Chapter 278 Job-hopping
Chapter 278 Job-hopping
Due to the high-profile contract termination conflict in July and August this year, Huang Shengyi benefited greatly from the traffic dividend.
She is already a mature artist with a very high reputation. As long as you get her contract, you can start working and making money right away.
The cooperation between the two parties is just a win-win situation, it is not a free help.
Yang Mi and Liu Shishi are not big enough to support a hit TV series for the time being. Shanzeiwang Media lacks mature and well-known artists, and taking the opportunity to pick up Huang Shengyi can just make up for the company's shortcomings.
It’s different from the scandals involving many celebrities.
As for Huang Shengyi, at most she just had a conflict with the company, and it would be easy for her to whitewash herself.
The controversy surrounding her is actually a good thing.
Many artists are as clean as a blank sheet of paper, with no scandals and a very simple life. However, precisely because they lack room for hype, it is difficult for them to become popular.
On the contrary, artists who have a rich love history or who often do stupid things can easily make a lot of money and become more and more popular as they become more discredited.
See Fan Wumian walking down the stairs.
Stephen Chow, who originally wanted to settle the trouble, gave him face.
Just answer in an indifferent manner, saying "OK", "Take it away if you want", "I'm not familiar with her" and so on.
It was also mentioned to Fan Wumian that some of the company's subordinates were causing trouble, and Huang Shengyi's original agent has now resigned.
Judging from the tone, it seems that he doesn't have much affection for her, but he doesn't dislike her either.
This is very Stephen Chow.
If he cared about social etiquette and going along with the circumstances, he wouldn't have so few close friends.
Huang Shengyi became a huge star after filming "Kung Fu". However, when she was filming the TV series "Kung Fu Champion" in April, she only received a salary of 6 yuan.
There are 35 episodes in total in the TV series, which means that on average one episode only earns 1700 yuan, which is not as much as Liu Shishi and others earn.
However, the film and television company paid a salary of more than 76 yuan, which means that the share ratio was actually less than 10%.
Even rabbits bite when they are cornered. Considering her current fame, it is really unacceptable that her income is so low.
Huang Shengyi's attempts to shoot advertisements and endorsements for Men's Health were all rejected by the company. It was like the company was unwilling to give her money, but also unwilling to let her find ways to generate income on her own.
Seeing that his contract was about to expire in six years, and his precious youth was being exploited like a cash cow, Fan Wumian felt that if he were in his place, he would definitely not be able to accept such a thing.
That's all I can say about this.
Many practitioners in Hong Kong's film and television circles cannot keep up with the times. They still think that now, just like 10 or 20 years ago, they can pay actors a fixed salary every month and let them work like slaves all day long.
Ultimately, it’s mainly due to the uneven distribution of benefits.
The brokerage companies that have always controlled the resources have been desperately exploiting their artists, and it is difficult to say whether they are right or wrong when the artists choose to start resisting.
Rather than saying that "Kung Fu" made Huang Shengyi famous, it is better to say that she has better qualities herself, and her temperament and appearance are easy to remember.
In terms of the length of time he appeared on screen, he is actually not as good as "Landlady" and Lam Tsai Chung.
Nothing good to comment.
After hanging up the phone, he put the phone on the tea table.
The golden bud tea leaves in the covered bowl turned yellow after brewing. Fan Wumian said:
"The management of my company is more humane. Apart from a signing fee, all other income of new actors is split 20% to 80%."
"As long as they become famous and their annual income exceeds 60, the ratio can be changed to :, with the artists taking %, and they are not prohibited from taking roles outside."
"Normally, they will have assistants, agents, and drivers. When filming, they also have makeup artists and public relations to help out. The company's various expenses add up to a lot. I've never worked with a famous actor like you before. How much share do you want?"
".Can I still think for myself? Of course the more the better."
He signed a slave clause right after his debut. In comparison, Huang Shengyi felt that it was a great happiness to work under Fan Wumian.
If Stephen Chow also gave her a 30% share and provided her with more resources such as roles and endorsements, she would definitely not choose to leave easily. She would continue to work in the entertainment industry with the title of "Star Girl", with a starting point far ahead of others.
Before, Huang Shengyi had never thought about changing jobs.
