Chapter 409 Company trivia
Yang Ming spent a whole day writing the script in the office, and it was around five o'clock in the afternoon when he finished the script for "My Sassy Girl."
When he stretched, he found Mo Xiaohua standing behind him staring at the computer screen, fascinated by the words inside.
"Hey, Mr. Yang, have you come up with a new script? I heard Mr. Liu said that this is not the movie you want to make, right?" Mo Xiaohua couldn't help but ask questions when he saw Yang Ming finished writing.
.
"Well, the situation has changed. I have to film this script now." Yang Ming stood up and twisted his body, which was sore from sitting for a long time.
Mo Xiaohua nodded when he heard this and said nothing. After a while, after reading the last paragraph of text on the computer screen, he praised: "Mr. Yang, the image of your girlfriend in your script is really creative.
Got it!"
China has been dominated by Confucianism since ancient times, and what it advocates is the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. There are many restrictions on women. If it were not for the great founders who overthrew the Qing Dynasty, vigorously reformed various domestic bad laws and improved the status of women, it is estimated that the status of women today would still be the same as in ancient times.
Same.
But even so, there are still many invisible discriminations against women in modern Chinese society.
With the progress of the times and the development of China's economy, this conflict has become more and more serious. There are countless debates in major media every year about the increasingly personalized dress and behavior of young women.
Some people support women's freedom and openness, while some old scholars and conservatives accuse it of immorality.
This is inevitable.
Mo Xiaohua just came to see Yang Ming to ask some questions, but he accidentally saw the script Yang Ming was writing, and he was fascinated by it. Now after reading it, he couldn't help but think that Yang Ming wanted to make this movie.
Feeling a little worried, he said, "Mr. Yang, there will probably be a lot of controversy over your movie."
"Haha!" Yang Ming smiled indifferently and said calmly: "I know, but the release of personality is unstoppable. We can't keep the windows closed because flies will fly in when we open them, and we can't breathe fresh air.
Air!"
"I believe that history develops forward, not backward!"
While Yang Ming and Mo Xiaohua were chatting about the script, Liu Xinsheng and Sister Zhu walked in together.
"Haha, they are all here!" Liu Xinsheng said with a red smile.
Originally, due to the ban of many first-tier TV stations, the prospects of Oriental DreamWorks suddenly became bleak, and the entertainment industry was unanimously not optimistic about it. But who would have thought that Yang Ming would suddenly create an online TV station and reopen a broadcasting platform.
channel.
The TV series "Next Stop, Happiness" produced by Mo Xiaohua not only was not affected by the ban, but actually had a greater influence.
Especially its influence on the Internet has reached an unparalleled level.
This amazing turning point made everyone in the entertainment industry dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that facing this situation, Oriental DreamWorks could find another way out. It was really incredible to everyone.
And as Liu Xinsheng of Oriental DreamWorks, he was naturally overjoyed and relieved just thinking about it.
Yang Ming smiled and nodded, saying hello to Liu Xinsheng and Sister Zhu. Then he turned to Sister Zhu and said, "How is it? Sister Zhu, your agency department is still busy now, right?"
"Haha!" Mo Xiaohua and Liu Xinsheng both knew what was going on and couldn't help laughing loudly.
In the past, the biggest shortcoming of the two companies, Oriental Huayin and Oriental DreamWorks, since the day they were established was that there were too few signed artists and very few newcomers. This made Sister Zhu, who was the manager of the agency department, see it and was anxious.
heart.
However, there was nothing she could do to change everything.
But now since Yang Ming and Wu Yuanzhi suddenly launched Phoenix TV, everything has changed, especially since the launch of "The Voice of China" in which the four kings and queens served as mentors, Sister Zhu has been even more busy.
Because there are so many good seeds.
Become a star that attracts much attention, enjoy flowers and applause, and be admired and supported by countless people. This is what those newcomers who want to become famous want most.
But the reality is cruel. The road to becoming a singer and star is very narrow, and even for ordinary people, there is no road at all.
However, since Phoenix TV's "The Voice of China" was launched, it has caused a stir throughout China. Especially after the first episode was broadcast, several civilian contestants shined on the stage, attracting four instructors to compete for students.
, this variety entertainment program has attracted the attention of the entire China.
The first person to benefit from the popularity of "The Voice of China" is Sister Zhu's management department, because there are so many good talents.
Although the promotional slogan of this variety show is to only listen to the voice and not look at the appearance, there are still many contestants who have good looks, good voices, and are worthy of training.
There are too many players who came to participate in the selection.
Therefore, when Yang Ming met, he jokingly asked Sister Zhu if she could be busy now.
"Fortunately, Yang Ming made it so that our Dongfang Company has priority in signing the contract, otherwise we would have made wedding dresses for others." Sister Zhu said with emotion.
What Sister Zhu said got a nod of approval from the other two people. Since "The Voice of China" became popular, not only did people focus on the four tutors, but also many brokerage companies, like hungry wolves, focused on the students who performed well in the selection.
