The artist economy has only a history of more than ten years in the mainland, and the real legalization of the profession of "broker" was the promulgation of the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations on the Administration of Commercial Performances" issued by the Ministry of Truth on October 1, 02.

In the 90s, a merchant invited an artist to perform, but Wang Jinghua, who was an agent, also followed, which made the merchant very annoyed: "Why did you bring someone here, and you don't need money for the ticket?" ”

Wang Jinghua is a legend in the Chinese entertainment industry, and at this point, even Chen Baoguo, who is an "old fritter", has to admit that without her, perhaps the definition of "economic person" in the mainland entertainment industry will be a few years later.

The broker is the general trend, and there will be no variables because of whether a person exists or does not do, just like human beings will evolve from primitive clans to feudal society, which is an inevitable process, and does not transfer by the will of any single individual.

In the West, the history of agents can be traced back half a century ago, and large economic companies led by CAA, WMA and ICM have almost recruited more than 85% of artists.

At present, the mainland, Hong Kong, and Baodao have not yet formed a mature entertainment brokerage company operation model, and there is still a long way to go in the localization of the agent profession.

On this road, Wang Jinghua is a pioneer, and the most widely rumored thing is that she takes meticulous care of artists when she gets along with them, almost playing the role of "nanny".

It is not known where these rumors came from, but it is certain that it is impossible to achieve her current fame by relying only on the "nanny economy", and most people are still pursuing real, tangible and tangible interests, without interests, and the rest are no different from empty checks.

Although there is not much communication with Wang Jinghua, Lu Yan can understand from her words that she looks at problems very sharply and has a clear plan and clear ideas for the development path of artists.

The exchange between Wang Jinghua and Lu Yan began at lunch.

"Your lunch box is very rich, with meat and eggs."

"It's just special care, you look at the other people who queue up to receive food, it's good to be able to eat hot and peaceful."

"It's normal, how can there be absolute fairness, if you want to get more, you have to learn to pay first, just like you, do you think you are smooth sailing, definitely not, the same as eating, it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step."

From beginning to end, the two did not mention the details of the contract and future plans, Lu Yan needed to understand her views and attitudes towards the artist economy, and Wang Jinghua needed to understand his thoughts.

Wang Jinghua was successful, she was the first person to eat crabs, and with her consistent attitude, she has accumulated today's huge prestige and unshakable status.

But if you evaluate it from the perspective of pure business management, she is a failure, her economic ideas and methods are more and more contrary to the thriving entertainment industry, some people say that she is outdated, but it is undeniable that she has become popular with batches of people, and has also brought the most tangible benefits to its artists.

Although Chen Daoming is the middleman, signing or not signing is not achieved overnight, just like marriage, it is a major event that is closely related to the future or even a lifetime, in the face of this kind of major event, Lu Yan needs time to consider, and Wang Jinghua also needs to weigh the costs and benefits.

Wang Jinghua is the vice president of Huayi Brothers, and also the boss of Huayi Taihe, Lu Yan has to film in the afternoon, and the real contact between the two is only half an hour, and the brief exchange is also very general, almost not touching the deep content.

Outside the set, Lu Yan looked at the departing Jeep, with an inexplicable look on his face, he admired Wang Jinghua very much, just like Zhang Jizhong, he has always believed that if he can reach a height that others cannot reach in a certain field, he must have a unique vision and wisdom that others can't match.

Moving in a jeep

Wang Jinghua drove the car and asked, "How is his acting skills?" Is there a value in cultivating it with great effort? ”

She was already ready to sign Lu Yan, and she didn't even consider his choice, after a brief contact, she had this confidence.

Chen Daoming closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and when he heard her words, he waited for a while before saying, "Didn't you see it yourself, and asked me what I was doing?" ”

Wang Jinghua thought about it, she didn't understand these things after all, and said her opinion: "It's very ordinary, it's too much worse than what I imagined before I came, but it's not bad in other aspects, I asked people to inquire about it for a while, he didn't have a good relationship with Zhang Zien, but according to what I saw today, it doesn't match the rumors, and he is very good at interpersonal relationships." ”

Chen Daoming sneered and said: "You can't always measure everyone with the eyes of most people, tell you something, Chen Baoguo has been talking about this apprentice wherever he goes these days, and he can't do it, he has to take me to watch Lu Yan's drama two days ago, then again, it's really enviable, if I can have such an apprentice, I'm also happy." ”

Wang Jinghua slowed down a little and asked, "You mean, his acting skills are very good?" ”

"It's not just good," he sighed, but he didn't explain much, no matter how much a layman said to a cow, he was playing the piano to the cow.

