Chapter 19: Prove Yourself

There is only one explanation for closed-door soup, which means that the door is closed, which comes from the "Yunxian Miscellaneous Records", which says that when a Xuancheng-prostitute-woman meets an inferior guest, she will reward a bowl of soup, indicating that she refuses, and the guest will retreat when she sees the soup.

Shao Yingying didn't expect that after the Huayi sponsor appreciation dinner, he would encounter a closed door for the second time, and this closed door soup made people want to laugh very much, that is, Wang Zhongjun's secretary said that he went to work as a producer for Feng Xiaogang and was not in the capital.

Shao Yingying didn't make any noise, turned around and left the company, very calmly.

This lie doesn't need to be exposed at all, Shao Yingying, who filmed "Big Names", knows it!

He knew what Wang Zhongjun was getting stuck in, and he knew why he was stuck in it, but now Shao Yingying is no longer the Shao hero of the past, and at this time, he can no longer be soft.

Obviously, Wang Zhongjun is still angry about the budget overrun, and even more angry, Shao Yingying refused to give in, but rose to the challenge, and invested money to get all the overruns, not to mention, but also invested half. Since you are so capable, then you will do the rest by yourself, and the whole film will not be handled by you from review to contacting the seller Wang Zhongjun, and you will simply be the shopkeeper.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for a big boss of a company to do this, no matter how much fault the artist is, after all, there is still 10 million invested by the company, not to mention that the artist is taught, and few artists can figure out everything when they first debut. But Wang Zhongjun just wants to say goodbye to Shao Yingying, what he wants is that Shao Yingying has been deflated one after another in the relevant departments, and he can't even review it, and in the end he can't be found to be soft? When the time comes, everything will be in time, Hua Yiyou will not wait for this TV series to start.

That's why I avoided this scene.

Out of the company's gate, Shao Yingying called Wang Zhongjun, the content of the phone was very simple, a total of two sentences: "Mr. Wang, I came back from Jinzhong, the film Cheng Long is cutting, it will take about half a month to a month to cut it, you see what happens after that......"

"Well, I don't have time to ...... "Big Names" now, which is busy with group building preparations, Xiao Shao, if you're not in a hurry, I'll talk about it in two days."

Can Shao Yingying not be in a hurry? Cheng Long's craftsmanship he knows, and the previous script is designed according to the ease of editing, and the editing speed must be very fast, oh, if you have to wait until "Big Shot" starts filming, how long will you have to wait? There will be publicity after the filming of "Big Shot" starts, and there will be a release after the publicity, and it will not be his turn to Shao Yingying tomorrow: "Mr. Wang, can I ...... it"

"You can do it."

Shao Yingying meant that he could contact the relevant departments of the company and use the company's channels to submit for review and publicity, but Wang Zhongjun's last sentence obviously blocked all roads, and the sentence 'you look at it' clearly means that he wants to press "Bright Sword" to the company and not deal with it for the time being.

Whether it is treating an artist or a film, not dealing with it for the time being is the cruelest punishment in the world, as long as it is judged by this sentence, it means that it will go through dark years, and whether the film can be released in the end depends on how the people in the film mix, and whether they have the ability to solve this problem in the future. Otherwise, there are countless films that die on the four words 'temporarily unprocessed' in China every year, especially in the relevant departments, which is more ruthless than 'failing to pass the review'.

If you follow Shao Yingying's previous mentality, this is equivalent to running into a big problem, he has no way to submit it for review, and he has no distribution channels, and he smashed 10 million yuan into "Bright Sword" like a loser, not to mention the big bubbles on the fire this time.

Now, after Shao Yingying heard 'you look at it', he relaxed.

The reason why he was not in a hurry was that Wang Zhongjun said, 'You look at it'!

Sitting in the car, Shao Yingying took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Wan: "Brother Zhang, what are you busy with?" ”

"What's wrong with me? You're about to join the group again, and I'm an idler again. ”

Shao Yingying continued expressionlessly: "Did I do what I told you?" ”

"Then I dare to forget? On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I will give gifts to the people you talked about one by one, Liu Peiqi, Siqin Gao Wow, Chen Daoming, Jiang Wen, Gao Qunshu, Guo Baochang...... Don't worry, I haven't forgotten any of them, I gave them to everyone who has a relationship with you, and I even ran to Sun Honglei. For the sake of gifts, I didn't even look at my mother-in-law, and your sister-in-law complained about me for a whole month! ”

Shao Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you." By the way, Brother Zhang, are you at home? I'm going to pick you up now, and you have to go with me to Panjiayuan. ”

"What are you doing there?"

"Do you remember that there is a bird cage in Guo's house?"

"Yes?"

"Definitely, I can't be mistaken. There are no bird food cans in the bird cage in Guo's hometown, and the bottom of the Coke bottle is still used, you go and buy two bird food cans with me. ”

Zhang Wan exploded when he heard this, he still remembered the last time he gave Guo Baochang a gift: "You have to be honest with me, are you in trouble again?" ”

"No, how can it, Brother Zhang, hurry up and prepare to go out, I'll be at your house."

Shao Yingying's reason for looking for Guo Baochang is very simple, he wants a channel!

Why do artists set up studios?

It must be to be free, not to be bound by a brokerage company, and not to be sucked by people's blood. Without channels in your hands, what freedom are you talking about?

