Chapter 501(1/2)
on Monday.
Shengqi Entertainment Headquarters.
At the Blue Brand mobile phone launch conference a few days ago, Jia Haochen was very unhappy when asked by reporters.
Taking advantage of today's work meeting, Jia Haochen directly asked his agent: "Does the company have any plans for a new drama for me?"
This issue is not something a manager can decide, so the manager can only turn to artist director Chen Juqi.
Chen Juqi replied casually: "The focus of your work is still on the big screen. You don't need to waste energy on TV series."
Now, Jia Haochen is still the most profitable artist of Shengqi Entertainment.
The character of "The Youngest Mr. 5 Billion" is very capable.
Although Fang Xing's two animated films, "Spirited Away" and "My Neighbor Totoro", had a total box office of over 5 billion, animated films are not on the same track as Jia Haochen.
Moreover, Jia Haochen earned 5 billion in box office as an actor, but Fang Xing is an animated film director.
The two people have completely different identities on the big screen, and they are also not on the same track.
Therefore, even though some netizens feel that Jia Haochen is no longer the "youngest Mr. 5 billion", this view has not spread.
Moreover, Fang Xing's total box office is 5.5 billion, and after adding Jia Haochen and "The Frozen Warriors", the total box office is already 6.8 billion.
Even if some people question Jia Haochen's character as the "youngest Mr. 5 billion", fans will use the total box office figures to suppress him.
Therefore, Jia Haochen's character as "the youngest Mr. 5 billion" can still stand.
Although the "Frozen Warriors" project suffered losses, after discussions with Shengqi Entertainment executives, they believed that they should continue to create Jia Haochen's movie star character.
However, "Frozen Warriors" lost 200 million after all. Even if Shengqi Entertainment is one of the three giants in the entertainment industry, it will still be in pain.
Therefore, no new film and television projects have been launched yet.
It is impossible to put all the responsibility for the loss of "Frozen Warriors" on one actor, so Jia Haochen never felt that the loss of "Frozen Warriors" was his fault.
Hearing Chen Juqi say that he had no film and television plans, Jia Haochen was a little dissatisfied and stared at his agent: "You said at the press conference that the schedule was all set, but now you have no projects?"
The agent said speechlessly: "That's to appease the fans. However, there are indeed talks about film and television projects, and the schedule is indeed set aside, but it may not be accepted."
Top-notch people like Jia Haochen work on an hourly basis to make money.
He does have some schedules left in his work schedule.
If these free time slots are negotiated into a film and television project, they can be arranged directly.
If there are no film and television plans in the end, you can also immediately receive commercial performances and fill in the schedule.
With Jia Haochen's current popularity, he can be offered commercial roles at any time if he is willing.
"What project are you talking about? A TV series or a movie?" Jia Haochen immediately asked.
The agent is not responsible for contacting film and television resources, but the company's senior management, so the agent cannot answer the question.
Chen Juqi replied: "It's Deng Huiling's new drama. We're just in preliminary talks, and we haven't written anything about it yet. Moreover, the other company is not very active."
The name Deng Huiling is unknown to everyone in the entertainment industry.
Because Deng Huiling was the Best Actress at the 30th Eagle Awards.
The just-concluded Flying Eagle Awards was the 33rd.
In other words, Deng Huiling got the Flying Eagle Queen's Trophy that Song Li always wanted to win a few years ago.
Speaking of which, things are really strange.
Song Li and Deng Huiling have both been nominated for the Flying Eagle Award three times.
The difference is that Song Li was nominated three times but did not win the award, while Deng Huiling was nominated for the third time and won the award.
What's more coincidental is that when Song Li and Deng Huiling were nominated for the Eagle Awards for the first time, they were both at the 27th Eagle Awards.
The Flying Eagle Award is held every two years.
When the two of them were nominated for the Eagle Award for the first time, they were both still young, and they were both running along.
Later, Deng Huiling was nominated for the Eagle Award for the third time and won the 30th Eagle Award for Television Actress.
Song Li’s second nomination was in the 29th session, and her third nomination was in the 33rd session.
It happened to be staggered with Deng Huiling’s 30th session.
As a result, Song Li was nominated three times but failed to win the award.
Deng Huiling is already the queen of flying eagles.
It was the same three nominations, but one got what he wanted, and the other still didn't win the award.
However, although Deng Huiling is the Queen of Eagle TV, she still lacks one of the three major TV drama awards, and that is the Golden Eyebrow Award.
And Song Li already has the trophy of the Golden Eyebrow Award.
The three major TV drama awards are the Flying Eagle Award, the Golden Eyebrow Award and the Gladiolus Award.
