Chapter 840 940. Encounter

AB was able to come to Kyoto after taking a three-day leave under the cover of a good friend, using the excuse of being sick.

This time, she wanted to see Huayi's sincerity and to get together with her boyfriend Huang Xiaoming. After all, even the most loving couples can hardly resist the "beauty" created by distance.

The next morning after arriving in Kyoto, AB got up early and prepared a simple breakfast for Huang Xiaoming.

Eating the sandwich made by his girlfriend, Huang Xiaoming gave a high evaluation, but AB was obviously a little absent-minded.

"I'm still worried about going to Huayi today. Nie Wei and I have agreed that he will come to see you. You don't have to be nervous when the time comes. You can just answer whatever Nie Wei asks you normally." Huang Xiaoming saw his girlfriend's worries and hurried to comfort her.

"Is Nie Wei really good-tempered?" AB asked with a worried look on her face. She still remembered that Nie Wei had rejected her role a few days ago. She even doubted whether Nie Wei would be prejudiced against models like her.

After all, she had seen many movie actors being unfriendly to models. She still remembered that she had chatted with a second-tier actress in the film and television industry and said that she liked filming. The other party said something that seemed to encourage but was actually sarcastic.

That sentence has left a big psychological shadow on AB.

"Hmm..." This question made Huang Xiaoming hesitate and did not give an answer immediately, because he was not sure about Nie Wei's temper. He was naturally very good in private and could accept jokes, but at work, Nie Wei's serious personality made him look very majestic and difficult to get close to.

Moreover, Huang Xiaoming had just been scolded by Nie Wei some time ago, and he also had a little psychological shadow in his heart.

"Compared with Brother Zhonglei, Nie Wei's temper is good, don't worry." After thinking about it, Huang Xiaoming could only give a comparative answer. Of course, he didn't think Nie Wei would treat AB. After all, AB was not an actor of Huayi, and he didn't make any mistakes, so there was nothing to worry about.

AB didn't ask again, because she also saw Huang Xiaoming's uncertainty and knew that even if she asked, she would definitely not get the answer she wanted.

After breakfast, Huang Xiaoming drove AB to the company's parking lot, but he did not accompany AB upstairs because he was afraid of being seen and had to avoid suspicion.

AB came to the front desk with the pass given by Huang Xiaoming, feeling uneasy.

The staff at the front desk saw a beautiful woman with an unfamiliar face coming over and thought she was a young actor who came to Huayi to audition for a role, so they took out the registration form with a smile and prepared to let AB fill in personal information.

"I'm not here for an audition, I'm here to see your General Manager Nie, Nie Wei." AB hurriedly explained when she saw this.

"Looking for Nie Wei, do you have an appointment?" the staff asked.

"I have a verbal agreement with him, my name is AB, please help me contact him." AB said.

"Please wait a moment." The staff looked at AB in surprise. Who is this strange girl who can get an appointment with Nie Wei?

During the waiting process, AB was not idle, and her eyes kept looking around. Huayi Company gave her a very novel feeling, not only the fashionable decoration inside the company, but also the spirit of the people coming and going.

Compared with her current modeling company, AB found that every staff member of Huayi Company had full confidence on their faces when they walked into this building, and some people who came here to do business would unconsciously have envious expressions on their faces when they walked into this building.

In AB's view, this is the charm of Huaxia Entertainment Center. This company is a "holy land" in the current Chinese entertainment circle, and even the entire Asian entertainment circle.

The stars here, the movies and TV series produced here, and the popular music will continue to trigger trends in this land. As the most successful entertainment company in China today, for an artist like herself, how could she not want to join?

So after getting the good news brought by Huang Xiaoming, AB almost didn't hesitate and decided to change jobs within a few seconds.

She knew very well that she would never become a big star in her life in a modeling company. Only in a big company like Huayi could she have the resources she dreamed of.

What's more, her boyfriend is still in this big company. Whether it is for career or love, changing jobs is a decision that kills two birds with one stone.

Now the only thing left to consider is what kind of signing conditions Huayi will give her.

