The number one soft rice king in the entertainment industry

Chapter 391 The Big Boss' Invitation: The Fallen Entertainment Empire

"Those Years" kicked off the summer vacation, and this small-budget youth film was completely insane. "Those Years" stepped on the heads of "Battle of the Gods" and "Frontier Police", climbed onto the shoulders of "Speed ​​6", chopped off the head of "Speed ​​6", and then took his own The battle flag was planted around the neck of "Ford Speed ​​6", declaring its own victory.

The box office soared in its second week of release.Compared with the first week, the box office did not drop, but increased slightly. This weird scene made people in the circle stare wide-eyed.

Netizens continued to follow the rhythm, and the song "Later" quickly spread throughout the Internet.Taking advantage of the popularity of this song, this small-budget movie was promoted as a must-see movie this year.

It wasn't just young people who were aroused to watch it with curiosity.Even many middle-aged people can't help but watch this film, and after watching it, they can't help but recall their youthful years.

During this summer vacation, a wave of youth was set off.

And Su Yang's "You at the Same Table" and "Brother Sleeping on My Top Bunk" that he sang before became popular again.Su Yang also used clips from "Those Years" to re-edit the MVs for these two songs.

And the story of "Those Years" is also very suitable for these two songs.Coupled with the song "Later", several songs have aroused the memories of many people on the Internet, all of which have contributed to the rise in the box office of "Those Years".

"Those Years" made great strides at the box office, and Su Yang's reputation skyrocketed again.

But at this moment, Su Yang has no time to pay attention to these things, because the blockbuster "Operation Mekong" has officially started shooting.

This blockbuster is the first big-budget film directed by Su Yang.The investment is large, the cast is strong, there are many coordinating units, and it is the main theme. Compared with youth films, such a film can establish a godhood.

It is definitely the first time in the industry that Su Yang directed such a movie at the age of 25.

On the set, Su Yang was wearing a sun visor and holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, full of aura.The crew was busy under Su Yang's order.Seeing Su Yang's aura, several veteran actors who hadn't played yet couldn't help sighing.

At the age of 25, with such ability at such a young age, it's really infuriating.But the professional ability shown by Su Yang these days makes these old actors admire.

Especially when Su Yang was lecturing, he could get to the bottom of it with a few words, and let these actors know how to act next.Not to mention professionalism, Su Yang can pick out the various actions of action actors if they can't do well at all, and will explain and demonstrate them in detail.

Seeing Su Yang demonstrate all kinds of professional moves, these veteran actors were very shocked.Nima, when did this dog learn these things? This is too professional.

"Let's rest for a while, it's too hot."

After another scene was filmed, Su Yang said directly that today's filming was on location.The outdoor scene in July is too hot, we must pay attention to rest.

Su Yang also sat under the pergola, took a few sips of water and picked up the script to think again.

Although there is an original movie exchanged by the system, Su Yang's current script is better and more realistic than the original movie script.Because of how the whole thing worked, Su Yang participated in it, and was the core undercover role.

But movies can't be shot like this, they have to be adapted.After all, the plot of being an undercover man disguised as a woman sounds too mysterious.

The undercover agent I acted as became a female character in the movie.

Su Yang has also been fine-tuning the script during this time.It is really pondering word by word, trying to perfect the script to the best, this professionalism also makes many people in the crew admire.

Talented, rich, desperate and hardworking, do you think such a person can fail?

"Director Su, do you have time tonight?"

In the evening, Lin Zhenghui suddenly came to Su Yang's side.Lin Zhenghui is also one of the important actors in this movie, but Lin Zhenghui has nothing to do with Qingyao Media.

During this time, Su Yang still had a good impression of Lin Zhenghui.There is no pretense, and the acting skills are pretty good.

"What? Brother Hui, do you want a treat?"

Su Yang said jokingly.

"Hahaha, I really want to invite you. But not tonight, someone has made a reservation. That's it, Mr. Ye would like to invite you to dinner."

Lin Zhenghui said with a smile, looking at Su Yang also felt a little uneasy.It's hard to say whether Su Yang will give face or not.But my boss wants to invite Su Yang to dinner, so I can only work hard.

"Okay, no problem, I have admired Mr. Ye for a long time."

Su Yang joked with a smile.Su Yang knew who Lin Zhenghui was talking about?

