Chapter 34: Brokers and Business Shows

April 23, morning.

Wheatfield Company.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Song Ke asked Cao Jun: "Xiao Cao, I would like to ask, do you want to sign a management contract with our company?"

Cao Jun thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, I don't have this idea at the moment."

Hearing Cao Jun's answer, Song Ke was a little discouraged. He felt that his life was a bit miserable. Since he founded Wheatfield Company, he has made two artists popular, one is Pu Shu and the other is Cao Jun.

As a result, one didn't want to make money and just wanted to make music, and the other only wanted to sign a recording contract and didn't want to sign a management contract.

Song Ke seemed to feel that he had met another Pu Shu, a Buddhist artist who regarded money as dirt and did not like to take on commercial roles.

In fact, Cao Jun is not so noble. He really wants to make money and earn money by doing business and acting.

Cao Jun didn't want to sign a brokerage contract, mainly because he was afraid of not having any freedom. After signing a brokerage contract, he basically had to follow the arrangements of the brokerage company in everything he did.

Moreover, Cao Jun prefers acting to singing. He never thought that he was a serious professional singer. He always thought that he was an actor.

Song Ke refused to give up and asked again: "Xiao Cao, you have finally become famous now. There are many opportunities to make money waiting for you. Don't you want to seize these opportunities?"

Cao Jun said calmly: "Mr. Song, it's not that I don't want to make money, I just don't want to sign a brokerage contract. I prefer freedom and don't want to be bound by a brokerage contract."

Without waiting for Song Ke to answer, Cao Jun continued: "Mr. Song, how about this? I'll sign a half-year management contract with the company. What do you think?"

Song Ke thought for a while, although half a year is too short a time, it is definitely profitable. What if Cao Jun changes his mind after half a year and decides to sign a long-term contract?

With Cao Jun's current popularity and reputation, it is not difficult to earn tens of thousands of yuan per performance. If the market is good, it is not impossible to earn only 800,000 yuan.

Song Ke thought something was going on, so he said, "Okay, if you are willing to sign, I will introduce you to your agent and let him arrange a job for you."

Cao Jun also thinks this is a good idea. He will make some money in the first six months. Then he will see if he can make some money and discuss cooperation with Zhang Jizhong.

"Okay, Mr. Song, I'm sorry to trouble you."

An hour later, Song Ke brought an unattractive male agent to Cao Jun. His name was Deng Xiaojian, known as Xiaojian in the industry.

Deng Xiaojian is Pu Shu's agent and is also known as one of the most difficult agents.

But as an agent, this is not a good thing.

Why?

Just because Pu Shu does not value money and fame, he is disdainful of various current performance activities, is unwilling to show his face, and is not interested in various public appearances arranged by his agent. He often makes his agent Xiaojian half angry to death.

However, privately, Deng Xiaojian and Pu Shu were very good friends.

However, the relationship was good, Pu Shu didn't want to take the job, and Deng Xiaojian couldn't move.

Therefore, Song Ke simply ignored Pu Shu and didn't care whether he took the job or not, as long as he was happy.

Now Cao Jun happened to have no agent, and Deng Xiaojian was idle. Song Ke simply asked Deng Xiaojian to serve as Cao Jun's agent.

After getting acquainted, Deng Xiaojian said bluntly: "Xiao Cao, if you have any ideas about work, you can tell me in advance so that I can arrange work with you. For example, if you have any requirements for holidays, just say...

"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Jun said seriously: "Xiao Jian, you don't have to consider my feelings, please do whatever you want to do with me."

"Especially in the past two months, you can treat me like a donkey and arrange as much work as you can for me. I don't mind being tired."

When Deng Xiaojian heard what Cao Jun said, he immediately became excited. He held Cao Jun's hand and said, "With your words, I feel relieved!"

You know, he had only worked with Pu Shu, a Buddhist artist, but now that he met such a driven artist as Cao Jun, he suddenly felt like he had no way out despite the mountains and rivers.

