The bard joins the entertainment industry

After listening to what Zhou Ping and Jiang Xuerou said and looking through the documents in his hands, Chen Shuo was really surprised.

Indeed, as the two said in the document, Zhouyi Film and Television will fully fund the establishment of a new film production company.

At that time, Chen Shuo will not have to pay a penny. As long as he signs the contract, he will become a shareholder and art director.

Then when a work project is approved, he needs to check it.

"Is this too exaggerated?" Chen Shuo put down the document and asked in disbelief: "I am only 19 years old now, just a sophomore? Now I have become a shareholder and art director of the company?

This sounds more like a joke or a thriller. "

Zhou Ping explained: “It sounds a bit exaggerated, but in fact we didn’t pay anything.

Given our relationship, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth.

The company will inject one million into this company and then allocate four million in funds. At the same time, the film production team that the company is cultivating will also be transferred to this company.

But that's about it.

In fact, these five million won't make any good movies at all, and they won't be of much benefit to you at all.

If so, it can only be said that from now on, your economic contract belongs to you, and it doesn't matter whether you are affiliated with this company or not.

Of course, you can ask for whatever resources the company has that you like.

But we just feel that the company's resources are of no use to you, so we made this decision.

Of course, being a shareholder and art director of a company at least raises your status. In the future, you can directly represent the company to discuss matters and cooperation with others. "

Jiang Xuerou added: "Actually, to put it bluntly, this is a way for us to bind you.

You feel like you are just a nineteen-year-old boy, a sophomore in college.

However, in fact, you can't say that you are number one in the TV industry, but you are still top-notch.

In the singer circle, since the turn of the millennium, apart from Zhou Jielun, the only one is you.

Only in the film industry, you have just started to take steps, but you have also achieved the success of "House of Flying Daggers". Let's not talk about "A World Without Thieves", after all, the role is not big.

But the male protagonist of "Initial D" has officially entered the film industry.

This is only a short period of two and a half years. Who knows where you will go after you graduate?

We will definitely put more effort into this branch, but it will definitely not be as good as your development.

But there are three stakes in a fence and three gangs in a hero. With this company, at least it can give you a backing.

We can also follow your lead and go further on the film road. "

Listening to the two people's analysis, Chen Shuo gradually came to understand.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed what the two of them said. It took only two and a half years for me to reach where I am today. Who dares to say what I will be like in two years?

Even if it just maintains the status quo and no longer skyrockets like before, it can still be regarded as the first-class in the entertainment industry.

What's more, with your own ability, how can you stay still?

Not to mention that the professional level is still rising, even if it is not rising, in just two and a half years, it has not been able to exert its current abilities at all.

What he lacks now is time. Even if he has no ambition now, as time goes by, his existing abilities will push him forward step by step.

However, Jiang Xuerou and Zhou Ping could see it more clearly from the sidelines.

They also thought about setting up a film production company while Chen Shuo was growing up.

This seems to be taking advantage of him, but it cannot be denied that no one except them would have such courage, such trust in him, and such honesty.

Put your ideas and goals directly on the table.

Even the follow-up has been planned for him. When he wants to set up his own company, he will not only let it go without saying a word, but also give him as much support as possible.

Chen Shuo thought for a long time. Zhou Ping and Jiang Xuerou did not rush him, but just waited quietly.

It was not until the sky was getting dark and Liu Yifei called him that he came back to his senses.

"Aren't you just going to sign a contract? Why does it take so long?"

"The boss is telling me something. Have you finished recording the song?"

"The recording has been finished a long time ago. My mother has been back for a while."

Chen Shuo looked up at the time and saw that it was already past seven o'clock.

"I'll be there right away."

"If you are busy over there, we will do the same now and in the past. If Xuerou is free, let's have a meal together." Liu Xiaoli's voice came from the mobile phone.

Chen Shuo looked at Jiang Xuerou and the others and knew that for them, his answer was more important.

That being the case.

"Okay, Auntie, come over then."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuo sat up straight, looked at the two of them seriously and said, "If the boss and Mr. Zhou don't mind, then I will shamelessly agree."

Jiang Xuerou was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Why did you agree so shamelessly? It's time for us to take advantage."

