Chapter 232: Dog Men and Women
A little after half past eight in the morning, Peng Xiangming had already arrived at the company.
There wasn't a lot of people on the entire floor.
Only the assistant Fang Chengjun had already arrived, and when he saw Peng Xiangming coming, he made a cup of coffee for him.
There is no way, following a workaholic boss, although he enjoys high wages and benefits, but the hard work is also certain - as long as Peng Xiangming is here in Yanjing, he is the first to arrive at the company every day.
After taking two sips of coffee, Peng Xiangming began to approve the documents.
Since An Minzhi began to show a little nostalgia and went through the resignation procedures, all these chores fell on him.
Although An Minzhi has already set up the framework of the film and television company, at least it can be done, and there is no need for the boss to sign it in person to buy a batch of printing paper in the company, but the general affairs are never these simple things. And then again, these seemingly simple things are never simple.
My own company, I am sure I still have to worry about it.
At present, Peng Xiangming's company, the charity fund is independent, and it does not match the entertainment industry at all, and the 60 million invested in Liu Mi is also completely stripped.
Therefore, only these three companies that are currently working on the same floor are in one system.
Among them, An Zhiyi Entertainment Agency has the largest scale and the largest number of staff.
Now just the team of its artists, from the basic standards of assistants, drivers, and bodyguards, to exclusive stylists, makeup artists, photographers, etc., each small team, as little as three or five people, as many as eight or nine people, the working relationship is hung under the agency company.
Not to mention, the company's publicity and outreach department is equipped with several small teams with a total of more than 20 people, which are responsible for building and promoting the public image of the company and its artists.
In contrast, Mariana Film and Television Company, which has a more dedicated function, needs to have much fewer basic employees, and only the publicity and distribution department is slightly larger.
Because many professional staff only need to be hired on a temporary basis, with the current size of Mariana, it is neither necessary nor actually able to support too many contracted staff.
Of course, the smallest is definitely Peng Xiangming's music studio.
Now there are only five official staff members in the studio, including Peng Xiangming.
............
Look at the document, sign, look at the document, sign.
It took Peng Xiangming about 40 minutes just to deal with these basic signing operations.
After finishing the work that he had accumulated for a few days, he took out the various work arrangements for 2018 from the drawer and thought about it.
On the side of the brokerage company, in addition to finalizing the general direction, he basically doesn't care about other things, and Kong Quan is handling them, but on the side of the music studio and film and television company, he is now grasping it.
This year, the music studio has achieved a lot of results, not only successfully launched three female singers, each of which was pushed very high, but also sold its own album, and its popularity in the industry is an instant hit.
Then, after this year's absolute big year, it stands to reason that next year should also be made a small year - making four albums and many singles a year, even if you don't feel tired as a half-handed shopkeeper, others are also tired, especially like Du Kaijie.
Moreover, several of its singers signed record contracts, either three majors in five years, or two majors in four years, which in itself is a relatively regular thing.
On average, releasing an album every two years or so can not only ensure that the singer's influence and appeal are always at a high level, but also allow the singer not to be too tired.
Of course, is one album a year okay?
Absolutely!
Even better!
But like the current situation of his music studio, if he makes three or four more albums this year, he will inevitably continue to recruit people, and he can't survive with just one Du Kaijie.
Moreover, the situation of walking on one leg on the studio's side is too serious.
Next year it will be necessary to sign one or two male singers in.
First, it must be one more popular, and one more person will help you make money, and secondly, there are so many songs of male singers in your head, many of them are either not suitable for your own positioning to sing, or you don't want to sing them, but it's really a waste to just throw them away and not use them.
Du Kaijie is one of them.
In the past year or so, he has helped a lot, and if he shows that he wants to release an album, he will make one this year, even if it is as a reward, it is necessary.
Another one to check in.
Three male singers, three female singers, will be more balanced.
Well, it's good to make an album for Du Kaijie in the first half of the year, or make a few singles, but in the second half of the year, Zhou Shunqing doesn't think about it, it's only been a year since her debut, and she has already launched two albums and several singles, and her next album will be better if it is scheduled for the first half of 2019.
Jiang Xianxian didn't consider it for the time being, and she started to do it in the second half of the year, and it was sent in the first half of 19.
