Superstars start as villains

Chapter 191 Coal boss's role in promoting film and television dramas.

"Ah? You're not an actor anymore?" Yuan Shanshan's eyes almost popped out when she heard Zhou Lan accidentally talking about her future career plans. She was surprised and envious at the same time. Look at him, he can do whatever he wants Well, is it easy to be a producer?What's more, Zhou Lan still doesn't understand anything, but what people say is categorical, why?People have a backstage.

"Oh, sure enough, my elder brother never disappoints me."

That night, Yuan Shanshan suffered from insomnia, and the changes in the past two days were more complicated than her twenty-odd years of life.

A few days later, Zhou Xing and his party returned to the capital, Yuan Shanshan lived in Sister Chun's house, and Zhou Lan was naturally taken back by Zhou Xing.

"It's hot, air-conditioning, air-conditioning."

Zhou Lan started to look for the remote control as soon as she entered the door. September in the capital was the time when the autumn tiger was raging, and Zhou Xing was terribly hot.

After lunch, Zhou Lan showed Zhou Xing her graduation photo with great interest. Not to mention, the girls in their group had outstanding looks, figures, and temperament, much better than Zhou Xing's class. This means that the admissions standards of the film academy have changed. It is no longer that the young and the young are ugly, and a hundred flowers bloom, but the main promotion of the female role.

In other words, the entertainment industry in the future will usher in a large wave of handsome men and beautiful women, and the competition will become increasingly fierce.

"By the way, where's that boyish best friend of yours from before? Does she still live in your house?" Zhou Xing suddenly remembered the girl with whom he had met last time.

Zhou Lan pursed her lips: "You mean Jiao Junyan? She's gone to make a movie, alas, but Yanyan is indeed the most skilled in our class."

Zhou Xing secretly laughed in his heart, it's rare that this girl is still a little self-aware.

In the afternoon, Zhou Xing took Zhou Lan to go shopping again, and bought some more stable clothes for her by the way.

"Being a producer is not the same as being an actor. You have to stay calm. Tomorrow I will ask Lao Gao to arrange someone to take you. But you have to be mentally prepared. Everything starts from scratch. If you scold me, you can beat me." It's fine if you can't fight back, Zhou Xing can't bear it, this is his own sister, it seems that he needs to explain to Lao Gao.

Zhou Lan nodded seriously, thinking of the imposing producer on the set, she couldn't wait.

After a night of silence, Zhou Xing brought Zhou Lan to the company.

This is also Zhou Lan's first visit to "Zhixing Film and Television". She has only heard of this name before, and it was from other people's mouths or some media reports.

What she didn't expect was that this company actually looked very formal. It was completely different from the so-called film and television companies that Sister Chun brought her to interview. Moreover, the people here were also in a hurry. The heels seem to be on the ground, and everyone is very busy, unlike those companies, where many people just sit there drinking tea and chatting dirty jokes like uncles.

Zhou Xing saw the girl's dazed look, and introduced: "The first floor here is mainly responsible for some peripheral business, from scripts, actors, production... all aspects of information are screened, collected, and organized by them."

"The second floor is the project department, which is also the core department of the company. All projects that pass the screening on the first floor will be sent to the second floor for a comprehensive evaluation. The person in charge of project evaluation is the producer. Generally speaking, which producer Projects passed by people will eventually be handed over to him for follow-up. As for the treatment of producers, the company will not only be responsible for the basic salary and five social insurances and one housing fund. Each project will eventually make a profit, and the producer will get 3% —10% dividends, as for how much dividends you get in the end, it mainly depends on the review team’s rating of the producer’s performance in the project.”

This is also the key to "Zhixing Film and Television" being able to retain talents. At present, the dividends of most producers of companies in the circle are within 5%, so most producers will do some tricks on the project, and some old-fashioned It is difficult to find out that the accounts are made like a mirror.

The system of "Zhixing Film and Television" was proposed by Gao Qunshu. He has been working in this circle for so many years. What kind of methods have he not seen?Therefore, such a system was introduced. Increasing the dividend ratio is undoubtedly to distribute the profits to the producers on the bright side.

Of course, greed is endless. Even if you give him 100% profit, many people can’t fill the gap in his heart, so there is an audit team, which will follow up the producer’s work throughout the process, and They are directly responsible to Gao Qunshu, and they also get the dividends of the project. For example, the producer only gets 3% of the dividends, and the other 7% belongs to the review team.

