Chapter 81 Invitation to join
"No, it's not, it's worth doing." Zhou Cheng sat up from the floor, rubbed his old waist and couldn't help complaining.
"Who made you reach out to me in a daze." Gu Xintong said unhappily: "Your actions are a bit obscene. ”
"Cut, I've always treated you like a buddy." Zhou Cheng lay back in his chair, this is the second time she has fallen, he must practice hard, and strive to press her under next time. Hey, how do you feel that this word is a little evil.
Zhou Cheng shook his head, saw Gu Xintong's unkind gaze on the other side, and hurriedly restrained his thoughts: "I didn't expect your company to have a special rating standard?" Shouldn't they all be first-tier artists and second-tier artists? ”
Gu Xintong also understood that he was a little impulsive just now: "According to Mr. Wu's plan for the company, the artist rating is based on the standard of the famous Hollywood agency CAA, A-level is equivalent to a first-line artist, B-level is a second-tier and potential popular artist, and the company's rating for Yang Luyao is B-grade." The C-level is an ordinary artist, and C- belongs to the artists that the company believes has no development potential. ”
Gu Xintong showed a wry smile, Orange Sky has strict assessment standards for artists in terms of appearance, acting skills and development potential, and those below C will not sign.
Zhou Cheng was a little puzzled: "Such a mechanical scoring is not very accurate for artists, Sister Hua should know that the domestic entertainment industry is different from Hollywood, whether an artist can become famous, the external intervention is far greater than her own conditions." ”
"I heard from the internal staff that Sister Hua also had a lot of disputes with Mr. Wu because of this matter, and later implemented it in accordance with Mr. Wu's suggestion."
"Brother Tong, has your probationary period at Orange Sky Entertainment ended?" Zhou Cheng waited until Gu Xintong finished speaking, and suddenly asked a question that surprised her.
"Probationary period? How do you ask this? Gu Xintong thought that Zhou Cheng was laughing at her, and muttered with some displeasure: "Not yet, they asked for three months to become a regular, and I have only been in for two months." ”
Zhou Cheng knew that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't mean to mock you, I just want to invite you to my company." ”
"Invite me? You're not going to try anything, are you? Gu Xintong put the beer down and clenched his fist.
"Cut, I'm not worried that you'll lose your job and won't be able to pay my rent." Zhou Cheng glanced at her, with an expression of kindness being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Gu Xintong showed an expression of disbelief: "How could I be unemployed, Sister Hua has a good evaluation of me, and today's audition was arranged by Sister Hua." ”
"Your company looks quite formal, but in fact, there are big hidden dangers. Maybe Sister Hua will part ways with Wu Kebo, and you, a rookie agent, may be unemployed by then. Zhou Cheng clearly remembered that Wang Jinghua in another world was independent around 08, established a film and television company called "Pick Up Brokerage", and signed a bunch of celebrities, even her own son is one of them.
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Xintong looked at Zhou Cheng suspiciously, although Sister Hua and Mr. Wu also had disputes, but they had not yet broken up.
"Sister Hua is known as 'the first entertainment agent in the mainland', which should not be a boast." Zhou Cheng took a few peanuts and said while eating: "As far as I know, Sister Hua's attitude towards artists is a nanny-style way, and she will recommend resources for different artists' characteristics." I heard that Li Bingbing was reluctant to take the play "Coming Home for the New Year", but it was at her strong request that she took this play, and finally let Li Bingbing win the best actress at the Singapore Film Festival, and stood out from the crowd of actresses. ”
"I also heard about it, and then there was a saying of 'four dans and two ices'."
