The popularity of "Sigh of a Floating Life" continued to rise, and finally, before it was about to be released, it broke through 1.5 billion at the box office.

In response to the voice of the public, the major theaters finally reached a consensus to postpone the release of "Sigh of a Floating Life".

When they asked Yao Bianliang for his opinion, Yao Bianliang did not object, and she has given up struggling now.

One and a half billion box office—the figures are already so ridiculously high, what else can she struggle with?

As a result, "A Sigh of a Floating Life" continued to be screened in theaters, and Yao Bianliang lay down at home for a few days doubting his life, and finally had to revive.

When the time limit of one month came, Yao Bianliang heard the voice broadcast by the system as expected.

[Drip, task deadline]

[This task:

Ask the host to participate in a movie as the leading actor, and get a box office of no more than 100 million, and the success is cool. ]

[Completion status: The box office reached 1.5 billion within one month, which is 15 times the task requirement, and the task has not been completed. ]

[Bonus Status: Participation Award only]

[Mission message:

It has to be said that in this mission, the host adopted a very good strategy.

You rejected all commercial movie themes, and chose singing and dancing movies that belonged to the blank field, which were more than artistic but not interesting.

It's a pity that among the many composers who are not at a good level in China, you have selected the best ones by virtue of your unique vision.

The popularity of the song makes your movie enter the audience's field of vision, and the singing and dancing attributes that would have made the movie's box office hit the street have instead become the main factor driving the box office.

Being able to produce such a chain reaction makes people have to admire your luck and strength.

The mission failed this time, but we believe that you will not let it go.

The existence of special missions creates new opportunities for you. I hope the host will not forget the original intention, forge ahead, and make great achievements! ]

Yao Bianliang: "..."

It is true that she is not well-informed when she has selected outstanding talents.

However, who would have thought that a professional music variety show that claimed to employ hundreds of judges would be so unreliable?

She originally thought that Yuehui Entertainment under the Lu Corporation should not be too bad. Although the variety shows they held were a bit watery, they would not be too watery.

Unexpectedly, this was as unreliable as Ansheng Entertainment.

Over the past few days, under multiple pressures, "Best Music Producer" finally announced the suspension of filming.

They issued an apology statement, apologizing to Ji Linyin and other players who were hurt, and promised to reform themselves.

Of course, no matter what, this variety show was completely ruined.

The variety show stopped filming, and those contestants who originally planned to become popular overnight with the variety show also had to find another way out. This "star-making" plan of the Lu Group was completely declared bankrupt.

For this variety show that not only failed to help, but also directly collapsed in the end, Yao Bianliang's mood is very complicated.

If God gave her another chance, she would rather believe in her own vision and carefully select people than have anything to do with the program "Best Music Producer".

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

"The things made by these capitals are all pitfalls." Yao Bianliang raised his hands to cover his face.

Almost nothing to beat.

Maybe next time, she shouldn't trust these domestic opponents anymore—after so many lessons, she should take a longer-term view and open up the pattern.

No domestic opponent can beat her, so can she consider going abroad?

In fact, from the general trend, whether it is the East or the West, the quality of films is showing a backward state.

It's not just that the quality of Huaguo's film and television works is not as good as before, and the classic phenomenal works are gradually decreasing; those countries in the West are also facing the same problem.

However, comparing the two, the ecological environment of foreign entertainment circles is still better than domestic ones.

"Maybe next time, I should choose a stronger opponent for myself." Yao Bianliang rubbed his chin with his fingers, thinking seriously.

[Drip, a new task has been generated, the details are as follows:]

[The host is asked to star in a big-budget movie and act as the heroine in it. The required investment is no less than 1 billion, and the shooting + production time is no less than two years.

If the final box office is not higher than 1 billion, and the score of a certain part is lower than 6 points, and the proportion of negative reviews is relatively high, it is determined that the task has been completed. ]

[Task bonus:

Participation award: 500,000 (you can get it if you participate)

Completion bonus: 100 billion (obtainable after successfully completing the task)]

Yao Bianliang couldn't help but sit up straight after reading this request.

