I’m Really a Superstar

morning.

Zhang Ye's studio, which had been silent for more than three years, resumed operation.

On Weibo, many people are talking about this topic.

"Zhang Ye is really back!"

"I really miss the slap in the face."

"This guy won't do something again, will he?"

"But in today's era, it's not his world anymore, right?"

"Yeah, any little fresh meat is more popular than him now."

"Let's see what job he takes."

"Well, I don't know what Mr. Zhang is worth now."

"If I were Teacher Zhang, I wouldn't make a comeback. He was so popular back then, and how many people liked him like crazy, but it's different now. Too many years have passed. If Zhang Ye returns, even a second-tier freshman There is no endorsement fee for one-third of the meat, what a shame, it's better to leave a memory of everyone back then, forget about retiring, the entertainment industry is becoming more and more young, handsome, and idolized, Zhang The teacher doesn't match anything at all, he was not an idol star from the beginning, and now he is even more difficult to mix."

"I'm not too optimistic either."

"Hey, the face-slapping Zhang is really old."

You can say anything.

Most people are skeptical.

studio.

Everyone was busy.

Ha Qiqi is on the phone:

"President Yan."

"Director Ha, Teacher Zhang is really back?"

"Yes, I started to return to the entertainment industry today."

"Then let's make an appointment with Mr. Zhang as a spokesperson."

"sure."

"We have a new beverage brand to be launched, which is the new product of the beverage brand that Mr. Zhang endorsed for us a few years ago. Are you interested in cooperating?"

"Yes, we can talk about everything, how about the endorsement fee?"

"Well, how about we sign for one year, three million?"

"three million?"

"Director Ha, it's already quite a lot."

"If you are not sincere, there is no way to talk about this."

"I'm sincere, this is the market price, Director Ha, I know you may think it's low, but today is different from the past. Back then, we could accept Teacher Zhang's annual endorsement fee of 30 million, and he would never bargain. But now it’s not what it used to be. You must know more about Mr. Zhang’s situation than I do. We asked Mr. Zhang to speak for us, but we took a lot of risk. You can’t let us lose money, right? And the price we pay Mr. Zhang is still very high now Now, I believe that after a while, when the hot topic of the return of the king of heaven is over, and when the hot topic of humans defeating peter dogs is cold, the price will definitely drop again."

there.

Zhang Zuo is also contacting a merchant.

"A business show?"

"Yes, can Teacher Zhang take it?"

"How much?"

"Go ahead."

"If it's a large-scale ribbon-cutting ceremony, it's three million."

"How many?"

"Three million, isn't that high? Mr. Zhang has never taken over commercial performances, and now because the studio needs funds to reopen, that's why he made the opening."

"It's too expensive. Let's hire a small fresh meat, which looks like three or four million. This won't work. We can give up to six hundred thousand, no more. Brother Zuo, the company you were in before, we also cooperate Have you lived? You have been in the entertainment industry for many years. You know the market situation better than me? If it was four years ago, let alone three million, Teacher Zhang would have opened five million. We also picked up a big bargain. How many companies can invite Zhang Ye to do business? But now—are you kidding me? Teacher Zhang is no longer on the popularity list, so how could there be such a price?"

the other side.

Xiao Wang is also on the phone.

The whole office heard Xiao Wang throwing a fit.

"What did you say? Five hundred thousand?"

"yes."

"Director Chen, 500,000 yuan to hire Teacher Zhang to make a movie? Are you okay?"

"Xiao Wang, Mr. Zhang is not the main character in the play, he is just a cameo, with only two scenes and one line, isn't it five hundred thousand?"

"We don't accept guest appearances!"

"You want to take the lead role?"

"yes,

And also read the script. "

"Hehe, then you can ask someone else, we don't have any production crew, Xiao Wang, let me say something more, you can ask in the industry, ask around, which big-produced TV series and movies do not invite small fresh meat for the leading role? ? There is no little fresh meat, where did the box office come from? Where did the ratings come from?"

After one hour.

The people in the studio got nothing.

Zhang Ye was coaxing the child to play.

Ha Qiqi came over and said, "The current advertising endorsement is too little!"

Zhang Zuo sighed, "I can't do that either, I'm not sincere at all."

Xiao Wang said angrily: "Not to mention the crew I contacted, who is it! Director Zhang is invited to play a supporting role? No, not even a supporting role, just a cameo, and only half a million!"

Zhang Ye asked, "How many others are there?"

Ha Qiqi hesitated to speak.

Zhang Ye smiled, "Let's tell the truth."

Only then did Ha Qiqi say, "Two months ago, the advertising endorsement fee of Xiao Xianrou Guan Zhaohua - the media reported that it seemed to be 50 million a year."

Zhang Ye asked, "What about me?"

Ha Qiqi gasped and said, "They paid three million."

three million?

Fifty million?

