Chapter 307: It's Not Easy
Wang Yulan's life is very comfortable.
More than five years ago, he accepted Zhao Zhenghao's request to resign from the seemingly more promising "Nine Star Entertainment", followed by the notoriety and popularity fell to the bottom, no matter who looks at it, Zhao Zhenghao has no bright future, starting from scratch, may be the most correct decision she has made in her life.
She actually didn't have the courage to break the cauldron at that time, and her original plan was to give herself a year, and also to Zhao Zhenghao a year.
If "Zhenghao Studio" hadn't improved in that year, she wouldn't have hanged herself on this crooked neck tree.
She is still young anyway, how to say that she is also a high-achieving student from the National Academy of Drama, even if she wastes a year in the "Zhenghao Studio", she does not worry about finding a job and having no food.
However, in order to reduce resistance, she resigned and changed jobs, without telling her family, and played a "cut first and then play".
I never thought that the previous joking "Follow Brother Hao to the World" would open up the situation for "Zhenghao Studio", and then the album of "No Land for Self-Respect", which has been regarded as a classic in the Dragon Kingdom rock circle, began to reverse Zhao Zhenghao's star journey.
Later, although he encountered the turmoil of Dong Peihan's false accusation, it unexpectedly helped Zhao Zhenghao to appear on the stage of the Grammy Awards, a song "Billie Jean" broke the earth, and "Space Step" swept the world.
In the latter matter, as long as you know a little about Zhao Zhenghao's salted fish turning experience, they are all like a treasure.
was discriminated against at the Grammy Awards, gave up angrily, and then released the only album "Thtiller" in the world music industry with physical CD sales of more than 100 million so far, and won dozens of music trophies with this album, and even the Grammy Awards had to bow to him, take the initiative to make peace, and give him the treatment he deserves.
In just two years, Zhao Zhenghao has completed the gorgeous transformation from an outdated idol singer to a world-renowned "God of Songs"!
During this period, Wang Yulan only did a good job as Zhao Zhenghao's logistics manager, so that he could put all his energy on music, and the work was not too difficult.
But the harvest is beyond imagination!
When "Zhenghao Studio" was founded, the registered capital was only 1 million, and even if Wang Yulan accounted for 10% of the studio's shares, her net worth was only 100,000 yuan.
Zhao Zhenghao, whose reputation was even more unbearable, was almost swept away by "Nine Star Entertainment", in the entertainment circle of Longguo at that time, he was just a piece of stinky shit, and others walked around when they saw it, Wang Yulan, as his partner and agent, naturally became a laughing stock in the entertainment industry.
But just half a year later, a "Follow Brother Hao to the World" and a "No Land to Be Self-Contained" made the assets of "Zhenghao Studio" skyrocket dozens of times!
The copyright of the first season of "Follow Brother Hao to the World" sold 20 million, and the album "No Place for Self-Respect" has brought hundreds of millions of income to "Zhenghao Studio" after three months of release!
The assets of "Zhenghao Studio" exceeded 100 million, and Wang Yulan relied on that 10% of the dry shares, and her net worth went from penniless to 10 million!
In the past five years, just relying on the dividends of the 10% dry shares, Wang Yulan has received hundreds of millions of dollars and has become a wealthy class!
What made Wang Yulan even more unbelievable was the increase in prestige.
Zhao Zhenghao was crowned the "God of Song", as his partner and agent, Wang Yulan jumped to become a big man standing at the top of the pyramid in the music circle of the Dragon Kingdom and even the world music circle, and everyone must be called "Sister Lan".
When Zhao Zhenghao announced the establishment of the "Music Teaching Program" Foundation, Wang Yulan actively responded, originally wanted to donate the dividend rights directly to the foundation, but under Zhao Zhenghao's persuasion, he finally left 1% directly.
is this 1% dividend right, in the upcoming 2017, Wang Yulan can also get tens of millions of huge dividends.
Wang Yulan was originally just a rookie who had just stepped out of campus and entered the workplace, and her first job was just a small assistant, but in just a few years, she became a giant company with billions of assets, and Wang Yulan felt a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, the assets of "Zhenghao Studio" have grown amazingly, but the intensity and difficulty of work have not grown so fast.
In the first two years, "Zhenghao Studio" was all revolving around Zhao Zhenghao, and Zhao Zhenghao's work scope at that time was relatively single and narrow, limited to the music circle.
