Chapter 145: People Hungry for Opportunities
"Huang Xiaoming, I haven't heard of this star, why are you signing him if you're not a famous person?" asked Lao Niu on the other end of the phone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Zhao Zejun watched the commercial, he naturally thought of returning Zhu San.
Several of the leading actors in this film are not very noteworthy, even if they become popular later, they are only limited, but a supporting role will shine in China in the next ten years, and they will be absolutely first-line popular stars.
Huang Xiaoming who plays Xiao Jian.
I don't care about him for his acting style or something, but he will definitely be popular, and that's fine. Last year, he played the young Liu Che in the first part of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, Huang Xiaoming has already shown his talents, but he has not yet reached the level of being popular on the first line, otherwise he would not have been able to play a supporting role in Huanzhu Sanli.
Starting from the second part of the Son of Heaven in 04, Huang Xiaoming starred and began to become popular, and since then, the star journey of this No. 1 student has been climbing like a rocket, and he has successively starred in a series of well-known hot dramas such as the Condor Heroes and the new Shanghai Beach, standing firmly in the ranks of domestic super-first-line male stars.
It's a star, not an artist.
Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Ming is still a dead performer, he signed an advertising contract for a few years, and in the next few years, as he became popular all the way, becoming more and more popular, no matter what products he made, there was no shortage of first-line spokespersons.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ming really belongs to the type of jack-of-all-trades, from the physical to the Internet, eating, drinking and having fun, except for female products, it seems that there are really no products that he is not suitable for endorsement.
"I have friends who are in the film and television industry, and I am very optimistic about this person, I heard that he has made two or three films at the same time this year, and there will be a costume drama next year, with a bright future, I really have no money, otherwise I would have signed it. In this way, I will pay some money, and I will sign it with Changsheng Pharmaceutical. If he can't catch fire in two years, I'll subsidize it if he loses money, okay?" Zhao Zejun said.
"Two years from now, listen to what you mean, how many years are you going to sign?"
"At least five years, he will have a costume drama next year, even if he becomes popular, it will be next year. According to the worst development, even if there are no good works after that, it will be okay to be popular for a few years. Zhao Zejun said.
"Then do you want Bao Zhiling to find him an endorsement?
"No, he's well-known now, and when he's really popular, it's not too late to release a new advertisement. ”
"Okay, I'll call someone to do it. Also, in the future, you don't have to ask me for everything, aren't you the vice president yourself, sign a little bit of about the star, and make your own decisions. ”
"I don't want to use all the gatherings to learn more from you. Zhao Zejun said with a smile.
", if you don't want to pay, you say you don't want to pay. Niu Jun told me, you did a good job of that set last time, but if I come, there is no need for people to know the relationship between Deyuan and you in the end. Niu Shengli said casually.
Niu Shengli stands at his height to consider the problem, Zhao Zejun has Zhao Zejun's idea, after the starting point of the acquisition, the online novel market will become bigger, which will inevitably attract the coveting of capital.
However, Lao Niu is right, Changsheng Pharmaceutical should indeed have a manager.
For Lao Niu, Changsheng Pharmaceutical is an idle chess, an innocuous small enterprise, and Zhao Zejun's own main business is not on it, which directly leads to two major shareholders who have the right to speak, and they are not directly managed at ordinary times, but Changsheng Pharmaceutical has no actual principal, so that trivial matters have to be solved by the two of them.
In most cases, it often becomes a sentence from Lao Niu, and the actual operation is still Zhao Zejun.
I have to discuss with Lao Niu, if Deyuan Group does not come out, it will go through headhunting, and dig a professional manager to come over.
As soon as he said it, Lao Niu really said again, 'You look at it, just find someone to meet me', and threw the ball to Zhao Zejun.
Come on, let's get Xiao Ming's contract done first.
There are many intersecting fields in the entertainment industry and the literary circle, and through friends from the publishing house, I found out about Huang Xiaoming's whereabouts: he is filming in Hengdian.
Hengdian Film and Television City, the largest film and television base in China, has thousands of episodes of TV dramas and tens of thousands of minutes of movies every year, all of which are filmed here. Relying on the film and television industry, the entire Hengdian has formed its own unique ecosystem, with all kinds of crew cars everywhere on the road, and extras with scripts and even costumes in their hands hurrying to the scene, but more of them are still confused on the side of the road, and even Hengdian Drift who can't find a dead body character, and in the seemingly ordinary restaurants on both sides of the street, there may be a well-known director or star eating.
The cruiser drove down the road, less than a kilometer, and on several occasions it was mistaken for the crew's car, and as soon as it slowed down a little, someone would come up and ask, 'Do you want to perform in a group', and stuff business cards into the cracks in the windows.
The business card is very informal, and a small piece of paper is almost full of content: graduated from this college and that major, what are your specialties, what plays have you participated in, how much does it cost, and how much contact information ...... There is a business card on the back with three big characters written in a red pen: No money.
