Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Zhang Jianzhang rubbed his temple with his index finger: "Friendship? If you say it's because of love, I can ignore your age and reluctantly accept it. But you gave up such a good opportunity for 'friendship'?"

Chen Minhao corrected calmly: "It's not friendship, but a great revolutionary friendship with common ideals and aspirations."

Generally speaking, there are two types of relationships between artists and managers.

The first type of relationship is the employment relationship, which is relatively common in China. Artists use agents to manage their careers, and agents enjoy a share of the artist's income. In this relationship, the agent has weak restraint on the artist.

The second type of relationship is the superior-subordinate relationship, which often occurs with artists who have just debuted or trainees who have not yet debuted.

In this kind of relationship, the agent holds the power of life and death over the artist. In order not to be hidden in the snow, in order to receive more jobs, the artist will try to curry favor with the agent.

But no matter what kind of relationship it is, all managers hope that their artists can earn more, so that they can earn more.

And Kang Hui is a brilliant flower among brokers. As a realistic idealist, she can manage Chen Minhao's career in an orderly manner, but she also has her own feelings.

She doesn't care about how much money she can make, what she cares about is whether Chen Minhao can become a global superstar.

Chen Minhao believes that it is very difficult to find such a like-minded agent in this world.

Not to mention that Kang Hui's current blame skills have reached the full level.

Seeing Chen Minhao's serious face, Zhang Jianzhang didn't intend to continue discussing whether Chen Minhao's actions were right or wrong. After all, his goal today was to persuade Chen Minhao, not to have a debate match with Chen Minhao, and then win the debate against Chen Minhao.

Zhang Jianzhang sighed, lit a cigarette and asked, "Don't you think that Tian Xiang and I were so alienated from the beginning?"

Chen Minhao narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head.

Zhang Jianzhang took a puff of cigarette forcefully, exhaled a smoke ring, and talked about the past:

"More than ten years ago, in order to get some roles with lines, I chose to sign with Tianyi, and Tian Xiang had just changed from an artist assistant to a manager. At that time, my meager income had to supplement my family. At that time, Xiangjiang had The production team only cares about lunch, and the lunch boxes for dinner need to be paid for.” Zhang Jianzhang paused and said, “Because I’m poor, every time I arrive at dinner time, I pretend to go to a restaurant, but actually go out for a stroll, waiting The rest of the food is almost finished, I will come back."

Chen Minhao did not interrupt Zhang Jianzhang and continued to listen to him.

Zhang Jianzhang showed a heartfelt smile on his face, and said: "But I was discovered by Tian Xiang once. When I was young, I had a good face, and I wished I could find a crack in the ground to sneak in, but Tian Xiang pretended not to know anything. Let me breathe a sigh of relief.

But after that day, he didn't eat box lunch with the crew at night. Every night after the crew finished work, he took me to his night market shop to eat pork intestine fun. He told me that the chee cheong fun would go bad if it couldn’t be sold out that day, and it would be a waste if I didn’t eat it. I believed it at the time, and happily followed him to eat it every day. "

Zhang Jianzhang sighed and said, "But I found out later that he asked his parents to leave two bowls of chee cheong fun for us to finish work every day. He even quarreled with his father several times over this."

Zhang Jianzhang added: "I swore in my heart at that time that Tian Xiang is my brother for the rest of my life."

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, thinking: Is it the brother who stabbed his brother twice?

Zhang Jianzhang noticed Chen Minhao's expression, and explained with a smile: "Of course, he is also my brother now, and he will be my brother in the future. Even if he quits Shenmeng, I will not treat him badly in terms of money. In the future, as long as he speaks , I will do my best to help him.”

After Zhang Jianzhang took a sip of his tea, he continued: "I told you about these old sesame seeds and rotten millet to let you understand a truth: people will always change, and no matter how good brothers are, they will be born because of ideas, opinions, etc. Disagreement, even parting ways."

Chen Minhao nodded, expressing his agreement, he didn't want to comment on Zhang Jianzhang's actions. Everyone in this world has their own way of life, as long as the other party's actions are within the scope of the law, Chen Minhao feels that there is no need for him to be this "keyboard man".

He understood the moral of Zhang Jianzhang's story: brotherhood, friendship, etc. will change with time.

