Chapter 227 War of words
"I want to leave Huayi!"

Wang Jinhua did not hide it and said coldly:
“I brought a large group of artists to join Huayi with the original intention of providing them with a shelter so that they can be free from the ups and downs of the entertainment industry instead of being trapped in invisible shackles.

Since the Wang brothers ignored the value of artists and only treated them as commercial geishas, ​​this completely violated the original principles.

I want to see how Huayi can continue to develop smoothly without a group of artists contributing their efforts! "

"How do you want me to cooperate with the operation?"

Du Sheng knew that this was the other party's purpose.

And there is a high probability that you will be dragged into it.

Wang Jinhua's answer was also very direct:

"Huayi is seeking to go public. In order to increase its valuation, it will re-negotiate the distribution of "The Mouse Loves the Cat".
You have a good relationship with this crew, so you can be a middleman if possible.

The same goes for Kung Fu. If Stephen Chow wants to find a distributor in the mainland, I can help recommend a channel.”

Since the two sides have become irreconcilable, we must strike at the snake's most vulnerable part.

Du Sheng has a lot of connections and relationships behind him, so getting him on board would definitely be a help and would save you a lot of trouble.

After all, she still has more than a year left on her contract with Huayi, and if she wants to terminate the contract early, she must take drastic measures.

"What's in it for me?"

"As a friend, I will naturally not let you work in vain."

Wang Jinhua saw that Fan Bingbing was silent and knew that she would most likely listen to Du Sheng. She sighed inwardly:
"First of all, regarding ice, I will not charge her for any of her subsequent contract business, and I will even negotiate for two A-level resources for her.

If you can convince Master Xing and ensure that Miracle Studios does not do business with Huayi and chooses to cooperate with me,

I can help you expand film and television promotion, and even help you win the title of the top of the 'Four Little Freshmen'..."

"not enough."

"Isn't this enough?"

Wang Jinhua was shocked:
"Do you know how much resources and cost this process will take?"

Hundreds and millions!

"Given the reputation I've made in the fighting world, do you think I care about the false reputation of 'the four little freshmen'?"

Du Sheng chuckled:
"On the contrary, you have used Huayi's resources to attract or sign many top artists over the years.

The value of those contracts alone is probably far more than 30 or 50 million.

Even if you part ways with Huayi, the artists who are still under contract will still be important bargaining chips in your hands.”

He paused for a moment, as if trying to gauge Wang Jinhua's reaction:
"If I'm not mistaken, you're also going to push people into the dramas of Miracle Studio, Zhongyao, and Oriental Star Entertainment, right?"

During the casting for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", Wang Jinhua recommended many artists through Ye Jingzhi's relationship.

This seems to be a mutual benefit for both parties, but in fact it contains human feelings and conflicts of interest.

"..."

Wang Jinhua seemed to have been hit on the point and remained silent.

With Du Sheng's rising momentum, he really won't need her support in the future.

On the contrary, the future of her artists really depends on the other party's network resources.

She pondered for a moment and sighed:
"You really don't want to suffer any loss, did you get some advice from an expert?"

Du Sheng smiled and waved his hand:

"My ability is far different from yours, Sister Hua."

Fan Bingbing covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, and did not join in the conversation. Instead, she sat aside and ate the snacks and drinks that Du Sheng brought with peace of mind.

Wang Jinhua carefully analyzed Du Sheng's reaction and said:
"Tell me your conditions."

Du Sheng did not make a direct request, but asked:
"After you leave Huayi, do you plan to join a new force or start your own business?"

Wang Jinhua would not give away her true feelings so easily, and she also did not answer but asked instead:
“What if I join another company?”

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"Let's not talk about the distribution of "The Mouse Loves the Cat" and "Kung Fu" for now.

In the future, Miracle Studios, Zhongyao, Oriental Star Entertainment, and Cantonese TV will definitely be filming dramas, and they can lean towards you, Sister Hua, in terms of casting.

However, this involves managing and connecting with people, which will definitely cost money, so 900 million for two years is a good amount for now."

"You just want to eat my car! Are you still asleep?"

Wang Jinhua's eyelids twitched when she heard this.

Regardless of whether this cooperation is suitable, she currently does not have such a huge cash reserve.

Seeing this, Du Sheng smiled even more brightly:
"This is just a suggestion. Cooperation is of course something we both want."

Wang Jinhua was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked:
“What if I decide to start my own company?”

Du Sheng seemed to be waiting for this sentence, smiling:
"Then I will join you with my resources and connections, and I will take 9% of your company's shares."

Wang Jinhua was powerless to complain:
"You have quite an appetite!"

"This cooperation is good for you, me and everyone. Sister Hua, you won't think I'm taking advantage of you, right?"

"Isn't it? How do you think you are worth 9%?"

"The title of the future No. 1 student, plus the connections it brings!"

"..."

Although Wang Jinhua wanted to refute, her reasons were all untenable.

The other party does have the confidence.

Moreover, she took the initiative to propose this.

"I still need to win over those big-name artists. 9% is too much. I can only give you 4% at most."

"With the addition of ice, my value should be no less than those big brands you have, right? Is it only worth 4%?"

Du Sheng smiled playfully.

"Then let's both take a step back and say 7%?"

Wang Jinhua looked a little helpless.

“That’s some sincerity.”

Du Sheng did not want to ask for anything more and agreed readily.

