Release that Man

Chapter 119: Conflict of interest (second update)

Views:

Luo Mingxin is also an idol among the insiders.

A few winners of best actor trophies, and a few Asian superstars who have been accepted and praised overseas, Luo Mingxin's status in the circle, especially in the film and television industry, can be said to be very important.

All newcomers who enter the industry all regard Luo Mingxin as a mountain that is difficult to climb, and regard it as their highest goal.

Therefore, when a young artist was still auditioning for a small film crew one minute, and suddenly saw an accomplished idol stopping by his side to say hello the next minute, this huge contrast immediately shocked him a little bit. Amazing, even unbelievable.

Luo Mingxin nodded to the little artist and Luo Che who recognized him, turned his gaze to Ye Shuang and asked with a smile on Ye Shuang's face, "A date with a friend?"

Ye Shuang was taken aback, and the meaning seemed a little wrong: "Actually, I should have an appointment with you... Uh, I mean, I'm going to invite everyone to dinner tonight. Didn't Director Zhou tell you?"

Luo Mingxin was also stunned, and then turned to the life assistant beside him to ask for his mobile phone back, and flipped through the text messages. There was indeed a new message from Director Zhou, and he also said about Ye Shuang's treat.

Luo Mingxin shook his head and laughed: "I didn't notice this information. There was originally a business reception... well, where are you scheduled? What time?!"

A cocktail party was pushed as soon as it was pushed, or else they are the big names.

In terms of the vision of Luo Che and the little artist, the reception is also a rare occasion for socializing, and one might meet an investor who is willing to give him a small role or an advertisement endorsement or something.

But in the eyes of others, a reception is at most a function of grabbing a meal by the way, and maybe the other party secretly dislikes the meal and is exhausted.

Ye Shuang reported the name of the hotel and the time set on the date, and said casually as a joke: "Actually, we can get together again on another day. Anyway, a crew can always meet. If you don't go to the reception, will you offend people?"

"What's the offense? Who in the country doesn't know that I have a broken bone?! The hematoma hasn't dissipated yet, so I can't drink with others. Besides, my legs and feet are inconvenient and I can't even stand for a long time." Luo Mingxin sneered, I don't know who I thought of: "Being good with investors is not a bad thing, but in the end, artists are the most important thing... Some people can't tell the difference and want to sell me for money. It also depends on whether I am willing to give it to them." face."

The life assistant next to him secretly pulled off Luo Mingxin's sleeve, Luo Mingxin frowned and stared back, the little assistant immediately shrank his neck and retreated.

This is a housework, and it seems that it is not easy to get involved... Ye Shuang smiled. Skip the topic as if he didn't understand the meaning of the words: "Then I will wait for Luo Ge to come to support me at night. By the way, this is me, Luo Ge. Now I am working as a manager. If Luo Ge sees troubles, take care of him, Luo Ge Face is not as useful as you."

Luo Mingxin was amused: "There are not many people who dare to take care of me directly. It's alright, don't waste your courage if you are so courageous, and let go of acting during filming in a few days."

The other party didn't directly promise anything, but at least the tone of the impression was not bad. With this harvest, Luo Che was already very satisfied. Even the little artist next to him was so pleasantly surprised that he was about to blossom.

Luo Tianwang just wanted to go to the so-called cocktail party casually, and when he saw Ye Shuang on the way, he stopped to say hello. Now that dinner is arranged, there is no need to go to the reception, so I instruct the driver to turn around and drive back.

Ye Shuang stopped him again: "Back to the crew? It's just right, Director Zhou said to help us arrange an appearance. Brother Luo will take him to the scene when he returns to the crew."

The little entertainer who was accused was about to faint, even Luo Tianwang, who had just seen Ye Shuang's guts, was at a loss for words: "... rub my car?"

Rubbing his Asian king's car? !

good very good! No one dared to make such a request to himself.

"The fox pretends to be the tiger, the effect of you taking it back is better than me taking it back. Anyway, we don't ask for anything else, just try to take care of it." Ye Shuang smiled slightly, making no secret of her intention to use it under her peerless elegance.

Is the other party asking too much? ! Doesn't seem too much. Although I am the king of heaven, although I can't promise to help casually, it doesn't seem to be a big help to pick up someone in a car.

It's nothing for a friend to drop by for a ride, even if he's not a friend, he's already acquainted, so how can he still make a big fuss over a little gas money to refuse? The key is that no one has ever had the guts to be so familiar with myself...

"... come up!"

Luo Tianwang is considered a person of status. And people with status generally can't do anything without grace.

