Chapter 331 The Relationship Between Celebrities and Their Agents/Assistants

Take Wang Jinhua for example. She can directly ask for roles in major production teams and get them if she wants them. Of course, she doesn't only give roles to male and female leads, but the roles she gives to artists are definitely suitable for them, like Li Lianhua and Fan Xiaopang in the beginning.

At first, both Fan Xiaopang and Wang Jinhua had psychological burdens. They both felt that they were Wan'er and were unwilling to play some villainous roles or ugly characters. Simply put, they couldn't let go of their pride. Wang Jinhua directly scolded them without giving them any face and told them that if they didn't want to act, they should go home and have children.

The two followed Wang Jinhua's advice and their careers flourished. Wang Jinhua had her own definition for each of her artists, and this definition always made them famous. Wang Jinhua was one of the earliest people to play with personas, and she did it exceptionally well.

Another example is Bai Baihe. She started as a nobody, but after Wang Jinhua released her manager, she was given a carefully crafted public image, and her resources skyrocketed. She eventually landed a top-tier role in "Monster Hunt," achieving instant fame. Wang Jinhua's contribution was undeniable.

Needless to say, Chen Daoming and Hu Jun are also well-known.

Huang Bin doesn't need to be a big name; just take two examples: Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Xiaodao. Both of them became top-tier artists under his guidance. Moreover, he has also released several films, the best of which, "Our Times," won the box office champion among youth films, which shows his prowess.

Chang Jihong goes without saying; she's a long-time veteran.

Having said that, let's talk about the bad ones. Baoqiang's agent made things really difficult for him. Of course, this could also be a premeditated publicity stunt, but regardless, his agent was ruthless enough to turn down one of Wang Baoqiang's best opportunities at the time, "Running Man," and almost ruined his career.

Needless to say, assistants are like family, always by your side, closer than family. If you don't get along with your assistant, it'll be difficult to handle if someone tries to cause trouble. But generally, no one's that stupid.
