Chapter 76 Hero

On June 25, the final exam of Beijing Film Academy was completed, and Jiang Changsheng came to Tianya Entertainment Company for the first time. He found Ye Guobin and said, "I have ended my retreat.

Is there a suitable drama appointment in the second half of the year?"

After two years of founding Tianya Entertainment, Ye Guobin is now mainly engaged in managing the company and has let the artist agents go to other agents in the company.

Only Jiang Changsheng's agent contract is still with him.

Ye Guobin made a cup of tea for Jiang Changsheng and said with a smile: "You actually came to the company on your own initiative. You are such a rare guest. I haven't seen you for almost half a year."

Jiang Changsheng took a sip of tea and joked deliberately: "That's because your agent is incompetent, so he left me aside and ignored me."

"Is that so, then I'll arrange some things for you? You never participate in commercial performances. Do you know how expensive your commercial performances are now?"

“How high.”

"From 400,000, just sing a song. If you are willing to attend a dinner, the price will be as high as 1.5 million, and a female boss." Ye Guobin winked at Jiang Changsheng: "The female boss looks okay and has a net worth of over 100 million yuan. Are you considering it?"

Jiang Changsheng laughed: "Brother Bin, I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also fall into depravity."

The environment changes people. When he just opened a company two years ago, Ye Guobin was still a serious person. He spent two years in the circle and now he is having fun.

Because of this, Zheng Shuangling has often sighed in front of Jiang Changsheng.

Ye Guobin has a strong family relationship and strong ability. With Jiang Changsheng's help, Tianya Entertainment is now one of the top entertainment companies in the circle.

Jiang Changsheng did not ask about how many artists the company signed, but he knew that the company signed Li Binbin, which was also what Zheng Shuangling said.

Because when Li Binbin was working with Ye Guobin, he was hit by Ye Guobin's wife.

This is not a big deal. Li Binbin has no intention of becoming a leader for the time being. Ye Guobin's position is very clear. He just plays casually outside, so his wife turns a blind eye and endures it.

The Zheng family and the Ye family have always had contacts. As the person who guided Ye Guobin to open an entertainment company, Zheng Shuangling was inevitably criticized by Ye Guobin's wife.

But there was not much resentment, because after Ye Guobin founded the entertainment company, although he was a little fickle, his income was ten or a hundred times that of his previous teacher.

His wife is also very happy to spend money.

Ye Guobin said: "If you don't come to me today, I will also go to you. I just received a call in the morning and someone asked you to act in the leading actor in a movie, a big production."

When Jiang Changsheng heard about the movie, he was not very interested.

These days, there are relatively few people watching movies. Making movies can improve your personality and value, but Jiang Changsheng doesn't need these, he only cares about popularity.

The cost-effectiveness of filming TV series is higher.

He asked, "What movie?"

"Hero! The movies directed by Zhang Yi are all participating in the industry's big names, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Daoming, Director Zhang invites you to play the male lead, Wuming!"

Ye Guobin was very excited, and he talked endlessly about the benefits of acting in this movie.

Jiang Changsheng was always very calm. Ye Guobin reacted and asked in surprise: "Don't you want to act?"

“Are there any TV series besides movies?”

Ye Guobin was silent for a while and said, "Yes, the company invested in a drama, love that traveled through time and space. The heroine is Li Binbin and the hero is Xu Zheng. If you want to act, the hero will give it to you."

Love that travels through time and space is the first TV series in mainland China that travels through love themes. Jiang Changsheng remembers that it was very popular after being broadcast in his previous life, and Ye Guobin has a good vision.

Jiang Changsheng asked rarely: "The company has invested in several dramas now. Is the funds enough?"

"With enough funds, when the company was established, I first invested 1.5 million yuan, and Tianya's parent company successively paid 2.25 million yuan. We successively invested in the wrong sedan chair and married the right man, Li Wei became an official, and TV series such as fog, rain, and wind. Although the investment share was not large, the returns were very high.

With the income sharing of contracted artists, the company's cash flow is very healthy.

Now the company has invested in three dramas, one Wutongyu, invested 2 million, accounting for 30%. Li Xiaoran played the heroine, and a passionate years, invested 1.5 million, accounting for 13%.

The last one is Love that travels through time and space. This company mainly invests with a total investment of 10 million yuan, and we invest 5.5 million yuan, accounting for 55%.

After investing in these three dramas, the company's account still has 4.3 million yuan left in cash flow.

I also found a relationship and got a loan of 8 million from the bank, but it has not been used for it."

Wutongyu was selected by Jiang Changsheng for Li Xiaoran. This TV series is also a background in the Republic of China. Its ratings in the past life are very good, which can help Li Xiaoran consolidate her popularity.

The cost of filming TV series is not high at present, the cost of an episode is basically between 150,000 and 300,000 yuan, and costume dramas will be a little higher.

Not every producer can be as rich as Yangsi, spending 30 million to film the Swordsman, with a total of 40 episodes, with an average of 750,000 each episode.

Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, "See Director Zhang as soon as possible, and then talk in person. I'm very curious about why he asked me to play the male lead.

From my personal preference, I prefer love that travels through time and space."

The movie Hero is very good, it is the first commercial blockbuster in mainland China. Although the plot of the movie is weak and has caused great controversy in China, the picture, color and artistic conception are indeed top-notch.

Especially the overseas box office reached 139 million meters, and by 2023, it still ranked second in Chinese films, second only to the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The movie was also ranked first in the world's top ten best films in 2004 by Times.

Being able to star in such a movie is a huge improvement for any actor.

But Jiang Changsheng really doesn't care much about these things. What he values ​​is popularity.

Exercising acting skills in school is to improve work efficiency, and to improve the quality of the work to gain popularity better, not for the big screen.

What status, value, awards, and things that everyone in the entertainment industry competes for are not important in Jiang Changsheng's eyes.

Zhang Yi happened to be in Yanjing. That night, Jiang Changsheng met this famous director.

After the greetings and making polite comments, Jiang Changsheng asked straight to the point: "I have never acted in a movie, why did Director Zhang choose me as the male lead?"

Zhang Yi looked bored when he didn't speak, but he was very imposing as soon as he spoke. He said: "I watched your performance at the Beijing Film Academy Celebration last year. It was very amazing! Really, very amazing!"

"Your costume looks handsome and sword dance moves are extremely chic! I thought at that time, I must invite you to act in a movie. Now the opportunity is here!"

Jiang Changsheng showed a polite smile on his face: "Director Zhang, let's just click, your movie is a big production, with a strong cast, and investors and overseas capital. He wants to go international.

Your male protagonist should be Cheng Long or Li Lianjie, not me. Where did I attract your attention?"
