After Ning Jing chatted with Jimmy, she ran to Yu Dong and the others with a smile, "Sister, brother-in-law, just now Brother Ji said he wanted to be my agent."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said: "This is a good thing. Jimmy and the others are very professional and should be able to help you a lot."
Yu Dong nodded, "Teacher Cheng is right, Jimmy can definitely help you a lot, but you have to work hard yourself and try to repay the agency. You can't let them work in vain, you know?"
Ning Jing looked at Yu Dong and blinked, "Brother-in-law, why do I feel like you are siding with the broker? Why are you still thinking about helping people make money?"
"I'm on the side of truth. Of course people have to make money when they start a company. Look at me, I've been writing non-stop over the years and publishing one work after another. Isn't it just to repay the agency for the hard work they put into me?
Only in this way can I be worthy of the company's contribution to me, and you must also learn from it."
"Ahem." Cheng Yanqiu coughed lightly and smiled at Ning Jing, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Just calm down. It's a blessing for their company that Jimmy can sign you."
After saying that, Cheng Yanqiu turned his head and rolled his eyes at Yu Dong.
It's a pity that Ning Jing didn't know that Shen Kong belonged to Yu Dong and his family, and she was a little bit swayed by Yu Dong's words.
Yes, my brother-in-law, a big celebrity, is still working so hard, so why should I, an actress who has just made a name for myself, not work hard?
Yu Dong continued to say, "You are still young, so you have to do a great job, and you must endure more hardships. You have some talent, but your foundation is too poor. You should study more and exercise more when you find time.
Of course, the drama cannot be interrupted, after all, actual combat is easier..."
On one side, he was pouring chicken soup for Ning Jing, while on the other side, Zhang Yimou and Zhao Baogang came over smiling and holding wine glasses.
When they arrived, Zhao Baogang smiled and said, "Teacher Yu is building values ​​​​for young people."
"Director Zhao was joking, so I just casually said, this is Tingjing. You must have seen it before, right?"
"Of course." Zhao Baogang nodded, "This year's "Sunny Days" starring Ning Jing caused quite a sensation."
Zhang Yimou also nodded, "Speaking of it, there is some connection. Ning Jing's previous performance in "Joining Detectives" was directed by teacher Guo Baochang. I even went to see it once."
Yu Dong felt a little familiar when he heard the name Guo Baochang, and then suddenly remembered that he should be the director of "The Mansion Gate".
Guo Baochang previously served as the art director of GX Film Studio and gave Zhang Yimou a lot of support. To a certain extent, he also had a kind relationship with Zhang Yimou. Therefore, it is not unusual for Zhang Yimou to go to the scene for Guo Baochang's scenes.
And later on, didn't Zhang Yimou also guest-starred as the eunuch Li Lianying in "The Mansion"? It was also the pinnacle of his acting career.
Thinking of this, Yu Dong couldn't help but ask, "Where is Teacher Guo now?"
Speaking of Guo Baochang's current situation, Zhang Yimou shook his head slightly, "Teacher Guo is quite stubborn. He started practicing behind closed doors at the end of last year and continued writing his "The Gate of the Mansion"."
Zhao Baogang next to him also sighed slightly. He knew something about Guo Baochang.
Guo Baochang started writing "The Mansion Gate" when he was in college, but later he did not finish it due to some special reasons.
However, he was also very perseverant, and he started writing again after a long time, but things didn't work out as he wished, something went wrong again, and "The Mansion Gate" continued to be shelved.
Even so, he still did not give up and kept on writing. Later, he finally finished "The Mansion Gate" (revised version).
However, instead of external worries, there were internal ones. After he divorced his wife, the manuscript of "The Mansion Gate" was burned by his wife.
After such twists and turns, most people have long lost hope. Unexpectedly, now that Guo Bao has turned fifty, he will pick up the pen again and start writing again.
When Yu Dong heard that Guo Baochang was writing "The Mansion Gate", he had some thoughts. He wondered if the Deep Space Company could participate in this plan.
However, he did not ask Zhang Yimou and the others any more questions, but planned to let Yiliang and the others contact Guo Baochang later.
Speaking of studio matters, Yu Dong looked at Zhang Yimou again, "Do you have any new plans recently?"
