A-list actors

Chapter 40 Solicitation
After eating and resting for a while, Zhou Shu bid farewell to Niu Fenfang, letting them enjoy the long-lost two-person world.

Back in his new home, Zhou Shu looked at the dust in the house and wanted to cry. He hadn't lived in the house for a few days after renting it, and he had paid the rent for several months in vain.

I was a little tired from running around today, I was going to tidy up the house and plan to do it tomorrow, I tidied up the bed casually, after a refreshing wash, I lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, after a busy morning, Zhou Shu cleaned up the house. Looking at the clean white walls, neat furnishings, and translucent glass...

"If only this was my house..." Zhou Shu lay on the sofa and thought greedily.

"The spring flowers will bloom and the birds will be free..."

I took a look at the phone, and it showed an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhou Shu?"

After the call was connected, a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm Zhou Shu, who are you and what can I do for you?"

"I am Zhang Shide, the agent of Jisu Media. Our company saw your performance in "Independence Group" and is very interested in you. Do you have a contract with an economic company now?"

"Not yet."

Zhou Shu pretended to be calm and replied, but his heart was already excited. It seems that someone has discovered my talent in Zhou Shu, and now some economic companies have come to me on their own initiative.

"Are you in Hengdian? If we have time in the afternoon, we can make an appointment for an interview."

The person on the other side didn't know what was going on in Zhou Shu's mind, so he still politely extended an invitation to Zhou Shu.

"No problem, I'm in Hengdian now, tell me a place."

Zhou Shu is quite curious about the brokerage company. If he can get a good contract, joining the brokerage company is indeed much better than fighting alone.

"Then let's meet at Starlight Coffee at two o'clock in the afternoon, and call me when we arrive."

"Okay, let's meet again in the afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shu couldn't keep it any longer, and couldn't help rolling on the sofa, "I've already been signed by a brokerage company, can I be far from being famous?"

After calming down, Zhou Shu turned on the computer that he had bought and hadn't used yet, and searched for the information of Jisu Media.

Extreme Media was established in 2016. It is a relatively junior entertainment company. Its main business is to send contracted artists to various production crews. Since the company was established, it has not had any artists that can be sold. The biggest name is only a third-tier star.

"This company is a bit weak."

Looking at the information from Jisu Media, Zhou Shu touched his chin and his heart completely turned cold. This company looked like it had no future.

After lunch, Zhou Shu came to the Starlight Cafe as scheduled. Whether he succeeds or not is another matter, and there is no harm in chatting.

When Zhou Shu arrived, Zhang Shide was already waiting at his seat. When he saw Zhou Shu coming in from the door, he waved to Zhou Shu. He had obviously made preparations and had a certain understanding of Zhou Shu.

Zhang Shide is a middle-aged man about 36 or [-] years old. He has an ordinary face, a thin body, neatly groomed hair, and a well-fitting suit. The first impression he gives is that he is smart and capable.

"Hi Zhou Shu, I'm Zhang Shide from Extreme Media, nice to meet you."

As soon as Zhou Shu approached, Zhang Shide stood up and extended his hand to Zhou Shu.

"Hello."

The two shook hands and sat down.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Let's have a latte."

Zhou Shu didn't drink coffee much, and he didn't like it, so he chose a coffee with a familiar name.

"Let's get straight to the point and not waste each other's time."

Zhang Shide took out a notebook from his bag and placed it on the table, looking very professional.

Zhou Shu himself was also a person who disliked being verbose. Zhang Shide's proposal was in line with his wishes and he nodded in agreement.

"Let me introduce our company first. I believe you have checked our company information on the Internet. Extreme Media was founded in 2016. It can be said that it is a new company, but our company's strength is not weak. We have cultivated a third-tier company in just two years. Celebrities and artists have also signed nearly 20 people, and the company has been growing rapidly in recent years.

Our boss used to be an executive of Tiancheng Films, one of the five giants, and has deep connections in the film and television industry. Joining us will definitely be of great help to your career as an actor. "

After Zhang Shide briefly introduced the situation of their company, he continued: "Our company will make detailed plans for actors, and will not waste your talent.

And the company will also fight for some commercial activities for you, increasing your exposure and income. "

Zhou Shu has no interest in participating in business activities. He is a person who is easily satisfied and doesn't like a busy life.

After listening to Zhang Shide's explanation, Zhou Shu was most concerned about the issue of income distribution. He had heard that the brokerage company would be very harsh on the contracts of newcomers, crazily squeezing the value of artists, and he didn't know what would happen to Speed ​​Media.

Faced with Zhou Shu's question, Zhang Shide didn't rush to answer, but took a sip of coffee before saying: "Nowadays, the signing ratio between a brokerage company and a newcomer is generally 9:1, [-]% for the company and [-]% for the artists.

But our boss saw your performance in "Independent Troupe" and thought your acting skills were very good. He admired you very much, so he allowed me to give you a ratio of 8:2, and you got [-]%. "

"Thank you boss for your appreciation."

It is always a happy thing to be praised by others, and Zhou Shu's sense of the boss who has never been masked has improved.

"More than that, if you come to our company, we will give you more resources to train you."

Seeing that Zhou Shu was interested, Zhang Shide spoke more vigorously.

"Then I would like to ask how many years the company's contract is usually signed and what specific plans it has for me."

"Nowadays, all companies sign contracts for newcomers for ten to 15 years. Our company signs you for ten years, and will provide you with at least three opportunities to play supporting roles every year, and at least one important supporting role within three years. "

Zhang Shide did a solid job and answered Zhou's questions in a clear and orderly manner.

"Didn't you say when you will play the leading role?"

"Uh, the company doesn't have detailed regulations for the protagonist, but if you develop well, the company will also fight for you to play the leading role."

Hearing Zhou Shu's question, although Zhang Shide didn't say it clearly, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. A rookie actor even asked to play the leading role. You thought you were Hu Qing.

Zhou Shu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and his interest dropped drastically. After talking for a long time, he would only have a few opportunities to play supporting roles after joining the company, and he would also be paid a huge commission by the company.

He is now going to play a leading role in his own development, but he can only play a supporting role when he joins the company. Anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose.

"I already understand what Brother Zhang said, but after thinking about it, I don't want to join the brokerage company yet, sorry."

Zhou Shu finally rejected the invitation of Speed ​​Media.

"It's okay, we will have a chance to cooperate again in the future."

Facing Zhou Shu's refusal, Zhang Shide's face remained unchanged, and after politely saying goodbye to Zhou Shu, he checked out and left.

"This guy is not bad."

Seeing Zhang Shide's back disappear, Zhou Shu sighed.
