China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 195
Soon, Yang Mi’s team began to have frequent contact with Youhua.

"Is five years too short?" Youhua's legal team questioned.

"It's not short. We have already made concessions on the share. This signing time is the bottom line."

"Compared with the resources invested by our company, we think this share is reasonable and has nothing to do with the signing time."

"No, no, no, my employer is already a relatively mature and high-ranking artist. According to normal circumstances, the share with the company should be [-]."

Lawyers on both sides were quarreling and back-and-forth, refusing to give in on key issues.

In the end, it was Yang Mi's side who chose to make some concessions from other places in consideration of subsequent cooperation.

"Welcome to join the big family of Youhua."

"Brother Hua, you will become my boss from now on, and you will have to take more care of me in the future."

"Haha, definitely." This guy is a bit of a social bastard!
He Hua and Yang Mi shook hands, and after many meetings, the two sides finally reached an agreement:
Yang Mi joined Youhua Entertainment, and the company was responsible for helping her establish a personal studio.

The contract period is five years, and the contract share is 20%, which means the studio will hand over [-]% of the profit.

During the cooperation period, the company will open its own film and television resources, variety shows and fashion resources to artists to help them expand this area of ​​content. The rigid rule is: two one-shot female protagonists a year (television), one movie (three-times) within).

Now that Yang Mi has been signed, the heroine of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" has been decided.

The next step is to polish the script and prepare for filming. He Hua is also preparing to withdraw. His focus is not on this drama.

But before leaving, He Hua still warned Yang Mi:
"Your acting skills are now a bit routine and formal. You should be careful."

"Of course, every actor will encounter such a situation in his long acting career. There may be a period of time when he is in particularly good condition. Maybe a certain detail inspired you and he performed particularly well. If sometimes he is not in good condition, the performance It just falls into a routine, which is a disease that has been repeated throughout my acting career."

Seeing that Yang Mi listened attentively, He Hua's side of being a teacher came out again:

"So how do you prevent yourself from falling into this state for a long time?"

"The best way is to slow down, don't take on so many scenes, and spend more time slowly honing the character."

"You have to believe in the team, believe in the character, and tap into your inner creative desire."

Of course, he didn't know if Yang Mi could listen, but he emphasized in the end:
"Know the role of Ruoxi well, she will become a representative character for you."

After all, I haven't heard that Yu Zheng is going to film "Palace" until now. Wouldn't it be interesting to think about the two popular characters of "Qingchuan" and "Ruoxi" coming together?

After Yang Mi left, He Hua continued to be busy with his own business - the promotion of "Orphans".

It is already late May, less than 5 days before the movie is released, but so far, theaters have only given less than 20% of the movie schedules, so they have to work harder.

He Hua was also worried. He really didn't expect so many people to grab it for such an inconspicuous time slot.

"Orphan" is released on June 6.11. Strictly speaking, this is not even a summer release, but there are quite a lot of people vying for it.

First, the comedy "On the Road" starring Xu Zheng and Bao Qiang on June 6.4th was a major stumbling block at the box office in its first week;

Also released on the same day is "Kung Fu Dream" starring Fang Long and Will Smith's son, Jackie Chan + Kung Fu, or teaching Kung Fu to foreigners, it's a big headache just thinking about it.And why did he meet Fang Long again?Those who didn’t know thought the two families had a grudge.

Afterwards, Disney's "Toy Story 6.16" will be released on June 3th, so don't worry about the box office for children after that.

On June 6.18th, the third week of June, Li Lianjie + Wen Zhang's literary film "Ocean Paradise", Gong Li + Chow Yun-fat's Hollywood blockbuster "The Spy", Yang Qianhua + Shawn Yue's romance film "Chunjiao and Zhiming", Sun Honglei + Lin Chiling + Huang Haibo's comedy "The Battle of Shama Town".

Although none of them are big directors, Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom. There are films of various types and styles, and the audience has too many choices.

So now He Hua can only do his best to promote it, let theaters schedule more movies, and strive to get good results within two weeks, so that theaters will not cut off large-scale cuts.
Zhang Guoli, Zhu Yilong and his girlfriend Liu Yifei all attach great importance to "Orphans".

