This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 225 Hao Yun Studio (asking for monthly ticket)
On the day Hao Yun came back, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 26th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards (closing ceremony of the 12th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival) for his role as Liang Liang in "Kara is a Dog", but unfortunately lost to Wang Zhiwen.

Well, it wasn’t a close defeat.

The defeat was a foregone conclusion. If he really had defeated Wang Zhiwen to win the Best Supporting Actor award, there would have been something fishy going on.

At least Hao Yun doesn't have the courage to do that.

Because that would mean someone must have done something to him, and that someone had spent a lot of money to buy him the award.

The organizer didn't have the courage to accept such an order.

Go back to school and have a meeting first.

Guo Degao, the production director invited by Hao Yun, also came to participate.

"November 11th at 20:, the Rat Element is in the north, the God of Joy is in the southwest, the God of Wealth is in the west, and the God of Fortune is in the east. This best suits your requirements and can be used as the time to start the machine and worship the gods."

Guo Degao came up with a set of mysterious things, which scared the guys.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gao." Hao Yun had no objection.

Things like praying to gods should be done as they should be done. This is his first time directing, so there is no harm in following the rules.

"It's not hard, it's just that the actors haven't been finalized yet, which is very troublesome." Guo Degao looked at Zhang Songwen - he was the casting director of this play.

"It's not easy to find. This role still requires some acting skills, but the money we offer is really too little." Zhang Songwen was not embarrassed. It was not that he was incompetent, he just had higher requirements.

The character of Liqin married a husband who had a little money.

Her husband abused her, so she cheated on him, hoping someone would kill him.

But when the bootlicker Da Zhuang "really" killed her husband, she couldn't accept living with a murderer.

This woman cannot be ugly. If she is ugly, she cannot cheat, and she will also be a dog that licks her husband’s boots.

"Song Wen, do you want to find a pretty girl to act with you?" Huang Bo joked.

Zhang Songwen is her cheating partner, Huang Bo is her bootlicker, and these two brothers fell in love with the same woman.

"Thirty years old..." Hao Yun recalled.

I have worked with a few of them before and they seem quite suitable, but I guess their prices are not cheap.

For example, the drama actors in the Central Academy of Drama are not as expensive as the popular stars, but they can’t be paid just a few thousand yuan either. At least they cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

"It's better to go directly to the village to look for one. There are plenty of women like this in the village." Wang Shunliu is very experienced.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Now that I'm back, I'm sure I can find it. If it doesn't work, I can get some more investment. There's no need to be so stingy." Hao Yun looked at the budget sheet given by Guo Degao and didn't find anything fishy.

The highest paid actor was the village chief with 120,000 yuan, followed by Hao Yun with 100,000 yuan, and the others were basically paid a few thousand or tens of thousands.

For example, Zhang Songwen, who played Wang Baoshan, was paid 20,000 yuan. This price was definitely not high, but Hao Yun crossed out the number with a pen and changed it to 30,000 yuan. He also added some money to the salaries of other actors.

His original amount was 100,000, but he changed it to 150,000 with confidence.

The purpose of making this movie is to help us make some money.

Everything including equipment and props costs money, so Guo Degao hired a more professional photography team.

For this kind of script, you can actually hire a senior from the photography department and he can shoot the film with a DSLR.

"Our shooting plan is from November 11th to January 20th, a full two months. If there is no problem with Teacher Jiang Wen, there will definitely be no problem with the time." Guo Degao looked at everyone and he also made a shooting plan.

As the production director, he did a lot of things beyond his job responsibilities.

There's nothing we can do, these are just a bunch of rookies.

The preparatory meeting for "Maze of the Heart" came to a successful conclusion after discussing casting, shooting plans, budget for each aspect, and staffing of the production team.

We should have invited Jiang Wen as the producer, but there was nothing we could do since he was filming a movie.

Guo Degao had other things to do, and he was an outsider, so he left tactfully after the meeting.

There are many things that require responsibilities when participating in the production of this drama, but the remuneration he receives is also considerable.

Hao Yun talked about the important and interesting things that happened during his trip to Hong Kong.

The scene of him being surrounded by hot girls and running away in embarrassment was definitely selectively ignored.

He focused on "The World's Number One". He had already described the appearance of the brothers to Wang Jing, and he would definitely be able to arrange some roles for them.

After chatting for a while, Huang Bo smiled and asked, "Now that you have established a studio, why don't you sign us in? This way, we can save some taxes."

The studio can indeed save a lot of taxes, and it is a legal way to save. Hao Yun currently pays salaries to Wu Laoliu and Shi Xiaoqiang, as well as some daily expenses, a lot of which are saved in this way.

