Who is Lu Huiping? Of course Chen Minhao knew.
If Kang Hui's status among agents is that of a fairy who can pick peaches from heaven, Lu Huiping's status among agents is that of the Queen Mother who owns a peach orchard.
Being an agent is a completely money-oriented profession, so generally speaking, whichever agent leads artists with higher commercial value will have a higher status.
Lu Huiping once worked for Yang Miaozhen, the female star with the highest commercial value in China. During their cooperation, Yang Miaozhen went from a second-tier star to the female star with the highest commercial value.
However, the honeymoon period between the two was short-lived. After the two broke up amicably, Lu Huiping established her own studio and used similar techniques to make several celebrities famous. Now the male celebrities with the highest commercial value in China are also personally managed by her. .
Chen Minhao thought about it and decided to meet Lu Huiping. He wanted to know what this agent, who was rumored to be so much more powerful than Kang Hui, looked like? Could it be that it has three heads and six arms
Saturday, Zizhuyuan Tea House
The place where Lu Huiping and Chen Minhao met was in a teahouse. The appearance of the teahouse looked like an academy. As soon as Chen Minhao arrived at the door, a waiter came to greet him and asked, "Do you have a reservation?"
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Ms. Lu."
The waiter smiled with eight teeth, leaned forward slightly and said, "Please come in."
After Chen Minhao walked into the teahouse, he found that there was a completely different world inside, with purple bamboos, flowing water, and flowers that should not be blooming in this season.
The waiter brought Chen Minhao to a small room, gave a slight signal, and then turned around and left.
A slightly overweight and plain-looking middle-aged woman was sitting inside making tea, wearing a floral coat.
Chen Minhao subconsciously felt that the waiter had brought him the wrong person. This "Ms. Lu" was not the "Ms. Lu" he wanted to see. Chen Minhao felt that the aunts employed in his bun shop were a bit more fashionable than the "Ms. Lu" in front of him.
But when the middle-aged woman opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Come on, you are here, please sit down and enjoy the tea I just made." Chen Minhao knew that this was the "Ms. Lu" he wanted to see, that The "three-headed and six-armed" Ms. Lu.
Height, weight, appearance, and hair accessories are obvious to each person and are signs that can be identified with the naked eye. However, some traits, such as learning ability, stress resistance, etc., although there are huge gaps between different people, It cannot be observed directly with the naked eye.
Affinity is also among them, and it is a more important one. As soon as the middle-aged woman opened her mouth, Chen Minhao knew that he was in the wrong room. Because the middle-aged woman in front of him is very friendly, it can be said that she is the most friendly person Chen Minhao has ever met in his past life.
The middle-aged woman smiled at Chen Minhao, which actually made Chen Minhao smile involuntarily.
"Come on, Xiao Chen, you can have a cup of tea I made. I think your birthday is Gemini. In fact, some people believe in zodiac signs, while others say it is pseudoscience.
But I personally believe it a little bit. Let’s take the characteristics of Gemini people: adaptable, resourceful, agile, like busyness and change. I have carefully studied your past experience, and I think you are very consistent with the characteristics of Gemini. . "
Chen Minhao smiled and did not answer her words. He only said two words: "Good tea!"
After Lu Huiping poured another cup for Chen Minhao from the fair cup, she said: "Tea is good tea, and people are good people. In fact, many people attribute your popularity to luck. Speaking of which, when you were in "The Entertainer" at the beginning , I also think it is the result of hype and operation. But after I followed it for a few issues, I found that your popularity is inevitable."
Chen Minhao's hand holding the tea paused for a moment, and Lu Huiping smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
Chen Minhao put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "I suddenly couldn't remember which trainees your company sent?"
Lu Huiping said with a smile: "Our company does not send trainees, but in this industry, we must always pay attention to the trends of the industry. But in fact, this is not what you were thinking about just now."
Chen Minhao was really stunned, because what he was thinking just now was really not this. What he was thinking just now was: hindsight, if I had known I would become popular, I would not have seen you come to me earlier.
