Broadcasting Road Inside a high-end apartment.

The popular actress Huang Xingxiu of TVB made two cups of coffee, put it in front of the guest and her husband Chen Baixiang, and smiled and said: Mr. Rong, please use it slowly.

Have worked hard.The guest nodded and thanked.

At this moment, the guest of Chen Baixiang's house was Rong Yilun, a famous agent of Oriental Entertainment. His purpose was naturally to dig Chen Baixiang over.

Hong Kong films have become more and more prosperous in recent years, and any actors with a little fame have become popular, and they don’t have to worry about not having a film contract, so that artists in Oriental Entertainment have terminated their contracts from time to time.

The reason why these people terminated the contract was just to monopolize the salary. They felt that it was too much of a loss to give Oriental Entertainment a brokerage.

However, the termination of contracts by Oriental Entertainment has disappeared in recent months. Some actors who have left before also want to return to the arms of Oriental Entertainment.

It’s not that Oriental Entertainment’s share has decreased, but that the actors who ran out solo suffered a loss.

The production of Hong Kong films in the first half of this year has reached a peak again, with an average of more than 8 movies released every month, and sometimes even 12 movies released a month.

Such a terrifying production volume has a huge demand for actors, and it also leads to a mixture of dragons and snakes in this circle.

Those actors who went to take on the film themselves were either cheated and could not get paid, or were dismissed from the ticket and died of a play for more than half a year.

Celebrities are all public people. They are embarrassed to yell when they are cheated. It is troublesome to start a lawsuit. Not to mention whether they can win, even if they win the lawsuit, they waste months of time and energy, and they earn more than that.

What’s even more unlucky is that you are the producer when you meet a gangster. You are lucky enough to be able to finish the movie safely.

These people rely on the connection between relatives and friends when they receive videos. If something happens, they often cause the relationship between relatives and friends. Not only does they fail to make money, they even have no good friends to do.

It would be different if you sign with Oriental Entertainment. From signing a film to finishing the filming, professional lawyers will participate in the entire process, and there will basically be no mess.

Artists under Oriental Entertainment Company have also encountered gangs who don’t pay for movies.

At first, we still asked people from the gang to negotiate, but in the end, Oriental Entertainment didn't take any time. We paid for the actors' pay, and then blacklisted the film company and the entire core team members of the drama, from directors, photographers to makeup artists, these people will not expect to take orders from Oriental Entertainment in the future.

The most cruel thing is that Oriental Entertainment also released this blacklist, which made it well known to everyone in the entertainment industry, so that these people were isolated and could not survive. They could only leave Hong Kong and go to Taipei and Singapore, or they could not fall into degeneration and stay in Hong Kong to make some junk movies.

Your club gang is very cool, right?

I can't cure you, and I can't cure those directors and photographers who work with you?

If it weren't forcing now, no director would be willing to cooperate with the club to make movies, even if he wanted to shoot, he would get the money in place first, or he would simply not invite a contracted artist from Oriental Entertainment Company.

Oriental Entertainment Company is the nanny of artists. As long as they are signed under Oriental Entertainment, artists only need to establish a good relationship with their agents. Naturally, companies will come forward to solve everything else, and they don’t have to look at people’s faces and accompany dinners everywhere.

The business method of Oriental Entertainment is somewhat similar to Hollywood entertainment giant CAA, but there are big differences.

This is mainly determined by the different entertainment environments of Hollywood and Hong Kong. Behind CAA is the entire North American entertainment market, and there are countless film companies and TV stations.

But Hong Kong is different. There are only two TV stations, and one of them does not do business with Oriental Entertainment Company at all, which destined that many of the business methods of CAA are not working in Hong Kong.

Oriental Entertainment has also absorbed some successful experiences of CAA, such as betrayal cost, so that the company's agents cannot easily take away their artists when they leave.

Also, taking advantage of the overall advantages of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group and the insecurity brought to artists by the Hong Kong gang forces invading the entertainment industry, bringing double attraction to artists.

Putting aside these things, at least staying at Oriental Entertainment has more development prospects than relying on your own connections to get out. Maybe one day you will have the opportunity to take on a big director's film.

Even if you can't make a good job in the movie industry, you can go to the TV station to shoot series, shoot commercials, be hosts, receive variety shows and announcements, and you won't starve to death no matter how bad you are.

Most importantly, Oriental Entertainment has a professional behind-the-scenes team. When it feels that a star has potential, it will package and promote it. When a star has scandals, it can quickly conduct crisis public relations or even take the opportunity to hype. This is something that the star cannot do.

Especially after Kang Jianfei became Paramount's second largest shareholder, Oriental Entertainment was even more attractive because there were rumors that Paramount had signed a cooperation agreement with Oriental Entertainment.

In the future, Asian actors who are well-known in Paramount movies will be recommended by Oriental Entertainment to participate in the audition.

Although Hong Kong is well-known for its title of Oriental Hollywood, which Hong Kong actor doesn’t want to make a name for himself in Hollywood?The current Oriental Entertainment Company has become a powerful springboard for insiders to enter Hollywood.