Therefore, the review team will desperately find the producer's mistakes for its own benefit, and the producer also has the right to make a counterclaim against the rating. This is a system of mutual checks and balances.

Although it seems that "Zhixing Film and Television" gives a lot of dividends at 10%, in fact, it saves a lot of costs.

Although Zhou Lan didn't understand everything, she basically understood the operation mode, and was a little disappointed for no reason. It turns out that the producer is not as majestic as it looks on the outside.

"Hey, tell me, what is the background of this little girl? The boss actually brought her to familiarize herself with the company?"

"It can't be the boss's wife?"

No matter what company it is, gossip is definitely the fastest and most widely spread news, not one of them, especially entertainment companies, soon, the entire "Zhixing Film and Television" spread all over the place, suspected of the arrival of the "Madam Boss".

"Old Gao, I'm busy." Zhou Xing pushed the door open and entered.

Gao Qunshu said unhappily: "Please, knock on the door first next time, sooner or later you will have a heart attack."

"I'm not checking the post, let's see if you have done anything bad in the office." Zhou Xing joked.

After a while of teasing, Zhou Xing told the story of Zhou Lan.

Gao Qunshu glared at Zhou Xing angrily. This was obviously a problem for himself, but who made Zhou Xing the boss?

"Xiao Wang, come here." Gao Qunshu made an internal call.

After a while, an unkempt man with stubble on his face knocked on the door and came in.

Gao Qunshu cleared his throat, and said kindly to Zhou Lan: "This is Wang Xiao, from now on you can follow him, if you don't understand anything, just ask."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Xiao exploded: "No, Lao Gao, didn't we agree that I won't bring interns?"

"I didn't ask you to bring interns either. Zhou Lan is a regular employee." Gao Qunshu glared at him, and even glanced at Zhou Xing, implying that it was already obvious.

Wang Xiao was a little dumbfounded, thinking: Is this little girl the boss's Xiaomi?
Zhou Xing patted Zhou Lan on the shoulder: "Go."

Zhou Lan was also dumbfounded, what's going on?She's on the job right now?

"This kid looks stupid, there will be no problem, right?" Zhou Xing was a little worried.

Gao Qunshu rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, this is a straight steel man, he will definitely not have any wrong thoughts about your sister, if he is a slippery one, can I hand over our sister to him?"

"Troubleshooting." Zhou Xing said he was sincerely convinced by Gao Qunshu's arrangement.

"By the way, there is news in the circle recently that Tencent is also starting to build a video platform. I think the copyright competition for TV dramas will become more intense. How many self-produced drama projects do we have now?" Zhou Xing asked.

"At present, one is being filmed, and two have been approved for project approval. Some of the other projects are not yet mature, and our personnel are not enough." Gao Qunshu said seriously.

Zhou Xing thought for a while: "If there is not enough staff, we will expand the recruitment. Don't worry about the funds. [Ip Man]'s share has already been called by Dongfang Film and Television. If it doesn't work, we can still talk to those coal bosses."

The financial crisis in 08, coupled with the government’s integration of the coal mining industry, many coal bosses were kicked out, but they still had a lot of cash in their hands. the inevitable.

At this time, the mainland film and television drama market has just ushered in the spring. Whether it is the movie market is booming, the TV series also ushered in the dawn of spring with the competition for online copyright.

There are not too many coal bosses who bring heavy capital into the film and television drama industry, so that many projects that no one has invested in before have become popular.

Of course, many people in the industry scoff at these coal bosses. After all, cultural people have to talk about character.

However, in Zhou Xing's view, these coal bosses are still very cute, because these guys basically don't interfere with the creative content except for asking to find actresses, or helping them promote Xiaomi. It's good enough for people to do it, and it's better than layman directing experts, right?
"You kid must be wicked." Gao Qunshu was amused. Many coal bosses got rich overnight. How could they play against the gang of veterans in the industry?Many popular dramas are cleaned up, but when the accounts are settled, they don’t make any money. Can you believe that?But their accounts are very clear, and you really can't do anything about them.

As a result, coal bosses have become representatives of people who are stupid and have a lot of money, and many people create sketches and jokes to mock them.

"Okay, you are not afraid of the boss, what am I afraid of." Gao Qunshu shrugged.

