Maybe Xia Fan is not the youngest director in the entertainment industry. After all, in this world, as long as you have spare money or some background, anyone can become a director, and then make some "masterpieces" like "Dream Showbiz" to feed the audience.
¡°However, in this age group, Xia Fan is the only one who can receive such attention as a director.
The day after the finale of "In the Name of the People" aired, taking advantage of the wave of popularity, Xia Fan's personal studio also announced the title of the film it was planning to produce on Weibo: "Charlotte Troubles."
This name can easily give people the illusion that the protagonist of the movie is named Charlotte, and reading the five words together can easily leave a deeper memory for people.
"Hello everyone, this comedy movie is directed and acted by me, and the script outline is also written by myself. I hope it can make everyone laugh when it is released. This is my small goal."
Xia Fan¡¯s personal official Weibo also reprinted this post from the studio, which can be regarded as building momentum for this self-directed and self-acted film.
"Some netizens also think that some artists become screenwriters, but they only have one name, and many contents are ghostwritten by professionals. But please believe that the script outline of this movie was designed by me personally, because when you see this Once the movie is released, you will be convinced that no one else can write this kind of script!"
This sentence was trending by Xia Fan¡¯s personal studio, and then pushed to many netizens in a timely manner.
By the way, the popularity and expectations of the movie "Charlotte" were suddenly raised.
¡¡
In the office.
Stefanie Lai was sitting on the chair, while Xia Fan was sitting on the guest sofa drinking tea. In the silence, Stefanie Lai suddenly sighed: "Xiaoxia, you made a mistake!"
"Um?" Xia Fan put down the tea cup, showing a trace of confusion.
"After the Spring Festival Gala, especially after the broadcast of "In the Name of the People," many businesses approached you for cooperation. If your debut film was a few months late in attracting investment, there would be no need to attract investment from Times Entertainment. In this way Come on, you will have more say in the movie." Stefanie Lai reminded.
Three years after she became Xia Fan¡¯s agent, her perspective on the problem has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Stefanie Lai¡¯s first priority is Xia Fan¡¯s interests, followed by the company, even though she is still an agent under Times Entertainment.
"The company will not participate in the decision-making, it is all decided by me." Xia Fan said with a smile.
¡°But you have to make concessions in terms of profit sharing and some business development.¡± The agent added.
Her suggestion is that in order to better grasp the initiative, it is best not to let the company invest in you. Even if you have to give in, you can only give a small part of the amount. It is not like you, Xia Fan, can't get investment.
"That's true, but there is a conditional exchange between me and the company. If time comes back, I will still be looking for investment from Times Entertainment this time."
Xia Fan said with a smile.
"When you consider this, I feel relieved. There are many film and television companies here, and they are still confirming whether you really will not act in TV series in the future." Stefanie Lai raised another question.
Xia Fan had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "I would only consider acting in a TV series if I had a clone. After all, I am really busy now."
Frankly speaking, there is still time to squeeze in, but he doesn't want to keep himself so busy.
"That's okay, I'll refuse it for you! There are also some commercial performances, such as platform, or tailoring and other activities, the rewards are quite rich, you may not be interested, but I have to confirm again."
"Just quit, I'm not interested."
Xia Fan shrugged and said.
Sometimes, these rich bosses give too much, and Xia Fan still chooses to "refuse without hesitation".
¡°There is also an advertising invitation here, I think you might be interested.¡±
Stefanie Lai took out a very formal document from her bag, which was written in both Chinese and English.
¡°Coca-Cola global spokesperson?¡±
Xia Fan was stunned for a long time after seeing this advertisement invitation.
"The spokesperson of Coca-Cola. Although it is a global brand, it still conforms to your previous commitment. I hope that the products endorsed can be affordable by fans." Stefanie Lai looked at Xia Fan's somewhat surprised expression and smiled at the corner of her mouth.
"Coca-Cola is a best-selling drink in the world, a well-known brand, but the price is not expensive, everyone can afford it." Xia Fan looked at the contract document carefully, as if he wanted to confirm it again, "But I am very surprised, with this company's habits?, aren¡¯t the spokespersons we look for in China always the top celebrities? "
¡°No one stipulates that Coca-Cola can only have one spokesperson, right?¡± Stefanie Lai asked rhetorically.
Xia Fan was a little surprised. Based on the company's rich tradition, in the past, it would often temporarily add artists to the contract, and whoever was successful would be signed.
It¡¯s not bad money anyway.
Stefanie Li stared at Xia Fan, but found that he was as calm as water. Except for the unexpected look at the beginning, he quickly regained his composure.
She felt that if it were other artists, they would seize the opportunity to endorse "Coca-Cola" without hesitation, but if it were Xia Fan, Stefanie Kong was not sure. Xia Fan's ideas were always unconstrained and unpredictable. .
"I have to make it clear that the scope of your endorsement is the Greater China region, which means all countries that have set Chinese as their official language."
This time, Xia Fan once again had a slightly moved look on his face.
In this time and space, there are obviously many more countries that have set Chinese as their official language than in previous generations, not only in Southeast Asia, but also in Australia and New Zealand in the Asia-Pacific region.
Because there are too many Chinese immigrants there.
¡°The structure is quite high, but am I the only spokesperson?¡± Xia Fan asked curiously.
"It is said that there is also one in the country of Amelia, a Hollywood superstar, and he will interact with you." Stefanie Lai replied.
"Interaction?" Xia Fan's brows suddenly frowned. He was a little unsure about Coca-Cola Company's ideas.
Stefanie Lai continued to explain: "The interaction is just to increase the popularity. There will be no conflict between your two markets. The endorsement scope belongs to both sides of the Pacific and is independent of each other."
¡°That is to say, the endorsement market that Xia Fan is responsible for is on the West Coast of the Pacific, while the endorsement market for the Hollywood superstar is on the East Coast of the Pacific.
The company Coca-Cola allows them to interact in order to increase the popularity of the product.
In this time and space, Pepsi-Cola does not exist, but various beverages are emerging in China in endlessly, some are solely Chinese-owned, some are exclusively foreign-owned, and some are Sino-foreign joint ventures.
But these companies often secretly ridicule "Coca-Cola" for not being nutritious enough. Therefore, although there is no Pepsi-Cola in this time and space, Coca-Cola's market share is not much different from that of the previous life.
