I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 260: "The Great Sheng Dynasty" suddenly went online, and Chenxi set up an investment department

Jinli knew about Lian Baozhi's experience during this period, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Some people are like weeds. If you give them a chance, they will grab it and rise against the trend."

Sui Lingfang nodded in agreement: "Who knew she would be so bold? Although she is a first-tier star, she doesn't have the arrogance of a first-tier star."

Despite being looked down upon by his arch-enemy, he still insisted on participating in the same program with her, just for the sake of becoming a hot topic on the Internet.

Not every star can do something that repeatedly tortures their self-esteem.

Even first-tier stars have different personalities.

Some front-line workers work hard and earn their status through their works, and they are particularly protective of their privacy.

However, some first-line celebrities have risen to the top by sensationalism. In order to create a good effect for the show, they do not hesitate to reveal their family affairs publicly.

It's just to entertain the public.

It is very difficult to struggle in the entertainment industry, but it is not difficult either. Everyone has their own opportunities. It just depends on whether you can seize them.

Just like Lian Baozhi, she always got the worst cards, but relying on her shameless spirit, she managed to turn bad cards into good ones, which is also a kind of skill.

After Jinli learned about the recent hot topics, she began to process the messages on WeChat.

Every time a film is finished, she will post on her Moments to commemorate it, and this time is no exception.

She posted all the final photos of everyone in "Assassination" on her Moments, and many celebrities left messages with words of blessing such as "congratulations".

Besides.

Some celebrities would deliberately send messages to chat with Jinli to get close to her, asking about the new drama she was going to shoot and whether there was a chance to work together.

These stars want to find Jinli to guide them. Maybe Jinli remembers them and recommends one or two small roles to them?

They are not picky!

Amidst all the congratulations, Xu Wenwen's message on WeChat Moments stood out.

Xu Wenwen: [Finally finished filming, it was not easy, I hope everything goes smoothly in the future]

Jinli had just replied to her "Everything goes smoothly", and a message from Qiu Qiwen on her Moments popped up on her phone a moment later.

Qiu Qiwen: [After all the hardship comes happiness, everything will be smooth! ]

Jinli also replied to her: [Let’s work hard together! ]

She took a look at the comments of the two people. Before she joined the group, the two were quite hostile to each other, but unexpectedly, their comments were very consistent.

In the pink girl group.

Jinli finished filming today, and sent a message in the group chat, which immediately became active.

Carp: [Finished! Picture.jpg]
Lianhua: [I’m so jealous. You’ve finished filming, but my disaster is about to begin. The Great Sheng Dynasty has suddenly been aired tomorrow!]
Lotus: [I played the second female lead. It was my first time acting. I was so scared of being publicly executed!]
Ji Qinglian's news was more important than Jinli's, and it shocked all the lurkers.

NANA: [I won’t mention my dramas, they are all youth idol dramas, showing off their capital, there is nothing much to say, on the contrary, it is Lotus’s “The Great Sheng Dynasty”, which is really worth paying attention to (looking forward to)]
Meng Meng: [The marketing efforts of “The Great Sheng Dynasty” are not small. There have been people leaking news since the filming started last year. There was another leak last month, and it became a hot search. This time it suddenly started airing, and there will definitely be a lot of attention.]
Pearl: [Why so sudden? Aren’t you going to make an appointment to watch the drama?]
Even Gong Zitong, who has never paid much attention to film and television, asked this question specifically.

Tongtong: [The Great Sheng Dynasty directed by Mo Xiaosheng? My family is looking forward to it, and I am looking forward to it too]
Lotus: [Don’t you never watch these idol dramas? @Tongtong]
Tongtong: [Director Mo Xiaosheng doesn’t shoot idol dramas, but serious dramas. He just likes to use young actors with good acting skills and good images.]
Lotus: [I feel a little excited when I’m suddenly praised (covering my face shyly)]
Tongtong: [But if you don’t shoot well, it will become a stain on the director]
Carp: [I feel heartbroken]
Pearl: [Well done!]
Meng Meng: [Calm down the anger of the lotus on top (snickering)]
Jinli looked up from her phone and asked Sister Fang: "Do you know that "The Great Sheng Dynasty" will be broadcast tomorrow?"

Sui Lingfang's eyes flashed with confusion: "The Great Sheng Dynasty?"

It took her a while to remember something, and she looked a little excited: "You said that "The Great Sheng Dynasty" will be broadcast tomorrow?

It's definitely tomorrow, how come it's so sudden? I didn't receive any news!"

Seeing her like this, Jinli knew that the crew had kept the launch of the show very secretive. She didn't quite understand why they had to go online all of a sudden, and it looked so rushed.

Sui Lingfang hesitated for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of the policy.

