First of all, before explaining why Li Mo was so surprised by Gu Limena's request, we need to clarify what the relationship between the agent or agency and the actor is really like.

The definition of so-called brokers in law is as follows: natural persons, legal persons and other economic organizations engaged in brokerage business such as intermediaries, disciplines or agents for the purpose of collecting commissions in economic activities for the purpose of inducing others to trade.

But in fact, what we call a broker in the ordinary sense, most of the time, refers to an individual who actually exists.

For example, Zong Shuai has been Li Mo's agent until now, and when Li Mo has problems in his acting career that needs to be dealt with, Zong Shuai will put on the battle......

However, in Molong Media, there is currently only a pair of Zong Shuai and Li Mo in a one-to-one 'agent-artist' relationship like this.

After the establishment of Molong Media, in order to implement Li Mo's intention to create a new agent structure, Zong Shuai has completely abandoned the 'one-to-one' model and turned to a 'many-to-many' model that is rarely seen in China.

The so-called 'many-to-many' model refers to the plural number of artists corresponding to the plural number of agency teams and publicity teams with different responsibilities at the same time.

The biggest feature of this model is that the work of the artist and the agency team is divided into very detailed and professional modules.

Whether the artist's requirements are movies, television, endorsements, daily ...... , the brokerage company has a corresponding team that can provide corresponding services for it.

In this mode, perhaps the artist will cooperate slightly closer with a certain aspect of the company's brokerage team because he specializes in a certain field, but there will definitely not be a situation like Wang Jinghua left HY Orange Sky N years ago and took away half of HY in one go.

Even if Molong Media's agency department provides the best all-round service for its artists, no matter what kind of artist it is, in the final analysis, it is just an ordinary person.

As long as you are a human being, you don't like to have a emperor on your head and use all kinds of rules and regulations to restrict your actions.

Speaking of which, Molong Media's brokerage department is quite kind.

Unlike other industries, as an artist who has just signed a contract, the first thing the agency does is to hit the artist's self-confidence.

"Don't think that you can be proud if you look good, people like you in this industry can grab a lot of it. ”

"Don't always mention this and that to me, do you have this qualification now? ”

"Can you pay attention to your usual walking, be mental, but you are an artist, don't always use the standards of passers-by to demand yourself. ”

Why?

Of course, it's for ease of management.

This is the Celestial Empire's artist management model - paternalistic management.

Under this management model, the artist is an employee, and the employee works for the company, and the company's interests are the main thing.

This model is most typical of Hong Kong's TVB.

Heavy workload and low income are the common state of wireless artists.

Even if we often see an actor appearing in various dramas produced by TVB, in fact, his salary for a single episode is likely not high at all, and they may even be just employees with a fixed salary under a labor contract......

Although many stars have also been born in this model, it is clear that when more competitors appear, TVB's model has gradually declined.

As a time-traveler with memories of his past life, Li Mo certainly can't use TVB's management style of the last century in his own company, but this does not mean that he will give up part of the benefits that Molong Media deserves.

After all, a brokerage company and a broker are completely different in nature.

The agent is only responsible for the specific work of the artist, such as finding announcements, appearing on shows, filming film and television dramas, receiving endorsements, etc......

In this process, although the agent also has to pay labor, compared with the brokerage company to spend a lot of money to build, package artists, and even pay special training, the investment cost of the agent is almost negligible.

For a brokerage company, just two or three years, or even four or five years, may not even be enough to build an artist's professional skills.

The contract has not been signed for a long time, how can the agency recover the investment in the artist?

This is also the reason why many artist management companies will ask for such a high compensation for breach of contract when faced with the artist's request for termination.

Among the artists under Molong Media, according to the signing time, the shortest time is Liu Yifei, whose brokerage contract is only five years.

The longest are Fat Di, Gu Limena and Zhang Tianai.

Their contracts are for eight years.

Don't think that eight years is a long time, compared to the fifteen-year deed of sale signed between Fat Di and Jiaxing World in his previous life, Molong Media is already very kind.

After all, among the three of them, the eldest Zhang Tianai is only 22 years old this year, and he will only be 30 years old in eight years......

But if Gulmeina's current brokerage contract is doubled, it will be sixteen years.

Considering the route Gulimena will take in the future......

A 36-year-old actress who acts as a murderer?

Hehe......

If there are no accidents, Gulmena will wait until the end of the contract and basically do not have to go anywhere......

"Mina, it may be a little inappropriate, but I still want you to be honest with me as to why you made such a request?"

Looking at Gu Limena, who was sitting opposite, cramped and uneasy, Li Mo took a sip of saliva and continued to ask, "You should know what it means if I agree to your request." ”

Although from the company's point of view, it is natural to hope that its artists will sign contracts for as long as possible, but in Li Mo's planning, Molong Media's artist management is more of a means of maintenance......

Gu Limena only took the plane back to Western Xinjiang this morning, and in less than 12 hours, she actually flew back again, and her parents arrived on the same plane.

If only it were usual.

At such a time of family reunion as the Spring Festival, in a place like Western Xinjiang where the folk customs are conservative, if there is no special reason for this, I am afraid that people who know a little bit about the inside story will not believe it.

Since the crossing, in addition to Zong Shuai, the life trajectories of Fat Di and Gu Limena can be regarded as the most interfered and influenced by Li Mo......

Although it seems that it is unlikely that Gu Limena will become a 'scumbag magnet' like in her previous life, Li Mo still wants to know the reason.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Gu Limena finally decided to tell Li Mo the truth.

This is not only because her request must be approved by Li Mo, but also because in Gu Limena's subconscious, Li Mo has become an omnipotent figure......

“…… Senior, here's how it happened......"
