After leaving the "Kung Fu" crew, Zhang Yuan went straight to Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport and took a flight back to the capital.

He informed Cheng Hao of his flight schedule in advance, so the older sister put on a hat early and hung sunglasses on her high nose bridge, waiting for him in the airport pick-up area.

Zhang Yuan was anxious to arrange a meeting between the other party and himself. It was not because he felt like a new marriage was better than a short separation, but because he could not suppress his hormonal impulse and wanted to get straight to the point.

Besides, he had just spent an exciting night with Miss Huang last night, and now he was in a temporary sage mode.

There is no Bodhi tree, nor is there a mirror stand. There is not even a drop of water, so where can dust gather?

He didn't know that on the other side of the carriage, Miss Huang was in her room, feeling helpless and furious.

She felt that she had been played for nothing 1, 2, 3, 4...it was just one night.

Very angry!
It’s like this between men and women, whoever cares loses.

If you feel that you have been at a disadvantage, you will never forget it and keep it in your mind.

Back to the topic, he and Cheng Hao agreed to meet in order to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to complete the registration of the agency company that had been agreed upon previously.

Cheng Hao has completed all the preliminary procedures according to his requirements.

The new company was named Yuanjing Media Culture Co., Ltd., and its main business is artist brokerage services, film and television drama planning, event organization, personal image design and other related businesses.

The two of them hold shares in the company in a 20:80 ratio, of course Zhang Yuan holds 80%.

After finishing all the business and returning to the small courtyard, Cheng Hao carefully put all the newly obtained business license and other documents into his own folder.

She knew that she was going to do serious business today, so she wore a formal suit. When she arrived at the office, she put on a pair of black-framed glasses without lenses, which gave her a unique style.

They bought some fruits, including baskets of peaches and plums, and sat in the yard, eating and chatting.

"The company is now open. What do you plan to do next?" Cheng Hao handed him a peeled peach.

I took a bite, hmm, it was as tender and juicy as the one in front of me.

In comparison, Miss Huang Shengyi last night was a bit... not smooth enough.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? I'm asking you a question." Cheng Hao waved his hand in front of him.

Zhang Yuan threw out the idea of ​​"reviewing the battle process, learning combat experience, and optimizing the process flow" and answered.

"Next, let's sign the first artist with our company."

"Is that the country boy you mentioned who just won the Golden Horse Best Newcomer Award?" Cheng Hao frowned and said, "I watched the movie 'Blind Shaft' he starred in."

“It’s been banned in the mainland.”

"Yes, at that time I helped the crew solve the problem of the filming location, and they even gave me a share of the profit." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

"This kind of film is aimed at winning awards and doesn't care about the box office at all."

"The main way to make money is through overseas copyright sales."

"The film's director Li Yang contacted me a few days ago. I have received more than 5 million yuan in copyright fees. Not only have I made back my investment, but I have also made a lot of money."

"I can also get hundreds of thousands of dividends."

"Wang Baoqiang's pay was only 2000 yuan."

"He works so hard to earn this little, but I can easily earn hundreds of times more than him by just lying down and acting as a matchmaker."

"So, you know the benefits of having connections, owning a company, and being a boss."

Cheng Hao nodded.

Like all actors, she was ecstatic at the beginning about the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars she earned for each film.

Because her income in a few months can exceed the total amount of money her parents earn from working hard for a lifetime.

This feeling of happiness is indescribable.

But slowly, when she found out how much the bosses of the film and television companies could earn through these actors, this sense of happiness instantly turned into pain, and even a little twisted.

The income that made me so happy turned out to be less than a fraction of what others earned...

In fact, it’s just like an ordinary worker. He was happy at work, but as he got to know his manager’s income, he became unhappy.

"You are the smartest, I know that." Cheng Hao leaned against him and whispered softly, "You understand better than most people."

"But are you sure you want this kid to be the company's first artist?"

"I always feel that he looks silly and can't even speak Mandarin well."

"In terms of acting, the two criminals in Blind Shaft also performed better."

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded. That was natural, because the two actors who played the two criminals were Li Jingxiang and Wang Shuangbao, both of whom were movie emperor-level figures.

Acting with the fledgling Bao Qiang is a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

"It's okay, I believe he can do it."

"And if I sign him, he will be of use immediately."

Just as he said this, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Big brother!"

"Brother Yuan!"

"I'm coming!"

An urgent and loud voice with a heavy accent came through the room and reached the inside.

"Let's go and greet our first employee."

He held Cheng Hao's hand and walked to the door.

When I opened the gate, I saw Wang Baoqiang's innocent face with a rural red cheek and a bright smile.

"Come on, come in."

Just now he was extremely cheerful and had a loud voice.

But when he saw a stranger in the room, a person of the opposite sex, and a very beautiful one, Baoqiang suddenly became speechless, lowered his head, and didn't even say hello.

