Royal Beast: A Million Evolutions of Magic Pets

Chapter 144 Conspiracy calculation

According to Dong Cai, as long as an artist can endure hardships and have outstanding skills, he can quickly rise with the abundant resources provided by the agency, stand out from a large number of new artists, and become a top star that is truly popular in the entire league and even the world.

Gain fame and money. Become a top celebrity in the entertainment industry and dominate the world.

Dong Cai also briefly gave some examples. For example, when an artist receives a big drama, he has to film the whole process with the crew. The crew has to stay with the crew for several months to provide food, accommodation, etc. During this period, no one promotes and promotes himself. As time goes by,

Once the heat goes down, it will become stale very quickly.

Dong Cai spoke directly, and Wang Chong also asked directly: "Brother Dong is indeed a professional. Just listening to these words has benefited me a lot.

However, I am just an ordinary person. I am not a professional and I am also very old. I am in my early 18s and have been zero for several months. It is not that difficult for me to become famous. The agency is not a charity, so it will make such a loss.

Buy and sell?”

Before Dong Cai could answer, Li Mu added: "Everyone has the opportunity and potential to become a big star, it just depends on whether they can seize it."

"Heung Kong Chow Xingxing, one of the leading figures in the entertainment industry, debuted at the age of 18. Before the age of 25, he worked as an extra, a host, and participated in many TV series, but he was still not famous. He only started to rise to prominence at the age of 26, and at the age of 28

It’s bright red and purple.”

"So, brother Xie, it is possible for you to become the second Zhou Xingxing."

Of course Wang Chong has heard of Zhou Xingxing's name. The original person and many people of his age almost grew up watching his movies. Many of the movies he and his magic pets starred in were almost all hits.

Big sale.

The films he directed later broke box office records many times. He is actually one of the top names in the entertainment industry in the alliance.

Such a person, Wang Chong, is self-aware. How can he be compared with this big boss?

As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. People from the Great Universe Film and Television Entertainment Company gave Wang Chong a thumbs up several times when they met, so their time was definitely not wasted.

Continuing to chat, Dong Cai took out a contract and said: "Brother, your talent is still very good. Our company will devote more resources to rising stars like you, allowing you to have more contacts and filming, and use

Work one after another to continuously enhance your reputation.

Our company is very sincere, as long as you sign the contract now, we will immediately help you contact you for subsequent scenes."

Wang Chong did not take Dong Cai's pen, but simply read the contract. The content in it was indeed to use the resources of the Great Universe Film and Television Entertainment Company to give Wang Chong more filming opportunities and increase his reputation.

And on the surface, the benefits are very good, such as comprehensive image design and publicity, extremely low commissions that only require 15% of the income, and so on. At first glance, there are a lot of benefits, and there is no need to pay anything.

It's all good.

Although Wang Chong is not familiar with the entertainment industry and does not even understand who is a popular star in the league, he has taken a simple elective law course in college and has many years of experience. More importantly, he has listened to Teacher Luo's classes frequently.

With the outlaw Zhang San standing in front, he could easily see the many traps inside.

For example, if you are given a chance to film a movie, the male protagonist and the gadget with only two or three lines are all opportunities. Whichever you give, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Moreover, the commission is very low and only for a small part of it, but all the other larger benefits are taken away by the phrase "the company's full agency and management".

There are a lot of traps, all just to deceive people. Just like those unscrupulous capitalists, they are almost as greedy and vicious as they directly lean on the artists to suck their blood and extract their marrow. Moreover, the cost of breach of contract is also extremely high, calculated directly by hundreds of times.

"You're going to eat steamed buns made of human blood! There's no way I can sign this condition." Wang Chong sneered and threw the deceptive contract back.

Li Mu snorted and said: "Wang Chong, if you continue filming on the crew, you'd better sign your name, otherwise we will easily make it difficult for you to survive in the entire entertainment industry!"

Li Mu played the bad role, and Dong Cai played the red face again: "Hey, how could you treat Wang Chong like this? He is still young, and it is normal for him to have misunderstandings. We will explain to you slowly..."

"Okay, explain it to my demon pet!" Seeing that Dong Cai and the others wanted to deceive themselves as students who were not harmonious with the world, Wang Chong directly summoned the Hateful Resentment Dragon and the Spiked Pig King.

One behind the other, surround them.

"Wang Chong, you, what are you doing!?" Seeing the ferocious and huge black iron professional-level magic pet Hateful Dragon standing in front of him, looking at him with cold eyes, his own magic pet is only level 3

The powerful Dong Cai suddenly panicked:

"Did you really misunderstand something? We don't mean any harm!"

