Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Before Chen Minhao opened his mouth, Chen Qiang, who was standing beside him, said in surprise: "If "Detective" had a box office of 1 billion, wouldn't Brother Chen get 27 million? The producer is too generous."

Kang Hui sneered and said, "Dafang? Just remember, capitalists are maggots with black hearts."

Kang Hui changed into a comfortable position and sat on the sofa, looked at Chen Minhao and asked, "If the producer doesn't give you extra money to spend so much time and energy, would you like to travel to more than 30 cities? "

Chen Minhao shook his head and said, "Three or five cities are fine, but 30 cities are impossible."

"If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. People who understand this truth, this is not generosity, it is called IQ online." Kang Hui lit a cigarette, leaned forward slightly, and said, "If the box office It really reached 1 billion, and the extra box office dividend was given to Chen Minhao 27 million, which only shows that Chen Minhao's contribution to the 1 billion far exceeded 27 million."

Kang spat out a smoke ring, and further explained: "The road show is not only to attract the audience to participate in the live event, but also to let the audience know that there is a movie to be released. You have to know that there are too many ways and means to promote the movie, and the road show is an investment. One of the lowest rates of return.”

Kang Hui patiently explained: "A few years ago, the roadshow may have been to increase the influence of the media and increase publicity, but now the roadshow has only one purpose: to get more film schedules in theaters and increase the rate of film schedules.

There is a catchphrase in the industry called: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wucheng and Hangzhou are the ticket warehouse cities for these movies, and they are the most important cities for publicity. But just like Pinxixi, Kuaishou and other Internet products that are sinking commercially, movies are also sinking commercially. At present, the theaters and screens in the first-tier cities are saturated, and the second-, third-, and fourth-tier cities are the battlegrounds for theater lines. "

"Where do the theaters compete? Rely on the stars. So passers-by seem to be star roadshows, but they are actually promoting the theaters. After the stars do the promotion for the theaters, the theaters will arrange more movies."

Chen Qiang frowned, grabbed his hair, and said, "Sister Kang, what you said is too complicated."

Kang Hui chuckled and said, "It's actually not complicated. Just remember one sentence: the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit."

Chen Minhao smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I'm also an ordinary person, so I can participate in these roadshows."

As Chen Qiang said, if the box office of "Detective" can really reach 1 billion, in addition to the agreed salary of 14 million, he will get an additional 27 million yuan. This is not a small amount. Necessity and money make life difficult.

And if the box office of the first movie I starred in can reach 1 billion yuan, my future film and television career will be much easier, and I will be one step closer to my goal: a global superstar.

But the question is can the box office reach 1 billion? After all, there are not many domestically produced movies breaking 1 billion.

When Kang Hui saw Chen Minhao nodding, she smiled slightly and said, "However, you still have Beijing Film Theater rehearsals every night from Monday to Friday, so we have to find a proper solution to this problem.

If a passer-by breaks the news, or a media press release spreads: You completely ignore the school rehearsal for the film road show, it will have a bad impact on your reputation, and many of our past efforts may be ruined. Moreover, such a press release will also have a negative effect on the box office of "Detective". "

Chen Minhao looked down at the schedule in his hand, and pondered: "Let me figure out a way to solve this problem. The first rehearsal time was set on the weekend, but the members of the drama club adjusted the rehearsal time to Monday to week for my time. five nights.

I tried to see if the rehearsal of the play could be concentrated in the past few days. After all, Mr. Wu Hongrong was following me about the album, so there were very few things that I needed to worry about. If I rehearse intensively before the roadshow, the total rehearsal time should be enough in the end. "

Kang Hui sat up straight and said, "What are you going to do?"

Chen Minhao smiled and said: "According to the time adjustment last time, I can see it: as long as there is no problem with other students' time and no objection, the rehearsal time can be adjusted. As you said just now: all the prosperity of the world is for profit. All the hustle and bustle is for profit. The students of the drama club are also human beings, they don’t have to, and they won’t have trouble with the word ‘profit’.”

Kang Hui frowned and asked, "Are you planning to give the money directly?"

"Giving money? It's too vulgar." Chen Minhao said with a smile: "I'll give them what they want. Most of the students in Beijing Film Academy just want to increase their exposure and get ahead. People live, Buddhas fight for incense, Most of them entered Beijing Film Academy for the sake of popularity, and I plan to bring them to another hot search."

Kang Hui nodded lightly and said: "Be careful when you communicate, and be careful not to leave any excuses for others, and don't let people think that you are trading this."

Chen Minhao nodded frequently, expressing his approval, and said: "Don't worry, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. You don't need to speak thoroughly to understand what I mean. After he understands, he will naturally tell others."

The performance of Zhou Bingqing, the deputy director of the drama club, not only did not disappoint Chen Minhao, he even exceeded Chen Minhao's expectations.

