Chapter 59
Chapter 50 broker
Retired from the system space, Lu Ze reached out and patted the quilt covering his body. It was soft and light, and more comfortable than the old quilt he had covered before. As expected, you get what you pay for.
After getting up to wash, Lu Ze finally experienced the pleasure and sensation of taking a shower in the morning. He was refreshed. He put shaving foam on his chin and shaved it well with a razor. He is a person with strong hair. Not only the hair grows fast, but also the beard.
bought a small electric rice cooker that can hold two small bowls of rice. I only ate one bowl yesterday. I re-cooked it with heated water this morning, served with fried eggs and pickles, and the breakfast was done.
Lock the door and get on the elevator. Now it’s time to go to work. The basic elevator stops on the first floor.
“Good morning, Brother Lu.”
Lu Ze was standing at the innermost side, leaning on the side of the elevator, playing with his cell phone. He heard someone say hello, but he didn’t think he was calling himself. After all, people who are not familiar with life here can never meet acquaintances, right?
After a while, I found that there was no voice other than this greeting. Then I looked up strangely and found that the two little girls were looking at them alone.
“Oh, good morning, I’m sorry, I thought it was not calling me, you two are also members of the company?”
Lu Ze can’t understand this. Although he has not seen the company’s trainees, he also knows that they are two men, two women and four people. The two girls in front of him are beautiful, and they are not more than twenty years old, and they say hello to himself. It is estimated that the two female trainees did not run away.
“Yes, Brother Lu, my name is Ye Meiqi, and her name is Xue Xue. Both of them are trainees of Qian Shijia. I will ask Brother Lu to take care of them.”
The two girls are very cheerful and generous, otherwise an introvert will not enter this circle, and it is estimated that they know what contract Lu Ze signed, so they are very polite to Lu Ze.
“You have to take care of me. I am a newcomer. You are the company’s elders. Remember to take me with you in the future.”
When they arrived on the first floor, the three of them walked towards the company talking and laughing. Lu Ze asked a little curiously: “Right, I only saw you two, how about the two boys?”
“They, check in before nine o’clock in the morning. They will arrive at 8:59. They are very lazy. You are diligent without Brother Lu. By the way, Brother Lu, have you eaten in the morning? I ask you to have breakfast. .”
Xue Xue was very enthusiastic. To go to the bun shop, he needed eight buns, four vegetarian and four meat. Lu Ze quickly refused, saying that he had finished breakfast.
Lu Ze was curiously observing the two girls along the way. After all, it was the first time he had contact with the singing and jumping entertainer trainees, and he was still two girls, and then found that these two girls were really suffering.
The buns in this family are not big, let alone men, normal women can eat three or four without any problems, but these two girls eat two, not even daring to drink soy milk, so they drink it in the morning and go to the company with them. Lemon tea to drink.
And I still eat while walking on the street. Looking at the natural appearance of the two girls, it is estimated that they are used to eating like this every morning, and it is harder than the average office girl.
He didn’t ask how old the two girls were, why they didn’t go to school but were trainees in the company. They weren’t that familiar yet, and it was the two girls’ private affair, which had nothing to do with Lu Ze.
When I arrive at the company, the trainees have two weekends a week, and the rest of the time is at the company, just like work. From 9 to 5, they have to clock in and out.
And Lu Ze doesn’t have that many restrictions. It’s nothing to do with the company at all. As long as you don’t get into trouble, no one will care about you. After all, Lu Ze does not receive company subsidies every month like a trainee.
Lu Ze said goodbye to them and walked to the artist management department.
Gao Wanzhi hasn’t arrived yet. The assistant poured a cup of coffee for Lu Ze. After waiting for ten minutes, Gao Wanzhi came to work.
“Sister Gao.”
“Well, come so early? How long have you waited?”
“Not long, just a few minutes, you will be there when you play with your phone.”
“Okay, your agent said that she will be there in twenty minutes. She is also a veteran in this industry. She also has resources and is very professional. You can rest assured of this.”
The income of the agent depends on the contract between the company and the artist, which usually accounts for 10% to 30% of the total income of the artist. If the company takes the bulk, then the money is paid by the company. On the contrary, if the artist takes Big head, then the money is paid by the artist to the broker.
Take Lu Ze’s contract as an example. He only earns 30%, so the agent’s income is paid by Gan Shijia. So now Gao Wanzhi doesn’t need to tell Lu Ze what percentage his agent earns. After all, he has nothing to do with Lu Ze. Direct relationship.
