Chapter 12 I'll Pick You Up
"Well, you go back to rest first, I have to discuss with the leader, and I will give you news as soon as possible."

After chatting for a long time, Wang Dan smiled and got up to see off the guests.

"Okay, thank you Sister Dan, you don't need to send it off, I'll just go down by myself."

After finishing speaking, Su Mu turned and left the meeting room, greeted the lady at the front desk, and took the elevator directly downstairs.

After he left, Wang Dan walked to the door of the general manager's office and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in."

A thick male voice came from the room, Wang Dan pushed open the door, and greeted the gentle man sitting in the boss chair behind the desk.

This man is Wu Tao, the general manager of Juku Film and Television.

"Mr. Wu."

"What's the matter? Sit down and talk." Wu Tao put down the document in his hand and rubbed his temples.

"The newcomer introduced by Mr. Meng has already come. I talked with him for a while just now."

The Mr. Meng she was referring to was Meng Xue, the vice president of Syndicate Film and Television.

"Oh? How are you doing?"

Wu Tao was still very curious about the person Meng Xue valued. That woman had a high standard of vision, and she had never recommended an artist before, and this was the first time.

"Su Mu, born in 90, a third-year student in the drama school, performed very well in school, acted in many dramas, participated in Syndicate's "Three Thousand Gold in Xia Family", played the third male lead, and performed very well, His acting skills are much better than those of the other leading actors. He has a good appearance, is young and handsome, has a good EQ, speaks clearly, is not in a hurry, and is more stable than his peers."

With that said, Wang Dan took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Wu Tao.

"This is what I asked for from Mr. Meng. You can take a look at the footage of Su Mu's filming in "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" and the scene with the popular actress Tang Yan."

Hearing this, Wu Tao directly plugged the USB flash drive into the computer and looked it up.

After a few minutes.

"Not bad, it's a good seedling."

"Then what kind of contract do we give him?"

"The number of years is 5+3, and if the share is divided into seven or three, it can be adjusted according to the development performance."

"5+3? Is this too loose?" Wang Dan was a little confused.

We must know that most newcomers in the entertainment industry have about 10 years, or even 15 years, and the minimum start time is 8 years.

This is normal, after all, it takes a lot of resources and energy to train a newcomer.

Just imagine, the company spent several years and a lot of resources to make an artist popular, and it hasn't started to pay back. As a result, the contract expires, and the company's resources are all in vain.

This is not in the interest of any one company, including companies in other industries.

And Wu Tao gave Su Mu a 5+3 contract, which means that the contract is signed for 5 years. After the contract expires, the company has the priority to renew the contract for 3 years.

In other words, as long as he still wants to sign with a brokerage company after five years, he can only sign with Juku, unless Juku doesn't want to sign with another company.

However, this kind of contract can be circumvented in other ways, such as opening a personal studio.

"It's okay. After all, our company has never been an artist manager. This is just an experiment. Everything needs to be explored. If the effect is good, we will formulate corresponding rules and regulations in the future."

This is just a superficial reason. In fact, there is also the influence of Meng Xue. If it is not for Meng Xue, then the contract period must be at least 8 years.

There is another most important reason, that is, Juku does not value artist agents, and the company has not signed a single artist for so many years.

In the past, all the resources were given to brokerage companies with better relationships.

Signing Su Mu now is not only to try, but also to give Meng Xue face, so the conditions are not too harsh.

However, after tasting Wu Tao's sweetness, I don't know if he can still be so generous.

"Well, I see, then I'll prepare to sign the contract."

This is the end of the topic. As Su Mu's manager, Wang Dan also needs to consider his future development and find suitable resources for him.

After Su Mu left Juku, he took a taxi and went back home.

First took a shower, then lay quietly on the bed and recalled the conversation just now.

Through observation, he knew that Wang Dan's sense of him should be good. Coupled with Meng Xue's relationship, the signing of the contract was already a certainty.

It's just that he doesn't know what the specific conditions will be, especially the number of years. If it is too long, he still has to think about it.

His bottom line is seven years, no longer.

After chatting for so long, Su Mu also had a general understanding of Juku's model of cultivating newcomers.

The pattern is - stocking.

The company will provide resource support, and if the resources of other companies are particularly suitable, the company will also use resource replacement to help artists get them.

As for commercial performances, commercials, and variety shows, whether they can be won or not depends entirely on the artist's own development and the ability of the agent.

It's not that the company doesn't pay much attention to artists, it's a helpless choice.

In the past, Juku had never signed an artist at all. Its focus was on the production and distribution of TV dramas.

Now there is only Wang Dan in the artist department of the company.

After Su Mu signed the contract, the two of them formed their own line in the company and did not have a professional team like other brokerage companies.

Teams need to be built slowly.

It stands to reason that such a company is extremely detrimental to the development of artists, especially newcomers. Hearing this kind of situation, they may not even be interested in signing contracts.

However, Su Mu is not a newcomer, he has a clear understanding of the future development.

I just went for those popular TV series, and I don't care about anything else, even if it's divided into [-]-[-], I can accept it.

Mr. Lu Xun said: If you want to be famous in the future, you must be a good licking dog now.

Now you can give up benefits for the sake of fame, and when you become famous, you can earn it back multiple times. At that time, the salary for one movie will be enough for a lifetime.

Yes, just to make money.

Su Mu is a vulgar person. As an orphan, his living conditions were not good since he was a child. He just wanted to earn more money so that he could live a better life for the rest of his life.

However, while making money, he still has his own principles, he won't act in all kinds of bad movies, it will ruin his reputation, and it won't be good for future development.

As he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang suddenly.

"When I was a child, I chiseled the wall and stole the light from someone's house.

The past is not combed, a bitter ten-year cold window

Now reading under the light, red sleeves add fragrance

Fake fame for half a lifetime is just vain
"

Taking out the phone from his pocket, seeing the caller ID on the screen, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but cock his mouth.

It turned out to be this girl.

The phone was connected, and a soft and cute voice came out, "Student Su Mu, who do you think I am?"

"Little Fatty, I can't hear you if you change Crayon Shin-chan's voice?"

"."

The person on the opposite side was quiet for a minute before responding quietly: "Brother, it's agreed not to call me chubby."

The voice is resentful and wronged.

Su Mu could still think of her pouted and aggrieved appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I was wrong, and I won't bark again from now on."

"Okay then, if you call me that again in the future, I will punish you for buying me crayfish."

"Yes, yes, I will treat you to a meal once I call, that's fine."

"Okay, okay, then you can call, for food, I will bear it."

"."

Su Mu supported his forehead, showing a helpless expression, this girl, in order to eat, can even abandon her principles.

"Senior brother, I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow."

"Huh? Is school about to start?"

"That's right, the day after tomorrow is the day for freshmen to report. I'm so far away, so naturally I have to go early."

"What time is your flight, who will take you?"

"It's still me. My mom and dad are busy. If the plane is not late, I will arrive in Shanghai at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"Well, then I'll pick you up tomorrow."
