"Ghost Blowing the Lamp is finally coming to an end.
During this period, basically everyone is interested in this drama.
Some other dramas of the same period are simply no match.
Naturally, the biggest profits from the show's popularity are due to its leading actors.
For example, Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan are actually okay. After all, they were already quite popular before this drama.
He is also famous among the first-line actors.
The dividends brought by the Immortal Sword have not disappeared now.
Therefore, after "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" became popular, although the popularity of the two people has increased a lot, it is actually limited.
At most, it can only be used to make up for the lack of exposure due to not participating in variety shows.
In fact, the one who benefited the most was Qi Zhifeng, who played the role of Wang Kaixuan and Wang Fatty in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
He is not an actor under Tongji Entertainment, and although he had no worries about acting before, his popularity was very low.
Even among the second-tier actors, they are the kind that ordinary netizens look familiar to but can't remember their names at all.
After the broadcast of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City", Qi Zhifeng became completely popular.
In it, Fatty Wang talks about loyalty and has a funny and responsible character, which is indeed quite likable.
Among the Golden Triangle, Shirley Yang was scolded more times than Fatty Wang.
Although he can only be regarded as a supporting actor, he is still a decent second male lead, and his role is not much worse than that of the male lead Ran Bai.
Before the show "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City" was aired, Qi Zhifeng only had a few hundred thousand WeChat fans, not even one million.
But in just one month, it has already increased to more than three million.
It can be seen how exaggerated the heat of ghost blowing lanterns is.
As for Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan, their number of fans has already exceeded 30 million, so they don’t care much about it.
Both of their accounts were handed over to their agents to help run them, but it was because of laziness, not because Tongji Entertainment would restrict them from posting on Weibo.
Therefore, during this period, apart from normal publicity, Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan did not show much excitement.
Qi Zhifeng, who plays Fatty Wang, works intensively on Weibo every day.
I am afraid that I will miss this opportunity to become popular.
"Zhifeng, I have good news for you. The company plans to raise your contract level to the highest level!"
"That's a condition that only a few first-line actors can obtain."
"You have to cherish it!"
The company that Qi Zhifeng belongs to is actually not very large, as can be seen from the fact that there are only a few first-line artists in the entire company.
Of course, it can’t be said to be a small workshop, it’s generally quite formal.
Qi Zhifeng naturally knew very well why the leaders of the company suddenly expressed great concern for him during this period.
In the past, he, a second-tier artist, was actually just a transparent person with no sense of presence in the company.
Most of his resources actually have to be obtained by himself and his agent.
What the company gave him was enough to feed him, but it was not that rare at all.
However, this situation is actually understandable. After all, he is a fat man himself, although he does not lack some supporting roles.
But if you want to get a really good role and become completely popular, the hope is really slim.
He used to think that he would probably end up as a second-tier actor in his life.
Who would have thought that with the idea of giving it a try, he attended the audition for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and actually passed it.
At that time, he didn't know what the show was about, but it didn't stop him from knowing that the show was invested by Xu Ji's company, and the script was written by Xu Ji himself.
It can be seen from the fierce competition in the audition that he is indeed lucky.
Sure enough, far beyond his previous imagination, the drama "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" became a hit.
He also became popular. In just one month, the character Wang Kaixuan he played was on the trending search countless times.
This also led to the company suddenly becoming concerned about him.
Even the big boss of the company met him several times.
In fact, Qi Zhifeng was a little lucky. Fortunately, he didn't tell his company and agent that "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" will probably be filmed in more than one movie.
Otherwise, the company will probably be more enthusiastic.
"I have to think about it a little bit."
Qi Zhifeng said calmly.
Qi Zhifeng actually doesn't have much feelings for his own manager.
It's just because of the company's arrangement.
It didn't bring him much help. Most of the time, in the final analysis, he still spent his own efforts to find opportunities for some roles.
The agent took his money, but didn't do much.
This is something Qi Zhifeng is very dissatisfied with.
