Almost all the people left, and the following script readings could not go on.
Because of the cloud video investment in this web drama, apart from the male lead, the other main actors are all from their company.
If the company wants to divest, it will definitely take away its own actors, and Director Liu will have to find new actors.
Director Liu said to Jiang Liucheng with a reluctant expression, "Do this for today, and I'll let you know when it starts."
Jiang Liucheng said curiously: "Why do you have to use me?"
Director Liu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but just took out a cigarette and rubbed it on his hand, "You are very suitable for this role. If you play it, you will definitely achieve the effect I want."
Jiang Liucheng felt that he was too optimistic about herself.
Director Liu can probably guess what he was thinking, some feelings are hard to say, probably just a kind of intuition, but he put all his wealth on this web drama, sold the house, bought the novel copyright of the web drama, and now he Only this time, he must be more cautious.
After saying goodbye to Director Liu, they took the elevator down again.
"What's going on?" Li Qiu couldn't hold back anymore.
Jiang Liucheng said, "It's exactly what you think."
Li Qiuke said, "This Mo's entertainment is too shameless. Yesterday they bribed the trolls to hack you into the hot search, and this time they want to get rid of your resources. Why are they so haunted?"
Jiang Liucheng smiled.
Li Qiu also said: "How can you still laugh? If Cloud Video withdraws its capital, it is very likely that this online drama will not be able to be filmed. Online dramas are inherently risky. Now that Mo's Entertainment is obstructing it, the probability of losing money is even greater. gone."
Jiang Liucheng said disapprovingly: "Mo's Entertainment has been targeting me, but when have you seen them succeed?"
Li Qiu was silent for a moment, "It seems that it has never been successful, but this time the trouble may be even greater. The gap in the withdrawal of cloud video is not so big. Even if Director Liu still has a house, it can't make up for this gap."
It takes at least tens of millions to make a web drama. Except for big companies, no one can spend so much money.
After returning to the car, after a period of silence, Li Qiu sighed again.
"It's a pity. When you said that the novel of this online drama is good, I also watched it. It is indeed very good. Although Director Liu has always insisted that the male number one must be you, I think he will compromise in the end. , the location of this show has been rented, if the filming cannot start when the start time comes, I am afraid that Director Liu will not be able to last long with his financial strength."
Jiang Liucheng hummed, "Since the reading session has been cancelled, you can call Zhou Wenbin and ask if you want to advance the meeting to today."
Li Qiu saw that he didn't want to talk, so he changed the subject cooperatively: "Okay, I'll call him now."
Zhou Wenbin who received the call readily agreed and changed the time to this afternoon.
When the appointed time came, Zhou Wenbin rushed to the meeting place and saw Jiang Liucheng and the three of them were there.
"Am I late?" He glanced at his watch and found that he was not late, ten minutes before the appointed time.
"Hi Mr. Zhong, I'm Liucheng's manager, Li Qiu." Li Qiu quickly stood up and shook hands with him, "You didn't come late, we came early."
Since they were acquaintances, Zhou Wenbin didn't have too much politeness and greetings with them, and went directly to the topic.
Seeing that he was so straightforward, Li Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Acquaintances have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can save a lot of trouble. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to negotiate, and it is easy to hurt feelings if you talk too much.
Li Qiu's heart was twisting and turning, and when he was thinking about how to speak, he heard Jiang Liucheng speak.
"If I sign a contract, what conditions can your company offer me?"
Li Qiu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked at Zhou Wenbin. Starfire Entertainment is different from other entertainment companies. This company has a deeper foundation.
Starfire Entertainment pays more attention to the cultivation of actors. They will not deliberately hype or use any shady tricks to make actors popular. As long as they are an artist they fancy, they can be mixed into the second or third tier at worst, so they have one of the best reputations in the industry. How many artists want to sign with Starfire Entertainment, but unfortunately, Starfire Entertainment's signing requirements are very high.
In fact, Li Qiu paid more attention to Xinghuo Entertainment from the very beginning, but Xinghuo Entertainment never offered them an olive branch to sign a contract.
Zhou Wenbin smiled slightly after hearing Jiang Liucheng's words.
Since he is an acquaintance, and Brother Qin pays so much attention to him, how could he let the young man suffer.
When he learned that Boss Shi was interested in young people, he revealed to Boss Shi the relationship between Brother Qin and the young people, and said that Brother Qin also agreed to sign the youth.
Because of this, Mr. Shi readily gave him the greatest authority in this matter.
Half an hour later, Zhou Wenbin got up and said goodbye to them because he had other things to do.
After seeing him off, Li Qiu's expression was a little unreal after getting in the car.
"Is this the benefit of acquaintances?"
"It also has something to do with Liucheng's strength." Li Lei, who was driving, added that he felt that the most important thing was this, otherwise, even if there were acquaintances, Spark Entertainment would not take the initiative to sign the contract.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Qiu's heart was full of pride, he felt that a bright future was waiting for him, "I can't wait now, after signing with Starfire Entertainment, I will see if Mo's Entertainment dares to mess with you again. "
Jiang Liucheng said: "You should still dare. Mo's Entertainment and Starfire Entertainment are also in competition."
Li Qiu: "...that's what I said."
Li Lei smiled.
