“Thanks to the noble person who appeared in my life.”
"Not only was he willing to give such an important movie and such an important lead role to an actor who had just signed the contract, whose acting skills had not been proven, and who was not very famous; he also encouraged me from time to time, which allowed me to maintain the greatest self-confidence and finish the entire film."
"He even demonstrated it himself and acted with me personally... I can say that every minute of shooting was a huge improvement for me."
"If it weren't for this noble man, she might still be working on some small film set, or she might have simply given up on this path due to the pressure of life."
"I never thought that I would be able to appear on the big screen like today - and I'm not afraid of being laughed at. This was originally the final goal in my career plan, but I didn't expect to achieve it in my first appearance."
"Hey, a little bit of emptiness~"
As the noble person whose name cannot be revealed, Yang Ruoqian really wants to say, not only have you not thought of this possibility, but even I have not thought of this possibility.
In the beginning, I signed a contract just because I saw this girl being bullied by Yue Fu, being passed around and stood up by Tian Yue, and the market research for the new movie was not good.
Who would have known that in the end the subject of the movie would actually make the actor famous, and the actor, through his acting skills and unknown attributes, would push the movie to a higher level.
For actors who appear on the screen for the first time, the audience will not be distracted by the performance because they have no impression of their past.
Yang Ruoqian turned the page of the press release expressionlessly, and the content once again changed from Shang Qianyu's self-narration to the writer's statement.
"When our reporter asked Shang Qianyu how she felt about her great success, how she was labeled as an acting talent instead of an idol right after her debut, and how she suddenly became the youngest acting talent from an unknown artist, she gave the above answer."
"Unfortunately, Shang Qianyu did not reveal the specific information of this 'noble person'."
"Our reporter then asked the next question he was concerned about - how did an actor who had only played minor roles before show such superb acting skills and how could he play a role that does not exist in reality and has no prototype so vividly?"
"Shang Qianyu did not shy away from revealing that she had tried to sign contracts with other agencies, but either they were asked to do something beyond acting skills and money when allocating resources, or they said one thing and did another."
"And in the movie, there is a similar plot - if you want to be a glamorous superhero, you also have to endure a lot of dark things."
"Having experienced it myself and having accumulated many years of experience as an extra, I can naturally play such a role vividly. Because the role and the actor have become one to a certain extent."
"Our reporter asked jokingly: Does this mean that Shang Qianyu is actually playing himself?"
"Shang Qianyu said that now she is just acting."
At the same time, in the middle of this text, the media responsible for the interview inserted a picture. In the picture, Shang Qianyu was smiling and his eyes were full of clarity.
From the smile on her lips, it can be seen that she is truly happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Our reporter finally asked Shang Qianyu what her plans were after this movie. Did she have any plans to participate in variety shows, film new TV series, or have any plans for fan meetings?"
"Shang Qianyu's answer was that she didn't have any ideas for the time being and would follow the agency's arrangements for everything."
"She said she was very lucky. Maybe she had some good fortune in her previous life to be able to meet such an agency."
…
This interview report was released yesterday afternoon, and in less than a day, it has already received a huge number of likes and reposts.
There are countless discussions in the comment section.
This shows how popular and influential "The Boys" is, and it can also be seen that Shang Qianyu's current status is indeed different from the past.
After reading what Shang Qianyu said about "blessings from the previous life", Mr. Yang just wanted to sigh how many worlds he had saved in his previous life, and it was so difficult to fail once in this life.
"To be honest, there's nothing wrong with Shang Qianyu's acting. Even if you nitpick, it's hard to find any faults."
"Indeed, just from this one movie, my net worth has increased many times."
"She's beautiful and kind, don't you understand? Otherwise, with her conditions, if she wanted to be famous, she would have been famous countless times."
"Look at her eyes, wow...it's hard to imagine that a female star from the entertainment industry can have such eyes."
"Wow, I just checked out her experience, and it felt like she had a hard time. She was really targeted. With such good looks and acting skills, she was almost buried?"
