Chapter 345: Set a Small Goal First (Ask for a Final! Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for a Recommendation Ticket!)
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to thank Mr. Tang in person. Zhou Shiwei said with a smile.
"Thank you?" Tang An didn't know why.
"Yes, thank you Mr. Tang for persuading Xiao Ming to give up the TV series "Bubble Summer", I have persuaded him many times before, but he insisted on taking this show, no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless. Zhou Shiwei shook his head helplessly.
Of course, it is a good thing for an agent to have a big-name star under his umbrella, but the big star has a lot of ideas of his own, and he is also relatively strong in the relationship between the two, and it is difficult to persuade him to pay attention to it.
If you think about the TV series "Bubble Summer" with your toes, you can know that it is the kind of treasure island idol drama that was a few years ago, which is absolutely harmful to Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming just wanted to pick it up, but he couldn't help it, but yesterday Wang Xiaoming suddenly said that he wouldn't take it, which made him confused, and later learned that it was Tang An who mentioned it at the banquet that day.
There are few people in the entire Huayi who can make Wang Xiaoming obedient, and I am afraid that there is only Tang An except for the Wang brothers.
After all, Wang Xiaoming's two most important movies were directed by Tang An, and the help to him was huge.
As for Feng Xiaogang... The year before last, "Assembly" used several company actors, but without him, I was quite unhappy.
"That's what happened. Tang An said suddenly.
"I just casually mentioned that idol dramas, especially Baodao idol dramas, are not a wise choice for an actor like him who has just hit the big screen. ”
Just for this matter, Tang An just happened to remember to mention it at that time.
However, Zhou Shiwei is really a very good agent, and he may not be as good as Huang Bin after him in terms of marketing, but Zhou Shiwei's planning and consideration of actors is a little better.
"I still want to thank Mr. Tang, if I really take this drama, these two years will be in vain. Zhou Shiwei said sincerely.
Tang An waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Zhou is polite." ”
Tang An went upstairs with him, and he could see that Zhou Shiwei was not in a high mood, so he asked a little bit, and Zhou Shiwei did not hide it.
is not only this "Bubble Summer", but also a movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2", he also tried his best to persuade Wang Xiaoming not to accept it, but he didn't persuade him, and filming will start in a week.
I have to say that Zhou Shiwei's vision is quite good, although Wang Xiaoming's acting skills are average in the eyes of the outside world so far, but it is not to the extent that he will automatically filter when he hears Wang Xiaoming's movie later.
Since winning the leading role of "The Condor Heroes" in 04, Zhou Shiwei can be said to have pushed Wang Xiaoming to the point of being a first-line student step by step.
And every choice he made was proved to be right, the original "Deer and Ding Ji" Zhou Shiwei felt that it was not time to play such a subversive role at that stage, and the direction he planned for Wang Xiaoming was to play some gentlemanly light comedy like Hugh Grant, not the kind of crazy role.
Wang Xiaoming wanted to challenge it, and the final result proved that Zhou Shiwei's judgment was correct to some extent, and Wang Xiaoming was "slapped with bricks" by netizens for the first time.
plus two "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" and one "Bubble Summer" are one of Wang Xiaoming's "stains" in the early stage.
There is also 07 years when Wang Xiaoming goes to sing is also Zhou Shiwei's opinion, at that time Wang Xiaoming was already a first-line in the TV circle, if he continued to film, he could make a lot of money, but the quality could not be guaranteed.
Zhou Shiwei was willing to let him slow down, and if he didn't have a suitable script, he would sing and ask a professional vocal teacher to teach him.
Anyway, if an actor doesn't sing well, it won't have much impact, and it can still maintain his popularity.
But Wang Xiaoming wanted to dance again, of course Zhou Shiwei disagreed, and the bouncing did not conform to the personality.
It turned out that he was right again.
may have seen that Zhou Shiwei was disobedient, and Wang Xiaoming ran away to set up a studio and found Huang Bin, whom he met at a party before.
Huang Bin was not originally an agent, he was a marketing officer, and he once served as the marketing director of films such as "Wuji", "Mei Lanfang", and "Nanjing".
