If you act well, you will sing, if you sing well, you will act. This is what the Xiangjiang entertainment industry did in the 1980s and 1990s. It is similar to the current traffic monetization, but with a different routine.
There are a lot of newcomers in the entertainment industry, one after another, and the worst thing is traffic.
Nowadays, the entertainment industry has also begun to play this trick. Regardless of variety show stars, singers, comedians, sketch actors, and cross talk actors, they all want to be in a few boats. As long as there is traffic, they will head into the TV and movie circles.
The big guys in the music industry don't want to lose their reputation and are too embarrassed to enter the film industry for fear of being scolded, but young people like Yang Chaoyue don't care.
Previously, Yang Chaoyue debuted as a singer. Fang Jing gave her a few songs, and she started to become famous with these songs. The company bought a few songs for her to put together an album, and the sales were very good.
Originally Yang Ning wanted Yang Chaoyue to be a singer, but she didn't expect this girl to be a hit. She has a lot of talent in variety shows, is very capable of catching jokes, and is also open-minded. She is not as introverted as other girls who have just debuted.
The company tried to arrange several variety shows for her, but to no avail, Yang Chaoyue's performance was remarkable and she was on the hot search list one after another. Later variety shows for her came one after another.
Just like this, thanks to her appearance and personality, she has gained countless fans, and she has almost finished all domestic variety shows.
"My agent said that there are no good variety shows now. The audience will get tired of watching me sooner or later. I can't be a variety show star all my life. I'm thinking about developing a career as an actor to broaden the market."
Yang Chaoyue's words made Yang Zi, Ying Haoming and others feel ashamed. They all turned their heads and pretended not to hear.
It’s so heartbreaking. They have to wait in line to be on a variety show, even if it lasts for ten and a half months. Usually, they can only attend it once every three or four months.
This girl is good. She dislikes too many variety shows and is tired of them. She wants to try acting.
Sister, how about we switch?
I also want to try what it's like to try a variety show. One half-day period, one million dollars at a time! One season, tens of millions, the entire three or five seasons is more than an actor's income in ten years.
After taking a sip of water to soothe his throat, Fang Jing was a little speechless, "What kind of actor do you want to be? You haven't learned this aspect of acting. It's very hard. The salary you make in half a year is not as much as you make in a few variety shows."
Yang Chaoyue has never studied acting, so Fang Jing doesn't dare to let her go out and harm the crew. With her popularity and popularity, ordinary directors don't dare to offend her.
She can't be beaten, scolded, or criticized. If she is allowed to develop, the drama she will produce will probably not be much better.
"So, didn't I come to the actor training class?" Yang Chaoyue said with a smile, "When I have perfected my acting skills, I can start filming. You don't know how many scripts I have rejected in the past year or so."
"Dozens, that's all money!"
"Pfft!"
Invisibly, Yang Zi and others felt like they had been stabbed in the heart again, it hurt so much!
Is it human talk to reject dozens of scripts? Sister, don’t give me a few, we don’t meet a few here a year.
The scripts that can be found for Yang Chaoyue will definitely all have female protagonists. There are too few scripts on the market that cast aside the major film and television companies and use their own people without sectarian bias.
Yang Chaoyue is so lucky to have met so many people. This opportunity is so rare.
Zhang Mingen took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Yang Chaoyue and said with a smile, "Sister, I will hang out with you from now on. I will definitely take the role next time. Remember to take me with you."
"It doesn't matter if your acting skills are not good enough. I will train you and give you individual acting lessons. I will provide you with one-to-one tutoring. I will teach you and give you skills."
"Go away, don't lead others into trouble." Ying Haoming shouted, turned around and said to Yang Chaoyue with a playful smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense, how can he have so much time to teach you."
"I'm free, I'll come!"
"Brother Ming, you are not interesting enough. I was the one who cooperated first, first come, first served. Do you understand? Get in line!"
"Tch, sister Chaoyue didn't say anything, but you cooperated. Who agreed?" As soon as the words changed, Ying Haoming said with a sad face: I am older than you, time is running out, you still have a long future, let me do it
No."
Damn it! I don’t have any shame!
Zhang Mingen was convinced, dumbfounded, and opened his eyes towards Yang Zi.
Immediately understanding, Yang Zi also said: "And I, sister Chaoyue, please take me to a variety show next time you have the opportunity. I haven't been there a few times."
"The golden age of women is shorter than that of men. After they are thirty, they have no commercial value. I am already in my twenties now. I am only a few years away from thirty, and I will soon be out of date."
Being praised one after another by these three people, Yang Chaoyue was a little overwhelmed and said innocently: "I, I will try to ask, but I don't know if they want you."
Fang Jing held his head and said, "You three, please don't sing in unison. Don't think that I don't know what you are planning."
"You can really create trouble for me. Yang Chaoyue hasn't solved it yet, so the three of you come together."
These three people didn't think there was no variety show, they thought there were too few shows, so they came over one after another to complain, especially when they just heard Xiao Zan complaining outside and put on a show and a variety show.
Crying children have milk to drink. This time they will take over even if they cry to death in the office.
"President Fang, you have to be reasonable when you speak." Zhang Mingen complained, "The first play I did when I first joined the company was arranged by you. The subsequent plays were all found by me myself, or others took the initiative to find me."
