Chapter 539 The real crisis
For a country that has been threatened by earthquakes and tsunamis all year round.
He has a strong sense of crisis and is integrated into almost everyone's bloodline.
Seeing that super giant companies were about to appear in Asia, these people acted impatiently just in case.
However, who would have thought that in the few days they took action.
Suddenly, a rumor was published in the paparazzi tabloid.
"Hong Kong City Capital has launched a large-scale attack on the film and television industry in Neon Kingdom.
Neon Country stars are likely to usher in a surge in value.
Oriental Dragon Cinemas has 13,000 cinemas and is trying to create a group of top international superstars in Asia.
I wonder, among the stars in Neon Country, who can take this fast train? Become an internationally renowned superstar.”
As paparazzi tabloids began to publish news one by one, and with various film and television companies, they inexplicably wanted to renew their contracts with a number of artists in advance.
There are even many traps in the contract and trying every means to increase the penalty for liquidated damages.
Such an abnormal behavior is in cooperation with the news from the entertainment tabloid.
The stars who were originally a little happy became alert one by one.
Celebrities are just a job, and everyone just wants to earn more money and live a better life.
The company suddenly wants to raise its salary, which is something to celebrate for anyone.
But who would have thought that behind this celebration was the company that wanted to tie everyone up on a boat.
On weekdays, these celebrities either work diligently and keep their heads down and only care about creation, or they are full of luxury and rich all day long.
These people did not have such a sensitive nerve to notice the monster that was about to grow in the Harbor City.
They are even more unimaginable that they have the opportunity to sign contracts with these Hongcheng companies, and they cannot even rule out becoming world-class film and television stars and top singers in the future.
It is precisely because there is no such sensitive business nerve. When the company hopes to renew the contract at a high price, some people can't resist the temptation. Less than two days after the company proposed a contract negotiation, someone has signed their own name on a black and white contract and stamped their own seal.
Now, with the intervention of paparazzi.
Various gossips on the news level are flying all over the sky.
Faced with such news that it is flying all over the sky, although many people cannot tell the difference between true and false.
But the current situation is not just disadvantages but no advantages.
Paparazzi intervention, those magazine editors who entertain tabloids.
In order to cater to the public's taste, ordinary audiences and readers can digest this knowledge and information content as quickly as possible.
The articles written are extremely down-to-earth and use the most accessible language to let everyone see the direction of the future market.
At this time, I saw these simple and clear articles.
Many celebrities feel that they have been deceived and even want to terminate the contract with the company immediately.
As things fermented bigger and bigger, paparazzi's entertainment tabloids listed in detail what happened in Hong Kong City.
Originally, Brother Fa was a little star with an annual income of 200,000 yuan.
The big star instantly expanded to the point where he could win 14 million top contracts.
It is not that these stars become valuable overnight, but that they have huge capital to jump into the industry and flood the flooding effect.
For capital, 14 million is just a drizzle.
But for practitioners in this industry, this is a sky-high price that they can't even imagine in their dreams.
The difference in capital rank stirs the entire industry.
Even with the addition of capital, a giant with 13,000 cinemas was born overnight.
If any film company can board this giant ship, then its various directors, screenwriters, photographers, and movie stars will naturally have a higher value.
When the stars of Neon Kingdom saw in magazines that Cheng Long, a kung fu star who is known as Bruce Lee's successor, was able to get a contract of 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
This series of numbers deeply stimulates every top star in Neon Country.
These Neon Country stars think that they are no worse than Cheng Long in all aspects?
Even if you can't get a super contract of HK$100 million, you can get a half price, which is far more than your current income.
Thinking of this, those celebrities who have completed early renewal of their contracts with the company.
But I feel that I have lost hundreds or hundreds of billions of Japanese yen.
After all, once you sign a contract with this capital from Hong Kong City, even if you don’t get much benefit at the moment, the other party owns 13,000 cinemas.
As long as a movie has a pleasant box office, it is definitely the status of an international superstar.
For performing artists in any country, if you want to go abroad to become an international superstar and have box office appeal in other unfamiliar countries, you need not only strength, courage, but also capital support.
Without capital support, even if it is unmatched in the local market.
It is also a star who is unwilling to be in the international market.
"Don't renew your contract with the company, especially at such a critical moment.
Anyway, you still have a three-year contract with the company.
Even if you want to renew your contract for the last year, it is still time. At this moment, the market prospects are unclear.
It is better to stand quietly and observe slowly, which is more in line with your own interests.
Some people thought the company wanted to support him, so they couldn't wait to make an appointment in advance.
Now, these people are really stupid enough.” A middle-aged man, while resting on the set, said as he looked at his juniors in his company.
“Yes, senior.
I will be careful about renewing the contract.
However, when things got to this point, the company's senior management would definitely change from being deceptive in the past to being aggressive.
Even if you guess correctly, if your stars do not sign a contract, they will probably not be arranged to perform important roles in the past few years within the contract.
What's more, all commercial activities have been completely stopped.
The cessation of business activities means a significant reduction in revenue.
Although the business activities of celebrities stop, the company will also reduce some commissions.
However, senior executives of these companies would rather watch these stars be hidden and be forgotten by the market than to turn over to Hong Kong-funded companies.
Even those who are cultivated by themselves will become their own gravediggers in the future.
These stars have certain appeal in the local market.
Coupled with the popularity of Hong Kong capital, it has seriously suppressed the traditional market of local film companies.
