Chapter 215 Meeting Joey

Joey is a man in his forties.

His appearance was full of affinity. He had just finished the meeting, and a look of exhaustion appeared on his face. But when he saw them, the look of fatigue immediately disappeared and he greeted them warmly.

"Hey, Zuo, didn't you sleep well last night? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so serious?"

Without waiting for Zuomeng's answer, Joey's eyes immediately moved to Liu Jianglin.

The moment his gaze fell on Liu Jianglin's face, his eyes lit up.

"Wow, you must be Miss Liu." Joey praised, "You are more beautiful than I saw in the video."

Liu Jianglin smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

Joey patted Zuomeng on the shoulder and said, "Come to my office."

Liu Jianglin followed them and entered Joey's office.

Joey's office is about thirty square meters in size, with a desk inside.

The table is not tidy, there are a lot of materials piled high on it.

Under the window is a couch that can seat about three people at the same time.

The sofa looked to be quite old. It was a leather sofa with obvious signs of wear and tear.

Joey took out a wine bottle and three wine glasses from the cabinet - when Liu Jianglin saw this scene, he actually wanted to ask a question in his heart.

Why do these Americans subconsciously bring out drinks when entertaining people who enter their offices?

Liu Jianglin has encountered this situation several times in the past few days.

What a group of people suffering from alcoholism.

Liu Jianglin complained in his heart.

However, she did not refuse.

The main thing is that she can drink. Drinking this much is nothing to her. It won't get her head drunk, and it won't make her feel dizzy and say something she shouldn't say.

She took the wine glass handed over by Joey with a "do as the Romans do" mentality.

Zuo Meng turned around and asked her softly: "Can you drink? Don't force it."

Zuomeng's inquiry revealed some thoughtfulness and concern.

Liu Jianglin smiled at him and signaled that he was OK.

Joey took the initiative to mention the series he is currently working on, which will be launched next month.

"This drama has been signed with BLD TV station and will be broadcast in December this year." Joey said, "This drama will be filmed for almost a month. Zuomeng recommended you to me because there is a character in this drama.

The Chinese character, she is the best friend of the heroine Jenny, is an important role, and because of this, if we finally sign the contract, you need to sign the show with us for three seasons."

"Three seasons?" Liu Jianglin was surprised, "Will this show be filmed for three seasons?"

"It depends on how the first season plays out."

Zuo Meng explained to Liu Jianglin, "Unless the show is a limited series from the beginning, it will only be for one season. But if not, the producer will usually sign a performance agreement with the actors for several consecutive seasons.

This is to ensure that if a sequel is to be developed, the original crew will be retained as much as possible."

Liu Jianglin said: "I know that American TV series often shoot many seasons at once. This is very different from China, and I am not used to it."

"Don't worry, even if you really have to play three seasons in one go, it won't take you a long time. This is a short series. As you heard, this drama only takes about a month to film." Zuo Meng said, "It's

The number of episodes should be about ten, which is very short.”

Liu Jianglin was surprised.

"Wow."

Joey listened to the two of them chattering in Chinese that he didn't understand for a long time, and asked: "What are you two talking about? I can't understand a word."

Zuo Meng said: "Joy, I was explaining to her just now why she had to sign a three-season show agreement in one go."

"OK, Miss Liu, I heard that you are a very popular star in China. I wonder if your agent is here? Who should I talk to about your salary?" Joey asked directly.

Liu Jianglin said: "I came to the United States alone. I have not signed a brokerage agreement with other companies. You can just talk to me directly."

When Joey heard this, he asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to find an agent here? You can't do it alone."

Liu Jianglin was about to explain when Zuo Meng motioned for him to speak.

Liu Jianglin shut his mouth.

Zuo Meng said to Joey: "As for her agent, I will contact her in the next few days. We will discuss the remuneration in two days. But, do you mean that you are ready to use her?"

Joey nodded in agreement very readily and said, "Why not? Miss Liu has rich acting experience, is very beautiful, and her English is so fluent. I can't find any reason not to use her."

Zuo Meng laughed.

Liu Jianglin was pleasantly surprised when he heard that he had been hired.

Got a good result so quickly?

It seems that Zuomeng's recommendation is still very useful.

Joey said: "You give me a contact number, and I will get someone to contact you and send you the script."

"Okay." Liu Jianglin nodded happily, "Thank you, Joey, I will cherish this opportunity and work hard to play this role well."

Joey laughed.

…

After leaving Joey's office, Liu Jianglin immediately screamed in a low voice.

"This is so smooth!" Liu Jianglin said in surprise.

Zuo Meng nodded and said: "You have obvious advantages. As long as you find the right direction, it is not difficult for you to win a character."

Liu Jianglin said: "I have been meeting with different producers and directors these days, but few people will directly offer me roles."

Zuo Meng: "Because the project they are preparing may not have a character suitable for you. I happen to know that the project Joey is working on has a Chinese character."

Liu Jianglin: "Yeah."

"You are not well-known in the United States now, and you don't have a professional agent to help you handle these tasks. Therefore, if everyone has a suitable role, they will not think of you or know that you exist. You are the most needed right now.

The first thing you do is register with the Screen Actors Guild. The second thing is to find an experienced and well-connected agent to help you send your information to various casting companies. Generally, everyone who wants to find actors will

Go to the casting agency and ask for information."

Liu Jianglin nodded.

"As for agents, I will recommend a few people to you, and you can talk to them yourself." Zuomeng said, "The compatibility between artists and agents will determine your future career. You need to find someone who truly appreciates you.

This is very important for an agent. The agent thinks you are good and believes you can become popular, so he will really do your best. Otherwise, to him, you are just a job. This requires you to communicate and chat with them face to face.

.”

Liu Jianglin nodded again.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zuo."

"Let's stop being so polite to each other. If you hadn't encountered that kind of thing, with your current reputation in China, there would be no need to go to Hollywood to develop." Zuomeng said, "But now that we are here, we are all Chinese.

We should help each other."
