I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 14 No, how can I act in a play and also have to tutor homework?

The thing is, Zhao Jinmai is going to take the high school entrance exam next year, and at this critical moment, her mother doesn't want her to act.

This is understandable.

Although acting can make money, Zhao Jinmai is not a well-known child star, and his pay is... just so-so.

Zhao Jinmai's family is not bad, so she doesn't need her daughter to work so hard...

The problem is that Zhao Jinmai likes it himself.

She used to act in children's dramas like "Balala the Fairies", but "The Wandering Earth" is a serious movie project.

In addition, Guo Fan assured me, "I am a graduate student of the Beijing Film Academy, and I can definitely tutor Zhao Jinmai..."

Then, Guo Fan realized that he had overestimated himself!

I couldn’t even do the junior high school questions, let alone tutor Zhao Jinmai.

Shen Liang was very confused: "No, there are so many top students in the crew... It shouldn't be a problem to tutor a junior high school student, right?"

“…The key is that she doesn’t understand. We must use junior high school knowledge to answer junior high school questions…”

"...Okay, I'll go take a look..." Shen Liang nodded, then asked: "Is Duoduo Zhao Jinmai? The little girl?"

"Correct."

"How old is she?"

"Born in 02...I am 15 years old now..."

"The high school entrance exam at 15," Shen Liang pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's about right... Is there anything else the crew should pay attention to?"

"Well..." Guo Fan originally wanted to say 'don't act like a big shot', but then he remembered that Shen Liang didn't even bring an assistant with him, and he didn't look like a big shot at all. That's not right, he didn't even bring an assistant?

I quickly asked, "Do you have an assistant?"

"Yes... What's the matter? Do you have something to talk to him about?"

"That's not necessary. I saw that you seemed to come here alone..."

Shen Liang nodded and explained sincerely: "Yes, when I heard it was a China Film Group project, I thought it was a bad movie... So, I didn't tell the company and planned to just go through the motions and go back..."

“…I didn’t expect it to be The Wandering Earth?”

"Yes!" Shen Liang remembered something: "I think you might regret looking for me!"

"How to say?"

Shen Liang counted on his fingers and said, "My schedule for the next two weeks is all arranged. The day after tomorrow I will go to BJ to shoot a magazine... The day after tomorrow I will go to Changsha to record "Mars Intelligence Agency", and then I will cooperate with several brands to shoot some promotional advertisements... and also have a commercial performance for "Tomorrow's Son"..."

Guo Fan was stunned for a moment: "Are you top stars so busy?"

"I'm not a top star. I'm just a little famous at best... The company wants to take advantage of the popularity of "The Next Generation of Idols" and quickly harvest a batch of people..."

“…Are you so busy?”

"Yes... Wait until I'm done with this period of work. I'll join the team in two weeks..."

When Guo Fan heard this, he quickly asked, "Will you be able to stay in the crew then?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "I won't be so busy then, I can only go out two or three days a week at most!"

"…going out two or three days a week?"

"Well... I have a regular variety show "Mars Intelligence Agency" and an EP to record... But don't worry, the EP will be recorded in Qingdao, and the MV will also be shot here..."

"Okay... let's go and get some math tutoring first!"

“How difficult can junior high school math be?”

Shen Liang is full of confidence...

……

Wajijiwa’s revenue is actually exactly the same as Tianyu’s, which comes from three aspects: agency income from a very few top artists, copyright income, and income from signing tour compilations and photo albums of newly-launched talent shows each year.

During the Tianyu period, the brokerage income of top artists accounted for more than half of the total revenue!
Therefore, when the top female star of Tianyu, Li Yuchun, and the top male star, Zhang Jie, left, Tianyu was directly criticized...

Fortunately, Hua Chenyu appeared later...

That’s right, Hua Chenyu supported Tianyu!
His agency share alone accounts for more than 47% of Tianyu's total revenue. It can be said that he single-handedly supports Tianyu...

However, relying solely on top artists to support the company is extremely risky... Besides, the only full-time artists that Wajijiwa can currently offer are Mao Buyi and Shen Liang, and their commercial value is certainly not comparable to that of Li Yuchun and Zhang Jie for the time being.

Copyright income requires time and the accumulation of a large number of works...

So, how to make money?

The artists selected through talent shows are being fleeced!

It's just a tour and a book signing...

According to previous plans, Shen Liang will also attend a few shows. After all, he is the only mature artist of Wajijiwa at present!
And Shen Liang already has a group of very loyal fans.

Therefore, the necessary resources have definitely been allocated.

EP recording, commercial activities, and magazine shoots are also scheduled...

Harper’s Bazaar October issue, inside page…

In terms of the importance of fashion magazines, September ranks first...

September and October are the golden months!
Of course, if it’s an anniversary special, it will be moved back one place.

Generally speaking, the models or actors photographed during these important months are all deeply loved by the editors-in-chief of various magazines. For example, the September cover photo of "Marie Claire" is always Gong Li!

In addition, Shu Qi and Zhou Xun are the favorites of "Fashion COSM" and "ELLE"!
Relatively speaking, October is not bad...

Generally speaking, those who can appear on the cover of October are of great importance!
The September cover of Harper’s Bazaar features Zhang Ziyi…

The October cover should, logically speaking, feature a celebrity of similar status!
Indeed, Zhang Yixing and Dilireba were chosen for the cover...

Shen Liang didn’t take the photo of the cover, but the inside pages…

It's normal, Shen Liang is just a newcomer with a 'little fame'...

The reason he was able to shoot for Harper’s Bazaar was not only because of Wajijiwa’s recommendation, but also because of the recommendation of luxury brands…

Generally speaking, after selecting a cover character, a magazine will ask various luxury brands who is willing to sponsor him or her.

At this time, the luxury brand will consider whether the other party will bring profits to their investment.

If the local sales of a company's products increase after the publication of the journal, then the sponsorship of each subsequent issue will be clear, and there may even be a scene where multiple luxury brands work together to pay for it.

Of course, if the sales of the first cooperation failed to increase, no luxury brand would be willing to pay for it in the future...

Therefore, many actors or models gradually fade out after appearing on the cover once.

Very realistic!

This time it was GUCCI who paid for it…

The photographer is You Yi, the exclusive photographer for Harper's Bazaar.

Shen Liang is very good at posing. When a man takes a photo, he just raises his chin and looks deep into the distance...

Or bare your upper body and show your body.

The photo shoot went smoothly, and the subsequent interview went even smoother...

Shen Liang is very casual. He will answer whatever you ask... For example, if you ask him why he participated in "The Coming One".

"It was arranged by the company... I happened to have nothing to do at that time, so I went..."

"I heard that you didn't cooperate with the company's activities before?"

"I have to go to school...I can't cooperate."

"Many people say that you have become an internet celebrity... What do you think of this phenomenon?"

“I like my internet celebrity status… I created it all by myself…

The biggest difference between internet celebrities and stars is that stars have top teams to serve them, while internet celebrities don’t have such good resources. However, the income and exposure of internet celebrities are far higher than those of stars whose appearances are complicated and their income is slow…”

"Would you mind disclosing your income?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "I mind it very much. I can only say that I bought a large flat in BJ..."

“Large flat…”
