World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Chapter 41 The Newcomer With High Self-esteem

Chinese Artists Training Institute.

Male dormitory building of the Department of Performance.

Room 3312.

"Hey, Zhou Bo is back."

"Zhou Bo, how's it going?"

"People from Daqin Empire Entertainment are looking for you. Have you decided that you will be the leading actor in the new movie directed by Qin Dong?"

There were four people in the dormitory, and the other three people saw Zhou Bo walking into the dormitory, and they quickly gathered around and started asking questions.

His face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

An hour ago, Zhou Bo received a call from Daqin Empire Entertainment Company and went out. The other three brothers in the dormitory knew about it and had been discussing it. They were both happy for him and disappointed that they were not selected.

The male students in the performance department of their school did not directly invest materials into the Great Qin Empire mailbox, but handed over the materials to the tutors in the department. Everyone knew that this was done through the back door. After all, Qin Dong was born here. At this time, Zhou Bo took over

When I get to the phone, it goes without saying.

"..."

Facing the inquiries from three classmates in the dormitory, Zhou Bo did not speak, but frowned and found a stool to sit down on.

"What's wrong? Zhou Bo."

The persistent questioning made Zhou Bo feel even worse, and he shook his head irritably:

"It's okay. I have some things to think about. Brothers, please be quiet for a while."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out, walked to a quiet part of the corridor, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number:

"Dad, today the Great Qin Empire..."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

....

Two days later in the morning.

Daqin Empire Entertainment Company.

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting. Let's disperse. Manager Xu will stay."

After Qin Dong watched the other managers of the company leave, he looked at Xu Li and asked:

"Has the contract been signed?"

Xu Li knew what Qin Dong was asking and hesitated:

"Mr. Qin, we need some time."

Qin Dong frowned and his expression dropped:

"What do you mean? Sign up as a student, but you haven't been able to get it done after two days? If this is your ability, I can only say that Sister Li, when the company gets bigger in the future, your position will be..."

Xu Li felt a little aggrieved when she heard this. She is in her thirties, and her eyes were a little red.

Qin Dong was helpless. He almost cried. His words were a bit harsh, so he quickly comforted him:

"Okay, Sister Li, I just didn't pay attention to what I was saying. I'm not a person who kills people. Please tell me why the contract hasn't been signed in two days."

Xu Li said aggrievedly:

"Mr. Qin, that Zhou Bo doesn't want to sign a ten-year contract. He thinks it's too long. He even doesn't want to sign an artist contract, he just wants to sign a movie contract."

"I didn't agree. Later, he and some people called me. They were all people in the circle and had some status. They wanted to intercede and see if I could sign a short-term contract, three years or five years at most.

"I have received several calls in the past two days, all of them asking for help."

Qin Dong looked straight at Xu Li and suddenly laughed:

"Ha ha..."

"Mr. Qin."

Xu Li was frightened. Looking at Qin Dong's appearance, she thought something had happened to Qin Dong.

"You, you..."

Qin Dong's laughter disappeared, he reached out and tapped Xu Li, his face turned cold:

"How was Xu Wenfeng's background check?"

Xu Li was frightened by Qin Dong's expression and quickly reported:

"Mr. Qin, I have also checked this person's information. There are no problems. His past remarks and his parents and other relatives are all normal."

Qin Dong pointed at Xu Li and ordered:

"Go, now, sign Xu Wenfeng today. Well, the contract will be extended to twenty years for me."

Xu Li was stunned:

"Twenty years?"

Qin Dong narrowed his eyes and asked:

"The law doesn't allow you to sign for so long?"

Xu Li shook her head:

"No, there is no law in this area. It's just that there are basically no people in the industry who sign for such a long time."

"That's okay."

Qin Dong muttered angrily and added:

"Additional clauses. Once the artist's style is harmful in the future, and there are restrictions on morals and obligations as a Chinese, not only will the company have the right to freeze the artist, but the artist will also have to compensate the company for the loss of reputation and other losses.

, please set a higher amount for me, one billion is not too little, and two billion is not too much."

"Go and discuss the legal aspects with Director Zheng. Don't make any mistakes. We'll sign it today."

"Tell Xu Wenfeng that if he misses it, he will be replaced today."

"Go ahead."

Without saying anything to Xu Li, Qin Dong directly waved his hand and drove them away.

After Xu Li walked out, Qin Dong sneered a few times.

Mu De, what he experienced personally before filming his first movie had already made Qin Dong very disgusted. He made up his mind at that time to stop caring about these messy trivial matters in the future.

A mere acting student who has not yet graduated has the courage to ask him for conditions and find someone to intercede with him. He really thinks he is a greenhorn.

I still thought he was a time traveler like Mr. Qin, or maybe there was something wrong with him.

This is because he looks down on his small company and wants to use his movies to get started and then sign a contract with a big company. Qin Dong will never take a second look at such a person from now on.

There is not much in China these days, except that it has the largest population.

If you can't find any type of talent, you can go wherever you die.

Ten years is too long, so let’s sign a twenty-year contract and see if others are willing to sign it.

...

There is a cafe not far outside the Chinese Artists Training Institute.

"The contract only counts today. If you miss today, we will replace you."

There was no smile on Xu Li's face. When she saw Xu Wenfeng appeared, she handed over the contract directly, said this, and then picked up the coffee to taste.

She had already understood Qin Dong's meaning along the way.

Thinking about what Qin Dong said a long time ago, I completely understood one thing. Qin Dong, the boss, is very willful and does not value the resumes of some people in the industry. He values character more. He also feels that there are so many actors graduating every year.

After so many years, there are actually so many actors that anyone can exist in this entertainment industry.

"..."

Xu Wenfeng was stunned when he saw Xu Li's style.

However, he didn't say much, but picked up the contract and read it carefully.

In the past few days, word had spread in their school that Da Qin Empire Entertainment Company's second movie actor had already selected Zhou Bo, who was on the same level as him. Xu Wenfeng was very envious at the time. Unexpectedly, things would turn around, and today he received an invitation from Da Qin Empire.

He called and hurriedly ran out of the school gate.

"Huh? Artist contract, movie contract?"

Xu Wenfeng was stunned when he saw the two documents. He only thought that the Great Qin Empire liked him and wanted him to play a supporting role, but he didn't expect that it wanted to sign him into the company, and the leading role in the movie was also given to him.

I quickly looked at it carefully.

"Twenty years?"

Xu Wenfeng's face changed when he saw the contract period, the subsequent notes, and the moral and personal ethics clauses. After reading the two contracts, he didn't speak for a while and fell into deep thought...

A few minutes later, Xu Wenfeng looked up at Xu Li:

"Director Xu, I don't know if you can give me half an hour to an hour. I want to go out and make a few calls. Can I come back and give you an answer?"

When Xu Li heard this, she realized that this guy was better spoken than Zhou Bo last time, and she immediately felt better:

"Go ahead. Once the contract is signed, it will last for twenty years. This is an absolutely important event in your life. It only takes an hour, but I am still willing to wait."

"Thanks."

Xu Wenfeng stood up, bowed slightly, and then quickly walked out of the cafe.

One hour, at this time, is really not much time to face the turning point in life.

"Hey, tutor, I'm Xu Wenfeng..."

"Hey, Dad..."

"Hey..., brother..."

The road of life is not a straight road, but there are many choices at the fork in the road.

What the future holds, apart from the help of others, is mostly your own choice.

"Director Xu, I'll sign."

About forty or fifty minutes later, Xu Wenfeng came back, said this, and signed the contract directly.

As for hiring a lawyer to review the contract, it's not necessary.

Twenty years, 50-50 split, and N moral clauses.
