Chapter 201: If you are not careful, you will be worth hundreds of millions

With that complicated look, Bai Shiqiu returned to the capital.

He had a strange feeling in his heart, which was not good and inexplicable. But soon he couldn't bother with any mood, and a lot of things came to him.

"Big Brother Bai! That, I, I can't act in a drama! ”

Bao Qiang, the kid came to his big brother Bai first, didn't our Red Star want to rehearse the drama version of "Soldier Assault", this kid really can't act.

On stage, his legs are shaking, there is no way, filming TV dramas and movies is actually very different from dramas, dramas are directly facing the audience, Bao Qiang has no professional training in this area, he naturally can't hold on.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a different person." Bai Shiqiu just wanted to try it at first.

"Big Brother Bai! You're so good! What a good man! "It's true.

Lao Bai blushed a little.

After that, I had to shoot "Lao Pao'er", when this movie was first established, it was because it was because it was to make a film that ensured profitability, and at that time, there was really no bottom for some of Red Star's projects, but where did I think that I could bluff that guy too much, and I got it now.

The original purpose is not established, the situation of Red Star is very good, this "Lao Paoer" has simply become a dispensable work, but since it has been made, in line with the principle that Red Star's production must be a high-quality product, Lao Bai will still attach great importance to it.

The actor found Feng Xiaogang, but he still used some means, as for the heroine, when I first watched this original movie, Bai Shiqiu was really amazed by Xu Qing's performance, and this Princess Xu was really amazing.

But there is no such condition at the moment, and there are other conditions, so let's just say that the heroine is Xu Fan.

How good, Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan not only took care of face, but also saved money.

Your wife used to have an eye-to-eye with Uncle Ge, but now there is a chance for the two of you to show affection on the screen, are you embarrassed to ask for money?

Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and of course, our Red Star will give a suitable salary very conscientiously.

Xu Fan was very happy, while Feng Xiaogang felt that he had stepped into more than one suit.

So before he came back, Zhang Mo called him a lot, most of which were some thoughts of Mr. Zhang Guoli.

Teacher Zhang Guoli said, Feng Xiaogang said, your red star is too inauthentic.

Teacher Zhang Guoli said that the movie was good, and his wife was very happy, but she couldn't be so tricky.

Teacher Zhang Guoli said that Feng Xiaogang was going to be broken.

Bai Shiqiu just told Zhang Mo that since he can say this, it means that your father has already done these things.

Zhang Moyi was also right, so he was even more fearless, narrowing his small eyes and smiling.

There is naturally no problem with "Lao Paoer", and Bai Shiqiu and Zhang Mo will both act, and his role as Lao Bai is also very simple, that is, he is responsible for pretending to be forced, which is what he is good at.

It's the end of the year, and 2004 was definitely a very important year for Red Star Production, a year in which their young people made an astonishing progress.

In Lao Bai's words, that is, we have made a lot of money.

The premiere right of "Soldier Assault" is 28 million, which is not counting the replay rights after that, and the income is quite huge.

The premiere rights of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are 20 million, and the rebroadcast rights after that are sold very well, with an overall record of about 30 million.

"Hello, Maniac" got close to 30 million in dividends, and there are other copyright sales, such as selling to TV stations, and video discs, which actually exceed 30 million.

These are all relatively large projects of Red Star at present, and there are also many projects, concerts, music festivals, Dongxing Purchase, Red Star Base Small Theater, these investments really cost a lot of money, and the tens of millions that Bai Shiqiu got before were almost all smashed out.

But now look at it...... Hey, we guys can really toss.

Not counting the previous ringtones, dramas and other projects.

These entries are calculated in a mess, and then some individual taxes and other costs are deducted, and all aspects are shared, especially after some projects that still have to invest money and can't make money.

Bai Shiqiu's year is really not in vain, nearly 100 million.

Are we billionaires at such a young age?

Hiss~

I have the urge to make waves.

But think about it, it's better to keep a low profile, and in addition, some of our Red Star things can be done now.

