The next day, Cheng Xia set an alarm clock for 7 o'clock in the morning, got up, washed and ate quickly, and carefully arranged his clothes in front of the mirror.
The jeans his mother chose for him fit him perfectly. They were paired with a camel cashmere sweater and a white down jacket. Although this kind of outfit was not particularly brilliant in the cold winter, it would never go wrong.
Cheng Xia got dressed, and Jiang Qiong found another scarf and handed it to him: "The temperature has cooled in the past few days, so put on the scarf. By the way, it's not easy to take a taxi during the rush hour..." She turned her head and shouted towards the kitchen: "Old man Cheng, why don't you drive your son there?"
Cheng Yiming stuck his head out: "Okay, I'm free anyway."
Cheng Xia said while wearing a scarf: "Mom, I have an appointment with the agent at 8:30, and there is still more than an hour, so I don't need to send it..."
Cheng Yiming wiped his hands and came out of the kitchen, looked his son up and down, and said solemnly: "You are just a little transparent now, and you don't have a nanny car. Dad will be the driver for you today. Come on, go there early, don't be late."
Cheng Xia had to obediently follow him out.
Just leaning over to change shoes, Jiang Qiong suddenly asked, "By the way, Xia Xia, I've packed the down jacket. When will you return it to the senior?"
Cheng Xia's heart jumped - the down jacket belongs to Boss Pei, and he will meet Boss Pei today, but he can't return the clothes to the boss in front of so many people in the company, and he will definitely gossip when he is seen. The down jacket has to be returned privately. If it is really inconvenient, then ask President Pei to ask for an address and deliver it there? Thinking of this, Cheng Xia said, "Mom, please help me to put it away first. I'll ask the senior when I want it."
Jiang Qiong glanced at the special trademark on the collar of the down jacket. This brand is an international first-line designer brand, and it is very valuable. Of course, it is not uncommon for children from rich families to be among the students of the film school. Does Xia Chuan really just "look at Cheng Xia as a younger brother"
Jiang Qiong always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't dismantle her son, and silently put away the down jacket.
Cheng Yiming drove his son to Tianxuan Building.
It was snowing and the road was slippery. He drove slowly. It was past eight o'clock when he arrived at the company. Cheng Xia got out of the car and waved goodbye to his father. A black car happened to be driving over. Cheng Xia turned her back to the side of the road and did not notice that it was President Pei's car.
Pei Shaoze saw the boy standing in the snow at a glance.
Wearing a white down jacket and black jeans, the teenager was waving at the driver of an off-road vehicle with a smile on his face. The other party lowered the car window and warned: "If you are wronged in the company, you must tell Dad when you go home!"
Cheng Xia said with a smile: "I know Dad, go back and drive slowly on the road!"
Pei Shaoze saw the driver's profile from the rolled down car window. The middle-aged man had tough features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very serious - this is Cheng Xia's father, Cheng Yiming
Cheng Yiming in the original book was angry to death, he loved Cheng Xia very much, and his son who was finally raised was abused and bullied. The nude photos were spread all over the Internet, and the abusive letters from netizens were even sent to their homes... Self-blame, guilt, pain, This made the righteous father unable to be ill, and also made Cheng Xia completely blackened under the sadness.
Now looking at Cheng Xia's bright smile when saying goodbye to his father, Pei Shaoze is even more determined to protect this young man.
Not only Cheng Xia, but also Cheng Xia's family.
He didn't want Cheng Xia's father to die in guilt, nor would Cheng Xia's mother die in despair. Now that you know the plot of the original work, you should arrange it in advance to prevent all bad things from happening.
Pei Shaoze withdrew his gaze, did not disturb Cheng Xia to say goodbye to his father, and drove his car around.
At the same time, Zhou Yan received a message from Cheng Xia and went downstairs to pick up the person in person.
After seeing the teenager waiting at the door of the company, Zhou Yan couldn't help but be stunned - there were many photos of Cheng Xia in the information that President Pei gave her before. Today is the first time she saw the real person up close. She thinks that Cheng Xia is much prettier than the photos. .
