940. Meet
AB was under the cover of a good friend, and took a three-day vacation under the pretext of illness before he had time to come to Kyoto.
This time, she wanted to see Huayi's sincerity, and secondly, she also wanted to get together with her boyfriend Huang Xiaoming, after all, even if a loving couple is difficult to block the 'beauty' generated by distance.
Early the morning of the second day after arriving in Kyoto, AB got up early and prepared a simple breakfast for Huang Xiaoming.
Eating the sandwich made by his girlfriend, Huang Xiaoming gave a high evaluation, but AB was obviously a little absent-minded.
"I'm still worried about going to Huayi today, I told Nie Wei that he will see you, you don't have to be nervous then, you can answer normally if Nie Wei asks you." Huang Xiaoming saw his girlfriend's worries and hurriedly comforted her.
"Is Nie Wei's temper really good?" AB asked with a worried face, she still remembered that her role was denied by Nie Wei a few days ago, and she even had some doubts that Nie Wei would be prejudiced against a model like her.
After all, she has seen a lot of movie actors' unfriendliness towards models, and she still remembers that she once chatted with a second-tier actress in the film and television industry, saying that when she likes filming, the other party said words that seemed to be encouraging, but in fact they were sarcastic.
That sentence has left a lot of shadows in AB's heart so far.
"Hmm..." This question made Huang Xiaoming suddenly hesitate, and he didn't give an answer immediately, because he couldn't figure out Nie Wei's temper, he was naturally very good in private, and he could accept jokes or anything, but at work, Nie Wei's serious side of personality made him look very majestic and not easy to get close to.
Moreover, Huang Xiaoming was just reprimanded by Nie Wei some time ago, and he also had a little psychological shadow in his heart.
"Brother Zhonglei, Nie Wei's temper is good, don't worry. After thinking about it, Huang Xiaoming could only give a comparative answer, of course, he didn't think Nie Wei would do anything to AB, after all, AB is not an actor of Huayi, and he has not made mistakes, so there is nothing to worry about.
AB didn't ask again, because she also saw Huang Xiaoming's uncertainty, and knew that even if she continued to ask, she would definitely not get the answer she wanted.
After breakfast, Huang Xiaoming drove AB to the company's parking lot, but he did not accompany AB upstairs because he was afraid of being seen and had to avoid suspicion.
With apprehension, AB came to the front desk with the pass Huang Xiaoming gave her.
The staff in front of the stage saw a big beautiful woman with a raw face coming over, and thought it was a little actor who came to Huayi to audition for some role, so with a smile, he took out the registration form and prepared to ask AB to fill in personal information.
"I'm not here to audition, I'm here to find you Mr. Nie, Nie Wei. Seeing this, AB hurriedly explained.
"Looking for Nie Wei, do you have an appointment?" the staff asked.
"I have a verbal agreement with him, my name is ab, you can help me contact him. AB said.
"Wait. The staff looked at AB in some surprise, they could get Nie Wei's appointment, who is this strange girl?
In the process of waiting, AB was not idle, her eyes kept looking around, Huayi Company gave her a very novel feeling, not only the fashionable decoration inside the company, but also the spirit of the people who came and went.
Compared with his current modeling agency, AB found that every staff member of Huayi Company had full confidence on their faces when they walked into this building, and some people who came here to do business would be the same as themselves when they walked into this building, with envious expressions on their faces unconsciously.
In AB's view, this is the charm of the Huaxia Entertainment Center, a company that is a 'holy place' in today's Chinese entertainment industry, and even in the entire Asian entertainment industry.
The stars here, the movies and TV series produced here, and those popular music, will continue to cause trends in this land, as the most successful entertainment company in China today, for an artist like himself, how can he not want to join?
So after getting the good news from Huang Xiaoming, AB almost didn't hesitate, and decided to change jobs within a few seconds.
She knows very well that she will never become a big star in a modeling company in her life, and only in a big company like Huayi can she have the resources she dreams of.
What's more, her boyfriend is still in this big company, whether it is out of career or affection, the decision to change jobs is completely a decision to kill two birds with one stone.
Now the only thing left to consider is what kind of signing conditions Huayi will give itself.
