Chapter 1304: The Mainland Is Different Now than It Used to Be

The West Lake Scenic Area can be said to be one of the most successfully operated scenic spots in China. After all, this is a scenic spot that has been blessed by a truly magical drama.

I remember when "The Legend of White Snake" became popular, the number of tourists here could not be described as too many. The crowds were simply overwhelming. Coupled with the strong support from Hangzhou for the construction of the West Lake Scenic Area.

Zhongxi Lake, a scenic spot that is currently well-known and has a good reputation, can definitely be ranked high. And there are quite a few crews here. You can see crews filming period dramas or new dramas about contemporary overbearing presidents everywhere.

There is a house or a hotel next to the West Lake. This is definitely a god-like blessing for the identity of the domineering president. Needless to say, the audience immediately thinks that this person is rich.

Yang Dongxu came to visit the class without making much noise. The car was parked in the parking lot of Xinghai Hotel. Zhou Yilun's MV shooting location is within the scenic area built by Xinghai Hotel. It is only a few steps away, so he was followed by Wu Sheng and several bodyguards in casual clothes hidden in the crowd.

So when Zhou Yilun answered a phone call and then went out to pick up someone with his brother and Lin Chiling. Many people in the crew stretched their heads to see who was so proud.

"You are busy with your business. I will come over and take a look. Don't delay your shooting just because I am here." Yang Dongxu said to Zhou Yilun with a smile.

"I just shot a few scenes. The hotel has a nice view and it was very convenient. I heard that Mr. Yang has shot music videos and directed movies before," Zhou Yilun asked with a smile. road.

"I did shoot a music video before. At that time, Heiner was not very big and I had to do everything by myself. I also directed a few movies, but mostly as a screenwriter."

"Want to give it a try?" Zhou Yilun motioned to the camera next to him.

"Forget it, forget it." Yang Dongxu waved his hand: "It's good that I haven't touched it in the past year. I liked photography for a while and studied lens filters for a while.

But that was back when I was in college. Nowadays, these mechanical equipment are updated very quickly. Some buttons, long and short lenses, etc. are definitely not as accurate as these professional masters. Have someone bring over the prepared fruits. "

The last sentence was said to Wu Sheng.

You must bring a gift when you come to visit the class. This gift is not just for the person visiting the class. It is also very necessary to bring something to the crew.

Especially for some newcomers, if a big star comes to visit the crew, they will prepare fruits, water or other things for the crew. That's not just for face, it also shows that the newcomer has a really good relationship with the star.

Of course, now Zhou Yilun obviously does not need to hold him up like this, but gives some small benefits to the crew so that the crew can treat him better. However, many people don’t blame this kind of icing on the cake, and it is easy to win the favor of others.

I didn’t see it. Before, everyone was craning their heads to see who Yang Dongxu was, a young man with extraordinary temperament. Now, when they heard that there was fruit to eat, everyone was curious and instantly became happy?

"Brother Li has returned to Yanjing?"

There are a lot of fruits to bring. After all, this is in the area of ​​Xinghai Hotel. It is really not enough to just tell the hotel and someone will deliver it quickly.

Of all the fruits, Yang Dongxu’s favorite is undoubtedly watermelon. Especially in the summer, it is definitely a great pleasure to eat iced watermelon boldly.

But this season was obviously past the time for eating watermelons. He always felt that the watermelons grown in greenhouses that changed the natural laws of fruit growth tasted strange and unpleasant.

Of course, there must be imported watermelons that taste better, but this does not mean that imported watermelons are necessarily more delicious than domestic ones. Anyway, whether it is imported watermelon or watermelon grown in the fields of his hometown, there is not much difference in the taste of Yang Dongxu.

Imported watermelons at this time are only delicious. Due to geographical reasons, there are places in other places that are suitable for growing watermelons all year round. Watermelons grown in a suitable climate environment naturally taste better than watermelons grown in greenhouses.

"I went back yesterday after I went up. He is such a busy man and kept accompanying me while I was filming the MV. I was very stressed." Zhou Yilun said with a smile.

He is very grateful to Li Zongsheng. After all, he was able to come out of that small place in Wanwan and not only became popular in the mainland, but his influence even radiated throughout Asia.

Li Zongsheng's help to him can be said to be indispensable, although he himself is indeed very talented. But without the support of noble people, this road will undoubtedly be more tortuous.

"Brother, how do you feel about coming to the mainland? Are you getting used to it?" Yang Dongxu turned his head and spoke to Fei Yuqing.

The Lich King is an existence that everyone knows about on the Internet in later generations, but in reality, the little brother looks a little shy.

In particular, he likes to wear formal suits and ties, which gives the impression that he is a serious and rigorous person. Who would have thought that he could be so open-minded on the show and have a great time without anyone's guidance.

