Chapter 111: Mutual Choice, Mutual Compromise
β¦β¦
Everyone has their own aura.
People with similar auras will be able to talk more smoothly, while if their auras are very different, the stronger party will master the rhythm of the conversation, and the other party will feel aggrieved.
People who have studied negotiation and debate have studied this aspect, such as the female agent surnamed Chen who called before, should be a master in this, she uses a skinless and faceless tactic to try to control the rhythm of the conversation......
And then half failed.
Liu Meng didn't deliberately do this, but his aura and compulsion naturally made it easy to create a ...... Field.
And then it failed.
At this moment, the two of them were walking in the exhibition room on the second floor, and the conversation had become normal.
ββ¦β¦ I really didn't expect it to be you. Cao Yifang and Liu Meng walked upstairs in the exhibition room, chatting in a low voice: "I have heard of your studio Mr. Liu, and it is doing a great job. β
"Didn't you really expect that?" Liu Meng looked at him with a smile: "I thought you would call and ask my aunt." β
"Aunt?" Cao Fang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he hesitated: "You...... You and Mr. Liu Yuzhuo are relatives?"
Liu Meng watched the subtle change in expression on his face, his eyes narrowed, and then he smiled and continued to walk: "Yes, it was my aunt who strongly recommended you, and I rushed back from the capital on purpose, just to see ...... There's something special about you, kid. β
Cao Fang hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up.
He saw Liu Meng's expression, and secretly worried in his heart, afraid that he would be betrayed by Liu Yuzhuo's grandmother......
Liu Meng was also thinking in his heart.
This kid's acting skills are really good......
In order to make it more convenient to talk, Liu Meng took him to wander around the least crowded exhibition room on the second floor, where the light was a little dimmer than downstairs, and the exhibits here were not cultural relics, and they were directly displayed outside.
There is also a reason why there are few people in this exhibition room...... The glass artworks in this room are all kinds of glassware, from rice bowls to spittoons, and there is nothing to see.
The two chatted a few words without being salty, Cao Yifang remembered what Liu Yuzhuo said, and didn't make much of a fuss, but just expressed his admiration for Liu Meng's acting skills a little, and cared about the news that he had depression at the beginning.
Liu Mengde's depression is not a matter of privacy, and he himself generously said that he was fine.
He also said something a little scary.
"Half of the actors I know have had some degree of depression, so it's not a big deal. β
Hearing this, Cao Fang was a little worried about himself.
Later, they stopped in front of a huge glass faucet, and the conversation finally got to the point.
"I'm a very direct person, don't mind. Liu Meng put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and said with a smile: "Actually, when we meet, we choose each other, not who unilaterally chooses whom, right?"
Cao Fang smiled and bowed, not much.
The light is dim and the furnishings are strange, but this place is really not suitable for serious business.
"I kept in touch with my aunt a lot, and she talked about you several times, giving me a chance to meet with you, and it would be better to sign you in my studio. Liu Meng was very polite, and kept staring at Cao Fang when he spoke: "But I don't believe in her eyes very much, I believe in my own ...... I didn't plan to sign you, my studio generally only signs pure newcomers, it's good that you have your own fame now, but the requirements must be high. β
After saying that, he grinned and laughed silently.
Liu Meng's eye sockets are very deep, and the faint wrinkles on his face appear when he smiles, and the whole person exudes a certain unique charm, a bit of yuppie style.
Cao Fangfang understood and was a little surprised. After he knew the identity of the other party, he understood that Liu Meng met him with a tentative idea, and he thought that Liu Meng might have some problems to test his ability.
But as soon as he said this, it was clear that he had already decided to sign himself.
"I thought ......" Cao Fang also smiled: "You won't decide to sign me so soon." β
Liu Meng had a lot of facial expressions, and he reacted all the time, and when he heard this, he frowned and thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I signed someone...... Let's look at it and feel more. Before, I had an explicit standard, that is, the person I want to sign, the personal style is strong, you ......" Speaking of this, he pretended to look Cao Yifang up and down with disgust.
