But if Jiang Se still insists on the principle of a three-year contract, without the 10% subsidy, she will still be prepared to sign a contract with Century Galaxy, which will be a huge loss.
"Perhaps you have been in this industry for too short a time and are still unclear about many things. For example, the second-tier stars of the company are managed by the second-tier agents of the company, and the company takes a commission of about 5%. The stars of our company, even the second-tier ones, have an annual income of about 30 million yuan if they have abundant resources. You can calculate how much 5% is, not to mention the first-tier stars and the gold medal agents." When he said this, he leaned back and leaned back on the chair:
"The company's top-notch agent, according to the rules, the company's commission is 50%, Miss Jiang."
The more commission an agent gets, the harder he or she will work. This is an unspoken rule in the industry: those who work harder will get more. The income of first-line stars has reached hundreds of millions. Take Cui Xing for example, he earns a lot of money for the company every year. His agent Liu Fangping is naturally no ordinary person. He graduated from Columbia University in Manhattan, New York. He was quite active during his studies and accumulated a lot of resources. After returning to China to develop his career, he has connections in all walks of life. He was able to bring many joint venture films to Cui Xing and made him famous. He is Century Galaxy's first-class gold medal agent, and his annual income is no lower than that of a second-line artist of the company.
This combination of artists and agents is also a win-win outcome.
Having said that, Luo Ao paused for a moment before slowly asking:
"You should know how much this 10% is. Now, Miss Jiang, you can consider it carefully."
If she signs a five-year contract and chooses a first-rate agent, and the company can push her to the level of a top star, making her earn hundreds of millions a year, then this 10% commission will be quite considerable.
Luo Ao's words could not impress Jiang Se. She was not the truly poor Jiang Se who was attracted by money.
Born into the Feng family and living a wealthy life, she would not change her decision because of this little benefit.
"A stable life means no passion."
If she needed money, she wouldn't have to get into this business. "If it was just for money, I might as well get married."
She said this and Luo Ao laughed immediately.
"So I'm still signing a three-year contract, and these are the only requirements. Mr. Luo can consider it."
Her words indicated that the conversation between the two of them was temporarily suspended. Luo Ao nodded, looked at his watch, and stood up:
"I will consider it carefully later. If there is any news, I will inform you." He shook hands with Jiang Se and called Secretary Wu in to see her out.
Jiang Se had just walked out of the conference room when Luo Yin called.
There are surveillance cameras in the conference room, and Luo Yin has seen the previous conversation between the two. I believe the chairman should have made a decision in his mind as to what to do.
I went up to the 29th floor, which is the highest floor of Century Galaxy and also symbolizes the top position of Century Galaxy. I don’t know how many people in the company are working hard to climb up floor by floor, just like climbing the pyramid of life.
There weren't many people here, and they only came occasionally for shareholder meetings. Luo Yin's office was on the top floor, and he had been waiting in the office for quite some time.
The office is extremely spacious, equipped with a kitchen, dressing room, reception room, wine cellar, bar, etc. There is a piece of tempered glass behind the desk, from which one can overlook the prosperous scenery of the imperial capital.
Luo Yin took a half-burned cigar, took a puff, squinted his eyes and asked:
"What do you think?"
"Chairman, the doctor said that you should quit smoking." Luo Ao reminded him, but Luo Yin ignored him and took another big puff. Luo Ao had no choice but to step forward and hold the ashtray for him to shake off the ashes, and whispered his opinion:
"She is well-organized and has clear ideas. If there is no one behind the scenes directing her, it proves that her original idea is different from yours."
She did not use Chang Yuhu's name to make demands recklessly. After she explained, the original three-year contract was reasonable. She was a very ambitious and goal-oriented girl. "She has natural capital and acquired efforts. When I went there, she didn't mention Zhu Pan at all. I observed that she didn't seem to care much about the grudge between her and Zhu Pan."
Just from this point of view, Luo Ao looked at her with admiration.
What many stars lack is that their vision is too narrow. Take Zhu Pan for example, although she is already a highly praised actress by Century Galaxy, she cannot escape her limitations and has a petty air.
The means they use are also shady. Such people may become famous quickly, but their fame will not last long.
In today's age where idol stars are frequently replaced, fans always have very shallow feelings for stars, and they can be replaced as soon as a new star appears, Zhu Panhong will not be popular for long. The company originally supported her only to squeeze out the return value from her as quickly as possible.
"But Jiang Se is different. I have met her and I can vaguely guess why Teacher Chang likes her." Luo Ao tilted his head and edited his words in his mind:
"She is very special and ambitious, but this ambition is not for money, but for movies and exploring her personal potential."
Century Galaxy's investigation revealed that she did not use the incident of Yao Xiang being beaten as an opportunity to hype herself up, and that she was a very smart person who knew her limits. This intelligence enabled her to have Gu Jiaer's favor as soon as she entered the industry, and he personally called Lin Xiwen on her behalf.
She came from a poor family and was extremely short of money, but she did not choose a bad movie with high pay, but instead chose "Beijing Events" with lower pay.
This kind of mentality can only be seen in many seniors who have experienced the ups and downs of the entertainment industry and have a special status, but she is not impatient or irritable, which is really interesting.
"I think she looks a bit like Teacher Chang when he was young."
After Luo Ao said this, he felt that it was not quite accurate.
Chang Yuhu held a different position in Luo Yin's heart. Luo Yin might feel offended by his words, so he changed his words:
"She doesn't want to be a star, but she is more ambitious than that. She wants to be an actress, the type who has something to do with art."
Luo Yin took another puff of his cigar, the flame flickered, he exhaled smoke, and in the curling green smoke, Luo Yin made a decision:
"Okay, I'll just do what she says and sign a three-year contract first." He put out the half-smoked cigar in the ashtray and spit out the cigarette residue in his mouth.
"Among the companies, Chaoqun should have the fewest artists."
As soon as he said this, Luo Ao was shocked.
Perhaps it was too unexpected, his hand holding the ashtray trembled twice, and he exclaimed instinctively:
"What? Sister Xia?"
In Century Galaxy, agents are also divided into different levels.
People like Zhu Pan's agent Ailsa are not worthy of being compared with Xia Chaoqun. (To be continued)
