Chapter 408 Enviable Resources
The mainland box office of "Prehistoric: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" exceeded 2 billion, which benefited not only Aiyouteng Film Company, but also all the actors in the film.
But those who have benefited the most are naturally Han Tong, who plays Hou Yi, and Yan Dechen, who plays Chang'e.
Before the film was released, both of them could only be considered third-tier artists.
He has never starred in a large-scale or influential film or television drama, and has only played some outstanding supporting roles.
But after the release of "Prehistoric: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun", the two became popular overnight, their net worth increased significantly, and they are already popular as A-list stars.
As for the celebrity position, subsequent works and resources are needed to consolidate it.
Fortunately, both of them have switched to Aiyouteng Pictures. Even if the resources for the male and female protagonists of big-budget films are not enough, there are still many small and medium-cost films and large-budget TV series. This is also the envy of other companies' artists.
Huang Xiaoming now envied Han Tong and Yan Juchen.
Because since his contract with Huayi expired last year, he established his own studio and became the boss.
In fact, before this, he had hesitated whether to sign with Aiyouteng Pictures or start his own business.
His agent persuaded him, saying that Jiang Heng’s resources for starring in special effects blockbusters were too scarce, and even Aiyouten’s artists might not be able to get them.
If the role is suitable, there is still a chance even if the agency contract is not there.
The real benefits of signing there are actually opportunities for small and medium-cost films and large-scale TV series, which is very attractive to second- and third-tier artists.
But Huang Xiaoming has already reached the front line, and he is relatively well-off in the industry. He has so many resources that he can choose scripts at will.
Therefore, there is no need to sign up for Aiyouteng Pictures for the sake of the vague male protagonist resources in blockbusters, only to have others share the profits for nothing!
Anyway, you and Jiang Heng are familiar with each other and have a good relationship. I also have a relatively good relationship with Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and others, and they can help me if I need help.
After hearing this, Huang Xiaoming thought it made sense again and again, and finally became a studio and his own boss.
On the 28th, Huang Xiaoming drove a Bentley Mulsanne and drove Yang Tianbao to the Shangri-La Hotel, where the "Prehistoric: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" celebration was held.
But seeing the luxurious and spacious banquet hall filled with celebrities and big shots, Yang Tianbao's eyes lit up and he said in an envious tone: "So grand and luxurious!"
Huang Xiaoming looked proud, "Director Jiang's celebration party must be the best in the country in terms of ostentation. Even in Hollywood, there may not be such a scene!"
"Really?" Yang Tianbao looked curious.
"Of course!" Huang Xiaoming explained: "Those companies in Hollywood are all owned by capitalists. They only calculate input and output. They are very stingy and can't be compared with Director Jiang!"
Yang Tianbao became more and more envious, "It would be great if I could act in Director Jiang's film!"
Huang Xiaoming hurriedly said: "Don't worry, if there is a suitable role, I will definitely help you get it!"
After talking, the two went to find Jiang Heng, and saw that he was surrounded by several film company bosses, smiling and saying something.
Huang Xiaoming went over inconveniently. Although he was considered the boss, he was still incomparable to big film companies such as China Film and Shanghai Film.
Looking around, he saw Han Tong and Yan Juchen standing together, chatting with several artists, so Huang Xiaoming took Yang Tianbao over.
"Congratulations, Lao Han, Yuchen!" Huang Xiaoming said politely.
Han Tong lightly hammered Huang Xiaoming's shoulder and said with a smile: "You want to say this too?"
Huang Xiaoming chuckled, "How could your Hou Yi be better than my role as Xing Tian?"
Yan Deichen politely said thank you to Huang Xiaoming, took Yang Tianbao's hand and praised her for her beauty.
Yang Tianbao looked like a little fangirl, his eyes widened, and he smiled sweetly and said: "Chenchen, your role as Chang'e is so beautiful. Not only did you kill the man, but also the woman. I was almost confused because of my love!"
Yan Juchen's cheeks turned red when he heard this, and he said a little embarrassedly: "This is all taken by Director Jiang. As you can see, I'm not that beautiful!"
An actress next to her said: "Director Jiang's skills are so amazing, there are no flaws at all!"
Another said, "Yeah, I was shocked when I saw it. But she is already beautiful. If it's me, no matter how good Director Jiang's skills are, he can't save her!"
After saying this, several people laughed.
Yang Tianbao held Yan Dechen's hand with a concerned expression, "Chenchen, you are so popular now, the company should give you a lot of resources!"
"Nothing, just let me go and shoot a few movies first!" Yan Dechen said in a calm tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
The actors next to him had envious expressions on their faces. Yan Juchen would naturally not act as a supporting actor easily at this time. They should all be starring.
Starring in several movies a year, if the performance is good and the status is stable, then he will be a first-line star.
Coupled with the follow-up resources of Aiyouteng Pictures, it will be popular for at least five or six years!
Even Yang Tianbao felt a little sore at this moment.
In the past 2010, she participated in several movies, but they were all supporting roles, and there was no response after the release. I really envy Yan Dechen now!
Huang Xiaoming also couldn't help but wonder about Jiang Heng's arrangements for Han Tong. The latter said that the company had prepared several film and television dramas for him.
Normally, movie actors have a higher status than TV actors, but this cannot be generalized in the mainland entertainment industry.
Because many big-production TV series have large investment scales, are well-produced, have high remuneration for actors, and have wide influence, many first-line stars will also film TV series from time to time.
Especially those produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, because they are basically big investments, the quality is not inferior to movies, and many first-line stars are striving for them.
Huang Xiaoming was really envious after hearing Han Tong's next work arrangement.
He has a lot of film and television resources, but when it comes to investment scale, it is a bit incomparable.
It's really good to be under a big tree, but it's not so easy to be a boss!
Huang Xiaoming suddenly lost interest, and just as a few people came to talk to Han Tong and Yan Chen, he pulled Yang Tianbao out.
"I'm so envious, tell me, can I sign with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures!"
She is still a little transparent at this time, and the resources of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures are quite attractive to her.
Huang Xiaoming is also a very "wife-loving" person. He took Yang Tianbao to attend the celebration banquet with the idea of helping her to fight for resources.
Glancing at Jiang Heng in the distance, he said in a muffled voice: "I'll find a chance to mention it to Director Jiang. It shouldn't be a big problem!"
"That's great, husband, I love you!" Yang Tianbao smiled like a flower and threw a wink at Huang Xiaoming.
But Jiang Heng was always surrounded by people. Huang Xiaoming led Yang Tianbao forward and could only greet him in a very official and polite manner. It was not good to say in public, Director Jiang, can my girlfriend sign with your company?
Although the probability of being rejected by Jiang Heng was not very high, it would be a bit embarrassing if Director Jiang didn't really want to sign.
