Xiao Qian showed off his carriage and horses, but a group of big men hesitated.
You look at me, I look at you, all waiting for others to speak first.
"Why, are you here today just to make friends with Xiao?"
Xiao Qian made a sarcastic remark, which made the group of people look confused.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll do it first."
After all, someone can't sit still.
Among this group of people, Xiang Keyuan has the least confidence and cannot afford to wait.
"Mr. Xiao, our Jinyi is an actor agent. We don't have many other things, but we have many actors. I'm not bragging to Xiang Keyuan. Compared with the number of actors, our Jinyi is second, and no one dares to say first."
Xiao Qian interrupted.
"Actors are not cabbage. The quantity is not important, the quality is the most important."
"Pfft..."
Several people in the crowd couldn't hold back their laughter, but they didn't want to offend Xiang Keyuan, so they had to endure it.
Xiang Keyuan was so blocked that his fat face turned purple and white.
"Many of our actors are from Beijing Film Academy and Chinese Opera Department, and their quality can be guaranteed."
This time Xiao Qian didn't refute him, but her joking eyes clearly showed that she didn't agree with what he said.
Having experienced his previous life, Xiao Qian knew very well the virtues of these so-called actors with professional backgrounds.
People with glaring eyes, bright nostrils, and smokers can all run rampant in the entertainment industry. I really don’t know how to make people complain about them.
Xiang Keyuan sat on the wax by himself and quickly changed the topic.
"Now everyone knows that in terms of film and television production, Starlight is the top company in the country. And Starlight also has its own actors, so does that mean that we people don't have a chance?"
As soon as this question was asked, many people present looked over nervously.
China is such a big country and there are many people working in the film and television industry, so there is no shortage of opportunities for everyone.
However, the recent development of Starlight Film and Television has been so rapid that it can be said to occupy half of the country's market. However, the audience recognizes this brand and knows that the products produced by Starlight Film and Television are good.
Actor managers are of course willing to cooperate with such a company. If you cooperate with others, it will be difficult to become famous, and you will not even make much money.
Just in the second half of last year, three actor agencies have moved from Beijing to Shanghai.
The question that everyone is most worried about is that since Starlight Film and Television can produce it itself and has actors, will it not bring everyone to play with it?
After all, in all Starlight Film and Television's works so far, the protagonists in the films are basically their own.
"What are you talking about? No matter how big the star is, how many actors can there be? To shoot a movie or a TV series, dozens or hundreds of actors are often needed. Without the help of colleagues, it is simply impossible to do it. And actors are a pair of actors.
It is a profession that requires extremely stringent characteristics, and Starlight actors cannot do everything. There will be countless opportunities to work with you in the future."
Many people breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
As long as Starlight gives them a chance, they have nothing to worry about.
However, Xiao Qian is not an easy person to talk to.
Now that this issue was brought up, Xiao Qianke became all fired up.
"Speaking of the issue of actors, I still have some heartfelt words to say to you. If it doesn't sound right, please bear with me. Films and television dramas, in general, are works of art that contain spirituality. Every
A work is the work of the director and screenwriter. How to make these works
To fully present the film to the audience, this requires actors' interpretation. However, some of our actors not only do not concentrate on improving their acting skills, but also engage in some crooked tricks, obsessed with fame and fortune, and make a good movie into a mess. This is
Is it a quality that a qualified actor should have?"
He suddenly pointed towards Xiang Keyuan.
"The last time we filmed Bao Qingtian 3, we invited Jin Yi actor Qu Ming to play a role. But after he came, he asked for a five-star hotel and ordered food. Just for fun, he actually
I didn’t even review the script, and I couldn’t speak the lines. After a few negotiations with the director, your company’s agent actually claimed that he wanted to stop the show. I would like to ask Mr. Xiang, if your company doesn’t teach actors, what is artistic ethics?”
Xiao Qian called his name in person, which made Xiang Keyuan anxious and restless.
"This... this... our Jinyi has always been people-oriented. Our philosophy is... to serve the artists well and let them concentrate on their jobs. This... if the actor cannot eat well or sleep well, he will not be able to act.
It’s a good show, isn’t it?”
Everyone around him despised him and thought this guy was extremely stupid.
