I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 474 Perhaps one day, we will go our separate ways

But the less Jinli cares about money and the simpler her expenses are, the more the company will have to help her deal with the tax on money.

Jinli doesn't attend many announcements, but when she does, she usually receives a large amount of announcement fee.

Her expenses were all clearly stated, so she didn't need to look for a special accountant to do the statistics. Jinli only needed to glance at the accounts to know her income and expenses.

In this case, if Chenxi Entertainment still can't handle Jinli's tax affairs, then it will really have to die to apologize.

Sui Lingfang came here to talk to Jinli about the joint endorsement.

After Jinli clearly refused, Sui Lingfang immediately picked up the phone and informed the co-branded companies one by one, conveying Jinli's intention to them.

Originally, these companies only proposed the endorsement matter yesterday, thinking that Chenxi Entertainment would need several days to give them a clear answer.

Now I can receive a reply on the second day, which is too efficient.

Every company leader was a little surprised when they heard what Sui Lingfang mentioned.

The advertisement cannot be promoted, and the first-tier light luxury brands Lingyu and Lanxi are the most unacceptable.

After receiving Sui Lingfang's reply, their leaders all asked questions repeatedly.

"Are you sure Jinli knows the price we offered? Have you told her that we are sincere and that we can continue to raise the price if she is not satisfied with it?"

When Sui Lingfang heard what they said, her expression immediately fell, and she said in a serious tone:

"Jinli is right next to me now, do you want to ask her in person?"

The person in charge looked embarrassed, but there was no need to be so unpleasant.

If Jinli was right beside them, the conversation between the agent and them would surely be clear to her.

These responsible persons originally wanted to fight for it, but after hearing what Sui Lingfang said, they did not dare to persuade her any further. They just made it clear that they understood and quickly hung up the phone.

Sui Lingfang put away her phone and shrugged helplessly at Jinli.

"If you continue like this, I think many brands will think that Chenxi Entertainment is a stumbling block for you. Why don't they let you take any notices?"

Jinli smiled and comforted him: "My family knows my own business, and you have always respected my choice."

Fearing that she might have other ideas in her mind, Jinli gave her another reassurance.

"Sister Fang, my cooperation with Chenxi Entertainment has always been very pleasant, otherwise I would not have recommended Xi Mengze and Zhenzhu to come to Chenxi."

As a first-line star, it seems that he has already reached a high position in the entertainment circle, but his power in the circle is actually not as great as imagined. His power lies in his influence outside the circle.

There are many first-line stars who have struggled for five or six years, and only after signing a contract extension with the company can they get some autonomy in announcements.

Even more stars are unable to make their own announcements during their collaboration with the company, unless they leave the company and open their own studio.

But her contract with Chenxi Entertainment is very special, and she has complete autonomy over announcements, which was agreed upon long ago.

Jinli has always felt that Chenxi Entertainment has performed its contract quite well, but today, after hearing the communication between the agent and the brand, she suddenly realized that while Chenxi Entertainment turned down these announcements, it was actually also under a lot of pressure.

But the company didn't tell her about these pressures.

The entertainment industry also values ​​personal connections and mutual benefit.

If a company wants to develop its own network, it is inevitable to let artists participate in announcements arranged by brands.

This is both a business behavior and a face-saving cooperative behavior.

Because she refused without hesitation, Chenxi Entertainment more or less attracted the hatred of the brand in the process.

This is also why some brands questioned that Chenxi Entertainment had not mentioned the announcement to Jinli, because Jinli had rejected too many times.

Judging from her schedule, it doesn't seem like she is at the level of a top star in the circle.

Even if Jinli's health is not good, it is impossible for her to not receive a notice once a month.

Jinli's Buddhist attitude puzzled many brands that had a lot of money and hoped that she would participate, so they questioned her.

Sui Lingfang said: "You signed a contract with the company for completely independent announcements. If the company cannot give you autonomy, with your influence, you can always leave Chenxi Entertainment. The company is very self-aware of this, and that's not what I'm worried about."