But Chen Minhao feels that he is not Zhang Jianzhang, and Kang Hui is not Tian Xiang. There is no kindness between the two, and the cornerstone of their cooperation is like-mindedness.

Seeing that Chen Minhao was not moved at all, Zhang Jianzhang sighed and said, "You are still young now, and you may regret today's decision in the future."

Chen Minhao didn't hesitate at all, and said decisively: "Then wait until I regret it."

Zhang Jianzhang laughed and said: "Forget it, no matter how much I say, I can't hide my old man's envy and hatred for youth. But what makes me happy is that you won't be young for too long. I hope you won't regret it now after five years decision."

Chen Minhao helped Zhang Jianzhang fill up the tea, and said: "Actually, I understand what you mean, people will change. To be honest, no one can say for sure what the future will be like. I just think that people have to live in Now. Maybe if I reject this proposal today, I will regret it five years later, but if I agree to your proposal, I guess I will start to regret it now."

Zhang Jianzhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? You stay in Shenmeng as the second shareholder, and I will not drive Kang Hui away. If Kang Hui leaves because of this, it means that your friendship is nothing more than that."

Chen Minhao chuckled, he ignored Zhang Jianzhang's instigation, he said with a smile: "But this is a betrayal of a lot of hard work in the past, Kang Hui has made a lot of hard work for me to set up an independent studio. You may not believe it if you tell me. Although there is no sign of my studio, 15% of the studio’s shares have been promised, Kanghui 10%, Wu Hanji 5%.”

Zhang Jianzhang sighed, curled his lips and said, "Actually, as long as you think about it, we can find a way to solve these problems. After all, in essence, you just want to open your own studio. There are many other things to say." It's kind of an excuse."

It has to be said that Zhang Jianzhang is quite accurate in judging people, and Chen Minhao's unwillingness to talk about this matter is in the final analysis.

If Chen Minhao is willing, Kang Hui can understand, and Wu Hanji also has a solution.

Although Chen Minhao knew that Zhang Jianzhang was throwing out a piece of fat: the second shareholder of a brokerage company with 23 debut artists and 106 undebuted trainees, Chen Minhao still wanted to become the first shareholder in his small studio.

For Zhang Jianzhang's statement, Chen Minhao chose to acquiesce. And Zhang Jianzhang also fell into silence.

Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Tian Xiang about this matter, and I won't embarrass you and Tian Xiang."

Zhang Jianzhang nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, because what I said earlier is true. I didn't drive you away because I wanted you to join Shenmeng. It's because I really disagree with his ideas. As a tool to squeeze, I don't think this is the long-term solution."

Chen Minhao thought for a while and asked, "About this issue, haven't you talked to him? You two had such a good relationship back then, how did you get to where you are today?"

Zhang Jianzhang gave a wry smile and said, "I don't know how many times the two of us have quarreled over this issue. No matter what I said, he would only stick to one sentence, 'Tianyi is more demanding on artists than we are, but Tianyi's annual The market value has been going up.'”

Although Chen Minhao didn't have much contact with Tian Xiang, he felt that Tian Xiang was also a talent if he insisted on this sentence.

Chen Minhao suddenly remembered what Zhang Jianzhang said just now, and he immediately asked, "Is this the reason why you chose to go public instead of listing on the NEEQ?"

Zhang Jianzhang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became firm: "You are really smart, and you can deduce a lot of information from a few words every time. This is indeed the reason. I think that since Tian Xiang likes to talk about the market value of listed companies so much, then I used the market value of the company to tell him that he was wrong. Let him know that using artists as tools to squeeze is not a long-term solution."

Chen Minhao was stunned, it was really like this, what kind of fairy CEO is this?

He has done so much, even at the expense of driving his brother out of the company. He is neither doing it for money nor for power. He just wants to prove that his ideas are right.

A movie king and a strong man, so terrifying.

Zhang Jianzhang felt that since the conversation didn't work out, he didn't procrastinate, so he just said goodbye and left.

Chen Minhao digested the content, reviewed the possibility of his plan, and then got up and left.

As soon as Chen Minhao walked out of the restaurant, the waiter chased him out: "Sir, you haven't paid the bill yet."

I come first: short and weak~
