Chapter 497: Meeting
Chinese After lunch, Yuan Yuan began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Ye Jingjia, Wen Zhengchen, and Yan Bucheng sat in the conference room, and it was a rare meeting to have a serious meeting.
The content of the meeting, of course, is to put work first.
After all, although Ye Jingjia's arrangements for this year are full, there is nothing to do next year's work.
It's not that there are no invitations, on the contrary, all kinds of scene invitations are piled up.
Originally, I didn't accept it because Ye Jingjia was picky and wanted to pick slowly, not for a picture, just for liking.
But I don't take it now, but for other reasons, and it's a bit embarrassing to say it, and that's - money.
Because she suddenly decided to rent a building, design, decorate, buy furniture, and other series of things, the studio's finances were almost in deficit.
A penny is hard to die a hero, and Ye Jingjia is no different.
Now, it is impossible for her to just do it for personal preferences, without considering the future development of the studio, without financial support, she can't afford the rent alone, not to mention that next year she will spend a lot of money to promote the men's group to the top position, as well as recruit talents, and fill various positions in the studio.
The original direction of development based on movies had to be suspended.
The reason is easy to understand, making movies does not make money. In other words, Ye Jingjia's movies are not profitable.
The remuneration given to actors in good movies has never been much, and Gu Bai's remuneration for movies is even more pitiful.
Ye Jingjia's successive movies are all big productions, good movies, and the blessing of famous directors, so this remuneration is not even comparable to the remuneration of a second- or third-tier TV drama actor for a TV series.
It's a bit miserable to say it.
Film actors are seriously polarized, and if you want to be in a big production by a famous director, the salary is naturally low, unless the actor himself is a three-gold actor, a movie queen, or a super star who can afford the box office.
Most of the time, even high-quality actors like Ye Jingjia and Ning Lutong, who are unique in Xiaohuadan with their acting skills, make a big-budget movie shot by a well-known director, and the remuneration is more than eight figures.
You must know that now third-tier TV drama cafes dare to shout an eight-figure salary.
If it's a garbage movie, it often pays very high. But at the same time, garbage movies consume the popularity of actors, and if one is not careful, the box office is riddled with poison, and it is difficult for actors to turn over.
Whether to exchange reputation for money, or rely on acting skills for trophies and status in the circle is a difficult problem.
The reason why most actors are willing to go to big movies, or even lower their salaries to get good movies, is mostly for awards and honorary status.
Although the salary is small, but in a big movie, the identity of the actor is immediately different!
For example, An Yi, since taking over the filming of "Nine Diary", his salary has doubled, and he has been endorsing constantly. That's right, if there is a good movie, actor endorsement advertisements will also skyrocket.
Celebrities receive all kinds of endorsements, commercial performances, and platforms, which is the real money-making job.
As for Ye Jingjia, there are almost no endorsements and commercial performances, and as for the platform, it is also sporadic, so it is extremely poor.
The only two big money she has ever earned is from "Bit by Bit Impression" and the other from "Hua Yin Biography", what they have in common is that they are both TV series.
Ye Jingjia sighed faintly, and suddenly regretted her previous willfulness, she should make more money.
For the sake of money, Wen Zhengchen discussed future development with her before.
Ye Jingjia's reply was very concise and clear, make money first.
At this moment, Wen Zhengchen handed a document in his hand to Ye Jingjia and introduced, "Through last night's premiere, many well-known jewelers sent invitations, hoping to cooperate, including endorsements. Van Cleef & Arpels expressed its willingness to cooperate with us for the next event. ”
Van Cleef & Arpels is indeed a very rare brand, but Ye Jingjia herself didn't want to agree, she looked at the content of the invitation, and only said, "Let it go." ”
Getting involved with Van Cleef & Arpels too early always makes people feel that the necklace is for show, which is the last thing she wants to see. Ye Jingjia skipped Van Cleef & Arpels and looked at the various invitations marked out.
Most of the endorsement invitations are domestic brands, and the prices are not bad. Foreign brands are mainly based on product promotion, off-site, and new store openings. These invitations could not make her heart and satisfaction.
Ye Jingjia thought for a while, and finally said, "Wait a little longer for the advertising thing." Wait until I get back from Fashion Week. ”
When it came to Fashion Week, Wen Zhengchen thought about it, nodded and said, "It's okay, maybe there will be a better harvest in Fashion Week." ”
Fashion Week in September is a huge opportunity.
They are hoping that Fashion Week will bring surprises and gains, but they don't know that Fashion Week is full of dangers, and it may be a trip with no return.
"What date has the fashion week been set, and will it conflict with the shooting of a new movie?"
"I asked Gu Bai before, and he said that there was no conflict. ”
Since the matter of advertising will be talked about later, Wen Zhengchen took out another folder and handed it to Ye Jingjia, "There are a few TV series here, and the price is very expensive." ”
Each one is a big eight-figure salary, which is quite exciting.
"It's really profitable to make TV series now. Ye Jingjia couldn't help but sigh, thinking back to her salary for making Gu Bai's movie, it couldn't catch up with a fraction of a TV series.
Although the money is indeed considerable, Ye Jingjia, who opened the script, still refuses in her heart, which is boring, perfunctory, and routine.
Seeing her frowning, obviously unwilling to accept it, Yan Bucheng, who had been silent, couldn't help but interject, "After all, high-production TV series such as "Splendid Relationship" and "Hua Yin's Biography" are a minority, and they can't produce one in a few years. The few dramas selected by Brother Wen are already the best of the best. Besides, the filming time is short, it can be completed in about a month or two, and the crew will prepare all kinds of stand-ins for you, if it's for money, there's nothing you can't bear. ”
"This is the development status of TV dramas?" Ye Jingjia couldn't help but turn her head and ask.
In her previous life, she endured too much for money, and this life is really enough.
"Well, now there are many TV stations and online platforms, so there are many dramas. Yan Bucheng said with a smile, in his opinion, there are actually a few dramas that are quite good, and they will definitely be popular after the performance!
"Oh, look at this, it's also a change drama, as popular as "The Legend of Huayin"!" said Yan Bucheng, pulling out a copy.
After watching it for a long time, Ye Jingjia still accepted incompetence, how to say it.
The characters lack souls, the main story line is missing, and it feels like this drama should be very long, but the screenwriter cut a lot of content.
"Wait, wait. She helplessly held her forehead, feeling a critical blow in her heart.
If she acts in these dramas, she herself will have a troubled conscience.
"It's pretty good-looking, but the screenwriter's adaptation is a bit bloody. Yan Bucheng said.
"Forget it, let's put the TV series on the table for a while, let me take a closer look. Ye Jingjia waved her hand, not wanting to say any more, "Before that, let's solve a problem." ”
Wen Zhengchen and Yan Bucheng looked at her in unison, only to hear her say, "Who did what happened last night Chinese?"
