The income of TV drama actors in Xiangjiang can basically be divided into several categories.
Advertising endorsements, event hosting, and then the film remuneration, of which the film remuneration is the smallest. If they still have a movie market, they can also add the film remuneration.
But no matter how you calculate it, their income in TV series is the smallest.
Therefore, famous actors will take on other activities outside to supplement their income. However, different TV stations have different situations. For TVB, the relationship between artists and TV stations is somewhat similar to the relationship between artists and agencies.
, all their income outside will be divided into part to TVB.
This condition is also the most stringent among the three major TV stations in Hong Kong, but at the same time, because TVB has the highest ratings, TVB artists can only abide by the harsh conditions.
Of course, the conditions for those artists at the top of the TVB pyramid are relatively the most relaxed.
As for Li's TV, this is not a rule yet, but I believe that with Shao Yifu's personality, when Li's TV grows up in the future, he will definitely implement this policy.
At the same time, Jiayi TV does not have such a policy.
Therefore, when Jiayi TV is poaching people, many people are willing to join Jiayi TV.
As the leading actress of Jiayi TV Station, Mi Xue is also one of the most popular female TV actresses in Hong Kong. Her income is naturally higher than that of some ordinary artists. Activities and endorsements are indispensable. In addition,
Mi Xue also has a high degree of freedom and can take on films offered by film companies.
Today, after Mi Xue got up at home, she simply packed up and went out. Artists in this era in Xiangjiang did not have assistants, nor did they have exclusive drivers when they went out. It was already quite good to have a car of their own.
This is true even for artists of Mi Xue's level.
After going downstairs, Mi Xue drove her car to an office building on Broadcasting Road, where there was a Hong Kong film company.
After just finishing filming the TV series for Jiayi TV, Mi Xue received an invitation from the film company. After meeting with the director and listening to the story explained by the director, Mi Xue was also very interested in the movie. Today Mi Xue is
Come to officially sign a contract with this film company.
The company is not very big, and the first impression is that it looks like a leather company. However, Mi Xue doesn't care much about this situation. Currently, among the ten film companies in Hong Kong, at least six are leather companies.
Get a sum of money, save a few people in front of and behind the scenes, and then you can start shooting. This is the norm in the Hong Kong film industry. There are actually only a few film companies that have truly formed a formal process, such as Black and White Pictures, Shaw Brothers, and Black and White Pictures.
It has several satellite companies, as well as several film companies established by well-known film directors or actors.
However, because Mi Xue is now a contracted artist with Jiayi TV, neither Black and White Video nor Shaw Brothers has invited Mi Xue again.
Regarding this point, Mi Xue actually doesn't have much psychological fluctuations. Whether it is a TV series or a movie, she actually uses it to increase her fame so as to increase her income from endorsements and activities.
Now that Mi Xue is famous and has many endorsements and activities, she naturally doesn't care whether she makes a film for Black and White and Shaw Brothers.
"Director Jia, I'm very sorry. I'm late because of the traffic jam!" Mi Xue said apologetically with a smile on her face after seeing the director.
In fact, Mi Xue was not late, and even arrived a few minutes early. However, since the director had already arrived, Mi Xue took the initiative to apologize.
In terms of character, Mi Xue is still very capable in the entertainment circle in Xiangjiang!
Director Jia had an awkward smile on his face and said: "Miss Mi, I'm so sorry. I just called your home, but no one answered. If Miss Mi could go out a few minutes later,
Maybe I won’t come here!”
Mi Xue's expression changed slightly. This was not what she should have said when signing the contract.
"Is there any accident?" Mi Xue asked him.
Director Jia continued to talk awkwardly: "It's like this. I suddenly found a more suitable actress for this movie, so the cooperation with Miss Mi can only be..."
Mi Xue raised her eyebrows slightly. Regarding this movie, Mi Xue's initial attitude was that she could film it or not, but this was her own mentality. Now that everyone on her side has agreed to sign the contract, the other party wants to change actors temporarily?
Although this kind of thing is not a rare thing in Xiangjiang, in front of a celebrity like Mi Xue, this thing seems a bit weird. More importantly, the director Jia in front of me is not a well-known director in Xiangjiang.
