Chapter 75 Setting up a studio?
Chapter 75 Setting up a studio?
Of course, Zhang has also had her share of good luck. Initially, the media reported crazily that she had collaborated with three big directors in a row and had incredible luck.
Zhang was somewhat unhappy and retorted to the media that his selection also showed that he had the ability.
It is understandable. As young people, who can stand being denied by others? They also work very hard.
Then she was ridiculed by the whole network.
In Chinese culture, the entertainment industry is like the workplace, and newcomers to the workplace must be humble.
Especially the newcomers who are lucky.
As a result, the person who stepped on the dog shit suddenly jumped out and said, it is indeed my luck that I can step on dog shit, but isn’t it also lucky that I can step on dog shit?
Is this still available?
No respect for seniors...
Arrogant and conceited...
I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth...
The son of a Zhongshan wolf, he becomes rampant when he succeeds...
All kinds of accusations flooded in instantly, almost drowning her. At that time, Zhang Ziyi's agent was her brother Zhang Zinan, a fool who knew nothing.
Zhang Ziyi has no identity and no background. She has been able to get to where she is today entirely relying on herself and her brother who held her back.
Sometimes Zhang Chen felt that this guy was like an undercover agent deliberately planted by Zhang's opponent next to Zhang Ziyi.
He has been a professional at cheating girls for thirty years.
Back then, a magazine wanted to interview Zhang Ziyi, but he asked for a sky-high price of 40 million RMB. Isn't this pushing publicity away?
During the period of the Four Dans and Two Bing Bing, everyone was competing fiercely. He personally went to Tianya and registered various small accounts to discredit other female stars and only praised Zhang Ziyi, but was eventually exposed.
After Zhang Ziyi was exposed for the "ink-throwing incident" that year, he actually sent a text message to the suspect Zhao Xinyu threatening her: "Don't make trouble. It's easy if you want to die. I'll accompany you."
Look, how crazy?
The entertainment industry loves people like you the most.
Zhao Xinyu directly exposed the text messages to the media, and the media followed up, which directly pushed Zhang Ziyi to the cusp of public opinion.
Even with such an agent, Zhang Ziyi has never failed to gain popularity, which only shows that she is extremely lucky.
Fortunately, she came to her senses later and replaced her own brother, and her career has been getting better and better since then.
"Okay, after all this talk, you should rest enough. Anyway, what I mean is that you don't need to rush to marry into a wealthy family. If you work hard, you can become one too."
Looking at Fan Binbin’s expression, it was clear that she didn’t believe it, so Zhang Chen was too lazy to persuade her anymore.
The two of them were just exchanging ideas about art, not living their lives, so they should just say what they need to say, and whether they listen or not is their business.
"Come on, stand up~"
At the end of the first half, Zhang Chen was ready to make a move.
Those who marry into a wealthy family early will regret it sooner or later.
Even if Li Jiaxin married Xu Jin, she only had 200 million in pocket money every month.
In comparison, if we hold on for a few more years, the pay in the entertainment industry will skyrocket. Wouldn’t it be great to have a daily salary of 208 million?
"Hoo, hoo~"
The battle was quite intense at the beginning of the second half. Both sides tacitly gave up the early attempts and went straight into the decisive battle.
Zhang Chen had found it quite strange when he read novels set in World War II. The Asian battlefield during World War II was a very special place.
Surrender is never considered shameful on the European battlefield. If you can't win, you just raise the white flag. But it is different on the Asian battlefield. Both the enemy and us would usually rather die than surrender.
Therefore, the casualty rate in the Asian battlefield was particularly high.
The same is true for Zhang Chen. Hundreds of millions of his brothers were killed in the battle, but he fought to the death and was determined to overcome this tough challenge.
Fan Binbin's body stiffened and fireworks started going off in his mind.
The winner was finally decided.
"Sister Hua is leaving Huayi~"
After every battle, Fan Binbin likes to chat about something.
Currently, the media are reporting on the internal discord within Huayi, and the Wang brothers and Wang Jinghua have reached the point where they are incompatible.
"Well, she didn't talk to you?"
Zhang Chen knew that Wang Jinghua would definitely leave, and it seemed like it would be early next year, and her next club might be Orange Sky or somewhere else.
"Yes, she said she would respect my choice, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang have also contacted me."
"They want to keep you? What conditions did they offer you?"
It is not easy for the two Wangs to snatch people from Wang Jinghua. Wang Jinghua is a big agent and most of the stars still recognize her.
Once Wang Jinghua left, Huayi would be empty. The Wang brothers didn't want this situation to happen, so they had to keep her. But they were not fools, and if they wanted to keep her, they had to show their sincerity.
"Nothing much, just promised that I would be the first choice for the leading actress in future films."
"Come on, don't believe them. Huayi is famous for not caring about its own people. They have so many artists under their banner, but the female lead of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was given to Zhao Yanzi. The same goes for "A World Without Thieves". The first female lead was given to Liu Nai Cha, and their own people only got the role of a female thief."
"That's not necessarily true. I've inquired about it before. This film is controlled by Feng Xiaogang's new company Taihe Minzhong. Huayi is just an investor, so it's understandable that they can't get the female lead." Fan Binbin obviously still has hope for Huayi. She probably thinks she can become the top actress after Li Binbin leaves.
