Chapter 486: Don't Meddle!
The weather was hot in the summer, Xu Jin came by taxi, but he was sweating profusely after getting off the station for a while.
How fierce the sun outside was, how bad his mood was.
After communicating with Director Hua, Xu Jin realized that it was not the crew that had a problem, nor was it his company's fault, but that his "own people" had a problem.
He didn't call He Chuan and ask him why he wanted to card the drama "My Brother is Shunyo", but drove directly to Tang Ren and decided to ask him personally.
He Chuan was not in the office, and the office he went to was empty.
This time period is the time to go to work, and he also has He Chuan's working time schedule in his hand, if He Chuan needs to go out with the artist for something, all the artists will know.
As an agent, He Chuan's itinerary is public in his art crowd, which also plays an incentive role.
Let all the artists under him take a look, which artist is more popular recently, and which artist he is with the most, then that artist must be the hottest during this time.
There are only two artists under He Chuan's hands, one is Xu Jin and the other is Wei Zhou.
It is difficult to say whether these two are the ones that He Chuan single-handedly brought the fire, but they occupy most of He Chuan's personal itinerary.
Xu Jin took out his mobile phone and looked at it, but he didn't find that He Chuan had a personal itinerary today in the group.
So he decided to stand at the door and wait quietly, he hasn't announced it recently, generally speaking, he is either taking commercial performances or filming in the crew.
Originally, he planned to enter the crew to film, but it was a pity that he couldn't look down on any of the scripts sent to him, and he didn't ask him to be the starring actor in the scripts he did, but ran to help.
It's nothing to run to help, and I was still stuck when I took the script, so I asked if it was annoying.
This problem can be big or small, and it must be solved by good communication with He Chuan, if it is not solved in time, then he will not be able to take the script so casually in the future.
Xu Jin's identity is there, if he doesn't like and is not satisfied with the notice arranged by Tang Ren for him, Tang Ren can not force him to go to the notice in order not to offend him.
But on the other hand, not to be offended is not to be forced, Tang Ren can secretly reduce the amount of his notice to achieve the purpose of hiding Xu Jin.
This is not a ban, because the company only reduced the company's resources to Xu Jin in this regard, and if Xu Jin received resources from outside, the company would not interfere.
The company will share the money, but you have to find this resource yourself.
The above is the best situation that Xu Jin came up with, if he really fell out with Tang Ren, there is a high probability that he will encounter such a situation.
Like Wei Zhou's oppression, Tang Ren will not do it, after all, he can also create music, and he has a little more say than Wei Zhou.
"Xu Jin? Why do you keep standing in the doorway? ”
Another passing agent glanced at Xu Jin, but he felt that he was very familiar, and when he passed by him, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, recognized Xu Jin, turned around and asked.
Xu Jin: "I'll come to my agent and wait for him to come back." ”
"Oh, you're looking for He Chuan, I just met He Chuan!" The agent thought for a moment, "He must be in the dance studio on the fifth floor, and I met him in the bathroom when I went to meet the newcomer." ”
Xu Jin asked keenly: "Newcomer? Is the company looking for a new batch of trainees? ”
"Yes, I was just recruited last month, and after a month of short training, there are already some good seedlings who have shown their talents, and there are agents who have gone over to select people in the past few days."
Xu Jin asked curiously: "Does the agent have any requirements for selecting trainees?" ”
"Naturally, I hope that the trainees will be as versatile as possible, and of course, if there is a talent in a certain aspect that is prominent, it is also very good, so that the personal image will be particularly distinct."
"Is there no limit to the selection of agents, can you choose once a month?"
"Of course, there are restrictions on the selection of people, the lower the broker level, the number of trainees selected is the smallest, and only five people can be selected at most, and the higher the broker level, the more trainees will be selected."
When Xu Jin heard this, he was thoughtful.
Seeing him like this, this agent obviously misunderstood something, and explained: "But you don't have to worry too much, generally the higher the level of the agent, it is not easy to choose trainees to bring."
On the contrary, the higher the level, the more stingy they are with resources, and the number of people selected is very small. There may only be one or two, but as long as they are selected, they are all cultivated as key seedlings. ”
The agent laughed self-deprecatingly, "And a relatively low-level agent like me doesn't have so many resources at hand, so I can't focus on training all the trainees."
