I won't give you a dime [entertainment circle]

Lin Cong and Jing Qian stared at each other for a long time, and they both saw from the other's awkward expression that they couldn't laugh or cry.

The atmosphere became more and more cold, Jing Qian asked him in a low voice, "Do you want to tell me?"

Lin Cong nodded.

"General manager Zhang, I don't think Mr. Huo will trouble me because of the small salary. My parents and Mr. Huo have a good relationship. You don't have to bring him out to suppress me."

General manager Zhang's complacent expression suddenly became stiff.

Lin Cong's parents knew Huo Liang?

He reads the trending searches every day and can see very clearly that every time Lin Cong's trending topics are stingy and poor.Even if they knew each other, they were mostly poor relatives and poor friends who could barely get on with each other. Can they compare to him, a capable subordinate of a branch company in the film and television industry?

He adjusted his expression and turned to smile, seemingly friendly, but his tone was very uncomfortable: "Mr. Lin, don't bluff people, we know the family background of the co-stars."

"..." No matter how good-tempered Lin Cong was, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This show is just to save the salary that should have been given to myself.

Putting on a gesture of sincerity to invite him to dinner, but insisting on the price, only giving him the salary of the newcomer.He couldn't even tell whether he was the more stingy or the general manager Zhang who managed the project was stingy.

The negotiation failed, and the producer on the side couldn't stand it any longer, so he hurried to smooth things over: "The salary is easy to talk about. Mr. Lin is getting more and more popular now, and it's normal for his value to rise. Come and have a drink..."

Lin Cong took a sip of the wine, but as soon as the wine entered his throat, he smiled and said: "The meal is almost done. Since the contract is in dispute, why don't you discuss it later. I have more tomorrow morning." Announcement, I'm afraid I can't enjoy myself."

After he said this, he felt extremely relaxed.From then on, his family background can completely become his backing, and he doesn't have to endure unreasonable suppression and belittling him anymore.

Jing Qian turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

When Lin Cong first debuted, he had an easy-going personality and never showed any edge.Even now, he was lightly embarrassing that General Manager Zhang, but his movements and tone were still graceful and calm.

Even Jing Qian had never seen Lin Cong put up thorns all over his body for himself, regaining his aura.

She was very happy, because Lin Cong already had the capital to fight for better resources for herself, no matter in terms of family background or popularity.

The banquet broke up unhappy.

After Lin Cong left, General Manager Zhang called Huo Liang.

"Mr. Huo, we had a little conflict with the male lead selected by the producer during dinner. The actor thinks the salary is not high enough. I'm afraid we have to continue looking for actors."

Huo Liang was obviously displeased: "The right actor is very important for filming, and the salary is easy to negotiate. How do you do things?"

General manager Zhang subconsciously smiled and said through the microphone: "That actor is so arrogant, and he insists on dating you. I couldn't stand it, so I said a few words to him."

"Climb relatives?"

"His name is Lin Cong. I have read his hot searches and checked his past experience. He obviously has a very ordinary family..."

"Do you know who Lin Cong is?"

When General Manager Zhang heard that Huo Liang was in a bad mood, his voice also weakened a lot: "Say it."

"My nephew."

General Manager Zhang: "???"

Lin Cong got into the company car and went home, feeling very relaxed.

Now that he has confidence, he shouldn't let others bully him.Jing Qian told him very early on that even if the status is not high enough, there must be a bottom line in bargaining.Compromise once in silence today, and in the future countless producers will offer him a contract at a low price.

What's more, there is a schedule conflict between "Gravel" and "Green Fruit", so it would not be a pity to give up.

He recently applied for a Weibo account and followed several influential fans.Since his mentality has gradually calmed down and the burden of life is not so heavy, he wants to understand the feelings of fans even more.

Tonight, a Weibo that filled the homepage caught his attention.

[I heard from the young lady who works in the circle that the price of the film and television contract that Lin Lin signed recently has doubled QAQ, he is finally rich. 】

There are only a few hundred interactions so far, but the uptrend is fast.

The forwarded comments were either excited or distressed, and gradually attracted more passers-by to watch. Old fans who had been lying at the bottom of the pit for a long time were all educated about how hard life was when Lin Cong had no money before, and popularized the difficulties behind his tenacity.

He is good-looking, has good acting skills, and had a miserable life before he became popular, and he has firmly grasped the hearts of fans.

Lin Cong: "..." Fans' misunderstanding of him is really getting deeper and deeper.

He couldn't help but want to clarify, but he didn't know where to start.Now to subvert the fans' impression of him, the topic of the next day is probably going to become #林洛突赏富#.

In the end, he had no choice but to use his trumpet to comment: [Doubling is a bit exaggerated, right? 】

Only the movie "Green Fruit" doubled his salary for some reason, and he hasn't signed the contract yet.

