Chapter 92 Showdown!
After receiving Wei Jiahui's reply, he said that he had completed Liang Jiahui's contract for "Embroidered Chunjian", Shao Yingxiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he had this contract in hand, even if Liang Jiahui ran, he must appear in the movie "Embroidered Chunjian", otherwise the huge liquidated damages would be more than just a number of contracts.
After completing the above plan, Shao Yingxiong began to fully enter a state of promoting people. He first led all the members of "Soldier Assault" to start publicity, and then began to promote in all interview programs that "Wang Baoqiang is a very good actor, who can endure hardships and be obedient, and he will almost not refute any arrangements of the director in the crew. We will give full play to such actors." Turning back, Shao Yingxiong began to praise Chen Sicheng again in another program team, he said, "Chen Sicheng is very talented,"
He is the kind of genius who can make people feel amazing, otherwise his studio would not have invested money to let Chen Sicheng film "Beijing Love Story" after filming "Soldier Assault". Of course, Shao Yingxiong praised not only these two, Wen Zhang, Tong Dawei, Li Chen, and a series of artists who signed contracts with the studio and were in a rising trend, all praised them. As long as their new TV series is broadcast, Shao Yingxiong will definitely be there to say a few good words.
During the extremely busy period of Shao Yingxiong, "Soldier Assault" appeared on the small screen. There was no female character, focusing on brotherhood, comrades and men, and the film that served as a soldier attracted the popularity of ratings once it was broadcast.
Unfortunately, there are many types of TV series at present, and it is obviously impossible to make "Soldier Assault" the effect of shooting and starring Shao Yingxiong. In the year when Shao Yingxiong left the small screen, few TV series even exceeded 30% of the national ratings, which shows that people have more choices. As long as the TV series you shoot has flaws or cannot catch your eye, the people will change the channel and will not give you any face.
At this point, Kang Honglei was very smart. He did not make "Soldier Assault" a series of suspenseful TV series, nor did he show the killing between military brigades. He chose to highlight human nature. Xu Sanduo, Chengcai, Wu Liuyi, Yuan Lang and other soldiers were placed in front of everyone with flesh and blood and emotions. He told all the audience bluntly that they were also humans and they were selfish. They would also look down on others while shouting slogans.
Kang Honglei succeeded, "Soldier Assault", the increase in viewership rate is unimaginable to the current TV series. Because the times have changed.
The news that the film was popular across the country reached the crew of "Beijing Love Story". Chen Sicheng, who was filming a TV series, was wearing a military coat and filming a TV series while grinning with a dimples. He felt that he was on the right path, and he was immediately promoted after signing a contract with Shao Yingxiong Studio. Not only did he become a director, but "Beijing Love Story" also quickly started filming.
The same idea was also "Zhang Yi". At the beginning, Zhang Yi was a gunman for a famous screenwriter and lived on his poor royalties. He had to be hungry if he didn't live. At that time, no one asked him to act. He was able to act in "Soldier Assault" because he played Yuan Langhe in the "Erner Assault" drama. Unexpectedly, the director and screenwriter of "Soldier Assault" insisted that he played Shi Jin, and even brought him to the superstar Shao Yingxiong. This meeting actually led him to get a five-year contract after 2005 of "Shao Yingxiong Studio". This time, it was really a surprise.
Without this contract, he would not know Chen Sicheng. Without friendship in "Soldier Assault", he would not be able to play an important figure in "Beijing Love Story".
And the starting point of all this was because he met Shao Yingxiong and got the contract.
The hit "Soldier Assault" made Shao Yingxiong's studio earn another 42 million yuan. This is not gross profit but pure profit, because "Soldier Assault" operated by Shao Yingxiong did not follow the old path of the original drama!
The original "Soldier Assault" did not make much money. In history, Wang Baoqiang's single-episode pay for less than 10,000 yuan in the play (because he starred in "Blind Well" and "The World Without Thieves"), and the others' pay was even lower. However, this TV series has no female roles and the status of men supporting the sky, and it was not favored by any TV station. In the end, the money earned in the first three rounds of broadcasts remained the same, and the two producers only paid 300,000 yuan each. That's right, the profit of the entire "Soldier Assault" was only 600,000 yuan, and Shao Yingxiong also found Wang Zhonglei in his computer to face it.
The original words said in the media: "The industry generally believes that a series as popular as "Soldier Assault" can earn at least 5 million yuan. As a result, the reporter learned that "Soldier Assault" only earned 600,000 yuan. The drama was jointly produced by two producers, so the two producers each received 300,000 yuan. Yesterday, the reporter asked Wang Zhonglei that although he was unwilling to admit the specific amount, he admitted that the economic benefits were average. Because the outside world was not optimistic at the beginning, it was later popular on the Internet, so the second round of broadcast gradually gained attention from the TV station."
