When Zhong Ming stood at the door of the jewelry store, he took the ring that Ling Zhi had just given him and entered the door. The waitress came over with a sweet smile, bowed and said, "Hello."

"Hello." Zhong Ming put the ring in his hand and asked, "I want to buy this style of ring... It was originally a pair with this one, and there is one left, I want to buy."

The waiter looked carefully and led him to the front of the counter. Another older woman came over, and the young man said, "Miss Zhang, look at this ring. He said he wanted to buy a pair with this one." ..."

The older woman looked at it, then looked up at Zhong Ming: "Is it exactly the same as this one?"

"I don't know, it should be, anyway, it's a couple."

The waitress came to the back of the counter, took out a small book, flipped through it, then smiled and said, "Mr. Ling bought it, right?"

Zhong Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became alert.

He quickly said: "Yes, I am his subordinate, he asked me to come and help him get..."

"Strange, at that time Mr. Ling said that he wanted his sweetheart to come and buy the other one. Why did he send someone to buy it after a few days?"

Zhong Ming smiled embarrassingly, and said, "I don't know about that either, I just follow orders."

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."

The waiter went back to the room, and after a while, he came out with a box, which was exactly the same as his ring, and Zhong Ming held it in his hand. The moment the box was opened, his heart suddenly fluttered a little. It was soft and warm, as if there was a warm current flowing straight into his body.He raised his head and asked, "How much is this?"

"Keep up with the price of one coin, one thousand and one."

"One thousand and one?" What kind of ring is so expensive, and there is no carving or special craftsmanship. It is just an ordinary ring. Even if it is pure gold, it shouldn't be so expensive, right?

Unexpectedly, the waiter thought his tone was too cheap, so he explained: "This is a ring with a normal price. I also recommended a better one to Mr. Ling, but he didn't like it, saying that it is for future marriage. It’s time to pick a better one. A thousand and one is a good sign, which means choosing one in a thousand.”

The classmates in Zhong Ming’s class, some of them fell in love early, and it was popular to give rings, but the price was not so high. He remembered that when he was in high school, a boy in their dormitory bought a ring for his girlfriend, and it only cost a dozen dollars. Later, when he went to university, his class also gave rings, which was two or three hundred, so he always thought that this simple men's ring was not very expensive.One thousand and one, enough for his school food expenses for two months.

"Actually, we gave a discount. Mr. Ling's is a few grams heavier than the one in your hand. Our shop is all custom-made, and the size is also made according to Mr. Ling's size, because Mr. Ling is the one in our shop. I am a regular customer, so we gave a discount, otherwise the two rings would cost more than 800."

Zhong Ming frowned: "Old customer?"

His heart sank, and he put the ring in the box: "He used to come here often?"

"Mr. Ling is our VIP user."

Zhong Ming immediately withdrew his hand, his face was not very good-looking.The waiter gave him a curious look, and Zhong Ming said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my wallet, and I'll buy it next time."

After Zhong Ming finished speaking, he turned his head and left. The two waiters looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

When Zhong Ming returned home, he put the ring that Ling Zhigang had given him on the table in the living room. on the table.

However, he had just left the house and hadn't arrived at the school when his cell phone rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly picked it up.Sure enough, just as he imagined, it was someone from the production team who called and asked him to sign the contract.

Zhong Ming immediately went to the film crew by car, and signed the contract without even thinking about it.The assistant director said: "After signing the contract, you have an obligation. You have to strictly follow the contract, otherwise you have to bear the losses and consequences alone."

Zhong Ming nodded, and the assistant director said: "Of course, we still adhere to the principle of happy cooperation. If there is anything going on in the future, we should communicate with the staff as much as possible, and cooperate as happily as possible. Come, sign this too."

As the assistant director spoke, he handed him another contract. Zhong Ming glanced at him and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a confidentiality agreement. We hope that you will keep your participation in "1917" strictly confidential until the official news is released."

This Zhong Ming had already heard from Shen Jun that all the actors who participated in this play had signed this non-disclosure agreement.He picked up the pen and was about to sign, but the assistant director stopped him with a smile and said, "You read it before signing."

"No, I trust you."

"It's better to sign after reading it. This is not a matter of trust or distrust. When you enter this circle in the future, you will often sign contracts. You have to remember that you will be responsible for anything that needs to be signed. Yes, so you must be careful and serious, and sign after reading word by word. Otherwise, if something happens, you will not be able to deal with each other. This is the rule of the industry, and you have to learn to adapt. Matters about the law are not human relations or Trust is enough."

Zhong Ming smiled and said, "I need to learn too much, and I don't understand many things."

"Then why didn't you find an agent?"

"Agent?" Zhong Ming said, "I...I don't need it, and I'm not a big star..."

