They were all so into the drama!

Chapter 44 The fundamental reason for refusing to sign the contract

"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..."

As Mr. Cai spoke, he took 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!

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 60% to 40% 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 share ratio seems to be much higher.

But if we really count the money, with the resources and character announcements brought by Sugar Man, Huo Mingjie not only did not lose money, but also made more!

Compared with the overbearing contracts that some brokerage companies "open on September 1st", Sugar Man's side is undoubtedly conscientious to the extreme.

Looking at Huo Mingjie's flawless handsome face, Mr. Cai gritted his teeth and continued to add:

"There's room for negotiation here... I can tell you the truth. You get 70%, and then the company will bear all the wages of the accompanying team members!"

Just based on Huo Mingjie's face, she was sure that she would definitely make a profit if she signed the contract!

"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 be given 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, with a hit TV series basically coming out every year.

Huo Mingjie knew very well that as long as he signed this contract at this time, his future stardom would be extremely smooth!

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..."

After hearing this, Mr. Cai asked anxiously:

"Can I ask the reason for Teacher Huo's refusal? Our sugar people have always had a good reputation in the circle, and the conditions given are already the most sincere!"

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

"Is it because of Mr. Huo?"

"I know that the two of you are related...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 industry, but actually the entire human society!

There are so many capable and capable people, but if you can't reward them, 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 well-rounded he is, he still has his limitations.

Just like the role in "The Legend of the Gods" that he was busy fighting for this time, there would be no good results in nine cases out of ten.

He can help Huo Mingjie start his career in the early stage, but he will definitely be weak in the mid-term...

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 that Mr. Cai may have to make some guarantees now, but I know that when the company and my personal interests 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, dating is not as blatant for artists as it was a decade or so ago. The fans' madness is no less than that of later generations. Even Andy was forced not to admit the relationship.

Many celebrities and companies even have "no love" clauses in the contracts they sign!

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

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

At the end of the quarrel, there is often a lot of excitement, and the previous friendship is lost and the relationship turns into an enemy!

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 on the side came out to change the topic. Not only to calm 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 moment, he slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"not yet!"

Don't worry about how long this "temporary" can last. Anyway, he is not in love now. At most, he is slightly ambiguous and in contact with each other...

Huo Mingjie came to his senses again 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 Sugar Man, the company asked you to have a meal with the investors. Do you have to refuse directly?

You have your eye on a role, but the company feels that this role does not meet your acting plans and conflicts with your image and refuses to accept it. What can you do?

You don’t want to take on a commercial role, but the company has to make money!

I don’t like the script, but this is a company-led 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.

Therefore, 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 follow the example of later generations of celebrities who set up personal studios and are responsible for their own profits and losses. The brokerage company will only take a stake at most.

But now Huo Mingjie is just a young actor who has not really made his mark.

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...
