New Age Artists

Chapter 16: China and foreign countries need cooperation

While Shen Santong was busy eating candy these days, the first trailer of "Crazy Supermarket" became popular on the Internet.

The trailer became popular because of Shen Santong’s fame and the many magical scenes in the trailer.

Shen Santong's books have sold millions of genuine copies, and there are countless pirated copies.

His books are the most popular ones rented out from the rental bookstore outside the school. He would tear a book into several copies and circulate them among his classmates.

By the way, some unscrupulous booksellers even added extra ingredients to his pirated books.

He has long been cultivating the persona of writing books in order to make movies, and readers became the first wave of viewers of his videos.

The reason why it was able to maintain a certain level of popularity is that the quality of the trailer was good enough.

Nowadays, the trailers of domestic films are really hard to describe.

Whether in mainland China or Hong Kong and Taiwan, most trailers only count stars, and no one studies how to make a good trailer.

Wonderful footage, very stingy.

It seems as if they are worried that after watching this movie, the audience will not go to the cinema.

The trailer for "Supermarket" is really a big hit at the moment.

Huang Bo's magical dance and the song are perfectly matched, Wang Baoqiang eats bread in one bite and farts. Many famous scenes made this trailer quickly popular on the Internet.

It also made Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang a little famous and became internet celebrities.

Even "The Way of Justice", which Shen Santong thought would not be very popular, became popular.

Portal websites such as Sina have started to set up special movie sections for "Supermarket".

"Didn't you say that the graduation drama was unimportant? Are you not going to fulfill your girlfriend duties?"

Shen Santong was addicted to eating sweets.

He held Tang Yan's ankles to prevent her from going down.

"Shen Santong, you can't do this anymore. I can understand that you have such needs at your age, but we are still young, so you have to take care of your health!"

Tang Yan quickly pulled up the quilt: "As an actor, I must study my acting skills well. The graduation drama is a great opportunity and I can't delay my studies."

"As a boss, you also want people to criticize my poor acting skills, right?"

"Do you still care about acting?"

Shen Santong was amused. Girl, your nickname from now on will be the shame of the Chinese Academy of Drama.

Shen Santong stood outside the window, looking at Tang Yan as she walked out of the hotel with trembling steps, his eyes deep.

Worldly desires cannot affect him in the slightest. Only the purest art is the eternal palace.

That is the spark of thought that turns into the most real perception.

It is a road walking between reality and illusion.

Good art comes from reality but transcends reality.

It comes from life and can summarize life.

Tang Yan fed Shen Santong a good meal before leaving, which put him in a state of creative thinking.

Shen Santong started working.

When I got back to the company, there was not much people around, only the receptionist on duty.

"Boss, some companies want the copyright of "The Way of Justice"." The receptionist told them about the contacts they had received in the past few days.

Shen Santong found out that a lot of work had been delayed in the past few days.

For ringback tone service, the company to contact is SP.

SP can be understood as a song counter and a channel for cooperation with operators.

"The Way of Justice" is an online song. Generally speaking, these SPs are just for show.

Many online singers do not care about copyright themselves, they just want the opportunity to enter the industry.

Upon some inquiries, I found out that this was not the case with "The Way of Justice". The composer Shen Santong was a writer and a graduate of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. The copyright had been registered long ago.

The purpose of making songs is not to make money, but to promote movies.

If he wanted the copyright of "The Way of Justice", it was impossible to get it for free, so he had to call his company. "Choose a more reliable one to discuss cooperation."

Shen Santong thought about it and decided that the past two years should be the best time for ringtones.

"The Way of Justice" is not a god-level song, but it's good enough to make some money.

"Hey, where's Xiao Zhao? Come here quickly. Didn't I tell you that you'll have a holiday on National Day? Don't you know how to work overtime? What? You're accompanying Huang Bo to run the show? Fine, work hard and take initiative. I'll give you a raise."

It is common for start-up companies to have to take on multiple roles. One of Shen Santong's two assistants was sent to the crew of "Green Grassland", and the other was working with Huang Bo.

The trailer became popular, and "Justice" became popular too.

Especially combined with Huang Bo's dance, he himself is a dance coach, he quickly choreographed a dance and started performing in commercial performances.

Shen Santong asked around and learned that the profit for a match was usually around 8,000 or 9,000 yuan, and the most could be 10,000 yuan.

The introducer gets a commission, the company gets half, and Huang Bo gets the copyright of Shen Santong's lyrics and music, so about two to three thousand yuan.

For Huang Bo at the moment, this income is very high.

Running one or two games a day is equivalent to his monthly salary.

Wang Baoqiang wanted this treatment but he didn't have any representative works.

"Mr. Shen, thank you, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity and a song."

In the evening, Shen Santong invited everyone to have a meal together.

Huang Bo stood up and toasted, with tears of gratitude.

He was indeed very grateful. He was really short of money. Now that his luck had turned, he couldn't do without Shen Santong.

The movie hasn't been released yet, but good things are yet to come when it's released.

Huang Bo has confidence in the movie, mainly in Shen Santong.

"Brother Bo, why should we be so polite? By the way, I'll give you a position as a personal assistant. You can arrange it yourself, whether it's a relative or a friend. It's up to you. I'll also find you an agent to be responsible for your career development."

Shen Santong drank a glass immediately, Huang Bo has great potential.

If you give "Crazy Supermarket" a boost, and then give "Crazy Stone" another boost, it will immediately grow wildly.

16 years later, during the film and television boom, Huang Bo fell behind a bit and could no longer be compared with Wu Jing and Shen Teng.

But before 16, he was far ahead among the middle-aged male actors.

Huang Bo’s salary needs to be improved, and he should find a professional agent.

Relatives who come to be professional brokers don't have the ability to do so, and it's too bad for them to do so.

Huang Bo can arrange his own personal assistant, who will be supported by the company.

It’s up to him whether to arrange it with his wife or someone else.

After Huang Bo becomes famous, I will give up part of the profits, and I can allow him to set up his own studio in the future.

Shen Santong drew a bunch of big cakes, and Huang Bo's little fire made him very happy.

It's not just about profit, there's also a sense of career satisfaction.

It feels really good to discover and create top-tier actors.

Huang Bo was also very moved by Shen Santong's respect, and everyone carried the colorful sedan chair.

Not to mention those big pie in the sky, the current interests are also guaranteed.

Not only was a position for a personal assistant provided, but food and lodging were also reimbursed, the company rented a house, and in the future, a car would be provided.

"Hire a driver, find an agent in the industry, and hire two personal assistants. Give Huang Bo a quota for personal assistants and let him arrange it himself. Don't ask me about it."

After the meal, Shen Santong had a private talk with his assistant Xiao Zhao, who also discussed promotion and salary increase.

See the subsequent performance, and if you can keep up, grow with the company.

"Brother Huayi, do you want to discuss cooperation with me?"

The next morning, just as Shen Santong was about to go to the Beijing Film Studio to check out the post-production, he received a call from Han Sanping.