"Yes, we will start filming soon, "If You Have Something to Say". I haven't been able to wait for your script, so I asked someone else for a script."
Zhang Yimou smiled, but before Dong Yi could respond, he continued: "Actually, I really want to shoot your movie "Tree Hole" now, but I have to wait until the project at hand is completed. I don't know if you are willing.
I am willing to leave this novel to me."
"If no one else wants it, I'll leave it to you. If someone wants it, I won't keep it." Yu Dong said with a smile.
"..."
"Haha, I'm kidding, I'll keep it for you, but it will stay for three years at most. When the three years are up, don't blame me."
Zhang Yimou waved his hand, "No, if it's quick, we can start early next year. However, the screenwriter I'm working with this time is still very talented. Are you not considering signing a contract with Deep Space?"
Zhao Baogang laughed at the side and said: "Director Zhang, you are really good at Deep Space. You are always trying to help them recruit talents. What is the name of this screenwriter? Have we heard of it?"
"You probably haven't heard of Director Zhao. He just emerged last year and published a novel "Through Desire" this year. My new movie is adapted from his debut novel "Evening News" last year. His name is Wang Shuping."
"I have never heard of him, but since Director Zhang said he is talented, it must be right."
Yu Dong said: "I have written down this name. I will tell Yuliang later that if we really find a talent, I will thank you on behalf of the Deep Space Company. But let me tell you, you two will also sign with the Deep Space Company."
That’s great. A great director like you usually has a lot of things on your hands, so you can’t keep busy. After you have an agent, you can save a lot of worry."
After hearing what Yu Dong said, both of them were a little moved, and Yu Dong increased his efforts: "Not only can it save a lot of things, but it is also more convenient. With so many works in Shen Kong's hands, what do you want to shoot in the future?
Yes, you can take pictures at any time, after all, they belong to the same family."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Baogang thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "Haha, this kind of thing still has to wait. In the past two years, the news has been tight and loose, which has made people like us
My spirits are a little weak."
"It's okay to think about it." Yu Dong nodded.
…
At the end of the dinner, Giuseppe came to say goodbye to Yu Dong.
Regarding his farewell, Yu Dong was a little surprised, "Didn't you say you wanted to spend New Year's Eve in China and experience the Chinese culture?"
"Yeah, it's still the same now, but I will definitely not be in Aurous Hill in the next few days, so I'm afraid it will take a long time for us to see each other again."
"Where are you going?" Yu Dong asked.
"I don't know either, but Jimmy told me that he would take me to a good place, a place where I can fully feel the festive atmosphere."
Yu Dong patted his head, "Are you saying that you and Jimmy want to find a place to spend New Year's Eve?"
"It's not just me, there may be several other Americans, but I'm not sure yet."
Yu Dong smiled, this Jimmy is really good at getting things done, so he invited them to spend New Year's Eve in China together, but there are probably not many people, like Spielberg, Schumacher and others, who have been relatively busy recently.
If you are busy, you will definitely not be able to stay.
The most likely ones to stay are probably George Martin, oh, and Dan Brown and his wife. They had told Yu Dong before that they wanted to stay in China longer.
Thinking that Giuseppe was about to leave with Jimmy, Yu Dong said to Giuseppe: "If there is still time later, I want to talk to you about the movie soundtrack."
Giuseppe raised his eyebrows, "Do you also know about music scores?"
"Let's talk about this after the New Year. When we meet again, I might bring some demos for you to listen to."
Although Giuseppe was confused, he still nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
…
The day after the annual meeting, many of the guests attending the annual meeting had not yet left Jinling, and news about the deep space annual meeting had already appeared in major media.
The news headlines released by the larger media are relatively restrained, usually such as "Deep Space Annual Meeting, Stars Come to Congratulate" and the like.
Some smaller media outlets are much more exaggerated.
"Deep Space Annual Meeting, an Oscar ceremony disguised as a company annual meeting", "This company has become a leader in the cultural circle", "Deep Space Annual Meeting, a touchstone of fame in the literary and art circles", various titles
, and so on, one is more exaggerated than the other.
Forget it, there is still some fake news.
