Am I in the wrong place
Mei Zihan couldn't help but think so.
"Excuse me, did I delay your study?" Mei Zihan asked cautiously.
"That's not true." The agent threw the books in his hand on the ground, "If you meet my requirements, I will throw all these books away. If you are a helpless person, I can just take the civil servant exam Chosen."
Hey, this is here to pick on me.
When Mei Zihan thought about it, he felt normal again.
I also need to pick a few more brokers to see. The other party may have been very capable, but after all, it has been two years since he left the entertainment industry.
The other party probably thought so too.
"Then now, do you want to ask me some questions?" Mei Zihan was ready.
"Before you came, after my uncle told me, I watched three or four of your TV series." The other party's eyes looked back and forth at Mei Zihan, "It's just one drama, your acting skills want to be developed. It's like knowing, have you found a good teacher?"
"Almost." Mei Zihan didn't think there was anything difficult to admit.
"Then do you know where your weaknesses are?" the agent asked, "Do you know the best way to develop yourself, and what are your strengths and weaknesses?"
"I know a little bit." Mei Zihan nodded and said, "Many people know these points better than me."
"Many people think that the manager is responsible for planning the artist's future. In fact, this is just the artist's own laziness. If you want to sing, you can sing hard. If you want to act, you can act hard. You can also be an all-round artist. The most terrible What's more, he clearly has an advantage without knowing it, and chose a vague position for himself." The manager looked at Mei Zihan and asked, "What about you, what do you think your position is?"
... If I knew, would I still need to come to you
If Mei Zihan was willing, he would definitely be able to give an answer at will and make a few perfunctory sentences.
But he didn't want to be perfunctory.
When he was an intern as a teacher, what he hated the most were students who pretended to know what they didn't know, and said they didn't know if they didn't know, at least he could teach again.
Even in the face of Jiang Ying's teaching, if there is anything he doesn't understand, he will try his best to learn from Jiang Ying.
"I don't know." Mei Zihan said bluntly, "Before "My Stepfather" broke the ratings, the only thing I thought about was what kind of drama I could take on in the next part, and how much I could get paid? An actor is nothing to me. It’s just a job. But recently, I suddenly found that this job has its own fun, so I need an agent.”
"Do you want to win an award? Do you want to be a best actor?" the agent continued to ask.
"If I have the ability." Mei Zihan did not give an affirmative answer, "I can eat as much rice as I have ability, I know that I am already a bit old, and the dramas I have acted in before are all black spots , my appearance is even different from the current mainstream aesthetics. But so what? I originally climbed from the bottom of the entertainment circle, and I have acted in a lot of things that I don’t know the so-called. .”
"When I first entered the entertainment circle, I discovered Li Ruo from a group of extras." The manager suddenly laughed, "At that time, she was just a girl who had just graduated. She told me that she would definitely become the hottest one in the entertainment industry and become the actress who won numerous awards. She did what she said."
"But I'm not Li Ruo." Mei Zihan heard the goddess' name, and said with a touch of pride in his tone, "Isn't there only one Li Ruo in the entertainment industry? She was also called Little Rose when she first debuted, but Now she is the only Li Ruo."
"Yes, there is only one Li Ruo." The manager murmured to himself, "I have been thinking how proud I was to feel that I gave everything to Li Ruo, and because of a temporary Do you want to do something that hurt her heart?"
Isn't that because you are scumbag and stupid
The best time to cheat as a woman has passed. If you miss that time, you don't have to think about it in the future.
"So the second time I cultivated an artist, I deliberately picked a man who would not have a relationship with me. I was business-like and never talked too much, but he also secretly poked a big basket, and in the end he had to be banned and quit the circle. "The agent replied slowly, "The artist I met later had worse qualifications than Qiu Yunkai, so it's impossible for me to meet another Li Ruo, and it's impossible for me to meet another Qiu Yunkai."
Speaking of this, the man looked at Mei Zihan with burning eyes, "I want to train another actor and actress, can you?"
Mei Zihan hesitated whether to be arrogant or humble.
"If I let you work hard towards the actor, I will restrict your personal freedom and control your diet; I will turn down opportunities that can make you countless money; All kinds of teachers; they will also let you experience the lives of different people in various scenarios. I want you to deserve your name, and even stand taller and farther than Li Ruo, can you do it?"
There are no gratuitous awards in the world, and there is no such thing as something for nothing.
Even talented actors have to shoot the same scene over and over again. Each award represents a different meaning, and the judges have different aesthetic tastes. Want to win countless awards and become a well-deserved actor, is it possible for an ordinary artist to achieve it
Just like the Oscars, which are recognized by the world, many actors have the acting skills at the level of actor and actress, but because of a little factor, the taste of one or two judges missed them.
But now, the means of hype are becoming more and more diverse. As long as the group operates properly, an actor or a singer can still be popular.
But there are fewer and fewer people who really sink their hearts into acting.
They may have to work for more than ten or twenty years before they can make their way slowly. At that time, they have already lost many roles and opportunities that would allow them to win awards.
Be famous early.
This sentence is definitely a wise saying in the entertainment circle.
Mei Zihan was taken aback by the successive questions.
Sure enough, the Chinese teacher was right, the parallel sentence has momentum!
But Mei Zihan wasn't too scared.
