Bai Xiaoling used to like to chase dramas and listen to songs, and she also has her favorite stars.

Although I don't follow dramas and listen to songs much now, I have such feelings after all.

It's exciting to have the opportunity to meet my former idols.

The names of several celebrities had already reached her lips, but she glanced at Yan Xin and swallowed them again - because those stars were male stars, she was afraid that Yan Xin would be unhappy if she said it.

hesitated for a moment and said the names of several female stars.

There are singers, there are those who act in TV series, and those who are hosts.

Among them, there are really people Zeng Yan can date.

smiled and said to her: "The two coffee spots you said are too big, and our company's business can't reach their level at the moment." However, there are still appointments available, and there is a chance to arrange a meeting between you. ”

She said who she could date, idols who belonged to the new generation.

Bai Xiaoling was very excited: "Okay! Let's leave a phone number, and when the time comes, Sister Zeng, you call me, and I will rush back even if I am abroad. ”

She's in charge over there, and she has free time to spend her time, so it's perfectly fine to come back for a few days if she wants to be lazy.

Zeng Yan said her mobile phone number, Bai Xiaoling wrote it down, dialed her back, and said, "The number with the mantissa 1053 is mine." ”

Both of them have business cards, but the mobile phone number on the business card is used for work, and it may not be turned on during non-working hours.

Private numbers will remain on 24 hours a day.

Zeng Yan did not send the three of them home directly, but first dragged them to a high-end restaurant for a meal before sending them home.

During the meal, Zeng Yan also told Yan Xin about the investment project that she had found here during this time.

There are a lot of projects, but basically some newcomers come to try their luck, and there are no famous directors or star projects.

Although they all spoke very nicely, Zeng Yan knew that if she really believed their nonsense, she would have to pay for death.

The purpose of opening such a film and television investment company is to make money, not to do charity, so we must be cautious.

However, there are also a few big TV series projects that involve first-tier and second-tier stars.

Yan Xin has heard the names of those stars, and they are indeed quite famous.

But after hearing the names of those projects, he lost interest - he had never heard of them in his previous life.

That didn't work out.

Even if it succeeds, it can only make a small amount of money.

said to Zeng Yan: "During this time, I want to invest in a few agricultural product processing factories in my hometown, and I don't have much spare money to invest in film and television works. ”

Zeng Yan nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then when it comes to movies, there are two projects that have also approached her.

Yan Xin heard the title of the movie, and immediately had no idea.

It's not that I didn't know it in my previous life, but I knew it very well, it was all bad movies.

If you put it in, you will only lose.

still waited patiently for her to tell her the synopsis of the story and the production team, and then said to her: "I don't think this kind of theme is good, and this kind of team is not very good, so let's not vote." ”

Zeng Yan smiled: "I also don't think there is a need to invest. ”

Now the domestic film market is not very popular, and there are not many movies that can make money.

Except for one or two head directors, the rest of the domestic films do not have much box office appeal.

Domestic movie stars, in this era, basically do not have box office appeal.

Yan Xin's decision did not surprise Zeng Yan.

Now this market is not good in the first place, and many times it can only exist as a box office for Hollywood blockbusters.

It was originally a project with no hope of making a profit, but it was vetoed by the boss, and there was nothing to feel sorry for.

Then she talked about an incident in the circle, but this time it was not about the company's investment project, but about a middle-aged star who took a movie script to find investment and was rejected by many companies.

The middle-aged star is famous for acting in TV series, and everyone calls him Brother Shanzheng.

As soon as Yan Xin heard this name, his eyes lit up:

"Brother Shanzheng?"

"You've seen him on TV?" Zeng Yan had some surprises.

"I've seen it, Zhu Bajie, I like it too much!" Yan Xin said.

In fact, he didn't particularly like that TV series, but he knew that this Brother Shan Zheng would become a big man in the domestic film industry in the future and make several high-grossing movies.

He also heard the story of Brother Shanzheng's first film that set a box office record for domestic films and was rejected many times for investment, and when he decided to start such a film and television investment company, he thought about whether he could pick up this leak.

It's just that he is a little vague about when that movie was released, and he doesn't know when the investment started to pull, so there is no way to guide.

I didn't expect to hear this story from Zeng Yan's mouth now.

People have already started to attract investment.

Moreover, it seems that he has not yet found someone willing to invest in him.

At this time, he should not refuse to invest in this project.

That's a big profit.

- That is also a very important stroke in Yan Xin's eyes.

It's just that I just told Zeng Yan that there will be no big investment in the next period of time, and I also vetoed two film projects with first-line stars, and now I say that I want to invest in such a project, and I can't seem to find a reasonable reason.

At this time, Feng Xi said: "I also like the role he plays, and I have watched the movies he played, his project should be quite interesting, right?" ”

Yan Xin was overjoyed, and felt that there was a reason for this, and said: "I also think it should be quite interesting, I don't think he will do any vulgar projects." ”

Feng Xi glanced at him: "Or, let's invest in this project?" ”

Zeng Yan was even more surprised, but still explained: "Although he has a certain popularity, he is not a first-line star in the film industry." And this time he wants to be a director, that is, a pure newcomer, and the probability of losing money is relatively large. ”

Although the money is paid by the boss, she also does not want the boss to lose money.

She also has a little stake in this company, and she has a loss if she loses her capital.

Feng Xi smiled indifferently: "If you lose, you will lose, and if you don't have much money, you should support the newcomer, and the ones you support are still the stars you like, so you don't lose money." ”

"But I heard that his film is going to be shot abroad, and it will require an investment of tens of millions." Zeng Yan said.

"It's only tens of millions, and it's not like we can't get it." Feng Xi said.

