Become a Tokyo Showgirl

When Qianhua looked back on her filming experience in the past few months with some shock, she realized that...

Apart from Goshidai Mari and Yuko, who I have known for a long time, I and the crew have a good relationship with Iruma Kazume.

Of course, the others are not badly related, but to be honest, they are just two words, and they are not familiar with each other.

It is indeed unfamiliar.

It's not that she wants to keep a distance from other people, but that everyone is naturally maintaining a safe social distance...even if she tries her best to act as a lubricant for the crew to make everyone's relationship better, But everyone really regards her as a tool person to lubricate the atmosphere of the crew, and will not have further in-depth friendship with her.

In Japanese society, such a workplace atmosphere is generally the norm.

Especially for actors, who have one crew after another and don't have a fixed workplace, this may be even more normal.

Qianhua has always believed that meeting by chance is a good fate, but many things can't be forced.

It may be difficult to have the harmonious and intimate atmosphere of the Baiyue crew before.

"In the future, I will gradually get used to this kind of thing..." After the dinner party, walking home with Yuko, Qianhua thought with some emotion.

Duwai>group&

beep...beep beep...

Just when Qianhua was sighing for the dull ending of the crew of "Uncertain Girls' Emotions", suddenly, the phone rang.

She quickly took out her mobile phone, only to find that it was Jiutiao's manager calling.

"Moshi, Moshi, Kujo-san?"

"It's me." Jiutiao's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "Come to the office."

"Now?" Qian Hua felt a little surprised, "But I just finished filming..."

"It's because the filming is over that I called you here. I know that you guys are wrapping up today."

The time now is 10:[-] p.m.

Logically speaking, it was time for Kujo to get off work.

"Okay... I'll come right away." Although she was a little surprised, Qianhua still agreed to Jiutiao's request.

Hearing Qianhua's reply, Jiutiao hung up the phone directly.

Yuko, who was following Qianhua, sighed helplessly: "That's what Jiutiao is like. She's so neurotic. She called you for an interview in the middle of the night last time. She is a workaholic herself, but she feels like asking others to do the same. It's kind of weird."

"Let me go with you. It's not safe for a girl to be outside alone at night."

"Well, okay, thank you."

Then, the two of them took a taxi and went to Campbell's office together.

Yuko waited outside, while Qianhua went in to find Jiujo by herself.

As soon as he entered the door, the first sentence of Jiu Tiao was: "I came to you today to discuss the contract."

Qianhua immediately remembered what Yuko said to herself some time ago.

Campbell's office is used to requesting early renewal of the newcomer's contract around the first anniversary after entering the office, and it is usually a deed of sale.

Before she had time to chat with Jiutiao in detail, Jiutiao immediately threw out the second sentence: "But you don't need to sign this contract."

"Ah?" Qianhua was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

Jiu Tiao replied: "The contract period is too long and the remuneration is too low. This is a tentative contract. If you accept it directly, you will suffer a big loss. In fact, the content of the contract is far from enough for the firm to accept. The bottom line. According to what I said, talk to the firm for a while longer."

"Tomorrow, a lawyer from the firm will come over to discuss the contract with you. You don't need to sign it directly."

"When the time comes, you just say 'I need to check with my lawyer', send him away first, and I will teach you how to do it later, don't make blind decisions by yourself."

80. The current status of artists in the agency

After listening to Jiu Tiao's words, Qian Hua asked a little confused: "Then... what if the firm gets angry? After all, I still have the contract with them now, and if they get annoyed by me, they can just hide me for two days." Year, wait until I lose my heat before releasing me?"

"There is this possibility."

"Ah? What should I do then?"

"I won't let this possibility happen. I told you, I know where their bottom line is. After all, you are a popular artist who has just exploded. As long as you don't go too far, they won't fight you to the death. And The external image of Campbell & Associates is 'openness, inclusiveness, and human touch'. They like to publicize the characteristics of their firm that are different from other traditional Japanese firms. This is also their core competitiveness in attracting young artists. If you directly It is also a kind of damage to their brand image for them."

Qian Hua nodded half-understanding, expressing her agreement with Jiu Tiao's statement.

Then, Jiutiao made a final conclusion: "I will help you hire a lawyer that I think is reliable. Of course, you have to pay for it yourself. So, what you have to do now is to follow the tips I gave you. Haggle with them, and I'll let you know when they hit their limit."

Kujo called Qianhua over in the middle of the night and made such a call, which surprised Qianhua.

She blinked her big clear eyes, and asked with some confusion: "So, why did you tell me this..."

Jiu Tiao replied: "Because you give people the impression that you are a person who doesn't know much about these things, so of course I have to call you over in advance to make an agreement with you. Otherwise, I will sign the contract directly with someone stupidly, then it may be It's a lifetime thing."

"No, I want to say..."

I want to say, aren't you with the firm, why did you come to help me.

I wanted to ask this question at first, but felt that it was not polite, so I got stuck in the middle of my sentence.

Seeing her speechless look, Kujo already guessed what she wanted to say.

She was not angry, but just glanced at Qian Hua lightly.

"There are many reasons for people to do things. There is no extra benefit for me if the firm lowers your price to the lowest. It is better for me to help you without affecting my own interests. This is very Simple logic, you don't have to look surprised."

"Really...Thank you." Xiao Jiujiu, who had seen through her heart, made Qianhua a little embarrassed. She scratched the back of her head, not knowing what to say for a while.

But Jiutiao's manager, who has always been unsmiling, smiled subtly at this time.

She stood up and patted Qianhua's shoulder: "Don't thank me, this is a debt of favor."

After speaking, she quickly left the office.

The time is now 11:15pm.

