Chapter 139: Rashomon, the final conspiracy
The next day, Lin Kaihai drove and sent Su Qingtong to take a plane again, filming, filming is really hard, filming a TV series is really hard, the length is too long, the filming is far away, Lin Yu's Infernal Affairs has been filmed for more than a month, and if you go over there, you have to do it for at least another two months.
And then it's not easy, I have to shoot scenes running all over the world, go to some mountains to pick up scenes or something, and the insignificant scenes in Hengdian have already been filmed.
"Go back." At the entrance of the station, Su Qingtong smiled slightly, like a spring breeze, waved his hand, his eyes swept over the people, and after a slight pause on Lin Yu's body, he looked away, and then dragged a suitcase with one hand and walked in slowly.
As soon as I got home, there was another man in a suit and leather shoes at the door of the house, wandering there.
Su Meijing and Lin Kaihai have long been used to it, and since their two children stepped into the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon for all kinds of strange people to come to visit.
"Hello, you are ......" Lin Kaihai stepped forward and took the initiative to inquire.
"Mr. Lin, right?" The person who came here has probably been sunburned for a long time, his forehead is covered with a fine layer of sweat, and his neckline is a little wet, and he is actually speaking in a mouthful tone, speaking Mandarin is very difficult and difficult to understand, but the enthusiasm on his face is clear at a glance.
But the other party's straightforwardness soon made Lin Kaihai realize, "I am a friend of director Liu Weiqiang, Fan Zhiwei, currently serving as the deputy director of the artist management department of Emperor Entertainment. ”
"Ah, hello!" Lin Kaihai was directly shocked by the other party's huge origin.
Helplessly, this name is really louder, even a layman knows this fame, Emperor Entertainment, one of the giants of the whole Xiangjiang artist company.
The reputation is mixed, not to mention it, but this small watch shop has developed into a wide range of real estate, hotels, finance, entertainment, movies, publishing and printing...... Emperor of countless industries is indeed one of the giants of Xiangjiang in this era.
There are also outrageous superstars and resources under its command, it is not only a production company, but also an artist company, and a record company.
In short, a hodgepodge, everything you can imagine, is available in the Emperor.
This man in a suit and leather shoes, with a little greasy hair at first glance, turned out to be the deputy director of the artistry department of the Emperor, didn't it scare Lin Kaihai?
You know, what is the position of the deputy director of the artist department? The director has already said that the top 1 broker in this circle.
Further down, it's one of their directors, what's the matter, it's not his subordinates running here, but his director coming over in person?
Can Lin Kaihai not be taken aback?
"Come in, come in, come in!" Lin Kaihai immediately greeted warmly, but he didn't dare to ask others to talk about things outside the house, so he led Fan Zhiwei into the house first, turned on the air conditioner first, and let the deputy director Fan, who was half sunburned, cool and cool, and then went to make tea for Fan Zhiwei with enthusiasm.
Fan Zhiwei first looked around the environment, happily, pressed his hands on his knees, the whole person was full of the smell of affinity, and there was no sense of oppression like a superior.
"Thank you, thank you." With a cup of green tea brought over, Fan Zhiwei finally said a few points of the standard.
"Mr. Fan, are you here for Xiaoyu's business?" Lin Kaihai said curiously.
On the other side of the Xiangjiang River, it can only be because of the forest fish in this family.
"Yes." Glancing at Lin Yu, Fan Zhi said happily, and stretched out his hand to push his glasses, "Before Xiaoyu was in the college entrance examination, I didn't dare to disturb him, so as not to distract Xiaoyu." ”
"That's right, director Liu Weiqiang's side, tried his best to recommend Lin Yu to me, I have taken a comprehensive look at Lin Yu's auditions, the performances in the Infernal Affairs sample film, some of his performances on the set, and some exam videos that I want from the Chinese drama, I decided to come over in person."
"That's the case, our emperor intends to sign the artist ...... Linyu, of course, this is very special, because our emperor usually only signs the actors of Xiangjiang opera, and the actors who sign the mainland are not the first, but also one of the few."
"But we are particularly optimistic about the development potential of Lin Yu students."
"Our main resources are also in Xiangjiang, which may have certain restrictions on Lin Yu's future drama path, but to be honest, over the years, our emperor has also had the desire to expand channels and develop to the mainland, and to develop in the mainland, we lack actors who can take the lead, I hope you can take this into account."
Fan Zhiwei spoke very slowly, very slowly, trying to make everyone understand what he meant.
It's natural!
As a giant in Hong Kong, signing a contract with Emperor represents a huge market choice.
Lin Kaihai and Lin Yu couldn't help but glance at each other.
