Chapter 95: Recruitment
At Mr. Guo's house, everyone chatted while drinking tea, but they were happy. Although everyone's communication has not yet involved the specific details of the performance, Mr. Guo Donglin's guidance did open up Zhou Yi's performance ideas.
If it weren't for tonight's talk, Zhou Yi really couldn't think of these things, and he would have to cross the river by feeling the stones.
Now Zhou Yi has indeed benefited a lot.
It was as if he used to live in an airtight room and couldn't see the outside world at all, but now that the skylight had been opened, he could see the scenery outside. For Zhou Yi at the moment, this is enough.
While chatting, Mr. Guo and Aunt Tanya were very interested in the box office of "Five Poisons", and asked Zhou Yi about his current situation.
Senior Sister Guo Aiming is also very curious.
Zhou Yi told everyone about the recent box office situation of the film.
"Wow! That's so high! Senior Sister Guo Aiming exclaimed.
It can be seen that Teacher Guo and Aunt Tanya are also surprised.
Although they have seen the movie and know that the box office of the film will not be low, they did not expect the box office to be so high.
After all, there is a double strong film "Zhenshentou" this week, how can there be such a high box office under strong suppression?
Everyone exclaimed: "Five Poisons" is indeed a strong film.
What are strong film qualities? is not afraid of blockbuster suppression, which is the characteristic of strong films!
Guo Donglin analyzed: "Ah Yi, I didn't expect the box office trend of your new film to be so good, the box office on Friday was 19.8 million yuan, obviously not greatly affected by the two blockbusters, otherwise there would not be such a high box office." Basically, Friday's box office can determine the trend of the week. Your film has been released for more than a week, and the reputation of fans is very stable, unlike new films, as long as you bear the suppression of two blockbusters, there will be no situation where zài suddenly drops the box office. In this way, it is not a problem for the box office to exceed 60 million Chinese yuan in the three days of the weekend, and the total box office is at least more than 80 million Chinese yuan if you count the box office accumulated earlier. ”
"That's pretty much it, it should be fine."
Zhou Yi smiled slightly, he also estimated it this way, and he was very satisfied.
"The first debut film can have such a result, the junior brother is really amazing." Guo Aiming smiled and cheered.
"Haha! Luck! Luck! Thank you for your encouragement! Zhou Yi smiled humbly.
"With such a box office, it is not a big problem to enter the top five in the weekend box office rankings, and it is even possible to enter the top three. It's not easy for a small-cost film to do this, it's really outstanding. Guo Donglin exclaimed.
"I hope to be in the top five! That's enough. "Zhou Yi is very modest, and the top three are indeed a little hanging. Although it is not a problem to suppress the weak "Tongquetai", and there is hope for crushing the "Disciple of the Evil God" with a poor reputation, don't forget that there are also very strong gourd babies and big movie queens! With those two resilient films, Zhou Yike didn't dare to talk about the top three lightly, and it would be a shame if he couldn't get up.
In fact, no one will feel ashamed, other films are big investments!
Even the investment in romantic films like "Where the Seagull Flies" is not small.
Zhou Yi has analyzed the weekend box office rankings, and this is basically the case.
Everyone has a lot of discussions, and they are more optimistic about the box office shape of Zhengdong's "Five Poison Gate". According to Guo Donglin's analysis, if the film can expand the scale of screenings next week, according to the current box office trend, it is inevitable that the number of theaters for such high-quality films should definitely not be limited to 2590, even if it is a small-budget film, the number of theaters should be expanded to more than 4000, at least more than "Lost Island" or something! If this is really the case, counting the box office next week, the total box office can at least rush to more than 150 million yuan.
By the time the film is finished, it is conservatively estimated that the final box office will definitely not be less than 200 million yuan.
Maybe it's even higher, 250 million to 300 million, it's possible.
As for more than 300 million, depending on the situation, there is no need to think about it.
This is Guo Donglin's analysis, and Aunt Tanya agrees with it.
If there is really such a box office, Zhou Yi is also very satisfied, at least he has accumulated enough funds for the shooting of mid-range films.