"This is actually indispensable. It will save a lot of trouble if you have a professional to help you. In this way, I will give you a business card, and you go to the person on the business card. He is an old acquaintance, and he is in charge of signing newcomers. , you go to consult him and learn more about the entertainment industry, so as not to make mistakes in time."

Zhong Ming took the business card, just as Director Sun came in from the outside, he quickly stood up and said hello, "Hello, Director Sun."

"To sign a contract?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "I just signed it."

"Have you read it all? Why didn't you ask your parents to come with you?"

"I'm an adult and can make my own decisions."

"It's better to communicate with parents as much as possible."

Zhong Ming nodded. Director Sun seemed very busy, and after a few words with him, he called the assistant director out, as if discussing the shooting location.Zhong Ming came out with his contract, looked at the business card given to him by the assistant director, and made a phone call according to the number on the business card.

Following the instructions of the other party on the phone, he came to the place where the other party asked him to go.The person who received him was a man in his thirties with a fair appearance. He looked like the kind who would sit in an office all day long and never go out. He looked at this white man, but his mouth was full of eloquence, and he asked, "What do you want to consult?" question?"

Zhong Ming said: "I just want to know about the signing of artists."

"Then have you signed with the company?"

Zhong Ming shook his head: "Not yet, I just want to ask in advance."

"Then you can consider signing with our company. In this way, let me introduce you to the general situation of our company.

With the prosperity of the performing arts market, all kinds of entertainment star agencies have sprung up like mushrooms. How to choose a signing company and what kind of contract to sign have become the problems that plague countless boys and girls who are pursuing acting careers. Those who lose money is a small matter, but delaying youth is a major matter.This entertainment industry is a place where youth eats.As the only professional entertainment broker training institution in the industry, our company has the unshirkable responsibility to regulate the entertainment brokerage market, and has also trained a large number of excellent brokers and assistants. If you need a broker or assistant, you can contact us at any time. Contact the company, and we will equip you with a corresponding broker according to your individual needs and conditions. "

Zhong Ming nodded embarrassingly. He felt that the person in front of him was a bit unreliable, because at the beginning of the introduction, his eyes were fixed on a piece of paper in front of him, as if he was reading the content on it to him. Not introducing in your own words.

The man may have realized his suspicion, and said with a smile: "This is the profile of our company, you can take a look."

Zhong Ming took it over and took a look, but the person continued to say: "It is actually not easy to choose a suitable and capable agent. Many people do not understand the responsibilities and scope of work of an agent without knowing it. There are even some misunderstandings. The agent is the partner of the artist, not the boss. Whether it is an actor, singer, or model, it is a cooperative relationship with an agency or agent, not an employment relationship. The contract signed is a cooperation or It is a contract of service nature, not a labor contract. If a brokerage company says to recruit artists, either the words are not professional enough, or the company really hires you. There are companies that recruit artists, for example Bars recruit singers, for example, theater troupes recruit actors, which are two different concepts from brokerage companies. In terms of romance, they are two lifestyles. The ultimate goal of the former is often "national first-class actor", while the ultimate goal of the latter is "national first-class actor". "Star", of course, many old artists are both "national first-class actors" and sometimes "stars".

Choosing a brokerage company is like picking a boyfriend, Benma Film and Television, Huayi Brothers, Orange Sky Entertainment, Taihe Wheatfield, New Silk Road, Rongxinda, Concept 98, Xinxiu Media, Yuhua Kaida, Oriental Bentley, Enlight Media, Polybo Na and other brokerage companies, each has its own characteristics, and this should also be taken into consideration. The actors under Huayi are good, Taihe Maitian is mainly singers, New Silk Road is the boss of the model industry, and the hosts of Guangguang Media are all famous. very famous.Matador is not about who wants to be signed by any company, and that company will sign you. For example, Huayi Brothers mainly signs first-line stars. If the artist is well-known in the industry, he can consider working with Huayi’s team. Concept 98 prefers to sign award-winning models. If they have not won awards, they may not even have an interview opportunity. There are also many brokerage companies that focus on newcomers, such as Xinxiu Media, but newcomers often have low recognition and reputation, so I feel It is not as "star-bright" as the previous companies.

While reading the introduction on the paper, Zhong Ming listened to the man talking to him, nodding his head from time to time, but he didn't really listen to much, he paid more attention to the words on paper that his eyes saw.The man continued: "Our company has just grown up in the past two years, but we have cooperated with Director Sun several times. Compared with Benma Film and Television, our company must be incomparable. To tell the truth , we can't make a swollen face to make a fat man, but our company's development trend is very good, and it has been the No.1 company with the fastest rise in the past few years. And compared with those rookie companies, our company's recognition and reputation On the other hand, it has more advantages and is more suitable for the development of newcomers. How about it, do you think about it?"
