After the guest appearance, Zuo Le did not leave in a hurry, but called Shen Teng.
During the filming of "The Story of a College Student", Shen Teng had signed a contract with Shanhe and officially became a Shanhe artist.
As a newcomer that Zuo Le is relatively optimistic about, Zuo Le is planning to rope in Shen Teng to play a role in the upcoming new drama "Magic Phone".
Tell Shen Teng now so that he can be mentally prepared and understand how much the company values him.
Although Shen Teng has already played the leading role in "The Story of a College Student", Shen Teng could not hide his excitement when he heard that he could participate in Zuo Le's new play.
It's no wonder that he was excited. Nowadays, Zuo Le belongs to the top group of TV drama directors. Being able to participate in the TV series directed by him, even if it is only a supporting role, is a rare experience for ordinary actors.
Shen Teng is now very grateful to his cousin Niu Ping for introducing him to Shanhe.
Shen Teng never expected that his development in Shanhe would be so smooth. As soon as he joined the company, he got the starring role in a key project of the company, and now he is participating in a new drama directed by the top domestic TV drama director.
Although it is still uncertain how many roles the character will play, if Zuo Le can speak in person, at least he is not an ordinary walk-on.
For newcomers in the film and television industry who have not yet released a film or television work, Shen Teng's experience will make a large number of people envious.
In fact, there is no need to tell anyone. When Shen Teng and Zuo Le came back from chatting, they were chased by Lei Jiayin and Guo Jinfei, and they started to drink lemons like crazy.
Fortunately for Guo Jinfei, he is the little prince of drama, and his current work focus is still in the drama industry. He came to the film and television industry mainly to test things out. Although he is also bitter about Shen Teng's situation, it has not reached the level of envy and jealousy.
However, Lei Jiayin is different.
Guo still has his own niche in drama. He has never made it into the two fields of drama, film and television.
After graduation, "Stories of College Students" was the best resource he got, thanks to his old classmate Guo Jinfei.
Therefore, Shen Teng's steady rise had a great impact on Lei Jiayin. He had thought about joining Shanhe before, but now his determination was even firmer.
…………
However, although the threshold for artists signed by Shanhe is not as high as that of directors, it is not something that actors can get in just by asking.
Lei Dada thought for a while and felt that he still had to find someone to recommend him. Among the crew of "The Story of a College Student", there were only four people including Shen Teng who could speak in front of Shanhe's senior executives.
The other three are producer Chen Mao, director Xue Jun, and senior artist Jiang Chao.
Among the four people, Lei Jiayin and Shen Teng have the best relationship, but Shen Teng is also a newcomer in Shanhe, and he is soft-spoken, so the other three are the key.
He didn't know the producer very well and couldn't talk to him. The director Xue Jun liked him very much, but Lei Jiayin was used to being trained in filming and was a little afraid of Xue Jun, so after much deliberation, he approached Jiang, the eldest brother of the crew. overtake.
He is said to be the big brother, but in fact Jiang Chao is not very old and is similar to Lei Jiayin and others. Calling him the big brother is more of a bonus to his fame and status in the industry.
Unlike Shen Teng, the three newcomers to the film and television industry, Jiang Chao has already become famous in the industry through the "Wulin Gaiden", "Senior Case Group Six" and "The Story of the Cooking Class" series, and is considered a famous golden supporting actor.
What's more worth mentioning is that Jiang Chao is the backbone of Shanhe's Kongwen Department and has a very close relationship with Shanhe's leading artists Yan Ni, Sha Yi and others. Several Shanhe directors have also collaborated with him. Although he seems inconspicuous, But I have a very wide network of people in Shanhe.
Lei Jiayin thought about it and felt that if Jiang Chao was willing to help, then it would be settled for him to enter Shanhe.
Although Jiang Chao looks a little sinister, he is actually a very good person, polite to others, and has a generous personality. He is also very friendly to Shen Teng and several newcomers, and the four of them get along well with each other.
Because of this, Lei Jiayin had the confidence to seek help from Jiang Chao.
After Zuo Le's visiting team left, Lei Jiayin found an opportunity, together with Shen Teng and Guo Jinfei, to invite Jiang Chao to have a meal outside. When the atmosphere was in full swing, Lei Jiayin took the opportunity to mention the matter to Jiang Chao.
Regarding Jiang Chao's reaction, Lei Jiayin and the others had made predictions in advance. They generally agreed readily or declined politely, or else hesitated and considered.
However, what they didn't expect was that after hearing Lei Jiayin's words, Jiang Chao's first reaction was to shake his head and laugh.
"It seems that you still don't understand Director Zuo."
Shen Teng was the smartest, and took a bottle of beer to refill the wine glass in front of Jiang Chao: "Brother Jiang, we don't have much contact with Director Zuo. You are an old man in the company, please tell us."
"Okay, let me talk to you.
Jiang Chao drank to his heart's content today, wiped his face and started to reveal: "Director Zuo, he actually has a hobby in private, that is, he likes to recruit good actors in his company.
In the early years, when he first started working with our group, he had a black hand.
In the past two years, there has been a slight convergence, mainly because the Shanhe management department has gradually begun to clarify its positioning, and decided that Shanhe artists should follow the high-quality route and not engage in large-scale trainees and newcomers like other entertainment companies.