After Shi Xiaoqiang came and the studio was established, everything was becoming more formal.

The scene suddenly became quiet, except for Zhou Yiwei, the others all looked at Hao Yun eagerly. In the past, when they were all small-time celebrities, they were brothers and had no problem sharing weal and woe, but now that Hao Yun's career is getting better and better, the distance between them and him is getting bigger and bigger, and it is unrealistic to share weal and woe.

This cannot be blamed on Hao Yun for being cold-hearted and disloyal.

We can only blame ourselves for not being able to keep up with others. It's your own fault that you are not making others stop and wait for you.

"This...you should ask Sixth Brother." Hao Yun didn't care much.

Anyway, these people were just brought along by Wu Laoliu. Whether they signed with a studio or not, as long as he had the chance to help them get a role, they would not pull it down.

As for sticking together for warmth, these guys can't warm him up for the time being.

What's more, it's so nice to hug a girl. She's soft, warm, and fragrant.

"In fact, quite a few people have been following you. I won't mention Yi Wei. He has recently been exposed to resources from Haiyan. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he must sign with Haiyan Studio."

Wu Laoliu knew that he had to make things clear today.

When he first started working with Hao Yun, he said that he hoped Hao Yun would invest in him to set up a brokerage company after he became successful.

Thinking about it now, I was a little naive at that time.

It is not easy to set up an agency. For example, it can be set up now, but how to support the signed artists after it is set up?

Does he have to rely on begging for resources everywhere?
The prerequisite for establishing a brokerage company is not whether you have money, but whether you can continue to provide top-level resources.

An obvious boundary is being able to help the artists under the company get roles.

Hao Yun did win two first place awards, but he got them both based on his popularity and connections, and had nothing to do with his agent.

Indeed, these few oddballs are so obscure that they dare not even think about having any resources.

But being unpopular now doesn’t mean they will continue to be unpopular in the future. When they need some resources and the agency is unable to cope with them, they will definitely leave.

"If there is a chance, I will also introduce resources to everyone." Zhou Yiwei said frankly.

His luck turned and he was favored by Haiyan. Although he has not joined Haiyan Studio yet, he is already in talks.

He doesn't have as strong a background as Hao Yun.

Hao Yun got the chance to work on "Blood Romance" from Hairun Pictures, but they didn't even mention asking Hao Yun to join.

Because this resource was discussed at Jiang Wen's house, as soon as Jiang Wen sat there, Hao Yun had the courage to refuse anyone, no matter if it was Aunt Hua behind Ma Dagang or Haiyan behind Hairun.

If you can't hook it, you'll still eat the bait.

"Matsufumi and Hiroko's acting skills are very good. Shunliu was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Horse Awards. The reputation of Blind Shaft was also very good after its release. There will definitely be agencies contacting you later. It is not a good time for you to join the studio now." Wu Laoliu told the truth.

"Oh, whether or not to take responsibility is a matter for the future, let me have fun first."

Huang Bo also understood what Wu Laoliu meant, but he was too self-aware of his own appearance.

Moreover, whatever roles he gets is definitely because the roles are suitable for him, not because of the agency's efforts.

"I don't quite understand it, but I really want a raise. I don't want a salary." With the help of Hao Yun and Wu Laoliu, Wang Shunyu solved the problem of food and clothing and was even eligible to pay taxes.

Shi Xiaoqiang helped him pay his taxes.

"I auditioned last year and was rejected almost 300 times. I was already discouraged."

Zhang Songwen also expressed his opinion. Although his good brother Zhou Yiwei would definitely not join, this would not affect his following Hao Yun.

Recently, he became the casting director of "The Heart Labyrinth" and finally got some pride.

If it doesn't work out, I'll just work behind the scenes from now on.

However, Hao Yun still brought him good news when he came back this time. In addition to "The World's Number One", Hao Yun also found him a role in "Blood Romance", and he will join the crew with Hao Yun when the time comes.

He has not known Hao Yun as long as Huang Bo and Wang Shunliu, but he keeps getting roles.

Coupled with the work on "Heart Labyrinth", his poor situation was instantly solved.

"How about this, let them sign with a studio first. If there is a good opportunity, you can sign with them and then introduce resources to the people in our studio."

Hao Yun spoke up and helped Wu Laoliu make a decision.

Wu Laoliu wanted to roll his eyes.

You're a psychopath, no agency would operate the way you do.

You come and go as you please, and you come in and out as you please. Do you think this is a place I belong to?

However, although he was following him, the real boss was Hao Yun. Since Hao Yun said so, he naturally would not object.