With the current way Chenxi Entertainment operates, it is difficult to cultivate second-tier artists that belong to the company alone. Chenxi has no choice but to go the path of being pro-artists.

Sui Lingfang paused, her expression a little serious, "I'm worried that if you reject too many offers, it might cause a backlash from the brand."

“Let me tell you something, brands are actually very arrogant and think money can buy everything.

More than one brand suspected that we were not telling you the truth. They always thought that the price they offered was very high and their attitude was very sincere. As long as you were interested and willing to talk to them, they would be sure to win you over. "

“You are very popular now, and brands are begging you to do things, so they can’t do anything about your rejection.

Just in case, I mean just in case, if one day you are no longer so popular, even if you are still in the first tier, there is no guarantee that those brands will not step on you in return.”

Jinli thought about it for a while. The relationship between companies and brands is complicated, and the relationship between celebrities and brands is equally complicated.

She humbly asked: "Sister Fang, what do you think I should do to avoid being stepped on by them?"

Sui Lingfang quickly gave two clear answers, which were obviously something she had thought of long ago.

“Participate in more announcements from first-tier brands and maintain good relationships with them. This will not only broaden your network, but also take your career to the next level.”

The next second, she changed the subject, "But I know you won't choose this, so I'll give you my second suggestion. Brands are more valuable when they are good, not when they are numerous. You only need to choose 2-1 brands and run them for a long time."

Jinli's eyes flickered: "You want me to have a good relationship with Fangfei."

Sui Lingfang said frankly: "It's not that I want to, but among all the brands that you can easily build a good relationship with, only Fangfei.

You have the deepest cooperation with Fangfei, and Fangfei's designers seem very satisfied with you. You have an innate advantage over other stars."

Jinli silently kept Sui Lingfang's instructions in mind and asked curiously: "Why did you suddenly mention this to me? With you by my side, I think you can help me handle it."

Sui Lingfang looked at Jinli's pure and lovely face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Jinli, you think too highly of me. I am a human being and everyone makes mistakes. I am worried that one day I will make a mistake in judgment and cause you to make the wrong decision.

Moreover, as your career has developed to date, I have rarely taken the initiative to introduce you to any announcements. Most of the time, opportunities come to you on their own initiative, and all I can do is help you organize them.

So I hope you can learn more about the rules of the circle, so that if one day you no longer need me, you can fly out freely. "

Jinli's expression changed slightly, and she vaguely guessed Sui Lingfang's thoughts.

When she was still a pink girl, she heard some gossip about agents in the circle.

Some outstanding and excellent agents will choose to let go of an artist after bringing him to the top of the list, and continue to select potential stocks that have not yet debuted for training. All good things must come to an end, and few agents will continue to work with the same star until retirement.

Agents who dare to do this are considered ace agents in the circle.

They are no longer simply managing artists, they have good relationships with various companies and brands, and they enjoy the feeling of personally lifting a dusty pearl onto the altar.

This will give those agents a great sense of professional accomplishment.

And to be honest, when a star reaches the top level, the agents and companies can actually give them less.

Unless they are relatively powerful brokerage companies, such as first-tier entertainment companies like Tianding Entertainment, they can still provide first-tier stars with a steady stream of resources.

In those second- and third-tier entertainment companies, they still have to rely on first-tier stars to bring resources to the company.

But for the top first-line stars, such as Marchday.

Their announcement resources are all top-notch, and it is no longer possible for Tianding Entertainment to finalize them directly. Instead, they have to go through layers of selection by the brand, and the company can provide very little help.

After all, which celebrity who is chosen by top luxury brands as a global spokesperson would not excel in popularity, traffic and reputation?

Jinli looked at Sui Lingfang deeply, and her heart warmed when she thought that this body was very weak and unpopular in the past, but Sister Fang insisted on visiting her every month.

She is a very sentimental person. When she came to the world, she had a blank mind and not many things could move her, so she cherished the opportunity to meet everyone.

Jinli said softly: "Sister Fang, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. Even if we are no longer in the relationship of artist and agent, you are still my friend."

Sui Lingfang seemed to have unloaded a huge stone from her heart and smiled with relief.

