Chapter 76 Heroes
On June 6th, after the final exams of Beijing Film Academy, Jiang Changsheng came to Tianya Entertainment Company for the first time, he approached Ye Guobin and said, "I have finished my retreat.

Is there a suitable drama appointment for the second half of the year? "

Tianya Entertainment has been established for two years. Ye Guobin is now focusing on managing the company, and the artist management has been handed over to other managers in the company.

Only Jiang Changsheng's brokerage contract was still on his side.

Ye Guobin made a cup of tea for Jiang Changsheng and said with a smile, "You came to the company on your own initiative. You are such a rare visitor. I haven't seen you for almost half a year."

Jiang Changsheng took a sip of tea, and purposely joked, "That's because you, the manager, are incompetent and left me alone."

"Really, then I will arrange some things for you to do? You never participate in commercial performances. Do you know how much your commercial performances cost now?"

"How high."

"From 40, just sing a song. If you are willing to participate in the dinner, the price can be as high as 150 million, a female boss." Ye Guobin winked at Jiang Changsheng: "The female boss is not bad, and she is worth more than [-] million, you consider consider?"

Jiang Changsheng laughed loudly: "Brother Bin, I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to become degenerate."

The environment changes people. When Ye Guobin first started the company two years ago, he was still a serious person. He has been in the circle for two years, and now he is having a good time.

Because of this, Zheng Shuangling often felt emotional in front of Jiang Changsheng.

Ye Guobin's family relationship is very strong, his own ability is very strong, and with the help of Jiang Changsheng, Tianya Entertainment is now one of the top entertainment companies in the industry.

Jiang Changsheng didn't ask how many artists the company signed, but he knew that the company signed Li Binbin, which was also what Zheng Shuangling said.

Because when Li Binbin was working with Ye Guobin, he was bumped into by Ye Guobin's wife.

This is not a big deal, Li Binbin has no intention of being a leader for the time being, Ye Guobin's position is very clear, even if he is just playing outside, his wife just turns a blind eye and endures it.

The Zheng family and the Ye family have always been in contact. Zheng Shuangling, as the person who guided Ye Guobin to open an entertainment company, was inevitably complained by Ye Guobin's wife.

But there is not much resentment, because after Ye Guobin founded the entertainment company, although he was a little extravagant, his income was ten times and a hundred times what he used to be a teacher.

His wife spent the money very happily.

Ye Guobin said: "If you don't come to me today, I will also go to you. I just received a call this morning. Someone invited you to act in a movie, the leading actor of a big production."

Hearing about the movie, Jiang Changsheng was not very interested.

These days, the number of people watching movies is relatively small, and making movies can increase your reputation and social status, but Jiang Changsheng doesn't need these, he only cares about popularity.

It is more cost-effective to make TV dramas.

He still asked, "What movie?"

"Heroes! Director Zhang Yimou's film will feature big names in the industry, including Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, and Chen Daoming. Director Zhang invites you to play the leading role, Wuming!"

Ye Guobin was very excited, he talked endlessly about the benefits of acting in this movie.

Jiang Changsheng was very calm all the time, Ye Guobin came to his senses and asked in surprise, "You don't want to act?"

"Apart from movies, are there any TV shows?"

Ye Guobin was silent for a while, and said: "Yes, the company has cast a drama, Love Through Time and Space, the heroine is Li Binbin, and the male lead is Xu Zheng. If you want to act, the male lead will be given to you."

Love Through Time and Space is the first TV series with a time-traveling love theme in mainland China. Jiang Changsheng remembers that it was very popular after it was broadcast in his previous life, and Ye Guobin had a good eye.

Jiang Changsheng asked in a rare way: "The company has invested in several dramas now, is there enough funds?"

"The funds are sufficient. When the company was established, I first invested 150 million yuan, and Tianya's parent company successively contributed 225 million yuan. We successively invested in TV series such as Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair, Li Wei as an Official, Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind, etc. Although the investment share is not large, the returns are high.

Coupled with the income sharing of signed artists, the company's cash flow is very healthy.

Now the company has invested in three dramas, one Wutongyu, which invested 200 million, accounting for 30%, and Li Xiaoran as the heroine, and a passionate year, which invested 150 million, accounting for 13%.

The last one is Love Through Time and Space. This company is the lead investor, with a total investment of 1000 million. We contributed 550 million, accounting for 55%.

After casting these three dramas, there is still 430 million cash flow in the company's account.

I also found a relationship and got a loan of 800 million from the bank, which has not been used. "

Jiang Changsheng helped Li Xiaoran to choose the TV series Wutong Yu. This TV series was also set in the Republic of China. The ratings in the previous life were very good, which can help Li Xiaoran consolidate his popularity.

The current cost of filming TV dramas is not high. The cost of an episode is basically between 15 and 30 yuan, and costume dramas will be a little higher.

Not every producer can be as wealthy as Yangshi, who spent 3000 million yuan filming Swordsman, a total of 40 episodes, with an average of 75 yuan per episode.

Jiang Changsheng nodded, and said: "Meet with Director Zhang as soon as possible, and talk face to face. I'm curious why he asked me to play the male lead.

From my personal preference, I prefer the love that travels through time and space. "

The movie Hero is very good. It is the first commercial blockbuster in mainland China. Although the plot of the movie is weak and has caused a lot of controversy in China, the picture, color and artistic conception are indeed top-notch.

Especially the overseas box office, reaching 1.39 million yuan, will still rank second in Chinese films by 2023, second only to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The film was also named No.2004 of the top ten best films in the world in 1 by the American Time Magazine.

Being able to star in such a movie is a huge improvement for any actor.

But Jiang Changsheng really didn't care about these things, what he valued was popularity.

Exercise acting skills in school retreat, one is to improve work efficiency, and the other is to improve the quality of works, so as to gain popularity better, not for the big screen.

What kind of coffee position, net worth, awards, these things that everyone in the entertainment industry is fighting for, are not important to Jiang Changsheng.

Zhang Yimou happened to be in Yanjing, and Jiang Changsheng met this famous director that night.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Changsheng asked straight to the point: "I have never acted in a movie, why did Director Zhang choose me as the leading actor?"

Zhang Yimou looked bored when he was not talking, but when he spoke, he was full of momentum. He said: "I watched your performance at the Beijing Film Academy celebration last year, and it was amazing! Really, it was amazing!"

"Your ancient costume looks so handsome, and your sword dance moves are extremely chic! I thought at the time, I must ask you to act in a movie, and now the opportunity has come!"

Jiang Changsheng showed a polite smile on his face: "Director Zhang, let's get straight to the point, your movie is a big production with a strong cast, investors and overseas capital, and it's going international.

Your hero should be Cheng Long or Li Lianjie, not me. Where did I catch your attention? "
