China Entertainment 1997

People's fate is sometimes really unpredictable, especially in the entertainment industry. Maybe a movie will make people jump over the dragon's gate and soar into the sky.

Half a month ago, Sun Yanyan was just a little flower who had just emerged, and she was more of an internet celebrity than an artist.

Half a month later, "The Year in a Hurry" became a big hit, and Sun Yanyan suddenly became the heroine of a movie worth 600 million yuan. Even Zhao Xiaodao and Guo Zhenni, who have great status in the stars, are not as good as her.

The person Sun Yanyan wanted to thank most at this time was Chen Hanzhu. If it hadn't been for his persistence, she would not have been able to get this role, let alone what she is today.

Over the past few days, she and her agent were feeling dizzy.

To be honest, even if they starred as the heroine in "The Year in a Hurry", they never thought they would become famous.

As mentioned before, the cast of this movie is really not that strong. Even with "Girls We Chased Together" Zhuyu in front, not many people can think it is a hit.

After all, there are not so many dark horses, and Fanxing’s internal expected goal is only over 100 million.

In addition, this movie is regarded as a group drama. Although the heroine is eye-catching, the other female characters have a lot of roles. In the end, the director insisted that she was left out.

Because this opportunity was a bit too lucky and even a bit dreamy, Sun Yanyan subconsciously did not take this resource to heart and focused on working steadily in the field of TV dramas, hoping to star in a heroine.

However, if you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.

Sun Yanyan has not yet become famous in the field of TV dramas, but the movie has become a hit, and she has become a hot new star.

After the road show ended, she was recalled to Fanxing Company urgently and met her immediate boss's immediate boss, Fanxing Vice President Jiang Yue.

"Xiao Sun, are you tired from the road show?"

"I'm not tired. Everyone takes good care of me."

Sun Yanyan was a little cautious. It was not that she had never met Jiang Yue before, but this was her first time meeting alone.

"Don't be nervous, I don't eat people."

Although Jiang Yue is now in her forties, she is well-maintained and her appearance has not changed much from that of more than ten years ago, but her temperament is different.

As a well-known agent and one of the star giants, he holds a high position and is a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. Even if he has a kind attitude, he can still put a lot of pressure on people.

After saying a few words, although Sun Yanyan was a little relaxed, she still couldn't hide her nervousness. Seeing this, Jiang Yue didn't try to persuade her, and just talked about business.

In fact, there is nothing serious. Even if there is something serious, it will be handled by the people below.

Jiang Yue came forward, more because this time Sun Yanyan became popular and her status rose. She chatted with Sun Yanyan alone to show her importance.

This is similar to the interview with the big leaders in the system, and it also means that Sun Yanyan will no longer be the transparent person before, but a potential new star who will be remembered by the top management.

Compared to those within the system, Fanxing's side was more nutritious. For example, Jiang Yue emphatically asked Sun Yanyan if she wanted to change her agent.

After "The Year in a Hurry" became a big hit, information about several leading actors was placed on the desks of senior executives, especially Jiang Yue, the vice president in charge of artist management.

After reading Sun Yanyan's resume, Jiang Yue's first thought was to change her agent.

Among Sun Yanyan's works since her debut, there are ancient puppet supporting roles such as "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", youth movie heroines in "The Year in a Hurry", and period drama heroines in "Love in the Courtyard". She has also played the main theme and Historical drama.

In fact, from a normal perspective, Sun Yanyan's resume is not particularly strange, because she is not particularly popular.

Except for the pie in the sky in "The Year in a Hurry", the arrangement of other roles is actually in line with her reputation.

She doesn't have enough fame, and her ranking in Fanxing is low. She can't compete with other female artists for her good resources, so she can only give her a stick or a hammer when the opportunity arises.

Compared with those female artists who have to go through a lot of hard work and even pay a lot of money to get into acting, Sun Yanyan is already very lucky. She has no shortage of acting roles, and her roles are not low. Her college classmates are almost envious of her. Kill her.

From the agent's point of view, his arrangement was not wrong, and even Sun Yanyan herself acted when there was a suitable role.

But in Jiang Yue's view, Sun Yanyan's agent was just messing around and didn't have a professional and long-term career plan at all.

Or take advantage of the attributes of Internet celebrities to act in more idol dramas and accumulate popularity.

Or he could rely on his professional ability to get admitted to the People's Arts Academy, take the strong route, and shoot more word-of-mouth works.

It's not that the two can't go hand in hand, but at least one of them must make achievements and accumulate enough confidence. However, Sun Yanyan jumped left and right, and his career plan was a complete mess.

