Being in the modeling industry, my information is updated daily.

Chapter 165 Lin Qingsong, who relies on his good looks, is a hidden rich second-generation.

On the other end of the video call.

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhizhi, dressed in yoga clothes, nodded easily and said, "Sure, I just finished my workout and I'm ready to go anytime."

Although such temporary replacements are not common, they do happen occasionally.

Either the model cancels, or the client finds that the actor doesn't match the photo after arriving on set and demands a replacement.

"The fee is 6,000 yuan for eight hours. After that, it will be charged at 1,000 yuan per hour. In addition, the portrait rights include one year of online multimedia usage rights in the Asian region."

“No problem, handsome Lin, where is the filming location?” Although Duan Zhizhi is the group leader of the “Shanghai 8K+ God of Wealth Model Group”, it doesn’t mean she won’t take on cases worth less than 8,000 yuan.

She's willing to take on projects like this, where there's no audition, no makeup session, and it's just a last-minute reshoot during her free time, even if the price is a bit lower.

Actors' prices are flexible.

Sometimes, different agents can ask the same actor for the same case and get different prices.

Facial recognition is also a common practice in this industry.

If the actors or models are familiar with you, think you have a lot of high-quality cases, and want to continue working with you in the future, they might offer you a lower price.

However, if you are new to the area and working with an actor or model for the first time, they might ask for a higher price, since they don't know if you will have any cases in the future.

Lin Qingsong is an agent who can get actors to lower their prices by using his personal connections.

On the one hand, he has many cases, and most of them aren't particularly troublesome; on the other hand...
Who wouldn't want to work with a handsome guy more often?

"Okay, I'll talk to the client and see what they say."

After Lin Qingsong finished speaking with Duan Zhizhi, he shrunk the video and sent a message to Sun Chengfeng.

Upon receiving the news, Sun Chengfeng immediately showed Duan Zhizhi's information to the client.

"This one is good. Are there any others?" The person from Youzhu Costume Marketing Department nodded slightly after looking at it, and then asked another question.

“Not yet, but I’ve already sent messages to several other similar models and actresses. They may not have woken up yet.” Sun Chengfeng said this skillfully, and then added, “Also, this Duan Zhizhi is quite good. I’ve worked with her before. Her temperament and everything else match our clothes quite well, and she’s very cooperative.”

Although he only posted it on his WeChat Moments and no actors or models posted anything, that doesn't stop him from saying that.

After all, he didn't post it, but the producer and the model's agent definitely did.

The merits of those below him are also his merits.

He's just bragging about having worked with Duan Zhizhi, but he has worked with Lin Qingsong, and Lin Qingsong definitely worked with Duan Zhizhi.

rounding.

He also essentially worked with Duan Zhizhi!

The marketing staff at Youzhu Market carefully reviewed Duan Zhizhi's information for a while, especially the video of her walking the runway.

Then, after looking at the people the producer had found, they finally decided to use Duan Zhizhi.

"Let her come then. Hopefully, there won't be any problems this time!"

Time is indeed a bit tight; if we delay any longer, we definitely won't be able to finish filming today.

Upon hearing the client's words, Sun Chengfeng repeatedly assured him, "There definitely won't be any problems. Actually, I wanted to recommend Duan Zhizhi for the shoot from the beginning, but she wasn't sure about her schedule at the time, so I didn't recommend her. You'll definitely be satisfied once Zhizhi arrives!"

"Ah."

After the client agreed, Sun Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and sent Lin Qingsong the exact message.

[Address: Yunmeng Costume Photography Base]

"Brother, I owe you a favor this time."

Finished.

He asked the producer to shoot some empty scenes and landscapes first.

Although there are no actors, the production cannot truly come to a standstill.

at the same time.

After receiving this message, Lin Qingsong stopped his casual conversation with Duan Zhizhi and spoke up:

"Zhizhi, the client has confirmed that the shoot will be held in Yunmeng today. Go there now, and I'll reimburse your taxi fare."

"Okay, okay, I'll set off now. It should take about an hour to get there." After saying that, Duan Zhizhi looked at Lin Qingsong with a smile and said:

"Brother Lin, you're not going to skip the set again, are you? We haven't seen each other for almost half a year. You still owe me a milk tea from the last time we were on set!"

