Chapter 38: Be My Personal Broker
It's time to buy a computer, consciousness exits the system space, Jiang Lin thinks, although the family's economic conditions are quite good, but before that, they did not buy a computer, the child is addicted to computers, and there are too many things to waste their studies, Jiang Haishan and Wang Shufen are not at ease to buy a computer at home, and when the college entrance examination is over, they have not thought about buying a computer.
Jiang Lin had the idea of buying a computer, but because she was busy studying music all day during this time, she was originally going to buy it when she stepped into the university, just like the original time and space, but with the activation of the system and the future plan formulated, it was time to buy it in advance.
Early the next morning, after talking to Jiang Haishan and Wang Shufen, Jiang Lin went straight to Yi'an City, yes, he went to the city to buy it, not to buy it in Nanhe County.
No way, at the moment in 2002, notebooks belong to out-and-out high-end consumption, the price is extremely high, far from the consumption of ordinary people, last year's domestic notebook annual sales were only 700,000 units.
In other words, there are no decent laptop stores in markets like Nanhe County, and even in Yi'an City, there are not many specialty stores.
How expensive is a laptop this year? Anyway, when Jiang Lin entered a few stores and turned around, looking at the price of one or two hundred thousand, he only felt that the egg hurt a lot, such as a notebook from IBM, yes, IBM was founded in 1911, even though time and space have changed, it is still the world's top technology giant, and its one of the main frequency P42.0G, memory256MB, hard disk 60G notebook, the price is 35800 yuan.
Well, so far, Jiang Lin, who has not yet broken away from the ranks of the first silk in essence, unconsciously compared it with the laptop in 2016, it is naturally difficult to accept spending a quarter of his net worth to buy such a broken computer that may only be worth four or five thousand in two or three years, and his main purpose is just to understand the information, watch movies, code words, if he has a net worth of millions, he will not care about the so-called cost performance, but now, he has transferred a few more stores, He finally selected a notebook with 192MB memory, 20G hard disk, and 9288 yuan from the domestic brand Huaqing, and bought a desktop computer priced at 4500 yuan as a gift to Jiang Haishan Wang Shufen.
When he took the computer home, he went to the telecommunications company to handle the network business, went to the bookstore to buy novels, followed him home to practice piano and guitar, and waited until he finished his music lessons in the evening.
An episode of a TV series of about 45 minutes usually has a word count of about 12,000 words and 13,000 words, and the first part of "Huanzhu Gege" has a total of 24 episodes, which also means that the word count of the entire script is around 300,000 words.
However, before the script was completed, Jiang Lin was already thinking about finding a buyer for the script.
"Sister Bing, have I already figured out the path of life I want to take in the future?" Jiang Lin quickly dialed Xia Bing's phone.
"Do what?" In an apartment in the western suburbs of Yanjing, Xia Bing, who had been waiting for Jiang Lin's phone call for the past two days, only felt that her voice trembled uncontrollably when she spoke, and she had a faint premonition in her heart that after waiting for so long, she dreamed that Jiang Lin's signing might finally end today.
Will Jiang Lin sign a contract with himself? Thinking of this, Xia Bing unconsciously pursed her lips, she had already dreamed of the arrival of this moment, but she couldn't hide the nervousness in her heart, because she wanted to sign a contract with Jiang Lin so much, she couldn't wait to burn all her energy to build Jiang Lin, and she was too eager to realize her dream of being a super agent.
Jiang Lin smiled brightly: "Directors, actors, screenwriters, singers, writers, as long as I think something is interesting, I want to do it." ”
Jiang Lin smiled brightly, but Xia Bing really couldn't laugh, director, actor, screenwriter, writer, singer, and everything interesting will try, such an arrogant tone, her first thought is who do you think you are, not to mention that a person's time and energy are limited, yes, you have a very good musical talent now, but there are too many geniuses in this world, if you can't grasp the best time to burst into inspiration, but act arrogantly with high self-confidence, then wait until your talent is exhausted, It will only end up with nothing.
