Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

"Wang Jinghua?"

Xu Heng naturally knew who Wang Jinghua was; she was now recognized as the top agent in mainland China.

Last year, Wang Jinghua also partnered with Wayi Entertainment to establish a talent agency, which boasts a star-studded lineup including Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Ren Quan, Tong Dawei, Xia Yu, Fan Binbin, Li Bingbing, Yuan Li, and others.

So he was somewhat surprised that Wang Jinghua took the initiative to come to him.

He has only entered the final round of auditions; he hasn't already won the lead role in "The Story of a Noble Family."

However, he does not rule out meeting with Wang Jinghua, or even signing a contract.

Firstly, Wang Jinghua provides excellent service to the stars under her management, which is highly praised in the industry. This is one of the reasons why she has been able to sign so many big-name stars.

Furthermore, in her previous life, when she switched from Wayi Entertainment, she was able to bring many celebrities with her.

Secondly, even if he wins the lead role in "The Story of a Noble Family", his agent will still need to be involved when signing the contract.

To avoid trouble, for important roles like the male lead, regular production teams are generally reluctant to sign contracts directly with individual stars, especially if he is a newcomer.

Otherwise, if he runs away halfway through filming, who will the crew look for then?

Thirdly, having an agent, especially a powerful one, can save him a lot of trouble and effort.

He definitely wouldn't sign a standard brokerage contract.

Of course, even without an agent, he would still be able to successfully sign a contract with the "The Story of a Noble Family" production team, and he would definitely not be cheated on the contract. That's what makes the system so awesome.

If you want better treatment, then your agent will definitely need to negotiate.

"Then, Ms. Huo, could you give me her phone number?"

Xu Heng thought for a moment and said.

"Have you decided to sign the contract?"

Huo Xuan asked.

Signing an agent is a big deal and requires careful consideration, as contracts are often for several years.

Especially for newcomers like Xu Heng, the contracts are not only long-term, but the conditions are also usually quite demanding.

For other students, it would be good enough to have an agent willing to sign a contract, let alone Wang Jinghua, the top agent in mainland China.

But given Xu Heng's circumstances, there's absolutely no need for him to be in such a hurry.

He didn't believe Xu Heng could actually land the male lead role in "The Story of a Noble Family" at all; his agent would need to negotiate the terms and sign the contract.

If it's just a regular role, you can sign the contract yourself; you don't have the right to negotiate terms.

"Let's talk first. If it's a good fit, we can sign a contract."

Xu Heng looked completely casual.

Huo Xuan immediately showed a helpless expression.

The student in front of him was quite arrogant, but he had also long noticed that Xu Heng's thinking was much more mature than that of many of his peers.

"Okay, then write it down."

Huo Xuan nodded, took out his phone and read out a number, and Xu Heng also took out his phone and wrote it down.

Then, with nothing else to do, Xu Heng left the office and made a phone call to Wang Jinghua on the way.

Wang Jinghua was clearly very interested in him, and directly arranged to meet him near the Beijing Film Academy the next day.

It's worth noting that Xu Heng's audition ended yesterday, and his name and story have already spread throughout the industry.

After hearing about it, Wang Jinghua first called Liu Guoquan, the screenwriter of "The Story of a Noble Family," and then called Huo Xuan, Xu Heng's homeroom teacher, to express her desire to sign Xu Heng.

This is the true value of being the top real estate agent in mainland China; their network of connections is absolutely top-notch!

Liu Guoquan further told her that Xu Heng's image and temperament were very suitable for the role of the male lead, Jin Yanxi, and that his acting skills were absolutely fine. Moreover, it was director Li Dawei who recommended him to participate in the second round of auditions for the male lead!

In other words, among the three people who have the power to make the decision, at least director Li Dawei and screenwriter Liu Guoquan support Xu Heng for the time being!

Even though Yu Jianming, as the owner and producer of Qiangshi Film Industry, has the final say, it seems that Xu Heng has a very high chance of getting the role of Jin Yanxi.

Not to mention that Xu Heng is so young, has such a good appearance, and has such superb acting skills!

Even if they don't land the male lead role in "The Story of a Noble Family" this time, they are definitely a promising talent. Signing them now would be a great deal, and the sooner you sign them, the more you'll earn!

The next day at noon, after class, Xu Heng went to a coffee shop near the Beijing Film Academy.

Upon learning that an agent wanted to sign him, his three roommates originally wanted to go along and see for themselves.

They will definitely need to sign with an agent in the future, or at least they certainly hope that an agent will be willing to sign them.

But when they heard that the agent who wanted to sign him was the top agent in mainland China, they immediately backed down.

They were also very clear that the top agent in mainland China definitely wouldn't be interested in them...

"Sister Hua!"

As Xu Heng approached the private room of the coffee shop, he saw Wang Jinghua, who had arrived earlier, and greeted her with a smile.

Given Wang Jinghua's current status, the fact that she arrived early to see him, a nobody, is definitely a testament to her sincerity.

"Hello Xu Heng, I'm Wang Jinghua!"

Wang Jinghua also stood up with a smile, her eyes practically shining as she looked at Xu Heng!

Based on her looks, figure, and charisma alone, she definitely deserves to be signed, not to mention her acting skills!

He's handsome and has great acting skills—she knows all too well how rare that is in the entertainment industry!

She had only learned about Xu Heng two days ago, and had never seen a photo of him or met him in person, but at this moment she felt that coming today was definitely the right decision!

"sit!"

Wang Jinghua reached out her hand again, saying that she was as enthusiastic as she could be.

Seeing Xu Heng sit down, he asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

"I'll do it myself."

Xu Heng smiled and called the waiter over to order a caramel mocha, which is coffee with milk chocolate and caramel.

He's in perfect shape now and doesn't need to control himself too much. Besides, the effeminate or skinny skeleton types of the future aren't popular these days.

Wang Jinghua also ordered a drink.

She had invited Xu Heng today, and she certainly couldn't order before Xu Heng arrived.

Before the coffee arrived, the two started chatting, mainly Wang Jinghua trying to learn more about Xu Heng's situation.

Xu Heng didn't hide anything and simply said some things, but he certainly wouldn't say everything.

After the coffee was served and the waiter left, the two began a formal conversation.

"Xu Heng, you probably already know why I asked you out today. I want to sign you. What do you think?"

Wang Jinghua suddenly became serious.

"Sister Hua, I'm definitely interested in signing a contract, otherwise I wouldn't be here today. It's just that I don't know the terms of the contract yet!"

Xu Heng picked up his coffee and took a sip, completely unaffected by Wang Jinghua's sudden change in demeanor.
