This star’s style is wrong

A year and a half ago, during "Stars of Tomorrow."

Wang Huajun was originally teammates with Fang Xing and worked together several times.

However, Wang Huajun studied classical dance, and Fang Xing could not help him in this regard.

Therefore, in the end, Wang Huajun chose to join the Glacier Limited Group and debut as a group.

From a rational perspective, there is nothing wrong with his choice.

Joining a limited group will theoretically be helpful to his development.

After all, the limited group can give him many opportunities to perform.

At the beginning, he had a deep conversation with Fang Xing, and Fang Xing also supported his debut as a group.

later.

Before the camp battle in the finals, Wang Huajun accidentally saw Chaoyin Culture doing something wrong, so he sent Fang Xing a WeChat message.

The WeChat content at that time was:

[Captain, yesterday I accidentally saw Chen Zhiyou from your team meeting Liu Rongxuan at the coffee shop below the Chaoyin Culture office building. I don't know what they were talking about. After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to remind you. 】

At that time, Chen Zhiyou was a member of the Fire Team. In other words, in the camp finals, he was a member of Fang Xing's team and had to work together on the stage.

Later, the matter was found out.

It turned out that Chen Zhiyou's contract with his original agency was about to expire.

Liu Rongxuan, the artist director of Chaoyin Culture, bribed Chen Zhiyou with a well-paid contract and asked him to cause trouble on the stage and destroy the Fire Team's final stage.

Because of this WeChat message from Wang Huajun, Fang Xing knew about this in advance.

In the end, Chen Zhiyou was taken away by his agency. Fang Xing did not inquire about what happened after that.

Originally, Fang Xing thought that this incident would just go away.

But when I met Wang Huajun today, I realized that he was suppressed by Chaoyin Culture and arranged for him to take a job where he danced seven or eight hours a day for only a few hundred yuan.

Moreover, Wang Huajun cannot refuse these jobs.

Because the limited group contract of Chaoyin Culture is very harsh, the artist has no right to refuse, otherwise Chaoyin Culture can sue him at any time and ask him to pay liquidated damages.

Therefore, even if Wang Huajun does not want to take these jobs, he can only grit his teeth and jump at it.

"Doesn't your agency care?" Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked one more question.

With the jobs that Wang Huajun is taking now, the daily remuneration is only a few hundred yuan, and his agency cannot make any money at all.

The brokerage company can't make any money, so it's impossible to just watch.

Wang Huajun smiled helplessly and replied: "My agency is just a small company. It only has some resources in dance, but it can't compare with Chaoyin culture."

Fang Xing understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Large companies like Chaoyin Culture have countless ways to make small companies in the entertainment industry obey. Whether it is direct pressure or exchanging resources, they can achieve their goals.

What happened to Wang Huajun now, in the final analysis, had something to do with Fang Xing.

However, his limited group contract with Chaoyin Culture has not ended yet, so he cannot help even if he wants to.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "How long will your limited group contract last?"

"There are still more than four months." Wang Huajun saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes. When he looked at Fang Xing, he was glad that his relationship with Fang Xing was going well.

actually.

He has been excluded from Chaoyin Culture for more than a year.

For such a long time, the jobs I took were all tiring and unprofitable.

Over the past year or so, he has occasionally wondered, what would have happened if he had not sent that WeChat message to Fang Xing?

He is just an ordinary person who longs for a better life when life is difficult.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and so does he.

If he hadn't sent that WeChat message, it's hard to say whether the final camp would win or lose, but at least he wouldn't have suffered so much suppression from Chaoyin culture.

It's impossible to become famous, but at least it doesn't have to be so hard.

More than four months is neither long nor short.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Come to me after the contract ends."

When Wang Huajun finally heard these words, the stone hanging in his heart fell.

Now, he has no doubt about Fang Xing's ability.

It can be said that any teammate who has a good relationship with Fang Xing is now considered popular.

Like Koda Koda, for top stars, he is only moderately popular, but for 18th-tier artists, Koda Koda's popularity has become their lifelong pursuit.

That's right, after Guo Keda's song "Two Butterflies" became popular, he has already earned eight figures just by relying on the commercial performances of this song, and he has a lot of stamina.

Lu Ming, Shao Yu, and even the KDA girl group formed by Shen Xiyin were in a similar situation.

To say I'm not envious would be a lie.

Wang Huajun is very envious, but if you give him these songs, it will be difficult for him to become popular because he only studies dance and is really not good at singing.