What I can do is to try my best to arrange them on the show, and whoever plays better, performs more brilliantly, and has more topical heat, I will throw resources on him. ”
In fact, in this way, agents with fewer resources can only smash resources on one or two trainees after all, hoping that they will become popular.
Agents with more resources can concentrate on smashing several people, so as a trainee, the older the agent who can be favored, the higher the treatment will be.
The agent said: "As for the selection time, there is no limit to this, you can pick it once every six months, or you can pick it three or four times a month, as long as you are free and in that mood." ”
Xu Jin said thank you to the agent, and then went to the dance studio on the fifth floor to find He Chuan.
The agent looked at the back of Xu Jin leaving, and was still a little confused, feeling that he was really strange.
If you want to find He Chuan, why wait at the door of the office, just text him and ask where he is?
Xu Jin is so popular, He Chuan can't treat him badly.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in the agent's mind, "Could it be that the two fell out?" ”
"No, it's impossible, if there is a falling out, there will definitely be some rumors in the company."
He shook his head, not taking it seriously.
The entire floor on the fifth floor is full of dance studios, some of which are large, some of which are small, and there is also a dance studio area dedicated to debuting artists and a dance studio area for trainees.
Needless to say, the dance studio used by the trainees is the worst.
Xu Jin was reminded by what the agent said, He Chuan had several artists under his hands, and those artists had been brought with them a long time ago.
Even Wei Zhou has been under He Chuan's hands for a long time.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Jin made a film as soon as he came to He Chuan, and the first film became famous and became popular relatively quickly.
After becoming popular with him and Wei Zhou, other artists who have been with him for so many years, He Chuan also has some resources for them, but unfortunately those artists can't help them, and they don't have the potential to be popular.
It is also because of this that He Chuan thought of looking for new trainees to cultivate, right?
In Xu Jin's eyes, he saw a different meaning-
He Chuan is about to start training new people.
From He Chuan's actions, Xu Jin could analyze Tang Ren's attitude towards him.
Do you feel that you are going to leave after all, and you still have a period of time in the contract, so you hurry up to find a few new people to train and try your best to take over your class?
Xu Jin knew that he was thinking a little too much, but there were many things that he couldn't do without thinking too much.
Otherwise, when the game is over, he won't be able to jump out if he wants to.
Xu Jin was very familiar with the fifth floor, he first looked for the dance studio where a few trainees were, but did not find an agent, so he went to the conference room where the agent often stayed.
The fifth floor is dominated by dance studios, but there are two small conference businesses, and they are also equipped with surveillance, where you can see all the surveillances in the dance studio.
This also helps to allow the broker to tap into great trainees.
When Xu Jin stepped into the office, He Chuan was facing Xu Jin with his back and discussing with an agent opposite: "I think you still have to pick one or two acting skills, if your acting skills are good, arrange one or two fire dramas, it is very likely to rise very quickly." ”
"Do you want him to follow the path of an actor? In the entertainment industry, the life span of actors is indeed stronger than that of singer idol groups, but the competition for actors is too fierce, even if Tang Ren has a lot of film and television drama resources, it is difficult to separate! ”
"As long as the acting skills are good and the image is appropriate, it is still easy to apply for a drama for him, whether it is popular or not, it depends on his luck.
Now many newcomers don't have a script to pick up, it's good if we can give them one or two, whether the script is popular or not, it's not up to us to have the final say. ”
"Buckle!" Xu Jin saw that they were discussing very seriously, and he didn't even notice that someone was coming in, and there was also a reason why he deliberately lowered the footsteps, so he knocked on the table to make a little noise.
The two agents looked over and were a little surprised when they saw that it was Xu Jin.
He Chuan was surprised: "Why are you free to come to the company today?" ”
Xu Jin: "I just happened to come over for something, and by the way, I also want to discuss it with you." ”
He Chuan said: "Okay, let's go down to the office and talk." ”
Another agent looked at people's faces and interjected: "No, no, I just have something to go out, you guys talk, I'll go out to see the performance of the trainees in the dance studio!" ”
Before the other two people could reply, the man had already run out.
Since the superfluous people were also gone, Xu Jin didn't have to talk in He Chuan's office, he closed the door, looked at He Chuan and asked bluntly:
"Why are you pressing down on the drama I want to take?"