Of course, he is not a fool. Of course, it is impossible to say such things directly.
"Zhifeng, what are you worried about?"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"You know, the contract given by the company is very sincere."
Qi Zhifeng listened to his manager's endless words, but in fact his heart was not shaken at all.
If it had been before, he would have agreed without hesitation.
Just sign a new contract.
But now, Qi Zhifeng knows very well that the company just wants to see him become popular. In addition, the penalty for the contract he signed before was not high, so he wants to sign a new one.
As treatment resources become better, you will naturally need to bear higher liquidated damages.
It sounds like it's actually a matter of weighing it yourself, but in the final analysis, the company is still a bit small.
Basically, the biggest resources are given to a few fixed first-line artists, and others can only have a chance to drink.
Qi Zhifeng had actually been waiting for the news a long time ago.
Before getting a clear answer, it is naturally impossible for him to renew his contract with the original company.
Even if the other party comes up with a bunch of good conditions to induce you.
……
"Zhifeng, are you listening to me?"
The manager suddenly called him several times before Qi Zhifeng reacted.
"Well, I'm listening, you say."
Seeing this, the agent seemed to have guessed something.
He sighed helplessly.
In fact, she wanted to open her mouth and follow Qi Zhifeng, after all, he finally became angry.
If the contract is not renewed in the future, she will probably have to start from scratch with new people.
But thinking about how little she could do to help Qi Zhifeng before, the other party was very polite on the surface, but in his heart he must have been harboring grudges for a long time.
Even if she takes the initiative to speak, it is unlikely that Qi Zhifeng will continue to let him be her agent.
"By the way, today seems to be the finale of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back and watch the drama first."
After Qi Zhifeng finished speaking, he wanted to get up and leave directly.
"Zhifeng, actually you should think about it carefully."
"The conditions provided by the company are really good."
"If you go to other places, it is unlikely that you will continue to get such resources."
"And you became popular because of Tongji Entertainment's drama. The three major entertainment companies now have a tense relationship with Xuji Company."
"I may not be willing to accept you."
Qi Zhifeng knew that what his agent said was true.
Just nodded.
"Thanks for the reminder."
If Qi Zhifeng was full of complaints and resentment towards her as an agent, she wouldn't think anything of it.
But it was the other party's attitude of treating her as a stranger that he couldn't quite understand.
"Qi Zhifeng, what's your attitude?"
"I've been with you for so many years, and there's hard work without credit, right?"
"Now that I'm so angry, I want to throw me away in the blink of an eye."
Originally, Qi Zhifeng had already reached the door, but when he heard the other party's words, he stopped in his tracks.
"Credit?"
"What do you mean?"
Qi Zhifeng is not afraid of breaking up with the other party.
It’s just that it’s troublesome.
It is better to think about one less thing than to think more about it.
Now that I see him being so messy, I am not used to it anymore.
"Haha, don't think I don't know what you are thinking."
"Don't you just hope to go to Tongji Entertainment?"
"Do you really think that just because you acted in a drama produced by Xu Ji Company, they will be willing to hire you?"
"If you can join Tongji Entertainment, I will kowtow to you on the spot."
Qi Zhifeng frowned.
He is indeed planning to go to Tongji Entertainment.
Of course, as the agent said, he also knows very well how difficult it is to get into Tongji Entertainment.
Even the default of the three major entertainments is even more exaggerated.
At this moment, Qi Zhifeng's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, Brother Bai."
It was Ran Bai who called. Qi Zhifeng didn't bother to hide anything. He knew how important this call was to him.
Seeing Qi Zhifeng answer the phone, the sarcastic expression on the manager's face did not change.
Because he didn't trust him as an agent, Qi Zhifeng often dealt with the crew or directors and producers by himself.
Regarding this point, she didn't think anything of it before, and she was even secretly happy because it saved her a lot of trouble.
But now, I suddenly feel unhappy in my heart.
"Okay, I understand."
After Qi Zhifeng listened to what Ran Bai said on the phone for a while, he turned on the phone in his hand.
