Chapter 244: The clouds open and see the moon
In the entertainment industry, it is common for celebrities to be hidden or banned, Andy Lau, Tang Wei, Chen Peisi, etc. have similar experiences.
And because of the delay in renewing the contract, Lin Xiaoguang, who was hidden by Hairun for two months, once again experienced the dilemma of having no drama to film.
So far, Lin Xiaoguang has not taken over the drama for two months, as a professional actor, if there is no filming, naturally there will be no income, thinking about it, Lin Xiaoguang is unwilling to sit still and wait, after all, his contract with Hairun Film and Television will expire in ten months.
has been wasted for two months, and if it continues to be wasted for another ten months, the loss will be not only money, but also Lin Xiaoguang's time.
After Lin Xiaoguang sought his agent Li Meifang to resume work several times but was not responded, Lin Xiaoguang decided to have a face-to-face interview and communication with Chang Jihong, the general manager of Hairun Film and Television Group, intending to break up with a peace agreement.
Looking at the entertainment industry across the Taiwan Strait and three places, almost every film and television company will have one or more "gold medal agents", for example, Huayi Brothers has Sister Hua Wang Jinghua, Hong Kong has Huo Wenxi of Emperor Entertainment, and Taiwan has Chai Zhiping, who is popular F4.
As for a top film and television group like Hairun Film and Television, it is natural that it will also have its gold medal agent, she is Chang Jihong, who holds the popular Sun Li, Jiang Wenli, Liu Ye and other actors in one hand.
This Chang Jihong is not only Hairun's gold agent, but also the general manager personally appointed by Liu Yanming, president of Hairun Film and Television, Lin Xiaoguang's agent Li Meifang, used to be a little assistant by her side, and Li Meifang was also promoted by Chang Jihong to be able to convert from an assistant to a star agent.
Although Wang Jinghua is the first agent in the mainland, Chang Jihong is definitely not a vegetarian, she and Hao Wei, Wang Jinghua, and Li Xiaowan are called the "four major brokers in Beijing" in the circle.
Generally speaking, people in the circle should respect Chang Jihong and call him "Mr. Chang", and those who are familiar with him are called "Sister Chang".
These two titles, one cold and one hot, just represent the two sides of Chang Jihong's character.
She often has a smile on her face, and she has a little bit of an air of non-anger and self-authority.
Lin Xiaoguang was not familiar with her, and he was not well-known before, and he was not embarrassed to lick his face and pretend to be familiar with her Sister Chang, and when he met her in the company, he simply called her Mr. Chang.
After looking for Li Meifang to resume work to no avail, Lin Xiaoguang rushed straight to Chang Jihong's office, and the receptionist couldn't stop him.
In the general manager's office, Chang Jihong was working at the desk, and when he came in, he only raised his head, as if he didn't see it.
In fact, Chang Jihong has been waiting for this day for a long time.
She had already guessed that a young man like Lin Xiaoguang, after a few months of hiding, would definitely not be able to hold back and automatically come to the door to seek negotiations.
"Mr. Chang, I've been looking for you for many days, can you give me a chance to communicate?"
"Don't call me Mr. Chang, it sounds like a stranger. You can just call me Sister Chang. ”
All of a sudden, the relationship was brought closer.
Lin Xiaoguang vaguely remembered that the first few times she called her Mr. Chang, she was always by default.
"Sister Chang, if you say something, I have a good heart. ”
"Xiaoguang, the company has cultivated you so hard in the past few years, and now that your wings are hard, you want to spread your wings and fly high?" Chang Jihong looked businesslike.
Lin Xiaoguang looked at the face that was neither yin nor yang nor lukewarm, and he was really a little helpless.
"Sister Chang, let's open the skylight and say something bright, the company's good resources in the past few years, I haven't caught up with any of them, even so, I haven't said that I won't renew the contract, but I haven't decided yet, is it that the company is hiding me like this now, is the company cultivating me with heart?" Lin Xiaoguang told the truth.
Chang Jihong looked up again, put down the pen, and suddenly said: "People die for money, birds die for food, you don't understand this truth? The company signed you back then, and was also optimistic about your potential, so it will give you a five-year long contract, in recent years, you have used the company's platform to start your own popularity, and the company has also used you to create profit value, which is a normal business, and now you are finally popular, which company is willing to let you go like this? This head-killing business is done, and no one does the money-losing business. ”
Chang Jihong's words are indeed her true thoughts in her heart.
