Chapter 426: Unspoken Rules
"We're looking for Director Zhao." An Ran took the lead to stop the doorman who wanted to come over, and the doorman saw that the five women and two men in this group were extraordinary, and they really didn't dare to stop them.
In addition, Bai Qiaoqiao and the four of the five women were all impressed, so they didn't stick to the end, and muttered and shrank back.
"Mr. Zhou, that's Director Zhao Dazhuang."
Zhou Shuo looked in the direction of Jiang Xiaolu's finger, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the building. He looks exactly like the person in those photos, probably the director Zhao Dazhuang who was in charge of filming this time.
Zhao Dazhuang is not as big and strong as his name, but looks a little unstable with a slender neck and a brain shell. He wore a gray silk waistcoat, and his clothes were like thin bamboo poles with a large cloth bag on his body, and he swayed step by step. There is no fairy style and elegant bones, but there is a feeling of a mouse carrying a gun.
Yet it was such a man, and when he went out into the courtyard, all the girls saluted him with their eyes. There was still some small communication, but it immediately quieted down.
In anticipation of everyone, he stood softly at the door of the tube building. Picking up a form, he cleared his throat and said: "The results of the selection of the heroine of the M2 advertisement of Pan Han Entertainment have come out, and finally we decided to hire ......"
Speaking of this, he paused with some bad taste, and couldn't help but be happy when he looked at the nervous and anxious expressions of the girls outside, and then continued: "Miss Zou Nishang is in charge!" ”
A girl's cry of surprise suddenly sounded in the crowd, and under the silent attention of everyone, she ran over quickly. immediately gave Zhao Dazhuang a big hug.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Zhao!"
In the applause of the people below who disobeyed their will. Zou Nishang took the notice from Zhao Dazhuang's hand. After hard work, she finally got this opportunity, which was too precious for her.
Pan Han Group will charge 15 million in agency fees alone. The first batch of three first-tier cities in China and the second batch of major coastal provinces and sub-provincial cities, the agency fees received by these two batches together went straight to 300 million.
Such a sum of money will be used to promote the Meidong M2, of which the shooting of this set of commercials will cost 800 to 10 million.
This is unimaginable in China in 1996, and even serious movies have invested in this number! The blockbuster with the largest investment in the mainland that year, the costume epic film "Qin Song" starring Ge You and Jiang Wen, was only 40 million if the publicity cost was included, and how much of it was used to make zuò is unknown.
Movies are all like that. What's more, an advertisement? Let these domestic film directors spend the money in more than a minute, and they don't know how to spend it for a while.
But as long as this number is revealed a little, no one does not know that this is certainly the most expensive advertisement in China at the moment. These girls have such a performance foundation, maybe they can really become popular all over the country with advertising.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, don't talk about influence, just talk about the advertisement itself. The cost of making a movie is only used to shoot a commercial of ten seconds and a few minutes at most, how good does it have to be created?
As long as you think about it, how can any actor not be interested.
And that's just the part of the actors, if you talk about the attraction to the singers. Now Fanhan Entertainment has begun to emerge.
A new genuine revenue channel, which is fatal to the attraction of major video companies. Anyway, whether it is a CD or an audio tape, there is no way to sell genuine copies in China, so they don't care that MP3 products may steal this market.
It's like moving ringtones in later generations. In the entertainment industry, channels are often worth more than hard currency. Which singer wants to play a new song and go to a hundred cities to promote it. Maybe it's all the best for mobile companies to give you a free RBT promotion......
And the advertising made by Pan Han Entertainment for the Charm M2 not only has a video, but also an advertising song. This ad song will loop on the phone when the user is singing. Think about who can sing this song, and how much impact it will have on the fans?
It didn't make too many waves in society. This is also the result of the Pan Han Group's deliberate efforts to suppress its influence. In fact, as long as you know the inside story, you don't regard this Pan Han Entertainment advertisement as a shortcut to fame. The possibility of this advertisement becoming famous is greater than that of ordinary movies, and it is worse than the main Chinese New Year film.
Zhou Shuo nodded to Li Jiufeng, and Bai Qiaoqiao separated the crowd of girls outside and let him in. For the sudden intruder, these girls who had been announced out of the game were not hostile, and obediently got out of the way and let him go.
"Hello Director Zhao, I have something I want to ask you about." Zhou Shuo coughed lightly and stood opposite Zhao Dazhuang.
Zhao Dazhuang patted the girl who was still hugging him emotionally and let her let go of her arm. Only then did Zhou Shuo see the girl's appearance up close, and his face instantly became ugly.
"Who are you, young man? This is the office of the studio, and it is not open to the public. ”
Zhao Dazhuang thought it was someone who came to visit the film factory, but he didn't think much about it. He shoots films on weekdays, but he often meets such people who come to join in the fun.
