Huayi Brothers Media Co., Ltd. is a well-known comprehensive private entertainment group in the mainland. It was founded by Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei brothers in 1994. In 1998, it invested in the film "The Endless" by the famous director Feng Xiaogang. The film "The Devils Are Coming" directed by Jiang Wen officially entered the film industry. It became famous for investing in Feng Xiaogang's New Year films every year. It then entered the media industry, investing and operating films, TV series, artist brokers, records, entertainment marketing and other fields.

It was listed in 2009 with a market value of nearly 10 billion!

In fact, in Shen Lin's opinion, the most powerful thing about Huayi is not the production of movies, but the power it represents - the Beijing Circle.

The entire entertainment circle is divided into Shanghai, Beijing, Hunan, Northeast, and Hong Kong and Taiwan regions. In the mainland, the most powerful one is undoubtedly the Beijing circle.

To give the simplest example, in 2015, three movies were launched, namely Huayi's "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Dragon Finding Art", "Old Cannon", and Deng Chao's "Villain Angel".

A week later, look at the box office data, and it is obvious that "Villain Angel" lost both reputation and box office.

In fact, is "Villain Angel" really as vulgar as the media says?

I admit that "The Villain Angel" is indeed not a good movie, but the starring roles are Deng Chao and Sun Li. These two are considered top-notch stars in the mainland, and Deng Chao also has the largest ratings in Zhejiang Province "Running Man, Brothers" as a promotional platform.

Then, the two were criticized by the media in various ways, and there was no one who could help them speak!

This is the strength of the Beijing Circle!

The reason why Shen Lin went to Huayi was very simple. He didn't want to challenge this overlord. To be honest, he could barely be regarded as one yuan in the Beijing circle. After all, he belonged to the native imperial capital!

Moreover, Shen Lin and Wang Shuo had a good relationship. At the beginning, Shen Lin published "1988, I Want to Talk to This World" and asked someone to make a preface.

(You read that right, the pig's feet have already snatched Han Shao's works in a daze)

Comrade Wang Shuo is definitely a core figure in the Beijing circle.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, there were two main positions in the mainland entertainment industry, one was Yuezhou and the other was the imperial capital.

The Imperial Capital entertainment industry is divided into three schools, one is the People's Art Theater, that is, the actors of the Imperial Capital People's Art Theater; the other is the Imperial Capital Film Studio; the other is what we now call the "Beijing Circle".

The People's Art Theater Attacks the Stage Drama, Beijing Film and Film, and the "Beijing Circle" started with TV dramas.

The main characters in the Beijing film and television industry are Wang Shuo, Ye Jing, Zheng Xiaolong and Ye Daying.

The relationship chain derived from Wang Shuo's line was Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yuan in the early stage, and the main character was Lao Xu;

Feng Xiaogang was derived from Huayi brothers Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen was derived from He Ping, Geng Le and Zhang Yibai.

Zheng Xiaolong's line was derived from Zhao Baogang and Ge Da Ye; Zhao Baogang's line was derived from writer Shi Kang, and Shi Kang's line was derived from Wang Luodan.

The relationship chain derived by Ye Daying is Mei Ting. When Hong Kong artists came to the mainland to shoot movies, they needed various reviews, but Ye Daying easily invited his brother to play Mei Ting. After the movie "Red Lovers", Mei Ting became popular. Later, Mei Ting moved to Guangzhou and Hong Kong. Ye Daying also rented a studio in Shenzhen and raised many writers, the most famous of which was the director of "Witness of the People".

Ye Jing should be the least famous among the four, but he is the most powerful among them. If Ye Jing also has a derivative chain, it is the singer Chen Yufan and his wife Bai Baihe.

Of course Ye Jing has left the large army.

The result of the camp composed of these four people is that whoever they praises is popular and whoever they promotes is popular!

From 1990 to 1998, 90% of the artists who became popular in the imperial capital film and television industry were launched by them.

