30. New Company
Because he didn't know the depth of the reality show before, Zhou Huai deliberately spent 12 points of energy this time to investigate the economic company that came to negotiate the signing. This company was formerly known as Haina Baichuan Culture Media Star Brokerage Company, founded in 2002, and was once on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management, and was merged by a company at the end of last year and renamed Baina Culture Media Brokerage Company.
The scale of the company is not large, because some time ago it was on the verge of bankruptcy, almost all of its artists jumped ship and jumped clean, and now the new boss wants to absorb newcomers after taking over, and throws an olive branch to many artists, Zhou Huai is one of them.
When Zhou Huai met with the director of this company, his injury was not healed, and he wore gauze on his head and a peaked cap to go to the appointment. Baina's director's surname is Shen Mingjia, and she is a sexy and charming beauty in her early thirties. is completely different from the image of the arrogant and domineering artist director in his impression, this Director Shen's attitude is so good that Zhou Huai has the illusion that the other party is here to sell insurance to himself.
However, a good attitude is a good attitude, and when it comes to the relevant terms of the contract, Shen Jia's professionalism is fully reflected, with clear thinking and clear organization.
Zhou Huai is open-minded by nature and does not have too high requirements for the terms of the contract, and although the other party has a rigorous attitude, the actual terms are not strict, so he did not care too much, and only said that he would go back and consider it carefully.
After careful consideration and inquiring about the details of the company from people familiar with the doorway in the circle, Zhou Huai signed a 5-year brokerage contract with the other party. And because the company does not have many existing employees, and there are almost no artists, Shen Jia, the director who negotiated the contract with him, directly served as his agent.
I have to say that the agent of the new company is simply the conscience of the industry, and after Zhou Huai signed the contract, he did not take advantage of his popularity to take on a few fan movies to make quick money, or as a cash cow to accept endorsements, but first helped him deal with the previous messy old accounts. Zhou Huai's debut time is short, and the messy old accounts are nothing more than one: the reality show was hacked.
On this day, Zhou Huai was sitting on the sofa picking out a notebook, and Shen Jia walked in while twisting his thin waist and making a phone call. After seeing Zhou Huai, he squinted at him and said hello, but the instructions in his mouth did not stop.
"Yes, it's a little more expensive."
"According to what I said before, posts in Haijiao, Weibo, and cat areas must be in place."
"Money is not a problem, I told you in advance, don't give me any mess and quality, let them go away, don't make a sailor like Zheng Shutong and even run to the wrong place, making people laugh."
“……”
When Shen Jia hung up the phone, Zhou Huai asked curiously: "Sister Shen, why are you buying a navy?" ”
"What do you say, wash your name!" Shen Jia had an unteachable expression.
Zhou Huai sat up slightly straight, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly: "Is it necessary?" ”
Shen Jia's thin lips with bright red lipstick curled: "You are all blackened into charcoal now, how can you wash it white without using the water army." When you are the protagonist of a martial arts drama, God does not reward you for your diligence, but rewards you! ”
"This is the trend in the circle now, and there is no way to do it," her slender white fingers crackled on the mobile phone screen for a while, and then looked up at Zhou Huai and said, "Leave this matter to me, don't worry!" Sister Shen can't do anything else, public relations is definitely the number one. ”
Referring to public relations, Zhou Huai suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, I heard that Sister Shen has been rolling stones before, how did you think of jumping to Baina?" ”
Rolling Stone is the second largest entertainment economy company in the circle after Huacani, although it is said that the tree moves the dead and the people live, but from a top company in the industry to a company that is about to go bankrupt, how to look at how abnormal.
"Uh......" Shen Jia, who has always been a queen, said a rare first speech, and only squeezed out a few words after a while: "Because...... The salary is high! ”
"Didn't you say that the company was about to go out of business, how could you pay such a high salary?" Zhou Huai looked serious.