"…You've made up your mind to eat my car, so you agree now?"

Wang Jinhua didn't react for a moment and was a little surprised.

"Haha, I'm afraid that you, Sister Hua, will go crazy." Du Sheng laughed.

"..."

Wang Jinhua was speechless, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart:
"Which of your words is true?"

"Words are not enough, there must be evidence in black and white."

Du Sheng stopped joking and spoke seriously.

Wang Jinhua was silent for a moment and suddenly felt tired.

"Don't worry, I have found a suitable partner for you. I will arrange a meeting between the two parties tomorrow."

Du Sheng added.

"fair enough."

Wang Jinhua sighed lightly, ended the topic, and left.

Although the deal had not even started, the other party took away 7% of the shares in just a few words.

This made her feel a little frustrated.

However, if Du Sheng can really shine in the entertainment industry in the future, then this 7% stake is not without value.

Du Sheng felt particularly happy after reaching an agreement with Wang Jinhua.

Although Wang Jinhua is somewhat realistic, her abilities and resources cannot be ignored.

Being able to work with such people is also an opportunity for him.

"Ah! Bastard, what are you doing, put me down--"

In his joy, Du Sheng knocked down someone who was leisurely eating snacks.

Regardless of the girl's screams and dancing, he carried her on his shoulders and walked towards the bathroom.

When Du Sheng was sparring with Fan Bingbing and Zhang Baizhi in martial arts, the internet was once again in turmoil.

But it was Wang Jinhua who made up her mind and took decisive action.

[Shocking news! The drinking scandal, the big and small Wangs are suspected of using power to coerce and induce]

[Entertainment industry earthquake! Artists are forced to accompany drinking and become a rule, counting the top ten dark secrets of Huayi! 】

[Huayi earthquake! Zuo Xiaoqing, Liu Jialing and other top stars jointly exposed the three-escort scandal]

Anyone with a little insight can see that this is an internal struggle within Huayi.

It is highly likely that Wang Jinhua took advantage of the scandals of the two Wang brothers and added fuel to the fire.

As for her purpose, except for some people with ulterior motives, most people are probably still confused.

It was already the next morning when Du Sheng learned about this.

He just smiled at this.

But one has to admire Wang Jinhua's decisiveness.

Now that Wang Zhonglei is unconscious and Wang Zhongjun is in a state of panic, Huayi has to make a choice if it wants to suppress the negative impact.

This invisibly created a good hand for Wang Jinhua.

She even had the opportunity to use this opportunity to have a formal showdown with Huayi and cut the rope that bound the contract.

As for the details, we will have to wait and see today's trilateral talks.

After filming the fight scenes in "The Mouse Loves the Cat", the scenes in the past few days were relatively simple.

Because most of the time it's all about drama and routine reversal, and the actors just have to follow suit.

At noon that day, Du Shengwan declined Zhang Baizhi's invitation and went to a private room in the restaurant nearby.

Wang Jinhua and Zhong Zhen attached great importance to this gathering he organized and arrived at the box early.

They were well aware that they were talking about a cooperation worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and any negligence could lead to failure.

Du Sheng invited the two to sit down, without participating too much in the conversation. He was only responsible for ordering food like a spectator.

"It's easy to open a new brokerage company. Funding is not a problem, but how do we allocate shares?"

Zhong Zhen got straight to the point and stated her position:
"If the investment and share do not match, I am afraid no one will be willing to be a sucker."

From what she said, she wanted to obtain more than two-thirds of the shares, so that she would invest heavily.

Because only absolute control can determine the future direction of the company and even avoid infighting.

"Mr. Zhong, your request is a bit too much."

Sister Hua flatly refused:

“The artists I brought here are all box office guarantees, and their combined influence is definitely worth more than hundreds of millions.

If we can’t even guarantee control of the company, what’s the point of our cooperation?”

"Sister Hua, business cooperation naturally comes with risks."

Zhong Zhen was not to be outdone:
“I’m paying real money here, so of course I hope to have more say.

To put it bluntly, if you repeat the family division incident again, how can I protect my rights and interests?"

The two men exchanged sharp words, which were full of business atmosphere and strategic clashes.

Although it seems tense, in fact, it is all for their own interests and calculations.

This is bound to be a fierce battle.

Du Sheng just focused on eating and drinking, completely treating himself as an outsider.

Wang Jinhua's expression froze, and she said in a deep voice:
"Boss Zhong, there is a saying that goes 'there is no wind without waves'. If I hadn't been forced into a corner, do you think I would have wanted to burn my boats?"

In the morning, she was called to the office by the furious Wang Zhongjun, and the two sides officially broke up.

Although she took advantage of last night's public opinion and had another card as a trump card, she still failed to escape early.

Wang Zhongjun angrily slammed the table and said:

"If you want to take away most of the artists whose contracts have not expired, you either have to pay the penalty or give up 50% of Taihe shares. Otherwise, there is no point in even talking!"

To this end, Wang Jinhua gave up 40% of her shares and did not pursue Huayi's dirty deeds in exchange for the freedom of all artists.

Huayi is at its peak right now and is still seeking to go public. How much does 40% of the shares cost?
It's simply unimaginable.

The fact that she can give up so generously shows her character and personality, which is why so many artists always follow her.

Artists have an infinite sense of security with her, because everyone believes that she will not "sell her skills" for profit.
