Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 717: Spreading branches and leaves

Being in the entertainment industry is all about fame and fortune.

At least 80% of people in the industry are doing this.

Of the remaining 20%, half only treat this business as a job, just like ordinary people working at a job.

Less than 10% of them really treat performance as art.

And now, the big pie that Zhang Yuan painted for Zeng Jia is fame and fortune!
The name is to become his agent.

Profit means getting a share of his profits.

According to the social circle, Zhang Yuan has been a "land-legged farmer" working on his own since his debut.

He does not have his own agent.

Whether it is Cheng Hao or Yang Siwei who was later brought in by her, they are actually more like his agent assistants.

Help with contracts and chores.

In fact, the most important job of an agent is to help his artists find jobs.

Including selecting the crew, reviewing the script, and contacting business.

Why is it that most stars who work in small workshops or whose relatives serve as agents don’t remain popular for long?

Because before the agent does these things, he has a more important job.

That is to help artists plan their career path!

Is he a fighting star, an idol, or an actor with great acting skills?

In the end, there is still a question: should we go for the public traffic route or the fan-attracting route?

Even whether to attract fans or haters, you need to make plans.

And it has to be a long-term plan.

But this is only the first step, and the subsequent execution is the highlight.

No matter what the matter is, the theory is easy, but the difficult part is execution.

Especially when it comes to people.

Because some people appear to be able to take care of themselves, but in fact they are either mentally retarded or brain-damaged.

It's easy to do something against the will of heaven.

Sister Hua is known as a "nanny-style" agent. She has to take care of not only the work but also the life of the artist at all times, just to prevent the artist from having convulsions or going crazy to a great extent.

The family-run brokerage model has no long-term planning, and since the brokers are relatives, they are unable to effectively restrict each other.

In many cases, the relatives and agents of celebrities are even more crazy than the celebrities themselves.

And Zeng Jia thought.

Zhang Yuan doesn't need to plan his own career path, he has his own ideas.

Zhang Yuan didn't need to contact the crew himself because he knew more people than himself.

Zhang Yuan didn't even have to help negotiate the contract himself. All the important contracts of the company were negotiated personally by him as the boss.

Plus his popularity and acting foundation.

If it comes into my hands...that would be a pure bargain!
It means that he has prepared all the dishes, laid out the dishes and chopsticks, and put out hot towels, and then he can just go to the table and eat.

Which agent can refuse this condition?

Zeng Jia thought, let alone herself.

Today Zhang Yuan said he wanted to find an agent for himself, and tomorrow all the most famous agents in the capital will line up and bang on his door!
Even his master Li Xiaowan was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

But Zeng Jia quickly calmed down.

Zhang Yuan's situation is very special.

Not only does he not need an agent to help with planning and supervision.

He will also help his agent with planning and supervision as a boss!

The relationship between Party A and Party B is interchangeable.

She knew that the so-called agent contract was actually just a nice-sounding title for her, and at the same time, it was a way of paying her to work for him.

Read as agent, write as younger brother.

And the additional conditions given by the other party are not low!

Zhao Liying, Zhang Tianai and Wan Qian will have a three-year incremental agreement.

100 million in the first year.

150 million in the second year.

200 million in the third year.

She must reach this income line before she can fully receive the share given by Zhang Yuan.

She can make use of the company's resources and Zhang Yuan's connections, and she can figure out the specific methods herself.

The boss only wants results.

These three are in the early stages of their acting careers and are not yet qualified to worry about image issues.

The real thing is to show up more often, have a meal, create profits for the company and gain experience.

Zhang Yuan knew that with this arrangement, the three of them would definitely be treated like donkeys by Zeng Jia.

But you have to be a "donkey" first and lay a solid foundation.

You can only show it to yourself when you need it again.

Although the conditions were harsh, Zeng Jia still couldn't hide her excitement.

The words "Zhang Yuan's agent" alone exceeded the conditions offered by all the companies she was currently contacting and negotiating with.

The atmosphere of the meal soon became lively.

While Zeng Jia toasted repeatedly, she also kept asking Zhang Yuan about the details.

He looks like he can't wait to start working today.

Among girls, Yang Mi is not actually a greedy person.

Especially when compared with Zhao Liying and Jiang Xin.

But maybe because I was in a good mood, I ate a lot more today.

I was in a good mood, not only because it was a rare opportunity to meet Zhang Yuan.

Also, the agent, who had been persuaded and persuaded by Zhang Yuan in the past but had not been shaken at all, was defeated in the first round by Zhang Yuan's offensive.

