1980 My literary era

Chang Jihong first studied art and worked as an artist, recorder, and assistant director on the set. In 1991, she met Jiang Wenli on the set. The two got along very well on the set. Later, Jiang Wenli asked her to be her agent.

At that time, the concept of agents had just been introduced to China, and few people in the actor industry used agents. Most of them were used by singers in the music industry, and there were specialized agencies.

When Chang Jihong became Jiang Wenli's manager, he didn't want to make money at first, it was all about fulfilling the sisterhood.

This year is already Chang Jihong’s fifth year as an agent.

The two jointly opened a company to handle Jiang Wenli's performance management affairs.

It is said to be a brokerage company, but in fact the company does not make much money. Chang Jihong's salary income mainly depends on Jiang Wenli's performance share.

In the second half of the year, Haiyan suddenly found her and said that he wanted to invite her to join Wencheng Film and Television as the head of the performance management department.

Chang Jihong ran her small company and never thought she would be poached one day.

Haiyan invited Chang Jihong to join Wencheng Film and Television. One condition was to close the small company she and Jiang Wenli co-founded. Jiang Wenli could sign an agent contract with Wencheng. After some discussion, she finally decided to join Wencheng Film and Television.

The reason is also very simple. Wencheng Film and Television has not been established for a long time, but one advantage is that it is backed by the Chinese Literature Society and has a strong background. Since its establishment, it has only produced two TV series, both of which were broadcast on CCTV and achieved impressive results.

Nowadays, there are not many private companies in the domestic TV drama production field, and most of them only get involved in the past one or two years. However, companies with background and capabilities like Wencheng Film and Television are rare. If Jiang Wenli signs a contract with Wencheng , it might be beneficial to her future development.

Chang Jihong came to Wencheng Film and Television to be in charge of the acting agency department. In addition to Jiang Wenli, the actor she was originally coaching, there were also a group of young actors from "Flower Season and Rainy Season". During this period, Haiyan used both soft and hard tactics to control the performances of these young actors. All the brokerage contracts were signed by Wencheng. As soon as Chang Jihong arrived, he had to be responsible for six or seven eggs, and he was extremely busy.

But before she could worry, "Flower Season and Rainy Season" was aired, the ratings exploded, and her group of young actors also exploded!

Today, Chang Jihong brought this group of young actors to the meeting.

Some of these little guys are still in high school and have not participated much in the promotion of the TV series. It was only during the recent winter vacation that she was able to get them together.

The young actors stayed together for several months while filming, and then separated after filming. When they met again, everyone was very happy and chatted non-stop together.

For these young actors, participating in the filming of "Flower Season and Rainy Season" was an unforgettable experience. Now that the TV series has just become popular, their names and faces have just become known to the public, and they have not yet become aware of being stars. Everyone was still laughing and joking when we met.

When Haiyan entered the conference room, Chang Jihong stood up and called "Mr. Hai" before the voices of the little guys dropped.

Haiyan was with the crew for a while during the filming of the TV series, so everyone knows his face.

Today, Haiyan called this group of actors over. Firstly, he asked Chang Jihong to lead these young actors to identify themselves. Secondly, he wanted to discuss with Chang Jihong the arrangements for them.

The script for Wencheng's next youth idol drama is already being written. It is based on Teacher Lin's opinions and is based on the life and love of college students.

"Flower Season and Rainy Season" tells the story of a group of high school students. The new drama is based on college life, and the actors are from the original cast. It will make the audience feel like watching a sequel. It will be very good for the promotion and broadcast of the next drama. The bonus effect.

In addition, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and others are already senior students in high school. They will face the college entrance examination next year and have signed contracts with Wencheng Film and Television. If they want to pursue the career of actors in the future, it is necessary to enter a professional art school.

Haiyan took great pains for this group of young actors and specially found teachers from Yan Ying and China Opera for these young actors to receive training during this winter vacation.

