Huayu: The Big Players Behind the Scenes

If we're talking about the hottest topic in the entertainment industry lately...

They all basically come from the same company, or rather, the same person.

Zhuang, internationally renowned director, winner of three major awards and two gold medals, founder of 91 Company, MGM director, top screenwriter, crossover singer, Beijing Film Academy's holy son, third in the world's sexiest male star, Huai'an.

On the afternoon of June 7th,

Outside the Beijing Guohui Hotel, a 100-meter-long red carpet has been laid out, with reporters from major domestic media outlets standing on both sides, their cameras and microphones aimed at the entrance.

To make it more formal, Zhuang Huai'an invited Li Jing and Dai Jun to act as hosts, and even set up a signature board at the end of the red carpet as a photo area.

"Wow, this is quite a spectacle. I'd believe it if you told me it was the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony," a young reporter remarked in astonishment.

"It can't be compared, can it? It's just that the scale is bigger, and we don't even know who will be there." This reporter is very much like a rebuttal type of personality.

"You're new to the industry, bro?" another person said sarcastically, "With Director Zhuang's current status, even if he doesn't send out invitations, plenty of celebrities will shamelessly show up."

"That's right, that's right."

Someone echoed him, "Today's scene is more interesting than the Golden Rooster Awards. I heard that 91 Company sent out more than a hundred invitations. I think it would be awkward if someone didn't come."

"That's true." Another person nodded. "Just look at this red carpet; I think it's going to be entertaining tonight."

Reporters from various media outlets passed the time by chatting idly.

At this moment, Li Jing and Dai Jun appeared first and began to warm up the atmosphere.

After checking that it was almost time, the two began to introduce the guests.

The first to appear were naturally the henchmen of Company 91, led by Zhuang Huai'an.

Directed by Wang Zhiyong and Sun Hao, the cast includes Yan Kuan, Yu Bo, Hu Ge, Guo Jingfei, Miao Pu, Dong Xuan, Wan Qian, and Yan Danchen, with singers Phoenix Legend and Wang Zhengliang.

This is a good opportunity to expose all the celebrities, so they can at least have a name.

Following behind 91 Company were the three heroes of the vocational high school class, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, and Lin Jiachuan, as well as Ning Hao, an unofficial member of the team. The Four Kings made a limited-time comeback.

Next up were the casts of "Liancheng Jue" and "Chinese Paladin". Since both casts consisted mostly of newcomers, they walked the red carpet together.

After their own people arrived, Han Sanping and Jiang Wen appeared, their domineering and arrogant demeanor instantly captivating many photographers.

Next up was the sect's four-person group: Sect Leader Zhang Huijun, Peak Master Xie Xiaojin, Elder Tian Zhuangzhuang, and their mentor Wang Hongwei.

The cast of "Hunting" includes Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Wu; "Seaside Town" includes Wang Jingsong and Yu Feihong, the actress who plays Jinghong Fairy; "Gone Girl" includes Feng Yuan and Zhen Meiting; and the cast of "Detachment" includes Li Ming, Liu Jialing, and Liang Jiahui.

All of the above are Zhuang Huai'an's own people.

The main attendees today are Pu Cunxi, Yang Lixin, Song Changying, and He Bing from the Beijing People's Art Theatre. This is primarily a celebration banquet for the play "Gone Girl," and a few of them are here to support their old colleague, Feng Yuanzhen.

Wang Jinghua brings her artists, including Chen Daomin, Hu Jun, Ren Quan, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, and Guan Zhilin. It's worth mentioning that this "Sister Hua" was also the manager of Liang Jiahui and Liu Jialing.

It seems there was some friction between him and Wang Jinghua. Subsequently, the young CEO of Huayi personally led the team, and Xiao Ming and Deng Chao actually got together, along with several female artists including Huo Siyan, An Yixuan, and Li Xiaolu.

Then Mani Huo Wenxi led a group of Yinghuang artists, Xie Taizi Chen, cameraman Guan Zhibing, Joey Yung Twist, and others.