At the beginning, her singer contract and agency contract were resold by Daqi Records, and the two parties re-signed a four-year second contract, that is to say, the singer's dating will end at the end of 2021, and there are still three years left before now.
I made the second album in 18 years, what should I do with more than two years left?
Of course, if she proposes to re-sign the contract, such as signing another five-year three-term contract, then she can still make an album for her in the second half of next year.
Wu Bing is even more sure that there will be a second album in 19 years.
But I still have to release another album next year - not because of diligence, nor to maintain my popularity, the key is to make too much money.
So in this way, in the first half of next year, Du Kaijie's album and sign a new singer to come in, make him a single, or a mini disc, test the water, and take the time to record his new album.
In the second half of the year, the main thing is his own album, and depending on the situation, make an album for the newly signed male singer and hold it up. Then, prepare for Jiang Xianxian's second album.
So, on the music side, I won't be too busy.
The highlight of next year should be on the film and television side.
"Infernal Affairs" fired the first shot, and then "You from the Star" will also have a high probability of exploding, at this time, of course, it is best to strike while the iron is hot.
At present, the arrangement has been determined, in the first half of next year, the company will shoot a drama and a movie, the drama is the first part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", iron-blooded, and the movie is "Yanjing Meets Seattle", which has already set the main lineup, directed by Xu Jingwei and produced by Wu Yun.
But this is not enough.
These two dramas are enough for Mariana to operate tightly in the first half of the year.
But what about the second half of the year?
Accept An Minzhi's suggestion, although "Soldier Assault" is a good drama, this type of drama and pure male drama is actually not conducive to maximizing value in the current entertainment era, and with Mariana's current scale, if you start filming this drama now, it will be extremely stressful.
The main thing is that Lao An is not on duty.
Therefore, in the second half of the year, a "Promotion of the Crown Princess" will be tentatively scheduled.
Liu Mi or Qi Yuan, the two girls actually have more or less "offensive" sides, and they should be able to control them.
Then, because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" should not pounce as expected, in the second half of the year, its second "East Evil and West Poison" can also start filming.
In terms of TV series, it's okay to do this for the time being.
And then there'...... own films.
I had planned a lot before, but when it came time to make a decision, I had actually hesitated for more than a month.
Can't make up your mind.
The second part of "Infernal Affairs" is not in a hurry.
The reputation of the first part is too good, from top to bottom, it is almost unanimous praise, so the pressure on the second part has become great, but it is better to slow down and let it dry for two or three years.
Anyway, with such a reputation as "Infernal Affairs" and such a box office, it is impossible for this IP to be cold in a few years - but in 19 years, you can consider making a spin-off drama.
"Vulgarity" is not considered.
Facts have proved that the way to shoot "Infernal Affairs" is right, so it is very likely that the road of filming "Vulgar" is wrong.
So...... What to shoot?
Martial arts, kung fu, cops, comedies, or ...... Science fiction?
"The market! The market comes first!"
Peng Xiangming reminded himself secretly.
His gaze swept over the names of the movies that were written on most of the paper, and at the end, his gaze stopped at the word "Kung Fu".
But after staring at him for a long time, he still shook his head.
I really want to shoot!
I really want to shoot!
However, where can this movie be copied and copied?
Who will play the star?
............
"Whew...... Whew......"
"Ah......h
After a hearty brace, Sun Xiaoyan completely lay there and didn't move, just gasping for breath.
Peng Xiangming also gasped for a while, and then slowly lay down.
Both of them were sweaty and sticky.
It was a long time before she let out a breath, "Oops...... Almost died. The body moved, and she pushed her ass slightly, "You go down first." ”
Peng Xiangming moved, and with a soft sound of "pop", he turned to the side.
She turned over at this time, but she was too lazy to deal with it, she only pulled a few pieces of paper and clamped it first, she was already too tired to do it, and after lying down, she let out a long breath, but she still stared at the chandelier above her head for a while, and then gradually came back to her senses, and sighed, "Hey, hey, it's really ...... When I was outside, you didn't know how much I thought about it, I was used to it, I couldn't think about it, and the thought of it made me tremble, and I swore to myself at that time, when I came back, I would have to ask you ten times in one breath......"
Peng Xiangming couldn't help laughing.
She couldn't laugh herself, and said while laughing, "Actually...... No, it's definitely not going to work today, I feel so sensitive, just these two times, the whole body is soft, and it's falling apart!"
