I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.
Chapter 16: Invitations from Major Entertainment Companies!
After the roadshow, Ye Huimei took Xiao Chen back to the hotel.
She held her son's hand tightly, her palms sweating with excitement.
Just now, when Xiao Chen was talking about his mother at her best, quite a few cameras were pointed at her.
Is she going to become famous because of her son?!
The gossipy women in the alley must be green with envy!
Ye Huimei only came to her senses after Xiao Chen broke free from her grasp.
"Chenchen, are you tired? Let Mom get you some water."
Xiao Chen took the water glass from Ye Huimei and gulped down several mouthfuls.
After finishing his drink, Xiao Chen saw that Ye Huimei was still excited, which made him both amused and exasperated.
He knew that today had a great impact on Ye Huimei.
No wonder.
Yeh Hui-mei probably had never seen so many cameras pointed at her before.
It's hard for ordinary people not to be excited when they experience such a scene.
Just as Ye Huimei was hesitating whether to make a call back to Beijing to share the good news, the phone in the suite suddenly rang.
Ye Huimei was startled.
She hesitated for a moment before walking over and answering the phone.
"Feed? Hello..."
A moment later, Ye Huimei's voice rose eight octaves.
"What?!"
"You...you're the manager of Shaw Brothers' talent agency department?!"
Shaw Brothers!
That's a legend in Hong Kong cinema!
Living fossils!
Why would a company like that call her!
The voice on the other end of the phone was very enthusiastic, constantly praising Xiao Chen's performance at the press conference.
Finally, they extended an olive branch, hoping to sign Xiao Chen to a full management contract and promising to give him the best resources.
Ye Huimei's mind went blank, and she could only nod subconsciously.
"Ah... okay, okay, we'll seriously consider it..."
Her hands were trembling slightly, and just as she hung up the phone, it started ringing frantically again.
She answered again.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...
"Hello...?"
"Golden Harvest?! You're from Golden Harvest Pictures?!"
Another name that resonates far and wide!
If Shaw Brothers is an old-established empire, then Golden Harvest is a new generation of dominant force that has nurtured international superstars such as Cheng Long and Hung King-po!
Ye Huimei felt like she was about to faint.
Then, phone calls started coming in one after another.
Cinema City, D&B, Win's Entertainment...
At the same time, all the well-known film and television companies in Hong Kong extended contract offers to her son!
And they offered extremely generous terms!
Ye Huimei held a pen and hurriedly took notes.
Just as she was about to answer the incessantly ringing phone again, a small hand gently pressed down on the back of her hand.
Xiao Chen walked up to her without her noticing, tilting his small face up and looking at her calmly.
"Mother."
Don't answer it.
Ye Huimei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
"Chenchen, be good. These are all calls from big companies wanting you to act in their movies!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to act? This is a golden opportunity!"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Reject them all."
Ye Huimei's smile froze; she even doubted whether she had heard correctly.
"What?"
reject?
Why refuse?
Xiao Chen said he wanted to find an agent, but that was before he received these calls.
This is Shaw Brothers!
It's Jiahe!
It's a place that countless people would do anything to get into!
She crouched down, trying to communicate with her son in a gentler way.
"Chenchen, don't you understand? If you sign with a big company, you can act in more movies and become a big star."
"Just like Uncle Jay, everyone likes you!"
Xiao Chen sighed softly to himself.
Of course he knew the names of these companies.
But it is precisely because we know this that we must refuse.
Signing with a big company sounds glamorous.
But for a child star with no connections, this is more like a glamorous trap.
He will be tied to the company's chariot, becoming a pawn in the power struggles among high-level executives and a gimmick for resource exchange.
Today you may be the company's darling, but tomorrow you might be abandoned because another, more famous child star appears.
To waste the most precious growth period.
What he wants is freedom, the initiative to control the direction of his career.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen decided to explain things clearly to Ye Huimei.
"Mom, is the company like a big school?"
Ye Huimei nodded blankly.
"Ah...you could say that."
Xiao Chen continued to ask.
"Does that school have many students and many teachers?"
Ye Huimei nodded.
"yes."
Xiao Chen tugged at his mother's clothes, pleading in a childish voice.
"But I don't want to go to such a big school. There are too many students, and the teachers won't be able to manage them all."
"What if the teacher doesn't like me and stops teaching me?"
He paused for a moment and pointed to himself with his little finger.
"I want to hire a private tutor, a tutor who is just for me."
"She would give me all the good things and only treat me well."
"That's why I want an agent!"
This metaphor is simple and straightforward.
Ye Huimei understood instantly.
Yes, no matter how many resources a big company has, it also has countless artists under its wing, making the competition extremely fierce.
Who can guarantee that the resources will definitely end up in Chenchen's hands?
If I get sidelined, wouldn't that mean the end of everything?
But still the problem.
Ye Huimei had absolutely no idea where to find an agent!
Just then, a loud knocking sounded on the door.
The mother and son were both startled.
Who could it be so late at night?
The reporters should have been kept downstairs by the hotel security.
Ye Huimei's heart tightened, fearing that some persistent company might send people to block her door.
She walked to the door and cautiously peered out through the peephole.
A woman was standing outside the door.
He was probably in his early thirties and had a neat short haircut.
Unlike the people on the phone who were all smiles, she had a serious expression and a capable look in her eyes.
He doesn't look like a bad person.
Ye Huimei was certain she didn't know her, so she only opened the door a crack.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
The woman outside the door glanced past her into the room before turning her gaze back to Ye Huimei.
Her voice had a Beijing accent.
"Hello, my name is Wang Jinhua."
"I came from Beijing to talk to Ms. Ye Huimei and little Xiao Chen."
Are you from Beijing?
Was it specifically for them?
Ye Huimei was stunned.
Who exactly is this woman named Wang Jinhua?
Just as she stood there, stunned and unsure how to react.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up behind her, and his urgent voice rang out behind Ye Huimei.
"Mom, please let Aunt Hua in!"
His agent, whom he had been waiting for so long.
Finally waited!
