Wu Yuanfei, the boss of Sanshan Pictures, always feels that what has happened recently is a little inexplicable. Zhu Yu sent a fax without saying any hello, asking their company's brokerage department to give quotation criteria for Guan Shiyue's participation in several activities such as long-form advertising shooting, variety show single and series, and advertising endorsements.

In the industry, most of the time, no matter how big or small the actors, the quotations for participating in various activities have been floating in the circle. Ask any agent or producer or director at will, and they will tell you that this actor is expensive and that actor is cheap, and what kind of project is affordable. Generally, the budgets in the various PPTs that are passed around in the circle are made according to things that are half rumors and half speculation, and they don't really ask the brokerage company.

So, what is the quotation criterion? It is usually a document like this: what kind of activities to participate in, the time period occupied, the brand to cooperate, etc., how will such a price be considered, and what kind of formula will be used to calculate the basic quotation. Then, which types of projects do not need to be discussed, which types of projects have to be discussed only with those prerequisites, which ones can be floated at prices, and which are the main things to pay attention to...... For example, how many endorsement contracts are hung on the actors, what projects may cause conflicts, and so on. To do such a thing, it is necessary to test the all-round ability of the brokerage team of the brokerage company: business connection, grasp of the positioning of the brokerage object, sensitivity to the market, selection of development routes, and sorting out the legal and financial routes of various cooperation. Ordinary small brokerage companies, even for their leading actors, can't come up with such a quotation criterion. This thing is too professional. In addition, the general quotation guidelines will also indicate how long the quotation will be valid. This time may be a natural month, year, or it may be related to when the project participated by the actor or artist will be launched.

When a partner asks the agency for a quotation criteria, generally speaking, he means: I have a lot of interest and possibility to invite this actor, you send me an official document and I will see if there is any basis for cooperation. The quotation criteria given by brokerage companies are generally slightly higher than the actual market price, and the high scale itself is also a benchmark for the attitude of cooperation. If the usual price of an actor's drama is 10 million, and the quotation standard given to you by the brokerage company is 30 million, then there is no need to talk about it. The other party's meaning is: I'm afraid there is no way to cooperate this time, keep in touch, and talk about it next time. If you don't give back at all, then everyone understands what it means.

After exchanging quotation criteria, most of the people in charge of both sides will make a brief phone call to communicate what is going on. If you are really interested in cooperating, then the actor's agent will soon cooperate with the business preparations. Of course, the project may not be successful in the end, and this is okay, the two sides have exchanged contact information, and tested the three views and work attitudes of both parties through previous cooperation. Whether or not to continue to cooperate in the future is a good foundation.

Wu Yuanfei is 56 years old this year. The whole company knows that he treats Guan Shiyue as his daughter...... In fact, Guan Shiyue is the daughter of his old comrade-in-arms. An old comrade-in-arms saved his life, and he always wanted to reciprocate. However, the old comrade-in-arms died early, and after being infected with heavy soldiers, even his wife and Guan Shiyue's mother were overwhelmed and left with the only remaining softness in the family. At that time, I left this Guan Shiyue to study in junior high school, but I really had no living expenses, and there was no way to do it, so I thought about the phone number left by my father's old comrades-in-arms.

Then, Wu Yuanfei became Guan Shiyue's guardian. He didn't know anything else, so he took Guan Shiyue all the way to learn art and performance. Guan Shiyue muttered all the way that she didn't like these at all, and kept saying that it was better to go to a regular school and go to the college entrance examination to enter the university, but she couldn't resist Wu Yuanfei, so she had to listen to adults all the way. When she participated in a TV series for the first time, she was swiping her mobile phone and swiping Moments and Weibo while others were waiting, and she was the only one who went with a collection of math study questions. Although Guan Shiyue still went to Beiying later, in fact, in terms of college entrance examination results, it was okay to go to Beijing Normal University. Until now, although Guan Shiyue has accepted the reality that she is already a star, she is still very studious...... Basically, that's a good thing.

Of course, there are a lot of people who covet Guan Shiyue, but this is not Wu Yuanfei. Sanshan Pictures is indeed not a top big company in the industry, but it can't stand up to many comrades-in-arms, and it is tough enough in other aspects. can't get those romance dramas and the like, it's no problem to be the main theme war movie and spy war movie, Wu Yuanfei is from the army's propaganda system, and he is a variety of old leaders and old comrades-in-arms. Then, based on this kind of project, we will exchange resources with other companies. Sanshan Pictures is now also a well-known large-scale enterprise in the circle, and some sub-categories are definitely the first.

It is precisely because of these developments that Wu Yuanfei has really heard a lot of things about Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu set up a publishing company in Hong Kong, and then hit it off with Yue Qingyan, the little author, and soon made two movies. The artists under the command of Sanshan Pictures also starred.

This Zhu Yu is not a simple person, he does things vigorously, but he has always been very good to friends and partners. There is a good reputation in the circle. Although she operates in Hong Kong, everyone seems to know what the situation is, and the mainland regards Zhu Yu as its own.

