    Shen Du looked at the chat box - there was only a document, a description, and a few sentences "You are interested", "Thank you teacher", "I will definitely read it carefully" "Can I discuss this diary with you after I read it? "Wait very polite, and there are five more "Jiang Yuan withdrew a message". After a while, Shen Du looked at the word "Jiang Yuan" at the top again, stretched out the index finger of his right hand, crossed Jiang Yuan's name from left to right over and over again, and unconsciously called "Yuan Yuan"...

    Shen Daying hesitated for a long time, but finally he couldn't hold back. He picked up the door card, pulled his foot out, and knocked on Jiang Yuan's door again.

    Jiang Yuan opened the door gently, and when he saw Shen Du standing there, he was a little nervous: "..."

    "Jiang Yuan," Shen Du tried his best to pretend to be calm, "I just saw that there were several withdrawn messages on WeChat. What's wrong." Shen Du told himself that Jiang Yuan kept withdrawing the messages, and he seemed hesitant to say anything. Of course, it is very normal to come and ask about the situation.

    "Oh," Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Shen Du hadn't seen the photo, so he explained, "CEO Liu, the CEO of Zhongzhi Film and Television, recommended me to play a role, and the director and assistant director over there wanted to see my photo first. I was talking to both of you at the same time and sent the photo to the wrong person."

    After speaking, Jiang Yuan smiled: "Also, both of your WeChat avatars are Huawei's own pictures, and the ids are a bit similar. I'm sorry."

    "...Well." Jiang Yuan was open at this time, Shen Du knew that he didn't lie, his eyes darkened, and he felt "it really is." He didn't try to ask why those photos were half-naked. There must be a reason for Jiang Yuan to choose those photos. The characters are either athletes or...

    He is more concerned about another thing: "Why did he recommend you? Did your agent have an appointment with him."

    "Well, yes." Jiang Yuan nodded and smiled, "At that time, Director Wang chose me to play the role of Xin Yuan, and then President Liu of Zhongzhi Film and Television wanted to sign me for at least five years, saying that he was the director of "Cabinet". Investors only want to use their own artists. I am afraid that I will lose this role, so I will 'sell myself' to Zhongqi Film and Television."

    Shen Du frowned.

    "That's right." Jiang Yuan still thinks it's weird to re-sign the contract. After thinking about it, he thinks that Director Wang is not familiar with the film and television circle in China, and Shen Du is the only person he can trust, so he is a little embarrassed He said, "Mr. Liu suddenly asked me to re-sign a brokerage contract. He said that Zhongzhi Film and Television was going to be reorganized, and it would be called Shengshi Huaxia Film and Television Company in the future, so he had to re-sign the brokerage contract with Shengshi Huaxia."

    Jiang Yuan knew Shen Du's character.

    Shen Du looked at him and suddenly said, "Don't sign. He lied to you."

    "……Um?"

    There is really a problem.

    Jiang Yuan thought, sure enough, Shen Du knew something.

    "He lied to you. Changing the name of the company does not require re-signing all contracts." Shen Du knew very well what Jiang Yuan wanted to ask him, "The two bosses of Zhongzhi Film and Television, Liu Zhaojun and Zhang Mingrui, have just broken up and can no longer be partners. Come on. The film and television company doesn't have any factories or equipment, and it can go anywhere. Therefore, because no one wants to be the one who is swept out of the house, Zhongqi Film and Television is about to disappear. , and then liquidated Zhongqi Film and Television."

    Jiang Yuan listened dumbly: "Oh..."

    "Do you understand why I told you not to sign?"

    Jiang Yuan said, "I don't understand."

    Shen Du said helplessly: "Theoretically, starting from January next year, the company Zhongqi Film and Television will no longer be in operation. It will no longer exist, and your brokerage contract will naturally become invalid."

    "Um."

    "I guess Liu Zhaojun's film and television company is this prosperous Huaxia - very similar to the name he would take. He wants to trick you into signing up for his new company. When you find out that the two companies are not the same thing at all, late."

