When Hu Shuo sold Li Ziwei and Wang Minge, they were asked to guest star in "Love Apartment", and now Chen Zihua is asked to guest star on the set of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
Hu Shuo's conditions don't seem too excessive, but exchanges often have to be based on the values of both parties. Although Li Ziwei and Wang Min are both diva-level singers, their status and influence in the music world are not considered.
First-class, although the two of them almost never make guest appearances in movies and TV series, given their reputations, even if they do guest roles in movies and TV series, the price is only one to two million.
Therefore, if we look at it from the perspective of exchange value alone, if Hu Shuo comes up with a song and Li Ziwei and Wang Min play guest roles in "Love Apartment", both parties will not lose money and can accept it.
However, Chen Zihua is different. His net worth is much higher than that of Li Ziwei and Wang Min, and he is not only a singer, but also an actor who has won multiple film awards.
At present, Chen Zihua's salary is around 50 million, and a star like him usually does not make guest appearances. The occasional guest appearances are mostly because it is a friend's play, and he used to help support it, and this kind of guest appearance is not worth watching
It's just love, and I won't take money.
If he had to be asked to play a cameo role, the offer would never be less than 15 million!
After all, as long as a celebrity like him appears in a movie, it will be an explosive publicity point. Therefore, according to Hu Shuo's routine, the exchange value between the two parties is actually unequal.
In addition, this is not simply a matter of unequal exchange value. If Hu Shuo made such a request, it would be a bit pretentious and would seem a bit arrogant.
"Brother Hu, I think it's best for you not to impose such conditions."
Li Ziwei expressed her opinion. Chen Zihua's invitation to sing was a good thing for Hu Shuo, but if he insists on asking the other party to make a guest appearance, it will naturally not be good. If he really offends the other party because of this matter, it will be a bad thing.
It’s more than worth the gain.
Hu Shuo also knew that Li Ziwei was thinking about herself, so she nodded: "Let's do it this way. I'll write the song first. If he likes the song, we'll negotiate the terms."
"Well, this is best."
Li Ziwei nodded and said: "By the way, one more thing. The post-production of the song you and Zuo Zuo recorded has been completed. Are you going to release it on the Internet, or do you have other plans?"
"Did you finish the post-production so quickly?" Hu Shuo was a little surprised. It only took two days for the song to be recorded.
"Of course I have to let them finish your song quickly!" Li Ziwei said matter-of-factly.
"Hey, let me thank Sister Wei first."
Hu Shuo thought for a while and then said: "In that moment, please send me the finished product first, and I will listen to it first."
"Okay, then you can handle it yourself~!"
Li Ziwei nodded. In fact, she didn't like the song "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain" recorded by Hu Shuo and Zuo Zuo. In her opinion, the song was too "non-mainstream".
However, Li Ziwei could also see that the song "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain" was Hu Shuo's entertainment work. In this case, of course, the quality of the song could not be too high.
The next day.
It's still noon.
Two agents introduced by Li Ziwei to Hu Shuo came to the set.
Both are women, one is in his early forties and the other is in his early thirties. One has short, sleek hair and the other has long, straight black hair.
No matter in terms of age, appearance, temperament or dress, they have two completely different styles.
The short-haired woman in her early forties is named Zhang Ying. She is considered a senior agent and has managed several second-tier stars. However, a female star she recently managed married into a wealthy family and temporarily withdrew from the industry, so she has been free.
.
The woman with long black hair is named Xu Yuanyuan. She has been in the industry for a short time, only five or six years in total. However, since Li Ziwei introduced her, she must have met Hu Shuo's requirements.
"Two, the current situation of our company's artists is like this. There are two artists with long-term contracts, Sun Dasheng, who plays Lu Ziqiao in "Love Apartment", and Liu Xiaoxiao, who plays Hu Yifei."
"Besides the two of them, I myself can be considered an artist of the company, and there is another one who is a shareholder of our company, Feng Haibo. You should be aware of his situation. It is estimated that he will not have any jobs in the near future!"
"In addition to the four of us, the company also has three artists whose contracts only have a little more than a year left. However, none of the three have stated whether they will renew their contracts with the company. They may terminate their contracts at any time. However, at least they are still members of the company.
So, let’s first divide the artists we want to bring.”
The issues of benefits and sharing have already been discussed, and both parties have no objections. Therefore, Hu Shuo briefly introduced the current company's artist resources to the two of them.
"Yuanyuan, you choose first, I can do it." Zhang Ying is an old-timer after all, but he was very generous and signaled Xu Yuanyuan to choose the artist first.
"Sister Ying, this is not good." The agent takes a commission on the artist's income, so naturally the higher the artist's worth, the higher the agent's income will be.
However, people like Zhang Ying and Xu Yuanyuan are not independent agents, but are affiliated with Chuangshi Entertainment. Therefore, their commissions are not as high as those of independent agents.
"Sister Yuanyuan, since Sister Ying has said so, you can choose!" Hu Shuo waved his hand gently: "Actually, the artists in our company all have similar starting points. They all started in the drama "Love Apartment"
Notability.”
"Well, okay then."
Seeing that Hu Shuo, as the boss, had spoken, Xu Yuanyuan did not refuse. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Then I will take Sun Dasheng, Liu Xiaoxiao, and Xu Meng with me!"
After finishing her words, Xu Yuanyuan added: "Sister Ying is more capable than me, so Mr. Hu must leave it to Sister Ying."
"Sister Ying, do you think this allocation is okay?"
Hu Shuo looked at Zhang Ying. He knew that Xu Yuanyuan actually did not dare to take him. After all, he was the boss of the company, and it would be very stressful to take him.
"Can."
Zhang Ying nodded and did not raise any objection to this distribution result.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
With that said, Hu Shuo waved to Zhang Lu who was standing by: "Xiao Zhang, first take Sister Yuanyuan to get to know Dasheng and Xiaoxiao."
"Okay, Mr. Hu."
Zhang Lu nodded and immediately left the lounge with Xu Yuanyuan.
"Does Mr. Hu have anything to explain?"
Seeing that Hu Shuo seemed to have sent the two of them away intentionally, Zhang Ying asked curiously as soon as the two left.
"It's just a little thing."
Hu Shuo smiled and said, "I have a lot of identities, so, Sister Ying, please take note of them in detail."
"Eh? There are a lot of identities???"
Zhang Ying didn't quite understand what Hu Shuo meant and was a little confused.
"That's it..."
Hu Shuo cleared his throat and said slowly: "First of all, in the literary circle, I have a pen name, Hu Zuozuo..."
"Well??"
"Hu Zuozuo is actually you, Mr. Hu???"
Zhang Ying, who had always been very calm, couldn't calm down after hearing this, with a look of astonishment on her face, because Zhang Ying's daughter likes "Zo Zuo's Story" very much, so Zhang Ying still has a crush on Hu Zuo Zuo, a children's writer.
I know it very well. Especially, the poetry competition on Weibo some time ago even made Hu Zuozuo fight to become a god!
Hu Zuozuo's fame has also reached its peak, and he is definitely the most popular "fried chicken" in the literary circle today.
However, Zhang Ying never expected that the handsome and suave young man in front of her would be Hu Zuozuo. It was hard for her to imagine how the man in front of her could write fairy tales like "Snow White" and "Cinderella".
