Chapter 31: The Green Years
Zhang Xiao experienced the most frustrating period of his life last month, and the actress he brought with him kicked himself away and opened his own studio as soon as he got the actress.
Of course, if she is so stupid in this circle, she can't get to her current position, she just wants to get absolute control and make herself a wage earner who only listens to her words and only does what she asks.
If Zhang Xiao agrees to this condition, he won't be called Zhang Xiao.
Usually a person who is very capable of himself is very arrogant, and the other party works in a way that almost humiliates himself, how can Zhang Xiao endure it? Immediately packed up his things and bags and left.
After two weeks in Xingcan, he was assigned to this job, and it stands to reason that Zhang Xiao himself is reluctant to bring newcomers, in his opinion, some newcomers don't know the height of the sky, thinking that they can walk sideways in the circle with a little popularity. He didn't want to wipe his ass with newcomers every day like his peers.
But when he saw Gu Wu today, he changed his mind, this girl has a clear understanding of herself, and she clearly understands the rules in the circle, and she knows the truth of giving and gaining, and not only that, Zhang Xiao saw ambition in her eyes.
In this industry, wanting to go to the front line of ambition is not a bad thing, but an indispensable "advantage" that motivates you at all times.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao coughed twice: "Miss Gu, we have already reached an agreement on these items that can be written into the contract, why don't we talk about those items that cannot be written into the contract now?" ”
Gu Wu nodded: "Mr. Zhang, to tell you the truth, I am not an artist with a particularly high resistance to pressure. It should be said that my personality is very special and not suitable for the path of a topic actress. So for over-hype, I'd definitely say no. ”
Zhang Xiao touched his lips and wondered, "Are you so sure?" ”
Gu Yu nodded very seriously
Zhang Xiaosong loosened his shoulders: "It's a common thing to hype in the circle, but since you don't like it, you can take another path." ”
Zhang Xiao is very good at hype, but he doesn't like hype. Hype is a topic that improves the degree of artists in a short period of time, but the sequelae are also very obvious.
This kind of hype can only come and go twice from time to time, and it will be bad to often make the artist's reputation worse.
Gu Wu doesn't like hype, he doesn't care about this, whether she likes it or not, whether she likes it or not, whether she wants to or not, when she enters this industry, she will understand what it is sometimes involuntarily.
Gu Wu didn't know that the other party regarded herself as a little girl who didn't know the world, and then she said: "In addition to the fact that I don't like hype accidents, I also hope that the contract will be attached to a condition, that is, the five-year newcomer contract will remain unchanged, but the company can't force me to make a showdown contract." ”
Xingcan is a comprehensive entertainment company, in addition to artist management, they also invest in the shooting of TV series and movies.
However, compared with the booming economic sector, there are not many TV series produced by Xingcan, and there are not many outstanding movies. They have so many excellent stars in their hands, and many times they are arranged in the company's own plays, one is to save actors' costs, and the other is to give actors or newcomers who can't find suitable outside dramas a chance to act.
But this kind of apportionment of the drama arrangement, if the play is good, both parties are happy, if a Tianthunder God drama is filmed, it will be embarrassing. Gu Wu has suffered too many losses in this area in her previous life, she would rather have fewer works and be fine, rather than appear in the thunder drama every day for 365 days a year, giving the audience a very LOW feeling.
Hearing Gu Wu's request, Zhang Xiao was puzzled, he looked at Gu Wu and asked, "Are you sure?" You are a newcomer, if you have a good external drama, you might as well play a female first or second female in our own drama. ”
Gu Wu took a breath: "I have already filmed three dramas last summer, including a second female directed by Li Youcheng, I believe that with my own ability, I can find good resources for external dramas." I only hope that the company can't push away the resources of the outside drama over me, and it can't give up the outside drama in order for me to shoot my own film. Of course, if the company has a good script, I also hope that I can have a fair chance to compete. ”
Zhang Xiao realized at this time that the girl sitting opposite had a lot of plans for her future, whether this kind of planning was right or not, at least she knew very well the path she was going to take, she gave up the idea of becoming famous overnight, and chose to move forward step by step.
Zhang Xiao walked into Hou Fuxiu's office, told him all the requirements of Gu Wu, and then said with a smile: "Such an impetuous entertainment industry has come to a strange place, she is like an old antique, she does not seek to become popular quickly, but seeks to go steady, it is really ............"
Hou Fuxiu put down the contract and called the secretary to come in and ask him to redraft it according to the modification.
Not long after Zhang Xiao joined the company, he didn't know much about his young boss, so he looked at him a little embarrassed and said, "Boss, you agreed?" ”
In fact, with Xingcan's position, it is impossible for a newcomer to negotiate terms with them, the original contract Zhang Xiao has studied it carefully from beginning to end, in his opinion, although Xingcan has a lot of money for newcomers, but the resources given are also the same. This kind of contract is shown to anyone, and they will not feel that Xingcan is squeezing newcomers.
But the young boss agreed to Gu Ao's request, and what is even more strange is that he is a leader, and he will worry about a newcomer's contract, which is simply too unreasonable, does this Gu Wu really have a background? But if you have a background, why sign Xingcan? If you want to use Xingcan's ability, then why doesn't the boss give a second-class contract*, but a newcomer contract?
There is always something unreasonable in Zhang Xiao's mind, but he didn't ask a word, especially the agent in this industry, what to say, what not to say what is the necessary homework. In this, Zhang Xiao has always held a perfect score.
Hou Fuxiu nodded: "It's not excessive, it's necessary for Xingcan to make so many celebrities choose to respect each other." Since she accepted the most ridiculous part of the division, what were her demands? ”
After speaking, he smiled at Zhang Xiao: "After signing the contract, you will officially become Gu Xiao's agent, and whether she develops well or not will be closely related to you, and she will be prosperous." I'm here to congratulate both of you. ”
Zhang Xiao followed the secretary of the president to leave the office before he came back to his senses, he looked at the thick solid wood double door and muttered: "No wonder Xingcan can develop to such a point, this management is really humane." ”
Secretary Xu turned around and smiled at him, "Mr. Zhang is just thinking badly, in the field of artist management, our president is good at humanization, but in terms of company management, he is the king of the system." ”
"You're smiling?!" Zhang Xiao was so frightened that he stepped back, and then he immediately reacted to how rude he was just now, and hurriedly apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry." I............ I...... I was just thinking about something else. ”
(Note: The second-class contract is for artists with a certain reputation, and their conditions are much more generous than the newcomer contract.) The contract period is also short, generally two years. )
