Chapter 52: Rational Rejection
"Little Song...... Who is this?" Xu Ru came out of the house and asked suspiciously.
"It's Mr. Lin, the agent of Nancheng Film and Television," Xu Changge introduced with a smile: "This is my sister Xu Ru." β
Lin Chen got up and greeted, "Miss Xu, hello." β
"Hello. Xu Ru glanced at him with a smile, and the agent ...... Then it's time to go together, "You talk first, I'll go prepare dinner." β
Xu Changge poured Lin Chen a glass of boiling water and asked, "Is there something your company is looking for me?"
"It's very presumptuous," now that Xu Changge had been found, Lin Chen was no longer impatient, and asked with a smile: "I saw your wonderful performance in "Street Fighting" the day before yesterday, so I came to you in a hurry...... Excuse me. β
"No, I've been pretty quiet lately. Xu Changge responded with a smile.
"That's the case, it's a shame to ask, have you already signed a brokerage company at this time?" When Lin Chen asked this sentence, he even held his breath, and his heart beat irrepressibly.
"Nope. Xu Changge replied.
got a negative answer, and a wave of ecstasy surged into Lin Chen's heart!
No...... Sure enough, no!
"Then has Changge considered our Nancheng Performing Arts Agency and Entertainment Company?" Lin Chen looked at Xu Changge with burning eyes, his eyes full of hope and apprehension.
It stands to reason that a large performing arts agency doesn't need to put on such a low posture.
But Xu Changge's potential is too great! For him, whether Xu Changge can sign or not even affects whether he can turn over in the future!
He wants Xu Changge to feel the company's sincerity and attention to him.
His attitude is indeed very sincere, but for Xu Changge, this decision is not difficult.
If he wanted to choose to join the agency, he would accept it when Du Shan and his Changhe Imaging invited him before.
"I'm sorry...... I'm not thinking about joining any film and television companies at the moment. Xu Changge did not hide it and replied sincerely.
Lin Chen chuckled in his heart, but he was not discouraged, "Can you first hear about our company's conditions? We are really sincere." β
Xu Changge nodded, even though he had already made a decision in his heart, he still maintained basic respect for the other party's sincerity and persistence.
"You should be clear that the average newcomer who signs a brokerage company is five or five shares, four or six shares, but our company is willing to give you six or four shares, you six, the company four, the contract period is eight years.
This is already considered a third-tier artist standard in the industry, and the share can be changed after three years according to the development situation.
In addition, we promise that all works produced by Nancheng Film and Television will give priority to your appearance.
Within a year, we will use the film and television resources and fashion resources of Nancheng Film and Television Group to push you to the second line.
Within three years, a film and television work will be tailored for you, allowing you to play the leading role and hit the front line!
Image positioning, career development route, publicity planning, the formation of the artist team, and the endorsement ...... We will take full responsibility for everything.
You just need to put on a safe show and we'll take care of everything else......"
Xu Changge nodded secretly in his heart, the conditions they gave were indeed sincere.
For ordinary newcomers, fifty-fifty is a reasonable distribution model, and in foreign countries, it is even reversed, that is, the artist can only receive two percent of the profits, and eighty percent belongs to the brokerage company.
Because agencies have to invest a lot of money in packaging, promoting and training a newcomer, and the popularity of the artist starts to pay off when it is launched on the market.
And the other party's willingness to give himself a share of June Fourth is indeed a fancy to himself, and he is willing to negotiate to change the share after three years, which also shows his sincerity.
The eight-year contract is a little longer but more reasonable, and no one wants artists to part ways as soon as their careers take off.
The commitment of film and television resources is even more exciting, and the actor of the film and television works produced by Nancheng Film and Television is ...... Even first-line artists are eager to get it.
But...... All this is just for the average newcomer.
And he, to put it arrogantly, even if he is given the treatment of a first-line artist, he may not be moved.
"How's that...... Changge, if you have any other requests, you can make them, and we can all negotiate?" Lin Chen asked sincerely.
In fact, it is not a comfortable thing to reject a person with sincerity and good intentions.
But when it comes to future career development, Xu Changge is very rational and will not be swayed by his emotions.
"I'm sorry...... It's not that your company's conditions are bad, it's true that I'm not ready to join a brokerage company. Xu Changge responded sincerely: "Thank you for your sincerity and kindness, I'm really sorry!"
Lin Chen was inevitably a little disappointed and confused in his heart, Xu Changge didn't even mention the request again, explaining that he was really not waiting for the price to sell, but really had other plans.
Such excellent conditions...... Lin Chen couldn't figure out why the other party would refuse!
But since Xu Changge said it so clearly, his last hope was also shattered.
"It's me who should say I'm sorry, so presumptuous to disturb," Lin Chen said with a wry smile: "In that case...... Then I'll go back first. β
Xu Changge smiled and pointed to the food on the table and said with a smile: "It's all here, stay and finish eating before leaving." β
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and then smiled: "Then it's troublesome......"
Today, in order to see Xu Changge as soon as possible, I ate two steamed buns at noon to deal with it, and now I am really hungry.
What's more, Xu Changge was indeed not coy, but deliberately kept him, and Xu Ru even made three bowls of rice.
"What's the trouble with this, one more pair of chopsticks. Xu Changge said with a smile.
The meal was not sumptuous, but it was delicious, and the three of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
After the meal, Xu Ru also asked him a lot of questions about the agent, and Lin Chen patiently answered them one by one.
He also roughly understood that Xu Changge wanted her sister to be his agent.
It is also common to let your relatives serve as agents in the circle, but for a newcomer like Xu Changge with outstanding acting skills and great potential...... This has a great chance of delaying his development.
"Changge, I want to ask, why don't you plan to sign up with a brokerage company? The company's resources, connections, and promotion are very important for a newcomer. Lin Chen finally couldn't help but ask.
Xu Changge smiled and said, "Because compared to joining a brokerage company, I think it is more in line with my situation to develop independently!"
Lin Chen looked at Xu Changge in surprise, but he didn't expect the reason for his refusal to be like this.
Solo development is more in line with his situation...... Is that a bit naΓ―ve? Or is it hubris?