Li Mu insisted on speaking harshly, but the fear in his eyes had already betrayed him: "Wang Chong, don't mess around. If you dare to take action, I will immediately file a complaint with the crew and kick you out of the crew!"

"Then come!" Wang Chong was not threatened by them and directly asked the Hatred and Resentful Dragon to teach them a profound lesson.

The Hatred and Resentment Dragon stretched out two huge claws, one claw at a time, and grabbed the legs of Dong Cai and the two of them. Then it suddenly flew high into the sky at a high speed, and then suddenly fell down again.

The ups and downs were more life-threatening than the most exciting and terrifying roller coaster. It scared the two of them for half of their lives, and even Dong Cai was so scared that he peed.

In the end, Dong Cai and his wife, who were severely punished, almost crawled away. Afterwards, Wang Chong went to inquire about some information, and also heard that the Great Universe Film and Television Entertainment Company had a very bad reputation and was famous for cheating artists.

.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the lawsuit between Da Universe and the famous first-line singer Han Baiqing.

When Han Baiqing first started composing songs, he signed a contract with Great Universe Company, but Great Universe gave Han Baiqing's songs to other artists of the company to sing, and also praised them as "to better stimulate his creative enthusiasm, and also to replace him."

Expand your influence'.

This happened twice in a row. The angry Han Baiqing planned to terminate the contract, but the Great Universe Company asked for a termination fee of 30 million. Of course, Han Baiqing could not agree, and both parties went to court for this.

In the end, it was ordered to pay liquidated damages of 1.8 million yuan.

Later, Han Baiqing, who became a famous first-line singer-songwriter, would fight back against the Great Universe Company whenever he had the opportunity. The industry also laughed at the greed, short-sightedness and stupidity of the Great Universe Company all the time.

Nowadays, Han Baiqing, who is famous all over the country, earns more than 3 million yuan from any advertisement he accepts. However, because of two 100,000 yuan songs and a 1.8 million contract termination fee, the Great Universe Company passed on a popular star and the money printing machine to others.

Now, it is said that Cosmos Company, which has been unable to win management contracts for promising artists, has turned its attention to group performers and artists who play small supporting roles, hoping to squeeze out the profits from these bottom-level practitioners who have insufficient information sources and do not know the truth.

Hard-earned money.

In fact, many big-name celebrities in the entertainment area have hired their husbands, wives, relatives and friends to serve as their managers.

But in fact, for a new artist who aspires to become a big star but has no resources, a good manager or agency is a very important help, which can help avoid many detours and achieve the goal faster.

However, Wang Chong didn't have the ideal to become a big star, nor did he have any plans to work in the entertainment industry, so when he lectured Dong Cai and the two, he didn't care at all and didn't bother to care about the consequences.

The most important thing is that it was not him who begged to come to the filming, but the crew who begged him to come and annoyed him. He just slapped his ass and left, filming whoever wanted to be filmed, not bothering to wait for him.

Anyway, even if there is no crew, he can still enter the "Skeleton Realm of Death" training base. With Goldfinger here, he doesn't have to be like other pet masters who cry and beg to enter the training base to cultivate their familiars.

His actions of teaching a lesson to the two directors and Cai of the Great Universe Company were regarded as justice for heaven and were highly praised by many people. However, at the same time, they also angered Pan Muyou, one of the shareholders of the Great Universe Company and another assistant director of the crew.

Pan Muyou knew that Tao Donglin had a good impression of Wang Chong and could not openly oppose or mess with Wang Chong, so he planned to think of some way to find an opportunity to plot against Wang Chong.

What a coincidence, this opportunity came the next day.

...

"Crack! Boom!"

Debris was dumped, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling.

"ah!!!"

After the screams, Wang Chong, who was preparing for the last day of filming, heard chaotic shouts from next door:

"Quick, look at how people are doing!"

"Call the doctor right away! See both the man and the demon pet!"

"Don't get stuck here in a mess, get out of the way! Come and get a few people to carry the injured out, quickly!"

Wang Chong followed him out and saw that several men had made a simple stretcher and were hurriedly carrying a man whose leg was obviously broken, as well as the second-level magic pet next to him who was knocked to death.

According to eyewitnesses, it turned out that a martial artist hired by the crew and his magic pet lost their hand and broke their leg while filming a scene where they fell more than ten meters high.

"Oh, martial arts is so easy to get along with!" Lao Ge, a senior extra in the crew who specializes in elderly supporting roles and has been working for more than ten years, sighed.

Several young people who, like Wang Chong, had come into contact with the entertainment industry for the first time, suddenly became interested. One of them quickly handed Lao Ge a pipe: "Martial arts? Just like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, who are making huffing and haha ​​movements.