Although the arrival of this Fan Zhiwei was surprising and unexpected, it was not unexpected.
Lin Yu doesn't have a brokerage company yet, even Andy Lau can care about it, how can Liu Weiqiang turn a blind eye?
Speaking of which, Lin Kaihai didn't speak, just left room for Lin Yu, he thought he didn't know much about this part, Lin Yu had grown up, and it was up to him to decide.
"What can the Emperor give me?" Lin Yu said seriously, unceremoniously.
As the saying goes, rather than the head of a chicken, not the tail of a phoenix, this emperor is powerful, but there are not many artists under the umbrella of others? What are you pretending to be a forest fish, as soon as you enter the Emperor, you think people have the ability to support you?
What he said now is good, and the deputy director came to visit in person, turned around and turned his face, and you couldn't find anyone.
Fan Zhiwei's personal visit does illustrate a certain attitude, but this is not enough, only when it is implemented in the contract can their attitude and determination be reflected.
Fan Zhiwei smiled slightly, he didn't mind Lin Yu's attitude at all.
It stands to reason that if the emperor can sign you, it will be for you to give face, talent does not mean that you can get ahead, but what he happens to value is the self-respecting heart of Lin Yu, the heart of waiting for the price to sell.
Only the person who truly recognizes his own value to himself is worthy of him to know your value!
"Since I'm here in person, it's four words, 'absolutely excellent'." Fan Zhiwei said word by word, "Xiaolin, we are full of sincerity to you, please don't doubt it." ”
"You will not be the same as those ordinary actors."
"First, there are four grades of our Emperor's contract, trainee contract, artist contract, elite artist contract, star contract, and superstar contract,...... I won't take out the contract of the trainees to laugh and be generous, let's talk about it directly, and the plan I have finalized for you is to sign the elite artist contract directly. ”
"The contract is signed every 20 years, but it is changed every five years, and it only goes up and does not fall, that is, if you become famous, we will give you a star appointment, even if you are confused again, we will always give you a star contract, and it will not fall."
"The contract of elite artists is like this, the sharing ratio is 55 points, all agent contracts, including all platforms and all fields, such as record contracts, film and television contracts, advertising contracts, and announcement films."
"We are free to agree on the obligations of our Emperor."
"For example, some artists pursue popularity, and they will ask us to give them more announcements and opportunities to make movies, but some artists live very Buddhist lives and like to 'go into the mountains and cultivate', and there is no news for three months."
Fan Zhiwei smiled, as if he was an agent who had done a lot, and everyone had seen it, "This part depends on your needs, customized by you, classmate Lin Yu, this is a very, very big privilege." ”
"We only have a small number of celebrity appointments, and we only have this privilege with superstar appointments."
"The above is the contract part, I believe that with our Emperor's connections and financial resources, you don't have to worry about your income, we will contact you with a jewelry endorsement at will, which is directly tens of millions of ...... a year, of course, it depends on your fame."
"So according to convention, you still have to develop silently in the early stage, and create your own works, we will give priority to matching you with some small brands whose endorsement fees are not high, and earn money first."
"And with our connections, in the circle of Xiangjiang, your film dates are endless."
Fan Zhiwei smiled, "Of course, this is by no means the point. ”
Fan Zhiwei said seriously, "The following is by no means a big pie, our emperor is really interested in entering the mainland market, and has already set up a production film company and an artist company one step ahead...... but as you know, the market in Qinzhou is also quite mature, and it is not easy to dig meat from other people's mouths to eat." ”
"We didn't expect you to expand your territory and become our pioneer and big-name ......, we will inevitably pay a high price to poach stars to our banner, and then make works to open up the market."
"But there is no doubt that you will be our core successor potential, the main mainland artist cultivated by ourselves."
"After all, we are all emperors, and there are few mainland artists." Fan Zhiwei smiled and said, "Otherwise, where do you need me to come and run in person, just to show your sincerity." ”
"Twenty years is too long." Lin Yu frowned.
Fan Zhiwei hesitated for a moment, but still retorted, "This point is unshakable, if you are worried about some problems, we can implement it in the contract." ”
"It's no secret that our emperor has experienced too many betrayals, and it takes at least five years for an artist to grow from cultivation to growth."
"Just when the harvest is about to be harvested, people run away, who do we look for to lose?"
"I beg your pardon for this, in fact, wherever you go is currently a twenty-year contract, unless it is a small company, or a trainee contract." Fan Zhiwei said very calmly.
Lin Yu understood, but also pondered, after all, this contract is not signed blindly, although the emperor is full of sincerity, it is also a huge opportunity, and even a round that can directly bayonet with Yu Bai on this main battlefield.
But after all, a twenty-year contract is too long.
