Chapter 21 Signing!
Huahai Media & Entertainment Company, General Manager Wang Yao's Office.
Ge Chen knocked on Wang Yao's office door with a stack of materials and a laptop.
"Enter!" Wang Yao's voice sounded, and Ge Chen pushed the door in.
Wang Yao sat at his desk, wearing a suit, giving people a sense of calm. He was about forty years old, mentally strong, and in good shape.
After all, he is the general manager of Huahai Media, one of the four major entertainment companies, and his status is also a behemoth in the entertainment industry.
"Ge Chen, is it you, or are you talking about signing that artist?" Wang Yao asked indifferently when he saw Ge Chen coming in.
"Yes, manager, I asked for a part of Hong Chen's performance in "Slaying the Wolf 2" from director Zheng Rui's hand, you can take a look at this part of the clip, I think this artist is worth excavating. Ge Chen said with a serious expression.
Wang Yao frowned slightly.
Ge Chen understands that he is his agent, and he is very capable, but his luck is not very good.
The last artist she signed a contract with was originally a bright star, but because she seriously injured a passerby after drunk driving, she was almost disfigured, and her popularity plummeted.
If the status of the artist is reduced, the status of his agent will naturally be reduced.
Moreover, because Ge Chen was so good, he offended many agents in the company, and now that he is like this, many people are beginning to fall into the ground.
But this woman is very strong and never willing to admit defeat, so she began to continue to look for candidates for artists, intending to start over.
The company arranged several artists for her, but she was not satisfied, her vision was very high, and then the company no longer arranged for her.
Then, Ge Chen found Hong Chen.
The acting, temperament, and appeal are all amazing.
Not signed yet, nothing negative.
Through understanding, she found that Hong Chen's character is also good.
All of this met her standards, so she collected Hong Chen's information and went to Wang Yao as soon as possible to talk about signing a contract with Hong Chen.
At the beginning, the condition given by Wang Yao was also a C-level signing, but later Ge Chen argued on the basis of reason, coupled with the box office crushing of the National Day file "Battle for Fire", Wang Yao agreed to sign B.
Now, Ge Chen has got another clip of Hong Chen's performance in "Kill the Wolf 2", hoping to improve the treatment of the contract.
It can be said that in order to sign a contract with Hong Chen, the first thing Ge Chen wanted to fight for Hong Chen's interests was to ask his entertainment company.
Wang Yao is very smart and very capable, otherwise he would not have sat in this position today.
He carefully read the information provided by Ge Chen, all aspects, including the performance clip in Kill the Wolf 2.
"This Hong Chen's acting skills are really good, and his actions are also very beautiful, and he will make a big difference in the action movie market in the future. But you also know that the market prospects for action movies are average now, and comedy and romantic dramas are the direction that investors like. ”
Wang Yao shared his views.
"However, the sluggish market for action movies may also be an opportunity. In addition, Zhang Hai did recommend this person to me a few times. In this way, the B-level signing remains the same, the small level is increasing by one level, and the salary is 0.5 percent more, depending on his intentions?"
"Okay, thank you manager. Ge Chen was very satisfied, after all, he had succeeded in achieving a little benefit.
She left Wang Yao's office, planning to call Hong Chen to discuss the signing of the contract. Unexpectedly, Hong Chen took the initiative to call her.
"Miss Ge, I'm Hong Chen, I have plans to sign a contract with Huahai, let's find a place to talk in detail. ”
"No problem. ”
Ge Chen and Hong Chen discussed the address, hung up the phone, and showed a relieved smile on their faces.
Her path as an agent has finally begun again.
The place that Hong Chen and Ge Chen agreed on was their new home.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ge Chen visited, and the doorbell rang.
When he opened the door, he found that the person who came was not only Ge Chen, but also a middle-aged man with strong spirits, who seemed to have the momentum of a superior person.
"Hello Mr. Hong, I am the general manager of Huahai Media, Wang Yao. Wang Yao stretched out his hand and said in a friendly manner.
This made Hong Chen a little surprised.
The general manager of Huahai Media, a big man in the entertainment industry, actually came to visit him in person?
"Hello, please come in!" Hong Chen shook hands with Wang Yao, and then welcomed Wang Yao and Ge Chen into the house.
"It was Ge Chen who pulled me over, and she was very interested in signing you. After Wang Yao entered the house, he said with a smile.
Ge Chen followed behind and smiled slightly.
Hong Chen can see that Wang Yao himself has a kind of charm, after all, he is a high-level figure in the entertainment industry, and he has seen a lot of various artists, and his temperament has grown.
Ge Chen invited Wang Yao over, obviously, he was expressing the sincerity of Huahai.
Hong Chen was very satisfied with this.
"Of course, I have seen Mr. Hong's performance, your acting skills are very good, and Zhang Hai also highly recommends you to me, so in order to sign an actor like Mr. Hong, I will definitely come here in person. Wang Yao said again.
I have to say that Wang Yao is full of aura and is very particular about speaking, and the two people present without a trace praised it, and the atmosphere became very harmonious.
"Manager Wang, just call me Hongchen, I do have the intention of signing a contract. Hong Chen beckoned the two of them to drink tea and said politely.
"That's great, here's the signing contract, the B-level signing, you take a look at it first. Ge Chen immediately took out the contract from his briefcase and handed it out.
Hong Chen opened the contract and looked at it seriously.
This contract is very important to him, and it is absolutely not to be sloppy.
Level B contracting.
The annual salary is 8 million.
The time limit is 10 years.
The remuneration is shared, 4.5 percent of Hong Chen, and 5.5 percent of the company.
An annual investment of not less than 5 million in entertainment resources.
A certain degree of autonomy and control, the right to choose the script.
It can be said that Huahai's contract is really very good. Not to mention the good treatment, it also gives him a certain degree of autonomy.
After all, after some artists sign a contract, the entertainment company may force him to do something he is not willing to do.
For example, a member of the once smash hit trio Little Wolves was forced to wear strange clothes because of the deterioration of his relationship with the agency, which is embarrassing.
Hong Chen looked at the process of the contract, Wang Yao was leisurely drinking tea on the side, and Ge Chen looked a little nervous.
For about twenty minutes, Hong Chen carefully read the thick contract, and after putting down the contract, he said:
"The conditions were very good and I agreed to sign the contract. ”
Hearing his words, Wang Yao smiled slightly, and Ge Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
From now on, he officially became a B-level signed artist of Huahai Media and Entertainment Company.
It's just that Hong Chen's heart will not be willing to do this. He needs resources in the early stage, and signing a contract is the best option.
In the later stage, after he has capital, he will have his own studio and be the master himself.
The risk of the studio is very high, and if it is opened rashly in the early stage, without the accumulation of popularity and resources, it will be a catastrophe if you are not careful.
Hong Chen naturally took this into account.
With systems, resources, and methods, he can go further.
(Many people don't like the plot of the gambling agreement, and it was deleted, that is, if Hong Chen's popularity can reach the first line within three years, he will change to an A-level contract.) )
