Chapter 44: Supporting Role

How to do it, is a qualified agent, and how to judge an excellent or top agent, at present, there is no precise standard that can distinguish between good and bad, good and bad, in the final analysis, it has to be attributed to the unique entertainment atmosphere in China, giving free play, but it has drawn a red line for the vast majority, who can jump out of the circle, who dares to step on the line, grab more resources, who is excellent, at least for artists.

stepped on the line, not being whipped, and relying not only on ability or qualifications, but on something that cannot be put on the table, background, connections, capital, etc.

But no matter how strong the background, broad contacts, strong capital, the most core and basic of the agent is still the head of the artist, and on the other hand, how to deal with the relationship between the agent and the artist has also become one of the compulsory courses for the agent, of course, there is no domestic college to open relevant courses, words and deeds are the responsibility of the leader, but the emotional intelligence fails, and the premise of becoming an agent is naturally lost.

Even if the artist has a bad temper, he can't talk about not being able to deal with him, but the agent is different, especially the agent of the popular artist, who is kind and naturally not friendly, and can sing red faces, no one wants to be talked about behind his back, but because of the form, the agent sometimes has to play the role of difficult to speak and has a big temper, and he can't let the artist come by himself.

Different from the agent style created by Western culture, in China, the one who maintains the best relationship with the artist must be the agent, and the difference is only that the role of the leader and the dominated is different.

Just like Wang Jinghua and Chen Daoming, Chen Daoming is the leader of the relationship between the two, Wang Jinghua is the dominant, but with other artists, Wang Jinghua has transformed into the leader, but one thing is in common, and they all maintain a good relationship.

There is not much communication between Lu Yan and Li Xue, but in general, there is always less pleasant than unpleasant, this is the norm, but it is also a mode of getting along, and under this model, the master-slave relationship between the two is gradually determined.

And when it comes to the situation that conforms to one side but does not conform to the other, put it aside and talk about it later, it is the tacit understanding that the two have cultivated, which will be very long in the future, perhaps also very short, the development of the situation is the main reason, and their respective actions are the leading.

"You think about considering Yang Jiajiang, by the way, it will be my sister's contract renewal conference in a few days, if you have nothing to do, come over and have a show" was silent for a while, neither of them spoke, Li Xue thought about how to persuade him to take over one of the plays, she is more optimistic about "Young Yang Jiajiang", a joint venture with Tang Ren, and Huayi's work to test the water drama market, as for "Soldier Assault", she is reluctant to invest money, and she is even more reluctant to Lu Yan to invest time and experience, this is a human drama, Taking money to buy the creator himself without really intending to this drama is also dispensable with Huayi TV Drama Department.

"No problem" Lu Yan understands the rules of reciprocating Li Yan, when he signed the contract, Li Bing gave face, and in turn, he would put his face in order, but some problems can be put aside, and some can't be put on hold: "I don't like to shoot costume dramas, especially martial arts dramas." ”

"Why didn't you say that when you took the view?"

"Can that be the same? In fact, if you want me to say, there is no need to tie me to the works invested by the company, haven't you signed a group of newcomers recently, you can give them resources, what about me, first focus on the outside drama, if the company needs me to make a cameo, then there is no problem"

Li Xue smiled and shook her head, although Lu Yan said vaguely, she understood it, she couldn't look at it, this was a helpless thing, it was still in the stage of testing the waters, even if it was the king, there was no reason to throw a lot of tickets into the TV market.

After a long while, he said: "I've just been filming now, you take a break first, I'll bring it to you when I have a good book, but you have to star in "Yang Jiajiang", and most of the Tang people will push Huge over." ”

"Huge?" He raised his eyebrows, the name sounded familiar, but he didn't have a specific corresponding person in his mind, but since Li Xue proposed it, he definitely didn't just say it, but said it to himself, it must be for some reason, façade, co-filming, no matter the priority, all parties must have a façade to support.

Li Xue got up, took a stack of materials on the desk, handed it to him, and said: "An artist who has become popular this year is also a façade artist promoted by Tang Ren after Li Yapeng, who is two years younger than you. ”

"Oh, is it? It turned out to be him, I know, at the beginning of the year, the very hot fairy sword was played by him" He took it, glanced at her with a smile, and then went to turn it over, if you want to talk about people, he can't remember, but you can say that the work, but everything that is a little better is more or less impressed, and I saw it by chance, so I took a look at it twice, and the reason for the attention was not the film and television itself, but Liu Yifei, in a blink of an eye, the little girl has grown into a big girl.