"In fact, I wanted to tell you these words a long time ago, but I was afraid that you would make wild guesses and make you feel uneasy.

But today when I watched your performance in Pond Village, I suddenly realized that you have grown far better than I thought.

You have long been able to stand on your own as an actor, so I decided to talk to you about this kind of topic."

This was not the first time she felt useless in front of Jinli.

She didn't need to fight for Jinli's notice, as there was a special team to screen scripts for her.

Many times, it was Jinli who received a notice outside and specifically told her so that she could include it in her schedule.

But is this kind of work difficult?
Even an assistant can do this.

If Xi Mengze had not later switched jobs and chosen her to be his agent, giving her something to do, perhaps she would have discovered the doubts and thoughts in her heart earlier.

Does she love being an agent?
Sui Lingfang would ask herself this question many times when she woke up late at night due to anxiety.

That must be a passion.

Because of her passion and pursuit of the career of agent, she was able to discover that her relationship with Jinli had actually been out of balance for a long time.

And after He Yixuan's job-hopping, she felt that she seemed to have never understood artists.

Now Sui Lingfang had to admit that she was very lucky.

Because Jinli was good enough, she basically encountered no difficulties in leading Jinli, and she would actively seek notices.

But this is because the artist is striving to do well, not because she has a great agent.

On the path of becoming an agent, Sui Lingfang feels that she still has a lot to learn.

After talking with Jinli, Sui Lingfang smiled more often, and became more relaxed with people and things, and no longer deliberately put on a serious face.

Xiao Cheng and Chen Qin could both notice that Sister Fang was in a good mood. They thought: Maybe she hasn’t relaxed and rested for a long time, so she was so happy to come to Chitang Village.

During this period, Xu Wenwen had more contact with Sui Lingfang because she had discussed the plot with Jinli many times.

One day, Xu Wenwen suddenly whispered to Jinli, "I feel like your agent is like a friend to you. She gives me a different feeling than the one I saw in Dream Builder."

Jinli raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "What kind of person did you think she was last time?"

Xu Wenwen thought for a moment and said, "Smart, capable, strong, but very gentle towards you."

Jinli thought for a moment: "Maybe she let go of some invisible pressure, so her attitude towards me changed, but it doesn't matter, as long as she treats me well."

"Invisible pressure?"

Xu Wenwen didn't understand what she meant. "With such an outstanding artist like you, how could she feel pressured? If my agent were to manage you, he would probably be so happy that he would go crazy."

Jinli chuckled, skipped the topic, and asked her how she felt about the recent filming.

Xu Wenwen frowned and said pessimistically: "I still feel like I can't get into the right state. My acting is a bit deliberate. Compared to you, I seem very unnatural."

She thought for a moment and said bluntly, "I feel that your acting in this drama has put more pressure on me than the last time you acted in Dream Builders. You acted very easily. You have a great talent for acting and are growing very fast."

Jinli was a little embarrassed.

Once upon a time, she could actually become a very talented actress in the eyes of actors.

But she knew that it was because of the blessing of Zhong Kui's magical power that she was able to play the role of "village official" more easily.

"If it really doesn't work, you can go to the village chief more often and see how the village cadres do it." Jinli suggested.

Just then she remembered something and said, "I have something to ask the village chief, too. How about we go together now?"

Xu Wenwen agreed immediately.

Jinli called Sui Lingfang, and the three of them went to the village chief's office together.

Before I reached the door, I heard a noise coming from the office.

"Village Chief, I'm just bringing tourists in for a tour. It's only for half an hour. I'm watching him the whole time. He can't run away!"

The village chief glared at the villagers unhappily, "You said he can't run away, so he won't run away? What if the person you brought in is a paparazzi?"

Jinli and others stood outside the door, feeling a little embarrassed.

They didn't mean to eavesdrop, but the door was not closed tightly, leaving a small part of it exposed.

People inside cannot see people outside, but their voices can be heard.

The village chief was busy, and they originally wanted to go home, but when they heard the word "paparazzi", the radar in Sui Lingfang's heart started to buzz.

She pulled them together with a serious look and decided to knock on the door.
