Before he finished his meal, Fang Jing received a call from the program team, asking him to go to a restaurant in Dongpu New District immediately if he needed help.
"Why is He Kangsheng looking for you? Isn't it because he wants to sign you?" Zhao Lei said vaguely as he picked up a chopstick of chili fish.
It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop. Fang Jing didn't avoid it when he answered the phone just now. It was almost impossible not to hear him at such a close distance.
Yu Meng's eyes were full of envy, "Really? So you are going to make your debut?"
Climbing from the grassroots to the palace in one fell swoop is something that many people dream of. For a singer, not signing a contract with a management company is no different than being a lonely ghost.
Among the people eliminated today are several grassroots people who have been working hard for more than ten years. Their singing skills are not bad, but they suffer from the fact that no management company is willing to package them.
Once someone is willing to support you and add your own efforts, the effect will definitely be thousands of times better than fighting alone.
"I don't think it's very similar!" Fang Jing shook his head, "If Magic City TV plans to sign me, then it should be from their artist department, not a program planner."
Magic City TV has more than a dozen subsidiaries, including film, television, music and variety shows, and is definitely the most powerful local leader.
To sign a little-known character like him, there is no need to send a program planner over, just any employee from the talent department can do it.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe people value you?" Yu Meng disagreed.
"Forget it, it's better not to guess. You'll know when you go. I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."
After taking a taxi, Jing arrived at the restaurant He Kangsheng mentioned fifteen minutes later. As soon as he entered, he saw He Kangsheng waving to him from the window.
In addition, there is a woman in her thirties, dressed in professional attire, with her hair pulled up, who is smart and capable.
"Mr. He is looking for me?"
"Sit down and say, I'm not looking for you, it's her who's looking for you."
"Oh!" Fang Jing and He Kangsheng were sitting in the same row. Hearing this, he looked at this woman. She had delicate eyebrows, light makeup, and a hint of perfume that made her feel relaxed and happy.
But her sharp eyes and meticulous temperament show a bit of a domineering strong woman.
"Hello, my name is Yang Ning, the agent of Huanrui World Film and Television Media. This is my business card."
After looking at Fang Jing for a few seconds, the strong woman stood up, smiled, stretched out her white palm, and then handed over a white business card.
"Hello, Sister Yang, I am Fang Jing."
Happy World, Fang Fang did not dare to show off in front of this predator, so he extended his hand very politely for a handshake, and solemnly accepted the business card.
Most people may not know this company when it comes to it, but they will understand it once they talk about the artists and investment TV series of this company.
Tales of Ancient Swords, Qingyun Zhi, Palace Lock Heart Jade, Palace Lock Bead Curtain, Notes on Tomb Robbers, Painted Skin, Glory of the Tang Dynasty, The Price of Winning Women...
There are more than 30 film and television dramas, all of which were produced and invested by their company in the previous life.
Its artists include Li Yifeng, Qin Junjie, Wang Jinsong, Yang Zi, Yang Yang, Mao Zhijun and more than 50 artists.
In addition, there are Yang Mi Studio, Tang Yan Studio, Cheng Weiting Studio, Liu Kaiwei Studio, and Jia Nailiang Studio who are cooperating under their banner.
There is always a period of time every year when all TV and Weibo screens are dominated by their company, which is said to account for half of the fashion industry.
"Lao Yang, I still have something to talk about." He Kangsheng found an excuse and left.
"Let's go slowly without seeing you off. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Yang Ning held the coffee and said, "Whatever you want to drink, it's mine today."
"A cup of tea!"
When the waiter brought the tea, Fang Jing took a sip and asked knowingly: "I wonder what Sister Yang wants from me?"
If the other party comes to visit him, he probably wants to sign him into Huanrui, but Fang Jing can't say it directly. It's better for the other party to open up about this kind of thing.
"Nothing! I'm just passing by for work, I have to leave after a meeting."
"ah!"
