Chapter 4 Signing with Yonghua Film and Television

Perhaps Li Dachuan simply didn't believe that 1.5 million was a small amount. Even Uncle Liang's expression betrayed him. He simply didn't believe that Qiong Yao's drama would have no money.

As an old man in the circle, Uncle Liang said with an unbelievable expression on his face: "Brother Chen, are you kidding me? Qiongyao Drama has no money. Who would believe it?"

That's Qiong Yao. Speaking of writers who have truly pushed themselves to the top of their careers, there are only two people, Jin Yong and Qiong Yao.

Needless to say, the two of them wrote novels, the pinnacle of their respective fields, but Jin Yong was a leader in the journalism world. A Mingbao made Jin Yong a palace-level writer.

Although Qiong Yao did not run a newspaper, he used movies and TV series to push himself to the palace level.

There are definitely writers who are more powerful than the two of them in terms of artistic achievements, but when it comes to making money through writing, they can also infinitely amplify the influence of themselves and their works through other means.

At least there is no money in Qiong Yao's drama. If anyone in the circle goes to a movie studio to hire an extra, they will never believe it.

Chen Zheng glanced at Uncle Liang with confused eyes, as if he felt that his majesty was being challenged, and he said excitedly: "You don't believe it, do you? Haha, I know you don't believe it, but you don't believe it. What's the solution? Do you know that there is another drama that was almost launched together with Huanzhugege? It is one of Qiong Yao's two Paradise series, called There are Tears in the Sky. Do you know who the crew hired? Tuo Zonghua , Zhu Yin, Jiao Enjun, and Jiang Qinqin. Among the four leading actors, only Jiang Qinqin is considered a newcomer. The remaining three leading actors have all thrown the actors in our crew out of the street. In addition to the singer Su Youpeng in our crew , are there any other actors worth showing off?"

Uncle Liang was speechless. The crew of Huanzhugege did not expect that the situation would be so bad.

At this time, even Li Dachuan began to feel downcast, feeling that his days of becoming famous would be postponed.

Only Ye Ming truly understood that Tuo Tsung Hua was quite influential in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He was the squad leader of the First Department Report, and even tourists from Malaysia who went to the treasure island called him squad leader after discovering Tuo Tsung Hua.

Zhu Yin was chosen for the role of Huang Rong in the 1994 version of The Condor. Being able to appear in such an important role as Huang Rong in Jin Yong's drama, it can be seen that she is highly favored by the TV station.

As for Jiao Enjun, he is also an old actor. The most famous one is Zhan Zhao who played the role of Zhan Zhao in The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses. It seems that, now it seems, the crew of "The Mystery of Tears" has completely blown away the crew of "My Princess".

There is only one Su Youpeng supporting scene here, but that is a singer. What kind of drama has Su Youpeng played? That is Xiaoxia Tornado. It is not wrong at all to say that he is a newcomer to film and television dramas.

Speaking of this, Chen Zheng said helplessly: "There is no way. The drama of bitterness is the foundation of Qiong Yao's drama. Here, we have become stepmothers. But if you two boys can pass the audition, you will be in the audience." It’s no problem if you look familiar in front of the camera.”

No matter how much she is a stepmother, no matter how she is a spare tire, it is still a Qiong Yao drama. Qiong Yao's golden signature guarantees that even if this TV series is not a big hit, it will definitely not hit the streets.

It's just that no one expected that it would be Qiong Yao's transformational work, Huanzhugege, that would later ascend to the throne of the drama.

To paraphrase a poem in Huanzhu, the ancients have never been seen before, and the newcomers have never been seen since. It is absolutely unprecedented.

While having dinner in a relatively dull atmosphere, Chen Zheng was about to walk to the door when he suddenly remembered what he said: "By the way, Ye Ming, right? You two, go to Yonghua Film and Television tomorrow, then of course There will be someone to receive you, and there will be an audition the day after tomorrow, so be sure to seize the opportunity and don't let it slip, Xiaoliang knows the address."

Seemingly seeing the frustrated expression on Li Dachuan's face, after sending Chen Zheng away, Uncle Liang said: "Dachuan, don't be discouraged. Old Chen has said that this matter is not about whether you can act, but whether you can act." I can’t act. I’ll go to Yonghua tomorrow to settle the signing matter.”

The next day, Ye Ming followed the address given by Uncle Liang and finally found the film and television company with the Yonghua brand in a dilapidated office building. When he walked in, he saw that the decoration was very luxurious, which was very different from the dilapidated outside. Proportionately, it can be seen that this film and television company is quite powerful.

After explaining the purpose of his visit to the front desk, a man under thirty years old walked out in a nonchalant manner.

Judging from the expression on his face, it seemed that he didn't sleep well last night, and he was still in a daze, as if he was about to hit a wall suddenly.

Ye Ming immediately greeted him, took out a Chinese stick and gave it to him, saying, "Brother Fei, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a while. How have you been lately?"