Then he turned his head sideways and asked Yan Xin: "Husband, did you say it?" ”

Zeng Yan glanced at Feng Xi and thought to herself: "Is this the mode for rich people to chase stars?" For the sake of your favorite star, tens of millions were thrown out like this? ”

Then he glanced at Yan Xin again, and thought to himself: "Your daughter-in-law has to pay tens of millions of dollars to chase stars, don't you care?" ”

Yan Xin was also a little surprised, glanced at Feng Xi, and thought to himself: "How did I not know that she liked this bald star in my last life?" ”

Then I felt a little guilty in my heart: "I lived together for so long in my last life, and I didn't even know which stars she liked, my husband was really derelict in his duties, and I don't blame her for being dissatisfied with me, I didn't care about her inner world." ”

But Feng Xi said this now, which just gave him a reason to invest in that project, so he nodded and said:

"You have a very reasonable point, the film industry needs fresh blood, and if there are always those big directors in control, they will always stay in the same place, and there will be no progress. We should be brave enough to invest in some new people, and I think we can try it. ”

"Tens of millions of projects, do you really want to invest?" Zeng Yan asked uncertainly.

Because the company hasn't made that much investment yet.

"You can get in touch with him first, take a look at his script, and then evaluate whether there is a need for investment." Yan Xin said.

Take a look at the script and get to know the cast so you can invest.

If the current script is not the script that raises the box office record of domestic films, it still can't be invested.

It's such a story, but the storyline is different from what is presented in the movie, and you can't invest blindly, you have to put forward your own revisions, and you have to do the same as the movie plot he saw in his previous life before he can invest.

Including the cast too.

Only in this way can the film be guaranteed to achieve a box office similar to the one he remembers.

Yan Xin is ready to be deeply involved in this project, and he must get this project to the original flavor in his memory.

Zeng Yan saw that the boss and the proprietress had such an attitude, but there was no psychological burden - they strongly demanded investment, and it was none of her business to lose money in the end.

For a person like her, who is in the circle, being able to make such a big investment is also an act to show her status - what if she loses? At least she has the capital to pay for it.

She herself has no reason to object.

So I happily agreed with the decision of the boss and the hostess:

"I'll find someone to contact him and see if I can talk to him about the project."

asked Yan Xin again: "If the project is successful, our company has also signed a few artists, do you want to take this opportunity to stuff a few artists over?" ”

She feels that the probability of losing money is greater, in this case, it is better to take this opportunity to stuff a few of her own artists in the past, and also show their faces on the big screen, brush their sense of existence, and it will be a qualification in the future.

If the company is in charge of the project, it will be no problem to put in the role.

Yan Xin frowned: "Do the artists of our company have that level?" After all, this is an investment of tens of millions, and they can't be screwed up. ”

Zeng Yan was a little weak and said: "The protagonist may not be good, but the supporting role shouldn't be too much of a problem." ”

Yan Xin recalled the plot of the movie in his memory, and then responded to the young people who signed a contract with this company.

It's just that I invested in such a project, but none of my own people were arranged into it, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

After thinking about it, he said: "It's okay to arrange a few characters, but the protagonist can't use them, and the important configuration can't use them, everything must focus on the quality of the film, which must be clear." ”

Zeng Yan nodded: "Understood." ”

The company has also invested in several projects, some of which can be arranged with important roles.

However, she found that in the important projects invested by the company, the boss was very reluctant for the company to arrange the characters to enter, and repeatedly emphasized that the creative freedom of the crew should be respected.

It made her feel a little strange.

I thought to myself: "Could it be that he also has a dream of being a young man?" ”

But soon I thought that this boss also has an identity, that is, a music creator, who has created many widely circulated songs.

Some of them have been praised as classics in the pop music scene after several years of precipitation.

He is a literary and artistic youth.

Respect creative freedom, that makes sense.

For a while, I was in awe of this boss.

Probably those creators in the film and television industry want to cooperate with such a boss the most.

Because of this project, Yan Xin ate this meal very happily.

It was Zeng Yan who paid the bill.

- When Yan Xin was about to pay the bill, she learned that she had already paid the bill.

This money is not a matter for them, it is just a courtesy.

After eating, Zeng Yan drove them to the community where Feng Xi lived.

On the way, Feng Xi also asked her:

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, which is also our country's traditional Valentine's Day, how are you going to spend it?"

Zeng Yan smiled: "At my age, what Valentine's Day is there?" Accompanying my niece to eat a bowl of rice balls is even after this Lantern Festival. ”

"Your niece is with you?" Feng Xi was a little curious.

Zeng Yan said: "Yes, she failed the college entrance examination last year, and she didn't want to repeat her studies, she played at home for a few months, and she felt bored, so she followed me to the capital after the New Year to see if she could find a job." ”

When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Yan Xin.

Feng Xi said with a smile: "If you don't have a job, you can sign her to your company and let her be an artist." ”

Zeng Yan blushed and said: "This kid wants to be a star, but she can't sing or act, I'm afraid that signing her into the company will waste the company's resources." ”

The words are quite subtle, but the meaning can be heard, and I still want to cultivate my niece.

It's just that she is not the boss, and she signed her niece, for fear that the boss will think that she is using her power for personal gain.

Yan Xin said with a smile: "If she has that idea, you can give it a try, the training that should be trained, and the opportunity to praise it, maybe it will become popular?" Who is not a champion? Wouldn't it be better to praise your own family? ”

Signing an artist will not cost too much money, so it should be regarded as a reward for Zeng Yan, the general manager.

Zeng Yan was still modest: "How embarrassing is this? ”

"If the child has such an idea, just give her this opportunity, and there is no cheapness for others." Yan Xin said.

"Then thank you boss!" Zeng Yan said, "I'll bring her over in two days to thank the boss." ”
