In the beginning, I was introduced by my sister to be an agent

"is it?"

The expression on Mingyuan's face didn't look very surprised, it was obvious that he had expected it.

"Take a look." Ju Guangguang said and handed the contract draft sent by TVN to Mingyuan in front of him.

The man took it and flipped through it. He just set the standards for ratings, and then adopted a ladder system to pay Mingyuan's remuneration. No wonder Li Zhouxia didn't even need to interview Pei Zhuhyun.

On the surface, he said he was confident, but in fact, he had already thought of a solution.

Once this contract is signed, if the TV series fails, not only Mingyuan, but also Keyeast will have to bear the losses.

"It's quite a beautiful thought."

Mingyuan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, thought for a while, and then said with a smile.

Ju Guangwang asked: "Brother Yuan, what do you think?"

"You can sign, but the conditions need to be changed." Mingyuan showed Gu Guangguang the contract terms he had circled just now: "The ratio here needs to be increased, and we at Keyeast need to be the co-producer."

"Want to increase the size?"

Gu Guangwang frowned. In his opinion, some of the conditions in this contract were already excessive. He didn't expect Mingyuan to play bigger.

"How about it, you don't have confidence in me?" Mingyuan asked.

"Well, Brother Yuan, do you still remember that time we had a fight in college?"

Gu Guangwang did not answer the question directly, but asked a question.

"Which time did you say?"

"It was the time when I was dating someone's girlfriend, but the other party called five or six people to surround us and beat us."

"You still have the nerve to say that."

"I mainly wanted to express that you didn't run away directly at that time, so of course I chose to support you."

Mingyuan raised his hand and fist-bumped with Ju Guangwang. Without this guy, he would really be unable to do many things. Not to mention anything else, he just said that it was very troublesome to check the IP address of the poster last time.

The man thought for a while and then continued: "Optics, this crew still needs you to be the producer. I don't trust it if it is left in the hands of others."

Since he wants absolute control over the crew, of course he must place people he trusts in key positions.

"Don't worry, I have experience."

After all, Kingdom is already the TV series with the highest investment in a single episode, so it would be childish for Gu Guangwang to turn around and worry about other things.

"That's good. I'll trouble you more then."

"Brother Yuan, if anything goes wrong, I will have a share of Keyeast's losses, so I will naturally contribute." Gu Guangguang spread his hands and said.

"Okay, then this matter is settled. You can find someone to modify the contract and send it over to see if TVN agrees."

"OK, no problem."

Mingyuan had not dealt with this matter well. He originally planned to go home first, but as soon as he left the company, he saw a figure he had seen before.

"Xu Yunzhenxi, right, are you here to see me?" The man first went over to say hello.

The last time he started school in Shen Liuzhen, he left a business card for the kid, hoping to recruit Xu Yunzhen to his company as a trainee. After all, this would be an opportunity to intercept Hu Candai (the disbanded izone) in the future. .

With Xu Yunzhen, can Lesserafim be far behind?

"Oh, Ming..."

The expression on Xu Yunzhen's face was very interesting at this time, as if he didn't expect to meet Mingyuan here.

"If you don't mind, you can call me oppa or my name," Mingyuan said nonchalantly. He had never been very fond of Korean names.

"Then I'll call you oppa."

Xu Yunzhen also breathed a sigh of relief.

The last time she was in school, she felt that Mingyuan's style of doing things suited her very well, so she finally came to the company on the business card after much thought.

However, to the girl's surprise, she met Mingyuan while she was still hesitating.

"Xi Yunzhen, if you are here to see me, why don't we find a cooler place to talk?" Mingyuan pointed to the cafe downstairs of the company and said with a smile.

Keyeast’s employees often order coffee here, and it tastes pretty good.

Xu Yunzhen was not polite. American women are indeed different: "Thank you Oppa."

The two found a place to sit down in the cafe, each ordered a cup of coffee, and then sat facing each other. No one spoke first.

"Yunzhenxi..."

"Oppa, you'd better call me by my name. Let's not use honorifics." Xu Yunzhen took a sip of coffee, showed an expression on her face that was difficult to describe in words, and then waved her hands and said.

Mingyuan took a sip of coffee. He thought it tasted very good: "So Yunzhen, you came to me because you want to become a trainee of Keyeast?"

