Chapter 247: The box office is big, and people's hearts are not ancient
Sure enough, Huangtian paid off and Xiao Wenjing was secretly happy.
Fang Jing asked her to choose one of the two, Zhang Mingen or Ying Haoming, which seemed to be taking care of her, but in fact she was in a dilemma.
Anyone with long eyes can see that Zhang Mingen is better.
But she couldn't really choose Zhang Mingen. The boss said that the two people were treated the same. She definitely couldn't choose easy things and leave the difficulties to her new colleagues.
So she had no choice but to choose Ying Haoming. Unexpectedly, in a twist of events, she actually ended up at Fang Jing Studio.
She has many acquaintances there, and Yang Ning usually takes care of her. Fang Jing, a big fish, can easily feed Ying Haoming if he lets out the soup.
"Mr. Fang, I'm going out to print the contract first. Bye."
"yeah!"
Xiao Wenjing waved her fist and when she saw her colleagues looking at her strangely, she coughed lightly and walked towards Ying Haoming with a straight face.
There will never be an equal status between the manager and the artist. Either he listens to you or you listen to him. The difference in the middle is whether you are popular or not. There is no third way.
This was what Yang Ning taught her on her first day at work.
She now represents the company, and Ying Haoming is an employee. Strictly speaking, she is his leader, so she must have the dignity she deserves.
"Hello, Ying Haoming, my name is Xiao Wenjing. If nothing else, I am your new agent. Move over here and let's talk about the contract."
"OK!"
Seeing that this agent had a frosty face and seemed a bit difficult to get along with, Ying Haoming was slightly nervous.
When she came to her office area, Xiao Wenjing turned on her computer and copied a copy of the contract she had written with Zhang Mingen.
Seeing Ying Haoming standing, Xiao Wenjing said: "Sit down wherever you want, I'll be ready soon."
Looking around, Ying Haoming felt embarrassed. There seemed to be no seats. Where could he sit? Seeing that the desk next to him was empty and the chair was empty, he pulled him over and sat quietly.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, neither of them spoke, and the copier suddenly discharged paper to break the situation.
Xiao Wenjing sighed, no wonder this person is not popular yet and can't speak at all! If Fang Jing was half as slick as Fang Jing, he probably wouldn't be in this situation.
She has seen many people like Ying Haoming in the entertainment industry. They focus on scripts and don't participate in variety shows. Even if they participate, they can't say a few words. As time goes by, no one invites them.
Alas! I’m so stressed out!
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Wenjing. I used to be Chen Haibo's assistant, and later Fang Jing's assistant and publicity assistant. I have been in the industry for four years."
It turns out that he is still an expert, not a novice! He has worked as an assistant to two first-line artists and made a lot of money. Ying Haoming smiled and said: Nice to meet you! "
Xiao Wenjing...
Will you die if you say more words?
"Ahem! You have a bad personality. You talk too little. You need to change it in the future."
"oh!"
Xiao Wenjing held her forehead and was speechless. She handed the contract to him, "This is your contract, just like Zhang Mingen. Take it and have a look. If there is no problem, sign it. Give it to me the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Seeing that he directly turned to the last page of the breach of contract regulations, Xiao Wenjing continued: "Don't read, there is no breach of contract regulations, just two years. If you become popular in two years, it will naturally become a formula contract and first-line treatment."
"Now, it's almost the same as the probation period!"
Ignoring Xiao Wenjing, Ying Haoming looked through the front page and found that Nanjing's confidence was not as great as there was no liquidated damages.
After the probation period is over after two years, if he performs well, the contract will be upgraded. The more he earns every year, the less he will give to the company. Moreover, he can take on any roles outside, and the company does not limit his freedom and does not take commissions.
After reading it several times and confirming that the contract was correct, Ying Haoming felt like he was in a dream. If Fang Jing hadn't been the boss of the company, he would have suspected that this was a scam company. How could such a good thing happen?
Seeing his uncertain expression, Xiao Wenjing continued: "I don't know why your contract changed like this, but it wasn't like this before."
