The capital of China, the headquarters of the light and shadow era.

In the headquarters, where there are not many civilian staff, every staff member is busy, dealing with various advertising business cooperation, artist management work, and daily operation arrangements.

Although Wu Yuan, the top boss, is not in China, no one among the employees dares to relax and fish.

Li Xiaoping, the real boss in charge of the era of light and shadow, is a general manager who looks gentle and gentle, but is actually strict.

At the moment, she was in the office, constantly approving some papers.

""The Little Thing of First Love" was almost filmed, Director Li Yang did a good job, and the budget was not overrun."

"Although "Soul Ferry" was sold to a brother company at a fixed price, we are also paying attention to the situation, and now the total number of hits of Light and Shadow Express has exceeded 1.5 billion, and the highest playback of a single episode is 120 million, which is currently the most clicked video on the Internet, even ten times higher than the second place."

"Mr. Wang, who listened to the light and shadow broadcast, said that their investment promotion in the next quarter, the cost of a single episode of advertising has risen to 1.3 cents for a 15-second advertisement."

"The company's campus drama trilogy is also placed in the light and shadow express broadcast, as well as the movies released over the years, although these dramas also have pirated resources on other platforms, but the number of clicks on the light and shadow express broadcast is also quite considerable, and it can earn a lot of advertising expenses."

"According to Director Wu's requirements before leaving, Light and Shadow Express has been contacting Shangying to strive to win the exclusive online broadcast right of "Love Apartment".

"In addition, the company's "Inheritors" and "Let's Get Married" will also be launched simultaneously on the Light and Shadow Express at that time."

"Next year, there should be a solo drama that can be broadcast every quarter."

Li Xiaoping's secretary is routinely reporting the company's recent situation to Li Xiaoping.

Before Wu Yuan left, he instructed Li Xiaoping to do one thing, asking her to help Light and Shadow Times buy the online exclusive broadcast rights of "Love Apartment".

Li Xiaoping is more professional than Wang Xin in this kind of thing, Wang Xin can only engage in technology, and is not very good at running a company, especially this kind of company that has in-depth cooperation with the entertainment industry.

Wu Yuan was already pondering to find an administrative general manager for the era of light and shadow, share Wang Xin's work, and let Wang Xin put his mind on technology.

But before that, Li Xiaoping has to go on top first, and those who can work harder.

The TV series "Love Apartment", the source of its birth, in fact, many people do not know.

"Love Apartment" is an online community established by the SNS website in 2005, where more than 20 million members post funny or touching stories in their lives in the way of "shared housing", and the administrator arranges the fate of the characters according to the opinions and stories of netizens.

In 2008, the SNS site "Love Apartment" cooperated with Shanghai Film Company to adapt the online stories and jokes accumulated over the years into a script, which was finally put on the screen.

Wang Yuan, the screenwriter, actually integrated the jokes in the community and compiled them into TV series, and also "borrowed" a lot of plots from American sitcoms.

This is also why the first two parts of "Love Apartment" were produced by Shanghai Film Group, and it was not until the third part that they were taken away by the syndicate, a magic capital company, and became their IP.

Although Wu Yuan didn't want his company to fall into the "plagiarism" storm and did not move this film and television work out in advance, he was still quite willing to buy the exclusive film and television broadcast rights of this TV series in advance.

In the original time and space, when the first part of "Love Apartment" was broadcast, there was no exclusive broadcast right on the Internet, and all major platforms were pirated and released.

It wasn't until the third part that the chaos of online piracy was curbed, and then it was won the exclusive broadcast right by Singular Video, and the next few films were also taken over.

Strange Video also relied on three or four parts of "Love Apartment", when the concept of "online exclusive broadcasting rights" first appeared, with a large number of fans of this drama, it was able to gain a firm foothold in the field of online video platforms.

You must know that Singular Video is a latecomer in the online video industry, and at the beginning, it was backed by Baidu, which was the worst of the three giants.

In the end, it was able to kill, and the solo broadcasts of "Love Apartment 3" and "Love Apartment 4" made great efforts.

This kind of popular IP that can affect the momentum of a platform, Wu Yuan certainly wants to win.

Although the first part has just started, this is a low-cost small workshop-style sitcom that no one cares about, Wu Yuan also asked Li Xiaoping to sign an exclusive broadcast contract with "Love Apartment", and also signed four intent contracts in one go, if there is a sequel in the future, in the case of the same bid, it must be preferred to broadcast exclusively in Light and Shadow Express.

Although she was a little surprised by Wu Yuan's request, Li Xiaoping, who had already formed a blind admiration for Wu Yuan's vision, had no doubts at all, and immediately arranged for someone to follow up.

On the side of Shangying, I also feel very strange about the era of light and shadow, or the requirement of light and shadow fast broadcasting.

"Love Apartment" is just an inconspicuous sitcom, but it was noticed by Light and Shadow Express as soon as the project was established, and they themselves have no plans for a sequel, and Light and Shadow Express is going to sign a contract of intent for four sequels?

