They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 44 Root Causes of Rejection

"Actually, Teacher Huo should also understand that I am here to trouble you again. Actually, I still want to discuss the contract signing in person..."

While talking, Mr. Cai took over the contract from Zhuo Yafang and handed it to Huo Mingjie again.

"This contract has been re-drafted. Teacher Huo can take a look at it again!"

Huo Mingjie really didn't want to sign with Sugar Man, he was confident that he could make it on his own.

But Sugar Man was so polite that he felt embarrassed to refuse directly, so he could only take the contract and read it.

I have to say that Sugar Man is really sincere enough!

The contract contains commitments such as image packaging, word-of-mouth marketing, announcement arrangements, and the creation of an accompanying team. Let’s not talk about these for the moment. Let’s just say that the most important contract share is [-]% to [-]% for both parties.

In other words, Sugar Man is willing to let Huo Mingjie take the big share!

Compared with Huo Chengyin's contract, this ratio seems to be much higher.

But if the money is really counted, with the resources and role announcements brought by Sugar Man, Huo Mingjie not only did not lose money, but also earned more!
Compared with the overbearing contracts that some brokerage companies "open on September [-]st", Sugar Man's side is undoubtedly conscientious to the extreme.

Looking at Huo Mingjie's flawless and handsome face, Mr. Cai gritted his teeth suddenly, but continued to add:
"There is still room for negotiation... I can tell you the truth, you get [-]%, and then the company will also bear all the salaries of the accompanying team members!"

With Huo Mingjie's face alone, she dared to be sure that she would definitely make a profit if she signed it!
"Now that the filming of "Flying Fairies" has started, the second male role that I originally wanted to give you is gone. But in the second half of this year, we, Sugar Man, are preparing a "Liao Zhai", which is a unit drama model."

"As long as you are willing to sign the contract, the male lead of one of the unit dramas can give it to you directly."

"After that, we Sugar Man will also have a complete plan for you, and we will let you play the leading role in two years at the latest!"

The next few years were the period when Sugar Man was at its peak, and basically a hit TV series would be released every year.

Huo Mingjie is very clear that as long as he signs this contract at this time, his star journey will be smooth in the future!
But even so, Huo Mingjie still shook his head slightly and said apologetically:

"Thank you Mr. Cai for your kindness, but I'm really sorry..."

When Mr. Cai heard the words, he asked anxiously:
"Can I ask Mr. Huo the reason for his refusal? Our sugar people have always had a good reputation in the circle, and the conditions we gave are already the greatest sincerity!"

Having said this, Mr. Cai obviously thought about it in his mind before speaking:

"Is it because of Mr. Huo?"

"I know the relationship between the two of you...but many things in the entertainment industry cannot be achieved by relying on strength alone. Many good roles and good scripts are obtained by replacing resources!"

"To be honest, Mr. Huo's connections won't be of much help to your acting career."

In fact, it's not just the entertainment circle, in fact, the whole human society is like this!
There are so many capable and capable people, if you can't reward others, why should they choose you?

Huo Mingjie is not really a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, so he can naturally understand this.

Huo Chengyin came up from the bottom, no matter how good-looking he is, he still has his limitations.

Just like the role in "Feng Shen Bang" that he was busy trying to win this time, in all likelihood, there would be no good results.

Huo Mingjie started his career in the early stage, he can help, but in the middle stage, he must be weak...

But even though he understood this, Huo Mingjie continued to shake his head and said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cai. Actually, it's not just because of my nephew... I don't like to be restrained and controlled!"

Before Mr. Cai could speak, Huo Mingjie continued to speak up:
"I know Mr. Cai may have to make some guarantees now, but I know that when the company and my personal interests come into conflict, these guarantees and promises may not be useful!"

"For example, if my relationship is exposed and the matter becomes a big deal, and even directly affects my endorsements and announcements, will the company force me to break up and clarify the scandal?"

In this day and age, it is not as blatant for an artist to fall in love as it was more than ten years later.The degree of madness of the fans is not weaker than that of later generations, even Andy Lau is forced to dare not admit the relationship.

In the contracts signed by many stars and companies, there is even a "no dating" clause directly!

Mr. Cai on the opposite side paused slightly when he heard this.

What Huo Mingjie said was obviously correct.When a conflict of interest breaks out between the company and the individual star, it is impossible for the company to remember the terms of the promise.

At the end of the quarrel, it is often a mess, and the previous friendship is lost, and the enemies become enemies!
In particular, Sugar Man has a "criminal record", and later generations have repeatedly made troubles to the point of going to court...

After a moment of silence in the box, Zhuo Yafang who was at the side came out to change the subject, not only to reconcile the atmosphere, but also with a bit of curiosity, she asked:
"Looking at Teacher Huo's tone, are you in love?"

Huo Mingjie was slightly stunned when he heard this, and the figure of Master Liu subconsciously appeared in his mind.

After a while, he shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice:

"not yet!"

Don't care how long this "temporary" lasts, anyway, he is not in a relationship now, at most a little ambiguous, and is in contact with each other...

Huo Mingjie came back to his senses and continued:

"I'm just giving you an example. In fact, there are many similar things!"

This "no love" ordinance is just one of them.

After signing the contract with the Sugar Man, the company wants you to have a meal with the investor. Are you going to refuse directly?

You fall in love with a role, but the company thinks that this role does not fit your acting plan, conflicts with your image and refuses to accept it, what can you do?
You don't want to accept commercial performances, but the company needs to make money!

I don't like the script, but this is the company's lead production...

All kinds of things are helpless.

This feeling of being restrained and restricted is something Huo Mingjie doesn't want to accept.Over time, conflicts are inevitable!

As for Huo Chengyin, he can fall in love if he wants to. If he doesn't like socializing, no one will force him to do so.

So he would rather play supporting roles for a few more years and make his acting career more difficult than this.

Of course, there is actually a very good way!
It is to learn from future generations of stars to establish their own studios and be responsible for their own profits and losses, and the brokerage company can only participate in a share at most.

But the current Huo Mingjie is just a young actor who hasn't really made his mark yet.

Even if the sugar man's attitude was very low, he knew that he was not qualified to put forward such conditions, so he did not speak out of ignorance...