When she said this, Peng Xiangming subconsciously thought of the fact that in the early winter of last year, the two stayed in the small house they rented for two days for the first time.
At that time, she was crazy.
Later, she made several appointments with the cannon, and she sat on it and shook it wildly, each time it took several times, but every time she met in the last half a year, although she was still so hungry and thirsty, and her body was more sensitive than before, Peng Xiangming could clearly feel that her physical fitness had declined rapidly in the past six months.
Actors, especially actors like Sun Xiaoyan, as long as they are willing to accept it, they will definitely not be able to accept the film contract, and they will definitely be busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
And needless to say, it is normal to earn such a high salary, no matter how hard it is, but hard work is indeed hard work, and it is impossible to treat hard work as if it is not there because of the amount of money earned.
An actor like her, who runs around the crew all year round, according to the needs of the plot, has to wear a mink fur in summer, roast around the fire, and wear single clothes in winter, pulling out cold water, and if you need to jump, you have to jump.
After a year, the body under the glamorous appearance is actually tired.
What's more, she hasn't really rested for many years.
When you are young, you may not feel it, but as long as you are a little older, the first thing you can't hold on to is physical fitness - many popular film and television actors often have the problem of fear of cold and heat, and there is a reason.
And by the end of the New Year, Sun Xiaoyan will be thirty years old.
After thinking about it, Peng Xiangming couldn't help but ask her: "Are you going to be so busy next year? Don't you plan to rest? If you continue to be so busy, your physical strength will not be able to support it at all." ”
Sun Xiaoyan was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then couldn't help but sigh, "Whether I'm busy next year or not, it's up to me, I hope the box office can be justified! Even if it can make me stand firm, I have to find time to rest for a while next year, I'm really tired......!"
"Well, how can I say it, I want to make two movies a year and call it a day, but someone has to keep looking for me! Otherwise, if there is no movie to make, you say......"
Speaking of this, she turned her head, looked at Peng Xiangming, and suddenly leaned over, hugged her arms, and propped up her upper body, "Hey, you really don't go......?
Peng Xiangming shook his head, "Of course I won't go......! Even you yourself say that in fact, you are just copying "Infernal Affairs" with straight eyebrows, if I go to the scene, will it be equivalent to stamping the investor, and I will approve it? Of course I can't approve of it! It's good if I don't sue you!"
Sun Xiaoyan sighed when she heard this, and lay back helplessly.
She returned to Yanjing this time because she had just participated in the recording of two variety shows to promote her upcoming movie, and she rushed back to participate in the listing celebration of Dongsheng Media tomorrow night, and second, the movie she participated in starring in will be released on the 24th, and the premiere will also be held in Yanjing.
The name of the movie is "Undercover Story".
Hehe.
It is said that the investor was first looking for Qin Yuan, but Qin Yuan must have pushed it without hesitation.
At that time, he was already on fire, and he definitely couldn't look down on such a 20 million small investment follow-up film, and he was unwilling to smash his reputation so quickly.
What's more, you have to risk offending Peng Xiangming.
But the producer then found Sun Xiaoyan, Sun Xiaoyan has always been stereotyped as a TV drama actor, and there are very few invitations to movies in ordinary times, so she was moved at the time, but she also knew that this was a bit taboo, even if it was not plagiarism at all, it was definitely hurtful, so she deliberately ran back to see Peng Xiangming, and it took one night to obtain Peng Xiangming's prior understanding.
So, "Infernal Affairs" was released on October 2, and the producers had already set up the project in mid-October, Sun Xiaoyan signed a contract at the end of October, and people started filming in November, and now, on December 24th, they are about to be released - this speed of following the trend is really good!
Peng Xiangming doesn't have any opinions, because it's not this one that follows the trend.
In fact, with the fire of "Infernal Affairs", Cheng Yu, Sun Liheng, Guo Baojin, and Chen Xuan are all making appointments, and many of them are police and gangster films.
Sun Liheng finished playing Huang Zhicheng, and most of the scripts and roles he receives now are police bosses.
Guo Baojin has played Han Chen, and now looking for his plays, at least eight out of ten are gangster bosses.
Chen Xuan came to Peng Xiangming to read the script a few days ago, it was a movie looking for him to play the leading role, and the actor was a gangster thug, because he played a stupid strong!
