Chapter 128: Helplessness in the Line II
Some artists are eager for quick success and quick profit, and do not consider the rationality of the contract or avoid risks when soliciting investment, which just allows businessmen who want to maximize profits to see opportunities...

After Lu Yuchi finished doing this, he looked at Yang Mi, who was still feeling sad in the passenger seat, and asked, "What's wrong? You feel gloomy as soon as you leave the neighborhood."
"Alas! I feel uncomfortable after listening to what the three seniors said." Yang Mi said, and asked Lu Yuchi for a cigarette.
"Huh? I think that's a good point." Lu Yuchi didn't quite understand, so he took out two cigarettes and handed one to Yang Mi.
"It's very good. There's nothing wrong with what you said. Of course you think it's very good. They said so much, either to praise Brother Cat or to praise you. I also know that what they said is right, so I feel uncomfortable.
"
After hearing what Yang Mi said, Lu Yuchi recalled what the three teachers said and understood what Yang Mi meant. Just like what Yang Mi said, it was precisely because they were right that Yang Mi was unhappy.
Because many of the words of the three of them were like slapping Yang Mi in the face. For example, the faces they mentioned could not move, popular stars with no acting skills, bad movies made by irresponsible crews, etc.
The problem is exactly what Yang Mi has been criticized for these years.
Yang Mi, who had always been careless and careless in Lu Yuchi's eyes, actually said quietly at this time: "I think I can also act, but if you think about it carefully, I have made some bad movies. And the audience has treated me very badly these years.
My attention is indeed not on which drama or role, but on which scandal I have, which set of clothes, well - and my foot odor."
"Does it really stink?"
"you……"
"No, no, hey, I mean no one is perfect. Who in this world doesn't have any criticism? It's normal. Don't think too much about it."
"Yes, no one has any criticism yet. But I am an actor. Look at what people call me, traffic star, sales queen. Oh, even 'criticism' is not in my profession.
Teacher Deliang also had criticisms, saying that everyone he played was Kangxi. I don’t say whether those criticisms were justified, but it just showed that he played Kangxi well. Teacher Yuanzheng was also scolded by the audience because of the domestic violence man he played, Ming Qi
Auntie's performance as Rong Mo Mo was also scolded by the audience, but that all shows that the character she played was too vivid, making the audience unable to distinguish between the inside and outside of the play, which shows that her acting skills are good.
If people have to face criticism while living in this world, I hope it will be this kind of criticism. But in fact, all the movies I have acted in are bad. If the acting is good, the script is good. It doesn’t matter whether I co-write or write a good one.
No bad thing can escape me, how do you think I am a failure?"
"Don't say that, you know it's a bad movie - just don't take it anymore."
"Alas! You don't understand what's going on in our industry, and I have no choice. Didn't the three teachers just say that there are not many investors who want to make movies seriously now. The movie market is so hot now.
, Falsely high, many investors only need to know actresses, have good relationships with local officials, and make some money. What they invest in are bad movies, so of course I won’t be so serious about acting, which is helpless!”
"I'm so helpless! You're wrong to say that. Which of Mr. Li Xuejian's movies is a bad movie? Which of Mr. Liu Huan's songs is a mouth-watering song? What's so helpless? You're still willing to accept it, but you don't have the money.
?”
"It's missing."
"ah?"
"Do you know about the 'gambling agreement'?"
"Nonsense, I have been in business for so many years, how can I not know that..."
However, Lu Yuchi's understanding of "gambling agreements" in business is really different from what Yang Mi said in the entertainment industry.
Yang Mi explained to Lu Yuchi.
First of all, Lu Yuchi said "no answer" is very easy, but for a young actor like Yang Mi, "no answer" means offending someone. Because many investors and businessmen are related, if you offend one, you will often
It offended a chain of relationships.
Just like Lu Yuchi's first variety show, even if Yang Mi and Lu Yuchi didn't know each other beforehand, Yang Mi had to think twice before rejecting a wealthy young man like Lu Yuchi. And Lu Yuchi was also "playing for fun" at the time, but Lu Yuchi
She is connected to Qi Wu again. If Yang Mi offends Qi Wu, it will be difficult for her to get along in this circle.
Yang Mi is still like this today, not to mention that in the years when she first debuted, she really didn't dare to say the word "not accepted" easily. Things have gotten much better in the past few years, but the "betting agreement" has become a key issue again.
A prison that trapped her.
The "gambling agreement" in Lu Yuchi's concept has nothing to do with gambling. It is a commercial behavior. If translated literally, it should be a "valuation adjustment mechanism", which is equivalent to a disguised option. In order to protect the interests of investors, reduce
investment risk.
It sounds very profound to say this, but let’s give a straightforward example.
For example, A is rich but doesn’t know how to cook, but B says that he is very good at cooking and can do it. So A pays for the ingredients and asks B to cook them. After the meal is ready, the two of them share the delicious meal, and A is willing to do so.
But this raises a question, what if Person B is not as good at cooking as he said and can't make this meal? Has A spent money and has nothing to eat?
So A makes a request. If B makes a good meal, it’s okay to eat together. If B not only can’t make delicious dishes, but even the things he makes are inedible, then for example, A spends a thousand yuan to buy these ingredients, and B doesn’t have too much.
——For a compensation of two or three hundred, at least the two of them can go out for a meal together after struggling for a long time.
Fair and reasonable, right? Not too much, right?
But the "gambling agreement" that Yang Mi mentioned in their entertainment industry turned out to be real gambling.
Investors are all businessmen, but most entertainers in the entertainment industry are not good at business and do not even have basic business knowledge. Some of them are eager for quick success and hope to make money as soon as possible and expand their popularity as soon as possible. They do not consider the rationality of the contract when making investments.
Nor does it avoid risks, which just allows businessmen who want to maximize profits to see opportunities.
Let's take the example of "A and B" wanting to eat this meal. A invests a thousand dollars, and the food made by B must not only be good to A, but also attract many people to be willing to spend money to buy it. At this time, A is still willing to share this meal with B
gourmet food.
But if the food made by B does not meet this requirement, A will not only demand full compensation from B, but will even increase the price. And even if B compensates, A will not take B out to eat together. In other words, B will compensate
That's called thoroughness.
Moreover, they have signed such a "betting agreement" with each other, but the artists have forgotten how complicated the environment they are in is. It is easy to make a good meal, but in the entertainment industry, it is difficult to make a good meal.
It may not be sold.
Not to mention how many people will cause trouble for you, the artist's own image is interfered by too many factors. And when someone makes trouble, the result of the damage to the image is that the artist's "food" cannot be sold no matter how good it is.
If you can't sell it, you will have to pay high and not so reasonable compensation.
No matter if a cook owes gambling debts or abandons his wife and children, as long as his skills remain unchanged, the food he cooks will not be affected. But some artists, who were famous yesterday, have become "street rats" today.
There are too many variables here.
Artists also know that the variables are too high and the compensation is too high, so after signing this kind of agreement, they can only take on more dramas while they still have value. How can quality be guaranteed in this way?
