One after another, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei of the Chinese Brothers, along with Feng Kuzi, the up-and-coming director Lu Chuan, Wang Jinhua leading Li Lianhua, Song Jia, Huang Shengyi, Hu Jun, Geng Le, Huo Siyan, Jia Nailu, Liu Yun, Xiong Naixin, Ma Baozi, An Juncan, Bao Jianfeng, Cao Weiyu, Cao Li, Che Xiao, Chen Xiao, Chen Zihan, Su Youpeng, Zhang Hanyu, Zhang Junning, Gong Beibi, Gong Xinliang, Guo Jiaming, He Zhuoyan, He Manting, Hu Jing, Hu Ke, Jiang Hong, Jing Chunjun, Jing Gangshan, Li Chen, Li Lin, Li Naiwen, Li Qian, Li Xintong, Xue Jianing, Yang Lixin, Yao Chen, Yao Lu, Yong Mei, Yu Zhen, Yuan Shanshan, Yuan Wenkang, Yang Zi, Zhang Chenguang, Zhang Zhijian, Zhao Chunyang, Zhao Yi, Zhu Yongteng and dozens of other artists arrived at the event.
Shen Fang glanced at Wang Zhongjun leading a large force over and was overjoyed. This was a show of strength, an attempt to put him down.
However, Shen Fang didn't care much. He believed that quality mattered more than quantity, and his own artists were all stunningly beautiful, with handsome and stylish men. Among the older generation were mainland veterans like Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, and Chen Daoming, a leading figure in the entertainment industry.
I wouldn't say one could take on ten, but one could easily take on five. Besides, having too many artists is also a problem; there's no point in signing people who aren't particularly promising.
However, Huang Bin and Chang Jihong didn't see it that way. They both drooled over the Chinese-American artists, especially Huang Bin. He had too few male artists under his wing. Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, and Wang Gang were all incredibly talented, but he couldn't really manage them. They were veteran actors, respected figures in the industry. Their commercial value was limited, so they wouldn't accept many offers, and they had to carefully select endorsements.
The only ones he could really arrange were the four young men. Huang Bo was honestly a bit too ugly for Huang Bin's liking, but since Huang Bo was the boss's classmate and they were close, he would definitely arrange things for him. However, he couldn't do anything about Huang Bo's looks; he couldn't exactly have him do endorsements or magazine shoots—who would buy them? Who would read them?
That means Huang Xiaoming, Pan Yueming, and Deng Chao are the three who can be used.
But what good are these three? Even if they worked 24/7, they couldn't compete with Chang Jihong's commercial value.
I'm determined to achieve results. I've got my eye on the director position. Recently, Huang Bin has started poaching talent from all sides, not caring about saving face or anything else. He's shameless, using both coaxing and deception to get any promising candidates into the company and build up the team first.
Xiong Naixin glanced resentfully at Chen Fang, who was dressed in a white suit, smiling, with a cigarette in his mouth, chatting and laughing with his new boss.
It's been so long since I've seen him, and this man has become even more handsome.
Song Jia leaned closer and said, "Stop looking. This man is not someone you can control."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Naixin's face darkened: "What's it to you?"
Huang Shengyi, standing to the side, couldn't stop laughing: "You can't forget her after just one day as her ex-girlfriend? Pshaw, she's already forgotten you. Stop dreaming."
Xiong Naixin sneered, "What's it to you? I at least let his girlfriend go for a day. Get out of here."
Yao Chen, Huo Siyan, and Jia Nailu, who were standing nearby, all gathered around.
"Naixin, you've talked to President Shen?" Huo Siyan looked at Xiong Naixin with disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Naixin said proudly, "That's right, I was his first girlfriend."
Huang Shengyi scoffed, "Stop trying to make yourself look good. You know exactly what happened. They didn't even fancy you. Pshaw."
Xiong Naixin was furious and glared at Huang Shengyi: "What do you mean?"
Huang Shengyi was about to continue her mockery when Song Jia stopped her.
"Forget it, there are so many big shots here today, let's not cause trouble."
Huang Shengyi nodded upon hearing this, glanced at Xiong Naixin disdainfully, and left. Her future was more important. With so many seniors present today, causing trouble here was not a wise move. Getting to know one or two more seniors and building connections was the real key.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Xiang, this is Mr. Wang, who is of Chinese descent."
Wang Zhongjun shook hands with the two men.
"Welcome to the mainland, both of you. I'll be hosting tonight, you must come!"
Albert Yeung glanced at Shen Fang, who smiled at Wang Zhongjun.
"Mr. Wang, I've made arrangements for tonight. How about tomorrow? Mr. Yang and Mr. Xiang are here for a collaboration and will be staying in Beijing for a while, so there's no rush."
Wang Zhongjun glanced at Shen Fang. He had come with such a grand display today to compete with Shen Fang, but Shen Fang completely ignored him and didn't seem to care about his show of force. He also wanted to win over Albert Yeung and Charles Heung; he knew Shen Fang had a major collaboration with Hong Kong, and he wanted to get involved. However, it seemed these two wouldn't give him any face.
Wang Zhongjun nodded: "Alright, tomorrow. I'll treat you tomorrow. Fine wine and delicious food, look forward to it."
Albert Yeung smiled and said, "Mr. Heung and I will definitely be there tomorrow."
Wang Zhongjun nodded, turned and left. He stopped talking nonsense about the big-name artists in Hong Kong and wondered if he could sign a few to the Chinese community to give them some prestige.
As Wang Zhongjun left, Albert Yeung smiled at Shen Fang and said, "Shen Fang, this guy is quite interesting. He's trying to poach your talent right in front of you, and you're still giving him face? That's not like you."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I don't want to dominate the mainland film and television industry, nor can I. Huayi has also put his heart into developing the film and television industry. As long as he doesn't become my enemy, he's doing it all to help the mainland film and television industry develop and save face. I don't want to cause him any trouble. Besides, do you think I would personally get involved in a fight with him? Don't I have any dignity?"
Hearing this, Xiang Huaqiang laughed and gave a thumbs up, saying, "President Shen is so domineering."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "As long as everyone has food to eat, that's fine. The overall situation is more important."
Albert Yeung and Charles Heung exchanged a glance. This President Shen was becoming more and more like a proper princess. Shen Fang didn't take Wang Zhongjun seriously at all. They were not on the same level. Shen Fang only found his provocations amusing.
"Hahaha, Mr. Shen, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xiang, I'm late."
Just then, the fat man walked over with a short-haired beauty, and Chen Fang took a closer look. Good heavens, it was Du Xiaoyue, oh no, it should be Yuan Li.
Tsk tsk, that fatso and this guy got entangled and really infuriated Princess Jin Qiaoqiao, almost causing her to lose her baby.
