Chapter 44 Capital Never Sleeps
The entertainment industry is far from being as glamorous as it seems on the surface, and Xia Ge doesn't know if his mother, who often wants him to enter the entertainment industry, knows the rules inside.
As far as the information he just got, there are only two kinds of people in the entertainment industry.
Players and chess pieces!
No matter who you are, even if you are a popular star, a big director can't get rid of these two identities.
The big director he once liked, Feng Dagang, would set up a shell company a month and a half later, and sold 70% of his shares to his old club Huayi Media at a price of 1.05 billion.
Promise to earn 100 million profits in 2016, and increase by 15% every year for 4 years.
It means that Feng Dagang must earn 674 million in 5 years. If you don't do it, you need to make up the profits yourself.
This bet naturally failed, and he should have earned 100 million in the first year, but he only earned 50 million.
The running men's group, which is now on fire, will also fail. Dongyang Media, which has been joined by many celebrities, is also a shell company with a capital of 10 million. In the end, it was sold to Huayi Media for 1.08 billion. In the same five years, a profit of 606 million is required.
In the first year, he also earned only 50 million. This led to the big star Yang Ying even if he had just given birth to a child, he still had to participate in variety shows during his menstrual period, and recorded the show in cold water.
Countless big stars have become tool people, taking on countless bad scripts.
Bad movies in the future will also be staged in a pile.
Just like Xia Ge's countless company failures before, it seems that there is no connection, but it is actually because of the general environment. The pile of bad movies is also related to the fact that the big stars have to do it as a last resort.
Of course, there are successful cases, and Yang Xiao is one of them. But this is what Yang Xiao earned back with her Xiaohua and Xiao Xianrou for four years of non-stop filming.
Therefore, in the entertainment industry, most people are just pawns subject to capital, and if you want to break through the rules, you must have strong strength and luck.
Now that I think about it, so many famous celebrities can't do it in four or five years for hundreds of millions, and my goal of 1.3 billion in 3 years is indeed ambitious.
In countless cases, Xia Ge is most emotionally touched by a person named Cai Yujun, who is younger than Xia Ge, but he has been bumpy since his debut.
First, I participated in the Star Movement Asia talent show jointly organized by Anhui Satellite TV and Bang Ziguo, and won the 15th place in three months of training.
At this time, he had nothing but to sign a contract with the company behind the show. In the second season, because of the support of the capital behind it, it entered the top few after the show and then made a successful debut!
But after debut, it does not mean success, it also depends on the operation of the capital behind it.
Cai Yujun's men's group was originally famous, but it was confused under the operation of capital.
The relationship inside is extremely complicated, and the capital is backed by the TV station and owns the program copyright. But the capital was profit-seeking, and at that time, the entire copyright, including Cai Yujun, was sold to another company for 20 million. At that time, Cai Yujun's value was only hundreds of thousands.
But after the company failed to bring Cai Yujun's boy group to the market, it did not give other resources. Cai Yujun was also refrigerated for two years.
The company generally signs a long-term contract with the artist, and if it is violated, it will pay a very high price!
The reason why Xia Ge admires Cai Yujun is because he wants to be successful. sued the company directly, and the forced termination was claimed 320 million for this.
After that, Cai Yujun incarnated as a dragon-slaying boy and began to play with capital, and in 18 years, he participated in a show called idol debut. As a personal trainee, he participated in this variety show produced by Kiwifruit. Won one out of 9 people out of more than 100 people to re-debut as an idol boy group.
The countless resources invested in this show must be a phenomenal program, with more than 100 trainees, most of whom are Huayi Media, Leyue Media, Kunyin, Ciwen and other large brokerage companies as backstage.
As Cai Yujun, who has no background and is still carrying a big lawsuit, he has become the first person to make his debut through strength!
Xia Ge was reminiscing about how the popular idol a few years later rose from the grassroots and became a big star with hundreds of millions of fans and a net worth of hundreds of millions, but was interrupted by Hu Jing.
"Xia Ge, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long, let's go, I'll take you to the recording studio. Hu Jing said apologetically.
Today she is wearing professional attire, a black lady's suit and short skirt, wearing sexy black stockings, her hair is coiled up to reveal a beautiful melon seed face, and her fair skin makes her look very young.
