Chapter 34: Whose Idea?
Why is he so hard-hearted?
This problem is the primary problem in the office, and the Wang brothers sat face to face in the office, staring and pondering together.
They all know that the domestic film and television drama market is getting better and better, and capable artists are becoming more and more difficult to discipline. Unless he's crazy!
"Is that really what you said?" Wang Zhongjun asked again.
Wang Zhonglei sat opposite his brother, sighed and said, "Can I lie about such a big thing?" Let's say it first, I didn't offend anyone, I went to kowtow and make a fuss, replaced the hotel with the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, and promised to send him an assistant more, brother, this matter can't be suppressed, and our company's artists will be completely unable to bring it in the future. ”
Wang Zhonglei was noncommittal, still thinking about the question that had been lingering in his mind, what is Shao Yingying!
It is impossible for the two of them to know what Shao Yingying is in their lives, because they have no idea what will happen in the future.
But all this, Shao Yingying knows!
Before Hua Yi didn't have him Shao Yingying, it was Feng Xiaogang who took the lead in the box office results, and as for other income, it was completely a normal way of operating a brokerage company, and Hua Yi grabbed territory in the TV drama market after Shao Yingying. The current time is 2001, even if Hua Yi wants to ban Shao Yingying for this matter, he is not afraid, Shao Yingying knows in his heart that he will be banned for less than a year and a half at most, in April 2003, Wang Zhongjun, the boss of Huayi, will personally invite him out, and the good food, drink and hospitality will be unblocked, because that year, a disaster caused the film market to completely collapse, which is recorded in the computer, and it is absolutely wrong.
Non--Classic!
It was a time period when everyone had to wear a mask on the street, and it was a time period when even the board-blue-root would be out of stock, but during this time period, the TV drama market experienced crazy growth, which also paved the way for the later TV drama market to become popular. Isn't that enough to describe the audience in front of the cinema in terms of even a handful of computer history?
Take a look at the names of the top ten works in the 2003 mainland ratings list, you can see at a glance, the tenth place is "Women Are No Longer Silent", the ninth place is "Buyi Zhixian Fanruhua", if the ninth place is supported by Zhang Tielin and Zhang Guoli, then the tenth place is Li Dibin, who has not starred in "Bright Sword" in history, as the male lead, and the rest, there is no actor who can take the responsibility for ratings, this kind of TV series can be in the top ten, which shows how much people relied on TV back then.
Tick, tick, tick.
The phone in Wang Zhongjun's office rang, and when he picked up the phone, he heard Yu Shengli's almost crazy voice: "It's broken, Mr. Wang, good news, it's broken!" ”
Wang Zhongjun frowned, and responded politely and calmly: "What's broken?" ”
"Broken 4 !!!"
Wang Zhongjun stood up on the boss's chair at once, took the phone and asked again: "Mr. Yu, do you mean that the ratings of "Bright Sword" have broken 4?" ”
"Of course! 40.7%, this is yesterday's statistics, this half a month's broadcast and media evaluation have allowed "Bright Sword" to accumulate a large number of viewers, if it continues to develop according to this momentum, I am confident that we can break the average record of 42% of "Huanzhu Gege", of course, we are using the highest peak record of a single episode to break the average national ratings record, but this is also a myth, "Mansion Gate" has not done it!! ”
Wang Zhongjun is now completely embarrassed by Shao Yingying, let's ban him, a good cash cow will become a non-stop, not blocked, how can this convince the public? He is reluctant to sell Shao Yingying's contract to other companies, isn't this equivalent to handing over the entire TV drama market?
"Congratulations, Mr. Yu, with this ratings at the bottom, your ascension is just around the corner." Wang Zhongjun really has no time to chat now, he wants to hang up the phone and rethink immediately.