Originally, when she saw that "the investment capital must not be less than 1 billion", her whole heart collapsed.

Investing so much money, how can this go cold?

However, when she saw the requirements for completing the task, she still breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the system did not give her an impossible task.

For a movie with an investment of 1 billion, if the box office can reach 3 billion, the investment will be regarded as not losing money.

Of course, it's just that they haven't lost much money. It's almost impossible for a film of this level to make money.

And if the investment is 1 billion and the box office is 1 billion, then don't think about it, the investor will definitely lose money.

And if the score is lower than 6 points, the movie will undoubtedly fail and belong to the ranks of bad movies.

Yao Bianliang was thoughtful.

The task this time seems to have relatively loose requirements, but in fact there are pits buried everywhere.

If she only has a requirement for the box office of the movie, then she can choose a niche movie with a high literary quality like "Sigh of a Floating Life".

Although movies with high artistic quality may get good ratings, it is enough to guarantee box office problems.

On the contrary, if the system has requirements for movie ratings, then she can take the route of "The Legend of An Hua" and hire traffickers with bad acting skills to make money.

In this way, although there are fans supporting the box office, the ratings are definitely low.

It's just that the current situation is that the system not only has requirements for box office, but also has requirements for ratings.

That means that these two extreme paths are not feasible, and she has to choose an intermediate value, or find another way out.

"I have to think carefully." Yao Bianliang was thinking.

The next task has a very obvious natural advantage. Because of the existence of special tasks, Yao Bianliang can maintain his "semi-retired circle" state for nearly five years.

Five years, this is an opportunity that cannot be met but cannot be sought.

In previous missions, there have never been so many conditions.

As long as she thinks about it carefully and avoids all the pitfalls she has stepped on before, there is still hope that she can complete the next mission.

With this in mind, Yao Bianliang opened his little book and turned a new page.

After each mission fails, she will habitually summarize the mistakes in her plan. Up to now, the notes in this notebook are almost a lesson gathered from her blood and tears.

"Actually... I chose singing and dancing movies at the beginning, so there should be no problem with this idea."

If it weren't for the inexplicable explosion of the theme song, there is no doubt that "Floating Sigh" will be completely cold in the end, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

"Then, if the next task is still related to movies, I can continue to maintain this advantage."

Yao Bianliang wrote down this idea in his notebook.

First, continue to choose such niche themes that are in a blank field.

Second, continue to make this film have no commercial value, thereby lowering its own film scheduling rate.

In addition, she couldn't make the movie too literary and thoughtful.

This is to prevent the movie from being over-rated and failing to meet the system's requirements in the end.

"Then, the basic policy is determined now."

This is a niche film with unpopular themes, which has no commercial value, and also lacks literature and thought.

It can be said that there are a lot of disadvantages and none of the advantages.

What's more, the film had better be able to form a competitive relationship with foreign big production films.

The quality of the movie is important, but the release schedule is also very critical.

If she chooses to collide with major international movies and broadcast them at the same time, it will definitely reduce a large number of viewers.

In the previous few system missions, the opponents she picked were almost all pig opponents, not to mention putting pressure on her, sometimes they themselves collapsed directly.

Yao Bianliang made up his mind to choose a good teammate carefully this time.

"Boom, boom, boom"

There was a knock on the door, and Yao Bianliang withdrew his thoughts and closed his notebook.

"Please come in."

Assistant Chen walked into Yao Bianliang's office with a stack of documents.

"Sister Liang, I just received a cooperation invitation from an overseas producer. They want to purchase the overseas copyright of "A Sigh of a Floating Life"."

Yao Bianliang was taken aback: "Overseas?"

She is thinking about choosing an international movie as her competitor for her next film.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, overseas filmmakers came to seek cooperation.

The system was a little surprised: "That's right, host, your movie is about singing and dancing. This kind of movie doesn't have many audiences in China, but it has great prospects overseas."