........

Seeing that Lu Yan came back from outside, Chen Baoguo beckoned to him, and did not shy away from Zhao Wei and Wang Gang next to him, and asked, "How was the talk?" ”

Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "In one sentence, it's better to be famous than to meet." ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Zhao Wei also looked over, she did not sign a contract with an economic company, and she was also very curious about Wang Jinghua, a predator in the circle of economic people.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Very careful, the desire to control is not too strong, what impresses me the most is that she is extremely firm in her own ideas, almost to the point of unswerving." ”

Wang Gang wrapped his coat and said, "This is natural, if you are not firm enough, you will not be able to achieve the name of "Sister Hua". ”

Although Wang Gang's performance in "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" always makes people laugh, in reality, he is a very strict person, and after coming to the crew for a few days, Lu Yan almost never saw him laugh.

Zhao Wei tilted his head and said: "That's not necessarily, her way of doing things is very inconsistent with the current popular economic concept." ”

Chen Baoguo can be said to have witnessed how Wang Jinghua came from a "leather bag company" with only one commander of the light pole to today, hesitated for two seconds, and said: "Who is right about this, just like "Blood Romance", I'm afraid no one would have thought that it would be so popular at the beginning. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Gang mentioned it and said: "I read the newspaper this morning, and it was reported that the ratings were 15, which is a great achievement. ”

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, don't lift me up, compared to the drama of a few of you, I'm really far behind." ”

"If you have an idea, I'll call you next time you film, but let's talk about it first, I can't afford the salary" Wang Gang said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Lu Yan's salary in "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is 3,000, but with his current popularity, it is normal to increase it by ten times, and if you want to rise again, it is basically impossible to win without one or two awards with high gold content.

Lu Yan only thought he was joking, and said, "Then don't forget me next time."

Chen Baoguo said with a smile: "What are you worried about money, I see that Wang Jinghua is determined to get when she leaves, this time you can release her blood and ask for a signing fee of eight million." ”

Lu Yan opened his mouth, the number Chen Baoguo said was so shocking that it gave him a feeling of being boundless, and it took a long time before he said, "You're not joking with me, are you?" ”

Chen Baoguo snorted and said: "This is still what I said conservatively, if you are like the Tang people who come to a contract for seventy or eighty years at every turn, thirty or forty million is not too much." ”

Seeing Wang Gang and Zhao Wei next to him who were not surprised at all, Lu Yan was really a little convinced, and his eyes couldn't help but light up: "Really? ”

"Hey, what am I talking about, this kid is open when he sees money" Chen Baoguo slapped his thigh, laughed and said, Wang Gang and Zhao Wei also laughed, but they were not as unscrupulous as Chen Baoguo's laughter, compared with Chen Baoguo, they were outsiders after all.

Lu Yan also regarded Chen Baoguo's words as a joke, millions or even tens of millions of wealth, in his previous cognition, was just a simple combination of numbers with a few zeros added to the string of one, as for the concept that was too clear, he didn't have a clearer understanding.

Just like talking about a house in the capital, he knows that a three-bedroom apartment costs one or two million, and a villa costs seven or eight million or even tens of millions, but these are too far away from him, so far away that he feels unreal, he knows that he is popular, but except for the media around the set and one phone call after another, he can't really understand how popular he is.

What really made him sure of this was the arrival of Li Lifei, the director of Hairun's artist economy department.

Li Lifei is very short, the two stand side by side only to his shoulder, short hair, chubby, wearing a pair of round-framed black glasses, two deep laugh lines printed on both sides of his nose, looking very kind.

Perhaps knowing the contact between Wang Jinghua and Lu Yan, Li Lifei can almost be said to be straight to the point, and after introducing himself, he almost shook out their positioning and future development route for Lu Yan, and at the same time gave Lu Yan a very sincere feeling of heart.

Lu Yan didn't interrupt him, but sat on the side and listened patiently, he had hardly thought about development and planning before, Li Lifei was a professional in this area, and it was always right to listen to his suggestions.

At the end of the day, Li Lifei threw out a huge temptation, a signing fee of 15 million.

For Lu Yan, this was an extremely ridiculous feeling, just when he was still struggling with a few yuan for a taxi every day, suddenly a person ran up to him and told him that as long as he signed, he could get fifteen million.
