Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Earth-shattering First Step
"Mr. Wang, you must not move out of this office, this office will always be yours, no matter what your position is."
On the first day of entering Huayi, Shao Yingying saw that Wang Zhongjun was moving his office, and Shao Yingying, who had just become the chairman of Huayi, immediately stopped him. For him, it really doesn't matter the size of the office, it doesn't matter if it is Chaoyang or not, even if Wang Zhongjun's office is given to him, what can he do? Don't you still live the same life? But leaving this office to Wang Zhongjun is completely different, which can prove that he Shao Yingying is not here to be the king of the mountain, and he does not have the idea of kicking the Wang brothers out of the game, at least it can make people feel at ease.
"Xiao Shao, it's just an office, I, Wang Zhongjun, won't be ...... because of an office"
Shao Yingying interrupted and said, "That's right, since Mr. Wang also knows that this is just an office, then don't bother anymore." ”
He turned his head and said to the clerk who helped Wang Zhongjun move Wen Jiàn out: "A few of you, put all the things of Mr. Wang back in their original places, and take back the things that have been moved to Wang Jinghua's original office, and I will go to Wang Jinghua's office in the future, and Mr. Wang's office will not be moved at any time." ”
A few words were said beautifully, which not only maintained Wang Zhongjun's face, but also let other people in the company know that he Shao Yingying did not mean to kill everything.
"Mr. Wang, let's go to a meeting together?"
This is what Shao Yingying said next, because this meeting of Huayi Company will determine the direction of the company in the future.
The moment Shao Yingying and Wang Zhongjun walked into the conference room together, Wang Zhongjun habitually walked towards the main seat. Walking to the position that was almost close to the chair, Wang Zhongjun suddenly stopped and turned his body over in a stiff posture. Some sat uncomfortably on the left-hand side next to the main seat.
Shao Yingying, who saw this qi in his eyes completely, did not speak, he could ask Wang Zhongjun not to move the office, but he could not give up his position.
Shao Yingying, who walked to the main seat and sat down, looked at the people in the conference room with a smiling face, Wang Zhongjun was sitting on his left, Wang Zhonglei was on his right, these two brothers are basically empty shells now, and down are Cheng Long in charge of the editing department, Niu Wa in the photography department, Du Liang in the screenwriting department and Ning Hao in the directing department, naturally. and Zhang Wan from the actor department. This is the division of Huayi's departments, Shao Yingying canceled the classification of all film and TV series employees in Huayi Company as 'staff', and divided it into four departments according to the type of work. Although there are only a few people under these four departments now, this is the skeleton of a company.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first meeting I attended as the chairman of Huayi, and I hope that we can cooperate tacitly in the future cooperation process."
A sense of solemnity that made people uncomfortable appeared. In your own studio. Shao Yingying can point at Zhang Wan's nose and scold his mother, and this group of people dare to tease him to put the role of 'little bastard' on his head, and now, this qiē is impossible.
"Before the meeting begins, I will announce a plan, that is, all of our Huayi artists will be listed on the 'Huayi Performing Arts Network' with real value." After Shao Yingying said this, what he saw was the questioning gaze of the entire conference room: "You must all want to know what 'Huayi Performing Arts Network' is, before that, I want to ask a question." Zhang Wan, you have also been an assistant director of several TV series. You tell me how a director looks for actors after he sets up a group? ”
Zhang Wan's words made the entire conference room laugh: "It's you who sued us!" ”
Airplanes.
Everyone in the conference room was happy, because this was not a joke, the staff of Shao Yingying's studio may have been introduced by a few people present, but the actors are really Shao Yingying's generals. These people also wondered how Shao Yingying could light a fire.
"That's the problem!"
Shao Yingying also laughed, but after his smile retracted, he said to Ning Hao again: "Lao Ning, you can talk about it." ”
Ning Hao laughed a few times and said: "That's the case, the first thing the director should do when he has a script is to find investment, and then he will build a team and determine the actors at the main creative meeting." Setting an actor is a very annoying errand, often the actor you fancy is either not the same as the actual price, or there is no schedule, and the most hateful thing is that sometimes you can't remember who should play the role. Now there is a profession in our circle that was not common before, which is an actor and director. This kind of person is familiar with everyone in the circle, even if the director sees an actor on TV who he is not familiar with, he can find it for you; In addition to the actor director, the director can only ask from the actors and staff who have worked with the actors, and once there is a suitable one, he must also check the family tree to ask some questions about the director who has worked with the actor, such as whether the actor is not good to work with, what the play is like and so on; The most reliable should be Director Feng Xiaogang's team, his protagonists are basically Ge You and Xu Fan, and everyone else belongs to the category of acting as long as they can keep up with the rhythm, so in the future circle, famous directors should not only have their own crew, but also actors. ”
This has always been a problem in the circle, directors with good books and investments can't find actors from time to time, and actors can't find directors even more, and finally fell in love with an actor, and I have to fight with the agent Haha, after a slip of thirteen tricks, the matter was not negotiated, but a lot of work was put in. If you run into an agent who is stubborn and refuses to bargain, the director can be angry to death.
In fact, this is also the value of the agent's savings in the circle, and other celebrities can't talk about money with your director, right? Regardless of acting in commercial films, literary films, or TV series, which actor does not claim to be playing art? Playing art and talking about money is not only indispensable, but when the director has a few good words, and the salary is cut, then acting in a scene is not only about losing money and making money? Therefore, it is best for the agent to come forward, no one can offend the actor, and the director does not have to be polite, but also plays a bitter love scene.
