First, he instructed Fang Yan to sign the contract for the production team. Li Sheng handed the other management contract to Fang Yan so that he could take a closer look at it while he explained.
"I'm sure you've heard about the management company. We never planned to sign any artists to begin with. The entire company is working for Qianqian alone. This time, it was Qianqian's personal request to directly contact her mother, who is the boss of the management company, and ask to sign a contract with you. Although it turns out that Qianqian has good taste and can see that you are a very good seedling at a glance!”
That's right, in Li Sheng's opinion, Qianqian's actions at that time were purely a joke, but now it became evidence that Qianqian had good taste. At that time, he had thought that Fang Yan was just using Qianqian. Now that he looked back, he felt that Qianqian had a unique vision. She had seen through Fang Yan's potential and made a wise decision to sign him.
"However, we can't treat public and private matters the same way. No matter how good your relationship with Qianqian is, we still have to follow the rules!”
Fang Yan didn't think too much about it. Instead, she nodded at Li Sheng gratefully. Although he might be able to get a good contract by using his relationship with Qianqian, it would not be good for his character and reputation. If he did not do well, he might even leave a bad reputation in the eyes of others. On the contrary, Li Sheng's words had undoubtedly resolved the awkwardness. Even if he had a relationship with Qianqian in the future, no one could make a fuss about it and ruin his reputation.
"It's good that you understand. Actually, I can see that you're a smart person, but there's nothing wrong with saying some things.”Li Sheng cried and laughed. "What happens between you and Qianqian in the future is a matter for the future. But even though we're saying this now, we still have to consider Qianqian's feelings and not give you a bad contract.”
In his opinion, Qianqian was the only thing standing between him and Fang Yan. If he were to cheat Fang Yan, based on his current situation, the agency would definitely make a fortune in the future, but Qianqian would also be angry. Qianqian would be happy if she didn't cheat him, but Li Sheng was a little depressed! At the thought of this, Li Sheng glanced at Fang Yan gloomily. This fellow was too good at trying to curry favor. Why did he have to have such a good relationship with Qianqian? He even made things difficult for her.
"You might be a special case for our agency, so some of the rules in the industry won't apply to you!”Li Sheng looked at Fang Yan enviously. With the relationship between this guy and Qianqian, as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would very likely become Qianqian and the owner of her agency. Under such circumstances, unless he wanted to mess with Fang Yan, he definitely couldn't use the unspoken rules of the industry against him. Otherwise, it might backfire and Fang Yan would make him suffer when she gained a foothold in the future.
He wanted to see how the Cult Master, who didn't get along with Fang Yan, was doing. Having fallen out with him twice and lost his role twice, only Fang Yan had gained all the benefits. With the precedent of the Cult Master, Li Sheng did not have much confidence in dealing with this evil person. Moreover, this person looked very smart. The rules in the circle might not be effective against him.
"Therefore, the contract that the company gave you took Qianqian's feelings and your current situation into consideration. The contract is based on the standards of a B-list celebrity, and the signing fee is three million!”Li Sheng said.
"I have no objections!" How could Fang Yan not know her situation? A day ago, he was just an extra who had been running around for a long time. In a day, he had the treatment of a B-list celebrity. It was impossible for a male lead to do that, right?
Li Sheng said that he was doing this for Qianqian's sake. After all, Qianqian had taken the initiative to sign with Fang Yan. Two days ago, she had even requested to give Brother Fang Yan the same treatment as her. Fang Yan had a feeling that Li Sheng was not only taking care of Qianqian's reputation, but he was also taking his problems into consideration.
Fang Yan also had her own thoughts. Li Sheng was already looking up to him by giving him a C-list celebrity contract. Now that he had given a B-list celebrity a three-year contract, it was possible for him to do it just based on Qianqian's reputation, but it was not difficult to see that Li Sheng was taking care of him.
Men were all concerned about face, especially when it was just a girl. Qianqian's family had set up an agency to protect her, and she received the treatment of a superstar! If Fang Yan had gotten a C-list contract and used the title of a C-list celebrity to pursue Qianqian, what was going on? Stepping on Qianqian or relying on women to make a living? How many male and female celebrities in the entertainment industry broke up because of this unequal status? Moreover, the B-list contract that Li Sheng had given him was only for a three-year period. This meant that it wouldn't be difficult for Fang Yan to get a contract with an A-list celebrity after three years as long as she didn't make any mistakes. This further narrowed the disparity in status between him and Qianqian.