"I think he's stupid." Cheng Hao whispered in his ear, "Why don't you think about it again?"

At this time, Baoqiang lowered his head and thought for a few seconds. His eyes rolled around and he saw Zhang Yuan holding Cheng Hao's hand, and he immediately felt blessed.

He raised his head, put on a smile again, and spoke to Cheng Hao.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Cheng Hao was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth curled up wildly and he quickly welcomed him in.

"Please join our team!"

Zhang Yuan: …

Didn’t you just tell me to think about it and think he’s stupid?

Have you learned Sichuan Opera face-changing?
And Baoqiang, you kid...

If anyone calls you stupid again, I will be the first to disagree!
There are people who pretend to be stupid in the entertainment industry, but there are no real stupid people. Bao Qiang is an example.

Next, Zhang Yuan witnessed how Cheng Hao lost herself in the constant shouting of "Sister-in-law is long, sister-in-law is short"...

"Ahem." Finally, Zhang Yuan couldn't help it, cleared his throat, and interrupted: "Bao Qiang."

"When you are working, you should refer to your job title."

"Call me Sister Cheng or Manager Cheng from now on."

"Okay, big brother." Bao Qiang agreed immediately, then smiled and said, "Big brother, when will you take me to the crew of Director Feng that you mentioned?"

"No rush, sign the agency contract first." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and borrowed the document that had been prepared long ago from Cheng Hao.

After Wang Baoqiang took it, he read it over and over again.

"Can't read?"

Wang Baoqiang: …

"I don't quite understand what this tiered dividend means?" Baoqiang asked puzzledly.

Zhang Yuan smiled and explained: "The more you earn, the lower the company's commission will be."

"It will be divided into three levels: 100 million, 300 million and more than 1000 million."

"Fifty percent at most, twenty percent at least."

This model is still very rare these days, and the agency contracts at this time basically have a fixed profit-sharing ratio.

In later generations, especially those brokerage companies that want to recruit trainees, they like to use this kind of tiered brokerage contract.

They dare to take more than 90%!
Not to mention Huang Silang, even Huang Shiren is not as cruel as them!

Except for the most outstanding few who will become famous, the rest of the trainees are just slaves, earning less than working as factory workers.

Even so, if you want to terminate the contract, he will still sue you and ask you for a penalty for breach of contract.

What is a capitalist? (tactical retreat).

"For example, if you earn 100 million, the company takes 50."

"What? So many!" Wang Baoqiang was so excited that his saliva spurted out.

Zhang Yuan shielded his face with his hands to prevent him from spitting at him.

"But if you earn 300 million, the company only takes 90%, which is ."

When Baoqiang heard this ratio, he immediately felt a lot more at ease.

"If you can earn more than 1000 million, the company will only take 200 million."

"The harder you work, the more you earn, and the more you get. This is the tiered dividend." The advantage of this type of contract is that it has an incentive effect on artists and is a big deal that both parties can accept.

But compared to those Hong Kong companies like TVB, they make it clear when you sign the contract that they want to exploit you much more.

"The contract is for five years. Whether to renegotiate or use other cooperation models later can be discussed at that time." Zhang Yuan handed a black fountain pen to the other party.

He knew that after five years, it would be time to enter the era of personal studio.

This is a brand new cooperation model. Of course, only artists who are famous enough are qualified to open a studio.

It is equivalent to the artist opening his own company and the agency investing and holding shares.

They still make money together, but talented artists can also upgrade themselves to become part of the capital group, rather than just being a tool of capital as before.

At the same time, this cooperation model will also bring convenience in taxation...

Baoqiang thought about it again and again, and he knew very well that Zhang Yuan treated him very well.

He also knew that the other party had thrown him a big bait and he had to take it.

After all, no one would refuse the opportunity to star in a Feng Xiaogang film.

Baoqiang signed his name on the contract crookedly and took several deep breaths. He knew clearly that from now on, his fate in the next few years was firmly tied to Zhang Yuan.

"Pleasant to work with."

Zhang Yuan shook his hand formally: "I'll send you the address."

"See you at the audition location tomorrow morning."

“Remember, just be yourself.”

Zhang Yuan took care of everything, and the two of them looked at each other in amazement.

"Why don't you leave?"

Wang Baoqiang thought there would be a banquet to celebrate?

"Your sister Cheng Hao and I have things to do, not to talk about."

"Oh..." Baoqiang hurriedly trotted away.

"You were so sensible just now, but now you're acting stupid..." Zhang Yuan complained with his hands on his hips.

He turned around and looked at Cheng Hao, raising his eyebrows.

Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes, then shook his head: "No, my period is coming."

Hiss... Zhang Yuan made a bitter face and asked after a long while.

"You don't have...mouth ulcers?"

