At this time, it is impossible for Ye Zi to loosen his mouth.

Once you first cooperate with a certain acupuncture head, the price is too low, even if other acupuncture heads come to your door in the future, they will not give you a high price, unless your popularity rises significantly in a short period of time. But even if your popularity increases, these acupuncture people will still remember the first time you made a low price, and it is certain, inevitable, and undoubted that the price that will be pressed on you. Therefore, Ye Zi would rather lose this performance than reduce the price too low.

And Ye Zi clearly knows that this performance should belong to the organizer's "à la carte" performance, that is to say, the organizer has set which actors he likes, and then handed over the list to the familiar agent, that is, the acupuncture head, and asked them to come forward to invite these actors to perform.

This can be felt from Qian Liren's introduction just now.

Such a "la carte" form of performance is the favorite of the acupuncture heads, who can take advantage of the organizer's unfamiliarity with the actor's price, lightly call a high price, and then lower the actor's price, to obtain a high profit in the middle. Sometimes the difference in price is higher than the appearance fee that the actor gets, and it is possible to even double it.

There is also a form of organizing performances, and the cave heads will earn a little less relatively speaking, and that is packaged performances. The organizer gives the acupuncture head a number, for example, 30,000 or 50,000 for a performance, how many actors you have to invite me, among which a few are well-known, a few are not so famous, and a few are invited at random. In this case, the acupuncture heads did not dare to make too much money, so as not to cause dissatisfaction with the organizers and make future performance opportunities ruined.

However, if you meet a local tyrant who doesn't know how to do it, the acupuncture points in this form of performance can also earn and fly.

――――――――――

As soon as he heard that Ye Zi was going to withdraw from this performance, Qian Liren on the phone was a little anxious.

"Teacher Ye Zi, this price is ・・・・・・ easy for everyone to discuss." Qian Liren immediately gave his second price: "How about you see three thousand?" Make friends, and I will definitely invite you again when there is a performance in the future. ”

"Mr. Qian, I really didn't agree to this price." Ye Zi still rejected this second offer.

This saying that "I will invite you when there is a performance in the future" is another trick of the acupuncture heads. Let's not talk about whether there will be any future performances, even if there is a next performance, your price is still low this time, right? So the next time you are invited to perform, why should the other party give you a higher price?

It's just a disguise, it's just a decoy.

――――――――――

Qian Liren was really a little anxious: "Teacher Ye Zi, then you can quote me another price, okay?" I really can't do 5,000 games. ”

"Teacher Qian, it's okay." The other party's reaction made Ye Zi feel more confident: "It's really not okay, forget it this time, we will have a chance in the future, what do you think?" ”

"Forget it, this time I should make you a friend and don't make your money, two games of eight thousand, no matter more, I really can't do it." Qian Liren gritted his teeth and increased again: "Teacher Ye Zi, for the sake of my acquaintance with Teacher Ni Jun, you will do me a favor this time, okay?" ”

"Teacher Qian, you have said so, if I don't agree again, then I will not be able to be a man." Ye Zi said with a smile. He also knew that this should be the highest price that the other party could give, but these are if they don't make money or anything, and they don't need to be ignored at all.

"Hehe, thank you then." Qian Liren finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's just say it?" ”

"Okay, it's decided." Ye Zi agreed: "It's the 31st and the 1st, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, you will gather at the fountain at the north corner of the Mass Square at ten o'clock in the morning on the 31st."

"Okay, I know, at ten o'clock in the morning, the fountain at the north corner of the mass square, is it not mistaken, Mr. Qian?"

"Yes, that's the place. As soon as everyone arrived, we set off, went to Kuncheng for lunch, walked on stage in the afternoon, and performed in the evening. Qian Liren has already planned the performance process.

"By the way, Mr. Qian, how is the accommodation arranged this time?" Ye Zi asked again. It's best to ask these trivial things beforehand, otherwise you won't have much to say if you find a random place to throw you away at night. This kind of thing has not happened before, even if the big names go out to the caves, such things have also been encountered.

Encountering a "freak" like Ye Zi who is so familiar with the performance of walking holes at such a young age, Qian Liren has completely lost his temper. He simply explained everything clearly first, otherwise Ye Zi would still ask.

"At night, I stayed in Kuncheng Hotel, two people in one room. There is no way that the conditions are like this, please overcome it. It's just two nights anyway, okay? ”

"No problem, Mr. Qian." Ye Zi only needs to know the accommodation situation at night. As for two people in one room, if you are not a big name, it is basically like this when you go out to perform.

"Also, as soon as I arrive in Kuncheng, I will pay you half of the performance fee first, and settle the other half after the second performance."

"Hehe, okay, thank you, Mr. Qian." Ye Zi has always been polite.

"Then we're settled." Qian Liren finalized this matter again.

Ye Zi nodded: "Well, it's finalized." ”

"Teacher Qian, I'll repeat the matter, you can listen and see if there are any mistakes or omissions." This is Ye Zi's habit all along, repeat it in person, so as not to make mistakes.

"The performance is two days, the 31st and the 1st of the next month, once a day in the evening, a total of two. The performance fee is 8,000 yuan for two performances, half of which is paid first when you arrive in Kuncheng and half after the performance. The meeting time is 10 a.m. on the 31st at the fountain at the north corner of the mass square. ”

"Teacher Qian, do you have anything else to add?"

