Chapter 67: The Agent
Zhang Jiao hurriedly wiped his face vigorously, wiped off his lipstick, and said with a wry smile: "Morning Chief Jiang."
I'm just a new actor in our theater, but I don't dare to call it a pillar.
The lipstick mark on his face was also left by a fan he had just met at the bus stop.
I didn't have this experience before, I forgot to wipe it, and I lost it all the way. ”
jumped off the stage, followed Jiang Xiaoke, and walked towards the manager's room on the 3rd floor.
On the way, Jiang Xiaoke said very sincerely: "Artist Zhang, for celebrities, qualifications, stage experience and acting skills are all false, only popularity is the most important."
There are more people who can act well these years.
Especially in an old theater like ours in the art street, entering the play in 1 second, acting like anything is simply the basic skill of an actor.
But no matter how well many people act, it's not like they've been on stage for more than 10 years or even decades.
If you are not famous, no one will take a second look.
You're different, you already have so many fans, of course, the pillars of the theater. ”
What he said was right, but Jiang Xiaoke was famous for his high and low in the theater, and he didn't look at Zhang Jiao before he became famous.
People have a utilitarian heart, and there is nothing wrong with being a philistine, but it is a bit too much to be stingy with even a smiling face for the 'people below'.
Although Zhang Jiao didn't dislike this kind of person, he didn't want to make friends very much, so he didn't take Jiang Xiaoke's stubble at all, just laughed dryly, and hurriedly ran into the manager's room as soon as he got to the ground.
In the manager's room, the boss Xu Jili sat behind a magnificent desk facing the door, pretending to drink tea.
In front of him, a young girl with wide-rimmed glasses, a mushroom head, and an unattractive young girl stood at the desk, receiving 'employee education', "Let me tell you about Xiao Wu, I just let you do such an important job when you joined the company, but you were exceptionally promoted."
You must work hard, try to satisfy the artists you bring, and at the same time manage his acting career, understand?"
"Don't worry, manager," the girl said calmly and confidently, "I studied 'mass media' in college, and I will definitely be able to work as an agent." ”
"Yes, yes, keep the momentum going, do it. Xu Jili nodded and beckoned to Zhang Jiao, who had just entered the door, "Come here, Jiaozi, meet the exclusive agent I helped you find." ”
Serious artists who will not have an agent.
When Zhang Jiao heard this, he knew that he had finally ascended to the Hall of Elegance, so he stepped forward and pretended to be modest: "Boss, do I still need an exclusive agent for this 'coffee position', no need." ”
"To be too modest is to be proud. Xu Jili said with a smile: "Your current fame is not small among the actors on Art Street."
There is also the special identity of a double monk who takes into account both law and martial arts, which has highlights and gimmicks, and the future development is even brighter.
Why can't you match an exclusive broker.
Xiao Wu has just graduated from college, she is knowledgeable, energetic, and the same age as you, I feel that you two must be compatible.
First of all, because you have a special contract, the theater only pays half of the agent's salary, and the other half is deducted from your performance remuneration.
From now on, if you will, she is your exclusive agent. ”
Zhang Jiao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay then." ”
Turning to Wu Qian, he stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Zhang Jiao, the official actor of Xiaoxiao Pavilion."
Thank you for your kind attention in the future. ”
Wu Qian shook Zhang Jiao's hand, "Wu Qian, graduated from the Mass Media Department of Jinghua Media College in Haijing in July last year.
I went home to rest for half a year, and I just recently returned to Haijing.
This is my first job, and I would like to ask you to take care of it. ”
After the two finished greeting, Xu Jili ordered a cup of kung fu tea, handed it to Zhang Jiao and said, "Okay, you will work together in the future, you will spend a lot of time together, and you can talk slowly if you have something to say."
Slot, I have one more thing to arrange for you.
I'm afraid you'll have to get a new partner. ”
Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, and said categorically: "Boss, I can agree to other things, but I really can't do this."
Sunflower, no, Liu Song and I have been partners for so long, and we have the same temper and personality..."
"I understand, I understand," Xu Jili waved his hand and interjected, "Men, especially a young man like you."
Making a good brother and good friend feels like a lifelong thing, how can you abandon your brother as soon as you become popular.
I also have such times, such brothers, so your feelings are completely understandable.
However, social life is not a playhouse, it is not so simple, and we still have to analyze the specific problems in detail.
Liu Song is now in school and must focus on his studies, and I took a look at his attendance sheet for the fourth quarter of last year.
Since I went to college in September, I have come to Xiaoxiao Hall to report for two or three days a week on average, and most of them only stay in half a class for 4 hours.
I don't blame him, on the contrary, I appreciate that he knows what his current focus in life should be and has made the right choice.
Over the years, there have been many high school students who want to apply for the acting department, and they do not hesitate to temporarily suspend their studies and come to our major theaters in Haijing Art Street to be students and prepare for professional courses.
After they finish college, many of them continue to stay in the troupe they joined, accumulate stage experience, and become the backbone of countless examples.
This is a win-win situation, so as soon as you asked for it at that time, I turned Liu Song into a full-fledged actor, and I didn't even play a stalk.
But his acting future is in the future, after finishing college.
You're not a college student.
It's the rising period of your acting career, your future is now, can you fish for three days and dry your nets for two days like him, and treat acting as a side job?"
Zhang Jiao was speechless for a while, opened his mouth, and showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
Seeing that his attitude had begun to loosen, Xu Jili struck while the iron was hot and said: "To be honest, if you have enough stage experience and can take the lead alone, I won't change your partner."
But do you feel like you can hold up a whole show now?
You must know that without a partner singing and harmonizing there, controlling the rhythm of each other, checking and filling in the gaps, the difficulty of comedy performance will be several times higher.
Besides, it's not like I'm going to disband the 'Dumpling Happy' group when I change your partner.
Rather, while Liu Song was in college, he temporarily formed a new group to meet the needs of the theater and your personal future.
When Liu Song graduates from university, we can make adjustments again. ”
"Oh well. Zhang Jiao was silent for a long time when he heard this, and agreed to Xu Jili's request with difficulty, and put forward his bottom line, "But you have to promise that you will never dissolve 'Dumpling Happy'." ”
"Of course. Xu Jili said with a smile: "The Dumpling Happy Combination will not be disbanded, but will only be temporarily frozen." ”
Then he pressed the speakerphone button on the office phone on the desk, connected to his secretary, and ordered: "Director Jiang, ask Jiang Lina to come to my office." ”
