Chapter 69 Celebration Banquet
"My Deskmate is not the key. The company will officially enter the big screen in the second half of the year. The male lead of the first movie is the core. You must fight for it."
After all, Zeng Jia is the artist director and is in the base camp, so he is more informed.
"Movies!" Qiao Zhengyu was in high spirits, his ambition was growing. No actor would not yearn for the big screen.
Zeng Jia reminded: "There are some things you need to be clear about. It is true that you are the top star of the company, but the company's movies do not necessarily require you to be the male lead.
If you don't go up, then Wang Kai will go up. It's not impossible for others to overtake you. You must communicate more with Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Jiang. "
Tengda Culture is not like Tangren Film and Television. There is no such thing as an absolute core. Some opportunities are equal for all artists in the company.
"Of course." If one wants to develop his career better and obtain more resources, he will definitely need the support of the company's top management. Qiao Zhengyu naturally understands this.
Zeng Jia, who was working at Tengda Culture, hung up the phone. What she had just said was a bit blunt and straightforward, and there was suspicion of forming cliques, but that's how the entertainment industry is. The cake is so big, and if others take one more bite, you can only take one less bite.
Since the company has tied Qiao Zhengyu and her together, their interests are linked, and they will suffer together and prosper together. Naturally, she has to give Qiao Zhengyu advice.
Zeng Jia saw the girl sitting in front of him with a tangled expression, frowned and asked, "What's that expression on your face?"
Wang Luodan quickly restrained his expression and responded timidly: "Mr. Zeng, I just think that we are all from the same company and we shouldn't do this."
Zeng Jia snorted in anger, "You shouldn't be doing this! You shouldn't be fighting for roles and resources! If you have such naive ideas, then I suggest you take advantage of your youth and beauty and find a rich man to marry. The entertainment industry is not for you."
"Mr. Zeng, that's not what I meant." Wang Luodan hurriedly explained that she had just joined the company and could not offend the artist director, and she wanted to be famous.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Mr. Zeng patted Wang Luodan's hand and comforted her, "Luodan, since the company has assigned you to my team, I will lead you well. Of course, the premise of everything is that you have to listen to my arrangements."
Wang Luodan immediately expressed his opinion, "I will definitely listen to you."
Seeing that Wang Luodan was so understanding, Zeng Jia nodded with satisfaction. A stupid person was not worth her energy.
“Although there are only four artists in the company at present and the competition is not very fierce, we cannot be careless.
Lu Yi will join the crew of "The Fairy From the Other World" in a few days. During her absence, you must get the leading female role in "My Deskmate".
I will help you fight for it, but you have to take the initiative yourself. Since you have chosen the path of an actor, you should fight hard for it.”
Wang Luodan seemed to be thinking about something, his expression gradually became serious, and he said to Zeng Jia firmly: "I want to be famous, please help me, Mr. Zeng."
"This young boy is teachable." Zeng Jia was very satisfied with Wang Luodan's statement in her heart. She liked ambitious actors.
Originally, she wanted to recruit Yang Mi from Rong Xinda to Tengda Culture, but now it seems that there is no need to bother, as Wang Luodan in front of her is also a promising and ambitious talent.
The two chatted for a while, and Zeng Jia stood up to see him off. "You need to understand more about the company's affairs. I have to report to President Wang in a while, so you go first."
She needs to discuss with Wang Jing the time for the "So Young" crew to go to Happy Camp for promotion.
After watching Wang Luodan leave the office, Zeng Jia returned to her seat and closed her eyes to think. She had been in the company for nearly half a year and had basically figured out everything going on within the company.
Apart from the elusive boss, there are only three senior executives in charge of the company. General Manager Wang Jing is in charge of film and television projects, General Assistant Jiang Tiantian is in charge of internal administration, and another deputy general manager Liu Rong is in charge of the theater chain in the south.
She had inquired through her connections and learned that Tenda Southern Cinemas has been very active in several provinces along the southeastern coast, and has been frantically acquiring cinema chains, gaining more and more say in the big-screen field.
It's a pity that I haven't met Liu Rong a few times so far. The company is going to make a movie in the second half of the year, and Liu Rong is in charge of the distribution and release. I have to find a way to get in touch with her.
Time flies, and soon it is the end of January. Tengda Culture held a celebration banquet for "So Young" at the Peking Hotel, mainly to celebrate the perfect conclusion of the company's first self-produced drama, and to reward the staff and thank them for their hard work.
Last week, the finale of "So Young" was broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, with a viewership rating of over 2%. The TV station's first round of film purchase fees have all been received, and the company is excited.
With the first round of ratings exceeding 2%, the second and third rounds of broadcasting rights can naturally be sold smoothly. Combined with some income from advertising, DVD copyrights, peripheral licensing fees, etc., Tengda Culture will probably earn around 18 million from the drama "So Young".
Because it was an exclusive project of Tengda Culture, no outsiders were invited to the celebration party. Apart from the internal employees of Tengda Culture, there were the director of the crew, several actors, agents and several leaders of the TV station.
At the banquet, Wang Jing was holding a wine glass, looking very happy and in high spirits.
As a producer and producer, she has been working hard to promote "So Young" from its preparation to its broadcast. The current good results are of course her credit.
Although the company's previous investments in "The Yang's Generals" and "Chinese Divorce" also made money, they were nowhere near as fulfilling as "So Young" which was a project that the company incubated itself.
"Mr. Wang, please take good care of my Yuanyuan in the future! Yuanyuan, please offer a drink to Mr. Wang." Yu Xinchong, the representative of Gao Yuanyuan's agency, winked at his own artist and said with a smile.
The behind-the-scenes team of Tengda Culture has taken shape after years of running-in. The company has the ability to produce and distribute films. It is a rising small giant in the circle and cannot help but be taken seriously by its peers in the circle.
"Mr. Wang, I'll drink it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the leading female role." Gao Yuanyuan had a smile on her face and held up the glass with both hands to toast Wang Jing.
After the broadcast of "So Young", her popularity soared. Coupled with the foundation she accumulated from playing Zhou Zhiruo in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", she can be said to be firmly established as a second-tier star.
"Yuanyuan, you are too polite. We are all working together. If the company has suitable projects in the future, we will definitely invite you again." Wang Jing took a sip of the champagne in the glass and agreed gently, but she felt a little regretful.
"So Young" was a special case as the company had no female artists at that time. In the future, Tengda Culture will never give away such an important resource as the heroine for free.
Wang Jing had thought about poaching Gao Yuanyuan at that time, but failed for various reasons, and it is even more impossible now.
Moreover, Tengda Culture has decided to focus on training Wang Luodan and Lu Yi and is no longer planning to poach famous female stars.
"Thank you so much." Although Gao Yuanyuan could tell that Wang Jing was just being polite, she still kept thanking her.
