Chapter 610: The Great Adjustment
On January 6, Liu Tao got married, which kicked off the first shot of the New Year in the entertainment industry. The wedding was a sensation and is still talked about today.
The scene was in the Wangfu Hotel, which covered two floors, and friends in the circle such as Hu Jun, Lin Xinru, and Qin Hailu came to congratulate. On weekdays, it's always troublesome for celebrities to get together, but today no one cares.
One Porsche, eight Ferraris, three Lamborghini, one Mercedes SLR, two Bentleys, two Rolls-Royces...... Just look at this crazy wedding car team, the second generation of local tyrants who plan to do so, and the ruthless people who transfer $1 million in gift money on the spot, who cares about celebrities!
Hu Jun and the others were better, and goods like Yang Sanjilang were immediately shocked, and they were properly quail-shaped.
Because of the co-performance in "Dragon Babu", Liu Tao also invited Fan Xiaoye, but the people were busy finishing up "Painted Skin", so they wished it from afar, and did not follow it, only gave a set of exquisite ornaments, and also asked for a guest gift bag - she liked the customized Tiffany crystal candy box.
And Lin Xinru felt very low, she didn't give it to her, the two of them sprayed each other for this matter for a night, you don't love me, I don't love you, I can hear Chu Qing's various troubles over and over.
At this time, he was approaching the end of the term, and in order to avoid postpartum depression among his daughter-in-law, he increased the frequency of treatment. Fan Xiaoye is transparent up and down every day, and the depression gradually opens, and he returns to his giggling appearance.
He saw it in his eyes, but he was inexplicably entangled: It's a good thing for his daughter-in-law to grow up, but he can't come like this every time!
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as ploughed land, only tired cattle. The number of tadpoles released by males at a time is between 2 cc and 7 cc, and the number of tadpoles contained in them is between 100 million and 350 million.
However, the number of tadpoles produced in the human body every day is only 40 million to 50 million.
Chu Qing asked himself to be very healthy. And the sturdy man, what's the matter, there are 50 million, according to the current 3 times / day...... Emma, it's scary!
To be a 2cc man or a 7cc man, it's a philosophical question.
……
On the 13th, it was fine.
This is the first appearance of the two bosses since their return, and the first plenary meeting of 2008. The company attaches great importance to the fact that except for the dead father and mother who are dead at home and cannot move, they are not allowed to take leave for any reason.
Artists except for Huang Bo who filmed "Crazy Racing". Zhang Jingchu, who filmed "Shinjuku Incident", was all present. The huge conference room was crowded, and there were people everywhere in the eye, and there was an urge to pull the turnips.
Wang Baoqiang was next to Tang Wei, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, and Huang Xuan formed a circle of their own, and waved to Baoqiang for the first time. That stupid boy is so happy that he has to pretend to be cool on his face.
After a short time, several major bosses entered one after another, and the meeting officially began.
As usual, it is Cheng Ying who presides. First of all, Huang Ying introduced last year's income and expenditure, to the effect that we have to earn, and the salary and bonus will be paid, so everyone can rest assured.
Then. Yang Fan analyzed the market situation:
In 2006, the company invested in three TV series and six movies, but relied on the huge profits of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Soldier Assault". Still net over 100 million.
In 2007, he invested in three movies and two TV series. In the final settlement, it still made a net profit of more than 100 million.
First of all, in China, due to the invasion of a large amount of foreign capital, the market is like a pot of hot soup, which has been floated with a thick layer of oil foam, and everyone is looking forward to it being heated and boiling in order to get a piece of the pie.
Last year, the total box office in the country was 3.3 billion, an increase of 6 billion over the previous year. What's even more rare is that "Casting the Name" and "Assembly Number" teamed up at the end of last year to set off a wave of craze, and it is the first time for the Chinese market that it can accommodate two domestic films with a box office of more than 200 million in the same period.
From the perspective of the industrial chain, it is probably:
The concept of consumption has changed, and it has become the norm to watch movies in theaters→ audiences pursue big stars and big productions→ and the filmmakers welcome their preferences, resulting in a sharp increase in the value of stars → the Great Leap Forward → the production level→ the number of works has doubled, and the market prosperity → more and more urging consumption.
And the other industrial chain is: "Crazy Stone" → low-cost comedies can also make a lot of money→ filmmakers have the psychology of picking up leaks, but they do not carefully polish the → level of the workLOWB→ quite a large fan group, and the demand is blank
The advantage is that the soil for entertainment has been formed, and the film and television industry is no longer a bullshit "literary and artistic front" and "literary and artistic workers", from the government to the grassroots, it is truly an industry.
The disadvantage is that for example, if a coal boss wants to enter the film and television industry, he dares to spend 10 million to invite Chu Qing to star, but he is only willing to spend 5 million on film production, which is a one-shot deal.
There is no way, the industry threshold is too low, there is no access and regulatory system, anyone can come in and play.
In addition, abroad, the company started by exporting literary and artistic films, with low cost and high returns, but since 2006, the interest of overseas markets in Chinese literary films is decreasing.
