Chapter 335： actor's way

  Chapter 335 Actor's Road

Qi Lin's popularity suddenly rose again, attracting the jealousy of countless peers in the circle.

Qi Lin is really too popular now, even among the second-line actors, there are few who can suppress him.

Even some first-line actors are inferior to Qi Lin!

At this time, someone may ask, if the first-line actors are not as good as Qi Lin, then why is Qi Lin not the first-line actor?

The reason is very simple, there are three reasons.

The first reason is that the debut time is short and the fan base is fixed!

After all, it’s only been a few years since Qi Lin made his debut, and his fans are all from the younger generation. Although he is now developing towards middle-aged people, the progress is slow.

The second reason is that there are few prizes!

Actually, Qi Lin has been shortlisted for many awards, but they are all small awards, such as the college student film festival, the gold awards, almost don't have much gold content, so Qi Lin didn't take them much.

Right now, the only big awards I have are the Best Newcomer of the Golden Jun Award and the Best Supporting Actor of the Golden You Award.

Awards are good, but still too few.

The third reason is commercial value!

Qi Lin has not had two endorsements since his debut, and all of them are clothing endorsements.

This is in conflict with his fan base. After all, there are a few young people who wear suits. Even if they are formal clothes, they are generally uniformed by the company.

So in terms of commercial appeal, Qi Lin is slightly worse.

It can't be blamed on him. Ever since Qi Lin became popular, many endorsers came to him with merchandise and money, but Wang Xiaohua rejected them all.

Because all of this is in Wang Xiaohua's plan.

Actually, if she simply wanted to be on the front line, with Wang Xiaohua's strength, Qi Lin would have been able to get there long ago!

The method of operation is also very simple, save two movies a year, and the time saved is used for variety shows, evening parties, receiving endorsements, and earning awards.

These operations are not too familiar to Wang Xiaohua, she has made many people popular in this way before.

But Qi Lin is different!

For a talented seedling like Qi Lin, Wang Xiaohua's expectations for him are more than a sliver.

From the very beginning, Wang Xiaohua has been rushing to cultivate Qi Lin into an international superstar!

Especially the aggressiveness of the endorsement was decided from the very beginning.

If it wasn't for Qi Lin's desire for money back then, Wang Xiaohua wouldn't even accept him as an endorsement, because in her eyes, those endorsements were still not compelling enough.

And Wang Xiaohua's booth is huge!

Most of the money Qi Lin earns is saved, and she takes care of the rest.

She used the money to set up a worldwide stage for Qi Lin!

Now Lijian State has Morgan in charge, and in Wa Country, Bangzi Country and other Asian countries, there are all responsible persons who specialize in managing Qi Lin's fans.

It can be said that from the beginning, Wang Xiaohua did not intend to make Qi Lin an ordinary star, but wanted him to become a world-class star just like Van Loon!

But the times are different, and now it is not easy to reach the level of Van Loon.

Wang Xiaohua can only lay a solid foundation for Qi Lin first, and wait for the opportunity!

Anyway, Qi Lin is still young now, and male artists have a long career in acting, so they can afford to wait.

Wait for the east wind to come, and enter Yujing overnight.

"Hey, they are all young actors. How do you think they got along? Back then, our buddies had worked together."

In a restaurant, Dou Yandong and Shi Fang are eating.

If Qi Lin saw this, he would definitely recognize it. The two of them had been on variety shows with him back then.

At that time, the three of them performed "Infernal Affairs" together. Dou Yandong played Liu Jianming, Shi Fang played Chen Yongren, and Qi Lin played the big B.

It was also because of participating in that variety show that Qi Lin was favored by Liu Tianwang, and finally he was given the role of a small policeman in "Bomb Disposal Expert".

Dou Yandong and Shi Fang are both acting school, and both are older than Qi Lin. They are both in their thirties now, and their acting styles have changed.

I think back then they all acted as young people, such as college students, apprentices and so on.

Now that I am getting older, I have to play roles like doctors and lawyers.

These two have developed fairly well in TV dramas, but on the big screen, they have never had any outstanding roles.

After working together for a few years, they can barely be regarded as a second-tier team. Now that there are a large number of newcomers in the company, the company has less and less resources on them. After all, they have to be given opportunities. Who will let them not be considered more brilliant in the newcomer period? ?

If the two of them are as popular as Qi Lin, the company will definitely support them now!

Unfortunately, people are different.

Dou Yandong picked up a glass of beer and drank more than half of it, Shi Fang waved his hand and said: "Don't drink so hard, you should be drunk in a while!"

Dou Yandong put down his wine glass and hiccupped.

"My contract with the company is about to expire."

Shi Fang fell silent, he understood what Dou Yandong meant, because his contract was about to expire.

Ordinary actors like them usually have three choices at this time.

The first choice is not to renew the contract, but to set up his own studio, just like Qi Lin.

It's just that this road is too difficult to walk, if there are noble people to support it, it's okay, the two of them, no noble people!

Because as long as there is a noble person to support it, it will be popular now!

The second option is to renew the contract!

Actually, it seems that actors of their age are in their golden age! It is also the best time to negotiate a contract.

After all, few of the contracts signed by artists at the beginning are good contracts. Unless there are some particularly popular works, then it is possible to get a good contract.

And waiting for the eight-year or ten-year contract they signed to expire, they have already learned what they should learn, and their acting direction and acting skills are almost the same. At this time, they can usually get a pretty good contract.

If you have a very good work, you can even get a high share contract!

In contrast, you have always been a little transparent, and if you can’t even bring profits to the company, the company won’t sign a contract with you.

Or simply give you a minimum contract and let you train new people behind the scenes, this is all possible.

And the last choice is job hopping!

Trees move to death, people move to live!

This principle is especially applicable in the circle, and as long as there is a company that wants it, job hopping is generally equivalent to a promotion and salary increase!

After all, there are no good conditions, who wants to change jobs?

And this is equivalent to a fork in the road of life, which almost determines the future of the artist for the rest of his life!

The two clinked glasses with each other, and after drinking two glasses of wine in silence, Shi Fang asked.

"Did the agent tell you about the conditions offered by the company?"

Dou Yandong nodded and said in a hoarse voice.

"June 4th contract, one TV series a year."

Shi Fang frowned when he heard that, the share is actually not bad, the June 4th share, of course, the company gets 60%, and the artists get 40%.

But this year, one TV series makes them very upset!

Now the TV drama market is obviously declining, and the other party only gives one TV series a year!

Then in two years, do you want to make way for new actors and let them play tricks?
