China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 298 DreamWorks is just a goldfish

Ye Shunan watched the assistant send pictures and text using her own account, and there was a hint of worry in her tone of voice: "Wouldn't this just break up with DreamWorks?"

"Now that we have made a decision, we will definitely break up in the end?" The middle-aged man on the side didn't take it seriously: "You kids are easily frightened by the DreamWorks brand. It's true that Chen Jingxing is a popular fried chicken, but he is not If you don’t have much power, if you break your relationship, you will break your relationship. Can DreamWorks ban you?”

Ye Shunan was born as a child star and has been immersed in the entertainment industry since she was a child. She is not a newcomer who knows nothing about the film and television industry. She knows that her agent's words are not just a comfort to her. This is indeed the case. Thinking of this She gave up her last concern.

Her agent is a well-known gold agent in the industry, Shen Yankun, who has made countless celebrities, actors and even singers famous. There was a time when she was the ace agent of Beijing Film Studio and was called Kun brother by many agents and celebrities.

Later, he established the Horgos Scout Media Agency and became a unique industry leader. Of course, although he came from Beijing Film Studio, he still belonged to the Beijing Film Studio, and the company's largest shareholder was also Beijing Film Studio.

His influence has not weakened in any way because he left Beijing Film Studio. On the contrary, his career is becoming more and more prosperous. Many artists think of his subordinates "begging for food". That is of course because he has "food" in his hands and he has a lot of control over it. With abundant Jingying Film resources, the faces of his artists appear in various film and television dramas that Jingying Film participates in.

If we divide the so-called "big five" in the industry into levels, the two old studios, China Film Studio and Beijing Film Studio, are the "upper two studios", while the other Tianrun, Jangho, and United Cinemas can only be regarded as the "upper two studios". "Xiasan Factory".

Compared with the transcendent status of National Film, Beijing Film has introduced a large amount of private capital since its restructuring, and has become the leader of the domestic film and television industry by virtue of its public-private advantage. For a long time, Beijing Film has been the leader in the domestic film and television industry, not counting split films. The domestic market share even exceeds that of National Film Group.

With the Beijing Film Studio as the core, a very large circle has been formed, commonly known as the "Beijing Circle". Even with the expansion of the film and television market, the development of three other large private companies, the entry of Internet capital and the rapid rise of DreamWorks, As a result, the relative advantage is constantly shrinking, but so far, the "Beijing Circle" is still the biggest ship in the domestic entertainment industry. It is the star-making factory that everyone wants to get on board, and it still controls a large amount of film and television resources.

This is DreamWorks’ unique way of survival that other film and television companies cannot imitate.

Even if DreamWorks rises to greater heights, decades of accumulation and intricate root systems cannot be achieved quickly. Surrounding Beijing Film Studio are countless brokerage companies, subsidiaries, subsidiary companies and more than a dozen large and small theater chains with intertwined ownership. , this is a behemoth whose tentacles touch every aspect of the entertainment industry, spreading from upstream to downstream.

In his eyes, this DreamWorks project is just a springboard and a ladder, but DreamWorks' practices have challenged his tolerance time and time again.

The producer quickly replied: "We hire professional coaches for our action training, and even more than half of them are hired from Hollywood. The training plan is also based on Hollywood standards. Of course, this may be stricter in China, but... I just I can say that maybe people’s physiques are different.”

This goldfish in DreamWorks will not dig its tentacles into the mud to fight for food with you, and you will not find a chance to teach it a lesson. And it always hangs around in the upper layer of the clearest water. It is the star in the fish tank and the one that the owner cares about and likes.

A pet that can earn him face is always under the attention of his eyes, and you can't jump out of the mud to devour him.

This is where other big studios, including Jingying Film, are jealous of DreamWorks but have no choice but to do anything about it.

Ye Shunan, who is only 16 years old, may not have a clear understanding of DreamWorks' status in the film and television industry, but as a child star who has been in the industry for a long time, she has a good understanding of the entertainment industry, which allows her to make basic judgments.

That means DreamWorks can't do anything to her.

The producer's face was uncertain, and his answer was somewhat ambiguous: "It doesn't sound like P. It might be a trick, but it might also be true."

Because DreamWorks' survival model is simply "cheating". In theory, sticking to one's duties and only being a content producer has no future for any ambitious film and television company.

Chen Jingxing smartly maintains "traveling lightly" and does not reach out to asset-heavy theater chains, nor does he reach out to the deeper and muddier artist management business. Even if his investment is directed towards the lighter Internet track such as Station C.

Maybe if an artist with no resources falls out with DreamWorks, he will no longer be able to receive resources from DreamWorks. That would definitely be frustrating.

In the picture, nine photos from different angles form a nine-square grid. There are obvious bruises and purple spots on the arms, redness and swelling on the shoulders, and obvious purple spots on the legs. It looks shocking.

"Are you kidding?" Chen Jingxing was scrolling through his cell phone in his office seat and looking at the Jiugongge pictures on Weibo, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "It can't be P's, right? Or is it a trick?"

The main reason why DreamWorks has been able to achieve a miraculous rise without suffering many setbacks, apart from Chen Jingxing's own "genius" and the quality of his works, is that DreamWorks has always adhered to its own ecological niche and has always stayed in the fishbowl water.

The clearest upper layer stays at the layer that ordinary people can see.

"Is our movement training so 'crazy'?"

