Chapter 215: Dont be in a hurry about signing the contract
If the agent is strong enough, the artist may not receive as much money as the agent.
An artist is equivalent to working for an agent. If you want to get rid of a powerful agent, you can find a way to join a big company.
However, for the artist himself, it is not necessarily the best way, nor is it necessarily suitable for him.
Because the commissions taken by large companies are even more terrifying. According to rumors, some are even as high as 80%, which means that the artist himself can only earn 20%.
Therefore, this is why many actors will leave their original companies one after another as long as they are slightly famous. They would rather take the risk of terminating the contract and either find another company or open their own studio.
They clearly know that only big companies can bring them better development, but they still do this. In the final analysis, it is because the original company may be too ruthless.
The topic comes back to Da Fei and Wu Di. Wu Di used to be an extra and did not have a formal agent, let alone an agency.
The reason why Yuan Dafei was willing to invest money and follow Wu Diqian in the initial stage was because he was interested in his future earnings.
Although Da Fei didn't mention this, Wu Di also knew it very well.
When Wu Di becomes famous, and film contracts, advertisements, and endorsements come to him like a swarm, many things can be discussed.
Da Fei's expectation for the commission is definitely more than 20% to 30%. He wants more. This does not mean that Da Fei is an extremely greedy person.
Even before Wu Di became famous, he was already planning how to make money from him.
Da Fei knows that if you want to get what you want, you must pay first. This is the choice of a smart person.
Therefore, he planned to do his best to help Wu Di get film appointments, and Wu Di's promise just now happened to meet Da Fei's needs.
A promise.
A promise that everyone will get rich together and he will not be kicked off the bus midway.
So, Da Fei quickly expressed his position: "Xiao Wu, you can say this, I am really touched!"
"Actually, when you stay in the industry for a long time, you will find that, in fact, the more famous you are, the less important money is. Solid friendships and reliable partners are much more important than money."
"The entertainment industry is just a vanity fair! It's easy for people to lose themselves."
By this time, Da Fei's words sounded like he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Wu Di smiled softly and did not express any opinion.
Although he was not a member of the entertainment industry in his last life, he had seen a lot about this kind of thing about human relationships.
However, at that time, his financial situation was still very good. A group of friends supported him every day and never let him fall down.
After all his wealth was gone, he traveled back in time and had no chance to experience the feeling of being stepped on by his friends.
Speaking of which, it may also be a pity.
"Xiao Wu, do you want to sign with a company? Generally speaking, large agencies have more film dates, and most of them have cooperative relationships with famous directors." Da Fei suddenly mentioned this matter. He originally thought that no matter what Wu Di said, it would be useless.
Have to think about it.
Unexpectedly, he refused almost immediately.
"Don't be so anxious. I already have a lot of film appointments and I can't keep up with my busy schedule. Maybe when all these films are released, I will become famous and I won't need to sign a contract with a company at all. We can just open a studio and work on our own.
Wouldn’t it be nice to make money and spend it yourself?”
I didn't expect Wu Di to say this at all. Da Fei's mouth was pursed into an O shape. Didn't this idea coincide with him?
"If it can be like this, that would be the best."
Boss Wu has already arranged everything. Of course Da Fei readily agrees. Does he have any reason to object?
Couldn't find it at all.
However, there is still one thing that makes Da Fei a little concerned.
He thought for a moment and finally said: "Xiao Wu, the film in Xiangshan has not been organized yet. I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while if it wants to progress to the contract signing stage."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Wu Di could still hear the implication.
Then he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. After filming these two movies, I may have to run some promotional activities and shoot some trailers. These will take a while."
"Then, I should have another film contract with me, and the lineup is also good. When I get the exact news, you can come and consult me to see if the script is suitable."
Da Fei was startled: "What?"
"Has someone handed you a notebook again?"
Good guy, Xiao Wu is really possessed by a fairy. Before he became famous, he had a steady stream of scripts coming to his door.
"Yes, it seems to be a period film."
"Another period film?"
Da Fei also has some opinions. Objectively speaking, in fact, the two movies Wu Di has made now can be regarded as period films.
Although "Skin Change" is claimed to be a fantasy film, in fact, the actors' costumes are close to those of the Han Dynasty and are authentic ancient costumes.
I just finished shooting two movies, and another one is coming.
Da Fei had to ask with concern: "Xiao Wu, I heard that if you shoot too many costume films, you will easily lose your hair."
Wu Di's face fell instantly.
"You don't need to tell me this, I know it."
Thinking of that terrifying hood, Wu Di felt the pain of his scalp being pulled upwards.
"Brother Da Fei, if you sincerely want to be my agent, I have a favor to ask of you."
Invincible Xiao Wu's tone suddenly became so humble, which Da Fei couldn't accept.
He said hurriedly: "You say it, just say it."
"It's my job as an agent to help you solve your problems. Isn't that what I do?"
"If you help me contact film appointments, please don't let me make any more period films. If there are modern films, take them. It doesn't matter if the plot is bad. My brain can't stand it anymore!"
Big fly:……
Jingjing:……
The onlookers were collectively speechless.
In this awkward atmosphere, Xingxing Glass arrived. Before the car entered the compound, Boss Chen greeted him.
The shooting time was very tight. A few people exchanged simple greetings outside and got into the business car arranged by Xingxing.
Wu Di's guess was correct. Currently, the vehicles arranged by Xingxing were much higher grade than their own scooters.
This also shows that Boss Chen really wants to cooperate with him and has a good attitude.
"Xiao Wu, I have modified the terms of the contract as you requested. If you are free, you may wish to take a look. We will sign it now."
Wu Di waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't worry, you can wait until you get off the car and find an office to sign again."
Da Fei frequently glanced at Wu Di, but Wu Di remained unmoved.
Why not be anxious?
Hurry up and sign it before we can get the money!
What kind of brain is this?
The lake is painted?
Seeing that Wu Di didn't respond even to his desperate attempts, Da Fei had no choice but to give up.
Of course Wu Di is more anxious than anyone else about making money.
You know, among the three of them, Dafei and Jingjing still rely on him to pay their wages. If he can't make any money here, the two of them will have to drink from the northwest wind.
