Chapter three hundred and forty-eight to solve the misunderstanding
Fang Hui obviously came here in a hurry. When she ran to Lu Chen's office, her face was red, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and she looked anxious with a hint of shame. ↑,
"Lu Chen, I fired my agent!"
Lu Chen was startled and quickly stood up and said, "Sister Fang Hui, don't be anxious. If you have something to do, sit down and talk slowly."
Fang Hui also realized that she was wrong, nodded and sat down on the sofa.
Lu Chen made her a cup of tea.
Fang Hui was not too polite. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She felt much calmer.
She was really mad at her cousin.
After the New Year, Fang Hui has been filming a 10-episode indoor short drama. This is a work task she took over last year. Although things are different from the past, she has no idea of breaking the contract and breaking the promise.
In this industry, credibility is very important. No one likes to cooperate with someone who goes back on his word.
However, the investors were still very reasonable and gave her several times the director's salary than originally agreed upon, and she was treated very well in the crew, as she was treated like a big shot in the industry.
Including the actors, no matter they were famous or not, they all shouted "Director Fang, Director Fang" with great enthusiasm, and their attitude was absolutely respectful. No one dared to show their big name in front of her.
Fang Hui has been a director for many years, and this is the first time she has been treated with such respect and courtesy.
She knew exactly why.
Because she, Fang Hui, filmed a phenomenal TV series last year, which not only broke records domestically, but also created a ratings miracle in South Korea, becoming an instant hit in the industry!
Since the beginning of this year, many film and television companies and investors have approached her to ask her to direct, and some of them offered terms that made her heart beat.
It's just that Fang Hui currently has work on her hands, and the most important thing is that Lu Chen intends to continue to direct new dramas for her, so Fang Hui politely declines invitations from others.
Unexpectedly, Filia Chen called her today and revealed that Lu Chen was having a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with her agent. Maybe she would have to find someone else to co-operate with for the new drama. She asked her what was going on?
Fang Hui was stunned at the time.
Of course she knew that her agent was negotiating a contract for a new drama with Lu Chen's studio. After all, when it came to issues of interest, it was better for her agent to come forward, so that everyone didn't need to be embarrassed about the pay.
But because she was busy finishing the indoor drama these days, Fang Hui didn't take it into consideration. Lu Chen's new drama wouldn't be launched immediately anyway, but she never expected such a result.
Fang Hui immediately called her agent, her cousin Fang Jun, over for questioning.
Under her questioning, Fang Jun had to reveal the truth. It turned out that he had added many clauses to the new contract without authorization in order to obtain the maximum benefit for Fang Hui.
However, Lu Chen's flat refusal was unexpected by Fang Jun. He also wondered if this was Lu Chen's bargaining strategy, and was prepared to compete with Lu Chen for patience. In short, he could not give Lu Chen an advantage in vain.
In Fang Jun's view, even if she doesn't continue to cooperate with Lu Chen, Fang Hui can still cooperate with others. The investors who come to her are willing to spend big money and are much more sincere than Lu Chen.
He also thinks about Fang Hui!
After Fang Hui heard this, she wished she could spit in his face on the spot.
What is short-sightedness? Just look at her cousin. He is simply stupid!
Based on Lu Chen's personality, he will not treat those who follow him badly. The first reason why he asked Fang Hui to continue filming new dramas must be nostalgia. After all, the cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant.
But this does not mean that Lu Chen will agree to some unreasonable demands, such as copyright sharing.
Fang Hui was really pissed off by Fang Jun. Even if it was a bargain, it was rude to make such a request in the contract and it also made her lose face.
As for the investors who came to her, although the conditions they offered were very good, they were actually using her current fame to promote her. The scripts they provided were basically imitations of "Blue Life and Death".
It would be fine if the screenwriter did a wonderful job. To be honest, many of the plots made Fang Hui feel terrible after watching them. Moreover, she knew that these investors usually have roles for actors and like to recruit a group of actors who follow unspoken rules. They are often eager for quick success in production.
