  Chapter 994 An artist who doesn’t want to start a personal studio

   "That's right, if you can convince Tomorrow Video to cooperate with several mainstream video sites, our Celebrity Group will join."

   Regarding CEO Qi's approach, Zhou An'an still expressed his affirmation, but he did not refute General Manager Feng's face, and gave a solution.

  Cooperation is cooperation, and he will not let his personal feelings affect the specific interests of the company.

  The organizers of the TV festival are basically for the sake of gaining fame, and there is basically no possibility of making a profit. However, the Condor Award has always been covered by Nanhu TV, and it hardly makes much money.

  Just like this Condor Award, according to the news from the organizer, the investment was more than 20 million, but a total of 22 million was recovered from advertising, live broadcast copyright, and ticket revenue.

  Have worked so hard to prepare for half a year, with such a large investment, with only such a small amount of revenue, there is still a great risk of loss, so let’s make a move.

   It seems that in a few years, the Condor Awards will face a storm of losses, and there were even rumors of its suspension, which shows that there is really no way to make money from running this TV festival.

  If several mainstream video sites are willing to cooperate, have enough influence, and can sell some copyright fees for webcasting, then the celebrity group will pay for the huge expenses of the TV festival for the sake of attracting traffic.

  Everyone shares the loss together, not so much.

   "OK, I'll talk to them."

  Seeing that the major shareholder let go, Feng Jiming didn't care about the difficulty of achieving the conditions, and agreed without hesitation.

  He believes that several mainstream video sites must have the need to gain fame, and Tomorrow Video, which is not bad for money, is one of the best.

  Besides, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t succeed, if it’s a big deal, it’s not going to happen. Anyway, it’s not him who called out Blue Whale Entertainment to hold a TV festival.

   "If you have nothing to do, don't bother me."

  After a few storms last night and being woken up by the biological clock in the morning, Zhou Anan, who didn't know and didn't want to guess the inner thoughts of General Manager Feng, was a little tired, so he put on the blindfold and got ready to rest.

  General Manager Feng, who originally wanted to exchange more information with the major shareholder, didn't bother him when he saw this, and looked at the Huahua magazine in his hand with peace of mind.

  Compared to the major shareholder who exercises regularly and is of a suitable weight, Feng Jiming, who has been overweight all the time, does not work so hard at night, otherwise he would not be able to manage the huge blue whale.

  The plane landed smoothly in Tanzhou, Nanhu Province. There are very few incidents such as hijackings and air crashes on the inland routes of China. Counting the probability of accidents in one year, it is basically the safest means of transportation in the inland.

  As soon as they exited the VIP channel of the airport, the staff at the front station arranged more than a dozen high-end commercial vehicles to pick them up and send them to the hotel for a rest.

  Some artists under the company are being interviewed by the media and besieged by fans to maintain the necessary exposure. As the company's top executives, Zhou An'an and others left first and went to the hotel.

   Now there is still half a day left before the so-called red carpet and award ceremony. The things that I waited for in the past will only happen to small companies and 18th-line celebrity artists without managers.

   "Drip dong."

  Just sitting down to rest in his presidential suite, Zhou Anan heard the doorbell ring, and he signaled the beautiful secretary to open the door too lazy to move.

   "Is Mr. Zhou here?"

  Seeing Special Assistant Huang who opened the door, Liu Feifei, who knew him but was not familiar with him, froze for a moment, then asked with a smile.

   "Yes, please come in, Ms. Liu."

   Seeing the female artist in front of her who was called "Sister Tianxian" by netizens, Huang Ying knew it, and invited her in with a smile.

   "Are you coming to the awards ceremony too?"

  Seeing the fairy sister who can make people pleasing just by looking at her face, Zhou Anan patted the sofa next to her, and gave a thumbs up to the beautiful secretary who walked to the room very wittily.

  He thought that the other party would not come to this TV festival. After all, Liu Tianxian, who was going to transform into a big screen, had no TV series released last year, so naturally he shouldn't come here.

   "I am the Goddess of the Condor in the last session, come to give the Golden Crown of the Goddess of the Condor to my good sister."

  Sitting next to the other party naturally, Liu Feifei explained with a smile.

"yes?"

  Holding sister Tianxian's slender waist, Zhou Anan leaned into her ear and asked softly.

  Today, Liu Tianxian is wearing a simple white and blue dress with tender white legs without stockings. She has a kind of pure school beauty temperament, which is very suitable for those small and fresh boyhood-themed movies.

  If the relationship between everyone improved earlier, in those years of cooperation with Mingli Film and Television of Taiwan Island Province, the heroine could have played the role of Tianxian sister, and the effect should be better.

  Naturally, enjoying the tenderness of the other party at this moment is also a special taste.

   "I came today to ask you a question."