Zeng Rou is now filming a TV series, and it is said that the heroine she plays is the wife of an undercover police officer - it is said to be called "Extreme Rescue".
Even Zou Xiaoyi, who played a policewoman in "Infernal Affairs", but actually only appeared in a limited number of scenes, contacted once some time ago, and it is said that she took the scene of a policewoman.
Who can do anything good about this kind of thing?
According to the information collected by Kong Quan, since October, that is, when the box office of "Infernal Affairs" soared, the police and gangster films of various entertainment companies began to be hurriedly established and launched.
It is conservatively estimated that from the end of this year to next year, there will be a large wave of police and gangster films and so-called undercover films in China, both movies and TV series - Sun Xiaoyan's participation in this "Undercover Story" is just fast enough, so the first shot to follow the trend was fired.
The general environment is like this, and it is not only the domestic one, the United States is equally strong in following the trend, this is the instinct of business, or capital, who can you blame?
Anyway, when the time comes, I will send someone to keep an eye on it, and scatter all the screenwriters raised by the film and television company, which one will be released and which one, just follow the trend, if you even copy the story, you will sue directly.
Normal business disputes only.
In the first half of this year, many domestic entertainment companies launched handsome "musical talents", playing the signboards of "creative genius" and "equal emphasis on appearance and talent", many companies began to promote the style of folk songs of "Dream Chaser", and in the second half of the year, they all pushed the pairing of "talents and beauties", so that "music talents" wrote songs and became producers for beautiful female singers in the same company, and hyped up.
Commercial matters are just solved commercially.
If you follow the trend and make good things, Peng Xiangming is also welcome, if you follow the trend and make a bunch of garbage, fans and fans are not stupid, let him lose money.
Besides, the topic comes back, Peng Xiangming has always felt that he and Sun Xiaoyan are not boyfriend and girlfriend, but a pair who are interested in each other's flesh, so when the time is right, they will just make an appointment with a dog man and woman with a cannon.
Each has no responsibility or authority to bind the other.
A purely carnal relationship that has nothing to do with morality.
Can you still stop people from picking up films to make money?
Anyway, no matter how much Sun Xiaoyan says she loves herself, Peng Xiangming never believes it.
After resting for a while, she seemed to have regained some strength and began to chat with Peng Xiangming.
In fact, from the first second after Peng Xiangming received the call and rushed over, she pounced on her and gnawed on it, and the two of them hadn't said a few words seriously.
She asked, "Hey, tomorrow's celebration of Dongsheng Media will have a red carpet, you know, who are you going with?"
Peng Xiangming laughed again, "Don't worry about this sister! Today, I'm about to be driven crazy by one phone call after another!"
In the morning, it was Dai Xiaofei, in the morning it was Zhou Shunqing and Wu Bing, and then even Qi Yuan called to ask, just before receiving a call from Sun Xiaoyan just now, he also received a call from Jiang Xianxian.
The targets of these calls are all unabashedly straight to their red carpet female companion questions.
With the popularity of "22", these women seem to be restless.
Gao Jingjing didn't ask.
It is estimated that she should not have received the invitation from Dongsheng Media at all?
After all, she has really been working for half a year, and she has not appeared in public at all, and at the same time, she neither takes on dramas nor other business activities, and faintly feels like she is going to quit the rivers and lakes.
So people treat her as if she quit the rivers and lakes.
At this time, Sun Xiaoyan also laughed when she heard this, thought about it, and said, "It's too! You're too popular now!"
When it came to this topic, she suddenly became a little more energetic, stood up again, lay on Peng Xiangming's chest, and asked, "Hey, how much has your album sold now?"
Peng Xiangming said: "Before I came, there were probably more than 25 million pieces of data. ”
In the previous three days, the sales of members were close to 19 million, and there were nearly four million pre-orders for non-members, and after the sales restrictions were lifted this morning, that is, in a few hours, they got nearly two million copies of sales - this pool of spring water in the domestic music industry seems to have been completely woken up by this album, from practitioners in the industry to people who rarely spend money on albums, have been completely stirred, and have paid for this album, so they have promoted album sales all the way up.
Now it seems that He Qunyu's estimate of exceeding 30 million sales within a week is by no means a fantasy, and it is entirely possible. It's even possible to sell more.