"Thank you, Brother Li!" Fang Yan looked at Li Sheng, who had been observing his expression. As expected, after he thanked her, Li Sheng revealed a smile on his face, as if he was saying that he would be able to tell, which confirmed Fang Yan's guess. "Brother Li, you said that entertainment companies will use some unspoken rules in the industry.。。。。。”
"I knew you would be curious about this." When Li Sheng saw Fang Yan, he felt that this person was very good at doing things. He had foresight and brains. As expected, he was even more satisfied that his painstaking efforts in the contract did not escape Fang Yan's guess. "It's a conspiracy that's similar to an overt plot. Generally speaking, young people who become celebrities will have some problems in their hearts, such as overconfidence, conceit, arrogance, etc. These are very unfavorable for the management company to control the celebrity. Therefore, when signing a celebrity, they would usually use some tricks, such as signing an artist at a high price.”
"Is it a bad thing to pay more?"
"What do you think?" Li Sheng looked at Fang Yan and smiled. This young man might be smart, but his experience was still too little. Some rules were hard to imagine if one had not come into contact with them before reaching a certain level. "After the company gives you a lot of money, they won't arrange for you to work immediately. Instead, the company will arrange for various assistants and managers to cultivate your ability to spend money extravagantly. There were some things that you couldn't reject even if you were aware of it, such as clothes, travel, and so on.”
"Why do some celebrities act so ostentatiously as soon as they become famous? They give people the feeling that they're acting like divas? Many of them did not do it out of their own will, but because they had been instilled with the wrong ideas by their managers or assistants. Spending tens of thousands on a set of clothes and only wearing it once or not wearing it at all might be eliminated after a week because it was out of date, because wearing it again would lose face, status, and identity. Is reality that exaggerated?"
"If managers don't say that, how can they cultivate the habit of spending money? As a result, the celebrities had spent their money, and they had developed the habit of only buying the most expensive things. Some bad reputations had also been spread. In the end, they had no source of income and could only reach out to the company. You should understand what happened after that?”
"Being controlled by the company and becoming a tool for them to make money!”Fang Yan smiled bitterly.
"That's right. This is actually an overt scheme. It might not be of much use to people who have been in the entertainment industry before, but for someone like you who has just entered the celebrity level, it's almost certain because you don't understand!”Li Sheng smiled.
"Have you ever thought of controlling me?”Fang Yan found it a little unbelievable. Was it because Qianqian treated him so well?
"Because you're smarter than them. I've observed you and don't think that these methods can affect you. At most, they'll just be some interference.”Li Sheng said with a strange smile. "Your temperament is much more mature than the average young man.”
What the hell, was he scolding her like a little fox? Fang Yan rolled her eyes at Li Sheng and asked curiously,""Brother Li, does the company have any plans for me in the future?”
"Actually, we didn't waste too much of our time on this because you've already planned out the path yourself.”This time, Li Sheng didn't bother to hide the strange expression on his face. He directly showed it to Fang Yan. "In other words, your future path is not arranged by us, but in your own hands. It depends on how you want to walk!”
"Are you talking about Qianqian?" Fang Yan thought for a moment and smiled bitterly at Li Sheng.
"I told you that you're a smart person!”Li Sheng also smiled bitterly. "There are some things that I didn't want to say. After all, if I did, it would seem like I was betraying my employer. However, you've already paved the road so well. Some words are like a fishbone stuck in your throat. Your fame is still too small. You didn't have any experience to promote and package yourself. Even if you're the male lead now, your resume is still too little. The foundation for you to advance to the B-list after this TV series ends is too weak.”
"So you're selling me and Qianqian together?”
"Wrong, I'm using Qianqian's reputation to bring you up!”Li Sheng gloated. "Qianqian is very popular now. As long as the positioning is correct, she will definitely be popular for a long time in the future. Using her fame to push you out to be packaged and sold, it's definitely possible. So, the key now is in your hands!”
"Don't tell me you want me to take down Qianqian?”
"Puff!" Li Sheng spat out all the water in his mouth. He pointed at Fang Yan for a long time before smiling bitterly. "If you're not afraid of death, you can do whatever you want! Let me warn you, Qianqian's parents haven't agreed to your relationship. It's good to maintain the current state. What nonsense are you thinking? You actually want to take Qianqian down?”
"Her parents created a management company for her alone. It can be seen how precious she is. You dare to mess around with her? Do you want to die?”Li Sheng smiled bitterly. "What I mean is that it's best to confirm your relationship before the end of this TV series. Then, you can get her parents 'approval! This way, it'll be easier for us to operate."
"Don't tell me that I also have the idea that you're betraying your employer!”Fang Yan, who had made a big joke of himself, pursed her lips when she saw Li Sheng looking down on her. She almost angered Li Sheng to death.
