Accidental Mark - Chap 12
Chap 12
]
The next day, Cheng Xia ordered the alarm clock at 7 o’clock in the morning, got up quickly to wash and eat, and carefully arranged her clothes in the mirror.
The jeans that his mother picked for him were very good-fitting. They were paired with a camel-colored cashmere sweater and a white down jacket. Although this style of dress in the cold winter is not particularly brilliant, it will never go wrong.
Cheng Xia got dressed, Jiang Qiong found another scarf and handed it to him: “Cool down these days and put on the scarf. By the way, it’s not easy to take a taxi during peak hours…” She turned to the kitchen and shouted: ” Old Cheng, would you like to drive your son over?”
Cheng Yiming poked his head out: “Okay, I’m free anyway.”
Cheng Xia said while wearing a scarf, “Mom, I have an appointment with my agent at 8:30, and there is more than an hour left, no need to send it…”
Cheng Yiming wiped his hands and came out from the kitchen, looked at his son up and down, and said solemnly: “You are just a small transparent now, and you don’t have a nanny car. Dad will be your driver himself today. Let’s go, go early, don’t be late.”
Cheng Xia had to obediently follow him out.
Leaning over to change shoes, Jiang Qiong suddenly asked: “By the way, Xia Xia, I have packed my down jacket, when will you return it to the senior?”
Cheng Xia’s heart jumped-the down jacket belongs to President Pei. He will see President Pei today, but he can’t return clothes to the boss in front of so many people in the company. He will definitely gossiping when he is seen. The down jacket has to be returned privately. If it is really inconvenient, then always ask Pei for an address and express it? Thinking of this, Cheng Xia said, “Mom, you can put it away for me first. I’ll ask the senior when I want it.”
Jiang Qiong glanced over the special trademark on the collar of the down jacket. This brand is an international first-line designer brand. It is very valuable. Of course, it is not uncommon for the students of the film school to have children from wealthy families. It is just that such expensive clothes can be lent to Cheng. Xia Chuan, really just “seeing Cheng Xia as a younger brother”?
Jiang Qiong always felt that something was not right, but she did not dismantle her son, silently put the down jacket away.
Cheng Yiming drove to Tianxuan Building with his son.
It snowed and the road was slippery. He drove slowly. It was already past eight o’clock when he arrived at the company. Cheng Xia got out of the car and waved goodbye to his father. A black car happened to be coming by. Cheng Xia turned her back to the roadside and didn’t notice that it was President Pei’s car.
Pei Shaoze saw the young man standing in the snow at a glance.
The teenager wore a white down jacket and black jeans, with a smile on his face, and was waving at the driver of an off-road vehicle. The other party put down the car window and exhorted: “If you are wronged at the company, you must tell your father when you go home!”
Cheng Xia smiled and said, “I know Dad, go back and drive slowly on the road!”
Pei Shaoze saw the driver’s profile from the window that was rolled down. The middle-aged man had tough features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very serious-this is Cheng Xia’s father, Cheng Yiming?
In the original book, Cheng Yiming was maddened to death. He loved Cheng Xia very much. Finally, his raised son was abused and humiliated by others, naked-photos spread all over the Internet, and netizens’ abuse letters were even sent home… Self-blame, guilt, pain , So that this upright father could not afford to be ill, and also made Cheng Xia completely blackened in sadness.
Now looking at Cheng Xia’s bright smile when he said goodbye to his father, Pei Shaoze more firmly wanted to protect the boy.
Not only Cheng Xia, but also Cheng Xia’s family.
He did not want Cheng Xia’s father to die in guilt, nor did he let Cheng Xia’s mother die in despair. Now that you know the plot of the original book, make arrangements in advance to prevent all bad things from happening.
Pei Shaoze withdrew his gaze, did not disturb Cheng Xia to say goodbye to his father, and drove around by the side.
At the same time, Zhou Yan received the message from Cheng Xia and went downstairs to pick up the person in person.
