Entertainment: Stepmother’s daughter is actually a future queen

Chapter 139 Rashomon, the final conspiracy
The next day, Lin Kaihai drove and took Su Qingtong to the plane again to film. Filming a TV series is really hard, the length is too long, and the shooting is far away. Lin Yu's "Infernal Affairs" has been filmed for more than a month. Over there? , I have to work for at least two more months.

And it won’t be easy next. We have to shoot scenes of traveling around the world, going to some mountains to capture scenery, etc. The trivial scenes in Hengdian have already been filmed.

"You guys go back." At the entrance of the station, Su Qingtong smiled slightly, as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face, and waved his hand. His eyes passed over everyone, and he paused for a moment on Lin Yu, then looked away, and then dragged him with one hand. Carrying a suitcase, he slowly walked in.

As soon as I got home, there was another man in a suit and leather shoes wandering in front of my house.

Su Meijing and Lin Kaihai have long been accustomed to it. Ever since the two children entered the entertainment industry, it has become common for all kinds of strange people to visit their homes.

"Hello, are you..." Lin Kaihai stepped forward and asked proactively.

"Mr. Lin, right?" The person who came here must have been in the sun for a long time. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his collar was a little wet. However, he actually spoke Mandarin very well with a difficult accent. It's difficult and difficult to understand, but the enthusiasm on his face is clear to everyone.

But the other party came straight to the point, and Lin Kaihai soon realized, "I am a friend of Director Liu Weiqiang, Fan Zhiwei, and I currently work as the deputy director of the Artist Management Department of Emperor Entertainment."

"Ah, hello, you!" Lin Kaihai was shocked by the huge background of the other party.

Unfortunately, this name is too loud. Even outsiders know this person's reputation. Emperor Entertainment is one of the giants of Hong Kong artist companies.

Not to mention it has a mixed reputation, but this company has developed from a small watch shop and now has become the emperor of countless industries such as real estate, hotels, finance, entertainment, movies, publishing and printing... It is indeed the emperor of this era. Next, one of the giants in Xiangjiang.

It has an astonishing number of superstars and resources. It is not only a production company, but also an artist company and a record company.

All in all, a hodgepodge of everything you can imagine is available at King's.

This man in a suit and tie, with a little greasy hair, turned out to be the deputy director of the Artists Department of the Emperor. Didn't Lin Kaihai get shocked?

You know, what is the position of deputy director of the artist department?The director has already said that he is the top agent in this circle.

Further down here is one of their directors. What's the matter? It's not his subordinates who come here, but his director himself.
Could Lin Kaihai not be shocked?
"Come in, please come in!" Lin Kaihai immediately greeted warmly, but he didn't dare to ask others to talk outside the house. He led Fan Zhiwei into the house first, turned on the air conditioner first, and let Fan Zhiwei, who was half-baked to death, The deputy director cooled off, and then went to make tea for Fan Zhiwei with enthusiasm.

Fan Zhiwei first looked around the environment. He was cheerful and put his hands on his knees. His whole body was full of affinity, and there was no sense of oppression like that of a superior person.

"Thank you, thank you." As a cup of green tea was brought over, Fan Zhiwei finally said these two words more accurately.

"Mr. Fan, are you here about Xiaoyu?" Lin Kaihai asked curiously.

On the other side of Xiangjiang, in this family it can only be because of Lin Yu.

"Yes." Fan Zhiwei said cheerfully after taking a look at Lin Yu, and stretched out his hand to push up his glasses, "Before, Xiaoyu was taking the college entrance examination, so I didn't dare to disturb him rashly, so as not to distract Xiaoyu."

"It's like this. Director Liu Weiqiang tried his best to recommend Lin Yu to me. Over the past few days, I have comprehensively watched Lin Yu's audition, his performance in the demo of Infernal Affairs, some of his performances on the set, and After I got some test videos from Central Television, I decided to come over in person."

"It's like this. Our Emperor is interested in signing the artist Xia Lin Yu... Of course, this is very special, because our Emperor usually only signs actors from Xiangjiang operas. Not only does it get a share of signing contracts with actors from Mainland China, it's also One of the very few.”

"But we are particularly optimistic about Lin Yu's development potential."

"Our main resources are also in Xiangjiang. This may have certain constraints on Lin Yu's future career. However, to be honest, in recent years, we at Emperor have also had the desire to expand channels and develop in the mainland, and we have gone to the mainland for development. We also lack actors who can take the lead, and I hope you can take this into consideration."

Fan Zhiwei spoke very slowly, trying hard to make everyone understand what he meant.

It's only natural!
As a giant in Hong Kong, signing the contract with Emperor represents a huge market choice.

Lin Kaihai and Lin Yu couldn't help but look at each other.

