Next door private room
Shen Fang sat in a chair, a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking at the middle-aged women. They were of average appearance, plump, and not the kind of women who looked particularly kind. They had a certain air of authority and presence.
Wang Jinghua looked at Shen Fang with a smile: "President Shen, we meet again. How is Uncle Ming? I've worked with Uncle Ming for so many years, and it's really hard to say goodbye now. He was my first signed artist, and I got my business started with Uncle Ming."
Shen Fang nodded. What he said was indeed true. Wang Jinhua's success today was due not only to her own efforts but also to the great help she received from Chen Daoming.
Wang Jinghua, also known as Sister Hua, graduated from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, but because of her average appearance and average professional skills, she did not make a living in the opera industry.
After that, she went to work as a photographer at a travel agency, taking photos and doing odd jobs every day, which at least provided her with enough to eat and wear.
However, as a photographer, you can't save much money at the end of the year. When Sister Hua started working as an agent, she only saved 800 yuan from being a photographer.
Her becoming an agent was purely accidental, and her experience is quite legendary.
In the early stages of her life, two people were of great help to her; these two people can be considered important benefactors in her life.
One was her classmate Zhang Jinglin (later renamed An Wen), and the other was Chen Daoming, a big name in the film and television industry.
Let's start by talking about An Wen, the first benefactor in her life.
Anwen and Sister Hua got along quite well in college, but it was far from being a best friend relationship.
Anwen is kind-hearted and comes from a well-off family. This older sister can't bear to see others suffer or be poor, especially her old classmates.
She played the role of "Qingwen" in the 1987 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" before graduating from university, and subsequently became known to the audience.
It was from that time that she changed her name to "An Wen".
By chance, Anwen ran into her old classmate, Sister Hua. At that time, Sister Hua was still doing manual labor and running around buying soy sauce.
Seeing her old classmate's plight, Anwen felt sorry for her and introduced her to work at her husband's company.
An Wen's husband is Su Yue, and this guy is no ordinary person. He was the CEO of Tianxing Records in mainland China, and the big boss of Tianxing Records was the famous Hong Kong agent Chen Shufen.
Chan Suk-fan started her career as an agent and has a wealth of experience in the field. Many of Sister Fa's skills were learned from Chan Suk-fan during that time.
Upon arriving in Tianxing, Su Yue naturally took extra care of his wife's old classmate, directly assigning her two new recruits to mentor.
The two newcomers were Chu Qi and Chu Tong, and later Sister Hua gave them the name "brothers".
Sister Hua has a great eye for mentoring new talent. When she mentored these two brothers, the once-popular "Little Tigers" disbanded. Sister Hua seized this opportunity and quickly transformed the two brothers into a youth idol group, launching them into the market.
Unexpectedly, these two guys became famous back then, with a constant stream of commercial performances and endorsements, and Wang Jinghua also gained some fame in the industry as a result.
Subsequently, many singers began to approach Sister Hua and willingly became her artists, such as Gao Feng, Dai Rao, Bai Xue, and Li Huizhen.
Seeing how capable Sister Hua was, Brother Su Yue assigned her another challenging task: to be Chen Daoming's "nanny."
At that time, Chen Daoming had just won the "Flying Apsaras Award for Best Actor" for his role as "Fang Hongjian" in "Fortress Besieged". He was young, ambitious and riding high.
Not only is Brother Chen an outstanding actor, but he is also known for his bad temper. Before Sister Hua became his manager, he had already driven away several managers by scolding them.
When Sister Hua first started serving him, he would scold her mercilessly every day, but she never fought back or talked back.
She always believed that "if the boss (at that time, artists were all called bosses) scolded me, it meant that I had not done my job well enough."
With this belief in mind, Sister Hua did her homework thoroughly. She memorized every little detail, such as what Chen Daoming liked to eat and drink, and what time he arrived at the filming location each day, until Brother Chen could find no fault with him.
Gradually, Brother Chen got less and less angry at her, and eventually the two became close friends who could talk about anything (of course, don't get the wrong idea, Brother Chen's wife is much prettier than Sister Hua).
It wasn't until five years after they started dating that, at Chen Daoming's suggestion, Sister Hua established her first agency in mainland China, called "Black Sea Red Sun" agency.
Chen Daoming naturally became the first artist signed to Sister Hua's company. It was precisely because of Chen Daoming's influence that Sister Hua's agency was able to operate smoothly.
Back then, Chen Daoming was incredibly popular; he was a big name in the industry. The fact that he willingly signed with Sister Hua shows just how strong Sister Hua's personal charm and ability to get things done were.
As a result, many artists from mainland China took the initiative to approach Sister Hua and sign with her, such as Hu Jun, Li Lianhua, Ren Quan, You Yong, Su Jin, Cheng Qian and others.
As a result, Sister Hua became the "big sister" of these celebrities, enjoying immense fame and fortune for a time.
"It's alright, Sister Hua. You and Master have been old friends for many years. Get together more often for tea and a chat. Even though my Master is now signed with Longteng Media, that friendship is still there."
Wang Jinhua smiled and said, "Yes, President Shen is right. But I heard that Uncle Ming has taken on quite a few roles this year. Longteng's resources are truly enviable. In the future, Uncle Ming will only take on one role or one movie a year at most. Unlike now, he's so busy that he can't even breathe. President Shen, Uncle Ming is not young anymore. Please don't let him work too hard."