AB, who was thinking wildly, suddenly felt that his shoulder was touched, and he quickly came back to his senses, and saw that the staff who asked him just now was calling himself.
"Miss AB, Mr. Nie is waiting for you in the tea room on the sixth floor, please come with me. ”
The sixth floor is the leisure area of Huayi Company, there is a café, a tea room, an entertainment area, a fitness area, etc., AB followed the staff all the way, although the surface is calm, but the heart has long been surprised.
She never thought that the company would provide these things.
You know, their modeling agency doesn't even have a commissary, and the coffee provided by the whole company is instant, and just like that, the hot water is always interrupted.
Listening to the introduction of the staff in front, all areas of this recreation area, whether it is drinking coffee or eating refreshments, are all free except for not taking out and waste, and there are many key types.
This makes AB feel like walking into a high-end club, thinking that the staff of Huayi can work here, and it is really enjoyable.
When she sighed in her heart, the staff had already taken her to the tea room, and Nie Wei was sitting by the window at this time, drinking tea and chatting with Luo Kai.
"People are coming. Nie Wei recognized this very popular little flower girl in the future at the first glance when he saw ab, beckoned to her with a smile, and then whispered to Luo Kai opposite.
"Then I'll go to the lounge first. When Luo Kai got up and was about to leave, he glanced at the ab who came over, and when she couldn't deny it, this girl was indeed very likable.
"Hello Mr. Nie, I'm ab. AB didn't notice Luo Kai who walked away, and at this time she only had Nie Wei in her nervous eyes.
"You may be seated. Nie Wei smiled and stretched out his hand to point across from him, motioning for AB to sit there.
When AB sat down, Nie Wei took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea, which made AB a little flustered, and quickly got up again to thank him, and after saying a few words of thanks, he sat down amid Nie Wei's laughter.
"Miss AB, don't be nervous, Huang Xiaoming should have told you about the company's intention to sign you, right?" Nie Wei asked.
"That's it. ”
"What about your thoughts, are you interested in joining Huayi?"
AB hesitated for two or three seconds, then nodded firmly, and replied: "I hope to join Huayi, but I still have a contract with the current company, and after I join Huayi, can you tell me about my future career plan?"
"Of course. Nie Wei nodded, and then said, "Huang Xiaoming should tell you to prepare your current brokerage contract, please show it to me." ”
Hearing this, AB hurriedly took out the contract that had been prepared long ago from his handbag and handed it to Nie Wei.
Nie Wei wants AB's brokerage contract, mainly to determine the liquidated damages clause, and sure enough, as Nie Wei expected, the liquidated damages for these models are really not high in his opinion, even if the pillar of the modeling company in front of him, AB, the liquidated damages are only 10 million.
Of course, this 10 million is definitely more than the value of AB now, which is also the confidence of the modeling agency, I don't think anyone will spend 10 million to dig a model.
"Regarding liquidated damages, Huayi will pay the full amount for you, you only need to cooperate with Huayi's legal department to go through the process at that time, and about the treatment you signed into Huayi, I have also prepared a draft contract here, you can take a look at it first. As he spoke, Nie Wei handed the contract that had been prepared long ago to AB.
Nie Wei looked at AB frowning and flipped through the contract, knowing that she probably didn't understand those complicated terms, but fortunately, he had already made sufficient preparations.
"The approximate legal terms are the normal content of the brokerage contract, and I have marked you with a highlighter on your treatment, so you can focus on these marked terms. ”
"Ah, thank you. AB glanced at Nie Wei in surprise, he didn't expect him to be so careful.
As she turned the pages one by one, sure enough, some places were indeed marked with highlighters, including the company benefits she enjoyed after signing the contract, as small as five insurances and one housing fund, as well as the proportion of her income and the company's share, and as big as what resources the company would arrange for her.
"Don't you have any questions? Don't be embarrassed, the contract is to be discussed, if you have any questions, you can ask me now, and we will try to negotiate and resolve them as soon as possible." Nie Wei looked at AB silently for half an hour without asking a question, so he took the initiative to ask.
In fact, AB did have a lot of questions in her heart, but she was afraid of life and didn't dare to ask.