Which female star who can act in ancient puppet plays goes to play middle-aged women or even old ladies in period dramas!

It's not that you can't act, but it's too detached, especially in the early stages of your career, and it won't be able to form a complementary effect at all, and it may even be a hindrance.

If Sun Yanyan's agent knew what Jiang Yue was thinking, he would definitely complain.

Jiang Yue was right. She did have an average career plan for Sun Yanyan, but it was not as outrageous as Jiang Yue said. It was more like she had no choice.

Many of Jiang Yue's ideas were based on the popularity of "The Year in a Hurry". Before that, Sun Yanyan didn't have so much confidence and capital.

Could the agent not know that Sun Yanyan should film some similar roles to match "The Year in a Hurry", but how could such a coincidence of resources and roles fall into Sun Yanyan's hands.

Everyone knows that ancient puppet dramas and urban modern dramas are the most popular newcomers, but the key is not to grab them.

Again, Fanxing has no shortage of resources, but the resources have to be picked up first. Even if Fanxing’s insiders don’t want her, directors and producers may not be able to appreciate her for being such a transparent person.

Fanxing's projects must have KPIs. In order to achieve results, everyone would rather look for famous actresses outside. The ranking of newcomers is not that high.

This is not an exaggeration. Damimi and Zhao Xiaodao were able to go so smoothly in the first place because of Hu Jing's support.

You can get the right role when you are still a newcomer, and you can even customize it later.

Sun Yanyan doesn't have such a big backer, and there is no shortage of resources for her, but there is no special consideration for whether she is suitable or not.

Not convinced?

Who are you?

Sun Yanyan's Internet celebrity attributes are an advantage among newcomers, but any one chosen among the veteran artists can beat her.

It's a very rare treat to pick a few scripts at random, and you want to choose roles in the scripts. No matter how much Fanxing treats artists preferentially, it's not a habit.

When the quality of resources and characters is unstable, route planning is not so important. Pick good scripts and characters first, and then wait until you have accumulated a certain reputation.

After all, no one, whether it was her agent or Sun Yanyan herself, expected that "The Year in a Hurry" would be so popular, otherwise the choice of roles would have to be more thoughtful.

Sun Yanyan has a good relationship with her agent and has the courage to put in good words for him.

When Jiang Yue heard this, she also knew that her thoughts were a bit one-sided.

Big companies have advantages and disadvantages. They have a lot of resources, but there is also a lot of internal turmoil and fighting. In particular, film and television resources are not controlled by the artist management department. Everyone is completely in two departments. Big artists still have some confidence, but small artists do not have that much choice. powerful.

Even Jiang Yue has no way to deal with this. The company has such a system, and every department has KPIs. It is impossible to sacrifice one's own interests to fulfill others. It is inevitable that the big fish will eat the small fish and everyone will win.

Even if the East and West Second Palace supported Xianmi in the first place, it could not be done with just one sentence, and it was causing trouble in private.

It’s not just Fanxing, every company is this piss-poor, or even worse.

At least Fanxing has abundant resources, professional configuration, good treatment, strong backstage, and nothing messy. Even though the competition is high, the lower limit is high and the upper limit is even higher. It is still a paradise in the minds of countless artists.

Sun Yanyan felt the same way.

She has never felt that the stars are treating her harshly, and people have to be satisfied. Compared with outside artists, she is already very happy, not to mention that she is really popular now.

Jiang Yue has also been thinking about Sun Yanyan's future development.

Although "The Year in a Hurry" made his movie famous, it is very difficult to continue making movies, and Fanxing does not have enough suitable resources.

But if you can't make a movie, there's no problem with TV series. The difficulty is where Sun Yanyan wants to develop.

Traffic or strength?

Sun Yanyan herself is very straightforward. She wants to be a talented person. She has a background in drama, so she has some artistic ideas.

It's not that she dislikes those idol dramas, but as a star, Sun Yanyan is more willing to become an actor. Otherwise, no matter how stupid she is, she knows she can't play Lou Xiao'e in "Love in the Courtyard".

Jiang Yue did not reply directly. Although he sought the opinions of the parties involved, it still depends on the company's opinion on what to do.

However, this shouldn’t be a big problem, because there is no shortage of popular female stars in Fanxing, but such actresses who are down-to-earth and want to be powerful will always be in short supply.

Coming out of Jiang Yue's office, Sun Yanyan happily hummed the movie theme song "The Year in a Hurry", and then she met Chen Yao, who was in the same group, and the other person's face was also glowing.

