Zhang Jianzhang rubbed his temples with his index finger: "Friendship? If you say that because of love, I can ignore your age and accept it. But you actually gave up such a good opportunity for 'friendship'?"

Chen Minhao corrected quietly: "It's not friendship, it's a great revolutionary friendship with common ideals and demands."

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of relationships between artists and agents.

The first relationship is the employment relationship, which is more common in China. Artists use agents to manage their careers, while agents enjoy the share of artists’ income. Under this relationship, agents have weak restraints on artists.

The second relationship is the superior-level relationship, which often occurs in artists who have just debuted or trainees who have not yet debuted.

Under this relationship, agents hold the power of life and death over artists. In order not to be hidden and to receive more work, artists will please their agents.

But no matter what kind of relationship it is, all agents hope that their artists can make more money so that they can make more money.

Kang Hui is a brilliant and bizarre flower among the agents. As a realistic idealist, she can manage Chen Minhao's career in an orderly manner, but she also has her own feelings.

She doesn't care how much money she can make, what she cares about is whether Chen Minhao can become a global superstar.

Chen Minhao believes that it is difficult to find such a like-minded agent in this world.

Not to mention that Kang Hui's current skill has reached the full level.

Zhang Jianzhang saw Chen Minhao's serious expression, and he did not intend to continue discussing whether Chen Minhao's approach was right or wrong. After all, his purpose today was to convince Chen Minhao, rather than to have a debate with Chen Minhao, and then to defeat Chen Minhao.

Zhang Jianzhang sighed, lit a cigarette and asked, "Don't you think Tian Xiang and I were so disinterested in the beginning, right?"

Chen Minhao narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head.

Zhang Jianzhang took a strong breath of cigarettes, vomited a cigarette ring, and talked about the past:

"More than ten years ago, in order to receive some characters with lines, I chose to sign a contract with Tianyi. Tian Xiang had just changed from an artist assistant to an agent. At that time, my meager income had to supplement my family income. At that time, some crews in Xiangjiang only paid for lunch, and they had to pay for lunch for dinner." Zhang Jianzhang paused and said, "Because I was poor, every time I arrived at dinner time, I would pretend to go to a restaurant. In fact, I would go out for a walk, and wait until the others had almost finished their meals, I would come back."

Chen Minhao did not interrupt Zhang Jianzhang without saying a word and continued to listen to him.

Zhang Jianzhang's face showed a smile from the bottom of his heart and said, "But once I was discovered by Tian Xiang. When I was young, I was very proud of my face. I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but Tian Xiang pretended not to know anything, which made me feel relieved.

But after that day, he stopped eating lunch boxes on the crew at night. Every night after the crew finished work, he took me to his night market shop to eat pork sausage noodles. He told me that the pork sausage noodles broke if they couldn't be sold that day, and I wasted it if I didn't eat it. I believed it at that time and followed him happily every day."

Zhang Jianzhang sighed and said, "But later I realized that he asked his parents to keep two bowls of pork sausage noodles every day for us to finish work. He had quarreled with his father several times about this."

Zhang Jianzhang added: "I swear in my heart that Tian Xiang is my lifelong brother."

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: Is it the brother who was stabbed twice?

Zhang Jianzhang noticed Chen Minhao's expression and explained with a smile: "Of course he is also my brother now, and he will still be my brother in the future. Even if he withdraws from the Dream of God, I will not treat him badly in money. In the future, as long as he speaks, I will do my best to help him."

After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Jianzhang continued, "I told you about these old sesame and bad rice, which is to let you understand a truth: people will always become, and no matter how good the brothers are, they will have differences due to their ideas, opinions, etc., and even part ways."

Chen Minhao nodded and agreed. He didn't want to evaluate Zhang Jianzhang's approach. Everyone in this world has their own way of living. As long as the other party's approach is within the scope of the law, Chen Minhao felt that he didn't need to be this "keyboard warrior".

He understood the meaning of Zhang Jianzhang's story: brotherhood, friendship, etc. will change over time.

