Chapter 126, sign Li Xiaoxi
Because I wanted to talk about things, I asked for a private room. The film crew quickly installed the equipment, and when the three of them walked into the private room to order food and wait for the food to be served, Meng Ran opened his mouth: "Sister Xiaoxi, I'm a straight person, I'll tell you anything directly." I heard that your contract will expire at the end of the month, do you continue to renew the contract or have you already negotiated with another company and are ready to go to another company? ”
Li Xiaoxi took a sip of lemonade, put down the cup, and said a little speechlessly: "You are really straight, I'm afraid you are not a straight man." Meng Ran shrugged indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter if you are straight or not." You and I have a solid understanding of it, so that I can be prepared. ”
Li Xiaoxi looked at Meng Ran's indifferent appearance and smiled, she didn't expect Meng Ran to ask her about her future plans so bluntly, and what was even more excessive was that it seemed that whether he renewed the contract or went to another company, he looked indifferent. It's as if you don't matter to the company at all. How to say it... She was completely unimpressed by this kind of negotiation skill. But this time she guessed wrong, she really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Meng Ran didn't mean that at all, he just didn't care, after all, Jiayu was not his company, although he had shares, he really couldn't do anything with the annual share.
Li Xiaoxi looked at Di Muti, who didn't say anything, and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone. For her, Meng Ran can handle the business affairs well, and she is a soy sauce player. Since I can't plug in, I can only play with my mobile phone in order not to be embarrassed.
Li Xiaoxi, who was helpless by this little couple, raised his hands and said, "Okay, I surrender." I'm currently negotiating with a music company and another film and television company, and there's zero chance I'll be able to stay in Jiayu. In other words, I will no longer renew my contract with Jiayu and am ready to change jobs. After all, I used to be a singer..."
"Which do you think you prefer more than acting, or singing? Seriously. ”
Li Xiaoxi thought about it seriously and said, "I'm quite entangled, I like singing very much, and I also like drills." Meng Ran, my sister is not afraid to tell you the truth, when I signed a contract with the company, I said that there would be new songs for me, but the results were the theme songs of some film and television dramas I participated in, which is not what I wanted. And I signed a five-year contract with the company, and I only had a job in the third year, and I didn't even have a job for the first two years, and I almost couldn't pay the rent..."
"Now there are music companies that say they want to give me a single, or even give me an album. The salary package given by another film and television company is very good, and there are many large-scale film and television dramas. How can I choose? What Jiayu can't give, people can give me, what Jiayu can give me, people give more, if you are you, how will you choose? ”
Meng Ran nodded, understanding Li Xiaoxi's situation very well. After all, this circle is so cruel. Li Xiaoxi can be considered to have survived, if he can't get out, he has not worked for the past five years, and he will waste his time. Not to mention, there are really such companies that sign several newcomers at once, and then they just don't give you a job. Newcomers have no choice but to find another way, but there are contract restrictions and they can't change jobs, and they can only pay high liquidated damages if they want to have a better development. This is the routine of other companies, and they rely on this to make money. Therefore, I advise all young people who want to enter the circle to keep their eyes open before acting.
After thinking about it, Meng Ran said to Li Xiaoxi: "Sister Xiaoxi, if Jiayu gives you a song and recommends you to participate in a big-budget film and television drama, will you renew the contract with the company?" Li Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Meng Ran and asked, "Can you make a decision?" And Jiayu shouldn't have this kind of resource, right? Little brother, you can't say anything when your mind is hot, I really will believe it. ”
Meng Ran listened to it, nodded and said, "Of course, but I really didn't say it in a hot head." The company doesn't have this resource, I have! I can write songs for you, and I can also recommend you to join the group. Brother Long, Director Ma Xiao, Director Lin Xian, if you want, I can also recommend the crew in the port area. How about the songs I wrote, you should know something. "This time it's a serious negotiation, Meng Ran didn't even say anything about you, and called you directly. What do you mean? It means that we are now in an equal relationship.
Listening to Meng Ran's words, Li Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, after all, Meng Ran's songs are all high-quality products. The songs for Dimuti and Yang Xi are still in the top ten of the download list and click list of Chinese female singers. is full of talent in music, not to mention film and television dramas. Meng Ran has been filming with director Lin Xian from the beginning, and then director Long Ge and Ma Xiao, all of which are big productions, and the box office is extremely high. He's right, he has more than a little more resources than Jiayu!
Li Xiaoxi looked at Meng Ran, who picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of water. Just as Li Xiaoxi was about to speak, the waiter knocked on the door and followed several waiters to push the door with a tray. Eat first when the food is ready.
This meal was the most torturous meal Li Xiaoxi had ever eaten, she originally wanted to talk to Meng Ran, but Meng Ran and Di Muti didn't talk when they were eating, if she was a little rude to speak, then she would not speak first. But she was still uncomfortable when she didn't say this, so she didn't eat much at all.
Meng Ran, who had eaten a meal in an average of three minutes, suddenly became slow to chew this time, and he ate slowly as if he had made an appointment with Di Muti. In fact, if you look at the WeChat of their young couple, you can see a very detailed plan. The two of them had already made an appointment to talk about the contract with Li Xiaoxi today, otherwise Di Muti, who usually only hung around in Meng Ran and Yang Xi's office, would not have gone to Li Xiaoxi to play. All of this was deliberately done by the two of them in order to negotiate a contract with Li Xiaoxi. The reason why I said it on WeChat was because I was afraid that I would be told that it was too conspiratorial after being photographed.