Guo Donglin praised: "With a cost of 5 million, it is really amazing to fight such a high box office!" ”
Zhou Yi hurriedly explained: "Counting the cost of publicity, there is a total of 10 million!" ”
"Haha! That's pretty good, too. The action scenes of this film are really powerful, not to mention a precedent, but it has also been done to the extreme. It is well deserved to have such good results. Action movies rely on the actors' fighting scenes to support the scenes, but in fact, it has little to do with the investment cost. Of course, it will definitely take a big investment and a big production to invite an action superstar, but as long as the action star has real skills, there is also a chance to stand out. ”
Everyone agreed.
This film can have today's good results, and the actors have really done too much.
This is definitely taking the salary of a newcomer, selling the strength of a superstar, and having a good character.
Zhou Yi smiled, and decided that after he got the account, he would definitely give everyone a red envelope.
During the small talk, Zhou Yi knocked on the side to understand Mr. Guo's family situation, at least to check for Aunt Tanya.
God knows if people need him to check it?
However, Guo Donglin is very straightforward, but he doesn't hide it from him, there is nothing to hide. His wife died early, with two children, the eldest son Guo Fucheng graduated as early as Yanying, and the second daughter Guo Aiming is in her junior year in Yanying, and she is about to be a senior.
Mr. Guo was very satisfied with his daughter, but when he mentioned his son, he had a headache and died of trouble.
Zhou Yi didn't know what was going on, so he took the opportunity to ask Senior Sister Ai Ming.
"Senior Fucheng is not at home today?"
Guo Aiming smiled helplessly.
Aunt Tanya explained beside her: "You don't have to worry about seniors. Mr. Guo wanted him to study acting seriously, but he went to his uncle Guo Degang and learned cross talk, which almost made Mr. Guo half angry. ”
"Haha!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Guo Aiming shook her head again and again.
"My brother thinks that cross talk is also art. Of course, it's art! But we are a family of performing arts, and learning acting is the right way. The uncle abducted his brother to talk about cross talk, which really made my father very depressed. ”
Teacher Guo shook his head and sighed, really speechless.
In fact, Guo Degang is quite famous in the cross talk industry, Zhou Yi has also heard of it, and has heard several of his cross talks, but he didn't expect him to be Mr. Guo's younger brother. Seeing that Zhou Yi was surprised, Guo Donglin also introduced him a few words. According to Mr. Guo, Guo Degang has been speaking cross talk in Hong Kong. He was born in Hong Kong, his real name is Guo Gangsheng, and later he felt that the name was cheesy and unpleasant, so he took the stage name Guo Degang.
However, he has always lived in Hong Kong and does not come back often, and Guo Fucheng has also lived there for a few years.
He didn't say much about the specific family relationship.
Zhou Yi didn't ask much, it didn't matter, anyway, he felt that the relationship between this family was quite chaotic.
"Fortunately, your senior Fucheng has been tired of talking about cross talk recently, and he wants to come back and is ready to continue his acting career. Mr. Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and recently helped him find a show! Aunt Tanya said with a smile, "Ah Yi, if your company has a suitable role in the future, you should consider your senior and senior Sister Ming." Aunt Tanya didn't forget to remind her.
"Of course, no problem!" Zhou Yi said with a smile, "Recently, we have been filming macho action movies, but unfortunately there are no suitable roles, but there will always be in the future." I will definitely remember my seniors and sisters. It's not that hard to do. ”
Guo Aiming next to her grinned.
"Your assistant senior is a careless one." Guo Donglin smiled bitterly.
"In fact, our company is short of manpower, and seniors can come to our company to film at any time, what does it matter?"
"That's a good idea. After that, my eldest brother and I relied on my younger brother to cover us. Guo Aiming laughed playfully.
"Haha! A little thing! If you don't take care of your own people, who else can you take care of? Zhou Yi said with a smile.
In fact, this kind of thing is a good thing, Zhengdong Pictures is short of manpower, and it must recruit troops, how can it not take care of "your own family"?
"Senior Sister Ao Ming will be a senior next year and will graduate soon!"
"Your sister is indeed about to graduate, and she will be a senior in the summer. In the past two years, I have been connected with guò and helped her take on a few internships, but there are no particularly suitable roles, and she can't become popular. However, her temperament is very gentle and tranquil, similar to your Aunt Tanya, she plans to film for a few years, add some practical experience, and then return to Yanying to be a teacher, and she is also very good at teaching. Guo Donglin introduced.
"It's better to film more while you're young, don't be in a hurry to be a teacher!" Zhou Yijian yì.