I heard that ancient puppet dramas have been rampant in recent years, and many plots have been changed. There is news that the trend will be tightened in this area this year, and the entire ancient drama sector will be affected. "

She continued, "Besides, 'The Great Sheng Dynasty' is produced by director Mo Xiaosheng, and the whole industry is paying attention to it. Netizens are also keeping an eye on it. A tall tree attracts the wind, and I am afraid that being too high-profile will cause unnecessary trouble, so it is better to launch it in a low-key manner.

Whether a drama can become popular depends on publicity, but also on quality.

Once "The Great Prosperity Dynasty" starts airing, there will definitely be no lack of popularity, so there will be no need to organize any online activities.

As long as the show can be successfully broadcast, it will be a victory."

Jinli's eyes sank slightly: "Sure enough, the early broadcast of each drama represents the trade-offs of all parties behind it."

The group was still very lively, and Ji Qinglian revealed some more information, but it was limited.

She was more worried that her acting skills would be harshly criticized by netizens.

I took on this drama in the first place in order to keep a low profile and avoid risks, and I didn’t have the idea that “it would definitely become a hit”.

Ji Qinglian did not expect that so many people would pay attention to "The Great Sheng Dynasty", which put a lot of pressure on her.

Carp: [Does Zhang Guang know about this?]
Lianhua: [I know. He was the one who informed me to start the show temporarily.]
Carp: [Don't worry, he's a smart guy. He will definitely prepare some crisis PR for you in advance. You can try to talk to him openly and exchange sincerity for sincerity.]
Lotus: [I am a little hesitant, after all, my previous agent...]
Carp: [Give it a try. I have had a lot of contact with Marchday and Zhang Guang. Zhang Guang definitely contributed half of the success of Marchday. They have a very good relationship with Zhang Guang, as close as brothers.]
Seeing this, Ji Qinglian hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind.

Lotus: [I will ask him later]
An hour and a half later, Jinli was sent to the apartment by Sui Lingfang.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Sui Lingfang asked her to go to bed early and go to the company for a meeting tomorrow.

Jinli also wanted to know the news about the two dramas she was filming, so she gestured "OK" to her.

I was very tired after the whole day. Jinli didn't start the live broadcast after taking a shower. She forced herself to finish a foreign language test before going to rest.

When she woke up early the next morning, she opened WeChat and found that Gu Cheng had sent her a message after she went to bed last night.

Gu Cheng: [Are you asleep?]
Gu Cheng: [……]
Gu Cheng: [I cried so hard today, isn’t that a bit embarrassing?]
Jinli smiled with her eyes slightly curved, and replied to him——

Jinli: [Yes, ugly]
Jinli: [Don’t cry next time (fierce.jpg)]
After replying, Jinli went out for a run. For some reason, Gu Cheng's tearful face kept echoing in her mind.

They say women are made of water, but when Gu Cheng started crying after getting into the role yesterday, her tears kept flowing like a faucet.

Jinli came back after exercising, picked up her phone and took a look, and somehow changed the note for Gu Cheng.

From the previous [Gu Dajuan·Orange], it was changed to [Lin Daiyu·Orange].

She nodded with satisfaction, feeling much better.

This is Gu Cheng.

After waking up, I saw the text message sent by Jinli and fell into self-doubt.

Chen Lin got up sleepily and went to the bathroom. Suddenly he saw Gu Cheng sitting in the living room, ready to go. He was startled and said quickly:
"Am I late? What time is it now? I'll go pack it right away!"

Gu Cheng shook his head seriously: "No, Xiaolin, am I ugly when I cry?"

Chen Lin: ???
"Are you crazy? Why are you asking this so early in the morning?"

Chen Lin himself was in a daze.

After using the bathroom, he returned to the bedroom and took out his phone to see that it was only 6:30 in the morning. He couldn't help but mutter, "What a psycho!"

At 8:30 in the morning, when Yan Xingdong came to wake everyone up, Chen Lin shared his morning experience with everyone.

Everyone else couldn't help but look at Gu Cheng. Yan Xingdong asked, "Why are you interested in my crying expression?"

Gu Cheng's expression froze, and for the sake of face, he didn't want to say anything.

Luo Yi suddenly thought of something: "We are going to hold a concert tour in a month. Are you worried that we will burst into tears and look ugly?"

Chen Lin suddenly clapped his hands, "Yeah, I remember the concert two years ago, we all cried, it looked so ugly in the video, the makeup was all off!"

He looked at Gu Cheng excitedly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. It's you who are prepared for a rainy day!"

Yan Xingdong was successfully led astray: "So in our free time, we have to practice crying scenes?"

Luo Yi agreed and said: "We can't lose our idol image. We should create a 'fairy man crying' scene and let our fans praise us for crying beautifully!"

