Chapter 26 Job Opportunities(1/2)
"You want to be my agent?"
The sudden request from the girl opposite made Lin Zaishan wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.
"I have this idea now. I'll ask you out this afternoon and I want to discuss the feasibility of this matter with you."
Just straight to the point, Liu Mengmeng's style is not dragging on the ground and is quite bold.
After looking at the business card that Liu Mengmeng had just handed him, and then looking at Liu Mengmeng's eyes that were quite spiritual like a little fox, Lin Zaishan instantly felt the girl's uniqueness.
Instead of wearing the fashionable white-framed glasses that were used to be, I changed into a pair of black-framed glasses that looked more professional and mature.
Liu Mengmeng dressed very dignified and decently this afternoon.
A white high-end silk shirt with a versatile professional women's black suit, and a professional black skirt, stockings, and high heels, is quite like a working woman.
But she looks full of spiritual energy, her face is only the size of a palm, her chin is pointed and her eyes are big. She looks less like a professional than Sun Yuzhen.
She looks much younger than her actual age, and looks like she is only in her early twenties.
Lin Zaishan thought it was a bit nonsense to be a girl who was a half-year-old.
Looking at the position on the business card, this girl is Ma Xiaodong's assistant.
Ma Xiaodong is a little irresistible to him again.
The girl suddenly ran away and said she wanted to be his agent.
Is there anything wrong with this?
Looking straight into Liu Mengmeng's eyes silently, Lin Zaishan wanted to read something from the girl's eyes.
Without retreating from Lin Zaishan's cautious gaze, Liu Mengmeng also tried to read something from Lin Zaishan's deep and mature eyes.
"I'll ask, Miss Liu, what do you belong to?"
"I'm a monkey."
Lin Zaishan nodded and calculated in his heart that Liu Mengmeng should have been born in 1980 and is 27 years old this year. She doesn't look as old as 27 years old.
Knowing that Lin Zaishan asked about her zodiac sign was to tactfully investigate her age, Liu Mengmeng introduced herself: "I entered this circle before I graduated from college. I have worked in this circle for more than 7 years, with rich work experience and extensive interpersonal relationships. When I entered the industry, I worked as an agent assistant for a while. Although I have been working as a music assistant for Director Ma in recent years, I often come into contact with singer agents and know more about the things in the agent circle. I think I am competent for the job of an agent."
"Did we know each other before?"
"It was my first time yesterday afternoon, but I've heard your songs before."
"Then you should understand some of the impulsive things I did in the past. It's no exaggeration to say that I was a scrapped bomb in the circle, which had hurt many people. Now I'm covered in stains and have long been out of date. Even if I come back in the future, my road will be very bumpy. Why are you willing to take care of someone like me?"
"Because I was moved by your music. It may be too pretentious to say that, you won't believe it, but it's the truth. I have a certain understanding of your past, but I don't know much about it. I think the past is like the past. Who is not young and energetic? Through the simple contact yesterday afternoon, I personally feel that you have been prepared for change and comeback. After hiding your strength for so long, your sharpness has been polished into cultivation. You are full of potential for a new rise, and being your agent will be a very challenging job. Although this job is risky, it has a lot of rewards. I am not young anymore. If I don't take risks in this industry, I may not have this enthusiasm for fighting in the future."
Liu Mengmeng said it very frankly, and she felt quite comfortable when she flattered Lin Zaishan.
Lin Zaishan was an artist in his previous life and was taken by his agent. However, the agent who led him had several artists under him. He was not very popular, so he was not valued by his agent.
At that time, he had contacted and negotiated many jobs by himself, which was very troublesome and the effect was not good.
He once thought that if there was a good agency team to lead him, his career might have had a turnaround.
The agent and the team behind the artist play a crucial role in the development of the artist's career. It is not an exaggeration to say that this role is greater than that of the artist itself.
Lin Zaishan knew the importance of an agent very well, so he would not easily promise this important job to the strange girl in front of him.
What's more, this girl is Ma Xiaodong's assistant, so she may have come to cheat him.
But to be said, this girl has the potential to be an agent with her talkative qualities and bold and meticulous personality.
A good celebrity agent, in addition to the necessary condition of extensive connections, is also crucial for their personal qualities and personalities.
A good agent must have an active personality, be thick-skinned, and be good at contacting and communicating with performers, manufacturers, investors, production units, etc. Only in this way can he take the initiative to help artists talk about valuable job opportunities.
Liu Mengmeng in front of her has a proactive personality.
When she met, she dared to come over and make a request to be an agent, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
This also indirectly shows that this girl has a very keen sense of smell and a very unique vision.
If she weren't Ma Xiaodong's assistant, Lin Zaishan might have really considered her proposal.
Liu Mengmeng continued to say: "Of course, I just said that these are all from my perspective. If I can be your agent, it will be of many benefits to you. You have been away from the entertainment industry for a while. I have been working in the circle over the years and are relatively more familiar with the development of the circle. I can help you re-expand your relationships in the circle. I will also work hard to help you improve your image and improve your relationships in the circle. You just need to concentrate on making music, and leave all other things to me.
I will help you contact more job opportunities. I have a close relationship with our artist brokerage company under Dongfangtai. If you are willing to sign a contract with our Dongfangtai brokerage company, I will help you negotiate the most beneficial brokerage contract. If you are interested in other brokerage companies, I can also help you contact you and strive to negotiate the best interests of the contract. In short, I will listen carefully to any ideas about career development and try my best to help you execute it. When necessary, I will give you my professional advice."
Lin Zaishan smiled and said, "What you said touched me very much, I can feel your sincerity. I also thank you for your importance to me. But now you don't understand me, and I don't understand you either. I think it's too early to talk about brokerage work."
