Chapter 78 Complex Arrangements

Wu Yuanfei, the boss of Sanshan Film, always felt that what happened recently was a bit inexplicable. Zhu Yu sent a fax without saying hello, asking their company's agency department to give quotation guidelines for Guan Shiyue's participation in the shooting of long advertisements, single-time variety shows and series, advertising endorsements and other activities.

In the industry, most of the time, no matter how big or small the actors participate in various activities, they are always floating in the circle. Asking any agent, producer or director will tell you whether the actor is cheaper and what kind of project is affordable. Generally, the budgets in various PPTs that are passed on to each other in the circle are made according to half-rumor and half-speculative things, and they will not really ask the agency.

So, what are the quotation criteria? It is usually a thing like this: which type of activity to participate in, the occupied schedule, the brand to cooperate, how to consider such a price, and what formula will be used to calculate the basic quotation. Then, which type of project is not to be discussed, which type of project needs to have prerequisites, which price can be floated, and what main things to pay attention to...such as how many endorsement contracts the actor has, what projects that may cause conflict, etc. Such a thing needs to be tested for the broker

The company's brokerage team's comprehensive capabilities: business connection, grasp of the positioning of the broker's object, sensitivity to the market, choice of development routes, and sorting out various legal and financial routes of cooperation. Generally, small brokerage companies cannot come up with such a quotation standard for their leading actors. This thing is too professional. Moreover, the general quotation standard will also state how long the quotation will be valid. This time may be a natural month, year, or it may be related to when the projects involved in the actors and artists will be launched.

When a partner asks the agency for quotation criteria, generally speaking, his meaning is: I am very interested and may invite this actor. You send the official document to me and see if there is a basis for cooperation. The quotation criteria given by the agency are generally slightly higher than the actual market price, and the high standard itself is a benchmark for the attitude of cooperation. If the usual price of an actor's drama is 10 million, and the quotation criteria given by the agency is 30 million, then there is no need to talk about it. The other party's meaning is: I'm afraid there is no way to cooperate this time, keep in touch, and talk about it next time. If you don't give any feedback at all, everyone understands what it means.

After exchanging the quotation criteria, most of the person in charge of both parties will make a phone call to communicate briefly about what's going on. If you are really interested in cooperation, the actor's agent will soon cooperate with the preparations for business accumulation. Of course, the project may not be possible in the end, and it is okay. The two parties have exchanged contact information and tested the three views and work attitudes of both parties through previous cooperation. Whether to continue to cooperate in the future is a good foundation.

Wu Yuanfei is 56 years old this year. Everyone in the company knows that he regards Guan Shiyue as his daughter... In fact, Guan Shiyue is the daughter of his old comrade-in-arms. His old comrade-in-arms saved his life, and he always thought of repaying him. However, his old comrade-in-arms died early. After getting involved in heavy troops, even his wife, Guan Shiyue's mother was overwhelmed with some of the remaining fines in the family. At that time, Guan Shiyue was left behind while studying in junior high school. She really had no living expenses and had no way to do anything, so she thought about the phone number left by her father's old comrade-in-arms.

Then, Wu Yuanfei became Guan Shiyue's guardian. He didn't know anything else, so he took Guan Shiyue to study art and perform. Guan Shiyue mumbled all the way and didn't like these at all. He kept saying that it was better to go to the college entrance examination and go to the university, but he couldn't resist Wu Yuanfei, so he had to listen to adults all the way. When she first participated in a TV series, when others were waiting for the scene, she was browsing her mobile phone and Weibo, and she was the only one who brought a collection of study questions. Although Guan Shiyue went to Beijing Film Academy later, in terms of college entrance examination results, it was okay to go to Beijing Normal University. Until now, although Guan Shiyue accepted the reality that she was already a star, she was still easy to learn... Basically, this is a good thing.

Of course, there are many people who covet Guan Shiyue, but this is Wu Yuanfei. Sanshan Film is indeed not a top company in the industry, but it can't stand many comrades, and other aspects are solid enough. If you don't have those romance dramas, you can't make the main theme war movies and spy movies. Wu Yuanfei is from the propaganda system of the army, with a series of old leaders and comrades. Then, based on this project, he exchanges resources and cooperates with other companies. Sanshan Film is now a well-known large-scale enterprise in the circle, and some sub-categories are definitely the first.

It is precisely because of these developments that Wu Yuanfei has really heard of a lot of things about Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu set up a publishing company in Hong Kong, and then hit it off with the young author Yue Qingyan, and soon made two movies. The artists under Sanshan Film also appeared in the show.

Zhu Yu is not a simple person himself. He is decisive in his work, but he has always been very good at friends and partners. He has a well-known reputation in the circle. Although she operates in Hong Kong, everyone seems to know what the situation is. The mainland regards Zhu Yu as his own.

