August 8, 2022, was originally a day that looked quite auspicious, but the entertainment industry was a bit stunned because Dong Zijian suddenly divorced his wife Sun Yiguan.
After all, the marriage between the two has always been a sweet and hairy mode of getting along, and it has never been rumored that there are emotional problems.
But in fact, the marriage between Dong Zijian and Sun Yi is not as sweet and flawless as it seems on the surface.
The two announced their relationship in 2016, and their daughter was born the following year, but until the divorce, no wedding was held, and it was even rumored that they had not obtained a license.
Behind this, in fact, Sun Yi, who has an ordinary family and is generally famous, has not been able to enter the "magic eye" of her mother-in-law Wang Jinghua, so even if she has given birth to a daughter, she always seems to be unjustified.
It wasn't until Sun Yi and Dong Zijian quickly chose to divorce that the public exclaimed: Wang Jinghua is indeed "China's first broker" and is also worthy of the name in handling family affairs!
Before Dong Zijian's debut, Wang Jinghua's title was definitely not "Dong Zijian's mother", but a "China's first agent" who could call the wind and rain and shake half of the entertainment circle at any time.
She was born into an ordinary family in the 1960s, but she has a unique understanding and passion for art since childhood.
While studying, Wang Jinghua chose the Chinese Academy of Opera, which is known to the outside world as the "cradle of opera artists", where she met a young man named Dong Zhihua, who knew and fell in love with each other, and soon cultivated positive results.
Dong Zhihua began to study Peking Opera at the age of 10, and later majored in martial arts performances, and starred in many film works in the early days, the most famous of which is the role of "fried ghost" in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu".
Wang Jinghua, who also studied drama, has taken a different path.
In 1991, Wang Jinghua, who saw that the entertainment industry had the prospect of vigorous development, began to start a business with 800 yuan, and the initial way was to act as an agent for celebrities.
At that time, she had no money and no network resources, but she was lucky to meet her classmate Zhang Jinglin when looking for a job opportunity.
Zhang Jinglin also graduated from the Academy of Drama, and later successfully entered the crew of the 1987 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", starring in the role of the dexterous Ya Gui Qingwen.
Because she quickly became popular after playing Qingwen, Zhang Jinglin changed her stage name to "An Wen", and also participated in the singer competition held in Beijing, so she met the composer Su Yue, and the two officially fell in love a month later.
In 1991, Zhang Jinglin and Su Yue returned from studying in Japan and began to engage in the cultural industry, so they met their old classmate Wang Jinghua again.
In fact, as early as the end of 1990, Su Yue began to cooperate with Hong Kong and Taiwan on the overall packaging and publicity of mainland stars.
Subsequently, Wang Jinghua entered the work of her husband Su Yue as an agent under the guidance of Zhang Jinglin, and it is said that her task on the first day of work was to be responsible for the brokerage work of the twin brother idol group Chuqi Chutong.
When the idol boy band Xiaohu team in Bay Bay was preparing to disband and withdraw from the competition, Wang Jinghua found a business opportunity and seized the opportunity at once and began to hype up this pair of idol students.
The brothers' immediately released albums such as "Youth Rules" and "Flying Higher and Higher" were hyped up by the company, which also made Wang Jinghua help the company make money, so she also made up her mind to cultivate in this industry.
With the template for the chuqi chutong brothers to become famous, Wang Jinghua gradually tried to sign other singers, such as Gao Feng, who once sang "Great China", and Dai Rao, who sang "Story is Story", all of whom were once artists under his umbrella.
It is said that Wang Jinghua's salary was not high at the beginning, a little more than 5,000 a month, although it was more than other colleagues, but it was a huge gap compared to the artists who now take tens of millions of films.
But she still worked hard, and soon met a new "nobleman".
In 1993, Wang Jinghua, who had been married to Dong Zhihua for several years, successfully gave birth to a son, Dong Zijian.
In the same year, she also met the actor Chen Daoming and worked as an assistant at his side.
