Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 46 46. Wei Guo Pictures doesn’t want to be an artist manager. Wait until I open a company.

Chen Kuai then said with some embarrassment: That's right, I heard that our movie was invested by Director Wei's own company, Wei Guo Pictures.

Actually, I am very grateful to the director for his kindness to me, but it seems that I have nothing to repay at the moment. Since Wei Guo Pictures has not signed an artist yet, why not sign me!

It turned out that Chen Kuai was not particularly reassured. Although Liu Tianxian gave him a reassurance, the stone in his heart had not yet completely fallen into place.

To be on the safe side, he simply sold himself to Wei Wu. In this way, as his own artist, Wei Wu naturally has a higher tolerance for him, and the probability of being replaced is of course greatly reduced.

Of course, Chen Kuai is not stupid. The main reason why he came up with this idea was to see Wei Wu's ability with his own eyes.

Wei Wu can both write scripts and direct movies. Although Wei Guo Pictures is still in the start-up stage, as long as there is such a person at the helm, the company will be able to get started sooner or later.

Then again, someone with talent and ability may not be able to start a company, but what if his family is extremely rich!

Wei Wu's family is definitely not rich. This is a secret that almost everyone in the crew knows.

Because everyone has seen with their own eyes that not only the great beauty Yang Mi, but also Liu Tianxian, who has become famous, is always trying to please Wei Wu.

Everyone couldn't help but start to think, even Liu Tianxian was so humbled, Wei Wu must have a strong background, and no one dared to neglect him since then.

This family is probably either rich or powerful. But seeing that he appears in public and behaves in a high-profile manner, it is most likely the former.

Yes, if you invest millions in a movie and become a director at such a young age, you must have a lot of bad money in your family!

Besides, Wei Wu is not very handsome. If his family hadn't been rich and powerful, would Liu Tianxian and Yang Mi have the need to support him in such a lowly manner?

And now Wei Wu's company, Wei Guo Pictures, has just started, and there are currently no people. Now that Chen Kuai is in, he will be like the founding father of the country. Will there be few benefits in the future?

So at this time, Chen Kuai signed with Wei Guo Pictures, which is definitely killing two birds with one stone.

You want to sign with Wei Guo Pictures? Liu Tianxian pondered for a moment and said:

I can't make the decision on this. The most I can do is ask him for you.

Chen Kuai said happily: Thank you, Sister Fei, if you are willing to help me ask, I am already very grateful.

Okay, I'll ask you when I have time!

Okay, thank you very much. Then you can take a lunch break. I will go back first.

After speaking to Liu Tianxian, Chen Kuai left.

After finishing work that day, Liu Tianxian found Wei Wu and told him about the matter:

Chen Kuai came to see me today and wanted me to help connect you to Wei Guo Pictures, what do you think?

Wei Wu was drawing the shots and said directly without raising his head:

I won't sign it. By the way, please ask him to relax and perform well. Don't think about so many things. I don't plan to change him yet.

Liu Tianxian was a little surprised: Why? Now it's free to sign him, and aren't you very optimistic about him?

Don't forget that he is not famous now. When our movie is released, the situation will naturally be different. Moreover, his appearance is also very good, and he has been admitted to the Chinese drama. To be honest, the probability of becoming famous is not small!

Why, do you dislike his poor acting skills?

Wei Wu still didn't stop, but still explained to her:

That's not true. It has nothing to do with it. It's just that we at Wei Guo Pictures don't plan to be an artist manager.

If Chen Wei really wants to sign a management contract with me, then I will register a new artist management company in a few days. Well, let's call it Shuguo Culture Media Co., Ltd.

Liu Tianxian didn't quite understand: Why go to all this trouble? Why don't you just sign with Wei Guo Pictures?

Wei Wu smiled and asked, Don't you know that there are naturally irreconcilable conflicts between film and television production and artist management?

Liu Tianxian opened his eyes wide and asked curiously:

Really? How to say it?

So Wei Wu explained to her in detail: Film and television production and artist management naturally have an unsolvable prisoner's dilemma:

Film and television productions always try to keep actors' salaries down, while agencies always want to maximize the interests of artists. There is a fundamental conflict between the two in terms of interest orientation.

And long-term conflicts can easily turn into internal strife, and the two pillar departments are at odds with each other. Then the company is not far away from decline or even demise.

Speaking of which, Wei Wu added another point: Another problem is that artist managers will interfere with film and television production.

“For example, if our company makes a movie or TV series, do we need our own artists?

No need, not only our own artists will have emotions, but the artist management department will also find people to lobby or exert pressure.

If it's another company, you can just refuse if you refuse, but if your colleagues in a company treat you with both soft and hard tactics, what should you do?

But let's face it, some actors are really far from their roles, which will naturally lower the quality of the final film.

And if something happens to an artist, it will affect the reputation of the entire company. It's okay for unlisted companies, but the stock prices of listed companies have plummeted every now and then.

Liu Tianxian smiled and joked: Are you thinking about the listing of Wei Guo Pictures in the future? You are really thinking far ahead!

Wei Wu smiled lightly and said: Of course, only with a long-term vision can we seize opportunities and achieve real achievements.

Although it was a pretense comparison, after Wei Wu said it, he always felt a little more confident and convincing than others.

Liu Tianxian's eyes sparkled, feeling that Wei Wu was inexplicably handsome at this moment.

Wei Wu suddenly looked into Liu Tianxian's eyes and said seriously:

Actually, I don't really care whether Chen Kuai signs with my company, but you are different.

Liu Tianxian's pretty face heated up and she couldn't help blurting out:

You mean, you want to sign me?

Wei Wu nodded and said, Well, if you are willing, I would like to sign you.

To be precise, Wei Wu was planning to sign in all the hosts of the subsystems, and Liu Tianxian was just the first one.

The reason why Liu Tianxian was the first one was because she signed up for her own small workshop. If she wanted to quit, she only needed to tell her godfather Chen Jinfei.

In fact, at this time in her previous life, she had already terminated her contract with Hongxingwu and signed with Sony Records (June 6, 2005). Then three years later, when the contract expired, she signed with William Morris Agency.

Relatively speaking, Yang Mi is in more trouble. She signed with Rongxinda in 2002, and the contract lasted for 8 years until it expired in early 2010.

If he wanted to leave at this time, he would have to file a lawsuit to pay liquidated damages, which would definitely offend Rong Xin completely.

But the key is that Wei Wu and Wei Guo Pictures are still in the development stage of Bielang, and they can't afford to offend Rong Xin for the time being.

And now the company doesn't have many resources at hand. It has no connections or financial channels. Signing her in would delay her development, so there is no rush to sign Yang Mi in.

Besides, Yang Mi is not popular now. She will have to wait until Palace hits the airwaves in 2011 to become famous. At this time, even if you sign in, you won't make much money, and you will offend Rong Xinda in vain. It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

Anyway, even if these people don't sign in, Wei Wu still has to make suggestions and act as a nanny for them, so it would be easier to just sign in. In this way, Wei Wu's interference in their careers and lives is more justified.