“I have no problem. I just want to have some basic rights. The agent must discuss and communicate with me for the scenes I want to shoot. If I don’t want to shoot, I hope the agent can’t force my will.”
This is very important. Lu Ze has heard some behind-the-scenes news. Many agents are very tough. It is good for big names. For newcomers, they sometimes force newcomers to film for their personal connections. If this happens to Lu Ze, Lu Ze would definitely not agree, so he needs to ventilate Gao Wanzhi to let her know his bottom line.
“Don’t worry, this is definitely not true. You will still need to sign a contract with your agent in a while, and the terms will be clear and clear.”
In this case, Lu Ze has no objections. Gao Wanzhi also took advantage of this time to first show the contract to Lu Ze, let Lu Ze read it first, and then find an employee from the Legal Department for counselling, just like an hired lawyer. The vernacular translates terms like tongue twisters.
After a while, a woman pushed open the glass door, and Lu Ze glanced at it. According to his vision, she was about the same age as Gao Wanzhi. Should she be thirty-five or sixteen? But he is much more beautiful than Gao Wanzhi, and he has a good figure. She wears sunglasses and is not plainly dressed, but she is not exaggerated. His temperament is also very good and he has an intellectual feeling.
“Sorry Wanzhi, there is a traffic jam, I am late.”
Artists often take the relationship of brokers. Sometimes the company wants to promote newcomers and needs the help of brokers. Therefore, every senior broker is a treasure of the company and has to be offered like a big Buddha.
In other words, although Gao Wanzhi is the director of the artist agency department, her role is equivalent to a bridge between the artist and the agent, not the manager of the agent. Therefore, the big Buddha is higher than Gao Wanzhi’s rank, and she speaks naturally. No honorifics.
“Sister Shen is polite, it’s okay, sit down, and by the way, let me introduce you. This is your partner in the future, Lu Ze, say hello to Sister Shen.”
Lu Ze has read the information and already knows her name. Shen Jinghan reached out and shook her hand, and said hello: “Hello, Sister Shen, this is Lu Ze.”
“You are polite, the long one is quite tall.”
Shen Jinghan put down her bag and took off her glasses. Lu Ze discovered that she was definitely older than Gao Wanzhi. It is difficult for a woman to completely conceal her crow’s feet, no matter how well maintained it is. Once her glasses are taken off, her age will be exposed. I am almost forty years old.
After drinking a sip of tea, Shen Jinghan sighed and saw that Lu Ze’s eyes were very kind: “Oh…I haven’t taken a new person for a long time, suddenly I feel like I’m old. By the way, how old is your mother? ?”
Lu Ze didn’t quite understand why the topic was about his own mother, but he still replied: “Forty-six Well, the marriage is early.”
“Yes, in rural areas, I was married early at that time, my mother was married at 19, and I was there in the next year.”
Shen Jinghan smiled a little helplessly, and shrugged his shoulders at Gao Wanzhi: “Look, his mother is not older than me, really…”
Turning his head to Lu Ze again, he sighed as if he was old, “Don’t call me sister, I’m ashamed to admit it, you have to be called auntie, my daughter is five years younger than you. Okay, let’s see the contract. .”
Shen Jinghan didn’t bring a lawyer, but he turned over the contract by himself, but it was much faster than Lu Ze brought a lawyer. After reading it in about half an hour, he sat and chatted with Gao Wanzhi and waited for Lu Ze.
The contract is very reasonable. Lu Ze has nothing to change. Both of them nodded their heads and signed the contract directly, and then handed it to Gao Wanzhi for the official seal. The contract was considered effective.
“Okay, nothing is going to happen, Lu Ze, please go back and rest. If there is a show, I will help you pay attention. Let’s change the number and wait for my news.”
Shen Jinghan directly became the master and asked Lu Ze to go back to rest. Gao Wanzhi was not dissatisfied, but still stopped the two of them.
“Sister Shen, wait a minute with Lu Ze. I have an audition here. It is a new play directed by Cheng Yuan. We have a quota and decided to let Lu Ze try it.”
“Oh, you are looking for work for me when I first came here, okay, let me see the script, Cheng Yuan, old friend.”
“Isn’t it a coincidence, there was news last week, but there were no actors in the company at that time, this time there is Lu Ze, so I need a quota.”
Shen Jinghan and Gao Wanzhi sat back on the sofa again, Lu Ze looked a little strange.
“I came to work the next day after I came to the company to report?”
“…”
