China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 64: Selling Favors [Please read]

Rong Xinda was co-founded in 1995 by agent Li Xiaowan and famous director Li Shaohong. As the first company in mainland China to sign financial contracts with actors, Rong Xinda was at the forefront of the film and television industry in many aspects earlier.

Rong Xinda has developed rapidly in the past few years at the beginning of the new century, and has also made great breakthroughs in its brokerage business. It is on par with Huayi in terms of strength, and it does not have as strong a drinking culture as Huayi. It treats its artists At first it was taken very seriously.

Chen Kun signed Rong Xinda before graduating, Zhou Xun had no formal training, and Li Shaohong provided step-by-step guidance. Together with Yang Mi and others who were discovered later, they all became household names.

At the same time, the quality of Rong Xinda's self-produced dramas is also very high. She has produced popular TV dramas such as "Ci of Daming Palace", "Oranges Are Red", "April in the World", and has also made considerable achievements in movies.

However, not long after, the market changed drastically in a few years, and Rong Xinda's direction was immediately confused. Looking back, it was already behind the wave, although this wave was not a good wave.

There are no film and television dramas that are worthy of success.There are almost no self-produced dramas, and it has slowly transformed into a "pure agency".

Without the resources for film and television dramas, the resources of its artists cannot be guaranteed. The "main pillars" in the company have terminated their contracts one after another. Later, it was spread on the Internet:
"Whoever leaves Rong Xinda will become more popular."

It can be seen that for Sun Yi, signing with Rong Xinda is not a good choice in the long run. Besides, it is unknown whether Zeng Jia's say in Rong Xinda is as big as she described.

Of course, it did help him in a short period of time, but it was not of much significance.

As a reborn person, he has no shortage of film and television drama projects. In addition to Chinese, European, American, Japanese and Korean, there are many good works.

In terms of capital, he is still accumulating. I believe that it won't be long before he can turn around and even get into the market in advance before the wave of capital arrives and become a trend-setter.

Therefore, what he needs is not a film and television agent in the traditional sense, but an assistant agent who can help him maintain relationships in all aspects and take care of daily affairs.

Sun Yi didn't want too many restrictions and wanted freedom of management. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to be his own boss.

And with his current capital, it is not enough to make a veteran in the industry like Zeng Jia bow to him. Therefore, the two of them currently have no fate.

After thinking about all this, Sun Yi didn't delay and politely rejected Zeng Jia the next day. Of course, he didn't say anything to death. It's likely that it won't take long for the two of them to change their identities.

At the end of the first semester, Sun Yi was very happy for a few days. He even cooked a few meals for his parents at home. The skills he learned in his previous life were not in vain. Although the appearance looked average, the taste impressed him. My parents praised me greatly.

Taking advantage of the rare vacation, Sun Yi enrolled in a driving school. He was old enough now. He had to buy a car sooner or later. He might be even busier in the future, taking exams early and finishing things early.

I gave the coach two cigarettes and demonstrated it in front of the coach.He put the car into gear and started smoothly, reversed smoothly into the garage, and with the shock on the coach's face, he was approved to take the test directly.

The written test is actually very simple. Except for a few special question types that need to be paid attention to, just choose the safest way. As long as you are not a weird brain and follow the logical thinking of a normal person and choose the safest way, you will definitely be able to pass.

The rest includes reversing and parking, starting and stopping on slopes, right-angle turns, curved driving, side parking, and the final road test. If you take it all at once, you will have to wait to get the certificate a month later.

In the middle of the month, Deputy Director Liu of Taihe Maitian Publishing Department made a special call and asked Sun Yi to meet, saying it was about the album.

In fact, this is purely deputy director Liu's selfishness. In the two years since its establishment, Taihe Maitian has been integrating various channels and plans to make a big move in 2006 to open up a new world in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Originally, Sun Yi's album was like "a pillow delivered to them when a person is dozing off." It was just the beginning of the little diva Li Yuchun's path. Although they did go all out in publicity, privately they were not satisfied with Sun Yi's album. The album didn't hold much promise.

Since the New Year, the publicity plan has been carried out step by step. In just over half a month, the feedback from all aspects has been surprisingly good, and it is obvious that it is going to be popular. This makes Deputy Director Liu have to pay attention.

"If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade." This is obviously a treasure!

The most popular person in the company is undoubtedly Li Yuchun. If she can't produce results, she has nothing to do with him or even his deputy director Mao. If her results are good, her immediate boss will take the credit. If her results are bad, she may take the blame.

They say, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." Who doesn't want to remove the adverb from his name?

Although Sun Yi is not a signed singer of the company, he can still be considered as the one who discovered and collaborated with him. As long as the album performs well and can bring huge profits to the company, who says that it cannot "rely on foreigners to rely on itself".

The place where the two met was a very high-end Western restaurant. When he saw Sun Yi, Deputy Director Liu was smiling, as if he was seeing his nobleman.

"Xiao Yi, the survey results are out for the first wave of promotion for your album, and the feedback from all aspects is very good."

"Director Lao Liu, thank you for your trouble."

"Yes, if the album sells well, the company will also earn a share. It has only been half a month now, and the pre-sale orders received by various channel vendors are already close to 10. The [-] we ordered before, now it seems Come on, be a little conservative."

"What does Director Liu mean?"

"We have carefully studied the relevant data and should urgently print another 20 sheets before the holiday. You must know that during the Spring Festival holiday, the factory is on a long holiday. After the market is launched, once the supply is in short supply, we will not be able to print at all in a short period of time. If we can’t make up for it, the profits will be made by pirates.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Yi realized that this was indeed the case. Although he was confident about the album, he also had no doubts about the power of Chinese pirates.

20 pieces cost 5 yuan, which means another 100 million is needed.

Damn, it seems we don’t have enough money.

Sun Yi was thinking about how to collect the money. Mr. Liu seemed to see through his thoughts and said directly:

"The production costs for this batch of albums can be advanced by our company, and will be deducted from the rebates after the albums are released. All you have to do is sign a supplementary contract now. How about this? I made an exception specifically for you."

And this is a good thing. Looking at Mr. Liu in front of him, Sun Yi thought about it for a moment and realized that this was obviously a show of goodwill to him and a personal favor.

Sun Yi saw clearly that China is a human society, and no one can avoid it. Besides, this is something that is beneficial to him, so there is no reason to refuse.

"Thank you very much, Director Liu. I will have to trouble Director Liu when it comes to music in the future."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

After hearing this, Deputy Director Liu laughed heartily. What he wanted was the last sentence of Sun Yi.

　Please read it, recommend it, and collect it.
