Chapter 17 The Broker

Although Bai Huaijin didn't know exactly how favorable the terms of the contract that Qiu Yun gave later, he knew that the other party would not deceive him.But the agent, Jiugao, did not agree to let Qiu Yun take over.

After all, the company just stated a few years ago that Qiu Yun would not be bothered to bring in newcomers. Now that he is suddenly asked to take over Bai Huaijin, there will be many problems to face.

You must know that there are no lack of newcomers with backgrounds and backgrounds in the company. Most of these people are staring at the signboard of the top manager.They didn't get Qiu Yun's care, so why should a newcomer who has nothing?

A week after Qiu Yun flew back to the company with his newly signed contract, Bai Huaijin met his agent.

A mature lady who was standing beside Huo Zhang and talking with a smile on her face saw Bai Huaijin who appeared at the door of the dressing room and was about to put on makeup, turned around, walked up to her, and showed a very professional smile: "Hello, I It's Mei Xue, your manager."

Mei Xue has a good figure and looks much younger than her actual age. She is immersed in the entertainment industry and always dresses on par with artists.She has long hair and big waves, and she seems more like an artist than a manager.

Before today, Bai Huaijin had never seen Mei Xue.He seldom pays attention to things in the entertainment industry, so although deep down he feels a little regretful that Jiugao did not agree to let Qiu Yun be his manager, he quickly accepts the fact that his manager is a strong woman.

There's nothing wrong with strong women either.At least Mei Xue has a good reputation in the industry.

Mei Xue and Qiu Yun are different.Qiu Yun is a well-known trump card manager, this trump card not only refers to Jiugao's internal, but also a well-known name in the entire entertainment circle.As for Mei Xue, she has brought many artists. She has brought almost any type of artist in film, television, song and Sanqi.As long as she gets her hands on her, even if she can't become popular, she can still be familiar to everyone.

Originally, Mei Xue had no intention of accepting this newcomer.But looking at it now, it seems a bit interesting.

Mei Xue had a lot of artists recently, and judging from the situation, she shouldn't take on any more artists, but it just so happened that someone's contract expired, and Pilot gave him more favorable conditions, which made this person leave without hesitation from his old club and go to The new owner.So, Jiu Gao told her that when she was asked to take over the new artist, Mei Xue agreed to go and have a look first.

"Sit down and put on makeup first." Mei Xue shifted her eyes to the empty seat, Bai Huaijin nodded slightly, walked to the empty seat in the corner without hesitation and sat down.

He doesn't have many roles in the first place, according to the rhythm, after another half a month of filming, his scenes can almost be completed.Although the position in the dressing room does not depend on who is sitting where, but after this period of time, it is more or less obvious who is used to it.He didn't want to cause some unpleasant things when it was over, so it was better to use his corner position as usual.

Mei Xue watched him go to the corner, and raised her eyebrows slightly.It seems quite sensible.

Makeup artist Xiaoyu is already Bai Huaijin's old partner.When putting on makeup for him this time, I couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Mei Xue.She is different from Bai Huaijin. She has met some of the more famous agents in the circle.

"Your external conditions are very good." Mei Xue didn't seem to care about Xiaoyu's gaze from time to time, and looked at Bai Huaijin in the mirror, "But in this circle, the most important thing is to grow well. And, even if you are long Needless to say, using a knife in the face is also an opportunity."

If it weren't for the fact that his face didn't seem to have any major problems, Bai Huaijin would almost suspect what Mei Xue meant by saying this, hoping that he could get rid of his entire face.

"I watched the video of you on the crew of "End of Spring", and the still photos of "Stealing Heart". Generally speaking, your appearance and acting skills are not bad. Next, do you have any plans for yourself? ?”

Usually managers don't want their artists to be too assertive.For a manipulative agent, an artist with his own mind means that it is not easy to obey.

Bai Huaijin looked at Mei Xue through the mirror.He can almost judge that the manager Jiugao arranged for him is not only strong, but also very capable.

"I've just entered this industry, and I still need to arrange a lot of things, Sister Mei."

Mei Xue nodded in satisfaction, and reported a series of numbers to him: "This is my mobile phone number, if you have any questions, please call this number to contact me."

Bai Huaijin bent her lips and took out her phone to store the number.Mei Xue's voice behind him continued: "You are not the only artist under my command, so I don't have so much time to follow you like Qiu Yun followed Huo Zhang. "Stealing Heart" is the first TV series you accept, and I will arrange for you later. It will be sent to your mailbox. Well, by the way, send me your regular mailbox number, and your Weibo account should also be handed over for unified management."

Bai Huaijin was a little hesitant to submit a Weibo account.His account is for private use, and has never been verified. If it is handed over to Mei Xue, it means that the free use of that account will be restricted in the future.This feeling...is bad.

"Of course, if you don't want to hand over your Weibo account, you can take it yourself." Seemingly seeing Bai Huaijin's hesitation, Mei Xue added, "The main reason for asking for your Weibo account is for unified management. I think you should know better than anyone else the mistakes Guo Lipeng and Hua Xiangshen made in Time Pilot."

It is indeed clear.Bai Huaijin raised her eyebrows.But he still doesn't plan to hand over his Weibo account.That's his personal space.

"Okay, you keep Weibo. But you have to tell me about work-related matters before posting."

This is already a concession.Bai Huaijin knew that he had just signed a contract and had an agent. If he made any more demands, his agent might be angry at the next step.