Her expression suddenly straightened: "Jiang Lin, it's good that you have such enthusiasm, people can't live without dreams, but dreams are not illusions, not delusions, not only practical actions, but also a degree, there are too many geniuses in this world who have been ruined by their adolescent rebellion and unruliness, I don't know if you have understood, in fact, creators' creations have a golden time, good works are often concentrated in a certain period of time, once the golden time has passed, the inspiration will be exhausted, the so-called Jiang Langcai is said to be like that." ”
"Do you think it's easy to write a song now, it seems that just humming it is a good song, but have you ever thought about the day when your inspiration dies? For those creators who have achieved fame and have enough accumulation in the golden time, they may feel regretful, but in general, they can be calm, but those who bury their own creative golden time will only hate what they did at the beginning, and they will live painfully in the long life in the future. ”
"So what you should do is to cherish the present, use your prime time to write more songs, if your prime time is a little longer, then when your musical inspiration runs out, you will have enough accumulation to pursue directors, actors, screenwriters, writers or something, you know what I mean?"
"Of course, I understand it very well." Jiang Lin smiled: "Really, I'm grateful to Sister Bing for giving me such a proposal at this time, I also know that Sister Bing must be full of doubts about my decision in your heart, yes, it sounds crazy, but this is indeed the true thought in my heart, if I say that in fact, I have no less talent in screenwriting and writing than in music creation, and I will definitely succeed, Sister Bing, are you willing to choose to believe me?" ”
"I ......" Xia Bing suddenly fell into hesitation, as an agent who has been in the entertainment industry for several years, she knows what kind of fantasy it is.
"I know Sister Bing, it's hard for you to believe me for a while, it's normal, but the facts will prove to be a qiē." Jiang Lin smiled slightly, if it were him, he would not believe that there would be such a buggy person in this world, after all, there are very few people who can achieve extraordinary results in both the two fields of actors and singers, not to mention across several other fields.
"Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since you called me for the first time, Sister Bing." Jiang Lin continued, his tone was a little emotional: "I always want to say that I am very grateful to Sister Bing for taking care of you during this period......
Listening to Jiang Lin's emotional words, Xia Bing suddenly had a very bad premonition, and sure enough, Jiang Lin's voice came from the phone: "I thought about it carefully, and I still decided not to sign a contract with Hanhai Film and Television, I'm sorry Sister Bing." ”
Don't sign a contract, it's really not a sign, in an instant, Xia Bing only felt that she had lost her strength, almost even the mobile phone almost slipped out of her hand, and her eyes became a little hazy, why, why is this the result, she worked hard for so long, but finally waited for such an answer, although from the beginning, she was ready to have a good relationship with Jiang Lin even if she couldn't sign a contract, but this was naturally not what she really wanted the most, she wanted to sign a contract with Jiang Lin, she wanted to have a very potential artist, I don't care if the money is not money, but because it is related to her dreams.
And just when she was hesitating whether she should fight again, Jiang Lin's voice sounded on the phone: "But Sister Bing, are you willing to be my personal agent?" ”
Private agent, Xia Bing was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Jiang Lin was not unwilling to sign a contract with her, but just unwilling to sign a contract with Hanhai Film and Television, which made her feel both happy and unbelievable.
"Jiang Lin, why are you reluctant to sign a contract with Hanhai Film and Television, you must know that Hanhai Film and Television is a top film and television entertainment company in China, and you will have a good development platform after signing a contract." Xia Bing pressed his heart and said excitedly.
Jiang Lin smiled and said lightly: "Sister Bing, for a goldfish, a pool is as vast as an ocean, but for a giant whale, a pool is too small!" ”
Xia Bing was shocked, only to feel that Jiang Lin's light tone was full of domineering, for a while, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, should Jiang Lin be arrogant? From the words themselves, it seems that this is indeed the case, but the strong confidence that pervades them seems to be as if Jiang Lin is just telling a fact that should be so.
Jiang Lin didn't care what kind of impact his words would have on Xia Bing, and he didn't bother to think about it, but continued: "Sister Bing, I really want you to be my personal agent and take care of the brokerage business for me, I can't trust ordinary agents." ”
It's true that he doesn't plan to sign a brokerage company, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't need an agent, on the contrary, Jiang Lin thinks that he needs a competent agent very much, no way, according to his future life plan and the permission promotion conditions of the pit dad system, he will definitely be busy to death in the future, and no one will help him take care of the brokerage business.
