Entering his senior year, classes in the directing department are becoming more and more scarce.

Take a closer look at the class schedule in Guo Daliang's hand, there are only six big classes a week, and most of them are concentrated at two ends, there are three classes on Monday, the fullest, two classes on Friday, concentrated in the morning, and one more on Thursday, in the afternoon.

You see, when the leaders arrange the class schedule, they actually fully consider the demands of the students.

What's more, in the senior year, as long as you ask for leave, there is basically no allow.

But doing so is also tantamount to telling every graduating student: you are leaving, hurry up and find a way out for yourself!

Peng Xiangming honestly stayed at school all morning, and had lunch with Zhao Jianyuan and Guo Daliang in the school cafeteria at noon, and then returned to the studio.

In the afternoon of the same day, in his studio, Peng Xiangming met the deputy director of Dingdong's short video content division who came to visit, named Kang Quanming.

I feel like I'm in my early thirties, polite, but full of energy.

Everyone shook hands and greeted each other, sat down and said a few polite words, Kang Quanming went straight in, hoping to cooperate.

With the popularity of the seven-minute story version of the MV of "Dream Chaser", Peng Xiangming, as a director and actor, suddenly entered the attention of many people and companies.

is not only the short video of Dingdong that was eager to meet Peng Xiangming before, but also several video websites in China, as well as many film and television companies and entertainment companies, all hope to talk about cooperation with Peng Xiangming.

He is now popular, and it is normal for him to become the darling of everyone.

But it is definitely impossible for Peng Xiangming to see everyone.

He went out to run this lap to pick up the commercial performance, and the reason why he left Kong Quan at home and only brought Xiao Fang was because there were too many people he needed to see recently, so he had to be in front of him and filter the basic information first.

In fact, Kong Quan has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground.

Of course, people take the initiative to come to the door to ask for cooperation, it seems that you have the initiative, but in fact, everyone who dares to come to the door is a great bodhisattva with capital, even if the cooperation fails, try not to offend any of them.

Kong Quan is used as a barrier, a filter, or it can be understood as a cushion cushion, and his work is really not so easy to do.

And after his preliminary screening, Peng Xiangming felt that this short video company was the most worth seeing.

Because Peng Xiangming didn't plan to go according to the plans of those large and small companies at all.

Make a wave of quick money from the IP of "Dream Chaser"? Take advantage of this blushing face to create a big IP movie?

All without talking.

He has his own plans.

Among so many companies seeking cooperation, this Dingdong short video is not only the most positive company, but Peng Xiangming can faintly feel that they will most likely be in line with their next development ideas - because they hope to cooperate in short videos.

It's not the cooperation method proposed by those online video platforms for 30-minute short films or 60-minute short films, which is short videos.

So, although the other party did not disclose any actual cooperation plan with Kong Quan, so that Kong Quan actually couldn't screen anything, Peng Xiangming still agreed to continue to contact the other party, and even as soon as he returned to Yanjing, he took the initiative to say that he could meet with the other party and talk about it in person.

At this time, the other party went straight in and said that he wanted to cooperate, and Peng Xiangming asked: "How do you plan to cooperate?"

The deputy director named Kang Quanming immediately said: "You make a short film for us, it can be a story version of your new song MV, or a completely new story, ten minutes is enough, our requirements are that we must take the direction of patriotism, inspiration, praise love, praise friendship and other positive energy." ”

"We don't interfere with the way we shoot, we don't invest money, we don't want copyright, we just want the exclusive right to broadcast this short film on the whole network. ”

"Oh......"

Although the price hasn't been said yet, Peng Xiangming can't help but be excited.

Because short videos are indeed his next step.

Don't care how he is held outside, he knows very well in his own heart that even if someone throws tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars at him, he will not dare to take it at all.

Why did you choose to take the path of music in the first place?

Isn't it because compared to movies, music and making songs are indeed relatively simple and easy to operate?

No matter how complicated the song is, three or five people can complete it, no matter how extravagant it is, in terms of personnel and work direction, it is not very complicated.

But what about movies?