After seeing the young man waiting at the entrance of the company, Zhou Yan couldn’t help being stunned. There were many photos of Cheng Xia in the information that Mr. Pei had given her before. Today, when she saw a real person up close for the first time, she felt that Cheng Xia herself looked much better than the photos. Up.
There is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but Cheng Xia feels very special. His handsomeness is not offensive, nor does he have that distant feeling of alienation. The boy is handsome and sunny, especially when he laughs, that kind of pure, brilliant smile can melt all the barriers in people’s hearts, like a little sun, making people feel warm and kind.
The first impression is so important. The first time she saw Cheng Xia, she felt that this kid could be popular!
No wonder the company’s scouts signed Cheng Xia, which was obviously attracted by Cheng Xia’s outstanding appearance.
Cheng Xia is also looking at the people in front of him-he is nearly 1.7 meters tall, thin, with white skin, with short hair, wearing a black knee-length coat and high leather boots. The hem of the coat follows when he walks. The wind is flying, heroic, and at first glance is the kind of woman who is very neat.
Seeing the woman looking at herself, Cheng Xia asked tentatively: “Sister Yan?”
A smile immediately appeared on Zhou Yan’s face: “Hello, Cheng Xia, I am very happy to be your agent.” She took the initiative to stretch out her hand, and Cheng Xia politely shook her hand: “I will ask Yan sister later. Take care!”
“Let’s take pictures of each other, and cooperate happily.” Zhou Yan retracted his hand, without much nonsense, and led him into the Tianxuan Building: “The Legal Department is on the 11th floor. I have already greeted that side. Let’s go over and check the contract first. ”
Cheng Xia followed her and took the elevator to the Legal Department on the 11th floor.
Zhang Fan was waiting at the door of the office, and when he saw them, he took the initiative to greet him: “Sister Yan, is this Cheng Xia? Mr. Pei asked me to pick you up and go to the office to find him after signing the contract.”
Zhou Yan said politely, “Assistant Zhang has worked hard.”
Cheng Xia was taken into the office. With the heating on in the company, he took off his down jacket, and Zhou Yan took his clothes smoothly. Cheng Xia smiled at the agent’s sister, Zhou Yan returned a smile, and said, “Please read the contract carefully. If you don’t understand, just ask me.”
People from the Legal Department quickly brought the printed contract.
Cheng Xia sat in the rest area, reading carefully page by page, but Zhou Yan did not urge him.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly pointed to one of the pages: “Sister Yan, I don’t quite understand the division here…”
Zhou Yan followed his finger to look over and explained carefully: “This is the contract that President Pei asked to revise the legal affairs. The division is calculated according to different projects. The film and television dramas pay 60% of the artists and the company 40%. Although the company will help you to contact the film and television dramas, but The shooting process is very hard, so you take the big head. Other projects like commercials, advertisements, print magazines, etc., the company contributes more, so the company gets 60%, you get 40%. When you become famous in the future, share the proportion It can also be improved in stages.”
The new version of the contract does not fix the share, but provides for the signing of a supplementary agreement every other year. Film and television, and the other four or six are the ratio of newcomers. As artists become more popular and famous, the share they receive will increase accordingly. If you are not satisfied with the share, you can re-negotiate with the company every other year. In this way, those famous stars will not quit because of “unfair treatment”, and the newcomers will have a stronger sense of belonging to Tianxuan.
The new version of the contract that President Pei has made legal reforms is very flexible and user-friendly. It is much better than the previous type of contract that lasted eight years and ten years and also stipulated dead share.
Cheng Xia carefully read the contract: “I don’t have any comments.”
Zhou Yan confirmed: “Is there no opinion on the timing of the visa after five years?”
Cheng Xia shook her head: “No. It takes time to cultivate an artist, and the five-year cycle is not long.”
Zhou Yan smiled and said, “If there is no problem, then sign. After signing, we will copy the ID card, and we will get the contract to sign Mr. Pei. He is now your top leader.”
***
Zhou Yan took Cheng Xia and took the VIP elevator to the top floor with Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan knocked on the door lightly, and the man’s low voice sounded in his ear: “In.”
Cheng Xia took a deep breath and walked into the office with her agent.
