Chapter 409: Run, Brother
Jiang Heng came out of the bathroom and saw Huang Xiaoming standing at the door, but he was not surprised.
At this moment, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are undoubtedly the number one in China in terms of scale, revenue and influence.
Every decision he makes will change the fate of countless people, so it is normal for him to be "besieged".
Just like Han Dong and Yan Xinchen who have just become popular, they are both first-line stars.
If you accumulate some resources and consolidate your status, it will be very easy to make a fortune of hundreds of millions.
What changed their destiny in the star career was that they were chosen by Jiang Heng to star in a special effects blockbuster.
Of course, Huang Xiaoming is already a first-tier player now, and he obviously didn’t come here for himself.
After glancing at Yang Tianbao who was chatting with Yang Mi not far away, he said to Huang Xiaoming: "It's hard for a hero to resist the temptation of a beautiful woman!"
Huang Xiaoming's face turned red when he heard this. "She is a good girl and she admires Director Jiang very much. She wants to join iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video...!"
There were many people at the celebration party, and a group of people would come at any time. As for normal times, with Jiang Heng's busy schedule, it was difficult to make an appointment.
Talking on the phone doesn't seem formal enough.
Huang Xiaoming, who was worried about the outcome, finally decided to get straight to the point and make his request short and sweet.
Jiang Heng glanced at Yang Tianbao who was not far away. As expected, the latter looked over. When she saw Jiang Heng looking at her, she smiled sweetly with a flattering expression.
Jiang Heng smiled at her as a greeting.
Then he said to Huang Xiaoming: "In theory, signing someone into the company is not a big deal. However, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video have their own rules and regulations, which is that they must guarantee the welfare benefits of the signed artists, give them the best resources and planning, and try their best to make every iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video artist a star.
iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video would never do something like signing someone to a company but not providing them with anything, or even hiding them! "
Huang Xiaoming looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly, "I know Director Jiang is kind-hearted, no one can compare to him!"
To be honest, there is some controversy in the industry regarding Jiang Heng's approach. He is too good to the artists, which makes many of his peers uncomfortable.
Because what some companies do is sign a bunch of artist trainees, and if one of them becomes popular, they make money, and the rest are just cannon fodder. If they want to terminate the contract, they have to pay a high penalty, so the money they make is huge.
There are not many artists signed to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, but their quality is extremely high. It can be said that all of them are doing well, which makes their peers envious. They think Jiang Heng has an incredibly good vision.
Huang Xiaoming originally thought that Jiang Heng was kind, but after hearing what he said now, he felt a little unsure.
He had already told Yang Tianbao that he would help her sign with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video. It would be a huge shame if this failed.
"Director Jiang, Baby is an excellent girl. She won't waste the company's resources. We just need to...!"
Jiang Heng raised his hand and said with a smile: "How about this, the company is about to introduce a Korean variety show, and it is short of a female guest. Originally, we were planning to use someone from the company, but for your sake, let her be on it. You can contact Vice President Li Xiaoping later and discuss the details with her!"
After saying that, he patted Huang Xiaoming on the shoulder and walked away.
Huang Xiaoming was stunned for a few seconds, then hurried forward to express his gratitude.
Although the goal of getting Yang Tianbao to sign a contract with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video was not achieved, it was not a complete waste.
As for the so-called variety show guests, although their status is lower, it is better than having no guests.
Besides, the variety shows produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video should be different!
If it was Director Jiang’s idea, maybe we would make money.
When Huang Xiaoming thought of this, he felt a flash of inspiration pass through his brain.
Just as he was about to think about it, Yang Tianbao came over and asked nervously, "What did Director Jiang say?" "Director Jiang said that they are going to launch a variety show and want you to be a guest!"
"That's great!"
Yang Tianbao was overjoyed and couldn't help but kiss Huang Jiaozhu on the face, saying in a sweet voice: "Husband, you, you are so great!"
Huang Xiaoming looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
And there are so many people in the circle at the moment, it’s hard to explain in detail.
"Director Jiang said to ask Vice President Li Xiaoping for specific matters. I'll ask her a few questions first!"
Yang Tianbao said yes obediently, and in her heart she began to wonder what film and television resources she could get. The start of a variety show star was still a little low!
As the vice president of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, Li Xiaoping is also a popular figure. Huang Xiaoming surrounded her and it took a long time before he had a chance to talk to her.
He invited her to a secluded corner and said, "Boss Li, Director Jiang said he wants to introduce a variety show from South Korea, and Baby can be the female guest!"
Li Xiaoping hadn't heard Jiang Heng's story yet, but she thought Huang Xiaoming wouldn't lie. She glanced at Yang Tianbao and said with a smile, "What a beautiful and lucky girl!"
Huang Xiaoming's mind moved, and he said excitedly: "Did Director Jiang come up with this idea?"
Li Xiaoping's eyes lit up, and she looked at Huang Xiaoming in surprise, then said with a smile, "You're quite smart!"
Huang Xiaoming was very happy and said, "It's not that I'm smart, it's that I have confidence in Director Jiang. The program he likes must be right!"
Yang Tianbao, who was standing next to him, was completely confused and felt that the two people were playing a guessing game.
After leaving, he asked, "You just asked Mr. Li that...!"
Huang Xiaoming said, "Director Jiang usually only shoots special effects blockbusters and doesn't care much about big-budget TV dramas. Now he is optimistic about a Korean variety show and actively proposed to introduce it. What do you think, is it bad?"
After hearing this, Yang Tianbao's eyes gradually brightened, his face full of surprise, as if he was about to scream in the next second.
Huang Xiaoming hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't reveal it yet, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. Wait until the contract is signed!"
"Oh!" Yang Tianbao thought it was an agency contract, and happily sat down with Huang Xiaoming to eat and drink.
After the celebration banquet, Jiang Heng found Li Xiaoping and asked her how the discussion on the introduction of the "Running Man" program was going.
Li Xiaoping said that the negotiations have almost been completed. The first season of the program will be jointly produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video and South Korea's SBS, and subsequent seasons will be produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video itself.
The only disagreement at the moment is the price. South Korea's SBS is too strict about the price, so it may be difficult to come to an agreement.
Jiang Heng lay in the boss chair and laughed, "These guys know that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are rich, so they want to take a big bite!"
Li Xiaoping said: "At present, it is indeed the case!"
"Okay, agree to it, so they won't cause any more trouble. Record it sooner and make money sooner!"
"Running Man" was first broadcast on SBS TV in South Korea on July 10, 7, which was only a little over a year, and its influence was not as great as it was later.
Therefore, the quotation offered by SBS TV station is lower than in the previous life, and it is not known how popular the show will be in China after it is renamed "Running Man".
As for the guests of the show, Jiang Heng naturally prefers the "original cast".
That's why after Huang Xiaoming made the request, Yang Tianbao was allowed to join.
After all, although Yang Tianbao's acting skills are a bit poor, his performance in "Running Man" is still very good.
