Chapter 239: Sister Hua
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
Hairun is also a well-known film and television group in China, and it is not Lin Xiaoguang's turn to look down on him, he just doesn't want to stand still, he just wants to change the platform and continue to move forward.
Since there was no shackle of new dramas, and there was a renewal contract in front of him, Lin Xiaoguang was not in a hurry, he simply went back to the capital directly, and he should give himself a long vacation, and he was not depressed at all after being hidden by the company.
As soon as he returned to the capital, Lin Xiaoguang contacted Huayi's agent Wang Jinghua with the help of Yang Liang.
Outsiders may not have much impression of the name "Wang Jinghua", but Lin Xiaoguang, as an actor who has been in the entertainment industry all year round, naturally has a thunderous ear for this famous "Sister Hua".
Wang Jinghua, under the recommendation of Lin Xiaoguang's girlfriend, that is, Yang Yan, an artist under Wang Jinghua, has recently begun to pay attention to Lin Xiaoguang's movements.
In the end, the two met in a Western restaurant under the guidance of Yang Yan.
Because Yang Jian still has a drama appointment on hand, he has been catching up with the film in Huairou Film and Television City recently, so he didn't come to dinner together.
Wang Jinghua came by car, and Lin Xiaoguang brought a female assistant Liang Guoer.
It is said that Wang Jinghua is the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy who is a domestic agent, and the team of agents trained from her in recent years is no less than the stars she has cultivated.
Therefore, Lin Xiaoguang came this time mainly for three purposes.
The first is to make an acquaintance with Wang Jinghua purely and worship the mountain.
Second, Lin Xiaoguang hopes that Liang Guoer will have the opportunity to learn from Wang Jinghua to see if there is any hope of transforming from an assistant to an agent, after all, this girl has been with her for so long, and she has no credit and hard work, so she can't be her assistant for the rest of her life.
The third is to discuss with Wang Jinghua whether there are opportunities for cooperation in the future.
As the dinner progressed, the two sides lost their initial restraints, and the topic of conversation gradually opened up.
"Sister Hua, my assistant Liang Guo'er, she has always admired you, if you think it is agreeable, see if you can give her some advice?"
Seeing Lin Xiaoguang worried about his future, Liang Guoer was both happy and apprehensive in her heart, and for a while, she didn't know what to say.
In fact, when she first entered the door, Wang Jinghua had noticed Liang Guoer next to Lin Xiaoguang.
To be honest, just looking at her figure and appearance, although Liang Guoer is not so eye-catching, among ordinary people, she is also in the middle and upper rank, and with a little packaging and dressing, she can still make her debut in the entertainment industry, as for whether she can be popular or not, it can only be left to fate.
Seeing Wang Jinghua looking Liang Guoer up and down with a professional gaze, Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly explained: "Sister Hua, don't get me wrong, she doesn't want to be an actress in the entertainment industry, she just wants to be a successful agent like you, so I brought her over today to let you take a look and see if it works." ”
Wang Jinghua listened to Lin Xiaoguang's words, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Xiaoguang, how can anyone who is an agent rely on watching, whether it works or not, it depends on practice." ”
"Sister Hua, I know this, I heard Xiao Tatuna say a long time ago, you are self-made, and through so many years of hard work, you have today's achievements. Lin Xiaoguang said respectfully.
"Odaki is right, I started to get involved in the brokerage industry in 1991, and many people had no ......concept of this profession at that time," Wang Jinghua said while recalling the past with Lin Xiaoguang.
In fact, when she first came out to be a broker, she only had more than 800 yuan in her pocket, no fixed office space, and carried a bag around, which was a typical "leather bag company".
She first started from the music scene, and through the introduction of acquaintances, she received a pair of singers under her hands, and in order to find opportunities for them, she wandered around various entertainment venues in Beijing all day long.
Once, she heard others say that there is an advertising company near the International Trade Center is looking for some new singers to try out the theme song of the advertising film, in order to hurry, she had to call the past, and when she got off the International Trade Center, she found that she only had more than 20 yuan left for 800 yuan, and she didn't even have the money to pay the taxi fee.
"At that time, I often didn't have money to fight, until the brother group became a little famous, and I got a commission from it, and the economic situation improved. Wang Jinghua was very lamented by the constraints of the day.
