This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 404 Betting on a Future

Ding Xiu was still working overtime and didn't go back to the hotel. Zhang Songwen found him easily.

"Brother Xiu, I heard from Xiao Zhou that you have something to do with me?"

When he came to the director's studio, Zhang Songwen pretended not to know anything, and asked Ding Xiu with a squinted smile.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Ding Xiu pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down, let's chat with you."

"Okay, if you have something to do, you can arrange it. I'm on the set and I'll listen to everything. I won't blink even if I tie Wia and jump off the fifth floor tomorrow."

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a trivial matter." Ding Xiu extinguished the cigarette butt and said seriously: "I want to sign you and Xiao Zhou to our company, and he agreed. Are you interested in coming?"

Zhang Songwen rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Xiu for looking up to me, I am very grateful, but I don't know how the treatment is, can you tell me?"

What to look for when signing a contract, mainly depends on the treatment.

If he foolishly agrees, and turns around and sits on the bench every day, or plays tricks, then what's the point, it's better to be at ease now, although the money is less, but no one cares, it's comfortable.

Ding Xiu pondered for a few seconds, and said, "You and Xiao Zhou's situation is clear to you. It's unrealistic to be number one male. To be honest, in the current market situation, I dare not guarantee you number one male [-]%."

Zhang Songwen nodded silently, Ding Xiu's words sounded good.

If he promised to be number one when he came up, that would be a big fool, he couldn't believe it.

Although the current market is getting better and better, it is biased towards young people. You will know the regular customers who have seen the most. Most of them are Ding Xiu and the group born in the [-]s.

The older generations born in the [-]s and [-]s who were once popular in half the sky are now playing soy sauce and supporting young people in major film and television dramas.

Only a small number of post-[-]s are still playing the male lead.

Zhang Songwen is very clear about his own situation. If he debuted in his twenties, he might be able to fight hard. After all, he still had some good looks back then.

Now I am middle-aged, in my 30s, not handsome, short, not well-known, and I am not following the route of a young boy, who would dare to ask him to be the number one male?
Ding Xiu continued: "However, I can assure you that in the future, I will at least have supporting roles in the dramas that I find you, and there will be no less than three dramas per year. In addition, I will give you a signing fee of 30 yuan, and you will continue to teach you when you are free. I’ll let you know in advance if there’s any book left, you’ll ask for leave.”

Hearing that there are three plays every year, at least supporting roles, Zhang Songwen frowned slightly. This resource is not high, at least he worked hard, and he could barely achieve it, but it was not so easy.

The subsequent 30 signing fee made him frown completely and a smile appeared on his face.

As far as his living standard is concerned, 30 yuan is enough for ten or eight years, and it is enough to make a down payment, and he will be regarded as his home in Beipingan in the future.

The convenience Ding Xiu gave was also very good. He didn't ask him to resign. Instead, he taught as usual, and went to the film crew when he was alive.

this point is very important.

He knows his own situation well, and it is difficult to become popular in a short period of time, even he is mentally prepared to be a supporting role for the rest of his life.

Therefore, it is impossible to resign from the position of Nortel teacher.

This is an iron rice bowl.

And it is very important for him to study acting skills, and he also enjoys the feeling of teaching on the podium.

It is better not to resign if you can not resign.

"Brother Xiu, I want to ask, how long is the contract signed?"

"Ten years, what do you think?" Ding Xiu casually reported a number.

Zhang Songwen was not too surprised. It is the norm in the industry to start ten years ago.

If it's only three or five years, the artist's contract will expire as soon as the contract is awarded, and whoever is replaced will not run away.

A general brokerage company invests in artists for the first three years. Normally, the bonus period comes after three years. At that time, the cost is barely recovered, and the profit comes next.

But for me, I am afraid that Qin Dynasty Entertainment will not be able to recover the cost in three years. Can I bring 30 income to the company within three years? Obviously not.

Sign a contract for ten years, the signing fee is 30 yuan, an average of 2000 yuan a year, and more than [-] yuan a month.

Think of it as finding a part-time job.

That's it.

But business belongs to business, and the price still has to be bargained.

"Brother Xiu, how was eight years?"

Zhang Songwen tried to ask.

"Nine years." Ding Xiu replied.

"OK."

One year less is one year less. Although it is not bad, it is cut down anyway, and the picture is comfortable.

"Leave the call to my assistant tomorrow, and I'll ask the company to print out the contract and send it to you later."

"Understood...then I won't bother you, I'll go back first."

"Well, let's go."

Watching Zhang Songwen's back leave, Ding Xiu retracted his gaze and put it on the monitor again.

Lu Yang, who was listening quietly, asked, "Is it worth it? Do you have too much money and no place to burn it?"

"Actors like this are everywhere. If you want to find them, you can find them anytime. They are old and have little potential. It's not worth it."

He was a little confused. There are many actors like Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Songwen. Although they have good acting skills, the most important thing in China is actors with good acting skills.

There is no need to give resources and signing fees.

If you spend more than a dozen or 20 yuan, you can't invite big names, but you can invite people with good acting skills who are not well-known everywhere.

Ding Xiu lit another cigarette: "Hundreds of thousands, let's take a gamble. If the two brothers can win one in the future, it will be ten times the rebate."

Hundreds of thousands are nothing to him, Drizzle, the bet is that Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Songwen will be popular, um, they will be popular in the future.

For some reason, Ding Xiu had a premonition that although young people are the world now, middle-aged actors will be popular in the future, that is, people in their forties, who are not too old or too young, have good acting skills and rich acting experience. After many years of hard work, he has gained a certain popularity and representative works.

The reason why the contract was signed for nine years and ten years was also because I thought that if the time limit expired and it would not be popular, then there would be no hope, so let's just do it.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you do it casually.

Lu Yang was speechless: "Brother, with this money, you bet on me. I am more reliable than the two of them. The company said that I will be the executive director of the next play."

Ding Xiumin glanced at him: "I signed for 15 years."

It belonged to Zhou Yiwei in 15. The young man signed a lot. At the beginning, Ding Xiu also made a random report. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yiwei did not resist and complied.

"I can also sign for 15 years." Lu Yang retorted.

Ding Xiu gave a thumbs up: "You are awesome."

A 15-year contract is almost the golden career of an artist, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is bound for life.

Because once the company wants to refrigerate you, let alone 15 years, three to five years is enough for you. If you come out after three to five years, who will remember you?

The more obvious one is Zhang Weijian. At the beginning, this guy was so awesome. He was the number one guy in the TV series, and he was so popular. Later, he was refrigerated for a few years because of the incident between Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque. Two years ago, I heard that Quietly Mimi made a comeback.

Well, I'm playing a supporting role now.
