Luo Mingxin also belongs to the idol level among people in the industry.
The winner of several Best Actor trophies and one of the few Asian superstars who have been accepted and popular overseas, Luo Mingxin's status in the industry, especially in film and television, is very important.
All newcomers to the industry regard Luo Mingxin as a mountain that is difficult to climb and regard it as the highest goal of their efforts.
Therefore, when a young artist was auditioning for a low-profile crew one minute, and suddenly saw an accomplished idol parking his car next to him to say hello, the huge contrast immediately shocked him. God comes, even unbelievable.
Luo Mingxin nodded to the young artist and Luo Che who recognized him, turned his eyes to Ye Shuang's face and asked with a smile: "A date with a friend?"
Ye Shuang was startled, and it seemed a little wrong to hear this meaning: "Actually, I should have an appointment with you... Uh, I mean I'm going to treat everyone to dinner tonight. Didn't Director Zhou tell you?"
Luo Mingxin was also stunned, and then turned to the life assistant next to him to ask for his mobile phone back. He looked through the text messages and found that there was indeed a new message sent by Director Zhou, who also talked about Ye Shuang's treat.
Luo Mingxin shook his head and laughed: "I didn't notice this information. There was originally a business reception... Okay, where are you scheduled to be? What time?!"
At a cocktail party, I just pushed it. Otherwise, I would say that he is a big name.
From the perspective of Luo Che and young artists, cocktail parties are also a rare social occasion. You might be able to meet an investor who is willing to give you a small role or an advertising endorsement or something.
But in other people's eyes, a drinking party can at most serve as a way to have a meal, and maybe the other party secretly dislikes the meal and feels tired.
Ye Shuang reported the name and time of the hotel that she had booked, and said casually like a joke: "Actually, we can meet again on another day. Anyway, the crew can always meet. Will you offend others if you don't go to the reception?"
"What are you offending? Who in the country doesn't know that I have a broken bone?! The hematoma hasn't even dispersed yet. I can't drink with others. And my legs and feet are so inconvenient that I can't even stand for a long time." Luo Mingxin sneered, I don’t know who I’m thinking of: “It’s not a bad thing to make good investors, but in the end, the artist is the most important thing... Some people can’t tell the difference and want to sell me for money, but that depends on whether I’m willing to give it to them. face."
The life assistant next to him secretly pulled off Luo Mingxin's sleeve. Luo Mingxin frowned and glared back, and the assistant immediately shrank his neck and stepped back.
This is a family matter, it seems hard to get involved... Ye Shuang smiled and skipped the topic as if she didn't understand the meaning of the words: "Then I'll wait for Brother Luo to come and cheer me up tonight. By the way, this is my Brother Luo, Now I am working as an agent. If Brother Luo sees trouble in the future, he will take care of me more. Brother Luo’s face is not as good as yours.”
Luo Mingxin was amused: "There are not many people who dare to take care of me directly. Okay, if you are so brave, don't waste it. Let's act freely during filming in a few days."
The other party didn't directly promise anything, but at least the impression was not bad. Luo Che was already very satisfied with this achievement, and even the little artist next to him was so happy that he was about to bloom.
Luo Tianwang just wanted to take a look at the so-called cocktail party. He happened to see Ye Shuang on the way and stopped to say hello. Now that dinner was arranged, there was no need to go to the cocktail party. I instructed the driver to turn around and drive back again.
Ye Shuang stopped the person again: "Back to the set? Just in time, Director Zhou said he would help us arrange an appearance. When Brother Luo returns to the set, we can take him to meet the recorder."
The young artist who was accused almost fainted, and even Luo Tianwang, who had just seen Ye Shuang's courage, was speechless: "... Riding on my car?"
Riding on the car of the Asian King? !
good very good! No one dared to make such a request to me.
"The fox is pretending to be the tiger's. The effect is better if you take it back than if I take it back. Anyway, we don't ask for anything else. We just want to take care of it." Ye Shuang smiled slightly, making no secret of his plan to take advantage of her in his unparalleled grace.
Is the other party's request too much? ! It doesn't seem too much. Even though he is the King of Heaven, and although he can't promise help casually, just picking someone up in his car doesn't seem to be considered a favor.
A ride from a friend is nothing. Even if he is not a friend and he is already acquainted with the person, how can he still refuse because of a fuss over some gas money? The key is that no one has ever had the guts to be so familiar with me before...
"... Come up!"
Luo Tianwang can be considered a person of status, and people of status generally cannot do anything ungraceful.
As long as the demands are not excessive and don't hurt people's face, in fact, this kind of people are much easier to deal with than ordinary people, as long as they have a thick skin...
After Luo Mingxin's car carrying the stiff little artist disappeared from sight, Luo Che relaxed his nervousness and looked at his future cousin-in-law with a dumbfounded look: "You really dare to make a request to King Luo Tian..."
