Superstars start as villains

Chapter 24 Loyalty comes first?

"You bastard, you didn't make a phone call before you came back, and you thought you wouldn't recognize me when you got rich." Jiang Xue hammered Zhou Xing's shoulder and scolded with a smile.

"Fuck you in the street, just based on this sentence, you will be fined three glasses of wine, and I am so bad in your heart?" Zhou Xing scolded with a smile.

Jiang Xue shook her head when she heard the words, patted Zhou Xing's shoulder and stopped talking. These days, it's all fake, especially the entertainment industry. His old background was lifted.

"To tell you the truth, I heard that the production team came back a long time ago, why did you arrive today?"

The two found a food stall at random, ordered barbecue and beer, and after three glasses of wine, Jiang Xue couldn't help asking.

"Stupid, my visa has expired, I have to go back and renew it."

It was only then that Jiang Xue remembered that Zhou Xing was different from him. His registered permanent residence was still in the mainland. If he wanted to come to Xiangjiang, he needed to apply for a visa, otherwise he would be a black household.

"Actually, with your current reputation, it's very easy to settle in. Have you ever thought about moving your account here? I can help you."

As soon as Jiang Xue's voice fell, Zhou Xing said seriously: "No need, the film and television industry in the Mainland is developing rapidly, and you will have to go back one day sooner or later. You know, it's easy to become a US citizen, as long as you have money, and the Huaxia account is all you need." You can't buy it."

"Boss, your barbecue is ready, slow food."

"Thank you so much."

Eating barbecue and drinking beer, Jiang Xue suddenly said: "Xingzi, you have become famous now, have you thought about how you will go in the future?"

"Of course I'm going to continue acting. Why don't you come out and set up a stall for barbecue?" Zhou Xing joked.

Jiang Xue stretched out her middle finger in contempt: "Shanzi, you know what I mean."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xing is really a bit of a headache. His contract with Yinhe Pictures has expired. He has become famous recently, and he has naturally become the favorite of many entertainment companies, including big companies like Eagle Entertainment. He threw an olive branch, and there were a lot of other well-known and unknown companies and brokers, and the phone calls were about to explode.

Eagle Emperor Entertainment is indeed a big leg. Many artists dream of a contract. However, a big company like this usually requires artists to sign super-long-term contracts, starting at least five years. This is the three-year plan that Zhou Xing set for himself. If there is a conflict, the first one will naturally be ruled out.

As for other companies, the situation is similar. Large companies generally require a high number of years, while small companies have no resources. In addition, Xiangjiang Entertainment Company has a gangster background behind it. Zhou Xing does not want to leave any stains on himself.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to do it alone. The scene of Hua Ge being filmed with a gun to his head is still vivid. Although the situation has improved after the return of 97, it is impossible to hang out in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle without finding a backer.

The reason why no one troubled Zhou Xing before was because he was not qualified enough, how much money could a man who was just playing tricks have?
It's different now, Zhou Xing is considered well-known, so he will inevitably be targeted by others, even if he knows how to use kung fu, it's easy to hide a spear, but it's hard to guard against it, and it's hard to avoid being plotted against.

"Actually, I think Yinhe Pictures is pretty good. Brother Feng is famous for being kind to his brothers. The company's commission is also low, only [-]%. Yes." Jiang Xue pretended not to say.

"Hey, to be honest, did Brother Feng ask you to be a lobbyist?" Zhou Xing teased.

Jiang Xue was a little embarrassed by Zhou Xing's stare, and smiled honestly: "Actually, Brother Feng didn't say anything, but the company's profits have not been very good in the past two years. You also know about the previous film. It's filming. Not making money is equivalent to losing money.”

"If you have something to say, just say it openly, coyly, really." Zhou Xing scolded with a smile.

Jiang Xue smiled and scratched her head.

Zhou Xing thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "It's fine to sign a contract, but I only sign for three years. After three years, I will go north and return to the mainland to develop. If Brother Feng agrees, I will go to the company tomorrow."

"Hey, let me just say, you kid is the most loyal."

"Come on, is it because I don't agree that you won't associate with me in the future?"

"That's not true, but it's certainly not so heartfelt."

"Fatty, you're still playing with me, and you're fined for drinking."

In another day, Galaxy Films, Office.

"He really said that?"

Brother Feng still wears sunglasses and looks cool, but judging from his graying hair, it is clear that the company is not having a good time.

Hearing that Zhou Xing agreed to sign the contract, a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

"I've said long ago that Xingzai is the most loyal person." Jiang Xue said confidently. In fact, he was a dead horse and a living horse doctor after finishing the work. Who would have thought that Zhou Xing actually agreed.

Loyalty, speaking of it, is a very interesting word in Xiangjiang. These days, even young and Dangerous people don’t talk about loyalty when they come out to hang out, they only talk about money.

It is also because things are rare and precious, loyalty is a quality that Xiangjiang people attach great importance to, and it is the same in the film and television industry. It is difficult for a person who does not value loyalty to survive in the industry. This is why many actors, after becoming famous, But the reason why he lowered his value to star in some bad movies is that the debt of favor and loyalty come first, and money is just vulgar.

Of course, loyalty is only one of the reasons. The reason why Zhou Xing chose to sign the contract with Galaxy Pictures is precisely because of its "unprofessionalism".

Yinhe Films is a professional film maker, and the signing is only a film contract. If Zhou Xing wants to release records or act in TV dramas, it has nothing to do with Yinhe Films. He can put this part of the money in his pocket. Of course, Yinhe Films itself has no relevant channels. , These all depend on Zhou Xing himself.

And a giant like Eagle Emperor Entertainment, to put it nicely, is called the three-dwelling development of film and television, and to put it bluntly, it squeezes out the remaining value of artists, and I still want to squeeze it out.

And the contract signed between Yinhe Pictures and Zhou Xing did make some concessions. In addition to the film remuneration divided into [-]% and [-]% for the company, the company only received [-]% of the remuneration for Zhou Xing's commercial performances and endorsements. The line arranges a special broker and life assistant.

"Sister Anli, I'll take care of you from now on."

"You're welcome, we are here as partners."

Sister Anli seemed very satisfied with her partner, she shook Zhou Xing's hand with a smile, and turned around to tease Brother Feng, "It's been three years, and you finally let me bring a more reliable artist."

Brother Feng could only helplessly shrug his shoulders at the crowd, which also made Zhou Xing a little curious about the status of Miss Anli. Brother Feng has always been unsmiling and looks very dignified. In addition, his seniority is high and his works are frequent visitors of major awards. , It is rare in the entire film and television industry to make him feel deflated.

There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the entertainment industry, and the news of Zhou Xing's signing with Galaxy Pictures quickly spread within the circle, and many people praised him for his loyalty. Of course, many people thought he was stupid, and he was still showing loyalty to others these days ?Isn't the smell of banknotes fragrant?
