Chapter 139 Recruiting a Group of Stars, Their Wings Are Gradually Fulfilling (Two in One)

"I feel pretty good, Mr. Fan, what do you think?"

Lu Heng finished watching the first episode, and picked up a few more episodes. Compared with the pictures in his memory, there was basically no difference.

"I just called you when I thought it was okay." Fan Xiaotian said with a smile.

This drama was finished in September, if there were still a lot of special effects to be done in the later stage, otherwise it would have come out long ago.

Lu Heng nodded: "Then I don't ask any questions. I may not be able to do it for the next release. At that time, the vice president of my company will go there together."

Lu Heng was talking about Ma Xia. There are too many tricks in TV drama releases. It is impossible for Lu Heng to be the shopkeeper, not to mention that he still invests a lot.

At this time, Fan Xiaotian didn't think too much about it, so he nodded and agreed.Only when no one from Lu Heng and his company showed up at the time of the release would they think of operating it. In short... human nature cannot be tested.

It is still too early for the future "one drama, two stars", and even the "04+X" that was implemented in 4 has not yet arrived.The so-called 4 means that a drama can only be broadcast on 4 satellite TV stations, and X is an ordinary local station. There is no restriction on this.

As for the current broadcasting of TV dramas, there is no limit at all, and they will be called "one drama for a thousand stations" in the future. Some people complained: I think I tuned many channels back then, all of which were "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". Is it on stage?

In fact, this means that the fire is getting hotter and hotter, the big head is eaten up, and the rest is lingering and even squeezed by many dramas, so there are future restrictions.

And this "Brilliant Spring Pig Bajie" once had such a bright moment-Beijing-Tianjin-Shanghai-Suxiang-Zhejiang-Guangdong-Fujian-Huijin-Jimeng and other [-] satellite TVs across the country premiered, and there was only a few days' difference between before and after.

Not only that, the more than [-] TV stations that purchased the second round of copyright followed closely after the first round. This kind of grand occasion, only the previous two Huanzhu TV stations have this treatment.

With the help of Lin Yilun in the past two days, Ma Xia and Lu Heng turned the studio into a company.

Of course, the studio is small and easy to turn around, but at this stage, it is already very troublesome, such as investment, cooperation, etc., and even invoices have to be issued on behalf of the company, and it is not conducive to the establishment of the company's image and promotion.

If Han Ping hadn't come forward to share the large account before, he would have been busy for a long time, so Lu Heng hurried to change it after the year.

From Lu Heng's studio to a company, it is not so appropriate to call him by his personal name. Lu Heng directly used Xingxing-Xingxing Film and Television Culture Brokerage Company.

Lu Heng himself was the chairman of the board, and when he heard Lin Yilun jokingly calling him "Director Lu", Lu Heng suddenly remembered a meme from his previous life: Hearing that Jay Chou became Director Jay, Pan Weibo felt that his handsome Pan was no longer attractive.

Ma Xia, who had been helping Lu Heng manage the company before, naturally rose to the top and was promoted to vice president, but her former artist director is now the artist manager and continues to serve concurrently.

To restructure the company, it is natural to expand the scale and recruit people, and it is not just the artist department.

Other supervisors also formed teams, especially the financial department - so many "senior" bloody roads, Lu Heng didn't want to overturn.

In short, it takes a while to build a company. Even if we recruited people before, it has been relatively busy recently.

Lu Heng's company is recruiting people, and the applicants are like crucian carp crossing the river. Even though many people who fish in troubled waters are screened out through resumes, there are still many who finally enter the interview.

The interview lasted for half a day, and each department has enriched a lot.

When Lu Heng was looking at the resume that was sent over, there was a familiar name in the part of the agent. Compared with the photo on the resume, Lu Heng was sure it was her.

Zeng Jia.

In Lu Heng's previous life, that is, in June this year, Zeng Jia joined Rong Xinda, the company of Li Xiaowan and Li Shaohong.And the first artist she brought was Zhou Xun.

After Zhou Xun terminated the contract, she became Yang Mi's manager.

Although Jiaxing, which she founded more than ten years later, is capable of moving the wind and rain, but in 75, she is just a rookie who has just graduated for a year and a half. Although Lu Heng is younger than her, there is an old (zuo) day (zhe) jun) to feed.

Lu Heng didn't pay much attention to her either, so let's start as an intern agent like everyone else.

No matter how high a person's achievements are in the future, Lu Heng can't reuse her if she has no experience now, but with proper ripening, it is still possible for her to be independent as soon as possible.

After the internship became a full-time job, Lu Heng planned to ask Ma Xia to take her in person, just like Li Xiaowan took her in person when she entered Rongxinda.