Did you see it? Even if the soldier assault was later popular, the media only predicted that it would earn 5 million!
The problem is that the actors are not famous, the production is not grand, and the investment is not large, which makes major TV stations not expect, which leads to collective disapproval. Even the time when the Internet is popular is broadcasted after the second round, which means that the second round of broadcast rights has been sold at that time. How much can the third round alone sell and audio-visual products profit?
However, Shao Yingxiong did not sell according to the sales method of the original drama. He was backed by CCTV as the big tree, which is capital. However, he could not rely on the sky-high price of this TV series, but only asked CCTV for the cost price of "Soldier Assault" and the 25% advertisement layered. It doesn't matter if CCTV is not optimistic about "Soldier Assault". Is your letter to Shao Yingxiong's name? After working for so many years, you can't even have no trust at all, right? As long as you believe and broadcast, all problems can be solved.
Yu Shengli also thought about it when he bought the film, but Shao Yingxiong's ratings in recent years have been too high. Whether it is the TV series he invested in or the starring himself, he made a lot of money. He didn't want to give up the TV series with the trademark "Shao Yingxiong Studio" to eight sets, so he could only barely agree.
Yu Shengli just agreed. Shao Yingxiong began to invest 5 million to hire a newly emerging profession for online hype. This profession is - the navy!
The navy he hired began to hype the Internet almost a month before the broadcast, some criticizing "Soldier Assault" and some praising "Soldier Assault". One by one, they kept saying that "Soldier Assault" had been leaked when it was not broadcast, and they had watched the whole show!
In fact, all this is nonsense!
There are not many TV series leaked before it is broadcast. It is adapted from the famous novel "The River in the Ancient Town". The novel is called "Rice". Later, it can only be remade, which has nothing to do with Shao Yingxiong's "Soldier Assault".
In 2004, when the Internet era was gradually taking shape, "Soldier Assault" became popular on the Internet before it was broadcast. In this case, "Soldier Assault".
At the same time, Wang Baoqiang's net worth jumped from a few thousand to 50,000. Chen Sicheng reached 40,000, and the other actors' net worth was collectively rising.
Wang Zhongjun saw the opportunity of "Soldier Assault" and began to call one by one. After all, the morale of signing new artists has improved for Huayi. Although Wang Jinghua has not had a showdown, it is probably the case in the past two days. He can't sit still and wait for death.
"Hey? Baoqiang? I am Wang Zhongjun. You haven't signed a company yet? (The world has not been filmed yet, and Feng Xiaogang first filmed "Night Banquet") Hua Yi wants to invite you to join and make every effort to create you. What do you think?"
"Wang, Mr. Wang... I'm signed the contract. I signed it before filming "Soldier Assault". If Director Kang doesn't sign the contract, he will not let me take the show..."
“Which company?”
"Mr. Wang. I have something to do, I'll call you back later..." Wang Baoqiang, who had just become famous, had no experience in dealing with a big boss like Wang Zhongjun. Shao Yingxiong issued a ban order again. How dare he speak at this moment? There is no other way except to hide.
Wang Zhongjun held the phone in his office and looked at the microphone and said, "Am I that scared?" He thought he was scared by Wang Baoqiang.
"Hey, Wen Zhang, "Struggle" is good. See when do you have time to come to the company and talk about the issue of renewal? After all, you signed a short contract with the company because of "Days Related to Youth"... What? Do you have diarrhea? Did you go to the hospital? The company will send you a car... Okay, go back to the hospital and don't let me worry about it..."
"Hey... Xiao Tong (Tong Dawei)..."
"Hello, I am Tong Dawei's assistant. Tong Dawei returns to his hometown. Who are you? Is there anything wrong?"
Bang.
Wang Zhongjun put down the phone, and he thought it was a bit strange.
Next, as President Huayi, no one answered the phone call to Chen Sicheng or Zhang Yi. The whole thing was so weird inside and out. The only explanation was only one, Wang Jinghua!
When, when, when, when.
The knock on the door in Wang Zhongjun's office rang, and Mr. Wang, who had put the phone on again, said with a hint of fatigue on his face: "Come in."
Wang Jinghua walked in, and Wang Jinghua pushed the door open and walked in, with no more respect on his face.
"Mr. Wang, isn't my contract coming to an end? Let me talk about the contract."
call!
Wang Zhongjun finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wang Jinghua was willing to discuss the contract issue, no one of the artists who expired in 2005 could leave. Wang Jinghua could keep these people in Huayi, turning this danger into a false alarm.
