Chapter 132 Money Society
Beside Shao Qiu stood his agent, behind him were his bodyguards of two assistants and part-time drivers. A group of people stood in front of the screening hall, and they seemed very imposing.
Xiong Dawei is added to the crowd, and this lineup is grand enough.
The actor's agent is an older sister in her forties. It is said that she has been with Shao Qiu since her debut. Later, Shao Qiu has been with him for job change. The two have worked together for more than ten years.
This agent dressed very conservatively, looking like a traditional urban work woman.
He is also very dedicated and usually looks like an invisible person. He can't find her existence without looking for it seriously.
At critical moments, they will suddenly stand up and fire or block the gun for Shao Qiu.
Simply put, it is just that she offended people and her agent did things that made people happy, and she gave them to Shao Qiu.
He is simply a perfect super agent.
Shao Qiu himself was quite excited, and the preview was usually hosted by the producer.
Even if he is the best actor, he used to stand next to the producer and be responsible for "helping".
I won't be the master of the whole show like today.
No matter how famous an actor is or how high his pay is, he is still a job.
And the producer is the "boss".
When encountering some powerful directors who have been famous for many years, the producers will inevitably become logistics managers and financial directors.
Most of the time, the producers are the managers of the crew, and the directors and actors are all workers responsible for specific work.
This is why Shao Qiu was so excited. He got rid of his identity as a tool man and was successfully promoted to management.
This is not because he invested part of the money and made a false name for a producer, but because he was a real producer.
As long as the next few movies have good results and guarantee good profits, he will officially squeeze into the poker table and become a player, not a bargaining chip in the hands of the players.
It is the difference in the food chain within the industry, from herbivores to predators.
Xiong Dawei can quite understand Shao Qiu's mood.
When he was a young actor in Sunshine City, not everyone treated him as a tool and his status was even lower than that of the crew.
When he invested money to film a TV series by himself, he was the old man in the crew. Everyone had to be obedient and the feeling of being a manager was so cool.
At this time, people kept walking into the door.
"This is Manager Liu from the New Guanghe Academy." Shao Qiu would say hello to someone first and then introduce him to Xiong Dawei.
Xiong Dawei would politely say hello to others, say hello to long-term reverence, and exchange business cards.
Most of the people who came know Xiong Dawei. After all, the results of the Beach Ambulance Team and the Lieutenant Ranger were good, and the good ones were beyond the expectations of many people.
The beach ambulance team is a typical example of small profits and big investments, with more than two million investments in exchange for more than three million gains.
The Thunderbolt Rangers stole more than five points of viewership from all, becoming the annual hit drama of Pacific TV.
Xiong Dawei's name also slowly spread out.
And everyone in the industry knows that this old man invested in it himself.
What they like most is this type of boss who is not short of money and is willing to spend their own money to make movies.
Commonly known as: stupid people and a lot of money.
"The new picture of Director Cai."
"Manager Zhang of Jiulian."
"Qilin Film and Television President Feng."
“…”
After someone enters, Shao Qiu will whisper to explain the other party’s back and strength. For example, the new screen is a subsidiary of a large commercial real estate developer.
They have their own comprehensive commercial square projects in major cities across the country, operated by subsidiaries such as hotels, catering, culture, tourism and entertainment.
Jiulian was originally a joint venture between Jiujia Private Cinemas in the Magic City, and has now expanded to more than 600 private cinemas in the south to join members.
Similar to the status of the guild, Jiulian's name has been preserved.
From this we can see Shao Qiu's experienced handling and connections, and most of these theater managers know each other.
Even if he is really handsome, his agent will immediately whisper the company and identity of the person whenever he sees Shao Qiu's face.
Xiong Dawei was a little envious. Why didn’t he have such a powerful agent?
Manager Huang has been looking for him for a long time, but he has not found a suitable candidate. Now Manager Huang is handling Xiong Dawei's economic affairs personally.
Fortunately, he doesn't shoot advertisements, doesn't play TV shows, and doesn't run advertisements, saving a lot of trouble.