"I got a lot of fans."
"As a fanatic fan of movies and TV series who has tasted most of the movies, can I say that I actually noticed Shang Qianyu a long time ago? You can check her updates. Although I didn't know her name at that time."
"After saying so much, is there no one who cares about who this 'noble person' Shang Qianyu is talking about? Is it this director named An Zhou?"
"No way. Shang Qianyu had directly thanked An Zhou when he attended an event before... If it was really him, why didn't he reveal his name this time? He seems to be an outsider."
"Fuck, you're not talking about your boyfriend, are you? No, I'm going to break up before it even starts."
"My urine is yellow, I'm here to wake up the people upstairs."
“…”
"By the way, have you noticed that Shang Qianyu's contracted company is the Kuiguang Group, the one that's often hyped up on the Internet."
"Oh, it's that company. That's not surprising."
"What is Kuiguang Group? What kind of company? I am just a passerby who is here to watch the movie and don't care about gossip. Please explain it to me, please don't be a riddler."
"I like to take a different approach, shoot movies with different themes, sign unknown artists, and have a company with super good internal benefits. Unfortunately, they didn't want me when I applied last time. I am really lucky to be chosen by Kuiguang."
"Hey, other companies think they have a monopoly on all resources in the entertainment industry, and they threaten artists without fear. If they don't listen to them, no matter how beautiful or capable they are, they will never be able to make it. As a result, they happen to run into a company like Kuiguang that only looks at strength, and the quality of the movies they make in the end is terrible. They deserve it."
"Why don't you just mention "Devil's Fortress" directly instead of hiding it, hahahaha."
"Speaking of this, I heard that there was some minor friction between the Kuiguang Group and the Yuefu Group recently, and it even went to court..."
…
After flipping through the most popular comments in the comment section, Yang Ruoqian's face couldn't help but darken.
The success of just one movie has attracted so many "personal fans".
The admiration for someone is manifested in a terrifying ability to monetize - this means that even if Shang Qianyu really makes a bad movie in the future, there will be audiences who will pay for her.
If Shang Qianyu had not gone to extremes and exposed shocking scandals, or if he had not produced a constant stream of bad films that wore out his fans' patience, it could be said that he had initially established a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
Actually, these things are not so bad. The bad news that Yang Ruoqian cannot accept is that with Shang Qianyu's influence, maybe he can give back to the company...
In other words, Shang Qianyu's "loss cycle" was too short, so short that President Yang had no corresponding emergency plan at all.
Other actors have to beg for help in the early stages, or use the resources of the agency to get a certain appearance rate in some blockbusters, and gradually become familiar to the audience.
In this process, all resources are not obtained for free.
If an agency wants to gain resources, it has to pay a corresponding price.
If everything goes well and the actors are slowly put into operation, they will gradually begin to get rid of this money-losing stage and enter the profit stage.
It may take several years or even decades to make any splash.
Yang Ruoqian had the same plan at the beginning - to sign Shang Qianyu to a shorter contract and make him lose money in the company, and then make a lot of money in the loss-making cycle. When Shang Qianyu became popular, the agency contract would be about to expire.
Whether she looks for a new buyer or raises the contract signing requirements at that time, it will effectively reduce or even eliminate the possibility of making a profit.
A perfect plan of making huge losses in the losing cycle and no profit in the making cycle, actually went wrong at the very beginning!
The loss cycle that was expected to last for several years turned out to be only a few months! Shang Qianyu, she made money! And she made money, so she made money. Mr. Yang made money from many junk projects, so this one is not a big deal... The key is that this girl made money and didn't keep it a secret, but actually disclosed such important information that "Kuiguang Group" could make money.
It’s troublesome when a well-known artist endorses a company.
Credit may seem illusory, but it is actually very important. Sometimes it is obvious that a project has no chance of making money, but because everyone blindly trusts it, it leads to a tragedy of making huge profits.