"Yes, yes, of course I'll go." Lin Qingsong paused and then added, "But I'll definitely have to leave for a bit to sign a contract with a friend. Their company's TV series is starting filming in a few days."

In the video.

Duan Zhizhi, who was packing up to leave the gym, stopped when she heard this and said, "TV series? What TV series? Lao Lin, do you have any good cases you can take me on?"

"You know what," Lin Qingsong said, looking at Duan Zhizhi, "this is a TV series about the fashion industry. If your fee isn't too high, I might actually let you have a cameo role."

"Ahem, the lowest is five, four thousand! No, three thousand!" Duan Zhizhi kept lowering her price, then said with a sad face, "Old Lin, we have our rules too. I can't work for free. You can't expect me to work for free!"

She was right about that.

Although the industry doesn't explicitly state it, it applies not only to agents but also to actors and models.

They all tacitly agreed to do one thing.

No matter how good the relationship is, you have to earn the money you're entitled to.

At most, you can earn a little less by relying on your face, but agents will definitely take a commission, and models and actors will never work for free.

Just like this time.

Lin Qingsong took two thousand from it.

Sun Chengfeng offered 8,000 yuan for eight hours.

But Duan Zhizhi tacitly refrained from asking about it.

To be precise, actors and models who have been in the industry for a few days will tacitly abide by this rule.

If the price seems right to you, then accept the job; if not, then don't.

But if you take the job, don't go around telling everyone how much you paid, and don't ask others how much they paid.

There's no need to be silly and go to the producer to tell them how much they paid for the job and ask how much they paid their agent.

This will only tell others that you are new to the industry, and it won't bring you any benefits. On the contrary, it will arouse the resentment of your agent.

Many newcomers to the industry like to try to be clever by privately adding producers on WeChat and offering to lower their prices.

They believe they can earn more money by bypassing agents and dealing directly with clients.

Unfortunately, quite the opposite is true.

Their actions will not achieve any results whatsoever.

After all, the producer might need an actor like you this time, but who knows when they might need an actor like you again. Most importantly, it's so much easier for the producer to hire an agent.

All you need to do is send out the price, time, location, and number of people.

The agent will immediately send you dozens or even hundreds of documents.

The producer only needs to take their time selecting actors.

Anyway, he's already earned the money he was entitled to.

Why do we need to find actors ourselves?

Of course, if the model and actor are exceptionally outstanding, then that's a different story.

after all.

Throughout history, beauty has always been a universal currency.

"Three thousand it is. I'll see if there's anything suitable and send you to the film set to have some fun." Lin Qingsong nodded in agreement.

Anyway, he gets to choose all the guest appearances in the production team, so he'll definitely be able to find a suitable role for Duan Zhizhi to play.

“Okay! It’s a deal. I’ll head over now, Lao Lin. See you in Yunmeng then.” Duan Zhizhi finished speaking, waved to Lin Qingsong, and hung up the video call.

Lin Qingsong checked his phone and, finding he still had time, worked out his legs for a while before leaving the gym in his apartment.

It takes Duan Zhizhi more than an hour to get to Yunmeng, but it only takes him twenty minutes. He has already told Sun Chengfeng that he might be a little late.

So there's no rush.

He walked to the door, picked up the breakfast takeout he had just ordered, and then turned back.

Downstairs at COFCO Ocean View One, Tianyue Tower.

Lin Qingsong walked towards the nearby garbage bin and easily found a dust bag inside.

According to the system's prompts, the perfectly preserved 1970s Ferragamo classic handbag should be inside this.

Without lingering for long, Lin Qingsong picked up the dust bag and left.

Standing on the elevator.

He took a picture of the handbag and sent it to Gu Wen: "Gu Gu, is this classic Ferragamo handbag from the 1970s selling well where you are?"

Gu Wen replied immediately: "Old Lin, bags and handbags are my main business, so they'll definitely sell. But where did you get this one?"

"Yes, I found it at the garbage collection point," Lin Qingsong honestly stated the source of the item.

"Damn, what kind of trash can would have something in this condition? No, what kind of person would throw away a bag in this condition?" Gu Wen couldn't help but swear.

"Hmm, maybe people just think the garbage bins downstairs at COFCO Ocean View One Sky Tower are outdated."

Upon seeing the garbage bins at COFCO Ocean View One, especially the one at the top of the building, Gu Wen remained silent, only sending a string of ellipses.