The last thing I shot was totally wrong.
She has a bit of a reputation now, but it's easy to ruin her reputation.
In comparison, Lu Chen is really too reliable. Fang Hui would rather join his new drama with a low salary than give in to others just to make more money.
As long as she has two or three best-selling TV series, her status in the industry will be very stable and she can make money easily.
It's a pity that Fang Jun couldn't see this. He was blinded by the interests in front of him and was too greedy.
Fang Hui even knew that Fang Jun had close contacts with several investors.
She didn't care at first, after all, everyone was selfish, but now she couldn't tolerate it anymore, so she kicked Fang Jun away decisively and came to apologize to Lu Chen in person.
She would never forgive herself for missing this opportunity.
After listening to Fang Hui's sincere explanation, Lu Chen was a little embarrassed. Speaking of which, he should have asked Lu Xi to sign a new contract with the other party earlier, so that the trouble would not have reached this point.
However, it is not too late to remedy the situation. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, everyone can still continue to cooperate.
Lu Chen admired Fang Hui's work attitude and ability to master the plot.
He said: "There is no need to kick him out. I will ask Lu Xi to renegotiate the new contract with him."
It is common for agents to make their own decisions on behalf of clients, and Fang Jun is Fang Hui's cousin. Although the conditions proposed are outrageous, they are also for Fang Hui's benefit.
Fang Hui shook her head resolutely: "It's not just about this. Just ask Lu Xi to draft a contract for me."
Her meaning was very clear. She would agree to whatever conditions Lu Chen asked.
Lu Chen wouldn't trick her on purpose, would he?
Lu Chen really wouldn't do this. He smiled and said, "That won't work. We'll talk about it after you find a new agent."
"By the way, Sister Li and I have made an appointment to visit Jingying Film Studio in the afternoon. Sister Fang Hui, please go too!"
After hearing these words, Fang Hui's heart finally fell. She smiled and said: "Are you casting for a new drama? Is your studio planning to sign a few new people?"
It is very common for star studios to sign new people. With Lu Chen's talent and strength, it is too easy to make a few new people famous.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I'm going to let Sister Li's company sign the contract and we can cultivate good seedlings together."
Fang Hui immediately understood. Her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands and said, "Then I might as well sign with Sister Li!"
This is the best way. Sister Li has an excellent reputation in the industry, so Fang Hui will not suffer any loss if she signs for it, and it also brings her closer to Lu Chen. It is a complete win-win for two birds with one stone.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then you talk to Sister Li, and we will go together."
He and Fang Hui left the studio together and drove to the Beijing Film and Television Academy to meet Sister Li.
When the two arrived at Jingying, Sister Li and her assistant were already waiting at the gate of the college.
Sister Li was a little surprised when she saw Fang Hui.
Because she heard some rumors that Lu Chen did not plan to cooperate with Fang Hui in his new drama and was looking for another director.
The rumors are obviously unreliable.
But after meeting and chatting for a few words, Sister Li understood that Fang Hui was interested in signing a contract with her agency.
She smiled and said, "That's great. As long as Director Fang doesn't think our Rainbow Company is too small, the conditions are easy to negotiate!"
The Rainbow Brokerage Company run by Sister Li is quite famous in the industry. It has many signed artists and several directors, but they are all third- and fourth-tier small directors.
In the entertainment industry, the status of directors of film and television dramas has always been the highest. First-line directors basically open their own studios and cooperate with film and television companies or TV stations. They will never succumb to a company like Rainbow Agency.
Fang Hui was originally a second- and third-tier director. With the drama "Blue Life and Death", she has suddenly entered the first-tier TV drama director ranks. It can be said that she has a bright future.
She is willing to cooperate with Rainbow Manager, which is really a big surprise for Sister Li.
A director like Fang Hui can completely serve as the company's mainstay, and if run properly, it can take Rainbow Management to a higher level.
Of course Sister Li welcomes it with both hands!——