There were four directors present: Kai with Chen Hong, Gu Changwei with Wenli, and Zhang Yimou and Wang Jing alone.

Finally, there's capital, but it's also divided into different groups: Bona Fish Cave, Wang Changtian of Enlight Media, the Wu couple of China New Dragon, Boss Yang of Yinghuang, General Manager Wang of Huayi, and Dong Ping of Huayi.

The entire red carpet event lasted for more than an hour, with flashes from the media on both sides never stopping.

The reporter remarked earlier, "My God, I take back what I just said. The cast of this celebration banquet is indeed stronger than that of the Golden Rooster Awards."

Some people are also focused on the last few company owners, whose appearance further proves Zhuang Huai'an's current status.

All visitors are guests, and Zhuang Huai'an didn't put on airs. Whether they were big shots or small fry, he greeted them at the door with his sons, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang.

This isn't flattery, it's respect. People come to support you with smiles, and all you have to do is return the favor with a smile. It doesn't cost you anything, and you get a good reputation in return.

The experience of the great predecessor Nicholas Shaggy tells us that having a good reputation is really important.

Zhuang Huai'an kept in mind one lesson: make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

The version featuring Long Aotian is outdated.

Looking at the banquet hall full of people, Zhuang Huai'an was very satisfied. None of the annoying people, like Feng Xiaogang, Xiao Yanzi, and Zhang Weiping, came. That was good. Zhong Lifang was quite efficient.

"Huai'an," Han Sanping walked over with a ruddy complexion, "Let's go, let's go up on stage and break the ice first."

"become."

For this victory celebration banquet, Zhuang Huai'an copied the experience of his predecessors and made an ice dragon with a string of numbers attached to the bottom: 120000000.

It's auspicious and looks good.

Calling Feng Yuanzhen and Mei Ting to the stage, Han Sanping had Zhuang Huai'an stand at the dragon's head, while he himself took second place. The four of them simultaneously smashed the ice dragon.

Han Sanping's actions left those in the audience speechless. He had already begun presiding over the daily operations of China Film Group last month, and there were rumors at the time that his successful rise to power was inseparable from the political achievements given to him by Zhuang Huai'an.

Looking at it this way, it seems the news is probably true.

"The fact that 'Gone Girl' became the second domestic film to break 100 million yuan is inseparable from the strong support of the leaders of China Film Group, especially General Manager Han. At the same time, I would also like to express my special thanks to the audience who supported the film, and to my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy..."

On stage, Zhuang Huai'an spoke eloquently, thanking everyone without missing a single one. He already had a set of fixed templates in his mind for this kind of official language.

Judging from the expressions on Zhang Huijun's and Han Sanping's faces below, this tactic works quite well.

After the pleasantries were over, Zhuang Huai'an served the main course.

"Besides celebrating the success of 'Gone Girl,' I've invited everyone here today for another reason. I'd like to ask the media to help me promote it."

Amidst the questioning gazes of the crowd, Zhuang Huai'an handed the microphone to Han Sanping, signaling him to make the announcement. Old Han smiled with satisfaction, but waved his hand in refusal, as he did not want to overstep his bounds.

Okay, I'll do it myself.

Zhuang Huai'an looked at everyone and smiled, "The science fiction film 'The Martian,' spearheaded by China Film Group, produced by 91 Company, and directed by me, will officially launch in the second half of this year."

This film is expected to have a budget of 8000 to 9000 million US dollars and will be a co-production between China and the United States. The American production company is MGM. The script has already been written. Those who are interested can follow the company's official website, where character biographies will be published. Everyone is welcome to apply for auditions.

Oh, and by the way, film and television companies are also welcome to come and discuss cooperation.

As soon as these words were spoken, the actors below went crazy.

A big-budget production with a guaranteed budget of $8000 million, a Sino-US co-production, and with MGM involved – this is practically a ticket to Hollywood!

Hero is pretty amazing, right? How much did it cost to make?

Boss Yang and the others had their eyes gleaming; they wanted to get on this bus too!

Zhuang Huai'an stood on the stage, taking in the expressions of everyone, and smiled inwardly.