AB, who was daydreaming, suddenly felt someone touching her shoulder. She quickly came to her senses and saw the staff member who had asked her a question was calling her.

"Ms. AB, Mr. Nie is waiting for you in the tea room on the sixth floor. Please follow me."

The sixth floor is the leisure area of ​​Huayi Company, which has a coffee shop, a tea room, an entertainment area, a fitness area, etc. AB followed the staff all the way. Although she was calm on the surface, she was already very surprised in her heart.

She never thought that the company would provide these things.

You know, their model company doesn't even have a small store. The coffee provided by the entire company is all instant. Even so, hot water is always out of stock.

According to the introduction of the staff in front, all areas of this leisure area, whether drinking coffee or eating snacks, are free, except that they cannot be taken away or wasted, and there are many types of them.

This made AB feel like walking into a high-end club. Thinking that Huayi's staff can work here, it is really too enjoyable.

While she was sighing in her heart, the staff had already brought her to the tea room, and Nie Wei was sitting by the window, drinking tea and chatting with Luo Kai.

"Here comes someone." Nie Wei recognized this future popular young actress the moment he saw AB, smiled and waved at her, and then whispered to Luo Kai opposite.

"Then I'll go to the lounge first." When Luo Kai stood up and prepared to leave, he glanced at AB who was walking over, and she could not deny that this girl was indeed very likable.

"Hello, Mr. Nie, I'm AB." AB didn't notice Luo Kai who had left, and at this time, she was nervous and only had Nie Wei in her eyes.

"Please sit down." Nie Wei smiled and pointed to the opposite side of him, indicating that AB should sit there.

When AB sat down, Nie Wei took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea, which made AB a little flustered. She quickly stood up and thanked him again. After saying thank you several times, she sat down in Nie Wei's laughter.

"Miss AB, don't be nervous. Huang Xiaoming should have told you that the company intends to sign you, right?" Nie Wei asked.

"Yes."

"What do you think? Are you interested in joining Huayi?"

AB hesitated for two or three seconds, then nodded firmly and replied: "I hope to join Huayi, but I still have a contract with my current company. After I join Huayi, can you tell me about my future career plan?"

"Of course." Nie Wei nodded, and then said: "Huang Xiaoming should have asked you to prepare your current agency contract. Please show it to me."

Hearing this, AB quickly took out the contract that had been prepared long ago from his handbag and handed it to Nie Wei.

Nie Wei wanted AB's agency contract mainly to determine the liquidated damages clause. Sure enough, just as Nie Wei expected, the liquidated damages of these models were really not high in his opinion. Even the pillar of the model company, AB, had a liquidated damages of only 10 million.

Of course, this 10 million is definitely much more than AB's current value. This is also the confidence of the model company. I think no one would be willing to spend 10 million to dig a model.

"As for the liquidated damages, Huayi will pay the full amount for you. You just need to cooperate with Huayi's legal department to go through the process. In addition, regarding your treatment at Huayi, I have also prepared a draft contract. You can take a look first." As he spoke, Nie Wei handed the contract that he had prepared long ago to AB.

Nie Wei saw AB frowning and flipping through the contract, and knew that she probably didn't understand those complicated terms very well. Fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations.

"The general legal terms are the normal content of the agency contract. Regarding your treatment, I have marked it for you with a highlighter. You can focus on these marked terms."

"Ah, thank you." AB looked at Nie Wei in surprise. She didn't expect him to be so careful.

As she turned the pages, some places were indeed marked with a highlighter, including the company benefits she enjoyed after signing the contract, from the five insurances and one housing fund, and the proportion of her income and the company's share, to the resources that the company would arrange for her. After reading them one by one, half an hour passed unknowingly.

"Don't you have any questions? Don't be embarrassed. Contract matters need to be discussed. If you have any questions, you can ask me now. We will try to resolve them as soon as possible." Nie Wei looked at AB silently for half an hour without asking any questions, so he took the initiative to ask.

In fact, AB did have a lot of questions in her mind, but she was shy and didn't dare to ask.

Now that Nie Wei took the initiative to ask her, it gave her a way out, and she began to confide the questions accumulated in her heart to Nie Wei.