At that time, Chen Daoming had already won important awards with full gold content such as the Golden Eagle Award, the Feitian Award, and the Golden Panda Award for starring in excellent works such as "The Last Emperor" and "Siege of the City", and was a big-name actor with good reputation and popularity.
Because he cherishes his feathers, Chen Daoming is quite demanding of the staff around him, but he is very willing to communicate with Wang Jinghua, who believes that Wang Jinghua is rigorous, serious, and courageous, and also instigates her to set up a film and television company and act as a film and television agent.
With the support of Chen Daoming, Wang Jinghua, who has been able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, resolutely began to start her own business, she established the Black Sea Red Day Agency, and Chen Daoming became the company's first signed artist.
After that, artists such as You Yong, Cheng Qian, and Xia Yu also "came to visit", and Wang Jinghua's "Caotai Team" gradually grew.
But don't look at today's "flower sister" calling the wind and rain, but just at the beginning of the business, she was also tired and tired.
It is said that Wang Jinghua has always adopted a "nanny-style" brokerage management method, going in the wind and rain every day, going out in the morning to pull business activities, drinking and socializing in the evening to talk about cooperation, she has done everything herself, and has never shouted bitterness and tiredness.
And Wang Jinghua is very good to his artists, never loses his temper, and will strictly control the resources of the artists, and will communicate with them as soon as he meets who is suitable.
In order to let the artists work well and rest well, even if they have achieved "the most cattle in the circle," Wang Jinghua will personally talk about the hotel standards, the number of assistants, and even the temperature of the bath water for the artists...
Guo Xiaodong will hunch over unconsciously in private, so wang Jinghua will remind him to pay attention to his tall figure as long as he is present;
The literary and artistic route that Zuo Xiaoqing has been taking is also checked by Wang Jinghua, and it is said that she once found each other with a set of photos with heavy makeup, and the result was a "education";
"Big Flower" Li Bingbing also suffered from Wang Jinghua's scolding in the early days:
At that time, she wanted to withdraw the script of the movie "Home for the New Year", and Wang Jinghua immediately called her and roared: "If you don't want to be an actor, just go home and have a baby!" ”
This sentence, "scolding" woke up Li Bingbing, let her win the Best Actress Award at the Singapore International Film Festival in one fell swoop, and gradually embarked on the road of "big flower"...
Years later, Li Bingbing's sister Li Xue also stepped into the brokerage industry and praised what she learned from Wang Jinghua:
"I think 'Flower Sister' here is a bit like the Whampoa Military Academy, and the team of agents trained from her in recent years is no less than the stars (so many)."
It is precisely because of the efforts to do the best, Wang Jinghua's performance has also been seen by people with hearts:
In 2003, Wang Jinghua joined "Huayi Brothers" and served as the CEO of the company.
Many artists also followed her into Huayi, and since then, Huayi has ushered in a stage of rapid development, which has also laid the foundation for becoming a super aircraft carrier in the mainland entertainment industry.
In those years, stars such as Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, and Ren Quan have become popular one after another, and behind this is absolutely indispensable to Wang Jinghua's meticulous layout and operation.
However, Wang Jinghua's cooperation with Huayi did not last long, and in 2005, she took a group of artists to choose to cancel the cooperation, and then entered Orange Sky Entertainment.
At that time, Chen Daoming, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui, Xia Yu and other artists also jumped ship with "Flower Sister", resulting in the Huayi brothers being "hollowed out".
After a long time, Wang Zhonglei said bluntly in an interview: Wang Jinghua's nanny-style "agency" method has a family-style approach, and contradictions between wang Jinghua and corporatization are inevitable.
Subsequently, the cooperation between Wang Jinghua and Orange Sky Entertainment also failed to start and end well, and after the contradiction between the two sides, Wang Jinghua ran away again and set up his own picking culture brokerage company.
Although the broker market today has changed:
Zeng Jia of Yang Mi Jia Xing Media, Yang Tianzhen, who calls himself "China's best agent", Yang Ming, agent of Taiyang Chuanhe, Lehua Entertainment of Hongwang Yibo, and Li Xue, sister of Li Bingbing, all have a large number of artists.