Although the arrival of Fan Zhiwei was surprising and unexpected, it was not unexpected.

Lin Yu doesn't have anything to do with his agency yet, and even Andy Lau is interested in it. How can Liu Weiqiang turn a blind eye?
For this reason, Lin Kaihai stopped talking and just left some room for Lin Yu. He thought he didn't know much about this. When Lin Yu grew up, it was up to him to make his own decision.

"What conditions can the Emperor give me?" Lin Yu said seriously and without any politeness.

As the saying goes, it's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. The Emperor is indeed very powerful, but isn't there also a huge number of underwhelming artists under his banner?Why are you, Lin Yu, pretending that as soon as you join the Emperor, you think people can praise you?

What he says now is nice, and the deputy director came to visit him personally. If he turns around and turns his face, no one will be able to find him.

Fan Zhiwei's personal visit did show a certain attitude, but it was not enough. Only when it was implemented in the contract could the determination of their attitude be reflected.

Fan Zhiwei smiled slightly, he didn't mind Lin Yu's attitude at all.

Logically speaking, if Renyinghuang can sign you, he is doing it to give you face. Talent does not mean he can stand out, but what he values ​​​​is Lin Yu's self-respect and the desire to sell at a price.

Only those who truly understand their own value are worthy of knowing your value!
"Since I'm here in person, it's just four words, 'absolutely privileged'." Fan Zhiwei said word for word, "Classmate Xiao Lin, we are full of sincerity towards you, please don't doubt it."

"You are not different from those ordinary actors."

"First, our Emperor's contract has four levels, trainee contract, artist contract, elite artist contract, celebrity contract, and superstar contract... I won't make fun of the trainee contract that sucks the bones and sucks the marrow. Let's go directly to After the discussion, the plan I will finalize for you is to directly sign contracts with elite artists."

"The contract is signed every 20 years, but it is renewed every five years. It only goes up but never goes down. That is, if you become famous, we will give you a star date. Even if you get confused again, we will always give you a star date. Yes. It won’t go down.”

"The contract for elite artists is like this. The share ratio is [-]/[-]. It is a full agent contract, covering all platforms and all fields, such as record contracts, film and television contracts, advertising contracts, and trailers."

"We are free to agree on the obligations of our Emperor."

"For example, some artists pursue fame, and they will ask us to provide them with more announcements and film-making opportunities. However, some artists live a very Buddhist life and like to 'go to the mountains to practice deep cultivation.' information."

Fan Zhiwei smiled, as if he had done a lot of work as an agent and had seen all kinds of people, "This part depends on your needs and can be customized by you, classmate Lin Yu. This is a very, very big privilege."

"We only have appointments with a small number of celebrities, and only dating with superstars has this kind of privilege."

"The above is part of the contract. I believe that with our Emperor's connections and financial resources, you don't have to worry about your income. We will casually contact you for a jewelry endorsement, which can directly amount to tens of millions a year... Of course, it depends on you. fame."

"So as a rule, you have to develop quietly in the early stage and create your own works. We will give priority to matching you with some small brands whose original endorsement fees are not much higher, so you can earn money first."

"And with our connections, in the Xiangjiang circle, you will have a steady stream of film dates."

Fan Zhiwei smiled, "Of course, that's not the point."

Fan Zhiwei said seriously, "The following is by no means a pie-in-the-sky pie. Our Emperor is really interested in entering the mainland market and has already taken the lead in establishing a production and film company and an artist company... But as you know, the market in Qinzhou He’s also quite mature, and it’s not easy to eat meat from other people’s mouths.”

"We didn't say that we expect you to expand our territory and become our pioneer and big name... We will definitely pay high prices to recruit celebrities to our banner, and then produce works and open up the market."

"But there is no doubt that you will be our core successor potential and the main mainland artist we have trained ourselves."

"After all, we are all emperors, but we don't have many mainland artists." Fan Zhiwei smiled and said, "Otherwise, there would be no need for me to come in person. I am just here to show my sincerity to you."

"Twenty years is too long." Lin Yuyi frowned.Fan Zhiwei hesitated for a moment, but still retorted, "This is unshakable. If you are worried about some issues, we can implement them in the contract."

"To be honest, our Emperor has experienced too many betrayals. It takes at least five years for an artist to grow from cultivation to growth."

"Just when we are about to harvest, if someone runs away, who should we ask for loss?"

"I beg your pardon for this. In fact, wherever you go, you have a 20-year contract, unless it is a small company or a trainee contract." Fan Zhiwei said calmly.

Lin Yu understood, but also pondered. After all, this contract was not signed blindly. Although the Emperor was full of sincerity, it was also a huge opportunity. He could even join forces with Yu Bai to stab each other directly on this main battlefield. round.

But after all, a 20-year contract is too long.