Hong Fei, the manager of the publicity department of Xinghua Film and Television Company, is in charge of the agent contracts of all actors of Xinghua Film and Television. He arranged Ye Ming's training in Hong Kong City.

Hong Fei heard a familiar voice, so he opened his eyes, looked at Ye Ming and said, "So it's you, Ye Zi, you haven't been doing very well lately, you haven't even gotten into a role, your life must be pretty miserable. , but don’t be afraid. We are still a company now. If something happens, my brother will stand up for you. I used to work in Xinghua Film and Television, and then I came to Yonghua. Now I am the manager of the publicity department of this company, or There has been no change, and you are no longer a new employee. I don’t need to say more about the contract. During the seven-year contract, the company will take 40% of the fees. If there is any problem during the period, the company has the right to unconditionally terminate the contract and you will be compensated. If you Unilateral breach of contract, liquidated damages of one million. This is the same as during the Xinghua Film and Television period. Once you agree, you can sign it."

This certain compensation is symbolic, just like when a large company fires a person, it usually gives two months' salary as severance pay.

When Ye Ming was at Xinghua, his severance package was three thousand yuan. ,

But if you as an artist unilaterally breach the contract, the liquidated damages will be one million, not to mention the overlord clause. If you are not willing to sign, there will be many newcomers outside eagerly waiting for this contract.

At this time, a dissatisfied voice sounded: "Seven years, I said, Lao Hong, you are out of your mind. After seven years, the cucumber guess has become cold. Do you know how much money I have to lose every year in this company? Twenty Wan, am I opening a company for this? I am opening a charity, and the contract is changed to four years. I don’t have time to play. However, when the contract expires, the company has the priority to renew it for four years under the same conditions. "

The speaker was a young man wearing a sky blue suit, with hair full of mousse that was so bright it could be used as a mirror.

This young man's eyebrows are somewhat similar to that of Huang Xinghua, and even his expressions are similar.

There is no doubt that Ye Ming is right that the two are brothers.

The big boss had already spoken, and Hong Fei could only nod in agreement and ask someone to modify the contract.

The young man came over, looked at Ye Ming and said, "You are Ye Ming, the one my eldest brother admires so much. Don't worry, my eldest brother has become an official, so the company has been dissolved. However, if you follow me in the future, I will I will protect you, and when you become famous, I will show my big brother that I am still capable."

Sure enough, Huang Xinghua and Huang Yonghua, two brothers, have similar personalities.

After encouraging Ye Ming a few words, Huang Yonghua drove away in his big car, as if he didn't even pay attention to this film and television company worth three million.

After signing the contract, in fact, there was no choice at all. In fact, Li Dachuan's hands were still shaking when he signed the contract.

Finally, a company is willing to sign him. This was Li Dachuan's biggest dream when he was working as an extra in front of the film studio. Now, the dream has finally come true.

In the entertainment industry, there is a big difference between artists with companies and artists without companies.

Unless you are a superstar-level existence who can stand at the top of the entertainment industry, otherwise, without the support of a company, it is easy to be bullied.

It's different when you have a company. If you are bullied, the company will sincerely invite you. If you have trouble, the company will deal with it for you. The premise is that you want to make money for the company.

Therefore, countless new group actors are trying their best to sign with a company. Signing with a company means that their future acting career is guaranteed.

For example, if Ye Ming doesn't sign a contract with Yonghua Film and Television, will it be his turn?

Even if there was an audition opportunity, it would be impossible for him to get his turn, even if he paid Chen Zheng for money.

This is the cruel entertainment industry. There are only so many opportunities to get ahead every year, but there are so many newcomers and old people waiting to get ahead and become big stars. Only those who can rush to the beach and surpass the newcomers are qualified to be A true entertainer.

Ding dong, the Entertainment Empire system interface started, and a line of numbers was displayed. The contract was successfully signed with Yonghua Company. The system rewards popularity: 50, acting skills: 10. A stand-in puppet [disposable prop].

He still didn't understand what a disposable stand-in puppet was. At this time, Hong Fei put away the contract and said, "It's done. From now on, we will all be a family. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we will feel at home on Xiaoxitian Street near the film studio. Hotel, audition for the cast of My Fair Princess. This time, Ms. Qiong Yao’s daughter-in-law, Ms. He Xiuqiong, is hosting the audition. Whether it’s a dragon or an insect, success or failure depends on it. But if you two dare to give me the keys and be late, I’ll kill you. two."

I'll kill you two, is actually something Hong Fei often said. When Ye Ming heard Hong Fei say such vicious words for the first time, he was frightened to death.

but. Then there will be no feeling at all. If you listen to this threat every day, you will gradually get used to it.

It was the first time that Li Dachuan heard such a threat. Coupled with Hong Fei's fierce look, his eyes widened like the expression of brother Cheng Kui'an when he was angry.

This situation really scared Li Dachuan to death. For a moment, Li Dachuan felt that the entertainment industry was not that easy to mess with. (To be continued)