    Jiang Yuan: "..." It turned out to be like this, it was too wicked.

    "Besides, I originally signed a contract with Zhongqi Film and Television..." Shen Du said again, "You were deceived by him."

    Jiang Yuan was stunned: "???"

    "I've seen the contract that Zhongqi invested in Wang Jinfa. There is a clause on it, which is similar to, 'Zhongqi Film and Television shall not interfere with Wang Jinfa's film casting', that is to say, Liu Zhaojun wants you to contract, otherwise you will Losing this role is to deceive you. He knows very well that you and Wang Dao and the others just met at that time and were completely unfamiliar, so he won't check it."

    Jiang Yuan said again: "..."

    "President Liu..." Shen Du pondered how he could speak well, but later found that he couldn't speak well, so he simply said, "He has a bad reputation in the industry."

    "Bad reputation?" Wasn't the CEO of a publishing company before? He has done a lot of bestsellers, millions.

    "Well," Shen Du said, "he is really... For example, he likes to exaggerate his investment the most, saying that he loses, the company loses, and does not give the main creator a profit. He also likes 'cutting the hu', as long as he hears three If a big platform wants to buy an original book, it should contact the screenwriter and author first, and then take advantage of the large company's process and long time to buy the book first, then resell it to the three major platforms, and ask Zhongqi to participate in investment, production, follow-up I have to say that his news is very well-informed. Some screenwriters are willing to wait for the platform, but some screenwriters can’t wait and sell it to him. After all, everything is variable before the platform is sealed, but the entire platform The process is to go through two or three months, do ppt, go to the meeting, get the signature of the boss of each department, sign the contract, go through the finance, go through the legal affairs... Then every time you change a clause, you have to go back to the legal affairs and finance. As for holding a project, yes Companies say that the big platforms like it very much and they value it very much, and they coax them to bid, and then use the company's quotation to tell the three richer platforms that this project is extremely popular and is being looted, and it is already commonplace to ask the other party to join the competition."

    Jiang Yuan was stunned to hear it again.

    "It is said that he also brought a fake director to meet investors, saying that the director who filmed "xx" was very interested in this project... By the way, another time, a major director sent a circle of friends to ask who knew a certain actor , Can you give me the contact information? Obviously Mr. Liu doesn't know him, but he sent a private message to the actor, saying that he would be allowed to appear in this play, and fooling the other party to sign a brokerage contract, and then come back and tell the big director that the other party is his actor. 50% of their salary." Dunton, Shen Du said, "Yeah, he coaxed you to sign a brokerage contract... I should have thought of that."

    "He..." Jiang Yuan said, "He always said that Zhongqi Film and Television would definitely make me popular. I'm really not used to it."

    "It's impossible for a reliable film and television company to say that." Shen Du replied to him, "They are more sincere and don't make cakes for you easily. The more you talk about the word 'red', the more unreliable it is. No one can guarantee Red, and luck may be far more important than one's own strength."

    Although Shen Du worked very hard, he still considered himself lucky.

    "I see." Jiang Yuan frowned and didn't quite understand, "Then why do those platforms and film and television companies still buy it?"

    Shen Du smiled lightly: "Everyone is in business, who can't get along with money. However, his partners don't like him in their hearts." Shen Du is also quite convinced by him - a senior, Every day, he is used as a talk and joke by young people, but he is frank.

    "Anyway, if it weren't for... I wouldn't have signed this movie." After a few seconds, Shen Du brought the topic back to Jiang Yuan, "Now that the two bosses of Zhongqi have gone their separate ways, and the Zhongzhi Company no longer exists, this opportunity Once in a lifetime." Shen Du looked straight at Jiang Yuan and said, "I don't want you to mix with him... I'll ask you about it, and I'll definitely recommend you to a good film and television company. Do you think this is okay?"

    Jiang Yuan simply didn't know what he should say. Shen Du helped him with such a big favor, and even asked, "Do you think this is okay?"

