This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 472 Want to go through the back door?

Outside, Lei Jiayin started talking about business after chatting with Ding Xiu for a while.

The space in the cabin is limited, and there is nothing to do when you are idle. Ding Xiu is not busy, so it is a good opportunity to talk.

After saying what he said, he pretended to be calm, but in fact he still stared at the "boss" face carefully from the corner of his eye.

Once you feel even the slightest bit dissatisfied, change the subject immediately.

"What kind of friend should you personally recommend?" Ding Xiu's face did not waver, but was filled with curiosity.

Because if you want to join the company, you can contact the artist department yourself, and some people will talk to Guo Jinfei.

It's just that it may take a little more time, and you need to do background checks, market research, and acting tests.

Have you ever been sued, have you had any taints since your debut, what is your reputation, etc.

Ding Xiu and Lei Jiayin have known each other for more than a day or two. From the time of casting to now, it has been more than half a year. Based on his understanding of Lei Jiayin, he is not a fool.

He would not be naive enough to think that it would be more useful to find him than the people in the artist department.

Indeed, with his position in the company, signing someone is just a matter of words, but only if he likes the other person or has a good relationship with him.

Leaving aside the back door, my requirements for contracted artists are actually higher than those from the artist department.

For example, the artist department considers the artist's commercial value more than their character, personal qualities, and professional abilities.

As for me, no matter how high the commercial value of the other party is, I don't like it and I won't sign the contract if I don't want to.

Lei Jiayin recommending Guo Jinfei to him is not necessarily a good thing.

'There is a play! '

Lei Jiayin quickly adjusted his mentality, sat upright, and said seriously: "Jin Fei and I were college classmates. After graduation, we joined the Demon Transformation together. His professional ability is very strong, better than mine."

"I have been in the company for so many years, and I have only had the opportunity to play the leading role a few times. However, he played the leading role within two years of joining the company. He has won many awards in the drama industry, and many seniors have recognized his professional abilities."

With that said, Lei Jiayin took out a file from the bag behind him and said, "This is his resume. Take a look at it first. I can guarantee that everything on it is true."

When Ding Xiu was reading his resume, he slowed down his speech and said with some sympathy: "Jin Fei is married, and his family needs money a lot. The salary in dramas is relatively low, so life is still a bit tight."

"After careful consideration, he decided to come out to take on some work. In addition, he admires you very much, brother Xiu, so he asked me to do this favor."

"To be honest, I have selfish reasons for recommending him. He and I are good buddies, but I can guarantee that Jin Fei has no water in his professional ability."

Ding Xiu acted as if he hadn't heard Lei Jiayin's words. He looked at his resume and said, "33 years old, one year older than me, still married, looks like, tsk tsk tsk."

Guo Jinfei's advantages are obvious. A series of awards in the drama industry can blind him.

The shortcomings are also obvious. It is rarely involved in the film and television industry and its popularity is too low.

He is old, not handsome, and has limited development prospects.

You know, a large part of the people who watch TV are students. For young people, young and handsome male artists are more marketable and can easily attract fans.

Guo Jinfei is already in his 30s. People who will be four years old in a few years will not be able to attract fans. At most, they will attract older fans.

Not to mention that there is another fatal flaw, being married.

The current fan base is still more concerned about whether their favorite idols are single or not.

There are exceptions like those teachers in the film and television industry of the island country, whose works become more popular after marriage.

Perverted fans are a minority after all.

"Harmful!"

Lei Jiayin, whose heart was half cold, refused to give up, slapped his thigh and said: "Brother Xiu, if you ask me, you are in your thirties. I can play the old at the top and the young at the bottom."

"Being married is not a big problem. At least there will be no scandals. It also shows that he is responsible for girls and is not a playboy."

"In our circle, some people are obviously married but dare not admit it. Some are scumbags with a lot of girlfriends in the name of being single..."

Ding Xiu: "..." He felt that he was offended.

Zhao Liying, who heard the conversation between the two, coughed several times in an attempt to interrupt Lei Jiayin's words.

She knew that Guo Jinfei probably wouldn't be able to get in.

"Brother Xiu, please think about it again." His voice became hoarse when he said it, and Lei Jiayin almost didn't ask for help.

Ding Xiu was calm and said seriously: "I haven't met the person, but I have read his resume. He is not suitable for Qin Chao Entertainment."

In the bedroom, Zhao Liying covered her face.

She knew that Ding Xiu was so petty.

After reacting, Lei Jiayin was puzzled: "Brother Xiu, did I say something wrong?"

"You are right, but he is not suitable for the company, and it is also your reason."

Lei Jiayin's face turned pale.

Sure enough, it's because of me, brother, I can't help you.

Leaning his back on the chair, Ding Xiu continued: "You and Guo Jinfei have similar styles. You two have the same approach."

"In other words, he can play any role you can play."

"If he comes to the company in the future and has a good role, will it be given to you or to him?"

Lei Jiayin and Guo Jingfei are similar in age, and they look the same, very capable.

The scope of acting is relatively narrow, either a comedy or a tragic drama about a middle-aged man, so there are not many options.

There are not many good scripts on the market, so it is difficult to find one that suits you.

If there is a day to choose between the two, how will they choose?

From the company's perspective, it's simple, just give it to whoever is more popular.

But from the perspective of Lei Jiayin and Guo Jinfei, it is more emotionally hurtful.

In his two lifetimes, he has seen many lovers, friends, and brothers turn against each other for profit.

There is no shortage of Guo Jinfei in the company, but Lei Jiayin definitely doesn't want to lose a friend.

That's why Ding Xiucai said that Guo Jinfei was not suitable.

"I……"

Lei Jiayin's words came to his lips and he didn't know what to say.

Give good roles to Guo Jinfei?
He doesn't seem that great himself?
Fair competition for everyone?

Don't make trouble, there is no real fairness in this industry. When fighting for roles, everyone shows off their unique skills. Those who are looking for connections are looking for connections, and those who are looking for connections are using the back door.

Or let people go through the back door.

If you don't step on your competitors, it's not bad, and it's fair. How can it be fair?

A bitter smile appeared on Lei Jiayin's face: "I didn't think carefully."

"It's good that you know." Ding Xiu nodded and said: "The relationship between company artists is not just colleagues, but often competitive relationships. If you don't want to make the relationship tense, I advise you not to attract your friends to do the same thing with you, otherwise I will I’m afraid you won’t be friends in the end.”

Lei Datou said helplessly: "I understand, thank you Brother Xiu."

"I don't have many companies under my name, including a few in the film and television industry. If he is willing, I can introduce him to another company."

As soon as the words changed, Ding Xiu gave Datou hope again.
