012 Nortel

He had short hands and soft mouths, and had a happy meal of "living together with others", but the next day Qin Yu would ride a bicycle to Wu Shixian's film and television company to sign a contract.

Yanjing Film Academy near Jimen Bridge in the North Third Ring Road faces the Third Ring Road. When Qin Yu's cooler motorcycle turned from the Third Ring Road to the North Radio and Television, it also attracted a lot of attention. Although the door of the North Radio and Television is much spacious than that of the Central Academy of Drama, the gate is close to the North Radio and Television, which is the main road of the North Third Ring Road, and there is no luxury car at the door. Qin Yu's motorcycle is quite eye-catching among a group of electric bicycles and bicycles.

Following the address given by Gao Yalin, I came to a small red building near the Beijing Film Studio. There is a Beijing Film Studio here to provide entrepreneurship bases for students of Beijing Film Studio. The school provides several places for students who have just graduated to start businesses. The "Caiqi Feiwu Film and Television Company" registered by Wu Shixian is here.

Directors in China basically have their own film and television companies, and a large part of the director's revenue is calculated in the company's revenue. This is to avoid taxes reasonably. Wu Shixian is no exception. After investing, he established such a small company.

Seeing the two getting off the motorcycle, Gao Yalin couldn't help but curl his lips: "Don't you two know where this place is? This is Nortel, so arrogant, you are getting hatred."

Qin Yu hung his helmet and said to Gao Yalin: "Tsk, I see, you, a graduate of military art, are sowing the great friendship between our two schools."

In addition to the art school, Military Art, which specializes in training literary and artistic talents for the army, there are also three major film and television colleges, Shanghai Theater, Beijing Film Academy and Central Theater, among which the latter two are in Yanjing.

There is a saying in the circle recently: "The Central Academy of Drama has an actor, and the Beijing Film Academy has an actor", and this statement seems to have been spread from the Central Academy of Drama.

In the first few years of the 1990s, there was little concept of star in the domestic film and television industry. Most of the stars refer to artists from Xiangjiang or Wanwan. Most of the artists in the mainland are actors. If you say who is a star, it seems to have a hint of derogatory flavor.

In their minds, there is no difference between Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama. The director first sees whether you are suitable for this role, your acting skills are not up to standard, and secondly, it depends on whether you are famous.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the actors of the Central Academy of Drama were relatively good. They were backed by the Central Academy of Drama, which was the Yanjing People's Art Theater, and had a lot of excellent actors such as Gong Li, Chen Daoming, Lu Liping, Jiang Wen, Hu Jun, Xu Fan, etc. At that time, Beijing Film Academy was the most famous in the director department. Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tian Shixiao, Wu Ziniu, and Gu Changwei all came from Beijing Film Academy.

At that time, it was rumored in the circle that "the actors of the Central Academy of Drama and the directors of the Beijing Film Academy were released." However, this balance was broken in 1996.

This year was a year of explosion for both schools. The CET-96 Central Academy of Drama produced seven golden hairpins represented by Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, Mei Ting and others, while Beijing Film Academy welcomed a star class mainly composed of Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and others.

Currently, only Zhang Ziyi has made her mark. Others are either polishing their acting skills in the People's Art Theater or looking for opportunities in various crews. However, the few people from the Beijing Film Academy star class seized the opportunity to take off the TV drama industry.

The movie "Return of the Condor Heroes" made Zhao Wei popular in Southeast Asia; the movie "The Emperor of Han" made Huang Xiaoming the spokesperson of the first generation of domineering presidents; and the popularity of "Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind" and "The Golden Powder Family" made Chen Kun, who had a slightly literary atmosphere, the idol of thousands of girls.

The benefits of becoming famous are obvious. First of all, there are significant differences in personal income. According to Xiangjiang media reports, Zhao Weiguang's income exceeded 20 million in the first half of 2001. This news came to China, which surprised many people. When countless people whose housing prices in Yanjing were still in their early 20,000 complained that it was too expensive, 20 million was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

As the first person to become famous in the Seven Golden Chai, Zhang Ziyi received a pay of 270,000 yuan for filming "My Father and Mother", and even less filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The producer only gave 130,000 yuan. After becoming famous, Zhao Wei participated in a commercial performance in Xiangjiang for more than this price.

The huge gap made some people unbalanced, and Beijing Film Academy also took the opportunity to seize this point to promote externally, expand the source of students, recruit many students with excellent qualifications, and further narrowed the gap with the Central Academy of Drama. Some people who are unbalanced in the Central Academy of Drama began to spread the word "Central Academy of Drama will play actors, and Beijing Film Academy will play stars" and "Celebrities will play stars for a while, actors will eat for a lifetime."

There is nothing to do about this. This is the law of market development. With the booming development of online media this year, the popularity of movie stars has attracted more and more attention from the general public. The increase in attention represents the increase in popularity. Merchants hope to increase product sales through celebrity endorsement. This is celebrity marketing, a complementary thing, so driven by interests between celebrities and actors, most people have begun to favor the former.

As a mixed-race Chinese and American child, Wu Shixian is still a young man in the director industry who is under 30 this year. Although he was born in Wanwan, he has obvious American descent. If he had not listened to his fluent Chinese, Qin Yu would have thought that this was an American director.

