Entertainment from Divorce

Chapter 563 Ma Guoliang Terminates the Contract

Jianjiang, Hengdian Film and Television City.

The crew of "The Court of Night", in a makeshift lounge.

Jiang Bei, who had just finished filming a scene, returned to the lounge, picked up his teacup, and drank it.

Although the weather is not hot anymore, he has been busy with filming, which also makes him sweat profusely and talk dry.

But the effect is more gratifying.

The original story of "Night Palace" is one after another, which is extremely exciting. Coupled with his strict quality control, Jiang Bei is full of expectations and confidence in this drama!

Sitting on the chair, Jiang Bei picked up his phone, opened the photo album, and looked at the exquisite photos he had accumulated.

When he is free every day, he is not studying the script, but is looking at these photos, thinking in his mind, how can he fully shoot these beautiful scenes and show them on the TV screen.

While looking at the photo album, the phone suddenly received several messages.

Jiang Bei opened the message, it was from the deputy director of the department.

"Director Jiang, Bright Entertainment's new play is coming out, and Tan Yue is still the screenwriter, and I got some news that Tan Yue will also serve as the assistant director in the new play."

"This is my summary of some materials about Tan Yue's new play. You can take a look when you have time."

Below is a document sent by the deputy director.

Jiang Bei looked back, clicked on the file, and read it.

Jiang Bei is now in the director circle, and his status is already very high. The TV series he has produced can be said to be at the top in terms of quality and ratings.

But for Tan Yue, Jiang Bei really didn't care about half a point.

This young man who has just entered the TV drama circle, but has only made two-step dramas, made Jiang Bei, who has been filming for nearly [-] years, have to correct his attitude.

Because those two dramas are both hit dramas!
Jiang Bei carefully read the information sent by the deputy director, and his brows frowned.

"Tan Yue's new play is actually a court play?"

"The male lead is looking for Jiao Cheng, and the female lead is Xin Zhi. The cast is pretty good, much better than in "Lotus Lantern" back then."

"It's just arrived at the actor audition process, and the time for the start-up has not yet been determined."

Jiang Bei looked at the information and analyzed it in his heart.

"According to common sense, it shouldn't hit the schedule, but it doesn't have to be." Jiang Bei thought.

He has studied Tan Yue's plays, whether it is "Lotus Lantern" or "Underground Traffic Station", the shooting time is relatively short.

Especially "Underground Transportation Station", which was only filmed for more than two months, was still criticized by many people on the Internet.

"The Court of Night" has already reached the middle stage of filming, and it is estimated that in less than half a year, it will be finished.

If the shooting speed of Tan Yue's new drama is the same as the shooting speed of "Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station", then it is really possible to hit the schedule.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bei couldn't help frowning.

Regarding the collision with Tan Yue's new drama, Jiang Bei was looking forward to it but also apprehensive.

What I expect is that he really wants to fight against Tan Yue. He lost to Tan Yue last time. This time he will start again. He thinks that the results of "Night Palace" will be better than "Palace Ancestral Hall". Find the place in your hand.

But I'm also worried, because Tan Yue's strength is really strong, and there is a high probability that the performance of the new drama will be very good.

Jiang Bei really didn't know whether he could beat Tan Yue or not.

After reading these materials, Jiang Bei put down his phone, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

This news made his originally relaxed mood heavy.

If Tan Yue's new drama is still filmed as fast as "Underground Traffic Station", then Tan Yue's new drama and his "Night Palace"

, it is very likely that it will really hit the schedule.

After reading the information sent by the deputy director, Jiang Bei was no longer in the mood to look at the photos to accumulate for himself.

He found the assistant director's phone and dialed it.

The phone rang twice and was connected.

"Hey, Old Xu, pack up a copy of the film you took before and send it to me, and I'll check it a few more times."

On the phone, the assistant director asked suspiciously: "Director, haven't you passed all those films? Why do you want to watch them again?"

The heaviness and worry in Jiang Bei's heart naturally wouldn't tell the assistant director, but said: "It's okay, I just want to take another look to make sure that every plot is ok."

"Director, you are worthy of being a well-known director. This rigorous attitude surpasses most directors." The assistant director sincerely admired, "Director, let me sort it out now and send it to you later."

"Okay, old Xu, thank you for your hard work." After Jiang Bei finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Bei felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders, so he had to make sure that the plot of "The Court of Night" was foolproof.

