Chapter 540 No career is easy

While netizens were discussing heatedly, Xu Wen had almost finished preparing the meal.

Xu Wen opened the kitchen door, took out the lunch box that had been prepared long ago, and put the food into the lunch box one by one.

Xu Wen's action of putting food into the lunch box made netizens in the live broadcast room salivate.

"I don't know why, but every time I see someone putting food into a lunch box, I always feel hungry. Even the simplest tomato scrambled eggs looks great to me."

"Oh my god, I always thought I was the only one who felt this way, but it turns out you all feel the same way?"

"In fact, this is a very simple psychological suggestion. When these meals are put into the lunch box, it will give you a sense of order and that they all belong to you, so you will feel very safe."

"It seems to be true. I don't have much appetite for the food my parents cook at home and put it directly on the plate, but if it is packaged food, I seem to feel pretty good every time I eat it."

Xu Wen closed the last lunch box and put it into a big box.

Xu Wen looked at Li Dong and said, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll leave first. Mr. Zhao is waiting for me to deliver food."

Li Dong knew that Zhao Xuan occupied a very important position in Xu Wen's heart, so Li Dong did not stop Xu Wen. He simply waved his hand to indicate that he was fine and let Xu Wen go first.

Xu Wen carried the boxes into the car and drove directly to Zhao Xuan's company.

In the car, Zheng Yue smiled brightly, as happy as if she had picked up money.

Xu Wen glanced at her and then said, "Want to get Li Dong's phone number?"

Zheng Yue nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, I didn't expect that a big star would be so easy to talk to. I have gained his prestige. He said that if there is any business cooperation in the future, I can contact him."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "Yes, but you heard it carefully. He said that if there is any business cooperation in the future, you can contact him. If it's anything else, you'd better not bother him. You also know that his agent is not easy to deal with, right?"

Zheng Yue nodded and explained, "I've heard of this, but Brother Xu, there's one thing I don't understand. They say Li Dong's agent is very powerful, so why do you still dare to help Brother Li Dong screen brands? Aren't you afraid of offending that agent by doing this?"

Xu Wen was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

"I'm afraid of offending him? I was the one who brought him into the industry. When he first joined the entertainment company as a manager, he knew nothing and no one wanted him. His situation was as dire as it could be."

"By the way, I'd like to remind those people in the live studio who want to be agents for celebrities that this is definitely not a good job. Not only is it tiring, but you can't make much money, and most importantly, you have to take risks."

"It would be fine if you met an idol like Li Dong who is easy to deal with. After all, he is a bit stupid and basically won't go out to cause trouble. He just likes to stay at home. But if you meet an idol who likes to cause trouble outside, it will be too troublesome. You two may end up in jail."

Hearing Xu Wen's serious words, Zheng Yue's eyes widened. "It's not that serious, is it? Will an artist and his agent go in together?"

Seeing Zheng Yue looking like she had never seen the world, Xu Wen said, "Have you heard of the agent's code of conduct?"

Zheng Yue shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of it.

Xu Wen took advantage of his free time while driving and simply introduced himself to Zheng Yue.

"The so-called agent code is actually a contract. This contract is signed for 20 years and is signed by both the agent and the star."

"The content in the contract is quite normal. It's nothing more than the agent's personal commission and other things are closely related to the star he is working with. In other words, if the star makes more money, then you as the agent will get more commission."

"On the contrary, if your star cannot make money, or can only make very little money, then your commission will also be reduced, and it may even be better for him to wash dishes in a restaurant."

"So for these agents, the stars they have are their careers and futures. If something goes wrong with these stars, they won't have any income in the future and their lives will be ruined."

After hearing what Xu Wen said, the naive Zheng Yue did not realize what this meant.

"If a star under your management has problems, can't you just replace him with another one? There's no need to hang yourself on a tree. Why do you say that if a star is ruined, the agent is ruined?"

Xu Wen said meaningfully: "That's because the stars and the agents are one and the same. Unless you are an excellent agent, once a star under your management has a problem, your company will hide you and the star together."

"If you want to terminate the contract, you will need to pay a huge penalty. Not to mention that when you get used to your previous life, you are suddenly asked to return to the days of poverty. I believe most people can't survive it."

After listening to what Xu Wen said, netizens in the live broadcast room nodded and agreed with him.

"I had a friend who was an agent. He was called an agent, but in fact, the job was very tiring and hard. He was like a celebrity's parent. He had to take care of everything about the celebrity. If there was any problem, my friend would have to handle it all by himself. It was really tiring."

"Many people think that agents make money, but that's not the case. At the beginning, you can only be a small assistant because you have just graduated from college and don't know the rules of the entertainment industry. How can the company directly promote you to be an agent and let you manage celebrities?"

"When I first started working as an assistant, it felt like I had no human rights. I had to handle everything and solve everything. Moreover, the salary was very low, and I often had to pay for everything myself."

"And even if you become an agent, it's not easy to get into this circle. You have to start going to various entertainment venues on behalf of the stars under you, blocking their drinking and so on. I can only say that if you don't have a good alcohol tolerance, you don't even have the qualifications to be an agent."

Obviously, some netizens in the live broadcast room are in this business, so they know very well how deep the water is in this industry.

Now that Xu Wen has mentioned this topic, these netizens can finally stand up and speak out.

Xu Wen parked the car in the company's parking lot and said to Zheng Yue, "Remember, the more glamorous the job is, the harder and dirtier it is. There is no job in this world that makes money easily. They are all difficult."