"Drama?" He Chuan was stunned, and he couldn't react for a while, "I have all your scripts for you, what are you pressing?" ”
Xu Jin saw that he was surprised and didn't seem to be fake, and reminded him: "Didn't I tell you before, I want to take on a new drama called "My Brother is Shunyu". ”
He Chuan thought about it and groaned: "Xu Jin, it's not that I won't pick you up this drama, it's that you told me before that you won't act as the protagonist next time, but you have to play a supporting role in this drama in the past, and it's still very compatible, Nansan can't be counted, I can't pick you up." ”
Xu Jin: "But there are special circumstances, I know my principles, but I also specially greeted you for this drama, I want to take it, I have read the script, a very good story, there will be the potential to explode." ”
He Chuan didn't dare to compliment the word "explosion", this drama looked very mediocre in his eyes, and even if there were any highlights, he was all attracted by the role of "Shunyo".
Xu Jin went to be a supporting role, that is definitely to match, that is, to lower his position!
"I know, you said that this drama was just a favor in the past, and the filming time was not long, but the problem also appears here, and the audience will not know that you are there to help!"
He Chuan said bitterly: "They will only know that Xu Jin has lowered his style to take on the supporting role again, your coffee position is there, I can't let your coffee position fall." ”
Xu Jin said slowly: "I lowered my coffee position to take "The Ultimate K Family" before, but now what kind of results this drama is, you know, the whole network has become popular, and my popularity has soared a lot."
Now one-third of my traffic is contributed by the ultimate fans, and I also know that there is something wrong with the supporting roles, but I want to consolidate my popularity first, and I have to have a work every year that everyone can see me frequently.
Originally, "My Brother is Shunyo" was a drama that I used as a screen swipe next year. ”
He Chuan: "Frequent screen swiping, then you have to be popular to drive people's popularity, it's uncertain whether this drama will be popular, but it's certain that you play a role that is not as good as a male number three." ”
He scolded him again with what he had said before, "And you also explained to me that you won't accept any plays that are not the protagonist in the future." ”
Xu Jin said lightly: "Don't make a language trap for me, those scripts that I haven't seen are selected in your hands, and I won't accept them without the male lead."
But I've already read this script, and I said hello to you, and I've decided to star, Brother He, isn't it right for you to do this? ”
"You helped me push this drama and didn't tell me, and you didn't give the crew an exact answer, I thought there was a problem with the crew, so I specially called the director.
The director told me that they had called the company, and the company said that they had not received any invitation to the script of the show, which greatly ruined my face. ”
Xu Jin's voice was very calm, but under this calm appearance, there was a deep dark tide surging, as if a volcano was hidden.
It only takes a certain point in time for it to explode and ignite!
The atmosphere inexplicably became heavy and stressful, and He Chuan unconsciously oozed a little sweat on his forehead, and his voice was a little difficult:
"Because the role assigned to you in this drama is a role that is not very important, I thought you wouldn't care, so I didn't mention it to you, and I pushed it.
I didn't handle this matter right, and I promise you that it won't happen next time. ”
Xu Jin said: "Brother He, I know that you are for my good, but I have my own ideas and career plans, and you don't understand me." ”
I don't understand that he wants to take over the filming of this drama in order to create a reputation in the circle that "Xu Jin participates in the performance, it must be a high-quality product".
This kind of word-of-mouth is much more powerful than the word-of-mouth of fans.
The information in the outside world is too complex and confusing, everyone has it, everything has it, and if you want to know the value of the artist, you can only see it from the feedback of various public opinions.
It doesn't matter if he plays a male No. 3, as long as this drama is still a popular drama, it will not damage Xu Jin's popularity at all, only fans bring themselves in well there, saying that the company can't plan for him.
People in the circle will only see that Xu Jin's works are popular again, and the reputation spread is more real, so he will have more opportunities to get in touch with popular dramas and receive more script investment.
It's a virtuous circle.
The starring coffee is really nothing in front of the investment circle.
As long as he makes enough money, he can invest in the film himself, let himself be the starring actor, and he doesn't have to be angry, he is an investor, isn't it happy?
Therefore, Xu Jin's plan is just to let this supporting role sacrifice and achieve a better reputation in the circle.
But He Chuan didn't know Xu Jin's thoughts, because of the company, the two of them couldn't talk openly.
Not to mention that He Chuan now senses that Xu Jin is a little "disobedient", and Xu Jin also senses that He Chuan wants to suppress himself, and the two can't be open and honest.
Xu Jin said resolutely: "Brother He, I hope that I will be in charge of my script in the future, and you don't interfere!" ”
