Chapter 571: Talking about renewal
With the popularity of "Love Apartment", not only the audience knows that there is an urban sitcom that is not badly filmed, and even industry insiders have paid attention to it.
Although the ratings of Love Apartment are gratifying, it has not reached the point of explosion, and it is not the ratings champion, so it stands to reason that it will not attract too many people's attention, but it is a fairly good film that has risen.
But the crux of the matter is that "Love Apartment" is a comedy, and the comedies that have risen in China can be made into large-scale feature-length dramas!
This series is to shoot more than 100 episodes, for one or two years, two or three years, etc., it can repeatedly invade the audience's life, and the accumulated word-of-mouth can make more and more people watch it.
And because the time span of the broadcast is relatively large, it affects not only the younger generation, but also the older generation, young people, and three generations of a family can watch it.
And such comedies are also known as "national TV dramas", take the previous "Family with Children" as an example, the actress played well and was called the "national girl".
The actor played well, although he did not have the title of "national son", but at least the national degree was also a bargain.
This kind of national TV series has a great impact on the lives of the audience, and it is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Love Apartment" is only the first part now, and there is no news that the second part will be filmed, but industry insiders will not sit still.
The current results are so good, it would be a fool not to shoot the second part to seize the market.
can mix in the entertainment industry, whether it is an actor or a director, or an investor or producer...... Which one would be stupid?
"Quick, go and find out who the director of "Love Apartment" is, and win over the director, this comedy is likely to be made into a large-scale series!"
In a film and television company, the leader conveyed such an order.
At the same time, other film and television companies also sent their men to investigate when the results of "Love Apartment" broke out.
An employee stared at the title for a long time and muttered, "Why do you feel so familiar with the name of this film?" Like if I've heard it somewhere......"
The other employees couldn't help but think for a moment when they heard this.
"Don't say it, this name sounds a little familiar, as if I was involved in the discussion before."
"No, this film is a temporary adjustment of China Entertainment Satellite TV this year and inserts it into the prime time of the summer. If you have an impression of this film, you have either seen this film, or you have received some news when filming started last year? ”
"Filming started last year...... Oh yes, I remembered! Isn't this a film invested by Xu Jin? The employee who felt very familiar exclaimed.
"Xu Jin?" Another employee also sounded, and suddenly realized: "Yes, isn't this the film invested by Xu Jin, there was a period of trouble last year." ”
"Xu Jin? Wait, I don't understand your dialogue more and more, Xu Jin's investment in the film, there was trouble last year, what's going on? ”
The employee said: "This director found Xu Jin last year and wanted Xu Jin to invest in this film, and the reason why he found Xu Jin was because Xu Jin didn't have a good reputation in the industry at that time?"
said that the vision of picking scripts is very good, if it can be recognized by Xu Jin, that script will definitely be popular!
At that time, the industry was magical, and crews with a lot of small investments found him one after another and handed him the script, hoping that he could take a fancy to him. The director also had the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect to be really taken aback, and Xu Jin also threw money to invest in him. ”
Other employees added: "Then the director had Xu Jin's investment, and he was more confident, so he wanted to shoot a better scene and continue to get investment, so he moved Xu Jin's name out."
Not to mention, he really brought in a group of investors, miscellaneous, this one out of a little and that out of a little money, and the money is enough. Haha, but it's too bad here! ”
This employee sold the guanzi, and the other employees immediately urged him to speak.
The old god of the employee said: "Because the investors are too messy, and they are also relatively small investors, the money is not a small amount for them, so they are afraid of losing money."
was scared, so he found the director one after another and asked him to invite Xu Jin, the largest investor behind "Love Apartment", to shoot this film and television drama, even if it was to play a supporting role. ”
Listening to the lively staff, when they heard this, they heyed: "Then Xu Jin will definitely not agree, how could Tang Ren let Xu Jin act in a small-budget movie?" ”
"It's not, so the talk collapsed, I heard that Xu Jin increased his investment again, and then he also pulled a few friends into the gang, anyway, now watching the ratings of "Love Apartment", he will make a lot of money this time!"
