Xu Manman could not stop smiling as she accepted the congratulations and flattery from other people in the company.

Yes, no one in the entire company expected that the artist Huang Bo she led actually won the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with a little-known "Bullfighting" movie, that is,

The so-called movie king.

Those big productions, those modern urban films with handsome men and beautiful women, those special effects films, in the end, they all failed to compete with the films starring that unattractive, even a bit ugly man.

It can be said that since she and Huang Bo returned to the company with the Best Actor trophy, she, as an agent, was proud and proud.

"Sister Manman, are you going to have a celebration party tonight?"

"Yes, of course it is!"

"Teacher Huang will come too, I want to ask him to sign!"

"I'm sure we are all from the same company. If you want signatures, just tell me."

Xu Manman accepted everyone's compliments and showed no resistance to their enthusiasm.

Suddenly, Xu Manman's eyes narrowed and her gaze stopped at the company door.

She turned around and apologized to everyone, then picked up her skirt and ran out in a hurry.

As expected, she wasn't being fooled just now, Huang Bo was really planning to slip away.

In front of the car door, Xu Manman stopped Huang Bo and looked at him angrily.

"My teacher Huang, we have a celebration party in the evening. Where are you going at noon?"

Huang Bo scratched his head. At this time, he was far less powerful than later generations. As for having just won the title of Best Actor, he had not adapted to this status. His behavior and habits still showed signs of his former self.

When it comes to getting along with agents, it's more like how ordinary little stars treat big-name agents.

After all, before "Bullfighting", he only made a name for himself with "Crazy Stone". Even another racing movie did not make him popular.

It was even said that this time "Bullfighting" won him the best actor award, but it was not a big hit at the box office.

"I made an appointment with someone to have lunch and chat. As for the company, Manman, just help me deal with it!"

Xu Manman was a little angry. There were so many people in the company waiting to congratulate Huang Bo. He left her behind, but he walked away. What a big deal.

However, Xu Manman rolled her eyes and realized that Huang Bo's value was getting bigger and bigger. She still had to pay attention to her words.

After thinking for a while, Xu Manman asked calmly: "Important friend?"

Huang Bo hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Lu Heng."

The corner of Xu Manman's eyes opened, and she instantly remembered the man who was more famous than Huang Bo some time ago.

Considering his net worth, if Huang Bo and he have a good relationship, he might be able to rely on him if there is any need for film investment in the future.

"Since it's that person, that's fine. You can go ahead. I'll take care of the company."

Huang Bo's face lit up.

"But you still have to come over tonight. The company is planning to hold a celebration party for you, and you, the protagonist, must be there."

Huang Bo nodded, agreed without hesitation, and then got into the car.

Looking at the car in the distance, Xu Manman stood on the side of the road. The corners of her mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything. She shook her head and returned to the company, continuing to accept the greetings from others.

In the restaurant, Lu Heng listened to Huang Bo's enthusiastic words with a smile, and chatted with him from time to time.

I have to say that Huang Bo is quite interesting, and his Mandarin with a Qingdao accent also made the chat atmosphere extremely comfortable.

After chatting for a while, Lu Heng asked curiously when he heard that Huang Bo had to entertain so many people at night. Looking at his wry smile, Lu Heng asked curiously:

"Didn't you reveal before that you were going to be independent and open your own studio?"

Huang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have this plan. After all, although I can enjoy a lot of resources in the agency, there are too many constraints, and some returns are not big. But the company has the scripts I really want to shoot.

I have the right to veto it. I don’t like this feeling very much.”

"And if I open my own company, then I can have the power to decide what movies to film and what endorsements to accept."

Huang Bo is actually talking about the situation of most young actors and stars. Many times their jobs are decided by their agencies, and they basically have no say.

It is also true that as actors become more famous and earn more, they become more and more eager to be independent.

Open your own company, take on the roles you want to take, and take the path you want to take.

"It's just that I'm still hesitant. Once I open my own business, it will be difficult for me to enjoy the company's resources. It is very likely that my acting career will be greatly affected."

Lu Heng took a sip of the red wine in his glass and asked curiously as an audience member: "What are the resources?"

Huang Bo hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "There are many, such as connections in the entertainment industry, and fighting for good films. After all, the investors behind many good films may be my company. There are also public relations. Once my personal image

If there is any stain on the film, the public relations of the brokerage company can play a big role. In fact, there are many more, such as personal packaging, announcements of variety shows, etc. These things are difficult to obtain for individual studios."

After listening to Huang Bo's words, Lu Heng was thoughtful.

Huang Bo looked at Lu Heng and muttered in his heart. Actually, there was one more important point that he didn't say.

That is the lack of funds. It is actually quite difficult for a small star to support a company. If the funds cannot operate, then what he said before actually does not exist.

But in Huang Bo's eyes, after he finished speaking, Lu Heng pondered for a long time and then laughed.

"Director Lu, why are you laughing? Do you think there is something wrong with what I said?"

Lu Heng shook his head and chuckled: "Actually, I think the things you mentioned are not big problems."

"Oh?" Huang Bo sat up straight and looked at Lu Heng curiously.

Lu Heng leaned back on his chair and explained confidently: "For an actor, the most important thing is actually the work. Things like connections may seem important, but they are just the icing on the cake. For example, everyone says that Mr. Xing

He's not popular, but who's to say he's not a great and successful actor?"

Huang Bo was dumbfounded and unable to refute.

Lu Heng continued: "As long as you have good works, all doors will be open for you. As for how good works come, it is nothing more than a good script, your excellent acting skills, and the director's skills. If you go out independently

, then you can choose the script yourself and decide who to collaborate with."

"But what if someone doesn't like me and doesn't want me if there's a good script?" Huang Bo asked not very confident.

Lu Heng laughed uncontrollably, and in Huang Bo's puzzled eyes, he said, "You are now the best actor. Both your fame and your acting skills are guaranteed. Do you think others will look down on you?"

"Well"

Ignoring Huang Bo's astonishment, Lu Heng said to himself: "I am a businessman, not from your circle, but many of the principles are the same. What you call connections, resources, public relations, packaging and a series of other things,

In fact, it’s all based on fame and money. Once you have fame, as long as the money is in place, other things are just at your fingertips.”

Huang Bo spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "But I'm just short of money!"