Lu Heng also asked Ma Xia to contact Cai Yinong before, but since she was the boss in 98, she naturally didn't want to be inferior to others, even if the other party was Lu Heng.It doesn't matter to Lu Heng, if you can catch it, you can catch it, if you can't catch it, go on to the next one.

A lot of artists also came, and those who entered the interview after screening were either graduates of several universities, or had already acted in several dramas.

其中不乏一些熟脸：沪戏94级的马伊莉、96级的聂元、姚千羽；还有华戏95级的杨羽婷、田宇，96级的胡婧、曾梨；京影95级的左晓青，96级的陈昆、黄小明。

Among these people, Hu Jing and Chen Kun, who had known each other before, called Lu Heng in advance, and then each of them brought a classmate over.

In addition to them, there are also three familiar faces in the non-major class, Li Qian, Yang Ruoxi and Pan Yueming, but although they are not from the film and television major, they are also in the literature and art industry, and they are considered insiders.

After reading this pile of resumes, more than half of them are familiar faces in the future, and there are a few who are not familiar faces, but can still see works in his memory, which makes Lu Heng have to look at Ma Xia and the others. give a like.

In addition, Lu Heng's mood is somewhat complicated. In his previous life, these people all needed to be looked up to by himself, and some of them had cooperated with them. It was not until later that they became "old actors" that they paid some of them quite.

But now, all of them have become artists under their banner.This kind of feeling is probably like being reborn in the Three Kingdoms with the surname Liu, who gained fame after fighting two battles, and when recruiting troops, a large number of fierce generals he once looked up to sighed with emotion.

But this is not difficult to understand, if Jay Chou started a company to recruit artists after "Initial D" and "The Unspeakable Secret", the number of applicants would definitely be more than even less.

But this is not enough, Lu Heng still has a few people who want to sign, one of them is Huang Haibin. In the next few years, it will be his peak period, from "Wulin Outer History" to "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", not to mention female fans, male fans There are many fans.

In addition to those who learned acting, there are also a few singers, only Sha Baoliang and Chen Chusheng are familiar, and another female singer named Meijia is only found in memory after thinking about it.

Sha Baoliang and Zhou Xiaoou are friends. In the past two years, he has gone to many companies with demos, but no one is willing to release an album for him.

The last one, Lu Heng named Deng Wenbin, really can't remember it, but looking at the photos, he felt familiar, but after flipping through his memory, Lu Heng suddenly realized, this is... the back string?
In the subsequent meeting, they saw that Lu Heng was very excited, especially those artists who hadn't started in the industry, as well as managers like Zeng Jia, and people from other departments such as finance.

Lu Heng is naturally kind and friendly, but he also knows that apart from corporate culture, the biggest thing that can attract talents is profit. Only when you can eat well and eat well will you be willing to follow you. Without resources, it is impossible to retain people.

Lu Heng also promised to invest in at least three TV dramas this year. After all, this is the channel that makes the most money and gains popularity the fastest.

As for the singer, Lu Heng is also a big cake, but there are prerequisites, practice hard, and see the performance.

The next day, Ma Xia followed Fan Xiaotian to discuss the rights to broadcast "Pig Bajie".

Fan Xiaotian had produced popular dramas such as "Tai Chi Master" and "Water Margin" before, and he also has the contacts and relationships of several other shareholders, so this time, all the TV stations that sent invitation letters came.

The copyright departments of the various TV stations who came here are all experienced. Like Lu Heng, after watching two episodes, and then looking at the rhythm and plot outline, they basically have a score in their hearts.

Previously, several of their shareholders wanted to withdraw their capital because of jokes and the size of the cast, and because Zhu Bajie, the protagonist, was not as likable as Monkey King, so he hesitated.

But now that the film has been released, watching it is another matter.Not to mention the compact plot, the plot is also very attractive.

They said they didn't regret it, that's a lie, but they regretted it. The current Lu Heng is beyond their control, especially when Lu Heng's movies are sold out in neon, not only frequently appear on CCTV, but also become a model of cultural export.

At night, Ma Xia brought back good news——

Fifteen TV stations were sold in the first round, more than Lu Heng's previous life.

And there are more in the second round, 25 TV stations, including some provincial satellite TVs in the central and western regions.

As for the price, the average price for each of the first rounds is more than 130 million—after all, it is not an exclusive broadcast, and the price will not be too high.In the second round, each family averaged more than 50 yuan, and the total purchase amount was 200 million yuan.

And Lu Heng and the others had a budget of 900 million at the beginning, Lu Heng contributed half, and the four of them accounted for half. Later, the special effects were not enough in the later stage, and they made up more than 150 million. This part was also paid by Lu Heng. After all, they said before Subsequent will not increase.

Therefore, Lu Heng's proportion has also increased to 58%, and this wave of returning to Lu Heng's side has more than 800 million. After deducting the investment of 600 million, there are still more than 1000 million and [-] million.

