Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and asked: "Sister Kang, Lu Mengying's acting skills are indeed good, and she has great potential in the future. She is also a relatively smart type. Tian Lin, Wang Ruozhou and Sun Feifei are all vying for her. .Now that she has taken the initiative to send it to your door, Sister Kang, why don’t you consider it?”
Kang Hui sipped the coffee on the table, changed his hand to hold the mobile phone, and explained slowly: "Your contract with Shenmeng Agency will expire in only one and a half years. In other words, one year After half the time, you will definitely set up your own studio.
So, have you ever considered this question? Will the studio you establish in the future plan to be affiliated under the Shenmeng brand, or will you go out completely independently and register a company? "
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and did not come up with an answer right away: "Sister Kang, we have to consider this matter in the long term. To be honest, I haven't considered this issue yet, but Sister Kang, do you suggest that we should be affiliated or completely independent? "
Kang Hui smiled easily and said: "We will make a detailed analysis based on the situation at that time as to how to choose. However, no matter which method we choose, I am not suitable to sign Lu Mengying.
If we choose a studio affiliated with Shenmeng Agency in the future, can you ensure that when our team becomes independent, can Shenmeng’s boss Zhang Jianzhang still allow Lu Mengying to be in our team? He must be unwilling ten thousand times unless we are willing to bear the corresponding price.
If we choose to have an independent studio in the future, your contract with Shenmeng will last for more than a year. Do you think Zhang Jianzhang may sign a one-and-a-half-year agency contract with Lu Mengying? How will we deal with Lu Mengying’s liquidated damages at that time
If we do not pay liquidated damages for Lu Mengying, then we will only have been working with her for a year and a half. Her career has just started and we need to invest resources. And her output will not be high. Efforts and gains will not be directly proportional.
In addition, we have just established an independent studio and have taken away artists from the previous company, which will affect your overall reputation in the entertainment industry. "
Chen Minhao nodded and praised Kang Hui for his thoughtfulness.
Kang Hui chuckled and said, "We look at things from different angles. I'm from the perspective of an agent, and you're from the perspective of an artist.
Moreover, Lu Mengying has never met me, but after getting to know you, she took the initiative to sign under me, which shows that you are very powerful.
By the way, your whole drama will be finished soon, right? "
"Well," Chen Minhao said, "If nothing goes wrong, according to the current shooting plan, the entire film should be completed within two or three days."
It is already early March, and Beijing Film Academy has already started school for a week. Chen Minhao was originally worried about the crew's progress, so he asked for two weeks of leave in advance.
Thinking of this, Kang smiled and asked: "After the filming is completed, do you plan to go back to school as soon as possible, or take a few days off? I, Chen Qiang, said that the entire crew has been working hard to make progress. You have been very tired recently. Thank you for your hard work. ."
"I plan to rest for a few days." Chen Minhao said without thinking. Thinking that he was still filming in Curry Country during the Chinese New Year this year, he then added: "I plan to go back to my hometown to stay with my parents. After all, I didn't go back during the Chinese New Year. And the rest of this year is probably going to be very busy. If I don’t do it this time, I won’t be able to spare any time in the future.”
Kang Hui nodded and said: "Very good, let's arrange it this way. But I'm busy these days, so I won't go to your final banquet. Let's get together again when you come back."
… …
The next day, after the crew finished work, Chen Minhao asked Chen Qiang to invite Lu Mengying to take the same bus back to the hotel as him. Lu Mengying smiled and nodded in agreement.
Maybe it was because the other three were rushing to get Lu Mengying, but Lu Mengying never thought that a brokerage company would reject her.
Therefore, Lu Mengying couldn't wait to ask as soon as she got in the car: "When will your agent come? I think it is best to communicate in person about the details of the contract."
Chen Minhao sighed in his heart: It's time for you to understand that the entertainment industry is not always smooth sailing.
In fact, during the break between filming today, Chen Minhao has been thinking about how to tell Lu Mengying about this matter.
After more than twenty days of getting along, Chen Minhao thought that he understood Lu Mengying better, so he felt that there was no need to tactfully reject Lu Mengying with any excuses.
Because even if Lu Mengying can't see it now, after a while, when she learns more information, she will definitely know the real reason why she was rejected.
Chen Minhao decided to speak openly. He erased the content that needed to be kept confidential and relayed the reason for Kang Hui's rejection to her candidly and clearly.
After hearing Chen Minhao's words, Lu Mengying's expression became very sad.
The car suddenly became a little quiet, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
A few hundred meters away from the hotel, Lu Mengying suddenly asked: "I don't want to join any agency now. Can I join your studio in a year and a half?"
Chen Minhao's mind didn't turn around at once, thinking: Ah, what is she planning? The studio that was established a year and a half later still has no horoscope, and by then the company he just established should be in a state of prosperity. Is it because he wants to experience the hardships of starting a business
Did she really fall for the joke I made in the dressing room? She was attracted to my appearance.
Lu Mengying explained with a smile: "After your agent rejected me, I was very sad at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I think you are more reliable. And I am now a junior, so I am not in a hurry. The rest I plan to spend a year on drama and polish my acting skills.
Moreover, I heard that "Detective" is scheduled to be released in the summer vacation. If the box office is okay, I don't think I will be short of scripts, let alone an agency.
However, I still prefer to sign your studio after one year. After your agent refuses, I think you are more reliable in doing things. Not looking for short-term benefits, but looking for long-term value. I think this is very important for an artist. "
Chen Minhao nodded with a smile and said, "You have a very clear view."
In fact, none of the celebrities who have made their mark in the entertainment industry are fools. But there will be two kinds of people, one is smart but not very wise. They look at short-term interests and returns, and do not hesitate to make quick money, and they do not hesitate to stab their best friends for some opportunities.
But there are some celebrities who have great wisdom and know what they want in the long term and pursue it purposefully.
