Chapter 130 Going in the opposite direction
Downstairs of Shengjing Haoyuan, Lin Cao got out of the car with the male lead candidate he had chosen yesterday, and kept giving instructions.
That crooked and evil smile really left a deep impression on Lin Cao! Although his acting skills are neither good nor bad, Lin Cao feels that Guan Yunpeng is very suitable to play the leading role in this web drama. It can even be said that this role is almost tailor-made for Guan Yunpeng! Now Lin Cao seems to understand Yang Ruoqian's intention of filming this web drama.
How much money can you make from an online drama?
The investment is large but the output is small, and all subsequent IP income belongs to the publisher.
Chengyu Media is both the producer and the distributor. If the online drama can make a profit, they can almost take the entire lion's share, and the income from subsequent IP development will also belong to them.
Kui Guang will just get a small profit at most, and if the online drama loses money, Kui Guang will have to bear all the losses.
How could Mr. Yang, who has lofty ambitions, do such a thankless task? His real goal is to use this web drama to create a unique actor image! To create an actor's image that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that when all the audience mentions this theme, they think of this actor in their minds, and to make this actor closely bound to the entire theme, is Mr. Yang's foresight!
Boss Yang is indeed amazing. It won’t be long before he defeats Yue Mansion and takes their place...
Impressed by Yang Ruoqian's long-term plan, Lin Cao swiped his card and walked into the elevator with a solemn expression.
"Boss Yang is the most dazzling entrepreneurial star in Jinhai City in the future, the future leader of the entertainment industry, the future helmsman of a Fortune 500 company, and the world's richest man in the next era."
"You are going to meet Mr. Yang. You must cheer up and show your best side to leave a deep impression on him. Do you understand?"
Lin Cao instilled these lofty words into Guan Yunpeng in a serious tone, which made the young actor feel under great pressure.
It seems amazing...
"I understand, Brother Lin." Guan Yunpeng nodded with his heart beating faster.
Lin Cao pressed the button leading to the rooftop swimming pool and continued, "I think you are the best candidate for the male lead, but that doesn't mean Mr. Yang thinks so. You must not take it lightly, do your best, and don't let me down."
"Okay, Brother Lin!"
bite……
The elevator reached the top floor.
Guan Yunpeng took a look and was shocked by the scene before him.
Shengjing Haoyuan is one of three high-end office buildings. The three office buildings are closely connected to form a triangle, and this swimming pool is built in the center of the top floors of the three office buildings.
I heard that this swimming pool was directly bought by Mr. Yang.
Guan Yunpeng became even more nervous.
He had been running around various film sets, trying his best to audition every time, and living a life of uncertainty. He didn't want to continue at all.
As long as I can sign a contract with Kuiguang Company, my life will be stable in the future...
No wonder he was so nervous.
Although domestic agencies are not as overbearing as those on the peninsula and cannot force artists to sign contracts that are like indentures, they are still the dominant party.
If you don't leave a good impression on your boss, even if you sign a long-term contract later, you won't be able to get many resources. If you offend someone, you may even be directly hidden from the team.
Above the swimming pool, in the spacious gym, Yang Ruoqian was exercising.
He is in charge of countless projects and the company is full of busy elites, but he is leisurely in the gym... This is the style of a big boss.
Guan Yunpeng took a deep breath and followed Lin Cao into the gym.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt Yang Ruoqian's ambiguous gaze sweeping over him.
Guan Yunpeng instantly felt an inexplicable oppression and was extremely nervous: "Hello, Mr. Yang, I am actor Guan Yunpeng."
Yang Ruoqian nodded slightly, walked down from the fitness equipment, and wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging beside him.
After the system upgrade and the accidental creation of an e-sports team, a money-eating behemoth, Yang Ruoqian has been feeling very proud these days - losing money is such a simple thing.
Now there is another young actor who comes to perform in the script he has carefully written.
Look at this actor, his looks are just above average, he is very young, and he doesn’t look like he has starred in any big productions.
Not outstanding, but not bad enough to break through the bottom line either. He is definitely the artist that Kuiguang Group needs most.
Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied with the actor selected by Lin Cao.
As expected of someone who came from a big company, his comprehension and understanding are higher than others.
"Sit down, let's just have a normal chat." Yang Ruoqian took a sip of water and asked Guan Yunpeng to sit down. "I'll ask you a few simple questions."
Guan Yunpeng sat down nervously, feeling uneasy.
The boss said that it was a casual conversation, which must be a conversation with hidden secrets. The boss said that asking a few simple questions was a final examination of himself...
Mr. Yang should be a little hesitant about me, but he doesn't completely deny me, so he plans to give me a chance? Then I must seize the opportunity!
"Please go ahead."
