Chapter 497: Arrogant
Zhang Jingwen grew up in a wealthy family, and her parents and family loved her in every possible way. This developed her character of having a high self-esteem and being arrogant.
She has enjoyed the feeling of being noticed, envied, pursued and looked up to since she was a child.
Starting from theatrical performances in elementary school, and then in junior high school, high school, and college, she has always been the focus of attention.
For this reason, she has always wanted to be a star since high school. However, her family had always been opposed to it, forcing her to finish college before finally giving in after she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. The family first provided her with money to build her a personal studio, and then gave her five million to start it. Funds, let her work hard on her own.
If she succeeds, her family will not object to her being in the entertainment industry. But if she fails, her family will not give her any more money. It is best to find a serious career as soon as possible and then find a good husband.
She was very lucky at the beginning. The first TV series she officially debuted and started filming was chosen to be "The Dream of Immortality", she joined the cast with money, became the heroine, and became an instant hit.
At that time, her confidence in her acting career had greatly increased, and she was confident that she could become one of the best female artists in the country, and even become famous internationally and become an international star in the future. For this reason, she had plans to start learning spoken English.
As a result, she continued her efforts to film a second TV series, but it has not been successfully broadcast so far. The third one was successfully released, but it received such bad reviews that it almost lost the popularity she had accumulated with the audience. Light.
At this time, she had already spent seven or eighty-eight dollars of what she had earned before, and even the pocket money she had saved over the years, and was no longer able to bring in more money to join the cast to film the next movie. TV series. Of course, it is impossible for her to be the heroine in other people's film and television projects, even if it is the second and third female lead, it will be difficult.
Her family began to try to persuade her to find a serious career. For example, the family would give her money to open a clothing company or cosmetics company, or simply attend some social gatherings to find a rich husband to marry as soon as possible.
But the suggestions and arrangements from her family were not what she wanted. She just wants to be a star and enjoy the kind of public figure that is admired and focused by countless people.
So, she is very eager to open another drama, let her be the heroine, and then make her famous quickly, even more famous than before. She wanted to prove to her family and those who looked down on her that Zhang Jingwen was not a shooting star, but an increasingly dazzling star.
She will continue to be popular, very popular.
It is because of this persistence and vision that she now really wants to seize this opportunity so that Chen Feng, a guy she originally hated, can help her.
It's a pity that Chen Feng is completely ignorant. She completely refused to accept her claim for compensation.
He also behaved frivolously and said such rude words that irritated her.
But I thought about her family’s opposition to her continuing her acting career, and those people who openly and implicitly mocked her acting skills, and those who kept belittling her and looking down on her.
She finally resisted the urge to get angry and suppressed the anger in her heart.
"If I were rich, would I still ask you for help?" Although Zhang Jingwen held back her anger, she did not have a good face to show it to Chen Feng. She had never deliberately tried to please Chen Feng since she was a child. I am alone and have almost never begged anyone. It can be said that I have no experience in this area.
"Then if you just want to be my lover and want me to flatter you, this is a bit difficult. It will take at least a year and a half to satisfy me."
Chen Feng said seriously. said.
Zhang Jingwen resisted the urge to step forward and scratch his face hard, and said with a straight face: "If I am willing to be someone's lover, will it be your turn? There are people lining up crying and begging me to film. Send me money.”
Chen Feng was not angry, but nodded in recognition and said, "What you said is true. Then our deal will not be concluded."
Chen Feng spread his hands and looked helpless. look like.
Zhang Jingwen stared at Chen Feng with cold eyes. After a while, she slowly said: "I can sign in your company. I can give you the maximum profit share in terms of revenue sharing, but you must promise to arrange it for me every year." A film and television drama with an investment of at least 50 million."
When Chen Feng heard her words, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Do you know how many second- and third-rate celebrities are out there now? Are you crying and begging to switch to our company? Especially those whose contracts with the original company are about to expire, and even some who are still within the contract period want to pay the penalty to jump to our company. Our company all rejected it."
Zhang Jingwen really wants to say that she is not a second- or third-rate star, but she also knows that with her current popularity, it is somewhat far-fetched to insist that she is a first-rate star.