"The junior is right. Don't listen to my dad's nonsense, in fact, people also want to be popular! ”
"Haha!"
Everyone was amused by Guo Aiming's deliberately coquettish words. She doesn't have any senior sister's pedigree in front of her junior.
This senior sister is also quite interesting.
"Did Senior Sister sign for any film and television company, or brokerage company?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Nope!"
"She didn't sign with any company, and she was hesitant all the time. Be cautious in this regard, if you don't have a familiar relationship, how dare you mess around! Now the competition in this industry is too fierce, and I am afraid that she will not adapt to it. Even if you sign the company, no one will support you, and you won't be able to get on the top! Guo Donglin said.
"If the sign-in is not suitable, or the company is incompetent, or it is suppressed, wasted for a few years, and the actress's youth is short, it is tantamount to ruining a lifetime, and you must indeed be cautious." Aunt Tanya interjected.
"Actually, the senior sister can come to our company, even if it is an internship. We're short of actresses! ”
"Really?" Guo Aiming seemed interested.
"Your Aunt Tanya also recommended your company to me, and I see that you seem to be doing well lately."
It sounds like Mr. Guo is really thinking about this seriously.
Zhou Yi also introduced the situation of his own company in a timely manner.
No matter how Aunt Tanya introduces, she doesn't know as well as herself.
Mr. Guo also talked about some of his thoughts.
He is the head of the Yanying Performance Department, how can he not have connections in the industry? There are naturally a lot of entertainment companies and brokerage companies that I know, but knowing is one thing, and the development of my daughter is another. You have to sign a contract, of course it's easy, with his relationship, which company can't sign? How can you not give face? There are many large companies that can be contacted, and there are many that are stronger than Zhengdong Pictures.
But the point is, if you sign a contract, will there be development?
How fierce and cruel the competition in the industry is now!
The methods used by actresses are becoming more and more ruthless, the tricks are renovated, and they emerge in an endless stream, in order to be on top, tearing can be torn to the dark, making you dizzy, and the competition is much more fierce than that of male stars. Male stars at least have to stand upright, but actresses have no bottom limit!
Like Nalan Xuefei and Vivien Li, of course they won't do that, after all, their status has reached the top level, and they can't rise, at most, they are competing with each other for a sister, but the actresses below are not so graceful. Can you really fit into that competitive environment? In the past, you put down your face, took off to win, and slept with you all the way, and you could sleep in the Hua Dan seat, but now if you look at it again, it's useless to sleep all over the crew!
Even if you sign a contract based on a relationship, will anyone be willing to support you? Can you really act?
Even if you can play it, will you be able to grab the right role?
That's really going to be robbed.
Not every company is Zhengdong, with three or two big cats and kittens, and there is no competitive pressure. There are no even signed actresses, and the two pillars are mature men with good personalities, what competitive pressure can there be?
But after the filming of several dramas in Zhengdong is completed and the big sells, you will take a look at the situation, then it will not be three or two big cats and kittens, can there be no competitive pressure?
There is a lot of competition within every company.
In addition to the indispensable pillars, no one is irreplaceable, and even the pillars can be replaced!
In this environment, even if you are the daughter of the head of the Yanying Department, you will definitely be able to ascend to the position? Stop dreaming! There are many artists who are bigger than you, and there is no shortage of artists in the circle even a second generation. Who doesn't want a view? Who doesn't want to make money? It is never uncommon for artists with identity and background to be found. Why are you on top of the throne?
Of course, Zhou Yi can understand these things that Mr. Guo considered.
But he is confident that he will develop Zhengdong, and if Senior Sister Aiming is willing to come, he will not worry about no filming.
Everyone is their own family and will definitely take care of her.
Zhou Yi introduced: "Two months ago, when we acquired the company, the company was in turmoil, and the actresses couldn't stay at home, so they were all poached by other film and television companies. At that time, I didn't force it to stay, after all, there are many actresses in the industry, and I don't have to worry about no one. But now there is only one sister in the company, and even Yan Ying hasn't been on it yet! Now we are shooting macho action movies, all of them are men's gangs, and there is not a single actress. Even the female number two used for filming TV series was borrowed by me from Daqin Langjun. But it can't always be like this in the future, actresses are always needed, especially when filming several dramas at the same time, more are needed. Senior Sister Aiming came to our company, which is the first to come, and she must have a future for development. I'm not going to let her suffer. ”
Aunt Tanya smiled: "I think it's okay, my own company, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
Guo Donglin nodded and said, "In that case, let her try it then." ”
"Good! All right! Guo Aiming smiled nonchalantly.