The latter has even forgotten his own job. "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance 2" will be released on July 7.9th, and now the film's promotional activities have begun. Take a look at Liu Yifei's Weibo. Four of the five posts are talking about "The Lost Orphan" ”, and the first comment on the remaining one promoting “Tang” was posted by herself:

"The Lost Orphan is also very good. You can go and watch it first."

He Hua thought to himself that if I were Li Lichi, I would definitely not look for you next time. Who is this person?

But this was because he was overthinking it, and Li Lichi had no objection at all, because he didn't even want to be a director. As it was about to be released, "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance 2" was still a mess.

I don’t know whether the investors were dissatisfied with Li Lichi’s editing of the film or the film of starring Huang Xiaoming’s personal scenes was accidentally destroyed. Anyway, now Wang Jing has taken over the post-editing of the film, and Li Lichi has disappeared.

But these are none of He Hua's business. He is going to take the crew there one show after another.

Now is no longer an era when the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. There are more and more channels for people to obtain information. The time that information stays in people's eyes is getting shorter and shorter. If you don't pay attention to many things, they will be washed away by other information.

Especially in the current field of movies, the release time of a movie is only a short 35 days, and among these 35 days, only the first 5-7 days, which is the first week box office, can determine the fate of the movie. No, the theater will soon delete your film schedule, and then your box office performance will be very poor. If you delete more films, you may end up in a miserable failure in a vicious cycle.

Of course, this is talking about most ordinary movies, which have an 'L-shaped' box office decline curve. The first week's box office will account for 1/3 of the total box office.

In addition, there are still various fraudulent promotions nowadays, such as something with a high 'Teng' content, so-and-so's acting skills are explosive, and all the essence of the movie is cut into the trailer for you, so that you will become strongly curious after watching it, or directly I'll give you a plot among the moviegoers, work in a worker's cinema or something like that.

This kind of film is about killing and not burying it, first tricking the audience into entering the theater, quickly making enough money within a week or two, and then who cares whether the audience criticizes or not, and whether the film's reputation is good or not.

He Hua is not that bad. He can still guarantee the quality of the film. At least he and his team put their best efforts into it.

Of course, the audience can also feel this kind of attentiveness.

Lu Yu looked at the documentary on the screen and sighed:

"You are really much thinner than you are now. Did you weigh yourself at that time?"

Is there any significance to this question?He Hua will never understand Lu Yu’s brain circuit:

"I didn't weigh myself. Anyway, my pants were a lot bigger when I came back."

"So what have you gained in these 30 days?"

He Hua looked at Guo Gangtang, who was invited by the program team, and said:

"I have gained a lot, and I have a lot to talk about, but for Brother Guo, this journey may be no different from the past." "Brother Guo, what do you think?" Lu Yu finally regained consciousness and handed over the words. to the guests.

"It's still different. I feel like there is hope. Director Hua Zi and the others are paying attention to us, and society will also pay attention to us. There will be greater hope of finding children in the future. I am very happy."

He Hua patted Guo Gangtang on the back.

After "Bass Date", He Hua led the crew to run "Best Scene", "China Film Report", "Light and Movie Star Podcast", "Super Interview" and Guo Degang's "Tonight" and other programs.

Among them, "There's a Play Tonight" by Guo Degang is the most interesting.

The program team got some melon seeds and peanuts. As for He Hua, he couldn't help but couldn't help it. Northerners are used to eating melon seeds while chatting, so he grabbed a handful.

Then the two started chatting like this. He Hua didn't care about his image, but Guo Degang just had that image.

"Are you really going to donate all of this film?"

"I didn't think about making money from the beginning, and Teacher Guoli didn't even get paid."

Guo Degang nodded and gave He Hua a thumbs up: "You two are really like this."

Then he turned to the audience:

"Perhaps everyone knows that He Hua and Liu Yifei each donated 100 million yuan to the disaster area after the earthquake, but there is another thing that not many people know, and that is that He Hua also donated 500 million yuan to the disaster area in the name of his company. "

"Six million. Have you graduated from college at that time?"

May 08, "I'm a senior and I'm about to graduate."

Guo Degang did not continue speaking, but just put down the script in his hand and took the lead in applauding, followed by thunderous applause in the studio.

And it can be seen that Guo Degang admires people like He Hua. He cueed him several times in the show:
"What's the name of the movie? It will be released soon, and I will ask all my disciples to watch it."