"I don't need a signing bonus, and I'm even willing to only take 30% of the revenue share. In addition, I can sign a five-year long-term contract with your company." Zhang Jingwen gritted her teeth slightly and said.
When Chen Feng heard that she was willing to take only 30%, he was somewhat surprised. No matter how she said it, she was famous in the beginning. She is not a first-rate star, but she is definitely a second-rate star. Generally, at this level, the contract signed with the company is at least 50%, or even 60%.
She now says she will only get 30%, and judging from what she means, she will get 30% for five years, which is a big profit.
For a moment, Chen Feng, who was originally joking and teasing, couldn't help but become serious. After all, if she really meant it, she would be sincere.
And her appearance is also very good, and she became famous last year. As for her current fame, Chen Feng is not very clear, but as long as she does not collapse, if their company can train her again, she will be The money tree still has a lot to offer.
"Are you serious? Really you only get 30%? Five years in a row?" Chen Feng asked seriously.
Zhang Jingwen gritted her teeth secretly, nodded and said: "Yes. I can only get 30% of the income for five consecutive years, but the conditions are as I just said, during these five years, your company must Every year, I am asked to be the heroine of at least one film and television drama with an investment of more than 50 million.”
Chen Feng frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Your conditions are still a bit high. Projects with an investment of more than 50 million are not just available. 50 million per year, more than 200 million in five years..."
Zhang Jingwen interrupted him and said: "I just want me to be the director of the investment company with an investment of 50 million yuan." The heroine of the TV series does not have to be invested by your company. It can be jointly invested by you and other companies, or simply invested by other investors. As long as you have the ability to let me be the heroine. "
After hearing this, Chen Feng found it hard to make a decision. After all, he, the boss of a film and television company, is not a professional.
So, Chen Feng said: "I am personally quite interested in your condition. But I have to discuss the details with people in the company. I will not be able to reply to you until later."
Seeing that Chen Feng did not refuse, Zhang Jingwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and her face looked a little better. She nodded slightly and said, "I hope you can give me a clear answer in the next two days."
"Okay. I'll call a few senior executives of my company later to discuss it with them and get back to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, add my WeChat account."
Zhang Jingwen took the initiative to pick up her phone and opened the QR code for him to scan.
Seeing this, Chen Feng took out his phone and scanned it, adding her as a friend. "Okay. I'll try to give you an answer within today."
"Yeah." Zhang Jingwen nodded, then stood up. After a pause, she said again, "If you sign me, I'm sure I can make you money, a lot of money. I believe in you when I starred in "The Dream of Immortality" last year. You should know that my reputation is comparable to that of an A-list celebrity. Although my reputation has declined somewhat this year, it is still limited. I still have tens of millions of fans. If I endorse any product, the endorsement fee will be tens of millions."
Chen Feng ruthlessly exposed: "Then you just said that you have no money?"
Zhang Jingwen immediately said with a bad face: "I invested in two TV series this year, and both of them lost money in the end. , most of the money I earned before has been posted. Besides, I won’t accept any advertisement just to make money.”
“Your family must be rich, right?” Chen Feng asked tentatively.
Zhang Jingwen said frankly: "My family is rich, but no one in my family supports me becoming a star."
Chen Feng nodded with some relief and said, "Okay then. If nothing unexpected happens, our company is willing to sign you. But I can't guarantee it. I have to discuss it with several senior executives of my company before we can decide."
"Then I'll wait for your news."
Zhang Jingwen didn't stay any longer, and walked towards the door after finishing speaking.
Chen Feng was rarely polite when he saw this: "Why don't you sit down for a while."
Zhang Jingwen rolled her eyes at him, letting him figure it out on his own, and then continued in silence. He walked to the door loudly, opened the door, and finally closed it with a loud bang.
This girl is obviously still resentful of him. If he really signs her into the company, I wonder if it will cause any trouble.
However, Zhang Jingwen's external conditions are really good, especially her costume is very stunning, and she is also very photogenic.
The plot of the original movie "A Dream of Immortal Fate" was actually very average, even a bit bloody. Her acting skills can only be said to be at the pass level, but her appearance in ancient costumes is so beautiful that most of them The audience is looking at her face, not the plot.
