Chapter 625 Zhang Shengli

As for the other characters in the play, Tan Yue plans to let Wang Yang be responsible for selecting them and just do the final review himself.

With the work in hand temporarily finished, Tan Yue opened the official website of the General Administration of Culture and clicked on the list of public figures.

Seeing that he was still number one on the list of top public figures, Tan Yue sighed, "It seems that it is almost impossible to enter the list of top public figures."

The Feitian Award is a ‘government’ award and is the most authoritative award for TV dramas.

In the past, if you could win so many awards at the Feitian Awards, your ranking on the list of public figures would definitely rise a lot.

Xin Zhi is now ranked 19th on the list of first-line public figures, and Jiao Cheng's ranking has also improved, reaching 11th.

Other recipients of awards have seen their rankings on the list of public figures improve. Even nominated actors and directors have seen their rankings on the list change.

But his first place remains unchanged.

The gap between the front line and the top is like a chasm, which cannot be overcome with just a few works. It is a cumulative process, and only sufficient quantitative changes can bring about qualitative changes.

From the current industry perspective, Bright Entertainment is a first-class entertainment company, but Tan Yue knows that there is still a big gap between it and the other two established entertainment companies.

Tianjing Entertainment and Guangmei Entertainment both have top-notch artists.

In this aspect, Bright Entertainment is a little behind.

Another reason why Tan Yue switched to filmmaking is that he hopes to join the ranks of top public figures as soon as possible, so that Cuican Entertainment can officially secure its position as a first-class entertainment company in this highly competitive entertainment industry.

Qindao.

It is snowing in most parts of the north, but a cold wind is blowing in Qindao. Pedestrians walking on the road are wrapped tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed, but they still cannot resist the cold wind.

A high-end community.

"How are you doing lately? Has the company given you a role?"

Zhang Shengli put the dishes he had just picked up back down, put down his chopsticks, and shook his head with difficulty. He had been at home for more than half a year, and Huaguang Entertainment seemed to have forgotten him, especially in recent years, when the company picked him up There are fewer and fewer roles, and two or three roles a year are already good.

Zhang Shengli did not dare to look up at his wife. Over the past few years, his wife had gradually become the breadwinner of the family, while he was idle at home, which severely damaged his self-esteem.

His wife picked up a piece of meat, put it in Zhang Shengli's bowl, and comforted her: "It's okay, just wait and see. With your acting skills, you will not lose to the current first-line actors. You only have one chance left."

Zhang Shengli's wife is an outsider. They have been married for ten years and their child is eight years old.

Zhang Shengli said weakly: "Well, there are many outdated artists like me in the entertainment industry, and they all lack a chance to prove themselves."

Speaking of this sentence, Zhang Shengli has a deep understanding of it. The past events are vivid in his mind, from being praised by all the stars to being ignored by no one.

Back then, Zhang Shengli was a group performer. During the filming, he was spotted by the director due to his martial arts skills, and he directly played the second male lead in the play.

Unexpectedly, after the movie was broadcast, the protagonist did not become famous, but he became famous.

Later, many directors began to look for him to make movies, and many entertainment companies wanted to sign him.

Whether it was resources or contract fees, Huaguang Entertainment offered the highest price at the time. Naturally, Zhang Shengli chose the company. After all, who can't live with money?

Huaguang Entertainment has indeed fulfilled its promise, and the entire company's resources are tilted towards him.

Zhang Shengli lived up to Huaguang Entertainment's expectations of him and made a lot of money for the company, and more importantly, he won a lot of fame.

At that time, Huaguang Entertainment Company was firmly among the top three among second-tier entertainment companies.

However, the world changed so fast that Zhang Shengli was abandoned by the market before he could adapt well.

With the development of science and technology, special effects appeared. Compared with punches and physical effects, special effects dazzled the audience. They could fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and have three heads and six arms.

From then on, martial arts movies began to decline.

After several struggles, Huaguang Entertainment finally gave up on martial arts films.

Zhang Shengli's reputation is still there. The company filmed several transformation films for him, but the results were very unsatisfactory and his status in the company began to decline.

Some of the martial arts stars in the same group as Zhang Shengli retired early, while others turned to behind the scenes as martial arts instructors.

But Zhang Shengli's ambition has always been to be in front of the screen, and he doesn't want to work behind the scenes.

Now that Zhang Shengli has his name in the company, he doesn't have to pay any fees. There is no loss to Huaguang Entertainment.