The corner of Yao Bianliang's mouth twitched, a little uncertain.

"But, my movie is set in ancient China," she looked at Assistant Chen, "Are you sure they want to buy it?"

"Of course," Assistant Chen pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "They just saw that this movie has a lot of ancient elements, and they thought it was very exotic, so they wanted to buy the copyright."

He paused, and then said: "The price quoted by the other party is very good, Sister Liang, take a look..."

Yao Bianliang fell into deep thought.

The task of "Sigh of Floating Life" has already failed, and whether it becomes popular overseas or not, it won't have much impact on her.

Anyway, no matter how popular the movie "Floating Life Sigh" is, it won't be popular after five years.

That being the case, why not sell this copyright and make some money for her?

You must know that in the next movie, the investment required by the system is one billion, which is difficult to achieve with Yao Bianliang's financial resources.

Selling the copyright can also restore some blood to her financial situation.

And this is also a good cultural export opportunity for Huaguo, allowing overseas friends to learn more about Huaguo culture.

Yao Bianliang: "Okay, then I will leave it to you to negotiate the price."

Assistant Chen has long been accustomed to Yao Bianliang's behavior of throwing away the shopkeeper, and he is not surprised to hear it.

He nodded, silently wrote down the matter, and then put the document in his hand on the desktop.

"Sister Liang, this is about the studio's plan to recruit new members, can you take a look?"

Yao Bianliang has two special tasks, one is related to variety shows, and the other is to recruit members for the studio.

Since the scale of the studio needs to be expanded, new management rules and regulations must be formulated.

During this period of time, Yao Bianliang has also recruited a lot of management talents to the studio, making the composition of the entire studio more complete.

The current Hudi Entertainment Studio is no longer the small workshop it used to be.

With hundreds of employees, it has begun to take shape. After recruiting new artists and managers, the staff has to continue to expand.

"Okay, let me see."

Yao Bianliang took the document handed over by Assistant Chen and read it carefully.

This draft is fairly detailed.

In addition to stipulating different levels of signing treatment, it also stipulates basic rules and regulations, management terms, and the tasks that companies, artists, and agents need to perform.

In addition, they also planned how to find outstanding newcomers in the entertainment industry and how to train newcomers. It has to be said that the idea of ​​this draft is quite clear.

However, after Yao Bianliang finished reading, he still had a thoughtful look on his face.

Assistant Chen saw Yao Bianliang's expression, and his right eyelid began to twitch subconsciously.

His intuition told him that his boss, who did not play cards according to common sense, might have thought of a new trick.

Sure enough, in the next second, Yao Bianliang said: "Most of the rules and regulations are okay, but there are a few places that need to be revised."

As she spoke, she circled the column "Basic Work Content of an Artist" with a red pen.

The regulations in this column are not detailed, it only says that artists need to obey the arrangements of their managers and companies, and that they need to report their love affairs, etc.

Assistant Chen was a little confused: "Sister Liang, these are the most basic requirements."

What could be wrong with this?

Yao Bianliang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said earnestly: "You don't understand this. There is a big problem here."

"I don't care how other entertainment companies manage artists. But my studio absolutely cannot be managed with this kind of plan."

Just kidding, as the owner of the studio, she has to get up early and work **** acting on non-rest days. Sometimes after a scene is performed, the whole person has to be directly exhausted and paralyzed.

As a result, the artists who joined her studio can lie down and enjoy it every day, just play a little drama, sing a few songs, and earn millions a day?

Dream it!

If this draft is really followed, then there will be no restrictions on the artists and managers who join her studio.

They can accept variety shows and endorsements at will, and they can easily get a lot of money. There is no need to work hard to act and improve your strength.

This is definitely not what Yao Bianliang wants to see.

Why is she the only one who is poisoned by the system and works hard every day to complete the task of acting, while others can perform badly and earn a lot of salary at the same time?

