Raymond and Badman are already on a plane to other cities to promote "Makeover".

And Tang De's life is finally calmer, without the noisy and unkind eyes that can be seen everywhere in the black neighborhood, walking in the white neighborhood seems more relaxed.

Donde's plan today is very simple, to go to the magazine "New York Underground Art" and resign.

He is not short of job opportunities now, but is starting to run out of time.

However, when he arrived at the magazine, he realized that something was wrong.

The staff looked at themselves strangely, a kind of schadenfreude that contained sympathy.

"Hey, Donde, you're here." Hawke, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, wore a green shirt and a red baseball cap on his head, poking straight in front of the studio like a human-shaped stand, and he immediately greeted Tang De warmly when he saw him.

"Hawke, what's wrong?" Tang De was a little puzzled, this was not Hawke's character, and he would usually let others call him if he wanted to find himself

Hawke nodded, took the initiative to reach out and put his arm around Donde's shoulder, and said while pacing him: "The magazine has been selling like crazy recently, and we plan to supplement it." ”

"That's a good thing." Don nodded his head.

"So Donde, you're going to shoot some inside pages next." Hawke spoke with some slurring.

"What do you mean? Hawke, straight to the point. Don didn't want to listen to his twists and turns.

Hawke took a deep breath: "Well, that's right, Donde. Lisa has been accusing her of verbal violence against her all this time, which makes her very upset and ...... Bewilderment. She said that she might not be up to your requirements and that she would be very nervous every time she faced your camera, so I was going to let you shoot for other models. ”

Tang De's eyebrows furrowed: "So I'm no longer in charge of cover shooting, right?" ”

"That's right, that's how it was decided for the time being." Hawk patted him on the shoulder: "But I will give you the prize money during this time, don't worry." ”

Feel relieved?

Magazines are based on the importance of the page, and the price of the cover and inside pages can be different.

"Forget it, Hawke......" Tang De was just about to say about his resignation, when he heard the clatter of high heels from the opposite side.

And then there was a yin and yang strange voice.

"Oh? Why is Donde still here, Hawke, I said I was going to change the photographer, right? It was the female model, Lisa, who sounded uncomfortable with a slight smug tone in her tone.

Tang De turned his gaze and couldn't help but "tsk" when he found that she was wearing a purple polka dot skirt with a purple low-cut top.

Then he looked Lisa up and down again, and wondered, "Do you want to shock me by making a fool of yourself?" ”

"What?" Lisa was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Tang De to be so polite.

"Of course it's ugly, like a big purple toad cooing in front of me." Don shrugged.

"Tang De, how can you be so mean?" Hawke's face was a little uncontrollable: "I know you're angry......"

"No, I'm not angry at all, actually." Tang Deman said indifferently: "I'm here to resign today, Hawke, I'm quitting." ”

"What are you kidding?" Hawke was taken aback, although he didn't like Donde's attitude towards Lisa, but Donde's professional ability was excellent, and he was the person the magazine needed.

"No kidding, remember to tie my winnings to me and go." Tang De didn't bother to pay attention to them, feeling that it was a waste of time to talk to them more.

After Tang De left, the two gradually came back to their senses, and Lisa hugged her arms angrily: "I'm so angry, toad?" He really doesn't have a vision. ”

Lisa looked at her chest, a large snow-white was being tightened inside her clothes.

Although Hawke regretted it, now that the wood was in the boat, his mouth hardened: "I don't care, dear, sales will tell everything." ”

"Humph!" Lisa turned around and walked towards the studio with her high heels on her heels.

And after Tang De left the magazine, he drove straight to CAA, and the matter of Hawke and Lisa was not put into his heart at all.

He still has a very important thing to do today, and that is to negotiate with the CAA.

Today is the date of the end of the CAA evaluation, and on the phone they invited Tang De to the company to talk about the specific contract signed.

Upon arriving at CAA's own building, he was led by the reception staff to meet Mike Siegel, the agent that CAA had arranged for him.

White, male, hooked nose, doesn't look very easy to get along with.

However, after seeing Tang De, a smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "I'm your agent, just call me Mike." ”

"Hello." Don De sat down.

"This is your contract, take a look at it first, and I'll explain it to you later."

"Can I take it and show it to my lawyer first?" Attorney Kirk suffers from sleep apnea and is now being treated, and while it doesn't interfere with daily processing, it's not very convenient to run around.

"Absolutely." Mike spread his hands: "You can wait until you confirm that we will sign the contract." ”

"But it's better to do it as soon as possible." Mike sold a pass: "Because there's been a nice opportunity lately." ”

"What chance?" Donde's curiosity was hooked by him.

Mike explained, "Do you know the Destiny True Maiden? ”

"Destiny True Girls, of course I know, they were hot in the first two years."

Tang De, such a famous group, remembers clearly, not only that their song sales have reached the top of the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom, but also because Beyoncé and Kylie Rowland came out of this group.

Sure enough, Mike's opportunity is related to Kelly Loren.

"Yes, but now they're semi-disbanded. But Kylie and Nelly recently collaborated on a single that was just in time for the MV shooting. ”

Nelly, a black hip-hop singer who just won the American Music Award for Most Popular Rap/Hip-Hop Artist this year, is in hot demand, but not comparable to Raymond's guy.

And the song that Kelly and Nelly collaborated on, if I remember correctly, must be the song "Dilemma", which is his childhood memory, I think it was popular all over the world back then, and my ears could afford to listen to cocoons.

The song also won a Grammy Award this year, making Kelly Rowland famous, and this is definitely the perfect opportunity! Don't miss out!

Except for the MV, to be honest, the original MV was really boring, it was a simple duet in a black neighborhood, both the camera and the picture were lackluster.

And this is also Tang De's strength.

It's just that Mike continued: "It's a pity that you're late, and the director has already been confirmed, so I can't help you fight for this position, you can only be a photographer." ”

CAA's definition of Tang De is two identities, senior photographer and MV director.

This is conducive to Tang De's access to different resources, and will not let him be trapped in the identity of a photographer.

"Photographers can too, then I'll finalize the contract tonight." Although Tang De has some regrets, he is not completely dead in his heart, no matter what, he will get this position first.

"It's great, and then I'll talk to you about the cooperation model."

Mike said here and opened the contract: "Our packaging service, the current method is premium commission. ”

"Premium rake?"

"Yes, we will set a base price for you internally, which is mainly to facilitate our integration of resources to determine the cost, which is equivalent to your fixed salary.

"And the overall package price of the project is often at a premium, you know? If the cost is 500,000 and the final package price is 1 million, then this 500,000 is the premium. And our percentage is 10 percent. That is, if there is a premium of half a thousand, we will take fifty thousand dollars. ”

"What about the others?"

"The rest will be distributed according to the proportion of the entire cost occupied by each person in the crew. Of course, generally speaking, actors take the most. ”

Tang De raised his eyebrows when he heard this, this plan sounds really exciting, no wonder so many celebrities are willing to sign a contract with CAA.

To put it bluntly, this is a traditional broker service with Internet thinking, except for the customer who was wronged, the rest of the people have won.

However, this model has attracted a large number of practitioners and celebrities, resulting in the rise of CAA's bargaining power, and now occupies a large share of the market.

While other companies have started to take this approach, it is generally not as mature as CAA.

After talking to Mike, he went to Lawyer Kirk, and after making sure that the contract was okay, Don officially signed with CAA.