Qin Yu smiled and said, "You speak Chinese well."

"You're not bad, either."

"Lao Gao, is this a foreigner?"

"Sino-foreign joint venture products..."

Wu Shixian is very good at talking, and his unique American humor makes people laugh from time to time. In his words, he is a descendant of Wu Zixu, a famous general of the Warring States Period. Qin Yu always feels suspicious, just like his surname is Qin. Could it be that he is a descendant of Qin Shihuang? Oh, by the way, Qin Shihuang's surname is Ying.

Gong Beilin, who met in the bar yesterday, was also here. In addition to playing an important role in this drama, she is also the financial department of this drama. Judging from the frequent eye contact between her and Wu Shixian, Qin Yu knew that Gao Yalin was probably not going to be the one who was going to be.

After a few people negotiated for a while, Wu Shixian took out the contract. The contract was very simple, which was to agree on the shooting project, the role to take on, the shooting time, and the most important pay and payment method.

It’s not that Wu Shixian fooled them, but that the project was too small and not worth it. Besides, everyone is from the film and television industry, and the two of them have no agency to register, so it’s easier to make it simple. When Qin Yu was filming "Golden Wedding", he didn’t even sign the contract, so he went directly to the group, and then took the money and left after the filming.

"Waiting Alone" is an independent film produced at a low cost. Wu Shixian has been wandering for five years from writing the script to filming today. Finally, he still invested in Taihe Media, with a total of 1.8 million yuan. Among them, the actors' pay is nearly 800,000 yuan. As the Venetian actor, Xia Yu has the highest pay in this drama, with his pay of 300,000 yuan, followed by the heroine Li Bingbing, 250,000 yuan, while Gao Yalin and Gong Beizi, each of whom only has 50,000 yuan. There are many other roles with friendly guest appearances, such as Yingda and Chen Yufan, who do not receive any pay.

Qin Yu and Zhang Xinyi don’t have the capital to say that they are friendly guest appearances. Besides, they are still students and their pay is not high. No matter how poor the crew is, they will not deduct them. In this drama, Qin Yu’s role is slightly heavier, and the pay is 10,000 yuan. Zhang Xinyi plays Gao Yalin’s girlfriend in the drama, and the scene is lower than Qin Yu, only 8,000 yuan. But the two are already very satisfied, especially for Qin Yu, he only has a few thousand yuan for his bar in two months. It seems that Xia Yu is right, and it’s better to make money for filming.

The filming time of this drama is October 15th, with a shooting cycle of more than one month, and the shooting location is also in Yanjing. They do not need to follow the crew at all times, and report on time according to the shooting plan given by the crew. Among them, Qin Yu's scenes will take about 20 days, and there will be three night scenes. Zhang Xinyi is even less, and it can be finished in just six or seven days.

After signing the contract, Qin Yu and the others planned to visit Beijing Film Academy, which is quite famous, but Gao Yalin was caught: "Qin Yu, you are familiar with nightclubs in Yanjing. Do you know which nightclubs to enter the venue to shoot. The cost is best and cheaper."

Qin Yu looked at Gao Yalin's sluggish look and knew that this matter would be a favor. Wu Shixian himself was not very famous and did not have many connections in the Beijing circle. Gao Yalin used to belong to the military system and was not very familiar with the nightclub. He happened to catch Qin Yu, a strong man.

"I can only ask you, and they must be open for normal business. It's best to be cheaper, don't be surprised if you can't." Qin Yu did not agree directly, but could only agree to ask. He started to be in society at the age of sixteen. Qin Yu knew clearly that sometimes some things need to be favored, but sometimes he didn't necessarily owe favors to others for things that could be done with small money. Getting and giving depends on whether it can be proportional to whether it is worth more than money.

Qin Yu was going to Sanlitun to ask Zeng Tianshu in the evening. If he could "tun the night" bar, it would be a very suitable place. After thinking about it, he said goodbye to Gao Yalin and others, and Zhang Xinyi and entered Beijing Film Studio from the gate connected to the interior of the Beijing Film Studio and visited here.

Today is the weekend, there are not many people in the school, and the two of them are not well-known yet. No one can recognize them while wandering around here. If they become famous in the future, they will not have the opportunity to visit here.

To be honest, in terms of environment, Beijing Film Academy is much better than Central Academy of Drama, and its area alone is several times larger than Central Academy of Drama. In addition, the Beijing Film Studio, which is connected to Beijing Film Academy, makes Zhang Xinyi envious.

"Although they have a large area and a better environment than us, they don't have more actors here."

Qin Yu followed and said, "That's right, these teaching buildings that look like they don't have cultural atmosphere, are not as simple as ours and have connotations."

"And we go out there and there is an alley, and the nearest is Wangfujing. Not far away, we will reach the Forbidden City. It is absolutely the center of the city, unlike them, which is outside the Third Ring Road. If it were placed in ancient times, their place would have become a suburb."

The grapes that cannot be eaten are always sour, and the two of them are so sour. I heard that the school is planning to build a new campus in Changping, but for the two who are already in their senior year, the news is still too far away.

Two students from the Central Opera made a big fuss in Beijing Film Academy. When they were excited, they still pointed at various buildings of Beijing Film Academy, and finally ushered in a rebound from Beijing Film Academy students.
