Reborn since 2005

The Gongdou drama, a major investment of Starlight Film and Television, was launched on January 1 at the Mango Exclusive Theater, and has since firmly occupied the first place in the national ratings.

High ratings will of course bring high profits, which can be considered a good start for the company.

This time, Yan Xin was in a happy mood when he went to the company to distribute work profits.

——Although I have known for a long time that this drama will be a hit, I will still be very happy when it actually comes true.

He didn't invest much money in this company, and the costs have already been recovered.

There are still some ongoing projects on hand, which, if his memory is correct, will bring him a lot of profits in the future.

He originally didn't want to make much money in this industry. The scope of this industry is not big, so he won't invest too much cost.

The next development will be driven by previous profits, and we will borrow some money when we encounter good projects.

Now the momentum seems to be quite good. The company has accumulated some capital and gained a little reputation in this circle. It is no longer the small company it used to be.

After Shan Zhengge's movie is released, Yan Xin feels that this company can try to produce film and television works on its own instead of riding on other people's projects.

The advantage of this is that you can better promote your own artists and promote your own company's traffic stars.

Zeng Yan’s biggest dream is for the company to have the ability to produce its own film and television works.

She wants to be the godmother of the industry, not an investor.

Before, she thought that to realize such a dream, Yan Xin would have to pay money from other companies.

This requires using big words like culture, sentiment, and mission to convince the boss to invest money.

But now that the company's performance is so good, she sees another possibility - using the money earned from the company's investment, she seems to have a chance to realize such a dream.

She is in a good mood now.

The panic that the last time she flattered her boss ended up on the horse's hooves disappeared a lot.

After the bonuses were distributed, the contracted artists did not hang out for long before they left the company and went about their own affairs.

The company's employees go to work as usual.

Yan Xin entered Zeng Yan's general manager's office and talked to her about the company's next development.

Are there any projects that can be invested in, and what are the expectations for the future?

Now the company is just a grassroots team. They have an office in an office building, which is their company's headquarters. The total area is only about a hundred square meters, and there are only a few permanent employees.

The office, which is about 100 square meters, looks very empty.

But if you want to engage in film and television production, it's different.

It's definitely not going to work for just such a leather bag company.

It requires a relatively large professional team, a much larger staff size, and a much larger office, which requires more money.

At present, the company does not have the ability to independently produce film and television works.

According to Yan Xin's estimation, preparations for this can almost start after the movie Shan Zhengge is released.

If I remember correctly, the box office of that movie was over one billion.

And their company’s investment accounted for the majority.

As long as it follows the original trend, that movie can bring them a profit of one or two billion.

Coupled with the profits generated from other projects, we can really prepare to engage in film and television production.

Shan Zhengge's movie will be released in the second half of this year.

This means that we can now start planning things in this regard.

This must be prepared in advance.

This is what he and Zeng Yan want to talk about.

Zeng Yan's general manager's office is quite large, taking up about half of the company's entire office. It has an office area, a separate bathroom, and a lounge for resting.

The two people entered the office and closed the door. Yan Xin felt a strange feeling in his heart.

The two of them had talked about the company's development alone in this office before, but he didn't feel this way.

However, this time they were alone together was the first time the two of them had been together in this closed space since the last incident.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall what happened after the last time he drank. It was like dreaming or waking up, the ambiguous feeling, and Feng Xi's speculation.

Then, he unconsciously glanced at Zeng Yan again.

Now that spring is getting colder, Zeng Yan doesn't wear much. She wears a slim-fitting professional suit, a black suit on the upper body, and a white shirt underneath. It's hard to tell whether she's wearing thermal underwear under the white shirt, which tightens her body and outlines her figure. A very exaggerated arc.

The lower body is a mid-length skirt with black silk underneath. There should be a bare leg artifact with a thermal effect inside the black silk. Otherwise, it would be too cold to wear so little in this weather.

It should be because of the addition of the bare leg artifact, the legs look plump.

Very womanly feeling.

When I was standing outside handing out work and profit with him, I didn't realize that now that this woman sat down, her legs looked particularly plump and full of flesh.

What brought Yan Xin was a completely different feeling from those of his other women.

None of his women had such voluptuousness.

Another word emerged inexplicably in my mind - the charm is still there.

Then he thought: "Actually, if it was really her that day, it doesn't seem like she would be at a huge disadvantage."

Zeng Yan saw where his eyes were headed, but she could only pretend that she didn't see anything. She just quietly changed her posture to make her legs look longer and slender as much as possible.

——She felt her legs were a little too thick.

It wasn't that thick originally, but after wearing the bare-leg artifact, it naturally became thicker.

Yan Xin also noticed her movements, feeling a little embarrassed. He coughed, sat across from her, and talked to her about the company's development plan:

"You mentioned before that we can produce our own film and television works. At that time, I felt that the time was not yet ripe and we had to do it slowly. Now I feel that the time is almost ripe and we can start preparing for this."

As soon as she said this, Zeng Yan lost all her ambiguous thoughts. Her eyes lit up and she said happily:
"Really? Can we start preparations now?"

She has been in this circle for more than ten years, and her biggest dream is this.

I have made so many sacrifices, and I am still prepared to make so many sacrifices, just to realize this dream.

It has become her obsession.

Now that I see the possibility of realizing my dream, I am naturally excited.

I can't even care about those messy things.

Happiness came so suddenly that she couldn't control her emotions.

