Chapter 296: Help Dingyun to set up the brokerage business
Han Yuqi plans to make a comeback, and some people in the circle have guessed it. Han Yuqi suddenly became active in the social event in the circle a few days ago. That was a very obvious sign.
Li Qi even knew that Han Yuqi was going to announce her comeback within this week, but this obviously conclusive news did not work.
While eating at home, Li Qi couldn't help but talk about this.
Geng Zhi has never met Han Yuqi himself, but as a part of the entertainment industry, he knows this person.
He has no choice but to know him!
Han Yuqi has been popular in the circle for more than ten years and has always been very hard-working. It is said that in the most exaggerated years, she made ten movies a year, and they are all heroines.
The battle is just one aspect of Han Yuqi's reputation. The reason why she really became the top actress in the circle is that she won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress nomination for eight consecutive times in ten years, including three of which. She won the other domestic awards.
It is said that she filmed her trophy showroom in the show before she retired from the film industry, which was very large. There were at least 300 trophys, including 100 best-season trophysical film festivals at home and abroad.
Han Yuqi has been in the ranks of first-line artists in just three years since she entered the industry. She held the endorsements of many top brands in her hands, which made a group of female artists breathless. It was not until she suddenly announced that she would retire from the film industry that some female artists began to get out of her shadow.
However, Geng Zhi didn't care too much.
Although Han Yuqi was once the number one sister in China, she has also retired from the film industry for three years. Besides, she is already thirty-five, and perhaps there are still many big fans waiting for her to make a comeback. But Geng Zhi feels that Geng’s female artists may not be much worse than her in terms of acting skills.
He smiled and said, "Whether she is going to make a comeback has nothing to do with us. It is better to think about "The Siege of October" which will be broadcast soon. In addition, it seems that "The Voice of China" is almost ready to be broadcast."
Talk about Dingyun’s work.
Li Qi also smiled. This year, Dingyun produced several more TV series and programs than last year. This is a gratifying change.
"I look pretty good at "October Siege". Although it is definitely not as popular as "The Tang Dynasty", the ratings should be unsatisfactory. As long as the ratings of this film are acceptable, the Billion Club will have a good foundation when it starts. As for the program "The Voice", I am not worried."
When she said this, her eyes turned and asked, "By the way, "Crazy Stone" seems to be finished. You said you planned to be released during the summer vacation. Which day do you plan to premiere?"
"What do you think?" Geng Zhi said with a smile. "When will "Best Military Advisor" be released?"
"This year, universities across the country should start holidays on July 12th. I plan to start broadcasting on July 12th." After the exam, students always want to relax. And at that time, students were also relatively rich and available.
"The Crazy Stone will be released on July 26th. It seems like it was Friday."
"Okay, I'll let you arrange it." One of the two movies has just finished its initial editing, and the other has just started post-production. Schedule arrangements such as filming have not yet begun.
However, the two movies are definitely the focus of Dingyun's release during the summer vacation.
Li Qi also said, "The box office share of "Crazy Racing" overseas has been received. Tomorrow you will have someone to come to Dingyun for handover."
Geng Zhi didn't care much either.
The movie "Crazy Racing" was not successfully released overseas. Although it has been released in more than 30 countries, and although it has a box office of 25 times the production fee in China as a publicity stunt, the Chinese-Chinese local atmosphere of the movie is too strong and the overseas market is very low.
In the end, the overseas box office was only over 10 million US dollars. Geng’s share was probably more than 10 million Chinese yuan. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.
The overseas box office of "Crazy Racing" is far less than that of another movie "Fengyun Inn" promoted by Dingyun. The overseas box office of "Fengyun Inn" exceeded 120 million US dollars.
Geng Zhi agreed, "I will let the finance department go to Dingyun tomorrow. By the way, if Dingyun doesn't engage in talent shows, it's time to find a few male artists with potential. Dingyun's male artists are now, and they can't be famous for singing, and acting even more so. You can't just do that."
Li Qi has no choice but to do this. "The company is also clamoring about the whole problem. Some people suggest that they continue to train themselves. Some people say that poaching people is more cost-effective."
"What about you? What do you think?"
"I also tend to continue to train myself, but it is not easy to find artists with real potential." Since I need to train myself, I naturally cannot find famous artists. "Catative students in comedy schools are of course the largest talent pool. But we are just starting to buy now, and we can't compete with other entertainment companies in this regard."
Today's art candidates either acted before going to college or found some teachers to conduct pre-exam special training before the art exam.
Those candidates who have acted in the show before have either already had an agency or have been stared at. And those training teachers are usually associated with entertainment companies, and candidates with potential have long fallen into the eyes of those companies.
Dingyun had no such layout before, and it was not easy to find potential students.
Geng Zhi thought for a while and said, "Although Yucheng Drama Academy is not famous in China, there are still a few artists who have made their debut."
Li Qi understood what he wanted to say, shook her head and said, "Yucheng Drama Theater is not good." Yucheng Drama Theater also has Ding Yun's sponsorship. She also has some understanding of that school. "It's all the crooked melons and jujubes that have been picked up by others!"
Geng Zhi laughed and said, "Since you want to choose an actor, you can't just look at the appearance. Look at Yang Peng, he is not very handsome, and his acting skills are different. What Ding Yun needs now is to cultivate outstanding artists to prove that Ding Yun has the ability to cultivate artists."
The Yucheng Theater's student source is indeed not good. Art candidates with good looks usually apply for those famous theaters.
The entertainment industry has become popular a few years ago, and many schools have intentionally or unintentionally opened art majors with super high renewals.
But the source of students is really not good, and there is no background.
It is difficult for those students who graduate from schools to make a comeback. As the saying goes, connections in the entertainment industry are very important, and even determine whether a person can gain a foothold in this circle. Even the opportunity to be implicitly ruled requires connections.
Those famous drama academies have a lot of connections in the circle. After graduation, there are more artists, directors, and many alumni in the circle, and many more opportunities.
That is also the reason why the students with the best qualifications have flocked to those prestigious universities.
Who doesn’t want to become famous for those famous universities? What they see when signing a contract is not only the company’s reputation, but also the company’s ability to cultivate artists.
If a company is large in scale, but the newcomer has almost no chance to make a debut, or if the company is large but has not cultivated a talented artist on its own, then there must be many concerns when signing the contract.
So far, Dingyun has only two or three artists who can make a name for themselves, and they are all female artists. There are vague signs that Chen Wei still has a foundation in her own right. There are also two female artists who participated in some variety shows and played several roles after filming "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". But they have also become known.
But that is far from enough to the real ambition.
In fact, in Geng Zhi's opinion, as long as he finds a potential artist, Ding Yun has a strong ability to create stars.
He smiled and advised her, "Don't ask too much! As long as it has a good potential and a good character, it is worth cultivating."
"Then I'll let someone look for it. If you find the same seedlings, you will sign a few." Li Qi felt that she was indeed a little too demanding. But that was also Geng Zhi's fault.
The artists he found were very good, which made her vision much higher.
Geng Zhi thought for a while and said, "Or what, I'll ask Bai Wei and Zong Keren to help you pay attention. Their vision is pretty good. If you sign a contract, just give them some recommendation fee."