The small theater in the Red Star base is already listed for business.

The business is still good, it is a black box theater itself, there are not many seats, and most of the experimental works of Chinese opera students are usually staged, of course, there are also some works of Red Star himself.

Coupled with the rise of cultural tourism in the hutongs of Beijing, people who come from the south to the north, travel, and come to visit Chinese opera, when they come to this vicinity, they see such an obvious signboard as a red star, and come in to watch the play and feel the drama culture, which is really a good enjoyment.

There are some small shops around here, drink coffee, buy some children's books to read, and feel that they are very literary and artistic, which is very good.

But today is a little different, after the performance, there are still a lot of people gathered in this theater, one by one are still very popular characters at the moment, they are all the main members of Red Star.

"Lao Bai, what are you calling our big guys for?"

"Yes, it's the end of the year, do you want to give everyone benefits?"

"Or are there any new plans?"

"By the way, what about the new film? What about the new drama? ”

The big guy sat in the audience, and Bai Shiqiu, the guy, appeared on the stage, looking at each other with a smile.

Wan Qian was also in the audience, but she knew about this matter relatively early.

"Are you really going to do that?"

"Isn't it good?"

"It's kind of weird."

"What's strange?"

"I heard that other big companies want what kind of deed of sale, what kind of restrictions are there, you can get it, and come the other way around."

"Qianqian, let me tell you, that kind of deed of sale or something, all kinds of restrictions, this itself is a big problem, and this model will soon become obsolete, I promise you, now some companies seem to be strong, but in a few years, they will not be in the limelight."

"Huh? So what about you? ”

"It's not necessarily good, but at least it can solve some problems."

To be honest, Wan Qian is not too optimistic about Lao Bai's moves, but she doesn't know too much, so let's toss with Lao Bai in this regard, this ......

I don't know why, Wan Qian has a strange feeling about knowing this in advance.

Very hostess feeling.

Thinking of this, I can't help but blush a little.

So today, what does Bai Shiqiu want to say to the big guy?

"Everyone!" This guy can be regarded as the beginning, on the stage, he has a feeling of performance, fortunately, he is very old-fashioned: "Looking for the big guy today, that is, let's talk about our Red Star and the members, our future." ”

Future?

Everyone is a little confused.

The future is very good, think about it, our big guy has just left school, and his career has just started in others, but our Red Star people have a very high start.

In this case, what is there to talk about in the future, it is absolutely beautiful to continue to develop like this.

But Bai Shiqiu didn't think so, he continued, "Our current situation is very good, just this year, we can get at least one or two hundred thousand here, and more than one million, which is quite good, and the future will definitely be very good." But I think our future should be better! Then, we have to think about the relationship between Red Star and everyone. ”

Relationship?

At this time, everyone really paid attention to it, and also really thought about it.

The relationship between Red Star and everyone seems to be a little different.

is already in this circle, so naturally I know more, now many celebrities give big companies and big companies, and there are many companies in the circle, they are looking for people, basically a contract model.

This is a very common deed of sale.

Many celebrities have a very glamorous appearance, but in fact, everything is given to the company, although they make a lot of money, but they are also easy to be suppressed by the company, and many stars are blocked and refrigerated, which is not uncommon.

Especially when I heard more about Hong Kong and Taiwan, there were a lot of rumors about all kinds of unspoken rules, don't look at how powerful the star is, but if you dare to go against the will of the big boss, it will be over.

We Red Star is not like this, of course, we are all classmates, and he can't do it...... Right?

What should I do if Lao Bai loses it?

He's not that kind of person, is he?

Bai Shiqiu didn't know this, he just said his thoughts, "Our Red Star is developing very well, and I have decided now that we should make some reforms." My idea is this, our Red Star Troupe, the most important physical assets now is this Red Star base, the base is the base, and the others, I think Red Star should exist as a similar holding company, everyone owns the shares, or you don't occupy it, and Red Star does the project, that is, the performance and filming, then naturally the corresponding remuneration will be given, and you can also take over the drama of other companies, which our Red Star will not delay anyone, that is to say, everyone is free, you are all free. ”

Freedom, this is the most attractive part of the reform that Bai Shiqiu said, but some people feel that this seems to have drawbacks.