In Chang Jihong's view, Lin Xiaoguang is a cash cow, Hairun is naturally reluctant to terminate the contract with him, since Lin Xiaoguang signed to Hairun a few years ago, Hairun has adopted a "free-range" "cultivation" model for him, Hairun's top resources are all given to Chen Kun and Lu Yi, Lin Xiaoguang has almost never participated in the protagonist drama of Hairun Film and Television, and almost all the scenes he took are hodgepodge works of other companies, and Lin Xiaoguang filming, advertising, TV, Variety shows and other pieces that can directly see the income have always been Hairun is in charge, for such a cash cow that does not have to spend money at all, but only makes money for himself, who wants to throw it away?
In addition, "Returning the Pearl 3" starring Lin Xiaoguang has recently ranked first in the national ratings, and in the days to come, Lin Xiaoguang, a cash cow, will only grow taller and stronger.
Of course, Hairun Film and Television is not an underworld that buys and sells, Chang Jihong just wants to start a tug-of-war with him for a period of time to see who will admit it first.
Obviously, Lin Xiaoguang was unwilling to give in, but he also did not refuse to fight.
There are still ten months left in this tug-of-war.
If Lin Xiaoguang does not renew his contract with Hairun within ten months, and Hairun has been hiding Lin Xiaoguang, such a lose-lose result will not benefit anyone.
If Lin Xiaoguang renews his contract with Hairun ten months later, it will naturally be Hairun who wins this tug-of-war.
However, if he renews the contract with Hairun, in the next few years, Lin Xiaoguang's movie dream will definitely be completely ruined.
In the final analysis, there is only one reason why Lin Xiaoguang is reluctant to renew Hairun's contract, that is, Hairun does not have the ability to provide film resources.
"Xiaoguang, in fact, if you sign the renewal contract now, the company can also make you as successful as Lu Yi is now. ”
"I'm sorry, what's the ......" During the entire negotiation, this was the only time Lin Xiaoguang interrupted Chang Jihong.
To be honest, Lin Xiaoguang knows how successful Lu Yi is, but Lu Yi's success is also in the TV series, as for the movie, Lu Yi can be said to have made no achievements and completely handed over the blank papers.
Lin Xiaoguang adjusted his original lazy and crooked sitting posture, looked at Chang Jihong upright and slightly leaned forward, and was about to say the next words.
Perhaps this comparison touched Lin Xiaoguang's stinky and hard self-esteem, or he was already tired of being positioned and priced under this standard system that he did not agree with.
At the moment when Chang Jihong was interrupted, Lin Xiaoguang was even more convinced of his choice.
So, Lin Xiaoguang didn't raise the speed and decibel of his speech, but began to express it most clearly: "Sister Chang, business is not benevolent, if you really let me make a decision today, I still won't renew the contract." I don't know what you just said like Lu Yi, how successful he is in your opinion, but I don't envy him at all, I have made dozens of TV series in the past few years, there are tricks, supporting roles, villains, and protagonists, but I have only made one movie, I have told myself more than once that I want to make a movie, even if it is from scratch, I am willing, but unfortunately...... Hairun can't give me a little bit of movie resources. ”
"And if I sign a contract with other film and television companies in the next five years, although I will still shoot TV series, at least I can have more possibilities to get in touch with the film industry. Maybe when the time comes, I won't make much money, and I won't be very famous, but I know too well and enjoy being able to do what I like freely, that kind of spiritual pleasure and inner abundance, this is what I want, I don't want to say that I am too deep and look like B, but this is really what I want. Sister Chang, not everyone is the same, at least not me. ”
Chang Jihong reacted for a moment, and said softly and plainly: "Well, of course, everyone's values are different. ”
Lin Xiaoguang didn't extend it anymore, he took it as a stop to the topic, Lin Xiaoguang knew that she was actually a delicate person.
Obviously, in this tug-of-war to the end, there is no one who loses and who wins.
Chang Jihong's original intention was not to hide Lin Xiaoguang, but to teach him a lesson, so that he would bow his head and finally choose to renew the contract, and create more profits and value for Hairun in the future.
However, Lin Xiaoguang has already expressed his intentions, and after ten months, he will not stay in Hairun no matter what.
In this case, Chang Jihong, as the general manager of Hairun Film and Television Company, there is no need for her to hide Lin Xiaoguang anymore, while the contract between Lin Xiaoguang and Hairun has not expired, it is imperative to let Lin Xiaoguang take on more dramas and earn more money for the company.
Just a few days after the Spring Festival.
Lin Xiaoguang got the scripts of five TV series, two advertising endorsements, and three event announcements from his agent Li Meifang.
Fortunately, these jobs are all arranged after the Lantern Festival.
And Yang Jian has been busy in the major crews for a whole year, and finally has time to spend a few days of leisure time with Lin Xiaoguang.
