First, he instructed Fang Yan to sign the contract for the production team. Li Cheng 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 don't have any plans to sign any artistes. The entire company works for Yi 'er alone. This time, it was Yi 'er's personal request to directly contact her mother, who is the boss of the agency, to sign a contract with you. Although the facts have proved that Yi' er has good taste and can see that you are a very good seedling at a glance!”
In Li Cheng's opinion, Yi 'er's actions that were purely mischievous at that time had now become evidence that Yi' er had good judgment. At that time, he had thought that Fang Yan was just using Yi 'er. Now that he looked back, he felt that Yi' er had a unique vision. She had seen through Fang Yan's potential at a glance and wanted to sign him no matter what.
"However, public and private matters can't be treated the same way. No matter how good your relationship with Yi 'er is, we still have to follow the rules!”
Fang Yan didn't think too much about it. Instead, she nodded gratefully at Li Cheng. Although he might be able to get a good contract by using his relationship with Yi 'er, it would not be good for his character and face. If he did not do well, he might even have a bad reputation in the eyes of others for relying on women to get to the top. On the contrary, Li Cheng's words had undoubtedly resolved this awkwardness. Even if he had a super friendship relationship with Yi 'er in the future, others could not use this to 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 Cheng laughed and cried. "What will happen between you and Yi 'er in the future is a matter for the future. However, even though we are saying this now, we still have to consider Yi' er's feelings and not give you a bad contract.”
From his point of view, Yi 'er was the barrier 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 Yi' er would also be angry. Yi 'er would be happy if she didn't cheat him, but Li Cheng was a little depressed! At the thought of this, Li Cheng glanced at Fang Yan gloomily. This fellow was too good at trying to curry favor. Why did he have to be on such good terms with Yi 'er? 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 Cheng looked at Fang Yan enviously. With this fellow's current relationship with Yi 'er, as long as nothing unexpected happened, it was very likely that he would become the owner of Yi' er and her management company in the future. 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.
How was the blogger who didn't get along with Fang Yan doing? Having fallen out with Fang Yan twice and lost his role twice, only Fang Yan had gained all the benefits. With the precedent of the blogger, Li Cheng didn't have much confidence in dealing with this evil person. Moreover, this person looked very smart. The rules in the industry might not be effective against him.
"Therefore, the contract that the company gave you fully took into account Yi 'er's feelings and your current situation. The contract is based on the standards of a B-list celebrity, and the signing fee is three million!”Li Cheng 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 Cheng said that he was giving Yi 'er face. After all, Yi' er was the one who took the initiative to sign Fang Yan. Two days ago, she even requested to give Brother Fang Yan the same treatment as her. Fang Yan felt that Li Cheng was not only taking Yi 'er's face into consideration, but he was also considering his problem.
Fang Yan also had her own thoughts. Li Cheng 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 to do it just based on Yi 'er's reputation, but it was not difficult to see that Li Cheng was taking care of him.
Men were all concerned about face, especially when it was just a girl. Yi 'er's family had founded a management company to protect her alone, and she had 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 Yi 'er, what was going on? Stepping on Yi 'er 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? Furthermore, the B-list contract that Li Cheng had given him was only for three years. This meant that it wouldn't be difficult for Fang Yan to get an A-list celebrity contract after three years as long as she didn't make any mistakes. This further narrowed the disparity in status between him and Yi 'er.
"Thank you, Brother Li!" Fang Yan looked at Li Cheng, who had been observing his expression. As expected, after he thanked her, Li Cheng revealed a smile on his face, as if he was saying that he would be able to tell, which further 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." Li Cheng had thought that Fang Yan was very good at doing things. She had foresight and brains. As expected, he was even more satisfied that his painstaking efforts in the contract did not avoid Fang Yan's speculations. "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 Cheng 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 Cheng laughed.
"Have you ever thought of controlling me?”Fang Yan found it a little unbelievable. Was Yi 'er that good to him?
"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 Cheng 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 Cheng 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 Cheng 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 Yi 'er?" Fang Yan pondered for a moment before smiling bitterly at Li Cheng.
"I told you that you're a smart person!”Li Cheng 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 guys are selling me and Yi 'er in a bundle?”
"Wrong, I'm using Yi 'er's reputation to guide you!”Li Cheng gloated. "Yi 'er 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 Yi 'er down?”
"Puff!" Li Cheng spat out the water in his mouth and 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, Yi 'er'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 Yi 'er 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 Cheng 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 huge joke out of himself, pursed his lips when he saw Li Cheng looking down on him. Li Cheng was almost angered to death.