According to Sister Hua's character, Wu Kebo will definitely fall out if the two do this. It's the same as Sister Hua and the Huayi brothers falling out. Think about it, if Sister Hua breaks up with Orange Talent this year, what will you do with a small agent who has just joined the company? Stay, you have no resources, no artists, and Orange Sky's original agent will not pay attention to you. It's better to come to our company, start from scratch with me, share some of your original shares, maybe you can be worth more than 100 million in ten years. ”
Gu Xintong was not confused by Zhou Cheng's painting cake, put down the beer, sat up straight, and showed an expression of humble advice: "What if I go with Sister Hua?" ”
"Then it depends on how Sister Hua chooses," Zhou Cheng combined the development of another world, began to instill experience in Gu Xintong, and raised two fingers: "First of all, with the two examples of Huayi and Orange Sky, Sister Hua is afraid that she will not find a suitable company to take refuge in, even if she finds a new company, the other party will intervene in her, and dare not give her the right to control the company's artists." ”
"Can't Sister Hua start her own business? You can start a small company, why can't Sister Hua? ”
"Sister Hua is different from me." Zhou Cheng shook his head: "I started from scratch, the project is also my own, and the artist has not become famous, so I cultivate it myself little by little." Sister Hua is different, the artists in her hands have been famous for a long time and have their own needs, if Sister Hua can't meet the needs of these artists, these artists will terminate their contracts and leave in a few years. ”
"No, it won't." Gu Xintong was a little unconvinced: "Big names like Uncle Ming, Brother Jun and Sister Zhou Xun don't worry about resources at all, and many people directly come to them with scripts." When Sister Hua joins a few other artists in these collaborations, can these film and television companies cooperate with her? ”
"Unless Sister Hua can find a capital to invest in, even if other companies let her add plugs in front of a few top celebrities, they will make things difficult in terms of actors' salaries and roles in the future. After all, our circle is more about the exchange of interests, rather than coercion and inducement. ”
Seeing Gu Xintong fall into thought, Zhou Cheng continued to explain to her: "You must know that China is not Hollywood, and there is no clear division of labor like them. Hollywood belongs to the producer responsibility system, and the producer seeks investment from various film and television companies after getting the project, or the film and television company has a good project to recruit producers, and then the producer recruits directors and artists from various brokerage companies according to the actual situation of the script. That's why Hollywood gave birth to three major brokerage companies. ”
"What about domestic? Doesn't filming a film also need an artist? ”
Zhou Cheng couldn't help but shake his head at Gu Xintong's innocence, after all, the other party had just entered the industry for only two months, and helped her popularize: "Which company in our country doesn't have its own signed artist?" Artists are their own, so they can do a lot of things in terms of salary, and exaggerating the salary can not only improve the artist's coffee position, but also reduce profits and pay less taxes. So they would rather spend a lot of effort to train their own artists, or invite artists from other film and television companies, rather than looking for actors from other professional agencies. ”
"That's right, artists from other film and television companies have taken over their own plays, so they have suitable roles in the future, and they can also recommend artists on their side. No wonder the entertainment industry is called a circle. ”
"You can teach." Zhou Cheng proudly picked up another can of beer, he drank a little too much wine today, and talked a lot, seeing that Gu Xintong understood his words, he was extremely proud.
Gu Xintong said disdainfully: "ZoSenZoMe." ”
"What did you say?" Zhou Cheng asked with some confusion.
Just looking at Zhou Cheng's smug look, Gu Xintong said a word of hometown to mock him for pretending to be mysterious, and seeing that Zhou Cheng wanted to get to the bottom of it, he hurriedly changed the topic: "If I want to go to your company, what treatment will you give?" ”
"Treatment?" Zhou Cheng really didn't prepare, he also mentioned it in passing just now, seeing Gu Xintong taking it seriously, Zhou Cheng also said seriously: "The salary will not be very high, after all, we are also in the start-up stage, and I can provide accommodation for free." And as an agent, it mainly depends on the artist's brokerage commission, several newcomers in this audition have not signed a brokerage company, we can give priority to signing a contract, I believe that after the release of this drama, it will be famous in the circle, and your income will not be low at that time. A person should have goals and should be full of fighting spirit, so that he can continue to break through himself, so that there is hope in life. ”
"You're so confident in your play?" Hearing Zhou Cheng mention his project again, Gu Xintong was a little surprised.
"Yes, this play will be a success, and I will never allow it to fail." Zhou Cheng replied in comparison with the second one.