Chen Shuo didn't say any more. It was really hard to say who was taking advantage of whom.

Just like if Jiang Xuerou hadn't signed him decisively and trained him vigorously, even if he could develop to where he is now, he would still have to make many detours.

At least now it is absolutely impossible to reach the point where it is today.

A newcomer with no foundation, a 40-60 split, and the first drama he signed was the male lead.

No other company in the country is willing to do this under such conditions.

Now, no one would give him the conditions to become a shareholder of a company and work as an art director part-time.

It was Jiang Xuerou again, who strongly believed in him and did so without hesitation.

Regardless of other things, just doing this twice can be regarded as a blessing.

So what else does he have to hesitate about?

A gentleman's repayment of kindness does not depend on the amount, but on virtue.

If people do not disappoint me, I will repay them with kindness. I will not disappoint others and repay them with kindness.

As the two said, if they want to be independent in the future, they can just cross-hold the two companies.

Before Liu Yifei and others arrived, Chen Shuo signed the contract for "Initial D".

The seal of the signing this time is not Zhouyi Film and Television, but Zhouyi Film Production.

At the same time, Chen Shuo no longer has to share his remuneration with the company.

However, the money was only small amounts. After reaching a cooperation, neither Chen Shuo nor Jiang Xuerou cared about it.

“The company has been established, and all we need to do is change the shareholder information.

Later, when you have time, learn more about the new company.

You don’t need to ask about the specific operations. There are professional people running it. The main aspect is our film production, which needs your attention.

Of course, you will be a shareholder in the future and have the right to supervise these things. "

After the contract was signed, Jiang Xuerou and others told him about the situation of the new company.

The organizational structure is similar to the original company, with the production department as the main body.

There is no performance department, and as far as artists are concerned, he is the only one in the entire company.

However, his brokerage business can still be handed over to Shan Xiaolou, and he can change it when he feels that Huang Ying is qualified or finds a new broker.

The main force in the production department is Li Dachao. After all, he has made movies, albeit only as an action director.

Then the screenwriting team assigned several main screenwriters from the Pumpkin Creation Center.

Of course, when the entire company is starting up, there are still many vacancies that need to be filled.

For example, there is a lack of experienced producers. Whether they are directors, photographers, art, etc., there is a big gap between them and those who specialize in making movies.

I have no projects of my own and no goals to expand outward.

The entire company is in dire straits.

Until Liu Yifei and others arrived, several people were still discussing.

When they heard that Chen Shuo had become a shareholder of the new company, Liu Yifei and others were also very surprised.

However, she and Liu Xiaoli did not want to interfere too much in this matter, and just let him make his own decision.

We had dinner together in the evening. On the way, Chen Shuo also talked about meeting Liu Shishi today. Liu Yifei was very interested and planned to go and see it tomorrow.

The next day, Chen Shuo followed Zhou Ping and changed the shareholder information, and he officially took office.

It's just that now he has no time to care about this company's affairs, so he should let it run according to the original plan.

He now has to go to class during the day and helps Liu Yifei produce an album in his free time.

Next, Jingwen plans to hold a celebration banquet for him in early June.

Moreover, the filming of his scenes in "A World Without Thieves" will also begin.

Feng Xiaogang rented a studio in Xiaotangshan and set up the interior of the train. Most of the scenes were completed here.

After Chen Shuo arrived, he greeted Feng Xiaogang, Ge You and others one by one.

He came to Andy Lau and asked, "Brother Hua, how far are you filming now?"

"More than half of the filming has been completed, and it is expected to be completed by the end of next month." Andy Lau looked at him and asked: "Has the contract for "Initial D" been signed?"

"I signed the contract yesterday, but I haven't had time to read the script yet. I'll prepare it when I get some time, and practice driving by the way."

"There's no rush to practice driving. This movie will be filmed in Japan. The cars there are right-hand drive. Let's practice it when we get there.

The better you practice in China now, the harder it will be to change when it's time to shoot. "

When Chen Shuo thought it was true, he nodded and said: "Then don't worry, I'll prepare the characters first."

The character Four Eyes does not have many scenes, but as "House of Flying Daggers" was well received in Cannes, Chen Shuo was also praised, and with the addition of tens of millions of album sales, Feng Xiaogang added a lot of scenes to him.

