Abstract Art Award Winner

Chapter 36: The man is one-third drunk, he will act until you cry, let the show begin!
"How much did they tell you to share?"

"Three-seven."

"37% is actually quite a bit, because the commission can be increased. It all depends on your commercial value." Yang Mi said from the other end. "Also, another benefit of joining us is that we can provide you with a lot of resources. So many, so many that you won't be able to perform all of them."

Zhou Le thought for a moment and asked, "Is that a movie or a TV series?"

"We have more TV series here. After all, you should be familiar with our company. Both Reba and I rose to fame through TV series. We are acquaintances, so I will tell you the truth. And because I have a gambling agreement, my goal is to make money. You want to be famous. We each get what we want."

Zhou Le felt that at first glance, it seemed really good.

But Jiaxing is a partnership between Yang Mi and others, but the shares she holds are not that large.

If he really went, wouldn't he be exploited to death? Even Zhou Le felt that Yang Mi was working so hard because of the bet. If he really didn't get much money by then, Boss Yang would probably run away.

"Sister, let me think about it again. After all, this is a major event in life."

After hearing this, Yang Mi knew that she couldn't force it, so she planned to arrange for someone to meet with Zhou Le if turning back didn't work.

"That's fine, but don't worry, we can definitely give you more than others."

"Okay, thank you sister."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Le began to think about it.

Although Jiaxing seems to offer the best conditions now, after these two phone calls, Zhou Le feels that this is not the most suitable place for him.

They are all ten-year contracts. Instead of going for this kind of contract, you might as well find the best one.

He also remembered that Nazha seemed to have said before that Jiaxing’s fashion resources were poor. Zhou Le didn’t care at the time, but now think about it, fashion resources also represent an actor’s status.

Think about it again, Yang Mi herself made both good and bad films, so there is no need to say more about the people below her.

At least compared to suffocation
That's it for the next day.

Zhou Le received another call from Noon Sunshine.

The other party's tone this time was much better than before, and the first thing he said when he got through the phone was to ask for dinner.

Zhou Le agreed immediately.

That night, in a hotel box.

Zhou Le was facing two Noon Sunshine staff members.

"Mr. Zhou, have many companies contacted you recently?" the other party asked straight to the point.

Zhou Le nodded: "Yes, we have contacted everyone, big and small."

"Then I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any agency he's interested in? Of course, we're just chatting privately now, after all, we're also working for the boss."

But Zhou Le didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

After all, don’t you still want to make your own PPT?

It's just that everyone has their own ulterior motives, and Zhou Le pretended not to notice and said, "Alas, nothing is easy right now. I'm still considering between Noon Sunshine, Huanrui, and Jiaxing. After all, I met Boss Yang once before. She wanted to recruit me to Jiaxing at that time, and the conditions she offered were also the best. I also asked my friends, and Huanrui is indeed good at promoting people, but Noon Sunshine is the strongest."

The other party smiled after hearing this, but did not immediately offer a new price.

Instead, the topic was diverted to other aspects.

Soon after the food came, we started eating, drinking and chatting.

Zhou Le could tell that the director this time was the one in charge of the negotiations. He came up and said that he had a bad cold recently and didn't drink much, while the other one came here just to drink.

One cup and three sips, absolutely no ambiguity.

But Zhou Le knew what was going on. When his brain was still working, drinking could help him unleash his acting skills. When his brain couldn't work, he simply kept silent.

Never give anyone the opportunity to trick you.

For a while, the more they drank, the better they acted. Zhou Le saw his experience value rising rapidly, and the increase even caught up with the time when Zhao Lusi treated them to a meal.

It was not until halfway through the meal that the other party finally started discussing new conditions.

"Teacher Zhou, I actually came here with sincerity this time. Huanrui is good, but in my opinion, it's still not up to par. Two or three years ago, I would have admitted they were good, but now several of them are planning to leave and are fighting with the company. Look at all the productions they have, what kind of people are there? And it's hard to evaluate their artists either. What future do they have?" "Not to mention Jiaxing. If you go there, you'll just be a laborer. Now that you have some popularity, they'll definitely squeeze you to death. And what can they give you? The leading actor in a third-rate production? No one will watch that. Besides, the fighting over there is even worse. And how many talented people can you name right now? None of them are good enough!"

Zhou Le, under the influence of alcohol, put his arm around the man's neck and said, "Brother, this company doesn't work, and that artist doesn't work either. So who do you think is the best?"

"There's only us at Noon Sunshine and you. In my opinion, your potential is far greater than those like Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, and Yang Yang."

The next moment, Zhou Le's hand lost its balance and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Sorry, sorry." Zhou Le apologized as he bent down to pick it up.

"Brother, you flatter me too much. Who are they? How can I compare with them? They are the best of the best. If their fans knew this, I'd probably post my ID number, phone number, and home address online the next day."

"Hahaha, Teacher Zhou is too self-deprecating. But I only said that because I was drunk. Teacher Zhou, please don't spread it."

"That's natural. As a man, of course I have to be careful both above and below."

In fact, Zhou Le's words also express his position to a certain extent.

Don't let the time come when you not only have to understand the flower language of steel wool, but also the survival philosophy of geoduck.

If that were the case, Zhou Le would rather go back to the construction site to do the plastering.

"Hahaha, Teacher Zhou's words are so insightful."

"But brother, I'll be bold for a moment and do as you say. Then how can I compete with them in the future? Even with those top stars."

"It's simple. Isn't it enough to just act in a hit movie for you?"

Zhou Le became excited. He had finally waited for this moment all night.

"Which one?"

The other party smiled mysteriously: "Xu Zheng, do you know?"

"know."

"Ning Hao, you know that too, right?"

"know."

"Where's Wen Mu?"

"I know that too."

"They are preparing a new movie, and we are very optimistic about it. Everyone is vying for a role in it, but most of our artists are busy. As long as you come, we can definitely get you in."

But Zhou Le was a little confused: "But can I play the main role in their play? The main role must be Xu Zheng himself, right?"

"Of course, that's not even a thought."

"But you have to think about it. Who among those who filmed with them didn't become famous? Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, and even the two brothers who took the postgraduate entrance examinations all became famous. As long as you have the ability, why should you worry about anything else?"

"That's true, but what role can I play if I go there?"

"No. 3 at most, but as long as you're capable enough, we guarantee you'll win an award. Our company will also have other TV series coming up after that. Our company is different from others; the TV series we produce are all top-notch. As long as you can demonstrate your abilities in that drama, we'll have no problem giving you the male lead in the new one."

"And that third man should be stable too. After all, they've been in contact with Wang Chuanjun recently. But you know this guy, he's offended a lot of people. But you have us, so think about it."

Zhou Le knew clearly that any one of Xu Zheng, Wen Muye, and Ning Hao was an absolute guarantee of box office success.

Although Lost in Hong Kong had a big hit before, it is highly unlikely that the three of them will work together to do it this time.

So Zhou Le asked the last question.

“Can all of this be written into the contract?”

"can."