  After a long time, Liu Feifei took a breath and pushed the opponent's front with her hands, keeping a little distance, exhaling Ruolan and talking about today's purpose.

"what is the problem?"

  Seeing Sister Tianxian's serious expression, her blushing face became more and more lovely, Zhou Anan suppressed the deer in her heart, and poured her a glass of warm water.

"My aunt asked me to focus on the big screen, but last year's filming of The King of Kung Fu was not satisfactory, and I didn't think it was suitable for that style. But now, female artists in the big screen circle have different styles, but those who really walk out of themselves One way, not many"

   Talking about her experience of being away from the small screen for more than a year, Liu Feifei couldn't help being confused, which made the man feel distressed when he saw it.

   "Get out of your own style, isn't it too early to think about this at your age?"

  Hearing Sister Tianxian's troubles, Zhou Anan asked back.

In fact, according to the trajectory of the previous life, this fairy sister is basically gone on the road of beating girls. From the beginning of the Kung Fu King, to the famous arrest series, and then to Hua Mulan, it is a pity that she has always been in a tepid state. The embarrassing position of fire.

   Occasionally starred in some idol drama type love movies, but the result was still a complete failure, and was complained by countless netizens about his embarrassing acting skills.

  Suddenly looking back, I wanted to re-consolidate my position on the small screen, only to find that female artists such as Mi Mi, Shi Shi, Xiao Di and other latecomers had already occupied the top.

   It can be said that Liu Tianxian's positioning on the big screen has been wrong since the very beginning.

   It's just that the cute and fairy image on the small screen will definitely not be able to go far on the big screen.

  Among movie actresses, the easiest way to become famous is naturally the emotional style like Black Widow and Mira, which can impress the audience at a glance, but Liu Feifei can't do this type.

   Playing the female route may be the choice of Liu Feifei in desperation.

   But this path has long been proved by the decline of female hit stars in Hong Kong City. This is a road that is no longer suitable for the film market in the new century. To be a hit girl, you have to be as emotional and capable as Mira.

   As for Liu Tianxian, her good looks make her popular, but her figure is not as attractive as European and American actresses, so she is destined to be unsuitable for this path.

   What's more, in the next few decades, China's domestic film market will still be dominated by male stars, while female stars are mostly decorations.

   This road is full of thorns.

   "It's getting late, the peak period of my face is only a few years old, should I wait until I'm over 30 before considering what route to take?"

  Holding her playful and lovely face with both hands, Liu Feifei, who is very aware of her advantages, stares at her with big eyes.

  If she has passed the peak of her appearance, it will be even more difficult to find a suitable position.

  She discussed this topic with her aunt, but she asked her to ask the behind-the-scenes shareholder of Blue Whale Entertainment.

"Based on the market in our country, it is really impossible to set a course for those under the age of 30. The audience will always be tired of looking at beautiful women with a pure course. If you want to change the way, if you want to take the Hollywood course, there will be no way for your skin color. It’s a big prejudice, and it’s hard to change in a short period of time. If you want to become the heroine in a Hollywood movie, unless our Huaxia becomes an important ticket holder in the world, or…”

  Seeing this Liu Tianxian's serious expression, Zhou An'an also retracted his arms around the other's slender waist, and began to analyze seriously.

   "Or what?"

   Listening to the other party speaking halfway, Liu Feifei looked at the other party with piercing eyes.

   "Or someone will invest and create a Hollywood movie just for you. However, our Blue Whale does not have the strength to enter Hollywood yet."

  Looking at Liu Tianxian's innocent and delicate face, Zhou Anan realized that women are born to be good at acting.

   Co-authored, just waiting for him to speak this sentence.

  Unfortunately, he is destined to disappoint Sister Tianxian.

  Even the two major Chinese kung fu superstars failed to win the box office and the Red Willow Goddess. The current Chinese actresses rushing into Hollywood can only end in a crushing defeat.

   As for talking about spending a lot of money and only smiling for Pomeranians, Zhou An'an still can't do that.

   Today's Blue Whale is not what he said.

  Money does not come from the wind.

   "Well, I haven't thought about asking you to make a movie just for me. I just heard that your company is planning to implement the artist studio system. I want to be affiliated with Blue Whale, is that okay?"

   It seemed to be the expected answer, the disappointment in Liu Feifei's eyes flashed away, and then she took the initiative to hold the other's arm and talked about another purpose.

   "How do you know about the artist studio?"

  Hearing Tianxian's sister's question, Zhou An'an couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

   It seems that he just talked about the establishment of the artist studio with General Manager Feng yesterday. Doesn’t Liu Tianxian from Blue Whale Entertainment know about it? ?

  Although there are no secrets in the entertainment circle, it spread too fast.