Cao Fang lowered his head and smiled, but did not speak, and said with expectant eyes that he was waiting for the following.
"I watched a few episodes of Fairy Sword, a newcomer who just graduated, has such superb acting skills...... I was surprised. Liu Meng not only walks rhythmically, but also speaks in a low tone, which is a little unaccustomed to ordinary people at first glance: "But good acting skills do not mean commerciality, I am now a businessman, signing newcomers like Qin Xiaoni and Luo Li, although the acting path is single, but the style is strong, and it is easy to label...... You don't have a strong personal style, but I see a strong dramatic tension in you. β
He didn't seem to know how to phrase it, and he pondered for a while before continuing: "This kind of tension is innate, very rare, and you can't contain it in your life, which is a particularly precious quality of an actor...... And I asked you here to see if you are an actor with content...... Glad you are, I was impressed by your earlier answer. β
Isn't that profound?
That artwork, that sentence, Cao Fang thought about it for a long time yesterday.
Now he also understood, listening to this buddy's speech is very tiring, to sum up, the general meaning is that signing those two people is for commercial considerations, signing his words is Wen Qing's illness, as if he didn't take into account his current popularity at all.
It is estimated that Chen Jin also likes his dramatic tension?
"Okay, since it's a mutual choice, you think I'm still ......" Cao Fang looked up and smiled: "Then I also have some questions...... Well, there are still requirements, I would like to discuss them with you. β
Liu Meng raised his hand and showed a smile that he thought was very kind: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." β
"I'll ask you a few questions, one by one. β
The signing of the contract is a big deal, and Cao Yifang has also begun to sharpen.
"The contract period, I hope it is signed every two years, can you accept this?"
Because it was the most important question, Cao Yifang asked it first, and then he was a little worried in his heart, after all, none of the companies he contacted before agreed to such a short contract period.
Sure enough, Liu Meng also frowned, but after thinking about it for a moment, he nodded slightly: "Yes." β
Cao Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
"That'...... I don't want to be on too many variety shows in the future, and I don't want to hype up scandals, do you agree with these two points?"
Liu Meng frowned again, and then he held his forehead and laughed: "I can agree, but I think you will regret it yourself in the future...... It's okay, if you regret it then, just tell me. "Fortunately, Cao Fangfang said that he would not be on variety shows, not on them, as for hyping up scandals and the like...... Artists should be commercial, sometimes it is necessary to hype appropriately, and scandals are one of the lowest ways to create topics.
He felt that Cao Fangfang was too naΓ―ve now, and he wanted to be a clear stream completely, where was it so easy?
Cao Fang didn't mind the second half of his sentence, he believed that even if he didn't hype up the scandal, he would not lack commerciality.
Besides, it's not that there are no other topics to stir up.
"Regarding the dramas that will be filmed in the future, I hope to have a certain choice......"
Liu Meng made a pause gesture, and Cao Fang didn't say any more.
"You, you ......" I saw Liu Meng say with a helpless expression: "You said you don't want to be on too many variety shows, I agree; You said you don't stir up scandals, I agree; these don't matter, but you have just made your debut, and you have just gained popularity, you have to start picking scripts and picking enough high-quality roles, then you have to wait, consume? Can you afford it, can the studio afford it?...... Little brother, you're going too far, aren't you?"
Liu Meng's body language is also very rich, and he gestured with his hands to emphasize his words: "Everyone has to live and support their families, not to mention why you can get a good script now...... Let's just say that my studio has to make money...... You also have to make money, if you sign a contract with my studio, don't talk any, first shoot a few TV series for me, make some money for the studio, and make some money yourself, and consolidate your fame by the way, this ......"
He snapped his fingers: "It's a top priority!"
As soon as Liu Meng was in a hurry, a wave of gangsterism came out on his body.
