After the breakup, I became a popular superstar in the entertainment industry

Chapter 215 Meet Joey

Joey is a man in his 40s.

His appearance is full of affinity. Just after the meeting, a look of fatigue appeared on his face, but when he saw them, the look of fatigue disappeared immediately, and he greeted them warmly.

"Hey, Zuo, didn't you sleep well last night? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so serious?"

Before Zuomeng could answer, Joey's gaze immediately shifted to Liu Jianglin.

The moment his gaze fell on Liu Jianglin's face, his eyes lit up.

"Wow, you must be Miss Liu." Joy praised, "You are more beautiful than what I saw in the video."

Liu Jianglin smiled and said, "Thank you."

Joey patted Zuomeng on the shoulder and said, "Come to my office."

Liu Jianglin followed behind them and entered Joey's office.

Joey's office is about [-] square meters in size, with a desk inside.

The table was not tidy and there was a lot of materials piled high on it.

There is a couch under the window that can accommodate about three people sitting at the same time.

The sofa looks like it has seen some years, it is a leather sofa with obvious signs of wear and tear.

Joey took out a wine bottle and three wine glasses from the cabinet - Liu Jianglin actually wanted to ask a question when he saw this scene.

Why do these Americans subconsciously bring out wine when entertaining people who enter their offices?

Liu Jianglin has encountered such a situation several times in the past few days.

What an alcoholic bunch.

Liu Jianglin complained in his heart.

However, she did not refuse.

The main reason is that she can drink, and drinking such a small amount is nothing to her. It will neither get on her head nor make her dizzy and say something she shouldn't say.

With the mentality of "do as the Romans do", she took the wine glass that Joey handed over.

Zuo Meng turned his head and asked her softly, "Can you drink? Don't force it."

Zuomeng's inquiry revealed a little thoughtfulness and concern.

Liu Jianglin smiled at him, indicating that he was OK.

Joey took the initiative to mention the episode that he was advancing and was about to start next month.

"This drama has already signed a contract with BLD TV station, and it is going to be broadcast in December this year." Joey said, "This drama will be filmed for about a month, and the Left League recommended you to me because there is a The Chinese role, she is the girlfriend of the heroine Jenny, is an important role, and because of this, if we finally sign the contract, you need to sign with us for three seasons of the show."

"Three seasons?" Liu Jianglin was surprised, "Will this show be filmed for three seasons?"

"It depends on how well the first season plays out."

Zuo Meng explained to Liu Jianglin, saying: "Unless this show is a limited series from the beginning, then there will only be one season, but if not, the producer will usually sign a performance agreement with the actors for several seasons. This is to keep the same cast as possible if a sequel is to be developed."

Liu Jianglin said: "I know that American dramas often shoot many seasons at one go, which is very different from domestic ones, and I am not used to it."

"Don't worry, even if you really have to play three seasons in one go, it won't take you a long time. This is a short episode, as you have heard, this drama will only be filmed for about a month." Zuomeng said, "It The number of episodes should be about ten episodes, which is very short.”

Liu Jianglin was very surprised.

"Wow."

Joey listened to the two of them chattering in Chinese that he could not understand for a long time, and asked, "What are you two talking about? I can't understand a word."

Zuo Meng said: "Joy, I was explaining to her just now why I signed a three-season performance agreement in one go."

"OK, Ms. Liu, I heard that you are a very popular star in China. I wonder if your agent is here? Who should I talk to about your salary?" Joey asked directly.

Liu Jianglin said: "I came to the United States alone, and I haven't signed a brokerage agreement with other companies. You can talk to me directly."

Upon hearing this, Joey asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to find an agent here? You can't do it alone."

Liu Jianglin was about to explain, Zuomeng signaled him to speak.

Liu Jianglin shut up.

Zuomeng said to Joey: "As for her agent, I will contact her in the next few days. We will talk about the salary in two days. But, do you mean that you are going to use her?"

Joey nodded in agreement very readily, and said, "Why not? Ms. Liu is very experienced in acting, she is very beautiful, and her English is so fluent. I can't find a reason not to use her."

The leftist laughed.

Liu Jianglin was pleasantly surprised when he heard that he had been hired.

Getting a good result so quickly?
It seems that the recommendation of the Left League is still very useful.

Joey said: "You give me a contact number, and I will get someone to contact you and send you the script."

"Okay." Liu Jianglin nodded happily, "Thank you, Joey, I will cherish this opportunity and try my best to play this role well."

Joey laughed.

……

Leaving Joey's office, Liu Jianglin immediately screamed in a low voice.

"It's going too well!" Liu Jianglin said pleasantly.

Zuo Meng nodded and said, "You have obvious advantages. As long as you find the right direction, it is not difficult for you to win a role."

Liu Jianglin said: "I have been meeting with different producers and directors these days, but very few people will directly give me the role."

Zuomeng: "Because the project they are preparing may not have a character suitable for you. I just know that the project in Joey's hands has a Chinese character."

Liu Jianglin: "Yes."

"You are not well-known in the United States now, and you don't have a professional agent to help you handle these jobs, so if everyone has a suitable role in their hands, they will not think of you, and they don't know the existence of you. You need it most now. What I did, the first thing is to register the Actors Union, and the second thing is to find an experienced and well-connected agent to help you send your information to various casting companies. Generally, if you want to find an actor, you will Go to the casting company to ask for information."

Liu Jianglin nodded.

"As for the agent, I will recommend a few people to you, and you can talk to them yourself." Zuomeng said, "The compatibility between the artist and the agent determines your future career. You need to find someone who really appreciates you." This is very important. The agent thinks you are good and believes that you can be popular, so he will really do his best. Otherwise, for him, you are just a job. It depends on you to communicate with them face to face. .”

Liu Jianglin nodded again.

"Okay, thank you Brother Zuo."

"Don't be so polite between us. If you didn't encounter that incident, with your current domestic fame, you don't need to go to Hollywood to develop." Zuomeng said, "But since we are here, we are all Chinese. We should help each other as well.”
