Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 27 Resources
Still a little lost...

After all, I stayed in the same house for two months!

We are brothers in the same trench.

Even if he went to Hengdian, it would probably be difficult for us to meet again in the future.

However, Zhang Wuchou can speak Japanese, so he should have no shortage of roles...

Yang Qingwen relied on his Japanese to act in dozens of anti-Japanese dramas. Although they were all Japanese devils, he made money anyway...

Zhang Wuchou shouldn’t be any worse than him!

After all, anti-Japanese dramas are still a relatively active genre until 2025...

Oh, Cui Weidong accepted two packs of cigarettes, encouraged Shen Yan a few words, and Shen Yan said goodbye and left...

As for Director Gong Ruofei...

Shen Yan…can’t reach it!

……

After leaving Huairou Film and Television City, Shen Yan returned to Beijing.

I gritted my teeth and booked a room for 300 yuan a night. Just as I was about to contact Wang Jinghua, she had already called...

"I'm at the XX Hotel...I don't know if there are any restaurants nearby. I'm not from Beijing!"

“…Just tell me the address and I’ll be there right away!”

After remembering the address Wang Jinghua had given him, Shen Yan changed his shoes, straightened himself up in front of the mirror, and then took a taxi directly there...

Fortunately, it’s not very far and it takes about 40 minutes to get there.

It is a private restaurant called Xiaoshitanji.

The decoration is quite classical, with an antique atmosphere. The original wood tables and chairs, green decorations, Chinese paintings on the walls, and lanterns on the ceiling add to the beauty.

But... Shen Yan could tell at a glance that these decorations were basically machine-made and had no soul!
However, the wood-carved landscape painting hanging on the main wall must be the work of a famous artist...

Shen Yan took a quick look and guessed correctly that it was a Dongyang wood carving.

When we got to the box, Wang Jinghua was already there, and there was a man in his thirties sitting next to her...

"Sister Hua...who is this?"

"Ji Xiang...your agent!"

Shen Yan immediately extended his hand: "...Hello, I'm Shen Yan."

Ji Xiang also shook hands: "...Hello...I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. Sister Hua said she would wait until you finish filming the scene you are currently on."

“…I signed an actor’s contract before…”

Shen Yan sat down, the waiter poured him a cup of tea, and then left...

Wang Jinghua said, "Tell me about your situation...in detail!"

"Ah?" Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then took out a resume from his bag: "Brother Ji Xiang, take a look at it yourself."

Ji Xiang was speechless... It was the first time he had received a resume...

But he still took a closer look and noticed that Shen Yan only had a high school diploma. He frowned and asked, "You didn't go to college?"

"No... I only scored over 400 on the college entrance exam, which is barely enough to get into a third-tier university, but I don't want to spend that money..."

“…You also worked as a lighting engineer?”

"I only worked there for half a year, and my uncle wanted me to learn lighting. After all, it's a skill, and I can make a living from it..."

"Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

"...I've dated two people...but we both broke up!"

"What are your hobbies?"

“… calligraphy, painting, and even music… I really like them all.”

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? You're my agent, what good would it do me if I kept it a secret from you?"

Shen Yan answers every question...

The last question is his goal or ideal...

Shen Yan scratched his head: "For now, I just want to act... If you want to talk about my goal... I guess it's to become a people's artist!"

“…People’s Artist?”

This word shocked Wang Jinghua!

"you sure?"

"...That's what I think for now!" "Do you have any favorite actors?"

Shen Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "...I quite like Teacher Li Xuejian."

“…Where’s the actress?”

“I don’t have a particular favorite, anything is fine…”

Ji Xiang nodded: "Okay, I almost know it!"

“…When do I sign the contract?”

"You can sign it now, the contract is here!"

Shen Yan took the contract and looked through it...

Generally speaking, the artist management contract depends on whether it is a full contract.

The scope of brokerage is generally divided into full contracts and partial contracts.

As the name suggests, a full contract means the agency covers all platforms and all fields, which is equivalent to entrusting your entire acting career to this agency.

A separate contract refers to an agency contract for a specific field, specific platform or specific business. The industry often refers to it as a "record contract", "advertising contract" or "film and television contract". In fact, it means that the artist signs contracts for separate performing arts fields such as releasing records, shooting commercials, and filming film and television works. Each part can be signed with different companies.

So sometimes when you read entertainment news, you can see some stars saying that they only signed a record contract with Company A, and later switched from being a singer to an actor, and then signed a film contract with Company B.

Wang Jinghua signed a full contract with BJ18 Agency...

It doesn’t matter, Shen Yan is a complete newcomer!
Definitely sign the full contract...

Then there are the contract terms, rights and obligations, and profit distribution...

I checked and the revenue split is 40%, 30%, 30% - the artist's income and the company and agent's share...

Of course, this thing is not static...

The higher Shen Yan's status, the higher his income and the higher his share!
After all, the breach of contract is only 500 million...

Shen Yan glanced through it briefly, signed his name, and stamped it with ink...

“…Can you read the contract?”

"I don't quite understand," Shen Yan said casually, "But I do know a little about Sister Hua's reputation... Anyway, you won't cheat me!"

……

This is true, and I hardly see anyone terminating their contract with Hua Jie...

Generally, there are two reasons for terminating a contract with an agency: one is that the salary is too low, and the other is that the company does not provide resources.

Wang Jinghua is impeccable in this regard!

“These are four projects…”

Shen Yan took the stack of documents with a bit of surprise: "Four?"

Wang Jinghua’s network of contacts is indeed not to be underestimated.

In just half a month, we contacted four film crews.

"Under the Pleiades," "New Meteor Butterfly Sword," "Strange Hero Yizhimei"... and "Peacock Feathers"...

I took a quick look... well, it was basically just script outlines, audition invitations, and role suggestions...

"...I don't really want to act in a Qing Dynasty drama...Forget about 'Under the Power of the Azure Sky', okay?"

"What's wrong? You don't like the braid scene?"

Shen Yan nodded: "I feel awkward... Anyway, when I was a kid, I felt a physical discomfort when I first saw a pigtail play. I had a strong feeling of nausea that seemed to come from my genetic instinct... If you ask me to act it out, I definitely can't do it!"

"Forget about 'Subaru of the Azure Sky'... What about 'New Meteor Butterfly Sword'? Should we try to get Meng Xinghun?"

“…Hasn’t this been decided yet?”

Ji Xiang looked at Wang Jinghua, who said, "No... Even if there is, let's compete fairly!"

"...'Strange Hero Yizhimei'... a Tang Dynasty martial arts drama?"

Ji Xiang: "Well, I suggest you audition for the villain role!"

“But am I not too young?”

"It's okay...you can put on makeup!"

"Is 'Peacock Feathers' the 'Seven Weapons Peacock Feathers'?"

"Have you read this novel?"

"Of course, I have read most of Gu Long's novels..."

After closing the file, Shen Yan asked Ji Xiang: "Brother, which drama do you think I should focus on?"
