I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 37 Feng Dapao's Jealousy
After a while, Wang Jinhua looked up at Fan Shuangbing and said, "Bingbing, do you think you can compete with Li Shuangbing?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Shuangbing immediately fell into deep thought.

She was a smart woman and understood what Wang Jinhua meant.

The company is only so big. If you want resources, you have to fight for them and get into conflicts with other female stars.

She and Li Shuangbing were the company's most sought-after talents, but she knew that she was not as outstanding as Li Shuangbing in the company.

In the year 2000, Li Shuangbing became well-known for her role in "Young Justice Bao", and later won the Best Actress Award at the 13th Singapore International Film Festival for her role in the film "Going Home for the New Year".

Soon after, Li Shuangbing landed an Olay advertisement, earning 26 yuan from the single deal, which made the company's artists extremely envious.

Also in the year 2000, at the age of 19, she had just debuted with the role of "Jin Suo" in "My Fair Princess" and was known as the "most beautiful maid".

However, Fan Shuangbing disliked this title very much because Liu Xuehua, a former actress known for her roles in Qiong Yao films, initially recommended her to play Ziwei, but she ended up as a maid.

It's no wonder Fan Shuangbing was angry that the leading lady was reduced to a supporting actress.

Perhaps because of resentment, she repeatedly tried to steal the spotlight in the play, wanting to prove that she was no less capable than the two main characters, but this made the two main characters unhappy and also made Qiong Yao resentful.

Qiong Yao even went so far as to say, "In my eyes, Fan Shuangbing will always be a maid."

Back then, as a nobody, she certainly didn't dare to refute Qiong Yao. Although the role was very popular, her salary was many times less than that of the lead actor, and she only received a little over 10,000 yuan.

That's why she's been using every means to climb the ladder these past few years, trying to prove herself, that she's not a servant, and that she's no less capable than Zhao or Ru.

After joining Huayi, she competed for resources and the top spot, which led to a huge conflict with Li Shuangbing and gradually changed their friendly relationship.

The two thus became competitors within the company.

Not long ago, Huayi Brothers prepared to start filming "A World Without Thieves," which had been in preparation for three years. The lead roles were played by Andy Lau and Milk Tea Lau. Another role, "beautiful female thief," was highly sought after, including by her and Li Shuangbing.

But in the end, the 'female thief' fell into Li Shuangbing's hands, which made her very resentful.

Because she didn't lose to Li Shuangbing, but to Li Shuangbing's sister, since the producer of "A World Without Thieves" was Li Xue's boyfriend.

This made her hate Li Xue so much that she wanted to grind her teeth, and on some occasions she even called her a "stinking bitch".

Then her relationship with Li Shuangbing deteriorated further and further, and the two were almost at the point of fighting each other over resources in the company.

Unfortunately, the company only had so many resources, and she always lost to Li Shuangbing.

She also understood why she lost to Li Shuangbing; it was because Li Shuangbing and Wang Zhongjun had a complicated relationship.

Several times when she went to see President Wang, she saw Li Shuangbing in President Wang's office, and the two of them were having a very intimate time.

"Sister Hua, I can't compare to that bitch. Who told her to win over President Wang? She's got all the tricks up her sleeve," Fan Shuangbing mocked.

Wang Jinhua also knew a little about the relationship between CEO Wang and the female artists in the company. After all, this CEO Wang had dated all the actresses in Huayi, and his harem was no less than three thousand beauties.

“I plan to leave Huayi when my contract ends next year. Bingbing, you’re the first to know. Do you want to leave with me? If you do, I’ll make you even more famous than Li Shuangbing. I’ll do my best to help you with Director Cheng Sheng,” Wang Jinhua said in a deep voice.

Fan Shuangbing was not surprised at all that Wang Jinhua was leaving Huayi, because it was obvious to everyone that Wang Jinhua had a conflict with the Wang brothers, and given that she did not renew her contract, it was clear that she would not stay with the company.

However, Fan Shuangbing needs to seriously consider leaving the company with Wang Jinhua.

After all, she still needs to consider the gains and losses.

Staying at Huayi is stable, but following Wang Jinhua is a bit risky, and the future is uncertain.

However, at Huayi, one must compete with Li Shuangbing for resources and leave with Sister Hua, thus having the opportunity to become one of Sister Hua's most favored individuals.

But they also risk being suppressed by Huayi.

After a long silence, Fan Shuangbing gritted her teeth and said, "If Sister Hua can help me get the lead role in Director Cheng's second film, I'll go with you, Sister Hua."

Hearing Fan Shuangbing's words, Wang Jinhua smiled and said, "I will do my best with Director Cheng, but I can't guarantee success. However, I can guarantee you that if you leave with me, you will get at least one leading role in a film every year." Fan Shuangbing was a little disappointed, but it was within her expectations.

What she really wanted was a guarantee from Wang Jinhua.

She wants to be the lead actress in one movie every year.

She also wants Cheng Sheng's movies.

However, she didn't want Wang Jinhua to help her; she wanted to go to Cheng Sheng herself.

She refused to believe that Cheng Sheng, a mere young man, could escape her grasp.

……

Young director Cheng Sheng returns to China.

Can the youngest Golden Lion winner in history shoulder the responsibility of being the leading figure of the Sixth Generation of directors?

[Scarlett and Cheng Sheng's relationship! Are they really just friends, or...?]

Looking forward to the release of "The Great Tang Dynasty: Origins".

[Shocking! Overseas copyright sales fetched a staggering $2650 million, netting Cheng Sheng over 2 million RMB.]

The entertainment sections of major portal websites use the most eye-catching headlines as their front-page headlines.

The news that Cheng Sheng sold his overseas distribution rights for over 200 million yuan has stunned the entertainment industry.

It has to be said that some media people are really resourceful. Not long after Cheng Sheng returned, they dug up the news that Cheng Sheng had sold the overseas distribution rights in Venice.

Cheng Sheng once again became the focus of public attention.

On the set of "A World Without Thieves".

Feng Dapao's hands trembled as he looked at the news on his computer, his heart filled with intense jealousy.

I thought Cheng Sheng had reached his limit with awards, but I didn't expect him to sell so much money.

Two hundred million!

How did that brat manage to do that?
He worked hard to make the movie, but it didn't even gross 200 million at the box office.

"Damn it, why is he so outstanding?" Feng Dapao clenched his fists, roaring wildly in his heart.

No, I can't admit defeat.

Isn't this a historical film?

He refused to believe that if Cheng Sheng could film it, he couldn't.

"Young people these days are really outstanding, two hundred million! I've made so many movies over the years, and none of them can compare."

The only person who would dare to speak like that in Feng Xiaogang's film crew is Liu Dehua.

Others might be wary of Feng Dapao, but he wouldn't.

Moreover, he himself greatly admires Cheng Sheng. He used to think Cheng Sheng was reckless, but after seeing Cheng Sheng win the Golden Lion Award, his opinion of Cheng Sheng changed a lot.

Although he hasn't seen Cheng Sheng's movies yet, he believes they are definitely not bad; otherwise, the distributors wouldn't be so foolish as to spend so much money to buy the overseas distribution rights for Cheng Sheng's movies.

She secretly wanted to meet with Cheng Shengjian to see if there was an opportunity for cooperation.

Milk Tea Liu's eyes lit up; the two hundred million yuan struck her heart directly.