Similarly, sometimes a project is obviously very healthy, but because of certain things that happen, everyone loses confidence in it, and the entire project collapses, which is an enviable thing.
——The simplest example is that most healthy banks cannot redeem the savings of all depositors. In other words, if everyone goes to the bank to withdraw their deposits, the bank will not be able to redeem them.
In order to pay interest to depositors, banks must invest the depositors' money to make more money. Naturally, this invested money cannot be paid back to depositors at any time.
Everyone has confidence in banks, and even if they know about this kind of thing, they still feel safe and confident depositing their money into them.
The current Kuiguang Group is caught in a terrible crisis of trust.
Both partners and other companies that are still on the sidelines maintain an attitude of "absolute trust" in Kuiguang Group.
Follow the investment in Kuiguang Investment's projects.
Let’s do what Kui Guang did together.
If you can't squeeze in, then try your best to become the upstream and downstream of the project through various channels and get a piece of the pie.
This resulted in some projects that clearly should have failed, but ended up making profits because they inexplicably had a bunch of investments and accompanying industries that shouldn't have existed.
This further strengthened investors’ confidence…
What's even more sad is that in order to keep things under control, Mr. Yang rarely accepts invitations to cooperate, which makes other companies even more itchy.
Think about it from another perspective. If a person is walking on the street and runs into a man in a suit and tie who enthusiastically introduces how profitable a certain project is and suggests that he invest quickly, no matter how stupid or impulsive he is, he will hesitate and doubt the authenticity of this matter.
If it's really that profitable, why is it my turn?
If this person knows a low-key rich man, every project he invests in will be successful, and anyone else who wants to join will be rejected.
There shouldn't be many people who would doubt his vision and ability, right?
The current Kuiguang Group is a case of the second kind.
The more you hide your investment from other companies, the more they will rush in, and the more you will believe that this project can make money.
Once credit is established, the losses that were originally incurred are now profits.
This is how a vicious cycle begins.
"I never thought that I would fall into a credit crisis one day!" Yang Ruoqian lamented, "What should I do? How can I make everyone trust me less?"
"With the level of insanity these people have now, even if I fail in a small project occasionally, their trust in me won't decrease at all!"
"We have to suffer a big setback, a setback in both reputation and revenue, to break this vicious cycle..."
"'Wandering Blue Star', don't let me down again!"
Mr. Yang has pinned his entire fortune on the new movie "Wandering on the Blue Planet".
The choice of the female lead for this movie was also easy - it was Shang Qianyu.
Yang Ruoqian had only one requirement for the new film, which was to make it as comparable to "The Fortress" as possible.
Since "Magic City Fortress" has Lu Han, a popular star with countless fans, "Wandering Blue Planet" must also keep up and resolutely not act on its own.
"Ah, I'm still a little nervous. Let me take a look at the review section of "The Fortress of Devil City" to relieve my stress."
Thinking about this, Yang Ruoqian closed the interview page and clicked on the search bar.
Just when he was about to enter the keyword, he suddenly saw a hot search that he had not seen before appeared at the bottom of the search bar, at the tenth position.
#Many video bloggers and up hosts jointly thanked Kuiguang Group for their support# Seeing this hot search, Yang Ruoqian was stunned.
What kind of reward is this? And multiple bloggers signed the contract?
Yang Ruoqian also couldn't remember any activities he had organized like the 10 billion yuan subsidy that was lost.
Could it be that there is a genius in the company who made the decision himself?
Mr. Yang, whose anticipation was aroused, put aside the idea of reading the film review of "The Fortress" and immediately clicked on this hot search.
What comes into view is a bunch of videos with similar titles.
"Watching Titanic 2 cured my mental fatigue."
"I'm criticizing Titanic 2, the blockbuster movie of the year produced by the same investment company as The Boys."
"Objective Analysis of the Commercial Viability of Titanic 2 - How Smart is Kuiguang Group?"
"Hilarious comments on Titanic 2. This video is all about subjective emotions. Be careful!" (End of this chapter)