Looking at the anxious Li Xiaoxi, Meng Ran pretended not to see it on his face, but he was still secretly happy in his heart. That's what she wants, to sharpen her temperament. His words have already been finished, and the rest is for Li Xiaoxi to say by himself, so that he can take the initiative. Dimuti looked at Li Xiaoxi's anxious appearance, and the speed of eating couldn't help but speed up a little, after all, why should women be embarrassed by women.
Meng Ran watched Di Muti speed up his eating, thinking that it was almost over, he simply ate some more, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, drank a sip of water and said to Li Xiaoxi a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoxi, I was injured before, and the doctor suggested that I eat slowly, delaying your time." By the way, how did you think about it? ”
Li Xiaoxi is not a fool, but now she doesn't care about the real and fake, she hurriedly said to Meng Ran: "You have the resources that the company doesn't have, are you going to set up a company by yourself or what?" ”
"Why set up a company, you can sign directly under my studio when the contract with Jiayu expires, and you can't escape from Jiayu Media inside and outside." How long do you think it will take to adapt to a new company and a new environment? ”
Hearing Meng Ran say this, Li Xiaoxi also felt reasonable. Not to mention her, even if an ordinary person changes companies and arrives in a new environment, there will be a process of adaptation. It's good not to adapt to the new environment, after all, people nowadays have some social phobia. When Li Xiaoxi was stunned, Meng Ran had already paid the bill. Leaving the program team to withdraw the equipment, VJ followed them and got into the car.
Driving the car, Meng Ran asked Li Xiaoxi: "Haven't thought about it yet?" My studio has now signed Zu Ning and Kikyo and Zhan Yu, except for Zu Ning, the remaining two are good friends. Kikyo is not bad in music now, Zhan Yu, you know, he only filmed the show "Companion" before here, so he can be regarded as an amateur. Some time ago, in the port area, I recommended him to make Brother Long's new movie, and he was also angry, and he was favored by Brother Long during the audition, and he went to Wushi with Zixin to join the group two days later. Not to mention Zu Ning, filming "Our Youth" with me, no artist of her age is more popular than her. Does it need to be said? Obviously not. So are you still thinking about it? ”
Li Xiaoxi said without hesitation: "Then don't think about it, I'll sign your studio." But let's talk about it first, I'm not afraid of having too many jobs, I'm afraid of not having a job. And I appointed you to be my broker, what do you think? ”
Li Xiaoxi knew very well that if he thought about it again, then this good opportunity could only slip away from his eyes. Di Muti didn't mention it, Meng Ran took a lot of good jobs for Di Muti when he was still Di Muti's agent. The bellflower used to be very popular, but then its popularity declined, Meng Ran took him to the Spring Festival Gala and wrote songs for him, and now the bellflower can be said to have returned to the front row of the music circle. Zhan Yu, who is just the boyfriend of a small artist, now makes Meng Ran the second male lead in Brother Long's movie. Zu Ning, a pure newcomer, is also a hot existence now, if he wasn't still in school, he would probably have become popular a long time ago. Yun Long of the same company also sang with Meng Ran a lot of popularity. If she seizes this opportunity, she will definitely be able to be reborn. As for appointing Meng Ran as her agent, the biggest selfishness is that the agent is generally responsible for his own artists, and she hopes that Meng Ran will be attentive to her.
Meng Ran is not a fool, he also knows Li Xiaoxi's thoughts. But now he can't do it himself like he took Dimuti, so he can only arrange work for her behind the scenes, and the rest can only be handed over to the executive agent.
Meng Ran told Li Xiaoxi what he thought, and Li Xiaoxi could understand. The two sides reached an agreement to achieve a win-win situation, and the way back was a lot easier. When he arrived at the company, Meng Ran explained the situation to the two companies that Li Xiaoxi negotiated, and the two companies on the other side still gave a good understanding of face. took Li Xiaoxi to Yang Xi's office, and told Yang Xi about the matter, Yang Xi happily agreed, and said to Meng Ran: "Yes, anyway, you can't run out of Jiayu inside and out, it's not a job." It just so happens that Xiaoxi went to you, and you can still write songs for her, and music and acting blossom at the same time, which is good, isn't it? ”
Yang Xi nodded and it was easy to do, and when he arrived at Meng Ran's office, Li Xiaoxi signed a contract with Meng Ran very happily. The original contract is still valid, and Li Xiaoxi is still Jiayu's artist at the end of this month, but she will be an artist in Meng Ran's studio from next month.
The contract in duplicate was signed with the names of two people, and Li Xiaoxi's five-year contract was signed. Meng Ran told Li Xiaoxi about the broker: "Now I don't have a suitable agent here, if your original agent thinks it is suitable, you can still use the original agent, if you think it is not good, I will find you a new execution agent before the beginning of next month, what do you think?" ”
Li Xiaoxi naturally wants a new agent, and her previous agent can be said to be the most Buddhist in Quan Jiayu Media. Drag as much work as you can procrastinate, and don't go if you can. If you really can't delay it, then you will be about half an hour late. In the name of beauty, it will be valued by the other party, but in fact, it will be scolded miserably!
