Jiang Ying stared at Liu Tianyi calmly, and then Liu Tianyi withdrew his gaze embarrassingly, rather reluctantly.
"Okay, okay, isn't it enough for you to sign me?" Mei Zihan interrupted, "My relatives are very valuable, and you can't even afford to sign for pants, so let's forget it."
If Jiang Ying wanted to enter the entertainment circle, she would have entered eight hundred years earlier. Since Jiang Ying was unwilling to do it, it was impossible for Mei Zihan to help others force him to do it.
Liu Tianyi could only sigh a few times, and continued to explain to the two the importance of being affiliated with the company.
"I think you all know by now that the cultivation of artists is just one part of the business of many entertainment companies. They often have a good relationship with many investors and TV stations. Whether it is TV dramas or movies, investment and investment are indispensable. These film and television companies Most of the time, if they can afford it, they are willing to invest in a project on their own. The reason why those stars are willing to sign the company is because they can't get certain resources by themselves, so they can only borrow the company's ability .”
Many TV dramas will hand over scripts to many stars before starting work, and those who are willing to accept will continue to discuss, and those who are unwilling will be useless no matter how suitable they are. However, it is impossible for a general TV drama to be played by a certain person. When selecting stars, they also cast a wide net and focus on catching fish.
Then, here comes the point.
It's not that many stars cannot play this role, on the contrary, they are evenly matched in many cases. An actor can get a role, which is often a combination of internal and external factors. The actor's appearance, acting skills, or line skills and performance experience are all internal factors that determine whether he can get the role. Then when the appearance, acting skills, and even popularity are almost the same, you have to fight for external factors.
The company the artist is affiliated with, or the investor the artist knows, or the artist brings capital into the group, etc., can all be regarded as important links of external factors.
These can be called the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.
Everyone turns a blind eye and closes one eye, and those who want to play can play, and those who don't want to play don't. Every year, there are so many handsome men and beauties who want to come in with their heads sharpened, and there is no shortage of you. Therefore, many impetuous celebrities think that they can soar into the sky as long as they hug their thighs, which is obviously just a delusion.
"So Brother Liu, what do you mean, as long as I'm affiliated with the company, I can act in many TV dramas and movies?" Mei Zihan understood Liu Tianyi's words.
"That's what it means." Liu Tianyi didn't expect Mei Zihan to understand that there was a power struggle between a company and no company. He just had to take charge of the acting, and the rest was his manager. work.
"Moreover, many film and television companies themselves will recruit some screenwriters. Many good projects are independently invested by film and television companies. Even if others want to get in, they can't get in, which is a waste of opportunity. But there is also one thing, this kind of good projects and good books are all The people in the company are watching, if there are really such big productions, you have to compete with the stars in the company." Liu Tianyi said very clearly, "At that time, the opponent may come out to hack you .”
"Black is black, you can't be red if you haven't been hacked before." Mei Zihan was surprised to see this point, "As long as Jiang Ying understands what kind of person I am."
"En." Jiang Ying responded softly.
Mei Zihan smiled very cheerfully, "I do have a shallow foundation now. If you really need a film and television company, brother Liu, you can help me talk about it. I believe you won't be deceived."
Liu Tian raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry about this, I have been in the entertainment industry for as long as you. Now everyone can see your potential, even those film and television companies who look down on people and want to take advantage of the opportunity, there are a few The company's conditions are very sincere. If it works properly, as a sign of sincerity in signing with you, the film and television company will give you a very good resource, at least you can't get it now."
"Oh." Mei Zihan looked forward to it, with excitement on his face.
Jiang Ying looked at Mei Zihan who was so radiant, and felt a little nostalgic in her heart.
He and Mei Zihan lived together for less than a year, plus they had known each other for about three years. Three years ago, Mei Zihan was actually far more energetic than he was a year ago. At that time, Mei Zihan was quite self-motivated and would be happy to take on a few good small roles. But gradually, after Mei Zihan put the focus of life on Jiang Ying, this kind of self-motivation faded a bit.
A man's mentality of wanting to fight for his career and wanting to return to his family is completely different. As a man, Jiang Ying can easily understand it.
Twenty-six or seven-year-old Mei Zihan already understands that it is very difficult to become popular at his age, and it is even more difficult to transform. So he accepted the status quo and turned his attention to Jiang Ying. This kind of concentration and sincerity quickly impresses Jiang Ying, and she agrees to try to live with him, but what Jiang Ying likes more is the Mei Zi who rushed to him to ask for a date after he was fined for picking the flowers in the flower bed after class. cold.
He gave up his favorite career and chose to enter the university to start again. His life became as calm as stagnant water, and Mei Zihan, who was full of energy, jumped in front of him under such circumstances.