He is a man who doesn't care about his appearance. Anything that can be useful is good.

Originally, when Chen Shuo originally decided on the role, he really didn't pay much attention to it.

What happened if you acted in Zhang Yimou's movie?

There are many people who have acted in his movies, many of them are popular, but many of them are not popular.

Everyone knows Zhang Ziyi when it comes to "My Father and Mother", but who knows who the male protagonist is?

We all know Jet Li, Tony Leung, and Zhang Manyu from "Hero", but they are already popular.

The one who really wants to be popular is Andy Lau.

A newcomer, and a supporting character. What's there to care about?

He, Feng Xiaogang, also has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Therefore, even if Chen Shuo achieved more than 4 million sales a month, he didn't care much.

However, who knew that not only would it become popular in Cannes, but its sales would also exceed 10 million, which is a huge success.

However, with his status, there is still no need to pay too much attention to Chen Shuo, but such a good resource should not be used in vain.

Just give Chen Shuo a role, and then when promoting it, place him behind Andy Lau, Ge You, Liu Ruoying, or even behind Ge You.

As for obtaining Chen Shuo's consent to increase his remuneration? never heard of that.

Chen Shuo knew this very well, but he didn't care.

To be honest, what Feng Xiaogang did was beneficial to him.

What he lost was just some salary, but what he gained in exchange was a talkable role and real fame.

Chen Shuo has more roles, and the roles of Liu Dehua and others cannot be reduced, so the roles of Lin Jiadong and Li Bingbing will have to be reduced.

Some scenes that were supposed to feature the two of them were cut and replaced with Chen Shuo's.

However, the two of them had nothing to do about it, and Feng Xiaogang did not let them know about it at all.

The two people's original scenes were filmed as usual, and Chen Shuo's additional scenes were shot separately. When it comes to editing, they will be edited according to the version with the additional scenes.

On this day, we were about to film a battle scene between Andy Lau and Ge You.

Chen Shuo also had to be there as a backdrop.

Although there are few scenes, they are very difficult. These two scenes were shot in two or three days.

Before it even started, action instructor Jiang Daohai was constantly teaching Liu Dehua techniques.

"Peeling eggs in this glass is like rolling dice in gambling. You need to use a skillful force to make it spin in the cup.

But our goal is to peel off the skin, so when shaking it, let it continuously collide with the wall of the cup, and then continue to peel off..."

While talking, Jiang Daohai continued to demonstrate.

Chen Shuo saw that the egg shell was broken little by little, and then peeled off with a crunching sound.

A well-boiled egg will peel off easily after the shell is broken.

The difficulty is just how to make it shake in the cup without running out.

At this time, not only Chen Shuo was curious about this scene, but the entire crew would come to take a look whenever they had free time.

Wang Baoqiang on the side asked Chen Shuo: "Brother, can you do it? I've been practicing secretly for several days, but it doesn't work."

Ever since they first met in Gan Province, he called Chen Shuo brother, and he has been calling him that way ever since.

No matter that he is actually three years older than Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo corrected him several times, but every time he saw him, he just passed by with a silly smile on his face and let him go.

You must know that when he first met Liu Dehua, he knelt down directly.

At that time, Liu Dehua was so frightened that he quickly supported him and asked him to kneel down and bow down.

Chen Shuo looked at the eggs that were peeled cleanly by Jiang Daohai, nodded and said, "It shouldn't be difficult, right? As long as the egg shell is easy to peel off."

Li Bingbing, who was amazed on the other side, suddenly became interested and said to Wang Baoqiang: "Shagen, where are your eggs? Let him try it."

"Okay." Wang Baoqiang turned around happily and left. He went to his resting place and took a cup and an egg.

He handed it to Chen Shuo and said with a smile: "Brother, here it is!"

Li Bingbing also urged: "Quick, quick, try it!"

Seeing this, Chen Shuo held the cup in one hand and the egg in the other. With a sweep of his right hand, he pocketed the egg in his left hand into the cup.

Then hold the glass cup with your thumb, index finger, and middle finger, trying to reveal the scene inside.

As he kept shaking, the egg shell inside quickly broke.