Gu Cheng: ...

No, he didn't have that idea.

But Gu Cheng thought about it and decided, forget it, he had missed the window for the best explanation, so he might as well let this wonderful misunderstanding continue.

On the other side, Jinli came to Chenxi Entertainment for a meeting.

When Chenxi Entertainment resumed operations after the New Year, it received praise from President Xiao and received an investment of 50 million yuan. The entire company began to become wealthy again.

Sister Fang mentioned this to her.

Chenxi Entertainment is not the most outstanding one in Mr. Xiao’s business empire. After all, Mr. Xiao has many listed companies in his hands.

The growth rate of Chenxi Entertainment is such that its performance last year only increased by 20% compared to the previous year, which ranks in the lower middle position among all companies.

Companies in this position generally cannot obtain any large investments and can only engage in internal competition, where whoever comes out ahead gets paid.

However, because it involves entertainment attributes, its artists often become hot topics.

Especially since it was on the positive hot search, Mr. Xiao felt very proud, so he was so happy that he just threw some money casually.

The words "randomly" and "throw away" are used very well.

After returning from the crew of "Assassination", she hasn't been to the company for four months. Now, she feels that the company's appearance is different.

The most obvious sensory change is that there are more people, no longer just a few people like before.

More stars are being recruited, but they still don’t recruit trainees. Instead, they recruit those who can be launched at any time.

After seeing Jinli, these little stars greeted her warmly.

"Good morning, Sister Jinli!"

"Is Jinli back from filming?"

"Sister Jinli, please keep working hard!"

Jinli blinked and smiled back.

"Sister Jinli!"

Gong Jiajia ran up from behind, jumped to her side, took her hand and asked her all kinds of questions.

She couldn't keep the secret and soon told everyone about the recent changes in the company.

The department expanded...

There are more stars and staff...

The contract profit ratio has also become more relaxed...

"By the way, Sister Jinli, did you know that the company has set up an investment department?"

Jinli was stunned, "Investment Department? What do you mean?"

Gong Jiajia said: "The company will withdraw part of the funds and invest in some small and medium-sized films. We hope to achieve internal circulation of funds with the help of the investment department and follow the model of making money, investing, making money, and continuing to invest."

Jinli thought about it and shook her head slowly: "It's difficult."

In fact, what she wanted to say was that it was unreliable.

If it is placed in a large brokerage company like Tianding, then it is possible.

But Chenxi is so small that the company's expansion currently depends on the kindness of President Xiao. The money earned from celebrities is simply not enough for them to play like this.

But how much money can Mr. Xiao give?
Even if tens of millions of dollars is invested in a film, it won't make much of a splash.

That’s why Chenxi Entertainment decided to invest in small and medium-sized films, but it’s still difficult.

The cost of small and medium-sized films is also not simple, and it seems that Chenxi Entertainment can only invest one or two million for each film.

If it is not in this range, how many dramas can they invest in?
Not even ten of them may be available.

For big productions, the investment amount is too small and they don’t even want to let you in. Even if you can get in, the dividend ratio you get will be too small.

This amount of money is acceptable for small productions, but considering the cyclical nature of the film and television industry, the return of funds is slow...

Jinli stopped commenting on her face, but shook her head again in her heart.

If half of the ten films you invest in can be released, you are considered lucky.

But it is hard to say that Chenxi Entertainment will definitely suffer losses if it sets up an investment department. Maybe they don’t want to cast a wide net, but instead take a gamble and invest a large amount of money in just one or two films?
If one of the movies becomes a hit, there will be even more funding.

Gong Jiajia was quite interested in the investment department. She was still young and full of energy, and had not been poisoned by the office culture. She said happily:
“Sister Fang said that she would let all the artists under her company participate in the investment.

If the company invests in a drama, it can allow the artist to choose not to receive pay, or only receive part of the pay, and put the rest of the pay into investment, and enjoy the dividends of the finished film. "

Jinli's eyelids jumped.

Gong Jiajia: "It's a pity that I'm not an actor, otherwise I would also like to take a gamble and try my luck to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"

Jinli joked, "It's possible that he would lose everything and jump into the sea."

This method can still be used for first-tier stars, as their pay is already at a premium.

Putting the premium into the crew's investment will not affect most of the star's income.

But for small stars, the pay is just that much.

Using the film remuneration to invest in the crew is to transfer part of the crew's risks to the actors. There are only four words for young actors:
A dead end.

Jinli said earnestly: "It's a good idea, but you should discuss any decision with Sister Fang in the future. As your agent, she will at least not cheat you."

Lest you make decisions on your own without knowing anything and end up hurting yourself.

Gong Jiajia nodded, not understanding the deeper meaning of her words, and said, "I think so too. We should listen to the opinions of professionals!"