In addition, Nijie and Xiaoge’s ranks have increased dramatically in recent times, and the company has helped consolidate their ranks. They are busy fighting with other companies every day, so there has been no big move.
But secretly, as long as they see a good prospect, the agency will show no mercy.
As far as I know, Song Jia, who previously participated in "Crossing Guandong", Sister Cao, the head of Shanhe's agency, are slowly working on it, and Li Youbin, the visual emperor, happened to have a breakup with his agency, so Director Zuo and Mr. Yan Plan to pull him over.
However, Teacher Li Youbin's qualifications and status are here. If he comes here, he may not directly sign a contract with the company. Instead, he will set up a personal studio and then be affiliated with the company.
I actually don’t know exactly how this works, I just listen to other people’s chats. We at Shanhe Artists have several Fetion groups, and we occasionally talk about company gossip in the group.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Chao paused for a moment, looked at Lei Jiayin and the others and said with a smile: "I said all this just to tell you that "The Story of College Students" is a key project of Shanhe.
Maybe you are not very clear about the concept of this key project. Let's put it this way, Director Zuo and Director Xue's goal for this drama is to be comparable to "Family with Children".
I don’t need to say more about the series "Family with Children".
Think about it, Director Zuo attaches so much importance to "The Story of a College Student", will he win the star's fame in vain and then give it up to others?
Besides, I also know the level of your acting skills. You are definitely a good talent. Based on my understanding of Director Zuo, he will definitely sit back and watch talents slip away from him.
If I guess correctly, the information of Jiayin and Jin Fei is now in the hands of the agency, and they should be evaluating your potential now. They will definitely send someone to contact you before the filming of this drama is completed.
So you don’t have to worry about asking someone to join the company. From the moment you become the leading actors in "The Story of College Students", as long as you nod your head, the agency will get you the contract right away."
…………
After eating, several people returned to the hotel rented by the crew. Jiang Chao went to rest. Lei Jiayin and the other two were still digesting what Jiang Chao had just said.
Only now did Lei Jiayin realize that he was a fan of the authorities, and at the same time he had not adapted to his current status.
If he had been nameless and unknown before, it would have been really difficult for him to enter the country.
But now, he is already the star of Shanhe's new drama, and has registered his name in front of boss Zuo Le. The difficulty of signing a contract with Shanhe is probably as simple as breaking through a layer of membrane.
After thinking about it, Lei Big Head was happy.
If I can enter the mountains and rivers, my future will be bright, and I might even be able to become a Vision Emperor...
Unlike the simple-minded Lei Jiayin, Guo Jinfei's considerations are relatively complicated.
He is a bit reluctant to part with the drama.
After all, if he joins Shanhe, he will have to follow the company's development in the future, and his career development will most likely focus on film and television. At that time, it may not be that easy to act in dramas as carefree as before.
That night, both Lei Jiayin and Guo Jinfei had insomnia, but Lei was excited, while Guo was confused.
The next day, the two went to Quancheng University to film a movie. As soon as they entered the set, they were called over by director Xue Jun. Old Xue pointed to an imposing middle-aged woman next to him and introduced them.
"This is Cao Jie, the head of Shanhe Brokerage Department, Director Cao."
"Hello, Director Cao."
Lei Jiayin and Guo Jinfei are no strangers to this name. Jiang Chao mentioned her a lot yesterday.
The senior management of Shanhe is responsible for managing artist affairs. He is deeply trusted by Zuo Le. He is a capable person and works vigorously and resolutely.
As soon as they met, they noticed Cao Jie's straightforward style of doing things. She talked too much nonsense and got straight to the point.
First, she laid out her plans and listed Shanhe's contract conditions one by one, and then said happily that Lei Jiayin and Guo Jinfei could ask her if they had any doubts or requests, and she would try her best to satisfy them within her ability.
Cao Jie's vigorous and resolute behavior infected Lei Jiayin and Guo Jinfei. After reading the contract, the two began to ask some questions about the contract, and Cao Jie patiently answered them all.
After asking, Lei Jiayin was very satisfied with the contract provided by Shanhe. The terms given above were much more generous than he had imagined. He did not hesitate much and readily agreed to sign the contract.
Guo Jinfei also had no objection to the terms of the contract, but he put forward a condition.
He hopes that after signing the contract, he can spend some time every year on the stage of the drama he loves, and the company cannot stop or interfere.
To this end, he can appropriately give up some of the superior terms in the contract.
After listening to Guo Jinfei's request, Cao Jie smiled for the first time since meeting the two of them.
"Shanhe is not a vampire company. Our mode of dealing with artists is always coexistence and win-win. We will not force artists to do things they don't want to do.
In the industry, we may not be the best management company, but we must be the most considerate management team for artists.
As long as it is a reasonable behavior, the company will not block or interfere, provided that you cannot harm the company's interests, and if there are any adverse consequences to your career, you will be responsible for it."
Guo Jinfei was very surprised and admired how generous Cao Jie or Shanhe was towards artists, and he took the initiative to extend his hand to Cao Jie.
"Director Cao, it's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's a pleasure to work with you, and I sincerely wish you both smooth sailing and success in your future development in the company."