Looking at the fax sent by Hongju Publishing Company, Wu Yuanfei also smiled bitterly. If you have time to make two movies, you are still doing something that seems very troublesome. If you take it, you won’t register a new company. Is it more legitimate to do it?

Wu Yuanfei asked his secretary: "Mr. Zhu has no other communication? Just send a fax?"

The secretary said a little embarrassedly: "Now everyone doesn't use it very much. The fax was from more than two days ago. It was placed there. Someone saw it this morning, so he sent it to me directly. Miss Guan's business has always been cooked by you myself."

"You ask the brokerage department to issue a quotation standard and report it to the actual price. Then, let Shiyue's assistant come here once in the afternoon. This is the matter... You see, after you delayed for two days, I was embarrassed. Zhu Yu, I don't know what the situation is, give me this set."

The secretary quickly said, "Mr. Wu, haven't you asked Miss Guan for afternoon tea later? Miss Guan said she would take you to rest and adjust well, so she can't let her pigeons go."

"Oh, okay. Then I'll go and talk to her myself in the afternoon." Wu Yuanfei thought for a while and said, "You send the quotation standard within an hour. Then I call Zhu Yu and say it myself."

Wu Yuan flew until two o'clock in the afternoon and called Zhu Yu in the car on the way to have afternoon tea with Guan Shiyue.

"Mr. Zhu, I am Wu Yuanfei."

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yu was a little surprised: "Oh? Mr. Wu, why did you call me personally?"

"I'm here to apologize. Someone just saw the fax you sent this morning. Almost no one uses fax now, so I ignored it. Sorry, it won't delay your affairs, right?"

Zhu Yu hurriedly said, "It's okay, I've transferred the quotation criteria to me just now. I'm still at the airport and have just landed for a while and haven't had time to see it."

"Oh? Where are you going?"

"Shanghai... Actually, I'm not embarrassed. I should have asked Mr. Ge to bring you a message, but Mr. Ge seems to be in a closed state again and can't find anyone. I'm full of words and it's hard to explain to my friends, so I rush to send a fax to your company. I think we are all old-fashioned people, and you should understand this."

"Shanghai?" Wu Yuanfei looked at the time: "I'm going to Shanghai for a meeting the day after tomorrow. Are you still there then?"

For these business people, the time window for one or two days is already very nervous. It is really hard to say whether they can meet it.

"That's the best. I'll also ask this for my close partners. What if I meet together?"

"Who? Can you come forward with it?"

"Yue Qingyan. Yinwen Culture... Well, you may not know that it is the one who wrote "Yinying"."

"I know. I also watched "Yinying", but I just didn't join the reader meeting." Wu Yuanfei smiled and said, "Okay, I know. When we meet and chat, I will take Shiyue there. She will live in Shanghai in the future except filming. It will be introduced to local friends."

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed. There was a lot of hope for this matter. Zhu Yu knew that he was not an outsider, but it was hard to say how much Wu Yuanfei knew about him and whether he was willing to give him face. If Mr. Ge was in a match, it would be easy to say, but the guy who saw the dragon and didn't see the tail would probably disappear for a while because of some project.

Fortunately, it seems that Wu Yuanfei gave this face. Although he said a few short sentences, he has already explained the problem clearly and his attitude is positive and friendly. It seems that Wu Yuanfei has known Zhu Yu for a long time.

Various communications in the circle, grasping various subtle scales, and perceiving other people's attitudes, positions, and positioning towards others is really a very complex and important science.

As for Guan Shiyue's permanent residence in Shanghai in the future? This is also interesting information. Guan Shiyue is basically Wu Yuanfei's daughter, and she gets along well with Wu Yuanfei's biological daughter. However, there are many rumors in the circle, saying that Guan Shiyue may inherit Sanshan Film in the future, switch from an artist to a management team, and challenge Wu Yuanfei's daughter's inheritance rights. Guan Shiyue is probably too annoyed, so she just stays away. She has a good relationship, but since there is a convenient connection between Beijing and Shanghai, everyone is in the circle, so she is not afraid of missing contact and communication. But in this way, her attitude and position show that in addition to acting, she will no longer mix any business directions related to Sanshan Film.

Such a statement is at least beneficial to the project "Birth of Story". Although Guan Shiyue has starred in many good works along the way, she basically invested in Sanshan Film and Television, or had business cooperation. In fact, it is said that there is no other business connection in pure brokerage business, and none of them are there.

It is not nonsense to say that Guan Shiyue’s star status was completely made by Sanshan Film and was made with money. But people are happy to have this friendship and resources, and those who say strange things in the circle are just sour grapes. And Guan Shiyue is going to leave the core of Sanshan Film and it is not a good thing to leave a part of the business.