"Yes, I think we can start preparations," Yan Xin said, "Of course, I don't mean to establish such a film and television production company now, but I mean that we can prepare for this matter, and you can start now Pay attention, get in touch with more talents in the industry, and try to build a professional team.”

"I know, you have to do it slowly." Zeng Yan controlled her excitement, and then asked, "Boss, what do you mean, when will we establish such a company?"

"The end of this year or the beginning of next year," Yan Xin said, "it depends on your progress."

"I will work hard!" Zeng Yan said. This is her dream.

Of course there is motivation to realize your dreams.

Next, she told Yan Xin about some people she knew, which ones could be signed to the company, and which ones could be used for long-term cooperation.

She is also very clear about what it takes to set up a film and television production company, and she has always been paying attention to these things.

Now when I talk to Yan Xin about this, I am not afraid at all.

Yan Xin is just an outsider. After entering this industry, he cannot be regarded as an insider. At most, he can only be regarded as a half-insider. He knows more than people outside the industry and knows more gossip.

But he doesn't understand many professional things.

Zeng Yan needs to tell him this.

Zeng Yan told him some things, but he couldn't remember them.

Anyway, I understand one thing: setting up a film and television production company is much more complicated than setting up an investment company.

The investment is also much greater.

But the money earned is not necessarily more than the investment in ride-hailing.

The advantage is that you can take the initiative, determine the project yourself, and set up the game yourself, instead of riding on someone else's ride.

In this way, you will have more advantages by praising your own artists.

Now they are signing all amateurs.

But if you want to set up your own film and television production company and an agency, it is best to spend a little more money and sign a few stars.

Just relying on a dozen or so amateurs would not be enough to save the game.

——If you don’t even have a star, who will invest in your project? Who will buy your series?

Yan Xin agreed.

Then they talked about which artists could be signed.

The criterion for "can be signed" is not whether those artists are famous enough or have sufficient market value, but also whether they can be signed.

For those who have signed contracts with other companies and their contracts will take a long time to expire, don't think about it.

They can't afford that break fee.

There are also some top stars, so there is no need to think about them.

Zeng Yan knew that her boss was not a very generous person and was reluctant to spend so much money to sign a top star.

What she can provide are some free agents in the circle that she feels have a certain appeal, or stars whose contracts will expire in one or two years.

There are also a few who have signed long-term contracts with other companies, but their positions are not high and their liquidated damages are not high, but she feels they have great potential.

Dozens of goals are available at once.

Of course, it is not necessary to sign all the dozens of targets. The company does not have that much money.

Just choose a few to sign among these dozens.

There are not that kind of superstars, but there are second- and third-tier ones. There are a few who are already in the first-tier in terms of popularity. They are just acting in TV series and don't have enough celebrity status.

The domestic film industry is currently in a slump, and there is no talk of its rise. Most of the films are losing money. Therefore, even if she establishes a film and television production company, Zeng Yan does not want to invest in films for the time being, but will develop into TV series and variety show production.

When it comes to TV dramas, it’s enough to be popular; it’s not that important whether the star is famous or not.

The most expensive one here costs tens of millions, which is not a small number.

Even if you just sign four or five such stars, it will cost two to three billion.

This is a relatively risky investment.

But there are advantages - with stars of this level, they can better bring out the amateurs they signed.

Zeng Yan has been in the industry for more than ten years and has been the general manager of a film and television investment company for more than a year. She is quite good in the industry and knows a lot of inside information.

The lists she provided were all ones she felt she would not lose if she signed them.

There were a few of them that she thought were quite worthwhile.

Yan Xin listened to what she said, but it didn't include Damimi, which made him feel a little regretful.

Of course, it's just a little bit of regret.

After all, it was just a thought from the previous life, not that important.

But in the list provided by Zeng Yan, he also saw several stars who would become popular in the future.

It seems that Zeng Yan still has two brushes and good eyesight.

However, there are also some in this list who later collapsed, and some are has-been stars who later became quiet.

He is an outsider, but he has an advantage, that is, he is a reborn person, has a memory of the future, and knows which stars will become famous later and which stars will become confused again.

He has a great say in who to sign and who not to sign.

As Zeng Yan spoke, he remembered.

By the time Zeng Yan finished speaking, he had written down a dozen names in his notebook.

He highlighted a few of them and said to Zeng Yan:

"These are the ones I am more optimistic about. Next, you can contact them to see if you can sign them. The signing period should be as long as possible."

Zeng Yan took his list and looked at it. Some agreed and some disagreed.

But she did not object. Instead, she accepted the list and said:

"I understand, boss, I will do what you ask."

"If you can sign, sign it. If you can't sign, don't force it," Yan Xin said, "We're not saying that we have to have a certain person. We can't sign people to the company. At worst, we'll just save the day and let them take photos of our works and bring them with us. Our people.”

It is of course the best to be able to sign with a company. Accepting endorsements, selling goods through live broadcasts, and filming film and television works can drain the commercial value of stars.

Here, the profits that filming film and television works can bring are actually not that big, and the main value lies in other aspects.

Therefore, it would be the best to be able to sign it.

If a few first- and second-tier stars can be signed in a year, Yan Xin can start the star-driven model next year.

The earlier you enter the market, the earlier you can make profits.

This is much faster than slowly cultivating amateurs signed by your own company.

Of course, the cost will be correspondingly higher.

It is also very important to cultivate your own stars, and you must not fall behind.

Next, they will create a professional brokerage team to sign more new people and better develop their business value.