It can only be said that he is slightly better than the new director.
In the entertainment industry, Mi Xue's status is higher than that of the other party, but now she is being rejected by the other party?
"It doesn't matter. Since that's the case, I won't waste Director Jia's time!"
Although she was unhappy in her heart, Mi Xue's character did not make her angry on the spot. She just said something indifferently and stood up to leave.
Director Jia stood up with an apologetic look, personally sent Mi Xue to the door of the company, and then said helplessly: "Miss Mi, I am sorry for this matter, Miss Mi, but please believe that we have no choice but to do it!"
Seeing this, Mi Xue became more and more curious and asked, "Is there something unspeakable?"
Director Jia said: "Miss Mi, please stop asking. I hope you will become more and more popular in the future!"
After speaking, Director Jia turned around and returned to his company.
Mi Xue shook her head. She was unable to understand what the other party meant. The failure to sign a contract with Director Jia did not affect Mi Xue's mood.
I drove to Causeway Bay alone, visited several shopping malls, and bought myself some clothes. Mi Xue was in a good mood and parked the car in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mi Xue has a lot to do today. She was busy filming a TV series for Jiayi TV, so a lot of work has come to a standstill.
Today, in addition to signing a contract with Director Jia, Mi Xue also has to sign a contract with a shopping mall that is about to open in Xiangjiang. As the economic development of Xiangjiang gets better and better, more and more shopping malls will appear in Xiangjiang.
In order to attract attention and attract consumers, some popular celebrities will be invited to perform the opening ceremony when the shopping mall opens.
In fact, this is not just the case in shopping malls, but also in some larger shops.
So this is also a type of income for current Xiangjiang artists.
Mi Xue came to the office of the general manager of the shopping mall. When the general manager saw Mi Xue arriving, his face was obviously surprised. He looked at the secretary beside him, and the secretary gave him a look that he couldn't do anything about.
"Ms. Mi, we've been looking for you for several hours. Where have you been?"
At this time, the mall manager could only smile and chat with Mi Xue.
Mi Xue was stunned for a moment and said: "Manager Chu, what's the matter? I remember that the signing time we agreed on was 11 o'clock this morning. I shouldn't be late, right?"
Manager Chu smiled and said: "No, no, but our head office has made temporary changes to the invitation for opening guests. Miss Mi and your cooperation, our mall can only say sorry to you."
This time Mi Xue finally felt that something was wrong, first it was the movie she was about to sign, and now it was the opening event of the shopping mall.
"Manager Chu, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Manager Chu shook his head and said: "No, no, it was indeed the decision made by the head office, so Miss Mi, I can only say sorry to you in my personal capacity for our cooperation this time!"
Afterwards, Manager Chu signaled his secretary to see off the guests.
Mi Xue was asked out of Manager Chu's office with a confused look on her face, but she couldn't hide the confusion in her eyes.
With a lot of confusion, Mi Xue returned to her home. Sitting on the sofa, she was also thinking about whether she had offended some big shot in the entertainment industry during this period, so she did this.
There is a situation like this now.
But when I think about it, I have always been humble and polite to everyone, but it doesn't seem like anything happened to offend anyone?
Just when Mi Xue was puzzled, the phone at home rang.
Mi Xue stood up to answer the phone. It was a call from a protective cream company that she had previously endorsed.
"Ms. Mi is very sorry. Because of our company's reasons, we have decided to terminate the endorsement contract with you early. I hope you can understand!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mi Xue to ask about the specific situation, the other party had already hung up the phone so quickly that Mi Xue was surprised.
If Mi Xue doesn't know that she is being targeted at this time, then she has really spent so many years in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong in vain.
If Mi Xue was still able to accept the film without signing a contract before, then now her event hosting and advertising endorsements have been stopped. This situation is different. It can be said that most of her financial resources have been directly cut off!
What's even more frightening is that Mi Xue is worried that this incident will continue.
Murphy's Law, whatever you're afraid of will come true!
