The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 414 Welcome to join (Thanks to Mr. Clocifer for being the leader)

"How is that person doing now?" Liu Shishi's voice came on the phone.

Lu Yuan clutched his cell phone and looked through the car window at the bustling crowd not far away.

"Still the same as before. He stayed around the set all day long and got drunk. Everyone knew him. He had a fight with someone just now and has already called the police."

"Why doesn't he go back?"

"I heard from Chuck Tractor that this guy owed loan sharks abroad. He is a bad person. He spent a lot of money to get the opportunity to go abroad this time. If he doesn't make money, he probably won't dare to go back."

He withdrew his gaze, not wanting to waste any energy on the other person.

"You should be honest and film in Hengdian, go online less, ask less, and don't think too much. I can handle my own affairs. If the situation really develops to the stage where you need to take action, it is probably completely hopeless. You, please be more considerate. Put it on the character.”

"Na, na, na," Liu Shishi muttered aggrievedly and quietly on the phone.

"Hmph, I miss you. You've been mean to me all day long. You're just like my dad now."

"I won't tell you anymore. The next scene will start filming soon. Please pay attention to your safety when you return to Beijing. Kiss, boo~"

Taking advantage of the fact that she lived close by, the doggy man would threaten her parents by coming to her door and complaining, which was really annoying.

Build your own brand, recruit senior planners, publicists, etc., and form a capable and efficient team.

There have been cases in the past, and artists have been vigorously moving towards this avenue, which has become a common trend.

The current star studios can be roughly divided into three types.

When Lu Yuan was filming on the set of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", he once heard a piece of gossip.

The company once accepted a breast enhancement advertisement for her. Fortunately, she was strong enough to avoid this fate.

The emergence of this model has also completely changed the current operation of the entertainment industry's brokerage field.

The last type is a studio led by an agent.

"Liu Haha, I noticed that you seem to have a lot of opinions on your uncle recently? How about I go talk to him tonight."

Lu Yuan choked and said speechlessly: "What does it mean to be like your dad? Sister, what did I say just now that meant to hurt you?"

According to the investment ratio and after tax, the net profit he received from this movie was just over 1 million.

For news events that break out temporarily, the company must first be asked for a response, etc., and everything is restricted.

Lu Yuan hung up the phone, leaning his head against the car seat with a smile on his lips.

When ordinary celebrities cooperate with brokerage companies, they usually open at 28%.

It happened that he didn't have any scenes in the past two days, so he took a leave from the crew and went back to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet.

However, domestic box office dividends are generally settled 3 to 6 months after the movie is released, and the specific time is subject to the signed contract.

There is no doubt that Lu Yuan chose the second option.

Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Ren Ting opened personal studios one after another.

As Fan Bingbing was the first person to try something new, her success was naturally seen by everyone.

Li Yuchun, as the "first sister of Tianyu".

During the filming period, screenwriters came to me with scripts from time to time, and directors came to seek cooperation.

It has shifted from being centered on film and television companies and agents to being centered on individual celebrities.

But if you open a studio, it's different. Not only can you choose the job you like, but you also have more say and a lot more freedom.

Negotiate the film and television works that you will star in, and at the same time use your rich resources to drive the operation of the entire studio and explore new areas.

For celebrities, money must be the most critical reason for opening a studio.

Celebrity personal studio, Fan Bingbing started his career in 07.

The quality of the script and whether the director is worth the investment all require him to go back and personally consider and decide.

At the same time, preliminary progress has been made after the announcement of the Stars Project.

When signing the contract, it was stipulated that it would be 6 months, which meant that Lu Yuan had to wait until June next year if he wanted to get all the shares.

"Thirty-Three Days of Love" was not initially favored by theaters.

In addition, the biggest benefit of Star Studio is that it has the right to speak.

It is not limited to investing in film and television dramas, signing artists, directors, etc.

The crew of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is about to finish filming in Tianmo, and will next move to places such as Bayi and Dajue Temple.

The star gets two points, and the company gets eight. No matter how big a celebrity is, the company will take 10 to 20 percent of the most generous treatment.

……

"Love Is Not Blind" was released, with a final box office of 4.92 million.

"Oh, brother, no, I was wrong." Liu Shishi begged for mercy from the opposite side.

When signing a contract with a brokerage company, the artist's appearance in programs and events must be arranged by the company.

The second type is an independent studio established by the artist himself, which is the most popular form among A-list stars.