There is no shortage of handsome guys and beauties in the entertainment industry, but Cheng Xia feels very special. His handsomeness is not aggressive, nor does he have that distant sense of alienation. The young man is handsome and bright, especially when he laughs, that pure and bright smile can melt all the estrangements in people's hearts, like a little sun, making people feel warm and kind.
The first impression is really important, she saw Cheng Xia at first sight - this kid can be popular!
No wonder the company's talent scouts signed Cheng Xia, apparently attracted by Cheng Xia's outstanding appearance.
Cheng Xia was also looking at the person in front of him—he was nearly 1.7 meters tall, thin, with very white skin, with short ear-length hair, wearing a knee-length black coat, high leather boots, and the hem of the coat followed the wind when he walked. Flying and valiant, she looks like the kind of woman who does things very neatly.
Seeing the woman looking at herself, Cheng Xia asked tentatively, "Sister Yan?"
A smile immediately opened on Zhou Yan's face: "Hello, Cheng Xia, I'm very happy to be your manager." She reached out her hand, and Cheng Xia also shook her hand politely: "I will invite Sister Yan in the future. Take care!"
"Let's take care of each other, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Zhou Yan withdrew her hand, without much nonsense, and led him into Tianxuan Building: "The Legal Department is on the 11th floor, I've already said hello there, let's go over to see the contract first. "
Cheng Xia followed behind her and took the elevator to the Legal Department on the 11th floor.
Zhang Fan was waiting at the door of the office, and when he saw them, he took the initiative to greet them: "Sister Yan, is this Cheng Xia? President Pei asked me to pick you up and go to the office to find him after signing the contract."
Zhou Yan said politely, "Assistant Zhang has worked hard."
Cheng Xia was taken into the office. The heating was on in the company, and he took off his down jacket because it was so hot that Zhou Yan took over his clothes. Cheng Xiachao's agent sister smiled, and Zhou Yan smiled back and said, "Look at the contract carefully, and ask me if you don't understand."
The people from the legal department quickly brought over the printed contract.
Cheng Xia sat in the rest area and read page by page carefully, but Zhou Yan did not urge him.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly pointed to one of the pages: "Sister Yan, I don't quite understand it here..."
Zhou Yan followed his fingers and explained carefully: "This is the contract that Mr. Pei asked the legal affairs to revise. The division is calculated according to different projects. The film and television drama remuneration is 60% for the artist and 40% for the company. Although the film and television drama is the company to help you contact, but The filming process is very hard, so you take the big buck. Other projects like commercial performances, advertisements, print magazines, etc., the company contributes more, so the company takes 60%, and you take 40%. When you become famous later, the proportion will be divided. It can also be improved in stages.”
The new version of the contract does not set the share to death, but stipulates that a supplementary agreement is signed every other year. Eighty-nine in film and television, and the other four or six are the ratios taken by newcomers. As the artist becomes more and more popular and famous, the share received will also increase accordingly. If you are not satisfied with the share, you can renegotiate with the company every other year. In this way, those famous stars will not quit because of "unfair treatment", and newcomers will have a stronger sense of belonging to Tianxuan.
The new version of the contract that Mr. Pei asked the legal affairs to modify is very flexible and humane. It is much better than the past contract that lasts for eight years and ten years, and also stipulates that it is dead.
Cheng Xia read the contract carefully: "I have no opinion."
Zhou Yan confirmed: "You can sign in five years, do you have any opinion on the time?"
Cheng Xia shook his head: "No. It takes time to cultivate an artist, and a five-year cycle is not too long."
Zhou Yan smiled: "No problem, then sign it. After signing, copy the ID card, and we will take the contract and ask President Pei to sign it. He is your top leader now."
***
Zhou Yan took Cheng Xia and took the VIP elevator with Zhang Fan to the top floor.
Zhang Fan knocked on the door lightly, and a man's low voice sounded in his ears: "Come in."
Cheng Xia took a deep breath and walked into the office with the agent.