Someone sighed: "I didn't expect that the love apartment would have such a relationship with Xu Jin, last year I heard that the TV series in which Xu Jin participated in the circle were pursued to the point of mythology and superstition."
But if you look at this year, whether it is the movie Xu Jin participated in or the TV series he invested, they are all on fire! You want to say that this is hype, but he is just able to come up with strength data to slap you in the face, and these data are not hyped, others don't know, don't we know? ”
"Yes, Xu Jin was already praised last year, and if the TV series "Love Apartment" can take off and shoot sequels one after another this year, then Xu Jin will be even more amazing."
"That's not it, I didn't dare to guarantee it before, I just wanted Xu Jin to participate in the TV series, but Xu Jin is only one person, and he can only shoot two or three films a year.
But investing in film and television dramas is different, one investment, you can invest in many films, hey, now, there is a good show to watch! ”
On the other hand, Tang Ren is here, the film and television drama "Love Apartment" invested by Xu Jin is on fire, and this news can't be hidden.
Tang Ren's internal agents couldn't help but discuss, speaking of which, they knew about this last year, after all, Director Wei used Xu Jin's name to pull a wave of investors, and the movement was not small.
At that time, they were still watching Xu Jin's jokes to see if Xu Jin would beg the company to let him play a role in it because of this incident.
No one expected that Xu Jin refused without asking, even if other investors withdrew one after another, he increased his investment.
Now that the investment has paid off, judging from the current broadcast volume of "Love Apartment", it is already a fire drama!
There are a total of 20 episodes, and now it's only seven or eight episodes, and it's going to end for a while, before that, the popularity of the love apartment will get higher and higher, and I'm afraid the ratings will gradually climb up.
When He Chuan received the call and walked to the company's high-rise building, the other agents saw him leave and dared to discuss.
"I didn't expect that the film invested by Xu Jin is also so good, I don't know what kind of choice the company will make."
"Needless to say, if I were a company, I would definitely try my best to retain Xu Jin, after all, this artist not only can act, but also has the eye to pick the script, and the eye of investment has also been proven, not bad! If he stays, he's a chicken that lays eggs all the time! ”
"Retention is definitely retained, not to mention Xu Jin's investment problems, let's just say that he picked the script and affirmed his acting skills as an actor, the first brother in the whole company, Xu Jin deserves his name."
Brother Hu is also an actor of Tang Ren, and his acting skills are also very good, and he only won the Golden Palace Award for Best Actor last year.
But Brother Hu is also an excellent actor, with a vision for selecting scripts, as well as a talent for investment, composition and lyrics.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Jin is clearly a demon!
Some agents envied: "How lucky is He Chuan to pick up an artist like Xu Jin." ”
Xu Jin did not have an agent willing to choose at that time, and he was assigned to He Chuan by the company on his own initiative.
He Chuan was short of people, so he took him over, and he didn't think that as soon as he took it, his career ushered in a peak.
As soon as this agent was envious, the other agent said in a weird manner: "It's not necessarily good luck, if Xu Jin is unwilling to stay, the two trump cards in his hand are all gone, what good can it be?" Not bringing a newcomer yet? ”
Although the words are sour, I have to say that what I said is also right.
Wei Zhou is gone, if Xu Jin also follows...... In He Chuan's hands, there are not many famous artists.
In the leader's office, He Chuan tidied up his clothes, took a few deep breaths to calm down, and knocked on the door.
"Enter!"
He Chuan lowered his head and walked in, the leader called him over at this time, and he probably knew what he was talking about.
It's about Xu Jin's contract renewal!
"How's Xu Jin's renewal talk?" The leader asked.
He Chuan said: "I have already talked to him, and he is a little hesitant, saying that he wants to think about it." ”
The leader frowned, "What is there to consider?" The conditions given by Tang Ren are very favorable, not to mention upgrading the contract to a diamond contract, and returning the company's shares! ”
When He Chuan saw the company's renewal of Xu Jinkai's contract, he was surprised at first sight, he actually gave shares? Is this the rhythm that wants Xu Jin to enter Tang Ren's internal management?