"I always appreciate their thin skin." Ye Shuang also smiled.
This is like a scholar meeting a soldier. The scholar has status and values his status. He will tell you his connotation, demeanor, and reason. Bing Yong has not studied and is too lazy to care about him. When he is unhappy, he is like a monkey picking peaches. No matter how high the status, Gotta go crazy.
Another example is Tyson biting his ear. Holyfield who was bitten is also the world heavyweight boxing champion in history. He can hit hard and defend against hard punches, but he just can't fight shamelessly.
People who follow rules will be at a loss when they meet people who don't follow rules, because they consciously abide by certain conventions, but their opponents completely ignore them.
Of course, Ye Shuang felt that she didn't actually do anything. After all, she neither bit people's ears nor picked peaches. Didn't she just ask for a ride...
After couriering the little artist away, Luo Che and Ye Shuang were the only two people left, so they simply didn't rush to take a taxi. They were members of their own family anyway, so it was okay to walk slowly and talk while doing so.
Just now, the young artist had something to say that was hard to say. Now that there were no other ears to listen, Luo Che took a long breath and began to slowly explain what Luo Tianwang had said before: "In fact, everyone in the industry knows a little about Luo Mingxin. After all, he High attention... It sounds like tonight's cocktail party was probably arranged by his agent. Logically speaking, at Luo Mingxin's level, the agent should be eager to support this money tree, but in fact, the relationship between the two is still There are some things on which we cannot reach consensus because our interests are different.”
"To put it bluntly, what celebrities and celebrity agents sell is the value of the celebrities themselves. Needless to say, stars, the instinct of ordinary people is to protect and cherish themselves, but some agents only regard celebrities as a valuable commodity , so they will use various means to extract the maximum value from celebrities."
Although his future wife said that her cousin-in-law didn’t want to be in the entertainment industry, after all, he already had one foot in the industry, so Luo Che naturally didn’t hesitate to tell him some more things: “For example, the most common thing is that in order to ensure that the celebrity’s popularity does not fade, he will not be involved in the entertainment industry when the other party does not have it. When working on a film, the agent will hype up the scandal to gain attention, or they will accept a lot of bad movies for the star for the sake of salary and exposure... Of course, the star considers things from his own perspective, but the agent is from the company's point of view , when the interests and opinions are consistent, the agent can save a lot of effort for the star, but once the interests of both parties collide, conflicts will naturally arise. "
Luo Mingxin has passed the time when he needs to work hard and has begun to pursue a relatively leisurely life. Taking films is more for spiritual pursuits.
But it is impossible for the agent to think the same as Luo Mingxin. What he pursues is material interests...
Although celebrities and managers complement each other, their property and family background are not the same. Do you want to retire? OK, but what do I do? !
What's more, even if the agent is willing to let go and recruit other rising stars to make up for his losses, the company is unlikely to agree to this... It's easy to sign a talented, good-looking and famous big shot, and there is no need to waste too much just to show off!
Therefore, under the guidance of the company and the agent's own selfishness, conflicts between Luo Mingxin and the two gradually began to arise.
There have long been rumors in the industry that Luo Mingxin may not renew his contract with his old club after his contract expires. Luo Mingxin has also revealed his intention to pursue a solo career intentionally or unintentionally... He is now capable enough without relying on any background.
So under this catalyst, how to squeeze out the final value of Luo Mingxin has become the focus of his contract company and agent.
For example, take advantage of the other party's departure to accept more film appointments, use Luo Mingxin's fame to make friends, increase your presence in the upper class circle for future cooperation, or try your best to recruit new people to the other party, and take advantage of the opportunity. Make the other person famous before they leave...
Even if Luo Mingxin's contract with the company is relatively loose and generous with few restrictions, there are still some things that he can't refuse.
"It feels almost like a couple getting married." Ye Shuang sighed after listening to Luo Che explaining the rumors in the industry to her: "For example, whose name should be written when buying a house? Men don't feel comfortable writing a woman's name. After all, they pay for themselves. Writing a man's name is a woman's. And I don’t feel safe. There are so many extramarital affairs and cheating now. Will I be abandoned after serving the family for more than ten years and getting old?! The manager felt that he needed a sense of security, so he confidently asked Luo Mingxin to leave more for him before leaving. He used more capital to maintain his position, but Luo Mingxin felt that the other party did not consider his feelings at all... To put it bluntly, it is better to strengthen oneself, that agent really has the ability and connections, and he can still live a happy life without Luo Mingxin."
This metaphor poked the G-spot too much, and Luo Che immediately became wary: "Xiaoye, your thinking is very problematic. I think it's better to put it another way. If you show your sincerity, the other party will naturally reciprocate. The main thing is whether you can treat others as yourself." Man...you plan to keep a hand after you marry my cousin?!"
“…”
Ye Shuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Luo Che's imagination was simply too rich. This was indeed his cousin. (To be continued)