In the past, even "Anyang Baby" and "Incense" could be bought at a good price, but now "Night Train", "Golden Splendor", and "Lifting from the Dust" are almost all smashed.
The artistic expression of "Tengu" is much better than that of "The Blind Well", and the Cannes actor is also a little more high-end than the Berlin actor, and as a result, the overseas income of the two films is almost the same.
All of this shows that if you fool foreigners with that kind of speculative mentality, you will lose all your money sooner or later.
And Yang Fan nagged so much, there were only two meanings:
1, regardless of the success of "Painted Skin", making blockbusters is an inevitable choice for the company. Because the production cost is increasing, if you don't make a blockbuster, you will be forced to make a blockbuster.
2. There is no market for literary films at home and abroad, and investment will be more cautious in the future. Oh, and there's a parentheses: (except when the boss is wayward).
These contents are very important, how can I not get everyone's points, half of them listen to it drowsy. Zhao Liying was holding Master Liu's arm and was bored, but in the next second, she immediately trembled.
"Now I'm going to talk about the adjustment plan of the artist and the agent......"
The eldest lady never took the manuscript, and came as soon as she opened her mouth: "The company has always adhered to the principle of excellence, although the works are excellent, the number is small, the cycle is long, and the consumption of actors is too great." We all know that artists rely on exposure, and one film and television drama a year is purely death. Just like Raider, you will be popular next year, but the year after tomorrow, or even the year after tomorrow, there will be new works, and you will complain in your heart if you don't say it. ”
"Uh, hey, hey!"
Baozi was innocently shot and could only smirk.
Cheng Ying continued: "So from this year onwards, the company's dramas will continue to play, and the outside dramas will not be left behind, and resources must be expanded in order to keep up with the development of the market." In the past, our artist management was an extensive nanny management, and since we want to open up to the outside world, we naturally have to transform scientifically. ”
After the company's research, the artists were divided into three groups, each group was coordinated by a big agent, and the small agent was personally matched. Responsible for your performing arts affairs, marketing routes, image packaging, commercial activities, etc. Some may not understand, you ask yourself, I don't care how each group operates, in a word, not afraid of competition, grades first! ”
“……”
As soon as these words came out, the crows were silent. Tang Wei and Baoqiang are okay, those two little ones are even cold in their hearts. Especially Master Liu, looking at the man on the stage, he suddenly had a kind of courage to be abandoned.
All along, his teaching as a father and teacher has become a habit, and he stands behind him like a patriarch, as if he doesn't have to worry about anything. Now, this emotion is stripped away, and it is simply sparse.
As if sensing her gaze, Chu Qing glanced over here, and then turned his head.
To be honest, there are no two such bosses in the world, they may not know that other artists mention it, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, and they also give them nicknames, called "Chu Ma" and "Fan Dad".
And love is love, and the system is the system, which is not in conflict.
Before everyone could digest it, Cheng Ying said again: "Zhang Jingchu's contract expires this year, and after many communications, she decided not to renew the contract and will leave in May." ”
In order to supplement the artist resources, the company has reached an agreement with Chen Qiaoen, Wang Qianyuan, and Qi Xi, three actors, and will officially join next month. Oh, don't spread the news! ”
"The following groups are announced: the first group, coordinated by Ding Linglin, including Huang Bo, Chen Qiaoen, and Huang Xuan...... The second group, coordinated by Lu Xiaojia, includes Wang Baoqiang, Zhao Liying, Qi Xi...... The third group, I am in charge of myself, including Tang Wei, Liu Shishi, and Wang Qianyuan. ”
“……”
The audience was stunned, and they were continuously shot in the head.
Liu was stupid, one would be surprised by Sister Xiaochu, one would be sad for the teacher, and the other would be depressed that he was not in the same group as Baozi. On the contrary, Zhao Liying smelled a glimmer of opportunity from the configuration.
In this, Qi Xi was targeted by Chu Qing for a long time, and Wang Qianyuan was dug up by him, and he also gave a liquidated damages. No company can afford to do without such roles, and each of these three groups has two key training targets, plus an incubator.
What is a lurker, they have both potential, divine help, and respect for performance, in the eyes of the producer, they are not enough box office appeal, not handsome enough, but they must be good actors.
To put it bluntly, it's just four words: cheap and durable.
…………
Because the news was too rich and messy, after the meeting ended, everyone digested it for a long time before they started to act.
The most subtle must be the artist group, where Ding Linglin's ability is, everyone is convinced. Lu Xiaojia was a little embarrassed, she used to be an assistant, then she worked as a clerical, and now she has been promoted to the third gear, and the drama changes too quickly.
Wang Baoqiang understands a little, in terms of network resources, she is better than the two bosses. And Zhao Liying is not very familiar with Lu Xiaojia, and is busy building a good relationship. Those second-level small brokers also stood in line in an instant, and it will be a competitive relationship in the future.
Cheng Ying's group was the most stable and calm, only Tang Wei angrily questioned Zhang Jingchu - she didn't know about the other party.
Xiao Chuyuan was in Japan, couldn't explain, couldn't answer, and cried when he hung up the phone. said a good sisterhood, said a good movie queen, in the end, said to disperse. (To be continued.) )
