Chapter 13: Eight Years (Asking for Collections, Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Gu Bei and Shi Rong had a smooth talk, and the pony galloping was worthy of being an existence with an excellent reputation, and he did not put forward any harsh conditions for Gu Bei, of course, Gu Bei, who was a newcomer, could not get any preferential treatment.
There are dozens of large and small clauses, Gu Bei has looked at them carefully for a long time, and the intention of cooperation has basically been determined, but there is still a buffer period before the official signing, giving Gu Bei time to think clearly, and also giving Pony Galloping time to learn more about Gu Bei.
With the printed first version of the contract, Gu Bei contacted Zhang Jiayi, and Gu Bei didn't want to trouble Zhang Jiayi again and again, after all, Zhang Jiayi also had his own affairs, but in the circle, Gu Bei knew only Zhang Jiayi who was a little bit of a level, so Gu Bei cheekily called Zhang Jiayi.
Zhang Jiayi didn't bother Gu Bei, and made an appointment with Gu Bei when he said a location, Gu Bei didn't beat around the bush when he saw Zhang Jiayi, told the ins and outs of the matter, and handed the contract to Zhang Jiayi.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Jiayi raised his head: "There is nothing wrong with the contract, it's just that Pony Galloping is not a professional brokerage company, and it has just stepped into film and television production, although the reputation is very good, but the road after you enter may not be easy, but it may also soar." ”
"Brother Jiayi, I know, but I still have a problem that I can't make up my mind, that is, the number of years of contract." Gu Bei paused slightly, and then said, "Pony Galloping is preparing a TV series, because there is an agreement, I can't show you the script, but after I read the script, I think it's very good, they also give me two signing models, one is five years, this drama gives me a position of male number three, and the other is eight years, help me fight for the number one male number." ”
"Only this one play?" Zhang Jiayi pondered for a moment and said, "Although eight years is a long time, plus you need to prepare for the exam this year, and there are four years of college, in fact, it is only a three-year contract. ”
"I'm very optimistic about that script, and I also like the role of the male one, but eight years is really too long." Gu Bei learned from the HC old demon that the mainland entertainment industry would undergo earth-shaking changes, and if he tied himself to a pony galloping for eight years, Gu Bei didn't know what the situation would be in the future.
"Help you fight for the first man, and increase the signing time to eight years, the meaning of this is also obvious, it is to praise you." Zhang Jiayi analyzed for Gu Bei very seriously, "Pony Galloping didn't have an artist who took a shot, this time the TV series is likely to be filmed in cooperation with other companies, and it is also an artist from other companies, but if you sign a contract, the situation will be different, and these resources will definitely give priority to your own people, that is, to support you, in that way, naturally you don't have to worry about you not filming, but if Pony Galloping really starts to support you, you will be subject to a lot of restrictions." ”
"I also have this kind of worry, I have also heard a lot of things in the circle over the years, I am afraid that if I refuse certain roles, it will make some people unhappy, and then use this eight-year contract to hide me, and I will be free when the contract period expires, but it is estimated that there will not be many people coming to me to film by then." Gu Bei looked at Zhang Jiayi with some indecision, "I'm thinking, if you want to sign for five years." ”
Zhang Jiayi waved his hand and said: "There is no need to sign the five-year contract and the male number three, you need to focus on your studies for a large part of the five years, the male number three is to give you the opportunity to test the waters, if the market response is good, it will arrange better resources for you, if the response is mediocre, you may only be given some roles that are not embarrassing or embarrassing in the future, rather than this, it is better to find a way after you finish your studies, at that time, you can choose a lot, so there is no need to sign for five years." Now you need to consider an eight-year contract, which may have a higher starting point than others if you sign it, or you may fall into it, and if you don't sign it, you will just stand on the same starting line. ”
"Eight years ......" Gu Bei pursed his lips, he was really reluctant to play the role of Yang Zheng, the male number one in "Carry Love to the End", and he was reluctant to meet this unavoidable opportunity.
Zhang Jiayi looked at Gu Bei, smiled and sighed: "This is a pie in the sky, the first time I received a play was in 90, I was still in school in Beiying, and the play I received was "Magic Table", a children's science fiction theme, just received at that time, my mood may be the same as you are now, I took it without thinking much, and then I slowly found out that I was not suitable for such a role, so no one noticed me, and in the next seven or eight years, not many people asked me to film, of course, this is also related to my work in the West Film Studio, But it does have an impact. ”
"Brother Jia Yi means to calm myself down and think about it carefully?"