Ye Zhengfang, CEO of Datang Entertainment, is a real strong woman.Datang Entertainment was established by her alone. Datang Entertainment used to be the top entertainment company in the industry.There are many well-known artists under its banner, and the works produced are also very high-quality goods, which were once extremely popular.

But in recent years, Datang Entertainment's status in the industry has plummeted.

One artist after another chose a new owner after the contract expired, and the works produced by Datang Entertainment also hit the street one after another.Now it is only supported by a few old artists, and it may not be an exaggeration to describe it as Doomsday Twilight.

The end of the hero, the influence of Datang Entertainment is far less than before.But even if Datang Entertainment declined, people in the circle still respect Ye Zhengfang, a strong woman.Because many of the top artists in the current circle are all promoted by Ye Zhengfang.

Ye Zhengfang has been in charge of Datang Entertainment for so many years, and he has never exploited artists like other bosses. Sometimes the resources may not be so much, but he has never said that he is the kind of vampire who has no bottom line.After so many artists left Datang Entertainment in these years, the fact that they have never said a bad word about Datang Entertainment is enough to prove Ye Zhengfang's character.

Su Yang doesn't know the purpose of Ye Zhengfang's invitation to dinner.But this face, Su Yang still has to give it.After all, this circle is all about connections.Su Yang is not a dog, anyone will bite.

People have released goodwill, if it is not harmful to themselves, why reject it.

Su Yang's answer made Lin Zhenghui laugh too.My impression of Su Yang has improved a bit. Who said that Su Yang is difficult to get along with, but he is actually quite a nice person.

Today's shooting ended very early.

After seven o'clock, it was announced that it was over. Su Yang went back to the hotel where the crew stayed, took a shower, changed his clothes, and set off.

I drove to an elegant private kitchen. The decoration inside was very elegant, and the inside was very quiet, not too lively.

"Boss Ye, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

After opening the door of the box, Su Yang saw Ye Zhengfang at a glance.

Ye Zhengfang is a very elegant person. Although he is 46 years old this year, he looks very capable.

"President Su, you're welcome. I just arrived too. Please sit down..."

Ye Zhengfang smiled slightly, and Su Yang sat down without being polite.

The whole box is not big, decorated in Chinese style, with appropriate lighting, it looks very friendly.A corner of the box is lit with sandalwood, which is very charming.

"I've wanted to get to know Mr. Su for a long time. It's just that I never had the chance, but we have met Shuyao a few times..."

The two chatted briefly.Ye Zhengfang and Su Yang have never dealt with each other, but she has had contact with Qin Shuyao a few times, but it can only be said that they have met a few times.

After all, Qin Shuyao is in the singing circle, while Datang Entertainment is mainly in the film and television circle, or in other words, mainly in the TV drama circle.

"President Su, actually I asked you out this time. I just wanted to see if there is any chance for us to cooperate. To tell you the truth, our life at Datang Entertainment is not easy. There are also some problems within the company, but there are some things that need to be addressed." It’s not going to happen overnight.”

Ye Zhengfang sighed, Datang Entertainment had already fallen from the altar.The reason for the decline of Datang Entertainment is not only the lack of resources, the departure of artists, but also the loss of talents.

At the same time, there is another main reason.That is the decline of the subject matter that Datang Entertainment is good at.

What subjects is Datang Entertainment good at?There is no doubt that even the audience knows that Datang Entertainment is good at costume dramas.There are many high-quality costume dramas produced by Datang Entertainment.

But in the past few years, costume dramas have declined.This kind of decline directly caused Datang Entertainment's performance to decline sharply, and then entered a vicious circle.

The company's performance has declined and resources have decreased, which has led to insufficient company resources, and insufficient resources have caused some artists to leave.After a large number of artists left, the performance continued to decline, and then this cycle continued.

Ye Zhengfang's words made Su Yang silent.

"Mr. Ye, I think you should talk to Mr. Tang about this matter. Mr. Tang has the final say on the company's affairs."

Su Yang really didn't know how to solve it, so he simply pushed the matter out.Hearing Su Yang's words, Ye Zhengfang laughed mysteriously.

"Really? As long as Mr. Tang agrees, you will agree? Mr. Su, everyone knows some things. Although Tang Qing is the president of the company, you and Shuyao are the major shareholders of the company. I am afraid that many things still need you to come." Are you in charge?"

