Chapter 152 Big Oolong
"Congratulations. I originally thought you really annoyed Fang Chenglong, but I didn't expect it to be such a result!"
Zhao Dong congratulated Men Jie with a sincere smile on his face, but when these words fell into Men Jie's ears, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, before I..."
"I know!"
Zhao Dong shook his head and interrupted Men Jie's words, still with a sincere smile on his face, "When you join hands with Fang Chenglong to promote hype, you will naturally not be the leader. It is inevitable that you can't help yourself, and I don't blame you.
the meaning of!"
this……
He was originally planning to apologize to Zhao Dong, but without saying anything, Zhao Dong found a reason for Men Jie. His sincere blessing fell in Men Jie's ears, but it seemed a bit mocking.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Menjie's eyes gradually changed from hesitation to determination.
What should come will always come. Even if Menjie feels uncomfortable, there is nothing he can do about it. What should be faced will always come.
"Brother Zhao, there is something I haven't told you, not because I want to hide it from you, but because I haven't found a chance to tell you yet!"
"What's up?"
Because Menjie was about to star in Fang Jackie Chan's movie, Zhao Dong seemed very happy. After hearing Menjie's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face gradually became serious.
You can tell from Menjie's tone that something special must have happened, otherwise Menjie wouldn't be like this.
"The thing is probably that before you found me, Mei Mei came to me on behalf of the company to renew the contract with Huayi Brothers!"
"Renew contract?"
Zhao Dong frowned slightly and said with some uncertainty, "You have one year left in your contract with the company. In one year, you can shoot at least two movies. Why is the company so anxious to renew your contract?"
?”
"Actually, what the company asked me to renew was not a film and television contract, but... a music contract!"
After hesitating for a moment, Men Jie became firm and spoke softly to Zhao Dong, "You should also know that this year, since I joined the company, I have not filmed even one TV series.
I’m just a complete newbie in the TV world!”
"And in the film industry... haha, a few days ago there was news of a conflict between Fang Chenglong and I, and this morning news of a bad personal relationship between Feng Delun and I was exposed, so the company is not prepared to continue
Renew your film and television contract with me!"
"What? The company, the company is so short-sighted?"
After hearing Men Jie's words, Zhao Dong couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Although he is Menjie's agent, the first person to convey the company's ideas is Mei Mei, Zhao Dong...
In the eyes of the company, Zhao Dong is not just a member of the company. Strictly speaking, Zhao Dong should also be a member of Menjie, so the trust he receives is not as high as that of Mei Mei, which is normal.
Under normal circumstances, agents will be jealous of the company on the one hand, and be wary of them having excessive personal relationships with their celebrity artists and doing things that harm the company's interests. Star artists should also be wary of agents around them colluding with the company to harm themselves.
Interests.
It can be said that the job of an agent is very difficult. Both partners and bosses are promoting me, which seems a bit sad.
However, in Menjie's case, Zhao Dong is obviously closer to Menjie himself and is still a little different from the company. Although he will not tell Zhao Dong some things, he will not deliberately mention too much.
"In fact, the company already does this!"
Menjie shrugged nonchalantly and continued, "In terms of music...as you know, I have an album plan next. As for the third album to be produced and released, I'm afraid my contract with Huayi Brothers will be over.
It’s due, and it happens that my new album is of high quality and the results won’t be too bad. The company may be worried about me leaving Huayi Brothers, so they came to me in advance to renew my contract!”
"So what is the contract given by the company? Have you signed it?"
Zhao Dong did not immediately pay attention to Menjie's film and television issues. The first thing Zhao Dong asked was something related to Menjie's interests.
Whether as Menjie's agent or friend, it is obvious that Zhao Dong is doing a very qualified job, but the more this happens, the more guilty Menjie feels.
"I signed it. The contract was divided into two parts. The contents were very good. The first contract required that my new album sales should be between 1 million and 1.5 million copies. Except for the share of only 40%, the rest, regardless of treatment, was between the albums.
Everything is very good!”
"As for the second contract, as long as my new album sales can reach more than 1.5 million copies, I will be able to get 60% of the share. Other benefits, including album release and song collection, are on par with Huang Zheng.
In the company... I'm afraid it's second only to Yuquan Group!"
hiss!
After hearing Menjie's words, Zhao Dong couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Menjie also discussed with Zhao Dong about the sales of Menjie's new album, and the final result was naturally a base of 1.5 million, and it may be higher if it is promoted properly.
Zhao Dong naturally believed Men Jie's words. After listening to Men Jie's account, Zhao Dong instinctively believed that Men Jie had won a second contract.
