"Tell me what you think."
Chen Chen took a sip of water to calm down and handed the stage to Ma Zhangchang.
"I have no idea." Ma Zhangzhang replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "Shen Shijing's contract is less than half a year away from the end. I think the C department has the opportunity to get such an actor, and we should work hard to fight for it."
"How should I use it after fighting for it?" Chen Chen took a deep breath, "It is not easy for an artist who has lived for thirty years and debuted for more than twenty years to use it well. Tell me what you think. ”
A top student in the Comedy and Film Department of Chung-Ang University in South Korea, he made his debut as a child star at the age of eight and as an actor at the age of fourteen. He has been exposed to TV and movies for a long time. He has impressive qualifications and a very gorgeous resume.
That's right. Compared with such a long acting career, Shin Se Kyung's personal achievements are frighteningly low.
There is no hard honor, and the less hard honors can be counted on two hands.
It's scary, it's too scary!
It is too difficult to use such an actor. If you use good resources to push her up, she most likely does not have the ability. But if you give her a bunch of rubbish resources, you will lose the face of your own company and look like rubbish.
"Be a vase." Ma Zheng did not change his tone, "There is no entertainment company that doesn't need a vase, C headquarters also needs it."
"Whether it's to save face or to exchange favors, if a script comes to you that is hard to refuse but you really can't stand it, wouldn't you be a perfect candidate if you have Shin Se Kyung?"
< br>
"And my target is not Shen Shijing, please turn the page." Ma Zhangchang added.
Chen Chen turned the page as he was told, and his eyebrows jumped involuntarily.
Then turn another page, and another page.
"What happened to NamooActors?" Chen Chen's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Why are you targeting here?"
"The company has disappointed people, so these actors all want to leave." Ma Zhangzhang was quite surprised, "Don't you know this? I thought you did."
It's not as simple as Chen Chen not knowing, he doesn't know at all, there is no wind blowing towards him!
In an instant, Chen Chen's heart sank to the bottom.
For this to happen, it can only be said that there is still a part of the South Korean entertainment industry that has not been open to C Department. Considering that the current contacts are actors, there are still many things that C Department has not been exposed to in the South Korean entertainment industry.
As an actor, his overall status is on the upper side of the circle, but not yet at the top.
Even the actor's door is not completely open to C Headquarters, and the higher-level doors will only be closed tighter.
Forget it, don’t think about this, just do what you need to do first.
"Yes, what I should understand is that I didn't do a good job." Chen Chen looked very apologetic, "There are too many things going on in the company, and even if it's such a big thing as the acting department, I can't always be distracted. ”
"Honestly, before Minister Ma came here, I didn't even pay attention to the news in the circle, so the information was always incomplete."
"But then again, thank you to Minister Ma for being willing to work for the C Department. This has helped me a lot." Chen Chen said modestly: "If I were the only one, I don't think I would be able to run the Actors Department well."
It's not surprising that Chen Chen was suddenly humble, he just realized a reality, that is, C Department is still an outright outsider in the circle of actors' agencies.
If it weren't for Arima Honbo, an "insider" who once held a high position in MBC TV station, to lead the way, Chen Chen wouldn't even know what happened to Namoo Actors, nor would he know that the company was about to experience a serious exodus of actors.
"It will definitely not be like that!" Ma Zhangzhang waved his hands repeatedly, "President Chen is a young and talented man, but he has not focused his attention on this yet. If you have time in the future, you will definitely do a thousand or ten thousand times better than me. ! ”
"Okay, let's get back to business." Chen Chen smiled, picked up a small book and started to name the actors one by one, "Lee Jun Ki's contract expires in one month, Jin Xiangqi's contract expires in one month, Shin Se Kyung By May, by Ji Sung by August, by Moon Chae Won by September, and by Park Min Young by the end of the year, is this our goal? ”
"This is our goal at NamooActors." Ma Zhangzhang gestured: "Please scroll back again."
Chen Chen then looked down and saw two more actors.
One is Moon Jinying, who everyone sometimes calls Moon Geunying. She has not signed a contract with a new entertainment company since leaving Namoo Actors.