Zhou Xing shook his head, "It's meaningless for you to say that. Remember our bet? As long as [Fengsheng] makes money, you will own 10% of the company's shares, and you are also the boss."

Well, I have to admit that with the momentum of "Zhixing Film and Television", 10% of the shares is already a very attractive amount.

In fact, many investors have contacted Gao Qunshu in the past two years, and the highest valuation given is 3 million. Although there is a premium brought about by the overall overheating of the film and television drama industry, it is enough to prove the value of "Zhixing Film and Television" value.

"By the way, since we are going to focus on self-produced dramas in the future, shouldn't we also sign some artists? Why don't the fat and water go to outsiders." Gao Qunshu suggested.

Zhou Xing nodded: "Yes, the artist department will also be set up, and I will invite sister Anli to preside over the overall situation."

In fact, there have been a lot of cooperation between "Zhixing Film and Television" and "Tangren" in recent years. Zhou Xing still recognizes the model of "Tangren". Self-made dramas mainly promote their artists. Increase.

Coming out of Gao Qunshu's office, Zhou Xing knocked on the door of Anli's office again.

"It seems that you had a good talk with Lao Gao." Anli laughed.

Zhou Xing didn't intend to hide it either: "Well, Lao Gao is a real person, I'm going to give him 10% of the shares, and the company will focus on self-produced dramas in the future, and also set up an artist department. I want to invite Anli to sit in charge, and the same 10% Shares, I think Miss Anli can't bear to reject me, right?"

Perhaps it was because the news in it was too huge, Anli's eyes widened, and after digesting it for a while, he gave Zhou Xing a blank look: "It's not that I can't bear to reject you, but I can't bear to refuse 10% of the shares."

alright, you win.

"By the way, besides bringing Lan Lan back this time, I also have her classmate Yuan Shanshan. This girl is a good seedling who can be cultivated. In addition, I think her manager is pretty good and has a good eye. Sign your decision." Zhou Xingdao.

Anli nodded: "Then bring it to the company tomorrow, and I will arrange it."

Zhou Xing suddenly thought of Tong Liya again, and thought, since that is the case, why not just sign her under the company's name, wouldn't it be justifiable to visit the class by then?
"Okay, let me tell you why you are so interested in the company's affairs all of a sudden, is that the case for co-authoring?" Anli teased.

Zhou Xing was defeated.

It was not Tong Lia who answered Zhou Xing's call, but her manager Wang Li.

"Is Mr. Zhou very disappointed to hear my voice?" As Tong Lia's manager, it is impossible to hide the relationship between Zhou Xing and Tong Lia from her. Dog food in between, she must be allowed to fight back properly.

Zhou Xing rolled his eyes straight: "Miss Wang, how dare I."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, Yaya is still filming, if you have anything to do, call back at night." Wang Li smiled triumphantly.

"No, today's matter is also your part." Zhou Xing didn't hide anything, so he reviewed the matter discussed with Anli with Wang Li.

Wang Li was dumbfounded. In fact, the circle had no concept of the scale of Zhixing Film and Television, and only companies engaged in production and investment knew about "Zhixing Film and Television". For actors and agents, it was only Just know that the boss of this company is Zhou Xing.

However, after hearing Zhou Xing's words, Wang Li immediately had a new guess about the strength of this company. Of course, it was just a guess.

"Well, to be honest, I'm a little confused right now, can you let me think about it first?" Wang Li was considered a relatively calm person, and she was not dazzled by the scene Zhou Xing had painted.

"Of course." Zhou Xing didn't force himself, after all, signing a contract with a company is not a trivial matter.

At six o'clock, the sky was getting dark, and the crew finally called it a day.

Tong Lia was about to remove her makeup, but found that Wang Li was sitting blankly in the dressing room, not only funny: "What are you doing? She looks like a husband-wife stone, can't she be Sichun?"

Tong Lia couldn't help laughing when she said that.

Wang Li glared at her angrily: "Don't be silly, come on, sit down."

Tong Lia didn't stop laughing, and she was a little puzzled: "What's the matter? You didn't let me talk, did you?"

"You know Zhou Xing, no, how much do you know about Zhixing Film and Television?" Wang Li was not in the mood to joke with her, it was about her future.

It's a pity that women in the period of passionate love often have negative IQs, and Tong Lia doesn't know much more than Wang Li.