The first is that although a personal studio has been established, it still relies on the company.

When the time is right, the studio will be further upgraded and transformed into a media company.

Distant studio.

Located on Zhaoyang Road, in the Cultural and Creative Park, it is a single-family building with two floors.

Pushing open the glass door, the first thing that comes into view is a wooden fan-shaped screen.

"Eh!" Wen Muye stared at the screen, curious as to why he didn't see the studio's logo.

Wu Lang led the way, knowing what he was thinking without looking back, and explained with a smile.

"The boss has designed several plans himself. Sister Shi Shi thought they were ugly, so she put them on hold for the time being without coming up with the results of the discussion."

He added: "If you have good ideas later, you can put them forward."

The left side of the first floor is the workstation area, and the right side is the employee rest area, which also includes bathrooms, small conference rooms, computer rooms, etc.

Because it has just been renovated and has not officially opened for business yet, there are no other employees.

The style of the studio is unique, with white as the main tone, exuding a fashionable and refined atmosphere. There are many green plants dotted around the corners, making it eye-catching.

A lot of thought was put into the design, Wen Muye thought as he looked at the layout of the first floor.

"When we first selected the design plan, it was not like this." Wu Lang led him to the rest area.

"The boss thinks that white doesn't stand up to dirt and is troublesome to clean, but Sister Shi Shi thinks white looks good and insists on choosing this set. He has no choice but to agree."

"Well, this gray leisure chair was also chosen by Sister Shi Shi."

"I didn't realize it, senior brother is quite henpecked." Wen Muye tried on the chair and made a joke.

Wu Lang glanced at him in surprise, realizing that this man was not as honest as he looked, but rather a bit sultry.

He nodded in agreement: "That's right."

The two of them walked up the stairs while chatting.

"The second floor is mainly occupied by some offices, such as finance, and large conference rooms are here."

Stopping in front of Lu Yuan's office, Wu Lang coughed and pressed his shoulder to remind him.

"Kino, you will most likely be the first director signed by our studio. We will be colleagues from now on. Let me tell you the truth first. The boss looks polite on the outside, but he is everything. I don’t care, I’m actually a little careful about Sister Shi Shi.”

As he was speaking, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Lu Yuan came out of the tea bar holding a teacup, followed by two people. He turned around as he spoke the words that came to his lips.

"Here we come." Lu Yuan nodded towards Wen Muye.

He wears a white T-shirt, a cheap black suit, black-rimmed glasses, a big nose, and very thick lips. At first glance, he looks quite naive and gentle at the same time.

Wen Muye bent down slightly and shouted, "Hello, senior brother." "You're welcome, Teacher Tian praised you to the sky on the phone." Lu Yuan stepped forward, hugged him affectionately, and patted his back.

"Here, let me introduce you." He looked at the two people behind him.

"This is Jiang Qiuyun, currently the executive agent and assistant."

"Hello, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Qiuyun waved her hand politely, but glanced at Wu Lang without trace.

This guy is now the manager of the studio, and he also worked as an assistant before.

Lu Yuan pointed to another person and introduced: "This is the publicity director of the studio, Zhang Wenbo."

Zhang Wenbo and his Yingxingtianxia Studio are indispensable for the popularity of "Love Is Not Blind".

Naturally, Lu Yuan would not let the talent go, so he invited him. The two parties reached a cooperation, and he came here specifically to sign the contract.

Fumino greeted them one by one. He has not graduated yet. To him, these people are all industry bosses.

Wu Lang didn't know if Lu Yuan heard what he just said, so he pushed the door open like a dog.

"Everyone, please stop standing at the door and come inside to chat."

"Yes, come in."

As they passed each other, Lu Yuan patted Wu Lang on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully.

"Be careful, my manager Wu, don't press your hands when opening the door."

Wu Lang said to himself that he must have been heard, so he looked at Jiang Qiuyun.

Jiang Qiuyun gave him a helpless expression, wishing that he would fall out of favor soon.

Wu Lang: "."

The layout of the office is simple and elegant, with a floor-to-ceiling window that provides excellent lighting, making the room bright.

On the right side of the door, there is a desk at the end.

At the back, there was a built-in bookshelf with some random things placed on it, and Lu Yuan's artistic photos were hung on the walls on both sides.

Several people sat down on the central sofa, and Jiang Qiuyun was busy pouring tea.

