American Fortune Life

Zhao Zicheng did not dare to take the big boss's casual orders seriously. Although he is now a so-called big man in the entertainment industry, in front of Andy Smith, who gave him everything, he is nothing, except to work hard to help the big boss. In addition to making money, the boss has to do other work. . .

From the first day he entered the entertainment industry, Zhao Zicheng knew that there were a lot of broken things, and it was never as glamorous as it appeared. In the past, he was just a small person, a pawn, and a sloppy eater. Now, although his status is different, he has only become a fig leaf for the sake of maintaining Vanity Fair and 'solving problems' for the boss.

Who made the "rules" in the "qian rules"? According to what rules are these "rules" made?

No one can tell, no one can tell. However, one thing is absolutely clear, that is, its formulation and implementation revolve around the word "interest" and the word "money". Its interests tend to be very obvious, and who will act according to its rules , whoever will profit, will benefit.

Zhao Zicheng, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, is well aware of its essence, so he does not reject at all helping the big boss to wipe PG and pull PT, because this is his way of survival. . .

In a circle of savage culture that is close to the primitive group, this kind of thing happens every day, and there are dirty transactions every day. It's just that some people are happy and some are worried, some people are happy and some people will find out with their conscience.

You know, a girl wants to grow into a female star, and there are murderous intentions everywhere on the road, every step of the way. Just like an online game that simulates life, how many unspoken levels have to be passed on the road to success on the road to stardom, can it still be "entertaining" without being stained? Keeping one's innocence, how difficult it is for every individual in the entertainment industry, is beyond the imagination of outsiders for a lifetime.

There are 100,000 actors in the capital city alone. More than 80% of graduates from art colleges have no filming. Of the remaining 20%, more than 90% play small roles. Only 0.01% of the people who can have the aperture above their heads are the real top stars, and the remaining 99.9% are working for others. The young actors who have not met the golden apple can only wait hopelessly with the most beautiful cardamom years. . .

A woman who can make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, which one does not have a backstage background?

In many cases, the candidate for the female number one needs to be determined by the person behind it. Who is behind this? That is the shareholder. Investors, euphemistically called producers.

In this society, the rich are the uncles, so the rich investors are the uncles. If the uncles don’t make money, the screenwriters, directors, and producers will have to do nothing. So as long as you get to know your uncle, you will be better than the average celebrity. If, if you can make your uncle fluttering and feeling satisfied, your uncle will definitely make you stand out soon. . .

In a sentence summed up by Zhao Zicheng himself,

This is the rule in the circle, only if you have been an animal can you have the opportunity to treat others as an animal!

"What happened to Chen Zhihua?"

Back in the living room, Andy sat on the sofa and looked at Zhao Zicheng indifferently and asked.

"No problem." Zhao Zicheng said with a smile on his face: "Since the American media has affirmed and praised Huang Bo's performance in "The Hangover", many actors in the Celestial Dynasty have become lively. Entering Hollywood is full of expectations and ambitions, and Chen Zhihua may have hesitated at the beginning, but now that she has such a golden opportunity, as long as she has a little ambition, she will never give up no matter what!"

"Oh, is that so?" Andy raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Yes, a lot of people want to do a second international chapter."

Speaking of the international chapter, Andy couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Just like the original trajectory, the international chapter finally broke up with VIVI, and the dream broke the rich family road. It is precisely because of this that the international chapter, who had no resources in Hollywood, made a smart choice to bring it with him. Outsiders can't understand, the very intimidating international halo has returned to the Celestial Dynasty, madly chasing the domestic market that has been lost because of the waves in the United States for so many years.

This era is like this. The changes are very fast. Those who can gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry not only need a lot of external help, but also those who are always working hard. Those who can remind everyone will always be those who rely on hard work to eat.

In this circle, appearance and figure should always be second to acting.

"It's a good thing to have ambitions. It's a huge benefit for us to develop the Chinese market. Huang Bo is just the beginning. In the future, the Chinese film market will get bigger and bigger. According to Hollywood's consistent style, it will naturally bow to the market, just like the original. Just like to please the second largest voter, adding elements and faces of the Celestial Dynasty, if we can control all the American brokerage contracts of these well-known Celestial stars in our hands, it will be a good resource, isn't it?"