But Chen Minhao felt that he was not Zhang Jianzhang, and Kang Hui was not Tian Xiang, and the two did not have Shi Xiang. The cornerstone of their cooperation was like-mindedness.

Seeing that Chen Minhao was not touched at all, Zhang Jianzhang sighed and said, "You are still young now, and you may regret today's decision in the future."

Chen Minhao said decisively without hesitation: "Then wait for me to regret it."

Zhang Jianzhang laughed and said, "Forget it, no matter how much I say, it will not hide the envy, jealousy and hatred of my old man for youth. But what makes me happy is that you will not be too young for too long. I hope you don't regret your current decision in five years."

Chen Minhao helped Zhang Jianzhang fill the tea and said, "Actually, I understand what you mean, people will change. To be honest, no one can tell what the future will be like. I just think that people should live in the present. Maybe I reject this proposal today, and I will regret it in 5 years, but if I agree to your proposal, I probably start to regret it."

Zhang Jianzhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? If you stayed in Shenmeng as the second shareholder, I would not drive Kang Hui away. If Kang Hui left because of this, it means that your friendship is nothing more than that."

Chen Minhao laughed, he ignored Zhang Jianzhang's sow discord, and he smiled and said, "But this is a betrayal of many efforts in the past. Kang Hui has made a lot of efforts to set up an independent studio. You may not believe it when you say it. Although my studio has no shadow at all, 15% of the studio's shares have already been promised to go out, Kang Hui 10% and Wu Hanji 5%. "

Zhang Jianzhang sighed, curled his lips and said, "Actually, as long as you think about it, we can find a way to solve these problems. In fact, in essence, you just want to open your own studio, and there are some excuses to say too much else."

I have to say that Zhang Jianzhang is quite accurate in judging people. In the final analysis, Chen Minhao is unwilling to do so.

If Chen Minhao is willing, Kang Hui can understand and Wu Hanji has a way to solve it.

Although Chen Minhao knew that Zhang Jianzhang was throwing out a piece of fat: a second shareholder of the agency with 23 debut artists and 106 trainees without debut, Chen Minhao still wanted to be the first shareholder in his small studio.

Chen Minhao chose to default on Zhang Jianzhang's statement, and Zhang Jianzhang fell into silence.

Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell you about this matter with Tian Xiang, and I won't let you and Tian Xiang get embarrassed."

Zhang Jianzhang nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, because what I said before is true. I drove him away because I wanted you to join the dream of God. But because my philosophy is really different. He regards artists as tools for exploitation, and I don't think this is the long-term way."

Chen Minhao thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever talked to him about this issue? How could you get to where you are today when you had such a good relationship?"

Zhang Jianzhang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how many times we quarrel about this problem. No matter what I say, he only stumbles on one sentence, 'Tianyi is more harsh than we are on artists, but Tianyi's market value has been rising every year.'"

Although Chen Minhao didn't deal with Tian Xiang much, he felt that Tian Xiang was also a talented person just because he just wanted to say this to Tian Xiang.

Chen Minhao suddenly remembered what Zhang Jianzhang said just now, and he immediately asked: "Is this why you gave up listing on the New Third Board instead of choosing to go public?"

Zhang Jianzhang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became firm: "You are really smart. You can infer a lot of information from just a few words every time. This is indeed the reason. I think that since Tian Xiang likes to speak with the market value of a listed company so much, I will use the market value of the company to tell him that he is wrong. Let him know that using artists as tools for exploitation is not a long-term way."

Chen Minhao was shocked. It was really like this. What kind of immortal ceo is this?

He did so much and even drove his brother out of the company. He was not for money or power, he just wanted to prove that his ideas were right.

The powerful actor is so terrifying.

Zhang Jianzhang felt that since the negotiations had not been reached, he would not delay the situation, so he said goodbye and left directly.

Chen Minhao digested the content, reviewed the possibility of his plan, and stood up and left.

As soon as Chen Minhao walked out of the mealtime door, the waiter chased him out: "Sir, you haven't paid the bill yet."