She had no idea that Mr. Zhou would come later, and she had no idea that her biggest competitor, Li Binbin, hadn't left either.
Zhang Chen knew that it was useless to say more, so he simply kept silent.
Fan Binbin sensed the other party's emotions and asked in confusion: "Why, do you think I shouldn't stay in Huayi?"
Seeing the other party asking, Zhang Chen simply said: "I think you should neither go with Sister Hua nor stay in Huayi. You should start your own business."
"Start your own business? Set up a company?" There was a look of inquiry in Fan Binbin's beautiful eyes.
"It's not a company, it's your own star studio. You can manage your own agency business and be your own boss."
Zhang Chen's move can be considered as borrowing flowers to offer sacrifices to Buddha. Later, the first celebrity studio in China was established after Fan Binbin left Huayi.
After the studio was established, Fan's career began to improve significantly.
Zhang Chen was helping Fan find the right direction in advance and speed up his pace to get into the fast lane.
Isn’t this what time travelers like to do?
Steal someone else's famous work and leave them with no way out, or reveal their path to success in advance and gain their gratitude.
Fan Binbin was silent. Zhang Chen's words opened up a new line of thought for her. She had never thought about this direction before.
It seemed like it was indeed an option, but then I became troubled again.
Opening a studio is like opening an agency, but this agency only serves yourself.
“But I’ve never done this before…”
"What are you afraid of? No one is born with the ability to do it. If you don't know how to do it, just find someone who knows how to help you."
"You?" Fan Binbin asked uncertainly.
"I can't."
Seeing Fan Binbin's misunderstanding, Zhang Chen immediately explained: "I don't understand these things either, otherwise I wouldn't have introduced Zeng Li to Sister Hua. And in the short term, I have never thought about doing agency business. It's easiest to just work hard on filming. But if you decide to set up a studio, I can invest in it."
In later generations, Fan Binbin became a money-making behemoth with an annual income of 300 million yuan. In terms of revenue capacity, his net profit even exceeded that of more than 70% of A-share listed companies.
Seeing that Fan Binbin didn't respond, Zhang Chen continued to persuade him: "What I mean is that you can ask someone who knows the business to help you. Hong Kong and Taiwan have more experience in this area than we in the mainland. You can consider someone over there. As far as I know, there is a person named Mu Xiaoguang who is very capable. You can get to know him."
The Mu Xiaoguang mentioned by Zhang Chen was Fan Binbin's future agent.
In the original time and space, it was around 07, Fan Binbin left Huayi and set up a studio with the funding from Orange Sky, and Mu Xiaoguang was his agent.
It was also under the promotion of this person that Fan Binbin vigorously improved her relationship with the media, showing concern for reporters and sending them small gifts from time to time, and soon she was able to whitewash herself and become Fan Ye.
Fan was willing to spend money to buy publicity, and promotional materials were flying everywhere every day.
Later, Yang Tianzhen joined and Fan Binbin started his journey of creating his own character.
Fan Bingbing, Fan Haomen and the like, all kinds of marketing are emerging in an endless stream, and they are going further and further on the road of hype.
“You really don’t want to sign artists?”
Fan Binbin got the point that was completely different. Setting up a studio was too far-fetched. At this stage, it was more practical to bind himself with Zhang Chen.
Although "The Shallows" was only filmed for a dozen days, Fan Binbin thinks it should be a good movie.
Although she also felt that it was unlikely to break 100 million, it would definitely be no problem to get a box office of tens of millions.
Zhang Chen is a very good director, and she became more determined to get involved.
This is also the reason for such frequent communication in the past two days.
There are many kinds of binding, becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, becoming colleagues in the same company, becoming the queen heroine, or becoming a bed partner...
Of course, the last one has the worst effect, as the other party may take advantage of you at any time and deny your actions.
Zhang Chen understood what she meant and shook his head: "I really don't have any idea of doing agency business. If I did, I would definitely sign you as soon as possible. But I still say that if you open a studio, I will definitely support you."
"How to support?"
"If you become a shareholder, you will be considered if there is a suitable role."
Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Chen to make any specific promises. He was destined to be a man who wandered among flowers. How could he give up the entire forest for a tree?
Fan Binbin was a little disappointed when he heard Zhang Chen's reply, but at least Zhang Chen gave him a consolation prize.
"Okay, it's a deal then. I'll consider setting up a studio when I get back."
It would be nice if Zhang Chen could become a shareholder of her studio. At least there would be a connection. As long as there was a connection, Fan felt that she would be able to win over Zhang Chen sooner or later.
"By the way, there is a new magazine called Men's Health that you can contact. This is the first help I, as a shareholder, can give you."
"Why, this magazine is amazing?"
"It's a magazine for the male market founded by Fashion Media Group. It's positioned as the Playboy of China. So far, it's only published two issues. The cover of the first issue is Zhao Yanzi, and the cover of the second issue is Britney Spears. The content is a bit too explicit, but it can be published publicly, so it's definitely not too explicit. It just happens to be in line with your future path. If you can get the cover, it will be good for your career."

It’s late, I just finished writing it, but I still shamelessly ask for a monthly ticket~
