Chen Mengxi used to be involved in the screenwriter circle and never dealt with big actors.

So, he doesn't know how to get along with the actors...

I don't even know how artists manage.

I only know that the company's resources should be arranged to the company's artists as much as possible!

Only with their works can they realize their commercial value and the company also makes money...

Also, artists become popular and dramas are even better.

After all, TV stations buy dramas and watch stars, not plots...

Therefore, Chen Mengxi attaches great importance to its artists. In addition to Yuan Hong, his contract expires soon...

Tang Ren signed in 2004, and the 10-year contract expired. I guess I don’t want to renew the contract anymore...

How to continue?

With Hu Ge here, he will always be the second choice. Many times, even the second choice is not considered a choice. Cai Yinong would rather find a Taiwanese student.

After Mengxi acquired Tang Ren, there were more resources, but there were more competition. Zhu Yawen, Wang Kai, Zhang Luyi, Chen Xiao, Wang Lei, and now Guo Jingfei, Lei Jiayin...

Except for Lei Jiayin, they are all handsome and have acting skills!

If Guo Jingfei covers his face with bumps, he will be a standard handsome guy.

Actress, plus Zhao Liying and Wan Qian, that is the seven golden flowers!

Only these people will not take ten years to join together in five years and make a TV series. The cost of a single episode alone will be around 20 million - all of them are paid!

...

Hengdian, Chen Mengxi obtained the preliminary budget for "Before Dawn" and took a look. The total cost was not as high as 60 million...

"Director Chen's salary is 250,000 yuan per episode, and Chen Baoguo's 250,000 yuan... It's really cheap!"

Li Yiping was shocked: "Is this cheap?"

"250,000 episodes are very cheap, these are all top actors!"

So this era is really good. The top actors have guaranteed ratings and the single-episode pay is only 250,000 yuan...

Yang 80 million Tianbao does not exist at all!

"...I want to make Zhang Guoli, Wang Zhiwen also adds a piece to make up for the mainland version of F4!"

"Mainland version of F4?"

"These four actors can represent the level of middle-aged male actors in mainland China, and their acting skills are both excellent!"

Li Yiping didn't want to talk about this topic: "...You don't know that the project was launched before Dawn, and those kids wanted to play this drama!"

"I know, this drama is scheduled for CCTV's 2010 opening drama!"

"CCTV?"

"We rejected it..."

“…What do you think?”

"There are many supporting roles, let them collectively show off their faces and act in a serious drama, which will be helpful for their acting skills!"

"Forget it, Hu Ge, his schedule for next year is over!"

"Well, "Painted Skin", "The Beautiful Era of a Wife", "The Sound of the Wind", "The Sword of Fairy III"..."

"And there is "Ip Man 2"..."

Chen Mengxi didn't care: "The capable ones work harder. Originally, he didn't need to act in "The Beautiful Times of Wife". He insisted on going to audition, saying that he wanted to broaden the way of acting..."

"Where are Wang Kai and the others?"

"They are not in a hurry. Our company has more than a dozen projects, suitable ones, and you can choose any one!"

Li Yiping asked again: "Who are you looking for in the heroine of "Before Dawn"?"

"In that drama, the heroine has no presence, she is a silly and sweet person... she can play any actor."

"That's the problem. You can play any actress..."

"Who do you think is suitable?"

"Give it to Liying or Wan Qian, Liying can only play a small supporting role for more than two years..."

Chen Mengxi shook her head: "...Don't, her lines are a bit poor and her pronunciation is not clear. You can sign her up for a performance training class and let her continue to play supporting roles. After half a year, take a role of the second or third female lead for her... Let's give Wan Qian "Before Dawn!"

"Okay, I'll inform you right away...whether Yang Xiaomi?"

"She has "Sword III" this year, isn't it enough for "Kintaro's Happy Life"?"

"Okay, I'll go and tell them..." Li Yiping was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something: "I found two people, Liang Yan and Zhao Shan. They have worked in the industry for a while and are very suitable for leading artists..."

"I see…"

...

Chen Mengxi really has no interest in artist agents, and he only knows that Mengxi Company already has more than 20 brand partners.

The spokespersons signed by these brands must be the artists under Mengxi.

This is the benefit of big-name companies!

If there are too many artists, then manage them in groups, learn from Huayi, and follow the customization model, divide the stars into several groups. Each group has a big agent to take over the job and position themselves. The company will give a certain amount of investment and recover the corresponding profits.

No one brother or one sister...

Of course, the outside world generally believes that Mengxi’s number one brother is Hu Ge, and the number one sister is Yang Xiaomi.

Hengdian, restaurant, Chen Mengxi invited a group of actors to dinner...

"Boss, when will "Before Dawn" be aired?"

"The year after tomorrow, CCTV will be broadcast... Don't worry, it won't be the same as our drama."

Speaking of this, Chen Mengxi glanced at Zhu Yawen: "But Yawen is miserable!"

"What's wrong?"

"Your "Snow Leopard" was broadcast on Shaanxi Life Channel and four sets in Beijing, with good ratings. So, I have scheduled a big show for the start of next year and it will run into another show produced by our company!"

Zhu Yawen quickly asked: "…what drama?"

"The Temptation of Going Home, this drama should set a good ratings record!"

Yang Xiaomi asked: "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Family ethics, a very bloody drama..."

Lei Jiayin suddenly raised his hand: "I have a role."

“…You’ve acted?”

Chen Mengxi was shocked...

"I play Lin Pinru's brother, Lin Yide!"

Chen Mengxi was a little embarrassed and explained: "...that drama was adapted from the Korean drama "The Temptation of Wife". Our company's first drama to win the Korean annual ratings championship, and then was spotted by Mango TV and adapted together. I am the producer of the name and didn't participate much at all..."

Suddenly I felt like I had become Huang Zhongjun - Original Time and Space. Zhu Yawen starred in "Red Sorghum" and made him completely famous. Then Huang Zhongjun wanted to sign him. After asking, he found out that Zhu Yawen was an actor under Huayi...

"Take it slow, I promise, you will all be popular!"

Yuan Hong suddenly asked: "Boss, what kind of actors do you say are considered popular?"

"What do you think?"

"have no idea…"

"Liying, what do you think?"

Zhao Liying shook her head: "I don't know either..."

"The industry's definition of red is to mention your name. TV stations will carefully consider the TV series you participate in... The outside world's definition of red is very vague. There is a definition that is to have a high exposure, theaters, newspapers, radio stations, movies, and TV. Now the Internet is becoming the mainstream exposure platform."

"But exposure cannot determine everything. Compared to Zhang Xueyou, the princess has very little news. Can you say that they are not popular now? They rely on their ability to output their works."

"I think it's better to have a work first, at least you have to successfully create a role that is familiar to the audience! This depends on luck. Many actors become popular not because of their acting skills, but because their appearance and acting style are exactly in line with the role. Then the play is well written and the audience likes it. The drama becomes popular and the role becomes popular, so they will naturally become famous."

"So, I always feel that acting is not as good as the best, and perfect fit for the role is the first element!"

"From this perspective, Hu Ge is already very popular! After all, he has Li Xiaoyao..."

Hu Ge took the initiative to defend himself: "I don't think it's very popular..."

"It means you are motivated. As an actor, as long as you don't lie on the credit card and your acting skills will increase day by day with your age and experience. Then you will seize the opportunity again and again, and you will naturally become a star-studded star in the entertainment industry."