.
Fortunately, Yang Ming had the foresight to disregard all students as long as they were under contract. Ordinary students without any entertainment company background were the largest group of students selected for "The Voice of China" this time.
This is also a good opportunity to enrich Dongfang's talent pool.
Of course, Yang Ming would not give up this opportunity, so he formulated this requirement that made other entertainment companies crazy. Not only did they prohibit newcomers from other entertainment companies who were under contract from participating in "The Voice of China", but also only the students who were selected for "The Voice of China"
, it is necessary to sign an agreement giving Oriental Company priority in signing contracts.
Although this agreement is suspected of having overbearing clauses, Yang Ming does not run a charity. He uses his carefully planned variety shows to make artists from other entertainment companies popular. It is purely to make wedding dresses for others.
He's not that stupid.
Besides, as long as you change the way of saying it, the students can still accept it.
"As long as students with outstanding performance will receive an artist contract from Oriental Company, their songs will be tailor-made by the original genius Mr. Yang Ming himself!"
Changing the concept, this makes this agreement with suspected overlord clauses very easy to accept by the vast majority of students.
Moreover, the agreement made by Yang Ming was very fair and aboveboard. It was made clear from the beginning, instead of suddenly raising it with the students in the middle. In that case, if you sign the agreement, we will support it. If you don't sign, we will punish you.
If I delete you, the impact will be even worse.
Now Yang Ming directly laid out the conditions from the beginning. Those who are willing can come to participate, and those who are unwilling can forget it. Therefore, although he has been criticized by many people with ulterior motives, most students have accepted this agreement.
After all, the vast majority of students are ordinary people.
Sister Zhu excitedly introduced to Yang Ming several newcomers with great potential who have been signed by the agency department recently. And with the popularity of "The Voice of China", there are more and more newcomers with potential and emerging talents.
These days, Sister Zhu and her subordinates have been following and inspecting new students who are suitable and worthy of training, so they are naturally very busy.
While everyone was chatting about various topics related to Phoenix TV's popular broadcast, Liu Xinsheng suggested that everyone go to dinner together tonight, which was unanimously agreed.
And the person treating the guests was Mo Xiaohua.
In a nearby hotel private room where Liu Xinsheng and Yang Ming often gathered for dinner, several people were chatting and laughing about various topics in the entertainment industry.
"It's a pity that Lao Chai didn't come here today. He accompanied his daughter to the hospital again." Sister Zhu suddenly said.
"Is his daughter's condition better?" Yang Ming asked quickly. Originally, he had always wanted to see Lao Chai's daughter, but unfortunately, due to a lot of things that happened recently, he never had time. He planned to go there tomorrow to see her.
Yang Ming suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, how is the situation over there, Brother Zhao? I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to pay attention."
"The situation at Zhao Laoyan's side is very good. The TV series "Liu Laogen" he filmed was an instant hit!" Liu Xinsheng said, "Although the national ratings are only 4%, the ratings of the TV series he filmed in the Northeast were
It actually reached 20%, which is too exaggerated!”
"Northeast, that's his base camp." Mo Xiaohua said from the side.
As the general manager of Oriental DreamWorks, Liu Xinsheng naturally knew the situation of Lao Yan Studio, which he cooperated with, so he reported everything he knew to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming also learned about the progress on Zhao Laoyan's side.
Because Yang Ming sent Lao Chai to assist Zhao Laoyan in the filming, after a period of difficult adjustment at the beginning, the filming of "Liu Laogen" quickly got on track. By the end, Zhao Laoyan no longer needed Lao Chai.
With assistance, I can direct independently.
After the filming of "Liu Laogen" was completed, Zhao Laoyan got it to be broadcast on Northeast TV. The ratings were very good. The national ratings had already passed the 2% passing line. The key is that the ratings in the Northeast region were really popular.
And it's not over yet. Many people estimate that when the finale comes, the ratings of Zhao Laoyan's "Liu Laogen" in the Northeast region are likely to exceed the terrifying figure of 30%.
Even if this is not a national ratings, but a regional ratings, it is still an incredible data.
It can be said that through the current situation, Lao Yan Studio will definitely become a cash cow for Oriental DreamWorks in the future. As long as the audience in the Northeast supports Zhao Lao Yan, he will be in an invincible position.
At the dinner table, Yang Ming also told everyone that he was going to start shooting a movie and enter the big screen, and he would start preparing the crew in a few days.
At the end, when the party was about to end, Yang Ming suddenly asked: "By the way, do you know that Zheng Wen's script is ready?"
Ever since Yang Ming agreed to give Zheng Wen a budget of 20 million years ago, Zheng Wen has started preparing the script, but there has been no confirmed information until now.
"Forget it, I'll call and ask later!" Yang Ming said when he saw everyone looked like they didn't know.
Chapter completed!