    "Thank you, Mrs. Shen." Jiang Yuan said, "I won't sign a new contract." After a while, he added, "It doesn't matter if it's not good. I can get more good roles by auditioning myself. I think here I learned a lot in the movie..." Jiang Yuan was a little happy at this point and smiled, "I have improved. I believe that I can get new and good roles. It is not a male lead, as long as he can participate in the film. Alright. So you don't have to spend too much time, just forget it."

    Shen Du looked at Jiang Yuan and nodded: "I will try my best."

    "Then thank you Teacher Shen."

    After thinking about it, Jiang Yuan said again: "I won't tell anyone else what you said." Shen Du also said just now that Mr. Liu is very well-connected, and Jiang Yuan wondered if he would know about it in the future. Shen Du stopped his signing, which might not be good.

    "It doesn't matter, just say it if you want." Shen Du chuckled, "I'm afraid he won't do it."

    At the end, Shen Du added: "He is also a businessman. If one day his company needs to find me for a project, he will treat it as nothing happened."

    Jiang Yuan thought about it: "That's right." He also needs to deal with clients in an advertising company, and it's not that he doesn't know how shrewd those people are.

    …………

    After Shen Du left, after a while, Jiang Yuan had a question and wanted to check with Shen Du again.

    Going to the next door, Jiang Yuan found that the door was closed, and the hotel was cleaning. Jiang Yuan knocked on the door lightly, but Shen Du didn't seem to hear it - the knock on the door was concealed by the roar of the vacuum cleaner.

    Jiang Yuan saw that Shen Daying was sitting in front of the big desk and was writing something, so he walked in gently, intending to go one or two meters away from Shen Du and then say hello.

    Shen Du was wearing a Bluetooth headset and was listening to the voice messages sent by others in WeChat. As he listened, the tip of the pen in his hand tapped lightly and unconsciously on the page.

    Jiang Yuan called, "Mr. Shen."

    "...?" Shen Du turned his eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Yuan, and took off his headphones.

    Jiang Yuan didn't want to read it at first, but he didn't know what was going on. His eyes drooped slightly, and he read the contents of the note pressed by Shen Du's hand clearly!

    The first column of each row is the name of the brokerage company, some of which Jiang Yuan has heard of, such as "Fenghe", the largest brokerage company in the industry, such as the second largest brokerage company... and some Jiang Yuan has never heard of, He guessed that it was a brokerage company opened by some bigwigs themselves.

    And behind these names are the advantages and disadvantages of each. Some have the relationship with the director, the artist can audition in advance, and can also guarantee the final selection; some have the resources of the channel, the film and television projects are easy to broadcast and easy to star; some have the resources of the government, all kinds of works are easy to get. To the so-called "boutique projects" of radio and television, there is a style; some have been more cautious, and resources are allocated to the top of each signed artist; some are well versed in publicity and promotion, and their artists are well-known; Fumbling with newcomers; some agents have a vicious vision, and the film and television projects they fancy have good box office and ratings; some agents are very good at training, and the acting skills of their artists will be reborn within two or three years; some agents are dedicated and responsible...

    Shen Du's handwriting is very beautiful.

    Jiang Yuan had a feeling: Shen Du was just listening to others introduce him to the situation, very serious and careful.

    Maybe, when he collects all the information, he will score each variable of each company or something...

    He said, "Mr. Shen..."

    "Well..." Shen Du looked at the things in his hand, raised his eyes again, and curled his lips, "I want to choose a few brokerage companies that are suitable for your development, and then discuss with you." Before saying this, Baojie The staff finished packing, picked up the things, closed the door, and went out.

    Jiang Yuan stared blankly at Shen Du.

    It turns out that "I will do my best" when Shen Du said just now actually refers to this level of "I will do my best"? Shen Du was clearly a little cold and tepid just now.

    Shen Du... is really trustworthy and worthy of deep friendship. Jiang Yuan even felt that Shen Du's people were gentle enough. Although he was not normal in that respect, if his restraint worked, the people who were with him should also be very happy, and it would be good to treat each other like guests.