Yu Shengli said on the phone: "Congratulations, I will rely on your Huayi's help in the future, you can shoot more good things, and we will benefit each other." Okay, Mr. Wang, I'm just telling you the good news, you are busy first, and we will celebrate together when you have time. ”
Hanging up the phone, Wang Zhongjun quickly raised his head and asked Wang Zhonglei, "How is Gao Qunshu's film?" ”
"Very good, "Thirteen Murders" is not bad, but the copyright of the TV series is not sold very well, only a few local stations buy it, and they only buy the broadcast rights, and they do not buy exclusive broadcasts; However, Gao Qunshu made a little profit for us in the sale of audio-visual product rights, and this TV series with a total investment of 5 million probably earned us more than 3 million net profits. ”
Listening to Wang Zhonglei's words, Wang Zhongjun seemed to say to himself: "This is impossible, with the fame of "Conquest" and "Blade 1937", how can Gao Qunshu not hand over this report card...... "If he earns 100, he won't take 80 as money, and with a huge profit of 70 million, it is impossible for Wang Zhongjun to look at the more than 3 million."
"Brother, if you want me to say that this is not bad, after "Conquest", the market for police and gangster films has eliminated the form of one story per episode, Gao Qunshu is another axis, and he has to shoot "Thirteen Murders", you give little money, not to mention that there are no actors who can attract ratings to join, not to mention, and caught up with the two popular TV series "Deep Love and Rain" and "Bright Sword", which almost dominated the entire TV drama market, in this case, it would be good to be able to come up with this report card." Wang Zhonglei defended Gao Qunshu.
Wang Zhongjun grabbed the phone like he didn't believe in evil, he didn't believe that he couldn't cure Shao Yingying, as long as the company could stand up to someone who made him trust someone who could take charge of the TV drama market, he dared to grit his teeth and block Shao Yingying: "I'm Wang Zhongjun, the company is short of manpower now, can you come back and shoot two TV series for the company after filming "Looking for a Gun". ”
The person he is looking for is Jiang Wen, if there is anyone who can perfectly replace Shao Yingying's role in the company now, this person must be Jiang Wen, there is no doubt about it. As long as Jiang Wen is willing to shoot, whether it is market share, popularity, or ratings, the attraction will only be stronger, the only question is, is he willing to shoot?
"This thing ......" Jiang Wen pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Wang, is that stinky boy Shao Yingying causing trouble for you again?" Hasn't he been messing with this mess all the time? ”
He has an appointment, and now he is not only filming "Can't Escape" after filming "Can't Escape", but also filming "Don't Talk to Strangers", and after the two films are finished, he will immediately cross the sea and go to Xiangjiang to play a Xiangjiang movie...... We can't let the TV drama market have 'Huayi is broken', you just say whether you come back or not. ”
"That's okay, but let's say okay first, filming, I don't act, acting is a cameo at most...... Well, there is one last condition, let Shao Yingying write a script for me, I don't want other people's books. This kid, who got such a good book as a bright sword, didn't even say a word, and started it himself, which is too inauthentic. Jiang Wen was joking unknowingly, how did he know that this sentence was tantamount to telling Wang Zhongjun that he was unwilling to come back to film, because if he came back, Wang Zhongjun would block Shao Yingying, so Shao Yingying could still write a script for Hua Yi?
Syllable.
Wang Zhongjun's face was extremely cold at the moment he hung up the phone, Jiang Wen's answer to him was 'no good book, no shooting', he was willing to spend half a year to find a book for Jiang Wen that could satisfy him, but it was not a book that Shao Yingying wanted, which shows that Shao Yingying took out the book that Jiang Wen can look at, just like he made "The Devil is Coming" and "Sunny Day" by himself. It's not easy for you to do this, you find someone to pretend to be Shao Yingying? The banned Shao Yingying still won't go to the court to sue you, and Hua Yi will have to make a big joke at that time.
This is the main reason why Wang Zhongjun hung up the phone, he didn't even persuade him.
When, when, when.
There was a knock on the office door, Wang Zhongjun didn't bother to speak, and finally Wang Zhonglei said, "Come in." ”
The secretary pushed open the door and walked into the office with the car keys and said, "Mr. Wang, Zhang Wan sent back the two cars assigned to them by the company, and even the driver sent them back, you see......"
Touch!
Wang Zhongjun slapped suddenly, pointed to the car key and said, "This is my army!" ”
The secretary was so frightened that she trembled, and she didn't know whether to say the words behind her, and she didn't dare to leave until she finished speaking.
Wang Zhonglei sighed and said, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Mr. Wang, Zhang Wan also said that Shao Yingying is tired, he wants, he wants to rest......"
