The first to appear were Huayi bigwigs Wang Zhonglei and Andy Lau, who opened not with a serious speech, but with a humorous talk show, which fiercely ridiculed Feng Xiaogang and other bigwigs in the film industry. However, Feng Xiaogang was surprisingly low-key, and even modestly said: "We are only suitable for art, not for business." ”
Feng Xiaogang's wife Xu Fan was not idle, and told the story of the episode when Wang Zhongjun borrowed 50,000 yuan from her in the early days of Huayi's business. Under Zhang Guoli's ignition, the audience applauded like thunder, and the atmosphere reached its peak.
Huayi Brothers announced a bold plan to "de-simplify the film" and issue additional 1 to Tencent, Ali and Ping An4.5 billion shares, raising 3.6 billion. Wang Zhongjun, who had cash in hand, began to invest frantically, buying antiques, calligraphy and paintings, companies, and celebrities, with a market value of nearly 100 billion, which was the peak moment of the Wang brothers.
However, money is not an invincible god. Huayi's wealth myth fell sharply after 2015, plummeting from a 100 billion empire to a debt-laden market value of about a quarter of Bona's.
Wang Zhonglei's daughter, Wang Wenye, who was once named "Huayi's little princess", has gone through a period of scenery. She is the rich second generation who showed off on Weibo that "idols are all my dad's employees", and the one who once jokingly called ordinary star-chasing girls "farmers".
In 2011, she jokingly wished Huo Siyan a birthday on Weibo, and mysteriously hinted: "Don't celebrate your birthday yet, quickly learn how to be a person." Netizens interpreted it as mocking someone for fooling around with her father's so-and-so. At this time, Huayi is in the limelight, and those stars who can't sign into Huayi are embarrassed to claim to be first-line.
Two years later, "Little Times" premiered, and Wang Wen also became Huayi's "little princess", but this glorious time was fleeting after all. At the same time as Huayi is declining, Wang Wen has also changed from a celebrity in the Beijing circle who speaks wildly to a new director who is now low-key and hardworking.
She once flaunted her family's wealth on the Internet, but now she is showing her passport and driving school to prove that she is Chinese. This cool Beijing celebrity has become a low-key and hard-working new director in the film industry, which makes people sigh at the impermanence of life.
Money can buy a house, but not a family; You can buy food, but you can't buy appetite; You can buy obedience, but you can't buy respect; You can buy power, but you can't buy wisdom. Here are some of the lessons she learned from the ups and downs of wealth.
Wang Wenye's friend Qi Meihe was once a well-known rich second generation in the Beijing circle. When she was 9 years old, she sang on the same stage with Jackie Chan at a large-scale gala, and "Country" became her masterpiece. Her father, Qi Jianhong, was a bigwig in the Beijing circle, and the Sparkle Roll Cinema he founded was once prosperous.
However, the cycle of fate does not last forever because of the glory of the past. Qi Meihe's family fortune collapsed overnight, and the wave of bankruptcy hit, and she became a bankrupt princess. She even had to open a store in ** to sell pirated clothes, and the speed of her fate changed was embarrassing.
Wang Wen also saw all this, perhaps touched in his heart. After she returned to China, although she had a middle-class appearance, she looked a little ordinary among stars. So, she entered the entertainment industry as a "young director" and showed her directorial talent through the variety show "Director Please Be in Place". This is perhaps a new direction she has found after going through ups and downs.
Wang Wenye's social ** attributes have also changed, and the once extravagant life has become an ordinary daily life. At the same time, Huayi Brothers is still struggling to move forward, and the destruction of wealth makes people wonder whether Wang Wenye, who has stepped on the ladder of wealth, can find her own direction and walk out of her own life path, all of which can only wait and see.