From investment, to project approval, to group building, to casting, to shooting, to editing, to post-production, to distribution, to publicity - it not only requires greater capital involvement, but also requires more upstream and downstream complex industrial chains and channels.

A crew needs to be composed of up to one or two hundred people, and the director needs to have the ability to coordinate and control all aspects including but not limited to actors, photography, lighting, costumes, makeup, sets, props, group performances, etc., in order to get the picture he wants.

Frankly speaking, when filming "Dream Chaser", if it weren't for Xu Jingwei and Wu Yun's sudden move, they would almost directly bring in their behind-the-scenes team, as well as Liu Keyong's old fritters in the middle and coordination, let alone five days, Peng Xiangming would not be sure to shoot it in ten days, let alone expand the scale halfway.

Now, is it because it's red, it's immediately swollen?

Don't make a fuss, a 90-minute movie is not something that you can easily shoot with a template in your head, let alone mess around when you have money.

Whether it is from the purpose of maintaining his personal image or from the logic of de facto success, he requires his first big movie to be successful!

Don't fail!

Because that's too shameful for the traverser!

Therefore, he felt that he still needed to study hard, practice, and intern for a while.

Therefore, the praise of several directors and producers did not dare to go to their hearts at all, but some small questions raised by others, and some techniques that they took the initiative to ask for, had to be taken to heart, and they repeatedly tasted it.

As for Sun Xiaoyan's courteous overtures, she didn't dare to accept it at all, she was vague, and she pushed it away first.

His next plan for himself is that in addition to "The Legend of Ping Niang" and the songs that must be made for Daqi Records, he will release another song, and make a short video for this song, and he will have a mixed doubles again, which can not only take the opportunity to practice filming again, but also make it easier to continue the previous success!

This is the safest way to go.

............

Just as Peng Xiangming's heart flashed through various thoughts, the other party continued to say, "At the same time, we want to get fifty short videos of you...... Don't be surprised, more than 15 seconds is fine, you have used our software, more than 15 seconds, you can count one!"

Within a year, more than 50 short videos, you can take selfies, tell stories, shoot a small series, shoot others, shoot landscapes, and even film you practicing songs, writing songs, anything! Of course, the more attractive to your fans, the better!"

"Our software currently has a domestic installed base of 370 million, and within a year, more than 50 videos, as long as you can pull more than 100 million fans, you will be considered to have completed the incentive conditions. ”

Peng Xiangming was puzzled and asked, "Incentive conditions?"

Kang Quanming nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's called incentive conditions." Complete these articles, meet the incentive conditions, and add the exclusive network of your short video, our contract will be officially completed! ”

Peng Xiangming smiled, and in a flash of thought, he asked, "So what?

Kang Quanming smiled when he heard this, and said, "Why don't I have to see you in person before I can talk!" He smiled mysteriously and raised a finger, "One hundred million!"

He repeated, "We're out 100 million!"

Peng Xiangming was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he turned his head, and he saw that Kong Quan was also stunned.

Not to mention Peng Xiangming's buns, in fact, he has made a lot of money in recent months, but a large part of it has not been settled, but even so, the offer of 100 million yuan made him a little dizzy.

At this time, Kang Quanming seemed to be very satisfied with Peng Xiangming and Kong Quan's reaction after he quoted this price, and when they came back to their senses, they continued: "This is a package of cooperation agreements, the contract is signed, you open an account, and publish three short videos, we will pay the first one, 20 million!"

"After the ten-minute short film is filmed, within three days after uploading, we will pay the second one, 30 million!"

"More than 50 short videos are released, and there are more than 100 million fans on the site within a year, both of which have been completed, and the ten-minute short film has also been uploaded, the payment terms of the final payment will be automatically activated, and when the time comes, we will pay the last final payment, 50 million!"

............

With a feeling of dizziness, he sent Kang Quanming away, Peng Xiangming went back and sat down, motionless for a long time - not only a little dizzy from being smashed by this 100 million, but the key is that he felt that he was not worth so much money.

But since people think that you are worth it, and real money comes to hit you, it means that there must be some value in you that you have not seen yourself, but the other party has already seen.