Then, she asked curiously, "Old Lin, what were you doing there? You're not some kind of hidden rich kid, are you?"

"No, that's not it at all. A friend bought a house but doesn't live there often, so he lent it to me." Lin Qingsong finished speaking and then teased, "So? Gu Gu, you're interested in the garbage bins here?"

"Haha, I really do want to stake out that garbage bin."

Upon seeing Gu Wen's message, Lin Qingsong smiled and jokingly sent an invitation on his phone: "Then I'll bring you here to stake out this garbage bin on Valentine's Day. Maybe we can find flowers rolled up with RMB."

"Haha, great! Lately, everyone's been saying online that you can find all sorts of things in trash cans on Valentine's Day—cell phones, earphones, necklaces, rings, and so on." Gu Wen responded to the invitation on her phone, almost as if she were joking: "Then next Valentine's Day, I'll have to trouble Lao Lin to help me make a fortune!"

"No problem, you can try selling this handbag first. If you sell it, I'll send it to you. I'm really busy right now, I have to go to the film set later."

After sending the message, Lin Qingsong and Gu Wen walked to the apartment door and unlocked it with their fingerprints.

He placed the takeout on the table, rinsed it briefly, and then saw the crew-cut man walk over, still half asleep. "Lin, why are you up so early?"

"You've gotten up just in time. I'm going out in a bit." Lin Qingsong pointed to the breakfast on the table and continued, "A cleaning lady will come to clean around 1 p.m., so please keep an eye out for her."

"Okay." After agreeing, the man with the buzz cut subconsciously asked, "Will you be back tonight?"

"We're not coming back." After saying that, Lin Qingsong looked at her and said, "If you want to sleep here tonight, then continue sleeping. I'll give you a temporary password later."

"If you're not coming back, we're not staying either. We'll leave once they wake up." The woman with the buzz cut was a little more awake now, and she looked around somewhat awkwardly, saying, "What if your friends come?"

"She won't come."

Lin Qingsong had previously asked Qin Lanjie if he minded if he brought people to stay here; if he did, he wouldn't bring them.

Qin Lan nonchalantly indicated that she didn't mind.

Anyway, she bought this house as an investment, so she basically won't be living here.

Now that Lin Qingsong has moved in, it's his freedom to bring whomever he wants.

Despite saying that, the crew-cut man still indicated that Eva and Elena should go back to the apartment to stay that night.

In her words, this place is expensive, and if Lin Qingsong isn't around, she can't even sleep soundly; she feels insecure.

Although Lin Qingsong thought it was just that she was picky about the bed, he didn't mind.

It doesn't matter whether I stay there or not.

After finishing this topic, the man with the buzz cut suddenly slapped his forehead: "Lin, I forgot to mention yesterday that my agency agreed to let me terminate my contract early, but they won't budge on the termination fee."

"It's alright, as long as we can terminate the contract, that's fine. We don't need to budge on the fee. I'll tell Seventh Brother about this later." Lin Qingsong finished speaking and sat down at the dining table, asking her, "Are you having breakfast now? Or are you going to sleep a little longer?"

"Hehe, I'll have breakfast with you for a while." The man with the buzz cut said, sitting on Lin Qingsong's lap with a big smile, "Do you want me to feed you?"

"I'm afraid that if you feed me, I won't be able to walk!" Lin Qingsong said speechlessly as he pushed her aside. "Eat quickly."

no way.

Men who have just finished exercising will also enter a period of post-workout relaxation.

It usually gets better after about one or two hours when the hormone levels rise.

After finishing his meal, changing his clothes, and saying goodbye to the man with the buzz cut, he took his bag and went downstairs.

Go downstairs.

Looking at his little Mercedes, which trembled among all the luxury cars and sports cars, Lin Qingsong couldn't help but feel proud of it.

Little Ben.

You're lucky to be with me.

If it weren't for me, you might not even be able to get into this garage.

As the car started and slowly drove through the underground parking garage, Lin Qingsong felt a strange urge to join in as he looked at the sports cars.

Now that he has money, he wants to get a sports car to drive.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Sinner, Koenigsegg, Bugatti, moisturizer, Pagani—all come at once!
About twenty minutes later, he parked his car in a ground parking space outside the Yunmeng film set, looked at the glaring sunlight outside, and got out of the car wearing sunglasses.