On the other side, the crew of "Gravel" obviously wants to bargain today - his status is far from double the price.

As a result, his own trumpet became the only spoiler among the hundreds of comments that were happy for him, and more and more people came to hate him.Reply from the beginning [It’s just gossip, how can an honest person here take it seriously? ] became【Are you jealous of others' success in counterattack when they are young and promising? ], quickly built a comment high-rise.

Fortunately, the fans were quite gentle and didn't say anything harsh.However, his fans are also good at writing, and they can embarrass him without a single ugly word.

Lin Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and simply put down the phone.

Can't afford to provoke fans or hide?

Then Huo Liang called him, and Lin Cong was taken aback for a moment: "Uncle Huo? What do you want from me?"

Huo Liang apologized as soon as he opened his mouth: "Xiao Cong, I'm really sorry. I leave the entertainment business to my subordinates in the company. Your parents didn't let me mention you in the company before. They didn't even know who you were. .”

Lin Cong's anger aroused at the banquet has long since disappeared: "It's all right, don't worry about it."

"Do you still want this resource? I heard from the director that he appreciates you."

"I'm still thinking about..."

Before the second half of the sentence "there may be a conflict in the schedule", Huo Liang said happily: "I will tell General Manager Zhang about that line and ask him to apologize to you. You can continue to discuss the contract. I am too busy today Get in touch later."

The phone hangs up.

Then the phone rang again, it was an unfamiliar number, and the voice of General Manager Zhang rang from the microphone, but the arrogance at the banquet just now was completely gone: "Mr. The past contract has been sent to your agent."

Lin Cong was dumbfounded.

He hasn't figured out how to resolve the conflict of schedules yet, so why does Huo Liang assume that he agreed?

"General Manager Zhang, I accept your apology, but my schedule is a bit full, and whether we can cooperate depends on my agent..."

"If you feel that you are not sincere enough, how about I double the salary for you?"

Lin Cong: "???"

……

Yun Yun made a video call to Fei Lang and Han You, and the first thing he said after connecting was: "It's been three days, and he hasn't signed a contract yet."

Seeing Fei Lang frowned slightly, Yun Yun said without hesitation: "Mr. Fei, you may have scared people."

Han You explained in detail: "The conditions are so good that it is easy to suspect that there is a trap. Director Yun had already given the contract to Mr. Lin on the day of the audition. After seeing the original salary, he suddenly wanted to double it. It might feel unreal.”

Seeing that Fei Lang didn't speak, Yunyun continued to sting: "Of course I admire Lin Cong, but the original contract was a fair deal based on his worth, and now he still doesn't sign after giving him twice the price, and I don't bother." Go ask him again."

Fei Lang knew that Director Yun's temper was notoriously lofty and arrogant, he was too lazy to talk nonsense when he didn't need to speak, and getting him to talk to persuade others was harder than going to heaven.What's more, he is still a well-known director. He must be unhappy in his heart after raising the price and condescending to beg a new actor.

"He is the reason for my investment." Fei Lang had a thought, lowered his posture for the first time, and sincerely said to Yun Yun, "This matter is very important to me, please trouble you."

Fei Lang's move was only to increase Lin Cong's salary, and did not disturb other actors and staff except for the director team.

If he wanted to help Lin Cong quietly by raising his salary, he could only have a good talk with Yun Yun and ask him to give Lin Cong a reasonable explanation.

Unexpectedly, Director Yun became even more angry when he heard this: "My film is not short of investment, and I only signed Lin Cong because of Lin Cong's appearance and qualifications as a character, and his acting skills are good. Even if you withdraw the investment, it's nothing to me loss."

"I understand, so I will trouble you."

Yunyun didn't expect to stab himself into the cotton with a knife, and he was stunned for a while, before finally saying what he had been holding back for many days: "Mr. Fei, I don't know what's the story between you and Mr. He doesn't know anything about your efforts, and it's all in vain."

"If he has financial difficulties, a salary increase will not solve the problem."

As soon as Yunyun's words came out, Han You also reacted: "Yes, Mr. Lin signed the contract when he first debuted. The company must have a large percentage of the company's commission, and most of the increased salary went to Mingtu Entertainment's account .”

Ferran remained silent.

After Han You finished speaking, Fei Lang still didn't respond, and Yunyun didn't bother to say any more: "That's all I've said."

Then he hung up.

"Director Yun really has a bad temper..." Han You sweated as he watched the screen that suddenly went black—even the Lins and his wife of the LIM Group, who had the most conflicts with Fei Lang recently, would not suddenly Hang up the video call.

"Director Yun is right." Fei Lang finally said, "One salary increase is not enough, I have to praise him."

Han You: "..."

He thinks that the cloud is not what it means.
