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

Chapter 35 There is someone behind the scenes
1994 is a year that Xu Jinglei will never forget. At the age of 20, she met Wang Shuo, who was 36 years old, and her destiny changed from then on.

I think back then, Mr. Wang was the top writer and screenwriter in the country. His works were read by half the country, and every one of his works was a hit.

Teacher Wang is also accompanied by a group of top directors and screenwriter friends such as Zheng Xiaolong, Jiang Wen, Zhao Baogang, Mi Jiashan, Huang Jianxin, Feng Xiaogang, Liang Zuo and Li Xiaoming. This group of people controls the most core resources in the entertainment industry.

In order to make Xu Jinglei famous, Teacher Wang took great pains and used all available resources and power to let Xu Jinglei act in the TV series of Zhang Yibai, Hai Yan and Zhao Baogang one by one.

Xu Jinglei, who became an instant hit, has since become the envy of people in the industry because she has "someone behind her".

There are people behind this that Chinese people have dreamed of for thousands of years, whether it is in the business circle, politics, or the entertainment industry.

This is why Chu Hui is willing to deal with Jiang Wenli, and is very considerate and caring to her.

There is no other reason, just because Chu Hui hopes that he can have "someone behind his back" like Xu Jinglei.

Moreover, Chu Hui knew very well that Jiang Wenli was already the actress with the most background and resources that he could come into contact with.

If he didn't take advantage of this eldest sister, Chu Hui might have to go through detours for another two or three years before he has a chance to establish a firm foothold in this circle.

It is true that Chu Hui can take his time and work steadily for a few years, and sooner or later he will be able to make a breakthrough.

But Chu Hui didn't know how long he would have to work hard to achieve his goal.

If he can get Jiang Wenli's support, Chu Hui has reason to believe that his success will be much faster than before.

Although Jiang Wenli is not a big writer or a big capitalist, her connections and resources in this circle are also very impressive.

Of course, Chu Hui didn't want to rely entirely on Jiang Wenli, nor did he want to develop a long-term relationship with her. He simply wanted to use her to help him achieve his goals as soon as possible.

However, if Jiang Wenli could provide him with some money or help when he was preparing for his first drama or movie, then Chu Hui's rise would be faster and smoother.

Before leaving the crew of "The Beginning of Spring", Chu Hui also considered having a real fight with Jiang Wenli.

However, because the crew was crowded and had little opportunity to be alone, Chu Hui and Jiang Wenli could only stay in the ambiguous stage, and their relationship did not go into substantial depth.

May 1, morning.

Yanjing.

After returning from the filming of "The Beginning of Spring", the first thing Chu Hui did was to visit director Zhao Baogang at Silver Lake Villa.

In addition to visiting Zhao Baogang, Chu Hui also handed over the remaining 12 episodes of "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth" to Zhao Baogang.

As the saying goes, you need to be tough to make iron.

Even though Chu Hui is now close to Jiang Wenli, it will be difficult for him to gain the other party's trust if he doesn't show his due strength.

Zhao Baogang took the manuscript and said in confusion: "Is it finished so quickly? Is the quality guaranteed?"

Chu Hui vowed: "Don't worry, director, there is absolutely no problem."

Zhao Baogang also knew that Chu Hui had gone to film the movie "The Beginning of Spring" directed by Gu Changwei, so he asked him: "Didn't you make movies during this time? Where did you find the time to create?"

Chu Hui explained: "With such a director, in fact, I have already conceived the plot of the remaining 12 episodes and started writing."

"It just hasn't been revised and polished yet, so I delayed it until today and didn't show it to you for review."

After listening to Chu Hui's words, Zhao Baogang took the manuscript and briefly read it.

Due to the rush of time, Zhao Baogang couldn't calm down and take a closer look, so he said to Chu Hui: "In this case, you go back first."

"I'll have your aunt review it later to make sure you didn't write anything wrong, and then I'll have someone pay you."

Chu Hui didn't hesitate and replied: "Sure, I'll listen to you."

Zhao Baogang continued: "Don't be too happy, kid. If it's not written well, you'll have to take it back and rewrite it. Do you understand?" Chu Hui has confidence in the script and believes in a boss like Zhao Baogang. As for cheating him for 20 yuan, he immediately said readily: "I understand, no problem."

Seeing Chu Hui's correct attitude, Zhao Baogang nodded happily, and then said: "There is still a dinner party at noon, so I won't let you have dinner at home today."

Chu Hui nodded: "Okay director, I'll leave first. I won't disturb you anymore. Let's talk back." After saying that, he stood up.

"Well, go back."

Although he had confidence in Zhao Baogang's character, Chu Hui was still a little uneasy when he did not receive the 20 royalties.

On the way back by car, Chu Hui also considered various situations.

If Zhao Baogang really turns his back and takes his script without paying him, Chu Hui will go to their house to block him.

However, this is the worst plan. Chu Hui always feels that based on his understanding of Zhao Baogang, it should not be the case.

Another result was that Zhao Baogang was not satisfied with the next 12 episodes and asked Chu Hui to rewrite them.

If this is the case, Chu Hui would also find it difficult, because he originally copied this script, and he would not be original at all.

Even if Chu Hui wanted to rewrite it, he was not sure that he would be able to create a better plot.

Another result was that Zhao Baogang regretted it and returned the script to him without copying his script.

In this case, Chu Hui would have to go to other film and television companies to recommend his script, which would be a big headache just thinking about it.

The best result now is that Zhao Baogang is satisfied with the plot of the next 12 episodes and is willing to pay the royalties. Both parties are happy.

The next day, early in the morning.

Second Ring Road, in a rental house of 11 square meters.

Chu Hui was still asleep when he was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone.

The call was from Zhao Baogang.

Seeing that it was Zhao Baogang's call, Chu Hui lost all sleep and immediately answered the call.

After the call was connected, Zhao Baogang said straight to the point: "Huizi, your bank account number has not been changed, right?"

Chu Hui said hurriedly: "No, the director has not changed, it is still the same one as before."

Zhao Baogang said: "Sure, then I'll have someone pay you later. When you receive the money, call me back."

Chu Hui smiled and replied: "Okay director, thank you."

Just when Chu Hui thought Zhao Baogang was about to hang up the phone, the other party suddenly asked again: "Are you interested in serving as a co-screenwriter, like Shi Kang did on the "Struggle" crew, and I will give you another 10? "

10 yuan could buy him three months, or even five months. Chu Hui felt that the price/performance ratio was too low, so he declined: "Director, I'm sorry, I'm not interested."

Zhao Baogang didn't force it and said, "Okay, I'll tell you something else."

Chu Hui asked with great interest: "What's the matter, director? You tell me, I'll listen."

Zhao Baogang said: "If you create good works in the future, I must be the first to read them."

Without even thinking about it, Chu Hui replied: "Sure, I'll listen to you."

"Okay, let's do this first."

"Good director."