As for why Xia Bing was chosen, firstly, Xia Bing was the only agent he knew, secondly, Xia Bing had many years of experience as an agent, and thirdly, Xia Bing gave him a good impression, he owed the other party a lot of favors before, and he had the intention to help the other party in the future.
As for the rich connections that agents should have, in his opinion, it is not important, unlike ordinary singers and actors, he is destined to take an extraordinary path with a system golden finger, and it is not necessary to have connections or support to open a way out, and those agents with rich connections are often very strong themselves, not so much that artists are their employers, but rather a tool to make money, he doesn't want to be angry with his agent.
For Jiang Lin's sincere invitation, Xia Bing's displeasure was fake, which fully showed Jiang Lin's trust in herself, but it was difficult not to hesitate for a while, her own family knew her own affairs, and she knew her own ability very well.
"Jiang Lin, thank you very much for choosing me as your personal agent, but I don't think I can agree to your invitation, you know, I'm just an ordinary agent at the moment, if you sign a contract with Hanhai Film and Television, I will naturally do my best to help you win resource support within the company, no, to be honest, I don't have any confidence that I can really help you, and it's not good to delay your development."
Jiang Lin smiled slightly, what he admired most about Xia Bing was the honesty of the other party, unlike other agents who fooled the dead and didn't pay for their lives, and immediately smiled: "So that's the case, scared me to death, I thought Sister Bing You dislike being my private agent and have no future, don't worry, as long as you don't dislike me, by the way, Sister Bing, how much income do you earn every month in Hanhai Film and Television?" ”
"The total income of all kinds is almost 3,800 yuan." Xia Bing said after a slight groan.
Jiang Lin nodded, it really deserves to be a big company, and the level of monthly income of 3,800 yuan is already very good at this time, and he said without thinking: "Sister Bing, do you think this is good, you are my agent, I will give you a basic salary of 3,800 yuan every month, and at the same time, give you a 5% commission, no one will know how much this 5% commission is, but I hope that after our concerted efforts, this 5% will become very amazing." ”
Xia Bing bit her lip tightly, her hesitation was naturally not a matter of treatment, compared to her treatment in Hanhai Film and Television, Jiang Lin's treatment was already quite generous, not to mention that Jiang Lin himself still had so much potential, she hesitated that she might not be able to help Jiang Lin.
"Okay, since Jiang Lin, you don't dislike me as a rookie agent, then I will be your agent from now on, and I will cooperate happily in the future."
Exhaled, Xia Bing said with a firm expression, she finally met Jiang Lin such a potential musician, she didn't want to miss it anyway, yes, she couldn't be sure what kind of help she could bring to Jiang Lin, but she was 100% sure that she would burn all her energy and go all out to help the other party.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Jiang Lin smiled brightly: "Since Sister Bing is already my agent, then I finally won't bother you, and now there are just two things that you need to do." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Xia Bing's eyes lit up, what he was most afraid of as an agent was not that he was too busy to die, but that he was too idle to find something to do.
The corners of Jiang Lin's mouth turned up slightly: "First, I am going to release a single to test the water, I want Sister Bing to ask if it is possible for Hanhai Records to help release it, and if so, what specific conditions are needed?" And if Hanhai Records can't do it, can you find another record company to help release it? The second is that I wrote a TV drama script, and I need to find a powerful film and television company to sell it. ”
It's launching a single again, and writing a script again, hearing Jiang Lin's words, Xia Bing can be said to be both happy and speechless, happy that Jiang Lin is finally ready to take the first step to become a singer-songwriter, speechless is that Jiang Lin really thinks he is an all-round genius, not only wrote the script, but also prepares to sell it, then again, of course she hopes that the script can be sold, but can it really be sold?
"Okay, I'll go through the resignation procedures first, and then I'll do things for you."
"Okay, that's it." Jiang Lin smiled brightly.
