Chapter 242 Transferring a Minor Actor
Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately called Zhong Lei:
"Mr. Zhong, please help me check if there is an actress named Zhao Liying under Xingyi?"
As the vice president of Xingyi, Zhong Lei certainly doesn't know about some unknown actors.
"Xiao Chen, how did you know this person? Do you want to support her?"
Zhong Lei said jokingly.
He wanted to praise him, but Su Chen would definitely not admit it.
"I have a role here that's perfect for her."
"By the way, if Zhao Liying is under Xingyi, can Mr. Zhong give her up and let her sign with my studio?"
Bell Tower:
"Is that necessary? Why should we differentiate between you and me? Just take the actor you like and use him!"
Su Chen:
"It is still necessary to save costs."
Yes, Su Chen needs to bind artists with potential to his own studio.
Otherwise, if a drama makes someone famous, their future pay will skyrocket. How can they expect him to act for them at a low pay in the future?
Moreover, commercial performances and endorsements can also bring in a considerable amount of income.
Zhong Lei thought about it and agreed:
"Okay! I'll ask someone to check. If there really is such a person, I'll transfer him to your studio."
Now Xingyi is counting on Su Chen to make a lot of money.
Such a small request must be agreed to.
Moreover, people like Yang Mi and Deng Ziqi, who have signed with Su Chen's studio and starred in Su Chen's TV series, all receive floor pay. Doesn't this also reduce the cost of TV series production and distribution?
Turning around, Zhong Lei handed the matter over to his assistant.
After some operations, the assistant gave a positive reply.
Yes! There is indeed a supporting actress named Zhao Liying under Xingyi.
Moreover, the contract has entered its fifth year and is about to expire.
After receiving such information, Zhong Lei felt even less burdened.
He's just a minor actor, not a big-name one, so it's fine if he wants to transfer it.
Moreover, the contract is about to expire, so this transfer can be said to not cause any loss to Xingyi.
You can also do Su Chen a favor, so why not do it!
Although Zhong Lei was very puzzled.
How did Su Chen know about the existence of a supporting role like Zhao Liying?
But is this important? It’s not important at all, okay!
At that moment, Zhong Lei immediately called Su Chen back:
“Xiao Chen, Xingyi really has such an actor!”
"I'll ask her to report to you right away, just wait!"
Su Chen: "Mr. Zhong, just give me her contact information."
"I'll contact her myself."
Although Zhao Liying was asked to come over, the feeling given by having someone else pass the message and inviting her in person is completely different.
Su Chen will have many TV dramas in the future and will want Zhao Liying to star in them.
Su Chen would definitely not miss such an opportunity to win people's hearts.
Well, Zhong Lei was very confused as to why Su Chen attached so much importance to a supporting actor.
However, since Su Chen insisted on doing so, he had no reason to object.
…
At this time, Zhao Liying was already considering leaving Xingyi Media.
Yes. Five years ago, Zhao Liying signed with Xingyi Media through a talent show.
I originally thought that my dream of becoming a star was about to come true.
However, the opposite happened.
After signing with Xingyi, she did not receive any attention.
For the past five years, she has been playing minor roles, and this is the result of her hard work.
Today, she is already 25 years old.
Zhao Liying felt that she could no longer waste her youth at Xingyi.
An actor's golden period of advancement is only about ten years.
If she can't make a name for herself before the age of 28, then her dream of becoming a movie star will be shattered! Zhao Liying absolutely cannot accept such an outcome!
She has loved performing since she was a child, and she sacrificed everything to enter the entertainment industry.
But now, she has signed with Star Friends for five years, and her career has not seen any improvement!
But I am five years older!
Zhao Liying guessed that maybe Xingyi and her horoscopes were not compatible.
Because of her straightforward character, some people within Xingyi even somewhat reject her.
Leaving Xingyi may be the best choice for her at this moment.
If you change your environment, maybe you can create a new world for yourself.
Moreover, as she gets older, Zhao Liying feels that the social pressure she faces is increasing.
Including those at home, among classmates and friends.
It's time to make a change!
"well!"
However, looking at her mailbox, Zhao Liying sighed.
In fact, she has already submitted her resume to many entertainment companies.
However, without exception, all of them fell into oblivion and no news was ever heard from again.
There isn't a single outstanding character!
They are all supporting roles!
This is her fatal weakness.
"Is there no entertainment company willing to accept me?"
At this time, Zhao Liying even began to doubt herself.
Beep, beep, beep…
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Although it was an unfamiliar call, Zhao Liying answered it immediately.
"Hello! You are Zhao Liying, right?"
Zhao Liying:
"Yes you are?"
For some reason, Zhao Liying felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but for a moment, she couldn't remember who it was.
Su Chen:
"I'm Su Chen."
"I have a female lead in a play here, who is quite suitable for you."
"However, if you want to perform, the prerequisite is to sign into my studio!"
“…”
Hearing this, Zhao Liying felt a buzzing in her head and felt dizzy.
Su Chen?
Let her be the heroine of the new drama?
Zhao Liying seriously doubted whether she had heard it wrong!
Or received a scam call?
Because such news sounds too unreal and too dreamy!
But that voice is so familiar.
That was indeed Su Chen's voice!
“Really…really?”
After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhao Liying asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
Suchen reiterated.
"But the prerequisite is that you have to sign in to my studio!"
Zhao Liying agreed without hesitation:
"Of course!"
For her, this was like someone giving her a pillow when she was sleepy!
She was just about to leave Xingyi!
Just when all major entertainment companies ignored her, Su Chen extended an olive branch to her!
At this moment, Zhao Liying felt that she was extremely lucky!
"Okay then."
Su Chen then directly stated the contract terms to Zhao Liying.
There is one thing that needs to be emphasized.
Regarding the film's remuneration, Su Chen proposed a 6:4 split between the studio and Zhao Liying.
After all, Zhao Liying's main job is acting.
To put it bluntly, acting is a dirty and tiring job, which is different from singing where you can do it once and for all.
Therefore, the proportion of profit sharing is definitely different from that in the music field.
You can't always ask others to act for you for free.
In fact, this clause was included in the contracts that Su Chen re-signed with his artists .