"Yes, yes, that's it." Qian Liren immediately affirmed: "By the way, I almost forgot." Your song "The Sound of the Waves Remains" must be sung, don't forget it. ”

"Okay, I remember." Ye Zi agreed.

"Then we'll see you on the thirty-one."

"Okay, I'll see you then."

Ye Zi hung up the phone.

――――――――――

From the last few words of Qian Liren, it can be completely seen that the organizer must have asked Ye Zi to perform by name, otherwise he would never have increased his weight again and again.

However, is it possible to say that Ye Zi has no need to give up the two thousand yuan at all? Should Ye Zi insist that he wouldn't go without five thousand games?

That's not right.

In the first place, such an approach will definitely stiffen the relationship between the two sides. Although the performance market is very unregulated now, it will be regulated sooner or later, and when the time comes, it will still be these people who are organizing performances. These acupuncture heads basically interact with each other, although there are contradictions between them, but their interests are the same. This means that if you offend one acupuncture point, other people will stay away from you. Of course, this refers to those big acupuncture heads who have a certain amount of energy.

Second, everyone is considered to be in this circle, and their relationship with each other is interdependent. If Ye Zi is aggressive in his first performance, it will not be good for his own image, and it is difficult for actors who don't know how to back down in this circle. Of course, if the actor doesn't know how to stick to his bottom line and only knows how to blindly back down, then there is no place to cry when he is slaughtered.

The balance between the actor and the acupoint (agent) is mutually beneficial, and the balance between each other needs to be carefully maintained by using their own wisdom.

As the saying goes, "take a step back and open the sky", this is the truth.

Although the market for performances is small now, it will grow very big in the future. It is very unwise to have a stiff relationship with these current acupuncture heads and future agents.

――――――――――

As soon as he hung up the phone, Qian Liren immediately glared angrily at his assistant.

"It's not easy to find out the news, who told you that Ye Zi is a rookie? Yes? Who told you that Ye Zi was very easy to coax when he first debuted? Yes? It took an extra 4,000 yuan to get things done today, and Lao Tzu was killed by you! ”

"I ・・・・・・," the assistant muttered, "I thought he was only eighteen years old, so he couldn't be as good as those old guys, right?" ”

"What do you think? Still not that fine? Qian Liren said: "I don't think the old guys are as difficult as him!" ”

"Now・・・・・・ it's all done now, right?" The assistant was a little apprehensive.

Qian Liren sighed: "It's done." Alas, he made less money from this performance, and only TM made 4,000 yuan. You, don't give me these bad ideas in the future. ”

――――――――――

Saturday, November 31.

Just after half past nine, Ye Zi rushed to the edge of the fountain at the north corner of the mass square.

Bargaining is a normal business method, but arriving late and leaving early is a matter of character. Ye Zi participated in an invited performance for the first time in this life, so he naturally didn't want to leave a bad impression on others. Arrive early, convenient with people, and convenient for yourself.

Qian Liren also rushed to the meeting place at 9:35. He is the head of this performance, and of course he can't arrive later than the actor. However, as soon as he came down from the rental, he immediately saw Ye Zi standing on the edge of the fountain, which made his perception of Ye Zi immediately better.

――――――――――

"You're Teacher Ye Zi, right? I'm Qian Liren. It was still far away, so Qian Liren stretched out his hand and beckoned.

Ye Zi also stretched out his hand: "Hello Teacher Qian, just call me Ye Zi, I can't be a teacher or something." ”

"Well deserved." Qian Liren held Ye Zi's hand and said with a smile.

Qian Liren is a burly man with a very thick voice, and he doesn't look like a person in the literary circle, but like a sportsman. He shook hands with Ye Zi vigorously: "You are all my teachers, and it is the blessing of my old money to be able to invite you here." Teacher Ye Zi, even if we know each other now, I will invite you again in the future, don't shirk it. ”

"Teacher Qian, you are too polite." Others are polite, of course Ye Zi should be polite: "You are my rich man, I can't even confront you, where will I refuse?" I don't know if you can watch my performance. ”

"How is that possible!" Qian Liren waved his hand and laughed heartily: "Teacher Ye Zi is now a Hong singer, and this fame has spread to other places, and the performance must be the best." Old money, I can't be wrong with my eyes. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Qian, for your compliment." Ye Zi will also be polite: "Teacher Qian, you really don't need to call me teacher, I really can't afford it." You still call me Ye Zi, or you can call me Xiao Ye Zi just like my friends. ”

"Then ・・・・・・ then I'll call you Xiaoyezi, so it sounds a little more affectionate." Qian Liren was very happy. On the phone that day, I felt that Ye Zi was very difficult to talk to, but I didn't expect that he would be very polite and humble when he met, and Qian Liren's mind would come alive immediately. One more actor in his hand, one more way to make money.

"Xiao Yezi, then you don't want Teacher Qian's name, I'm older than you, so you can call me Old Qian." Qian Liren immediately continued.

"That's not going to work." Ye Zi refused with a smile: "Why don't I call you Brother Qian." Whether it's age or experience, you have no problem being my brother. Brother Qian, if you have good things in the future, you must remember your little brother. ”

"Hahaha, okay, okay, no problem." Qian Liren gently patted Ye Zi's shoulder with his hand, and his heart was really comfortable now.