The other one is Im Siwan. Although his contract has not expired, there are reports that he is currently negotiating with PLUMA&C about renewing the contract and there is a chance to get him.
"There are too many people in the South Korean entertainment industry. Every month, many artists face contract signing and contract renewal issues, and many of them are names that you often hear." Ma Zhangzhang said slowly, "The reason why I only listed There are so many people out there, not because they are the only ones in the circle talking about signing or renewing contracts, but because the C headquarters has a greater chance of getting them.”
"Actors have more freedom and are less restricted by the company. On the contrary, they are not so dependent on the company."
"After all, new actors have the opportunity to actively audition, and mature actors will also have the opportunity to be nominated by the production team."
"In other words, although C Department is very strong, with powerful resources, strong backers, and an admirable boss, this is not a reason for actors to sign a contract with C Department."
"And the C department also has its own small problem, that is, it is not professional enough."
"You are too young, and there are no seniors who take the initiative to lead you as actors. The management of actors is completely based on your whims, so the appearance of Department C presented to the actors is very unprofessional."
< br>
"Of course, this is just a small deduction, not fatal."
"Generally speaking, Department C is still the agency that many actors desire. Once the door is opened, actors will definitely flock to it." Ma Zhangzhang looked at the list in Chen Chen's hand, "So these people I put on the list, we won The probability is at least 50%.”
"Isn't the 50% probability a bit low?" Chen Chen frowned, "Can you find a way to make it higher?"
"That's why I put Shin Se Kyung first." Ma Zhangzhang said with a smile: "She has high qualifications and is beautiful, but she is not outstanding enough. She is the most difficult actor to deal with."
"I understand." Chen Chen continued, "If we can make her beautiful enough, her colleagues at NamooActors will also be moved by it."
"Yes, but we must be fast." Ma Zhangzhang reminded: "Lee Jun-ki and Jin Xiangqi are the super big fish in March!"
"I won't talk about Lee Jun-ki. He is a very famous actor no matter where he is. I think the president must know him. At least he has heard of his name and seen his works."
"The focus is on Jin Xiangqi, a post-2000 actor with huge potential!"
"Blue Dragon won the Best Supporting Actress Award and was nominated for the Best Actress at the Baeksang Arts Awards. If the C department can get her, we can expect to have a Grand Prize-winning actress in the next few years." Ma Zhangzhang now started to paint Chen Chen's cake. Yes, one painting makes her a movie queen.
"Well, I also think there is hope." Chen Chen responded and looked at the next person, "What do you think of Chi Sheng in August? Is it necessary for us to get this first-line actor who can compete with TV series ratings?"
"Do you want him?" Ma Zhangzhang glanced at Chen Chen hesitantly, "In my opinion, our C headquarters doesn't have much need for him."
"I think so too." Chen Chen hummed, "First of all, the prices of male actors and actresses are not on the same level. The price of signing Chi Sheng may be enough for us to sign two actresses of the same level. .”
"Furthermore, Chi Sheng's influence is mainly in the TV series, and his personal honors are not very hard. The benefits he brings to the C department are smaller than those of actors of the same level, or even much smaller."
"C's TV drama brand is much stronger than Chi Sheng's. There is no need to coat the gold with a worthless silver coating."
"I am more inclined to skip Chi Sheng and pursue Park Minying who will follow." Chen Chen couldn't help laughing when talking about this. "This one is even more exaggerated in TV dramas. The roles he plays have almost left a fixed impression on people, but It’s amazing that the audience is still buying it.”
Park Min Young is like this. She just needs to act casually in urban dramas, and the audience has a lot to think about.
"I have no objection to what Chi Sheng and Park Min Young said, but you seem to have skipped Moon Chae Won." Ma Zhangzhang asked curiously: "Why?"
"After Moon Chae-won signed a contract with Namoo Actors, she was almost bound to the actors of Namoo Actors for activities. Such a resume makes me not so reassured." Chen Chen replied: "C Headquarters will not give her such an opportunity, and there will be no such action. Plan.”
"There are no male actors in the C department. I'm afraid it will be difficult to act even if you want to be moved, right?" Ma Zhangzhang joked.

