Chapter 20: Beginning to Rise: Stars and Actors
He Mu had vaguely heard of the name of the "Top Ten Brokers", but he couldn't tell which ten people they were.
There are thousands of celebrities of all sizes in the mainland, and there are also a large number of agents, some of whom are in full swing in their economic careers and are not inferior to ordinary celebrities, and some are only strategizing behind the scenes, willing to be a star promoter, and doing things in a low-key manner, but their strength cannot be underestimated. As a result, some media selected the top ten with the best reputation and strength from many big-name brokers, which is the so-called "Top Ten Brokers in the Mainland".
After all, He Mu is only a small person at the bottom of the entertainment industry, and he only knows a few gold medal agents with high exposure rate, among which the most famous is Wang Jinghua, who left Huayi Brothers in May this year, joined Orange Sky Entertainment, and established Orange Sky Pickup Cultural Brokerage, "Sister Hua" is not popular in the entertainment industry, and if she runs away alone, she can make Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Liang Jiahui, Liu Jialing and other more than a dozen big-name artists jump ship with her, almost hollowing out Huayi Brothers Brokerage Company, becoming an annual entertainment event, "The No. 1 Broker in the Mainland" is better than her.
In addition, Li Xiaowan, who discovered Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, and Chang Jihong, who became popular with Jiang Wenli, Liu Ye, Sun Li and others, should also be among these ten people. With He Mu's knowledge, he is limited to this, no matter how much he doesn't know, after all, he hasn't really entered this circle yet, at most he is a peripheral person.
He Mu didn't guess which god was about to be his agent, Xiao Fang told him bluntly that that person was "Datang", He Mu thought about it and said he hadn't heard of it.
Xiao Fang also understands that although Datang is the earliest batch of agents in the mainland, this person has always been very low-key, 03 was the time when his fame peaked, but he also had a mixed reputation, and at that time He Mu was still a high school student, and he was not interested in the entertainment industry, so he naturally did not pay attention to the boiling entertainment events at the beginning.
After that, Datang gradually faded out of people's sight, silently running his own brokerage company, but also in the dark, the company's profitability is not optimistic, just at this time, the ambitious and ambitious Xiao Fang invited him to serve as the director of the Tiger Wolf Artist Department, not only promised an annual salary of one million, but also promised that the company would monopolize thirty percent of the profits from the artist, and also gave him a very large autonomy to act, coupled with some previous friendships between the two, many factors contributed to Datang joining the Tiger Wolf.
When Datang walked into Xiao Fang's office, He Mu saw his agent for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be a beautiful man. Datang is in his thirties, with a medium build, short hair, a mustache, delicate eyebrows, and an elegant temperament, which makes people feel good at first sight.
He Mu bowed and called out according to the practice in the circle: "Hello Teacher Tang." β
Datang waved his hand, and Yun said lightly: "I'm not surnamed Tang, Datang is a stage name, I'm old, just call me Old Tang." β
Xiao Fang said with a smile: "Datang is from Tangshan, Xiao Muzi, you are considered fellow countrymen, since we all know each other, let's talk about cooperation, Datang starts." β
Datang and He Mu sat opposite each other, and Datang said slowly: "Can we talk casually before talking about cooperation, the more we know about you, the better we can carry out packaging publicity suitable for you, which is also conducive to our cooperation." β
"No problem." He Mu stabilized his body and listened carefully.
"Why do you want to be a star, and when did you start to have this idea?" Datang's first question.
So direct, to be honest? He Mu muttered in his heart.
Xiao Fang seemed to know He Mu's thoughts, "Tell the truth, let Teacher Datang help you prescribe the right medicine." β
Well, it's not a shame to say it.
He Mu organized the language and said: "About the third year of high school, I liked a girl at work, and I actually had a good impression of her very early, but in the third year of high school, this feeling became stronger and stronger. At that time, she was very obsessed with a Korean star, I forgot what it was called, I only remembered that it was an English name, although that Korean star was just an idol abroad that could not be seen and touched, but I still felt uncomfortable. β
He Mu saw Datang making a record in the book, and continued: "At that time, I thought, isn't it just to be a star, that Korean can be popular all over Asia, and I can be popular all over the world." Thinking about it now, it was naΓ―ve to think at that time. That's because of this naΓ―ve idea, I came to the capital alone to take the Beiying exam during the winter vacation of 04, and at that time I only knew that Lu Dao was the cradle of mainland stars, and my mother's favorite little swallow Zhao Wei came out of there. β
After a pause, He Mu continued: "Although I feel that I am very talented in acting, I didn't prepare at all at that time, and my eyes were black during the exam, so I naturally didn't pass the exam." After the failure, I stubbornly refused to go back to school, and I always felt that it was too embarrassing to go back like this, so I squatted at the gate of Beijing Film Studio for a few months, and acted for a few months, that is, these few months, made me have a feeling of envy for those actors who filmed, what I envy is not their glamorous side under the spotlight, but that they can interpret a hundred kinds of life in front of the camera, I like this feeling. β
"At that time, I wanted to be an actor, when I was a child, I wanted to be a writer or a painter, but at that time I wanted to act, so after the college entrance examination, I came back here and signed up for the acting class to prepare for the exam, but in the end I still didn't take the exam, and only passed the first and second exams." He Mu didn't say that he didn't pass the three exams for Lu, and if he didn't pass the exam, he didn't pass the exam, and it was useless to say more, "After failing the second art exam, I went south to do a group performance, from Xiangshan to Hengdian, until I returned to Beijing two months ago and starred in an online short film." β
"Do you still have feelings for that girl?" Datang is still concerned about He Mu's emotional problems.
"I can't tell," He Mu shook his head, "She went to school at Beijing University of Science and Technology. I haven't been looking for her during that time. β
Datang thought about it and didn't delve into He Mu's emotional problems, he changed the topic again, "You just said that you want to be an actor, not a star, right?" You understand the difference between an actor and a star I'm talking about here, right? β
"I know what you mean, I want to be an actor in the limelight, not a meteor, what I like is acting." He Mu thought about it and said.
"It's difficult, actors are lonely, stars are eye-catching," Datang muttered, "but it doesn't matter, it's just a dream of yours, don't take it too seriously." My ability can only help you become a star at most, if you want to become a star actor or star artist, it depends on your talent and hard work, others can't help you, you won't be too me. β
"Of course not, I also agree with you, any achievement is inseparable from your own efforts." He Mu said.
Datang closed the notebook, and he was very satisfied with He Mu's answer, but whether he was consistent or not depends on the test of time, "Let's talk about the content of the contract." Datang took a piece of paper from Xiao Fang's hand......
