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

Chapter 225 Broker's Knowledge
How to choose an agent is really a science.

Liu Jianglin summed up his needs.

One, she can only sign a short-term contract, preferably once a year or once every two years. It is impossible for her to stay in Hollywood for too long. She has no intention of making Hollywood her main business.

Second, she can give up a little more in terms of share, but the final decision on whether to accept all the work is in her own hands.

Third, acting is mainly based on movies or limited series.

Liu Jianglin didn't want to be tied down to a drama for too long.

She knows that many American dramas have eight or ten seasons as soon as they are filmed, which means that eight or ten years of life have to be devoted to one drama.

Liu Jianglin didn't want to do this.

List out these conditions, and then look at the information of the agents, it will be easier to choose.

An agent who has a strong desire to control actors is definitely not selected.

Liu Jianglin only read the materials for about 10 minutes.

During this period, Zuomeng sat at his desk and worked.

Liu Jianglin finally delineated three people.

After Zuo Meng saw her final choice, he nodded and said, "Among these three people, who do you prefer the most?"

"Of course it's Michelle Blanchett, but she already has many well-known actors under her command. If I sign under her, she may not have so much energy to take care of me."

"You don't have to worry about this. A big-name agent like her has a team working for her. The agents in Hollywood are different from those in China. Many domestic agents are nanny-style. It’s small, it takes care of everything, but it’s different here, the agent is basically in charge of your work, other than that, it’s not within their scope of work, especially when you’re on set, basically No agent will accompany you the whole time, they usually have a lot of artists under their hands, and it is impossible to follow you alone."

Liu Jianglin nodded.

"I already know something about it, Brother Zuo."

"In fact, I am more inclined to Michelle Blanchett. She has rich experience and resources. The most important thing is that she does not have any Asian actors. This is a blank for her. This also means that if you sign to her, there is basically no one who will compete with you, and all resources suitable for Asians will flow to you alone."

The Zuomeng's analysis is exactly what Liu Jianglin likes.

In fact, the agent named Steed Sanchez is also very good, and there is a precedent for successfully launching Asian actors, but also because of this, he has several Asian actors in his hands, and there are three actresses alone. , Liu Jianglin didn't want to eat a piece of cake with them, the competition was too great, a waste of time and energy.

Liu Jianglin said: "Then I took the initiative to contact Michelle Blanchett, or?"

Zuo Meng said, "Let me make an appointment for you first, and then you can go to see her by yourself."

Liu Jianglin nodded.

"it is good."

Zuomeng said: "However, she is not in Los Angeles this week and will come back next Monday. You will not be able to see her until next Monday at the earliest."

Liu Jianglin said, "Where is she now? I can go and see her."

Zuo Meng was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "You don't have to be so anxious."

Liu Jianglin shook his head and said, "I didn't sign a contract with Joey, and I'm always worried that the role will be taken away. I read the script yesterday, and it's a very good role. I like it very much. When people know the news and see the script, they will definitely come to grab it."

Zuomeng said: "It's not unreasonable for you to worry. Let's do it. I'll contact Michelle later."

"Thank you Brother Zuo."

At noon, Liu Jianglin invited Zuo Meng to dinner.

At the dinner table, Zuo Meng asked Liu Jianglin: "Jiang Lin, have you thought about how high you want to develop in Hollywood?"

Liu Jianglin said: "I have thought about it, but I am not very specific. I know that this is not the home of Asian actors, and I also know that in fact, I can't get a particularly good opportunity here. I went to China, but I can't stop these few years. I think, if I can act in a few plays here, there will be many audiences in China who can see them. Maybe as time goes by, and these few plays , domestic audiences can slowly accept me again.”

Left League: "I understand your thoughts, but you should stop telling others about these things, especially not talking to people in Hollywood."

"Ah."

"Most people in Hollywood have a kind of arrogance, including me. We all firmly believe that the best creators are here, and only here can we continuously create the best works." Left Meng said, "Joy is willing to give you this role because you are a leader among young Chinese actresses, and he thinks you can play this role well and be popular, but if he knows your The mind still wants to go back to China to film, he may not be willing to give you this opportunity."

Liu Jianglin said: "I'm not saying that I will give up everything here when I go back to China for filming. I just don't plan to stay here in the future. In fact, even if I develop in China, if there is a good opportunity here, I will I will definitely accept it. But it is false to say so much now, who knows if I can regain the love of the audience here."

Zuomeng said: "I have a hunch that they will like you very much."

"Ok?"

"The first time I saw you, I thought you were very suitable for acting in Hollywood." Zuomeng said, "You are good at English and good in appearance, the key is your temperament. I don't know if anyone has talked to you As I said before, you have the sophistication of a white-collar elite, but also a capable sex appeal. With my experience and vision as a producer for so long, European and American people especially like women like you."

Liu Jianglin was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Really? That's how it is." She laughed, "I hope they can really like them."

In the afternoon, Michelle Blanchett had a video call with Liu Jianglin.

The two exchanged and discussed some issues.

Liu Jianglin also expressed his appeal.

Both of them are very straightforward, without detours, and even a little bit of bargaining later.

Liu Jianglin said that she wanted to sign her once a year, but Michelle Blanchett directly said that if this was the case, no agent in the United States would sign her.

The last two people reached a consensus and signed for three years.

At the same time, Michelle Blanchett also made it very clear that she is only responsible for Liu Jianglin's affairs in Europe and the United States, and she does not care about the affairs in Asia. Of course, if there is any work there, she will No commission either.

These details of the communication are very trivial, and they are discussed one by one, as if they are doing business.
