Millennium director

A few days later, Wu Yuan, who was busy with the post-production work of "The Great Sage", also rarely left the post-production center of Light and Shadow Times and came to the headquarters of Light and Shadow Express upstairs in the company building.

After more than ten years of development, this building originally only rented three floors in the CBD. The entire building now belongs to Wu Yuan's "Light and Shadow Group". The five floors below are the office area of ​​the Light and Shadow Era, including the brokerage department. The three floors in the middle are the headquarters of Light and Shadow Times Cinemas, and the five floors above are the headquarters of Light and Shadow Express.

Although it is only a few floors away, Wu Yuan does not come to Guangying Kuaibo on weekdays. After all, he is more of a director than an operator or capitalist.

But this time Wu Yuan had a reason to come to Guangying Express.

As mentioned before, under the pressure of Yusanjia, the domestic platform of Guangying Qvod is now also developing towards Yusanjia's model and building its own industrial closed loop.

This time Chen Dewei approached Wu Yuan because he needed him to sign a very important agreement, a cooperation agreement with several emerging domestic brokerage companies.

Times have changed.

In the past, actors had a lot of freedom and a lot of room to choose films. They basically sat and waited for various scripts to be delivered to them, and then screened for suitable contracts.

But now it is necessary to determine the partner first, and then within the framework of the partner, you have to shoot whatever script the partner gives you.

For example, if Guangying Qvod has a self-made drama to be produced, and it is a top-level S+ production, then it will first select suitable actors from actors who have long-term cooperation agreements with the platform, and then let them star.

The actor wants to say no?

No, as long as you have a cooperation agreement with the platform, and the contract stipulates that you need to shoot five TV series on the platform, then you have no room to refuse.

Of course, basically the platform will not deliberately let you shoot bad movies. After all, the platform also produces TV series to make money. Since it has a cooperation agreement with you, it means that your popularity and traffic are very high, and you can bring benefits to the platform. In terms of income, the platform is afraid that you will go to the "opposite" to film, so it will sign an agreement with you to tie you up. Naturally, it is impossible to give you a bad movie script for nothing, and it will give you the most highly praised S+ production.

This is also the reason why these actors are willing to sign an agreement with the platform. Only after signing the agreement are they considered one of their own, then the platform will make great efforts to support you and provide you with good script resources and follow-up promotion.

This operation was first started by the Yusanjia. Each of the Yusanjia has its own basic artist lineup. These artists have at least 3-5 TV series cooperation agreements with the platform. At least until the contract is fulfilled, he is If you are an artist on the platform, you will not go to the other platform to shoot a big S+ production.

Only when there is a cooperation agreement, the platform will have closer cooperation with the agency behind the actor, including but not limited to helping to promote its artists, bundling actor promotions and the like.

Today, Guangying Kuaibo will sign a cooperation agreement with two brokerage companies. This cooperation agreement will determine the allocation of resources for Guangying Kuaibo's self-produced dramas in the next five years.

At the right time to go to work in the afternoon, Wu Yuan came to the conference room of the Light and Shadow Qvod headquarters on the top floor.

At this time, representatives of the two companies were already sitting in the conference room, discussing the details of cooperation with Chen Dewei.

When Wu Yuan opened the door and walked in, representatives from both parties stood up to greet him. Chen Dewei also took the initiative to introduce: "Director Wu, these two parties are the persons in charge of Chuan Entertainment and Yue Kai Film and Television."

"They are here to sign a cooperation agreement today."

"In the next five years, the two companies will cooperate with us on 15 online dramas, at least 6 of which will be S+ level productions."

"We also had to use their main cast to play the lead roles."

"Come on, let me introduce you..."

Chen Dewei took Wu Yuan's hand and introduced him.

Chuan Entertainment Co., Ltd., formerly known as Tianma Film and Television Culture Holdings Co., Ltd., just changed its name in April this year, and acquired Horgos Houhai Culture Media Co., Ltd. in May.

Horgos is a film and television planning and editing team that focuses on content production. They produced the big movies "Extreme Challenge" and "Running Brothers", and they also have the film IP of "Tomb Raiders". , they also have cooperative programs with Blue Whale Channel.

As for Tianma Film and Television, it is amazing. It is involved in TV series, movies, and variety shows, and they are all doing quite well. The lineup of its artists should not be underestimated.

The most important thing is that Yang Chaoyue, who just became a phenomenal idol through the "101" program this year, signed a contract with this company. Zhao Silu, who will have mixed reputations in the future but is very popular among the post-95s, is also a contracted artist under their banner.

These two artists alone are worthy of Guangying Kuaibo signing a cooperation agreement with them.

However, Wu Yuan looked at this representative with a strange look. If he remembered correctly, Yang Chaoyue was a big scammer. He seemed to have a bit of metaphysics in him. He was one of the most popular, but he starred in an online drama. Each one was more popular than the other, and even "Seven Occasions of Auspiciousness" broke the lowest playback record on the platform.

So much so that Yu Sanjia simply hid her and completely gave up using her to film online dramas.

If Light and Shadow Express cooperates with Chuan Entertainment, wouldn't it mean that Yang Chaoyue will be used as the heroine, and then they won't be able to make one movie and another one?

But there is Zhao Silu under Chuanzhi Entertainment. Although this round-faced girl has mixed reviews and there are as many people who hate her as those who like her, the web drama era in the next few years will definitely be dominated by her and Bai Lu. Both of them have made a hit and made a lot of money for the platform.

The cooperation with Chuanzhi Entertainment is really a blessing and a curse.

Wu Yuan is also familiar with Yuekai Film and Television, another company.

Because Yuekai Film and Television is actually a company founded by the famous gold medal agent Jia Shikai. His company is very young and was only established in 2015, but it has two pillars, Yang Yang and Song Qian. He is also the agent of Xiao Ming's wife. The IP of "Sito" is also in his hands. It will not be a loss to cooperate with them.

Chen Dewei's vision is still very good.

Wu Yuan, who basically did not get involved in the daily operations of the company, gave him an appreciative look, and then shook hands with the two company representatives: "It is an honor to cooperate with your company. I hope that our cooperation will go smoothly in the next five years."

"If there is no objection to the contract, then let's prepare to sign it."

These two contracts are not small. They should be large contracts involving nearly 5 billion yuan of funds, so Wu Yuan had to sign them in person.

This feeling made Wu Yuan very strange, and it also reminded him of a sentence.

Unconsciously, just like the sentence said, he went from hating capital to understanding capital, and finally became a member of capital.

The signing of these two contracts also means that Wu Yuan's Guangying Kuaibo will become the behind-the-scenes promoter of the film and television industry in the next five years, and will personally bring out a group of online drama traffic stars and top actors. (End of this chapter)