"Just kidding, I'll scare you." A playful smile appeared on Yang Ning's lips, the little brat pretending to be serious in front of my mother.
"It's pretty much what you think. I'm here to sign for you on behalf of Huanrui. I'm afraid you'll misunderstand me as a liar, so I called Lao He.
How about it? Are you interested in joining us at Huanrui? I think you look good. If you package it well, you will be the next Li Yifeng in a few years.
By the way, you know Li Yifeng, right? He starred in this year's Gu Jian Qi Tan, and it's already popular in half the world."
Fang nodded, how could he not know Li Yifeng? Even if he has never read his works, he often hears his name in Weibo hot searches.
As for Gu Jian Qi Tan, I am even more familiar with it. It’s not that this drama is popular, but that the drama is full of happy people.
Not to mention the male and female protagonists, Yang Mi has four or five employees. In addition, Lei Yan, Banlangen Village Chief, Sun Yueyan, and Little Black Ball are all Huanrui employees.
His family is the only one in the whole drama, and I have to say that the cast is very strong.
…
And it would be a good idea to join Huanrui. He doesn't lack songs, he just lacks a platform to show off and a professional marketing team.
With his consistent style of keeping good fortune and wealth away from outsiders, he might even be able to star in two TV series.
"Our company has cooperation with Shanghai TV, and Lao He and I are friends, so he recommended you to me.
I heard your song, you are very talented, join my team, I will not bury you."
Yang Ning took out a contract from her bag and handed it to Fang Jing, "This is a C-level contract, which is a newcomer's contract. This is usually the contract for those who have just debuted.
Look, if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me now." Yang Ning said vigorously and drank coffee alone.
There were fifteen pages in total. Fang Jing picked it up and read each page carefully, especially the smaller words, which he had to read more clearly.
Yeah! The contract is very good! The standard Overlord contract has a five-year contract period. The money earned by the artist is divided 4:2:4, with the company 40%, the agent 20%, and the artist 40%.
The company is responsible for finding jobs, and the artists do the work, or they can take it themselves. They cannot break the contract within five years, otherwise they will be fined 5 million in liquidated damages.
After half an hour, I finished watching all the scenes, put the contract on the table, and looked at Yang Ning.
"I want to ask, why did you choose me?"
"Because your commercial value meets my contract criteria, I signed it. There isn't much reason why."
"I can understand that the reason why you gave me this contract is because my commercial value is only worth this price?"
"That's right! You can think of it this way. We have to invest money and a lot of manpower and material resources for newcomers to debut. Generally, the company does not make money in the first two years."
"What if I can make money from the beginning?"
"You?" Yang Ning gave Fang Jing a strange look, "Making money is not that easy. You are not famous and have no works. You won't be able to make money for long just by relying on those two songs."
"If I enter the top ten of China Dream Voices, will I be considered a newcomer?"
"Young man, you are overthinking." Yang Ning smiled, "My contract is calculated for you based on the top ten of China Dream Voices, otherwise how would you get a high-level contract?
Most amateurs will first go to the company to be a trainee for three years, earning $1,800 a month. The company will make an appointment for you whenever a position becomes available."
Fang Jing sweated, "Then how can I get a B-level appointment? Top five?"
"Why are you so stubborn?" Yang Ning stroked her forehead, "Come on, good man, you know, right?"
"I know!" Fang nodded.
Li Yifeng, Ma Tianyu, Ren Qiaoliang, Pu Baji, Jing Boran, Wang Chuanjun, Fu Xinbai, these stars all debuted on that program.
"Li Yifeng debuted at No. 8, and he was originally offered a contract, but it was only changed to A in the past few years.
So it’s not bad to get an appointment. As long as you work hard, if you become popular in the future, the company will naturally improve your contract level without you having to ask."
Fang Jing: "I just want to ask how I can get a date?"
Yang Ning:......
"Top three! As long as you can get the top three in China Dream Voice, I will give you an appointment."
