"Mr. Chen, why do you want to enter the entertainment industry?"

Chen Jinghan looked at the young interviewer in front of him, and felt like he was a different life, as if he was back when he was taking the art exam more than ten years ago and answering the examiner's questions.

Even as an old man who has been in this circle for more than ten years and is considered to be a certain status and fame in the circle, Chen Jinghan was a little difficult to understand the other party's motivation for this problem for a while.

I am a well-known actor of all ages. Do you treat me as a young boy who has not debuted or refurbished a variety show?

If the young man on the other side was not the new director who was in the limelight recently and the dark horse in the circle, Chen Jinghan would have been overturned and left.

"Uh, Mr. Wang, are you trying to ask me the original intention of learning performance?" Chen Jinghan turned around without changing his expression, trying to find out Wang Shifeng's true purpose.

"Mr. Chen is not a newcomer in the circle. His original intention is everything that young people like to talk about. Those like us have long passed that time, so my question is literally. Your answer will determine the possible routes and resource allocation of cooperation in the future." Wang Shifeng smiled.

We are like this?

Why is your young man so unpleasant?

It is completely different from the understanding and gentleness of the rumors on the Internet.

Chen Jinghan felt a little uncomfortable because he was used to the two-faced people in the circle. When faced with this kind of honest communication method, he felt inexplicably offended.

However, for the sake of his career development, he is not willing to worry too much. Who made Xinghe Media emerge? It is the biggest potential stock and trend in the circle at present?

If he can take the Xinghe bus, his status and resources will inevitably reach a higher level.

"I understand that when I say that, a male actor is at my age, he dare not say that he is successful in his career, but at least he is considered to be free from food and clothing. What he is seeking is nothing more than further personal or professional breakthroughs. After all, people still need to pursue some pursuits when they are alive." Chen Jinghan said with a smile.

"In other words, Mr. Chen prefers the quality and exposure of his works. As for the pay, he doesn't care so much, right?" Wang Shifeng nodded and wrote something on the paper with a pen.

"Of course, I don't care much about the pay. I don't have much pursuit of material things anymore." Chen Jinghan's mouth twitched, keeping a smile.

"Then look at this." Wang Shifeng handed over a piece of paper.

Chen Jinghan took it and looked at it, stunned because he realized that this piece of paper should be the same as a contract, but the content on this piece of paper was too little, which made people doubt the value of this contract.

The main content of this contract is about pay and resources.

The contract promises that Party A (Xinghe Media) guarantees one movie resource at level A and above in Chen Jinghan's circle every year, one TV resource at level A and above, and advertising resources and commercial resources are subject to the situation.

The resource levels in the circle are divided into five levels: s.a.b.c.d. The measurement criteria are calculated based on the investment amount. The resource investment at the S level starts at 100 million, and there is no bottom cover.

There are no more than 20 projects in the entire Xiaguo film and television industry every year, and each project is produced by a top director, so the difficulty of character competition can be imagined. Chen Jinghan has been in the industry for so many years and has been a supporting role in an S-level resource for three minutes.

S-level resources are an important indicator for measuring an actor's status, because the works of S-level resources are not based on profit, but are mostly based on winning awards. They are the main channels to help actors and directors achieve their leap in status and even advance to the international level.

Therefore, the resources at S-level are very special. If you are lucky enough to participate in the role and play the main role, it will be the peak moment of your career.

A-level is a bit worse than S-level. The difference is that A-level resources are mostly commercial movies, so in terms of investment, it is likely to be larger than S-level large productions, basically starting with a budget of 500 million yuan. For example, "Ferryman" and "Found Dog Yatu" are typical A-level resources, although the latter has a little too much moisture.

Level B is a regular theater resource, with a budget of about 5,000 to 100 million. With Chen Jinghan's status, he can basically only serve as a starring actor at this level.

The so-called secondary theater movies below C level are the so-called sub-cine theater movies. The investment is below tens of millions, but there may not be a chance to get the opportunity to schedule films. Many of them will become online movies that can only be used on video platforms. Generally, they are used to make money or film and television companies to support newcomers or to burn money.