Pei Shaoze was reading documents at his desk, and when he heard footsteps, he raised his head.
Cheng Xia's gaze slammed into a pair of familiar eyes unexpectedly.
The two looked at each other across the air, and Cheng Xia couldn't help being stunned—
Sitting in the office, Alpha was wearing a very formal dark gray suit, a white shirt buttoned all the way to the top, and a standard Windsor knot tie. The bangs were combed up, revealing a smooth forehead and a pair of beautiful sword eyebrows.
Alpha's appearance is already handsome, and this hairstyle makes the lines of his entire face appear sharper and tougher, a little less condescending, but a little more stable and mature. Coupled with the decoration of a suit and tie, the Alpha in front of him is full of inviolable abstinence.
Compared to the first time we met, Pei Shaoze, who was sitting in the office today, was so aura that Cheng Xia didn't dare to approach him for a while.
Zhou Yan took the initiative to introduce: "President Pei, I brought Cheng Xia." She looked back at Cheng Xia, "This is President Pei." She motioned Cheng Xia to say hello with her eyes.
Cheng Xia and Pei Shaoze had met for a long time, and it was a very bad meeting with naked bodies and out of control of pheromones.
Thinking of the picture that night, Cheng Xia felt a little guilty, but she took a step forward and asked obediently, "Boss Pei is good."
Seeing the boy tensed up as if being called by the teacher, Pei Shaoze raised his lips slightly, and his voice was rarely gentle: "Don't be nervous. Come here, sit down and talk."
Cheng Xia had no choice but to walk over and sit down on the sofa.
Zhou Yan handed over the contract to President Pei: "Cheng Xia's contract has been signed."
Pei Shaoze took it and glanced at the signature on the last page.
Cheng Xia's signature was stroke by stroke, round and round, and it was quite cute.
Pei Shaoze asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you don't understand about the terms of the contract?"
The man's eyes fell on him, Cheng Xia realized that he was asking himself, and hurriedly said, "No problem, Sister Yan has explained it to me in detail."
"That's good." Pei Shaoze picked up the pen, signed his name neatly on several contracts, and handed it to Zhang Fan: "Go to the legal affairs department to get the official seal, the company will keep two copies, and the agent will give one to Cheng Xia. keep one."
Zhang Fan went to work diligently.
Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia and asked, "Tianxuan has many directions for the cultivation of its artists, including music, variety shows, and film and television. What are your thoughts on the future?"
When it came to business, Cheng Xia immediately got serious and said without hesitation, "I want to be an actor."
Pei Shaoze asked, "Why?"
Cheng Xia answered seriously: "I'm not afraid of Mr. Pei's jokes, it's my dream to be an actor since I was a child. My father is an actor, I grew up watching his movies, and I also want to play different roles like him. Of course. , I only studied in the film school for a year, and my acting skills will definitely be relatively unfamiliar, but as long as the company gives me a chance, I will definitely work hard and hone it hard!"
Sure enough, the mention of acting made the boy's eyes brighten.
He really likes the industry.
Pei Shaoze nodded, and handed Zhou Yan the folder that had been sorted out long ago: "This book is a very popular campus novel. Tianxuan has already won the copyright and has not had time to shoot. You go back and let the newcomers carefully Read the materials again, and after a while, I will arrange it here, and then bring them to the audition."
Does the boss mean to set up a project to shoot a school drama? Did she get it right? !
Zhou Yan was very excited, but her years of work experience still made her calm down quickly. She stepped forward to take the folder respectfully, and asked, "Mr. Pei, do the newcomers in our group have a chance in this school drama?"
"Well, the dramas I personally invested in are best performed by artists from our group. Unless they perform too badly, I will consider selecting people from outside." Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia and said calmly, "Cheng Xia, you Go back and get ready."
Cheng Xia stood up immediately and said, "I will, thank you, President Pei!"
The company wants to invest in the filming of campus dramas, and such a good opportunity is in front of him. He must study hard when he goes back, and strive to win an important role!