Ye Zhengfang continued to speak, which made Su Yang laugh too.

"Mr. Ye, you really guessed wrong on this point. Although Shuyao and I are the major shareholders, Sister Qing really had the final say on the company's affairs at that time. The management rights of the company are all in Sister Qing's hands. I this People don't know how to manage a company, let alone Shuyao. There is no doubt about employing people, so our Qingyao Media is all run by sister Qing. When the company was established, we clearly divided the labor. I am in charge of the content, and she is in charge of management. As for each other's money It doesn’t matter if the money is more or less, as long as it’s enough to spend.”

Su Yang said with a smile, Ye Zhengfang laughed when he heard this.Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, little girl, come here. It seems that if you don't come here, we won't be able to discuss this matter."

Ye Zhengfang said to the phone with a smile, Su Yang was taken aback by what he said.what's the situation?Could it be that Ye Zhengfang and Tang Qing have a good relationship?Just when Su Yang was at a loss, the door of the room opened, and Tang Qing walked in with a smile on his face.

Chapter 392 Strong Alliance: A Lean Camel Is Bigger Than a Horse

"Sister-in-law, let me just talk. Just talk to me. You have to call him over."

Tang Qing looked at Ye Zhengfang and said, Su Yang was completely stunned by a little girl.What's the situation, Ye Zhengfang is Tang Qing's sister-in-law?This is also a different surname?

Seeing Su Yang's expression, Ye Zhengfang also laughed.

"Su Yang, let me introduce you. Mr. Ye, my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law follows my grandma's last name."

Tang Qing said with a smile.

"Dear?"

Su Yang asked in confusion.I had investigated some information about Tang Qing before, but I didn't find this point.

"Honey, haha, don't get entangled. As for why I have a sister-in-law, that's a matter of my grandfather's generation. In short, you just know that Ye is always my sister-in-law. The reason why I entered the entertainment circle is It is because of my sister-in-law's influence that my sister-in-law has helped me settle many things over the years."

Tang Qing said with a smile, Su Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the old man is the real master.

"Mr. Ye, you should have said earlier about this relationship. In my heart, Sister Qing is my own sister. You are Sister Qing's sister-in-law, so you are also my sister-in-law. Why are you being polite about your own family's affairs. Sister-in-law, You say how you want to cooperate, and you have the final say.”

Su Yang's words made Tang Qing and Ye Zhengfang laugh directly.

"Sister-in-law, let me just say it. This guy is a monkey, you give a stick, and he will climb up along the stick."

Su Yang called "Sister-in-law", which made Tang Qing's face full of smiles.Ye Zhengfang also felt a lot more cordial. In fact, Ye Zhengfang still knew a lot about the relationship between Tang Qing and Su Yang, and even knew more about the situation than Su Yang imagined.

"Since you call me sister-in-law, then I won't be polite. Then I will call you Yangyang from now on."

Ye Zhengfang said jokingly.

"That's naturally no problem. I haven't had an aunt since I was a child, and it's a great thing to suddenly have an aunt. Sister, if you have something to do in the future, just let me know, and I will definitely come here as soon as possible."

Su Yang said with a smile, Ye Zhengfang is Tang Qing's sister-in-law, and this relationship will be powerful once they develop.A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Datang Entertainment has declined, Ye Zhengfang's resources and contacts are still very powerful.What's more, now that Su Yang knows that Ye Zhengfang is Tang Qing's sister-in-law, the entire Tang family is behind Ye Zhengfang.

"Yangyang, everyone knows your talent. I called you here today to see if you have similar scripts. Although our Datang Entertainment has fallen, the production team is still there, and there are artists. Now the only one is Not a great script."

Ye Zhengfang said directly.As a well-established entertainment company, Datang Entertainment naturally has perfect departments.Whether it is an artist, a filming team, or a director, there are actually quite a few.

But there are not too good screenwriters, not too good scripts.In fact, in China, many film and television companies have a common problem, that is, they don't pay enough attention to screenwriters.

Often the budget of a work, the screenwriter's budget is always very small.

They can offer exorbitant remuneration to the director, and they can offer exorbitant remuneration to the leading actors, but they are unwilling to pay exorbitant prices to the screenwriter.