He has been a reporter, producer, and a professional marketing talent, and only took over Wang Xiaoming's brokerage business after 10 years, he is more like a businessman.
He has two things to look at Wang Xiaoming's creation, name and money, and since he took over, Wang Xiaoming has begun to have a lot of negative news, which is almost invisible now.
In the end, Wang Xiaoming also has money and fame, and on the one hand, he is very successful, after all, being an actor is just a profession.
There is almost a year left, and Wang Xiaoming should set up a studio on his own, it seems that after filming "Zhao's Orphan", it will take exactly a month.
Li Binbin will also work alone next year, plus Fan Binbin, who has already left, three of Huayi's five top artists will leave, and there are still two left, Zou Xun and Luo Haiqiong.
Tang An shook his head, not thinking about next year, he would not be in Huayi at that time, and it had nothing to do with him.
stayed in his office for a while, and took Wang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Lu Yi to Beijing Normal University at No. 19, Xinjiekou Outer Street, Haidian District.
After a few moments of greeting with a director of the school, and a few words with a student host, the lecture officially began at 10 o'clock in the morning.
In the past, he talked about movies at Beijing University and Qinghua, which is Tang An's strength, but now when it comes to entrepreneurship and struggle, this is not what Tang An is good at.
It's certainly not good to be too realistic, and chicken soup is everywhere.
Facing the applause of thousands of students in the audience, Tang An took the three of them to the stage.
After an opening remark, take a seat.
"Hello students, I am Tang An, and I am also a director, and I am entrusted by the school today to give you a few casual words. ”
"Hello classmates, I'm Wang Xiaoming. ”
"I'm Deng Chao. ”
"I'm Lu Yi. ”
There were four rounds of applause before the host spoke.
"Hello Director Tang, today you are talking about entrepreneurship and success, first of all, do you think you are successful now?"
Tang An pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "It depends on how you say this, if you look at the goal when I first stepped into this industry, it can be regarded as a success." ”
The host interjected, "Does that mean Director Tang thinks he is not successful enough now?"
It's not successful enough, brag about it!
The students in the audience saw the routine at a glance, and an entrepreneur came before, saying that although he had a lot of money, his life was a very failure.
Clean outfit!
However, what Tang An said was not those routine words of "I am rich, I am not happy", "I am rich, I have lost something".
"Everyone's goals change depending on where they are, and when I first started in the industry, I just wanted my films to be on the big screen for the audience to see. ”
"Later, when the goal was achieved, I began to think that the box office exceeded 100 million, 200 million or even 300 million, which was the box office record in front of me. ”
"Records have been broken one after another, until now, I have broken the total box office in domestic film history, so have I achieved my goals?"
Facing the unclear eyes of the audience, Tang An shook his head, "No." ”
"Since the current record holder is myself, my goal is to set myself and break the record I have set in the future......
"No matter what you do, people always have to look forward, if you don't advance, you will retreat, you are satisfied with the status quo and stop, and the people behind will not stop ......"
As soon as I said it, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, how cool it was to pretend to be forced.
When Tang An stopped, the host continued to ask, "Director Tang, what do you think the educational significance of the movie "Chinese Partner" is for our contemporary college students?"
Tang An shook his head, "I very much disagree with movies as education, and I am a very pragmatic person, I will not be vain, and I will not talk to you about dreams, because I think it is impossible, 99.9% of people will never reach their dreams, dreams are just a spiritual sustenance, and goals are the motivation for you to move forward and struggle." ”
At this time, I don't know who in the audience suddenly pulled a voice, "Dreams are dreams, think about it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately erupted in laughter.
It seems that no matter what era or what kind of university, there will be a variety of students.
Tang An was not annoyed, he smiled and said, "What the classmate said just now is right, dreams are actually things that you think about in your dreams, if your dream is to be the richest man in the world, then you might as well set a small goal and earn him 100 million ...... first."
"Hahaha..."
Before Tang An finished speaking, the audience immediately erupted in a burst of violent laughter.
"Tang An is here to tell jokes. ”
"Haha, it's the funniest joke of the year. ”
"Set a small goal, earn him 100 million first, I wrote down this sentence, just use this sentence as a buckle signature. ”
"It's a realistic goal, it's a small goal. ”
......
