China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 249 Joining the Group and Investing in Shares

When the news that Lu Tianwang led the Golden Melody Awards with seven nominations came back to the mainland, the media caught wind of the news and called Star Media one after another to extend interview invitations.

Among them, there are many media with official names.

However, at this time, Lu Yuan had already joined the cast of "Xiu Chun Dao" and did not have time to be interviewed for the time being.

As a martial arts movie, action design is the top priority.

The action direction of "Xiu Chun Knife" this time is the same as that of the original version. Sang Lin, Yuan Kui's favorite disciple and now developing in Hollywood, serves as the action director.

Sang Lin has a lot of experience. He has been engaged in martial arts since the early 90s. After the turn of the millennium, he followed his master Yuan Kui to break into Hollywood.

Although the fighting scenes in the original Xiuchundao are not textbook level, they are also unique among martial arts movies.

This time, leveraging the relationship with Universal Pictures, Star Media invited Sang Lin to serve as action director.

Wang Qianyuan, Hu Ge, and Jiaqian layman Zhou Yiwei had already joined the group in late May for targeted training.

Lu Yuan was a little late for a few days because of his busy schedule.

"Director Sang, I will be troublesome for you in the next three months."

At the training base, Lu Yuan saw Sang Lin in a black training uniform, while Hu Ge, Wang Qianyuan, and Zhou Yiwei were conducting special training in the distance.

Strictly speaking, the leading actors in Xiuchundao are not action actors, so they will undergo a 20-day special training.

Closed special training.

During the training period, the diet is strictly controlled, no communication equipment is allowed, no leave is allowed, and no accommodation is allowed.

All the food, drinks and shit are done at the training base.

of course.

Communication equipment is returned to trainees at night's break.

These regulations also apply to Lu Yuan.

The moment he stepped into the training ground, Lu Yuan's mobile phone and computer had been locked in the cabinet, and he had changed into training clothes.

"Mr. Lu, the training plan I have set is a bit strict. If there is any offense during the training, please don't mind."

After shaking hands, Sang Lin made his attitude clear in advance. He would not treat Lu Yuan differently because of his status as an investor.

Action directors also rely on word of mouth. Outsiders will only worry about the actors when they see whether a movie is good or not.

But insiders and film and television companies are different. They will think of action directors immediately.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to treat them differently for the sake of Yuanjiaban's signature.

"Should be."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "Everything is for the movie. During training, Sang will guide you. You should criticize and make corrections."

"Okay, let's get started!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan officially joined the special training team.

"Boss, you are finally here."

Seeing Lu Yuan joining, Wang Qianyuan joked breathlessly: "I've been very tired these two days, and you can't run now."

"Hu Ge, do you think so?"

"Haha."

Hu Ge sweated profusely and put down the two ropes in his hands: "Yes, Ayuan, you can't escape this time."

"Instructor Sang, you have to train him hard later."

On the other side, Zhou Yiwei also stopped training, but he did not speak rashly.

In fact, Zhou Yiwei was very confused when she received the audition invitation for "Xiu Chun Knife".

He is so transparent, why would Star Media invite him?

Moreover, in the character introduction, [Ding Xiu] is an important supporting character with many roles.

After much thought, he couldn't figure it out.

Not only was he unable to figure it out, but his agent was also confused.

Zhou Yiwei's agency is in charge of the sage Chun Qiu.

This company was founded by Hai Yan. Zhou Yiwei initially rose to prominence through Hai Yan's drama. Now, he can barely be considered a second- or third-tier actor.There is a reputation, but only a little.

Moreover, there is no cooperation between Hai Yan and Xingchen Media.

This is why Zhou Yiwei is confused.

Of course he didn't understand.

Boss Lu chose him because, firstly, he was impressed by the "adding money" scene, and secondly, because he was related to a company that Lu Yuan was about to invest in recently.

Recently, Morningstar Fund is about to invest in a company called [Xinian TV Culture Communication].

The boss of Xinian TV Culture is Cao Huayi, and the proprietress is Gai Lili, an actress with the same name as Xu Qing in the 90s.

correct.

Xinian TV culture is also the predecessor of Xinli Media in the future.

Previously, Cao Huayi was the general manager of Zhongsheng Chunqiu Film and Television. He first followed Hai Yan and served as the producer of Hai Yan's drama.

As the times changed, Haiyan dramas declined day by day. Cao Huayi also left Haiyan, established a new company, and started his own business.

Lu Yuan’s investment in Xinli followed the path of Enlight Media.

Wang Changtian and Cao Huayi are both graduates of the Journalism Department of Fudan University. They are both alumni and film and television practitioners.

The relationship between the two has always been good.

Speaking of which, Wang Changtian asked Lu Yuan first about investment.

Entering 09, actors' remuneration has been on the rise. Originally, a single-episode remuneration for first-line actors was enough to exceed 10 yuan.

This year, the salary for a single episode has exceeded 20.

The salaries of other second- and third-tier actors have also increased, including those behind the scenes.

Even the lunch boxes have increased in price!
Cao Huayi has been working in the film and television industry for more than ten years. If he wants to invest, there will definitely be no shortage of people to give him money.

But compared to money, he values ​​​​the help investors can provide more.

Resources are more important than money.

Many things cannot be bought with money.

Therefore, he immediately thought of his alumnus Wang Changtian.

Then, Wang Changtian found Lu Yuan.

Although Star Media was established not long ago, it still needs money and people. "My Love from the Star" made Zeng Li famous.

"Twinkle Twinkle Star" made Qiao Zhenyu a popular niche and also made newcomer actor Tan Songyun famous.

The currently airing "The Best of Us", although it has not yet become a star, has performed very well on local channels, and Jing Tian and Lin Gengxin are also becoming popular.

One drama has one star, and its ability to create stars is terrifying.

In the future film and television industry, Xingchen Media must be at the top of the list. Therefore, Wang Changtian incidentally brought Xingchen Media into the ranks of investors.

When Cao Huayi learned about this, not only did he not object, but he warmly welcomed Star Media's capital injection.

Although Lu Yuan is nearly two rounds younger than them, at their age, face is not as important as dignity.

If Xingchen Media becomes a shareholder of Xinli, it will be much easier for Xinli Media to recruit people in the future.

After all, Xingchen Media is notoriously stingy in signing people, and many actors want to get on the line with Xingchen Media but can't.

Although joining Xinli is not as good as signing directly with Xingchen Media, it is still a curved path to saving the country.

After discussing the investment intention, Lu Yuan reciprocated and sent an audition invitation to Zhou Yiwei.

It's an audition, which basically means it's an appointment.

As for why the opportunity is not left to Xinli, it is because Xinli has not yet entered the brokerage business.

Xinli currently has no artists in their prime.

What happened behind the scenes was not only unknown to Zhou Yiwei, but also to the management staff of Zhongsheng Chunqiu.

Only Hai Yan knows.

However, Hai Yan was not very involved in the company's operations, so he did not tell anyone in the company specifically about it.
