Chapter 10 How old are you!
The next day, at 10 a.m.
Not long after Han Ziming returned to his office at Mozi Film and Television Company, Zhao Siyao approached him and said...
"Boss, Zhang Ruonan is in our company's conference room, but she said she wants to meet with you before signing the contract."
"Okay, no problem." Han Ziming nodded.
In fact, Zhang Ruonan has many younger siblings. As the eldest daughter, she helped her parents share the family's burdens at a very young age.
After entering university, she participated in a beauty pageant organized by the school, made it into the top 30, became a model on Taobao, and began to support her family while studying.
The modeling industry is actually quite chaotic.
Fortunately, she sells on Taobao, not other platforms, which is slightly safer, but she is also very precocious.
Many netizens became fans of hers after she played Gu Senxiang in the movie "Cry Me a Sad River" in her previous life.
Everyone says she is the real-life inspiration for Gu Senxiang, playing herself, and giving people the feeling of sweetness, youth, and heartbreak.
After signing the fiber optic contract, he filmed many youth movies, most of which grossed around 2-3 million yuan, but some even reached 7 million yuan.
However, these films have relatively low production costs and are generally profitable, so fiber optics is happy to continue supporting them.
Especially after Principal Wang followed her on Weibo, her followers began to surge, and later more and more people started to follow her.
Gradually, it became so that whenever Zhang Ruonan appeared in a movie, everyone knew she was going to cry.
When she cries, the whole world is wrong.
It's definitely a story of youthful heartbreak, featuring a female protagonist whose character is incredibly broken.
the other side,
Zhang Ruonan sat in the conference room, feeling uneasy.
She immediately stood up when she saw Han Ziming and the other person walk in.
"Mr. Zhao!"
"Ruonan, let me introduce you. This is our company boss, Han Ziming!" Zhao Siyao said with a smile.
Zhang Ruonan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
"Hello, Mr. Han!"
"Sorry, I just wanted to get to know you so I could feel more at ease. But you're really young."
She was frantically muttering to herself.
So this is the boss!
Does he look like a rich kid?
They seem younger than me!
I've heard that rich people have very extravagant lifestyles?
Am I in danger?
At this moment, Zhang Ruonan was wearing a white dress, the hem of which fluttered, revealing her fair legs below the knees, paired with a pair of black canvas shoes.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she wore delicate makeup and light lipstick, giving her a gentle and sweet appearance.
Han Ziming looked him over and asked casually with a smile.
"It's okay, this is normal."
"But you're very young and beautiful! How old are you?"
"Uh... B!"
Zhang Ruonan was a little nervous and blurted out unconsciously.
After saying that, she felt like she had gone crazy!
Zhang Ruonan's mind went blank for a moment, she picked at her toes and lowered her head.
She wanted to find a hole to crawl into right now!
She thought to herself.
"Oh no, does he think I'm that kind of girl?"
The meeting room was silent for several seconds.
Zhang Ruonan blushed and gave an embarrassed explanation.
"Uh... I was just kidding."
When Han Ziming heard "B," he gave the same look as an old man on the subway looking at his phone, and he explained speechlessly.
Let me explain first.
"Our company is a legitimate company!"
Zhao Siyao interjected with a smile:
"Yes, we are a legitimate company. We can talk about other things later. Or, let's discuss the contract signing first!"
Han Ziming was speechless.
Mr. Zhao, you're really something! Will this turn out to be anything serious in the future?
Zhang Ruonan quickly changed the subject.
"I was born in 96, so I'm 20 this year."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually."
Seeing this, Han Ziming offered words of comfort.
"Did Mr. Zhao tell you that after signing the contract, the novel 'The Beginning' would be adapted into a TV series, and you would be the female lead?"
Zhang Ruonan had previously worried that her boss might have some issues. Now that it has been confirmed again, she is still very excited.
"Are you really going to give me the lead role? But I've never acted before."
"Of course, we won't lie to you. After you sign the contract, we'll immediately enroll you in a performance training class and rent an apartment for you nearby," Han Ziming said with a smile.
At this point, Zhao Siyao added.
"And the signing fee is 30 yuan. I hope you will consider it carefully."
"A signing fee of 30?"
Zhang Ruonan immediately stood up.
"I'm willing to sign! Please show me the contract."
Han Ziming added, "The contracts are for 8 years and 10 years respectively, and our initial draft is a 30/70 revenue split."
For most newcomers, a roughly 20/80 split in the industry is considered good. We'll adjust this based on your popularity and status later on, and all of this will be written into the contract.
After listening, Zhang Ruonan spoke firmly.
"If there are no issues with the contract, I would choose the 10-year term."
Zhao Siyao felt reassured and handed a contract to Zhang Ruonan.
"Ruonan, this is the contract. Take a look at it first. If there are any problems, we can discuss them further."
"Okay, can I have a lawyer take a look?"
Zhang Ruonan quickly asked.
"Can!"
Zhao Siyao couldn't help but think more highly of her, and then sent her an electronic copy of the contract.
After receiving the contract, Zhang Ruonan forwarded it to the temporary lawyer she had hired in advance, and then carefully reviewed both the electronic and paper contracts several times.
About half an hour later, the lawyer said there was no problem.
She then happily signed her name.
She thought to herself: This 30 yuan is enough for the family to use for a long time.
After signing the contract,
Han Ziming said to Zhang Ruonan with a smile.
"Let's add each other on WeChat."
"If you have any questions in the future, you can contact me."
"Yes, Mr. Han!"
Zhang Ruonan was a little flattered and quickly took out her phone to open the WeChat QR code.
Soon after, the two became WeChat friends.
"From now on, I'll just call you Ruonan, and you can just call me Boss. I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform in the future," Han Ziming said with a smile.
"Boss, I'll do my best!"
Zhang Ruonan nodded gratefully.
She secretly rejoiced that she had met a good boss.
Little did she know,
She doesn't call younger women "sister," and she's got a wild side!
Everything in the entertainment industry has a price tag.
Then Han Ziming let Xiao Hong in from outside and said...
"Xiao Hong, for the time being, you'll be Ruo Nan's assistant. Help her with her school and accommodation issues. From now on, follow Mr. Zhao's instructions."
Xiao Hong: "Understood, boss!"
And so, he inserted Little Red into it.
Actually, assistants and managers are different. A normal assistant just needs to take care of the artist's life, so the requirements are not high.
Then Han Ziming said to Zhao Siyao:
"President Zhao, you arranged for Zhang Songwen, the teacher from Yanying, to open a training class for Ruonan to learn acting, and Xiaohong will also attend the class with her."
In addition, she is scheduled to take the entrance exam for Yanying Film Academy early next year.
After she gets accepted, we should talk to Mr. Li and discuss transferring her to the Beijing Film Academy. She still needs traditional acting training.
In fact, after leaving the Beijing Film Academy, Zhang Songwen founded his own acting training class, which he has been running ever since.
Of course, this was a proper class, but even if it wasn't, he still had Xiao Hong watching him all the time.
This training course mainly teaches film and television performance techniques and method acting.
Although some media outlets reported that Zhang Songwen was struggling financially after he became famous, he was actually hundreds of times better off than the average person. I heard that he earned more than 5000 yuan per class.
Han Ziming reminded him, "By the way, Mr. Zhao, could you take a look at Yan Ying and see if they have any suitable people they could sign? For example, Wang Ziqi, isn't he starring in our movie?"
"Boss, after the list of potential actors for the company's projects came out, I went to discuss the signing of contracts with them."
Zhao Siyao explained with a smile.
