Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 1,306: Face depends on money

Haina Company holds a general meeting at the end of the year. First, all shareholders sit in the large conference room and listen to the report. Yang Dongxu makes some decisions on the spot, as well as the general plan for the company's development next year, and then the people below start to get busy.

For some things that are difficult to discuss at the conference, Liu Zongsheng will sit in Yang Dongxu's office and discuss them in private. For example, the two of them are talking now, and Yan Youyou is directing this matter.

If you direct well, you will act, if you sing well, you will act, if you act well, you will sing... The entertainment industry is indeed a circle. Many people stay at one point throughout their lives. And many people always want to stay in this circle.

Finished painting.

It can be said that the domestic film market has been booming in recent years, so many actors have come up with the idea of ​​directing and acting in their own films.

In the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is actually not a rare thing, but currently there are several successful cases of directing and excellent acting. To be honest, there are very few successful cases of acting and directing.

Although there are several successful examples in Hong Kong and Taiwan, in fact, such examples cannot be copied as a reference. For example, director Wang Jing, although he directs his own movies, he also plays a role in them.

But before he became a director, he first worked as a bit player on a film crew for many years, and he also played many roles, so he had this foundation.

Later, when he specialized in directing, he put in a lot of effort, and only then did he have some successful cases of directing and starring in some big-selling movies.

But basically, he is a supporting actor in these movies. The protagonist needs some big names to support him, so basically some of the movies produced are box office hits, and some can recover the cost even with mediocre response, giving people the impression that they are very successful.

.

Nowadays, Heiner and the others who want to act and Yu direct are all absolute big names. First of all, they play supporting roles themselves and focus more on directing.

These people want to act and direct if they want, so they must be both directors and protagonists. Currently, the only successful example is Zhou Xingxing, the only outstanding representative.

But Mr. Xing was indeed an actor before, but when he was an actor, he had already started to participate in a lot of drama management work on the crew, such as discussing scripts with screenwriters and directors, and even held the position of assistant director in many movies, and he worked hard as an assistant director.

The director's job.

What about other stars who want to be directors?

Most of them probably just discussed the script with the screenwriter, and basically they didn't provide much constructive advice to the script. In fact, they just discussed it with the screenwriter based on the script.

There are writers and directors who are stuck. Even if these changes sometimes seem a little weird, at least they are still within the acceptable range of the audience. If the director also becomes one of these starring actors, then he is not really letting himself go.

"It's not good to refuse directly. After all, they are all big stars and pillars, and some of them are shareholders of the company. So it will not look good if you refuse directly.

And many people feel that they can do anything, especially those who have succeeded, and their self-confidence is extremely high. So if you don’t let them bump into the south wall, they will not know the south wall at all.

How hard it is."

"Then this matter..."

"The company's support is not only investment support, but also includes film approval and release. We provide all-round support with one-stop services.

But it is not unconditional support. First of all, in terms of investment. Whether a big name wants to be a director and make a movie, the company only invests 20%. We don’t ask whether they seek investment for the remaining 80% or pay out of their own pockets.

As for film approval, there is also the promotion of the film's release, and the tilting of resources such as theaters. I'll give you a 30% discount on the internal price. These are all included in the cost of the film. It's not that the company invested, these are all thrown to the company's logistics.

Be a nanny.

If the first movie is successful, then when they want to make the second and third movies, if they are willing to let the company continue to invest, they can increase the amount as appropriate. But the script must be controlled well. Don’t leave the second movie alone if the first movie is successful.

Use any messy script to make us increase investment."

"I understand." Liu Zongsheng nodded.

This matter is indeed more difficult than unblocked. After all, everyone has two shoulders to carry one head. Why can he succeed and I can't?

But the fact is that if others can do it, you just can't.

But obviously, these words cannot be said so straightforwardly, nor can things be done so straightforwardly. They need to beat their own heads and bleed to recognize the reality.

Otherwise, if you stop him when you first come up, you are doing it for his own good, but others may not accept your favor. They may even think that you are preventing him from flourishing and leading a better life.

So don’t you think you can do it?

OK!

The company also felt that you could do it, and stood in the trenches with you to support you with various funds and resources. As a result, the movie was a hit, and will you just settle down and make movies in the future?

As for the money lost by the company, those who are ready to act and direct are basically self-confident big names. After a few movies, they will make back the money and not lose money. On the contrary, they will make a lot of profits, and they can make these

Being stable can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

"How are the artists in the special training class?" Yang Dongxu asked casually as he opened the documents in front of him and was about to start working.

"It's very good. There are a few who have basically stabilized their foundation with a few good performances and can take on the leading roles in a big drama. As long as one character is successful, it is basically a stable first-line role." said this.

Liu Zongsheng's face lit up with joy.

Although the artists in the special training class began to burst out with unimaginable energy, every day you can see with the naked eye that the fruits of your harvest are expanding again and again.

But every time the artists in these special training classes can still surprise Liu Zongsheng, so when it comes to the special training class, he is simply overjoyed and feels that the model he created in the first place is really awesome.

"The benefits that should be provided kept up with others, and others trained me. As a result, they paid liquidated damages and became the pillars of other companies." Yang Dongxu reminded.

Although the liquidated damages in the contracts signed with the students in these special training classes were higher than the previous ones, when some of these people were willing to pay the liquidated damages and wanted to leave.