Chen Jingxing knew it. He had also made action movies. Several actors in "The Matrix" also trained for a long time before filming started. The filming process was also very hard, with bumps and bruises and even muscle strains.

This is difficult to avoid, but it is actually very safe. DreamWorks learned from the Hollywood film industry model, not the film production style of Brother Cheng Long.

DreamWorks does not have any factional discrimination against actors. No matter which company or circle you are from, we welcome you. DreamWorks does not have its own actors or stars. It doesn’t matter what your background is or who your cash cow is. As long as you think you are

If you are suitable, we will send you a film appointment.

Because you cannot guarantee that your talents will continue to flow and your works will always be popular with the public. Therefore, as long as any film and television company starts to grow bigger, it must reach out to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and reach out to places where the water is deeper and muddier, in order to have success.

More stable profits are generated.

The Beijing Circle is not a personalized circle, but a collection of many people and many small groups. DreamWorks may have harmed the interests of some people in some aspects, but it has also benefited others in other aspects.

And DreamWorks is that weird gold digger who gets one piece of gold with one shovel, and two pieces of gold with another shovel. The ease and speed of making money makes the people who collect the "tolls" from the gold diggers feel surprised and bitter.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. If you only live as the most dazzling goldfish in the upper layer of the fish tank and do not dig into deep water or mud, then you will naturally not have real power.

However, they only make their fortune by gold mining, so they won’t take your business, and they won’t provide any basic services to gold diggers.

And Shen Yankun, a top agent, decided to break the contract before the filming of "The Walking Dead" was to start. It was not because of any conflict with Chen Jingxing. Of course, maybe as a big boss in the Beijing circle, he was a little jealous of DreamWorks mixed with disdain for the new forces. , but the main reason is that he believes that "The Walking Dead" has delayed his plans for Ye Shunan, and will also hinder Ye Shunan's progress.

Sitting across the table were Tian Xinye and the producer of "The Walking Dead."

…

This is something he cannot tolerate.

Even the resources for "The Walking Dead" were actually obtained by Ana Shen for her.

From this perspective, DreamWorks has produced "cash cows" for many companies.

Coupled with the child star's certain nationality, all this makes Beijing Film Academy very optimistic about her future development. Shen Yankun, a big boss in the Beijing film industry, signed her last year and regarded her as the future leading actress. cultivated.

If DreamWorks is currently the most beautiful and eye-catching goldfish in the fish tank, then Jingying is the Bobbitt Nereis in the mud at the bottom of the fish tank.

Although Chen Jingxing adheres to the standard of "selecting people based on their talent" on the surface, he cannot eliminate connections and resources. Unless it is his own movie and he personally designates it, the list that can be put in front of him will not be unknown. Seniors, and besides, the acting skills of actors who are not from a well-connected family may not be better than that of a resource person. In fact, Chen Jingxing does not value whether he is a person or not.

Because digging for gold depends entirely on luck, but selling water to gold diggers is guaranteed to make a profit, and even more.

In short, Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks are not basing themselves in the film and television industry with the attitude that I want to compete with you, I want to create a sect. DreamWorks is here to join you. I can cultivate stars and actors for you, and contribute to your theater. I am just a simple content producer because I attract viewers through online channels and contribute to the box office.

The quality of the movie itself, the brand image accumulated from one good movie after another, and the audience's expectations are his only bargaining chips, making it impossible for Chinese theaters with a low degree of monopoly concentration to refuse DreamWorks movies, unless you don't want to make money. Moreover, other major studios that have close relations with theater chains, including Beijing Film Academy, are also beneficiaries.

This is why so many film and television companies are engaged in artist management business, investing in theaters, and even building film and television bases, constantly extending the chain upstream and downstream.

Even in the complex distribution business, in the early stage, the company wooed Internet giants and introduced two large companies to take shares. Each movie got a share of the cake. Even if its wings became stronger later, it also actively moved closer to the national film industry, paid sufficient distribution fees, and respected the theater industry. All explicit and implicit rules.

But Ye Shunan is not an artist without background. She was born as a child star and was branded as a "Beijing circle" very early. As she gets older, she does not become disabled and is even more beautiful than when she was a child. Although her acting skills are not considered She is very talented, but her rich acting experience makes her stand out among her peers.

Getting rich overnight through gambling is also luck, but opening a casino is a huge profit.

When Chen Jingxing heard what the producer said, he knew it was probably true: "Good guy, after seeing this, even I would think that our DreamWorks abuses actors!"

It's just that most of the actors in "The Matrix" have the foundation for action scenes and have all the muscle conditions, so even if there are bruises and swelling on the skin, it may not be obvious. Of course, you can't see it unless they take off their clothes. It's all on the flesh.

Generally speaking, no one would use this as an excuse for an apparent "injury".

But Ye Shunan was born as a child star and has been pampered since she was a child. Even if she has filmed costume dramas, they have not involved action scenes, let alone action training. To be honest, even if she has filmed action scenes, the schedule of domestic actors and the tight production schedule of film and television dramas

, and few film studios allow actors to receive training.

If you are suddenly exposed to this kind of professional high-intensity movement training, the reaction of muscles and skin will be greater. This is understandable. People who have no exercise foundation may not be able to go down the stairs the next day after a little exercise.

From the perspective of the industry, these bruises are not serious and will disappear soon, but when put on the Internet, they appear shocking.