"Oppa, actually I want to ask you, why do you think so favorably of me?"

Xu Yunzhen does not feel that she has any advantages. Although she participated in produce48, she only gained notoriety. Some of her normal actions were edited and turned into exclusion and bullying. There is really no reason to explain.

Frankly speaking, before meeting Mingyuan, the girl was already disillusioned with the internship life and planned to return to the United States to study in college after her senior year of high school.

But Mingyuan appeared, and his words ignited Xu Yunzhen's desire for the stage.

She is not reconciled.

So, the girl came downstairs at Keyeast.

"Because I think you are very different. In the words of PD Park Zhenying, you are a star." Mingyuan looked very much like a magician at this time, coaxing an ignorant little girl.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise there were so many people on the first day of school, why would I only give you my business card." The man slowly stirred the coffee in the cup: "This is fate.

I am a person who quite believes in fate. "

Mingyuan feels that if he works in sales one day, his performance will be quite good. After all, it all depends on his words.

Minazaki Saka, Zhou Tzuyu, Mi Cai, Han Suxi: certified, his verbal skills are indeed very powerful.

Xu Yunzhen looked at Mingyuan in front of her in confusion. If she hadn't seen this guy's photo in the news, she would have almost thought she had met a liar.

"Then what are the conditions if I choose to sign a contract with your company?" Xu Yunzhen asked cautiously.

Although it is already 2019, there are still a lot of messy contracts in major entertainment companies, and internal chaos is endless. If not, some slave contracts may be created.

Therefore, it is better to ask clearly beforehand.

"It's the same as other companies, nothing special." Mingyuan really hasn't thought about this problem. After all, Keyeast doesn't have a trainee department at all now: "But if there are resources, they will be given to you first."

"so good?"

"Because you are the only trainee in our company currently."

Mingyuan answered very frankly, not afraid of scaring Xu Yunzhen away.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. If you want to be in the entertainment industry, it is still very important to have a boss with his own traffic. Unless you are from one of the few big companies, you have the right to look down on him.

What's more, what if you join a big company, the competition there is extremely fierce, and Xu Yunzhen herself came from SM.

She is good friends with Ning Yizhuo and Jin Dongtong.

"Then if I sign, will I have a chance to debut?" Xu Yunzhen is very concerned about this point. It doesn't matter if the grassroots team is there, a seedling in ten thousand acres of wasteland is worth a gamble.

"Yes, I signed up as a trainee just to be part of a girl group. You can rest assured about this."

Mingyuan nodded and gave Xu Yunzhen an affirmative look. He felt that he had no reason not to take a part in the prosperous era of the Five Generations girl group. At least one-fifth of Lesserafim was already close at hand, which was a big moneymaker.

"But..." Xu Yunzhen felt that the more he asked, the more questions he had: "Your company only has one trainee now."

"Yunzhen, what do you think of iZone?" Mingyuan suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"It's very hot."

Xu Yunzhen said listlessly.

She was eliminated from that show, so she naturally knows how popular Izone is now, with sales even setting a new high for a girl group based on Twice.

"But this group is limited. After those members disband, what do you think will happen?"

Xu Yunzhen is a very smart girl. Mingyuan gently nudged her, and she seemed to suddenly understand something: "You mean, you will look for other members from the disbanded izone?"

"I don't rule out this possibility, but during this period, I will also look for and recruit other trainees."

Mingyuan thought for a while and said.

While chatting with Xu Yunzhen, he was also clearing up some preliminary ideas in his mind about Keyeast's future trainee system. This is a complete system.

If you attack rashly, you will only gain failure in the end.

Xu Yunzhen nodded: "Oh, so that's it."

"Yunzhen, if you sign with our company, I will temporarily take you to JYP to practice." Mingyuan explained to the girl: "You know, I also have a position in JYP."

"That's it..."

Xu Yunzhen pondered for a moment, and she actually felt that this condition seemed pretty good.

"If you want to practice in SM, then I also have connections." We don't have much else, we just know a lot of people.

The reason why Mingyuan made this suggestion was because Xu Yunzhen had experience practicing in SM. It would take some time for Keyeast to have a similar training environment.

Well... unless the man is willing to dedicate the luxurious practice room prepared in advance for itzy.

