In this world's China, there are five entertainment companies that are at the forefront in terms of star-making ability, business capabilities and influence, namely Tenghui, Penguin, Huayu, SN and PYY.
The stars at the top of the entertainment industry pyramid today all have the shadow of the Big Five behind them to a greater or lesser extent. From this perspective, we can get a glimpse of the influence of the Big Five.
In today's information age where Internet media is the main means of communication, it is really difficult to stand out in this increasingly turbid pond without strong financial support or a huge network of relationships.
It is precisely for this reason that when Wei Shaoyan contacted Kui Dongqiang's agent, although the other party did not speak in a high-profile manner, his actions still showed the arrogance of a big company.
She asked Wei Shaoyan to go there in person to discuss the matter instead of choosing to visit him in person.
Wei Shaoyan was obviously used to such requests, so he agreed without thinking.
When Qin Sheng returned to the office after finishing his takeaway, he happened to run into Wei Shaoyan who was packing up scripts and contracts.
"What? Where are you going?"
Glancing with interest at the energetic young man, Wei Shaoyan, whose hair looked a bit unruly thanks to the hair oil, Qin Sheng smiled and waved the briefcase on his chest.
"You're dressed so provocatively, are you going on a date?"
"Go away." Wei Shaoyan straightened his briefcase and said, "Don't fucking touch my bag. It's a limited edition. If you break it, you're going to compensate me."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Qin Sheng smacked his lips in admiration. "Incredible! Director Wei has done a really good job of preserving his reputation."
"Tsk." Wei Shaoyan snorted, his expression slightly smug.
"But as your friend, I still want to remind you that your shirt buttons are wrong."
"grass?"
Wei Shaoyan was stunned and looked down, it was true!
But at this time he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death, so he still said,
"You know shit! This is the latest trend this year. It's called the wrong buttoning of the shirt, okay? Everyone wears it this way at Paris Fashion Week."
"Oh wow?
"That's awesome, Peppa Pig! This is called a toad on a frog. It may look ugly, but I'm very good at playing with it."
Qin Sheng nodded as if it was a matter of fact.
"I've learned, I've learned. It's true that you never stop learning."
"Oh, country bumpkin, just learn more."
Curling his lips and snorting coldly, Wei Shaoyan walked straight forward without saying a word.
However, as he was walking, when he heard the sound of a door closing, he lowered his shoulders as if he had wilted, hurriedly unbuttoned his clothes, and began to tidy them up.
"Damn it, luckily I'm smart enough, otherwise I would have been laughed at by that bastard Qin Sheng for a long time..."
Just when he was relaxing, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Sheng's smile appeared in sight. That smile was three parts sarcastic, four parts cold, and seven parts profound...
"You...why the hell are you following me? I'm going to work, not to play!"
Wei Shaoyan, who was exposed on the spot, roared in anger, but Qin Sheng just twisted his neck nonchalantly.
"Alright, isn't it just Kui Dongqiang who asked you to go over for a discussion? Come on, you lead the way, and I'll follow to see the world."
"That's not good. Who would just throw out a bomb right away during a negotiation? What if the other party sees you and decides to raise the price?"
Wei Shaoyan knew this business very well. It was just like buying vegetables, you had to bargain. Besides, Qin Sheng's money plus his own investment was only about seven million. If the other party asked for a salary of several million, then would the film still be shot?
"It's okay. Today I'll be your little brother. You talk and I'll just watch."
"You said so, then I will say you are my deputy."
"Okay, let's go."
…
In fact, Qin Sheng did not come here to look for a job because he had nothing to do. He just thought about it for a while and decided to go and see what kind of character Kui Dongqiang had.
After all, he had said a long time ago that he, Qin Sheng, would not want an actor with bad character, even if he was a movie emperor.
This is the bottom line and also his unchanging principle of employing people.
Soon, the taxi arrived at the Tenghui Entertainment headquarters in the city center. The two paid and walked directly into the building entrance. After talking to the front desk lady, the lady said that Kui Dongqiang was exercising in the gym. Upon hearing this, Wei Shaoyan politely asked the lady to inform the other party. The lady readily agreed, and the two sat on the sofa in the lobby and waited quietly.
Qin Sheng didn't have much objection to the fact that he still had to wait even though he had made an appointment.
No matter how big a star you are, you act so arrogantly. It is normal for me to be treated like this in this circle since I have no fame and no qualifications.
Just wait...
It's nothing more than starting from scratch.
It's no big deal.
Thirteenth floor, gym.
Many men and women with good figures are sweating on the treadmills.
Most of the people here are artists under Tenghui. Since the company has very strict requirements for artists, they are also required to exercise in the gym for more than two hours every day.
The sturdy man lifting the barbell in the middle is Kui Dongqiang. He doesn't look feminine, but rather exudes a masculine aura from the inside out.
This is not easy to achieve in today's world where young and handsome men are rampant. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a pearl in the ocean.
"Akui, Wei Shaoyan is here to see you."
A middle-aged woman in a smart business suit hurried to his side and reminded him,
"This is the first crew to come to our house in six months. Just pack up and leave."
Kui Dongqiang glanced at her and said impatiently, "Hey, Sister Jing, I know, why are you so anxious? It's just a small production crew with a budget of several million."
"What do you mean? This is..."
The agent was about to speak up for help, but was interrupted by Kui Dongqiang.
"Have you read their script?"
"No." The agent, known as Sister Jing, shook her head. "So I asked Wei Shaoyan to bring the script."
"Heh." Kui Dongqiang scoffed and continued his snatch. "Sister Jing, you know my situation well. It's impossible to turn things around with just a low-budget production. Besides, I've never even heard of their director."
"You mean, you refused?" the agent said with some embarrassment, "But I already agreed to discuss it. Besides, you don't have any recent announcements or plans, so there's no conflict at all."
Thinking about the performances that the company has arranged for me in July, if there is enough time, there will not be much conflict between the two.
Thinking of this, Kui Dongqiang wiped his sweat with a towel.
"Okay then, let's go down and meet him."
"Don't you want to take a shower?"
Kui Dongqiang glanced at the new agent and smiled deeply, "Not showering is the only way to show how impatient I am."
The agent thought about it and suddenly realized, "That's true."
