There are two business "big shots" in the mainland film industry: Wang Zhongjun and Zhang Weiping. One "handles" Feng Xiaogang's films while the other "steers" Zhang Yimou's films. If it weren't for these two people planting commercial benchmarks in films, box office revenues of Chinese films calculated in hundreds of millions yuan might have to wait for another two years. Recently, with Feng Xiaogang's new New Year release "If You Are The One" about to be released, the life experiences of this behind-the-scenes mastermind Wang Zhongjun has also drawn attention. Not long ago, Wang Zhongjun was a guest on CCTV's economic channel chatting about his own behind-the-scenes news.

But contrary to expectations, Wang Zhongjun failed in the college entrance examination. Nevertheless, he confidently referred to himself as an "amateur painter". He even drew a sketch of Li Yong on the spot.