It can be seen that Mr. Guo's father and daughter are very tempting, and with this relationship, they are indeed closer.
It has nothing to do with the size of the company.
After all, Zhengdong has just developed, and if you have a background, it will definitely develop.
But if you are close, there are benefits, and the showbiz mainly depends on relationships, otherwise who will praise you?
Whether it's nepotism, or kinship, it's useful.
Look at Tang Yan, before graduating from high school, there is a heroine of a large-scale TV series waiting for her, which is a good example. Not only is there a professional screenwriter tailor-made for her to create a script, but also a first-line professional choreographer to guide her. She didn't do anything! The money spent on her is hundreds of thousands. No one is strong enough to support it, how can there be such a good thing? No one's money is blown by the wind!
You can say that Zhou Yi is playing the "sister development" game, but it doesn't cost money to play the game?
At this time, Zhou Yi persuaded with a smile: "Mr. Guo, don't look at our company as small, but we have a big background, we don't dare to say anything else, at least in the entertainment industry, none of us are afraid, we just have this kind of confidence." When the senior sister comes to our company, there is nothing to worry about at all. ”
Everyone laughed.
Guo Donglin was embarrassed to ask directly, but Aunt Tanya revealed Zhou Yi's old bottom nonchalantly: "We don't need to hide it from Mr. Guo, everyone is our own people." Ah Yi has a very close relationship with the military commander, and he has always been covered by the military commander, what are you afraid of? ”
"Oh?"
Guo Donglin was taken aback.
Guo Aiming next to her was also surprised and looked at Zhou Yi in surprise.
They knew that Zhou Yi must have a background, otherwise it would be impossible to enter Yan Ying's special recruitment list, but they didn't know what the specific background was. Because of this kind of thing, Zhuo Qinglian will not talk to the head of the department, but will directly contact the principal Guò.
People at that level know the specific situation and will not talk nonsense with the people below.
They were indeed surprised to learn that Zhou Yi had a military background. This is not because of how bluffing the military commanders are, Director Guo is well-informed and has rich social experience, and will not be deceived by some bad fake news in society.
Will he believe the news that the military commander has secret prisons overseas, flogging and torture prisoners?
For example, if an agent of the military command has a license to kill people and shoots people in the street, will he believe it?
He was surprised because the military command and the entertainment industry are completely incompatible!
Usually, he knows the background of some specially recruited students with backgrounds, at most, a provincial and ministerial-level official stuffed a relative into it or something. But he has never heard of the military commander stuffing people in the performing arts college. That's really what it is...... It's incredible!
Zhou Yi didn't care about letting Mr. Guo know the situation, knowing that it was better to do things, it was no big deal.
"Like our latest preparation for the filming of "Chongxiao Tower", the experts who built the Chongxiao Tower and my etiquette teacher are all people sent by the military commander. With their help, a lot of things went smoothly. Zhou Yi introduced.
"No wonder you are so easy to get on Yanjing TV to promote, I was quite puzzled before." Guo Donglin said with a smile.
"Haha! That's not the relationship between our military commanders, it's a relationship introduced by a good sister. I met Sister Yin, the host of Yanjing TV's entertainment channel, who is the niece of our mayor of Yanjing. With her help, what is the last show? Zhou Yi explained.
"Oh! I see! ”
This surprised Mr. Guo, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to be young, not only has a background, but also has a lot of relationships!
It's a pity that he doesn't know that Zhou Yi usually only makes friends with beautiful royal sisters.
The beautiful sister is not only pleasing to the eye, but also generally helps the younger brother, he just needs to praise his sister, how good!
"And the propaganda we have recently done in some strict newspapers, Mr. Guo knows! I myself am the eighth stage of our Huaxia Guoshu Museum, and I have been it for a long time, which is real. Zhou Yi didn't mind saying more.
"I see the news. It is indeed not easy to publish this kind of news in these big newspapers. Teacher Guo nodded. Apparently he is more concerned with doing propaganda in the big newspapers. As for Zhou Yi's eighth stage of national arts, he already knew it.
