Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 36 Broker

After Zheng Jing stepped up his game and drove a racing car, he became even more popular with the actresses in the crew.

Lizi's roar was heard by many people.

There are many beauties in the crew of A Step into the Past, in addition to Li Zi and Wen Bixia, there are also Sonija Kwok, Jessica Hsuan and others.

These beauties all stared at Zheng Jing.

Some of them thought Zheng Jing was handsome, talented, and could drive a racing car, and they wanted to have a chance with him. Some of them wanted to catch a rich man because of the name "Master Jing".

However, Zheng Jing temporarily drove Li Zi's car and did not drive a new car.

Because he will be shooting martial arts and horse riding scenes next, he needs to practice fighting moves and horse riding well.

In the crew, filming is still the first priority.

Fortunately, Zheng Jing has very good physical fitness and muscle memory from the script world. Not only does he learn quickly, but his fighting moves are also very graceful and cool, which is very entertaining to watch.

On May 5, Zheng Jing started filming his first martial arts scene with the cast of A Step into the Past.

This scene is Lian Jin's debut.

Xiang Shaolong accidentally helped the Gray Beard bandits and captured Wu Tingfang and Tao Fang. Just as he realized that he had accidentally done something bad and wanted to rescue Wu Tingfang, he saw a handsome swordsman riding a horse towards him.

He single-handedly killed Huihu and rescued Wu Tingfang.

Lian Jin’s first role is the highlight, and his character as an infatuated and invincible swordsman is immediately established.

Zheng Jing's performance was very good.

Whether he was galloping on horseback, flying in the air while hanging on wires, or flying with a sword while dismounting to kill enemies, he showed his ultimate grace.

At this moment at the shooting site, a short, fat woman with short hair was staring at Zheng Jing.

She was about forty years old, wearing thick black-framed glasses. She looked stern and serious.

Next to her stood a middle-aged man in his forties, who was Wu Xiaogeng from Jinhua Film and Television.

Seeing Zheng Jing's wonderful performance, Wu Xiaogeng said with a little pride: "So, is Mr. Jing a natural-born superstar?"

Chang Jihong was very optimistic about Zheng Jing and rushed to the crew to communicate with Zheng Jing.

She nodded and said, "With outstanding image, superb acting skills, love for acting, and a strong background, it would be unjust if Jing Shao was not popular.

It’s just a little trouble.”

Wu Xiaogeng asked, "What's the trouble?"

Chang Jihong pointed at a few beauties who were watching Zheng Jing filming and said, "He is too popular with women. If he doesn't control and manage himself, he will easily fall into the hands of women."

Wu Xiaogeng shook his head and retorted, "You don't have to worry about this. Young Master Jing is very mature, not just an ordinary young man. He knows his limits."

"I hope so." Chang Jihong looked at Zheng Jing and liked him more and more. She said, "It's better to manage it, otherwise it will be easy to cause problems."

During lunch, Zheng Jing met Chang Jihong.

This future famous agent in the entertainment industry is not very famous now.

Among the artists she has signed now, only Jiang Wenli is relatively famous, while the others, such as Guo Xiaodong and Li Xiaoran, are still in the new stage.

She has not signed future artists such as Liu Ye, Sun Li, and Yu Na.

"Master Jing, Sister Hong has worked in the entertainment industry for 20 years. She has held various positions and has been a broker for seven or eight years. In terms of qualifications and abilities, she is one of the best brokers in the mainland."

Some time ago, several advertising companies contacted Zheng Jing, wanting to have him shoot commercials.

At the beginning, these businesses were attracted by Zheng Jing’s nickname “Mr. Jing” and wanted to promote the high-end nature of their own brands.

Their logic is that products used by wealthy young men must be high-end.

After the filming of Lüshi Chunqiu was completed, the crew released a press release showing Zheng Jing performing the wheel-turning performance on the set.

There are several more men's underwear brands that want to find Zheng Jing to be their spokesperson. Zheng Jing certainly does not reject endorsements and advertisements, as he also needs money to spend.

But it's too tiring for him to talk to each one one by one. It's best to find an agent.

Chang Jihong was recommended by Jing Yuxiu, Wu Xiaogeng and others.

This is actually what is called a circle.

Zheng Jing was reborn in the Northwest, and his first play, Lüshi Chunqiu, was also a work from the Northwest circle. He is in the entertainment industry, so naturally he has the label of the Northwest circle.

The first artist brought by Chang Jihong was Jiang Wenli, who is also a representative agent in the Northwest circle.

Zheng Jing is certainly not opposed to this kind of circle.

When you're out there in the world, power is everything, and you have to stick together when you can.

What's more, Chang Jihong is indeed very capable.

She has two characteristics in managing artists. The first is that she reads scripts and helps artists choose suitable scripts. The second is that she does not hype up scandals, and her artists win more with their works.

Zheng Jing needs a capable agent to help him share various tasks.

He was very satisfied with Chang Jihong, and after chatting for a while, he made a request.

"If you sign a contract with a film and television company in the future, I will not sign with you. I will set up my own film and television company in the future."

The year 2000 was considered the first year of transformation in China’s entertainment brokerage business.

Starting from this year, major film and television companies began to focus on artist brokerage business.

In the second half of this year, Chang Jihong signed a cooperation agreement with Hairun Film and Television to help Hairun manage and expand its artist management business;
By the end of the year, Wang Jinhua joined Huayi Brothers and brought a group of star actors to Huayi.

Zheng Jing is planning to open his own film and television company, so that he can tailor TV series for his character cards, which will make the development of character cards more convenient.

After hearing Zheng Jing's words, Chang Jihong's heart moved and she became interested.

She said, "Since you are going to start a film and television company, why should I join other companies? It is better to develop directly in your company.

I am very familiar with the entire process of film and television production, and I also know many directors and producers. "

Zheng Jing smiled and said, "I'm just worried that my company is too small and you won't be interested in it."

"Master Jing, you are treating me like a blind person. I am not such a short-sighted person."

Zheng Jing didn't talk much about starting a company. Today's topic was still about the agent contract.

Both parties were interested, and since they were both from the Northwest circle, the talks went smoothly.

Chang Jihong thus became Zheng Jing's agent.

After she took office, she immediately processed Zheng Jing's advertising list.

After some negotiations, Chang Jihong helped Zheng Jing take over the advertisement for Cardelot underwear for 150 million yuan a year.

The endorsement was negotiated very successfully. On the one hand, the unit price was very high, which raised Zheng Jing's endorsement price. On the other hand, the contract was only for one year. As Zheng Jing's popularity rises in the future, the endorsement will definitely be more expensive.

Cardinal is also very satisfied. This Singaporean brand is famous for its crocodile products. It entered China in 1993. This year's focus is on men's underwear, and the brand's tone is high-end.

After investigation, they thought Zheng Jing was a very suitable spokesperson.

He played Lao Ai in two film and television works, which can increase the popularity of Cartier underwear.

Cardele doesn't know the specific effect of Zheng Jing's endorsement, so naturally it doesn't want to sign a long-term contract. It would be better to try a short-term contract.

Because it is a short-term contract, the endorsement price will naturally go up.

Moreover, Chang Jihong was unwilling to lower the price, and used the fact that Zheng Jing was not short of money as an excuse to actually scare Cardinal.

That’s why the price is 150 million.