Now that she is suffering, she cannot be the only one to suffer.

All have to be rolled up together!

After thinking for a while, Yao Bianliang said: "Assistant Chen, please inform the key staff in the studio that we will have a meeting in the afternoon."

———

Hudi entertainment conference room.

Since the expansion, the studio now occupies two floors of the office building, and the conference room is also very large, even if dozens of people sit in it, it doesn't look crowded at all.

Directly in front of it is a projection screen with the words "About the Future Regulations of Hudi Entertainment" written on it.

The employees came to the conference room on time, all confused.

"By the way, what is Sister Liang calling us for a meeting? The draft of the new regulations has been drawn up, right?"

"I don't know, could it be that Sister Liang is not satisfied with this plan?"

"Oh, that's not certain. Our studio is going to recruit new artists recently. I guess there are still many things to discuss."

Everyone discussed in low voices while finding a place to sit down.

When the hour came, Yao Bianliang stepped into the conference room on time.

"Good afternoon, everyone. It's two hours before get off work time, so I won't talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point."

Employees don't want to work overtime, and Yao Bianliang certainly has no desire to work overtime, so she plans to make a quick decision.

Sitting down on the main seat in the middle, she opened her notebook, which showed the mind map she had just written.

"With regard to the draft system proposed by everyone, I propose several revision requests."

"First, in the signing contracts of all levels, I plan to increase the share of artists by 10%."

As soon as this remark came out, all the employees present were shocked.

The proportion of artists and companies is already an established inherent rule in the industry.

For ordinary artists, it is usually a 5:5 split. If the artist can get a B-level contract or even an A-level contract, the share ratio can of course be increased accordingly.

Yao Bianliang chose to increase the ratio. Could it be that he wanted to fight a price war with other companies?

Everyone looked at each other and felt that they should understand what the boss meant.

After all, they are small studios, and they are completely incomparable with large entertainment companies.

Increasing the share ratio will of course make it easier to attract artists to sign contracts with them. This is also a common method used by many small companies.

Zhou Fei sat among the crowd, but frowned slightly.

He didn't think that Sister Liang was someone who would choose to fight a price war. Her purpose for doing so might not be as simple as everyone imagined.

Sure enough, Yao Bianliang's next sentence broke the expectations of the employees.

"The main reason for increasing the sharing ratio is that our requirements for artists will be more stringent-this kind of requirements will be completely different from all current domestic entertainment companies."

Yao Bianliang glanced around, and then said to Assistant Chen, "Assistant Chen, please send everyone the document I asked you to print."

Assistant Chen stood up and distributed the newly bound documents one by one.

Everyone's eyes could not help but fall on the document in their hands.

The white cover is in the middle, and the bold black title is very conspicuous——"Artist Code of Hudi Entertainment Studio"

Yao Bianliang said: "This is the general requirement I can think of at the moment. It's relatively general. If we want to implement it, I'm afraid we need to make specific details. This can only trouble everyone."

"In addition, if you have any new ideas, you can also add them.

The system also looked at the document. When it saw the eye-catching title, it had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After seeing the text below, the sense of familiarity became clearer.

"...Host, why are the terms you listed so familiar? I seem to have seen them somewhere."

Yao Bianliang smiled, and replied to the system in his heart: "Of course you will feel familiar, after all, this is the copy of the host rules you gave me."

system:"…"

system:"……"

Good guy, can this kind of weird operation really be done by carbon-based organisms?

The other employees who got this document were almost in the same bewildered state as the system, with strong shock pouring into their hearts, and a feeling of doubting life.

Yao Bianliang's document almost put all the unreasonable unspoken rules of the entertainment industry on the surface, and banned them all.

1. Artists and employees (brokers) of the company shall not violate relevant state regulations

Such as: 1) No tax avoidance or concealment of transaction amount in any form is allowed. Once discovered, the company will unilaterally terminate the contract and file a lawsuit against the state.