Just when Mi Xue was still worried about this matter, the phone at home rang again. Mi Xue looked at the piercing sound of the phone and did not want to answer the call. She had a hunch in her heart that this was not good news for herself.
phone number.
But in the end, Mi Xue reluctantly answered the call.
Then another advertising spokesperson told her that he had decided to terminate the contract with her in advance.
"So what happened?"
After Mi Xue hung up the phone, she stood there blankly. The fear in her heart instantly eroded her brain. At this time, Mi Xue was just a 23-year-old girl, even though she had already joined the entertainment industry early.
But when the unknown fear began to erode her, Mi Xue still squatted on the ground like a girl, with her eyes red.
But in the end, Mi Xue was not an ordinary girl. After forcing herself to calm down, Mi Xue immediately picked up the car keys on the table and left the house.
Maybe at this time, only by returning to the company can we know what happened.
When Mi Xue returned to Jiayi TV Station, she realized that the seriousness of the matter was beyond her comprehension.
Many of her artists from Jiayi TV Station gathered here, and all of them had the same frightened expressions on their faces as Mi Xue.
After questioning, Mi Xue learned that all the artists on Jiayi TV Station had encountered a similar situation to herself.
And the seriousness of the matter does not stop there. Some of the TV station's cooperative advertisers are also discussing with the TV station about withdrawing from sponsorship.
"Is the sky falling?"
Mi Xue said in disbelief.
None of the many artists at the scene could answer Mi Xue's question because they didn't understand what exactly happened.
All the artists of Jiayi TV are working on their TV station's July offensive, and every time they walk into the TV station on a new day, they are notified that their TV station's ratings increased last night.
, these people are very happy inside.
After all, the higher the ratings of a TV station, the greater their reputation will be, and naturally, the more income will follow.
It seems that everything is moving in a good direction.
But now, something unexpected happened. Everyone in the station seemed to have encountered problems in all their jobs except for their own jobs in the TV station.
In this situation, it is no longer just one person who is being targeted, but their entire Jiayi TV station.
"It must be those two TV stations, it must be them. If it weren't for them, our partners wouldn't all change their minds overnight!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Zhou Liang Shuyi was sitting in her office, with anger and unconcealable anxiety in her expression.
Compared with Mi Xue and other artists, Zhou Liang Shuyi looked further, so she quickly understood that in Hong Kong, only TVB and Li TV could allow TV advertisers to make such a major decision overnight.
There are two families, one is behind Chu Huan and the other is behind Shao Yifu. Both of them are very prestigious people in Xiangjiang, especially Chu Huan, who is now the well-deserved number one person in Xiangjiang.
"How about calling them both separately? They are breaking the rules of Xiangjiang!"
Jamie Ye was also preaching in a panic at this time.
Seeing that the ratings of Jiayi TV are getting better and better, now such a situation suddenly occurs, which is really not what Jamie Ye wants to see.
"You want me to bow to them?" Liang Shuyi suddenly looked at Jamie Ye, anger bursting out of her eyes.
This was the first time that Jamie Ye saw Shou Liang Shuyi with such an attitude, and she was immediately startled. However, she thought that if she didn't do this, she would have to bite the bullet and preach to Shou Liang Shuyi.
"Ms. Liang, this matter was obviously caused by Chu Huan and Shao Yifu. The person who untied the bell must also tie the bell. If the situation is allowed to develop, our TV station will be doomed!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi said angrily: "They are dreaming. Back then, Chu Huan was able to produce black and white images under the joint pressure of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe. Now we at Jiayi TV can do the same. If we bow to them now, then
In the future, will Jiayi TV still have a foothold in the Xiangjiang TV field?"
Just when Jamie Ye wanted to say something to Shou Liang Shou Yi, the phone on Shou Liang Shou Yi's desk suddenly rang.
Jamie Ye glanced at Shuyi Chow who didn't want to answer the phone at this time, and could only answer the phone helplessly.
After a while, Jamie Ye hung up the phone helplessly and said to Zhou Liang Shuyi: "It was a call from Director Lu of the board of directors. He was asking about what happened today, and I think it won't be long before the other directors will also call.
I will definitely call and ask.”