However, it was exclusive. Mingyuan even spray-painted vertical paintings of the five itzy girls on the background wall. It would be too shameful to let others in.

Xu Yunzhen believed 70% to 80% of it when she heard it, although she still felt that Keyeast's content about trainees was a complete mess.

However, American women are usually more courageous: "Oppa, if I sign the contract, can I still go to college?"

"I have no right to stop a person from pursuing knowledge, but if it conflicts with his debut..."

"Then I will definitely focus on debuting!"

Xu Yunzhen quickly raised her hands and swore, her serious look looked very interesting.

"Okay, then ask your guardian to come to the company when you have time. Let's talk in detail and sign the contract if possible." Mingyuan thought for a while and said.

The situation of Xu Yunzhen and Han Suxi is different.

When the man met Han Suxi, the girl was already twenty-four years old, an adult, and the only person who could be considered a relative was her grandmother.

Xu Yunzhen is not yet 18 years old now, and the little guy's birthday is in October.

Xu Yunzhen nodded heavily: "Yes, I know."

"Do you think I'm not a bad person now?"

"hey-hey."

The girl smiled shyly. After all, the man sitting in front of her would most likely be her boss in the future, and his status would be different.

"Wherever you go, I'll take you there." Mingyuan made a suggestion. The girl didn't know how she got here by herself.

"No, I'll just take a taxi."

Xu Yunzhen waved her hand quickly. This was only the second time the two met, and their relationship was not too close.

"Well, that's fine. Pay attention to safety. If you have any questions, you can come to the company directly to see me." Mingyuan finally exchanged contact information with the little guy, so that Xu Yunzhen would not be able to find him if he wanted to ask something.

If Xu Yunzhen can join, that would be a good start.

……

Mingyuan spent the next few days pondering and perfecting the script of "Women in the Drunken City".

However, he found a coding place that was a little noisy compared to the silent office, but strangely made people calm down.

"Liu Zhen, your actions just now were very irregular."

"Youna, please pay attention to your position."

"Jisu, good job, keep up the good work."

Huang Lizhi wiped his sweat, watched the video of the dance practice just now with a serious expression, and expressed his opinions on the members' questions one by one. Then he pinched his waist and looked at the uninvited guest in the corner of the practice room with the same headache. .

Shen Liuzhen and Shen Youna were usually top students in dance, but today they made frequent mistakes.

On the contrary, Choi Ji-soo performed exceptionally and felt that she was at least giving her usual 120% effort.

All of this can be attributed to a certain guy sitting in the corner typing away at the keyboard. Although Mingyuan didn't make any sound, his presence was surprisingly strong.

"Oppa is quite handsome when he works hard." Shen Liuzhen secretly took out his mobile phone and took a photo when Huang Lizhi and other members were not paying attention.

High technology is good, even if the distance is not very close, the things captured are still very clear.

"Ryujin Unnie, what are you doing?"

Shen Youna appeared out of nowhere and was so frightened that Shen Liuzhen almost had a heart attack. This child is really...

The girl quickly locked the phone screen: "I was thinking about the dance moves just now, haha."

"By the way, Ernie, why does Oppa have to work in the practice room? I feel so stressed."

Shen Youna pitifully complained to her sister that the maknae was really a little afraid of Ming Yuan, especially Ming Yuan who had a cold face and no smile.

"Maybe oppa just cares about us." Shen Liuzhen said after thinking about it.

She wished Mingyuan could stay a little longer.

During the practice just now, although Shen Liuzhen made the same mistakes as Shen Youna, she was either nervous or distracted, and her attention was always accidentally attracted to Mingyuan.

"is it?"

Shen Youna blinked her cute big eyes and glanced at someone secretly.

"Oppa, let's not disturb you, right?" Huang Lizhi didn't have so many worries and walked directly to the man's side and asked.

"Don't disturb me. If there is no sound, I can't write anymore."

Mingyuan said without raising his head.

He now feels that some background sounds are perfect for writing, especially when paired with the figures of young and beautiful girls practicing dance.

Slender waist, long legs, flying hair and sweat...

wonderful.

"Oppa, actually what I want to say is that you are disturbing our practice here."

"Have it?"

"Yes, Liu Zhen started to make mistakes, and it was all because of you."
