director of the millennium

A few days later, Wu Yuan, who was busy with the post-production of "The Monkey King", rarely left the post-production center of Guangying Times and came to the Guangying Kuaibo headquarters on the upper floor of the company building.

After more than ten years of development, this CBD building, which originally only rented three floors, now belongs to Wu Yuan's "Light and Shadow Group". The bottom five floors are the office area of ​​Light and Shadow Times, including the brokerage department, the middle three floors are the headquarters of Light and Shadow Times cinema chain, and the top five floors are the headquarters of Light and Shadow Kuaibo.

However, even though they are only a few floors apart, Wu Yuan rarely comes to Guangying Kuaibo on weekdays. After all, he is more of a director than an operator or capitalist.

But this time, Wu Yuan had a reason to come to Guangying Kuaibo.

As mentioned before, under the pressure from the Big Three, the domestic platforms of Guangying and Kuaibo are now also developing towards the model of the Big Three and creating their own industrial closed loop.

This time, Chen Dewei approached Wu Yuan because he wanted him to sign a very important agreement, a cooperation agreement with several emerging domestic brokerage companies.

The times have changed.

In the past, actors had a lot of freedom and a lot of room to choose films. They basically just sat and waited for various scripts to be delivered to them, and then selected the suitable ones to sign.

But now you need to determine the partner first, and then within the framework of the partner, you have to shoot whatever script the partner gives you.

For example, if Guangying Kuaibo has a self-produced drama to be launched for production, and the level is S+ top production, it will first select suitable actors from those who have long-term cooperation agreements with the platform, and then let them perform.

The actor wants to refuse?
That doesn't exist. As long as you have a cooperation agreement with the platform and the contract stipulates that you need to shoot five TV series on the platform, then you have no room to refuse.

Of course, basically the platform will not deliberately give you bad movies to shoot. After all, the platform makes TV series to make money. Since there is a cooperation agreement with you, it means that your popularity and traffic are very high and can bring profits to the platform. The platform is afraid that you will go to the "rival" to film, so it will sign an agreement with you to tie you down. Naturally, it is impossible for them to give you bad movie scripts for no reason. They will give you the most popular S+ productions.

This is also the reason why these actors are willing to sign an agreement with the platform. Only after signing the agreement can they become its own people. Only then will the platform spend a lot of effort to support you, provide you with good script resources and subsequent promotion.

This operation was first started by the Big Three. Each of the Big Three has its own basic lineup of artists. These artists have cooperation agreements with the platform for at least 3-5 TV series. At least before the contract is fulfilled, they are considered artists of the platform and will not go to the rival platform to shoot S+ big productions.

Only when there is a cooperation agreement will the platform and the agency behind the actors have closer cooperation, including but not limited to helping promote its artists, bundling actor promotions and the like.

Today, Guangying Kuaibo is about to sign a cooperation agreement with two brokerage companies. This cooperation agreement will determine the allocation of resources for Guangying Kuaibo's self-produced dramas in the next five years.

At the afternoon working time, Wu Yuan came to the conference room of Guangying Kuaibo headquarters on the top floor.

At this time, representatives from two companies were already sitting in the conference room, discussing the details of the cooperation with Chen Dewei.

When Wu Yuan opened the door and walked in, representatives from both parties stood up to greet him. Chen Dewei also took the initiative to introduce them, "Director Wu, these two parties are the persons in charge of Chuan Di Entertainment and Yue Kai Films."

"They are here today to sign a cooperation agreement."

"In the next five years, the two companies will cooperate with us on 15 web dramas, at least six of which will be S+ level productions."

"We must also use their main actors to play the leading roles." "Come on, let me introduce you..."

Chen Dewei took Wu Yuan's hand and introduced him to him.

Chuanzhi Entertainment Co., Ltd., formerly known as Tianma Film and Television Culture Holdings Co., Ltd., was just renamed in April this year and acquired Horgos Houhai Culture Media Co., Ltd. in May.

Horgos is a film and television planning and editing team that focuses on content production. They produced the big movies "Extreme Challenge" and "Running Man", and they also have the movie IP of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". They also have cooperative programs with Blue Whale TV.

As for Tianma Film and Television, it is very impressive. It is involved in TV series, movies, and variety shows, and they are all very good. Its lineup of artists is also not to be underestimated.

The most important thing is that Yang Chaoyue, who became a phenomenal idol through the "101" program this year, is signed to this company. Zhao Silu, who has mixed reviews but is very popular among the post-95 young actresses, is also a signed artist under their company.

These two artists alone are enough to make it worthwhile for Guangying Kuaibo to sign a cooperation agreement with them.

However, Wu Yuan looked at the representative with a strange look. If he remembered correctly, Yang Chaoyue was a big scumbag. It seemed that there was something mysterious about her. She was very popular, but the web dramas she starred in were worse than the last. Even "Seven Times Auspicious" broke the lowest playback record of the platform.
So much so that later on, the Big Three simply shelved her and completely gave up on using her to film web dramas.

If Guangying Kuaibo cooperates with Chuanzhi Entertainment, wouldn't it have to use Yang Chaoyue as the female lead, and every movie would be a flop?
But Chuanzhi Entertainment also has Zhao Silu. Although this round-faced girl has mixed reviews and there are as many people who hate her as those who like her, the online drama era in the next few years will indeed be dominated by her and Bai Lu. Every drama they make is a hit and they make a lot of money for the platform.

The cooperation with Chuanzhi Entertainment is really a blessing and a curse.

Wu Yuan is also familiar with another company, Yuekai Film and Television, and is even more familiar with it.

Because Yuekai Film and Television is actually a company founded by the famous gold medal agent Jia Shikai. His company is very young, established only in 2015, but it has two pillars, Yang Yang and Song Qian. He is also the agent of Xiao Ming's wife. The IP of "Sito" is also in his hands, so it will not be a loss to cooperate with them.

Chen Dewei has a very good vision.

Wu Yuan, who basically did not get involved in the company's daily operations, gave him an appreciative look, then shook hands with the two company representatives: "It is an honor to cooperate with your company. I hope that our cooperation will go smoothly in the next five years."

"If there is no objection to the contract, then we are ready to sign it."

These two contracts are not small. They are large contracts involving nearly 50 billion yuan in funds, so Wu Yuan has to sign them in person.

This feeling made Wu Yuan feel very wonderful, and it also reminded him of a sentence.

Unconsciously, as the saying goes, he went from hating capital to understanding capital, and finally became a part of capital.

The signing of these two contracts also means that Wu Yuan's Guangying Kuaibo will become the behind-the-scenes promoter of the film and television industry in the next five years, and will personally bring out a group of online drama traffic stars and top actors. (End of this chapter)