At present, the domestic environment is not very good, and many TV stations are accustomed to contacting major companies, and the channels will not be easily opened. This is not quite the same as the form of future development, in the future, TV dramas will become a commodity, and there will be all kinds of TV drama fairs in major cities in China, TV stations that are not self-sufficient and unwilling to spend a lot of money to buy high-quality TV dramas will often pick up leaks in the trade fairs, who will let each TV station have a lot of time to fill in within 24 hours, otherwise when everyone goes to work during the day, the TV station will not lose money if it broadcasts high-priced TV dramas? How can there be advertisements at the door? Who doesn't stare at prime time?

In fact, this is how the theaters of various TV stations come in the future, the rebroadcast of TV dramas in the morning or the whole afternoon is to fill the time, and most of the TV series they choose to replay are TV series that have been broadcast more than three times, after all, many TV dramas in China have a strange circle of first broadcast ratings, second broadcast continues to be popular, and three broadcasts are exhausted, no matter how well-made the TV series after the third round of broadcasting, the price of being sold in the end is so low that people can't believe it, is "Bright Sword" popular enough? Is "Mansion Gate" popular enough? Do you know how much these two dramas sell after three rounds? The price of each episode is not more than 10,000!

The result of this situation is that the investment in TV dramas is getting lower and lower, and there are fewer and fewer high-quality products, even if they can't land on the prime time, TV stations still have countless time periods to be on, and slowly, the entire TV drama market will change from a ratio of supply and demand to oversupply, and in the end, TV stations have become uncles, one by one, they bent their legs to find out a person with good connections and excellent production quality from a bunch of TV dramas, and they are desperate to reduce prices. Why is this getting worse? It's very simple, the TV station can rebroadcast the classic TV series to ensure that the audience does not change the channel after the TV series' ratings decline, and can also rely on the reputation of the old TV series to continue to pull advertisements in the blank time during the day, with these two points, it is impossible for them to spend a lot of money to buy new TV series during the day, and it is okay to buy a TV series that can support the eight o'clock in the evening in each time period, who doesn't want to save money?

Right now?

Similar trade fairs actually exist, but they are all decorations, and really high-quality TV dramas are still produced by companies that cannot appear, and those trade fairs are just a place where a group of directors and producers who are not organized to fight alone will go, and the real big buyers will not appear there, unless they buy TV dramas that fill the time. Even in the future, top stations such as CCTV and Mango will not go. Shao Yingying is even more unlikely to go, if he goes, he will lose his adult, Huayi's films can't be sold and will be displayed at the exhibition, so won't his peers laugh off their big teeth?

Didn't Hua Yi let Shao Yingying watch it himself?

Then Shao Yingying really has to watch it himself!

Before, he was able to bend down to Wang Zhongjun and Hua Yi because he didn't have enough confidence, but now although his confidence is also not very sufficient, there is a Gao Yuanyuan and a studio that is not mature at all, which does not allow him Shao Yingying to bow his head to Hua Yi again, otherwise in the future, Hua Yi will have to do whatever he asks him to do, so what is the use of the studio?

Where does the autonomy of artists come from?

Li Lianjie once repeatedly mentioned two words when he was interviewed by a talk show, and these two words are - data.

The reason why Feng Xiaogang has so much say and autonomy in Huayi is because he has data, or he has already come up with data that makes people have to make concessions when Huayi has not yet started.

Shao Yingying is not fighting against Hua Yi by doing this, and he is not qualified to fight against Hua Yi, but it is impossible to straighten his waist if he wants to bow up after he is soft to Hua Yi now, only by first taking out enough data to convince Hua Yi that he has autonomy, at that time, Shao Yingying can create a brand by himself and start this brand through Huayi's channels. Otherwise, why should an artist who can't make achievements in an environment where no one supports him use Huayi's channels? Why does Huayi give you autonomy?

In 2001, there were so many artists who had autonomy in China, such as Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, etc., did others dare to cut a film for nine months? Jiang Wen dared, and "The Devil is Coming" was cut for nine months; Do others dare to take two years from preparing a movie to forming a group and starting to shoot? Zhang Yimou dared, "Hero" was produced in this situation; Not to mention Feng Xiaogang, Hua Yi didn't say that it was almost the same as what their house opened, what he wanted to shoot, how to shoot, Wang Zhongjun didn't bargain at all.

Shao Yingying wants this kind of freedom!

Shao Yingying wants to be tough, and after he gets hard, he has the data and proves his ability, then he will not be soft, but choose to reconcile. In the face of an artist who is capable and can create value, as long as Wang Zhongjun is given a step at this time, Shao Yingying's status in Huayi will be completely different. With the right to speak and a studio, Shao Yingying can at least get rid of his shackles, and getting rid of shackles during the contract period is something that every artist wants, and even some people have the same luxury as Shao Yingying not to offend their old club.

Picked up Zhang Wan, the car drove to Guo Baochang's home, in the long journey of nearly an hour, Zhang Wan talked as much as possible, what 'why didn't you let me pick you up', 'why are you in a hurry to find Guo Lao as soon as you come back', he just didn't ask any 'what was going on before and was so anxious to use money'.

It is not only Wu Rustbo who is mature, but even Zhang Wan is maturing step by step, and he even reported the entire decoration of the studio to Shao Yingying in detail, but he never got to the bottom of it.

"Brother Zhang, you've been in this circle for so long, do me a favor."

Zhang Wan became alert when he heard this, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Help me make an appointment with Lao Wu."

Zhang Wan was stunned for a moment and felt that there was nothing to worry about in this matter, so he asked, "Wu Rustbo?" ”

"Hmm." Shao Yingying replied calmly, at this time, the car had already heard Guo Baochang's downstairs.

The time has come to prove yourself.