The few people who followed in changed Shao Qiu's face and showed a helpless smile first.
Xiong Dawei was quite curious about what identities these people were.
After several people walked in, Shao Qiu even took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his hand to shake the other party, and smiled and said, "Mr. Huang is so good lately."
The old man in his fifties and sixties across the street nodded carelessly and said, "TOEFL, it's okay, it's Aqiu, you finally stopped shooting martial arts. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and finally let me wait. Always shooting boring martial arts will not be good for you."
Shao Qiu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Breakthrough always takes time."
"You don't act well, but I won't say good things to you."
Shao Qiu said confidently: "I am confident in the quality of the new work."
The old man waved his hand and led the man directly in.
Xiong Dawei asked strangely: "Which theater boss is this? Is this a big story?"
If you can say in front of you, Shao Qiu’s martial arts auction is not good... Yes, this is awesome!
Probably the top tycoon in the industry.
Shao Qiu snorted and laughed: "What boss, the film review columnist of "Southern New News"."
Xiong Dawei nodded in a clear understanding and said, "Film critic."
Shao Qiu shook his head slightly and whispered: "If you can offend these people, try not to offend them. Just say a few good words and hold them."
"What? The energy is very high?" Xiong Dawei was surprised.
I have never heard of it. If you can even make the actor say something that cannot be offended, you should be a powerful person in the industry.
Why have people from Pacific TV never mentioned him before? It seems that Pacific TV has found many film critics to hype their "Knightsman".
Shao Qiu sneered and teased, "A bunch of film critics' underworlds who provoke them will keep chasing disgusting people."
Xiong Dawei said oh, and he understood what was going on.
The eldest sister, the agent behind Shao Qiu, suddenly spoke out and said mockingly: "A few sour pens really treat themselves as big names who guide the development of the film industry."
Shao Qiu shrugged and said, "It's okay, at least this Mr. Huang doesn't charge any money and his words are fair."
He patted Xiong Dawei: "You don't have to worry. To put it bluntly, they are from newspapers. Your company spends a lot of advertising expenses on the media every year, and they are the funders that their newspapers dare not offend."
Xiong Dawei couldn't help laughing. He spent a lot of money on advertising costs of 20 million yuan a year, but it even brought this benefit.
He couldn't help but mutter, "Thank you for the evil money society."
Shao Qiu was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, the money society, just like Big Bear, you said, you can really do whatever you want if you have money."
The time is almost the same, the ones that should come are almost the same, and the rest are also late.
Shao Qiu and Xiong Dawei returned to the screening hall, and sat in more than half of them with more than 200 seats.
They are all managers, deputy managers, management of film companies, and some film critics and reporters specially contacted by Shao Qiu.
It is a direct reflection of Shao Qiu, the double-produced actress, who has accumulated contacts in the 16 years since the film industry.
When the lights in the hall dimmed, the Panda Media logo lit up on the screen, a cute panda with white face and dark circles and a red tongue.
This sign alone made the audience laugh.
Then there is the logo of Shao Qiu’s own Spring and Autumn Film and Television, a calligraphy font with two characters Spring and Autumn.
The next scene is "Producer, Shao Qiu, Xiong Dawei", and then director "Wei Liangfu".
Xiong Dawei's seat was in the front row, with Xu Yingluo next to him, and Sisi sat between Xu Yingluo and Huilan's hearts and snatched Xiong Dawei's supreme throne.
She also had a big bucket of butter popcorn and was very happy to eat. In fact, she came to eat and drink freely.
Xu Yingluo naturally held Xiong Dawei's hand, with her fingers intertwined, and asked in a low voice: "Why did it take so long?"
"With Shao Qiu picking up customers, he introduced some people from theaters."
Xu Yingluo nodded slightly and chuckled, "Our actors are really unspeakable in life."
Xiong Dawei thought for a while and said, "This is probably why he can succeed."
The editing of this movie was done by Wei Liangfu personally, and Shao Qiu also participated and gave a lot of opinions.
The film is 92 minutes long and short, and is the favorite length of the cinema.