"The company originally gave you an ordinary one-year contract, seven years, with one supporting role per year. But it changed just after Fang Jing came back. It should be his reason."
Fang Jing? Thinking back to that young face more than ten minutes ago, Ying Hao was stunned. They had never seen him before. Why did Fang Jing take care of him so much?
"Not only that, you will be named in Fangjing Studio in the future, and they will occasionally give you some film and television resources."
With a serious face, Xiao Wenjing said cautiously: "Don't be too happy too early. It seems that there are many opportunities, but if you fail to perform well again and again, I'm afraid you will have to terminate the contract if you don't use it for two years."
No company will continue to praise one person, unless it is run by your own family. If you have two or more movies and TV series that hit the market, you will be on the bench.
"I know, I will work hard." Ying Haoming nodded.
"I haven't found the assistant I'm looking for for you yet. I guess you won't need it. You two will join the cast next month and have a good time filming. I'll see if I can help you with some advertising or something."
Ying Haoming's face and personality are destined to have no chance of being an idol, only filming.
Xiao Wenjing, Fang Jing's crew member, definitely didn't dare to let him take part in the film, so she could only wait until the filming was completed before taking over the film.
However, for the sake of salary, it is still possible to occasionally do commercial performances to earn extra money.
More than twenty minutes later, Ying Haoming and Zhang Mingen went downstairs together, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Ying, how's it going?"
"It's okay, how about you?"
"My agent said that after I finish filming, I will find Hunan Satellite TV to give me a role, and I will also receive endorsements. I will have one drama a year, every year, and I will play the leading role in two years."
After all, he was still just starting out, and Zhang Mingen had been excited for a long time. When he met a new colleague, he immediately confided his feelings, feeling quite proud.
Shaking his head calmly, Ying Haoming smiled and congratulated.
The company is not a charity. In the final analysis, it is still focused on performance, so a novice like Zhang Mingen will believe in the pie painted by the agent.
He had heard this kind of thing a lot when he first debuted ten years ago, but what is the reality? If you can't help him, he will let you go in the second year.
In comparison, he still prefers Xiao Wenjing's way of getting along, let's talk about it.
…
On December 20th, Xiuchundao was released. Director Lu Yang originally planned to release it on New Year's Day, but when he saw that there were too many big names, he was immediately discouraged.
Fang Jing's measly words were publicized a week in advance, but he, who originally didn't like to make meager remarks, ended up doing so himself.
It's a pity that the crew didn't have enough publicity funds. Several major movie stars left Yanjing and Magic City and stopped promoting it, and they didn't even appear in variety shows.
Some fans went to the cinema to buy tickets based on Fang Jing's name. After more than an hour, they were disappointed to see less than five minutes of footage of him.
It was originally seven or eight minutes long, but the director felt it was uncoordinated and cut it later.
The box office on the first day was 8.5 million, and the film schedule rate was 18%. It was so overwhelming that Lu Yang almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and he tossed and turned in the middle of the night unable to sleep.
The same goes for the two great movie stars Zhang Zheng and Wang Qianyuan. They scratched their heads and couldn't figure out why they jumped. Their acting skills were fine, the script was carefully polished, and the director was professional enough, so they shouldn't have jumped.
Is it because young people nowadays don’t like fighting and killing? They only like to watch bloody love dramas?
Although the box office was not good, word-of-mouth reviews were surprisingly good. Film critics all said it was good, and the box office slowly picked up on the third and fourth days.
Even though it received rave reviews, not many viewers bought into it. A week later, the box office reached 50 million. New Year's Day came and several blockbusters were released, and the theater filming rate dropped to 12%.
Professionals estimate that the final box office of Xiuchundao should be around 95 million.
The director has a frown on his face and sighs every day. He really can’t figure it out!! In his childhood, movies like that cost hundreds of millions, but this one only has tens of millions!!
"People's hearts are not as old as they used to be! Audiences don't know how to appreciate good movies!"
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yang came to this conclusion.
