Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

Chapter 106 Encounter 3

He led the two somewhat reserved girls into the general manager's office.

Recently.

Dongsheng Pictures has recruited more than a dozen employees, and Wu Han has also poached two from his former employer, Dick Company. The rest are the original cast and crew of "The Terror Live". However, these people only receive a base salary of three thousand yuan. Only when the projects that the company has finalized start filming will these people receive a salary that is much higher than what they would receive working for the company.

The reason she was at the company was because Su Qing had hired a lecturer to give lessons to the crew members.

"This is……"

As Su Qing passed by the operations department office, she saw Wu Han, who had already arrived for work. Noticing that Wu Han was leading two girls, Wu Han asked her curiously.

"One of the bosses wanted to sign it."

Su Qing replied simply.

"This girl, right?"

Wu Han smiled and looked at Meng Shiya, unable to help but praise, "She is indeed very beautiful, with such big and round eyes."

"another"

Su Qing's words left Wu Han speechless. She looked at Kim Ji-mi, then at Su Qing, and asked uncertainly, "Are you kidding me?!"

"The boss personally explained"

Su Qing thought to herself, "As expected."

She wasn't the only one who thought Kim Ji-mi lacked potential; even Wu Han, the operations manager, thought so. Conversely, like Wu Han, Su Qing also had a bit of a crush on the person who came with Kim Ji-mi.

A classic oval face with extremely smooth lines and a rounded jawline without any sharp angles.

The eyes are large and bright.

She was a little shorter than Kim Ji-mi, but only by a tiny bit. Su Qing was probably around 1.67 meters tall, with a very tall and well-proportioned figure, which is the hourglass shape that young people like these days.

This girl... if she were signed by Dongsheng Pictures, Su Qing estimated that with a little effort from the company, they could make her a star. Even without any representative works, with her looks, she would definitely become a favorite of cosmetics and skincare brands.

"sit"

After leading the two women into the office, Su Qing pointed to the chair in front of her desk. The two girls hesitated for a moment before Su Qing smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. You can go out and find an empty office area and move one over here."

Hearing Su Qing say this, Jin Zhimei ran outside and brought in a chair. Su Qing poured a glass of water for each of them and placed it in front of them before sitting back down in her office chair.

She looked at Kim Ji-mi: "Let me first introduce Dong Sheng Pictures. I guess you've already noticed when you came in that it's only been established for a few months, and even the office building was recently rented. But aside from the fact that the company has only been established for a short time, Dong Sheng Pictures is indeed a legitimate company. Can I ask how you and my boss met?"

This is what Su Qing is most curious about.

Just like it appeared out of nowhere, without any warning, they said they wanted to sign this girl. If Su Qing had noticed it before, she felt she couldn't possibly have known.

"Last night I took the bus..."

Kim Ji-mi told the whole story.

After listening, Su Qing was somewhat speechless. She hadn't expected that she was the one who brought Huang Min and Jin Zhimei together. It was quite a coincidence. Knowing the reason, Su Qing was no longer curious. She asked directly, "Have you decided to sign a contract with our company? Before you sign, I have to tell you a few things. First, the contract term is no less than ten years. Second, the penalty for breach of contract will be very high."

Su Qing didn't quite understand why Huang Min had specifically mentioned this point, just like his concern that Kim Ji-mi might be poached by other entertainment companies in the future. Then, Su Qing continued, "Third... don't be nervous, this is more advantageous for you. Generally, the revenue split between newcomers and their agencies in entertainment companies is 10/90. Huang Min, whom you met last night, specifically instructed that even if you're a newcomer, Dong Sheng Pictures will keep 20% for you. And when you're not filming, in addition to paying your social insurance and housing fund contributions, the company will also give you a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan. The rest is about your acting fee, which depends on the market... By the way, why didn't your parents come with you?!"

My parents divorced years ago.

Kim Ji-mi said somewhat sadly, "We each have our own families. I've always lived with my grandmother, but she passed away last year."

"Feel sorry"

Su Qing felt slightly apologetic, then asked, "So what do you mean?!"

"Could I ask how much the penalty for breach of contract is?"

Kim Ji-mi asked somewhat nervously, "I'm worried I won't be able to afford to pay for it later."

"Ten million"

Su Qing uttered a number that made Kim Ji-mi tremble, and even Meng Shi-ya, sitting next to her, widened her eyes instantly. Seeing their expressions, Su Qing didn't show any surprise. She looked at Kim Ji-mi and said, "Do you think it's very high!?"

Without waiting for Kim Ji-mi's reply, Su Qing nodded: "It is indeed very high, even I think so. There's a reason for that. You've signed with Dong Sheng Pictures, and from now on, Dong Sheng Pictures will plan your development. You're an actor, so Dong Sheng Pictures will have to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to tailor-make movies or TV series suitable for you to star in. Once you become famous, if I set a breach of contract penalty of several hundred thousand or even millions for you, no other entertainment company will need to pay it for you; you can pay it yourself. You should understand what I'm saying!"

As she spoke, Su Qing got up and poured herself a glass of water. She held it in her hands and drank it while continuing, "To put it bluntly, if you sign with Dongsheng Film Industry now, the company will soon be preparing a new film for you. Right now, the company doesn't have many signed artists. One is Teacher Zhou Nian, and the other is you. Simply put, as long as you sign today, you will be the top star of Dongsheng Film Industry, and the company will give you all the good resources."

That's what they say.

However, the reality is that Dong Sheng Pictures currently has no resources whatsoever.

The department wasn't even set up yet, and the business hadn't expanded, but... after a period of learning, Su Qing had gradually come to understand the operating rules of the entertainment industry.

This circle emphasizes resource exchange.

To give an analogy.

Huang Min has a significant role in her next film. As the general manager of Dong Sheng Film Industry, she can keep this role and then use it to exchange with other agents for a role in another film that is suitable for Kim Ji-mi.

The same goes for directors.

If the female lead of this drama is secured by this sponsor, she can then ask this sponsor to give Kim Ji-mi another role of roughly equal importance.

In addition, it can also be bundled.

For example, if a film wants Teacher Zhou Nian to play the male lead, Dong Sheng Pictures can talk to the producer or director of the film. It's not impossible for Teacher Zhou Nian to act, but Kim Ji-mi must be given a role in the film.

Because this harmed Teacher Zhou's interests.

Therefore, Dong Sheng Film Studio could privately reduce his commission by half or one percent to promote another artist first.