    He even excused Shen Du: many, many artists have this abnormality. In their view of love, death is not the end, but a freeze, which freezes sexual attraction. This is especially true of filmmakers, photographers, painters, and sculptors, as they try to freeze the brightest moments with light and shadow, preserve and transmit them forever. They are so madly in love with dead things like movies and paintings, "Edward", "Elvis and Annabelle", "Rising Tide Shore" and so on all show this tendency so obviously. Maybe Shen Du too.

    Thoughts come back. Jiang Yuan wanted to say thank you, but Emperor Shen's two eyes were too focused and too obvious. Jiang Yuan's heart trembled when he saw it, and he couldn't help but look away, feeling a little awkward, pretending to be relaxed on the table, watching Take notes and say, "Thank you, sorry for your troubles."

    "It's all right."

    The air was quiet for seven or eight seconds.

    Shen Du again instructed: "By the way, try to delay with Liu Zhaojun as much as possible, it is best to wait until the exhibition is over. He is a slick and sophisticated person, and until he is sure that he can't get any more benefits from you, he will be warm and friendly. You can say that you don't want to sign that kind of Shengshi Huaxia during the contract period of 'Zhongqi Film and Television'... Or you can terminate the contract with Zhongqi first and then sign Shengshi Huaxia, or wait until January next year to sign again, and then, no matter which way he chooses, After you jump out, don't go in. Remember, don't let him know in advance that you are aware of the contract problem." Shen Du knew that Jiang Yuan had worked in an advertising company for a year as an account manager, and he would deal with people. , you don't need to teach the specific words yourself.

    Jiang Yuan nodded: "Well, good." It was strange that Jiang Yuan believed in Shen Du.

    "However, at that time, if it is determined that the two of you are no longer able to 'cooperate', he will change his face, you are ready. It is said that he has 'blocked' a lot of artists, and even sent word statements to each other... Wait for another day. There are new benefits, and he can pretend that nothing happened."

    Jiang Yuan: "..." Word statement... Should he expect word statement? At this time, Jiang Yuan's occupational disease as an account manager actually committed - why don't you send a pdf?

    "But, don't be afraid of him. He can't make any waves." Shen Du's eyes are very beautiful, "I said, he is a sophisticated person, he will not withdraw funds for you, and he will try his best to promote it, he just I just want to deceive you about this person's brokerage contract. Besides, Yu Li, you have no problem. He lied to you. Yu Fa, if you don't sign a new one after you terminate the contract, there is no problem. He has no reason to withdraw his investment, he can only pay compensation Termination."

    "I'll help you, you trust me." Shen Du knew that he had suffered so much and suffered so much, that's why, "your new employer in the future can't be afraid of him. He can't make any waves. In short, don't continue to mix with Liu Zhaojun and Shengshi Huaxia. He will destroy all your pure expectations for the movie." And he, he must protect his expectations.

    "Well," Jiang Yuan said obediently, "Okay. Thank you, Teacher Shen."

    Jiang Yuan really didn't know why Shen Du did this.

    Conduct investigation and analysis from one brokerage firm to another

    In the dim light, their eyes met.

    Shen Du stared at Jiang Yuan's eyes. Jiang Yuan wanted to escape, but he didn't want to. He just felt that this kind of staring was too exciting, so he dared to continue staring at each other. Now, the world doesn't exist anymore, only an addictive pleasure-sense oscillates in place. Jiang Yuan's heart beat loudly, like a sharp arrow hitting the bullseye.

    Shen Du said again, "It's alright. Do you remember everything?"

    "I remember it all." Jiang Yuan even repeated it, "First of all..."

    "Um."

    At this time, Shen Du was wearing a straight black shirt, buttoned all the way to the top one, with a sense of abstinence. Seeing Jiang Yuan's obedient appearance, Shen Du was a little irritable. He stretched out his hand, and the two slender fingers of his right hand pinched the placket of his shirt on both sides of the first button, and shook it to loosen the collar.