Compared with Sun Yanyan, who is considered a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law, Chen Yao is called "the proud son of heaven".

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" became a blockbuster, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became even more popular, and now "That Year in a Hurry" is a big hit. I also have "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" starring Zhao Xiaodao, and many His popular works have made him the most prominent post-85s youngster at the moment.

It is no exaggeration to say that many outsiders are already speculating when Chen Yao will be able to overthrow Hu Ge and become the first brother of Fanxing.

Chen Yao knew what was going on as soon as he saw the direction Sun Yanyan was coming from, because he had just gone to Vice President Jiang's place in the morning to see him.

Even his treatment level was a little higher. He was called to Cao Xuan's office at noon and had a meal with the big boss.

Although the dishes we ate were all from the company canteen, Cao Xuan treated them personally, and the ordinary Sixi Meatballs tasted like crab meat and lion head from a top-notch private restaurant.

It seems a bit hopeless, but for Fanxing employees, Cao Xuan's prestige is too high.

Even people of their age are probably Cao Xuan's own fans and fans. They have their own fan filters. Coupled with the gap in status, it is rare for people who are not familiar with him to meet him. It is really an honor.

Although the two have filmed together and even played lovers, their relationship is not really close.

Many actors are like this. Filming and private life are two different things. They may lie on the same bed in the film but don't bother to say a word outside the film.

During the filming, their status was very different. Chen Yao had a rather cold personality in private, and Sun Yanyan did not like to be in a hurry to socialize. Therefore, they could not be friends, but at least they were acquaintances. Even if you meet, you should say hello.

After chatting for a while, we found that we hadn't eaten yet. Chen Yao was in a good mood today and showed his rare gentlemanly demeanor. Sun Yanyan was happy to eat.

The two of them didn't go far. They found a good restaurant near the company to eat to avoid scandals, and even called their assistants and managers.

As a result, as soon as the dishes were ordered, I bumped into Da Mi Mi, who was also coming to eat.

"Sister Mi."

Sun Yanyan said hello honestly, although she seemed to be older.

"Congratulations to you guys. It's a box office hit. The movie is really good. I even promoted it to you guys on Weibo."

Da Mimi has a very high emotional intelligence, but she has a problem of depending on others. If she had met Sun Yanyan before, she might have nodded her head, but now that "The Year in a Hurry" has become popular, she has become a good sister immediately.

This is also human nature, and the same is true for Jiang Yue and Cao Xuan. Otherwise, why didn't they talk to each other and invite them to dinner before?

It's just that because of the position, there is a certain amount of encouragement and attention, and it is regarded as official business to a certain extent. Damimi's communication is private, and the color is more utilitarian.

Faced with Damimi's enthusiasm, Sun Yanyan was somewhat unable to resist. A few days ago, he would not have dared to chat and laugh with Damimi, a famous figure.

No wonder everyone wants to be famous!

However, compared to her bright smile towards Sun Yanyan, Damimi's attitude towards Chen Yao is obviously colder. Even though the latter is more popular and popular, who makes him a member of the Xigong Party?

Thinking of this, Da Mimi couldn't help but grit her teeth. She finally got a new top player, Zhao Xiaodao, and Chen Yao was about to come over there.

In addition, Sun Jian and Guo Zhenni also emerged one after another, and the balance between the two parties became more and more tilted. Damimi was affectionate towards Sun Yanyan. Although she was just looking at what others were doing, she also had some intention of wooing the newcomers.

Faced with Damimi's different treatment, Chen Yao was very calm.

After all, he is now considered a backbone of the Nishinomiya Party, so how can he expect Damimi's good looks.

But Chen Yao didn't dare to treat him with a cold face. Even though he was popular now, he still had little success with Da Mimi.

Except for Liu Tianxian who was qualified to confront Da Mi Mi head-on, the rest of the West Palace sages basically stayed away when they met one on one. In the same way, Zhao Xiaodao was polite to Liu Tianxian when he usually saw him without Da Mi Mi by his side.

To be honest, although the East and West parties are secretly competing with each other, apart from Xianmi and the other two, they are not so tense in private, at least they can save face.

If Damimi ignores you, if she really takes you seriously, she will definitely be an all-rounder.

After a bit of cheating, Sun Yanyan was confused. She added WeChat in a daze and made an appointment to attend the premiere of Damimi's new movie "Beijing Meets Seattle".

"It's bad, I have to film that day."

After Da Mimi left, Sun Yanyan remembered that her "Love in the Courtyard" hadn't been completed yet.