After reading the terms clearly, he couldn't help pouting, 3% of the shares, according to Tang Ren's current market value, is only a few million, and it is really ......
Not much.
The proportion of sharing has also been adjusted, and the company takes 30% of the artists and 70%, which is a very good adjustment of the ratio, which is the best proportion in the industry.
But other than that, there is none.
The company did not promise anything about resources, that is, if Xu Jin wanted to go out to find resources by himself, the company could not help vigorously.
So, here's the problem.
Since he can find his own resources, why should he go through the company's three-component accounts?
Isn't it nice to come forward to negotiate with investors yourself?
If it is said that the company's big signboard can provide protection for Xu Jin, then it is easy to say, but the problem is that Xu Jin is also a signboard now, so there is no need to rely on Tang Ren's potential.
There are other large and small preferential treatments, which look good, but there is a core point that has not been brought up-
What can the company bring to Xu Jin?
Xu Jin has made it very clear that he can bring benefits to the company, but in terms of the contract, the company does not clearly bring resources to Xu Jin, although the more famous the actor, the later the company's help will become smaller and smaller.
But this ......
It's also a white wolf with space gloves.
With such a condition, he didn't have to think about it, he knew that Xu Jin would not accept it, not to mention that Xu Jin wanted to terminate the contract in the first place.
So He Chuan didn't mention this matter to Xu Jin at all, not wanting to affect his state of shooting Chibi.
The company chose to talk to Xu Jin at this time, in fact, it is a bit unkind, why do you have to negotiate during the busy filming period, can't you come early?
Maybe the company was in a hurry, and when it saw the fire of "Love Apartment" invested by Xu Jin, it also wanted to get a piece of the pie.
This new contract restricts the artist's foreign investment, and once the investment is made, the company must take a three-percent percentage by default.
This condition is the most excessive one in the entire contract that He Chuan feels.
The artist chooses to participate in the investment, which is his own thing, and the money he takes out is also the money he earns by virtue of his own labor, in this process, Tang Ren did not contribute, so why should he take away 30% of the profits?
You don't bear the harm of the relationship of investment failure, but you must share the money if the investment is successful, this kind of behavior is tantamount to hooliganism.
He Chuan thought for a while, observed the leader's face, and said cautiously: "Xu Jin is filming Chibi now, so he is not concentrating, why don't I go to Hengdian again in a few days and talk to him?" ”
The leader thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take for him to finish filming Chibi?" ”
He Chuan knew what the leader wanted to hear, and said: "The role played by Xu Jin is Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, and this role is still quite heavy, and it is estimated that it will be filmed when Chibi is finished." ”
The leader first frowned, and then couldn't help frowning, "When it's time to shoot?" So how long will this be filmed, and will it not be filmed until next year? ”
He Chuan immediately said: "This is not true, I haven't heard that the movie has been filmed for so long, it is usually three months, and the scale of Chibi is relatively large, maybe four months." ”
The leader frowned: "No, even three months is too late, now in July, after three months it will be October, and there are only two months left until the end of the month." ”
The leader said cautiously: "In this way, you will go to Chibi in September to talk to him about the renewal of the contract." ”
He Chuan responded: "Okay." ”
The leader added: "Everything is mainly appeased, if he has any dissatisfaction, we will try to discuss and discuss, we must let Xu Jin feel our sincerity, all conditions can be discussed, everything!" ”
He Chuan nodded: "Okay, I see." ”
First, a general contract was given, and when the actor saw it and felt that it was not good, he would put forward his own requirements.
According to the actor's request, the company will give another contract, which is a normal company signing routine.
Because the things that the company considers are different from the things that the actors consider, there are some terms that the company values very much, but the actors don't value it much.
What actors value, maybe the company doesn't care.
In any case, from the very beginning, it was impossible for the company to come up with a contract of preferential treatment.