Song Li has the Golden Eyebrow Award and the Gladiolus Award, but lacks the Flying Eagle Award.
Deng Huiling has the Flying Eagle Award and the Gladiolus Award, but lacks the Golden Eyebrow Award.
Therefore, gossip reporters often compare the two queens.
There are also many viewers who feel that Song Li's dramas that were shortlisted for the 29th Flying Eagle Awards are of higher quality than Deng Huiling's dramas that won the award in the 30th.
People often say that if Song Li's 29th "View of the Mountains and Seas" had been filmed a year later and participated in the 30th Eagle Awards, then Deng Huiling's rear view trophy should have been hers.
Of course, this assumption is that Guan Gong fights Qin Qiong, which can only be used as conversation material after dinner.
Because they are all short of a trophy.
Deng Huiling's desire to win the Golden Eyebrow Award is similar to Song Li's desire to win the Flying Eagle Award.
…
When questioned by reporters a few days ago, what made Jia Haochen most unhappy was that Song Li chose to cooperate with Fang Xing just after the Flying Eagle Award.
The speed was so fast, it seemed that it was really because Fang Xing defeated him in the Flying Eagle Award and won Song Li away.
When Jia Haochen heard that it was Deng Huiling's new drama, he immediately became interested: "Will you continue to contact me? I can act in Deng Huiling's drama."
Chen Juqi shook his head and smiled, pouring cold water on him: "Now it's not a question of whether you are willing to act, it is a question of whether Deng Huiling is willing to cooperate."
Jia Haochen suddenly frowned: "What level of investment? Can't I even meet her requirements?"
Chen Juqi explained: "Now Deng Huiling prefers to work with actors of the emperor's level. Tianji Film and Television is in talks with Wu Zhikang and Xu Zhiwen."
Wu Zhikang was originally the Golden Peng Emperor, and he was nominated for the Golden Eyebrow Award last year.
The Golden Roc Award is not among the three major TV drama awards, but it can be regarded as one of the four in terms of gold content.
Therefore, there is no problem with Wu Zhikang's acting skills. He was nominated for the Golden Eyebrow Award last year.
This is critical.
What Deng Huiling lacks is the Golden Eyebrow Award.
The judges of an award must have preferences.
Wu Zhikang's nomination for the Golden Eyebrow Award shows that he is in line with the preferences of the judges of the Golden Eyebrow Award.
If Tang Huiling wants to compete for the Golden Eyebrow Award, it will be more or less helpful to cooperate with an actor of this type.
As for Xu Zhiwen, although he has not won an award yet, he just played "Gao Qiqiang" last year. He is also a professor at the film school, and his acting skills are not inferior to those of Shidi.
When Jia Haochen heard the names of Wu Zhikang and Xu Zhiwen, he knew that the competition this time was fierce:
"Is there no hope left?"
Chen Juqi was silent for a moment and replied: "It's not that there is no chance at all, it's just that you have to pay some price if you want to negotiate."
"What price? As long as I can win this drama, I can reduce the salary." Jia Haochen took the initiative to reduce the salary.
Moreover, when he took the initiative to reduce the salary, he could only reduce his own portion.
He is an artist of Shengqi Entertainment, and 60% of his salary belongs to Shengqi Entertainment.
Just because he is willing to reduce his salary does not mean that Shengqi Entertainment is willing to do so.
Therefore, all he can reduce is the 40% he took.
Chen Juqi shook his head and said: "It's not about the salary. It's Deng Huiling's intention to want Wu Zhikang and Xu Zhiwen. However, her company doesn't completely think so."
"Isn't Deng Huiling a shareholder of Tianji Film and Television? How can Tianji Film and Television have differences with her?" Jia Haochen was a little surprised.
The agent explained on the side: "When Deng Huiling won the Flying Eagle Award and was at the height of her popularity, the contract expired. This incident was very sensational at the time. In order to renew the contract with Deng Huiling, Tianji Pictures opened shares as a condition.
"So, Deng Huiling is indeed a shareholder of Tianji Film and Television, but she is the third largest shareholder.
"The other two shareholders of Tianji Film and Television paid such a large price to renew Deng Huiling's contract, not to help her realize her dream, but to make money.
"The money that Tianji Film and Television spent on Deng Huiling will definitely be earned back from other places, so as long as better conditions can be offered, there is still room for negotiation with Tianji Film and Television."
When Jia Haochen heard this, he expressed his position: "Mr. Chen, I want to act in this drama. Cooperating with Deng Huiling will definitely be helpful for future development."
He really wanted to cooperate with Kelly Tang.