No matter how high the liquidated damages are, it is basically the company's loss. Because if the other party does not leave and stays with the company, the value it can create for the company will definitely exceed the liquidated damages.

"I have already begun to formulate new contracts for several special training class students who have performed very well." Liu Zongsheng nodded and said that he had been paying attention to this matter.

Before the contract signed before has expired, the company will cancel the previous contract, which seemed a bit harsh, and sign a new contract with you with significantly improved benefits and benefits.

Regardless of whether the company is just looking at the dishes, it is all a kind of kindness. If there is still any trouble after this, I am sorry to let you see the friendly side of Haina before, you seem to have misunderstood.

Next, let you see how sharp the knife in the hand of Haina Entertainment, which is the overlord of the Asian entertainment industry and has branches in Hollywood and has achieved great results, is when it bans a certain celebrity artist.

.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening that Yang Dongxu had processed all the documents piled up on his desk, and left the rest to Liu Zongsheng.

It was up to him, the big boss, to make the final decision. He basically gave instructions, and the rest of the company executives just had to hold meetings and discuss it themselves.

In the evening, Yang Dongxu returned to Li Li's residence. Fortunately, Bai Qian was not in Yanjing now. She was traveling to Sanwan to raise her baby quietly. Otherwise, Li Li would be with Bai Qian today and Bai Qian tomorrow, so she couldn't help but feel like a scumbag.

Li Li opened the door and entered the house, still wearing an apron, and hurried out from the kitchen to give her slippers. Then she started to bring tea and water.

"As long as you are busy, be careful of the vegetables getting burnt. I have hands and feet and I don't need to take care of you." Seeing that Li Li wanted to peel a banana for him again, Yang Dongxu waved his hand.

"That's not okay. You are the eldest man and you have to be careful. You don't have to watch the fire all the time when making soup." As she said this, Li Li put the peeled banana into Yang Dongxu's mouth.

It can be seen that she is indeed willing to do these things and enjoys them. It is not an affectation.

"I've thought about opening a store. It's too noisy to open a brand clothing store. It's too noisy to open a pet store." Li Li said.

Yang Dongxu glanced at her speechlessly. The pet shop is noisy, but the cafe is quiet. Putting a piano in the middle is quiet and stylish. And the clothing store option seems not to be in the list of stores you want to open before, right?

However, Yang Dongxu has long understood that women are fickle when it comes to multiple-choice questions, so at this time, he will definitely not turn the point questions into propositions.

"As long as you like it. Since you want to open a brand clothing store, have you decided which clothing brand to represent? If you have thought about it, tell me and I will help you find someone to get it.

Also, think about the agent brand before looking for a store. Some brands have requirements for store size and decoration. Although these can be changed, since it is other people's rules, let's not bully others into being special."

"I like how domineering you are." Li Li hugged his neck and kissed him on the face, "But I'm not going to find a store, but an office building to rent."

"Huh?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't figure out what Li Li was planning to do.

"I open an online store for brand clothing, which means online shopping. I open a store on Diobao. You know Diobao, right?" Li Li said with her eyes shining, as if a child was not only happy but also very happy to get a new toy he likes.

It's excitement.

"You know, I am still a shareholder of the treasure." Yang Dongxu, who was a little slow to react for a while, nodded blankly.

"Really?" The light in Li Li's eyes became brighter.

"I'm not pretending to be the president of the World Bank. Why are you lying to me? But if you really want to open an online store, don't be an agent for big-name clothing. Instead, be an agent for some small brands. Or it's better to set up your own brand than to be an agent.

.”

After adapting to the surprise brought by Li Li's new brain circuit, Yang Dongxu began to give some suggestions for opening an online store.

"Why? I did some research and found that Diabao has a good reputation. If I want to open a brand clothing store there, first of all, the trust of customers is still very high. And there are not many brand clothing stores there, most of them are small.

You can definitely make money from miscellaneous brand clothing." Li Li looked puzzled.

"It's just because you have to make money, so you can't be an agent. Or maybe even if you get an agent, it's not long enough to make money. Now many big international brands just haven't reacted yet.

Therefore, they are still operating according to the previous model of selling agency rights and opening physical stores offline. After they discover the fertile ground for online shopping, do you think they will open a flagship store there?

And you, an agent, compare it with the flagship store. Even if the other party unintentionally tries to suppress you with some price discounts, at that time, in the hearts of those who shop online, will they trust you more as an agent, or as the flagship store of Xinrenjia brand?

Are there more stores?”

"This can be avoided by writing it into the contract in the early stage. You also said that they don't pay attention to online shopping now, so it shouldn't be difficult to negotiate, and then talk about extending the agency period." Li Li said.

"First of all, you may not know things like the agency period if you have dealt with the brand before. If the brand is not stupid, it is impossible for it to sign a long agency period with you.

Five years at most is already a long time, and no one will agree to this if you add more money. As for acquiring the online shopping agency rights in advance, you can run it alone.

This can be negotiated, but don’t underestimate the shamelessness of brands. If you really make a lot of money here, they will definitely think of various ways to open a flagship store online. As long as the profit is enough, it is not easy to file a lawsuit to pay liquidated damages.

It’s nothing unusual.”

"How could they do this?" Li Li pouted and became unhappy for a moment.

He finally came up with a golden idea to make money, but before he could show it off in front of Yang Dongxu to satisfy his vanity, he ended up with a lot of trouble.
