Chapter 730 - Those Who Stick Close to the Ink Will Be Blackened
This could be considered an official announcement of a brand-new cooperation. Hua Bingzheng’s words were equivalent to others thinking that the films that Yun Xiangxiang would lead in the future would all be operated by Hua Yao Cinema. This could also be considered an exclusive monopoly.
Even though it was not written in the contract that the producer of her film had the right to choose, who would give up the biggest one and pay money to find another cinema?
At the same time, it was also a precedent for other movie stars. They could also fight for such treatment. After all, Hua Yao wasn’t the only one in China, and Hua Yao didn’t only treat Yun Xiangxiang like this.
How many films would a movie theater have to show in a year? How much percentage would a single person lead in a film?
It could be said that Hua Bingzheng’s decision had more advantages than disadvantages. The only disadvantage was that it broke the current situation and caused an impact on other theaters and cinemas. It was very likely that they would suffer from their ostracism and suppression. This had nothing to do with Yun Xiangxiang.
No matter how they fought, as long as Yun Xiangxiang’s film earned money, no cinema would refuse.
“I have a feeling that I’m being used as a chess piece by a profiteer.”On the way back, he Wei sent Yun Xiangxiang away. Lu Jin hitched a ride and said that he wanted to play billiards with He Wei.
He Wei looked at Lu Jin through the rearview mirror. Lu Jin pursed his lips and smiled. “Your reaction isn’t slow.”
Yun Xiangxiang Glanced at Lu Jin in the back seat. “I think you’re mocking me.”
“Hua Yao has always been in the leading position, but now that the development of the movie city is too fast, the others are starting to band together. If Hua Yao wants to stabilize his position as the leader of the dragon, he has to open up a new situation. And you are his opportunity,”Lu Jin said with a smile.
“Old profiteers are indeed different. We agreed to return the favor, but in the end, we still didn’t get all the benefits.”Yun Xiangxiang thought about it. This was the first time she had dealt with an unfathomable businessman.
Although it wasn’t so painful that she was sold and then counted the money, it wasn’t far from it. After all, she really wanted to be grateful for the benefits and preferential treatment Hua Yao gave her.
“Such a big move is actually very risky. Maybe they have been planning for a long time, but they haven’t dared to take action, so they may not look for you.”He Wei explained and moved his lips, “The person behind you is more secure than you. Hua Bing wants to use you, and you indeed have the advantage. He also wants to convince the board of directors and take the risk for you.”
Yun Xiangxiang was convinced by this point. Lu Jin’s popularity, status, appeal, influence, even his acting skills, interpretation of the script, control of the characters, and overall control were all heights that Yun Xiangxiang could not reach at this stage.
“Not necessarily. I’m old,”Lu Jin said with a smile.
He Wei could not help but roll his eyes.
Yun Xiangxiang saw this and said, “Brother Wei, you’re so double-standard. Senior Brother is only two or three years older than brother Jin. You keep saying that he’s old, but brother Jin says he’s old, and you don’t think it’s true.”
“I don’t think it’s not that he’s old or not old. It’s that his comforting words don’t have any skill at all,”he wei explained.
“In the industry of acting circle, there are evergreen trees, but they are as rare as Phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. The younger a person is, the greater the ups and downs. As for young people, especially young people like you...”
As he wei spoke, he glanced at Yun Xiangxiang and said, “The starting point is too high, and the risk is even greater. I’m afraid that if you’re not careful, you’ll fall and lose your fighting spirit. You’ll be hit so badly that your body won’t be intact. In the end, you’ll be silent until there are no more splashes.”
Such examples were common in the entertainment industry.

And for someone like Lu Jin, it was not impossible for there to be no more lows. After all, whether a film would sell or not was as hard to predict as a stock. No one could predict the future trend.
Lu Jin’s difference was that he had been in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years. He had already accumulated his charm and honed his mind. Whether it was success or adversity, he could deal with it calmly.
Even if he met with a low point, it would not affect his temperament. After the tide had turned, it was very easy for him to return to his peak.
Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, working with Lu Jin was more cost-effective than working with Yun Xiangxiang. It was also more convincing.
To Yun Xiangxiang, it was also more beneficial than working with Lu Jin.
If it was Lu Jin, the media and the public would feel that it was only natural.
However, if it was Yun Xiangxiang, many people would be surprised and curious. They would want to know how Yun Xiangxiang managed to surpass so many seniors and outstanding actors to become a person who was promoted.
Fortunately, Yun Xiangxiang had a very advantageous title. Just as Hua Bingzheng had said, she was the highest-grossing actress in China.
This highest-grossing actress had a lot of weight. Part of it came from Yun Xiangxiang’s strength, but more of it came from her luck.
She happened to be at the right time. It wasn’t that there weren’t any outstanding actresses before Yun Xiangxiang, but that the big screen at that time wasn’t as important as it was now.
There weren’t as many theaters as there were now, and the development of cinemas and movie studios weren’t as mature as they were now.
“Brother Wei, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I won’t fall,”Yun Xiangxiang assured he wei confidently.
Just then, a car drove over from afar. The headlights of the car shone on Yun Xiangxiang’s face, making her beautiful face exceptionally radiant.
Yun Xiangxiang did not know that every time she was confident, her eyes were like a layer of starlight, so beautiful that people did not dare to look directly at them.
She was afraid that if she was careless, she would be sucked into her bright eyes and would never be able to climb out after falling into them.
“There will definitely be a lot of reporters tomorrow. be mentally prepared.”He Wei sent Yun Xiangxiang to the parking lot and instructed her after she got out of the car.
“I promise to complete the mission.”Yun Xiangxiang even gave a mischievous military salute. At the end, she reminded the two of them with concern, “Brothers, don’t stay up too late. You’re Old and can’t afford to be injured.”
While he wei and Lu Jin were so angry that their eyes were wide open, Yun Xiangxiang let out a string of pleasant and moving laughter and walked away gracefully.
“This girl is really getting more and more good at stabbing people,”he wei snorted, but his tone was full of Indulgence and indulgence.
“This is called getting close to the enemy.”Lu Jin glanced at He Wei. “In terms of stabbing people, who can compare to you? Think about it, when you were filming ‘The King’s plan’, you were still a well-behaved and gentle little girl.”
In just two years, she had become so eloquent. Lu Jin was convinced that she was poisoned by He Wei because of her sharp tongue in martial arts.
He Wei: “Lu Jin, I have something on You!”
Lu Jin: “Is my company a vegetarian? I can’t bear to do it, but I won’t be merciful to Xue Yu.”
Xue Yu, who was far away at home, did not know that he was sitting at home. He almost caused a disaster.
Yun Xiangxiang did not know that her words had attracted the attention of two male idols. At the same time, she almost implicated her poor senior brother.
When she returned home, she happily chatted with song Mian and Mei Mei fell asleep.