For example, Yu Dong saw a news article with the title "Celebrities were not invited by deep space and got drunk late at night", but the content of the news was that the famous singer Tenggor was photographed drinking with friends on the day of the deep space annual meeting.
The key is that it is common knowledge that Tenggor likes to drink. It is not news at all. In this way, reporters can still use it to connect him with the Deep Space Annual Meeting and compile it into a piece of news.
"There will only be more and more news like this."
Jimmy took the hot tea that Yu Dong made for him and leaned comfortably on the sofa, "And it will get more and more outrageous."
After the guests were almost served, Jimmy ran to Yu Dong. As soon as he arrived, he ordered Yu Dong to make tea for him, quite like an uncle.
Yu Dong saw that it was really hard for him to work hard for a few days, so he let him go.
After drinking tea for a while, Jimmy spoke again, "Tomorrow I will take them to the north to celebrate New Year's Eve. If you have anything else to explain, you'd better finish it in advance."
Yu Dong put down the newspaper and turned to look at him: "Nothing else. After New Year's Eve, remember to bring Dan Brown back to me. I have something to tell him."
Jimmy asked doubtfully, "You have something to say to him, and why haven't you said it in the past two days?"
"I've been too busy these two days and haven't found any free time. What I want to tell him can't be explained clearly in just a few words. Just leave this matter alone and just bring him back to me."
"Okay, I promise to complete the task, nothing else?"
"No, I hope you have fun."
"Hey, I have something else to tell you." Jimmy sat up on the sofa, "Of the domestic actors coming to this annual meeting, how many of them do you think are worth signing?"
Yu Dong thought for a while and said: "If you ask me, you can sign it, but the problem is, you may not be able to sign it. For example, I have tested this person before. He has made some money starting a company in the past two years.
I guess I will have to open an entertainment company later."
"I know this, but what about the others? Let's focus on those young actors."
Yu Dong looked at Jimmy and suddenly laughed, "You really treat me as a talent scout."
Jimmy shrugged, "Let's talk and see if we have the same views."
"Okay, let's talk."
Since they were chatting, Yu Dong didn't want to talk nonsense. He took out a pen and paper and wrote Li Yu's name on the paper first.
"Let's talk about Li Yu first. This girl is still in school. I don't know her school results, but Zhao Baogang has a pretty good evaluation of her and she looks good. If you sign her and give her some resources, you won't lose money.
."
Yu Dong didn't know much about Li Yu's future, because he only remembered Li Yu's role in Love in the Rain and Meng Meng, but he had no memory of other scenes, and he didn't know what Li Yu would become later.
The current judgment is entirely based on the current information.
Jimmy nodded and said: "We have similar opinions about her. As for her situation in school, I know a little bit about her. She has good grades in all aspects, and it is said that she is very talented in comedy. In addition, she has the foundation of singing and dancing.
My foreign language skills are also good, and I still have potential.”
"It seems you are well prepared."
"That's natural. No matter what kind of war we fight, intelligence is the most important." Jimmy smiled confidently and asked: "Where is her classmate, Li Bing? What do you think?"
Yu Dong spread his hands and said, "I don't know much about this. Just in terms of appearance and temperament, he looks pretty good."
Of course, Jimmy didn't know that Yu Dong was hiding it from him, so he nodded with a smile, "This Li Bing has more experience in the industry. He has acted in two movies. The first one was Feng Yuanyi's sister. I personally think that she may have better potential than Li Yu.
Some, as to how much stronger they can be, I can’t tell based on the information I currently have.”
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, sign it first. Sign it according to the new contract, and don't sign it for too long. Give each other some space."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Are you afraid that someone will suddenly become famous and kick our company down?"
Jimmy also laughed: "There is no need to consider this for the time being. No other company can threaten us for the time being. Moreover, the resources we give new employees are fixed. If they want more resources, they must change the contract. If they do not have the resources from us,
If you become famous and then kick us, you can only blame us for not having the ability."
"You have a good attitude. Don't regret it when you are poached in the future."
"I'm very tolerant about this. As long as our fundamentals don't waver, even if there are some hiccups in the middle, our path will not go astray in the end."
Jimmy knows very well that their foundation is the work at hand. As long as there is a work, the actors are secondary.
As long as there is IP, no matter how poorly other industries perform, they will not starve to death.
