Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 272: Alternative Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Industry (7)
Both parties seemed very patient and not impulsive.
Sitting together and talking to each other, after Shen Yao got Lu Xian's contact information, her goal was temporarily achieved and she could finally retire with honor.
Anyway, investment is a matter of time. Since Lu Xian himself is an actor, the proportion of his investments in the entertainment industry has always been high.
Last year, he made hundreds of millions thanks to the success of a Lunar New Year comedy.
Shen Yao believed that her script was not bad, and Lu Xian was not the kind of talkative investor. If she could successfully get someone to join, it would be quite worthwhile for Shen Yao to exchange the little money she lost for independence.
"Mr. Lu, it's getting late. I'm busy here. I'll invite you back when I get back to Beijing."
It cannot be cut off. In Shen Yao's eyes, Lu Xian is now a piece of fresh and delicious fragrant meat. She has to eat it no matter what.
Even though the meat looks chewy, it still hurts your teeth.
Lu Xian, unaware of his own gritting his teeth, watched Shen Yao leave. He did not refuse her invitation after she returned to Beijing. He lowered his head, and between his pretty fingertips was a thin business card with Shen Yao's contact information on it.
Star Films, Shen Yao
Maybe he was invited to invest? Although the other party didn't say it directly, Lu Xian knew what he lacked the most.
People in the entertainment industry would approach him on their own initiative, either for money or for people, and I believe Shen Yao would be no exception.
Shen Yao, who had already left, walked briskly. If she could hear Lu Xian's inner voice, she would definitely praise him for being smart. She was rather greedy and wanted both money and people.
"It's not easy to get into the circle, I would be sorry if I don't make a lot of money from it."
Shen Yao crossed her arms, her eyes fixed on the paparazzi who were driving over not far away, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Her schedule was quite tight, so she had to go to Director Zheng to give him some instructions, and also warn the male and female protagonists of the crew not to cause trouble for her recently.
"Those paparazzi are here to catch the cheating of the best actor and actress. We don't have enough presence, so we'll be cannon fodder if we get close enough."
Shen Yao, who heard everything the system said, quietly reminded Director Zheng to pay more attention to the crew. They were not as successful as the movie stars. If they were swept into the tail of the typhoon, they would suffer serious injuries at best and even death at worst.
Director Zheng: …
Although Director Zheng looks big and strong, he is actually a sensitive and fragile person, and is still a baby who needs care and love.
After hearing what Shen Yao said, Director Zheng immediately accelerated the filming progress of the crew.
The male and female protagonists who were originally wandering around were all called in by Director Zheng to be drafted into the army. Director Zheng was afraid that the two would cause trouble and accidentally bury the entire crew.
Shen Yao: ...That's not necessary.
"Boss Shen, don't worry. With me, Old Zheng, here, I will make sure this drama doesn't go to waste."
Director Zheng patted his chest and made the assurance, and at the same time did not forget to warn the other crew members not to cause trouble. The situation at the film and television base was tense recently, and if they didn't want to lose their jobs, they had to be obedient and keep their mouths shut.
Everyone in the crew: ...
"Director, you're really awesome. There's a private party in a couple of days, so we can't go there now."
The male protagonist Li Zekai muttered to himself that he was an idol who debuted through a talent show. He has always had a lot of traffic because of his good looks, but he has never had any outstanding works, which has resulted in him becoming more passive as he gets older.
The reason he was able to take on the role in Director Zheng's new film was because his agent had some connections and heard about the extraordinary potential of "Smoke and Willows". With the mentality of taking a gamble, he signed a pledge in front of his boss.
Li Zekai joined this new drama almost for free, and has paid so much (mainly money) but has not received any reward. Even if he doesn't bow his head and beg for support, he won't be able to hold out for too long, because it's hard to get into this circle.
"Zekai, we've suffered a lot to make this drama a success. Now Director Zheng's "Smoke and Willow" is getting better and better every day. The boss has called us and said that as long as the drama is safely finished, your share of the contract can be changed in advance."
I am afraid that Li Zekai will really go after someone powerful. It is not that the agent likes his own artists, but the artists who come from talent shows have high requirements. Do they think those fans who spend money are really stupid? You dare to sell yourself out, and then you stop being fans and step on them.
Li Zekai has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has been considered to be very clean, which is the main reason why he still has fans who buy into his acting skills despite his mediocre acting skills.
Once Li Zekai takes that step, his agent can guarantee that he will be completely ruined.