"Sit." Wang Zhongjun suddenly relaxed and looked a little ugly, and he seemed to have piled up his upright posture.
"Mr. Wang." Wang Jinghua said, "You have seen all the things I have done for Huayi over the years? When Shao Yingxiong and Huayi were having trouble, no one could handle it, it was me who held Shao Yingxiong down, right? I didn't say whether this was a great achievement, but I didn't seem to have received any reward. Shao Yingxiong's agent contract was transferred from you to me after this." Wang Jinghua counted the merit book: "Later, he opened a blog for all the artists in the company, and it was me who planned it. You praised me and turned around and handed over Huayi Music to Wang Zhonglei... I, Wang Jinghua, was disappointed."
Wang Zhongjun advised: "Leave Huayi Music to Zhonglei. This is a brother who hopes that his brother can support the sky. I hope he understands it."
"What about "Heroes of Heaven and Earth"? I have told you more than once that I want to be a producer again, right? As soon as "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was launched, the producer was still Wang Zhonglei. You know what the final result is..."
"The Heroes of Heaven and Earth..." Wang Zhongjun did not explain. He found that Wang Jinghua seemed to count the meritorious book in detail, but it didn't seem like he was going to renew his contract, but it seemed like he was coming to showdown!
"What do you mean?" Wang Zhongjun asked.
Wang Jinghua smiled: "I want to leave Huayi. This is my resignation letter. I will leave after the contract period next year."
Wang Zhongjun stopped talking, and no one could persuade Wang Jinghua at this time. He could not do much except wave his hand powerlessly and let Wang Jinghua go out and not be upset in front of him.
Wang Jinghua got up and slowly left the seat. There was no big quarrel between the two, but they were destined to part ways.
Bee, bee, bee.
At this time, the phone in the office rang. Wang Zhongjun picked up the phone and another thunder came from inside: "Zhongjun? I, Feng Xiaogang. I have already thought about the matter we talked about before. I still want to try it alone, but don't worry, when I get tired of staying outside, I will only go back to Huayi."
Wang Zhongjun's hand was shaking. Facing Wang Jinghua, who had stood up and did not leave, he barely controlled his hand, slowly put the phone back to its original position, and said, "Is there anything else?"
Wang Jinghua smiled and said, "Someone asked me to give Mr. Wang a message. Jiang Wen said that he also wanted to set up a studio by himself. After the contract period ended, he would not plan to renew his contract with the company."
"What!" Wang Zhongjun couldn't suppress it anymore. Suddenly, a loud shout came out. He reached out and took off his glasses. He seemed to feel that the frame was stuck and his ears were hurt.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Wang, as a reward for your years of cultivation, I will take away all the artists I have in my hands."
"Wang Jinghua, don't forget why you are today!"
Wang Jinghua shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang, I came today to let you not forget why you are today. If you think Wang Zhonglei can support the collapsed Huayi, you can try it." Wang Jinghua's face changed: "I don't want to lay the foundation with my own hands. Wang Zhonglei's name is hanging on the built building. Do you think this is fair?"
"Goodbye, Mr. Wang, before the contract period, I want to take sick leave. If you don't agree, I can come to work every day, as long as you don't feel annoyed."
"Get out!" Wang Zhongjun suddenly shouted in anger.
Wang Jinghua smiled happily and said, "I will just criticize you."
...
In the wild, a crew is filming. This is a chase scene, and a fugitive is chased by the police.
Zhen Jie plays a female policewoman, but he thinks the crew is quite amateur, with only one camera, one five staff, and even none of the actors who are filming are known to him. The most important thing is that this group of people doesn’t look professional no matter how you look at it. Even when acting, they deal with things. Is this really the crew?
She had doubts, but if this wasn't the crew, who would have created such a big formation? The scene has been filmed for two days, so can't I just create a crew just to deceive myself?
"Zhen Jie." Liu walked over with a smile, holding an envelope containing a stack of paper money.
"Producer Liu."
"Sorry, I had an urgent matter a few days ago. I took some money from you and I will pay it back to you now."
Zhen Jie took Da Liu's money and glanced at Da Liu and said, "Has the crew's money arrived?"
Liu sighed and said, "This group of god-killed people, we are probably going to find someone to invest again. The investor withdraws the investment... and pays back the money. People say that our crew cannot guarantee the benefits. Alas, I'm so worried."
Zhen Jie smiled, and she knew it was the result: "Producer Liu, how much does our crew invest in total?" She has read the script, and the script is very good, but the group of people filming are too bad.
"Not much, one million and two million, small production."
Zhen Jie nodded: "What if I can't get the investment?"
"Let's break up. I don't know how many crews in this circle have been broken up by these investors every year. It's a pity that they have a good book."
