Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 182 Beauty’s audition invitation

"The so-called rules are made by people, and in terms of TV and movies, many rules are formulated with the participation of the eight major film companies and the three major TV networks. Most of the people in the Film Association and the Television Association are from them. It can be said that they are both referees and

As players, they understand all this stuff..."

"Therefore, if you want to get involved in the entertainment industry, whether you are an actor or singer, or a director or producer, you must act within the rules set by these interest groups, otherwise you will be jointly suppressed by those giants."

After listening to Todd's words, Xie Zihao was silent for a while and then said:

"I'm really glad that I'm not talking about the actor profession, otherwise it would be really (federal country expletive) frustrating..."

Todd also scolded with a look of deep understanding:

"That's right, this xxx world, xxx entertainment industry!"

Xie Zihao asked:

"Then which of the three major brokerage companies do you think is more suitable for me?"

Todd blurted out without thinking:

"VVA, the full name is Virginia & Victor Agency, is an old agency in the White Eagle Federation. It was founded by a couple who later parted ways in the 1960s. The man ran away and founded a new agency.

TMA has quickly become one of the largest brokerage companies in the entire federation. And the two are relatively well-known old rivals."

"These big brokerage companies are not only involved in the entertainment industry, but many sports stars, political and business celebrities are their clients. Of course, their foundation is still in the entertainment industry, which is a big vanity fair."

"In addition to the first two, there is also TFAA, which is the Television and Film Arts Agency. It was an agency established in the 1980s by several insiders who graduated from NTU. Its business scope mainly radiates to Hollywood and the West Coast.

Here, they have also made inroads into the East Coast in recent years. These are currently the three major brokerage companies in the federation."

"Speaking of which, I am more optimistic about you joining TFAA, because we have some relationship with this company. After all, we are all NTU alumni. Many of the company's senior management are NTU graduates, and many of its agents have graduated from NTU and several prestigious schools on the West Coast.

.If you choose TFAA, you will also receive some preferential treatment.”

Xie Zihao nodded after hearing this.

Some prestigious schools in the western part of the federation formed the West Coast Conference in the 1950s, which corresponded to the established Ivy League schools on the East Coast, so they had a closer relationship with each other.

With such a relationship, even if he is not a relative, just by virtue of his status as a student at NTU, Xie Zihao can still get some implicit care from the company TFAA.

Todd continued:

"In contrast, TMA's advantage is that its network of relationships spans the entire federation. Due to the implementation of the bundled sales model, it has become the number one company and has extended its business to the East and Europe."

"The advantage of VVA is that as an old brokerage company, although they have declined somewhat in recent years, they are stronger on the East Coast. At the same time, they have been operating in federal countries such as Toronto, Canada and Australia for many years, and their overseas relationships are stronger. Many.

Actors and singers from the Federation are all signed to VVA, and they only make their mark in the Federation through their channels."

After listening to this, Xie Zihao fell into thinking. Although it seemed that all three companies were competing for him as a newcomer today, he knew that it was actually the agents from the three companies below who were competing for him.

After all, compared to the size of the three major agencies, as a newcomer who only participated in one drama, even if his performance was somewhat outstanding, it was not good enough and was not worthy of the attention of the senior management of the company behind him.

"Perhaps it will take newcomers like Bieber and Britney Spears in their previous lives who became famous as soon as they debuted and are destined to become top pop idols to be worthy of the desperate fight between the three major agencies?"

Xie Zihao laughed at himself in his heart. He didn't feel much discomfort with this gap. He was still the same person. He was not the kind of person who only wanted to get into the entertainment industry.

After sorting out the priorities, Xie Zihao made a rough decision in his mind.

"Let's take a look at the situation of the remaining two families first. If it doesn't work, I'll look for another way!"

In fact, he has secretly decided in his mind that if none of the three major brokerage companies can give him the loose contract he wants, then he will go directly to the senior management of one of them and use his own ability to "persuade" the other party to build himself into a relationship account.

Get a suitable contract.

Of course, things did not turn out to be the worst that Xie Zihao thought.

Next, the two of them met with people from the three major brokerage companies, TMA and TFAA. As expected, the agents sent by these two companies were younger and ordinary agents, and the contracts they presented were similar. They were mostly James.

·The Category C contract offered by Berkeley was slightly better than the one offered by the young agent from TFAA who was only in his mid-twenties. This was obviously because Xie Zihao’s profile showed that he was an undergraduate and graduate student at Nanjing University.

preferential treatment for information.

But Xie Zihao is not satisfied with this three-point contract.

His ideal artist contract is one that has few constraints and doesn't matter even if he makes less money.

It's just that he doesn't yet have the capital to ask the three major brokerage companies to provide him with a special contract.

Originally, Xie Zihao was planning to leave in disappointment, and then tried to find some off-the-beaten-path tricks, but who knew there would be a twist, just as they were paying and walking out of the cafe, they were struck by an acquaintance of the two, the producer of I'm Crazy for Love

Carter called him from behind.

In addition to Carter, there is also VVA senior agent James Berkeley, who has just left and will come back at some point. Along with the two men, there is another man wearing a white dress, dressed very elegantly.

, a tall blond lady who looks somewhat casual.

"Mr. Carter, we meet again! And Mr. Berkeley and this lady..."

Carter took the initiative to introduce:

"This is Miss Sophia Cole. We met by chance in this restaurant before. I heard Berkeley talking about you. A movie directed by Miss Sophia happened to be short of a suitable actor, so I asked Mr. Sherman to come over and watch it.

look!"

Todd's face immediately lit up when he heard this, because he had already recognized the identity of the beautiful lady who looked like a noble lady or a socialite.

"Really? That's great. My friend Lance is not only good in appearance and temperament, but his acting skills are not bad either. Mr. Carter should be able to prove this."

Carter heard this and nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, Mr. Sherman's acting skills astounded me, the director, and the editor. There are very few newcomers in Hollywood who have never been exposed to acting who can perform like this!"

After hearing this, Miss Cole smiled lightly and said:

"Really? Since Uncle Carter said so, I have to take a good look at Mr. Sherman's performance. If you have time, please make sure Mr. Sherman comes to my crew for an audition tomorrow."

Xie Zihao could tell that the young woman opposite was a little alienated from her admiration for him, so he just treated her as an introduction from an acquaintance and treated her politely.

But Todd was very active in calming the atmosphere, which made the beauty couldn't help but laugh.

After Xie Zihao took the beauty's business card and the two parties politely said goodbye and separated, Todd screamed excitedly.

Seeing Xie Zihao's indifferent look, he couldn't help but ask:

"You didn't recognize the identity of this Miss Cole, did you? That's Sophia Cole!"

The second female supporting character appears. In terms of romance, this book no longer has a single female protagonist, but it also doesn’t have a harem. The protagonist is probably innocent, passionate but not sentimental!