The meeting lasted for nearly an hour. After it ended, Haiyan was the first to leave the conference room, but was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The office of Wencheng Film and Television was crowded with people. Haiyan took a closer look and saw that they were all colleagues from several nearby offices. There were also some faces that looked familiar. They were probably the family members of the employees of the Chinese Literature Society. The family building was just next door. upstairs.

The young actors following Haiyan were also startled by the scene in front of them, but they returned to normal immediately.

This is not the first time they have faced this kind of scene after the TV series "Flower Season and Rainy Season" was broadcast.

Huang Xiaoming, who plays Zhang Chao, was once blocked in the toilet twice by female classmates in school. In the end, it was the dean and the class teacher who rescued him.

There is also Jiang Qinqin, who has acted in the two TV series "A Romantic Affair" and "Flower Season". Although she has just entered her sophomore year this year, she is already a popular female TV star in the country. She attracts people wherever she goes in school. It attracted countless eyeballs and caused a sensation several times when going out for shopping.

On November 11, she went shopping in Wangfujing with her classmates, and was blocked in the mall by spectators who recognized her. In the end, it was with the help of the police that she escaped from the crowd of enthusiastic spectators.

As soon as they saw the actors leaving the conference room, people in the office were as restless as boiling water.

"Go in first, go in first!"

As an agent, Chang Jihong is very sensitive. When he saw the crowded crowd in the office, he immediately drove his artists back to the conference room like a hen beating its chicks.

Haiyan called someone over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Mr. Hai, someone outside saw the actors coming in, and they all ran over. They are all brothers, and it's hard for us to chase them away."

After understanding the situation, Haiyan whispered a few words to Chang Jihong. The people who came were all from fraternal units. It was indeed difficult to get rid of them. It was better to spread them out than to block them.

The two discussed it and asked someone to maintain order first, and then ask someone to get the camera, take a photo of the actors with the enthusiastic audience, and then sign autographs.

After doing this for more than half an hour, the order of the crowd in the office was good, but the number of people did not decrease at all, but became more and more.

Haiyan and Chang Ji Hongguang thought about sending that group of people away, but they forgot about the powerful communication ability of the Chinese Literature Society. In just a short time, even the door was crowded with people.

At this time, outside the company, a black Poussin parked downstairs. Ge You got out of the car first, followed by Liu Bei, Tong Zhonggui and Mo Yan.

A few people just went to Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang's retreat today to chat with them about the new movie script. Liu Bei said that he would come to Wenhua Film and Television to visit, so Ge ​​You drove a few people here.

"Hey, what's going on? Welfare?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Several people entered Wenhua's office while chatting. The office was empty. Tong Zhonggui finally found Sister Xu who was "left behind" in the finance room.

"Sister Xu, what's going on? Where have everyone gone?"

"Didn't you see the queue next door? The actors of "Flower Season and Rainy Season" are here, and they are all going to see the stars!"

So it turned out that, with their doubts cleared, several people came to Yu Dong's office.

In fact, Liu Bei had to come here today mainly because she wanted to meet Yu Dong.

She is the heroine of "Party A and Party B". Now that the movie is a success, Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang are studying the script of the second movie. Of course she wants to continue their cooperation.

But if you want to get this heroine, you not only need the support of Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang, but the opinions of the producer are also top priority.

Mandarin Film and Television wants to create the concept of Lunar New Year files and Lunar New Year films. With the success of "Party A and Party B", this is a good start. As the head of the producer, Yu Dong actually wants to continue the previous cooperation. The audience is For those who have a habit of watching movies, the creation of the original cast will play a considerable role in attracting audiences to the cinema.

After chatting in the office for a short time, Liu Bei got the promise she wanted. She was in a good mood, called Ge You and prepared to leave Wenhua.

When I walked out, I saw that the entrance of Wencheng Film and Television was still crowded with enthusiastic spectators, and the scene was noisy and lively.