Of course, Wang Huajun now has no doubts about Fang Xing's ability. As long as Fang Xing is willing to help him, there are countless ways.

Wang Huajun clenched his fist, nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, thank you... Captain."

Fang Xing smiled at him, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "Next time we get together, I will..."

He said and pointed to the comic exhibition.

Of course Wang Huajun knew what it meant. Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er went out to play, so of course they couldn't chat for too long.

"Okay, let's get together next time." Wang Huajun nodded quickly and agreed.

"Then I'll leave first."

Fang Xing said goodbye to Lu Xiang'er and paid the bill at the front desk before leaving.

…

During the whole chat, Lu Xiang'er actually didn't understand much.

Because Lu Xiang'er didn't know about what happened during the "Star of Tomorrow" period.

Regarding "Tomorrow's Star", all Lu Xiang'er knew came from the show's main film.

Therefore, she had no idea about Chaoyin Culture’s limited group contract or Wang Huajun’s WeChat message leaking Chaoyin Culture’s conspiracy.

And these things are not suitable to be discussed on the table.

Therefore, when Fang Xing and Wang Huajun chatted, they just touched on the topic and mentioned it in a way that everyone could hear, without discussing the details.

So Lu Xiang'er asked confusedly and curiously: "He was also your teammate before, but it seems that his career was not very satisfactory."

"Well, I was suppressed. It's normal. If you offend big companies in the entertainment industry, this is basically the result." Fang Xing sighed.

Lu Xiang'er frowned and said strangely: "That's not right, you seem to have offended big companies a lot."

Fang Xing stretched out his hand to pinch her and said with a smile: "So, now you know how powerful your boyfriend is, right?"

Lu Xiang'er rolled her eyes and complained: "Okay, okay, you are the best."

Fang Xing put his arms around her waist and began to kiss her: "Come and kiss her, and I will immediately think of a way to help you save the company."

Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips to suppress a smile, stood on tiptoes, and touched her face twice through the mask.

After visiting the comic exhibition, I was a little tired.

The two of them didn't want to eat out, so they simply went home and ordered takeout.

On the way home by taxi.

Lu Xiang'er opened her phone, took a look at it, and asked: "The bank has allocated more than 9 million yuan, and with the pocket money I saved, it's almost 10 million. What project do you want to invest in?"

Fang Xing thought about it seriously and said, "Why don't you vote for a TV series?"

Lu Xiang'er frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "But the investment in TV dramas nowadays is very high. What can I do with ten million?"

Fang Xing was also thinking about this problem: "Then we can only invest in a low-cost online drama."

However, even if it is a low-cost online drama, 10 million is not enough.

Today's web dramas, even decent ones, start at 30 million yuan.

For online dramas with less than 30 million, the results are not good.

Of course, there are also some short dramas that have ridiculously low investment but are quite popular.

But it's usually a comedy skit.

In this kind of funny short drama, the actors are actually the key.

Therefore, the production depends on fate. If you can't find a comedian who is popular with the audience, the production may not be a hit.

In fact, Lu Xiang'er also thought about using this ten million investment project to make more money, so she also checked some information on online dramas.

She sighed: "Even if it's an online drama, 10 million won't be enough."

Fang Xing reached out and poked her forehead: "I've already voted for the rest. Let's jointly invest in an online drama."

Lu Xiang'er didn't think twice and nodded directly in agreement: "Okay, I will listen to you."

"You agreed so quickly. Aren't you afraid of losing money? You can't make money every time you invest." Fang Xing stared into her eyes with interest.

Lu Xiang'er spread her hands and said, "What can we do? If we make money, we might be able to save my dad's company. If we don't give it a try, there will be no chance at all."

"That seems to be the case. You are quite calm." Fang Xing felt that Lu Xiang'er's mentality was much more mature now than before.

Lu Xiang'er put her arm around Fang Xing's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and said leisurely, "People always have to grow up."

While eating.

The two continued to chat about investing in TV series.

"What kind of drama are we going to cast?" Lu Xiang'er asked.

"Nowadays, online dramas are more popular, and suspense ones may be better." Fang Xing answered thoughtfully.

"Isn't comedy very popular recently?" Lu Xiang'er has watched several low-cost comedies during this period, and they were all quite popular.

This comedy trend was actually started by "Wulin Gaiden".

However, none of the comedies produced by these latter film and television companies can surpass "Wulin Gaiden".

Not to mention surpassing "Wulin Gaiden", "Wulin Gaiden" has been broadcast for more than half a year, and it is still ranked first on the Penguin Video comedy TV series list.