Zhao Zejun stacked these business cards together, and when the car drove into the set, those people couldn't see it, he found a trash can and threw it away.
When he saw Xiao Ming, he was wearing a black dragon robe, carrying a long sword at his waist, pointing at the country. It seems that he is filming the second part of the Son of Heaven.
I had contacted his agent before, and Zhao Zejun was waiting not far away with Junzi.
"I went, and finally saw Chen Zhiming alive...... and Ning Jing...... "Zhao Zejun is also lucky, today the three leading actors gathered, when Chen Zhiming is not filming, he takes this straw hat and reads the script in a cool corner, and occasionally stands up and takes the initiative to talk to the director about the script, Ning Jing has a lively personality, and he is always surrounded by many actors and actresses who have no drama, and often bursts into a very hearty laugh.
Zhao Zejun was able to enter the set, but he didn't want to disturb the shooting, so he moved a small bench with Junzi and watched from afar.
From more than two o'clock in the afternoon to half past nine in the evening, Xiao Ming, accompanied by his agent, took the initiative to come over to say hello.
"Hello Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry, Teacher Chen and Teacher Ning are here today, and a few major scenes are going to be filmed, so you have to wait for a long time!" Xiao Ming looked tired, but his good attitude surprised Zhao Zejun.
"It's okay, it's okay, or let's talk tomorrow?" Zhao Zejun looked at his agent.
"It's so embarrassing to make you wait a day, just today. And tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, Xiao Ming still has a play, and it is not easy to delay, let's insist on it. The agent glanced at Xiao Ming with an inquiring look.
"I don't have a problem, Mr. Zhao's time is precious, and I can't let you wait another day. Xiao Ming immediately said.
The first time he came into contact with the literary circle, Zhao Zejun deeply felt the bitterness behind these stars, especially in the face of capital, that kind of caution and almost stuttering, which made people feel that this was not a star at all, but a person who was about to starve to death, seeing a piece of meat.
Opportunities, no matter how small they are, they are reluctant to let go.
It can be said that they are here to make money and live a better life than others, so they deserve it.
But from another perspective, this is also a group of people who are struggling for their dreams.
Whether it is the group performance that can't even find the dead bodies on the street outside, or the classmate Xiao Ming in front of him, who has been acting all day and has to drink with customers for an advertising contract, even if he was later criticized for not being able to act at all, Zhao Zejun felt that there was no reason to despise them.
I found a restaurant with a good grade, and I ate and chatted at the wine table.
The specific business is handled by the broker, and Xiao Ming's student has only one task: toasting. There is no glamorous big star in front of people at all, and it looks no different from a small boss who asks officials to do things.
The conversation went very smoothly, Zhao Zejun signed a five-year advertising contract with Xiao Ming at a low price that he didn't expect, and shot up to three advertisements a year, each advertisement can have two days to cooperate with the publicity, and the cost will increase by 15% year by year from the second year.
Sending Xiao Ming, who was walking in a hurry, into the nanny car, Zhao Zejun took out a cigarette and handed it to Junzi, and the two of them walked aimlessly on Hengdian Street at night.
In Hengdian at night, you can occasionally see some girls dressed up in sexy clothes on the street, and they won't take the initiative to ask when they see people passing by, but Zhao Zejun knows that if he hooks his fingers at them, whether it is a group performance or something else, these girls will come over without hesitation.
There was a burst of singing, and not far from the roadside, a girl with dyed yellow hair and dressed as an urban-rural junction sat under the dim street lamp, playing and singing about Chen Baiqiang's life.
At her feet, there was an open case of guitars, which were littered with bills of various denominations.
"How can I rest from the cold and warm, how many autumns have I looked back, I have searched all over but lost, and I have not looked forward to it, but I have it in my hand......"
Junzi stopped and listened to a few words, took out a hundred yuan, and put it in the guitar case next to the girl.
The girl probably rarely received large denominations of cash, and raised her head to look at Junzi in some surprise, and after seeing Zhao Zejun and Junzi's dress, she hurriedly put down her guitar, took out something that looked like a business card from the pocket of her torn jeans, spoke Mandarin with an accent, and said: "Two bosses, I am a scholar of popular singing, graduated from Jingxiang Academy of Fine Arts, and I can sing the theme song of film and television commercials." There's my phone number on it. ”
Junzi hesitated, nodded, took the handwritten business card, carefully put it in his purse, and then continued to walk forward with Zhao Zejun.
"Big brother, remember to call me!" the girl shouted at the backs of the two.
Back in the living room, Zhao Zejun asked Junzi: "What's the matter, you fell in love?"
Jun Zihan shook his head with a smile and said, "I just think it's not easy, she has been sitting there all her life, and probably no one is looking for her to sing." Accept her a business card and give her hope. Brother, you lost your business card during the day, didn't you do it in front of those people? ”
Zhao Zejun looked at Junzi and nodded, this year's entrepreneurial experience has made everyone grow a lot, including himself.