"Except for the company's help in publicity and endorsements, you can say that I have been self-reliant in these years."
"I have given many opportunities to the younger generations of the company, allowing them to thrive, and indirectly saving the company a lot of effort. There is hard work without credit."
"But I can't let the company ignore me if I have some resources. We are all one company. My contribution is no less than others, so I can't favor one over the other."
As soon as Zhang Mingen finished speaking, Ying Haoming continued: "Mr. Fang, it stands to reason that I have just played a full-time master, so I shouldn't speak at this time, but you have to strike while the iron is hot. Actors my age are no better than young people, you know."
"It's rare to get popular. If you don't hurry up and work, when the heat subsides, it will be even harder to think about it again."
Yang Zi said weakly: Mr. Fang, you promised me that the heroine..."
"Stop, stop it!" Fang Jing was very worried. Why were all these people staring at him all of a sudden? He shouldn't have stayed in the hall just now, and he shouldn't have called them over.
"You should talk to your agent about these matters. The agent should communicate with the senior management or Yang Ning. It's useless to tell me."
"It works!!!" the four of them said in unison.
Yang Chaoyue said: "Mr. Ning said that she doesn't understand these things very well, so she can just wait until you come to see you."
"Looking for me?" Fang Jing's eyes widened, "I haven't been to the company a few times in the past six months, and I don't even know the man at the door, so what's the use of looking for me?"
"I don't know. Anyway, Ning always says this. From now on, you will be responsible for the company's actors and he will take care of the logistics."
Ying Haoming and others nodded in agreement, that's what the manager told them anyway.
"You guys wait a minute." Fang Jing scratched his head, took the elevator upstairs after going out, and walked towards Yang Ning's office.
The two had a brief meeting. An hour later, Jing entered sage mode and came out. He only remembered it when he entered the elevator.
"What did I come here to do?"
…
"Ahem!"
After entering the door, Zhang Mingen was not there. Fang Jing sat down and saw Ying Haoming and others looking at him. Fang Jing was embarrassed and said, "What, I'm tired after waiting for so long. Let's drink some water."
"Hiccup! You're full." Yang Chaoyue burped. If you don't come back, we will finish the bucket of water."
"Where did Zhang Mingen go?"
"I drank too much water and went to the toilet." Ying Haoming took out a pack of snacks from somewhere and sat on the sofa to eat, "Mr. Fang, how was the conversation?"
"Almost done!" Fang Jing just went back to talk to Yang Ning to talk about the matter. She really gave him part of the company's affairs, saying that he had a good vision and a strong sense of the overall situation, and it was a waste of talent to act every day.
Yang Ning admires Fang Jing from the bottom of her heart, from collecting copyrights a few years ago to investing in Big Fish and Begonia, The Return of the Great Sage, Detective Chinatown, Wolf Warrior 2, and In the Name of the People.
Along the way, Fang Jing has never been blinded. Every decision he makes is to make money.
The money earned from investing in these movies and TV series alone is countless times more than Fang Jing's salary over the years. It is true to say that he wasted his talent as an actor.
"Let's talk about Yang Chaoyue first." Fang Jing straightened his body and said seriously: "Don't go to the actor training class. Find a few teachers to give you guidance. You can learn acting experience and attend variety shows at the same time. Don't delay either side."
"Besides, you are debuting as a singer. Don't give up on this aspect. You need to clearly distinguish the primary and secondary roles. Actors are secondary. After a while, I will be free to make some songs for you. I will release an album in the second half of the year to increase your popularity."
"Hee hee, thank you, Teacher Fang." Yang Chaoyue was immediately happy and happy to be able to get Fang Jing's song again.
This guy hasn't written a song for a long time. A few days ago, Xu Jie sold a song worth tens of millions, which is scary.
In other words, she was one of her own, and Fang Jing wrote songs for free, and it felt like he had made tens of millions overnight.
After making arrangements for Yang Chaoyue, Fang Jing looked at Yang Zi and said, "Preparations for your drama will begin in autumn and will be launched at the end of the year. Before that, let me watch a variety show."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang. Actually, there's no rush." Yang Zile said happily, "The main thing is not to delay your work."
A variety show and a drama, and sure enough, the crying child has milk to drink. Before, I was stupidly considerate of the company, thinking that Fang Jing was very busy.
Now she understands what her agent often says, if you are thin-skinned, you will not be able to eat, but if you are thick-skinned, you will eat enough.
"As for you, Lao Zhang, you are really not suitable for variety shows at your age, and I guess you can't let it go. I just asked if the company has several cooperative dramas, all with anti-Japanese themes. You can try to pick one."
Despite the investor's pledge, Fang Jing is actually not very optimistic about anti-Japanese dramas, as there have been very few high-quality dramas of this kind in recent years.
But it’s not bad to be a step up for Ying Haoming. After all, he is the first male.
"During the filming period, I will arrange another drama for you, White Night Chasing the Murderer, and Xiao Weiwei. Next year your net worth should rise to a higher level."
Because of Ying Haoming's age, he is destined not to be a popular young actor. Next year, we will arrange a few variety shows for him, and he will appear in major film and television crews again and again. After a few years, he will be considered a capable actor. We will see whether he can succeed in his career.
But even if he doesn't become famous, a talented actor like him will not miss out on dramas in the future.