In other words, if this contract is signed with Light and Shadow Express, even if the ratings of the first part are not good, they can make a sequel, and there are already companies willing to buy it anyway.

When such a good thing comes to the door, is there any reason to refuse?

Li Xiaoping signed her name on the contract that had been drawn up and stamped the company's official seal.

casually handed the contract to the secretary to file it, she rubbed the bridge of her nose, and asked, "How is the preparation of the crew over there?" ”

"The budget is ready." The secretary nodded: "The final budget cost is 135 million, but I'm not sure if it will be overspent in the end." ”

"Director Zhang is already looking for actors in private."

"The earliest confirmed actors are not a few leading actors, but a hell of Hades in the movie."

"Who?" Li Xiaoping asked curiously.

"Su Chang." The secretary covered his mouth and smiled: "In the script, the Hell Hades is an old monster who looks like a girl on the outside, but actually lives for thousands of years. ”

"Director Zhang has seen Su Chang's Tianshan Tong Grandma, and thinks she is quite suitable for this type of role, so he directly decided to let her play it."

"That's it." Li Xiaoping thought for a while, "I remember that she is a good friend of Yifei, right?" ”

"Yes."

Reaching out and tapping on the table, Li Xiaoping thought for a while, and then asked: "I still remember that her brokerage business seems to have always been a family workshop, and her family helped handle it?" ”

"Two years ago, there was a scandal of signing a contract, taking the money and releasing the crew's pigeons, and was sued by the crew in court?"

"That's it, since it's Yifei's friend, let the company's brokerage department contact Su Chang and ask her if she is willing to sign into the company, and the company will give her an S-level contract to train her."

"This kind of family-workshop brokerage behavior can't be put on the table, if she wants to go on well in this circle, she still needs the support of a regular company."

"Most of the so-called family workshops are just knocking out the bones and marrow of artists, killing chickens and eggs, many child stars became famous when they were young, but when they grew up, they were dominated by their parents."

"For laymen, the vision and development plan for artists cannot be compared with professionals after all."

"It just so happens that the company just poached Ji Rujing this year, let her take Su Chang."

Ji Rujing was the first mainland singer signed by Warner Records in 1995.

She released several Cantonese albums on Hong Kong Island, and later released Chinese albums, but the sales results were average, the development was not satisfactory, and she did not become popular.

After 2006, she transformed behind the scenes and began to work as an agent, working in an artist agency under Orange Sky.

At the beginning of this year, Li Xiaoping fell in love with an artist Tang Yan in her hand and wanted to poach her, so she also poached Ji Rujing by the way, anyway, the company also lacked qualified agents.

There is really no promotion from Wu Yuan, and even Wu Yuan doesn't know that the stupid white sweet sugar in 85 flowers has been dug up from his own company

Sugar Candy was born in Chinese opera, with a long leg that is very eye-catching, plus he was selected by Zhang Yimou when he was in school, and he appeared on the stage in the "Eight Minutes of Darkness in Beijing" of the Athens Olympics.

Not only her, Li Xiaoping also fell in love with Yang Mi, a child star who made her debut, and also acted in "The Condor Heroes" with Liu Yifei, and now she is filming Li Shaohong's version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

In addition, when she was filming "Dream of Red Mansions", Sugar Man "borrowed" from the crew to play the heroine of "Sword and Fairy III", which made Li Xiaoping pay more attention to this little actor.

Check it out, hey, the 05-level class of the Film Academy is the same school sister of Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei.

What else is there to say, try digging it.

It just so happened that Yang Mi didn't want to do it in Rong Xinda under Li Shaohong, and felt that this company was mainly Li Shaohong's descendants, and she didn't have a bright future.

Recently, the two parties have been in close communication, and eighty percent of them have even brought brokers to the company.

Wu Yuan, who was far away in the United States, did not know about Li Xiaoping's actions.

As the general manager of the company, Li Xiaoping can't report this little thing, after all, in her eyes, she just signed two little actors.

However, if Wu Yuan knew about this in the future, he would probably have to sigh fiercely.

It can only be said that this batch of 85 flowers was able to come out later, and it really had something on its own.

Even if he doesn't have any interference, he will still be taken by Li Xiaoping.

Although Tangtang is stupid and sweet, Mi Mi loves to play, but as a money-making tool, these two top performers in 85 flowers, one can play ten, and can sign into the company, Wu Yuan will not turn them away.

But if you want to get the opportunity to star in his movie, it is estimated that it will be difficult.

Wu Yuan could have instructed Li Xiaoping to sign a group of post-80s actresses he admired before, if Tangtang and Mi Mi joined the era of light and shadow, the competition would not be ordinary.

For the two of them, coming to the era of light and shadow is not necessarily a good thing

Oh, now we have to add a Su Chang who got rid of the family-style workshop to compete with.

I hope to be brave and not afraid of difficulties!