And because of Zhao Zhenghao's insistence on "not accepting commercial performances", the work of the studio is simpler, as long as you do a good job in logistics services and the distribution of the album when it is released.
Later, although Zhao Zhenghao was idle and had nothing to do, he made a "heroic" band, but the business of the work did not increase much, and there were only a dozen staff members in the third year of the establishment of the studio.
It wasn't until Zhao Zhenghao's first world tour "Dangerous Journey" began that the studio's business suddenly increased, and after that, Zhao Zhenghao crossed over to make films, and the studio's business scope further expanded, and it really became a big company.
Now, there are 76 employees in "Zhenghao Studio", and the studio business department is divided into three, namely the music department, the film department, the entertainment department, plus the brokerage department, the personnel department, the finance department, the logistics department and other functional departments, the company's structure has been quite complete.
Zhao Zhenghao, the major shareholder and boss, does not care about the specific affairs of the studio, and Wang Yulan has to assume the responsibility of managing the studio.
Fortunately, her ability to resist pressure is good, and her learning ability is also quite strong, and she has completed her work relatively well.
As for her work, is it equivalent to the reputation she has gained and the dividends she has received?
As long as Zhao Zhenghao says it's worth it, it's worth it!
When Wang Yulan and Zhao Zhenghao met in Weiwei, to a certain extent, they can be regarded as entrepreneurial partners who share hardships and hardships, Zhao Zhenghao has always trusted her, and Wang Yulan has not failed to live up to his trust, the combination of the two has now become a good story in the entertainment circle of the Dragon Kingdom.
When Zhao Zhenghao first crossed over, although he had the double blessing of the "super idol system" and the memories of his previous life, he couldn't make a forest alone, and it was not so easy for him to succeed on his own.
In the past few years, Wang Yulan has given him help, which is not as insignificant as the outside world imagines, if Wang Yulan is not conscientious in the back to help him with chores, Zhao Zhenghao cannot put all his energy on the development of his career.
Zhao Zhenghao's predecessor didn't learn anything, and in his previous life, he was just a floating little dick, without any experience in managing the studio, without Wang Yulan's help in an orderly manner, the development of "Zhenghao Studio" would not have been so smooth.
Therefore, Zhao Zhenghao thinks that Wang Yulan's efforts are worthy of her harvest!
After several years of self-improvement, Wang Yulan's life plan has undergone some changes, and her dream is no longer to become an international director, but more practical, and she wants to manage "Zhenghao Studio" well!
took the initiative to ask Zhao Zhenghao to serve as the director of "Infernal Affairs 2", just to realize a dream and live the addiction of being a film director, I didn't plan to really apply what I had learned, let go of everything in the studio, and turn to become a real director.
One reason why there is such a change has to be mentioned is that Zhao Zhenghao has been hit.
At the beginning, when Zhao Zhenghao said "I want to make a movie" and had to write, direct and act by himself, Wang Yulan was deeply skeptical, thinking that Zhao Zhenghao was completely funny and fooling around!
However, after the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West" was completed one after another, Wang Yulan accepted the fact that "there really is a creature like genius in this world".
Speaking of which, Wang Yulan is a high-achieving student who graduated from the directing department of the National Academy of Drama, and she thinks that her basic skills are solid, while Zhao Zhenghao just went to the Beijing Film Academy for a few months, and her learning is not systematic at all, and she can't learn some real skills.
Before filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", although he personally produced several MVs, including "Thriller", which created a precedent for "music videos", Wang Yulan did not believe that he could be qualified for the position of film director.
However, Zhao Zhenghao later proved with facts that his director did a good job.
At least it's stronger than Wang Yulan, who was born in a professional class.
Wang Yulan herself admitted that if she was allowed to serve as the director of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West", it was very likely that she would not be able to reach Zhao Zhenghao's level.
Not to mention that Zhao Zhenghao then made "Infernal Affairs", a classic that is destined to go down in the history of Dragon Kingdom films!
And now, with "Infernal Affairs", he won the "Best Director" award of the Golden Sheep Awards, and directly promoted to the ranks of the top directors of the Dragon Kingdom.
