Chapter 181: Toothache
At this time, in a small conference room in the Haotian Film and Television Office Building, Chen Hao, Ning Hao, Hao Yi, Xing Aina, Wu Wenhui and Li Wanli sat together.
Chen Hao looked at the five people in front of him, plus himself, who is the company's current core management.
"Other people should not need to be introduced, this is Li Wanli, she will be in charge of the company's brokerage affairs in the future, everyone is welcome. Chen Hao stretched out his hand and introduced.
This Li Wanli has just joined the company, she used to be an agent in CAA in the United States, this time she returned to China for family reasons, and then the interview was successful and she was recruited into Haotian Film and Television.
Haotian Film and Television has now signed a contract with Xiaohu and Da Mei Tang, although Xiao Hu is only a freshman in high school, and Da Mei Tang is only a freshman, but it is not a matter if he has not been looking for an agent.
Although brokerage affairs are not the focus of Chen Hao's future plans, entertainment companies will inevitably involve brokerage affairs, and now Li Wanli, who has returned from CAA in the United States, is in charge, which can save Chen Hao a lot of worry.
Speaking of finding an agent, it is a headache, and now there is no completely professional agent in the mainland, and it can be seen from here that the mainland entertainment industry is really in ruins.
The real establishment of the broker system in the mainland began in 2000 when Wang Jinghua and Huayi cooperated to establish Huayi Brokerage Company.
Prior to this, in 1998, Zhao Yanzi was the first mainland artist in the mainland to have a perfect brokerage system and company, because Zhao Yanzi signed a contract with Qiong Yao's Baodao brokerage company.
Zhao Yanzi once talked about what happened shortly after she became popular in a telephone interview.
She recalled that after she just became popular, there was no complete broker system in China, and Qiong Yao Company had helped her arrange for a broker in Baodao to negotiate a contract, but she was almost blown out by others, "Who are you! We want to talk to Zhao Yanzi!"
This kind of story, looking at it today, is a complete joke.
But in fact, the entertainment industry experienced by Zhao Yanzi happens to be from wild to prosperous, from single to diverse, from full of unknown and disorder, to full of dark box operations and unspoken rules.
Before her, there were few successful models to follow.
According to Zhao Yanzi, every step of her own is to cross the river by feeling the stones.
She also said that she always thought that jeans and a white shirt would walk the red carpet, but after being criticized by the media, she finally learned to go to a luxury brand store and carefully prepare an evening dress that she would not normally wear, which is so essential.
From this, it can also be seen that in the years around the beginning of the century, there was no reliable professional agent in the mainland.
The reason why Wang Jinghua can be called the first broker in the mainland is that in addition to the fact that she is the agent of many big names and new stars, it also has a lot to do with her real establishment of the broker system in the mainland.
Li Wanli stood up with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm Li Wanli, please give me more advice in the future!"
The crowd laughed and applauded.
Chen Hao said with a smile, "The company has not been established for a long time, and all aspects are still being explored, but everyone has worked hard and made some achievements, so let's talk about last year's summary and this year's plan, try to be short." ”
Everyone smiled and looked at each other when they heard this, and then Xing Aina said, "Why don't I come first." Last year, the company invested in two TV series, and "Li Wei as an Official 2" is still uncertain for the time being.
However, "Golden Bough Desire" will officially premiere on CCAV8 on February 2, the second day of the Lunar New Year. The first round of TV rights also sold 12 million, and the company not only recovered its costs but also earned 2 million.
As for this year's plan, at present, Remington wants to join us to invest in a war drama with a military history theme, and the investment is very large, enough 25.6 million, and he hopes that we can invest 5.6 million.
Others, not for the time being. ”
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, at present, the company only has one joint venture "The Sky of History", I am afraid that it is not only difficult to find the project, but also that the money is not enough.
Moreover, everyone is so young, and the management company is also very unfamiliar, but I am afraid that it is not so bold.
After Xing Aina finished speaking, Ning Hao said, "The company has no film plans for the time being this year. ”
Chen Hao was stunned when he heard this, "Haven't you written your script yet?"
"No!" Ning Hao shook his head and said, "I'm busy filming "Chinese-Style Divorce" now, and I don't have time to get the script for the time being. ”
When Chen Hao heard this, he wanted to ask if he wanted to take out the "Big Diamond" you wrote and remake it, but when he thought of Ning Hao's current attitude towards commercial films, he didn't say it.
Domestic directors are still mostly reluctant to commercial films, only after the national teacher's "Hero" slashed 248 million at the box office and stunned everyone.
Some people found out that commercial films were also so profitable, and then a lot of hot money entered the film industry, urging the development of commercial films in the mainland.
Ning Hao also found that after filming "Green Meadow" again, it is difficult for literary films to resonate with the audience, and there is no audience to communicate with him after the movie is over.
In addition, after the gradual development of the film market, commercial films have become the mainstream, whether it is for his own directorial career or for fame and fortune, Ning Hao made "Crazy Stone"!
Before, Chen Hao was hesitant to write a script for Ning Hao to shoot, but he thought it was better to go with the flow, but now he is still a little entangled.
However, thinking that the domestic film market has not yet developed, and there is no money to be made from making movies, the idea of wanting Ning Hao to make commercial films as soon as possible has faded.
"I said that after the investment and suggestions of Mr. Chen, we have revised the original layout, and the second version Chinese of the website will be officially put into use on February 1.
At the same time, since the establishment of the website for half a year, the registered users of Qidian Chinese Network have ushered in a peak period, and the development potential of online literature is beyond imagination.
But now that the site has empty users and can't be monetized, I designed three solutions: advertising, rights agency, and a fee-based model.
Judging from the results, I am not optimistic about the first two, from the perspective of online literature, whether it is the market environment or traffic, it is difficult to support the stable operation of a website.
But the third way is very difficult, because everyone is free, and if we charge for it, the consequences are unpredictable!" Wu Wenshen shook his head.
Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, now there is a customary logic on the Internet in the mainland, that is, free!
Industry leaders such as Tianya and Banyan are free, and if you start charging, I'm afraid that users will run out soon.
However, advertising and copyright agents alone cannot obtain stable income, so that the website can develop smoothly, this is the biggest contradiction, and you can't always count on Chen Hao's blood transfusion.
"Do you have a charging plan?" asked Chen Hao.
"I've designed it, and if I do want to do it, then I can do it this year. Wu Wenshen replied when he heard this.
"Okay, I can give you another 5 million promotion fees, and after the burning, I will implement the VIP fee. Chen Hao said, "As for the result, don't worry, it's really not good, I'll invest money again." ”
Wu Wenhui was greatly relieved when he heard this, what he was most afraid of was that after the VIP was implemented, there would be no one on the website, and Chen Hao would no longer invest in it at that time, so the starting point would be yellow!
At this time, Chen Hao was a little sore in the egg, and now the company in his hand seems to be unreliable, and he has not entered the stable development period of the company.
The TV series does not have its own main investment, and the movie has no plan, and the starting point cannot be realized, scratching your head!