Wang Zhonglei waved his hand and said, "Let's go out." ”
The whole room fell silent, and at this second, Wang Zhonglei suddenly said, "Brother, I have an idea." ”
"You say."
"Brother, let me ask you, do you want Shao Yingying as a person, or do you want Shao Yingying to create a huge profit for you in the short term."
Wang Zhongjun raised his head and said, "Is there a difference?" ”
"It's a big difference." Wang Zhonglei said sleekly: "I think if this matter is deadlocked, we will lose the most." If you want Shao Yingying to create huge profits in the short term, then give him a number and tell him that as long as he earns this money for Hua Yi, he can cancel the contract and restore his freedom, this kid will do it like a donkey. If you want this person, do you have to turn a blind eye to some things? ”
Wang Zhonglei picked up Wang Zhongjun's water cup and took a sip by himself: "Brother, let's set up a TV drama department specifically for Shao Yingying......"
"If he honestly makes money for Huayi, I will have no problem setting him up." Wang Zhongjun felt that what Wang Zhonglei said was nonsense.
"That's not the case, man. Let's set up this TV drama department for him, and we will also assign market share and profit tasks to the TV series part every year, which is the same as raising artists, if artists can't create enough benefits, it doesn't matter if they make a difference, if they can't create profits, will the company give them a chance? No. ”
Wang Zhongjun felt a little interesting, looked at Wang Zhonglei and said, "Go on." ”
"Let's set a task for Shao Yingying, then the TV series he filmed is the company's full investment, right? Why are we still looking at other people's studios? Now which teacher doesn't make up lessons for children to make extra money, do you see the school management? In this way, Shao Yingying is still making money for the company, so as not to lose four years of profits after the stalemate, as long as he has spare time, what do we care if he doesn't make money by himself? If the profit is created enough, we can do without the three floors of the studio, so how much is it? Even, we can give him the channel for free. Brother, the era when the company regarded artists as cash cows is probably about to pass, not to mention that since our company has two special cases, Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang, you have to allow others to work in this direction. ”
Wang Zhongjun was a little hesitant, raising Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang was because these two people had already accumulated enough qualifications, acting skills, and connections, and they were the same if they left Huayi, Shao Yingying...... He always felt that this was still a kid who signed a contract two years ago.
"Brother, if you don't decide, something big may happen, I heard that Zhang Weiping was contacting Shao Yingying's studio recently, and Zhang Wan ran to Zhu Hai in order to hide from people. What does this mean? We don't force it, and people don't oppose it. ”
……
Coming out of Wang Zhongjun's office, Wang Zhonglei called Fan Yuyi and said very sweetly: "Say, what reward do you want." ”
……
Zhu Hai and Fan Yiyi finished answering the phone and called Wang Jinghua again: "Sister Hua, why do you want me to relieve Shao Yingying?" ”
On the phone, Wang Jinghua said: "Help him out of the siege? It's doing you a favor, you know, silly girl! Who is Wang Zhonglei? With you, it's like holding him in your hands? Do you think your fame will arouse his desire for conquest? There are beautiful women, but at the level of Wang Zhonglei, what they want to conquer is the peak, not the beauty. ”
"Sister, I have to ask you, are you sure you want to take this road? Sister has made you a woman with both beauty and wisdom in Xiao Lei's eyes, how to use this, you should know in your heart. Sister is still the same sentence, no matter what you do, don't go too far, sister can only help you so much. ”
……
In the capital, Wang Jinghua hung up the phone and thought carefully for a long time, and when she picked up the phone again, she said directly into the phone: "Xiao Shao, I, Wang Jinghua." ”
"Oh, Sister Hua, hello, what do you mean by calling me?"
"It's hard to say on the phone, my sister wants to bring you good news, I'll fly to Zhuhai and meet and talk."
Shao Yingying and Fan Yiyi, Wang Jinghua naturally knows who is light and who is heavy, with the current identity of Shao Yingying, it is no longer suitable for Zhang Wan to continue to be his agent, Wang Jinghua has thought of this move since he saw the attitude of the Wang brothers. It is not an exaggeration to say that for the sake of Shao Yingying, she can give up Fan Yiyi in an instant!