That’s why she became famous with this TV series.
As for why her popularity has declined this year, Chen Feng is not very clear, but it has to do with the fact that she lost two TV series.
Therefore, her potential is still great. After signing her, it is not difficult to make money.
From the perspective of a boss and a capitalist, Chen Feng is still more willing to sign her. As for his personal grudge, as long as it doesn't affect his ability to make money, he doesn't seem to need to worry too much about it. Anyway, he basically doesn't go to the company. Even if she signs a contract with his company, there won't be many opportunities to meet each other.
After thinking about this, Chen Feng called Lu Sijia and told Zhang Jingwen in detail.
Lu Sijia didn’t expect that Chen Feng actually knew Zhang Jingwen. After hearing what Chen Feng said, she thought about it and said, "I know her. Personally, she is too thoughtful. She is very arrogant and behaves like a wealthy lady. Her personality is a bit unruly and willful. I am afraid that if the company signs her, she will not obey the company's control. , it is difficult for the company to control her. Her family is quite powerful in Xiuzhou. If she gets into trouble with our company, our company may be in some trouble."
"What does her dad do? And she also has an uncle, who is Zhang Qibo, and what does he do?" Chen Feng, of course, didn't notice Lu Sijia and asked him directly.
Lu Sijia said in surprise: "Since you know her uncle's name, don't you know what he does?"
"She told me her uncle's name. I really don't know who he is."< br>
Lu Sijia was stunned After a moment, he said truthfully: "Her uncle is the vice president of our Xiuzhou City, and her father is the boss of Dingsheng Real Estate. The Hongshu Bay you live in now seems to have been developed by her family."
Even though Chen Feng was mentally prepared, he was still a little shocked. This is really a great story!
However, Chen Feng was not afraid. Anyway, this time it was Zhang Jingwen who begged her, not the other way around.
"What do you mean? Do you want to sign her?" Chen Feng asked calmly.
After Lu Sijia was silent for a while, she said: "My opinion is not to sign. Signing her may make our company a lot of money, but it may also bring a lot of trouble to our company. Anyway, our company Now I have cultivated stars, and And with limited resources, there is no need to sign an established star like her."
"Okay, I understand."
Now that Lu Sijia has given it. She suggested that Chen Feng didn't say anything more to her.
In his heart, he somewhat agreed, but he also felt that it was a pity to give up Zhang Jingwen's money tree.
Of course, the final decision on whether to sign or not rests with the boss, Chen Feng. Lu Sijia, the general manager, still cannot count.
Chen Feng then called Wu Mengting and told her about Zhang Jingwen, Zhang Jingwen's unruly and willful character, her family background, Lu Sijia's suggestion not to sign, and then Just asked her opinion.
After hearing this, Wu Mengting didn't hesitate much and said directly: "I think you can sign. Sijia's concerns are understandable, but we can't give up because of choking. It is obvious that signing her will make money for our company, and It's a lot of money, why should we refuse? As long as she actually signs a contract with us, plus hundreds of millions of liquidated damages, we are not afraid of her temper.
As long as she can make money for our company. With money, our company can support her and coax her, and even change the contract if necessary. In addition, since her family has such a powerful background, signing her is equivalent to finding a backer for our company. If there are any troubles in our company in the future, her family can help solve them through her relationship. It would be a pity if this relationship is not used. "
Chen Feng was somewhat convinced by Wu Mengting.
However, he did not make a decision right away. Then he called Sun Xiaorui for advice.
As a result, Sun Xiaorui’s suggestion was not to sign the contract. The reason was similar to Lu Sijia’s. She believed that the current cutting-edge film and television industry was already profitable enough, and Zhang Jingwen who could make more money would not be much. Instead, signing her might become a It's a time bomb that will bring trouble to the company, so just don't sign it.
It seemed to make sense, and Chen Feng was a little undecided for a while.
However, this is not a problem for Chen Feng. When everything is uncertain, just ask the coin.
It was also very magical. There was a ready-made coin on the coffee table in the living room. He went over to pick it up, thinking about signing the heads and not signing the tails. Then he quickly threw the coin into the air, rolled it, and then caught it. in hand.