Seeing Zhang Shengli's decadent look, his wife felt very distressed. She had not seen the arrogance on his face for a long time.

After this period of sluggishness, Zhang Shengli also began to have the idea of ​​​​turning to behind-the-scenes work. Supporting the family was a matter for two people. Seeing his wife leaving early and returning late every day to work for the family, he felt very sorry.

‘Ring ring ring’.

Zhang Shengli saw that it was an unfamiliar number and thought it was a sales call that didn't go through, so he hung up.

Before I put down the phone in my hand, it rang again.

Seeing that it was still the same number, Zhang Shengli frowned and answered the call anyway, "Hello, hello!"

"Hello, I am the director of the film department of Cuican Entertainment Company. My name is Wang Yang. Is this Mr. Zhang Shengli?"

"Well, yes, what's the matter with you?" Zhang Shengli was stunned when he heard Wang Yang's self-introduction and asked doubtfully.

Now that Cuican Entertainment is at its peak, Zhang Shengli doesn't know why the director of the film department of Cuican Entertainment suddenly found him.

"It's like this. Our company wants to make a movie in the near future and would like to invite you to play the protagonist. I wonder if you have any intention in this regard?"

"Really or not?" Zhang Shengli blurted out.

Wang Yang smiled and said: "Really, the director is our Mr. Tan."

Zhang Shengli was a little confused, "Mr. Tan? Teacher Tan Yue?"

"Yes."

Zhang Shengli took a breath. Now he still has a very clear understanding of himself. His fame is almost gone. How could Tan Yue find him to make a movie?

Zhang Shengli would not believe that a pie in the sky happened, let alone that it happened to fall on him.

Wang Yang explained: "Mr. Tan only has one criterion for selecting actors - appropriateness. You should also understand this aspect."

Zhang Shengli on the other end of the phone nodded slightly. He had heard about this from friends in the circle.

"Teacher Zhang, your image matches the character in the play. Mr. Tan hopes that you can play this role." Wang Yang's name for Zhang Shengli also began to change.

The volume on Zhang Shengli's mobile phone was relatively loud, and his wife next to him also heard the voice on the phone. Looking at the smile on his wife's face, Zhang Shengli took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement and said: "Okay, okay, I promise you!"

Although Tan Yue has never made a movie, every TV series he has produced is quite popular, and he has just won the Feitian Award for Outstanding Director, making him a very popular director at the moment.

Zhang Shengli felt that it was a stroke of luck to be able to participate in his work.

What's more, Zhang Shengli has nothing to film now, so what reason does he have to refuse?

Zhang Shengli's body was so excited that he was shaking a little.

Wang Yang continued: "Teacher Zhang, don't talk to your entertainment company about making a movie yet."

"why is that?"

If Zhang Shengli takes the job, he must report it to the company.

"Are you willing to terminate the contract with Huaguang Entertainment? If you sign with our Bright Entertainment, we will be responsible for your liquidated damages." Wang Yang asked tentatively.

After receiving Tan Yue's call, Wang Yang had people quickly investigate Zhang Shengli's current situation at Huaguang Entertainment.

Ever since Zhang Shengli's popularity began to decline, Huaguang Entertainment no longer paid attention to him and would hardly invest any resources in him. The contracts between the two have also been changed several times, and the liquidated damages will not exceed 5 million. For the company, it is still within the scope of responsibility.

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhang Shengli's voice was trembling.

Without fame, there are no resources. The less resources you have, the less famous you are.

All outdated stars will go through this kind of cycle of death.

Zhang Shengli wanted to leave Huaguang Entertainment for a long time and change to a new environment. But with his current popularity, basically no entertainment company will be willing to bear this liquidated damages.

"Of course it's true."

Zhang Sheng agreed quickly: "I am willing."

Wang Yang laughed with relief. He completed the first task assigned to him by Tan Yue: "Okay, Teacher Zhang, happy cooperation!"

"Cooperative entertainment."

The two then added each other's contact information, and Wang Yang sent the location of the Bright Entertainment Company.

Zhang Shengli pinched his arm hard, and he still felt like he was dreaming.

A has-been martial arts artist was actually invited by Tan Yue to star in the show, and he even signed a contract with Bright Entertainment Company.

The wife said happily: "I told you that you can definitely wait for this opportunity."

The decadence on Zhang Shengli's face was wiped away. Although he didn't know the type of movie yet, he had already made up his mind: No matter what type it is, he must play this role well.