"I would like to ask Director Zhao to explain why this girl was able to get this contract. Also, what is her relationship with you? ”
Hearing Zhou Shuo's question, Zhao Dazhuang's face became stern. He looked Zhou Shuo up and down, shook his head and said, "I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you mean, please leave immediately and don't affect my work." ”
"So what? Director Zhao doesn't know what it means? Zhou Shuo took out the stack of photos from his pocket, opened them in front of Zhao Dazhuang, and asked in a cold voice: "Zou Nishang and you appeared in the hotel together, how do you explain this?" ”
At this time, Zhao Dazhuang also saw the four girls who followed Zhou Shuo, and he didn't know what was going on? "I don't know where you got the photos, but it's a personal matter and I'm not obligated to explain anything to you." We have work to do, so please don't get in the way of our work. ”
Zhou Shuo chuckled lightly and said loudly: "Director Zhao, you are also a well-known director in China, don't you even have a little courtesy, righteousness and shame?" Blatantly unspoken rules actresses, manipulate the selection of actors in commercials, is this worthy of the trust of Panhan Group in you and your artistic accomplishment? ”
Zhou Shuo's question exposed the contradiction, and the girls present immediately chattered behind him. Zhao Dazhuang knew that if he didn't defend himself at this time, he would really have to sit on the charge of unspoken rules. If it's normal, even if it's solid, it's nothing, it's a big deal to be a cultural person.
But this time the commercial was shot for the Pan Han Group, and if the producer knew about it, he would definitely be replaced. Like these actors who are eager to act, why can't he Zhao Dazhuang be greedy for a 10 million budget advertising film?
"I gave special guidance to Miss Zou, and Miss Zou's voice is very distinctive, but her acting skills are poor. As a director, I feel that it would be a pity to exclude her because of this, and this kind of counseling can be regarded as a responsible attitude towards Fanhan Entertainment. ”
"So, Director Zhao doesn't admit to the unspoken rules of existence?"
"What's the unspoken rule, you're slandering my personality!" Zhao Dazhuang snorted coldly: "Who are you?" I'm going to warn you for slander! ”
"Then how do you explain the private conversation with Miss Bai Qiaoqiao? You are the heroine who keeps saying that as long as you are unspoken by your rules, you will praise her as an advertisement. Don't quibble, I have a recording in my hand! ”
Zhao Dazhuang looked at Bai Qiaoqiao who was standing on the side dumbfounded, since this kind of thing is an unspoken rule, of course it is universal. When he got it to the public, he Zhao Dazhuang had a loss, but Bai Qiaoqiao's loss in the future will only be greater! This kind of recording broke out, who would dare to ask her to film!
"How dare you record!" Zhao Dazhuang pointed at Bai Qiaoqiao and said angrily: "I am also a piece of kindness to you, if you don't appreciate it, forget it, you even beat me upside down to calculate me!" ”
"What do you mean by carrying is the unspoken rule?" Zhou Shuo stood between him and Bai Qiaoqiao, and the same horizontal eyebrows said coldly.
He didn't know about these bad things in the entertainment industry in his previous life, but he always thought that Panhan Group was a commercial project this time, and the determination of the candidate had to pass the producer's eyes, and the director's power was not as great as that of the movie. But where would you have thought that Zhao Dazhuang really had no artistic virtues like this, relying on his professional right to intimidate actors.
Zhou Shuo's other concern is that although this is not a corruption problem within the group, it also exposes the shortcomings of the group's own unfavorable supervision. Are there more things like this happening where you don't pay attention?
"Bai Qiaoqiao, you're done!" Zhao Dazhuang was furious and sneered: "As long as I spread the news in the circle, no one will invite you to film anymore!" ”
"Who says there's no one?" Zhou Shuo said: "The advertisement of Fanhan Entertainment was filmed for the four of them!" ”
When Bai Qiaoqiao heard Zhou Shuo's words, the four of them first glanced at each other, and everyone had an unbelievable look in their eyes. When he was sure that he had said this, he immediately cried out happily.
Zhao Dazhuang was stunned, as if he had seen a group of crazy people, and sneered: "How old are you, can you be the master of the Panhan Group?" I'm a director, and the producer has to respect my opinion. I said I don't need them, who dares to use them? ”
"Then I'll remove you, and then there will naturally be a new director to use them." Zhou Shuo said lightly.
Zhao Dazhuang smiled arrogantly: "Who are you when you are?" The boss of Pan Han Group? ”
Before Zhao Dazhuang's laughter fell, Yu Juan suddenly ran in from outside the courtyard, and before she could even breathe, she said coldly: "That's right, he is the boss of Fanhan Group!" (To be continued......)
