A while ago, Gao Ye and her agent Li Yangcheng searched for hot terms.
This mysterious woman actually appears frequently in the interview of "Paste Coffee" Gao Ye all year round.
Until now that Gao Ye has become popular, she has come to the public as a sister flower who has "saved each other".
[The agent] took my hand (and let me) look up at the stars in the mud
And Zhang Songwen, who has also risen in popularity with "Crazy", was also revealed to be the highlight of this play, as well as on important occasions in the past, he must wear a mysterious yellow coat - from his late agent Zhao Yude.
"Crazy"
Zhang Songwen hopes that every time he makes an achievement, people can witness it with him.
In the past, the group of agents who played some kind of "high-class pimp" in the public impression rarely appeared as a mountain streamer.
Of course, it's not to blame the public for being stereotyped.
Such a broker has always been an unattainable existence in your circle.
What are the most basic qualities of a good broker?
In "Me and My Agent", Zhang Yuqi's agent gave the answer that there is love.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to think and do things for artists from the bottom of their hearts.
Gao Ye once stamped Li Yang's character: No one except my mother ever believed me like this.
Gao Ye is red, Li Yang is happier than himself, soaking in the Internet all day to see how netizens praise Gao Ye, and can't sleep in the middle of the night.
And Zhang Songwen's former agent Zhao Yude has brought stars such as Shu Qi and Yang Qianwei through business, but Zhang Songwen, who knows the most about unknown origin in the crowd, specially moved from Hong Kong to the mainland just to take him alone.
For Zhang Songwen, who is critical of the script, Zhao Yude has never condone.
If you are not satisfied, you refuse, and never force him.
To what extent is it indulged? It wasn't until Zhao Yude was so poor that he couldn't pay the rent that Zhang Songwen suddenly realized that he could be willful because someone was carrying it.
The profession of an agent is actually very contradictory.
On the one hand, "broker" is his job, but on the other hand, he operates "people".
It's not enough to be professional, it takes hard work.
A little more gossip... How many celebrities and agents do you count to tie the knot?
Da Zhang Wei married agent Liu Ying, Gu Juji married agent Chen Yunqing...
It is not so much that the agent is a big star, but that the romance that people seek all their lives is just an organic companionship.
And these brokers do just that.
Da Zhang Wei disbanded in 09 and left the company in 12 years, in the gray period, Liu Ying firmly left with him and continued to build his career;
Chen Yunqing was with Gu Juji when he debuted, doing everything, but he could only be an invisible girlfriend, giving birth at the age of 52, and in 2009, Gu Juji finally recognized love when he got TVB's "Most Popular Male Star".
In the film and television industry, the agent who helps the actor decide what film and television drama to take and what market positioning to take, in the music industry, it is the producer who bears this job responsibility.
Liu Ruoying once cried and asked her master: Don't you like me?
The other person replied: Why do I spend so much time on you if I don't like you.
Good musical works must be the result of hard work, and without love, it is impossible to be willing to give all the good things in your heart.
Li Zongsheng, who holds Chen Shuhua in one hand, also overflows his love for it.
His rainbow fart Chen Shuhua is the "most singing female singer", and when he shares the stage with her, he will be cramped and uneasy, and will always peek at her.
As we all know, Chen Shuhua and her mother are inseparable, and there are many suitors around them, but there has been no clear romance.
The host once jokingly asked Li Zongsheng why he didn't attack Chen Shuhua, he didn't deny that he had feelings, and responded frankly:
Because her mother is always there, she can't get off.
Talking about the concept of marriage and love, Chen Shuhua said that she had thought about getting married, but felt that it was easy to change as soon as the relationship was confirmed, and it was easy to break up in about a year.
Li Zongsheng on the side was excited when he saw his groundbreaking and relaxed marriage, and he even undoubtedly rolled up his sleeves and looked ready to act.
And there are words in the words:
So is it the meaning of never changing?
When Chen Shuhua was 40 years old, she faded out of the music scene after her mother's death. Years later, at the concert of "Works of Reason and Sensibility", after Liang Jingru, a newcomer who was also discovered by Li Zongsheng, finished singing "When a Dream Wakes Up", Li Zongsheng shouted on the screen to Chen Shuhua, who had been missing for many years:
Long time no see, Shuhua, are you watching offstage? Look at Xiao Li become a real old Li...
