Chapter six hundred and thirty-eight original intention
The Oriole Festival Organizing Committee has set up exhibition halls for various film and television production units to promote their respective TV series.
There are conference rooms and cafes in the exhibition hall for everyone to chat and talk about things.
The booth of Good Dream Company and the Beijing TV Art Center are together. Various posters are posted on the booth, and the TV series is played one after another on the big screen.
As one of the largest TV series production units in China, the Art Center produces hundreds of TV series every year.
Not all of these dramas can be sold well. Most TV dramas are not invested in high investment, barely guaranteed capital, and some cannot be broadcast on TV. They can only sell audio and video copyrights at low prices.
This is normal, just like a movie. Even though you know that some movies will lose money after being filmed, you still have to film them.
For example, if you have films and TV dramas that reflect rural themes, eight out of ten films will lose money.
The Art Center invests in three to four major productions every year. As long as these dramas are sold well, you can make up for the losses.
This year, the focus of promoting "The Legend of the White Snake" and a professional drama with doctor theme starring Zhang Jiayi, as well as a historical drama directed and directed by Zhang Guoli.
Lin Zixuan came over to show off his face, and the specific publicity work was undertaken by the actors and company staff.
When he left, he saw Xiaoye beside him.
Xiao Ye is responsible for Liu Tao's daily itinerary.
Although Liu Tao is not famous yet, as the starring actor of "The Legend of White Snake", there will be media interviews and photos.
The content of the interview and the effect of taking photos must be understood clearly, and no negative news can occur. The agent needs to take care of all aspects of the artist, including his private life.
This is Xiaoye's first time participating in the Oriole Festival, and it is also the first time he is responsible for the itinerary of the starring actors, and he is still adapting.
"No problem, right?" Lin Zixuan asked.
"No, Mr. Lin." Xiao Ye was startled and answered quickly.
She thought Lin Zixuan would walk past her, and she just had to smile politely, but she didn't expect that Lin Zixuan stopped to talk to her, and she was a little suddenly.
"They will be finished in a while. Let's go to the cafe over there to chat with you." Lin Zixuan suggested.
"Okay." Xiaoye nodded.
She looked in the stands. Liu Tao and Huang Xiaoming were promoting the TV series, which would probably take about half an hour.
Walking into the cafe, the two found a seat to sit down.
"You have been in the company for half a year. How do you feel? What do you think?" Lin Zixuan asked casually.
"Everything is pretty good." Xiao Ye responded.
She didn't know what Lin Zixuan wanted to talk about, and she was uneasy.
"Don't be nervous, just chat casually. If you want to hear your thoughts, the company must have shortcomings and needs to be constantly improved." Lin Zixuan comforted, "The job of an agent is quite cumbersome, but he has the opportunity to contact various departments of the company, as well as crews and media. You are the people who know the company the best."
This is a fact.
Agents should be clear about the company's various projects, strive for roles for actors, be familiar with them from screenwriters to directors, and deal with the media and master the dynamics of other film and television companies.
The most important thing is that they understand the actors in their hands.
It can be said that brokers have natural advantages in inquiring about information.
Xiao Ye originally thought Lin Zixuan was praising her, but when he thought about it carefully, didn’t this say that she likes gossip?
Just gossip, she doesn't care much, as long as it's not a job problem.
"Mr. Lin, I haven't been in the company for a long time and can't say anything. I think the company should give the lower-level actors more opportunities? They have potential, but they lack a drama. As long as they are given the opportunity, they will definitely become popular." Xiao Ye promised.
With her professional habit, she began to promote the actors in her hands.
"It's not that you don't give a chance, but you still have to be tempered. The time has not come." Lin Zixuan smiled and took a sip of coffee.
During their chat, people in the cafe come in and out, and those who come here are all insiders. Many people recognize Lin Zixuan, and friends who are familiar with each other will come over to say hello.
Those who can get involved with Lin Zixuan are all well-known people in the circle.
"This is our company's agent Xiao Ye, so I will take more care of you in the future." Lin Zixuan introduced.
After Lin Zixuan said this more, Xiao Ye received a lot of business cards, including the boss of a film and television company, the well-known directors and screenwriters in the industry, and the editor-in-chief of the media.
This is a circle she usually cannot reach.
Agents need to manage good connections in the circle in order to win good roles for actors. When an actor becomes famous, the status of an agent will also rise.
Lin Zixuan doesn’t mind paving the way for employees. Whether Xiao Ye can use these relationships well depends on his personal ability.
Some people will mess up even if they pave the way for them.
"How is Liu Tao's condition? After filming this drama, she will arrange two more dramas. Whether she can go to the front line depends on her own performance." Lin Zixuan planned.
It is impossible for Liu Tao to go to the front line with "The Legend of the White Snake". The first-line actors are not Da Baicai.
On the one hand, the company provides resources and supports, but also requires its own efforts and opportunities.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, Liu Tao memorizes lines every day, thinking about how to perform. If you make great progress, you will definitely not disappoint the company." Xiao Ye was excited and said it was easy for Liu Tao.
"Okay, is there anything else?" Lin Zixuan was about to leave.
"There's one more thing." Xiao Ye hesitated, "Huang Bo plans to take the acting department of the Film Academy next year, but he will not affect the company's work. I will make arrangements for him."
Xiao Ye didn't know what the company thought about this matter. Huang Bo's work in the Film Academy must have conflicts with the company's work.
Four years have passed, and when Huang Bo graduated from the Film Academy, his contract with Haomeng Company expired.
Who knows whether the company will give up Huang Bo because of this? Huang Bo is not very famous now.
Xiao Ye thought about Huang Bo. As long as the contract with the company was not terminated, there would be a monthly living allowance and a play can be performed and would not be forgotten by the audience.
"I understand, being motivated is a good thing, and the company will provide him with convenience." Lin Zixuan said, "Tell him not to go to those messy art exam tutoring classes. There are so many graduates from our company's film academy, and it is better to find individual tutoring classes than those tutoring classes."
With the development of the film and television industry, the enrollment of major art schools in Beijing has become popular.
This gave birth to a number of art exam tutoring classes, which are said to be taught by teachers from the Art Academy. You can pass the exam by just paying money. Each major clearly marked the price, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands.
Most of them are liars, and there are also behind-the-scenes operations by teachers in art schools.
Parents can only pay for their children's dream of becoming celebrities. However, there are very few students in so many art school students who eventually become celebrities, and it is very likely that they will become girls on stage.
"Mr. Lin, did you agree?" Xiao Ye said in surprise.
"Why didn't I agree? The company should also consider employees. It is good for you to think about actors. The agent and actors grow together are friends, not relationships between superiors and subordinates." Lin Zixuan reminded, "You must maintain this original intention and don't forget."
