Chapter 348: Resolving the Misunderstanding
Fang Hui obviously came over in a hurry, and when she ran to Lu Chen's office, her face was flushed, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and her expression was anxious with a hint of shame.
"Lu Chen, I fired my agent!"
Lu Chen was startled, and quickly got up and said, "Sister Fang Hui, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly." ”
Fang Hui also realized that it was wrong for her to do this, nodded and sat down on the sofa.
Lu Chen made her a cup of tea.
Fang Hui was not too polite, took a sip of the teacup, and calmed down a lot.
She was really angry with her cousin.
After the Chinese New Year, Fang Hui has been filming a 10-episode indoor short drama, which is the work task she took over last year.
In this industry, credibility is very important, and no one likes to work with someone who goes back on his word.
However, the investor is still very reasonable, and the director's salary for her has increased several times compared with the original agreement, and the treatment in the crew is excellent, and she is completely held by the big names in the circle.
Including those actors, whether they are famous or not, one by one, "Director Fang" and "Director Fang" shouted enthusiastically, and their attitude was absolutely respectful, and no one dared to throw a big name in front of her.
Fang Hui has been a director for many years, and it is the first time that she has been treated with such respect and courtesy.
She knew why.
Because she Fang Hui filmed a phenomenal TV series last year, which not only broke the record in China, but also created a ratings miracle in South Korea, and became an instant hit in the circle!
Since the beginning of this year, many film and television companies and investors have come to her to ask her to direct, and the conditions of several have made her excited.
It's just that Fang Hui currently has a job in her hands, and the most important thing is that Lu Chen intends to continue to hand over the new drama to her to direct, so Fang Hui politely declined other people's invitations.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fei'er called her today, revealing that Lu Chen had a little unpleasant trouble with her agent, maybe the new drama had to find someone else to cooperate, and asked her what was going on?
Fang Hui was stunned at the time.
Her agent talked to Lu Chen's studio about the contract for the new drama, of course she knew, after all, when it comes to interests, it is better for the agent to come forward, and everyone doesn't need to be embarrassed about the salary.
But because she was busy with the finishing work of the indoor drama in the past few days, Fang Hui didn't take this into account, anyway, Lu Chen's new drama would not be launched immediately, but she never expected to wait for such a result.
Fang Hui immediately called her agent, her cousin Fang Jun, over to inquire.
Under her questioning, Fang Jun had to confide in the truth, it turned out that he had added a number of clauses to the new contract without authorization, in order to get the greatest benefit for Fang Hui.
And Lu Chen's categorical refusal was something Fang Jun didn't expect, he also wondered if this was Lu Chen's bargaining trick, and was ready to compete with Lu Chen for patience, in short, he couldn't cheapen Lu Chen for nothing.
In Fang Jun's opinion, even if he doesn't continue to cooperate with Lu Chen, Fang Hui can completely cooperate with others, and those investors who come to the door are willing to spend a lot of money, which is much more sincere than Lu Chen.
He is also thinking about Fang Hui!
After Fang Hui heard this, she couldn't wait to smack him in the face on the spot.
What is called a rat's eye, just look at her cousin, it's just stupid!
With Lu Chen's personality, he will not treat the people who follow him badly, and the primary reason why he asked Fang Hui to continue filming new dramas must be nostalgic for the old, after all, the cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant.
But this does not mean that Lu Chen will agree to some unreasonable demands, such as copyright sharing.
Fang Hui was really going to be by Fang Jun, even if it was a bargain, it was rude to make such a request in the contract, and it also made her lose face.
As for those investors who came to the door, the conditions they offered were very good, but they were actually using her current fame to hype, and the scripts provided were basically imitations of "Blue Life and Death Love".
If the screenwriter writes brilliantly, to be honest, Fang Hui feels miserable after watching many plots, and she knows that these investors usually have actor role arrangements, and they like to get a group of actors who come up with unspoken rules, and they are often eager to achieve quick success in production, and the last thing filmed is not the same as the horse's mouth.