This love, time can't rush away, just like Chen Shuhua said back then, the songs Li Zongsheng made for her are (all) very timeless.
And Li Bingbing's twin to the agent is even more absolute - her own sister Li Xue.
The love of this loved one is even more righteous.
As soon as Li Xue graduated, she gave up the superior life in Hangzhou and went to Beijing to live in a shared house with her sister outside the fourth ring road, and began to learn to be an agent with many hats.
I was so busy that I didn't have time to get married and have children, and finally got married, giving birth at the age of 38, and before entering the delivery room, I was still docking the contract details of Li Bingbing's movie.
Only with such love can it be possible to recognize horses because of preference.
But love alone is certainly not enough.
Only when an agent has a business mindset, discovers the advantages of the artist, and combines the situation can he help him open up the situation.
Gao Ye had been abandoned by several brokers before meeting Li Yang.
Gao Ye, who has always been confident, was hit a little self-defeatingly. But when others felt that Gao Ye could not become a climate, Li Yang picked her up from the dusty "garbage heap", encouraged her all the time, and took on some important roles that affected her career.
For example, Annie Liang of "I Am Yu Huanshui".
For the absolute supporting role and harlequin in this novel, Gao Ye felt that it was "too bad to make sense", like a tool for evil, but Li Yang still persuaded her to take it.
Because although this is an online drama, it is well-made and professionally teamed, allowing the actors to have a reasonable part.
And Gao Ye's interpretation just injected vitality into Annie Liang.
With short hair style, it can also be sexy and sassy; There is a reason why she is bad, and she has gone down the wrong path based on the difficulties of women's workplaces...
"I Am Yu Huanshui"
Li Yang knows that Gao Ye has the ability to shape characters, so a good team is actually more valuable than a good script.
As a result, Takahba's career began to really climb to this day.
Another example is Chen Shufen, the holy hand of the Hong Kong circle.
The most amazing thing about this person is not only the service list that spans decades of Hong Kong entertainment - Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Anita Mui, Shen Dianxia, Cheung Zhilin, Chen Songling, Chow Wah Kin, Luo Wen, Li Zhi, Grasshopper, Wong Minhao...
What's more, she can grasp the pulse of the entertainment industry and seize unique opportunities for artists.
The movie "Anita Mui" once showed the experience of Aunt Mei and her brother walking in a bar in their early years.
You will see that Leslie Cheung's overly avant-garde style at that time was actually not favored in Hong Kong.
The turning point is related to Chen Shufen.
At that time, she heard her first sexually charged dance music in Japan, and she did not hesitate to travel back and forth many times to obtain the copyright.
This cover song is his brother's early masterpiece "Monica", which is a milestone that established his status in the music scene.
As for Aunt Mei's success, it also depends on Chen Shufen's unique insight.
At that time, Chen Shufen saw the 19-year-old at the TV singing competition and instantly fell in love with her heterochromatic charm.
After signing her, he also specially arranged for Liu Peiji to design her image.
Aunt Mei's ever-changing spirit in rewriting the history of pop music was watered out by her.
What has to be mentioned is the first agent of internal entertainment, Wang Jinghua.
In this industry, she belongs to the Mosesian figure.
In the past, the attributes of mainland brokers were mostly positioned as "soliciting customers".
But Wang Jinghua, who has a long-term vision and no details, was born in the red sea of the entertainment industry, opening a way for a group of future big names.
It's like Li Bingbing.
She has just debuted and loves beauty and has a high spirit.
Wang Jinghua had to act in a movie with a rural background.
Li Bingbing began to refuse to answer, and Wang Jinghua directly called in the middle of the night to curse, so frightened that she could only answer.
As a result, this film allowed Li Bingbing and the eldest lady Liu Lin to win the Singapore Film Festival together.
It was her first major award.
In 2005, Wang Jinghua ran away from Huayi and jumped to Orange Sky.
At that time, there was an earthquake-level event in the entertainment industry - it is said that many big names, including Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Hu Jun, Michelle Yeoh, Liu Jialing, Yuen Yongyi, etc., followed Wang Jinghua and left.
The secret war in the entertainment industry is too difficult for us to dig into.
But on the surface, it's not hard to see how a really skillful agent can win hearts and minds.
Sensual love, rational mind.
It can also produce a spiritual connection with the artist, a fit with the same smell.
Let's talk about a more unusual figure than his predecessors - Yang Tianzhen.
