Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Before the two Bings and Gigi Leung signed the contract, the company chose to communicate with them in advance.

They were informed in advance about what to do and what not to do.

And they signed a violation agreement with them in advance. If the company is implicated due to the artist's personal reasons, the company has the right to terminate the contract on its own initiative, and the artist needs to compensate the company for its losses.

This contract template is not limited to Shuang Bing and others. In the future, all artists under Hengyu will sign according to this template.

As for the entertainment industry, Zhou Ziheng himself is in it, so he is very clear about certain things.

Many of these things are minefields.

Of course, Zhou Ziheng couldn't stop others from stepping on landmines.

He has no such ability.

The feet are on other people's bodies, so they can walk however they want, and Zhou Ziheng has no right to interfere.

All he can do is to be prepared in advance, and if anyone makes a mistake, he will kick them out without hesitation to avoid losses to the company.

After signing the contract with the two Bings and Gigi Leung, Hengyu did not hide the truth, nor could it hide it. It was very easy for reporters to find out these things.

Therefore, Hengyu directly held a signing ceremony.

The ceremony was not held in Hong Kong, but in Beijing.

As the 21st century draws closer, Hengyu will gradually shift its focus to the mainland, and this time is an attempt.

During this period, Florence Hui has already initially set up the branch in Beijing.

And recruited several artists.

By the way, they attended the signing ceremony together with Bing Shuang and Gigi Leung.

The signing ceremony took place at a newly built five-star hotel in Beijing.

Florence Hui invited some mainland reporters to raise awareness for Hengyu's entry into the mainland.

This is actually the first time Hengyu has held such a signing ceremony.

Before, when Hengyu signed Wu Zhenyu and others, there was no signing ceremony, not even a meal.

All I can say is that this group of people signed the contract at the right time.

On the same day, Zhou Ziheng also put down his work and rushed to Beijing, and met several other artists signed by Florence Hui in advance.

One is Zhou Xun, who is currently somewhat famous in mainland China, one is Chen Kun, who is studying at the Beijing Film Academy, and the other is Zhang Guoli.

The other two are not a big deal. Even though Zhou Xun is a little famous in the mainland at this time, it is actually just a small fame.

But Zhang Guoli is different. Born in 1955, this actor is a veteran actor in China.

Last year, he won the Best Actor Award at the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards for his role in the movie "Living in Beijing".

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, our company is not just for fun, but we sincerely intend to make a difference in Beijing.

When the company was first established, we decided to develop a big project, and you are the leading actor of this project.

In addition, I am actively contacting the copyright management agencies of Mr. Jin Yong and Mr. Gu Long's works, and will strive to obtain the rights to remake several classic martial arts dramas."

"I came here just for your drama Kangxi's Private Visits. I like this project very much. If it can be filmed well, it will definitely be a good project."

"Kangxi's Private Visits" is the opening work of Beijing Hengyu Film and Television Company.

Of course Zhou Ziheng couldn't write such a big script. He just provided some ideas and then invited Zou Jingzhi, the original editor of the TV series, to write it.

The writing of this drama started last year and was finally completed this year.

Zhou Ziheng remembered that this drama was a big hit in his previous life, and a total of three episodes were filmed.

It was with this TV series that Zhang Guoli finally became a top star.

After deciding to shoot this film, Zhou Ziheng did not consider anyone else, and directly asked Huo Wenxi to find Zhang Guoli with the script, and invited him to join Jingcheng Hengyu Film and Television with this drama as a bargaining chip. As expected, Zhang Guoli was immediately attracted after reading the script, and because he valued Zhou Ziheng's ability, he chose to join Jingcheng Hengyu.

After meeting Zhang Guoli, Zhou Ziheng went to meet Zhou Xun and Chen Kun.

Compared to Chen Kun, who was still a complete newcomer, Zhou Xun was no longer a newcomer at this time and had already starred in several dramas.

In 1995, the drama film "Daughter's Red Wine" co-starring with Fu Chengpeng and Gui Yalei premiered, in which he played the young Hua Diao.

This year, she co-starred with Cao Li in the comedy film "Little Wife", in which she played the smart and well-behaved Yangyang. Also this year, she participated in the art film "Feng Yue" directed by Chen Kaige, which was released in Hong Kong, in which she played a dancer.

Although her acting skills have begun to be recognized by the industry, her popularity is actually not as high as it is in later generations.

Therefore, she seemed very restrained during her meeting with Zhou Ziheng.

However, this restraint did not last long, only a moment. After seeing that Zhou Ziheng was very approachable and did not put on airs, her carefree personality immediately revealed itself.

“Ziheng, you are definitely my idol.

I started following you when you released your first album. I was also a resident singer in a nightclub at that time.

I knew you would be famous, but I didn't expect you to be so great. It's only been a few years! Not only have you become a world-famous superstar, you have also founded a large group company that covers film, television and music."

“I actually didn’t expect that myself!”

Hearing her praise, Zhou Ziheng also felt a little emotional.

When he first lived in a small hotel next to the train station, he had imagined that he would become famous.

But he didn't expect that he would be able to reach where he is today in just a few years.

All I can say is that fate has its way with people.

Of course, we also caught up with the dividends of the times.

This period was the era of grassroots rise.

As long as you have the ability, becoming worth hundreds of millions in a few years is not a dream at all.

Among the people Zhou Ziheng knows, there are many who were extremely poor before 1992, but now have incredibly rich wealth.

For example, the one at the Prince Hotel in Dongguan.

In 92, he did have some influence in Dongguan, but it was never visible to the public.

What about now? The Prince Hotel is well-known, and its service industry is booming. Up to now, his net worth has exceeded 1 billion, which is higher than Zhou Ziheng's.

All I can say is that the speed at which you make money in a legitimate business is indeed not as fast as in a niche business.

Speaking of this, that person had actually invited Zhou Ziheng to invest in his industry before.

Zhou Ziheng didn't agree.

If you agree...

……

The signing ceremony of Jingcheng Hengyu was small in scale, but its influence was extraordinary.

This is the first company in China to bring the signing model from Hong Kong and Taiwan to the mainland.

At the same time, the news that Jingcheng Hengyu announced that it would invest tens of millions to shoot "Kangxi's Private Visits" also spread widely in the country.

In 96, investing tens of millions in a TV series was definitely a big deal.

As soon as the signing ceremony was over that day, Zhou Ziheng was immediately surrounded by reporters, all asking questions about the project.