So for Chen Jinghan, this Party A’s resource commitment can be said to be very attractive. A A-level movie and TV series every year can basically ensure that his exposure rate in front of the people of the country reaches about 30%, and he is a national artist.

This is really soaring into the sky.

But there will be no pie falling from the sky, and there will inevitably be a corresponding price. Chen Jinghan is at this age and will not even fantasize about his talent being discovered.

Sure enough, Party B's conditions clearly state that the annual salary is 50,000 yuan, and the business activities are 10%, and the company has Party B's authorizations including image, reputation, etc.

And more importantly, the default standard is 20 times the highest penalty in the industry.

At first glance, Chen Jinghan thought he had read it wrong, so he counted it twice or three times before confirming that it was really a 50,000 yuan annual salary!

Although he is not a mainstream commercial artist, his pay can get 20,000 yuan in first-level movies based on TV series, and his pay starts from three million yuan. Even if he plays a guest appearance in a friendly role, the red envelope money will be more than 50,000 yuan!

This moment refreshed Chen Jinghan’s new understanding of capitalists. Thinking about the companies he signed in the past, they were all living Bodhisattvas.

Does your Xinghe Company look down on me or not?

Chen Jinghan was in a complicated mood and was speechless when he looked at Wang Shifeng for a long time.

"Mr. Chen has any objection, you can say it." Wang Shifeng said with a smile.

"Ahem, then Mr. Wang, I'm just talking straightforward. If you offend me, don't be surprised. Although I don't have much expectations for the pay,

But this annual salary and share are indeed a bit beyond my expectations. What is the standard for your company to evaluate the pay?" Chen Jinghan kept a smile on his face.

"Standard? Unified standards." Wang Shifeng took out another piece of paper, which read the [Xinghe Media Salary Level Structure Table], and marked with employee salaries of level 1 to 9.

Seeing this thing, Chen Jinghan was completely confused.

Because this thing is only in regular... standardized salary scales that only regular companies appear. In the entertainment industry, no company will set such rigid standardized salary scales for its artists, and it also says promotion rules.

In this circle for so many years, Chen Jinghan feels that he has gained a lot of experience today.

In the flexible industry of entertainment artists, some companies actually use this method to clearly mark prices for their artists, which is simply a big deal.

Do your company treats artists as serious professions?

"Wang...Mr. Wang, the entire Xinghe Media follows this salary system?" Chen Jinghan was a little confused.

"All resource artists and artists who pursue professional development have this set of standards. The maximum t9 level is 100,000 yuan. There are currently three companies in the company." Wang Shifeng said.

"Which three?" Chen Jinghan was shocked. He only received a t6-level salary at this level. At the top three levels, he would be at least a movie star, a movie star or a top artist.

Any company that has such a status signs contracted with, and the annual income is 100 million yuan. Why should a big name of this level give up a small goal a year and then be an unjust slave to your company?

Is your Wang Shifeng handsome?

"Xia Mengyao, Ah Huang, and pork belly." Wang Shifeng said with a smile.

Chen Jinghan was stunned. These three names have indeed become well-known recently. After all, they will be the first Xia Kingdom to have a box office of over 6 billion yuan.

He was not surprised that Ah Huang and Pork Belly signed this contract. After all, these are two dog actors and do not have much right to choose independently.

But what happened to Xia Mengyao?

Although she is a veteran artist in Xinghe, as the ceiling of the current value of commercial traffic, why did she sign such an unequal treaty?

Does she really want money? Have she made enough money?

Even if you make enough money, you won’t ruin yourself.

Looking at Chen Jinghan's changing expression, Wang Shifeng chuckled and explained, "This is the importance of my first question. Our company is very humane. If you choose a career, you will not use any commercial things to shackle you.

While ensuring your normal expenses, devote yourself to your career and ideals.

