Chapter 8 The title of "Star Girl" is indeed valuable
"Print media including Beijing Youth Daily and online media including NetEase News will promote our drama throughout the entire process." Lin Yicheng nodded.
"If you two don't believe me, we can write this into the contract."
The female agent surnamed Fei believed it. The two media mentioned were not third-rate media but were quite influential in the mainland.
"I also have some media connections here, and I can help with publicity when the time comes."
After hearing what Zong Shuai said, the female agent named Fei's expression became even better.
She actually knew that although Star Entertainment held the trump card of Stephen Chow, he was too slow in filming, especially in recent years, when he only started filming once every few years.
People in the company need to eat, and the artist with the greatest potential to become popular right now is Huang Shengyi.
If what the producer just said can be achieved, it will be of great benefit to Huang Shengyi personally and to Star Shine Company.
The more popular Huang Shengyi is, the better, so that she can take on more dramas and bring more profits to the company.
As an agent, she can also get a share of the pie.
I had concerns about this drama before, for one thing, it has a new director and there are no big names in the crew.
What I am more concerned about is that the current film pay in the mainland is still too low compared to that in Hong Kong and Taiwan. How can you earn so little in two months compared to the much more money you can earn quickly by shooting a few commercials or participating in a few commercial performances?
……
Thinking of this, the female agent surnamed Fei said, "What about the pay?"
Lin Yicheng was reluctant to speak up about this. After all, he would be a colleague with Huang Shengyi in the crew in the future. It would be inappropriate to say too much or too little, as it would easily cause resentment.
"Our offer is 1 per episode. Ms. Huang's role is approximately 20 episodes, a total of 20," said Zhou Chenggong.
"No, it's too low." The female agent surnamed Fei shook her head, "We don't see sincerity. You know, if Eva was filming in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she would not be paid less than 5 Hong Kong dollars per episode."
"But we have invested in media publicity resources, which also has costs," Zhou Chenggong retorted.
"Eva is a star girl. Stephen Chow will make her a popular actress in Asia. We are offering 5 yuan because of Zongsheng's kindness. With Eva joining us, you can sell the drama at a higher price."
"I have no doubt about Mr. Zhou Xingchi's influence in Asia, and I believe his new film will achieve good results. But one thing is that whether it is Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, or Zhu Yin, their fame has not increased that much after starring in Mr. Zhou Xingchi's films."
"Mr. Zhou's movie protagonist is always himself, and the audience pays more attention to him. Moreover, we are not considering markets outside the mainland for this drama for the time being."
Without waiting for the female agent named Fei to speak, Zhou Chenggong threw out an important bargaining chip.
"And as far as we know, although Miss Huang is the leading actress in Mr. Zhou's new movie, she doesn't have many scenes, and even less than Ms. Yuan Qiu. It remains to be seen how famous Miss Huang will become through this movie."
This time, the female agent surnamed Fei was really surprised. As an agent, she naturally knew that this was true.
But how did these mainlanders know about this? Last year, Stephen Chow secretly started filming the movie, and kept the specific plot and roles strictly confidential to the outside world.
The female agent named Fei took a deep look at Lin Yicheng, and her speculation about his identity and background increased a bit.
It seems that this handsome guy is very popular in the mainland!
……
Why did Zhou Chenggong know this?
Of course it was Lin Yicheng who told him.
But there is no need to explain to Huang Shengyi and the female agent surnamed Fei.
The female agent surnamed Fei was silent for a moment.
"4, it can't be any lower."
"Twenty thousand, this is our bottom line."
The female agent named Fei was engaged in a verbal battle with Zhou Chenggong, while Lin Yicheng and the other three drank tea in silence, as if staying out of the matter.
Lin Yicheng discovered something interesting. It seemed that this senior sister Huang had only said one sentence since she entered the room.
Is she introverted by nature? Or does she have little say in this matter, or in the company? Obviously, it is the latter.
Lin Yicheng couldn't help but think, it's no wonder that the lawsuit had to be filed within two years.
This senior student is also a strong-willed person. After being oppressed for so long, she must be dissatisfied. As the dissatisfaction accumulates, she will naturally resist.
I just don't know if she would have a falling out with Stephen Chow in the future due to the influence of this butterfly of mine.
Furthermore, if he had not fallen out with Zhou Xingchi, would Yangzi have had the opportunity to pick up a hoe and poach his talents?
Going a step further, will the movie "Legend of Fahai" appear? Will the "coming from heaven and earth" meme be born again?
Lin Yicheng was thinking about Senior Huang, and Senior Huang was also looking at him frequently without noticing.
To be honest, she had heard of this junior whom she just met today.
Even when the crew of "Kung Fu" was filming last year, they bought Lin Yicheng's novel.
While waiting for the show, I read a few novels by Lin Yicheng and I quite liked the content of those novels.
After all, which girl doesn’t have spring in her heart? Who hasn’t had an innocent yet beautiful admiration?
Zong Shuai played a part in the reason why she and her agent were able to come to Beijing for an interview this time.
The key is that Huang Shengyi herself has no objection and has the intention.
Although her words might not be very useful. If she herself had no intention, and her agent was not optimistic about it, why would she come all the way here?
Zong Shuai carefully observed some details about the female agent named Fei. Although he is now Lin Yicheng's agent, his main job is still in the media.
However, now Zong Shuai has seen the prospects of the film and television industry and has initially planned to switch to become an entertainment agent.
The female agent named Fei is undoubtedly a role model for him to learn from.
The three people here each had their own thoughts, and over there, the quarrel between Zhou Chenggong and the female agent named Fei became quieter, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
……
"50, one price, we will pay it off in three installments." Zhou Chenggong insisted and would not back down.
"Okay, but I want the media publicity you promised before to be written into the contract." The female agent named Fei hesitated and stopped arguing.
"No problem, we can sign the contract now." Zhou Chenggong stood up and shook hands with the female agent named Fei.
"It's a pleasure working with you, senior sister." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.
"Well, it's a pleasure working with you, junior." Huang Shengyi also smiled and shook hands with Lin Yicheng.
The contract had already been prepared. After adding some numbers and details, the female agent named Fei confirmed that it was correct and Huang Shengyi signed her name.
You know what, my senior sister’s handwriting is quite beautiful.
The cooperation was reached, and Zong Shuai suggested that everyone have a meal together.
But I don’t know if it was due to some considerations, Huang Shengyi did not accept the invitation.
I guess it’s because she needs to create an image of a pure and innocent girl, and there can’t be any possibility of scandal?
The meal was quite pleasant. During the meal, the female agent named Fei tried to find out Lin Yicheng's identity and background in various roundabout ways.
He glossed over all of them. Seeing that there was really no way to get the answer, the female agent surnamed Fei stopped forcing them.
Mao’s background, the reason why I can succeed is all due to my own efforts!
Alas, it’s a pity that there is no dark blue, so I can’t add any.
