Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years Chapter 219 - 216 All Our Own People! (Request for Monthly P

This industry is too dirty; even good girls find it hard to stick to their principles once inside. Moreover, even if the girl herself can maintain them, the agents and companies around her, and even family mbers who see her as a money maker, will be the last straw that breaks the cal's back.

I heard there's sothing called b2y in Singapore.

The older sister is still quite a normal person, but the younger sister will stop at nothing to be famous and make money. It's one thing for her to sleep around herself, but she insists on forcing her sister too. If refused, she administers drugs and locks the door.

After all, twins are quite interesting.

"We don't ask for her to beco wildly popular; it's enough if she can support herself. Nowadays, there are many children, and competition is fierce. It's hard to stand out in any industry."

Zhao Jinmai's mom understood Qi Hao's intentions.

Lately, the couple discussed most about how to plan their child's future.

Generally speaking, the best plan for a seven-year-old now is to study well.

Even if they sign up for classes, the primary focus should be on interest.

But Zhao Jinmai is different.

She has beco a child star.

A child star with significant roles.

And she stars in a film by top celebrities and erging director Qi Hao.

The movie hasn't aired yet, but Zhao Jinmai has already beco a dia sensation, with so outlets even contacting their workplace and school for interviews.

How exactly did this little girl get picked by Qi Hao?

It's said she was chosen exceptionally, even younger than the initial nine-year-old audition age by two years.

More laughable is that soone even sent over scripts inviting Zhao Jinmai to play roles in their films or TV shows.

So scripts seem utterly inappropriate.

It's like they didn't have this role initially, but just shoved one in to make Zhao Jinmai act.

They think it's beautiful.

Once Qi Hao makes the young girl popular, they'll use her participation for promotion, thereby boosting ticket sales or ratings.

Unashadly, they might even hype Qi Hao's interaction with the little girl.

Nowadays dia fabricates stories, even making up dialogues.

It's like they're hiding under the bed when people are talking.

Before her debut, Zhao Jinmai has already gained so notoriety. Since choosing this path, it's best to plan accordingly.

However, her parents realized there's actually little to plan.

Plan well for study, in the future apply to Central Academy or Beijing Film Academy.

You ask why not apply to Shanghai Theatre Academy…

Shen City is just too damn far from the northeast, they'd never feel safe.

Then let their daughter follow the teachers and properly learn acting.

Their class's instructor, Guo Limin, is quite skilled, locally reputable, and often invited by so film crews to direct actors.

Lastly, a very important point.

Even Guo Limin suggested taking this matter seriously.

Agency!

They lack both capital background and connections, and to establish in the entertainnt industry signing with an agency is almost inevitable.

"Can our Mai Mai sign under your company, Teacher Qi Hao?"

After so chat, Zhao Jinmai's mom finally voiced her thoughts.

She valued Qi Hao's capability and his character, evident in many details about the kind of person Qi Hao is.

According to crew rules, if work ends before six, the crew doesn't provide supper.

But in Qi Hao's crew, even if filming ends at five, he arranges dinner for everyone.

Thus extras go ho without spending on als.

Moreover, Qi Hao never shows favoritism in the crew; he eats the sa as other actors and staff.

If a staff mber is sick and can't work, he still pays them after confirmation.

Details determine everything.

Especially his current status, treating ordinary people reveals character more.

Zhao Jinmai's mom is a teacher, skilled at judging people.

Good kids or bad kids are evident at a glance.

"I never thought of accepting people, no agency business in my studio."

Qi Hao shook his head. He encouraged Zhao Jinmai, often chatting with her, playing the role of a kindly uncle, not because he particularly liked the girl, but to better direct the film.

"Well... In Mai Mai's situation, does Teacher Qi Hao have any agency recomndations?"

Being refused was expected.

Zhao Jinmai's mom wouldn't insist on Qi Hao; she decided to settle for asking Qi Hao's advice.

Qi Hao debuted twelve years ago, spent three years struggling at the bottom as a minor actor, then eight years as a famous leading man, fad beyond asure, going on to be crowned the film emperor, and successfully transitioned to directing.

In this aspect, any expert pales in comparison to Qi Hao.

Moreover, Qi Hao is at least well-disposed towards their Mai Mai, giving recomndations earnestly.

"Recomndation..."

Qi Hao initially thought seriously about which agency to endorse, then the more he thought, the less he recalled.

Mrs. Hua, Chengtian, Light, Bern...

Nowadays so large companies also engage in agency business, not to ntion various agencies big and small.

Qi Hao has interacted extensively with these companies' people over the years.

If he wanted to introduce soone, it would be easy to introduce Zhao Jinmai.

However...

They're all damn birds of a feather!

You ask if you're scared of the entertainnt circle's unwritten rules, is there a boss who prefers n?