After hearing such consolation, Li Zekai evaluated in his mind and decided to give up the private party for the time being. The new drama has been filmed halfway, and they can also learn about the situation of "Smoke and Willow" through their mobile phones in the crew. There is really no need to go to extremes at this time.
"I'll listen to Sister Zhou. I won't go to the party. I'll stay in the crew and study the script, and try to make this play the next 'Smoke and Willow'."
After Li Zekai finished speaking, he picked up the script and went to find the heroine to rehearse his lines.
The agent nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this. Fortunately, he had stopped the man.
But recently she can't leave, she has to stay here to look after her own artists. The film and television base will always be short of popular idol stars. She is really afraid that Li Zekai will take shortcuts and ruin his career.
Their company is not big, and Li Zekai is the most famous one among them. If this doesn't work, she can only choose to change jobs to keep her job.
Please don’t let it come to that, Sister Zhou prayed in her heart, hoping that the drama in front of her would be a hit. She didn’t expect it to be as big a hit as “Smoke and Willow”, but she would be satisfied with a small hit.
……
Shen Yao, who has returned to Beijing, has completely put aside the affairs at the film and television base.
Now, she is sitting in the office of Xingxing Film and Television watching the ratings of "Smoke and Willow".
Oh, to be precise, it depends on money. After all, if the plot on the website wants to be popular, it all depends on the members' real money.
The curve chart in Shen Yao's hand was sent to her by Zhou Dan on purpose. The purpose was obvious, which was to make Shen Yao happy and discuss the signing of the next new drama.
Tapping the table with her fingers, Shen Yao asked Ma Qingjian to estimate the profits they would get based on the table.
Ma Qingjian pushed his glasses and said, "The first dividend won't be too high. The drama hasn't been finished yet, so it will be about 20 million." When "Smoke and Willow" comes to an end, membership and advertising revenue will surely reach a higher level.
After calculating all the possibilities, Ma Qingjian exhaled, "Boss Shen, this money will be enough to shoot the drama that was shelved after it arrives."
You don't even have to save money on hiring actors, as the best actor and actress awards can be negotiated.
Shen Yao smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I plan to co-shoot the next play, and I will be more cautious about the actors then.
Now we have to wait for the end of "The Story of the Smoky Willows" and prepare the hot searches in advance, so as to get a good viewership rating for the finale."
For example, breaking a record or something like that is a common practice in the entertainment industry. She doesn’t know whether it is useful or not, but it is useful to her fans.
Ma Qing nodded and mentioned that Tang Yuan wanted to invite Shen Yao to dinner.
Shen Yao shook her head. "She turned over this time, why doesn't she clean up the troubles she has caused? How can she still be in the mood to treat me to a meal?"
Shen Yao felt that Tang Yuan was an interesting woman. If she continued to be like this, she might be dragged down by her rivals one day.
"Forget about the meal. We may have a chance to cooperate in the future," Shen Yao said politely, with no intention of paying any attention to Tang Yuan at all.
Tang Yuan was a little angry. She has been very popular recently because of the hit drama "Smoke and Willow". The hot searches that were not very frequent before have become her circle of friends, and even a casual photo can be booked in the top ten.
Such a scene made the originally honest Tang Yuan continue to stick his tail up.
He complained to his agent that Shen Yao didn't give him face. His pay has increased several times now, and with the scale of Xingxing Film and Television, they really can't afford her.
"Forget it. She's not available and I'm busy." Tang Yuan looked at herself in the makeup mirror that was as tall as a person. "Didn't you say you invited me to a party? We must borrow a set of high-end couture this time."
When she was down and out, she couldn't get high-end brands, let alone ordinary brands. Now that she is popular again, she has received a thick pile of advertisements.
This is the reality of the entertainment industry. Not only Tang Yuan, but several other characters have also become popular to varying degrees, and have used this popularity to seek benefits for themselves.
The popularity of "Smoke and Willow" not only made money for Xingxing Films and EeE website, but also brought considerable benefits to a series of people who served it in front of and behind the scenes.
This is also the reason why so many people want to get into the entertainment industry. It is really profitable. Just by watching a movie, you can earn 100% profit. Who wouldn’t be envious?
……
On the day of the finale of "Smoke and Willows", the E-E- website held a closing live broadcast.
Several main characters in the plot were present, and Shen Yao appeared as the producer on behalf of Director Zheng who was filming at a film and television base.
This is also Shen Yao's other official appearance after the press conference.
Apart from anything else, Shen Yao's face, which is no less beautiful than those of female stars in the entertainment industry, made her popular on the Internet.
Later, it was discovered that Shen Yao attended a university. In short, Shen Yao experienced the feeling of being a star.