As for Li Xue's teasing, he didn't care, the young, it's not that there are more popular than him, there have been before, and there will definitely be in the future, if you don't have this belly, find a rope and settle it yourself.

"No problem" He slapped the information on the table, a bit of a whim, he has been working with either a group of old guys, or young people who are not well-known, he really wants to see the difference with his peers, and at the end, he said: "No need for a man and a man, the villain role is the best, I want to try it." ”

For the Yang family's play, he doesn't have much expectations, and he is not ready to invest too much energy, purely as a relaxation with nothing to do, but also to recuperate, because he doesn't have expectations, so he doesn't care where he will be ranked at the curtain call, it can be regarded as a willful hand, after all, there are not many opportunities like this.

The relaxation on Li Xue's face that had just been born condensed, and she changed her tone very slowly, she always felt that Lu Yan had changed a lot since she came back from Zhenguan, in the past, no matter how she behaved, it was always surprising that she was calm and unsuitable for her age, but now, that calmness is still there, but it is very easy to feel the confidence he exudes from the inside out.

She was curious about what he had experienced in the past six months, where the source of his confidence or arrogance was, in her opinion, the passing of the two major award ceremonies was definitely a big blow to him, but judging from his current state, it was like a trophy on his bedside table.

It's just that the straightforward question seems abrupt again, turns a corner, and says: "There is not much time this year, so I won't talk about it, tell me about your plans in the future, and I can make the next arrangements." ”

Lu Yan sighed "hmm" and said: "It's really fast, except for Zhenguan this year, I haven't done much, and I took your 20 million for nothing, put my heart in my stomach, I will definitely not let you lose money next year, I am ready to take three or four books, brush my face first, and come up with one or two wonderful works the year after tomorrow." ”

The year after tomorrow is 07 years, and it is also the next Feitian Awards year, the fierceness of the Magnolia competition he has no score in his own heart, in contrast, it is better to fight for Feitian, as for the Golden Eagle, it is not within his scope of consideration, it can be obtained, although it is gratifying, it is not a pity to get it, there is nothing to regret, the water in it is too deep, wait for a few years, boil out the qualifications, reach a certain status, and then come up with a ** not far from the ten almost blocked some people's mouths works, it is a matter of course.

At the end, he remembered something again, and said: "By the way, you give me all the books handed to you, and I will pick them myself", he didn't believe her vision, and the starting point of the two was also different, his goal was to go to the trophy, and Li Xue's goal was to go to the maximum benefit, although the final result was almost the same, but there was a certain deviation in the means of achievement.

In the past few months, the adjectives that the media have dubbed him are mostly "popular students", which is a compliment on one side, but on the other hand, it cannot but be said that it is a kind of inflammatory, because in the recent past, he is not "popular".

Li Yapeng, Hu Pong, and Lu Yi have all been called the same name, but now, they are all silent, he doesn't like the term "popular", what he wants to achieve is that whenever the media wants to list the new generation of artists or actors of the same age, he will not be the one who is thrown into the corner, and commercial dramas obviously do not meet this standard.

"Okay" Li Xue blinked, the more plays Lu Yan receives, the correspondingly, the less the company loses, as for what else he thinks, she didn't think about it so much, in her opinion, Lu Yan currently has a certain commercial value, but it has not been completely excavated, and screen bombing is a plan that is less likely to cause the audience to plan than public opinion bombing, the blind cat can still break into the dead mouse, who can say that there is no windfall, she will give him the choice, but the final decision, but not to give up.

"That's okay, I'll go back first today, you can push the single"

"Let's put it first, maybe you will be interested one day" Li Xue didn't get up to see him off, he hadn't been born to that extent, although he still refused to give up, but he had an indispensable attitude, she knew that only in this way would Lu Yan not continue to sit down and analyze the pros and cons endlessly with herself, and then waste time and saliva arguing about things that would not have resulted in the first place.

"Whatever you want"

Sitting in the back seat, looking at the traffic and people outside the window, it was the rush hour after work, a little blocked, thinking about the next plan in his head, Li Xue gave a general idea, many things still need him to make his own ideas, the next two months will be mainly theater performances, and then the steel plate will be removed, and he can't push it back.

Although he doesn't have a real book in his hand now, he is not in a hurry, "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is just a matter of the past few days, judging by the current vision and level, he is a little uncertain, but on the whole, his performance in it should be regarded as brilliant.