"Can't you just sign Ren Shiwan over? You talk a lot!" Chen Chen laughed and cursed twice.
"Ren Siwan is in some trouble." Ma Zhangzhang's expression darkened. "He has a very good relationship with PLUMA&C, and their cooperation is even closer. The news that came out this time also said that they had advanced the contract renewal negotiations before it was time. Discussions about contract renewal have started, and both parties are very positive.”
"No, true intimacy and true two-way running will not leak such news to you." Chen Chen shook his head, "Either it's a smoke bomb, or he wants to raise the price, or he's just sitting still and waiting for the price. And Gu.”
"Let's make it the key target to conquer." Chen Chen instructed: "Ren Shiwan is worth it."
"Leave it to me." The smile on Ma Zhangzhang's face showed his confidence, "Lee Jun-ki, Kim Hyang-ki, Shin Se-kyung, Park Min-young, Moon Jin-young, and Im Si-wan, I will bring at least half of them back to you this year."
"Thank you so much, Director Ma." Chen Chen couldn't help but smack his lips, "It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to be a top actor. I really want one."
"Don't have such a dream for the time being. The top actors are not circulated. In other words, the top actors almost no longer need to rely on the company." Ma Zhangzhang said with a venomous mouth, "Unless Boss Chen has a relationship with others. It’s so good, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to get affiliated with it.”
"Okay, okay." Chen Chen glanced at him sideways, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, just get to work!"
"There is one last thing I want to talk about." Ma Zhangzhang said: "APink Naeun is also an actress, and her contract is about to expire. And the contracts of the two SISTAR signed Soy Sauce Bottles are also coming soon. Do you have If you are interested"
"Not interested." Chen Chen interrupted him, "Bringing this half-baked actor over will increase my burden."
"You are indeed a wise and powerful president!" Ma Zhangzhang flattered him, "You are truly the most outstanding president I have ever seen!"
Chen Chen was speechless and flicked his wrist twice to tell him to leave quickly and stop being annoying here.
"Then I'll get busy." Ma Zhangzhang nodded to Chen Chen, "Time is tight. When I need resource support, please be sure to provide support as soon as possible."
"Don't worry." Chen Chen responded: "C Headquarters will not hold you back."
……
After Ma Benchang left, Chen Chen sat on the chair for a while. He needed time to digest the surprise and shock that Ma Benchang brought to him.
There is nothing much to say about the surprise. It brought so much news about the actors and showed off their outstanding abilities.
Look at other people, people within the circle of actors and agents are very well-informed, they know everything that should be known and what should not be known, and they can also capture the parts that are useful to the company from this information.
He didn't hesitate to do anything and did it himself. Before, Chen Chen would have had to go and talk to the actors himself.
Oh no, Chen Chen didn't have that chance because he didn't know the situation of these actors.
Chen Chen probably just got the news that the actor's contract had expired, and when he was about to contact him, he signed a contract with a new company.
It's bitter, but very true.
Frightened, the truth slapped Chen Chen hard.
The South Korean entertainment industry is not something you can do just by having money and resources. Human connections here are also very important. Without connections, you can only get twice the result with half the effort.
Think about it, if there was no news about Ma Zhang, how much money and resources would C Department have to spend to get these actors? What kind of scapegoat could be so playful as to pull off such a trick? !
What's more, Director Ma said that at least half of these actors will be brought to the C headquarters, which is really amazing.
"There are benefits to signing something old." Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It's really hard to get into some circles unless someone leads the way."
"And then"
"If you are not one of the top artists, it would be more cost-effective to look directly at the casting agency than to look at the actors alone."
A problem with NamooActors can bring such huge benefits to C Headquarters. How wonderful would it be if there were no problems and it was directly acquired by C Headquarters?
Or instead of looking at the parts that are too far away, Chen Chen should just look at KEYEAST that is close to him.
If only he could get KEYEAST. Tsk, tsk, Chen Chen would be drooling.
But, if you want KEYEAST, you have to work for a stupid company again, which means that the bad relationship with the stupid company continues.
Haha, that’s pretty good. It’s not over yet. Adding another number makes it even more enjoyable.
