The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

"Are you crazy? This must be crazy! Or you just want to kill me!"

At the same time, Zhou Qiming was dumbfounded when he saw the road show arrangement of "Nine Pins of Sesame Official"!
Low-tier cities account for 75% of roadshow routes!
That's not the point!
The point is that the crew arranged 500 roadshows in one month!
Even if directors, actors and other main film creators go to the road show in several ways, it is doomed to break the rhythm of running.

"Isn't this breaking the record for a movie road show?"

Zhou Qiming asked the agent who helped him plan the itinerary.

Manager Yu Li thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Although I haven't heard of a record for the number of roadshows, you should become the record holders for the most movie roadshows!"

"This is the first time I have no idea about setting a record!" Zhou Qiming just thought hehe.

The agent shrugged, "The contract stipulates that it is your responsibility to run the road show according to the crew's arrangement."

"I'm not trying to shirk responsibility."

Zhou Qiming spread his hands and said, "I just think that the general roadshows don't go to key cities, but we even have to go to county towns, is it necessary?"

The broker knew what he meant.

This is not to say that he looks down on low-tier cities—actors who can’t empathize with the bottom-level can’t act out the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the grassroots, and can’t portray the struggles and struggles of ordinary people;
However, starting from reality, roadshows in small cities do not conform to general economic laws.

To put it bluntly, eating and drinking all the way to the road show will also consume a huge cost; the problem is that the market in a small city is only so big, even if you give you all the filming, how much box office can you get?

Don't run out of a road show, the box office revenue can't offset the investment in the road show!

It can be said that this is also the main reason why almost all crews do not include low-tier cities in the scope of roadshows.

"Yes, this is very unreasonable."

"Then I..."

"But from my point of view,"

The manager interrupted Zhou Qiming,
"If Dunhuang doesn't play cards according to common sense, it's best to listen to them!"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Qiming was almost defeated by the manager's "superstition".

The manager suddenly laughed, "Actually, I have always claimed to be a rational manager, but from the first day I came into contact with Dunhuang, no, it should be said to be the first day I met Shen Zhenyi, I dare not say that I am rational. "

"Especially after getting acquainted with director Wang Wei, I don't even know how the word 'reasonable' is written. You know, few of the choices he made are 'normal'."

Thinking of Wang Wei's various "legends", Zhou Qiming was speechless.

"I'm not a consequentialist, but you really have to see what 'not quite sane' got me."

The broker shrugged.

What did the in-depth cooperation with the Dunhuang School bring to Yu Li?
In a word, she has become one of the most powerful agents in the Chinese entertainment industry!

There is a Hollywood agency, CAA, which likes to play the packaging business. Simply put, it is to bundle up multiple artists under its banner according to the needs of the film studio and sign them to the film studio together.

Among these artists, there are of course the film crews who are interested in them, but there are also some who are purely extras.

The cooperation between Yu Li and the Dunhuang department is similar, but she only provides the actors that Dunhuang wants; with the expansion of her artist team, she can provide all the actors that the directors of the Dunhuang department want!

Of course, Dunhuang's expansion is faster, and she can't use it to get a share of Dunhuang movies or even production rights, but for some new directors who are still in the development stage, that may not be the case.

When an agent obtains the production power of some crews, even if it is a part of the power, she stands at the top of the brokerage industry.

It cannot be said that her success is entirely due to Dunhuang, but it must be her biggest boost to get on board Dunhuang, the fastest-growing ship in the Chinese entertainment industry, and to get the moon soon, thereby attracting more talented artists to sign with her.

Isn't that what Zhou Qiming is like?

"Don't talk about me, look at your experience of becoming famous, how can you talk about 'common sense'?" The agent said and blinked.

Zhou Qiming was speechless.

It's all about going from a walk-on to the sky and fully releasing the comedy talent-he believes that even without Wang Wei's digging, the process may be a bit tortuous, but he will eventually succeed.

But it's really abnormal to "own" the production power so quickly.

Yes, in the crew of "Nine Pins of Sesame Officials", Zhou Qiming is different from other actors who focus on acting. He has at least as much power as a director.

He knows that he "can't be a human being, has a low EQ, and has a bad temper...", but he thinks that director Wang Wei once said a sentence, "Only the paranoid can succeed", which can be described as a true portrayal of him!
——As long as the script is given to him, he can't help but devote himself to it, and do anything desperately; he has high demands on himself, and he also has high demands on his partners.

Logically speaking, any famous director would not be used to him.

But director Kim Jae-ku is "used"!
To a certain extent, director Kim Jae-ku is not like the chief director, but an executive director; with his gentle personality, he also acts as a buffer for Zhou Qiming and the rest of the crew.

Of course, under the "indulgence" of Director Jin, he has some of the production power without writing. In the end, it is Wang Wei, the first producer, who really determines the direction of editing.

——No matter how conceited he is, he won't even wink at him.

In general, "Nine Pins of Sesame Official" is the most comfortable performance he has ever played in his career--"Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is not counted, he was more trembling at that time.

This is also the reason why he did not reject Dunhuang's request to extend the film contract in the first place.

Even from his heart, he doesn't want to be tied up in a company for too long.

But not all investors can "indulge" actors in this way.

"Have you noticed? The more Dunhuang plays cards out of common sense, the easier it is to succeed."

"This……"

"It's metaphysical, isn't it?"

Looking at the stunned Zhou Qiming, the manager smiled,
"I thought so before, but after a few more experiences, you—"

"got used to?"

"No, it's numb!"

Zhou Qiming was really numb,

"Although, but running such a crazy road show is still too insane!"

The agent comforted, "Think about the box office share you may get, do you have motivation?"

"The premise is that the roadshow arrangement is really effective."

The manager nodded, "Time will give you the answer."

"...Then let's go crazy with them! By the way, I'm negotiating a long-term contract with Dunhuang. You should delay it for a while."

"Are you afraid you will fail this time?"

"No, I'm afraid that if I'm too successful, it will become a routine in the future. I have my life to make money but not my life to spend!" Zhou Qiming showed a wry smile on his face.

"..."

——So, in fact, you already have the answer in your heart? ! !

Well, I don’t know how much I owe you, let’s make up slowly~~~