For example, for a play, if the director can get 1000 million in salary, then the screenwriter probably can get 100 million.Because well-known directors and actors have celebrity effects, they can attract traffic.In contrast, well-known screenwriters are much worse.So over the years, everyone knows that the screenwriter is important, but the reason why they are unwilling to pay the screenwriter more.

However, in Qingyao Media, this situation has changed a lot.Qingyao Media also has its own screenwriting team, and their income is very high.

These people were also poached by Qingyao Media from other companies.After coming to Qingyao Media, the wages of these people are generally doubled directly, and the benefits are against the sky.

Some even directly doubled several times, and the working atmosphere is very good, and there are many bonuses.

Of course, these expenditures also have rich returns.For example, Su Yang no longer participated in the script of "Love Apartment", but the screenwriting team still polished the script very well, ensuring the longevity of this IP.

Another example is "Wulin Biography", the [-]th episode of the first season of "Wulin Biography" has been broadcast.However, Qingyao Media is unwilling to lose this IP. Currently, the entire screenwriting team is polishing the script for the second season.

Although the progress is not fast, compared with the gourd painting, with the first season as a reference, the current progress is still good.After the script is polished, the second season can start filming. As long as you put your heart into it, this IP can still become a cash cow.

Such examples abound, whether it is a TV series, movie or animation, the core thing is the story.Without a good script, no good director can make a good work, and no good actor can perform a good work.

"Sister-in-law, there is no problem with the script. I'll go back and think about what themes you want."

Ye Zhengfang was taken aback by Su Yang's words, and Tang Qing was amused by this expression.

"Haha, sister, you can just talk about whatever subject you want. This bastard has so many stories in his head, anyway, since he said it, you can just talk about it."

Tang Qing is very confident in Su Yang's talent. Now that Su Yang dares to say such big words, Tang Qing feels that Su Yang must be prepared.

"The best is a costume drama. Our Datang Entertainment has strong production experience in this area..."

Ye Zhengfang said in a low voice.

For costume dramas, Datang Entertainment really succeeds in costume dramas, and also fails in costume dramas.Because of the glory of costume dramas, but also because of the decline of costume dramas.

Now the costume dramas are badly filmed by major film and television companies, and even Datang Entertainment has a taste of exhaustion, and the stories it shoots are always not exciting enough, not attractive enough.

In fact, some people still like to watch costume dramas, but the premise is that this costume drama must be good-looking.There are so many costume dramas nowadays, they are all the same, and the routines are all the same routines. Everyone is tired of watching them.

After Ye Zhengfang finished speaking, she looked at Su Yang, and Tang Qing also looked at Su Yang. Su Yang sat there quietly, looked at the two of them and finally nodded.

"No problem. I wrote a script before. I'll sort it out for Sister Qing in the past two days. As for how to cooperate, you can discuss it yourself..."

Su Yang nodded, costume drama, no problem.There is no problem with cooperation. Anyway, there are enough good dramas in the mall, and it is impossible to shoot all the dramas by ourselves.Take out some relatively good dramas and hand them over to other people to shoot, how cool it is to make money by yourself.

Su Yang's words made Ye Zhengfang laugh, but she still sighed secretly in her heart.He just said to give the script to Tang Qing, but not to himself directly.

To put it bluntly, I still need to discuss how to cooperate with my niece.According to Tang Qing's character, he will definitely not suffer.Don't look at yourself as Tang Qing's sister-in-law, but Tang Qing is addicted to making voices now. Relationships are relationships, and business is business. Even a pro-sister-in-law must settle accounts clearly.

But Ye Zhengfang didn't care, they were all from her own family, and it didn't matter who earned more or less.From the perspective of Datang Entertainment, being able to cooperate with Su Yang is the biggest good news.

Now Ye Zhengfang is not too ambitious.What she wants to do now is to take good care of the few artists who stayed in Datang Entertainment.After all, in the most difficult time, these people did not choose to leave, and Ye Zhengfang was very pleased and even felt guilty about their choice.

Although they were created by themselves, but when people go to high places, especially in the entertainment industry, favors are often not very valuable.If these people leave Datang Entertainment, with their popularity and strength, they will definitely do better than they are now.

But they didn't leave, they supported Datang Entertainment's building so that it didn't collapse, this kind of favor is rare.

The atmosphere in the box was very good, and the three of them had a happy dinner here.