This difference is more than a zero!

Zhang Ye smiled, "It's normal."

Xiao Wang shouted: "What is normal, this is totally abnormal!"

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Four or five years ago, do you remember that I told you that the entertainment industry in the future might be the era of young meat, so I told everyone at that time that we must reach the top within a year, Otherwise, it may be even more difficult in the future, look, the current entertainment industry is the entertainment industry I was talking about back then, nothing surprising."

Zhang Ye had seen this kind of situation before when he was on that earth, so he was not surprised, and he was already mentally prepared.

Zhang Ye took out his mobile phone, "Let me make a call."

I just changed my SIM card today and it works.

Kari's phone book is still there, and I don't know if the old friend of the year has changed his mobile phone number. If he changed his phone number, he would really be unable to contact him.

beep beep.

The phone went through.

Famous film director Li Ke: "Zhang Er?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Director Li, do you still have my phone number?"

Li Ke was surprised and said, "You didn't change your phone number either? I called you yesterday, but it kept saying that I couldn't get through."

"I got a new card today. The old card can no longer be used, but the number is still there." Then Zhang Ye said, "I heard that you are planning a new movie recently? I just came back to find a job for my old friend. ah?"

Li Ke said: "That's what I want to talk to you about. Do you think I don't miss you? When you came back, I guessed that you must not be idle. At that time, there was a male number two role that was not chosen. I I mentioned it to the management, but—" he sighed, "the management is unwilling."

Zhang Ye asked: "A question about the film salary?"

Li Ke said: "It's not the salary, they are worried that you will affect the release of the movie. After all, what happened back then was too influential. You were removed from the popularity list because of your poor performance. Although three or four years have passed, they are still afraid of being released." Question, I’m also afraid that there will be arguing in the follow-up. You don’t know. After you went in, how many projects you cooperated with were affected. Capital tends to profit, so there must be scruples, so this morning, the production side directly skipped me , selected a second-tier Xiao Xianrou to join, and didn’t ask my opinion at all.”

Zhang Ye said cheerfully, "Old Li, you have been around for so many years, and you are also one of the most famous directors in the country. Why do you keep going back?"

Li Ke said helplessly: "The environment has changed, the era is different, and I am also old. Several movies are not highly rated, and they have long lost their previous influence. Now is the era of small fresh meat. I know why the management likes them. Is it? Although the salary is high, sometimes more than half of the 200 million investment in a movie has to be used to pay the salary for Xiaoxianrou, but they are still willing to do it, because they can keep their capital, and a small Xianrou can bring a huge group of people. A large number of fans means that the movie has not been filmed, the TV series has not yet launched, and the box office and ratings have already bottomed out."

Zhang Ye said, "Is that an exaggeration?"

Li Ke told him, "This is the current trend. Some movies starring Xiao Xianrou have a particularly bad reputation, and the ratings are so low that people in the industry can't stand it. But when they finally saw the box office, everyone was dumbfounded. One hundred million, can you imagine it?"

Zhang Ye said, "Then find me a reliable investor, and I'll shoot it myself."

Li Ke asked: "You directed and acted yourself?"

Zhang Ye: "That's right."

Li Ke: "TV series or movie?"

Zhang Ye: "It's fine."

Li Ke: "I don't think there is any film, who will vote for you? Whether it's a movie or a TV series, you haven't filmed it before. Can the management trust you? Now, as long as it's a big investment, you have to have a small fresh meat." Joining, relying on acting skills? Relying on seniority? That set has long been outdated. Do you know why Ning Lan retired? It's not because she got married, but because her last two movies after marriage that year only had a box office of more than 10 million. That's Ning Lan, a big star, actress, what is the concept of a box office of more than 10 million? Can you imagine?"

hang up the phone.

Zhang Ye shrugged his shoulders.

Endorsement?

Commercial speech?

acting?

director?

All roads seemed to be closed to him.

Ha Qiqi rubbed his forehead, "Director Li can't help either?"

Zhang Ye said with a smile, "Old Li can't help himself now, and it's not easy for him either."

Chenchen, who was playing with Sisi over there, heard it, and said, "Zhang Ye, so you've really lost your temper?"

This is the entertainment industry.

The cruelest place in the world.

Hearing this, Sisi became anxious, "Dad is not angry! Dad is amazing!"

Zhang Ye smiled, picked up his daughter and kissed her, "Yes, it's because they have no vision."

Sisi hummed heavily, "Dad is the most powerful star!"

Zhang Zuo was also amused, "That's right, your father is a unique star in the whole world, there is no other one in the world."

Ha Qiqi also came over, touched Sisi's little head, and said with emotion: "It's been four years, many people seem to have forgotten the scene where your father was so powerful. Since they have forgotten, let's let them recall , no one is optimistic about your father, then let's make a way by ourselves and let them remember your father's name again!"
