MTL - After The Actor Made a Match For Me, He Died Out of Jealousy-Chapter 46
Almost all of the people left, and the next script reading session could not go on.
Because of the investment in cloud video, except for the male lead, the other main actors are all from their company.
If the company wants to withdraw its capital, it will definitely take its own actors away, and Director Liu will have to find actors again.
Director Liu reluctantly said to Jiang Liucheng, "Let's do this today, and I'll let you know when it starts."
Jiang Liucheng said curiously, "Why do you have to use me?"
Director Liu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but just took out a cigarette and rubbed it in his hand, "You are very suitable for this role, if you play it, it will definitely achieve the effect I want."
Jiang Liucheng felt that he was too optimistic about himself.
Director Liu can probably guess what he is thinking. Some of the feelings are hard to say. It is probably just an intuition. It's just that he put all his wealth on this online drama, sold the house, and bought the novel copyright of the online drama. Now he Only this chance, he must be more cautious.
After saying goodbye to Director Liu, they took the elevator down again.
"What the **** is going on?" Li Qiu couldn't hold back.
Jiang Liucheng said, "It's just what you think."
Li Qiu leaned, "This Mo's Entertainment is too shameless. Yesterday, I bought the water army to black you on the hot search. This time I want to get rid of your resources. Why are they so haunted."
Jiang Liucheng smiled.
Li Qiu added: "How can you still laugh, if the cloud video withdraws its investment, it is very likely that this online drama will not be able to be filmed, and the online script will be at risk. Now that Mo's Entertainment is obstructed, the probability of losing money is even greater. already."
Jiang Liucheng said disapprovingly, "Mo's Entertainment has been targeting me, but when did you see them succeed?"
Li Qiu was silent for a moment, "It seems that it has never been successful, but this time the trouble may be even greater. With the withdrawal of the cloud video, the gap is not very big. Even if Director Liu still has a house, it cannot fill the gap."
It costs at least tens of millions to shoot a web drama. Except for big companies, no one can spend so much money.
After returning to the car, after a period of silence, Li Qiu sighed again.
"It's a pity, when you said that the novel of this web drama is good, I also read it, it is really good, although Director Liu has always insisted that you are the male lead, but I think he should still compromise in the end. , The venue for this drama has been rented, and if the filming cannot start when the start time is up, I am afraid it won’t last long with Director Liu’s economic strength.”
Jiang Liucheng hummed, "Since the reading session has been canceled, give Zhou Wenbin a call and ask if you want to move it up to today."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Li Qiu cooperated to change the subject: "Okay, I'll call him now."
Zhou Wenbin, who received the call, readily agreed and changed the time to this afternoon.
At the appointed time, Zhou Wenbin rushed to the meeting place and saw that all three Jiang Liucheng were there.
"Am I late?" He glanced at his watch and found that he was not late, there were ten minutes before the appointed time.
"Hello Mr. Zhong, I'm Li Qiu, Liucheng's manager." Li Qiu quickly stood up and shook hands with him, "You didn't come late, we came early."
Since he was an acquaintance, Zhou Wenbin did not greet them with courtesy or too many greetings, and went directly to the topic.
Seeing him so straightforward, Li Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
There are advantages and disadvantages to acquaintances. The advantage is that it can save a lot of trouble, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to negotiate, and it is easy to hurt feelings if you talk too much.
Li Qiu was confused, and when he was thinking about how to speak, he heard Jiang Liucheng speak.
"If I sign a contract, what conditions can your company offer me?"
Li Qiu's heart jumped, and he quickly looked at Zhou Wenbin. Spark Entertainment is different from other entertainment companies. This company has a deeper background.
Spark Entertainment pays more attention to the training of actors. They will not deliberately hype or play any shameful means to make the actors popular. As long as they are the artists they like, they can even get into the second and third tiers at worst. Therefore, they have one of the best reputations in the industry. How many artists want to sign with Spark Entertainment, but it is a pity that Spark Entertainment's signing requirements are very high.
Li Qiu actually valued Spark Entertainment more from the beginning, but Spark Entertainment never offered them an olive branch to sign a contract, and he was not good at taking the initiative, otherwise he would lower his worth.
Zhou Wenbin smiled slightly after hearing Jiang Liucheng's words.
Since he is an acquaintance and Brother Qin pays so much attention to him, how could he make the youth suffer.
When he learned that President Shi was interested in youth, he disclosed to President Shi the relationship between Brother Qin and the youth, and said that Brother Qin also agreed to sign the contract with the youth.
Therefore, Mr. Shi readily gave him the greatest authority in this matter.
Half an hour later, Zhou Wenbin got up and said goodbye to them after chatting because he had other things to do.
After seeing him off, Li Qiu's expression was a little unreal after getting in the car.
"Is this the benefit of acquaintances?"
"It also has something to do with Liu Cheng's strength." Li Lei, who was driving, added, he felt that the most important thing was this, otherwise, even if there were acquaintances, Spark Entertainment would not take the initiative to sign a contract.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Qiu was full of pride, he felt that a bright future was waiting for him in front of him, "I can't wait now, after I sign a contract with Spark Entertainment, I think Mo's Entertainment will dare to mess with you again. "
Jiang Liucheng said, "You should still dare. Mo's Entertainment and Spark Entertainment are also in a competitive relationship."