As for the distribution of discs, it was naturally handed over to Wenlian Audiovisual Publishing House, one of the producers, and what was signed was a share.

Lu Heng is not worried about this one either. With the popularity of TV dramas, the sales of discs will also explode.And the distribution channels of the Federation of Literary and Art Publishing Houses far surpassed that of Lin Yilun's company, so this would also be a huge income in the future.

From this point of view, investing in a TV series can only earn a lot more than a movie, and it is more trouble-free than a movie.

And those TV stations held a meeting at that time and agreed on the broadcast time. Because the TV series received by each TV station are inconsistent, the broadcast time is also different.

Suzhou Satellite TV was the first to be able to take over the show. After the negotiation, their last prime-time episode just finished broadcasting, that is, February 2th, which is also the eighth day of the first month of the lunar calendar.

Afterwards, various TV stations started intensive publicity to build up momentum. Since they bought it back with money, they naturally wanted to maximize their profits.

In the promotional video, Lu Heng's appearances far exceeded his roles in the play.

But there is no way, who makes Lu Heng the most popular now, and the reason why the price this time is higher than the previous life, and there are more TV stations in the first round is also because of Lu Heng.

In the promotional film, the background music used is also the theme song "Good Spring". This song was also very popular with the show:
"A good spring is not as good as a dream, and the grass is fragrant in the dream~"

……

"A moment of happiness lasts forever, go forward quickly and never look back,
This flower blooms and falls in all shapes for 1000 years, and I still look like myself~”

Among the good songs, the splicing of the most exciting "whoosh whoosh" images looks cool and eye-catching, which naturally makes many audiences look forward to it.

In the last life, the Black Province Satellite TV had the highest ratings when it aired, soaring to 31 points, and the others also had [-] or [-] points, otherwise it would not have been so popular back then.Even after many years, such as Southeast TV and Guizhou Satellite TV, the rebroadcasts still exceed twice the ratings of TV dramas in the same period, which can be seen.

Lu Heng didn't pay too much attention to these. After all, they were all sold, and he also knew that it would be popular, so it would be fine if it wouldn't affect the sales of his own TV series in the future.

Now he is recording his new EP.

This mini album has a total of five songs, in addition to "Wanjiang" and the previous "Descendants of the Dragon", there are "Yellow Race" by Xie Tingfeng, "Country" by Cheng Long, and "Mountain, River and Starlight" by Wang Yibo.

In this millennium, it is not only suitable for the occasion, but also can enhance the self-confidence and cohesion of the people.

During the recording process, "Bright Spring Pig Bajie" was broadcasted one after another by those TV stations. It didn't take long for this little pig who turned out to be popular, and Xu Zheng was also popular.

Although it also brought him some troubles and made Xu Zheng feel depressed, Lu Heng's words also made him figure out: "How many actors don't even have a masterpiece, and even if there is a masterpiece, the audience cannot be familiar with him. Face, now you have a representative work, and the face is familiar, as for the role, if you play a few more different types, it will gradually fade away."

Xu Zheng thought about it for the same reason, so he happily went to act in the new play that Ma Xia helped him talk about. The name of the play was "Li Wei as an Official".

This is produced by Zhouyi Company in Haidao Province, which is the one that casts hit dramas such as "Love Through Time and Space", "Shuiyuedongtian", "Xiao Shishilang", "Wesley" and other popular dramas in the future. The title of "Boutique" can be applied to Zhou Yi.

From the production of the first "Great Love in Qinghe" starring Jiang Qinqin in 00 to "Peacock Ling" starring Shi Xiaolong in 10, there are nearly 10 dramas, each of which is a hit, and there are various types, such as time travel and tomb robbery. , science fiction, fantasy, and self-cultivation are all the first to eat crabs, but after [-] years of filming "Peacock Ling"... there is no such department, which is embarrassing.

"Li Wei as an Official" project has already been established, and Lu Heng can't stop it, but fortunately, their company has not been established for a long time. Since Lu Heng is willing to invest and share the risk, they are also happy to see the success. The two stations will each have half of the share .

In her previous life, Cheng Hao was the lead actress in this show, but Cheng Hao took the initiative to fight for it back then, but in this life, under the influence of Lu Heng, she was not as active as before, and she lay down at school with peace of mind.

The female number one, Lu Heng, recommended Zuo Xiaoqing from the company, and she was confirmed as soon as she had an audition.

In addition to them, there are also some artists who also participated in some roles in the play.

　I suddenly felt a pain in my heart when I coded last night. Thinking of the single chapter posted by Lemon a few days ago, I was too scared to stay up late. I will find time to go for a physical examination in the past two days. I can’t afford to be hurt when I am old... I will make two changes today , I am so sorry.