Now Nie Wei took the initiative to ask her, but gave her a step, and the questions accumulated in her heart began to confide in Nie Wei.
"The length of the contract?"
"Six years is not a long time, for film and television newcomers like you, we need to spend resources to cultivate, and this training process takes time, often training you from a newcomer to a qualified actor, at least one or two years, and the subsequent time is when you bring real benefits to the company, so these six years are the time to train people, if it is too short, the company will lose more than it gains. ”
"Oh, I understand, what about this share?"
"In the first two years, the company requires a share of 60 percent, which seems to be a bit high, but in fact, your income in these two years is not much, and as your fame grows and your income increases, the company's share will naturally decline, you see the third and fourth years, the company only asks for 40 percent of the share, and in the fifth and sixth years, the company only asks for 20 percent of the share, this kind of ladder sharing fully takes into account the interests of both of us. ”
"Mm-hmm, that makes sense......"
AB soon found that he couldn't resist Nie Wei's explanation at all, although he asked some questions that he felt were unreasonable, but in the end he accepted them all, and as a result, a few questions were asked, the same as before he didn't ask.
Fortunately, these ABs can also accept it, not to mention that many benefits in the contract are too tempting for her.
For example, a special nanny car and a team of at least five people, these are things she didn't dare to imagine in the modeling agency before, as long as she signs this contract, she no longer needs to squeeze a car with other models, she will also have her own makeup artist, costume artist, life assistant and exclusive agent.
What she likes the most is that it has been stated in the contract that in the first three years of the contract, the company will arrange for her at least one movie or TV series every year for the main role, which is the film and television resources she dreams of.
"Don't worry, it's okay to take the contract back and find someone to study it again, I'm waiting for your reply. Nie Wei stood up, ready to end this conversation.
However, what he didn't expect was that AB, who was sitting opposite, also stood up, but instead of saying goodbye to Nie Wei, he directly agreed to sign the contract.
"I didn't bring a pen. AB said embarrassedly.
"Are you sure you have thought about it, you don't need to discuss it with Huang Xiaoming again?" Nie Wei asked again.
"No, I'm very satisfied with this contract, being an actor has always been my dream. AB replied firmly.
Seeing this, Nie Wei didn't ask too much, and asked a staff member to print out a formal contract again, and then handed the signature pen he was carrying to AB.
The contract was quickly printed, AB took a look at it, and then signed his name.
"First of all, welcome to Huayi. Nie Wei put away the contract and said with a smile.
"I'm honored. AB's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was not at peace at this time when she signed this contract.
"Next, the company will arrange some courses for you first, mainly acting classes, I have seen some of your film and television works, to be honest, I dare not compliment your acting skills, so you must first exercise your acting skills, you must know that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. ”
Nie Wei's words made AB's heart tremble, and he quickly cheered up and nodded to Nie Wei to reassure.
Seeing this, Nie Wei nodded with satisfaction and didn't say anything.
In Nie Wei's opinion, AB's appearance conditions are very good, which is why she can quickly become popular in the future, but one of her most criticized points is her acting skills and dedication.
Those who say that AB is not dedicated enough, this point Nie Wei thinks is inaccurate.
If nothing else, just look at her desperate appearance in Running Man and know that this is not a squeamish actor.
And her disdedication lies in the fact that as a traffic star, she has too much work, which is also the main reason for her filming cutouts, and this is completely because the agency did not arrange her itinerary properly.
However, in terms of acting, the public's accusations against AB are justified.
She was born as a model and has not learned any acting systematically, and she can't see it in some light-hearted and humorous Chinese New Year movies or some youth idol movies and TV series, but as long as she challenges some slightly difficult roles, her acting skills will be immediately revealed.
Since Nie Wei decided to give her resources to train her, she doesn't want her to follow the old path, at least in terms of acting skills, she doesn't want her to reach the level of a movie queen, at least she has to pass.
Nie Wei didn't stay long, and after putting away the contract, he said goodbye to AB, until Nie Wei's figure left his sight, AB looked around, and then quickly took out the phone, ready to dial Huang Xiaoming's phone.
But at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her gaze, making her fingers that were about to press the call button pause in mid-air, and the whole person was stunned.
