It was neither the first time Ye Shuang heard about the friction between Luo Tianwang, his agent, and his old club, nor was it the first time he saw it.
Looking at the current situation, the other agent not only has no intention of restraining, but is becoming more and more unscrupulous. It is simply a rhythm of trying to seize the last opportunity to squeeze out the remaining value of the king.
No matter how smooth and sophisticated Luo Tianwang is, he might just break up if he is pushed hard. Besides, it is already accepted by everyone that he is planning to change jobs. When the time comes, they will break up and never talk to each other...well, to be honest No one would be surprised if this was the result.
Ye Shuang had some ideas, but after a few calculations, she decided that the possibility was not high and gave up. Now that the old talk was brought up again, she thought about it and still felt that she could talk to Luo Che: "Cousin, there is no need to use euphemisms in our relationship. Okay, have you ever thought about directly trying to lead a famous artist?"
"Famous?!" Luo Che smiled, thinking Ye Shuang was joking: "It depends on how famous the other party is. For example, I would have no problem contacting a small crew, but if they are dealing with big crews, I would still I’m afraid that the crew won’t give me any face.”
Agents and artists really complement each other. Good artists can provide agents with more opportunities to expand their network, and good agents can also bring artists more endorsements or scripts that others have no way to get.
Generally speaking, it is best for the two to be at the same level. Otherwise, one party will inevitably be dragged down by the weaker party. For example, the job that was originally negotiated may not be received, or the job that was originally received cannot be filled... Luo Che's professional Of course he has good standards, but his reputation means that the quality of the crew that was constantly communicating with each other in the past cannot be too high.
Under such circumstances, if a famous artist is brought in, if he doesn't take the initiative to find a job, is Luo Che going to drag him to a small crew to star in a second- or third-rate bad movie? !
Producers and directors want to ensure box office ratings, so they often choose celebrities with reputations and popularity. If celebrities want to ensure their jobs and fame, they will of course choose agents with more connections and experience.
This is not a force, but a natural need.
Ye Shuang thought for a while and went over Luo Tianwang's information in his mind again, and then said: "Luo Mingxin... With his current status, he is already at the level where the script is begging to come to him without having an agent running around. To be honest, his agent has not fulfilled his responsibilities for a long time. I heard that during this period, he was either taking on bad movies, or someone like Director Zhou came to him on his own initiative."
If Luo Tianwang hadn't had the airs to declare that he would only make a cameo, he might have been asked to be the leading actor in a bad movie. But even if it's just a guest appearance, it's very frustrating to see a shoddy script being praised in front of you again and again.
Luo Che was shocked: "You want me to be Luo Mingxin's agent?"
Is this possible? !
"I just said that my cousin can fight for it." Ye Shuang shook his head: "Luo Mingxin no longer needs connections, and this just happens to avoid your weak link. Strictly speaking, you should help him deal with it and take the initiative to find someone." A door-to-door relationship is enough, I believe my cousin can handle it... But the main problem now is not whether you think the other person is suitable for you, but whether the other person thinks you are suitable."
Even if he breaks up with his current manager, Luo Mingxin has no reason to just find another manager just for a few meetings, unless there is something about Luo Che that can impress him.
Ye Shuang felt that a discerning person like Luo Mingxin would not easily cooperate with a new person. Even if he really went to court with his old club, there would still be people lining up waiting to get the glory of Uranus.
This is like recruiting for a company. You meet the job requirements, but there are other people with more impressive resumes than you competing for the position. At this time, even if the ability required by the other party is not that high, you can choose more from the selection range. It’s human nature to have a good partner.
Luo Che is the one who meets the job requirements, and the other famous agents are excellent choices with impressive resumes.
"It's unlikely, but it doesn't mean it's impossible." Ye Shuang made a suggestion anyway: "It just so happens that King Luo Tianwang is having a quarrel with his agent at this time. If you get in touch more, you might be able to help solve a few problems. You think it’s just right for you, so why don’t you just keep using it?!”
"Isn't this a bit..." Luo Che hesitated for a long time, and finally chose a more euphemistic adjective: "... shameless?!"
"Anyway, it's not like you were a loser when you were working for your third-rate stars. It would be better to lose face in front of the king than to lose face in front of the bastards." Ye Shuang touched his chin: "It doesn't matter if you can use the back door."
She is not an important backdoor, but she has met the King of Heaven a few times. It doesn't matter if she takes Luo Che out to build some friendship. They are relatives anyway. Even if Luo Mingxin sees it, he can understand that they are human beings. It's normal.
…
This casual conversation can only be regarded as a small seed. If Luo Che really wants to become Luo Mingxin's agent, there will really be a lot of favors and operable things to sell.