"That...... That's the case, although the company was once on the verge of bankruptcy, but then it was taken over, our new BOSS has a lot of money, and is committed to building the company into a first-class economic film and television company in China, so it is a high salary to seek talents! Shen Jiagan laughed twice and hurriedly changed the topic: "Oh, it's been a busy morning, I'm really tired, why hasn't the meal ordered by Xiao Wang been delivered yet!" Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang! ”
Although Zhou Huai was still a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions when he saw Shen Jia get up to urge takeout.
After a while, Xiao Wang walked in with takeaways, stewed pork ribs, kung pao chicken, pork slices, crystal shrimp...... A table was full. Shen Jia beckoned to Zhou Huai: "Eat first, eat first, and then read the script after eating." ”
Zhou Huai has signed a contract with Baina for more than a month, and it turns out that he has never signed a contract with a brokerage company, in addition to not thinking about too much development in the entertainment industry, more importantly, there are too many rules of the brokerage company. For example, economic exploitation, such as strictly prohibiting private love, such as the need for etiquette training, and even the maintenance of the body, etc., there are strict requirements. Because of the needs of work, the already thin stars still need to strictly control their diet, just to look better on camera, many artists Zhou Huai knows have been asked by the company to diet, and every meal is clear soup and little water, and even only meal replacement.
However, since he signed a contract with Baina, the company not only did not require him to control his diet, but even changed the way he ate every meal, which made him a little panicked, thinking that it was because he was hacked too strictly, and the company had decided to give up on him.
After a few days of puzzlement, Zhou Huai finally asked Shen Jia, "Sister Shen, don't I need to go on a diet?" After all, my next play is a down-and-out scholar. ”
"Oh, you said that the down-and-out scholar's play, the company has rejected it considering that it does not meet your image positioning."
"Pushed it off?!" Zhou Huai was stunned.
"yes, so don't worry, come on, come on, eat quickly, you see you're too skinny!" said that he served a bowl of soup to Zhou Huai: "This soup is not bad." ”
Zhou Huai was silent for a moment, although he was a little unhappy because the company pushed the script away without permission, but he didn't say anything, after all, it is the company's right to choose the script.
Shen Jia saw that Zhou Huai was no longer silent, and knew that he was a little displeased that the script was pushed away, so he smiled: "I have also read the previous book, although the script is very deep, but the character image is up for discussion, you are now in an eventful time, it is best not to touch controversial characters first." Don't worry.,There's a good book for you to pay attention to.,I can count on you to be my cash cow! ”
I have to say that Shen Jia's public relations skills are really not blown, I don't know what means she used, Zhou Huai's reputation on the Internet has improved a lot, and she did help him pay attention to a lot of good books as promised to Zhou Huai before. Not only that, because Zhou Huai is not from a professional class, and acting is all based on talent, she also specially tailored a special training course for him on lines and acting skills.
After a long time, Zhou Huai found that Shen Jia was actually a very good talker, although he looked like a cool queen, but in fact, he was like a little girl. And Shen Jia seems to have a lot of grievances with Hua Gai, and the artists who mentioned Hua Gai several times were all disdainful, but Zhou Huai could understand it, after all, she had been working in Rolling Stone for many years, and Rolling Stone and Hua Gai had never dealt with each other.
The only exception is Gu Pei.
At that time, Zhou Huai was studying the script that Shen Jia chose for him, Shen Jia went out to answer the phone, and when he came back, he chatted with Zhou Huai about a sentence. After chatting for a while, she suddenly asked, "By the way, are you familiar with Gu Pei?" ”
"It's not cooked, I've eaten a few meals, and we've recorded a show together before, it's that reality show."
"Oh," Shen Jia responded: "I've seen that, but I don't think you interact much in the show." ”
"Reality shows have scripts, and there are not many interactions in our scripts, and some interactions were cut out a lot when they were broadcast." Zhou Huai was a little puzzled: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask Gu Pei?" ”
"It's nothing," Shen Jia smiled: "He's handsome, I'll just ask." ”
Later, Shen Jia also asked Zhou Huai about his relationship with Gu Pei from time to time, and Zhou Huai also felt strange at first, but he soon left this matter behind, because a bigger change occurred - the unedited version of the reality show he participated in before was leaked for some reason.
