The daily work of Jack Kyle and Feng Lina is to carry out in-depth development of the project while ensuring the normal use of the project by Youlian.
The two of them have good connections in Europe and Southeast Asia respectively, so there is still a lot of potential for them to work together to develop this business.
Two months ago, when Sun Dahai passed by Xiangjiang, he discovered that Louis Koo was among the trainees of Youlian, so he contacted Lansili Clothing Company and gave the young Louis Koo a long-term endorsement contract.
To say it was an endorsement is actually a bit exaggerated. At this time, Louis Koo was still less than 20 years old, had not officially made his debut, and had almost no reputation. He was definitely not worthy of Lan Sili, who had already gone public through a backdoor.
However, Lan Sili recognized Sun Dahai's suggestion, and Louis Koo's personal image was also very good, so she signed a five-year contract with Louis Koo with increasing remuneration.
As we all know, the market value of an artist is not necessarily how high the salary or performance fee is, but is reflected in the amount of advertising or endorsement contracts.
This is why many big-name actors who have been famous for a long time often take on low-cost artistic films at a discount or even for free, instead of taking on high-paying commercial films.
Because in a sense, literary and artistic films can enhance their quality, especially those that can create a small-scale sensational impact.
What's more, this type of film has the possibility of winning awards overseas. For artists, if they can hold the title of best actor or best actress in international A-level film festivals, they can have one or two more box office hits in their own name.
The movie is much better.
Louis Koo accepted this generous gift from the sky like a bewilderment, and what followed was a lot of publicity tasks.
Shooting commercials, shooting graphic modeling, attending new clothing launches, making announcements on TV, etc. Suddenly Louis Koo was very busy.
People who don't know, think he is a new star who suddenly became famous. Who would have thought that he is just a newbie in the film industry with few lines.
Sun Dahai just had an acquaintance with Louis Koo in his previous life, and decided to give Louis Koo a certain amount of help out of recognition and support for Louis Koo's character, acting skills and reputation.
Moreover, Sun Dahai knew that Louis Koo's current economic conditions were not optimistic, so he suggested that Lan Sili put aside her prejudice against newcomers and directly give Louis Koo a contract.
After giving Louis Koo a contract, Sun Dahai felt a little regretful. He was worried that this would affect Louis Koo's mentality and future development.
But now it seems that although his support is slightly stronger, Louis Koo has not raised his tail because of this, and his performance is still satisfactory to Sun Dahai.
In addition to completing the new publicity work every day, Louis Koo will still seize the time to come to the company to receive various trainings, and go to the crew or TV columns arranged by the company to study and do odd jobs. His attitude has not changed much from before.
However, Youlian's trainee Louis Koo suddenly increased his exposure, which confused many film and television companies who were paying attention to Youlian's development.
Although Youlian has not been established for a long time, and there are very few independently produced and invested films, no film and television company will ignore the influence of Youlian.
This is the status that Youlian has built up in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong through its own successful works. For several consecutive years, several of the top ten blockbuster films in Hong Kong have been produced by Youlian.
Especially in overseas sales, Youlian is unparalleled. Whether in Southeast Asia, Europe or North America, the income of projects produced by Youlian is superior to that of various film and television companies in Hong Kong.
What's more, Youlian also used the film "Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors" to create a new way of co-producing films between Hong Kong and mainland China, making full use of Hong Kong's film production technology and concepts and the mainland's rich filming resources, which can be used by the industry
People’s reference and reference.
Therefore, many people in the industry are saying that Youlian is like the New Art City in the early 1980s, supporting a small half of the Hong Kong film industry with its own works.
Of course, back then, New Art City relied on a group of talented filmmakers, while Youlian relied on Sun Dahai's shameless cheating.
Even popular movies like "A Better Tomorrow", "God of Gamblers" and "Autumn Fairy Tale" were snatched away by Sun Dahai in advance. Even if Youlian wants to lose money, it may not be easy.
What is the most difficult thing in the film industry? It is the selection of projects. Any film company will have a large number of scripts in its hands, but it is difficult to predict what it will look like and whether it will be a hit or not.
Movies are a regrettable art. Even a good script, a combination of a well-known director and a big star may not necessarily guarantee a box office.
Therefore, when many film companies set up a project, they would rather lose part of their future income than bring in some film companies or investors to share the risks. The larger the production, the more so.
I think it was for this reason that Youlian was able to successfully participate in the investment in several movies such as "The Eight Star Announcement" in New Art City.
Youlian's judgment on projects is extremely accurate. Almost all of the projects it independently shoots and participates in investment fail, and most of them make huge profits. This is already very famous in the industry.
It’s just that Youlian’s projects, like the artists they sign, are all about quality, with only a few projects produced every year. Therefore, it’s not surprising that many film and television companies are paying attention to Youlian’s trends.
Louis Koo was not well-known among the audience at this time, but he was already well-known in the industry. He also received more film offers from other companies.
Although the roles in these film appointments are supporting roles without much role, they are still very helpful for Louis Koo to hone his acting skills and cultivate his popularity.
Louis Koo's inexplicable rise in popularity also made Youlian's senior management more convinced that training their own trainees is also an aspect of the company's development. Therefore, the company decided to increase investment in this aspect.
Feng Lina is now considered a partner of Youlian. After she heard about the company's plan, she proposed to Sister Fen to expand the scope of recruiting trainees from Hong Kong to Southeast Asia, and used her connections in Southeast Asia to help Sister Fen prepare in advance
Contacted.
Sister Fen also has some connections in Southeast Asia, but compared to the local leader Feng family, they are naturally much inferior. Especially since the Feng family is mainly engaged in the media industry and has its own TV station, Sister Fen has gained quite a lot from this trip to Southeast Asia.
She selected three young girls and brought them back to Xiangjiang to prepare for signing contracts. This could also change the situation where the company's artists were prosperous and negative.
However, two of the girls are still in college and will have to go back to school to continue their studies after signing the contract. They can only use their vacation time to receive training from the company.
Sun Dahai thought about it and suggested organizing a signing ceremony tomorrow so that they could sign the contract with Catherine. Sun Dahai could satisfy Catherine's request without appearing so abrupt.