"To be honest, I felt a little uncomfortable the first few days after I came here, but I'm much better now."

"Where's Zhiling?"

"I am more adaptable than my younger brother. After all, I used to walk around when I was in school. But I was quite surprised after I came to the mainland.

Only after I came here did I realize that the mainland is much better than I imagined. Especially Hangzhou, which is not a big city like Shanghai, feels more prosperous than Wanwan. And I feel like the people here are very hardworking. Lin Chiling spoke with a Taiwanese accent.

The girl's Taiwanese accent gives people a feeling of numbness and shyness, which sounds quite nice. It's not like some women who always try to act young when they speak, and their voices give people goose bumps.

"Compared to many industries in Taiwan, which are already fixed, the development in the mainland is indeed changing with each passing day, so it gives people a more positive feeling." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"That's right." Lin Zhiling nodded continuously.

In fact, some things are hard to say. Before coming to the mainland, her impression of the mainland still remained in that backward and poor era. After all, many Taiwanese media promote it in this way.

Even though the number of tourists going to Taiwan has increased year by year in recent years, many Taiwanese still feel that their side is so developed and the mainland is so backward.

But after coming to the mainland, she found that it was not like what the media reported. Although there are indeed many backward places in the mainland, some places are really developed, and even have a feeling of surpassing Taiwan.

Especially big cities like Yanjing and Shanghai, which are not comparable to things like Taipei and Kaohsiung. So if you don't come to the mainland, you can't feel that the mainland is no longer the mainland of the past, nor is it the poor and backward mainland reported by the Taiwan media.

After a few more casual chats, Yang Dongxu got up and left. He needs to speed up the company's affairs in Hangzhou these days, and then go to Yanjing to see Li Li. Then he will fly all over the country. At the end of the year, he has to sort out all the companies, which is his busiest time.

"Have you two considered developing in the mainland?" The crew was still arranging the scene for the next shot, and Zhou Yulun and the other two sat together and continued to chat.

"I talked to Brother Li here, and I plan to sign a short-term contract with Haina first." Fei Yuqing said.

His side is relatively simple. After all, even if he doesn't come to the mainland, signing a contract with Haina will greatly improve his career. Haina is now the overlord of Asia, and has already entered Hollywood. This is a feat that no film and television company in Asia has achieved so far.

"I can't be sure. You know, Haina has no intention of signing model artists. They may not even sign many celebrity artists. Only talents like you can be treated differently by Haina." Lin Zhiling said helplessly.

Haina can be said to be a wonder among all film and television entertainment companies. Other companies are eager to tie up the pillars tightly. Once they find other artists with promising prospects, they are like hungry wolves.

Haina has always been calm in this regard. If you are willing to sign, sign. If you don't want to sign, forget it. This is the case with celebrities, directors, and even singers.

What's even more speechless is that this is such a casual company. Whether it is making movies, TV series, or releasing records, they are basically very popular and rarely lose money.

As for the problem of having few artists under its umbrella, it's even more speechless. As long as Haina needs it, it can always dig out a few useful ones from some inconspicuous places, and most of them are not only useful, but also popular.

So Haina's favorite thing is to use its unique vision to find those unknown but popular artists to maximize its own interests.

Of course, Haina's generous contracts are also well-known in the industry. Even many film and television companies that promoted it at the beginning thought that Haina was building its own grave. Wolves eat meat. This is a rule set since ancient times. Hollywood is the same, but it is just more beautiful than the domestic packaging.

They are actually trying to give meat to sheep. Sheep eat grass, okay?

So when some of Haina's profit-sharing contracts and the news of giving options to artists were released, it can be said that there was an uproar in the entertainment industry.

Everyone felt that Haina had been so powerful for so long and finally made a stupid move. One by one, they moved their small stools and waited for the collapse of Haina's building, and they looked at the side to see if they could grab a piece of meat.

But what surprised everyone was that after a brief period of chaos, Haina's contract formulation quickly stabilized. When the artists made more money than before, Haina made more money, which instantly made these melon-eating people feel that the melons in their hands were not fragrant.

"Although Haina doesn't have any advertising or modeling industry, it has many channels for endorsements, especially some big international contract endorsements. Haina is definitely the company with the most contracts in Asia." Zhou Yulun couldn't help but say.

After signing Haina's debut, he originally wanted to stabilize his record market before doing other things to make money. However, he never thought that Haina was particularly experienced in this area. While not delaying his expansion of his own music market, he got a lot of high-quality endorsements.

He didn't even need to find favors to snatch many endorsements, nor did he need his agent to negotiate. He just went to the company to sign a contract, and then the endorsement was his, and he just had to shoot the advertisement according to the company's arrangement.