"I have to write down the time. Don't forget it again. Bring me a pen and say it again."

He Hua was also very grateful and thanked him many times with fists in his hands.

At the end of the program, Guo Degang personally shouted: ""Lost Orphan", June 6th, remember, we will see you in the next episode!"

Anyway, during this period of time, the cast and crew of "Orphans" can be seen everywhere on TV, on the Internet, and in newspapers.

But that's it. Before the movie is officially released, all the work that can be done has been done. Now what we have to wait for is the release of the movie and some interviews after the movie is released.

On June 6, the road comedy "On the Road", which is highly regarded by theater chains and theater representatives, landed in major theaters across the country. In just two days, it showed its true nature as a dark horse. The theaters continued to increase the number of shows to meet the needs of the audience, so that The box office on Sunday did not fall but rose, bucking the trend. As of June 4, it had grossed nearly 6 million in five days.

Seeing this, He Hua suddenly felt a little worried. It turned out to be a big obstacle. Xu Zheng and Bao Qiang were really in trouble.

Liu Yifei walked over and smoothed her boyfriend's eyebrows with her hands:
"Okay, don't worry. The genres of the two films are different. Don't worry."

"Don't worry, right? There is a wolf in front of you and a tiger in the back. This is true."

"Anyway, we tried our best. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, okay? It will make me uncomfortable if you do this. If I hadn't been looking for trouble, you wouldn't have to work so hard." Liu Yifei buried her face in He Hua's neck and said emotionally.

He Hua touched his girlfriend's hair: "How can I blame you? This is what I want to take. Okay, okay, I don't want to think about this anymore, let's just let nature take its course."

Liu Yifei sniffed slightly and said, "That's right. Let's go eat hot pot and watch a movie by the way. I want to go to a movie."

"it is good."

Two days passed quickly.

On June 6, the premiere of "Lost Orphan" was held at BJ Haidian Huaxing International Cinema. This is BJ's first five-star cinema, and many movies have their premieres here.

Thanks to the previous publicity, many media reporters and film critics came to attend the film premiere, and the passers-by at the scene were also quite surprised.

Because they were worried that Fang Long’s "Kung Fu Dream" would not be adapted to the local environment, and "The Lost Orphan" was short and concise, with a running time of 87 minutes, the theater raised the film schedule of "The Lost Orphan" from the previous 34% to 39%, which is considered a good result. news.

But again, box office determines everything.

"Yifei, are you here to support Director He Hua?"

"No, I came to watch a movie. The movie is very good." Liu Yifei answered the media's questions with a smile.

"Orphans" is not a blockbuster, and He Hua did not notify the stars to come to support, so the so-called premiere is just like a road show, watching the movie, and after watching, the creative team interacts with the scene, but the interaction here is based on the media. host.

The host found his good friend Liu Yan. Anyway, there is also investment from Guangguang here, so it is not in vain.

After Liu Yan's simple opening remarks, the lights in the screening room were turned off and the movie started:

The story of "Lost Orphan" is very simple. It tells the story of an ordinary father's search for his son.

With a map, a backpack, a motorcycle, and some old clothes, this ordinary father walked for ten years and traveled more than half of country Z. This story directly touched the hearts of the audience.

The film begins with a cute baby photo, but the photo gradually turns yellow, and at the same time begins the process of losing an orphan;

Then Lei Zekuan, with his thoughts in mind, rode a dilapidated motorcycle through unfamiliar mountains and fields, squatted on the roadside to eat instant noodles, posted flyers in the face of displeasure and even expulsions, did not dare to slack off, endured sleepiness, and endured the pain of being hit. Tested, he persisted like this for ten years;

On the way, he also helped Zeng Shuai, who was abducted at the age of four, find his biological parents.

I just helped others find their sons and parents, but I was trapped in despair: 'Why was I the one who lost the child?' ''Do you want to continue looking? ''Can it still be found? '

But as the monk said: When he comes, fate gathers; when he leaves, fate disappears; if you look for him, fate arises; if you don't look for him, fate disappears.

So for that thought in his heart, he continued on the road to find his son.

As he said in the movie:
"Only when I am on the road can I feel worthy of my son. No matter where he is, I hope he knows that his father is looking for him."

"Over the years, only on the road have I really felt that I am a dad."