"Understood?" After Ning Hao finished speaking, Shao Yingying said: "This is the barrier between the company, the crew and the actors, with an agent, even if it is an agent of your own company." Every one of us in the room couldn't talk directly to the actors. ”
"From the beginning of my studio, I knew that the studio would definitely become a trend in the future, and sooner or later, the behavior of the agency sucking the blood of artists would be revolted by the entire entertainment industry. At that time, every studio will represent an artist, and the agency will collapse if it loses the support of big names, even if the big-name actors still use agents, it is just a tool to help actors bargain and contact work. Shao Yingying said calmly: "Since this model will be eliminated sooner or later, why don't we simply leapfrog to the next step?" ”
Shao Yingying wants to talk about the main topic: "This is what I said about Huayi Performing Arts Network." ”
"A few days ago, I acquired a video site, and there are not only popular TV series on the site. There are also some movies and videos recorded by ordinary people, which are very interesting, I thought at the time. Why can't this video site work for our company? For example, I am creating a website, where the information of actors, their worth, and so on are clearly marked on the Internet, so that the price code, which should not be mysterious, is made public! Shao Yingying stretched out his hand and picked up the pen on his desktop and said: "Then, the director doesn't have to worry about finding actors in the future." Flipping the face of the star on our website will do it. If you think this star is expensive, just take a look at the connection video of the TV series he has acted in below to see if this person is worth the price, if you are not satisfied, you can continue to look for it, which is time-saving and effortless. ”
"In this way, our website is the broker, and no one has to quarrel with you. Our website even has a schedule of the actors ready for you, and the service is considerate. ”
Speaking of which. The eyes of everyone present lit up, the appearance of this website is definitely a pioneering achievement, not only for the actors and directors, but even for the company to be much easier, at least to avoid the tongue of sales, open the website to find the actor you are looking for, you have a qiē, you want to know the performance style and watch the TV series videos directly.
"I know what you're asking." Shao Yingying smiled and said, "Do you want to know how to make a profit?" ”
"It's very simple, we will classify the actors, just score according to the ratings, if the ratings are low, then half the points, the ratings are high, or the box office is high, we can draw one-tenth, like Wang Baoqiang, Chen Sicheng, Tong Yali, Sun Li, the pillars who have just transferred from Shao Yingying to the company, can even only take the cost of one episode of TV series."
Wang Zhonglei said disdainfully: "That's it? ”
"So little?" Shao Yingying asked rhetorically: "If I sue you, I have already contacted the Beijing Film Academy, Chinese opera, Shangju and other famous universities in the country, and their new students will help us promote this website, every student will register an account on this website, and there will be a special area for temporary performances, do you still think it is less?" All you see is money, what I put in Huayi's hands is resources! ”
Wang Zhonglei changed his attitude, and he also saw the prospect: "Extras shouldn't be easy to control, right?" ”
"So we have to turn the group leaders into a job, their job is to help us determine the specific number of performances in our hands every day, and we have to sign at least the ten most famous group leaders in Beijing, only in this way can we stand on our feet, even if there is a shortage of performances, we can get people to film."
"Xin Baoyuan, Huayi, Pony Galloping, and Guangguang Media have agreed to put the artists up, and the major drama troupes in Beijing have settled in this website, and the name of this website will be remembered by all directors and investment companies. Because we can let the crew who are short of money can select actors among the students of major colleges and universities, not so bad for money, and can also find suitable people for the role among the actors of major repertory troupes, and even those who have money can directly set the time for the big names to appear in the film online according to the schedule, as long as both parties agree, the performance fee will be collected on the website, and it will not be issued until the end of the cooperation between the two parties is satisfied. ”
"Mr. Wang, when this behemoth appears in front of the directors and investors, are the actors taken away by Wang Jinghua of Orange Sky Entertainment still heavy?"
Wang Zhongjun is completely speechless, if Shao Yingying can really stir up this website, unless every movie and TV series under Orange Sky can be launched, otherwise, their actors will not matter. Over time, when investors and directors get used to looking for actors on Huayi Performing Arts Network, then only investment companies and Huayi Performing Arts Network will be left in the whole world, and other obstacles will be completely cleared!
Who is this Shao Yingying, and how does his brain grow? Why are there always these novel ideas? Why does Wang Zhongjun feel that this man is getting more and more terrible when these ideas do not appear in the script but in the real world!
Call.
Shao Yingying, who had said so much, breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Of course, this website will become more and more perfect, there will be information about the crew looking for actors, actors looking for new plays from the crew, and the actors and crew will leave messages and ask each other under the information, etc., and the website will do the problem of verifying the authenticity of the crew, and even technical masters like Niu Wa and Cheng Long, who are only concerned by insiders, will also appear on the website." And I, in the next few days, I will wholeheartedly fight our Huayi, I will shoot a TV series as a director, and a movie as an actor, both of which are invested by our Huayi. ”
It's not that Shao Yingying doesn't want to do such a big thing by himself, but he doesn't have the credibility of the 'Huayi' brand at all, with this brand, Huayi Performing Arts Network can shine, if there is no such brand, Shao Yingying Performing Arts Network will be scolded as a liar!