But when he agreed to have a try with Mei Zihan, Mei Zihan's vitality was not so obvious. He began to try to accept his ordinaryness and learn to be an ordinary office worker.
Fortunately, now, Mei Zihan has gradually regained his self-motivation.
At the beginning, he will seriously figure out the role, will take the initiative to ask about his acting skills, and will have a preliminary plan for his career. Of course, he is included in this plan.
The day he agreed to Mei Zihan was probably the most important decision he made in his life.
————————
Liu Tian made an appointment with Xinghai Entertainment in the morning, Tianshan Entertainment in the afternoon, and Qunyu Entertainment in the evening.
Yes, Xinghai Entertainment.
They seemed to have completely forgotten the injustice they had treated Mei Zihan at the beginning. Instead, they offered quite favorable terms and hoped to cooperate with Mei Zihan.
Sunshine Films wants to acquire Xinghai Entertainment, and they have been making frequent moves recently, which makes people panic even for projects that have already started, and the atmosphere is very bad.
It is impossible to say that the board of directors of Xinghai Entertainment did not intend to sell the company.
In the entire Xinghai Entertainment Company, except for the TV drama department which is still making money, almost all the remaining departments are losing money.
The first to bear the brunt is Xinghai Entertainment's investment business.
The TV drama department has made money, so it is natural for money to make money. Now that ip is hot, they also have the desire to hoard copyrights. Not long after buying these IPs, Radio and Television issued a new policy. Few of these IPs can be used.
Then, some small-budget films invested by Xinghai Entertainment all went to the street at a loss, almost losing more than half of their profits.
The second is the business of the artist brokerage. There are several self-defeating artists one after another, cheating, pornographic, taking drugs, and rushing to be a mistress. In order to suppress these news, there are quite a few managements in the company up and down, a lot of favors are owed, and some good characters of good projects are also sent out as compensation.
Under the blows one after another, the members of the board of directors felt headaches when they saw the annual report. It would be great for someone who is willing to take over the offer now.
But if you sell it for sale, it is not certain what price you will sell it for.
Now the most profitable part of Xinghai Entertainment is the TV drama department, which is naturally a sharp weapon to raise prices, but the rest are all points deducted.
Most of the artist contracts under them have not yet expired, and they will definitely package and transfer the contracts to the new company when the time comes. But the embarrassing thing is that there are not many decent entertainers in Xinghai Entertainment, the old ones are too old, and the young ones don't have many good looks, so they can only find foreign aid.
Mei Zihan happened to be such a high-quality and cheap foreign aid.
He has ratings, reputation in TV dramas, he is still young, and he looks good. A commercial blockbuster will be released soon, and he has a pretty good agent. In their Xinghai Entertainment, there are quite a few people who have a good relationship with Liu Tianyi, and if they talk seriously, it's not that they can't negotiate terms.
Anyway, Xinghai Entertainment made up their minds to increase the price and sell it to Sunshine Films. Even if the conditions offered to Mei Zihan were more favorable, it would still be worth it.
"Tianyi, we have known each other for many years. I was wrong about the "Blood Pond Picture" last time, so please don't mind." The one who spoke was the lobbyist sent by Xinghai Entertainment this time, also Liu Tianyi. Friends who have known each other for many years.
"You helped me get the audition opportunities, and you didn't run the company, so what are you talking about?" Liu Tianyi smiled.
He still separates the public from the private.
"Forget it, we've known each other for so many years, so we won't play tricks on you." The friend opened his mouth and said, "Our company wants to sign Mei Zihan, what kind of request do you have here?"
"The conditions you gave before were really good, otherwise I wouldn't have come out to see you." The other party wanted to have a good talk, and Liu Tianyi was naturally willing to give a good face, "It's just that Xinghai Entertainment's current projects seem to have been decided. Man, don't know what kind of gift you can give?"
This question is about Mei Zihan's signing gift.
Whether this gift is good or bad actually represents how much the company values Mei Zihan, and it must not be underestimated.
"Mei Zihan is not short of word-of-mouth and ratings. After the film is released, he will no longer be short of box office. What he lacks is commercial popularity and gossip value." My friend also knows Mei Zihan's current situation very well, "The audience is very happy. They are very forgetful, they forget TV dramas and movies very quickly, but they can remember some interesting gossip and news for a long time.”
"you mean?"
