Chapter 4 Let the Missiles Fly?
Before becoming an agent, there were many positions such as artist assistant and executive agent. Even after becoming an agent, it is still graded.
The little agent ran around with the newcomer, begging his father to tell his grandmother every day just for an announcement.
The more powerful agents can wait for someone else to come to the door and pick up the announcement.
No matter how powerful the agent is, he has to start begging his father to tell his grandmother for big productions and those announcements and characters that are bound to be popular.
The most powerful brokers can already manipulate resources, saying that whoever is popular will be popular, and if they are not popular, they will be popular.
There are also agents who have countless artists under them, divided into different categories, and their ways of treating the artists under their command are also different.
And some agents are turned against by the artist, and become the artist's subordinate, taking a certain role in the artist's studio.
Like Lin Menglan, even if it is miserable now, he still has his own studio, which dominates everything except for the film contract, and Mannie is the person in charge of the studio.
Lu Yang, as the agent assigned to Lin Menglan by Jiawei Media, is actually a redundant existence, except for today's handover to see Lin Menglan once, it will be difficult to see him in the future.
Theoretically, Lu Yang's best outcome is to become Mannie's younger brother and hold certain positions in the studio.
When Lin Menglan and Jiawei's contract expired, Lu Yang followed him to the studio and hugged Lin Menglan's thigh.
But it's not what Lu Yang wants.
He wants to become a man who has been in the back waves, and it is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work in this life.
"Tell me, what should I do. ”
After entering the house, Lin Menglan sat in the corner and bowed her head silently, Mannie communicated with Lu Yang instead of her, and asked for a plan as soon as she opened her mouth.
As everyone knows, it has exposed the fact that they actually knew about the news for a long time.
Lu Yang didn't break it, and analyzed: "Director Li said in an interview that Sister Lan gave him some hints in order to ask for a role, hoping to trade with beauty, but he refused. ”
"Don't even think about it, the truth should be the opposite"
At this point, Lu Yang trusts Lin Menglan 100%. If there were such plans, these years would not have been so difficult. Even if he really wants to trade, he won't be able to trade with him as a small director.
"Do we have any recordings or surveillance at the time?"
Mannie shook her head regretfully.
Who would secretly record when talking about business, after all, everyone sat together with sincerity at the beginning, and no one thought that this Director Li was actually a nasty embryo.
"This kind of thing is not clear to us just by saying, it is best to fight back with facts. Lu Yang pondered for a moment and then said, "If we have other characters now, then Director Li's rumors will be self-defeating." ”
"But the problem is, we really don't have any other characters, you may not know much about Menglan's situation, anyway......" Mannie was very sad.
In fact, this has happened more than once in the past five years.
At the beginning, netizens supported Lin Menglan.
But things have happened a lot, and netizens more or less think that Lin Menglan may also have some problems, otherwise why did you encounter these things?
This kind of victim guilt theory is quite popular with some so-called "rational people".
Gradually, Lin Menglan's reputation fell.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the character's affairs, and there will be results soon. Lu Yang spoke again.
For a moment, the box was quiet, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
This kind of lump sum does not make people feel appreciated in the workplace, but can be perceived as an irresponsible attitude. If you don't know what you are sure of, you can bear the consequences of not being able to complete it in the end?
"If you're just someone who likes to talk big, then I'll say the same thing, you go find your next artist. This is for Menglan's good, and it is also for your good, even if Menglan's affairs only affect you, it is enough to ruin your career that you haven't started yet. Mannie was trying to keep her emotions in check.
If it weren't for the fact that this young man was quite handsome, she would have lost her temper.
Tick tick tick.
As Mannie spoke, Lu Yang's phone rang.
What's even more bizarre is that after Lu Yang answered the phone, he directly stretched out his hand to signal Mannie not to make a sound.
That attitude, as if I didn't figure out who the seniors were.
"Hey, hello...... Don't give birth, don't you give birth, your words are not our spoken language, it seems polite...... Eh, that's it...... Well, okay...... Understand ......" Lu Yang exchanged a few words with the other party, and kept nodding, "Thank you, it is enough to have this opportunity, and we will fight for the rest with our own strength." ”
"Well, okay, we'll see you in the afternoon, uh-huh. ”
Three minutes later, Lu Yang hung up the phone.
Mannie's eyes flickered, and she could probably guess something from what she had just said.
Opportunity?
We?
For?
Is this a certain character?
"No wonder you asked me and Menglan out so confidently, it turns out that you have been prepared. Mannie began to re-examine Lu Yang, this young man may not be as simple as she thought.
I heard that on Jiawei's side, several of the most difficult artists are now in his hands, some people want to see him laugh, and some people don't care about this small role that will end their agent career in the near future.
But now it seems that perhaps...... Isn't all this accidental?
Mannie shook her head, not continuing to think about it. She shouldn't believe that the young man in front of her has this wisdom and courage.
"It's just a matter of luck. Lu Yang had a sunny smile on his face.
"That's pretty remarkable, too. Mannie also smiled, sure enough, it was just luck, "By the way, what kind of play, let's go over the audition in the afternoon?"
"But let's say first, we went to auditions, mainly to deal with rumors. Menglan has high requirements for the script, and we are the direct heroine, if the other party does not meet Menglan's requirements, we will not play in the end. ”
Lin Menglan is currently the youngest Da Tsing Yi in China, and among actresses in the age group of 30 to 40, her acting skills and honors are ranked in the top three.
Even if you don't have good resources, you won't star in some bloody dramas that ruin your reputation.
Because of her reputation in acting, she is already Lin Menglan's last capital, she can't lose anymore, otherwise she will really not be able to get up for the rest of her life.
Similarly, she will not play a supporting role for the time being, because this is tantamount to ending her career as a heroine early and letting her career enter the twilight period, which cannot be opened.
You must know that Lin Menglan is only thirty-five, not yet forty. With her honor and status in the film industry, she should play the heroine before the age of fifty.
"Let the Missiles Fly. Lu Yang spoke.