"How long is the contract?"

"Six years is not long. For newcomers like you, we need to spend resources to train you, and this training process takes time. It often takes at least one or two years to train you from a newcomer to a qualified actor. The subsequent time is when you bring real benefits to the company. So these six years include the training time. If it is too short, the company will lose more than it gains."

"Oh, I understand. What about the share?"

"In the first two years, the company requires a share of 60%, which seems a bit high, but in fact, your income in these two years is not much. As your fame grows and your income increases, the share required by the company will naturally decrease. You see, in the third and fourth years, the company only requires a share of 40%, and in the fifth and sixth years, the company only requires a share of 20%. This step-by-step share fully takes into account the interests of both parties."

"Yeah, that makes sense..."

AB soon found that he could not resist Nie Wei's explanation at all. Although he asked some questions that he thought were unreasonable, he finally accepted them. As a result, after a few questions, it was the same as before.

Fortunately, AB can accept all these, not to mention that many benefits in the contract are too tempting for her.

For example, a dedicated nanny car and a management team of at least five people, these are things she couldn't imagine before in the modeling company. As long as she signs this contract, she will no longer need to squeeze into a car with other models, and she will also have her own makeup artist, costume designer, life assistant and exclusive agent.

What she values ​​most is that it has been stated in the contract that in the first three years of the contract, the company will arrange at least one major role in a movie or TV series for her every year. This is the film and television resources she has always dreamed of.

"Don't worry, you can take the contract back and find someone to study it again. I'm waiting for your reply." Nie Wei stood up and prepared to end the conversation.

But what he didn't expect was that AB sitting opposite also stood up, but instead of saying goodbye to Nie Wei, he directly agreed to sign the contract.

"I didn't bring a pen." AB said embarrassedly.

"Are you sure you have thought about it and don't need to discuss it with Huang Xiaoming again?" Nie Wei asked again.

"No need. I am very satisfied with this contract. Being an actor has always been my dream." AB replied firmly.

Seeing this, Nie Wei didn't ask any more questions, and asked a staff member to print out a formal contract, and then handed AB the signature pen he carried with him.

The contract was printed out quickly. AB took a quick glance at it and then signed his name.

"First of all, welcome to Huayi." Nie Wei put away the contract and said with a smile.

"I'm honored." AB's voice was trembling. It was obvious that she was not at peace after signing this daughter contract.

"Next, the company will arrange some courses for you, mainly acting classes. I have watched some of your film and television works. To be honest, I can't compliment your acting skills, so you must practice your acting skills first. You have to know Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.”

Nie Wei's words made AB's heart tremble, and he quickly cheered up and nodded to Nie Wei in assurance.

Seeing this, Nie Wei nodded with satisfaction and said nothing.

In Nie Wei's view, AB's appearance is very good, which is why she will become famous quickly in the future, but the most criticized thing about her is her acting skills and professionalism.

Nie Wei thinks that those who say AB is not dedicated enough are inaccurate.

If nothing else, just by looking at her hard work in Running Man, you can tell that she is not a squeamish actor.

And her lack of dedication lies in the fact that as a popular star, she has too much work, which is also the main reason why she cut out pictures during filming, and this is entirely because the agency did not arrange her schedule properly.

However, in terms of acting, the public's accusations against AB are justified.

As a model, she has never systematically learned any acting skills. She can't tell if she plays some light-hearted and humorous New Year films or some youth idol movies and TV series. But as long as she challenges some slightly difficult roles, her acting skills will be immediately revealed.

Now that Nie Wei has decided to give her the resources to train her, he doesn't want her to follow the same old path. At least in terms of acting, she doesn't need to reach the level of a movie queen, but she must at least pass.

Nie Wei didn't stay long. After putting away the contract, he said goodbye to AB. After Nie Wei's figure left his sight, AB looked around, then quickly took out his phone and prepared to call Huang Xiaoming.

But at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her eyes. Her finger that was about to press the call button paused in mid-air, and she was stunned.

Thanks to Fantasy Park, 0773 for the generous reward.