Cheng Hao: ...

In the middle of the night, while Cheng was enjoying his meal and drinking well, Miss Huang, who was far away in Chedun, was still in a state of impotent rage.

She felt empty inside, but it seemed that it wasn't just her heart that felt empty.

"I was taken advantage of for free?"

"You didn't even leave a phone number?"

"Not even a greeting."

"How could I be taken advantage of for free?"

"Hehehe, impossible."

"Absolutely impossible!"

She fell into endless mental exhaustion.

The next day, morning.

Cheng Hao held a peeled hard-boiled egg in each hand and applied them to his cheeks, which were as white and tender as the eggs.

"By the way, Yu Zheng hasn't responded yet. What do you think?" She said as she picked up a bowl of porridge, then put it down with a frown, picked up the fried dough sticks, but put it down again with a pout.

These two things always give her a sense of déjà vu...

"Don't worry, you are the boss now, you have to be strong."

Seeing that she had no appetite, Zhang Yuan went to the kitchen and made her a bowl of egg soup.

"Yu Zheng is a man who won't release his eagle until he sees the rabbit."

"He won't agree to cooperate on a whim."

“Before that, he will definitely look for more potential investors.”

"What if he finds someone else to cooperate with?" Cheng Hao asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll give him a reason he can't refuse." Zhang Yuan was not worried at all.

……

Imperial Capital, CP District, in a science and technology park in Xiaotangshan.

There are many office buildings here. These buildings look brand new and spotless. They must have been built only a few years ago.

Therefore, there are not many people working here.

In a factory building deep in the park, dozens of workers are busy building a green train named "Out of Nothing".

This train, which now still has its "skeleton" exposed, is 40 meters long in total and will serve as the main scene in the movie to be filmed later.

It includes four carriages: hard seat, soft sleeper, hard sleeper and dining car.

The interior and exterior of the carriage are restored to the best of their ability, and real train engineers and railway practitioners were recruited as professional consultants.

In order to build the train and the corresponding platform, more than 8000 square meters of land were rented, and the rental cost exceeded one million.

This train cost nearly 500 million to build.

This is still considered a small number, and that’s Director Feng.

If it were Zhang Da Huzi or Chen Kaige, they would dare to build a film and television city for you and rebuild a train station!

Compared to them, Feng Xiaogang is really quick, efficient and economical, and has strong business capabilities.

The total budget of this film is just over 3000 million, but before filming began, Director Feng brought in over 4000 million for advertising placements!

These include but are not limited to BMW, M-Zone, Nokia, Great Wall Lubricants, Taobao, HP laptops, Canon printers...

And Feng Xiaogang is also very cunning.

In the last movie, “Cell Phone”, all the products used were Motorola.

So as soon as the project was launched, he sent someone to contact Nokia.

Will you give me sponsorship? If not, I will continue to look for Motorola.

I sent someone to Motorola and asked them to pay more. If not, I will go to Nokia.

The two giants were in the midst of a fierce competition in the market at that time. The two companies kept raising the prices, allowing Director Feng to make a comfortable profit.

Therefore, the film has actually paid for itself before it even started shooting!

"Brother, I, I, I, my legs are weak..."

Zhang Yuan led Bao Qiang to the downstairs of the audition address. Before he even entered the house, his legs began to tremble.

"Why are you panicking? I'm here, you don't have to worry about anything." Zhang Yuan patted his back vigorously.

squeak……

As they were talking, a nanny car, the Alpha, which is the favorite of people in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province, stopped at the steps of the building in front of them.

A person ran down from the passenger seat and opened the rear door.

Then, two people came out from inside.

One was wearing a baseball cap and the other was wearing black sunglasses.

The two men walked in quickly and soon disappeared from their sight.

"Brother, that person seems a little familiar."

"It must look familiar." Zhang Yuan took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and handed it to Wang Baoqiang, asking him to take a puff as well to calm himself down.

Huh... Baoqiang took a deep breath. After the nicotine filled his lungs, he seemed to feel a little more at ease.

"You feel familiar because the person in front is Liu Dehua."

Cough, cough, cough... Baoqiang, who had just taken a breath, started coughing immediately, and his face turned red.

"Hua, Hua, Hua, Hua Zai!"

His admiration for Liu Dehua was truly "like the endless rushing of the river, like the unstoppable flooding of the Yellow River."

Of course I’m excited!
Snapped!
Zhang Yuan snapped his fingers and hit him on the forehead, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Call me Brother Hua. Is that you who called me Huazai?"

"Don't yell when you meet next time."

"I understand." Baoqiang replied timidly.

Unlike Baoqiang, Zhang Yuan was interested in Liu Dehua, but not that much.

The one he was paying attention to was the one behind Brother Hua.

Dongguanzi, Linjiadong... (End of this chapter)