Lu Huiping seemed to have seen what Chen Minhao was thinking, and said with a smile: "I knew you would be popular at the time, but you didn't expect that you would be so popular. You may think it's a little late for me to find you now, but I tell you You, it’s not too late.”
After listening to Lu Huiping's words, Chen Minhao really felt like he had seen a ghost. Although the logic of her judgment makes sense, she is still somewhat virtuous in being able to make this quick judgment of what she is thinking during the conversation.
With Lu Huiping's emotional intelligence, she had only one purpose in making her words clear: to show off her muscles. Let Chen Minhao know how powerful she, Lu Huiping, is. Chen Minhao also had to admit that Kang Hui's judgment of people was not as good as hers.
Lu Huiping continued to smile and said: "You are just a fish, but Shenmeng is just a small pond. This pond will restrict your development and prevent you from growing up, but I can give you a sea. I just feel that you are in Shenmeng." Meng has wronged you so much, you will be even more popular now that you are in my hands."
Lu Huiping poured herself a glass from a justice cup and said, "I found out a few days ago that you were looking at the houses in the community you rented. That community is not expensive, a house costs only 30 million, and the down payment is only 10 million.
If you rented in September and now plan to buy, it means that if you add the money spent in September and October, you will only have 10 million. If I guess correctly, you only earned 10 million in one year at Shenmeng. "
Lu Huiping leaned forward and said with a half-smile: "With me, you can buy a house in your community every month. If you don't have enough money, I will replenish it for you. Shenmeng is good, but you deserve better."
Chen Minhao also looked at her with a half-smile.
Lu Huiping continued to add: "Of course for people like you, money is definitely not your only pursuit. But you have to know that the Matthew Effect in the entertainment industry is very significant. If there is less, even what he has will be taken away. . Give him whoever has more, and tell him that more is better. Do you want to be on the side of more, or on the side of less
Just like that little girl Kang Hui, who went through a lot of effort to help you win the audition opportunity for "Detective". If you were here, I wouldn't even let you audition, and you would just play the second male lead.
As for liquidated damages, you don’t have to worry, we are quite experienced in handling this. "
Chen Minhao nodded and did not express his position. He just said: "I understand."
"Although you should have guessed what I was going to talk to you about before I came here, but since I'm telling you so much at once, I think you still need to think about it carefully. If you are interested, the terms of the contract are a minor issue. Now let’s talk about something lighter.”
Then within the next hour, Lu Huiping picked some interesting things from the entertainment industry to talk about, but she really didn't talk about anything poaching him.
Chen Minhao felt that the two chatted for about 80 minutes. He also saw the Queen Mother among the agents, and he planned to leave.
After Lu Huiping noticed that Chen Minhao wanted to leave, she said directly: "If you think something is wrong, you can go and do your work first. We will come back for tea when we have time."
Chen Minhao thought to himself, is this person the roundworm in my stomach? Oh my god.
Before Chen Minhao left, Lu Huiping said meaningfully: "I think what I just said will make you feel a bit empty, so you are not interested.
Let me ask you directly, do you want to become the top male star in China? I can help you make it happen. "
Chen Minhao shook his head without comment and left.
Lu Huiping, who has a great reputation like no one else, does have some skills. He is really good at guessing what others are thinking, but even such a good person can't guess what he wants. Chen Minhao suddenly feels that he is quite awesome.
After Chen Minhao returned home, he immediately dialed Kang Hui's number.
"Sister Kang, are you busy? There is something I want to tell you. Lu Huiping came to see me today."
Kang Hui's pretending to be calm voice came over the phone: "What then?"
"I think you can use this as a reason or bargaining chip to communicate with Zhang Jianzhang that my music management business wants to be independent."
When Kang Hui heard the words Lu Huiping, her heart went cold. Many budding newcomers in the entertainment industry were recruited by her, because Lu Huiping could indeed give something that others could not.
But Chen Minhao's last words made Kang Hui rise from the bottom to the sky again. He didn't expect that Chen Minhao would actually think of taking the blame for her.