The newly aired comedy, that is, the days when there are a lot of advertisements, are expected to surpass "Wulin Gaiden" and sneak into the first position on the comedy list.

In less than a week, "Wulin Gaiden" will return to the top of the list again.

Lu Xiang'er initially felt that since "Wulin Gaiden" was so popular, another comedy would probably become popular too.

However, Fang Xing has already filmed "Wulin Gaiden" and does not plan to make another film of the same type in the short term.

If you're going to pitch a new drama, make it something different.

In fact, Fang Xing's favorite genre when watching movies and TV series is suspense and brain-burning.

Since you want to shoot a low-cost online drama, suspense is a good choice.

"I want to try a suspense genre, would you like to give it a try?" Fang Xing looked at her and asked seriously.

After all, it was an investment of 10 million, and this was Lu Xiang'er's entire net worth. She even sold all the properties in her name.

If the investment is lost, her situation will be even more embarrassing, so it is better to ask her clearly what she thinks.

Lu Xiang'er didn't think much, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Fang Xing reminded: "Don't you need to ask your parents for their opinions?"

Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips and muttered: "It doesn't matter, I can make the decision on this matter."

Fang Xing had already guessed what was going on and said seriously: "You sold the house secretly, right? This is not good. After you go back, have a serious talk with your parents about investing in TV series. Otherwise, they will It’s time to suspect that I’m tricking you.”

"No." Lu Xiang'er shook his head, looking unconcerned.

"You must let your parents know." Fang Xing's tone became serious.

Lu Xiang'er nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll tell them when I get back."

…

After eating.

Fang Xing began to write a script, preparing to shoot a suspenseful, low-budget online drama.

After Lu Xiang'er returned home, she seriously sat down with her parents to talk about investing in the drama, and told them about selling the house, and said that she had grown up and knew what she was doing.

At the beginning, Father Lu and Mother Lu were a little surprised and a little angry when they heard that their daughter had sold the house in their name.

Because this house was placed in Lu Xiang'er's name to prevent this situation.

As long as Lu Xiang'er has this house in his name, even if the company goes bankrupt, his future life will be guaranteed.

However, now that the house is sold, if the reinvestment fails, the Lu family's situation will be even more difficult.

Lu Xiang'er didn't want to tell her parents at first, because she knew their parents would be worried.

However, now that she has decided to invest in an online drama, she patiently explained to her parents and said that she has grown up and can learn to be independent.

This matter has been settled first, and the house has been sold.

Even if the ten million is invested in the company, it won't be able to reverse the situation. If you invest in a web drama, there may be a turnaround.

Moreover, this investment was made by Fang Xing.

The record-breaking TV series "Wulin Gaiden" really gave Lu's father a little more confidence.

In the end, Lu's father and mother agreed with Lu Xiang'er's decision and let her give it a try.

…

After several days of preparation, Fang Xing wrote the first draft of the script.

The first draft of the script was rough, but as a script in the early stages of preparation, it was enough.

Since he has connections from "Wulin Gaiden", it is very easy for Fang Xing to assemble a crew now.

Basically, once the news is released, countless crew members will want to join.

Three days later, Fang Xing announced the news of this small-cost online drama in the name of Ark Culture.

For a time, many film and television companies contacted, hoping to invest.

Fang Xing's investment plan this time is 30 million, and he doesn't need that much investment from film and television companies.

In addition, the three major video platforms, including Penguin Video and Wandou Video, also want to invest.

Since this is a low-cost online drama, it will definitely be broadcast on a video platform.

If you accept investment from a video platform, there is a lot to discuss in the broadcast contract.

For example, you can get more promotion resources and more promotion activities.

Due to the release of "Wulin Gaiden" last time, Penguin Video crushed the other two major video platforms for a whole year.

Therefore, when Fang Xing announced a new project this time, Li Xueying, the vice president of Penguin Video, personally led a team to the company to discuss cooperation and offered very generous conditions.

Penguin Video has only one purpose. As long as it has exclusive broadcast rights, everything else can be discussed.

In the end, Fang Xing took an investment of 10 million from Penguin Video, signed the exclusive broadcast rights to Penguin Video, and received 70% of the interstitial advertising and CPM split.

Moreover, all heavyweight promotion resources are written in the contract.

In addition, there are advertisement placements from advertisers. The project has not yet started shooting, and Memory has earned tens of millions in advertising fees.

Of course, Fang Xing is still very restrained when it comes to product placement.

There will be absolutely no rigid placement. Only products that will appear in the show will be advertised.