Wang Yulan, even if she strictly follows the script compiled by Zhao Zhenghao, she will directly ask Zhao Zhenghao for advice if she is not sure, and the production level of "Infernal Affairs 2", she herself has to admit that it is a grade worse than "Infernal Affairs".
This is the embodiment of the real gap between the levels of the two people, which is a fact and irrefutable.
I didn't get started in person before, but I can secretly think about it, "If I change it, I can do it", and now after directing "Infernal Affairs 2", Wang Yulan recognized the gap and faced the facts.
After Zhao Zhenghao watched the finished film of "Infernal Affairs 2", he still recognized the quality of the film, and secretly compared it with the original in his heart, thinking that there was no distinction between Zhong and Bo.
Wang Yulan knew that the reason for such a result was that her ability only accounted for three points of credit, and the other seven points of credit was due to the script provided by Zhao Zhenghao, the shooting outline, the guidance in the middle, and the suggestions put forward during post-production.
If Wang Yulan is allowed to shoot a movie completely on her own, the quality of the finished film will be at least two grades worse than "Infernal Affairs 2".
Although she is a high-achieving student from a professional class, she is still a long way from a "genius".
After completing the post-production of "Infernal Affairs 2", Wang Yulan completely retracted and devoted all her energy to the affairs of the studio.
Although at the suggestion of Zhao Zhenghao, a full-time deputy general manager was hired to assist her in handling the overall affairs of the studio, and a cheque book was wielded, and several senior middle-level managers were poached, coupled with the reserve talents cultivated by the studio itself, "Zhenghao Studio" can now be said to be strong.
However, in the case of Zhao Zhenghao, the major shareholder and boss, there are still many things that need to be handled by Wang Yulan, a partner.
At present, there are questions about the release schedule of "Infernal Affairs 2", whether the "Legendary" World Tour itinerary will be extended and increased, the production of Feng Xiaojing's solo album, the production of Yu Yabin's solo album, and the production of the new album of the "Heroic" band, etc., which require her to take ideas.
The distribution rights of "Infernal Affairs 2" are still handed over to Penguin Pictures, which is happy to work with, and the schedule is set for the Spring Festival in 2018!
Although "Infernal Affairs 2" is not a work directed and starred by Zhao Zhenghao himself, the script was created by him, and he also made a cameo appearance in the movie, coupled with the blessing of Wang Bangmin, Wu Hai, Liu Yiqing and other big names, as well as the aftermath of the previous work, the audience's expectations are not low.
Although the competition for the Spring Festival stalls is fierce, Penguin Pictures has confidence in it!
Because Zhao Zhenghao did not accept the rules of commercial performances, fans had the opportunity to get close to him, and only his concert remained.
It has been almost a year and a half since the start of the "Legendary" World Tour, and now only the fourth stage of the original four stages is left, the itinerary on the North American continent.
Looking back, more than a year has passed since the first stage in the Dragon Kingdom, and Zhao Zhenghao's fans and fans strongly demanded that the itinerary of the "legendary" World Tour be extended and another stage added to meet the requirements of the Dragon Country fans.
Wang Yulan had consulted Zhao Zhenghao on this issue before, and Zhao Zhenghao was busy promoting "Infernal Affairs" at the time, so he did not comment on it or not, and left it for later discussion.
Now, the fourth phase of the "Legendary" World Tour is about to begin, and if the itinerary is to be extended, it is time to finalize and start preparations.
After Feng Xiaojing signed a contract with "Zhenghao Studio", after discussing with Zhao Zhenghao, he determined the focus of his future career development and transferred to the film and television industry, but the foundation of the music industry cannot be completely abandoned, and the whole album is too lazy to produce, at least make an EP, or prepare a few singles, to consolidate the status of a first-line singer.
Her new songs, songwriting and songwriting, naturally Zhao Zhenghao is fully responsible, which is something that Zhao Zhenghao has promised her a long time ago.
Although Yu Yabin is now wholeheartedly accompanying Diandian, he has no intention of completely quitting the entertainment industry, his original album has been in preparation, and now he has written a few songs, and he can find time to record them.
Yu Yabin is not very interested in acting, and the focus of his future career is still on music, wanting to copy Min Lan's line.
Her creative talent is not as high as Min Lan, and the quality of the songs she creates, after Zhao Zhenghao and Yan Yu heard it, they only gave a "medium" evaluation, which can be produced and released, but it is not easy to become popular.
