"You mean to agree?" Ding Hui heard the implication.
"I can only say that if you want to sign with a brokerage company, Zhongtian is a good choice!" Zhang Xiaoyan said seriously: "Compared to other messy ones, at least the reputation is good."
"Of course, don't be too anxious. I'll ask someone to help find out the specific situation. You can also refer to it."
"By the way, the key is the length of the contract. It should not exceed six years at most!"
"Don't be fooled by them, what about the sixty-fourth division, what about resource allocation, what about vigorous cultivation..."
"It's all bullshit!"
After chatting for more than 20 minutes, Ding Hui hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. The hero saw the same thing, and Zhang Xiaoyan and he thought about it together.
That’s right, it’s the age limit!
Six years is too much for Ding Hui, and three years or even less would be best. But God is not stupid, so six years is probably not going to be easy to talk about.
According to Zhang Xiaoyan's estimation, the contract will be at least eight or ten years, and the rest will be negotiations between the two parties. Six years is already the best result.
If Zhongtian is stronger, it will be eight years, whether you want to sign or not!
There is no way, people have this confidence!
Anyway, Ding Hui has thought about it, and the maximum contract is six years, not just for Zhongtian, but for everyone.
No matter how much we talk about it, no matter how good the conditions are, they are just like the mirror. The entertainment industry is changing rapidly. Who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
In recent years, how many top celebrities have been ruined?
I will be twenty-four next year, and I will only be thirty in six years. Even if I am unlucky and fall into a pit of fire, I can survive it. The worst is to start all over again.
Thinking of this, I made up my mind to wait for Zhang Xiaoyan to get some more information. If Taidian is not a big bully, then meet and talk to Zhongtian.
If you get along, you sign, if you don't get along, you get kicked out. We are all here, so we should be polite so we can get together and part ways.
In the afternoon of the next day, I got more information from Zhang Xiaoyan. It was all kinds of information, but it can be summed up in one sentence:
Zhongtian is just okay.
Both the treatment and resources are good, and they take great care of their artists, especially the actors, and at least there are no famous scenes where they get angry.
Ding Hui is quite satisfied. In fact, the reason why he signed with the so-called agency is not to grab resources. Really good works rely on acting skills. Which top director has no background and connections?
After all, it will be inconvenient to work alone in the future. It will be more worry-free to have someone help with chores. Ding Hui's request is very simple. We should not bully others, but we should not let others bully us.
The audition is fair and impartial, whether it's a mule or a horse, they can all be pulled out and run around.
I made up my mind and called Ding Yu's mobile phone to arrange an interview in Beijing the day after tomorrow, which coincided with a visit to the Zhongtian headquarters.
Hanging up the phone, Ding Hui made a reservation for the high-speed train tomorrow. He went to the capital a few years ago to work, but the prices were too high and he couldn't afford it, so he left. He should have a different feeling when he returns to his old place this time.
Two days later, in Beijing's CBD, Ding Hui nodded secretly as he looked at the magnificent skyscrapers. They were worthy of being ranked among the top six.
"Brother Hui, here." As soon as Ding Hui arrived at the elevator, he happened to meet Ding Yu who came downstairs to greet him. He hadn't seen him for three or four months and was still in a hurry.
"Sorry to trouble you." Ding Hui said politely.
"This is obvious." Ding Yu smiled like a flower and carefully looked at Ding Hui, who had changed a lot. He was more confident and calm than Long Yunzhen.
"We will be brothers and sisters from the same school from now on." The two entered the special elevator, Ding Yu pressed the button on the ninth floor and joked.
"Then I will call you senior sister from now on?"
"Be good, little junior brother!" Ding Yu pretended to be serious and then burst into laughter.
Ding Hui also smiled. This girl has a very lovable personality, cheerful and lively, and is not bad to get along with.
"Brother Zhao will discuss the contract with you later. Zhao Hong is also my agent." Ding Yu stopped joking and said seriously: "Our Zhongtian strength is obvious to all, and you should have understood it."
Seeing Ding Hui nodding, he continued: "The company has a lot of business. Others don't care about us. The main thing is the performing arts department, which is responsible for all the actors."
"There are four agents now. Brother Zhao is the most senior veteran, the founding hero who followed the boss to conquer the world."
"He has a strong voice and has led many powerful people. Of course, many have established their own businesses, but the relationship has been maintained well."
"The only new actor I have now is me." Ding Yu looked at Ding Hui and said seriously: "Brother Hui, I hope to fight alongside you!"
Ding Hui nodded. It seemed like a few words, but it contained a lot of information.
Wherever there are people, there are always gangs. A company as big as Zhongtian must have all kinds of intrigues, and this is what worries me the most.
Don't jump into the fire pit as soon as you join the company and become a so-called chess piece or a victim of factional struggles. I'm here to make money from filming, and I don't have time to waste.
At least the current situation is optimistic. Zhao Hong is not a newcomer. It doesn't matter if he is a veteran or not, as long as he can ensure that he will not be bullied.
When the elevator stops and the door opens, you will see the company's golden signboard. The entire three floors are Zhongtian office area, which is full of luxury and grandeur.
Ding Yu followed Ding Yu to an office, knocked on the door and went in. After walking a hundred square feet, he was met by an elegant middle-aged man in his early forties walking over.
"Ding Hui, we finally meet." Zhao Hong smiled broadly and reached out his hand: "I am Zhao Hong, and I am also Ding Yu's manager."
"Hello, Brother Zhao." Ding Hui said politely: "I am Ding Hui."
"Sit down, you're welcome." Zhao Hong shook Ding Hui's hand vigorously and motioned to sit down and chat. Soon the secretary brought tea and Ding Yu also sat next to him.
"Without further ado, let's get straight to the point, shall we?" Zhao Hong said straight to the point: "I am very optimistic about your acting skills and talent, and I have learned about you through Xiaoyu. We at Zhongtian are very sincere in cooperating with you."
"Here is the contract. Take a look at it."
Ding Hui was stunned. Are you so happy?
He took the contract with both hands and looked at it carefully until he reached the end of the contract period. He couldn't help but frown and raised his head and asked, "Isn't eight years a bit long?"
"This is the basic operation of the industry, not just for us at Zhongtian." Zhao Hong calmly said: "The contracts of actors are the same. If you switch to a fresh meat with a small traffic, it will start at least ten years."
Ding Hui remained silent for the time being and continued to read. Other benefits were pretty good. The salary and endorsements were divided into 28%, and the company took a small share.
As long as you sign the contract, you will be equipped with a full-time commercial vehicle and driver, as well as an assistant, who is usually responsible for external relations and taking care of chores.
As for the so-called resource support, it is all fictitious. It all depends on whether you can make money for the company. To make iron, you still need to be strong. This is a matter for later.
After reading it all, everything else was fine. Ding Hui put down the contract and said seriously: "Everything else is fine, the main thing is the number of years. My bottom line is six years!"
"Six years?" Zhao Hong did not refute immediately. He pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me your reasons."
"It's very simple. No one knows the future." Ding Hui said truthfully: "You should know about my situation. I have been wandering around for so many years and suffered a lot. I have reached this point all by myself."
"I'm very grateful that Zhongtian and Brother Zhao think highly of me, Ding Hui, and are willing to give me the opportunity to cooperate, but my personality is a bit reserved, or..."