Because there has been no good news from Director Liu.
The next day, Li Qiu took Jiang Liucheng directly to catch up with the announcement.
Two days later, Zhou Wenbin called to inform them that the contract was ready, and asked them to take some time to go to Starfire Entertainment to sign the contract.
Without saying a word, Li Qiu pulled Jiang Liucheng and rushed to Xinghuo Entertainment.
The headquarter of Starfire Entertainment is located in the busiest commercial building in the center of Yunshi City. Because celebrities often come and go, in order to avoid being disturbed, some people sneak in. The building is very strict in and out. Except for the staff, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave.
When Zhou Wenbin heard that they had arrived downstairs, he quickly came down to pick them up. When he went up, he introduced the company's situation to them. .
After going up, Zhou Wenbin took them to Mr. Shi's office.
Ever since he heard that Qin Lu and Jiang Liucheng have a good relationship, Mr. Shi has always wanted to meet Jiang Liucheng and see what kind of person can impress Qin Lu.
When he saw Jiang Liucheng, President Shi probably knew about it. In fact, he had investigated Jiang Liucheng before and knew his situation, otherwise he wouldn't want to sign with the other party.
Although Jiang Liucheng is not from a major, his resume is better than many people in the entertainment industry.
"The real person is indeed different from the photo. I probably know why Qin Lu has taken a fancy to you."
Li Qiu: "???"
The corner of Zhou Wenbin's mouth twitched. Their boss Shi has the ability to misunderstand a very normal thing. In order to prevent him from saying more misleading things, he quickly took out two contracts that had been printed long ago. , and handed it to Li Qiu: "This is the contract that was agreed before. Please take a look and sign it if there is no problem."
Li Qiu just glanced at it casually and handed the contract to Jiang Liucheng. Zhou Wenbin was taken aback by his skillful movements. Usually, if there is a manager, the manager will help the artist to read it. They seem to be the opposite.
After a while, Li Qiu asked Jiang Liucheng, "How is it?"
Jiang Liucheng nodded: "The terms are the same as what I said before, no problem, yes."
Li Qiu handed him the pen: "Then sign it."
Jiang Liucheng signed her name neatly.
Zhou Wenbin couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Aren't you a manager? Why don't you watch it, and let your artists watch it by themselves?"
Li Qiu laughed as soon as he heard it: "No, Liucheng is familiar with the law. He is very good at reading contracts. He must understand better than me. The contract he signed with Zhou Sheng Entertainment before, including the subsequent termination of the contract, was also negotiated by himself. Zhou Sheng Entertainment also compensated him a sum of money."
Zhou Wenbin looked at Jiang Liucheng with a slightly shocked expression: "You asked Zhou Sheng Entertainment to pay you a sum of money?"
Jiang Liucheng nodded, "Actually, it's not a lot. If it's too much, the boss of Zhou Sheng Entertainment would rather waste it than take it out."
Zhou Wenbin: "How did you do it?"
Jiang Liucheng: "I just played a word game on the contract."
Zhou Wenbin: "..."
He remembered Jiang Liucheng's straightforward action of signing his name just now, and couldn't help but wonder if their contract might have the same loophole.
Zhou Wenbin suppressed the doubts in his heart, "Now that you are an artist of Xinghuo, the company will find a suitable opportunity to announce it on Weibo in a few days, and then you will also post on Weibo, as well as your future development path, You also need to confirm in advance, by the way, and your recent work, you also need to report, do you have any recent work arrangements?"
Li Qiu quickly said: "As for some commercial endorsements, there was a web drama before, and it was about to join the group, but now there is a problem with that web drama, I will explain this to the company later."
Zhou Wenbin: "Okay, you go to report first, I will take Liucheng to visit the company."
Li Qiu: "Okay."
With an acquaintance like Zhou Wenbin around, Li Qiu was really relieved, and the competition among agents was fierce. Those who dragged their families into a company like them would most likely be rejected by the people in the company, if it weren't for Liu Cheng knew Qin Yingdi, it was really impossible for them to be so relaxed.
"When you come to the company in the future, if you want to rest, you can come here. These rooms are lounges for artists. The insulation is very good, so you don't have to worry about people being noisy. In addition, you are now an artist of the company. Generally, companies will rent one for artists. For accommodation, if you want to rent another place, the company will pay for it, and I suggest you change to a place with better security."
Zhou Wenbin brought Jiang Liucheng upstairs. In addition to the lounge, there are many practice rooms. They chatted while visiting.
Jiang Liucheng refused without even thinking about it, "The place I live in now is pretty good, and I just rented it, and I live with friends, so I don't plan to change it for the time being."
Zhou Wenbin didn't force it when he heard the words, "That's fine."
Jiang Liucheng suddenly asked: "Does Brother Qin have a lounge in the company?"
Zhou Wenbin: "Of course, but he hardly comes to the company now."
After visiting the company, Li Qiu was still reporting his work to the company people, so Jiang Liucheng asked Li Lei to drive him back first.
The two came to the underground garage. Li Lei was about to drive the car out when a car drove up and just blocked their way out. The black windows of the car came down, revealing a handsome face wearing sunglasses.
Jiang Liucheng saw the other party taking off his glasses and looking at him with smiling eyes, she was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect to see a man here.