In this environment, which is no longer a monopoly, what are Wang Jinghua's advantages?
It is said that in addition to giving artists meticulous care and praise, Wang Jinghua also has his own insistence on being an agent, that is, he will not blindly cater to the market.
After she set up her own company, she signed artists such as Zhou Dongyu, Guo Jingfei, and Jiao Junyan.
Wang Jinghua used the resources in her hand to talk about works such as "You at the Same Table" and "July and Ansheng" for Zhou Dongyu, and sent her to the throne of the "Three Golden Shadow Queens".
She also received works such as "Nth Power of Home" and "33 Days of Lost Love" for Bai Baihe, which also made her have the label of the first person of "Chick Movie" after giving birth.
At the press conference of "To Catch a Demon 2" in 2018, Wang Jinghua made a rare appearance, and Bai Baihe has been affectionately wrapping his arms around her, leaving many photos, which has also made the public's impression of her change.
Also grateful to Wang Jinghua is Guo Jingfei, it is said that when the two signed the contract, "Flower Sister" only asked the other party to be a good actor, do not forget the original intention in order to pursue traffic.
Although Guo Jingfei's future development is indeed tepid, in 2019, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award of that year for a "All Is Good" film.
At the award ceremony, Guo Jingfei thanked Wang Jinghua for his promotion and cultivation, and bluntly said that "without Sister Hua, there would be no self today", which is also very heartfelt.
However, Wang Jinghua, who has such a high status in the hearts of artists, may not have expected that she would also encounter the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
After the birth of her son Dong Zijian, she has been busy with her career, often ignoring her son, and when the child is young, she often needs to take him with her to work together.
Therefore, in dong zijian's eyes, a big star like Li Bingbing is just a big sister he has known for a long time.
In 2012, Wang Jinghua began to gradually let go, retreated to the second line, and handed over most of the work in his hands to his colleagues, while Dong Zijian also entered the entertainment circle with a movie "Youth Faction".
Perhaps because of his strong resources, or perhaps because of his talent, Dong Zijian's first work was a success in the first battle - the following year he was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer with "Youth Faction", when he was only 20 years old.
Three years later, Dong Zijian successively took out excellent works such as "Junior Class" and "Mountains and Rivers", and in the same year, when participating in the Tokyo International Film Festival, he met actress Sun Yi, who fell in love with her at first sight.
Compared with Dong Zijian's family background, Sun Yi is indeed a "high climb" - she was born in a small town in the northeast, and her parents lived by setting up a stall, but for the only daughter, she is also regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand.
Sun Yi debuted very early, and has acted in works such as "Love Signed" and "The Legend of Mi Yue", because of her pure appearance, she has gained a large number of fans.
After the young Dong Zijian fell in love with Sun Yi, he immediately launched a passionate pursuit, and the two officially announced it the following year after they met.
But all this was not recognized by Wang Jinghua.
Anecdotally, Wang Jinghua was not optimistic about the origin and experience of her daughter-in-law, and once tried to exchange a villa in Beijing for the other party to leave her son, but Sun Yi did not agree, and even became pregnant.
After that, the public knew that Sun Yi and Dong Zijian were officially married in 2017, but they were rumored not to have obtained a license and did not have a wedding.
Although for a while, the media photographed Wang Jinghua taking Sun Yi and her son to choose a house together, and occasionally Dong Zijian would post about two women he loved deeply, but did they reconcile? It doesn't seem to be.
In various interviews, the public can see that Dong Zijian has always regarded Sun Yi as a treasure, and the signal displayed by the two is also: love is sweet to the point of snoring.
But in fact, they suddenly chose to break up after 5 years of marriage.
How many "efforts" of Wang Jinghua are behind this, the melon-eating masses do not know, but at least it shows:
Wang Jinghua, who can win more than 80 stars, has never intervened to praise Sun Yi, who has a child for her son, and her attitude is so obvious.
Now, all the dust has settled, and I have to say: ginger is still old and spicy.