"Wow!"
Sun Xiaoyan let out a heartfelt exclamation, and looked at Peng Xiangming's eyes shining.
With a little homework, it is not difficult to know that before the release of this "22", the ceiling of the entire album sales data in the domestic music industry was only more than 16 million copies.
"Hey, how much can you make with this album alone?" she asked.
Peng Xiangming smiled and said: "If in the end, if you can sell 30 or 40 million copies, probably the overall calculation will be more than 300 million sales, I, plus my studio, will take more than half." ”
"Wow......"
She didn't hide her surprise and envy at all, "You can make money!"
She crossed her fingers and counted there, "Jiang Xianxian, Zhou Shunqing, Fan Hongyu, these are all the most popular singers this year, they are all under your hands, they are all helping you make money, plus your album, and "Infernal Affairs", just the box office account, you will get at least one billion, and there will be a share of the on-demand broadcast after the Internet later......"
"Oh my God!" she sighed, "You're worth billions now!"
"Uh-huh, almost. ”
Peng Xiangming echoed.
I actually forgot to buy the stock of Tiantian Music in advance!
However, at this time, being envied by Sun Xiaoyan's real name, Peng Xiangming's self-esteem, which was hit by Liu Mi in the morning, still found a lot back.
"You've only been popular for a year!"
She shook her head, sighed, envy and hatred, "Even if I film for a lifetime, I won't be able to make you this money!"
Peng Xiangming smiled, and suddenly remembered that she had rejected "You from the Stars" at the beginning - in fact, he always remembered that he was careful - and couldn't help but say at this time: "There was a chance, if I had looked for you and you took my "You from the Stars", in the next two years, you could earn hundreds of millions of dollars just from various endorsements and commercial performances, but you pushed it." ”
"Huh?"
Sun Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment before remembering that Peng Xiangming had found her own play, which matched the name "You from the Star", but she only smiled and didn't care.
Not going back to act in youth dramas is a development strategy that she and the agency decided after research, and she must not disrupt this arrangement for him just because Peng Xiangming is looking for herself.
And...... She doesn't think that just because Peng Xiangming is in charge of the screenplay, this drama will really be popular.
Besides, even if it is popular, it will not be as exaggerated as Peng Xiangming said - just receiving endorsements and commercial performances will earn hundreds of millions, which is really too exaggerated, how popular is it!
I am already popular enough, among the domestic actresses and Xiaohuadan, I am already in the forefront, and the salary for a single episode has been able to get 400,000, and I am climbing to 500,000.
You can earn hundreds of millions of dollars just from endorsements and commercial performances, so you have to be more popular than yourself Dai Xiaofei!
Of course, this is Peng Xiangming bragging and saying big things.
Of course, she is so smart, she will definitely not say anything to make Peng Xiangming unhappy in person, not to mention that she has not only just obtained physical satisfaction at the moment, but is also indulging in the myth of the wealth created by the man in front of her in just one year.
So at this time, she smiled and said: "It's okay, if your drama can really be as popular as you say, then when your company opens the next play, I will pester you, if you don't let me act, I won't give up and squeeze you dry!"
Peng Xiangming smiled, looked up at her, and reached out to push her head down, "Okay, come, squeeze dry!"
"Hey, you're ......"
She resisted a little, but she still buried her head for a newly born young rich man with a net worth of billions - lying there, reaching out to play with Sun Xiaoyan's long hair that hung down on her lower abdomen, Peng Xiangming suddenly lost her mind, "Or, I'll try to play the star?"
He couldn't help but think, "The person who created that style of performance must be a genius and a master, but I don't have to create it? I just need to imitate it! And it's not imitation like borrowing, it's a sample and it's just a sample that needs to be thought about and copied step by step!"
"Anyway, there is no star master in this world, and there is no such nonsensical acting method at all, so you have nothing to compare with me. Even if it's only five or six points of performance, who knows?"
Thinking of the unobstructed place, he simply put his arm under his head, accompanied by the stimulating feeling of his lower body, he became more and more excited, "The story, the rhythm, the shots, the performances, everything is so perfect, even if I only copy sixty percent, the box office should not be lower than "Infernal Affairs", right?"
"After all, it was the pinnacle of Xingye's directorial career. ”
The two-in-one chapter, if you don't dismantle it, the afternoon update will be gone.