Soon, Cao Jun signed a half-year contract with Wheat Field Company. In terms of income, Cao Jun and Wheat Field were divided on a 30-70 basis, with Cao Jun taking seven points and Wheat Field taking three points.

After Cao Jun signed the contract, Deng Xiaojian regained his ambition and enthusiasm. He was ready to take advantage of Cao Jun's popularity to take on more commercial performances and do something big.

Taking advantage of the popularity of "Fairy Tale", Deng Xiaojian contacted Cao Jun for several jobs in Beijing and Tianjin without any effort.

At most, Cao Jun ran three commercial performances a day, with levels ranging from 30,000 to 80,000, and usually sang two or three songs.

After a few days, Cao Jun ran almost everywhere he could.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Xiaojian began to expand his business. In addition to the capital and surrounding areas, he expanded Cao Jun's business scope to Hebei, Sandong and other provinces.

In half a month, Cao Jun ran a total of 25 games, an average of 1.6 games per day, and an average of 50,000 yuan per game. If agency fees are not included, he earned a total of about 1.25 million.

The reason why Cao Jun worked so hard to make money was mainly to save some money and see if he could discuss cooperation with Zhang Jizhong.

After this period of pondering, Cao Jun came to the understanding that if he wanted to win the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he didn't have to consider his background or backers at all, as long as he could get Zhang Jizhong.

Because Nie Yuan had a backer, he was killed, while Wang Xiaoming's backer fell, but he still got a drama contract.

Moreover, the "bearded" Zhang Jizhong was at the peak of his career at this time. Although his TV series were very controversial, he participated in the production of "The Passionate Years", "The Swordsman", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"Dragon" has become a hit on the small screen.

As the most successful TV producer in China, Zhang Jizhong has the ability to speak the truth on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". As for the investors, he doesn't care about them at all, as long as the bearded man can help them make money.

Cao Jun also checked Wang Xiaoming's background and found that his current backer is actually Cheng Zemin.

Cheng Zemin, known as Ninth Brother, was originally Wang Xiaoming's reliable person in Hong Kong and was also Guan Xi's father.

He established a financial company in Hong Kong in 1993. He was once the chairman of the listed company Junlei International. He also has a wide range of contacts in the entertainment industry. He has personal relationships with the Yang family of King Entertainment, Xiang Jia of Hua Guoxing, and Lin Jianyue of East Asia Entertainment.

.

According to media reports, Cheng Zemin owns six luxury cars with license plates all bearing "369", including three Rolls-Royce, BMW Z3 sports car, etc., with a total value of approximately 7 million yuan, and also owns nine famous horses.

At its peak, there were four chefs at home, enjoying famous dishes from China, Japan, Italy and other countries.

It is worth mentioning that Cheng Zemin loves handsome male artists. A year before Wang Xiaoming signed the contract, it was revealed by Hong Kong media that Cheng Zemin had an ambiguous relationship with a mainland male model and lent him a luxury sports car. There are still two people on the Internet today.

A lot of eye-catching pictures.

Wang Xiaoming's luck is also worrying in these cases. In the year of signing the contract, Cheng Zemin was exposed to financial crisis. Junlei International's stock price plummeted, his net worth evaporated by more than 100 million yuan, and he was also burdened with foreign debts.

Therefore, Cao Jun can see that Wang Xiaoming has almost no other high-quality film and television dramas in recent years except for the "Emperor of Han" series and Xiao Jian in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3".

As for Wang Xiaoming's rival Nie Yuan, he is known as the number one niche actor in contemporary costumes. He has played the male lead in films such as "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

Nie Yuan has also appeared as a male supporting actor in "The Long Song of Zhenguan", "Sweat Horse", "The Four Young Masters of the Capital", "The Heroine", and "Top Gun", and he can definitely be regarded as the first line-up of niche actors.

However, Wang Xiaoming only has two well-known works, one is the male lead in "The Emperor", and the other is the male supporting role in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3". He is just starting out.

Obviously, Nie Yuan is far ahead of Wang Xiaoming in terms of influence index between the two.