He Zuozhi had been deceived by Chow Liang Shuyi and went to Southeast Asia to expand Jiayi TV's TV series sales channels. Now it is Chow Liang Shuyi who directly deals with Jiayi TV.
Zhou Liang Shuyi said coldly: "If the directors call again, tell them that we have already thought of a way to deal with the current situation!"
Jamie Ye showed a happy expression and asked: "What can I do?"
Zhou Liang Shuyi did not speak, but walked out of her office, and then asked her secretary to summon all the artists currently in the stage to the conference room for a meeting.
Zhou Liang Shuyi's secretary did not dare to delay and hurriedly went to inform him.
Zhou Liang Shuyi walked to the conference room alone.
When everyone in Mi Xue walked into the conference room, Zhou Liang Shuyi was already sitting there with a gloomy face.
"Everyone, I think everyone should already know what happened today, right?"
After everyone sat down, Zhou Liang Shuyi directly began to preach.
Zheng Yuling stood up and asked: "Ms. Liang, are you still facing these problems on the station? Are the other two TV stations targeting us?"
Zheng Yuling's words made everyone in the conference room turn their attention to Zhou Liang Shuyi. Now everyone also wants to understand that at this time, the only ones who have the ability to do this and the need to do this are those two companies.
TV station!
Zhou Liang Shuyi did not minimize the impact of this matter at this time, but directly admitted: "Yes, since everyone already knows, I can tell you that this matter is indeed
Those two TV stations did it.”
When everyone saw Zhou Liang Shuyi's admission, the whole conference room suddenly felt like it was exploding, and everyone was talking about it.
None of them expected that those two TV stations would do things so brilliantly, and now they were no longer simply targeting Jiayi TV, but were also targeting artists like them at Jiayi TV.
"Everyone, I think you have now experienced the dominance of TVB and Li TV, right?"
Zhou Liang Shuyi knocked on the table and preached angrily.
"They are not only destroying Jiayi TV Station, but they are also destroying everyone sitting here. Everyone has worked hard in the artist training class, experienced walk-ins and supporting roles, and then achieved their current status. But then
The behavior of the two TV stations is really disgusting!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi's words once again caused everyone to discuss softly, but Zhou Liang Shuyi did not give everyone present much time to discuss, but continued to preach.
"But everyone, I think we should be happy. Do you know why?"
Zhou Liang Shuyi's question made everyone at the scene look puzzled. Now that everyone's income has obviously plummeted, they really can't think of anything to be happy about.
"The reason why TVB and Li TV did this is because our Jiayi TV station has developed and they are afraid, so they use such despicable means to deal with us.
I admit that compared to TVB, Li TV and our Jiayi TV station are still very weak, but I am also convinced that such a blow is impossible to hit our Jiayi TV station. Any successful company has experienced
Only after being tempered by countless fierce fires can we truly develop and grow. Our Jiayi TV station is currently experiencing the tempering of fierce fires, but I believe that after the fierce fire, our Jiayi TV station will become a truly successful TV station.
And when the time comes, you will be partners who have experienced ups and downs with Jiayi TV.
So everyone, I hope you can understand that the current difficulties are only temporary, and you don’t have to worry about the rumors about the company. I have already thought of a way to solve this matter, so our company will return to normal form soon!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi's words stabilized the mood of everyone at the scene a little. If this is the case, then their worries can indeed be alleviated.
Of course, it will only slow down a bit.
It was Zheng Yuling who asked again: "Ms. Liang, although you said that you have a way to deal with the current situation with the development of the company, as for us personally, actors are just a profession for everyone, but now everyone's income has been reduced due to
There have been varying degrees of losses due to this matter. I wonder how the company views this matter?"
This is Zheng Yuling. There are a lot of gossips about Zheng Yuling in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but only a few are famous.
The first gossip is that someone once said that when Zhou Xingchi was still a supporting actor at TVB, Zheng Yuling once said that this person looked like a dog!
This is also why there is such a line at the end of the second part of "Westward Journey".
The second gossip is that the love between Zheng Yuling and Lu Fang lasted for a long time, but in the end the two did not get together, but ended up breaking up.
