I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 57 A Glorious Era
Ning Hao is a talented person, and he wants to recruit her into his studio.

Of course, what Cheng Sheng wanted most was Xing Aina.

He was originally worried about who to find to manage his studio, but after seeing Xing Aina, Cheng Sheng had an idea: to have Xing Aina manage his studio.

Ning's success was actually inseparable from Xing Aina's help.

Before becoming famous, Ning Hao and Xing Aina lived a poor life. However, even in such circumstances, Xing Aina still supported Ning Hao in pursuing his dreams. She never complained or criticized him and quietly stayed behind him to support him.

Before filming their first movie, "Incense," they already had 150,000 yuan in savings, but Ning Hao poured all of it into the film production.

As a virtuous wife, Xing Aina naturally supported her husband's dream. Even in the poorest times, she continued to manage the family without any complaints.

Moreover, Ning Hao's early films were all scripted by Xing Aina, such as "Incense", "Green Grassland", and "Love Will Carry On".

In particular, Xing Aina was the screenwriter for "Crazy Stone," the film that made Ning Hao an overnight sensation and a renowned director.

After that, there were two other high-grossing films, "The Golden Era" and "Breakup Buddies," both of which had screenplays written by Xing Aina.

It's fair to say that Xing Aina deserves half the credit for Ning Hao's success.

Moreover, Xing Aina is not only good at writing scripts, but she will also be the legal representative of six companies and hold senior management positions in ten other companies.

She directly holds controlling stakes in five companies, including Dongyang Hengdian Xing Aina Film and Television Studio (100% owned) and Horgos Niannian Huanyi Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. (70% owned), and indirectly holds shares in 21 companies, covering fields such as film and television culture and corporate management.

For someone as multi-talented as Xing Aina, managing a personal studio must be a breeze.

Most importantly, Xing Aina's character is trustworthy, so Cheng Sheng feels relatively at ease entrusting his personal studio to her management.

Of course, he wouldn't invite Xing Aina now, but would wait until he wanted to surprise Ning Hao before inviting her to join his studio.

As the guests arrived one after another, they were all seated at the tables arranged by the reception staff.

Cheng Sheng naturally sat in one of the main seats, with Han Sanye to his right, and then clockwise, all of them were big shots in the industry.

Yu Dong, the two Wangs, Principal Xu Xiaozhong, and several other entertainment company executives, as well as top celebrities like Liu Dehua.

The remaining tables were occupied by top celebrities in the industry, as well as key members of Cheng Sheng's film crew.

At the celebration banquet tonight, at a glance, at least half of the entertainment industry was present.

This shows how influential China Film Group is; they can command a huge following, and even people who are filming will take time out of their busy schedules to come over.

"Director Cheng, let me toast you. Congratulations on the box office success of your film." An entertainment company executive stood up, raised his glass, and said respectfully.

"polite."

Cheng Sheng quickly stood up, clinked glasses with the other person, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Director Cheng, Hailiang, I also wish you great box office success." Seeing this, General Manager Wang also stood up and said.

Cheng Sheng looked miserable. If everyone toasted him, even if he could drink a lot, he would eventually pass out.

However, if I drink with the person in front of me but not with Mr. Wang, people will think I look down on Mr. Wang.

Cheng Sheng had no choice but to clink glasses with Mr. Wang again and drink another glass.

"Let's have a drink, one cup at a time. Even if Xiao Cheng can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, he'll still get a stomach hemorrhage. Why don't we all have a drink together, and then we can stop the toasting? Let's wish the box office breaks 1 billion."

Xu Xiaozhong still cared for his students. Seeing that someone was about to toast Cheng Sheng again, he quickly got up and interrupted.

"Okay." The group just wanted to build a relationship with Cheng Sheng, but they didn't really intend to get him drunk.

Cheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced gratefully at the principal, and then drank a glass with everyone.

"Director Cheng, what are some techniques for filming historical dramas? Would you like to share them with us so we can learn from them?"

"A CEO of an entertainment company said with a smile."

Most entertainment companies are now working on historical projects, but they are still afraid of messing them up, so they want to learn from Cheng Sheng.

"Haha, bosses, you know more about making movies than I do, so I'd better not embarrass myself by showing off."

Cheng Sheng shook his head. He was well aware of the current online sentiment.

He hates copycat movies the most, but he can't stop them.

However, in his opinion, these people who blindly follow the trend of making historical films will probably lose everything.

After all, historical dramas are not something that ordinary directors can make.

He wouldn't have dared to touch this type of movie if it weren't for the simulation panel.

The current box office success of "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins" has blinded those who are blinded by greed. They only see the huge profits from the film and fail to see the risks of making historical dramas.

If you invest recklessly, you're bound to fail.

He didn't want to make any comments. If these people lost money in the future and then came after him, he would be disgusted to death.

Seeing Cheng Sheng refuse, several entertainment company executives were a little unhappy, but with Master Han around, they didn't dare to lose their temper.

Not far from Cheng Sheng's main table, at another table, sat the main creators of the film "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins".

"I really envy Director Cheng. He can chat and laugh with so many important people. I wish I could be like that someday." Zheng Guolin took a sip of wine and glanced at Cheng Sheng with envy.

Su Chang rolled her eyes at Zheng Guolin and said, "Brother Lin, you envy Director Cheng, but others envy you! I heard you got a global ambassadorship for Patek Philippe."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Guolin chuckled foolishly.

Patek Philippe is a world-renowned and expensive watch brand, and no celebrity in China has ever been able to become its representative. Unexpectedly, not long after returning from Venice, Patek Philippe approached him and signed him as its global ambassador.

Three million US dollars a year.

They smashed him so hard he was completely disoriented.

It's worth noting that Fan Shuangbing currently commands the highest endorsement fees in China, at 20 million RMB.

His endorsement fee was three million US dollars, which is about two million yuan more than Fan Shuangbing's.

She went from an unknown celebrity to a top star overnight, and her endorsement fees broke records.

It can be said that Zheng Guolin has been riding high lately.

Not only did his endorsement fee break records, but he also received several scripts.

However, he was always cast as Li Shimin, which disappointed him somewhat. After all, he had played Li Shimin in director Cheng Sheng's film, and he was a little reluctant to play Li Shimin in other films and television dramas.
