Entertainment: The Road to an Actor Starting from a Villain

Do all these film companies think so now?
As long as you participate in the investment, is this the work of your own company?
What's the difference between that and bragging.

But if you think about it, it seems to be the same. The investor will do market research in the early stage to see if this work can be done, and then they will find the producer and start recruiting people.

The copyright, corresponding income, surrounding rights, etc. of this movie belong to the investor, and the most important thing is that the share of the box office is also owned by the investor.

In this way, it is normal for the work to belong to the investor.

However, Zhou Chen really didn't know much about this aspect.

He went on to ask:
"What is another theater?"

Zhou Chen didn't ask about the Internet University, although at this time Internet movies had sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

But no matter how prosperous it is, it cannot be compared with theater movies for the time being.

After all, the income and fame gained by theatrical movies far exceed that of the small screen.

People who have been on the big screen rarely choose to go on the small screen again.

Just like Zhou Chen now, he will definitely not act in an online university.

Hearing Zhou Chen's question, Zhou Xuanlan thought for a while before saying:

"It's a low-budget film, it seems to be called "Crazy Stone", and the director is Ning Hao."

"The total investment is only a few million! But the big head is Liu Tianwang, and I only invested 200 million symbolically."

Only invested a few million?

Zhou Chen lost his mind in an instant. It's not that there are no movies with a small and big picture.

Just like "33 Days of Broken Relationship", the production cost of 890 million was exchanged for a box office of 3.5 million yuan, an absolute dark horse at the box office!
Those who invested in this movie back then made a lot of money.

But that was all a matter of one year, and now so many years have passed, the situation has long since changed.

Then I want to use a few million to win hundreds of millions of box office!
You thought you were a gambling monster!

Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Xuanlan strangely, a little curious.

"Why did you vote for this movie? The opinion from the film and television department?"

Even a movie whose director is not well-known can be voted for casually?

The investment in movies should be considered in detail by a professional team, even so most of the investment is still a loss.

Zhou Xuanlan didn't know anything about the situation, so he dared to invest at will?

Facing Zhou Chen's question, Zhou Xuanlan spread her hands and didn't care at all.

"I was very interested in reading the script at the time, so I invested, it's okay, it's only 200 million!"

"Just support the new director. I think this director Ning Hao still has a lot of ideas. I'm going to sign him into the company!"

There was a strange light in her eyes, and Zhou Xuanlan was very confident in her vision.

After all, she was the one who discovered Zhou Chen!
Haha!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuanlan couldn't help feeling complacent.

Seeing her proud look, Zhou Chen felt a pain in his heart. After acting in so many plays, he didn't even have 200 million, and he used it all to pay off his debts.

But he doesn't care about other people's money, just vote for it.

He pays more attention to the current situation of the company.

"But when it comes to signing contracts, how many people has the company signed?"

Zhou Xuanlan, who was originally complacent, froze in an instant.

How much did you sign up for?

Looking at the twinkling eyes of the other party, Zhou Chen suddenly had a bad premonition.

"I won't be the only one!"

"how is this possible!"

Zhou Xuanlan's shouting voice attracted the attention of the surrounding circle, and she immediately lowered her head.

She said in a low voice:

"I still signed a lot of trainees!"

Jiang Yirui at the side asked curiously:

"Is it singing, dancing, or rap?"

"more or less!"

Zhou Xuanlan said something ambiguous.

Zhou Chen frowned.

Those who can sing and dance rap have basically made their debut, but real trainees are even more junior than this.

"Trainee" is a name for newcomers being trained in the current entertainment circle, and it is also an increasingly common model of artist training in China.

Generally speaking, it is to recruit a group of people with good potential, go through a lot of training, and then make their debut.

It seems that this is like the actor training class of tvb back then.

But the training model of trainees is generally used to train idols rather than actors.

In order to debut, the capital will invest a lot of money in hype, shaping it into a traffic star in a short period of time!

This is a star-making model that entertainment companies are generally operating now.

The reason why Zhou Chen frowned is that, as Zhou Xuanlan said back then, Sega is a film and television company, even if it is a star, it is an actor, not an idol.

Moreover, the trainee model is very cruel. If you can recruit 1000 people, even one can be considered a success.

Most of them become cannon fodder, and in serious cases, they will be hidden by the company, forcing you to terminate the contract, and earn your breach of contract money.

This is eating human blood steamed buns!
Zhou Chen couldn't help but look serious when he looked at Zhou Xuanlan.

"What is the company trying to do?"

He didn't want the company he had just joined to deteriorate so quickly.

Although Zhou Chen didn't have any system bonuses, in the past two months or so, he had been communicating and learning with actor Liu Qingyun, and he had also improved a lot.

Just this look has become extraordinarily sharp.

Even if Zhou Xuanlan is his boss, so what, he has the right to know.

If the company deteriorates, he will try to break the contract and leave the company.

Isn't it compensation?Anyway, Zhou Chen is not short of these breach of contract compensation.

Zhou Xuanlan was under a lot of pressure. It was obvious that Zhou Chen was her subordinate, so why didn't she dare to look him in the eye?
Fortunately, Jiang Yirui managed to match up:
"Okay, Zhou Chen! Can't you be more patient? Communicate well, and stare at someone!"

She stood in front of Zhou Xuanlan and scolded Zhou Chen for his bullying behavior.

Zhou Chen was also speechless. Two months ago, these two people were still on fire.

During the time he was filming, Jiang Yirui and the two went shopping together for two months, and now Zhou Chen has become an outsider.

With Jiang Yirui as cover, Zhou Xuanlan was able to catch her breath.

She organized the language before saying:
"It's not impossible. It's the request of the parent company to let Sega develop in an all-round way! Everyone is doing the trainee model. If you don't do it, you will be one step behind!"

"I want to form a pure film and television company, but what can I do!"

Zhou Xuanlan was also full of grievances, could she not be clear about the pros and cons of being a trainee?

But there was nothing she could do to stop the above decision.

Fortunately, she has made a lot of achievements in the past six months, and her opinion is more considered by the higher authorities.

Trainees are still limited to a very limited range and will not become Sega's main business.

Zhou Xuanlan raised her head, looked at Zhou Chen firmly, and said:
"Don't worry, as long as I'm still in Sega, the company won't go bad!"