This law was disrupted by Yan Zi Zhao, who was born in 1999. Just like the current Beijing circle, Li Yifeng and Wu Yifan won over. As soon as Yan Zi Zhao became popular, the Beijing circle immediately pulled Yan Zi Zhao to film "Heroes of Heaven and Earth". The director was He Ping and the starring Jiang Wen.

Another movie made by Yan Zizhao after encountering the military flag incident was the Beijing-circle movie "Green Tea", which was directed by Zhang Yuan and starring Jiang Wen.

Is Lao Touzi the most awesome director in China the Beijing circle? No! Director Zhang belongs to the Northwest circle! This circle includes Lao Touzi, Gu Changwei, and Wang Quan'an. The Beijing circle cannot tolerate Lao Touzi. There are basically no artists in the Beijing circle who have ever acted in Lao Touzi's movies. For example, Lao Xu has worked with so many big directors but has never worked with Lao Touzi. In 2001, Lao Touzi filmed "Heroes", and Huayi, the main player in the Beijing circle, followed closely and made "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".

Finally, let’s talk about the new generation in the Beijing circle. The new generation in the Beijing circle derived from Lao Xu was the cannon king Wu, and the new generation derived from Ye Jing was Bai Baihe.

The Hong Kong director who is trying hard to get closer to the Beijing circle is director Chen Kexin. Director Chen Kexin began to get closer to the Beijing circle when he went north in 2005.

In 2011, Huayu was not as full as in five years. In five years, the main resources of blockbuster movies were Huayi, Bona, Light, Ali, and Xiaoma. Good film resources will become increasingly scattered, and the central system of the investor producers was formed.

Let’s take a look at the mainland film market in 2010. Except for a few Hollywood blockbusters, almost all the other good movies are controlled by Huayi.

Even Stephen Chow, who was calling for the wind and rain in the south, had to hand over the distribution rights of "Kung Fu" to Huayi if he wanted to enter the mainland.

Shen Lin did not want to oppose such a force at all, so Shen Lin decided to join.

The letter of fame is the distribution right of his first movie "Thirty-three Days of Love Break"!

At this time, Guo Siye, who was far away in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, had not started filming "Tiny Times", and Han Shao's "Long-time" was not known where. As one of the three best-selling writers in the mainland, Shen Lin is definitely qualified to take on the leading flag of a writer as a director.

According to Huayi's hype ideas, Shen Lin should be welcomed to join.

Moreover, the investment in "Thirty-Three Days of Love Break" is not big, and it is enough to be fully calculated, less than 10 million. Shen Lin's Weibo fans also have more than 10 million, so it is no problem to recover the cost.

Of course, the above is just Shen Lin’s thoughts.

...

"Oh, Brother Zhonglei, I'm really a little flattered!"

Unexpectedly, Huayi attached great importance to Shen Lin's arrival, and actually allowed the nominal second-in-command Wang Zhonglei to receive it.

"The talented man was joking."

The two of them exchanged a few greetings, and Shen Lin went straight to the topic.

"Brother Zhonglei, I believe you should be very clear about my visit."

Shen Lin had long conveyed his intentions through Wang Shuo.

"I know, I want to be a director!"

Wang Zhonglei was concise and concise.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this tone, he seemed to look down on him! Shen Lin frowned slightly.

"No problem, we Huayi can invest,"

There must be conditions, as expected, Wang Zhonglei continued: "However, we still need to arrange an associate director. It's not that we don't believe in Shen Dacaizi's strength, but mainly because we are worried that you are a novice and may not be able to suppress the actors!"

"Haha, understand, understand."

What can Chen Lin say? Anyway, he is the deputy director, it doesn’t matter, he can still suppress it with his own strength!

“…In addition, it’s okay for us to be the producer.”

"Of course, of course."

Nonsense, if someone gives money, you will definitely not let you spend it randomly. It is very reasonable to arrange a producer to help manage the money!

“…and, the actor I hope to be…”

"Brother Zhonglei, this is a bit over. I already have an actor I like, look..."

Chen Lin interrupted him directly and looked at Wang Zhonglei with some embarrassment.

Wang Zhonglei looked at him with a little disdain and said, "Our Huayi actors..."
