Chapter 148: Flickering Success
"TV, movies..."
After listening to Menjie's words, Mei Mei was speechless and opened her mouth. She didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a long time before speaking tentatively.
"What the company hopes is that you can devote all your experience to music work. It doesn't want you to invest too much energy in film and television. In this regard... you should know something!"
"Um!"
Menjie nodded slightly and said softly, "Sister Mei, if you have any difficulties, just tell me directly. I'll be fine!"
"Then I'll say it!"
Seeing that Menjie didn't appear too depressed, Mei Mei felt relieved and spoke softly.
"As for TV...you know, in this field, you basically have no outstanding works. The company's idea is to let you give up this direction. After all, you have achieved good results in the music field, and in TV
You can only be regarded as a newcomer, and if you insist on developing, it will be a waste of time!"
"So, not only out of consideration for yourself but also from the perspective of the company's resource allocation, the company wants you to give up this aspect temporarily. If you really want to make a TV series, you can wait until you have accumulated enough popularity in the future.
If I continue to shoot, I believe it won’t be too difficult to become popular!”
As for TV, it seems there is no problem!
With a slight movement in his heart, Men Jie also learned about the Huayi brothers' decision.
It’s nothing more than seeing that he has achieved good results in the music field, and wants to fully develop this field to make money for the company. However, in terms of TV series, Menjie is still a complete newcomer, and the company does not want to make the same mistakes in Menjie.
Too much investment to get involved in this field that Menjie has not been involved in yet!
From this point of view, if Menjie wants to contact the Huayi Brothers for part of the contract, there should be no problem!
"What about movies?"
Immediately afterwards, Menjie couldn't wait to ask Mei Mei.
In Menjie's view, in the next period of time, he will focus mainly on movies. He may appear in a few TV series, but definitely not too many.
As for movies, this is what Menjie has been working hard on, and he will soon be collaborating with Fang Chenglong.
According to Menjie's guess, the salary of the number one supporting actor who will star in Fang Chenglong's next film will definitely not be less than 500,000. If he can contact the Huayi Brothers in advance about a film contract...
Menjie will earn at least 200,000 more!
Moreover, it is now widely rumored that Menjie has offended Fang Chenglong. The Huayi brothers have mistakenly estimated Menjie's value in movies. If the Huayi brothers learn the truth about everything, I am afraid that in terms of movies...
No matter what Menjie says, Huayi Brothers will not take the initiative to terminate the contract with Menjie. Even when the contract is about to expire, they will try their best to retain Menjie!
Even if Menjie cannot be retained, I am afraid that he will try his best to squeeze Menjie's value at the last moment, which is what Menjie does not want to see.
Therefore, contacting the Huayi Brothers for a film contract is far more important than a TV contract!
"As for movies..."
Frowning slightly, Mei Mei said softly, "Men Jie, I have to admit that you are indeed very talented in film shooting. I believe that the filming of "Kung Fu" and "Fist of Fury" will be broadcast during the broadcast.
It will also make your popularity soar in the future, which is indeed a great investment potential!"
"But... you also know..."
"Sister Mei, I know, I know what happened recently!"
Menjie interrupted Mei Mei softly. What he wanted to hear was not the difficulties, but the final result!
"Menjie!"
After thinking for a long time, Mei Mei raised her head and said softly to Menjie, "Originally, according to the company's senior management, they don't want you to continue to get involved in the film and television industry, but there are also some disapproving attitudes!"
"It's different from the TV industry. In the TV industry, you are just a complete newcomer and don't have much value. But in the film industry, although you have offended some people, you have also achieved some results!"
"So...if you still want to develop music and continue to make movies, I can promise you that the company will renew your contract. Although there is no guarantee that you will become popular, there will be regular movies.
, I can still guarantee you!”
"Sister Mei, are there any difficulties when arranging the filming of the movie?"
Nodding slightly, Sister Mei's eyes showed neither disappointment nor joy, they were still so plain.
"Well, I won't hide it from you. Some time ago, the company also looked for some movies for you, but in the end... except for some movies with relatively small costs and low team levels, slightly better movies, as soon as I heard your request
All names were rejected!”
There is no doubt that all this is Fang Chenglong’s doing!
Although everything was clear from his heart, Menjie never thought that Fang Chenglong's unintentional move would actually help him obtain such a precious opportunity!
"Sister Mei, after hearing what you said, I probably understand it too!"
At the end, Menjie pretended to think for a while, gritted his teeth and said softly, "I have a request, and I hope you can grant it to me, Sister Mei!"
"you say!"