This opportunity was hard-won. Once he missed it, Zhang Shengli felt that he would never make a comeback.

Now he not only has to prove himself, but also the family in front of him.

Zhang Shengli brought two glasses and replaced the wine with juice. The couple clinked the glasses.

Bright Entertainment Company.

Wang Yang came to Tan Yue's office to report on his work.

"Mr. Tan, we have contacted Zhang Shengli. He will be here in the next two days, and he is also willing to sign a contract with our company." Wang Yang completed the task assigned by Tan Yue, and his confidence increased a lot, and he felt less uneasy. A lot.

Tan Yue was slightly surprised. He didn't expect it to be completed so quickly. He smiled and nodded and said, "Well done. You can send the electronic version of the script to Zhang Shengli first so that he can familiarize himself with the script, and then he can audition directly after arriving."

"no problem."

Wang Yang now felt like he was carrying wind when he walked. When he returned to the fourth floor, he happened to meet Qian Tao.

Qian Tao asked: "Hey, Lao Wang, what makes you so happy?"

Wang Yang also complained to Qian Tao privately.

No matter how Qian Tao tried to persuade him, Wang Yang still looked sad all day long. Seeing Wang Yang so happy today, I was a little confused for a while.

Wang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Tan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yang stopped the car.

Inviting Zhang Shengli to be the protagonist of the movie and signing him are still in the confidential stage. Wang Yang dare not say anything without Tan Yue's permission.

I finally had a good impression in Tan Yue's mind, but I couldn't let it break because of my big mouth.

"What's wrong with Mr. Tan?" Qian Tao asked doubtfully.

Wang Yang stretched out his hand and whispered, "Shh, keep it secret for now."

Wang Yang smiled and walked away, returning to his office.

Qian Tao now has a brick in his hand, and it is estimated that he has hit Wang Yang's head. He hates people who speak halfway.

Qian Tao turned around and complained, "This old Wang next door is getting worse and worse."

The employees working around couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

That afternoon, Zhang Shengli flew to Beijing.

After arriving in Beijing, he went straight to Huaguang Entertainment Company.

Zhang Shengli knocked on the office of the director of the artist department with excitement.

"Come in."

Sun Hui put out his cigarette butt and smiled, "Teacher Zhang, why are you here today?"

As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. In Sun Hui's eyes, Zhang Shengli in front of him has long been worthless, just a little better than an ordinary person.

Zhang Shengli straightened his back and said, "Boss Sun, I want to terminate the contract."

Sun Hui pretended to keep him: "Teacher Zhang, is there something wrong with the company? Why do you suddenly want to terminate the contract?"

Zhang Shengli kept a smile on his face: "It's my personal reason, and I hope the company can agree."

Sun Hui shook his head and said regretfully: "Well, okay, you sit down first."

If it was other more important artists, Sun Hui would definitely repeatedly retain them and ask the reason for the termination, but for Zhang Shengli, Sun Hui felt that there was no need to waste that energy.

Not only does the termination of the contract not require paying Zhang Shengli a signing fee, but it can also get a penalty, so why not do it.

If a company has an artist terminate the contract, it must report to the senior management and get their consent, but at present Zhang Shengli is no longer an artist valued by the boss, Sun Hui can make the decision, and only needs to report it.

He went out to get the contract.

After a moment, Sun Hui took out the contract and said, "This is the contract termination letter. Because you proposed the termination, you have to pay a penalty of three million. You can sign it first. When the money arrives in the company's account, this contract will take effect immediately."

When Sun Hui said the three million penalty, his heart was a little hesitant.

He didn't know whether Zhang Shengli had three million now.

Zhang Shengli read the contract carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he picked up a pen and signed the termination contract without any hesitation.

After Sun Hui was surprised, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. When Zhang Shengli raised his head, he immediately returned to a look of regret.

Zhang Shengli said, "That's it."

Sun Hui nodded heavily and reminded, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, the contract will take effect when the money arrives."

Zhang Shengli took the contract, walked out of Huaguang Entertainment Company, and looked back.

In his heart, there was no place for Huaguang Entertainment Company to stay.

"This place has witnessed my glory and my lows. Today I can finally say goodbye."

Relieved Zhang Shengli's eyes became firm: "Brilliant Entertainment Company will definitely witness my rise."

He wants to let Huaguang Entertainment Company know that it's not that his ability is not good, but that their vision is wrong.