"Jiang Luoxing, the ace artist of our Xinghai Entertainment, is the sincerity of our company." The friend smiled, "We can sign a contract with you for up to two years, so that Mei Zihan and Jiang Luoxing will become boyfriend and girlfriend in name , the marketing and hype expenses needed during this period will be settled by the company, and we will break up peacefully after two years. As long as the bottom line is not violated, I guarantee that Mei Zihan's popularity and commercial value will double in two years, and Mei Zihan will never be damaged. Han's image." My friend is full of confidence.
It is a very common and effective method in the entertainment industry to hype the relationship between men and women. I don’t know how many third- and fourth-tier artists have been on the hot search because of their relationship breakup, which has greatly increased the value of both parties. Not ugly, and a pretty good thing for both men and women.
Jiang Luoxing of Xinghai Entertainment is a first-line entertainer and a popular floret.
Back then, the female star Zhen Xianxian who starred in "Drunken Fairy Dust" was also a popular floret, but compared to Jiang Luoxing, she was still a little worse. Not only has Jiang Luoxing performed outstandingly in modern and ancient idol dramas, but he is also a very good singer. After a while, he can release a new song and even hit the major charts.
Today's Jiang Luoxing is the most profitable artist in Xinghai Entertainment, and her contract with Xinghai Entertainment happens to be two years away.
Of course, Xinghai Entertainment is unwilling to let go of such a profitable artist, and the length of her contract will directly affect the value evaluation of Sunshine Films. Now if it is a combination of male and female stars and a positive public image, the value will only be higher. At first, Xinghai Entertainment wanted to find Jiang Luoxing a fake boyfriend in the company, but Jiang Luoxing rejected them all. Tentatively mentioning Mei Zihan's name, Jiang Luoxing's attitude turned out to be ambiguous, as if acquiescing.
Originally, Xinghai Entertainment was going to take away the resources of a male artist who had caused trouble recently and give it to Mei Zihan as a signing gift, but Jiang Luoxing's attitude made the management think otherwise.
If Mei Zihan is willing to join forces with Jiang Luoxing to hype, it will definitely become a hot topic, and it will be able to tie the two of them together temporarily.
After all, the 29-year-old Jiang Luoxing's emotional life has been speculated by major reporters. Although Mei Zihan is younger, but with ratings and commercial box office in hand, he is not taking the idol traffic route of being a girlfriend fan. Falling Star United hype is definitely not a loss.
The people who came to be lobbyists also really felt that the conditions offered by the company were very reliable, so they talked with Liu Tianyi confidently.
After all, this is Jiang Luoxing.
Unexpectedly, Liu Tian choked on the drink as soon as he heard his words.
"Cough cough cough." Liu Tianyi coughed heart-piercingly, his face flushed red.
"What's the matter, is this news so scary?" The friend quickly gave him a glass of warm water, and helped him calm down.
Liu Tianyi glanced at his friend depressedly.
When he brought Qiu Yunkai before, why didn't anyone ask for such a condition
Jiang Luoxing is a popular little flower now, if Mei Zihan can take advantage of her, wouldn't the exposure rate and topic rate increase? Moreover, Jiang Luoxing has also begun to shift his focus to movies in the past two years, and the public's evaluation has always been very high. As long as it is not the kind of deliberate hype for gossip, it will be beneficial to Mei Zihan's image.
From the beginning to the end, Mei Zihan only needs to accompany her on the outing and take pictures. Maybe even the intimate photos are only on a small scale like kissing the face, and the company will take care of the rest.
Such sincerity can be said to be really generous.
but…
"Sorry, no." Liu Tianyi rejected such a good proposal with a heartbroken heart.
If Mei Zihan hadn't been with Jiang Ying, he would have helped Mei Zihan agree.
This is Jiang Luoxing, the Jiang Luoxing who is good at everything!
Even if Mei Zihan is crooked, it's okay to cooperate with the joint hype. Or even if Mei Zihan's boyfriend is not Jiang Ying, but another slightly ordinary person, Liu Tianyi is confident that he can convince the two of them to come up with such a harmless hype.
Which actor has no love history
And after the hype was over, Mei Zihan would still be able to stay single and still be hot, which would be of great benefit to Mei Zihan in covering up his sexuality. No matter how you think about it, there are all benefits and no harm.
However, Mei Zihan's boyfriend is Jiang Ying.
He is not only Mei Zihan's boyfriend, but also Mei Zihan's acting teacher, and he is also an important thigh for Mei Zihan to rush to the world in the future.
Jiang Ying really couldn't be offended, if he knew that he had agreed to such a condition, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Liu Tianyi was not Mei Zihan, so it was impossible for Jiang Ying to feel sorry for him.
The author has something to say: Liu Tianyi: No matter how good the hype is, if you meet Jiang Ying, you will have to finish it. I don't want my entertainer to die of food poisoning at the hands of her boyfriend yet.