When recording "Me and My Agent", she had Bai Yu, Zhu Yawen, Zhao Youting, Chunxia, Zhang Yuqi, Qiao Xin and so on.
Although these artists have grown under her, they are indeed not gratifying enough when they compared their achievements in serving Sister Fan in their early years.
She once claimed to be the best broker in China.
"Me and My Agent"
But now, her most successful stroke is her famous self.
Why are there no more phenomenal artists?
Perhaps, it was because she never met anyone who smelled like herself.
Yang Tianzhen once commented on her company's artist Qiao Xin, who also "carries a lot of energy".
But Qiao Xin seems to have empty ambitions.
Ask her what her goal is, she can't say it, but one thing is very star, that is, she likes to work full and work hard, so that she can feel safe.
This is a confused worker mentality, and what Yang Tianzhen wants is an artist who vows to become and knows how to become a king.
"Me and My Agent"
Looking at Zhang Yuqi again, it seems very suitable to dare to think and dare to do it?
But when Zhang Tianzhen reminded her not to overexpose her private life, she was resistant, first, she thought she was right and did not have to hide; The second is that she feels that passive exposure cannot be self-controlled.
It's too big and grinning, and it's a little less shrewd and ruthless in running oneself.
None of the above is right or wrong.
But we can clearly feel that there is some difference between Yang Tianzhen and his artists.
The so-called similar smell is the ambition to have the same goal, and each other's minds can keep up with the ambition, and at the same time the bottom line of doing things is unified.
Li Bingbing's sister Li Xue valued the most when signing artists with Song Agent Company, and it was also this "smell similar".
Her exact words were: not a family, not entering a house.
After all, they are sisters, and Li Xue and Li Bingbing are excellent examples of similar smells.
In 2000, Li Bingbing was an artist under Wang Jinghua, who promoted a wave of national popularity with "Young Bao Qingtian 1", but by the second part, this big pie fell on another ice head, making Li Bingbing perceive the crisis.
Li Xue asked her sister: Sister, what are your dreams?
- Be a good actor with fame.
-Well, you just have to be a good actor, everything has me
Li Xue faced the four great Hua Dan who were in the limelight at that time, and secretly decided:
"People"
In Wang Jinghua's job-hopping turmoil that year, Li Bingbing and Li Xue chose to stay in Huayi.
But Li Xue was not in a hurry to put the best TV series resources of the whole company back on her sister, and began to set her sights on movies.
In 2004, Li Xue helped Li Bingbing take over the filming of "Waiting Alone" and "No Thief in the World", and word of mouth and national popularity were further opened.
Asked about the comparison with the woman of the same name, Li Bingbing said bluntly:
There is no comparison, and she is not as good as Zhang Ziyi.
The sisters are in the same voice, and what they want is not the immediate three-point land, but a broader commercial value.
And both of them are desperate.
2006 "Yunshui Ballad", 2009 "The Wind", 2010 "Snowflake Secret Fan", "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", 2014 "Transformers 4: Rebirth from Extinction", 2018 "Megalodon".
These are all clapped by Li Xue, and these have also become Li Bingbing's masterpieces in his career, winning numerous awards and going international.
At the same time, Li Xue also helped Li Bingbing win the world's first female star spokesperson in the history of the GUCCI brand.
Today, the twin sisters have created a vast business territory in domestic entertainment: Hesong Media. In 2019, the addition of Zhao Liying as a partner in the rising period also confirmed the strength of the twin sisters.
Li Xue feels that her sister is the best actor, and Li Bingbing said that without Li Xue, she would not be where she is today, and Li Xue is her boss so far.
"I am the peak showdown of actors"
Gao Ye felt that Li Yang had saved her, and Li Yang felt that Gao Ye had strengthened her determination to become an agent.
In a word.
The twin relationship between agent and star is rare.
If there is only love, too private; If only commercial, too streamlined.
This can become a great climate, and it must play a harmony and achieve each other, just like mountains and rivers.
"A Letter from Home"
In the final analysis, the responsibility of the broker ultimately lies with the "operator".
Selling people is a well-versed business in slave society, but how to build and sell a person's personality and even soul is almost an art doorway.
In the treacherous Vanity Fair, this group of businessmen plays with a group of seemingly high-ranking figures.
These wonderful scripts are much easier to read than many stars with empty personalities.