Of course, you can't ask the other person, and they won't tell you where the core mystery is.

I don't know how long it took him before he was woken up by Kong Quan's cough, turned his head to look over, and saw Kong Quan say timidly: "Jiao'er, if this contract is signed, it will be in film and television, and it is not within the scope of our brokerage contract, so I won't follow the share!"

Peng Xiangming came back to his senses and looked up at him.

He laughed twice and didn't speak.

Peng Xiangming suddenly laughed - but this is not the direction of the question he is thinking about now, so he will not answer for the time being, think about it, and ask: "Isn't your company recruiting troops recently, and how are the results?"

Hearing this question, Kong Quan's waist pole suddenly straightened up.

"It's progressing very fast, I plan to expand the company to about ten people first, of course, mainly to serve you, but also to take care of Qi Yuan and Chen Xuan's business, the two signed actors under my hand can also follow a little bit recently, right? ”

"Hmm. Peng Xiangming nodded, but he didn't hear much in his heart.

He's still figuring it out.

At this time, Kong Quan suddenly said again: "Jiao'er, in the past few months, I have followed you, and I have been prosperous, I have thought about this matter, and the liquidated damages on the contract between the two of us are not a problem for you for a long time......! It's not a question of how much money you have, I'm just ...... I've been thinking about ...... lately"

"My so-called career has been firmly tied to you! You are the big tree, and I am a vine on the tree! Without you, I would have given me another five years on my own, and I would not be able to get into this situation today!"

Peng Xiangming finally withdrew some attention and looked at him, "What do you want to say?"

Kong Quan smiled, "I want to say...... I give my own agency, including the one in my hand, all the artists, including all the brokerage contracts including you, valued at 1 million, I want to sell you 60% of the equity, you see, you buy it?"

Peng Xiangming was stunned for a moment, and his mind turned sharply, "That's ...... Myself, with my own brokerage contract?"

"Yes!

Peng Xiangming's heart suddenly moved - hundreds of thousands, millions, and even when the record sales were settled before the end of the year, millions or tens of millions might be distributed to Kong Quan, to be honest, he was also distressed.

To put it bluntly, human nature is like this, who wants to share their money with others if they have to?

Even......

If it weren't for the fact that Kong Quan is now busy helping himself with various contacts and negotiations, including many brands that want to be their image spokespersons, as well as many film and television companies, record companies, etc., they really need him to help him take the lead and deal with some trivial matters.

If it weren't for the negotiation of song licensing, including the studio, which was connected with many companies, he would be doing his best despite not making a penny.

Peng Xiangming really thought about it a long time ago, whether to simply tear up the contract, pay directly according to the liquidated damages, and dismiss him - this is not a black belly, nor is it ruthless, let alone crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, purely from a realistic point of view, Peng Xiangming himself got up too fast, and the role that Kong Quan can play is not absolutely irreplaceable, so it is a natural choice.

Of course, after all, he has been serving himself for a few months, and he has done his best, besides, there is friendship, so before finally deciding to kick him out, Peng Xiangming still tried to give him a little more money.

At least give him everything that should be given within the scope of business, and give him all the same, without concealing it.

But he didn't expect that at this juncture, before he could propose anything, he took the initiative to take a step back.

With his mind racing, Peng Xiangming suddenly said: "I'll give you one million, and I want seventy percent!"

Kong Quan's eyes immediately lit up, and he slapped his thigh, "700,000 is enough, I'll sell you seventy percent!"

Peng Xiangming nodded, "Okay!" After thinking about it, he said again: "Then go back, mine, Qi Yuan's, Chen Xuan's, including Wu Bing's, and the brokerage contracts of our people will all be merged!"

Kong Quan hurriedly agreed, looking relieved, "I'm relieved, hehe!"

Peng Xiangming also smiled, but suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, and he grabbed it suddenly, so he stood up, "That's ......right! Downloads and installs!"

He suddenly turned his head and said to Kong Quan: "Old Kong, immediately find a way for me to check the information, I want to know the number of downloads and installations of music every day in the last month, including the last six months!"