Xiao Qian snorted coldly and became even more rude.
"When filming "The Opium War", I was eating a box lunch on the beach in Taizhou. The wind was strong at level 7 or 8, and I even swallowed several mouthfuls of sand. Wasn't the filming of "The Opium War" bad?"
The subtext is, if a big man like me can eat box lunches, who is your artist?
People here really didn't know this, and they were all shocked when they heard this.
They all felt that a young man like Xiao Qian, after suddenly getting rich, should be greedy for enjoyment, love vanity and show off.
After all, the children in their family are basically that virtuous.
The result is that such a child of their son's generation can actually be on the front lines of the set and endure so much hardship.
In fact, they experienced a lot of hardships when they first started their business. They have a better understanding of the ethics on the set.
At this time, when they heard Xiao Qian comparing herself to herself, the group of people all lowered their heads in shame.
Xiao Qian was still talking.
"The older generation of artists, in order to present good works to the audience, would not hesitate to climb on the ice, sleep in the snow, or go hungry. Today's young people don't even eat lunch. They are not the stinkers you are used to.
Fault. Today I want to make it clearer. Actors like this will not be qualified to star in Starlight’s works from now on."
Surprisingly, Wang Weizhong actually agreed with Xiao Qian.
"Mr. Xiao is right. Actors should focus on their acting skills and get corresponding treatment based on their own qualities. Today's young people are too lazy to work hard. And so are your agencies. Don't encourage evil.
Feng. You think that by providing meticulous services to artists, you can retain talents. As you know, real talents do not rely on these."
Xiao Qian still has a lot to say.
"In addition to the quality of actors, I also discovered a bad trend. That is that actors' salaries have increased too fast recently."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the brokerage company here became nervous.
For those of them who are in the agency, actors' remuneration is their income. Now that Xiao Qian is talking about this, it is to touch their roots.
Does Xiao Qian care about their opinions?
"From last fall to now, the salary of the same actor has increased three times. A second-tier actor actually asked for a salary of 50,000 yuan per episode. Who does he think he is? Shen Jue only gets 70,000 yuan per episode."
The extremely high remuneration of actors in later generations has constantly aroused criticism.
The public is puzzled, why can a little fresh guy with no achievements be offered a salary of RMB 80 million?
In addition to suspected money laundering, the unhealthy model of the film and television industry is also an important reason.
Xiao Qian is very clear that as the entertainment industry continues to be popular, it is inevitable for capital to enter the market and make waves in the future. If an industry wants to develop and grow, it cannot do without the support of capital.
This is a double-edged sword, the key lies in the degree of control.
There is nothing he can do about this, and the country needs to step in. But he is determined to cut off the falsely high remuneration of artists at the source.
"A few days ago, I had a chat with the heads of several major film studios and production companies. Everyone was miserable about the skyrocketing remuneration of actors. Nowadays, the economy is developing rapidly and everyone wants to make more money. I can
I understand. But what I can’t understand is that actors are endlessly and blindly raising their prices. So, after communicating with these people in charge, I plan to set up a film and television industry alliance to jointly formulate a convention for the film and television industry. I don’t know if any of you here have any
Are you interested in participating in this grand event?"
The scene was completely silent, everyone frowned and thought. Some were excited, some were solemn, and some were depressed.
Xiao Qian's move can be said to have caught everyone's weakness.
Major brokerage companies obviously don't want to see such things as limiting actors' remuneration. After all, this is a very important financial source for them, and the losses will be huge.
However, the model of the film and television industry determines that brokerage companies must be the suppressed party.
In this industry, the producers and distributors are the fathers.
Now that several major forces at the source have joined forces to formulate rules, those who are following along can only stare blankly even if they don't agree.
Although the industrial alliance proposed by Xiao Qian is not an official organization, the resulting convention does not seem to have legal effect.
But the problem is that this organization includes all the upstream companies in the domestic film and television production industry. If you don't abide by their conventions, your actors won't even be able to act.
This is Xiao Qian's domineering attitude. At this moment, he doesn't advocate win-win or win-win.
The distribution of interests in this industry must get back on the right track.
Those who follow me will live, those who go against me will perish.