The accumulated things can be arranged in a row at the back.

Go through the movie again now.

On this day, in the afternoon, Qin Tao, the director of artist management department of Bright Entertainment Company, was in the office looking at a document sent by his subordinates when he suddenly received a call.

Glancing at the caller ID, Qin Tao pressed the answer button and said with a smile, "Hello, Teacher Ma."

The caller was Ma Guoliang.

Before that, Ma Guoliang had played important roles in two major dramas, "Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station", especially as one of the protagonists in "Underground Traffic Station".

During that time, Ma Guoliang also received Qin Tao's call.

On the phone, Ma Guoliang's voice came, "President Qin, I want to talk to you about signing a contract."

Qin Tao raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and asked, "Mr. Ma, is the matter over there settled?"

"Well, the contract has been terminated." Ma Guoliang said.

Qin Tao was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said, "Okay, when Teacher Ma has time, just come to the company to find me, and let's talk about signing the contract."

Ma Guoliang had previously revealed to Qin Tao that he wanted to terminate the contract with the original agency and sign with Bright Entertainment.

Qin Tao was also very concerned about this matter.

Ma Guoliang's acting skills are excellent, and more importantly, Mr. Tan is very optimistic about him. If he can be signed to the company, it will be a great thing.

It's just that "Underground Traffic Station" has just finished broadcasting. I thought that even if Ma Guoliang wanted to terminate the contract with the original company, he would have to wait for a while. I didn't expect the news of the termination to come so soon.

"It's a bit late today, do you have time tomorrow morning?" Ma Guoliang asked.

Qin Tao smiled and said, "If I have time, I will be at the company tomorrow."

"Okay, President Qin, I'll go to Bright Entertainment to find you tomorrow morning." Ma Guoliang said.

"Haha, okay, then I'll wait for Teacher Ma in the company." Qin Tao said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Tao thought about it for a while, and felt that she should talk to President Tan about this matter.

According to the normal process, if Ma Guoliang signed a contract with Bright Entertainment, he would sign a second-tier contract.

Second-tier contracts are usually signed to second-tier stars, or third-tier stars with great potential.

However, Ma Guoliang has a good development prospect, and he is very likely to become a first-tier public figure in the future, and now he is also at the forefront of second-tier public figures.

The key point is that Ma Guoliang and Mr. Tan have a good relationship. If Mr. Tan thinks it is appropriate, it is also possible to sign Ma Guoliang with a higher-level first-level contract now.

The main thing is to see what Mr. Tan has to say.

Qin Tao was not in a hurry to ask the secretary to make preparations, but after arranging her thoughts, she got up and left, going to Tan Yue's office.

Back to this morning.

Beijing, Beicheng District.

Spark Media Entertainment Inc.

Xinghuo Media Company is a third-rate entertainment company in the circle, and its development is not bad.

In the office of Zhang Hong, Director of Artist Management Department.

Zhang Hong sat behind the desk with a somewhat unsightly face, opposite Ma Guoliang who looked calm.

Zhang Hong took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ma, you should think about it again. There is no need to terminate the contract. If you feel that the company has done something wrong, the company can change it. And on behalf of the company, I will apologize for some bad things done before." place, I apologize."

"No need to apologize, Mr. Zhang, let's terminate the contract. I will transfer the liquidated damages to the company directly." Ma Guoliang said.

Looking at Ma Guoliang who was determined to terminate the contract, Zhang Hong was also quite depressed and annoyed.

After all, Starfire Entertainment is only a third-rate entertainment company, and the high-quality resources in the company are limited.

In this case, these high-quality resources must be given priority to the company's first brother and sister, as well as other potential artists that the company is extremely optimistic about.

An artist like Ma Guoliang who has no face value, no background, and no characteristics is not worthy of the company's high-quality resources to cultivate.

Ma Guoliang is indeed good at acting, but in the entertainment circle, are there few actors with good acting skills?

If there is no good opportunity for pie in the sky, Ma Guoliang probably will be an ordinary second-line actor in his whole life.

But who would have thought that the opportunity to drop the pie in the sky really appeared this day, and it fell directly on Ma Guoliang's head.

At the beginning, many people were not optimistic about "Lotus Lantern", but Ma Guoliang signed up for an audition, and then he really made him succeed in the audition, and starred in "Lotus Lantern" as the roaring dog.