"You are right. I am asking you to think about it now, and I will consider it first. Everyone will consider it when they are mature and then cooperate. This is the responsible attitude. But I must say, I really appreciate your talent. I hope we can try to cooperate first, so that each other can feel the sincerity of each other and see if this matter is feasible."
"What is the so-called cooperation method that you call trying to cooperate?"
"Because I am still working as an assistant to the director, I will not be able to quit this job in the short term. At least until the end of the program "The Strongest Singer and Writer", I cannot put down the job at hand. You also know that Director Ma is the music director producer of this program. If I suddenly quit at this time, it would be a bit unrighteous to Director Ma."
Lin Zaishan nodded to express his understanding. But in his heart, he still doubted the girl's motives. Did she instruct Ma Xiaodong to come and make a trap for him?
"During the production and broadcast of "The Strongest Singer and Composer", I worked with Director Ma, and I will definitely help you a little, so I will definitely not quit in the past six months. While doing this job, I can help you with some job opportunities first, and we can try to cooperate first. During the trial cooperation period, we must be able to develop tacit understanding, cooperate well, and witness each other's sincerity and ability. After "The Strongest Singer and Composer", we will talk about a comprehensive brokerage cooperation relationship one step closer. If we do not cooperate well during this period and find that we are not in line with each other, it means that we do not have the fate of working together and we can get together and we can get together."
"I agree with your idea. I'm willing to try to cooperate with you."
Without hesitation, Lin Zaishan answered Liu Mengmeng's invitation.
He is short of job opportunities now. If Liu Mengmeng can introduce him to the job, it is exactly what he wants.
Regardless of whether it is a trap or not, he will try it first.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zaishan was so happy, Liu Mengmeng bent her sweet smile on her moist lips: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"Everyone, I thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Since Liu Mengmeng is so frank, no matter whether it is true or not, Lin Zaishan also showed his frankness as usual: "I am short of job opportunities now. I have been addicted to the circle for too long, and many people have forgotten me. It is not that easy to find a job opportunity. If you can help me find a job related to music, I will definitely cherish it very much."
“What do you most want now is to find a job? Performance? Creation?”
"I do everything related to music. No matter how big or small the work is, I will do it as long as I can make money."
Liu Mengmeng was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Lin Zaishan to put his posture so low and speak so naively.
In fact, this is exactly what Liu Mengmeng is willing to see.
Some artists are not very famous, but they are very tall and do not want to take jobs that are slightly worse. This is the easiest way to miss opportunities.
In this circle, opportunities have always favored hardworking people.
It would be best if Lin Zaishan was willing to take any job. Because it would bring them unexpected surprises if they were not sure which job they would.
However, now Lin Zaishan is just saying this. After taking action, will he still do this? Liu Mengmeng will observe again.
To quit your current stable job and take the risk to Lin Zaishan as an agent, Liu Mengmeng needs to observe Lin Zaishan's character and work attitude.
Lin Zaishan's talent is nothing to say, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to stand out in the golden age of pop music with star-studded popularity.
She also witnessed Lin Zaishan's musical talent with her own eyes, so Liu Mengmeng is absolutely relieved about this. This is also the reason why she triggered her impulse.
But if Lin Zaishan's work attitude is not good and his character is up to debate, then Liu Mengmeng will definitely not be Lin Zaishan's agent.
She wanted to try to get along with Lin Zaishan, which was to examine Lin Zaishan's work attitude and ability, and to use this to let Lin Zaishan examine her work attitude and ability.
Now seeing Lin Zaishan put down his posture, Liu Mengmeng immediately took out a folder from her bag and said to Lin Zaishan: "There is a job opportunity now, I don't know if you want to take it."
“What kind of work is there?”
Lin Zaishan's eyes lit up slightly, which was quite a bit like a hungry wolf seeing the meat.
"Before talking about this job, I hope you can help me keep it a secret. If you don't want to accept this job, don't spread it out."
"No problem, I have a very strict mouth."
"Okay, then I'll tell you. A senior from our music department in Taiwan took on a job of making the theme song for a TV series last week. He had too many things to do and couldn't take time to make this theme song. So he asked me in private and another colleague to help him to see who could find the gunman to make this song."
"I can take this job, I can do it."
"No, you listen to me first. I believe you have the ability to do this theme song. But this job is anonymous. Even if you do it, you must sign the name of that senior in the end. You can only be a gunman and get a reward. Are you willing to take this job?"
For newcomers in the circle, this kind of job will definitely be accepted, but for an old senior like Lin Zaishan who has been famous for a long time, it will be a bit of a bad identity if he wants to accept it.
But Liu Mengmeng still wanted to see if Lin Zaishan could really lower his posture and start over.
If Lin Zaishan had this determination, his future money would be bright.
Lin Zaishan thought for a few seconds and asked, "How much is the reward for this job?"
"If it can be used, then the senior will give you a reward of 5,000 yuan, which is the job I introduced to you. So according to the brokerage regulations, I will draw 20%-1,000 yuan, and you will get 4,000 yuan. If you do it, then the senior will be unsatisfied and useless, then there will be no money to get it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Liu Mengmeng calculated the money very clearly, and Lin Zaishan liked this attitude.
In this music circle, a song cannot be sold for much money. Even if a senior creator sells songs, it will only cost tens of thousands of dollars.
The other party’s reward of 5,000 is quite high.
Lin Zaishan decided to accept it. If you don’t sign it, don’t sign it. Just make money.
"I've taken this job."
Lin Zaishan talked to Liu Mengmeng with certainty.
With a dark look of joy in his eyes, Liu Mengmeng confirmed and asked, "Are you really willing to answer?"
"We will cooperate in the future. Don't ask this too much. I said that if I answered, I will definitely answer it."