"Show me some of the works you've acted in before, preferably the most recent ones." Yang Ruoqian certainly had to do a final check on Guan Yunpeng, lest his acting skills were too good and he made such a bad drama popular.
And if his acting skills were really that high, why would he come to Kui Guang and be harmed by his boss Yang? It would be better for him to go to another company with better development prospects.
When Guan Yunpeng heard this question, his heart sank.
He is only 23 years old this year, has no professional acting education, no backing in the industry, and has very few resources to get, and even fewer opportunities to improve his acting skills...
Even so, Guan Yunpeng's acting skills have improved at an astonishing rate.
He is confident that given two more years at most, his acting skills will reach first-rate level.
However, in several recent dramas he has participated in, Guan Yunpeng has to admit that although his acting skills are not bad, there is still a clear gap compared to those veteran actors.
After hesitating for a moment, Guan Yunpeng still did not explain anything and sent his best performance clip to Yang Ruoqian.
He said things like "unlimited potential" and "you'll be able to become a top-notch talent in two years" and "please give me a chance, Mr. Yang". As someone who has been at the bottom of the entertainment industry for many years, he would no longer do such childish things.
There are so many ready-made actors with good acting skills out there, why should they sign a contract just for an invisible and intangible potential?
To take a step back, if we just find a good-looking vase, package and promote it, and spend some money, the possibility of getting results is more reliable than an illusory "potential".
Yang Ruoqian took out his mobile phone from the locker next to him, opened the video clip of the performance sent by Guan Yunpeng, and watched it carefully.
Well, the body movements were well performed.
His expression is natural when he is talking and acting, neither standing out nor dragging things down.
Good attitude, very attentive.
Eh...his acting skills are average when it comes to facial expression control. It seems like he lacks control over his facial muscles and always reveals overly exaggerated emotions.
Especially when laughing.
It always makes people feel uncoordinated and a little out of place.
After conducting a comprehensive assessment of Guan Yunpeng, Yang Ruoqian had basically made up his mind - the first artist that Kuiguang Company would choose to enter the entertainment industry would be Guan Yunpeng!
Looking at the silent boss, Guan Yunpeng's heart was beating fast.
As an actor himself, he certainly knows where his shortcomings are... He just hopes that these shortcomings won't be too noticeable to Mr. Yang.
"Not bad." Yang Ruoqian turned off his phone. "You two go down first. We'll go downstairs to discuss the details of the agency contract later."
The specific details of the brokerage contract...
Hearing this, Guan Yunpeng couldn't help but reveal an extremely excited expression on his face.
It’s like the feeling of a candidate who could barely get into a 211 university in a mock exam, then sees the result and finds that he performed above his level and 211 is his choice.
Done!
Guan Yunpeng quickly stood up, bowed to Yang Ruoqian, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, thank you Mr. Yang for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely not let you down!"
Yang Ruoqian smiled slightly, nodded, and motioned for them to go out.
Guan Yunpeng followed Lin Cao out of the gym and came to the headquarters of Kuiguang Company on the 24th floor. He was so excited that he was about to explode.
The next step is to sign the agency contract. I wonder what conditions Mr. Yang can offer...
The most important part of a brokerage contract is not the scope of the brokerage or the commission of income, but the contract term and liability for breach of contract.
In China, due to fewer restrictions in this regard, the contract period can be extended to a very long time and the liability for breach of contract can be set very high, so the agency is relatively the dominant party.
If the artist offends the agency and cannot bear the liability for breach of contract, the consequence may be that he or she will be banned for an unknown number of years until the contract expires.
However, since the contract period is very long, when the contract expires, the artist's acting career is basically over.
Just when Guan Yunpeng was daydreaming, Lin Cao suddenly reminded him in a low voice: "Boss Yang is here. Follow him in and be careful about your behavior."
Lin Cao will not be careless until things are completely settled and the contract is officially signed.
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Lin." Guan Yunpeng stood up and followed Yang Ruoqian, who had taken a shower and changed into formal clothes, into the office.
Yang Ruoqian sat casually at his desk, took out the agency contract that had been prepared long ago from the drawer, and handed it to Guan Yunpeng.
"Do you understand? Do you need a lawyer?"
Guan Yunpeng said quickly. "It's clear, Mr. Yang, don't worry."
Having said that, Guan Yunpeng quickly opened the contract and cast his eyes to the central content.
[Party A shall extract agency fees from Party B’s performance income in the following proportions…]
Looking at the commission ratio on the contract, Guan Yunpeng couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly - they were all within a reasonable range and on the low side. Mr. Yang was very conscientious...
[Party A’s rights and obligations…]
[Party B’s rights and obligations…]
After reading these general terms, Guan Yunpeng finally turned his attention to what he thought were the most important terms.
Term of the contract.
However, as soon as he looked over, an incredible look appeared in his eyes! (Additional update is finished~)
