Chapter 424: Young People Should Exercise and Exercise
With the continuous excavation of talent scouts, the number of trainees of Nova Entertainment Company continues to increase. By the end of November, the number of trainees had increased from 3 to 50.
After that, Nova Entertainment divided the trainees into classes, with 25 boys and 25 girls. And, just like the school, the trainees are divided into classes. Now joining the trainee is the first batch of new star trainees, and after that, every three years, another session will be recruited.
As trainees who have not yet become famous, they are like going to university, eating and living together, training in a unified manner, and then when the time is ripe, they will push out the trainees who have been trained and show people the results of training and talents as commodities.
In the early days, because the new star entertainment company had to make a name for itself quickly, the time for idols to become finished products was very short, and after only rough training, they had the opportunity to participate in film and television dramas and release records.
Basically, as long as it is not too low in appearance and basic plain makeup, it is a small fresh meat and a small vase, it has a chance to become popular quickly.
Of course, this is only the beginning, and the Humen Film and Television Base is short of people. In addition, Lin Qi gave a large number of original songs that did not appear in this world.
You must know that in the 80s, many people didn't know about pop songs at all, and there were only two genres of traditional domestic songs - bel canto singing and ethnic singing.
Many people even listened to Teresa Teng's songs, and only then did they realize that they had mastered the so-called pop singing.
But many of Teresa Teng's songs are not original to her, and many of them are covers of popular songs of the Republic of China before liberation. In other words, the enlightenment of the first batch of domestic pop songs in the early days of reform and opening up actually relied on the old songs of the Republic of China.
After Teresa Teng's pop songs were launched, more new songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan further swept the mainland of China.
Why did you become popular when you sang casually in that era?
Because, people listen too little!
Just like the songs of later generations, such as "Little Apple", "On the Moon", "The Most Dazzling National Style", and "Love Trading", are they really bad? But in the 80s, except for a few emotional songs, other pop songs were really sung and played, and they couldn't grab much more than the amateur singer's casual song K song.
Therefore, a large number of popular songs have been forgotten by people, and only some classics from the eighties and nineties are still sung. As a result, many people have a wrong impression that the previous songs are more sentimental and classic than the songs of later generations.
But this is based on a much larger number of garbage songs, which have become the tears of the times.
"Mr. Lin's vision is really powerful, Humen Film and Television Base is simply a treasure of feng shui, and there is no bad chance at all! Several newcomers can reach 1,000 yuan per episode of TV series, it is estimated that it will not be long before some people can be similar to those big-name stars in Hong Kong, and the salary of a TV series is tens of thousands. Xiao Chen hugged those financial statements, and his teeth were about to laugh. Because those well-cultivated stars are essentially affiliated to Nova Entertainment, every salary or record dividend they earn needs to be given to Nova Entertainment Company a large amount of money.
Although cultivating idols in the early stage is more expensive and time-consuming, once they are formed, the return is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the original, and they do not suffer at all.
And Xiao Chen also calculated carefully, he found that even if the company does not accept advertising endorsements or other commercial operations, it can still operate well only by relying on the current entertainment brokerage business.
Because, at present, the company's commission with artists is very high, and newcomers must hand over at least 50% of their income to the company at the initial stage. For some celebrities who are already famous, the commission is reduced to 20%~30%, for example, Liu Daqing, the company's number one celebrity, has a commission of only 20%. Liu Daqing has calculated an account, she opened her own company and raised a bunch of people, which is not as cost-effective as signing a contract with New Star Entertainment Company.
Of course, Liu Daqing also contributed most of the income of the new star entertainment company, after all, she has good looks and her acting skills are also very commendable, and she has already had a good reputation before. The salary of the movie was less than 200,000, and the company directly helped her refuse. The asking price of TV drama remuneration is also as high as 10,000 per episode, approaching the second-tier TV drama stars of Hong Kong TVB and Xingchen Channel. Such a sky-high price has certainly driven away a large number of potential collaborators, but the new entrepreneurship department has given a large number of advertising endorsement orders, so that Liu Daqing conservatively estimates that he can earn 3 million yuan a year by relying on advertising endorsements. And New Star Entertainment Company, conservatively estimated, can earn 600,000 commissions from Liu Daqing a year!
Basically, after joining the Nova Entertainment Company, Liu Daqing's worth skyrocketed by 20 times, becoming the most profitable actor among the actors who are still mixed in China.
Relying on Liu Daqing's income alone, he can attract a bunch of teenagers and girls, and like a moth to a fire, he sold himself cheaply to Nova Entertainment Company and became a trainee who signed a contract for ten years.
If you don't become popular during the ten years, then it is equivalent to a wasted life. However, Nova Entertainment is still very conscientious, and for some newcomers who can't see the results in a year or two, they will directly terminate the contract and persuade them to quit to avoid wasting each other's time and resources.
Of course, Liu Daqing was signed by Mr. Lin, even if the results were out, Xiao Chen did not dare to take credit, but had begun to learn to pat himself on the back, and told Mr. Lin about Liu Daqing's performance, in order to prove Mr. Lin's vision!
Xiao Chen's sycophant, Lin Qi felt a little funny, wasn't Liu Daqing obvious? He had already proved himself, "Burning the Old Summer Palace" was popular all over the country. If it weren't for the domestic or planned economy to the transition stage to the market economy, it would be difficult for the actor's worth to get too much room for improvement, otherwise, Liu Daqing may not be less valuable than a Hong Kong star.