She's a bit of a reputation now, but it's easy to ruin it.
In contrast, Lu Chen is really too reliable, Fang Hui would rather join his new drama with a low salary than compromise with others in order to make more money.
As long as there are two or three blockbuster dramas, her position in the circle is very stable, and it is easy to make money.
It's a pity that Fang Jun can't see this, he is blinded by the immediate interests, too much greed.
Fang Hui even knew that Fang Jun had close contacts with several investors.
Originally, she didn't care, after all, everyone was a little selfish, but now she couldn't tolerate it, so she decisively kicked Fang Jun away and came over to apologize to Lu Chen in person.
She won't forgive herself for missing this opportunity.
After listening to Fang Hui's sincere explanation, Lu Chen was also a little embarrassed, if he wanted to say it, he should have asked Lu Xi to sign a new contract with the other party earlier, so that he would not be in this situation.
However, it is not too late to make amends, and since the misunderstanding has been resolved, everyone can still continue to cooperate.
Fang Hui's work attitude and ability to grasp the plot are all appreciated by Lu Chen.
He said: "You don't have to kick people, I will let Lu Xi renegotiate the new contract with him." ”
It is common for brokers to make their own claims for customers, and Fang Jun is Fang Hui's cousin, although the conditions proposed are outrageous, they are also fighting for Fang Hui's interests.
Fang Hui shook her head resolutely: "It's not just this matter, you just ask Lu Xi to draw up a contract for me." ”
Her meaning is very clear, that is, she will agree to any of Lu Chen's conditions.
Lu Chen wouldn't deliberately trick her, would he?
Lu Chen really wouldn't do this, and said with a smile: "That's not good, wait until you find a new agent to talk." ”
"By the way, I made an appointment with Sister Li to go to Jingying in the afternoon, and Sister Fang Hui, you can go with you!"
Hearing these words, the big stone in Fang Hui's heart finally landed, and said with a smile: "Casting for the new drama?
It is very common for star studios to sign newcomers, and with Lu Chen's talent and strength, it is too simple to make a few newcomers popular.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I'm going to let Sister Li's company sign it, and there are good seedlings to cultivate together." ”
Fang Hui immediately understood, her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and said, "Then I might as well sign it with Sister Li!"
This is the best way, Sister Li has an outstanding reputation in the circle, Fang Hui will not suffer a loss in the past, and the relationship with Lu Chen has been narrowed, which is completely a double win.
Lu Chen was stunned, and then smiled: "Then you talk to Sister Li, let's go together." ”
He left the studio with Fang Hui and drove to the Beijing Film and Television Academy to meet Sister Li.
When the two arrived at Jingying, Sister Li was already waiting at the gate of the college with her assistant.
Seeing Fang Hui, Sister Li couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because she heard some rumors, saying that Lu Chen's new drama does not plan to cooperate with Fang Hui, and is looking for another director.
The rumors are clearly unreliable.
But after meeting and chatting a few words, knowing that Fang Hui intended to sign a contract with her own brokerage company, Sister Li understood.
She smiled: "That's really good, as long as Director Fang doesn't think our rainbow company temple is small, the conditions are easy to say!"
The rainbow brokerage company run by Sister Li is quite famous in the industry, and there are many artists signed under it, and there are several directors, but they are all small directors in the third and fourth lines.
In the entertainment industry, the status of directors of film and television dramas has always been the highest, and the directors of the first-line big names basically open their own studios, pick film and television companies or TV stations to cooperate, and will never succumb to a company like Rainbow Brokerage.
And Fang Hui was originally a second- and third-tier director, and with the drama "Blue Life and Death Love", she faintly became one of the first-line TV drama directors, which can be described as a promising future.
Her willingness to cooperate with Rainbow Broker is really a great surprise for Sister Li.
A director like Fang Hui can be the pillar of the company, and the proper operation is enough to bring Rainbow Brokerage to a higher level.
Of course, Sister Li raised her hands to welcome!――