"Thank you, I'll think about it."
"If there are any other questions you can ask now?" Fan Zhiwei smiled, "My afternoon plane will leave in a while, and I won't even be able to catch up with dinner, so you can call me if you have something." ”
"If you think about it, please come to Xiangjiang, let's meet and sign a contract, there is Infernal Affairs there, Xiaoyu still has to come."
"Okay, the actor contract should actually be sooner rather than later, don't drag it on for too long, even if you don't sign with our Emperor, Xiaoyu, I hope you will come up with an idea this summer."
"Loose cultivation is equivalent to being the enemy of all brokerage companies in the world, grabbing food, right?"
"Thank you, Director Fan."
The family sent Fan Zhiwei out, and when they came back, they couldn't help whispering, "Emperor, what do you think, Xiaoyu?" ”
Lin Kaihai said curiously.
Su Meijing on the side didn't speak, although her daughter is Yixin, who signed a contract, but Yixin is about the fifth or sixth in Qinzhou, which is not comparable to a giant like the Emperor of Xiangjiang.
Moreover, the director personally invited him, which is enough to see that the emperor attaches great importance to the forest fish.
"Hey, the contract is too long." Lin Yu scratched his head, Fan Zhiwei had a sentence that was right when he left, it was impossible to keep cultivating, which was tantamount to making enemies of everyone and robbing others of food.
You've got to go and stand on a faction.
But the forest fish actually hates this feeling, and the forest fish likes to have their fate in their own hands.
"I can't wait to open my own company as capital." Lin Yu muttered.
Of course, this is just thinking about it, this is not a matter of having money or not, you are fledgling, doing this, isn't this looking for death, this is a matter of connections.
Just like the ghost record and don't talk about the effect of localization, it is not a question of whether you are worthy or not to go directly to the theater, in terms of quality, of course.
But can you just do that?
Who are you, the cinema will schedule films for you? Long Aotian has seen too much.
You said that someone else filmed a fire in the previous life, and you can also shoot a fire?
The bright sword has also been remade into a thunder drama!
On one side is Andy Lau's canopy, and on the other side is the Emperor, which one to choose?
Or is it that I am now developing in the mainland, waiting for the brokerage company in the mainland to come to me?
Of course, not to mention the hassle and time-consuming, how can you be sure that you can be more important than these two companies currently value you?
Fan Zhiwei's visit was tantamount to making Lin Yu fall into a new entanglement, and he thought about it at home for a few days, so he made a phone call and visited Li Hong.
On the phone, Li Hong thought about it for a while and gave Lin Yu a pertinent evaluation.
"The Emperor's connections must be okay, but after a long time, who will know what will happen?"
"At the beginning, so many actors who were like glue to the emperor also broke up later, was it because they didn't get along from the beginning?"
"Of course, young people, sometimes you don't have to think so far, can you really come up with a result?"
"If you're not at ease, you can agree in the contract that you can shoot a movie every year."
"Okay, don't look like an eighty-year-old uncle, hang up!"
“……”
Lin Yu hesitated for a while, thinking if there was a pit here, so he simply called again and visited Liu Weiqiang.
Liu Weiqiang was busy, and after receiving this call, he said that it was indeed true, and hoped that Lin Yu would think about it himself, and he was just a middleman in the middle.
After hanging up the phone again, Lin Yu really swayed a little.
Andy Lau was very sincere, but Lin Yu's intuition told him that there seemed to be a problem with the canopy, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.
Fan Zhiwei was also very sincere, but his intuition also told Lin Yu that the emperor also had a problem, but after inquiring around, he didn't hear anything wrong.
Just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, in the middle of the night, Lin Yu suddenly sat up in shock.
Why don't you ask Andy Lau directly?
As a direct competitor, he must know the problem better than anyone else!
Probably Fan Zhiwei would not have thought that Lin Yu could ask such a question.
Just do it, Lin Yu made a phone call and called Andy Liu directly, the assistant who answered the phone, and a minute later, Andy Lau picked it up, it seemed that he hadn't slept yet.
Lin Yu succinctly explained the situation.
On the other side, Andy Lau was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke, "Lin Yu, even if you don't sign with me, I suggest you, absolutely not!" ”
"Why?"
"Fan Zhiwei and Lu Jinshan were friends from the same film studio more than ten years ago, and Liu Weiqiang probably doesn't know this."
Lin Yu's face changed suddenly.
"If he signs you and refrigerates you for twenty years, what will you do?"
"You said you could agree on a contract, but did you agree on the quality of the movie?"
"Give you a tertiary film, will you shoot it? Bad movie, can't you pick it up? ”
“……”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu pinched the phone, only his face was pale.
