Chapter 300: Star Studio
Zhao Laoyan's popularity and popularity in China is beyond doubt, and his sketches have become an indispensable delicacy at the Spring Festival Gala every year.
Over the years, the sketches he performed at the Spring Festival Gala have been one of the candidates for the best language sketches, and none of them have been selected, and there are many of them that have won the best number of times.
So much so that Zhao Laoyan was called the sketch king of Huaxia by the audience.
In recent years, because of his huge popularity and fame in China, Zhao Laoyan has also been invited by many crews to appear in TV series or movies.
However, without exception, there is no evaluation of a screen work, and the sketches that can be performed like him are deeply liked and loved by the audience.
At one time, Zhao Laoyan went to shoot TV series and movies in order to expand his acting career, which was misunderstood as an act of making money.
It hurt him a lot.
Yang Ming listened carefully to Zhao Laoyan talking about his thoughts, and he also felt that Zhao Laoyan was confused about his development path at this moment.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there was a celebrity in his previous life whose path to fame was very similar to Zhao Laoyan, and he could be applied, Yang Ming didn't dare to pat his chest and promise Zhao Laoyan that he could help him.
You must know that standing at the top of an industry like this, if you want to develop in other aspects, you need to be very careful and demonstrated.
Hearing Yang Ming's assurance, Zhao Laoyan glanced at Yang Ming a little hesitantly, and said in his heart, he came to Yang Ming to help him check the gates, not to join Oriental DreamWorks, in that case, the risk he took would be too great.
He can't take the popularity and fame accumulated over the years as a bet, because the bet is too big, but Zhao Laoyan has also seen countless miracles staged on Yang Ming with his own eyes, plus Yang Ming has helped him several times, if he wants him to reject Yang Ming directly, he can't pull this face.
Yang Ming saw that Zhao Laoyan was indecisive and looked embarrassed, and immediately understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but say sincerely and seriously: "Brother, look at this, let's not talk about your joining first, but cooperate first, our company can invest, and I will personally write you a tailor-made script, and after this cooperation, how about we go back and talk about this matter?"
"Oh?" Zhao Laoyan couldn't help but think of the first time he and the young man in front of him worked together.
is also the same, this teenager is extremely confident that his sketch script can move him, and he also proposed to take no money, and only need to make a cameo in his TV series.
As a result, it is obvious that he was tempted, and then agreed to make a cameo, and also pulled Song Honghong together, and he had the very classic role of Shancai's parents in "Meteor Garden".
It's a win-win partnership.
"You kid is still the same as before, and you will always have so much confidence in yourself. Zhao Laoyan nodded at Yang Ming and said with an inexplicable sigh.
"Huh. Yang Ming smiled slightly, and then continued: "Brother, I also know that if I want to invite you to join directly, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”
"But I can promise you, as long as you have the intention in the future, you can set up your own studio, everything is up to you, and the company only needs to take a part of the shares of your studio. ”
Zhao Laoyan looked up at Yang Ming in great astonishment when he heard this, his young face, confident demeanor, and calm temperament, he didn't look like a teenager under twenty at all.
In fact, with the experience of his previous life, Yang Ming knows that with the passage of time, the king-level artists under the entertainment company will become more and more difficult to control, and stars of this level have already become famous, and then using the kind of treaty with various requirements to bind these stars will only become more and more counterproductive.
Therefore, Yang Ming thought of the studio cooperation method adopted by large entertainment companies for their big-name stars in his previous life.
Zhao Laoyan, as the sketch king of Huaxia, is naturally very suitable for this cooperation model.
"Studio?" Zhao Laoyan immediately became interested when he heard this, and said questioningly.
Subsequently, Yang Ming explained in detail every detail of the star studio system in his previous life to Zhao Laoyan.
The studio system is actually to use the popularity and influence of stars, borrow the company's resources for personal integration, and the benefits are also shared with the original company, which is the prototype of the star studio. Both parties are familiar with the operating procedures of the entertainment industry and are not short of funds to maximize resource allocation and achieve a win-win situation. This model tends to only work for big-name stars. Because of the high popularity of "big coffee" and the huge fan base, it is easier to produce entertainment products in a targeted manner.
Hearing Yang Ming's introduction, Zhao Laoyan glanced at him meaningfully, he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, has experienced countless ups and downs, has seen many celebrities ups and downs, and he knows all the rules of the entertainment industry.
When he listened to Yang Ming's studio system now, he immediately thought that the pattern of the entertainment industry would be redivided.
In the entertainment industry, which big-name star is not like being his own boss? It can be said that there is no one who does not want to, and there is no star who does not want to have his own career.
Even if he Zhao Laoyan is no exception, it can be said that deep down in his heart, he always has a kind of self-respecting resistance to joining Oriental DreamWorks and letting him work hard under a young man who is younger than himself and still calls himself his brother.
However, now that there is a system of this studio, Zhao Laoyan does not have this kind of burden at all.
They are now in partnership and are equal.
Moreover, Zhao Laoyan can imagine the impact of this system on other entertainment giants as long as it appears in the entertainment industry, so to speak, this system can completely leverage the pattern that has long been fixed by several other big entertainment companies.
A very important premise of this system is that the parent company must have abundant resources.
Although Oriental DreamWorks has only been established for a long time, Zhao Laoyan knows that this company has an advantage that other companies cannot match.
That is Yang Ming's terrifying screenwriting ability.
"Meteor Garden" and "The Prince Becomes a Frog", the two TV series that have repeatedly broken the ratings, are all written by Yang Ming, and the two sketch scripts in Zhao Laoyan's hands are also tailor-made by Yang Ming for him.
It can be said that others don't know Yang Ming's screenwriting ability, but Zhao Laoyan is clear.
In addition, Oriental DreamWorks has only been established for a short time and does not have a deep heritage, so the implementation of this star studio system will be more flexible.
Perhaps, in terms of resources and connections, Oriental DreamWorks will be inferior to other established giant companies, but Yang Ming's screenwriting ability and guaranteed capital flow are enough to support the studios of one or two big-name stars.
Therefore, Zhao Laoyan didn't think about it for long, nodded and said very simply: "Okay, no problem, but I have to read the script you gave me before I agree." ”
"Brother Zhao, you can rest assured!" Yang Ming smiled faintly, he had already prepared a script suitable for Zhao Laoyan in his heart.
