Shen Mengxi used to be in the screenwriting circle, and he didn't have much contact with big actors.

So, he doesn't know how to get along with actors...

I don't know how artists are managed.

I only know that the company's resources should be arranged for the company's artists as much as possible!

With the works by their side, they can realize the realization of commercial value, and the company will also make money...

There is also the fact that artists are popular, and it is better to sell dramas.

After all, TV stations buy dramas to watch stars, not plots...

Therefore, Shen Mengxi still attaches great importance to his artists, except for Yuan Hong, his contract will expire soon...

Signed with Tang Ren in 04, and the 10-year contract expired, I guess I don't want to renew the contract...

How to continue?

With Hu Ge here, he will always be the second choice, and many times, it is not even the second choice, Cai Yinong would rather find a Taiwanese Xiaosheng.

After Mengxi acquired Tang Ren, there were more resources, but there was more competition, Zhu Yawen, Wang Kai, Zhang Luyi, Chen Xiao, Wang Lei, and now Guo Jingfei, Lei Jiayin...

Except for Lei Jiayin, they are all handsome and have acting skills!

If Guo Jingfei covers his face full of pimples, he is also a standard handsome guy.

Actresses, plus Zhao Liying and Wan Qian, that is the seven golden flowers!

Just these people, ten years later, it doesn't take ten years, five years later, to get together and shoot a TV series, the cost of just one episode will be around 20 million - all salary!

......

Hengdian, Shen Mengxi got the preliminary budget of "Before Dawn", and after taking a look, the total cost was less than 60 million...

"Chen Daoming's salary is 250,000 yuan per episode, and Chen Baoguo's salary is 250,000 yuan... It's cheap!"

Li Yiping was shocked: "This is still cheap?"

"250,000 episodes are very cheap, these are all top actors!"

So this era is really good, the top actors, with guaranteed ratings, the salary for a single episode is only 250,000...

Yang Eighty Million Tianbao does not exist at all!

“... I want to put Zhang Guoli and Wang Zhiwen together and make a mainland version of F4!"

"The mainland version of F4?"

"These four actors can represent the level of middle-aged actors in the mainland, and they have good acting skills and appearance!"

Li Yiping didn't want to talk about this topic: "... You don't know, "Before Dawn" was established, and those kids want to be in this play!"

"I know that this drama is scheduled for CCTV's 2010 New Year's drama!"

"CCTV?"

"People wanted to buy out, but we refused..."

“... So what do you think?"

"There are a lot of supporting roles, let them collectively brush their faces and act in a drama, which is helpful for acting!"

"Forget about Hu Ge, his schedule for next year is full!"

"Well, "Painted Skin", "The Beautiful Times of the Daughter-in-law", "The Wind", "Fairy Sword III"..."

"And "Ip Man 2"..."

Shen Mengxi didn't care: "Those who can work harder, originally "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law", he didn't need to act, he had to go to audition, saying that he wanted to broaden the acting path..."

"Wang Kai, what about them?"

"They are not in a hurry, our company has more than a dozen project works, suitable ones, arbitrary selection!"

Li Yiping asked again: "Who are you looking for for the heroine of "Before Dawn"?"

"In that drama, the heroine has no sense of existence, silly and sweet... Any actor can play it. ”

"That's the problem, any actress can play it..."

"Who do you think is suitable?"

"Give it to Li Ying or Wan Qian, Li Ying can only play a small supporting role for more than two years..."

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "... Don't, her line skills are a little poor, and her words are not clear, you sign her up for an acting refresher class, let her continue to play a supporting role, and after half a year, give her a play of female No. 2 or No. 3 female..."Before Dawn" will be given to Wan Qian!"

"Okay, I'll go and inform right away... What about Yang Xiaomi's side?"

"Isn't it enough that she has "Sword and Fairy III" and "Kintaro's Happy Life" this year?"

"Okay, I'll go talk to them..."Li Yiping was about to leave, and suddenly thought of something: "I found two people, Liang Yan and Zhao Shan, both of them have been in the industry for a while, and they are very suitable for leading artists..."

"I see..."

......

Shen Mengxi really has no interest in artist agency and the like, he only knows that Mengxi Company already has more than 20 brand partners.

The spokespersons of these brands must first of all be the artists under Mengxi.

That's the benefit of big-name companies!

If there are too many artists, then manage them in groups, learn Huayi, take the customized mode, divide the stars into several groups, each group has a big agent to lead, take over the work by themselves, position themselves, the company will give a certain investment, and recover the corresponding profits.

There is no such thing as a brother and a sister...

Of course, the outside world generally believes that Mengxi's first brother is Hu Ge, and the first sister is Yang Xiaomi.

Hengdian, restaurant, Shen Mengxi invited a group of actors to dinner...

"Boss, when will "Before Dawn" air?"

"The year after that, CCTV broadcast... Don't worry, it can't collide with our drama. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Mengxi glanced at Zhu Yawen: "But Yawen is miserable!"

"What's wrong?"

"Your "Snow Leopard" was broadcast on Shaanxi Life Channel and Beijing 4, and the ratings were not bad, so I set a big drama for the beginning of next year, and collided with another drama produced by our company!"

Zhu Yawen hurriedly asked: "... What play?"

"The Temptation to Go Home, this drama should be able to set a good ratings record!"

Yang Xiaomi asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Family ethics, a very bloody drama..."

Lei Jiayin suddenly raised his hand: "I have acted." ”

“... Have you acted?"

Shen Mengxi was shocked...

"I play Lin Pinru's brother, Lin Yide!"

Shen Mengxi was a little embarrassed and explained: "... That drama is an adaptation of the Korean drama "The Temptation of Wife", our company's first drama to win the Korean annual ratings championship, and then it was selected by Mango Channel, and it was adapted together, I am the nominal producer, and I didn't participate much at all..."

suddenly felt that he had become Huang Zhongjun - the original time and space, Zhu Yawen starred in "Red Sorghum" in the corner of Zhanao and made him completely famous, and then Huang Zhongjun wanted to sign him, and only after inquiring did he know that Zhu Yawen was an actor under Huayi...

"Take your time, I promise, you'll all be red!"

Yuan Hong suddenly asked: "Boss, what kind of actor do you say is popular?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know..."

"Liying, what do you think?"

Zhao Liying shook her head: "I don't know..."

"The industry's definition of red is that your name is mentioned, and the TV station will carefully consider the TV series you participate in... The outside world's definition of red is very vague, and there is a definition, that is, it has a high degree of exposure, theater, newspapers, radio, movies, and television. Now the Internet is becoming a mainstream exposure platform. ”

"But exposure can't decide everything, there is very little news than Zhang Xueyou and the princess, can you say that they are not popular now? They rely on the ability to output their works. ”

"I think first of all, we still have to have works, at least we have to successfully create a role that the audience is familiar with! This depends on luck, many actors become popular, not because of how good their acting skills are, but because of their appearance and acting style, which is exactly in line with the role, and then the play is well written, the audience likes it, the play is popular, the character is popular, and they themselves will naturally become popular. ”

"Therefore, I have always felt that acting skills are not high, and the perfect fit for the role is the first element!"

"From this point of view, Hu Ge is already very popular! After all, he has Li Xiaoyao..."

Hu Ge took the initiative to defend: "I don't feel very red..."

"It shows that you are self-motivated, an actor, as long as you don't lie on the credit book and eat the old book, your acting skills are increasing with age and experience, and then you grasp the opportunity again and again, and you will naturally become a star in the entertainment industry. ”

"I promise, you'll all be red and purple in the future!"