"Brother Bai, can you say what you just said again?"
Ran Bai's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What did you say?"
"Director Xu has already agreed that Sister Man will come to Chengdu in the next few days and we will discuss it in detail then."
"It's about your original company's contract. I don't understand it, but there should be no problem."
"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."
"I'll treat you to dinner then."
Qi Zhifeng said, not too politely. During the time when he and Ran Bai were filming, their personalities were quite compatible, and now they are considered good friends.
But at this time, Qi Zhifeng was excited inside, but his expression didn't change much.
Instead, he hung up the phone indifferently, and then looked at his former manager in front of him.
Qi Zhifeng's manager naturally recognized Ran Bai's voice across from him.
She was quick to speak, so she said what she just said.
Who would have thought that after she finished speaking, Qi Zhifeng seemed to be able to join Tongji Entertainment.
"I'll leave if you don't kowtow."
"If you are not ready yet, I can wait for you for a while."
Qi Zhifeng felt extremely comfortable at this moment.
The main reason is that his agent has made him unhappy for a long time.
But due to company reasons, there is no way to change it.
You can only let the other party suck your blood, and take a commission from his salary and various advertising fees every time.
Now, I can finally get rid of the other party completely.
And before leaving, something like this happened unexpectedly.
Looking at the woman's face, which was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, Qi Zhifeng had an idea at this time.
Of course kowtow is impossible, and Qi Zhifeng has no real intention to ask the other party to kowtow to him.
I just hope that he will not forget this matter. It is best that he can remember it for a long time.
At the same time, in Rongcheng, Youman and Xu Ji had just finished talking on the phone. Apparently, they both agreed on the news of signing Qi Zhifeng.
Especially when Xu Ji mentioned that the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series would probably be shot in many parts, which would be more than the Fairy Sword series anyway, Youman knew that the most cost-effective deal would be to sign Qi Zhifeng.
After all, the protagonist group of the Iron Triangle has the most roles and the most popularity in the entire drama.
Needless to say, among them Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan are originally from Tongji Entertainment, so they are not afraid of any praise, and they are not worried about the roles being replaced by actors.
Only Qi Zhifeng, who plays Fatty Wang, is the only person who does not belong to Tongji Entertainment.
Youman thinks it is very uneconomical to use such a popular person to praise someone from another company.
Of course, Xu Ji is worried that Qi Zhifeng will no longer participate in the Ghost Blowing Lantern series due to company or other reasons.
He knows very well how much impact a series of film and television dramas will have on the reputation and perception of the entire drama if the actors are changed midway.
In particular, the story of the entire series of Ghost Blowing Deng is actually coherent and highly related. It is not like the story of Fairy Sword, which is just connected, but it is an independent new story in itself.
So after Ran Bai told him that Qi Zhifeng had the idea of signing a contract with Tongji Entertainment, Xu Ji directly agreed.
"Sister Man, should I be fine?"
Not long after You Man put down his phone, Sha Yetong knocked on the door and came in.
During this time, she has been responsible for the audition of program guests, or the matter of signing new singers.
Xi Yiyi came to Chengdu a few days ago, waiting for her contract to expire at the end of the month, and then signed a contract with Tongji Entertainment.
And Sha Yetong finally completed the work given by Youman and could finally have his own time.
In fact, Sha Yetong was interested in more than just Xi Yiyi, but she was afraid that with too many people signing up, Xu Ji would be even busier helping with songwriting and production, so in the end, she only settled on Xi Yiyi.
"It's okay, but I have a party invitation recently."
Before Youman finished speaking, Sha Yetong quickly refused.
"Dah!"
"Sister Man, I won't go."
Sha Yetong has already thought about it. After the audition is over, he will leave to visit Xu Ji's class abroad.
Seeing Sha Yetong's resolute attitude, Youman could only sigh helplessly.
Tongji Entertainment’s artists are so easily rejecting those announcements and arrangements, and it’s obviously the two bosses who are taking the lead.