Wen Mino put his hands on his thighs and felt his palms were wet.

When he came, he prepared a lot, thinking about how to express his love for movies and his abilities.

But when he really saw Lu Yuan, he found that he couldn't think of anything for a while.

During the school anniversary, his mentor Tian Zhuangzhuang came to him and said that Lu Yuan wanted to find an alumnus to be an executive director to assist in filming.

He was confused, Lu Yuan was a big star, and his salary for a TV series was over 10 million.

I never dreamed that I could have a relationship with the other person.

Fumino was born in a single-parent family. Due to the environment in which he grew up, he was extremely unsure of himself.

His grades were not good either, and he had been labeled a bad student for more than ten years. In the college entrance examination, his total score was less than 300, so he had no choice but to study in a TV directing major in three colleges. According to industry parlance, he was considered a non-professional.

It took me three years to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and I only got admitted to the Nortel Directing Department this year. There is no one else.

Apart from his love for movies, he feels like a waste.

Fumino can predict that after graduation, he will face the same situation as most new directors.

Because I don’t have a strong background, and I haven’t officially shot any representative works.

I can only run into obstacles everywhere in the circle, but in the end my love for him turned into a passing cloud.

Unexpectedly, fate suddenly gave him a beam of light.

"Drink tea." Jiang Qiuyun brought a cup of tea over.

"The boss doesn't like coffee, so he didn't have time to prepare it."

"Thank you." He stood up quickly and took it with both hands: "It's okay, I can't get used to drinking that stuff."

As soon as he sat down, he saw Lu Yuan walking out from behind the desk with a document in his hand. He stood up again.

"Why are you so nervous? Sit down quickly." Lu Yuan placed the documents on the coffee table.

"Here, let's take a look. If there's no problem, we'll sign the contract."

Just as Fumino was about to reach out to take it, his body froze, his mouth slightly opened, his eyes blank, and he stammered: "Don't you need to say something?"

"What did you say?" Lu Yuan put his arms on the armrests and leaned his upper body back slightly, sinking into the sofa.

"Teacher Tian was full of praise for you. Before you came here, he let me watch the short film "Stone" you made. I thought it was OK, so I signed it."

Lu Yuan just needs an assistant director to help him keep an eye on the monitor while he is filming. The requirements are actually not high.

Of course, if you have talent, it will be better.

He recalled Tian Zhuangzhuang's introduction to the directing graduate student and asked, "Why, you don't believe in Teacher Tian's vision?"

"No, no, it just feels like a dream."

After saying that, Fumino didn't even have time to read the contents of the contract, so he turned to the last page and signed his name without hesitation.

Lu Yuan saw everything in his eyes and asked with a smile: "Why are you so straightforward? Aren't you worried that I will set a trap for you in the contract?"

"Don't worry!" Wen Mino's eyes were determined.

"Oh? So confident?"

"Because I believe that anyone who dares to invest 100 million in the Stars Project must love movies and this industry more than I do. If such a person is willing to set a trap for me in the contract, it would be an honor for me."

"Hiss!" Wu Lang narrowed his eyes. No, there is something wrong with this person.

Wen Muye didn't know what the general manager was thinking.

His grades in school may not have been great, but he could see clearly.

When people interact with each other, they essentially use each other.

But now, he is just a student and has no use value.

Thinking too much would be disgusting, and he was indeed grateful and admired Lu Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

The instructor said that the works of many young creators are actually very vital and full of talents and dreams.

But they lack Bole, a leader, and the opportunities given by this market.

The reason for this phenomenon is mainly caused by the general environment of the Chinese film market.

Four words to describe it, that is, eager for quick success.

Investors, after investing money, hope to see immediate returns.

Therefore, we focus on established directors, are unwilling to try and make mistakes, and ignore young directors.

In addition, many young directors also have their own problems, and they come up with one thing at a time, making cooperation full of uncertainty.

As a result, the resources of the production unit are more willing to be tilted towards some successful directors.

At the same time, when audiences and theaters choose movies, most of them will start with big investment and big reputation.

After several rounds of screening, many young directors were unable to attract investment at all.

And Lu Yuan is willing to give them a chance and support their dreams with real money.

For today's young directors, this is a ray of light.

Lu Yuan stood up and extended his hand: "Welcome to join."

PS: I will find time to add the updates for the three alliance leaders starting this month. I haven’t forgotten them. I will always remember them.