In just a few months, the number of signed artists of Oriental Entertainment Company has increased sharply. Now, including all professions such as actors, directors, screenwriters, and photographers, the number of registered signed artists of Oriental Entertainment Company has reached 412, and there are actually insufficient professional agents in the short term.

Rong Yilun is the agent who joined Oriental Entertainment Company the next year before. He has done a good job in the past two years and is now sent by the company to poach Chen Baixiang.

In other words, if I sign it, my agency contract belongs to Oriental Entertainment Company and has little to do with Feng Huáng TV and Macau TV.But is the share of "28 open" a little too much?

Chen Baixiang asked as he looked at the brokerage contract the other party brought.

Rong Yilun explained: Mr. Chen, the 28-point account is already very reasonable. Many popular celebrities pay 37, and only Fa Ge, Hong Gu and others pay 19.As long as you sign in to our Oriental Entertainment Company, you will find how worthwhile this 28-point account is. You don’t need to consider packaging, publicity, hype, accepting orders, and suing. You just need to shoot a good show, be a good host and wait to collect money.

Rong Yilun tried very hard to sign Chen Baixiang. In the future, 15% of the money Chen Baixiang earned belongs to the company and 5% belongs to his agent.

Now all aspects of Oriental Entertainment Company have been institutionalized, and its newcomers and companies are divided into 50,000 yuan, which means that the pay for filming is 100,000 yuan, so the new actors can only get 50,000 yuan, and the rest belongs to the company and agents.

As for the already famous artists, they are basically 37 points. For example, Chen Baixiang is very famous. Only when they reach the top level can they be 19 points.

Although the 19-cent account is small, the money earned by such stars for the company is several times more than other actors. Among the more than 400 contracted artists of Oriental Entertainment Company, there are no more than ten people who can 19-cent account.

Chen Baixiang asked: If I transfer to Oriental Entertainment, can I really play the second male lead in Mr. Kang’s new film?

Rong Yilun smiled and said: Not only can he star in Mr. Kang's new film, the semi-finals of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant are about to be held. If Mr. Chen, you signed it early, you might be able to be the emcee in the semi-finals.

Chen Baixiang's eyes lit up. The ratings of the two major beauty contests in Hong Kong were so high that they were a chance to show their faces.

Unfortunately, Rong Yilun promised the semi-finals. If he was the host of the beauty pageant final, Chen Baixiang might agree immediately.

But it is impossible to think about it. No matter how famous Chen Baixiang is, he is still a newcomer now when he switches jobs. He can steal the old man's position in one go. That will attract more people to hate Ah, and it would be nice to be able to host the beauty pageant semi-finals.

I'll consider it again and I'll give you a reply within three days.

Chen Baixiang said that he was a little confused now, and the treatment after changing jobs attracted him, but the wireless station treats him well, not to mention that he has many friends working on wireless stations.

Of course, it's better for Mr. Chen to do as soon as possible, because Mr. Kang's new film is already in preparation, and maybe one day he will change his mind to another actor.

After Rong Yilun finished speaking, he didn't persuade him anymore and stood up and said goodbye and left.

After Rong Yilun left, Chen Baixiang asked his wife: A Xiu, do you think I should jump to Oriental Entertainment?

Jump, who has the opportunity and ability, who doesn’t want to leave TVB?Huang Xingxiu said without thinking about it.

Huang Xingxiu is a TVB actress who was about the same time as Chen Yulian. Later, after the TV appointment was over, she left TVB to shoot a movie and went to Taiwan for two years.

Taiwanese movies are not behind, Huang Xingxiu returned to Hong Kong and joined TVB. As a result, she only filmed one TV series and retired due to pain. At the end of last year, she recovered from injury and filmed another film "Southern Fist Cai Lifo", with ratings stably lower than Feng Huáng's Taiwan side.

When TVB saw Huang Xingxiu becoming popular again, she immediately wanted to sign a long-term contract with her, but Huang Xingxiu chose to marry Chen Baixiang and become a full-time housewife.

Then jump.Chen Baixiang finally made a decision. He has only been married for two or three months, and now the financial pressure is huge, so it is a good thing to make more money.

By the way, Chen Baixiang is also very business-minded. At the age of 20, he started with the 40,000 yuan he earned from singing at night and working at TVB. He opened three garment factories within three years, with a net worth of over 10 million yuan, and bought five luxury cars.

Unfortunately, this guy was not lucky. He encountered the chaotic period of Hong Kong's economy during the Sino-British negotiations. The factory went bankrupt and owed a lot of debts. Even the money applied for bankruptcy was borrowed from Alan Tam or the money that he deposited from Alan Tam.

With Chen Baixiang's intelligence and talent, in the years after his bankruptcy, he not only paid off his debts, but also earned millions of dollars.

As a result, this guy is too gambled. Last year's stock market crash once again made his deposit negative. Now he is busy all day long and almost can't even pay off his mortgage.

Mr. Kang's new film has some time left, and now it is mainly to win the emcee of the beauty pageant semi-finals.Chen Baixiang said to his wife.

The emcee of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant is not only Chen Baixiang wants to do it, but other signing hosts of Oriental Entertainment Company are also fighting for the fierce competition. The intensity of the competition is no less than the struggle between beauty pageants.