Pei Shaoze was looking at the information at his desk, and when he heard footsteps, he raised his head.
Cheng Xia’s gaze suddenly ran into a pair of familiar eyes.
The two looked at each other in the air, Cheng Xia couldn’t help but froze——
Sitting in the office, Alpha wore a very formal dark gray suit. The buttons of the white shirt were buttoned up to the top, and he wore a standard Windsor tie. Liu Hai combed it up, revealing a smooth forehead and a pair of beautiful sword eyebrows.
Alpha’s looks are already handsome, and this hairstyle makes the lines of his entire face look sharper and tougher, a bit less dangling dude, but a bit more stable and mature. Coupled with the decoration of a suit and tie, Alpha in front of him is full of inviolable abstinence.
Compared with the first meeting, Pei Shaoze, who was sitting in the office today, had a strong aura, and Cheng Xia did not dare to approach him for a while.
Zhou Yan took the initiative to introduce: “President Pei, I brought Cheng Xia.” She looked back at Cheng Xia, “This is President Pei.” She motioned Cheng Xia to say hello with her eyes.
Cheng Xia and Pei Shaoze have seen each other a long time ago, and it was a very bad meeting when they were naked and pheromone was out of control.
Thinking of the scene that night, Cheng Xia was a little guilty, but still bite the bullet and stepped forward and asked obediently: “Good for Mr. Pei.”
Seeing the boy’s body tightening as if being called by the teacher, Pei Shaoze’s lips raised slightly, and his voice was rare and gentle: “Don’t be nervous. Come here, sit down and say.”
Cheng Xia had to walk over and sit down on the sofa.
Zhou Yan handed over the contract to President Pei: “Cheng Xia’s contract has been signed.”
Pei Shaoze took it and looked at the signature on the last page.
The words signed by Cheng Xia were round and round, and quite cute.
Pei Shaoze asked in a low voice, “Is there anything you don’t understand about the contract terms?”
The man’s eyes were cast on him, Cheng Xia reacted, he was asking himself, and hurriedly said: “No problem, Sister Yan explained to me in detail.”
“That’s good.” Pei Shaoze picked up the pen, signed his name neatly on a few contracts, and handed it to Zhang Fan: “Go to the legal affairs department to get the official seal, the company archives two copies, the broker one, and give it to Cheng Xia. Keep a copy.”
Zhang Fan went to work diligently.
Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia and asked: “Tian Xuan has many directions for the cultivation of its artists, such as music, variety shows, film and television, what do you think of the future?”
Speaking of business affairs, Cheng Xia immediately got serious and said without hesitation: “I want to be an actor.”
Pei Shaoze asked: “Why?”
Cheng Xia replied very seriously: “I’m not afraid of Mr. Pei’s jokes. Being an actor has been my dream since I was young. My father is an actor. I grew up watching his movies, and I want to play different roles like him. Of course. I have only studied in the film academy for one year, and I will definitely be relatively unfamiliar in acting, but as long as the company gives me the opportunity, I will definitely work hard and practice hard!”
Sure enough, the boy’s eyes brightened when he mentioned acting.
He really likes this industry.
Pei Shaoze nodded, and handed Zhou Yan the folder that had been organized a long time ago: “This book is a very popular campus novel. Tianxuan has long won the copyright and has not had time to shoot. You go back and let the newcomers carefully Read the information again, and after a while, I will arrange it, and then take them to the audition.”
Boss, does this mean to set up a project to shoot a school drama? Did she understand it right? !
Zhou Yan was very excited, but her years of work experience calmed her down quickly, stepped forward and took the folder respectfully, and asked: “President Pei, do newcomers in our group have a chance for this campus drama?”
“Well, the drama I personally invested in is best performed by the artists in our group. Unless they perform too badly, I will consider choosing people from the outside.” Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia and said calmly: “Cheng Xia, you Go back and make preparations too.”
Cheng Xia immediately stood up and said: “I will, thank you Mr. Pei!”
The company wants to invest in the filming of campus dramas. Such a good opportunity is in front of him. He must study hard when he returns and strive to win an important role!