   "Most of the artists under Blue Whale have already received the company's draft for comments. It's not surprising that I know it. Tell me, do you agree to accept me?"

   Didn't say where she heard it from, Liu Feifei continued to use her beauty advantages, shaking the other party's arm, and asked playfully.

   "All right, all right, I'll sign you into the company."

   Facing such a coquettish offensive from Sister Tianxian, Zhou Anan had no resistance, and agreed.

  He didn't expect that General Manager Feng's execution ability is so strong. He only mentioned the artist studio yesterday during the day, and he sent a letter of inquiry to the artists of the company that day.

   It was spread to the ears of other companies, and I don’t know if it will cause a chain reaction.

   As for Liu Tianxian's own contract issue, Zhou An'an was not worried. Since the other party would make this request, that conscientious aunt had already settled it.

   "So what's the first project in our studio?"

   Blinking her eyes, Liu Feifei asked curiously.

   "If you serve the king well, you will have a project."

   Lifting that delicate chin, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Anan's mouth.

   "My lord, what do you want your concubine to do?"

  As night fell, the South Lake at the end of August was already cool, and the entrance of Wuhu Grand Theater was brightly lit.

  Whenever a star entertainer walks on the red carpet, there will be a dazzling flash of light.

  Occasionally, it will cause a burst of cheers from the fans around, it must be a popular star artist.

   "It's very lively."

   "Would you like to go up for a walk, you can choose any female artist in our company?"

   "Not going."

  Sitting in the Rolls-Royce RV arranged by the hotel, Zhou Anan, who was lazily leaning on the leather sofa seat, watched the light show in the distance, but rejected General Manager Feng's boring proposal and did not join in the fun.

  Like most entertainment company executives, Zhou Anan and General Manager Feng entered the venue through the staff-only passage, and sat in an area with a better view and would not be watched by cameras.

  In order to keep a low profile, Zhou Anan deliberately stayed away from the high-profile General Manager Feng when he sat down.

  The result was as he expected. As soon as General Manager Feng sat down, executives from other entertainment companies kept approaching him, making him hide away.

   "Mr. Zhou, hello."

   Zhou Anan wanted to hide away, but Qingjing avoided him.

  Looking at Wang Kai next to him with a gentle smile on his face, Zhou Anan had the urge to throw him on the stage.

  However, the other party is the leading male artist of Blue Whale Entertainment, Zhou Anan is not easy to do anything, just said clearly: "I want to keep a low profile, you understand."

"I understand."

Hearing the words of the big boss behind the scenes, Wang Kai nodded understandingly, and sat upright, not letting others find out that he was chatting with the people next to him: "Mr. Zhou, can you not consider me about the company's preparation of the artist studio?" inside?"

  “.”

   Zhou Anan, who thought the other party had left, turned his head in amazement and looked at the other party's pretending to focus on the front. For the first time, he found that the "Professor Du" who made thousands of girls go crazy and screamed on the screen was so stupid and cute.

  Underground worker joint, yes.

  Of course, he was more curious about the reason why the other party refused to set up a private studio, so he almost imitated the other party's appearance and sat upright, looking forward: "Why?"

   "I think the current contract with the company is very good. If I set up my own studio, I have to consider many things by myself, but I don't have time to hone my acting skills."

   "Don't worry about this. Since it's a studio, the person in charge of the studio will help you handle things other than acting."

   "But now the agent arranged by the company for me is very good, there is no need to set up a studio at all."

   "Then let that agent be the person in charge of your studio, not to mention that after setting up a personal studio, your own income will also increase and you will have more free time, isn't it good?"

  In Zhou An'an's impression, no one can refuse the temptation of opening a private studio for an aspiring artist.

  Even if Blue Whale treats artists very well, at most they can make their artists well-off. It will definitely not be so easy to become rich.

   You must know that after a few years, the income of those first-line celebrity artists who are famous and famous will be comparable to that of a large entertainment company, and the smaller and medium-sized entertainment companies will have to stand aside.

   Taxes are not calculated in tens of millions, but in hundreds of millions, which is terrifying.

   "I am very satisfied with the company's arrangement for me now."

  Actually, Wang Kai, who has been in the industry for more than two years and has been sitting on the bench for more than two years, is purely because he does not want to leave the company's protection and lose the hard-won opportunity.

  Of course he is aware of the increased income after opening a personal studio, but he also knows the risks involved.

  Although the studio has shares in the company, he is the one who dominates and takes the lead, so the company's resources will not be overly inclined to him.

  Once the resources run low, the popularity he has accumulated will quickly disappear, and in the end, the gains outweigh the losses.

   What's more, what he said came from the heart.

   He is already very satisfied with the resources and income he has obtained after joining Blue Whale. There is no need to change the status quo because of the studio system with no future. He is not stupid.
