Chapter 249: The Good, the Bad, the Weird Premiere
Chapter 249: The premiere of "The Good, the Bad, the Weird"!
Never mind how smooth Huang Bo became and how much he understood the industry.
At least Huang Bo is still a complete newcomer in the industry now, and he really doesn't understand the twists and turns in the industry.
Wu Yuan, such a big director, treated him with respect and was optimistic about his future, which made him excited and lost his mind.
In this case, Wu Yuan expressed his desire to sign him, what could Huang Bo say?
Reject?
Impossible!
He could only honestly tell Wu Yuan about the contract he signed and how much the liquidated damages were.
When he heard that the liquidated damages were 1 million, Wu Yuan immediately waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, just wait for the news!"
One million in exchange for Huang Bo signing with the company for the next eight years, is this a good deal?
This is a great deal!
Putting his arm around Huang Bo's shoulders, Wu Yuan took him back to the main creative group with a smile on his face.
As soon as Liu Yifei saw his smile, she knew that this guy had done something satisfying again. She smiled and asked, "Brother, what did you talk about with Brother Bo? You look so happy."
"Nothing." Wu Yuan shook his head. This topic is not suitable to be discussed in front of everyone.
He directly changed the subject and said, "The premiere should be about to start, right?"
"Leslie, you should take them to the front to greet the guests."
Zhang Guorong looked at his watch and hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, it's almost time. The guests should start to arrive. Follow me to the front to greet them."
Immediately, more than ten people left the backstage to arrange the red carpet for the premiere, leaving Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei alone in the backstage.
Now that there were no outsiders around, Liu Yifei grabbed Wu Yuan's hand and asked curiously, "Brother, what did you say to Huang Bo just now? Why were you so happy?"
Although Huang Bo and she were both in the 2002 class of the Film Academy, the vocational class and the undergraduate class were not on the same floor, and in fact, the two had almost no contact and did not know each other.
She was curious why Wu Yuan treated Huang Bo so differently.
"Nothing." Wu Yuan did not hide it this time: "I just think Huang Bo will be a good actor in the future, so I want to recruit him to the company. I talked to him verbally for a few words, and I feel that he is quite willing."
As long as they are not Huayi's artists, it is easy for Guangying Times to recruit artists from other brokerage companies.
Because Guangying Times holds the company's own self-made movies, this advantage is not available to most mainland brokerage companies.
Only a few mainland brokerages such as Huayi, Orange Sky, Bona, and Emperor Entertainment Group in Hong Kong can compete with it.
Coincidentally, Huang Bo signed with none of the above companies, but a company that specializes in artist brokerage business. In terms of the richness of resources, it cannot be compared with Guangying Times.
This is also the chaotic situation of the current artist brokerage industry.
In recent years, domestic artist brokerage companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, but 80% of them are just a name.
A few employees, plus a few so-called professional brokers, the company is open, and then go to professional colleges to sign a few new students in the acting department, or go to Hengdian to wait and sign some role actors, and the company will be on the right track.
But in fact, they have no resources and no connections. They are called brokers, but they can't bring any benefits to the artists. They are just a big life assistant to help the artists prepare their audition resumes.
To really take the role, you still have to submit your resume everywhere and participate in the audition. It doesn't matter whether they are there or not. It still depends on whether the artist himself is famous and lucky.
So many actors with little fame now would rather choose to run alone than sign with such a small brokerage company.
There is no benefit except being exploited more.
Huang Bo suddenly became popular, and he didn't understand this. He thought it was a good thing to have an agency approach him, which meant he would become a real professional actor, so he signed with the company excitedly.
In a sense, it was also a good thing for Huang Bo that Wu Yuan poached him.
Because Wu Yuan really gave him resources, he was not exploiting him for nothing.
After telling Liu Yifei all the inside stories, she immediately patted her chest with lingering fear: "It turns out that there are so many twists and turns for a simple agency."
"I thought those professional agencies were all very powerful."
Liu Yifei, who has never lacked film and television resources, has never understood the chaotic agency situation in the circle.
Wu Yuan snorted, and said in a bored tone: "What professional agencies are there now?"
"Including the Orange Sky that Wang Jinhua jumped to, they just learned a little bit of Japanese agencies, and their main business is still investing in film production."
Real professional agencies will not appear until after 2012. They have no shortage of connections and resources, and they also have a special crisis public relations department and a professional hype packaging plan, which can quickly package an amateur into a traffic star.
What about setting up a person, hyping topics, buying hot searches, and pushing traffic? They are all very skilled. This is called professionalism!
What about the current agencies?
Including Tangren and Orange Sky, they only know how to foolishly give their own self-made movie and TV resources, and then give money to the media to write more press releases. It's very elementary!
Wu Yuan just doesn't like this set of traffic star creation methods, otherwise he must bring a little artist packaging shock to the domestic entertainment industry!
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the screening room."
Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei's hand and went to the screening room of "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" with her.
Half an hour later, the screening room, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people, was filled with guests, film critics and lucky fans who won the premiere tickets.
As the first "Western" in the mainland, "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" has attracted the attention of many domestic film critics and fans since the project was launched.
From the beginning, Zhang Guorong showed a tribute attitude and directly stated that this movie was a tribute to the classic Western "The Good, the Bad, the Weird", which was a localized adaptation.
Guangying Times also honestly bought the adaptation rights, but it would not be criticized in this regard.
The film critics and audiences at the scene were looking forward to what this localized Western would be like.
After Zhang Guorong went on stage to make a speech, thanked a lot of people, and talked about the interesting things in the filming of this movie and how hard it was to shoot, the premiere of the movie officially began.
As the dragon logo and the logo of the light and shadow era lit up and then went out, a figure riding a horse on the Gobi Desert appeared in front of all the audience.
Yellow sand flew all over the sky, and the figure riding a horse slowly turned around. Although the scarf covered most of his face, the audience could still tell at a glance that it was Liu Ye!
"Fight!"
After hitting the horse's butt hard, the horse rushed down the Gobi Desert with Liu Ye. The camera also turned to follow Liu Ye's perspective, and a steaming train was running not far ahead.
Many film critics immediately had an idea in their minds.
"Is this a train robbery!"
Such an exciting plot right at the beginning?
This movie is quite interesting!
Write a thousand more words in the next chapter.