Forget it, big shots having preferences for n or won are more discretionary than what's for breakfast today.

I feel like trying girls today, what's the matter with that?

Since male bosses are unsafe, how about finding a female boss?

You're just too naive.

There's not just resource exchange between the big shots; they often exchange won too.

For resources, the company can completely gift various won to capital.

That ans even if you go drink and sleep with them, the resources might not end up coming to you.

Can't possibly send the company's top female artist to accompany them, right?

Even Fan Xuexue's studio is recruiting artists, and even Wang Xueqi was signed by her, but Qi Hao never intended to introduce her there.

This woman is not simple, she has close ties with many big shots.

Do the big shots fancy the tea she brews, enjoy her heavenly singing, or are they soulmates?

Either it's a physical transaction, or they're doing shady deeds for her.

Like laundry for gold coins.

You say Zhao Jinmai is young, so there's no need to worry about these issues for the ti being.

...

Can't even call you naive anymore.

After many years in the business, Qi Hao has always been unafraid to speculate on the worst intentions of people in the entertainnt industry.

So, he was conflicted.

If sothing went wrong with the introduction, although Qi Hao wasn't afraid of being blad, his conscience would be uneasy.

"Teacher Qi Hao?"

Zhao Jinmai's mom was puzzled. Why does getting him to introduce a suitable managent company seem harder than having a child?

"Sigh, why not just sign with my studio!"

Qi Hao said weakly.

Damn, this world is really tough, no matter how you pick, none of them are reassuring.

If it were any other female star besides An Feng, Qi Hao wouldn't be this easy to talk to.

Even his other friends wouldn't do.

After over ten years in the circle, Qi Hao had already seen too much of the complex human nature.

But Zhao Jinmai is still young, and after all, he brought her into this circle, and with these few days of interaction, he inexplicably felt a bit of responsibility.

Not much, but enough to give her so protection.

For Qi Hao now, signing a young artist is not a significant effort; it's just sothing he did conveniently.

"Ah...thank you, Teacher Qi Hao!"

Zhao Jinmai's mom was very surprised. She had asked Qi Hao to recomnd, as a second option, hoping her daughter could join Qi Hao's company.

"Later, you can contact Old Tian, just talk to him."

Qi Hao took out a business card and handed it to Zhao Jinmai's mom.

Though signing Zhao Jinmai was a simple matter, in the business world, how to draft the contract and plan the future route should be handled by professionals.

A big boss like him wouldn't ddle in such matters.

As for whether Zhao Jinmai would receive any special treatnts, that would depend on how dark Old Tian's heart is.

At most, he can ensure that Zhao Jinmai won't be coveted by anyone here, won't have any roles snatched away by anyone, and won't be slandered without the ability to fight back.

Zhao Jinmai's mom did not delay at all.

As for her daughter's safety on set—the daughter's boss is on set, what safety concerns are there?

Moreover, this movie is a project of our own company.

Everyone's on our side!

Old Tian was also troubled.

Damn it... weren't we not supposed to be involved in the broker business?

If you want to make money in the managent business, you have to be ruthless, and being too ruthless easily incurs retribution, leading to an early demise.

Our film business is thriving, so why get involved in the managent sector.

Signing one Zhao Jinmai is okay, but once you open this door, there might be a continuous stream of people wanting to sign with Qi Hao Studio.

Don't need to say much, just the resources on Qi Hao's side are enough to make a lot of people envious.

Hmm, maybe they could even sign ten or eight of Qi Hao's forr rumored girlfriends.

However, since Qi Hao has already spoken, even if Old Tian wants to curse, he can only sign Zhao Jinmai first before saying anything else.

Ten-year contract!

After ten years, sign if you want to.

The contract period appears very long, long enough to rival the most unfair slavery contracts in the entertainnt industry.

In fact, Zhao Jinmai's mom even thinks it's short.

After all, her daughter is only seven years old now; ten years later, she'll just be seventeen.

The maximum duration of a managent contract does not have a unified legal mandatory provision and is generally determined through negotiation based on the specific situation of both parties.

Usually, it's between 3 to 10 years.

Even if you want it longer, it's impossible.

The profit-sharing follows market standards and is definitely not harsh, but there's nothing exceptional either.

Since they signed, they must invest funds and manpower.

These all require money.

Old Tian doesn't plan to make money off Zhao Jinmai, but neither should they expect him and Qi Hao to lose money supporting soone else's child.

They can't even feed their own Ao Bai regularly.

No choice, last week Ao Bai went for a health check-up at the pet hospital, and the doctor said it was overweight and had to lose weight, or it could easily develop heart disease.

Ao Bai was pissy with them, but its food was still cut back.

Now it eats erratically, nostalgically recalling the days when Qi Hao's dad was ho.