The third gossip is Zheng Yuling's obsession with money. After becoming famous, stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry basically only invest in two investments, one is investing in real estate, and the other is investing in stocks. People like Kuang Kangyun who start their own businesses,
Yes, but few are successful.
But Zheng Yuling is different. All the money this person earns is deposited in the bank without any investment. At the same time, he will not lend his money to anyone, including those close to him.
Of course, this is also related to Zheng Yuling's personal growth experience, but no matter what, it is certain that Zheng Yuling really only regards acting as a profession.
So at this time, although Zhou Liang Shuyi said nothing, Zheng Yuling was more concerned about what she should do with her current losses.
These people present are all veterans who have been in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang. Unlike the children of Youyu Records before, it is not that Zhou Liang Shuyi can change their minds with just a few words of chicken soup.
Just now, Sandra Chow only said that the company had ways to overcome this difficulty, but she did not talk about their situation.
Faced with Zheng Yuling's question, Liang Shuyi raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't like things happening outside of her control.
Zheng Yuling's question was obviously beyond the control of Zhou Liang Shuyi.
However, facing those bright-eyed artists, Chow Liang Shuyi also knew that she must appease these people first.
"I hope everyone can take a longer-term view on this point. I have just said that the company will definitely be able to get through this difficulty, and after the company gets through this difficulty, the company's development will be better and better."
It's getting better and better. Your popularity will definitely be rising by then. Are you still worried about not being able to receive events or endorsements at that time?
And you all think about the company's treatment. Among the three TV stations in Hong Kong, TVB has to share the activity remuneration and endorsement fees with the artists. Although Li TV does not do this now, I can also assure you that according to Shao Yifu's behavior,
, as long as he brings Li's TV on the right track, then Li's TV will definitely implement this policy.
Only our Jiayi TV station will never do this, so I can assure you that your gains in the future will definitely far exceed your current losses!"
Are you actually drawing a pie?
Zheng Yuling sat down disappointedly. She did not continue to ask Zhou Liang Shuyi anything, because what Zhou Liang Shuyi said just now actually made it very clear.
Besides Jiayi TV, do you have any other options?
This is correct for everyone sitting here.
Other people's thoughts are similar to Zheng Yuling's. Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and no one should play chat with anyone else.
Just trying to get everyone to continue to work for Jiayi TV with just one big pie is impossible!
Afterwards, Zhou Liang Shuyi poured some chicken soup into these artists and announced that the meeting was disbanded.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Although everyone knew that it was Zhou Liang Shuyi who was drawing big cakes for everyone, they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Axue, what do you think about this matter?"
Bai Biao stopped Mi Xue and asked Mi Xue that the relationship between the two was still good. After all, the two also collaborated on the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" last year, in which Bai Biao played Guo Jing and Mi Xue played the role of Guo Jing.
The other one is Huang Rong.
Mi Xue said helplessly: "What else can we do now? We can only take one step at a time!"
When Bai Biao saw Mi Xue in such a posture, he sighed helplessly and said: "This is really a fight between gods, and the little devil will suffer!"
Mi Xue shook her head and left the conference room.
Nowadays, everyone can only clean up the snow on their own.
When Chow Leung Suk-yi returned to the office, she was informed by Jamie Ye that while Chow Leung Suk-yi was holding a meeting with the artists, several directors called to inquire about the situation.
Zhou Liang Shuyi didn't care about this matter at all, saying: "Immediately notify Xu Ke and tell him that we have approved the project he submitted before, and let him start preparing a crew for filming immediately."
Jamie Ye was startled and said: "But the investment in Xu Ke's TV series is really too big. Didn't He Weng deny this project before?"
Zhou Liang Shuyi said: "Now that Mr. He is not in Hong Kong, I have the final say in everything about the TV station!"
Jamie Ye was stunned for a moment, and knew that this was the only way. She and Chow Liang Shuyi were still very optimistic about this project, but now it seemed that Chow Liang Shuyi was about to burn the boat.
"OK!"
"Look at the inside first. In this situation, we can only find foreign aid!" Zhou Liang Shuyi said seriously.
