After the car reached the Second Ring Road.
Bai Xin rushed out in a hurry, she still had to rush to play the role of a female Eighth Route Army soldier, the kind who sacrifices herself immediately after a bomb is thrown.
Her appearance was just a brief face reveal.
The pay was three hundred yuan a day, truly a small-time actor.
Before leaving, she even said goodbye to him as 'Uncle'.
Time is unforgiving, his former primary school bully self has now become an 'Uncle' in someone else's mouth.
He only truly knew two people in the Entertainment Circle.
One was Zhao Liying, and the other was Director Yang Jiancheng.
In the Entertainment Circle, it's not like you can find projects to invest in just because you have money.
Good projects are even scarcer resources, and for someone like him with no connections in the Entertainment Circle, it's not an exaggeration to call him a complete novice.
Besides, the little over one hundred million yuan in his pocket is completely insignificant in the Entertainment Circle.
Who among the slightly famous doesn't have a small goal like that?
Let's find an office space first.
He definitely couldn't afford to rent an entire building, nor was there any need.
After searching around, he still ended up renting in the area with the most concentrated high-rise buildings in Beijing.
CBD.
This area is also Beijing's Central Business District, where big shots gather.
Chen Pingsheng paid a high price to rent a small office space of nearly five hundred square meters in the China World Trade Center, officially establishing Tengying Entertainment.
The main reason for renting here was convenience.
Right next door were two pairs of pants.
The CCTV Headquarters Building.
And Beijing's tallest building, the China Zun.
Also known as the CITIC Group Headquarters Building, with a total height of 528 meters.
Only in a place like this can you realize how insignificant you are.
His office was rented, and the location was very grand, but currently, from the Boss to the cleaning lady, it was just him.
Tengying Entertainment, as the name suggests, primarily focuses on Entertainment Circle investment.
Chen Pingsheng sat idly by the floor-to-ceiling window and took the initiative to call Yang Jiancheng, informing him that he had already arrived at the Second Ring Road.
If it was convenient, he could come over.
He also called Zhao Liying, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time, and planned to discuss Tengying Entertainment's future investment work after they arrived.
Specifically, how to proceed.
Zhao Liying arrived quite quickly; she had bought herself a small Mercedes-Benz.
As long as you can be a lead actor in the Entertainment Circle, the income is still very high.
Buying a car and a house after one drama is completely within reach.
Stardom nourishes people, and Zhao Liying had also completely shed her initial shyness, becoming a well-known artist in the Entertainment Circle.
"Chen Ge."
"Liying, look, thanks to you, your Chen Ge now also runs an entertainment company."
Zhao Liying's smile was still very sweet, and there was a reason why she had such good audience appeal.
It truly warms the heart.
"That's great news."
Zhao Liying sat down opposite him very comfortably, and Chen Pingsheng poured her a cup of tea.
"Liying, your lu zhen legend is almost finished filming, right?"
"Yes, Director Yang is very efficient. It will definitely be completed within another month."
Zhao Liying asked him, "Chen Ge, are you planning to sign and train artists yourself by opening this entertainment company, or just invest?"
"Is there a difference?"
"Oh, the difference is huge."
Zhao Liying explained, "If you only plan to invest, then after the drama airs, it will have nothing to do with you. But if you sign artists, if this drama becomes popular, your company can take a large cut from the artist's subsequent commercial performances, endorsements, etc. In the future, even if this artist takes on other dramas, your company will still take at least half of their pay. This way, you can have a continuous stream of income."
Training artists, the income is indeed high, but the key is that he doesn't know how.
Chen Pingsheng said, "You know, your Chen Ge used to be a street vendor, and in my free time, I helped people move. I don't really understand these things in the Entertainment Circle, let alone managing artists."
"Chen Ge, I, Zhao Liying, hope to become the first artist under your banner. I hope you won't dislike me."
Zhao Liying stood up and said very seriously.
Without him, Chen Pingsheng, perhaps she would still be running errands everywhere.
One must know how to be grateful. Many large companies have wanted to sign her in the past six months, and this is the reason she hasn't agreed.
Chen Pingsheng waved his hand in refusal, "Don't mess around. With my small-scale setup and lack of knowledge, I'm afraid I'll hold you back if you join."
"Chen Ge, stop being humble. You might not understand the Entertainment Circle right now, but give yourself some time, and I believe you will definitely do better than anyone else."
"You believe in me that much?"
"Of course."
Zhao Liying smiled sweetly, "Chen Ge, didn't you make Tengsheng Fruit so big in just under a year?"
"The Entertainment Circle is just like that. The main thing is to find good scripts and good directors, and then find people who genuinely want to be actors. It definitely won't be harder than selling fruit."
"If you say so, then I have confidence."
Chen Pingsheng laughed and said, "We're not outsiders. Since you believe in me, I definitely can't treat you unfairly. How about this: I will invest in any script you like in the future, the company will only take a 10% cut of your starring pay, and we'll collaborate with anyone you want to work with."
These three 'any' clauses fully affirmed Zhao Liying's independence within Tengying Group.
These conditions are absolutely unprecedented in any company.
He was also fully delegating authority; if he didn't know how to do something, he shouldn't force it but leave it to professionals.
Zhao Liying didn't expect to receive such favorable treatment as soon as she joined.
The first 'any' clause fully guaranteed her freedom to choose scripts in the future.
And even more importantly, as long as she liked it, Tengying Group would invest.
This is something no artist in the industry could ever imagine.
The second clause naturally guaranteed her absolute income.
No matter how popular an artist is, no company only takes a 10% cut.
The third clause is even more significant. What actors fear most is finding a good script, only to have a completely untalented traffic star packaged and inserted into the opposing role by capital.
In that case, no matter how hard she tried, it would fail.
With these three clauses, she would absolutely be the most special existence in the Entertainment Circle.
"Chen Ge, then let's sign the contract quickly. You're not allowed to go back on your word."
"Don't rush, let me give you a small gift first."
Chen Pingsheng asked her, "Where are you living now?"
"I bought a small house here."
"Your Sister-in-law is currently obsessed with flipping real estate. How about this, I'll have her buy a large apartment in Shijing Mountain to give you as a signing gift. We can still be neighbors in the future."
Chen Pingsheng called Song Yanxi; he wanted to emulate Liu Bei.
He could only emulate him because he truly didn't understand the Entertainment Circle.
Even with the help of a golden finger, without a female Zhuge Liang to help guide him.
His Tengying Group would likely find it very difficult to truly grow big.
A large apartment in Shijing Mountain would cost at most six to seven million yuan, compared to the future income a big star could bring.
It was completely a drop in the bucket.
As the first female artist under Tengying Group, and still living in a small house?
Does that make sense?
As the saying goes, 'burn incense in a cold temple', without great effort, there is no great reward.
Zhao Liying was completely stunned by him.
More importantly, she didn't know when she had become so valuable?
She was just a little-known figure who hadn't even reached the third tier.
If you're going to be a Boss like this, I can depend on you for a lifetime.