"In fact, contacting these newspapers was done by Sister Chu and Sister Yin. One of them is the daughter of the governor of eastern Guangdong, and the other is the niece of the mayor of Yanjing, and we both have a cooperative relationship and usually have a deep relationship. Like our company's new factory logo, it is made by Sister Chu's company. ”
"Wow! Junior brother, you really can do it! Next to Guo Aiming exclaimed.
"So senior sister, you have no problem coming to our company, there are guarantees in all aspects, and there is no need to worry. At least in the entertainment industry, although we are currently a second-tier small company, we are not afraid of anyone. Of course, Zhou Yi is very confident.
If it was to an irrelevant outsider, Zhou Yi would categorically not confide in these situations.
These secrets should not be told in person, even in private.
But looking at the intimate relationship between Mr. Guo and Aunt Tanya, Zhou Yi knew that there was a chance that things could be done, and looking at Guo Aiming's attitude, it is estimated that he knows this matter, and he obviously does not object. They are usually in Yanying, and they are not stupid, how can they not see it?
In this case, it is estimated that they will soon be their own people.
Zhou Yi can help, of course he will help.
And he doesn't want these "quasi-relatives" to sign in to other companies, how troublesome! Why don't you come to your own company?
With so many memories of his past life, are you still worried about not acting?
It would be best if things could be resolved this way.
Therefore, Zhou Yi told them these things, which was also to reassure Teacher Guo and Senior Sister Guo and reassure them.
They know what is important and they don't go out and talk nonsense.
Aunt Tanya will also pay attention to the advice, and it doesn't matter if her family talks about it.
It can be seen that Aunt Tanya is very satisfied with Teacher Guo.
If it weren't for that, even if Aunt Tanya wanted Zhou Yi to visit Teacher Guo, she would only take him to visit in person, instead of waiting for him at Teacher Guo's house in advance. With this detail alone, Zhou Yi can see a lot of things, and naturally he will not see the outside. Besides, Aunt Tanya deliberately made Zhou Yi's background clear before, so there is no need to say more.
But that's not something to be sure of anytime soon.
Teacher Guo will definitely have a private discussion with his children.
Zhou Yi was not in a hurry.
In fact, with this relationship, it is difficult for them to choose other companies, and there is no more suitable company in the industry than Zhengdong Pictures.
And Zhengdong Pictures is indeed short of manpower, and it is also a good thing to be able to recruit two seniors.
If it weren't for Aunt Tanya's relationship, first of all, Zhou Yi would not casually tell his background, and the other party might not trust a second-tier small company like Zhengdong Pictures, especially Yanying's graduates would definitely want to find a more suitable big company in the industry.
Even if Zhengdong Pictures' low-budget films are successful, it is the same, after all, without a big production, it is difficult to attract real talent. The eyes are higher than the top, and the eyes are high and the hands are low, and there are also common zài among actors. Who wouldn't want to sign a big company?
But with this relationship, it's a completely different story.
If there is manpower, of course, it is easier to have a future for development, and the size of the company is secondary. If you sign a big company, you may not have a show, and it may not be as good as a small company! Besides, Zhengdong Pictures has a background and must be easy to develop.
Everyone understands this.
Naturally, things are easy to negotiate.
In fact, Zhou Yi didn't recruit people from his own company casually, having the relationship between Mr. Guo and Aunt Tanya was only one aspect, if people couldn't do it, he would only help get a few small roles, but he might not be willing to spend effort to cultivate.
But looking at Senior Sister Aiming's appearance, figure and temperament, she is indeed outstanding, her overall appearance is extremely high, and she has such a family background and professional education, her acting skills are naturally guaranteed, and she must have a promising future, as long as she has a suitable role, she should be able to easily become popular.
Referring to Senior Sister Ai Ming, I believe that Senior Fu Cheng will not be bad.
Even if you buy one get one free, it's nothing, at least people can say cross talk, and it's really sweaty.
With this kind of cognition, Zhou Yi invited them, but it was not a random thing.
After chatting for a while, the matter was over, and seeing that it was already late, Zhou Yi proposed to leave and return to school.
Mr. Guo's family personally sent him out, and he was very kind and friendly.
Everyone left each other's contact information and mobile phone numbers for easy contact.
Zhou Yi also told Senior Sister Aiming to call him often, and then left Yanying Xiuyuan satisfied.
Take a taxi back to school, nothing to say all the way.
I had a brief chat with my sister about the meeting, and the day went by.