Andy looked at Zhao Zicheng with a light smile and said, Zhao Zicheng was a little clear, and his eyes lit up immediately and said: "This is not difficult, let alone a small supporting role, even if you show your face for a few seconds, I think there will be a lot. I have the confidence to complete this plan of your boss.”

"Hehe, that's why I like to be a businessman. The power of capital is not only powerful but also has no borders!" Andy couldn't help laughing happily.

What is the nature of capital?

According to Andy's own experience, capital is essentially a kind of power, and the power to mobilize social production resources is the most important medium for forming today's social production relations.

So, capital represents power and mastery. And no matter who holds the capital, they will inevitably find a way to make it stronger.

When a person understands the nature of capital, the laws of capital, the power of capital, and the control of capital, then there is often more opportunity to master more capital, thereby realizing self-worth. As for whether to not forget the original intention after possessing these powers, and return these public powers that belong to the society to the society, or use them for their own private YU, that is also a matter for the benevolent to see benevolence and the wise to see wisdom.

"Speaking of capital, boss, recently, Jiang Wen, a famous filmmaker in China, is planning to make a movie. After reading the script, I invested 50 million..."

This incident can be regarded as the most arbitrary thing he has done since Zhao Zicheng became the general manager of Universal Pictures Tianchao Branch. To be honest, he is also very uneasy now. He did not wait for the foreign devils in the company to complain, and he decided to explain it to the boss himself. .

"Huh~ WHY?" Of course, Andy had already heard from his subordinates about this matter, but he was not very angry about it. After all, if he remembered correctly, the movie Jiang Wen wanted to make should be the box office. However, Andy is still very curious about Zhao Zicheng's arbitrary performance this time.

Zhao Zicheng was a little nervous at the sharp eyes of the big boss, and finally gritted his teeth and said frankly: "First of all, I am repaying my gratitude. When I was kicked out in the capital, he helped me, otherwise, I may not be whole. to leave the capital..."

Andy raised his eyebrows, his face became a little indifferent, and his eyes were cold, which made Zhao Zicheng blushed, and hurriedly explained: "Boss, don't be angry, listen to me, Jiang Wen is definitely a ghost. , In fact, he didn't have to worry about investing in this movie at all. HK's Yang Shoucheng has promised to invest in him. This movie will cost 110 million yuan. It is his first and perhaps the only one so far. This movie will be shot according to the established business rules of the game. The actors are all big casts, including Uncle Ge, and Brother Fa... I believe that this movie must be no problem, so I directly voted at the wine table at that time. Fifty million!

Boss, please believe me for once. . . "

"Hehe, how can you make me believe you, the 50 million you throw out won't be a loss?" Andy looked at Zhao Zicheng with a sneer, looking at Zhao Zicheng and asked.

"Boss, maybe you don't know Jiang Wen, he is... I believe he won't admit defeat. For commercial blockbusters, he may not be good at this, but he will compete to prove that he can do this. He is not It has to be like this, but he has to be seen this time. He is like a general who hits a target. He missed the target last time, and this time he has to hit the heart.

I was so happy this time, and he was also worried that he would fool me because of his affairs, so he said that if the filming went wrong this time, he would be willing to help our company make two films for free. Boss, he is really worth the price! "What Zhao Zicheng is most worried about at the moment is that his boss won't listen to him, worried that he doesn't understand and recognize Jiang Wen's status in the entertainment circle of the Celestial Dynasty.

"You are the general manager of the Tianchao branch. How to operate the company and make the company profitable is your responsibility. I believe that you will not make jokes about your career. This time, you skip the company assessment seminar and invest directly. As a special case, but not the next, even if the movie ended up making money!

The system is the system! "Andy said coldly, although he also understands that investing in movies sometimes means taking risks and writing boldly, but in the current movie investment of the Celestial Dynasty, 50 million is really a lot. You know, Zhao Zicheng doesn't have it. Front and back, knowing what the future will be like, he dares to drop 50 million. I have to say that his courage is not small, but Andy will not condone his courage. This time he met a blind cat. Dead rat, the next time may not be possible!

Of course, you can't tie down the hands and feet of your subordinates. It is easy to find people who respond to voices, but they are not easy to find. After all, Zhao Zicheng is responsible for expanding the business of Universal Pictures in China. It takes some courage. If he really asks for instructions on everything, Andy will fire him without hesitation!
