Chapter 50 The First Female Artist

The car arrived at the Second Ring Road.

Bai Xin ran out in a hurry. She had to play the role of a female Eighth Route Army soldier who would be killed instantly by a bomb.

The only thing you do when you appear on stage is to show your face.

He only gets three hundred dollars a day for a film. What a small actor.

Before leaving, I said goodbye to him, uncle.

Time has changed. He, the former bully in junior high school, has become an uncle in the eyes of others.

There are only two people he really knows in the entertainment industry.

One is Zhao Liying, and the other is director Yang Jiancheng.

In the entertainment industry, you can’t find investment projects just by having money.

Good projects are even more scarce resources. For someone like him who has no connections in the entertainment industry, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a newbie.

Besides, the 100 million yuan in his pocket is nothing in the entertainment industry.

Anyone who is even slightly famous has a small goal.

Let’s find an office first.

I definitely can't afford to rent the entire building, and there's no need to do so.

After much deliberation, he finally rented a place where there were the most skyscrapers in Beijing.

CBD.

This is also the central business district of Beijing, where many bigwigs gather.

Chen Pingsheng rented a small 500-square-meter office space in the China World Trade Center at a high price and officially listed it as Tengying Entertainment.

The main reason for renting here is convenience.

Next door are two pairs of pants.

CCTV headquarters building.

There is also the China Zun, the tallest building in Beijing.

Also known as the CITIC Group Headquarters Building, it has a total height of 528 meters.

Only in a place like this can one realize how insignificant one is.

He has rented this office, which is in a very prime location. From the boss to the sanitation lady, he is the only one here.

Tengying Entertainment, as the name suggests, focuses on investment in the entertainment industry.

Chen Pingsheng sat idly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and took the initiative to call Yang Jiancheng to inform him that he had arrived at the Second Ring Road.

If it's convenient, you can come over.

I also called Zhao Liying, whom I hadn't contacted for a long time, and discussed Tencent Entertainment's next investment work after they arrived.

How to carry out it specifically.

Zhao Liying came very quickly and bought herself a small Mercedes-Benz.

As long as you can be the protagonist in the entertainment industry, the income is still very high.

After watching a drama, buying a car and a house is no problem at all.

Star power nourishes people, and Zhao Liying has completely gotten rid of her youthfulness and become a well-known artist in the entertainment industry.

"Brother Chen."

"Liying, did you see that? Thanks to you, your brother Chen has now opened an entertainment company."

Zhao Liying still smiles very sweetly, and there is a reason why she is so popular with the audience.

It really warms the heart.

"That's good."

Zhao Liying sat down opposite him very comfortably, and Chen Pingsheng poured her a cup of tea.

"Liying, are you almost done filming the Legend of Lu Zhen?"

"Well, Director Yang is very efficient. We'll definitely be able to wrap up filming in another month."

Zhao Liying asked him, "Brother Chen, when you open an entertainment company, are you planning to sign and train artists yourself, or just invest?"

"Does it make any difference?"

"That's a huge difference."

Zhao Liying explained: "If you only plan to invest, then after the TV series airs, you have nothing to do with it. But if you sign an artist, if the TV series becomes popular, your company can take a large share of the artist's subsequent commercial performances, endorsements, etc. Even if the artist takes on other TV series in the future, your company will take at least half of his or her salary. This way, you can have a steady stream of income."

The income from training artists is indeed high, but the key is that he doesn't know how to do it.

Chen Pingsheng said, "You know, I used to be a street vendor. In my spare time, I also helped people move. I don't really know much about the entertainment industry, let alone managing artists."

"Brother Chen, I, Zhao Liying, hope to be the first artist under your company. I hope you don't mind."

Zhao Liying stood up and said seriously.

Without him, Chen Pingsheng, perhaps she would still be playing supporting roles.

People should know how to be grateful. In the past six months, many big companies have wanted to sign her, but this is the reason why she has never agreed.

Chen Pingsheng waved his hand and refused: "Don't make trouble, I am just a small family and don't know anything. If you come in, I'm afraid I will delay you."

"Brother Chen, don't be so modest. You may not understand the entertainment industry very well right now, but if I give you some time, I believe you will be able to do better than anyone else."

"You trust me so much?"

"Of course."

Zhao Liying smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you've grown the Tengsheng fruit tree to this size in less than a year, haven't you?"

"The entertainment industry is just like that. It's all about finding good scripts and good directors, and then finding people who really want to be actors. It's definitely not harder than selling fruit."

"If you say that, I'll have confidence."

Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "We are not strangers. Since you trust me, I certainly won't treat you unfairly. How about this: I will invest in any script you like in the future. The company will only take 10% of your salary for starring in any film. Whoever you want to cooperate with, we will cooperate with them."

These three "buts" fully affirm Zhao Liying's independence in Tencent Film.

This kind of condition absolutely does not exist in any company.

He has fully delegated power. If there is something you don't know how to do, don't force yourself to do it. Just leave it to the professionals.

Zhao Liying didn't expect that she would receive such preferential treatment as soon as she joined.

The first one fully guarantees that she can freely choose scripts in the future.

And more importantly, Tencent will invest in anything she likes.

This is something that no other artist in the industry can imagine.

The second point is naturally to guarantee her absolute income.

No matter how large the traffic is, no company will only take 10%.

There is no need to talk about the third point. The most feared thing for an actor is to find a good script, but the opponent is a traffic star with no acting skills who is packaged in by capital.

In this case, no matter how hard she tries, she will still fall.

With these three qualities, she is definitely the most special person in the entertainment industry.

"Brother Chen, let's sign the contract quickly. You are not allowed to regret it."

"Don't worry, I'll give you a small gift first."

Chen Pingsheng asked her: "Where do you live now?"

"I bought a small house here myself."

"Your sister-in-law is now obsessed with real estate speculation. How about this? I'll ask her to go to Shijingshan and buy you a large flat as a signing gift. We can still be neighbors in the future."

Chen Pingsheng called Song Yanxi and said he wanted to imitate Liu Bei.

I can only follow his example, after all, he really doesn't understand the entertainment industry.

Even with the help of the golden finger, if there is no female Zhuge to help guide the country.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for Tengying to become really big.

A large apartment in Wujingshan would cost at most six or seven million, which is nothing compared to the income that a big star could bring in the future.

It's just a drop in the bucket.

As the first female artist under Tencent Film, she lives in a small house.

Is that reasonable?

The so-called burning incense in a cold temple means that without great effort, there will be no great reward.

Even Zhao Liying was stunned by him.

The key point is, she doesn’t know when she became so valuable?

She is just a little-known person who is not even a third-tier star.

If you act like this as a boss, I can eat you for the rest of my life.
