Next, Hong Chen and Yan Chi began to work on the filming of "Detective Chinatown".

The first step is to set a budget, how much you want to spend, who to invite, etc., so as to determine the approximate investment.

Yan Chi is in charge of the crew, he is the director, and it is very simple to find a reliable crew.

As for the other preparations of the crew, Hong Chen found Ge Chen and Wang Shaoqi to help.

Ge Chen is conscientious in terms of agents and is very clear about the process of making movies, but she is better at coordinating resources, managing teams, and promoting artists.

In the preparation for the film, Wang Shaoqi played an important role.

This person is very capable, and Hong Chen also has plans to reuse him.

That night, Hong Chen called Ge Chen and Wang Shaoqi together to discuss things.

Hong Chen directly said his thoughts:

"I'm going to set up a studio and spin it off from the company, what do you think?"

It seemed that Hong Chen had expected such an idea, and Ge Chen and Wang Shaoqi were not surprised.

In the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon for artists to set up their own studios. It's just that setting up a studio means that the entertainment company doesn't provide you with resources, and if the artist himself doesn't have the ability, it will be a situation where his popularity will plummet.

After all, not every artist has endless plays.

And the risk is very high, one mistake, you may be killed by the big waves of the entertainment industry, and there is no place to turn over.

Such examples are not uncommon.

There are many successful people, such as Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, as well as the once popular Hua Dan Fan Xiaoice, all of whom rely on the studio to get bigger and bigger.

Of course, the studio also depends on whether the ability is good, if the studio is not good, it will only harm the actors.

Take the parallel world as an example, the young actor Wu Lei, a child star debut, has high emotional intelligence, is very polite, and is excellent in all aspects.

But he didn't sign a brokerage company, and his studio was run by his mother.

That is, when he participates in the show and receives the script, his mother is responsible for reviewing it.

As a result, Wu Lei's really impressive and highly praised role is the role of "Feiliu", and the rest of the scripts like "Asura" are generally scored between 3-5 points.

That's the ability of the studio, and it's not about the actors. He was brilliant and deserved to be on a higher stage.

Compared with other artists of the same age, such as Wang Junkai, backed by Li Bingbing's studio, there are many fashion resources, variety show resources, and film and television resources, and they are developing in the direction of all-round artists.

So, it's very risky to set up a studio.

"I support, in fact, with your current popularity, you can terminate the contract with Huahai in advance. Ge Chen said.

In fact, Ge Chen was also a little disappointed in Huahai, she had seen too many intrigues and business faces, and she was too tired to deal with.

"Will Huahai agree to terminate the contract early?" asked Hong Chen.

He didn't want to let the sea of flowers suck blood from his body again, especially after what happened last time.

"Of course not, after "I Am Not the God of Medicine", your commercial value is very large, I have received dozens of notices from Yue Opera here, and Huahai will definitely not let go of your cash cow. Ge Chen shook his head and said.

Hong Chen knew that she still had something to do, so he listened quietly.

But he couldn't help it. Ge Chen said that in this regard, Ge Chen knows the situation very well.

"According to the liquidated damages of the contract, you need to pay ten times the resource compensation given by the company to terminate the contract. In other words, how much money has been invested in you by Duohuahai this year, you only need to return it tenfold. ”

"But in fact, Huahai didn't spend much on us, I calculated, in addition to "The Best of Us" is produced by Huahai, there are also some advertising and magazine costs, and the value of this investment is almost about eight million. ”

"If you pay compensation according to the price, 80 million, you can restore your free body. ”

"And your current worth, in the long run, is much more than that. ”

"Eighty million?" Hong Chen was slightly surprised, because this number is not much in terms of artist termination.

The termination fees of first-line artists are often sky-high, with orders of magnitude in the hundreds of millions.

Hong Chen remembers that one of the provisions in the contract signed by B is: invest no less than 5 million in film and television resources in artists every year.

Now, it's a good thing that there is less skew in resources.

In the current situation, even if Huahai takes the initiative to sign a contract with him, Hong Chen is unwilling.