Yang Mi had heard Zeng Jia talk about the treatment she received from other companies, and she was either dissatisfied or disdainful.

This was the first time she saw her agent so interested.

"He's so awesome."

"You actually used yourself as a bargaining chip!"

This method just suits her personality.

Be cruel to yourself.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Yuan looked at the price of more than 30,000 yuan on the receipt and felt that he was being taken advantage of.

I may have been a little too hard on myself.

But when I thought about spending 30,000 yuan to set up a bureau to deal with Zeng Jia, it didn't seem like a big deal.

After the meal, I invited them both to have some tea to relieve their greasy feeling.

Zhang Yuan found that Zeng Jia was not as cautious as when she came, fearing that someone would find out about her contact with him.

I guess this is because now that I'm determined to come to his place, I'm too lazy to pretend anymore.

Drink tea and chat.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zeng Jia answered a phone call and left temporarily.

He and Yang Mi were left sitting alone in the private room.

"I did you a big favor by sending my own agent here."

"Aren't you going to thank me?" Yang Mi raised her chin coquettishly.

"I can do without hers."

"The conditions I offer can bring in any agent of the same level as her, or even stronger."

"I use her because she is your agent."

"So, it's not me who should thank you, it's you who should thank me."

"You're full of nonsense." Yang Mi smiled and rolled his eyes at him.

But after hearing what he said, my heart was also beating fast.

I have already placed someone next to him in advance, so it is only natural for us to have a close relationship in the future.

"Can you please not wait an hour or two before replying to my messages next time?" After taking a sip of tea, he spoke again.

"Can you say a few more words when you chat with me?"

"Also, can you take the initiative to ask me out instead of always asking me out."

"Don't always come out for business. Can't you just play with me?"

"You asked me so many questions, can I ask you one too?" Zhang Yuan stood up and sat next to her.

"What color underwear are you wearing today?"

Yang Mi: ...

In fact, Zhang Yuan was too lazy to argue with her and didn't want to answer those questions.

So I deliberately did something vulgar to change the subject.

"Are you sick?" Yang Mi covered her chest and turned around.

"I've had it for many years. Why don't you help me treat it?" Seeing that it was successfully transferred, he continued.

"Do not show you."

"It's not like I've never seen it before."

"You..." Yang Mi felt her body getting hot when she thought of the last time she was hugged, kissed and touched.

"I'm telling you, Sister Jia is here today, don't even think about it... wuwuwu!"

After more than ten minutes, Zeng Jia put down his phone and came back.

I saw Xiao Mi’s face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out.

"Why are you wearing your coat?" Zeng Jia asked.

"I'm... a little cold."

After Yang Mi finished speaking, he mouthed viciously towards Zhang Yuan who was laughing.

Obviously, it wasn't a good thing to say.

Simply put, in order to verify the color, Zhang Yuan stripped her.

Now the lining of her long sleeves was empty.

She has a big body, so her underwear is very obvious, so she has to cover it with a coat.

She was feeling embarrassed and annoyed, but also very excited, so she had no time to think about those annoying problems.

"See you at my place later."

When they had almost finished drinking, Zhang Yuan said goodbye to the two of them.

Zeng Jia shook hands with him repeatedly with great enthusiasm.

And Yang Mi came closer to him.

"Give it back to me!" "I'll keep it." Zhang Yuan patted his backpack.

I used the white girl's style, but the size is very large.

"Give it back to me!" Yang Mi said in shame and anger: "How can I go out on the street or go home like this?"

"Shall I help you put it on myself?"

"Then I don't want it. You will definitely take the opportunity to do more bad things."

Yeah, your mind is still clear.

They left separately, and Zhang Yuan returned home alone.

Put the large white model in your drawer.

The number of strange draw items has increased again.

"You're back so late?"

Cheng Hao happened to walk into the backyard and was startled.

"Well, I'll be back after we finish talking about this." Zhang Yuan clapped his hands and kicked the drawer shut.

"went well?"

"Done." Zhang Yuan confidently pulled her into the courtyard to enjoy the flowers and chat.

"Really?"

"What conditions did you offer?"

When asked by his good sister, Zhang Yuan told her all the details truthfully.

After listening, Cheng Hao was silent for a long time.

"You are really courageous in doing this."

“It was handled well.”

"It didn't hurt Yang Siwei too much, and he successfully found another suitable agent."

"But have you ever thought about what Zeng Jia will do if you stop giving her a share after the three-year contract?"

"If she not only leaves but also takes other artists with her, what will you do?"

"After all, if the salary decreases, it's inevitable to have such thoughts." Cheng Hao was still as worried as ever.

