Chapter 408 Enviable Resources

The box office of "Primordial Chaos: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" in mainland China has exceeded 2 billion yuan, and the beneficiaries are not only iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, but also the actors in the film.

But the ones who benefited the most were naturally Han Tong, who played Houyi, and Yan Xinchen, who played Chang'e.

Before the film was released, both of them were only considered third-tier artists.

He has never starred in any big-budget, influential TV series or movies, and has only played some outstanding supporting roles.

But after the release of "Primordial Chaos: Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", these two people became popular overnight, their net worth increased significantly, and they have already become first-line stars.

As for the status, it will require subsequent works and resources to consolidate.

Fortunately, both of them have switched to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video. Even if there are not enough resources for the male and female protagonists in big-budget films, there are still relatively many small and medium-cost films and big-budget TV series, which is something that artists from other companies envy.

Huang Xiaoming was very envious of Han Tong and Yan Xinchen at this moment.

Because after his contract with Huayi expired last year, he set up his own studio and became the boss.

In fact, before this, he had hesitated whether to sign with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, or to start his own business.

His agent advised that the resources for leading roles in special effects blockbusters like Jiang Heng were too scarce, and even artists under iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video might not be able to get them.

If the role is suitable, there is still a chance even if the agency contract is not there.

The real benefit of signing there is actually the opportunity to act in small and medium-budget films and big-budget TV series, which is very attractive to second- and third-tier artists.

But Huang Xiaoming has already become a first-line star and is quite popular in the circle. He has so many resources that he can choose any script he wants.

Therefore, there is no need to sign with iQiyi, Youku, or Tencent Video just for the vague resource of being the leading actor in a blockbuster movie, and then have their profits divided for nothing!
Anyway, you are familiar with Jiang Heng and have a good relationship with him. You also have a good relationship with Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and others. If you really need help, they can help you.

Huang Xiaoming thought about it again and again and felt that it made sense, so he eventually set up a studio and became his own boss.

On the 28th, Huang Xiaoming drove a Bentley Mulsanne and brought Yang Tianbao to the Shangri-La Hotel to attend the celebration party for "Hong Huang: Hou Yi Shooting the Sun".

But seeing the luxurious and spacious banquet hall filled with celebrities and bigwigs, Yang Tianbao's eyes lit up and he said with envy, "What a grand and luxurious place!"

Huang Xiaoming had a proud expression on his face. "Director Jiang's celebration party is definitely the best in China in terms of grandeur. Even Hollywood doesn't have such a scene!"

"Really?" Yang Tianbao looked curious.

"Of course!" Huang Xiaoming explained, "Those companies in Hollywood are all capitalists. They only calculate input and output. They are very stingy. They can't be compared with Director Jiang!"

Yang Tianbao became more and more envious, "I wish I could act in Director Jiang's film!"

Huang Xiaoming said hurriedly: "Don't worry, if there is a suitable role, I will definitely help you get it!"

After talking, the two went to find Jiang Heng and saw that he was surrounded by several movie company bosses, who were laughing and talking about something.

It is inconvenient for Huang Xiaoming to go there. Although he is also a boss, he cannot be compared with big film companies such as China Film and Shanghai Film.

Looking around, Huang Xiaoming saw Han Tong and Yan Xinchen standing together and chatting with some artists, so he took Yang Tianbao over.

"Congratulations, Lao Han, Xinchen!" Huang Xiaoming said politely.

Han Tong tapped Huang Xiaoming on the shoulder and said with a wry smile, "You also say that?"

Huang Xiaoming chuckled, "Who made your Hou Yi better than my Xing Tian!" Yan Xinchen politely thanked Huang Xiaoming, and took Yang Tianbao's hand, praising her beauty.

Yang Tianbao had the expression of a little fangirl, her eyes wide open, and she smiled sweetly and said, "Chenchen, your Chang'e is so beautiful. Not only can she slay men, but also women. I like her so much that I am going crazy!"

Yan Xinchen blushed slightly when she heard this, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is all because Director Jiang took the photo well. You can see that I'm not that pretty!"

An actress nearby said, "Director Jiang's skills are too amazing. He can't even spot any flaws!"

Another said, "Yes, I was shocked when I saw her. But she is beautiful to begin with. If it were someone like me, Director Jiang couldn't save her no matter how good his skills were!"

After saying this, several people laughed.

Yang Tianbao held Yan Chenchen's hand with a concerned expression, "Chenchen, you are so popular now, the company should give you a lot of resources!"

"Nothing, just let me go shoot a few movies first!" Yan Xinchen said in a flat tone, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

The actors next to him were all envious. Yan Xinchen would certainly not play a supporting role easily at this moment. He should be the leading actor.

If you star in a few movies a year and your performance is good and your status is secure, you will definitely be a first-line star.

With the follow-up resources from iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, it will be popular for at least five or six years!
Even Yang Tianbao felt a little sour at this moment.

In 2010, she acted in several movies, but they were all supporting roles and they didn't receive much response after they were released. I really envy Yan Xinchen at this moment!
Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but be curious about Jiang Heng's arrangements for Han Dong, who said that the company had prepared several film and television dramas for him.

Normally speaking, movie actors are of higher status than TV actors, but this cannot be generalized in the mainland entertainment industry.

Because many big-budget TV dramas have large investment scales, are well-produced, have high actor pay, and have a wide influence, many first-line stars will often shoot TV dramas.

Especially those produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, because they are basically large investments and the quality is not inferior to movies, and they are also what many first-line stars strive for.

After hearing about Han Tong's next work arrangements, Huang Xiaoming was actually a little envious.

He has a lot of film and television resources, but when it comes to investment scale, there is no comparison.

It’s really nice to take shelter under a big tree, but being a boss is not that easy!

Huang Xiaoming suddenly felt a little bored. Just then, a few more people came over to talk to Han Tong and Yan Xinchen, so he pulled Yang Tianbao out.

"I'm so envious. Tell me, can I sign with iQiyi, Youku, or Tencent Video?"

She is still a little-known person at this moment, but the film resources of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are quite attractive to her.

Huang Xiaoming is also a man who dotes on his wife very much. He brought Yang Tianbao to attend the celebration banquet with the idea of ​​helping her to gain resources.

Glancing at Jiang Heng in the distance, he said in a muffled voice, "I'll find a chance to mention this to Director Jiang. It shouldn't be a big problem!"

"That's great, husband, I love you!" Yang Tianbao smiled like a flower and threw a coquettish glance at Huang Xiaoming.

But Jiang Heng was always surrounded by people. Huang Xiaoming led Yang Tianbao forward, but they could only exchange polite greetings in a very official manner. It was not appropriate to say in public, "Director Jiang, can my girlfriend sign with your company?"

Although the probability of being rejected by Jiang Heng is not very high, it would be a bit embarrassing if Director Jiang doesn't really want to sign.