"Thank you, I'll think about it carefully."

"If you have any other questions, you can ask me now." Fan Zhiwei smiled, "My flight in the afternoon will leave soon, and I won't even be able to catch up with dinner. If you have anything, you can call me and ask me."

"If you've thought about it, please come to Xiangjiang, let's interview and sign the contract. Since Infernal Affairs is there, Xiaoyu will definitely come."

"Well, the actor's contract should be signed sooner rather than later. Don't delay it for too long. Even if you don't sign a contract with our Emperor, Xiaoyu, I hope you can come up with an idea this summer."

"Rogue practitioners are like enemies of all the brokerage companies in the world, trying to steal their food. Isn't that the truth?"

"Thank you, Director Fan."

The family sent Fan Zhiwei away, and when they came back they couldn't help but whisper, "Emperor, Xiaoyu, what do you think?"

Lin Kaihai said curiously.

Su Meijing on the side did not say anything. Although her daughter was the one who signed the contract, Yixin was only fifth or sixth in Qinzhou, and could not compare with a giant like Xiangjiang Emperor.

Moreover, the director personally invited him, which was enough to show that the Emperor valued Lin Yu.

"Hey, the contract is too long." Lin Yu scratched his head. When Fan Zhiwei left, he said something right. It is impossible to continue practicing casually. This is tantamount to being an enemy of everyone and stealing Others eat.

You have to join a faction.

But Lin Yu actually hates this feeling. Lin Yu likes to have his destiny in his own hands.

"I wish I could open my own company and use it as capital." Lin Yu murmured.

Of course, this is just a matter of thinking. This is not a matter of whether you have money or not. If you are still a fledgling, if you do this, you are seeking death. This is a matter of connections.

Just like Ghost Story, not to mention the effect of localization, it is not a question of whether it is worthy of being released directly to theaters. In terms of quality, of course it is worthy.

But can you do that directly?
Who are you? The movie theaters will arrange films for you?You must have read too many Long Aotian novels.

You said that someone else’s movie was a big hit in your last life, so your movie can also be a hit?
That Bright Sword was also remade into a thunder drama!
On one side is Andy Lau’s Canopy and on the other is the King of Kings. Which one should I choose?

Or should I say that I am developing in mainland China now and waiting for mainland brokerage companies to come to me?
Of course, not to mention that this is troublesome and time-consuming, how can you be sure that your importance can exceed the degree to which these two companies currently value you?
Fan Zhiwei's visit was tantamount to making Lin Yu fall into a new entanglement. He thought about it over and over at home for a few days, so he made a phone call and visited Li Hong.

On the phone, Li Hong thought for a while and gave Lin Yu a fair evaluation.

"The Emperor's connections must be good, but as time goes by, who will know what happened?"

"So many actors and actresses who were close to each other at the beginning also fell out with each other later. Could it be that they were not on good terms from the beginning?"

"Of course, young people, sometimes you don't have to think so far ahead. Can you really come up with any results if you look forward and backward?"

"If you are worried, you can stipulate in the contract that you can shoot a movie at most every year."

"Okay, don't act like an 80-year-old man, hang up!"

"..."

Lin Yu hesitated for a while, wondering if there was a trap here, so he simply called again and visited Liu Weiqiang.

Liu Weiqiang was busy. After receiving the call, he expressed that it was indeed true and hoped that Lin Yu would think about it carefully. He was just a middleman who facilitated the matter.

After hanging up the phone again, Lin Yu was really shaken.

Liu Dehua was sincere, but Lin Yu intuitively told himself that there seemed to be a problem with the sky curtain, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

Fan Zhiwei was also sincere, but his intuition also told Lin Yu that the Emperor also had a problem, but after asking around, he couldn't hear anything wrong.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, Lin Yu suddenly sat up in shock in the middle of the night.

Why not just ask Andy Lau directly?
As a direct competitor, he must know the problem better than others!
Fan Zhiwei probably wouldn't have thought that Lin Yu could ask such a question.

Just as he said, Lin Yu called Liu Dehua directly. The person who answered the phone was an assistant. One minute later, Liu Dehua picked up. It seemed that he was still asleep.

Lin Yu briefly explained the situation.

Opposite me, Liu Dehua was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke, "Lin Yu, even if you don't sign a contract with me, I suggest you absolutely not!"

"why?"

"Fan Zhiwei and Lu Jinshan were friends from the same photography company more than ten years ago. I'm afraid Liu Weiqiang doesn't know this."

Lin Yu's expression suddenly changed.

"If he signs you and freezes you for 20 years, what will you do?"

"You said you could agree on a contract, but did you agree on the quality of the movie?"

"I'll give you a third-level movie, will you take it? A bad movie, will you accept it?"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu held the phone and his face was ashen.