After "Lotus Lantern" was broadcast, it quickly became popular, and Ma Guoliang, who played the role of Roaring Dog in the play, also became popular because of his many roles and superb acting skills.

Relying on the achievements and popularity of "Lotus Lantern", Ma Guoliang's ranking on the list of second-tier public figures soared rapidly, rising directly from the middle and lower reaches of the second-tier public figures to the top [-].

Even in the months after the broadcast of "Lotus Lantern", Ma Guoliang's ranking on the list of second-tier public figures still rose rapidly, far surpassing others.

Because "Lotus Lantern" is so beautiful, it is regarded as a classic by many people, many people rewatch it, and many people come to watch it admiringly.

The rise of Ma Guoliang has also attracted the attention of the company's top management.

Just when Ma Guoliang's rising momentum gradually slowed down, "Underground Traffic Station" in which he was one of the leading actors exploded again.

Moreover, the popularity of "Underground Traffic Station" surpassed that of "Lotus Lantern"!
Compared with "Lotus Lantern", "Underground Traffic Station" has another very important advantage, that is, this kind of sitcom, when it is easy for people to think of it, they will turn it out and watch it.

As a result, there are many viewers who have three brushes, five brushes, and what's even more terrifying is that there are ten brushes.

This situation can be said to be too terrifying.

How does a TV series have to be so good that the audience can rewatch it ten times?
Even the few recognized classic TV series filmed in the earliest years can't reach this level.

Tan Yue also knew about the situation that many people on the Internet said that seven brushes, eight brushes, or even more than ten brushes, but he just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it. In the eyes of other people, it seems incredible, but in Tan Yue It seems that it is understandable.

After all, in Tan Yue's previous life, there were a few sitcoms, such as "A Biography of XX", "Children of XX", and "Apartment of XX", which were written in units of 'years'.

Like "So-and-so Gaiden", this drama has been watched by many netizens for more than ten years. They watch it several times a year or even once or twice a month. have it all.

This is the unique charm of sitcoms.

At present, some people in the film and television circles have discovered this and started to study the genre of sitcoms.

But after all, Tan Yue has taken too much lead, and there is still a long way to go to reach Tan Yue's level.

The explosion of "Underground Traffic Station" made Ma Guoliang take a big step forward on the road to becoming popular.

Up to now, Ma Guoliang has ranked [-]rd on the list of second-tier public figures.

It can be said that in the eyes of many people, Ma Guoliang is like a miracle.

The first brother of Starfire Entertainment is also a second-tier actor, ranking eleventh on the list of second-tier public figures.

Although Ma Guoliang's current ranking is not as good as the company's No. [-] brother, sometimes, the celebrity status of an artist is not only based on the ranking of the public figure list.

Of course, the most important reference element is the list of public figures.

It's just that there are other elements for evaluating stars besides the list of public figures.

But now, Ma Guoliang's popularity and traffic on the Internet, and even his future development potential, far surpassed that of the company's first brother.

Following Ma Guoliang's popularity in "Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station", he has also received olive branches from many great directors, as well as invitations from several TV stations' ace variety shows.

These resources, even Starfire Entertainment, are difficult to obtain.

And Ma Guoliang got it by himself. Someone in the company evaluated Ma Guoliang. Through these resources, he is likely to enter the list of first-line public figures.

You know, among all the contracted artists of Starfire Media, there is no first-line big star yet.

It can be said that the current Ma Guoliang is really valued by the company's boss and senior management, and can even be cultivated as the company's first brother.

But at this time, Ma Guoliang asked to terminate the contract with the company.

This news was really like a blockbuster, which made many leaders of the company dizzy.

Starfire Entertainment definitely disagreed with the termination of the contract.

But there is no way to disagree, and Ma Guoliang is willing to pay the company liquidated damages.

At the beginning, because the company didn't value Ma Guoliang, it signed a contract with him at a lower level. This kind of low-level contract provides few resources and low benefits, but at the same time, the liquidated damages are also less than higher-level contracts. A lot, just over three million.

For ordinary people, more than three million is not a small number.

But for Ma Guoliang now, more than three million yuan is really affordable.

Now, Ma Guoliang came to terminate the contract with the company with more than [-] million liquidated damages.

With Ma Guoliang's insistence, Starfire Entertainment had no choice but to agree to terminate the contract.

"Teacher Ma, have you really decided?" Zhang Hong still didn't give up, and asked again.

Ma Guoliang nodded, with a firm tone, "It's decided!"