"Lao Bai, don't you want to care about us anymore?"

"yes, you kid is awesome now, and then you don't want us?"

"Hahaha...... Possibly! ”

But there are also more people who think that this is a pretty good idea, isn't it a hundred times stronger than those who signed the deed of sale?

"I think it's good, freedom, you can come and go."

"Yes, but...... Lao Bai, are you really okay like this? ”

"Yes, Lao Bai, can you tell everyone the reason why you are doing this?"

Many people, for a reason.

Bai Shiqiu has actually thought about it a long time ago, and the key is that he is very aware of the future development of the entertainment industry.

At present, there are indeed many companies that are very awesome, let's just say Shuangli's Rongxin, which is also the existence of the limelight for a while, Huayi's Wang brothers, how much can fool and how much can do the whole thing, two new pictures, all kinds of blockbusters and big investment.

But what happened?

The past is gone, and the scenery is not there.

The reason is also very simple, because large companies, even if they are like Huayi, can be fooled to the point that they don't need their own money to film, but their costs are still high.

Later, many companies simply broke up into parts, and if they wanted to shoot a scene, they all pulled people outside to shoot, the director, screenwriter and cameraman, other members of the crew, and the main actors, all of them were found outside, and the group performance went to Hengdian to fish, and the company itself had nothing, just one thing.

Money.

Funds, just have this, because everything you need for a project can be found out, and the market is very open, just like a supermarket, pick and choose.

The benefits of this approach are very obvious and the cost is low.

In fact, because some conditions are ripe, for example, the progress of technology, many things are cheaper, or everyone can buy them, such as photography, the photographer can build his own studio, the machine is his, and there is no need for the crew to rent outside.

The most interesting thing is the graphic photographer, their studio is a big box, this box is worth tens of millions, it is full of lenses, as long as his box is there, with a computer, he can continue to pick up work.

The same is true for other professions, just like the lamp masters, just like the makeup artists, they come out to do it themselves, and the cost is lower.

Bai Shiqiu saw this change in his eyes, and he later learned that there was a very lofty word that could explain this change.

Social division of labor.

The simple truth of economics is that when our market changes, there will be such a division of labor.

Of course, there are disadvantages to such a development, and it will naturally appear that there will be many bad movies.

Later film and television dramas, it is really like picking things in the supermarket and combining them, it will appear very naturally, bad directors meet bad screenwriters and then combine with small fresh meat, fortunately, there are still relatively few extreme bad movies, after all, it is not easy to find all of these, but the probability is much greater.

This is the reason why Bai Shiqiu wants to reform like this, anyway, it will happen, it is better to be earlier, and it is okay, he can at least prevent the appearance of some bad movies.

It's just that such a reason is unspeakable, so Bai Shiqiu prepared a set of words, a set of very lofty words.

On the stage of the Red Star Base, Bai Shiqiu faced everyone, relaxed and talking.

"The big guy wants a reason, it's good, I'll tell you about this reason. Actually, it's very simple, the reason is those two words, freedom. Simple, right? But in fact, it is not simple, because freedom is the fundamental feature of our literary and artistic creation, and we can only produce more and better works in a free atmosphere. But freedom must also be constrained, freedom is power, then it has to bear relative obligations, there is no absolute freedom in this world, that is rotten freedom, it is deceptive. Now, our reform is to be able to create more freely, we create a system, we carry out reforms, for freedom, for art. ”

Bang Bang Bang ......

As soon as the words fell, applause rang out.

Wan Qian took the lead first and gave Lao Bai a thumbs up, and after that, the applause became more and more enthusiastic.

Especially when Bai Shiqiu finally said, everyone has been busy for a year, let's go have fun at the end of the year, Hainan vacation, and the company will reimburse.

The applause was even stronger.

This statement about freedom was later widely spread in the entertainment industry......
