company on his own, so there would be no need to discuss cooperation with Wu Hongliang...

However, as the saying goes, business cannot be done without justice. Although Chu Hui and Wu Hongliang did not reach a cooperation, they did not have any grudges.

The two of them talked and laughed together, had a sumptuous lunch and drank a few glasses of wine.

Chu Hui, whose career is going smoothly, is also a busy man now. He just had dinner with Wu Hongliang at noon, and was invited to have dinner with Zhao Baogang in the evening.

At this dinner, Zhao Baogang also introduced a friend to Chu Hui.

This person is none other than Teacher Huang Lei, who was directed by Zhao Baogang and nicknamed "Big Cat".

Teacher Huang Lei became a popular idol and star in the 90s. In 1995, he studied at Beijing Film Academy as a graduate student and served as a teaching assistant. In 1997, he stayed at the school to work as a teacher. He was only 26 years old that year.

In the past 10 years since he became famous, Mr. Huang Lei has become famous all over the world in the entertainment industry. Hai Qing, Yao Chen, Ling Xiaosu, Du Chun, etc. are all his students, and he has taught acting classes at Nortel for more than ten years.

Huang Bai, who became famous with "Crazy Stone", once said modestly: "According to seniority, I should call Huang Lei my master, because his students taught me."

Zhou Xun, the "Three Gold Award" actress, is recognized as "Mr. Zhou" in the entertainment industry, but when she comes to Huang Lei, she becomes a cute and down-to-earth "Niuniu".

Huayi Brothers Wang Zhonglei, a big businessman in the business district, is not allowed to call out "Mr. Wang" when he meets him, but when he comes to Huang Lei, he calls him "Lei Lei" in a smooth manner.

Just because the two met at a young age, they have known each other for many years.

The world-renowned violin master Lu Siqing is his "best friend".

……

It is true that Huang Lei has a high status in the industry and has a wide network of contacts, but Chu Hui does not envy his resume and contacts. Instead, he envies that he has a beautiful wife Sun Li at home.

Teacher Huang Lei did not regard himself as an outsider. When he met Chu Hui for the first time, he called Chu Hui "Huizi" just like Zhao Baogang.

Chu Hui didn't care and called him "Teacher Huang Lei" very respectfully. He toasted him with a few glasses of wine and expressed his admiration for him.

Seeing that Chu Hui, a junior, admired him so much, Huang Lei also felt respected, and his impression of Chu Hui soared.

Chu Hui also took this opportunity to say to Huang Lei: "Teacher Huang Lei, I heard that your cooking skills are very good. I wonder if it is an honor to come to your home to taste your cooking?"

Huang Lei was very happy and curious when he heard Chu Hui's praise, because he had always been satisfied with his cooking skills, but no one except his familiar friends knew about his good cooking skills.

Huang Lei smiled and asked: "Huizi, who did you listen to?"