"Ask for leave."

Chen Yao was very calm. Damimi asked politely just now. He excused himself as something happened and then left it alone.

"Actually, it's not bad to be friends with her. She is a great supporter in our company."

After eating together in private, the relationship between the two became closer, and Chen Yao also said a few more words.

When working in such a large company, it must be easier to have a backer. For example, where he is today, his biggest contributor must be the company's decision-making, but he is also under the care of the Nishimiya Party.

The most basic thing is that with Zeng Li at his back and Liu Tianxian and other seniors hugging each other for warmth, ordinary people would not dare to play tricks on him.

Sun Yanyan was helpless in the company, and now that she has become famous, it is the right time to attract attention, so it would be safer to hug her.

"I'll think about it again."

Of course Sun Yanyan knew the benefits of hugging the thigh, but she also knew the contradiction between the East and West parties.

There are many benefits to following Damimi, but you also have to form a hostile relationship with Liu Tianxian and his gang, and you may have to charge into battle in many cases.

Sun Yanyan was the last person who wanted to get involved in this kind of fight. She would always go around when someone on the set had a conflict, so she was not willing to step into this vortex easily.

Sun Yanyan, who was hesitant, returned to the crew of "Love in the Courtyard" and was welcomed by everyone.

Director Liu Jiacheng grinned almost to the back of his head. He never expected that an ordinary actress would suddenly become a 600 million movie heroine + a new starlet.

Don't think this is a trivial matter. It was also a rhetoric when negotiating with the TV station. The selling price might be increased by a few million.

For a crew like them, they are already very happy, not to mention having a popular little girl, which will greatly benefit the distribution and broadcast order.

The most important thing is that they hired such a little girl as an ordinary actress and made a lot of money.

Because of this, Liu Jiacheng treated Sun Yanyan in a gentle manner during the following period. He usually asked for help, but when Sun Yanyan asked for leave, he immediately approved it, which made both He Bing and Hao Lei a little jealous.

Sun Yanyan asked for leave to attend the premiere of Damimi's "Beijing Meets Seattle".

In the past few years, Damimi has gained a lot of momentum, and many celebrities have come to support it. Even Hu Jing, the president of Fanxing, came here to help out.

Sun Yanyan originally thought that she was just going through the motions, but she didn't expect that Damimi valued her very much. She came over to have a chat and arranged her next to Zhao Xiaodao. On her other side was Damimi's best friend Tang Yan, who was sitting next to her. There is also Liu Shishi in the second row.

After the premiere, Sun Yanyan saw the photo on Weibo and found that she had also been scored 85 yuan.

To be honest, she felt quite happy to be ranked alongside all the popular little girls. What made her even more happy was that she had her own fans helping her compete on Weibo.

Gee, she has only been in one movie, is she qualified to compete for the top four actresses?

However, on Weibo, the news about Sun Yanyan did not make any splash. The real breaking point was the popularity of "Beijing Meets Seattle".

In fact, the early results of the movie "Original Time and Space" were not very good, but it was better because of its longevity, and it suddenly made a box office of more than 500 million.

But things are different now. Damimi's popularity cannot be overshadowed. In addition, her first two movies were somewhat unsatisfactory. As a result, her movie has its own gimmicks and grossed more than 40 million at the box office on the first day.

It is difficult to say that the quality of the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle" is particularly good, and even some of the characters' views are not recognized.

But it has strong rhythm control, camera language, and a smooth plot. At least it is close to the ceiling in romantic comedies and love movies.

To put it more bluntly, this kind of warm-hearted uncle is infinitely tolerant of the heroine's past plots, coupled with the petty bourgeoisie scenes and plot lines, which is very impressive to white-collar workers and female audiences.

So this is also the reason for the strong staying power of this movie. Many people may not have a strong intention to watch it, but if they have time, they don’t mind going to the cinema with their best friends or boyfriends to enjoy it.

Perhaps this movie is not particularly popular, but it moisturizes things quietly, and the overall result is still very good, not to mention the popularity of Damimi and Jiao Enjun. .

It will be released in mid-August. The box office has exceeded 430 million in two weeks. It is expected that the total box office may exceed 650 million. It has a high chance of winning the 2013 summer season championship.

"That Year in a Hurry", "Taken 3" and "Beijing Meets Seattle", Fanxing did not produce a particularly strong movie in this summer's release, but each movie is not weak either.

Together with the other two movies invested and produced, the cumulative box office of Stars this summer is expected to exceed 2 billion. Stars Entertainment and theaters are full of food, and it is another fruitful summer...
