Chapter 540: Go in circles, baby cow!
Rejected the retention, the president Kim Young-min, and the executive director Lee Chung-in, the company.
To say that there is no regret and reluctance is a lie. Most of the artists and agents in the company have a good relationship with him, and as for the leaders of the management, they have always been very respectful of him and rely on him.
Especially in the Chinese market, he is almost the only authority in the company, from the object of cooperation to the arrangement of the itinerary date, the choice of transportation and even which hotel to stay in, he can basically make a decision and act arbitrarily.
He's the head of Smchina.
However, all this did not stop his desire to return to Seoul to live, and this was the only thing that the company was unwilling to give him.
With the idea of leaving the entertainment industry for a while, he came to the Congseonjae Tea House in Jongno (District) in a low-key manner, took over the work of Wakazakura and Zhao Minlong, and became the full-time Chinese and Korean bilingual translator of the tea house.
has been able to work in the position of agent for nine years, and Kim Min-wook is naturally quite a city person. After changing to a new environment, he is a middle-aged man who doesn't talk much, but he is just habitually smiling, whether it is to customers or colleagues.
Only in front of the wall where the signed photos of Shao Shi, Kim Hee-cheol, Lee Hong-gi and others were hung, Kim Min-wook stood silently for a long time with a straight face.
He basically knows every one of these artists, and a considerable number of them have been colleagues or even relatives with him.
They are still bravely marching on their own paths, but they themselves have shamefully become deserters halfway through......
However, what Kim Min-wook never expected was that after working at the tea house for two days, Liu Kewei came to sign an acting agency contract with him.
"Do you have an itinerary for me to discuss?"
Kim Min-wook blinked his small eyes, and his expression was confused.
Anyway, he has been a professional agent for nine years, and there is a ready-made performing arts agency contract template in the USB flash drive he carries, which can come in handy by slightly modifying some terms and sharing ratios.
However, the contract is easy to say, anyway, Liu Kewei will not have enough to support a professional agent in the short term, so there is no need to sign any long-term package agreement, one thing is the truth, and it is more fair to both parties.
But the crux of the question is, what kind of attitude should I take to talk to Party A (the crew) about this itinerary?
"What type of job, how did you get this opportunity, and did you have any special relationships with the other person before?"
Kim Min-wook threw out several questions in one go, and if he didn't figure out the antecedents, he thought that he couldn't take over the errand at all.
"A role in the movie should be a supporting role with few scenes, I don't know the specific details, you go talk to Director Gao Shijin, if you think I can do this role, then next, if you think I can't do it, then help me decline......" Liu Kewei smacked his chin and handed over the decision to Kim Min-wook.
Professional matters naturally have to be handled by professionals!
In the entertainment industry, compared to him, a quasi-outsider, Kim Min-wook is naturally the more authoritative one.
Liu Kewei is very self-aware in a certain aspect, and "employing people without suspicion, suspecting people without suspicion" is also one of the life creeds he has always pursued - for example, when he was in the studio, as a producer, he almost never interfered with Che Guanglong, 187, Ling Xingning and Liu Suifeng's own work, unless the other party took the initiative to seek his opinion.
Kim Min-wook has no objection to this, most of the Korean artists' work contracts are also handled by the agent, and only star artists with a relatively large voice will personally inquire about some important contracts - take Moon Geun-young as an example, the job of the protagonist of the movie must be his own idea, but at least it must be screened by the agency team before being handed over to her for approval;
“…… The film's producer, Yamashita Mixi, knows me well and has a good relationship, and I recommended him to the current screenwriter. If nothing else, no matter what decision you make, Brother Gong should support it to the end. As for director Gao Shizhen - to be honest, I've only seen it twice, but in the crew, Brother Mi's voice should be higher than Gao Shizhenxi. ”
Liu Kewei also knew that he couldn't let Jin Minxu run to Yangping County with a black eye, otherwise when people came to Gaoshi Town, they wouldn't even be able to figure out what kind of posture they should adopt, how could they talk about it?
So he briefly explained a few words, and revealed his relationship with Yamashita Mi, Gao Shizhen and others to Kim Min-wook.
A few days ago, on that night in the imperial capital, Kim Min-wook had heard Sunny mention that "Yoo Productions also had a good personal relationship with a certain producer of Lotte Pictures", and at that time he was still suspicious, thinking that Sunny might be deliberately exaggerating in order to encourage him to accept Yoo Kewei's invitation.
That's when he realized: it turned out that Sunny's kid was telling the truth......
Kim Min-wook pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he had confidence in his heart - in this case, even if he finds a dog to be an agent, he can win this contract if he doesn't do it, and he doesn't need me to bother with it, and I don't need to find a relationship, if I can't do this thing beautifully, then I really deserve the signboard of "nine-year professional agent"!
So, he set off very simply, took Liu Kewei's power of attorney from the tea house, and drove to Yangpyeong-gun ——. Company for nine years, and he can be regarded as a person with a car and a house in Seoul, although it is not a luxury car and a mansion.
Two or three hours later, Kim Min-wook efficiently returned to Congshanzhai and put the signed contract and the script he received in front of Liu Kewei.
The conversation with Director Gao was very pleasant, and as expected, the other party did not put on a director's style, and received his temporary agent as a "small supporting role" in person with a very kind attitude.
He has also read the script, and for this role that is not too difficult, he also agrees with Gao Shizhen's evaluation that "Liu Kewei Xi should be very suitable for this role".
So he decisively used Liu Kewei's trust and took over the trip on behalf of the other party.
As for the remuneration, there is nothing to talk about, the role is limited, Liu Kewei is not a star with box office appeal, "Parasite" is still a small-budget production, so it must not be high - that is, barely enough for travel expenses, makeup, and clothing.
In Kim Min-wook's view, it is obviously impossible for Yoo Kewei to take on this drama to make money - for him, this drama is more symbolic, meaning that a world he has never set foot in quietly opens a door for him.
Anyway, this is also a serious commercial movie!
However, contrary to Kim Min-wook's expectations, after getting the script, Liu Kewei hurriedly skimmed through the pages of printing paper, but he had a shy, annoyed and laughing expression......
- Ouch, I'll go, the guy who was going to cooperate with Hyo Min Xi in the movie "intimate scene" was actually me?
This Nima is too sudden, isn't it, brother is not mentally prepared at all!
Liu Kewei couldn't help but think of the day he went to Yangping County to visit the class, Duan Shanshan mysteriously disappeared and reappeared, and showed a weird smile at him - Uncle Duan's dead fat man knew something at that time, but he didn't say a word to me!
“…… Uncle Duan, you cheat me!"
A phone call came, regardless of the fact that the other party was still working in the studio, Liu Kewei gritted his teeth and scolded with a smile.
"You already know about the character?" Duan Shanshan on the other end of the phone walked to the fire escape with his mobile phone in his hand, and then smiled heartlessly, "Don't thank me, the main thing is that Director Gao thinks you can give it a try, and I also think he is right, so you should thank him a lot." ”
"Do you still want my brother to thank you? You obviously want to watch your brother's good show!" Liu Kewei sneered, "Go in circles, baby cow!"