The most basic premise for Ye Shuang and Luo Mingxin to interact naturally was that she was strong-willed without desires, and she didn't need to ask for help, so she didn't regard the other person as unattainable.
But once this prerequisite for communication is broken, the party in need of help will naturally be in a relatively weak position - taking care of others and being in charge. This is true wherever the principles in the world are taught.
Not only do you want others to pay you a salary and give you benefits, but you also want to maintain equality and self-esteem at the same time. This is purely an arrogant idea that only naive students who have never left school can have.
People spend money to buy employees to serve them, not to buy an uncle to take home and honor them.
After waking up the next day, Ye Shuang, who had become Shuangmei, happily went out of the hotel and bought a newspaper. She had a clear goal and went straight to the entertainment section, mainly because she wanted to see Luo Tianwang's jokes.
Who would have thought that King Luo Tianwang was a little more slippery than expected. The newspaper didn't even mention the woman who was pushed over by the agent. The occasional mention was "The King's agent came to visit the class with his junior sister"... This kind of news is rare. There is no explosive point, how can it be so unexciting? !
Shuangmei touched her chin, and since she had a cousin who was an agent, she called directly to inquire.
As expected, Luo Che knew the news. After hearing the call from his cousin, he smiled and revealed the secret: "I also heard from the crew later that that person originally wanted to use the reputation of the King of Heaven to show a little intimacy and then use vague words to create a rumored girlfriend. The reputation... comes and goes like this, the news is there, the exposure is there, even if it is later revealed that it was a misunderstanding, the fame that the female star wants has come out."
As for whether Luo Mingxin will suffer any damage from this? ! Anyway, he will no longer be an artist of his own company, so who cares!
"Then what happened next?" Ye Shuang said she was very curious about the follow-up development: "Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be something you can't explain clearly, and the explanation will be regarded as a cover-up, right?"
"Either way, Luo Mingxin is the king. I guess he has seen more battles in the industry than the rest of us." Luo Che said with a smile and admiration: "Luo Mingxin saw his manager bring him This woman has a black face before anyone can say anything..."
At that time, as long as the manager casually said to the reporters, "This is a newly signed artist from the same company as Tianwang, and I came here specifically to visit the class this time"... By then, even if Luo Mingxin had the words to explain, he would not be able to explain clearly.
Why did your manager specially bring the junior sister to visit the class? ! Why is the junior sister visiting the class alone? !
Since I can come to visit the class, I guess I have a good relationship at the company, right? !
Is it a story that classmates have to tell? !
Anyway, no matter how Luo Mingxin responded at the time, the media reporters could naturally come up with countless inside stories. Even if they sometimes knew that it might not be the truth, they had to entangle the possibility of suspicion in order to get news attention.
But Luo Mingxin didn't wait for the agent to speak. When he saw the woman he had seen twice in the company, he immediately guessed what she was thinking. Then he frowned and scolded her seriously... "The crew is not allowed to bring fans in! Director Zhou You have a bad temper, why did you bring people in so casually?"
Everyone: If you don’t say this, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is not a fan.
Director Zhou: Anyway, you don’t have to block the gun once or twice. It’s not good if you have a bad temper.
"..." The manager tried to make up for it with a forced smile: "What are you talking about? This is our company's new artist. Junior sister, have you forgotten?!"
Luo Mingxin was worthy of the title of Best Actor, and he immediately apologized as if he had realized something: "I didn't pay much attention, what do you call me, junior sister?" It's clear that I don't even know your name.
So easily, Luo Tianwang said, what kind of scandal can a woman who doesn't even know anyone stir up? Without adding insult to injury, writing about a certain actress shamelessly hugging the king's thigh in order to get the upper hand is already pretty good.
After hearing what happened, Ye Shuang was also impressed: "But this is considered a breakup, right? Well... It doesn't seem to be necessarily true. I guess this kind of back and forth between you and me is not just once or twice. It will be torn apart long ago."
Privately, the opponent is just to see who is better at chess. If he really wants to make his words clear in the open, it is possible that Luo Mingxin will use the situation to terminate the contract in advance.
Now I just don't want to make things too ugly, and try my best to keep both sides alive until the contract expires.
"But that may not be the case tonight." Luo Che also smiled, but then sighed: "My artist said that the manager seemed to have explicitly asked Luo Mingxin to bring the actress to a private dinner, using the title of friendship to support the junior sister. … In the end, it’s hard to say whether it’s just to support the junior sister or to hype up the scandal.”
"Dinner party?" Ye Shuang recalled the invitation she had received at the Regal Club before: "Is it the one from the local jeweler Lu's family?"
Where did she receive the invitation? ! Look back and see if you can sell some favors to protect the chastity of the King of Heaven. (To be continued)