"That's what it means, it's not good to get carried away with joy." Zhang Jiayi didn't want to give Gu Bei a clear suggestion, but just put forward some of his own opinions from his own experience, "But you are still very young, although eight years is long, but you also have the opportunity to fight, how you plan to do it depends on yourself." ”
"Brother Jiayi, I understand, go back, I'll think about it again." Gu Bei nodded very instructively, "Brother Jiayi, I'm sorry for you." ”
"It's nothing, I'm not usually busy." Zhang Jiayi smiled indifferently, "I just have something to tell you, I will go back to my hometown in a while, and I may not come to Beiping for development in the past few years." ”
"Brother Jia Yi is going to work at the West Film Studio?" Gu Bei knew that Zhang Jiayi was assigned to the unit, but in the memory of the HC old demon, the West Film Studio would be reorganized into the West Film Group in a few years, and Zhang Jiayi would not be much good for long-term development if he went back at this time.
"It's almost, or in the cabaret theater, the treatment is pretty good."
Gu Bei was inconvenient to explain the existence of the HC old demon, just like the concern between friends, and said: "Brother Jiayi, in fact, you are more suitable to be an actor, and it may be better for you to enter this industry directly." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jiayi patted Gu Bei's shoulder with a smile: "Okay, my side is very stable, at least there won't be any difficulties in life, worry more about your future path, come on!" ”
You work in the Western Film Studio, and you will come back as an actor in a few years...... Gu Bei still had a sentence in his heart that he couldn't say to Zhang Jiayi.
"Brother Jiayi, if I have the ability in the future, I will definitely find you to film and make a good show." Gu Bei looked at Zhang Jiayi, who was like the big brother next door, and said very firmly.
Zhang Jiayi was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Bei suddenly being so serious, but quickly nodded: "Okay, I'll wait, but I said in advance, it's not the male number one, don't ask me to act." ”
"Proper male number one."
Saying goodbye to Zhang Jiayi, Gu Bei returned to his home and thought for many days, wandering between the two options of signing a contract for eight years and finding a chance to sign a contract later, Gu Bei didn't want to deny that he was moved by the temptation of this red fruit, and he was more inclined to sign a contract in his heart, and comforted himself with the fact that he was still young.
On the appointed day, Gu Bei once again came to the Pony Galloping Company, Shi Rong also got to know Gu Bei in private, and did not find anything inappropriate, but felt that Gu Bei's life experience was very suitable for packaging, and secretly expected Gu Bei to choose an eight-year long contract, Pony Gallop is too lacking in representative artists.
"Gu Bei, what do you think?"
Gu Bei's throat moved, and he said, "Eight years." ”
In this way, Gu Bei signed his first acting contract, from October 97 to October 2005, a long contract of eight years.
After the real signing, Shi Rong vaguely revealed his intention to support Gu Bei, but before Gu Bei's college entrance examination, Gu Bei will only be arranged to undergo a series of training, acting, vocal music and the business ability that an artist should have, Shi Rong's idea is to let Gu Bei be successfully admitted to film and television performance, and before the official launch of Gu Bei, "Love to the End" is a stepping stone for Gu Bei to step into the entertainment industry.
It just so happens that "Carry on Love to the End" is planned to start filming in the summer and autumn of 98, Gu Bei has just finished the college entrance examination, and from this moment on, he will start training for non-acting, and his performance ability will be improved, and Gu Bei will be more likely to get the male number one Yang Zheng at that time.
The training Gu Bei was looking for on his side naturally stopped, Shi Rong would arrange everything for Gu Bei, and without this part of the expenditure, Gu Bei was also a lot easier, Shi Rong considered that Gu Bei might have no income for a long time, plus a signing fee of 5,000 yuan a year, which was paid to Gu Bei's account on an annual basis, and the price of getting this money was that Gu Bei's acting share was reduced a little.
After that, Gu Bei's life became more and more monotonous, completely revolving around going to school and training, Shi Rong only gave Gu Bei half a day off every month, and every time at this time, Gu Bei went to nag the old man and tease the teacher.
The company will not force Gu Bei, and Gu Bei also has the right to refuse, but Gu Bei, who wants to become better, has no reason to refuse.