Fortunately, Shen Yao doesn't act, she just likes to hide behind the scenes and make money secretly. Such popularity will soon fade away.
It was August, and Director Zheng, who had already finished filming the new drama, handed the unedited plot to Shen Yao, and then he retreated again to ponder the palace fighting script.
Shen Yao had a showdown with Director Zheng. They had made a lot of money from "Smoke and Willows", and they thought the palace fighting drama could be made into a big one. She told Director Zheng to go for it and she fully supported him.
Director Zheng was naturally eager to get started when he heard this. He didn't even ask for a break and dived straight into the ocean of scripts.
From what the other party said, he would continue to make revisions, and it would be best to straighten out the main and side plots before selecting the characters. He would also try his best to keep the original flavor of the novel, including restoring the costumes as much as possible, and strive to make a masterpiece that would make him famous in history.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao expressed her respect for Director Zheng's ambitions. A separate sum of money has been transferred to a new account. What she has to do now is to negotiate the latest web drama contract with Goose Film and Television.
With "Smoke and Willow" as the foundation, this light comedy "Happy Family" will naturally not be too bad.
Shen Yao asked for S-level treatment, and she was confident that the drama would be a big hit.
Zhou Dan: …
Zhou Dan didn't expect that this person was so ruthless. He asked for S-level treatment right away, which even popular young actors and actresses might not be able to get.
"Producer Shen, are you a little too confident?" Zhou Dan felt that Shen Yao might have been dazzled by the effective popularity of "Smoke and Willows". What the outcome of "Happy Family" will be would still depend on the situation after it is released.
"Director Zhou, we have another palace drama with a large investment coming up. It is the top priority of all our projects this year."
What this means is that if you want to get the priority negotiation rights, it depends on the sincerity and attitude of the Goose Goose website.
Zhou Dan: …
Zhou Dan was overwhelmed by Shen Yao's confidence. She didn't understand why Shen Yao said that, and no one knew whether the new play was good or not.
Shen Yao smiled faintly, "The new play is a joint venture, and we plan to invite several veteran stars to join. The production will definitely be compared to "Clue" broadcast last year. I believe Director Zhou can understand."
Zhou Dan looked surprised. Of course she knew the drama "Clue", which was known as the most expensive drama in the entertainment industry. The supporting roles alone received all the honors, and the drama was broadcast on the national TV station. The effect was unexpectedly good.
"Producer Shen, are you serious?"
Compared with the investment in "Clue", which requires at least 100 million words, it is not wrong for Xingxing Film and Television to ask for a joint venture, after all, this can also share the pressure.
"Director Zhou, I know it's a bit presumptuous to say this, but you are familiar with the situation of Xingxing Film and Television. If this drama is rated S-level, the Goose Goose website will not lose money."
The style of "Happy Family" is stress-relieving. It is more suitable for watching than "Smoke and Willows", and it is a style suitable for all ages.
The screenwriter's adaptation is also very good. At least Shen Yao feels that this drama has more potential to become a big hit than "Smoke and Willow".
Finally, "Happy Family" was signed by the Goose Goose website with S-level treatment.
Zhou Dan also assured Shen Yao that if the drama could be handled in a timely manner, she would arrange for it to be released during the prime time, which is during the Chinese New Year.
"No problem, I will try my best to arrange it," Shen Yao felt that the production speed of online dramas was much faster than that of TV dramas. As long as she finished editing the drama, it would surely be released smoothly during the Spring Festival.
In October, Shen Yao had already edited the plot of "Happy Family".
There are a total of forty episodes, and the characters and plot are quite rich.
The necessary procedures are in progress, but judging from the timing of the Spring Festival, there is still time.
Shen Yao was no longer anxious, but instead busy herself with her studies which she had neglected for a long time.
But as a college student, she is studying management, and the teachers are lenient with her requirements. As long as there are no problems with the exams, they will not make things difficult for Shen Yao.
Shen Yao goes to school occasionally, but spends most of her time busy with her own affairs.
The cell phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, but it looked familiar.
Raising her eyebrows, Shen Yao picked up the call and joked with the other party with a smile. She didn't expect that it was Lu Xian who contacted her. She thought the other party would be able to keep his composure.
Lu Xian said directly, "Ms. Shen's Xingxing Film and Television is developing very well, and I am afraid that Miss Shen will forget it."
This was an allusion to the invitation Shen Yao had said when they were at the film and television base. As a result, Lu Xian waited and waited but didn't meet the other party, so he had to take out the business card he had saved to contact her.
