?Chapter 8 My Neighbor is a Big Star
Walking out of the door, Xia Qiuxue breathed a sigh of relief, standing in the corridor, feeling a little disappointed, "He is not my fan. Am I forgotten?"
Celebrities are most afraid of being forgotten.
"Those bad movies have very high pay, but they ruin your influence... Even a top-notch star doesn't have much feelings to consume." Sister Dong said quietly, complaining to her old boss.
In the world of capital, money is the first priority.
As long as you can make money, the company doesn't mind shooting a lot of bad movies.
It just made the stars suffer.
Fans and audiences relied on their feelings to spend money, but they watched a bad movie.
Such bad movies will still make the company make a lot of money.
But the influence of celebrities is declining.
If you have several bad movies in a row, first-tier stars will also fall into second-tier stars.
"Everything is over, there will be a new beginning." Xia Qiuxue said firmly.
...
Sitting at the computer desk, Lin Le turned on the computer and searched for information about Xia Qiuxue.
My neighbor is a big star, but unfortunately I never knew it.
I met several times on the road, but I just nodded my head, didn’t have too deep communication, and didn’t even say a word.
If I hadn't been to the visit today, I might not have known her identity.
"Xia Qiuxue, the identity of a first-line star, is a bit watery."
Lin Le searched for some information.
Among the sky-high pay, Xia Qiuxue was affected, but she was much inferior to the boss who invested 300 million yuan and took away 200 million yuan.
"Somewhat deep, some dark."
I looked at the contract carefully, and looked at it again and again, but I couldn’t find the so-called lightning point, but I still called and asked my friends to transmit the contents of the contract.
My friend in charge of the law checked it again and again and said some questions.
"The contract is fine, but there are many celebrity studios in succession recently, and they have been cancelled one after another... it may not be long-term."
"Thank you."
"The industry is in a downturn and the cold winter season is coming. Be prepared to endure hardships and be prepared to lose work at any time."
"Understood."
Lin Le nodded.
I opened my phone and sent a text message.
The next day, Xia Qiuxue, Sister Dong, and a legal counsel came to the door.
A contract was signed for a three-year period.
"Let's go."
"good."
When we arrived downstairs, we walked up the red Wrangler and set off. About half an hour later, we arrived at the studio location.
After getting on the elevator, I arrived at the fifth floor, and there was a "Qiuxue Studio" hanging at the door.
Entering the studio, a photographer, an actor, a legal counsel, a screenwriter, and an errand runner, just five people.
It's just a small workshop that may go bankrupt at any time.
The studio can reasonably avoid taxes. Reasonable avoidance of taxes is not tax refunds or tax evasion, and they must bear unlimited liability at the cost.
The regular meeting is being held.
Everyone stood in a row, and Xia Qiuxue stood in front.
"Qiuxue Studio has been opened. As a sole proprietorship, I don't have the confidence to hold on to how long the studio can last. Establishing a studio is destined to be the target of suppression by large companies. It is also restricted in various resources and channels, and faces many difficulties. The only thing that is lucky is that the entertainment market often sinks this year."
"Big companies are suffering serious losses and are facing large-scale layoffs or salary cuts. They need to increase revenue and reduce expenditures and survive, which has greatly reduced some of our studios... This is our opportunity. My plan is to maintain the loss at 10 million in the first year; maintain the balance of income and expenditure in the second year, and start turning losses into profits in the third year."
"Next, everyone will introduce themselves."
Xia Qiuxue retreated aside.
Someone is introducing the introduction one after another.
Xia Qiuxue, a former first-line star, plays the role of the No. 1 sister in the studio.
Dong Xue, agent, legal counsel, and finance department are responsible for handling various debris.
Wei Changzheng, a new generation director, is usually responsible for the management of official Weibo and official WeChat.
Lin Le, a screenwriter, is usually responsible for cleaning.
Li Qing, photography, is responsible for the soundtrack, and carries props.
Zheng Long, a stylist, driver, is responsible for cleaning and contacting.
Wang Yong, a makeup artist, is responsible for renting props.
Of course, people will be recruited one after another, but the small workshop has been formed.
"The studio is not the end, but the beginning. I hope that in five years, the studio will become Qiuxue Entertainment Company, everyone will encourage you." Xia Qiuxue said with great enthusiasm.
Everyone shouted in unison.
Lin Le was speechless and forced to hold back his smile.
It would be great if you could survive.
Large ships resist risks, small ships resist wind and waves.
Small workshops like them may go bankrupt tomorrow.
...
Work has begun.
I took out the notebook, held the pen, and started writing the script, but it was still "Snail House".
I feel that this boss seems to attach great importance to him, and maybe he can fool the boss to contribute money and work to film the TV series.
Each episode is about 10,000 words. After writing ten episodes, I modified some typos, sorted it out roughly, and knocked on the door with my book with a nervous look.
"Please come in."
Lin Le entered it and said, "Hello, boss. This is the script of the TV series "Snail House". Why do you think this is the case?"
After taking the script, Xia Qiuxue looked through it, looking at it ten lines. After only five minutes, she threw it aside.
"The TV series market has been in a downturn recently, and many TV series have failed. If this TV series is filmed, it may lose money." Xia Qiuxue said.
"You have to try it."
Lin Le said: "This studio serves you and is to avoid taxes better, but all this should not be a cage or a constraint, there should be a broader world. I estimated that the shooting cost is five main actors and other supporting actors. As for props and scene arrangements, it doesn't cost much. On average, each episode is about 100,000, and 35 episodes are 3.5 million."
"As for actors, there is no need for big-name actors, no traffic stars, or young actors. After all, this is an urban life drama, not an urban idol drama, it tells the story of trivial things in life and difficult things to buy a house. In terms of actors' pay, the male lead's pay is 100,000 yuan, the female lead's pay is 80,000 yuan, the second-ranked female lead's pay is 80,000 yuan, and there are various supporting actors, extras, etc., 500,000 yuan is enough."
"If the budget is overspending, it will be up to 500,000 yuan."