Zhou Bingqing took the lead again. On the grounds that the final exam was approaching and several juniors and seniors in the club were going to film their works in other places, I proposed to the head of the department, Zhang Guoping, to modify the rehearsal time for the drama club:

The evening rehearsals will be suspended for a month, and everyone will devote more time and energy to rehearsals during the summer vacation.

The corner of Zhang Guoping's mouth twitched, but he finally nodded in agreement.

time flies.

On June 2nd, two days before the road show started, "Detective" producer Tian Lin and director Hu Defa invited Chen Minhao to meet at a teahouse.

As soon as Chen Minhao entered the private room, Tian Linbian looked over and said with a smile: "How about it, you are satisfied with the conditions I opened."

Although Tian Lin's words were vague, Chen Minhao was clear in his heart. What Tian Lin said was about the box office sharing conditions: as long as the box office exceeds 100 million, Chen Minhao will be given 3% of the excess.

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "Very satisfied."

Tian Lin saw that Chen Minhao was on the road, poured him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "Wang Ruozhou, he is currently filming another movie "Return Date", and he will not be able to participate in the road show until a week later than you. This week You have to rely on yourself to take the lead, do you have the confidence?"

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Minhao looked up into Tian Lin's eyes, and said directly, "When have I ever let you down?"

Director Hu Defa, who was drinking tea at the side, almost spit out the tea in his mouth, thinking: Chen Minhao's painting style is not right, isn't he very low-key and humble? How did you become so arrogant today?

In fact, Chen Minhao's "arrogance" is the result of Kang Hui's repeated exhortations. Before entering the teahouse, Kang Hui gave a special warning to Chen Minhao: If the capital side asks you if you have confidence, you must show full confidence. Because sometimes you are humble and want to keep a low profile, and they will think that you are really not good enough.

But after Kang Hui heard Chen Minhao's words, she picked up the teacup and tried to cover up her embarrassing expression, feeling somewhat regretful in her heart: Do I need to teach Chen Minhao's self-confidence? His self-confidence has long been able to open the door.

Tian Lin raised his eyebrows with great interest and said, "Okay, just have confidence."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they entered the group. Tian Lin took out a detailed schedule and said, "I'll leave it to you to choose the leading role in the first week of the road show."

After seeing the detailed schedule, Chen Minhao deeply understood what Kang Hui said: capitalists are maggots with black hearts.

During the road show, Chen Minhao went to new cities every day, went to the banquet halls of hotels in these cities in the afternoon to hold new film conferences for the media, and went to some big cinemas in the evening to meet the audience.

In addition, in the first week of Chen Minhao's road show, there were three mornings in colleges and universities for sharing. In other words, Chen Minhao's schedule on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday was to share in colleges and universities in the morning, release new films at the hotel in the afternoon, go to the theater in the evening, and take transportation in the middle of the night. Tools go to other cities.

Before Chen Minhao could speak, Kang Hui frowned and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​are these arrangements too much? I'm worried that Chen Minhao's health won't be able to bear it."

Tian Lin glanced at Chen Minhao's face from the corner of his eyes, rubbed his hands together, and said cautiously: "It's indeed a bit hard, but the hard work is also for himself."

Kang Hui squinted at Tian Lin, and said calmly, "The artist Wan Anqi I bring has also participated in many road shows, but I have never heard of it. It is necessary for a star to go to college in the morning, to the press conference in the afternoon, and to You have to drive to the theater in the middle of the night. Is it necessary to go to so many colleges?"

Tian Lin smiled awkwardly, lowered his posture and said: "You are older than me, so I will call you sister. We have studied the composition of Chen Minhao's fans, and the proportion of college students is very high. We don't want to lose this resource.

More importantly, our company has done some statistics. In the past, it was generally believed in the industry that people who have just graduated and worked for a few years are the main force of movie consumption. However, recently the box office contribution rate of college students has been increasing, and college students are willing to express and like to spread. We I want to focus on the college student market. "

Director Hood added with a smile: "And one of the target audiences of our movie "Detective" is college students."

Kang Hui said: "Then you can reduce the arrangements for Chen Minhao to go to the cinema at night."

Tian Lin smiled awkwardly, and said: "A lot of publicity for the road show has already started, and many theaters have already started to publicize. If Chen Minhao is not present, his fans will trouble us, and it's not very good for Chen Minhao to release pigeons." .”

Kang Hui leaned forward, looked at Tian Lin and said word by word: "Some of Chen Minhao's fans calculate Chen Minhao's schedule more clearly than I do. You have such a tight schedule and don't give him any rest time. His fans will definitely Distressed, do you think they won't bother you?"

Tian Lin and Hu Defa looked at each other, and they suddenly realized that this was indeed a problem. Star fans are a double-edged sword, and if they are not used well, they will really bite back.

Kang Hui looked at the two of them with a smile: "I can handle Chen Minhao's fan issues, and I guarantee that they won't trouble you during such a high-intensity road show, but you have to promise me one condition."

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, thinking: I really thought for a moment just now that Kang Hui was worried about whether my body could take it.