Li Qiu: "...that's what I said."
Li Lei smiled.
Because there has been no good news from Director Liu.
The next day, Li Qiu took Jiang Liucheng directly to catch the announcement.
Two days later, Zhou Wenbin called to inform them that the contract was ready, and asked them to take some time to sign with Spark Entertainment.
Without a word, Li Qiu pulled Jiang Liucheng and rushed to Spark Entertainment.
The headquarters of Spark Entertainment is located in the most prosperous commercial building in the center of Yunshi City. Since there are often celebrities coming and going, in order to avoid being disturbed, some people get in and out. The building is very strict. Except for the staff, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave.
Zhou Wenbin heard that they had gone downstairs, so he hurried down to pick them up, and when he went up, he introduced them to the company's situation. After signing the contract, Jiang Liucheng had to go in and out frequently. .
After going up, Zhou Wenbin took them to President Shi's office.
Ever since he heard that Qin Lu and Jiang Liucheng have a good relationship, President Shi has always wanted to meet Jiang Liucheng and see what kind of person can impress Qin Lu.
When he saw Jiang Liucheng, Mr. Shi probably knew. In fact, he had already investigated Jiang Liucheng before and knew his situation, otherwise he would not want to sign the contract.
Although Jiang Liucheng is not a professional, his resume is better than many people in the entertainment industry.
"The real person really doesn't look the same as the photos. I probably know why Qin Lu likes you."
Li Qiu: "???"
The corner of Zhou Wenbin's mouth twitched. Mr. Shi had the ability to make a very normal thing misleading. In order to prevent him from saying more misleading words, he quickly took out two contracts that had been printed a long time ago. , handed it to Li Qiu: "This is the contract that was agreed before, you can take a look and sign it if there is no problem."
Li Qiu just glanced at it casually and handed the contract to Jiang Liucheng. Zhou Wenbin was taken aback by his skilled movements. Generally, if there is an agent, the agent will help the artist to read it. They look like the other way around.
After a while, Li Qiu asked Jiang Liucheng, "How is it?"
Jiang Liucheng nodded: "The terms are the same as before, there is no problem, it's okay."
Li Qiu handed him the pen: "Then sign it."
Jiang Liucheng signed his name neatly.
Zhou Wenbin couldn't help it and asked, "Aren't you an agent, why don't you watch it, let your artist watch it yourself?"
Li Qiu laughed as soon as he heard it: "No, Liucheng is familiar with the law. He looks at the contract very well, he must understand it better than me. The contract signed with Zhou Sheng Entertainment before, including the subsequent termination of the contract, was also negotiated by himself. Zhou Sheng Entertainment also lost him a sum of money."
Zhou Wenbin looked at Jiang Liucheng with a shocked expression: "Did you let Zhou Sheng Entertainment lose you a sum of money?"
Jiang Liucheng nodded, "Actually not a lot. If there are too many, the boss of Zhou Sheng Entertainment would rather spend it than take it out."
Zhou Wenbin: "How did you do it?"
Jiang Liucheng: "I just played the word game on the contract."
Zhou Wenbin: "…"
He remembered Jiang Liucheng's straightforward action when he just signed his name, and couldn't help but wonder if their contract had the same loophole.
Zhou Wenbin suppressed the doubts in his heart, "Now you are an artist of Xinghuo, the company will find a suitable opportunity to announce it on Weibo in a few days, and then you will also post on Weibo, and your future development route, You also need to confirm in advance, by the way, as well as your recent work, you must also report it, do you have any work arrangements recently?"
Li Qiu said quickly: "As for some advertising endorsements, there was an online drama before, and I will join the group soon, but there is a problem with that online drama now. I will explain this to the company later."
Zhou Wenbin: "Okay, you go to report first, I'll take Liu Cheng to visit the company."
Li Qiu: "Okay."
With Zhou Wenbin as an acquaintance, Li Qiu was really relieved. The competition among brokers was also fierce. If they dragged their family into a company, they would most likely be rejected by the people in the company. If it wasn't for Liu Cheng knew the Emperor Qin, and they really couldn't be so relaxed.
"When you come to the company later, if you want to rest, you can come here. These rooms are lounges for artists. They should be well-separated, so you don't need to worry about being noisy. In addition, you are now an artist in the company. Generally, the company will rent one for artists. Residence, if you want to rent another place, the company will pay, I suggest you change to a place with better security."
Zhou Wenbin brought Jiang Liucheng upstairs. In addition to the lounge, there were many practice rooms, and they chatted while visiting.
Jiang Liucheng refused without thinking, "The place I live now is pretty good, and I just rented it, and I live with a friend, so I don't plan to change it for the time being."
Zhou Wenbin did not force it when he heard the words, "That's fine."
Jiang Liucheng suddenly asked, "Does Brother Qin also have a lounge in the company?"
Zhou Wenbin: "Of course he does, but he hardly comes to the company now."
After visiting the company, Li Qiu was still reporting his work to the company, and Jiang Liucheng asked Li Lei to drive him back first.
The two came to the underground garage. Li Lei was about to drive the car out. A car came over, just blocking their way. The black car window came down, revealing a handsome face wearing sunglasses.
Jiang Liucheng saw that the other party took off his glasses and looked at him with a pair of smiling eyes. He was slightly startled. He didn't expect to see a man here.