"Therefore, in the broker industry, the first thing is to know how to deal with people, and the more people you know, the more contacts you have, the business will naturally rise with the tide. ”
"I see that Guo'er has only said three words in total since they met, and if she wants to be a good broker, she is still introverted. ”
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and said: "Maybe it's because Sister Hua, your aura is too strong, it's the first time we've met, I'm embarrassed to speak, let alone Guo'er, even I feel a lot of pressure." ”
In other words, Wang Jinghua is still very optimistic about Lin Xiaoguang in her heart, an actor with such conditions as Lin Xiaoguang is definitely a grandfather's food, not only young and potential, but also several weighty film and television dramas will be broadcast one after another in the future, judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before he becomes popular.
Therefore, Wang Jinghua has a strong intention to sign a contract with Lin Xiaoguang, and she feels that Lin Xiaoguang is a malleable talent.
It's just that Wang Jinghua didn't expect that Lin Xiaoguang would be so attentive to her female assistant.
If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even if Wang Jinghua doesn't look down on Liang Guo'er, she always has to give Lin Xiaoguang a little face, right?
Wang Jinghua pondered for a moment, looked at Liang Guo'er and said softly, "Guo'er, are you really interested in being an agent?"
Liang Guoer nodded and said frankly: "Sister Hua, I understand, you may think that I am too young and introverted, but I have the confidence to change myself, if I am lucky enough to become an agent, I will take you as an example and do my best to do a good job." ”
"It's not difficult for you to be a broker, the threshold for brokers is actually very low, and it's easy for you to come in; ”
Talking about the current situation of most domestic agents, Wang Jinghua was full of emotion: "In fact, our domestic artist agency is still in a stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, there are not many experienced agents, and new ones are constantly coming in, and this industry needs time to hone and accumulate." ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Jinghua changed her words, looked at Liang Guo'er and said, "Guo'er, do you know how many agents we have in China now?"
Faced with this problem, Liang Guo'er, who didn't know anything, could only shake his head awkwardly.
"Xiaoguang, what about you? do you know?"
"There should be hundreds, right?" replied Lin Xiaoguang uncertainly.
Wang Jinghua said angrily: "You are right." ”
As Lin Xiaoguang said, the total number of celebrity brokers in the mainland is indeed only a few hundred, and China's current formal celebrity brokerage companies are mainly concentrated in the magic capital and the capital, with a total of no more than 50.
Wang Jinghua's current cooperation with Huayi Brothers is relatively large, but there are only more than 10 agents.
The total number of brokers belonging to brokerage companies, plus a small number of scattered brokers, does not exceed 1,000, and the level is uneven.
Higher-level agents like Wang Jinghua are the most in-demand agents in the market, and they often become the behind-the-scenes heroes of stars.
They are familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of celebrities, focus on the overall situation, and help artists open up a new situation in their careers, so Wang Jinghua can support whoever is popular.
"Understand art, know how to manage, rely on a wide range of social relations, with a keen sense of the market and a good business mind, 'packaging' artists, such an agent is a high-level agent, Guo'er, do you think you have these abilities?" Wang Jinghua asked earnestly.
At the end of this meal, Wang Jinghua gave Lin Xiaoguang and Liang Guoer a political lesson respectively.
However, Wang Jinghua didn't really say it to death, she also gave Liang Guoer some other suggestions, as for whether it can be done, it depends on her own creation.
And in the process of talking with Wang Jinghua, Lin Xiaoguang admired the other party's thoughts and abilities more and more, and said that in this circle, there is meat to eat with Sister Hua, this sentence is true.
That same evening.
Lin Xiaoguang received a call from Qiong Yao, who hoped that he would have time to attend the press conference of "Returning the Pearl 3" in Nanjing in three days.
The city of Nanjing, Lin Xiaoguang has long wanted to go, it just so happened that Yang Qiao has been busy recently and has no time to take care of himself, and now he happens to be hidden by the company and has resumed his status as a free man, so he took Liang Guoer on a trip that he wanted to go, and took a flight from Beijing to Nanjing.
ps. I recommend a song to all friends - "You left Nanjing, no one has talked to me since then".