It's time to get off work.

......

Yuko had been waiting outside the office for a long time, and when she saw Qianhua coming out, she couldn't wait to greet her immediately: "Hey, what's the matter, I saw Kujo coming out of it, what did you talk about?"

Qianhua replied: "It's about the contract."

"Contract?" Yuko didn't react immediately, but then suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see." She nodded thoughtfully, "Why did Jiu Tiao tell you?"

"She said... told me not to sign, saying that on my terms, it would be better to bargain."

"I see."

"What do you think, Yuko?"

"How about what?"

"It's...the words of Kujo's manager...do you think you can trust it?"

Hearing this, Yuko seemed to have discovered a new world, and looked at Qianhua in disbelief.

"Qianhua... You still think about whether others will lie to you, which makes me think about you very well. I thought you were the type who was sold and counted the money."

"Ah...haha." Qianhua didn't know whether Yuko was praising herself or hurting herself, so she could only smile awkwardly.

In fact, she usually doesn't think too much about this kind of thing, and her vigilance is relatively low.

This has nothing to do with experience, maybe she is just a person who doesn't like this kind of troublesome intrigue.

But the problem is that Jiu Tiao seemed a little too enthusiastic just now.

But in Qianhua's impression, she felt that Jiutiao was not such an enthusiastic person.

The so-called abnormality must have a demon, so she wondered if Jiutiao was playing tricks on herself.

Of course, another reason is that recently people have been saying that she is careless.As this personality becomes more and more consolidated, he is a little afraid

But then Yuko's answer dispelled her worries: "There's no need to worry, Kujo's manager is not a bad person, and she also helped me a lot when I first joined the firm."

"It's just that you may be too busy, Qianhua. You have been acting since you entered the office, and you spend most of your time on the set. There is very little time in the office, and she needs to teach you very little, so you know her well. There are very few. In fact, she is a person with a cold face and a warm heart, and her artists all like her."

"So that's how it is..." Hearing Yuko's words, Qianhua let go of her vigilance.

Yuko suddenly showed a look of envy: "However, speaking of it... Qianhua, you have only been in the firm for a year, and you have already been able to get a pretty good contract..."

"is it?"

"When I was renewing the contract, Kujo told me, 'Although the terms of the contract are not very good, and the term is still long, you can't choose a newcomer like you who is not popular, and the Japanese entertainment industry is like this'. Although I know She is telling the truth, but it still makes people feel very uncomfortable! Damn it! So, Qianhua, you are really enviable for a person like Qianhua who can become popular not long after your debut!"

Yuko was telling the truth.

In Japan, even young artists who seem to be particularly popular, no matter how popular they are, their actual income is generally not particularly high.

Of course, it is still much higher than the average wage earners, but if you compare it with the 8-figure income of various "popular fresh meat" in mainland China, it is really not enough.

Because Japanese artists rely heavily on the resources provided by the agency, without an agency, no matter how popular the artist is, his development will be greatly restricted.

This results in the firm having absolute control over the contract.

From this point of view, it is two extremes with the Chinese showbiz.

PS: Although I came very late today, the 4th update will still be updated.

I have accepted the fact that I work and rest in the underworld.

Let's count the votes QAQ

81. Mother "Qianhua, did you kiss her?"

Most of the experiences of Japanese artists are similar to gods.

When I was young, I was not well-known, so I had to rely on the training of the firm and the channels of the firm to find a job.

At this time, the firm will give you a choice: either sign a deed of sale with the firm, or stop being in this circle.

Compared with quitting the circle directly, most artists will still choose the former.

And the remaining small number of wild artists who have not signed with the agency will face a situation: it is difficult to become popular.

Not to mention the popularity, it is more difficult to find a job normally.Even if you have a certain reputation, even if you have filmed some movies before and have some fans, you will find it difficult to find a job.

This has led to the fact that in Japan, actors who can often be active in the audience's field of vision and can leave an impression on people, especially young actors, basically have signed contracts with the firm.

In Japan's entertainment industry, although entertainers are "stars" in the public eye, they are considered ordinary wage earners in terms of income.

The status quo of Japanese artists is that before becoming famous, they need to rely on the agency, and after becoming famous, they have already sold themselves to the agency, and they cannot get the income they should have due to their current fame.

If an artist wants to earn a high income, the most important thing is to have qualifications, which is the same as other jobs in Japan.

And Qianhua suddenly exploded before signing the contract of sale, allowing her to sign the first long-term contract with the capital to negotiate terms with the firm...

From this point alone, her starting point may be higher than [-]% of Japanese artists.

Suddenly realizing this made Qianhua feel a little inexplicably subtle.

Logically speaking, this is her second life, and in the novel she is treated like the protagonist.

However, before that, she didn't really feel that she was the "protagonist".

I feel that I am living a very ordinary life, I still eat like that every day, sleep like that, and live the ordinary life of ordinary people like that.

Although my career as an artist seems to be relatively smooth, all of this is advancing in a very reasonable way, rather than having an old man hanging on me so that I can directly succeed without putting in any effort.

However, when she looked back at this time, she suddenly discovered a problem: that is, her life was actually smoother than most people in this world, which is a proper protagonist script.

"That's great..." Qianhua couldn't help sighing.

"It would be great if it went on smoothly."

Yuko listened to what she said, and couldn't help complaining: "What kind of flag are you talking about? I always feel that our lives will take a sharp turn for the worse soon."

"There is no such thing as FLAG in reality."

"It's true...but sometimes there is a feeling that I said something like FLAG, and then I really took back FLAG."

"Yuko, don't believe in such meaningless things..."

"Don't be so old-fashioned!"
