Chapter 118: The Strongest Commercial Director

Meng Chao has his own set of methods for dealing with these people.

Compared with the past, Meng Chao's style of doing things has become more mature.

Since many of the actors signed by its two companies are brokerage contracts, Meng Chao naturally has to operate in the model of a star brokerage company.

For example, Meng Chao has asked Huang Baiming to set up a working group to deal with the contracts and scripts sent by major film companies.

Huang Baiming himself is a screenwriter, and he has his own set of methods for identifying the quality of a script, and Meng Chao is no longer afraid of his actors jumping ship.

Because Genesis Film Company and Century Note Records have become a star-making factory in the domestic entertainment industry, everyone knows that if you want to become famous, the fastest way to become popular is to catch Meng Chao and become its artist.

Therefore, even if those outside film companies want to poach, most of the people under Meng Chao will not directly agree, but will still make the other party want to negotiate with the company.

People such as Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong, and Zhang Xueyou signed brokerage contracts with Meng Chao, even if an outside company came to them, they only needed to pay Meng Chao one or two percent of the brokerage fee for the remuneration given, and the rest of the bulk also fell into their pockets.

So they don't need to turn their faces directly with Meng Chao, but with the professionalism of Meng Chao's team, they can help them identify whether some movies are worth the next step, so that they can try not to consume their actor careers.

Take Zhou Yanfa as an example, now that he has found his film appointment, if Fa Ge is all next, there will be 365 days a year, even if he starts work every day, he may not be able to finish filming, so what he needs is a professional team to help him identify, which movies can be accepted and which ones are not necessary!

Therefore, Meng Chao charged their brokerage fees definitely not in vain.

In the end, after a certain selection, Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong and Brother Dillon each signed contracts for at least two movies, and the salary was as high as more than one million, and the commission of the brokerage fee alone made Meng Chao earn millions in vain.

However, most of the genres of these movies are following the route of "The True Color of Heroes", such as "Heroes and Heroes", "Heroes Without Tears", "Gunfire Heroes" and the like, although they are not the works of too famous directors and screenwriters, but they are somewhat useful in doing it.

After all, it is impossible for Meng Chao to start filming the sequel to "The True Colors of Heroes" immediately, so it is impossible to use these three actors for a while, so letting them go out to pick up the movie is also based on the principle of knife cutting tofu and mutual benefit on both sides.

Meng Chao is an actor and singer, so even if he becomes the boss of a record company and a film company today, he will still think from the perspective of his actors and singers, only in this way can he retain talents and make the company develop more healthily and rapidly, instead of squeezing all their value in one hand......

……

June 20, 1986.

Yanjing ** Restaurant.

This restaurant is one of the restaurants in Yanjing that specializes in Cantonese cuisine, and it is also the most famous among them, it is known as the second knife in the three knives and one axe, when Meng Chao had no money before, he was invited by investors to eat once because the movie was completed, and he was a small supporting actor at that time, so he didn't have any chance to talk to him throughout the whole process, just focused on eating.

It is precisely because of the concentration on tasting, so Meng Chao quickly fell in love with the Cantonese cuisine here, mainly because he is a native of Southern Guangdong, so the taste of Cantonese cuisine is more suitable for him.

So here today, Meng Chao invited another famous director, Mr. Wang Jing.

"Brother Jing, I really like the specialties here, you can try it later."

Meng Chao has now become the highest-grossing film director, "The True Color of Heroes" has a box office of 60 million a week, which has frightened many filmmakers, and now almost everyone who pays attention to the movie is betting on what kind of number the final box office of this movie will reach, so Wang Jing is naturally very concerned about this movie and Meng Chao.

However, Meng Chao's personality is very admirable and likeable, no matter how high his achievements are, he still respects some seniors in the entertainment industry, which makes many people like to contact him very much.

This includes Wang Jing, he didn't expect that after Meng Chao became a young man, instead of being arrogant and incoherent, he was still his original self, and he was a man and did things with his own beliefs and hearts, which had to be admired.

"Meng Chao, your "True Colors of Heroes" is so powerful now, I went to the cinema the night before yesterday to watch it, the on-site viewing effect is simply too good, the audience's reaction is too addictive to it at once, being able to make such a movie is definitely a filmmaker's dream in his life!"

Wang Jing's expression is very strict, which is contrary to the style of many of his movies, in fact, in addition to Wang Jing being more playful in life, he likes to eat, drink, and play cards**, he is still quite serious about work, especially the type of movie he likes.

"Thank you, Brother Jing, you're about to praise me to the sky. By the way, didn't you talk to Shaw Brothers last time about asking you to go back to make a movie? The result? ”

When it comes to the Shaw Brothers, Wang Jing is still a little helpless, his father is Mr. Shao Yifu's most loyal old courtier, but the Shaw Brothers' style is too old-fashioned, and now it is still maintaining the model of the big set, Shao Tycoon is like an emperor-like figure, even stars like Liu Dehua and Huang Rihua have been hidden in the snow!

But now the movies made by Shaw Brothers are losing more and making less money, and the only director who can rely on is Li Hanxiang, so its employees are now all impetuous, and they want to change jobs as soon as their wings are hard, even Wang Jing can't help but shake his head and say: "Shaw Brothers has become more and more unable to retain people, and I have asked me to go back to make a movie before, but the money given is too little, and the box office after the release of the movie is not too ideal, so there is no new movie yet." ”

From Wang Jing's words, Meng Chao could hear that Wang Jing had no nostalgia for the Shaw Brothers at all.

If Meng Chao doesn't recruit him, he will soon be recruited by the Xiang brothers and become the gold medal director of Yongsheng Film Company, but now Meng Chao obviously takes a fancy to this commercial box office director with a very high output, so he wants to cut off Hu before Xiang Huaqiang!

Therefore, inviting Wang Jing to dine with him today, Meng Chao just hoped to recruit him.

"Brother Jing has ever thought of using the theme of chasing girls such as "The Frog Prince" and "I Love Rolando" that you filmed before, and adding the ridicule and funny jokes of popular movies to combine a new type of movie?"