Those martial arts stars in the movie?"

"That is one of the highest realms of martial arts!" Lao Ge shook his head: "But in general, he can be regarded as a member of the martial arts."

"Forget it, let me start from the beginning for you newbies." Lao Ge is also a gossip, and immediately talked about the rise and fall of martial arts that he knew: "From the development of martial arts and kung fu movies in Hong Kong, the martial arts masters who participated in the filming of the movies

Known as the 'Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master'"

"Later, this title gradually became 'martial arts actor' or 'martial arts actor'. People who eat this bowl of rice often appear as stand-ins for celebrities. Sometimes they even dress up as women, hang in mid-air, fly over walls, and act like ordinary people.

Movements that are difficult to perform;

Sometimes he turns into thug A or robber B, jumping from a high place, or flying out after being hit hard, landing, and smashing tables and chairs."

"Haven't you seen some of the shots they took before? Including when the skeleton army attacked the city, they were the ones who were simulated to be caught by the skeleton dragon and thrown down to death."

The extra performer who offered the cigarette curled his lips in disappointment and said, "Just do some somersaults on the ground? Come on, I can do it too!"

"Ha!" Lao Ge sneered: "Did you see the one that was carried out just now? If you put it on, the white cloth can be covered directly!"

"It's not that simple to have a good meal in martial arts! Falling and beating are commonplace. Injuries, incontinence, muscle atrophy, and even death are all risks and costs that this type of work must bear.

I still remember that a famous martial arts instructor in the industry once said with emotion, 'For actors in front of the screen, their kung fu is not produced by performances, but by beating!'"

The scolded young extra was unconvinced: "Today's shooting technology is no longer what it used to be. As long as it looks good, just use special effects. Why do they need to beat and beat them!"

"I don't know! Your idea is to make a children's cartoon." Lao Ge responded unceremoniously: "Can special effects replace everything? Filming technology is improving, so has Wu Xing's filming concept stagnated?"

"Although we have now entered the era of special effects, the stunts that a competent martial artist needs to know, such as car chases, flying pet battles, high-energy pet battles, fire-breathing and freezing, falling from high altitudes, and ground deformation and collapse, are all high-risk.

A difficult scene that won’t go down?”

"It's not that easy to learn and master these scenes while making the movie look good and not getting hurt. I would like to comment on whether you can withstand the protective masks of level 2 and level 3 magic pets.

The harm caused by these dangerous scenes?

Even if they can master these skills well, martial arts practitioners still have to face various dangers. No matter how careful they are, accidental casualties still happen from time to time. Breaking off hands and feet after falling is not bad, but being disabled

, there are even quite a few accidental deaths.”

Although the ordinary extras sounded intimidating, one of the stronger extras had other ideas: "Lao Ge, martial arts must be very profitable, right? Do you think I can do it? I am from a rural area.

Those who come out of it can endure any hardship!"

"I advise you not to become a martial artist." Lao Ge advised sincerely:

"In the past, when kung fu movies were so popular, you could make a fortune and have a bright future by becoming a martial artist. If you worked hard, if you did well, you would be able to work as an assistant martial artist on other small production crews in three to five years.

If you are better at directing and the like, you might even be able to become a leading actor or director. Cheng Long and Li Lianlian are role models."

"But now, out of a hundred movies you have seen, how many kung fu movies are left? Kung fu movies have long since declined! The audience is not willing to watch it, and the film and television companies are not willing to waste money on filming. Without financial support, there will be no audience.

, it’s difficult for martial arts practitioners to get ahead!”

"The money is not much higher. Our ordinary extras usually cost 500 to 600 per day. The senior ones, who specialize in specific small roles, are around 800 to 900 per day.

The price of martial arts is about 1,200 to 300 yuan for a newbie, and around 2,000 yuan for a more skilled person. If you claim to be from Xiangjiang, you can get an extra 200 yuan."

"It sounds like a lot, but you have to compare it with other people. New makeup artists and costume designers, for example, could only earn seven or eight hundred a day more than ten years ago, but now it has risen to one thousand, forty-five, while newcomers in martial arts only earn more than nine hundred a day."

The salary has been raised to 1,233 yuan, which is not as high as other jobs and makes more money.”

"The most important thing is that makeup artists and costumers can work almost every day and make money every day. But what about martial arts? Four or five days a month is not bad! Just look at this TV series we filmed.

.

Mainly based on literary and drama plots, there are very few fighting scenes, and the quality requirements for the martial arts scenes are not high, as long as they are passable. I only shot six or seven days of martial arts scenes this month. With that little money, I can even buy a variety of martial arts scenes for myself and my magic pet.

Even the medicine for wounds is not enough."