As long as the demands are not excessive and do not hurt 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 drove the little artist with stiff hands and feet and disappeared from sight, Luo Che relaxed his nervousness, and couldn't laugh or cry at his future cousin-in-law: "You really dare to ask Luo Tianwang..."

"I've always admired their thin skin." Ye Shuang also smiled.

It's like a scholar meets a soldier. A scholar has status and respects status. He talks about connotation, demeanor and reason. Bing Yong doesn't study so much so he doesn't bother to care about him so much. When he is unhappy, he is a monkey picking peaches.

Another example is Tyson biting his ear. Holyfield, who was bitten, was also the world heavyweight boxing champion who set a record.

People who talk about rules will be at a loss when they meet people who don't talk about rules, because they consciously abide by certain conventions, but their opponents don't pay attention at all.

Of course, Ye Shuang felt that she hadn't actually done anything. After all, she had neither bit people's ears nor monkey-picked peaches. Didn't she just ask for a ride...

After the little artist was delivered, Luo Che and Ye Shuang were the only two left, so they didn't rush to take a taxi. Anyway, they were also family members, so it was better to walk slowly and talk by the way.

Just now, the little artist had some things to say that were hard to say, but now that he had no other ears to listen to, Luo Che let out a long breath, and began to slowly explain what Luo Tianwang said before: "In fact, everyone in the industry knows something about Luo Mingxin, after all, he High attention... Tonight's reception sounds like it should be arranged by his manager. It stands to reason that at Luo Mingxin's level, the manager should be eager to support this cash cow, but the relationship between the two is actually still There are some things that cannot reach a consensus, after all, the starting point of interest is different."

"To put it bluntly, celebrities and celebrity brokerages operate and sell the value of celebrities themselves. Needless to say, celebrities, the instinct of ordinary people is to protect and cherish themselves, but some agents only regard celebrities as a value commodity. , so they will use various means to extract the maximum value from the stars."

Although the future wife said that her cousin-in-law doesn't want to be in the entertainment industry, after all, the other party has already stepped into the entertainment industry, Luo Che naturally told the other party more things: "For example, the most common thing is to ensure that the star's popularity will not fade. When making a work, the agent will get attention for its hype and gossip, or take back a lot of bad movies for the star for the sake of remuneration and exposure... Of course, the star considers things from himself, but the agent is from the company's standpoint , When the interests and opinions are the same, the agent can save a lot of energy for the star, but once the interests of the two parties collide, conflicts will naturally arise from this."

Luo Mingxin has passed the time when he needs to work hard, and has begun to pursue a relatively leisurely life, and the filming is more for spiritual pursuit.

But it's impossible for the manager to think the same way as Luo Mingxin, what he's after is material interests...

Although celebrities and agents complement each other, their property and family background are not in common. 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 can't agree to this... It's so easy to sign a talented and well-known big name, and it doesn't cost much to just look at it!

So under the company's instruction and the manager's own selfishness, conflicts between Luo Mingxin and the two gradually began to arise.

There have long been faint rumors in the circle that Luo Mingxin may not renew his contract with his old club after the contract expires, and Luo Mingxin has also intentionally or unintentionally revealed his intention to go solo... He is now capable enough to do this without relying on any background.

So under this catalysis, how to extract the final value from Luo Mingxin's body has become the focus of his contracting company and agent's consideration.

For example, take more film appointments before the other party leaves, for example, use Luo Mingxin's fame as a greeting post, and get more presence in the upper-class circle for future cooperation, or try to put some newcomers around the other party, while Before people leave, they make each other popular...

Even if Luo Mingxin's contract with the company is relatively loose and generous, with few restrictions, there will always be some things that he cannot refuse.

"It feels like a couple getting married." Ye Shuang sighed after listening to Luo Che explaining the rumors in the industry: "For example, whose name is written on a house? It is uncomfortable for a man to write a woman's name. After all, he pays for it himself. Write a man's name and a woman I have no sense of security, now that there are so many extramarital affairs, will I be abandoned by others after serving the family for more than ten years?! The manager feels that he needs a sense of security, so he justifiably asks Luo Mingxin to leave more for him before leaving. With a lot of capital to keep his position, Luo Mingxin feels that the other party doesn't consider his feelings at all... To put it bluntly, it's better to be self-improving, that manager is really capable of talking to people, and he can still live a good life without Luo Mingxin."

This metaphor is too poignant, and Luo Che was instantly on guard: "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. It mainly depends on whether you treat others as yourself." People... 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 really deserved to be his own cousin.