Looking at the head of the Red Horse Publishing Company on the fax, Wu Yuanfei also smiled a little bitterly. Do you have time to toss two movies, and you're still doing something that seems to be very troublesome, so don't you register a new company when you take it?

Wu Yuanfei asked his secretary: "Mr. Zhu has no other communication, so he sent a fax?"

The secretary said a little embarrassed: "Now everyone doesn't use it much, the fax was more than two days ago, and it was placed there, and no one saw it this morning, so they sent it to me directly." Ms. Kwan has always been your own business. ”

"You ask the brokerage department to come up with a quote criterion, and the actual price is quoted to you. Then, ask Shiyue's assistant to come over once in the afternoon. This is the thing...... You see, you've dragged on for two days, and I'm embarrassed on my side. Zhu Yu's side, I don't know what the situation is, give me this set. ”

The secretary hurriedly said: "Mr. Wu, didn't you wait for Miss Guan to go to afternoon tea?" Miss Guan said that she would take you together to rest and adjust, but she couldn't release her pigeons anymore. ”

"Alas, well. Then I'll go and talk to her myself in the afternoon. Wu Yuanfei thought for a while and said, "Your quotation criteria will be sent within an hour." Then I called Zhu Yu and said it myself. ”

When Wu Yuan flew to two o'clock in the afternoon, on the way to afternoon tea with Guan Shiyue, he called Zhu Yu in the car.

"Mr. Zhu, I'm Wu Yuanfei. ”

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yu was a little surprised: "Alas, Mr. Wu, why did you call me personally?"

"I'm here to apologize. The fax you sent was just seen this morning. Nowadays, almost no one uses faxes, ignoring them. Sorry for not delaying you, right?"

Zhu Yu hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, the office just now transferred the quotation guidelines to me." I'm still at the airport, I've just landed for a while, and I haven't had time to see it yet. ”

"Well, where are you going?"

"Shanghai...... Actually, I'm not embarrassed. I was supposed to ask Mr. Ge to bring you a message, but Mr. Ge seems to be in a closed state again now, and no one can be found. I said it all again, and it was not easy to explain it to my friends, so I rashly sent a fax to your company. I guess, we're all old-school people, and you should be able to understand that. ”

"Shanghai?" Wu Yuanfei looked at the time: "I will go to Shanghai for a meeting the day after tomorrow." Will you still be there then?"

For these business people, the one-day or two-day window is already tight. It's really hard to say whether it's touched or not.

"That's for the best. I'm also asking about this for my close partners, so how about we meet together?"

"Who's going to work for you?"

Yue Qingyan said. The ...... of Silver Pages Culture Well, you don't necessarily know, it's the one who wrote "Yinying". ”

"I know. I also read "Yinying", but I didn't join the readers' club. Wu Yuanfei smiled: "Okay, I know." Meet and talk when the time comes. I took Shiyue with me, and she will live in Shanghai in addition to filming in the future. Just introduce it to a local friend. ”

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed. This seems to be a promising thing. Zhu Yu knows that he is not an outsider, but it is really hard to say to what extent Wu Yuanfei knows himself and whether he is willing to give this face. If there is Mr. Ge to pull the strings, it is easy to say, but the guy who saw the head and the end of the dragon is estimated to have disappeared for a while because of some project.

Fortunately, it seems that Wu Yuanfei gave this face, although he was short in a few words, he had already explained the problem clearly, and his attitude was also positive and cordial. It seems that Wu Yuanfei has known Zhu Yu for a long time.

All kinds of communication in the circle, grasping various subtle scales, and perceiving other people's attitudes, positions, and positioning towards people are really a very complex and important science.

As for Guan Shiyue's permanent residence in Shanghai after that, this is also interesting information. Guan Shiyue is basically Wu Yuanfei's daughter, and she gets along well with Wu Yuanfei's biological daughter. However, there are also a lot of rumors in the circle, saying that Guan Shiyue may inherit Sanshan Pictures in the future, shift from an artist to management, and challenge the inheritance of Wu Yuanfei's daughter. Guan Shiyue estimated that she was also too annoying, so she simply stayed away. The relationship is good, anyway, it is convenient to travel between Beijing and Shanghai now, everyone is in the circle, and they are not afraid of less contact and communication. But in this way, her attitude and position make it clear: except for acting-related things, she will not mix in any business direction related to Sanshan Pictures.

And such a statement, at least for the project "The Birth of a Story", is also beneficial. Although Guan Shiyue has starred in many good works along the way, she is basically the main investment, participation or business cooperation of Sanshan Pictures itself, in fact, there is no other business connection in the pure brokerage business, and there is no one.

It is not nonsense to say in the circle that Guan Shiyue's star coffee position was completely smashed by Sanshan Pictures with money. But people are happy, with this friendship and this resource, those who say strange things in the circle are just sour grapes. And Guan Shiyue is leaving the core of Sanshan Pictures, and it is not a good thing to break away from a period of business.

Now, while waiting for the luggage at the turntable, Zhu Yu was thinking about how to talk to Yue Qingyan about this matter later.
