After Monica Bellucci opened the contract text, she looked carefully. Then she found that the contract was different from what she had seen before.

The relationship between European and American brokerage companies and artists is equal. The brokerage company is responsible for helping artists introduce their work and obtaining a small amount of share from it, which plays the role of an intermediary. Artists can not accept the work arrangements of the brokerage company, and can terminate the agency contract with the brokerage company at any time without paying too high prices.

In comparison, the relationship between the brokerage companies in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan is between the boss and the employee. The company manages the artists, provides them with job opportunities, and draws a large amount of share from them. The artists must accept the work arrangements of the brokerage company and cannot refuse at will. Moreover, if they want to terminate the contract, they generally have to pay a very high price.

The two modes have their own advantages.

European and American agency companies are of freedom and rarely restrict the work and life of artists. But at the same time, they naturally do not care about the artist's acting career planning.

If an artist wants to keep his or her prosperity, he can only rely on his or her will to eliminate all kinds of temptations or temptations. He or she asks a public relations company to do crisis public relations, image promotion, and asks a stylist, hair stylist, etc. to help him or her create an image... In short, it all depends on himself.

Therefore, after European and American artists became famous, they lost too many things, such as Lindsay Luo Han, who is known as the bad girl, Justin Bieber, and Blaine Spears, who is known as the sweetheart, all of them were not self-control after becoming famous at a young age, and they did a series of ridiculous things, which led to a sharp decline in their acting career.

Although there are many constraints in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the agency companies in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan are also very attentive to the artist's acting career planning. Because the more popular the artists make, the more they make, the more they make, so they will spend a lot of time, money, manpower and material resources to make celebrities famous.

At the same time, it will restrict the work and life of celebrities to ensure that there will be no major mistakes. For example, Fusang's agency prohibits its idol artists from falling in love, South Korean agency also interferes with the artist's private life, prohibits drinking, smoking, nightclubs, etc. Once something happens, the agency will usually help the artists with crisis public relations, settle troubles, and eliminate the impact as much as possible.

And there is another biggest difference. European and American agency companies will not pay artists’ wages, and artists’ income is entirely maintained by work. Without a job, there will be no income.

In comparison, although the brokerage companies in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan take a lot of commissions, they also pay a lot, especially if they pay a basic salary every month, they even include food and accommodation. Therefore, even if the artist has no job for the time being, they will not starve to death on the streets.

...

The contract was made in Skyland in summer in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. It has a seven-year long contract. During the contract, all the performing affairs of the artists are managed by the company. They are not allowed to take private jobs. If there is no legitimate reason, they are not allowed to refuse arrangements.

The agency takes 40% of the artist's income as a commission, and its responsibilities include training, publicity, planning, public relations, etc. for artists, and provide salary ranging from 500 to 10,000 US dollars per month due to the artist's level.

It is worth mentioning that European and American agency companies only provide intermediary services, so they can sign thousands of artists. For example, the well-known agency caa has nearly half of Hollywood performers, nearly two-thirds of the top stars, as well as directors, playwrights, producers, even singers, sports stars, etc.

The agency companies in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan have at most signed dozens or hundreds of artists. Because the company's resources are not infinite, the artists who make famous are limited. Artists who cannot allocate resources will naturally not make money and have no value for signing. Artists who cannot allocate resources will never be able to allocate resources and are unwilling to be on the bench for a long time, and will also terminate the contract with the company and leave.

However, this is not a disadvantage for Xia Tian. Because he himself did not think about signing too many people, he just hoped to sign some popular stars and directors in the future, and implement the elite strategy. Therefore, this is more suitable for him.

...

After reading the contract carefully, Monica Bellucci felt that although this contract is different from the popular contracts in Europe and the United States, it is actually very good for a newcomer like her.

First, after signing the contract, the company is responsible for training, publicity, and promotion. The company formulates a career plan for acting, and after an accident, the company will do crisis public relations. In this case, for a newcomer like her who is helpless and fighting alone in Hollywood, it is equivalent to an additional guarantee.

Second, after signing the contract, the company still had a monthly salary. Although it was only 500 US dollars at the beginning, it was enough for daily life. You should know that when she was a model in Italy and France, she had no salary at all. If she wanted to make money, she had to work hard to find a job. For a period of time, she had no job for three consecutive months. At that time, she was so poor that she only ate one bread a day and almost starved to death.

But then again, the company has a great constraint on her. The contract period is seven years. If you want to terminate the contract early, you have to pay a considerable amount of compensation. Especially the commission is as high as 40%, which really makes her a little unacceptable.

Because the commission she joined before was only 15% of the commission. The commission in the brokerage company in summer was several times higher than that of others, which was a bit too high.

"Mr. Xia, I have some other opinions on these places~" Monica Bellucci protested tactfully to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian smiled, "Miss Bellucci, the reason why the contract is set for seven years is actually for your own good. The elimination rate of Hollywood stars is very high. Many stars are like meteors, and they will quickly fade away just by flashing for a moment.

And I have signed you for seven years, at least I can guarantee that within these seven years, you will always have a job, keep going well, and will not fall easily.

Besides, after signing for seven years, the company will have enough time to help you formulate your acting career plan. When to learn, when to make efforts, and when to transform, the company will have a long-term plan to ensure that you will not miss the opportunity.

On the contrary, if you only sign for two years, the company will not make any plans in such a short period of time. You can only try to squeeze your value. After two years, no one can say whether you will make any progress, and you can only pay your life."

After hearing what he said, Monica Bellucci thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

For newcomers, what they lack the most is long-term planning. Because newcomers just enter the entertainment industry and don’t know anything, they will easily go the wrong way when they look at them.

She has seen many models who were originally very beautiful and spiritual. Because of their lack of teaching and lack of self-control, she went astray and ruined herself.

"Along with the matter of 40% commission, there is nothing we can do about it. You see, the company has to plan for you, promote for you, do public relations for you, and pay you a salary... These are all money, not just services provided.

And even if you don’t pay us this money, you have to hire a stylist, a public relations company, and a promotional position... And what you find yourself may not be reliable, and maybe it may not be ruined by them.

But the company will not deliberately harm you, but will provide you with the best service, so how do you think you really want to get 40% of your commission?" Xia Tian said again.

Monica Bellucci weighed it for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll sign it."