"If the salary doesn't decrease, can you be sure that the other party absolutely has no such intention?" Zhang Yuan asked back.

“People’s desires will grow bigger and bigger.”

"A pool of water can never hold a dragon."

"So, what are your plans?" Cheng Hao heard it.

He should have had a plan.

Zhang Yuan knows that the artist studio model will be the future.

Part of the predecessor of Jiaxing in its previous life was actually Yang Mi Studio.

Big brokerage companies can only suppress newcomers.

Once they become famous, artists will want to become independent.

But this independence is limited.

Because even if you set up your own studio, you can't escape working with big companies.

That's why Zhang Yuan chose Yang Siwei and Zeng Jia because he was attracted by the ambitions of these two women.

The first generation of female agents in the Chinese entertainment industry were Wang Jinhua, Li Xiaowan, and Chang Jihong.

Cai Yinong is more like 1.5 generation.

Among the second generation of female agents, the most famous are Yang Siwei, Zeng Jia and Du Hua.

These three have the strongest abilities, and after becoming strong enough, they all independently run their own brokerage companies.

“Build walls and lock people in.”

"In the end, you will be alone and deserted by your friends."

Zhang Yuan rubbed his fingers and looked up at the silvery full moon.

“Only by branching out can we maximize our influence.”

"So what I have to do is not to try every possible way to restrict them from leaving."

"on the contrary!"

"When the time is right, I will help them leave the company!"

“And we have to give people, money, and resources.”

Cheng Hao was stunned and didn't know how to respond to his remarks.

Not only do they not restrict them, but they also... give them money?
She didn't understand. Wasn't this just helping someone else?

Zhang Yuan stroked her shoulders without saying much, letting her digest it slowly.

"You'll understand later."

"By the way. How are Zhao Liying and Jiang Xin?"

"Xinxin has been in a bad mood recently. She must be hungry." The good sister came to her senses and replied immediately.

"Her temper wasn't much better in the past."

"That's true."

"That student Xiao Zhao has decent talent."

“And he’s quite willing to learn.”

"And maybe because I come from a rural background, I'm pretty strong and can handle a lot of hard work."

Cheng Hao didn't expect that it didn't look too eye-catching, but after really getting in touch with it, he still found many highlights.

In the acting industry, mentality is very important. You have to be stable to do your job well.

This person's temperament is more stable than his appearance.

I think Zhang Yuan has a good vision.

But I just can't figure him out, just like what I said just now.

The next day, Zhang Yuan got up early and practiced in the yard.

"Auntie, are you going out?"

And say hello to auntie.

"Well, let's go out and buy some snacks. We've been running out of food at home lately."

It's being consumed so quickly... Zhang Yuan was just wondering why it was being consumed so quickly when he heard Jiang Xin's angry rebuke from the yard.

"What's wrong?" he asked, leaning over.

"I'm not satisfied with her!" She pointed at Zhao Liying and said angrily.

"Why are you calling Sister Jiang Xin?"

"I didn't do anything." Student Zhao looked confused.

"You haven't done anything yet."

"I'm trying to lose weight, but you keep making small talk beside me."

"The key is to just eat it, why are you smacking your lips?"

"Ah, but it's so delicious that I can't help it." Zhao Liying replied so honestly.

"Dedede..." Zhang Yuan pushed the two of them apart.

Look at them, they haven’t even joined the group yet, but they’re already in the same state as Cuiping and Wanqiu.

"Next time you eat, order behind her back."

"When you finish filming, I'll bring you a cart of cakes and pastries. Eat until you vomit. Okay?"

Zhang Yuan made arrangements for them.

"You are several years older than her. It's just a meal."

"As for the shouting and yelling."

"Besides, look at yourself in the mirror."

"What a success! I feel much more energetic now than I did a few days ago."

"You look so beautiful when you lose weight. I want to pursue you just because of you." Zhang Yuan knew that she was just trying to please him, so he praised her intentionally.

Who knew that this person would raise his neck.

"Okay, Zhang Yuan said he wants to pursue me!"

Zhang Yuan: …

Hey!
If I wasn't waiting for you to make money for me, I would have beaten you up long ago!

He turned around and went to the kitchen, ignoring her.

Not long after, Zhang Yuan's wailing was heard from the kitchen.

"Where's my Wahaha!"

"Where did my big box of Wahaha go?"

Zhao Liying, who was reading a script, raised her sleeve and wiped her mouth after hearing this.

At the same time, he kicked the bottle on the ground behind the flowerpot.

Zhang Yuan rushed out angrily and stood directly in front of Xiao Zhao.

"Did you do it?"