In fact, Hong Chen's choice at that time was not wrong, he was alone at that time, without any support, and it was difficult to get ahead without signing a contract and relying on himself.

signed a lot of contracts, but now after seeing the constraints and darkness of the entertainment company on the artist, he realized that the entertainment company only wants to suck blood from the artist, and will not really care about the artist's thoughts.

"But the best-case scenario is to set up a studio. Ge Chen explained.

If you terminate the contract, you will have to fight some lawsuits no matter what, and you will have a lot of trouble with the company. In the case of the studio, it is much simpler.

The so-called studio, to put it simply, is that Hong Chen is still under the banner of Huahai, but he has regained his free body, his salary will not be taken by the company, and he does not need to consult the company for the decision of some things.

Things refer to the category of scandal hype, and the company has the right to decide on the scandal and hype of celebrities, and celebrities must also cooperate. But this incident hasn't happened to Hong Chen yet.

The sea of flowers is just a name, which can attract investment, etc. Of course, Hong Chen's claims to the outside world are still called artists under Huahai, and this will not change.

Under normal circumstances, Huahai is of course reluctant to terminate the contract, but if Hong Chen chooses to compensate for the termination fee, Huahai has no choice.

So, after deciding to open a studio, Hong Chen and Ge Chen went straight to the Huahai Building and Wang Yao's office.

"You want to open a studio?" Wang Yao's face was a little ugly when he heard the news.

After "I Am Not the God of Medicine", Wang Yao actually admired Hong Chen a little, and it can be seen that Hong Chen is a very thoughtful person.

But now that Hong Chen wants to open a studio, will he be a little arrogant.

It is normal for celebrities to open studios, and basically the current first-line stars will be more or less like this. It's just Hong Chen, can he do it now?

"You've thought it through? It's a big deal, and you're not going to get any resources from the company in the future. Wang Yao frowned and said.

"Manager, I'm sure, thank you for the care of Huahai during this time. Hong Chen said calmly, "I am still under Huahai, this will not change, except that the account sharing contract and the resource tilt contract are no longer performed, nominally I am still an employee of Huahai, but it is more like cooperation." ”

"I see, I'll think about it, give me a few days to reply. Wang Yao's eyes were slightly deep.

It's a bit of a coincidence, because Wang Yao is thinking about changing Hong Chen's agent. He had said before that Ge Chen had wasted Hongchen's commercial value.

Hong Chen, a young, good-looking and powerful actor, if used well, is definitely a cash cow. Of course, the method used may not be as Hong Chen thought.

It's just a pity that this cash cow is not willing to be at the mercy of others.

"Hong Chen, in the end, I advise you, if you really open a studio, you may not be able to bear any risk. When Hong Chen left, Wang Yao said a sentence in the back, and the threat in his words was very strong.

Hearing his words, Hong Chen didn't look back and left directly. He has a system, even if there are storms in the future, he can withstand it.

Since "Zhu Xian", Wang Yao and Hong Chen's concepts have been different. Now the contradiction is on the table, which is very normal.

Wang Yao knew that he couldn't stop Hong Chen's establishment of a studio.

Because the company's resources invested in Hong Chen are not enough, Hong Chen has the ability to terminate the contract with the company. He regretted a little, why didn't he give Hong Chen a few high-value top resources in the early days and lock Hong Chen in the company.

After that, Hong Chen began to set up a studio, and Yan Chi was his partner and joined his studio.

and his team, Ge Chen, Wang Shaoqi, etc., have joined.

The biggest difference is that Hong Chen has become the boss at the moment, and Ge Chen is his subordinate and a member of his company.

Including the entire team, it no longer belongs to the sea of flowers, it all belongs to him personally.

This is just the beginning, and after that, the studio still has legal, financial, public relations and other teams that need to be improved, but Ge Chen and Wang Shaoqi have handled these things very well.

Hong Chen only needs to focus on filming.

Five days later, Hong Chen and Huahai signed a new contract to cooperate with Huahai in the mode of a studio.

At this point, Hongchen Studio was officially established. However, few people know about this matter, and there is no need for both sides to make a big deal about it.

And this studio has just been established, and it is going to face a difficult test. That is whether the first movie released as a producer - "Detective Chinatown" will achieve the desired effect.

Success or failure, in one fell swoop.