The fans who originally supported local film companies are likely to turn to support the movies shot by Hong Kong-funded companies as these stars turn to support the movies shot by Hong Kong-funded companies.
If this continues, local film companies may fall one after another.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this consideration that the senior executives of these film companies are eager to complete the contract renewal.
It’s a pity that the paparazzi demolished the stage, and now it has become an embarrassing scene of being in a difficult situation.” Although filming on the set, things are so big that many people read the scripts and the news in the past two days.
After all, such news is related to their status and income. Both big stars and small stars always pay attention to it with the most serious attitude.
Especially those little stars, they hope to complete the triple jump in their lives by changing jobs.
If there is no foreign capital to support them.
These little stars want to be the front line in the company.
From the initial, the supporting role with lines to the male number 3 or female number 3, it takes at least four or five movies to settle down.
And these 4 to 5 movies must have outstanding results.
Even if the box office of the movie itself is not high, the role played by the new actor must be deeply impressed by the audience.
He is obviously a newcomer who cannot call the name of the audience, but through very small roles, the audience can know that they are excellent and even their name.
No matter how you look at it, they are extremely harsh conditions.
But in the entertainment industry, this is indeed the most realistic way to become famous.
If the audience still has no impression of him in one or two movies.
The newcomer's acting career is likely to end here.
And those who have overcome all obstacles finally settled after 4 to 5 movies.
The company began to arrange some role performances for them with the number 3 male or female number 3.
The scenes become heavier, the lines become longer, and even more and more close-ups of photography in movies.
At this time, the company will naturally have a higher demand for these newcomers.
After all, when they arrange for performances of the male number 3 or female number 3, the rewards received by these little stars are far away from their once-spoken life.
After the income increases, it is reasonable for the company to have higher requirements.
At this moment, for these newcomers, they will face the accumulation of 5 to 8 movies.
Even during this period, there will be some TV series, where the characters of the second male or female roles help them grow quickly.
One day, after these newcomers have acted in more than a dozen movies, they will start to try the important task of No. 2 or No. 2 female lead.
When a newcomer came to this point, he had been eliminated behind him, and I don’t know how many former colleagues were.
There is never a shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry. Being beautiful is just the lowest requirement in this industry.
However, when these newcomers finally began to take on the box office appeal of a movie, they probably just discovered that their true celebrity career had just begun.
For many newcomers who have just made their debut, if the box office of one or two movies is not good, it will ruin his entire career.
Whether they were playing supporting roles or having sex with men's number 3, the company would not have strict box office requirements for them.
It's different until now. Once the box office is not ideal, the company will no longer waste a penny on them.
This is a very cruel industry, an extremely realistic industry.
Because of the cruelty, many celebrities have long lost their former dreams when they finally come to the end.
These people once wanted to create various roles, and they dreamed of becoming the best actor in the audience's mind.
Win numerous awards and glory.
It is the cruelty of reality that slowly wiped away their dreams and made them unable to see anything other than money.
However, just when they become one after another, they only pursue money.
Suddenly, it was discovered that the company had tricked them into signing an early renewal contract, and this contract was likely to cost them a lot of money.
Even in the more than ten years since I entered the industry, all my income is likely to be unable to afford even the liquidated damages.
At this time, a normal person would go crazy.
"These companies have no choice, but I can actually understand them very much.
Many celebrities have worked hard all their lives to run their business, and even have "company assets" cultivated in more than ten years.
But just because the other party has money, he can easily take away all this.
No one would be willing to do it.
When anything reaches the worst situation, the weakest side will struggle to death.
And this matter is not a simple business act.
Have you ever considered that movies are still a cultural industry?
If all our local film companies collapse, in the future, all the companies that make movies under the name of our Neon Country's culture and art will be foreign-funded.
So who can guarantee that the local culture they photographed is our Neon Kingdom? Instead of the product they deliberately distorted and edited?" After all, they are old seniors, fame and money are no longer so valued. It is natural for humans to have higher-level ideas at this time.
But he also understood that there was no way to worry about this.
In addition to non-modification of the law, foreign capital enters the cultural industries of its own country.
“Will this concern be too much?
If these foreign capitals tamper with our culture, movie fans would not accept it without the people above.
If something particularly outrageous happens, once newspapers and magazines report, movie fans will refuse to watch this movie again, and even the movies produced by this film company will not be accepted in the future. "The young junior thinks that this senior is really thinking too much.
Could it be that all the audiences who watch movies in Neon Country are fools?
Could it be that all the paparazzi, newspapers and magazines in Neon Country are fools?
"You are still too young!
It would be great if things were really as simple as you imagined.
The movies they tampered with may not be really released in our Neon Country Market.
Instead, it will be released in other places. How can foreign audiences tell whether these are true or false?
Once, twice, after a few times, the whole world will think that movies are real neon.
And once these movies have achieved high box office overseas, they even won many honors.
With the character of our citizens, they will accept this company bit by bit.
In the end, just like boiling a frog in warm water, we still can't keep our culture.
Think about it, since the Westerners landed, our Neon Country has changed a lot over the past hundred years.
Even Hollywood films are subtly affecting our younger generation." The old senior was very worried, but they could only be just a joke. After all, with his identity, status, and influence, no one would pay attention to what he was thinking.
When young people heard such words, they could be considered to have heard some.
After all, there is nothing wrong with this statement, and it is likely that it will really turn into this in the future.
At that time, under the double attack of Hollywood and Hong Kong City film industry, Neon Kingdom will lose its right to speak on the cultural level, at least at the expression level of film culture.