At the same time, it is OK for you to choose business to make money. We have another set of contracts that will tailor a business plan for you. As long as you obey the company's arrangements, you will get an income guarantee that you are satisfied with."

After listening to Wang Shifeng's careful explanation, Chen Jinghan seemed to understand a little.

Xinghe Media has two options for selling contracts. One is that it does not pay for work, but it can be eaten by disguising itself as a big cake to realize its own value.

Another way is to work and pay money, but you have to become a ruthless money-making machine for the company.

It is indeed very humane and you can choose the posture of being a resentful person.

"Of course, considering that everyone's consumption level is different, in addition to the basic salary, artists above the T5 level will also be given a special employee benefit, that is, they can also purchase company stocks through internal prices, get year-end dividends, and can even be called shareholders."

The smile on Wang Shifeng's face became more and more evident.

But it made Chen Jinghan feel inexplicably creepy.

Good guy, not only will you be squeezed out of labor or used as a money-making machine in your company, but you can even make money and pay yourself a salary, right?

The operation of your Xinghe Media is really a business genius. You can directly realize the self-sufficiency of employees and develop the company's perpetual system.

You don’t rob, you let your employees rob themselves, right?

Capitalists have to work two screws before running when they come to your company.

However, looking at the two A-level resources on the contract made Chen Jinghan fall into a pain that was difficult to make a decision.

Because he knew very clearly that this might be the closest opportunity for him to break through in his life, but the price was really too high.

He now realized why Wang Shifeng was always in a state of tranquility, because he really had bargaining chips in his hands.

"Mr. Chen seems to be a little hesitant, and his pursuit of art and profession is not so firm." Wang Shifeng teased with a smile.

In an instant, Chen Jinghan couldn't help but blush, "Mr. Wang laughed. It's not that I, Chen, was greedy for money, but it was really forced by life. I have to support my family. My mortgage and car loans each year add up to more than one million, let alone other expenses. It's not easy for us artists to make money."

"It seems that Mr. Chen has purchased more than one million yuan in mortgage loans and car loans over the years. He is indeed diligent and admirable." Wang Shifeng sighed sincerely.

"It's all for life. We are very hard to make money as actors. Filming is actually very harmful to the body. Getting up early and going to bed late is irregular, and we often have to play big shows. Mr. Wang, who is lying on ice and hiding his courage, must be more clear. Life is not easy." Chen Jinghan sighed and tried to use selling misery to arouse empathy.

"Yes, the profession of artists is quite hard, and life is really not easy. I went to the field with Mr. Jiang a few days ago and went to the kiln mine to see the miners there. The miners there have been no sunshine for many years, and their eyes and skin color have become ill.

I felt suffocated after staying there for two hours. I sucked the coal ash all over my nose. It is hard to imagine that there are more than 30 million people in the country who work in such a harsh environment for many years, and only save less than 100,000 yuan a year.

There are also local left-behind elderly people and children. Women in their fifties and sixties have to carry hundreds of kilograms of firewood to walk up and down the mountain road for more than ten miles a day to ensure their lives. Children are basically skinny and bone-like, and they can see oily and fishy times less than a month.

In order not to implicate their children, the elderly basically realized that they could not do anything, so they walked into the mountains and never came out again.

When I went there, I saw an old lady in a cave entrance in the valley, basking in the sun. The sunset hit her bright red clothes, which was dazzling, but we didn't dare to come forward to disturb me, because the local villagers told me that the old lady was wearing a shroud and she was waiting for the arrival of death."

Wang Shifeng's face had a warm smile and a calm tone, but what he said was shocking.

Chen Jinghan's face turned pale when he heard this, and many strange thoughts flashed in his heart. Finally, he asked in confusion, "Mr. Wang, why do you do when you tell me this?"

What does this have to do with me not making money?

"It's nothing. I just share with Mr. Chen the normal life of the world. Everyone has worked hard. Who makes this world bad? And everyone wants to climb up? Since you want to climb up, you will naturally have to fight your life. You said right?" Wang Shifeng's smile was like the cold wind in the first month.