Speaking of Cixi played in Liu Daqing's "Burning the Old Summer Palace", Lin Qi remembered the "Wu Zetian" she had filmed in history, in which Liu Daqing acted from eighteen to eighty, it can be said that it is the most classic one in different versions of "Wu Zetian".
No one has filmed yet, Lin Qi simply filmed first, for this kind of historical drama, it is still necessary to shoot more, so that it can also improve the quality of his company, after all, the most important thing now is word of mouth.
And for this kind of formal historical drama, Lin Qi's team has little experience, after all, the so-called historical dramas in Hong Kong are too small. Compared with the later films made in the mainland, it is like a historical film made by a turtle in the countryside.
If you want to talk about historical dramas, the level of domestic directors can, to a certain extent, reach the top in the world. I am afraid that this is where the cultural heritage of a big country lies, a large number of things that test the details of history, other countries have a low level of culture, belong to the nouveau riche, and it is difficult to find those cultural precipitations in the pile of old papers. But the most important thing in China is culture, and the people who study culture in this era are very low, so the drama can be made into a classic.
The venue is there, and he has built a lot of construction in the Humen Film and Television Base he built in Dongguan before, and is building the palace buildings of ancient dynasties. Not only do they have the scenes needed for Wang Fulin's "Three Kingdoms", but they also plan ahead and build buildings from other dynasties.
It is precisely because of this that Humen Film and Television Base still has a net loss of hundreds of millions every year. These capitals have been transformed into more and more large and magnificent ancient buildings. In the long run, there will definitely be no loss, imagine the future real estate prices, just know!
"Xiao Chen, I'll give you a task, you are now on a business trip to the capital to see if there is a director who has studied the official history, it would be better if he could bring a costume designer and stylist, the price is not a problem, the speed should be fast." "Lin Qi has always done whatever he wants, and let people do whatever he wants.
Constantly giving Xiao Chen tasks, it is also Lin Qi's curiosity, a little person, give him a certain golden finger, how far can he grow!
If the relationship between Lin Qi and Xiao Chen is a fantasy routine, the current Lin Qi is equivalent to an old man who keeps sending gold fingers to Xiao Chen.
Of course, the ratings of historical dramas may not be as high as silly white sweet or love and hatred, but it can represent the production level of a company, as long as this TV series can be produced well and successfully screened, I believe their reputation will not be worse than CCTV and Bayi Studios.
Xiao Chen didn't know Lin Qi's overall thoughts, but he was the boss, and Xiao Chen also understood why Lin Qi always let himself work more, and it was a challenging job. Because he is now the general manager of a company, but in fact, his ability and connections can't keep up. Therefore, Lin Qi sent him out to work more, and he also trained him. After all, relying on that bit of cleverness alone won't go far.
On the way to the airport, Xiao Chen was still a little puzzled, Mr. Lin simply asked Director Wang Fulin to forget it, that person had filmed "Dream of Red Mansions", he was not the kind of person who was difficult to invite, why did he have to find a new one?
But Xiao Chen naturally didn't know that Wang Fulin had visited Humen Film and Television Base and accepted Lin's total investment in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is much more important than "Wu Zetian"! Wang Fulin can't find time to shoot "Wu Zetian" in the short term!
If Xiao Chen later knew that he had gained a girlfriend because of his trip to the capital, he would definitely keep his mouth shut now, and he would be grateful to Lin Qi in his heart.
"Hello sir, this is my seat, and you are sitting in the middle. Xiao Chen was taking a plane for the first time, and because it was the first time, he wanted to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside from the window.
But before his ass was hot, a tall beauty came in, with her long straight black hair, looking mysterious and beautiful.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I'm a little airsick and I'm going to open the window and vomit later. Xiao Chen, who can't be dirty, found a reason that was as dirty as him, where could the windows on the plane be opened.
The beauty also sneered, but she didn't think that it was because Xiao Chen was in such an embarrassment when she took a plane for the first time, but thought that this man was too humorous and would make others happy in a way that embarrassed her, so her favorability towards Xiao Chen in her heart suddenly rose a notch.
"Do you live in Guangdong or Beijing?" The beauty took the initiative to open her mouth, but did not ask Xiao Chen's name, but first asked where she lived.
If ordinary people opened their mouths so recklessly, Xiao Chen would definitely ignore him, but the beauty in front of him somehow had a kind of magic that made people let go of all the defenses in their hearts.
"Guangdong, what about you who went to the capital on a business trip this time?" Xiao Chen answered the other party's question in a restrained manner, but he was as witty as he was, and he also countered the other party's army.
But as if she hadn't heard, the beautiful woman tidied up the blanket herself, put it over herself, and fell asleep.
Xiao Chen was a little confused now, what is the situation? Just now she took the initiative to chat with herself, but now she doesn't speak? Does she look down on Cantonese people? This ...... If you talk about Hong Kong people directly, will the little beauty look the other way?
No matter what Xiao Chen looked at the beauty, the beauty closed her eyes and didn't speak, looking like she was sleeping soundly.
Xiao Chen finally closed his eyes and fell asleep, because he didn't know what to do, and regretted not bringing two new copies from the new startup publishing company, so that he wouldn't be bored on the road.
