Chapter 23: Taking Stock (II) (1/4)
Well, Shen Mengxi is ready to engage in IP!
There is no right or wrong IP itself, it depends on who the trader is.
Seriously making an original script is hard, risky, and responsible, of course, it is not easy to adapt it into a script, but who cares if you don't tolerate it, the important thing is that the money falls into the pocket first!
So, for a while, everyone talked about IP!
They think that IP is copyright...
It has even spawned some companies that specialize in reselling IP...
Shen Mengxi is firm: story and production are the first vitality of film and television dramas!
Otherwise, even if you give you Marvel, you won't be able to make a cinematic universe...
As for the film and game linkage, it was NetEase who took the initiative to propose - in view of the huge success of "Painted Skin", they wanted to establish a new joint venture with Mengxi Company, called Mengxi Mutual Entertainment, to specialize in some film and game linkage development.
"Flower Thousand Bone" and "Strange Man Yizhimei" are the first wave of cross-border cooperation selected...
The reason is also simple, the Xianxia drama "Flower Thousand Bone", "Strange Man Yizhimei", the unit drama martial arts, itself is suitable for development into a game.
......
"The income of the artist agency exceeds 280 million..."
"Why is it so high?"
"It's all red..."
Also, its artists, even the most unknown Lei Jiayin and Wang Lei, also have a bunch of TV series invitations, and the company itself has cooperated with many brands, and has also signed several endorsements for them...
Anyway, I basically bought a house...
Shen Mengxi looked at the income share of several artists, the highest was Zhang Hanyun, who earned more than 30 million yuan a year - the income after deducting the company's four accounts...
Yang Xiaomi's annual income is close behind, with more than 20 million...
In fact, Zhang Hanyun's salary is lower than that of Yang Xiaomi, how can she be a fan of film and television songs, she loves commercial performances, and fans call her: a little diva of commercial acting!
Why only more than 30 million?
Make albums, record songs, shoot MVs, publicize, and sell, without spending money?
She signed a five-to-fifty contract with the company's music department...
Of course, if you really want to count its artists, Liu Yifei and Hu Ge are the highest...
Liu Yifei signed a three-year contract and paid 8% of the revenue share to the company every year;
Hugo has a five-year contract and pays 10% of his annual income to the company.
But strictly speaking, they are only partners, not superiors and subordinates.
“... It's not a good thing that the proportion of artist agents is too high, we are a film and television production company, and we can't rely too much on star artists, you see Huayi, Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun left, and the market value plummeted!"
"We are different from Huayi, Huayi's financial report this year is a mess, and the performance of TV dramas has fallen by 44%, which is completely supported by Feng Xiaogang's two movies, and they do not have a perfect production system! Compared with mature foreign entertainment companies, Huayi Brothers does not have publicity resources, nor does it have a channel position... We have Weibo, cinemas, Maoyan movies, performance theaters, and the industrial chain is basically opened!"
Shen Mengxi pondered for a moment, it was really like this!
It turns out that unconsciously, I'm already so awesome?
What a visionary!
"You said studio last year?"
"I'll talk about it in a few years... This year's income is good, and the year-end bonus will be several times more, so that everyone can have a good year!"
......
Of course, the studio system needs to be implemented, but not now.
Wait until their contract is about to expire, and then say...
With so many actors, at least half of them are qualified to open personal studios, even if these people leave, they will definitely take away a lot of staff!
However, last year, I promised Yang Xiaomi to open a personal studio for her, and I still have to fulfill my promise!
This is not in a hurry, after all, Yang Xiaomi is still filming "Shark Beach" in Hainan!
2010 was a year for Mengxi Company to emerge and establish its status as one of the three largest private media companies in the mainland.
TV series are frequently released, movies, and various types of films have been tried.
The market feedback is also very good, and the slogan of 'Mengxi products, must be high-quality' has even been circulated on the rivers and lakes.
Hehe, wait for "Little Times" to come out, scare you to death!
Back to Yang Xiaomi, 2010 was also a year of take-off for her career.
In the TV series, last year's "Fairy Sword III" and this year's "Yanxi Raiders" directly established her name as the queen of ratings;
On the movie, "33 Days of Broken Love" exploded 320 million...
Even the awards have been gained, and she was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards.
Among the top of the post-85s!
The team is currently helping her get in touch with Jimmy Choo and Etro, and it is no surprise that she should be able to win the title of brand ambassador in China or Asia Pacific next year.
The first peak of life has been reached.
The next goal: to be among the real frontline!
This year, she has four films: "Shark Beach", "Giant Crocodile Storm", "My Little Black Dress" and "The Little Fox and the Demon Hunter"...
Strive!
Then, the mobile phone rang, and it was Liu Shishi who dialed: "What are you doing?"
“... Filming, what's wrong?"
"Just now, Yifei launched a backhand navel challenge on Weibo, which is quite interesting..."
"Backhand belly button?"
“... I asked her, and she said that it was Mengxi who launched the campaign to promote "Twenty Years Old Again", and more than two million people have participated so far!"
"More than two million?
Yang Xiaomi hung up the phone and clicked on Weibo, and sure enough, there was a message from Liu Yifei @her.
"The box office of "Twenty Years Old Again" has exceeded 200 million, and I promise you benefits: touch the navel with your backhand..."
In a short video, Liu Yifei was wearing gym clothes that exposed his navel, and then touched his navel with his backhand, showing off his belly!
A bunch of netizen comments:
'Wow, I'll try it too!'
'Sister Tianxian is in such a good shape, bee waist!'
'Envy Shen Mengxi...'
Such a fun thing, Yang Xiaomi must participate!
So, she tried it too... And then, very casually, it worked...
That's it?
Is that a challenge?
hurriedly took a photo and uploaded it to Weibo, and a bunch of fans came over to lick the screen.
After reading a few comments, she smiled and was about to reply, and then Shen Mengxi appeared and posted: "Are you done with the movie?"
“... No, I don't..."
"No, you are so idle, do you feel that the workload is not enough?
"No, the director is talking to the special effects about things, so I can take a break..."
"Hmph, I think you're just too idle!"
Then Liu Yifei joined: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is writing a speech, and he can't write it... I'm angry with myself..."
"What speech?"
"Tomorrow there is a symposium on the film "Twenty Again", and he has to speak. ”
"Don't you have to speak?"
"He finished my manuscript, and he couldn't write his own manuscript... Hey..."
Soon, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Yin Zheng, and Wang Kai also joined in, very 'consciously' off topic, and talked about "Twenty Years Old Again", just under Yang Xiaomi's Weibo...
"'Twenty Again' has a good chance of breaking the box office record for Korean comedy films;"
"This time it was successful, and the subsequent "Big Man", "Sunshine Sisters", and "Blind Certificate" will be much easier..."
Tsk, it's propaganda again!
And it's a silent moisturizer, at least for the people who eat melons, they are just eating melons...