2) Do not conceal or help others to conceal illegal activities in any form, such as drunk driving, beating others without reason, disturbing public order, etc.

3)...

2. Artists and employees (brokers) of the company must not violate the basic code of ethics

For example: 1) Do not use any form of falsification, deceive netizens, use false persona, experience, etc. for marketing; once discovered, the company will impose a fine, and if the circumstances are serious, it will be required to pay liquidated damages and be expelled;

2) Do not use any form of malicious marketing hype, such as deliberately touching porcelain to rub the heat, deliberately revealing false rumors, false business hype CP, etc.;

3)...

3. Artists have to be dedicated and not passive in their work

1) In a year, actors should focus on filming or improving their acting skills for no less than 8 months, and the time spent on filming endorsement advertisements, attending commercial activities, and accepting variety shows should not exceed 2 months in total.

2) The actor must complete at least one qualified film and television work within one year (with a score of no less than 6 points). If it cannot be completed, the studio will unilaterally terminate the contract with the artist and take back all resources.

3) If the actor's ratings for three consecutive film and television works are all lower than 5 points, the studio has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract with the artist and take back all resources.

4)...

At a glance, one after another, almost none of the clauses is a common phenomenon in today's entertainment industry.

Some employees even discovered that Yao Bianliang actually planned to formulate a strict assessment system for artists!

There is one exam every year and one exam every three years.

The higher the score, the better the resources allocated to the artist; if the performance of the work is not satisfactory, then next year, the level of resources the artist can get will decrease.

If someone fails the exam three times in a row, the contract will even be terminated directly!

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, everyone understood why Yao Bianliang wanted to increase the share ratio.

Just for this clause, without increasing the share ratio, how can anyone be willing to come?

And even if it is increased by 10%, it may still be difficult to find excellent artists.

But any star who has gained some fame in the entertainment industry cannot abide by such strange rules.

And in this way, won't Yao Bianliang really become the public enemy of the entire entertainment industry?

She herself is already considered a strange existence in the entertainment industry. Since entering the industry, she has never followed any unspoken rules and is an existence that walks outside the framework.

If there is a second Yao Bianliang and a third Yao Bianliang...

What will happen at that time, they can't imagine it at all.

Yao Bianliang leaned on the back of the chair happily when he saw that everyone looked like he had seen hell.

Alone Better Together.

What's the point of being the only one who is forced to be miserable by the system rules?

Since you want to roll, then everyone roll together!

Yao Bianliang felt very happy when she thought that these newcomers who joined the company would be like her, working hard every day from dawn to dusk, unable to cut corners, let alone slack off.

Everyone needs to abide by the same rules as her, everything is so harmonious and fair.

Of course, the main reason is that when everyone starts to work hard, she is no longer the most special one.

As more and more outstanding actors appeared in the entertainment industry, there was a natural opportunity to share Yao Bianliang's fans and traffic.

This is also the original intention of the system to issue a "special mission" to her.

Just thinking like this, the voice of the system sounded in Yao Bianliang's mind.

The system obviously hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked: "Host, you have done things so blatantly, are you really not afraid of being blocked by all the capital?"

Showing the inside story and unspoken rules of the entire industry, Chi Guoguo, is simply crazy.

Even if this act can be successful, as the instigator, she will inevitably attract revenge.

Hearing the words of the system, Yao Bianliang was taken aback for a moment, and then he also reacted.

Yes, by doing so, she not only affected her own interests as a star, but also affected the interests of other stars and capital.

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up: "You're right, there is such a good thing."

system:"…"

Well, it was wrong. It almost forgot that its own host is not afraid of being blocked at all.

The hands of the wall clock on the wall were ticking, slowly turning around at a fixed speed.

As time goes by, someone has read the entire document at a glance.

Everyone's expressions were very complicated, and their brains were about to go blank.

"cough cough"

Seeing that everyone was already staring, Yao Bianliang tapped his finger on the table to signal everyone to look up.

"Have you read it all?" she said, "What do you guys think about this document?"