The salary is comparable to or even surpasses that of Huang Zheng. In the Huayi Brothers Music Company, second only to the Yuquan Group, he has become the company's second person!
What's more, Menjie has just turned 20 this year, and his future development is limitless. In time, even becoming the "first brother" of the Huayi brothers will definitely not be a problem!
"You are already good at music, but in film and television..." After being happy for Menjie for a moment, Zhao Dong's eyes flashed with worry again, "I didn't expect that the company would be so short-sighted. Just because of some news,
That’s what happened!”
"correct!"
Just as Men Jie was about to say something, Zhao Dong slapped his forehead fiercely, as if he thought of something, "Before was before, now is now, the situation is different!"
As he spoke, Zhao Dong raised his head fiercely, his eyes flashing with excitement and said, "Before, the company thought that you had offended Fang Chenglong and Feng Delun, and were unwilling to train you in the film and television industry. But now, the relationship between you and Fang Chenglong has been restored, and it is about to resume."
You have great potential to star in his movies, and the company will definitely take you seriously when the time comes!"
"Brother Zhao!"
Menjie shook his head slightly. Although he couldn't bear to say it, Menjie still said bravely, "It happened that the company misunderstood me at that time. Simply, I proposed to Mei Mei at that time and signed the contract with the consent of both parties.
The contract has terminated my film and television contract with the company, so now... I am a free man!"
"What? This, this..." As soon as Menjie finished speaking, Zhao Dong suddenly panicked, "Menjie, you, you are too impulsive..."
"Brother Zhao, it's not that I was impulsive, it's that I saw the opportunity and safeguarded my own interests!" Men Jie shook his head slightly and said.
"Menjie, I know that if you sign a contract with the company, there will be constraints on your development, but if you leave the company, you will have fewer opportunities in the future, which will be very detrimental to your development!"
As a gold medal agent, Zhao Dong quickly calmed down after being hit by Menjie's explosive news, and hurriedly said to Menjie.
"Brother Zhao!"
However, Menjie grinned and said, "Tell me, since I joined the company, besides taking away my share of music, what else has the company done to help me?"
this……
Zhao Dong was about to say something, but suddenly thought that there seemed to be nothing to say, and couldn't help but hesitate. Taking this opportunity, Men Jie also hurriedly spoke.
"Which of the number one supporting actors in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", "Kung Fu", "Fist of Fury" and the movie about to star in Fang Jackie Chan's movie relies on help from the company?"
As he spoke, Men Jie couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Brother Zhao, I think... although I am not very famous yet, I have always had good luck. People have always approached me for filming. In terms of film and television, the company has given me almost no help.
, so I finally decided to leave Huayi Brothers in film and television, leaving only music. This company can help me continue to sign contracts!"
"What you did... is indeed right!" The thing happened too suddenly. Zhao Dong didn't think too much about it before. Now after Menjie stopped talking, he suddenly understood and thought about it for a while.
"You may not be well-known in the film and television industry now, but I believe it won't be long before "Fist of Fury", "Kung Fu" and Fang Chenglong's new film are released, your popularity will definitely soar. By then, the company
Basically, it won’t have much effect on you. Leaving the company as soon as possible is indeed beneficial to your development!”
"As for music... it's a good choice for you to stay in Huayi Brothers. After all, Huayi Brothers doesn't have many outstanding artists in music. If you stay in the company, you will definitely be able to stand out!"
"I think so too!"
Menjie nodded slightly and smiled awkwardly, "But what's a little embarrassing is...I'm a little sorry for you, Brother Zhao!"
"Sorry, I?"
Hearing this, Zhao Dong was startled and somewhat confused about what Men Jie meant.
"Well, Brother Zhao is the company's contract manager, and all the artists under him are artists of the company. Now that I have left the company in terms of film and television, Brother Zhao, I'm afraid you will only be responsible for my music and film work in the future.
I am afraid……"
"What? Are you going to go to another company, or are you going to set up your own studio and recruit a new agent?" Zhao Dong was slightly stunned and asked in surprise.
"Well... I have no plans for this at the moment..."
"That's it!" Zhao Dong spread his hands and said, "Although I am the company's agent, the contract I got is the top one. In addition to being the agent for the company's artists, I have the right to act as an agent for the company's artists.
Other celebrities act as agents!”
"Even if you leave the company now in terms of film and television, in terms of authority, I can still continue to be your agent!"
Also, can you still be my agent?
Men Jie was stunned for a moment, then a surprised smile appeared on his face, and he gave Zhao Dong a bear hug.
"That's great!"
Although I made a big mistake, the final result...
Chapter completed!
