Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 74 Post Bar in 2005
"Chen Cheng, I'm afraid we can't agree to your condition."

Nortel.

Chen Cheng received dozens of senior executives from brokerage companies.

just.

When Chen Cheng put forward his conditions, all the senior executives of the brokerage companies rejected them.

This made Sun Mengfei extremely confused, and he immediately called Chen Cheng: "What's wrong with you, little brat? I heard that you rejected all the agencies?"

"Master, it's not me who rejected them, it's them who rejected me."

"I heard that you were asking for an exorbitant price."

"I didn't ask for much. I only put forward one condition, which was that I was ready to sign a contract with them in the studio model."

"Studio mode?"

Sun Mengfei was stunned for a moment, but then he understood: "I understand why they don't want to sign you. However, if you do this, I'm afraid there won't be many agencies that will agree."

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry."

Chen Cheng was relatively calm.

Although all the agencies have left, Chen Cheng is more patient.

As for the conditions proposed by Chen Cheng.

We have to start with the domestic brokerage model.

Chen Cheng calls the current domestic brokerage model the butler-type brokerage model.

This housekeeper is equivalent to an agent.

Although it seems that the agent serves the artist, in fact, the agent's status and power are far greater than those of the artist.

For example, the brokerage team headed by Wang Jinhua is a kind of butler model.

The advantage of this model is that the agency can provide artists with a variety of resources.

But the disadvantage is.

When an artist joins an agency, he or she becomes a subordinate of the agency and does not have much freedom.

and so.

Chen Cheng provided the second model to a number of brokerage companies.

Chen Cheng calls it the artist studio model.

This model is that the agency does not sign a contract with the artist, but signs a contract with the company or studio created by the artist.

The advantage is that artists have more freedom and when they sign a contract with an agency, they are no longer their employees or subordinates, but more of a cooperative relationship.

The disadvantage is that the agency believes that it has no control over the artists, and will not provide too many resources, or even refuse to sign a contract with you.

of course.

It’s not like no one has signed on in this model.

But those who sign contracts under this model are all top figures in their respective industries.

Although Chen Cheng has become famous, he is only a newcomer in the industry.

……

"Brother Cheng, I heard that you rejected various agencies?"

After Sun Mengfei, Zhang Wei called Chen Cheng.

This kid is doing pretty well lately.

After playing the role of Li Xiaoyao's childhood friend in the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" last time, he was spotted by other crews and played a role.

"I'm going, why?"

Zhang Wei was very puzzled.

Chen Cheng didn't want to explain too much and said, "No reason. If they don't sign me, I will study for a few more years."

"What are you studying for? You have to become famous as early as possible. We went to Beijing Film Academy just to become famous and to make movies, right?"

"That makes sense. So, there is an agency that wants to sign you."

"Uh……"

Zhang Wei was a little embarrassed and said, "There is an agency that wants to sign a contract with me. I was just about to talk to you. I want to cling to you forever."

"Forget it. I can't even take care of myself for now. If there's an agency that wants to sign you, then just sign it."

Zhang Wei is different from Chen Cheng. It is impossible for Chen Cheng to let Zhang Wei follow him.

"Huayi and Tangren have contacted me."

"Which one do you prefer?"

"I'm a little undecided, Cheng-ge, please help me analyze it."

"In terms of business scope, Huayi has a better future than Tangren. In terms of company philosophy, Tangren is more friendly to artists. You decide for yourself."

"understood."

……

After hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng made some plans for the future.

Although all major brokerage companies have rejected Chen Cheng, he is not in a hurry.

There is no rush for this, for one thing, I haven’t graduated yet.

More importantly, there is still a "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that has not been released yet.

After the release of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it should be able to reach a higher level.

But this is not enough.

After all, people behind the scenes are not as popular and scarce as actors.

To have the same popularity and scarcity as an actor.

In addition to improving your level, there is another way, which is to build yourself into an IP.

Yes.

Just like Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Chen Daoming, Andy Lau... and so on.

It is better to say that they are an IP than to say that they are actors.

For example, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai... Although they are directors, they are also super IPs.

In later generations.

I often watch movies or TV.

The first person to be identified is often not the actor, but the director.

just.

It is not easy to build yourself into an IP.

These big guys have all spent decades of hard work to prove themselves to everyone.

But times are different now.

In the Internet age, the speed of creating IP can be increased several times.

Chen Cheng turned his attention to "Tieba".

Correct.

Before the mobile Internet era emerged, there were not many Internet self-media.

Tieba is one of the earlier ones.

However, since Tieba was founded in 2003, they have not yet realized that it has the function of building personal IP.

At the same time, many celebrities, actors, and artists...didn't pay attention to this small thing called Tieba.

At this time, Tieba is just a place for some netizens to entertain themselves, and it feels a bit like a forum.

The purpose of Baidu launching Tieba is more to retain traffic.

Chen Cheng searched for the two words [Chen Cheng] and entered the Chen Cheng forum.

【Welcome everyone to Chen Cheng Post Bar. 】

Chen Cheng took a look.

Chen Cheng Tieba was created a year ago.

The reason for its creation has nothing to do with Chen Cheng himself, but was due to a person also named Chen Cheng.

However, this friend named Chen Cheng obviously doesn't pay much attention to Tieba. Although the Tieba was created, he only posted one message after its creation.

It is only in recent days that Tieba has become a little more lively.

[This post is a testimony to the fact that Chen Cheng will be very popular in the future. ]

【The youngest deputy martial arts instructor in history, Chen Cheng. 】

【What you don’t know about Chen Cheng. 】

Looking at the posts that appeared recently, Chen Cheng was delighted.

The Internet has such magical power.

Even though Chen Cheng did not promote it, some fans took the initiative to express their concern for him on the forum.

Something stirred in my heart.

Chen Cheng registered an account named [Chen Cheng himself].

The Return of the Condor Heroes was a hit at the time, and the part about Ke Zhen'e in The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan was being broadcast.

Various forums and media outlets commented that "Ke Zhenwu" had never won a fight but never lost a verbal attack.

But in Chen Cheng's eyes, Ke Zhen'e is a true hero.

Chen Cheng immediately posted a post titled "Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, True Heroes":

[I heard from Qiu Chuji that he met the Six Eccentrics of Jiangnan sixteen years ago. At that time, he was only in his early thirties, and Han Xiaoying, the youngest of the six, was still a young girl, innocent and naive. The Six Eccentrics of Jiangnan used to live in the warm mountains and warm waters of Jiangnan. After living in the desert with a sharp north wind for sixteen years, they have become haggard and frosted, with white hair on their temples. Although Han Xiaoying is still charming, she is no longer as beautiful as she was when she was young.

In order to make a bet with Qiu Chuji and fulfill a promise, seven people from Jiangnan followed the path that Duan Tiande took Guo Jing's mother on, and traveled thousands of miles to the desert. They spent six years looking for a mother and son who had nothing to do with them. They stayed in the bitter cold land of Mobei for another ten years, taking care of the orphan and the widow, giving them all they knew, and raising Guo Jing to adulthood. Time flies, youth is hard to find, and there are only a few sixteen years in a person's life. The fifth brother Zhang Asheng even died in a foreign land because of this. The seven heroes kept their promises, and they traveled thousands of miles. Their righteousness was as high as the sky, and they were admired by people all over the country. The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are really heroes...】