Xia Ge recalled that the day before yesterday, the girl with black-rimmed glasses and sportswear in the antique street couldn't make the two overlap.
The [Scumbag's Glasses] in the equipment column is passively activated, and the EQ is increased by 50%, and Xia Ge Ghost boasted: "You are so beautiful today." ”
Hu Jing's face flushed slightly, she didn't know why she always felt that Xia Ge was a little kind.
Smiling, she said: "The day before yesterday, the outdoor footage was more casual, it looked more cordial, I need to interview today, I need to be solemn, so I need to dress more formally." ”
politely said two sentences, Xia Ge followed Hu Jing to record a few questions and answers, but they were actually relatively simple. is what Xia Ge does and why Wang Shizhen calligraphy.
And what do you feel like suddenly becoming a multimillionaire by picking up leaks?
It is estimated that the program team intends to shape Xia Ge as a lucky person, so that many people will pay attention to the antique street. Listening to Hu Jing's meaning, there is still a show on that street.
In the future, after the show is broadcast, it will be done once a week, and ordinary people can also pick up leaks.
After the recording, Xia Ge was paid 10,000 yuan, 5,000 each for his grandfather and him, and the other amateurs on the show were also the same. Not everyone has a separate interview, though.
"Thank you for coming for the interview, in fact, this is the material that the news channel wants, my treasure hunt will not edit these shots, it was enough for that day. Hu Jing said gratefully.
"What's the gracious thing, thanks to your show. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a chance to pick it up that day. Xia Ge said sincerely.
"Okay, then I'm not polite to you, I actually have one more thing to tell you today, I'll invite you to go out for coffee. Hu Jing liked Xia Ge's humility very much, and said with a smile.
Xia Ge naturally wouldn't refuse to drink coffee with a beautiful woman, but was a little curious about what she was going to say.
Coming to Credit Suisse Coffee in the lobby on the first floor of the TV Building, Xia Ge was slightly stunned. He thought of the content that capital never sleeps.
Credit Suisse coffee is also a case, and in the future, it will benchmark Starbucks and burn billions of dollars every year to occupy the market. Its name is almost always seen in large office buildings.
"What's the hair?" Hu Jing shook his slender fingers in front of Xia Ge's eyes and said curiously.
"Oh nothing, just thinking of something. Xia Ge returned to his soul, and seemed to be affected by [Scumbag's Eyes], he invited Hu Jing to sit down very gentlemanly, and after asking what he wanted to drink, he went to the front desk to order.
He didn't let the beauty treat him for the first time, he came over with coffee intimately, and also prepared spoons, straws, paper towels, and was very careful. The more Hu Jing looked, the more satisfied she became.
At first, Hu Jing didn't want to get straight to the point, and planned to make small talk. Then he continued with the opening words and joked, "Did you remember the scene when you used to have coffee with your girlfriend?"
Xia Ge didn't know what was going on, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind. The beautiful woman asks you about your ex-girlfriend to prove that she is interested in you.
In the past, Xia Ge was just a piece of wood, and he didn't think about the affairs of men and women at all, and he didn't have contact with girls a few days ago, so he didn't notice it. Only now do I realize that I seem to have suddenly opened my mind.
"No, no. I'm a chaste little boy who has never been in love. Xia Ge said with a shy smile.
"Haha. ”
This made Hu Jing laugh. She already knew that Xia Ge was 23 years old this year, and it was really interesting that she hadn't been in love at such an age.
"Just now I thought about whether some of my ideas were wrong, you look at this Credit Suisse coffee, the valuation may be tens of billions in the future, I originally wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but even if I become a top star, how much money can I make?"
"If you can start a business, isn't it easier to succeed? Xia Ge finally spit out this sentence, and his heart was a little calmer.
His mentality was somewhat shocked by the [Capital Never Sleeps] he had obtained before.
Just like yesterday's communication with Lin Tao, the super second generation, its own pattern was opened. He felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge today. A lot of thoughts are spinning around in my head, and it feels a little confusing.
This made him a little skeptical about his goals and whether he needed to make some changes.
Hu Jingting's eyes lit up, her purpose was to become Xia Ge's agent. Now that he heard that he was planning to enter the entertainment industry, he immediately said excitedly: "Xia Ge, we have to have a good chat!"