Faced with Menjie, he was a newcomer she had personally discovered after all. Although Menjie had already made some achievements in the music industry, he had no choice but to fail in the film and television industry that he loved. Mei Mei felt very uncomfortable and secretly felt in her heart.
Tell yourself that if Menjie’s request is not too excessive, you will definitely fight for Menjie!
"Sister Mei, that's what I think!"
Menjie sorted out his words and said softly, "If I continue to stay in the company, at least in the film and television industry, even if there are movies to make, I won't have much success, so I just want to... want to leave.
Huayi Brothers!”
"Leave Huayi Brothers?"
After hearing Menjie's words, Mei Mei couldn't help but feel excited, but she recalled Menjie's words in her mind before she realized what she said.
What Menjie said was not to completely leave Huayi Brothers, but to leave Huayi Brothers in the direction of the film and television industry!
"You mean, you want to contact the Huayi brothers for film and television contracts?"
She frowned. Although she felt that the value of these two contracts was not very high, the fact that her artists wanted to terminate their contracts with the company still made Mei Mei feel a little uncomfortable.
"That's true!"
Menjie nodded and said firmly, "Since I can't become popular in the film and television industry in the company, I, Menjie, will go out and look for opportunities on my own. If I find one, I, Menjie, will be considered lucky. If I don't find it...
…It’s not a loss, at least I can still sing, and I can continue to be popular!”
"This...even if you want to leave Huayi Brothers, you can still wait for another year. The contract will be automatically terminated after one year. There is no need to terminate the contract in advance, right?"
When talking about the issue of contract termination, Mei Mei hesitated a little. After all, she was not a high-level decision-maker of the company, so Mei Mei could not make too many decisions yet.
"Sister Mei!"
Seeing that Mei Mei's attitude was somewhat ambiguous, Sister Mei quickly tried to persuade her.
"I can have some value in the company now, that is, in the music field. I can't say that there is no value at all in the film and television field, but it can be considered that the value is very small, and there is not much value in continuing to cultivate, right?"
Seeing Mei Mei nodded, Sister Mei continued, "In that case, just terminate my contract! In this way, the company can not only renew my contract for three years, but also save me such a burden, and
I myself can also save some time!"
Rubbing her hands slightly, Sister Mei said with some embarrassment, "Actually, to be honest, I know my current situation, but I am still a little unwilling to do so. The film industry has not developed in the company, and I want to leave the company and be on my own.
Let’s try our luck outside!”
"Although I also feel that it is difficult for me to make a name for myself, I have just turned twenty this year, so I still want to give it a try and don't want to give up so soon. Sister Mei, can you understand me?"
"this……"
After listening to Menjie's words, Mei Mei had to nod her head, agreeing with Menjie's words.
Indeed, it can be said that Menjie's stay in the company is like useless food. It is a pity to abandon him. What the company cares about is renewing the music contract with Menjie.
Now, as long as Menjie is allowed to leave the company in the film and television industry, he can continue to own Menjie for three years. This deal...
No matter how you calculate it, the Huayi brothers will not lose!
The loser is actually Menjie himself!
Although Menjie can become a free man again after being contacted by the contract, the current situation of Menjie in the film and television industry is indeed unsatisfactory, and it can be said that the opportunity for prosperity has been cut off!
In Mei Mei's eyes, no matter how hard Menjie worked, it was just a useless effort, and the only loss was Menjie himself!
However, as Menjie said, Menjie is just 20 years old this year and is still very young. He has plenty of time to work hard, develop and fight!
If he just gave up like that, I'm afraid Menjie would really regret it for the rest of his life, right?
"Okay, let me ask you a question!"
After thinking for a moment, Mei Mei couldn't stand Menjie's pleading eyes, so she reluctantly agreed to Menjie's request.
"Thank you so much, Sister Mei!"
Hearing this, Menjie was immediately overjoyed!
Menjie knew that since he succeeded in persuading Mei Mei here, Mei Mei would definitely put in a few good words for Menjie during the communication with the company's senior management, and the chance of success would definitely not be too small!
In other words... Menjie succeeded!
Because she wanted to sell Menjie a favor, Mei Mei sat next to Menjie and did not leave the room when she asked about the company.
When Mei Mei was on the phone with the company's senior management, Men Jie clearly heard that the company's senior management did not agree with Men Jie's termination of the film and television industry contract at the beginning, but after Mei Mei's strong persuasion, it didn't take much effort.
, and obtained the company’s consent.
Immediately afterwards, after Mei Mei sorted out the contract, Menjie officially signed the renewal of the contract with Huayi Brothers Music Company, terminated the contract with Huayi Brothers Film and Television Company, and became a free man in film and television! (To be completed
