Rural Shennong

For Hua Dewen, the foundation of controlling a huge entertainment empire is not the extremely influential stars under the control of Huaying Entertainment Group, but the star-making ability of the group itself.

Huaying owns the number one theater chain in China, shares in three private TV stations, and the second largest online film and television platform in China.

With so many resources, it is too easy to make someone popular.

Give the stars he wants to support in popular variety shows, make two more movies, and increase the number of movies in theaters. Even if the movie hits the street, the protagonist of the movie will be familiar.

Therefore, if Du Shiman was disobedient, then Hua Dewen would hide her without any hesitation.

In Hua Dewen's own words: "If anyone thinks he is the king of heaven and the queen of heaven, he can let himself go, refuse to listen to the company's arrangements, and don't create profits for the company. Then what else does the company make money from?"

This precedent cannot be set, and in addition, Hua Dewen has just taken over as the president of Huaying for a little over two years, so Du Shiman was not picked up by him.

He just happened to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, to gain prestige, and to win a newcomer.

The newcomer Hua Dewen wanted to support was Jin Lan who was sitting in his arms at the moment.

"Brother Wen, that director is so fierce. He has worked very hard, but he is still not satisfied."

Hua Dewen's hand reached into Jin Lan's skirt: "This is a great director. If you are not good at acting, you have to rely on his box office appeal."

"If you're a newcomer and finish your first movie, no one will watch it no matter how high the screening rate is at the cinema."

Jin Lan, Bai Yingying, Du Bing, and Qi Qi were so tense that they couldn't stay in the dormitory any longer, so they simply moved out, and even asked for leave to go to Kimchi Country for a little plastic surgery.

When returning home, I happened to meet Hua Dewen on the plane.

She has a good foundation, and after finishing her face, she added a kind of charm, which immediately attracted Hua Dewen.

To say that there are quite a lot of beauties in Huaying Company, and there are queens like Du Shiman, Hua Dewen has too many opportunities to play unspoken rules.

But radish and green vegetables have their own loves, and Hua Dewen just fell in love with Jin Lan, but he didn't have much feeling for Du Shiman.

After learning that Hua Dewen is the boss of Huaying, Jin Lan was immediately overwhelmed by Hua Dewen's financial ability, and surrendered to him.

Jin Lan's thigh was split a little, so that Hua Dewen could continue to move: "I still want to sing, Brother Wen, can you find someone to write a song for me?"

Hua Dewen's breath was a little rough: "Okay, after you finish filming this scene, I will find someone to order an album for you."

"Now..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a hasty knock on the door.

Hua Dewen was a little upset, but he also knew that it was working time, and it must be a business if someone came to him: "Go and open the door."

Jin Lan got up to open the door, and a handsome middle-aged man entered the office.

His name was Zhang Fulun, and he turned out to be a popular male singer.

Later, because of laryngeal cancer, he couldn't sing after being cured, so he was transferred to the administrative department of Huaying.

Now he is the director of the artist department.

Zhang Fulun looked a little anxious: "President, take a look at Weibo."

"Just now, Sister Du posted an announcement on her Weibo, announcing that she has officially endorsed a beauty brand called Dongling Beauty."

Hua Dewen froze for a moment.

He knew that the sister Du that Zhang Fulun was talking about was Du Shiman.

"Dongling Beauty Makeup? What brand is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Zhang Fulun said with a wry smile: "I haven't heard of it either. If this Weibo hadn't been topped the headlines, I wouldn't even know about it!"

Hua Dewen stood up as soon as he slapped the table: "It's unreasonable!"

"When she signed the endorsement, she didn't even say hello to the company in advance. Does she still have a company in her eyes?"

"You hold a press conference immediately and announce to the outside world that Du Shiman's endorsement contract is invalid."

Normally speaking, Hua Dewen did have the right to interfere with Du Shiman's endorsement.

Because Du Shiman is Huaying's signed artist, all her endorsement contracts must be reported to Huaying, and then Huaying's legal department will send someone to negotiate with the brand she wants to endorse before they can count.

Otherwise, Du Shiman will face a lawsuit.

Zhang Fulun's face was full of confusion: "President, Sister Du's endorsement is a bit special, we can't interfere."

Hua Dewen was dissatisfied: "She still has three years of contract with the company, why can't the company take care of her?"

Zhang Fulun explained: "Because Sister Du said on Weibo that she is one of the shareholders of this beauty brand."

"She didn't sign an endorsement contract, she endorsed Dongling Beauty Makeup for free."

Hua Dewen understood, and his face became more and more ugly.

This kind of situation is very common in the entertainment industry, and it is usually used to avoid the management fees of business associations.

Because signing an endorsement contract under normal circumstances, whether it is an entertainment company or a star, has to pay management fees to the industry and commerce association. The higher the endorsement fee, the more management fees you pay.

So sometimes entertainment companies will use the name of stars to buy shares in this manufacturer.

Then the entertainment company will let the star endorse the manufacturer for free, and share the profit and bonus with the manufacturer.

If the product sells well, dividends are not necessarily less profitable than endorsement fees.

This situation is all too common.

I give my own brand endorsement, and I don't charge money, so I don't have to pay management fees, right?

Therefore, most brands are unwilling to allow celebrity artists to become shareholders, lest the entertainment companies behind the artists intervene in the operation of the manufacturers, and would rather pay endorsement fees.

Only a very small number of brand manufacturers will do this, because everyone knows that the artist is just a cover for the public, and the entertainment companies are the masters behind it.

In order to avoid the investigation and management fees of the industrial and commercial associations, entertainment companies will avoid this when signing contracts with their artists.

The same goes for Dushman.

In the contract she signed with Huaying back then, she was not restricted from giving free endorsements to her own brand.

"Damn it, Du Shiman is a bitch!" Hua Dewen was furious, he felt that Du Shiman was challenging the company.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Du Shiman's number.

The call was connected quickly: "Hello, Du Shiman? I'm Hua Dewen!"

Du Shiman said lazily: "Mr. Hua, what do you want from me?"

Hua Dewen said coldly: "You still have the face to ask me? Look at the stupid things you have done."

"I order you to terminate the endorsement with that shitty beauty brand immediately, and come to the company immediately to participate in the announcement to clarify the endorsement incident!"

Du Shiman is the first of the four queens, and Hua Ying spent a lot of resources in cultivating Du Shiman, and she will have to be treated as a cash cow in the future.

Hua Dewen wants to win Jin Lan, one is because Jin Lan is so coquettish, and the other is because he wants to win an actress with his own hands, so as to save Du Shiman from being too arrogant and dominating the company.

He hid Du Shiman for a while, just to teach Du Shiman a lesson, but he didn't want to completely ban her.

But Du Shiman actually endorsed a beauty brand in private, which broke through Hua Dewen's bottom line.

Du Shiman smiled and said, "Mr. Hua, are you talking about my endorsement for Dongling Beauty Makeup?"

"I'm not helpless! I can't get any film appointments or endorsements. I have to eat, right?"

"If you don't give me food, I can only find a way to survive by myself!"

Hua Dewen said angrily: "Get out of here immediately, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fulun quickly interrupted: "President Hua calm down!"

"Sister Du is the first sister of our company, we can't get too stiff with her after signing the contract."

"Give me the phone and I'll tell her."