Liu Bei looked at the scene, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, and said to Ge You: "Yuzi, tell me, if I shout: Ge You is here, do you think these people will come over and surround you?"

Ge You smiled with two rabbit teeth, "Try hard, I'm a comedian. I'd better shout, I'll shout: Zhou Beiyan is here and there, hurry up, don't let her run away!"

Liu Bei rolled her eyes at him, "Virtue!"

"Haha, I'm an idol. How can I compare myself to them? In ten years, you can still be associated with an idol."

She glanced at Ge You and said, "If I leave you alone, even if I look for him for twenty years, I won't be able to get him."

"Aren't you going to say it? I'm a comedian!" Ge You chuckled.

The celebrity meeting in Wencheng Film and Television finally came to an end after half a day. During this time, the news had reached Lin Weimin's ears.

He is very satisfied with the star-making ability of "Flower Season and Rainy Season".

In the afternoon, he received a call from Wan Fang, asking him to come out and meet a friend. Lin Weimin knew that she must be looking for him for something.

After getting off work in the evening, Lin Weimin came to a restaurant. When he saw Wan Fang, he smiled and said, "Sister, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. Why are you doing this?"

"I'm asking you for help this time, and I must act like a human being!"

Wan Fang said with a smile and introduced a soft-faced woman next to her to Lin Weimin, "This is Yang Yang, the director of CCTV."

"I don't need to introduce him. You must know him."

Yang Yang shook hands with Lin Weimin, "Hello, Writer Lin!"

"You're welcome."

A few people sat down to greet each other and chatted for a while. Lin Weimin asked, "What do you want from me today?"

Yang Yang glanced at Wan Fang, and Wan Fang said: "Then I'll be honest. I wrote a script before called "Niu Yuqin's Tree", which was directed by Yang Yang. She has great ideas in directing, "Niu Yuqin's Tree" The reputation is also good. But it is a short drama after all, only two episodes.

Recently she got a book that was very well written and she wants to make it into a TV series. However, she is relatively junior in the TV drama center and has never filmed a feature-length TV series, so the leadership is not at ease with her..."

Lin Weimin understood that he was here to attract investment from him.

The name Yang Yang is no stranger to Lin Weimin.

She is one of the few powerful female directors in the Chinese TV drama industry in later generations. Her famous work "Hand in Hand" made Jiang Wenli and Wu Ruofu popular. She has since filmed "Proof of Memory", "Norman Bethune", "Jiang Ye" and "Meng Hua Lu" Wait for TV series with good reputation.

After Wan Fang's situation was almost introduced, Lin Weimin asked: "Director Yang, I would like to ask, do you plan to change jobs? Or do you want to attract investment from me?"

Yang Yang was stunned for a moment. She was from the CCTV Drama Center. Naturally, she wanted to attract investment from Lin Weimin. Unexpectedly, Lin Weimin gave two options. She didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wan Fang on the side asked for her: "Are you still hiring a director?"

"Of course, without a director, how can we make a TV series?" Lin Weimin replied to Wan Fang, and then said to Yang Yang: "The treatment of directors here is very generous."

He gave another example, "Have you watched "Flower Season and Rainy Season"?"

Wan Fang and Yang Yang nodded.

Lin Weimin said: "That drama sold well. It has now exceeded 40 million yuan. Excluding the cost, our dividend to the creative team is 5%, which is about 1.4 million yuan. The director of that drama is Zhao Baogang. This drama He can get at least 400,000 yuan."

Lin Weimin's tone was a bit bewildering. Before he came, he had never thought that it was Yang Yang that Wan Fang was going to introduce to him.

This is a powerful female director. Now Wencheng Film and Television is facing great development and is in urgent need of talents. If she can be hired by Wencheng, it will be a good choice.

His words made Yang Yang hesitate, and the rhetoric he originally prepared to attract investment was of no use.