Mei Xue's cell phone rang in time.Seeing her take a step back to answer the phone, makeup artist Xiao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Sister Mei is very good in the industry, but she also has a lot of resources. You don't know if it's good or bad if you follow her."

Bai Huaijin smiled noncommittally.

Xiaoyu added: "Sister Mei's most popular artist right now should be Cheng Jiming. Listen, it sounds like a call from him."

"What did you say?"

"Reduce the role? No, Cheng Jiming has been aggrieved by being the second male lead for you this time, and you are still trying to reduce the role? Just to promote the male lead?"

"No, absolutely not! Cheng Jiming's script was chosen by me personally. The role of the male lead plays a very important role in the full text. How can you cut his role just because you want to promote the male lead? Lose!"

The people in the dressing room are all human beings. Although Mei Xue's voice has been suppressed, her emotional fluctuations still allow people to find out that something is wrong on the other end of the phone.Everyone subconsciously held their breath.

"Okay, I'll talk about the specific situation when I get there. We can discuss the role of the show, and you can't just trample on us just because you want to flatter people."

When Mei Xue finished her last sentence, her attitude was obviously not as strong as before.

Bai Huaijin lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Okay, I will email you the itinerary in a few days, and I will contact you later. I'm leaving first."

"Miss Mei."

As soon as Mei Xue turned around, she heard Bai Huaijin's voice: "Can I find an assistant?"

Mei Xue turned her head, looked at Bai Huaijin, and pondered, "Are there any suitable candidates around? It's best to find someone close to you. After you've selected someone, send me your resume and let me have a look."

Mei Xue walked quickly, and finally took away the low air pressure in the dressing room.

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and put on makeup faster: "Sure enough, there is something wrong with Cheng Jiming. Emma, ​​hurry up, I'm so scared that my movements are slow, if you don't hurry up, Director Liu will go crazy gone."

*****

Liu Yuan was indeed about to lose his temper.

In addition to trying on makeup, this is the first time to put on makeup and it takes so much time.Fortunately, although the makeup was a bit slow, the acting was not delayed at all.

After a perfect scene, Bai Huaijin had time to rest, found a place to rest, and just sat down on her buttocks, when a person suddenly sat down on the empty seat next to her.

"Cheng Jiming was excavated by Jiu Gao from another company a few years ago, and has been in Mei Xue's hands since then. He is currently the most popular artist in her hands, and his ranking in the company is also very high."

Huo Zhang was sitting beside him, his voice was as low as ever.

Cheng Jiming's achievements in the past two years are obvious to the insiders.A total of four TV series and two movies were filmed in two years, three of which were leading actors, and the remaining one was a guest appearance in friendship, but it had a lot of roles.

It's not that Mei Xue is a bad manager, it's just that Jiu Gao asked her to take over Bai Huaijin, which was somewhat unexpected.

When Mei Xue was on the phone in the dressing room, Huo Zhang had just left, but he soon heard about what happened inside.

Bai Huaijin smiled.

Although Huo Zhang's words are clear from beginning to end, the meaning in the subtext is already obvious.If it were someone else, the manager would have been worrying about others in front of him, and he probably would feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.But Bai Huaijin took it lightly.Since Cheng Jiming is Mei Xue's general, he must attach the most importance to his arrangements, which is reasonable.

"I see, Brother Huo." He said, bowed his head and sent a text message.

Huo Zhang glanced at him: "Before Mei Xue left, did you arrange an assistant for you?"

"Sister Mei told me that when I find an assistant, I can just send her the assistant's resume for review."

It was not the first time Huo Zhang heard this.The managers in the company are not only Qiu Yun and Mei Xue, but also not everyone of the artists signed by the company can get good resources, and they are taken care of properly by the managers.Huo Zhang has heard this many times in the company, most of which he said to some newcomers whose development prospects are not clear.

Obviously, even though Mei Xue watched Bai Huaijin's previous videos and praised her, she still didn't take this newcomer with no background seriously.

Is it because of Cheng Zhiming that he has such an attitude?

Huo Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Assistants are also very important to an artist, if you don't have a suitable candidate by your side..."

Before Huo Zhang finished speaking, Bai Huaijin suddenly smiled, grabbed the phone and shook it: "Yes."

He glanced at Xiao Zhou, who was conscientiously delivering water to Huo Zhang, and suddenly asked in a questioning tone: "Does the assistant have to be of the same sex?"

Unreasonable, Huo Zhang snorted: "You found a female assistant?"

Bai Huaijin smiled: "I'm an old colleague, and I have some relatives at home, so I know a little bit about it." He paused, seeing Huo Zhang looking at him expressionlessly, and hurriedly said, "I can do it myself for the things in my life. , there is no need to find any assistant, she is only responsible for work matters. In this case, it should be no problem to find a female assistant, right?"

The gender of the assistant is not a problem at all.When you become an artist, no one cares whether the person standing next to you is a man or a woman when you are not popular.Only when it becomes popular and has commercial value, will it be possible to make a fuss when seeing the opposite sex get together.

Moreover, Bai Huaijin in front of him, with his still young face, showed no hesitation or timidity, and he had no intention of changing his mind after hearing a negative answer.

Since they are relatives, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Huo Zhang stared at each other and nodded: "It's okay."

After getting the answer she wanted, Bai Huaijin lowered her head and glanced at her phone.The text message sent back by the other party was almost swiped by exclamation marks.