"Even if you don't do these things, my boyfriend probably won't do less." Mei Zihan sighed, "I can do what you say, I only have one request for you, I hope to be with my boyfriend No one will know anything about it until I make it public."
The manager was stunned for a moment, "You want to be the actor, but you still want your boyfriend?"
"Of course." Mei Zihan nodded and said, "If I don't have my boyfriend when I become a Best Actor, then it doesn't mean much for me to become a Best Actor."
"You can't have both, are you too greedy?"
"If you are my manager, isn't it just to fulfill my greed?" Mei Zihan threw the topic back, "Just like now, I am just a labeled actor, and even a big-budget actor You may not be able to get both of them, but you have already talked to me about the actor or not."
The agent suddenly laughed, "When I was beaten into the hospital by Li Ruo, I swore in my heart that I would definitely name an actor who was better than her. She should have hit me if I cheated on her." .”
"Then admit it. No matter how many people want to be beaten by Li Ruo, there is no chance." Mei Zihan felt that this person was very greedy.
"But I still owe her an apology." The manager continued with a smile, "If I become a lost dog and tell her, she will only feel that she is blind to look at me. Even if it is my self-esteem as a man, I hope I can Stand in the same position as her and apologize to her. After the apology, I will never have anything to do with her again."
"...I will take your case as a warning." Mei Zihan said sincerely, "I know that many men are cheap, and it seems that you are too."
People treat you well and you want to cheat on you, but now you are beaten up by others, but you know that you are wrong, and you want to reshape your image to be a good ex-boyfriend.
Isn't this cheap what is it
"If it wasn't for the fact that I was beaten up because of my cheating, and unfortunately I bumped into Qiu Yunkai and quit the industry. Do you think you, a young actor like you, are qualified to let me take you?" The manager didn't have such a good tone towards Mei Zihan.
This is indeed true.
As the nephew of the director of Blue Sky Satellite TV, he has his own resources and contacts. There are a lot of people rushing to get such a manager, and Mei Zihan can't get it anyway.
"If you want, sign this contract. Starting today, I will take 30% of all your income, and report all your whereabouts, preferably including when you and your boyfriend stay overnight. If there is no problem, sign it."
The agent pulled out two contracts from a pile of civil servants' books, each of which was at least ten sheets of paper.
This must have been prepared for a long time.
After Mei Zihan took over the contract, he found out that the agent's name was Liu Tianyi.
"I see." Mei Zihan read through the contract and signed his name readily, "By the way, do you want to go back and meet my boyfriend with me later? He is my boyfriend My friend is also my acting teacher. Please take care of me in the future."
Liu Tianyi also signed his name, and the contract was in duplicate, "Don't worry, I will go if you don't tell me."
"Go first and give me your address. I'll resign my civil servant position first and then I'll look for you." Liu Tianyi waved his hand.
... Is this his agent or am I the agent
Mei Zihan sighed, he must have found an ancestor for himself.
But now he can look forward to the reward Jiang Ying said, hahaha, don't worry too much after the contract is settled.
Although he didn't trust Liu Tianyi very much, he believed in the director of Blue Sky Satellite TV.
Well, the director is currently the idol of both Mei Zihan and Wen Mingjiang.
Mei Zihan readily left a list of addresses and her own phone number, and went to find Wen Mingjiang when she went out.
Go home quickly and drive Wen Mingjiang away, so he can ask Jiang Ying for his reward.
Wen Mingjiang was waiting outside the door, not interested in eavesdropping.
Before Mei Zihan came back, he asked Jiang Ying very curiously, why he was so sure that Liu Tianyi would sign the contract with Mei Zihan, and why he helped Mei Zihan agree to let Liu Tianyi be the agent in advance people.
"Ahan has always been a person who can afford to let go, that's why I chose him in the first place." Jiang Ying smiled slightly, "But Liu Tianyi is different, he is a person who can afford to let go. So When he sees Ahan, he will definitely sign a contract with him."
This is not true, Wen Mingjiang doesn't understand it very well.
But Mei Zihan came out soon.
"Finished?" Wen Mingjiang asked curiously.
"Yes." Mei Zihan did not hesitate, "He gave me the contract, and I signed it."
Really signed? Jiang Ying should switch to fortune-telling.
"...You can bring it back first for me and the teacher to refer to first." Wen Mingjiang was a little speechless, "How long is the contract period?"
"Um, twenty years." Mei Zihan said briskly.
"... Don't you think this is too long? Twenty years later you will be forty-seven." Wen Mingjiang was going crazy.
"But I've done the math. It will take at least so many years for me to become a well-deserved actor in the eyes of the public and win domestic and foreign awards." Mei Zihan replied indifferently.
"You're thinking about the long term." Wen Mingjiang swallowed his bitter blood silently, "Do you think it's so easy to win the Best Actor? One or two awards is about the same. If you want to win domestic and foreign awards, twenty years may not be enough. "
"If I haven't got it in 20 years, I will quit." Mei Zihan smiled and showed his white teeth, "Life is too short, and I have devoted my thirty years to getting the title of best actor. If I still can't succeed, it will prove that I don't have this fate. At that time, Jiang Ying and I can take the money to travel around the world and become a happy old couple that everyone envies."
The author has something to say: Wen Mingjiang: I feel like I ate dog food in the air.