The reason was that a few months ago, after she complained at the dinner table, she was accidentally exposed by her colleagues in the circle, and the matter was reported in the newspaper, making it a big deal.
Then the company unilaterally decided to punish her, and that’s when the contract was terminated. After all, she is only 22 years old, still young and energetic, and doesn’t like to swallow her anger. Huang Shengyi continued:
"Some time ago, many agencies wanted to sign me, but because my contract has not yet ended, nothing has been officially confirmed. How about giving me .35%?"
"Okay, then 35%."
"."
Huang Shengyi was speechless for a moment, looking a little confused.
It's almost like buying something at a street stall. The stall owner agrees too readily, which makes people feel that they haven't bargained enough.
Only when the stall owner looks distressed and says "I didn't make any money at all" can the customers feel at ease.
Today she came to ask her junior for help, and Fan Wumian really helped her a lot. The number 35% was proposed by Huang Shengyi herself, and she was embarrassed to change her mind at the last minute, so she could only swallow her anger.
After looking at Huang Shengyi again.
Fan Wumian said:
"Senior, could you please stand up and turn around? I'm currently filming a TV series and I'd like to invite you to play a guest role."
Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyi took off her coat and stood further away to show him her figure.
During this time, I also asked:
"What kind of role is it? Have you decided on the actor? I just came to your company, and it would not be good if I took away someone else's acting opportunity."
Fan Wumian explained:
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it. There's a plot in the script where I meet a beautiful woman and make the heroine jealous. Zhuang Muxi is so pretty, and it wouldn't make sense to find an ordinary actor to play her love rival."
Huang Shengyi replied with a smile:
"Ms. Zhuang is so beautiful. What did Mr. Xing say just now?"
"I had a conflict with the company before, and the leading role of Kung Fu 2 was given to someone else. Actually, I was not the original leading actress of Kung Fu. There was an actress who had been preparing for a long time, but I got the advantage in the end."
"After I found out, I felt uncomfortable, so I was more concerned about that kind of thing."
Fan Wumian chatted and said:
"It seems like the second Kung Fu movie is having a hard time getting off the ground. It's not certain whether it will continue to be filmed."
"I heard that the copyright is in the hands of Columbia Pictures in Hollywood. They want to make a martial arts film suitable for the North American market, but Stephen Chow is not satisfied with the script."
"You should know his character. He would never allow his dominance on the set to be taken away. He would rather not shoot than make do with it."
Huang Shengyi nodded and reminded seriously:
"Filming with him was very effective, but the atmosphere on the set was very oppressive and demanding. Some media outlets have said that you will be working together soon, and we will know when the time comes."
Fan Wumian laughed and said:
"It's OK. As long as you understand his comedy style in advance and do your own thing, Andy Lau's style is completely different from Stephen Chow's, but he can still make a good movie."
Originally, I just wanted to ask my junior fellow student Fan Wumian for help, but I didn't expect that he would change jobs without any reason and transfer the contract to Shanzeiwang Media.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Huang Bo, Zhuang Muxi and others have been frequently in the news recently. Huang Shengyi feels that working under Fan Wumian should be a good idea, as it is much better than being completely banned and hidden for a few years.
There are even bosses who offer to help pay the breach of contract compensation as long as you are in a relationship with them.
In Huang Shengyi's opinion, changing jobs with a contract is already a pretty good situation.
Outside.
Assistant Pu Jiajing was very gossipy and was curious about why Huang Shengyi took the initiative to visit her.
After seeing Huang Shengyi off, she came up to Fan Wumian and asked with sparkling eyes:
"Are you attracted to me, boss? When I was leaving the house just now, I seemed to see Miss Huang putting on her coat with a red face."
".What are you guessing? It's so hot in the room, isn't it normal to take off your coat?"
After Fan Wumian briefly introduced the situation, he asked her to contact the company and help with the contract transfer procedures.
Currently, there are more actresses than actors under Shanzeiwang Media, and resources like advertising endorsements and roles are not enough for the time being.
After the 80th episode of "Wulin Waijia" is completed, they will also assist the leading actors in completing their transformation.
If the water is not evenly distributed, some people may choose to change jobs and terminate the contract.
