Chapter 85 Broker

After the celebration banquet, Liu Zhou could finally have a good rest for a few days.

During this period, Liu Zhou has been busy with publicity and has been keeping an eye on the box office situation.

Now that the movie is out of theaters, Liu Zhou no longer has to keep an eye on it and can relax.

However, although Liu Zhou can take a rest, Zeng Li still has to go back to school to prepare for the graduation performance.

There are already several famous students from the 96 Acting Class, and at present, the most famous one is undoubtedly Zeng Li.

Teacher Chang Li had not originally intended to assign a more important role to Zeng Li, but when she saw that Zeng Li had nothing to do recently, she assigned her the role.

With Zeng Li's participation, the graduation performance of the Central Academy of Drama's acting class will undoubtedly receive more attention.

So in the next few days, Liu Zhou rested in the courtyard and prepared his graduation thesis, while Zeng Li went to and from school as usual.

As for the new movie, Liu Zhou plans to prepare it after returning from Hong Kong.

That day, Zeng Li came back from school and went straight to Liu Zhou.

"What's wrong? The meal is ready for you, don't you want to eat?"

"I have something I want to discuss with you."

Liu Zhou also put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile:

"Tell me, what's the matter? Why make it so formal?"

"Today, an agent named Wang Jinghua came to school to find me and said he wanted to sign me."

"Wang Jinghua? Is she the agent of Chen Daoming and Xia Yu?"

"Yes, it's her. She gave me a lot of analysis today and said she would make me the next Gong Li."

"Do you believe what she said?" Liu Zhou asked with a smile.

"I don't believe it. She doesn't have the ability to make movies. In mainland China, agents don't play as important a role as they do in Hollywood."

"Since you don't believe it, why don't we just ignore her?"

"Zhou Zhou, even though I know Wang Jinghua is just making big promises for me, I think it's time for us to have an agent.

Recently, many companies have come to our school, which not only makes me a little annoyed, but also makes many money-making opportunities slip away. "

"This is indeed a problem. Now that we are no longer unknown, we should have an agent to help us handle some affairs."

"So I think Wang Jinghua is okay. I heard that she takes good care of her artists. Why don't we ask her to be our manager?"

When Liu Zhou heard Zeng Li's words, he slowly shook his head and said:
"Forget about her. Let's look for someone else. She's too ambitious and has close ties with the people in the Beijing circle. It's better for us to find a pure agent."

It’s not that Liu Zhou rejects the Beijing circle, but he has already had an argument with Feng Kuzi, and it will be difficult for him to integrate into the Beijing circle headed by Huayi Brothers in the future.

Wang Jinghua will officially join Huayi next year, and then move around a lot before finally setting up her own company.

Liu Zhou and Zeng Li are not ordinary actors. They only need an agent who can serve them. They don’t need him to have strong resources and abilities.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Liu Zhou pulled Zeng Li over and asked her to sit on his lap, saying:
"Don't worry, I'll find an agent in the next two days."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry actually. Oh, I have something else I want to tell you."

"What did you say?"

"Today, Mr. Tian Youliang, the head teacher of the 98th acting class, came to me and asked me to ask you if you would still invest in drama."

Liu Zhou was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of something and said:

"I'll go meet with Mr. Wada tomorrow and see what the details are."

Liu Zhou used to want to do drama, but now he puts all his energy into movies. Although drama can also make money, the plate is too small after all. The most important thing is that Liu Zhou has no time and no one to manage the drama.

But Liu Zhou suddenly thought of Happy Twist in later generations. After switching to the film industry, its market value skyrocketed, and Tian Youliang seemed to have a good relationship with the founder of Happy Twist.

At that time, Happy Twist had not yet been established, and Liu Zhou was thinking about whether he could set up a flag first. It just so happened that Qin Hao had always wanted him to set up a drama troupe.

The next day, Liu Zhou came to school, but found that Tian Youliang was not there, so he had to go home.

Since he was not there, Liu Zhou decided to solve the agent problem first.

As for the choice of agent, when Zeng Li mentioned it yesterday, he already had a choice in his mind.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhou immediately called Chen Kun.

Because of Huang Xiaoming, Liu Zhou and Chen Kun are also familiar with each other. Although their relationship is not as deep as that with Huang Xiaoming, they have exchanged contact information with each other and are considered ordinary friends.

That afternoon, Liu Zhou met the person he wanted to meet in a cafe.

Looking at the young woman who was a little uneasy sitting opposite him, Liu Zhou smiled and said:

"Your name is Zeng Jia, right? I heard from Chen Kun that you just joined Rong Xinda this year?"

"Yes, I wonder what Director Liu wants to talk to me about?"

"Then I have something to say. Are you interested in leaving Rong Xinda and working for me?"

Liu Zhou’s candidate for agent was Zeng Jia.

If we were to ask which agent in mainland China is doing the best, it would undoubtedly be Zeng Jia.

Even though Wang Jinghua is so awesome now and will make waves in the entertainment industry in the next few years, she will not be able to be compared with Zeng Jia in twenty years.

He started out as a small agent and worked his way up step by step, and finally made a stunning turnaround and became an entertainment industry investor.

He has also managed many artists, from Zhou Gongzi at the beginning to Yang Mi later, all of whom are well-deserved popular stars in the circle.

Historically, she also served as Zeng Li's agent.

At this time, Zeng Jia had just graduated from college and was only three years older than Liu Zhou.

Liu Zhou doesn't need her to have too strong abilities now, just be able to complete the basic work of an agent.

And if she starts training now, maybe she can become a strong assistant to Liu Zhou in his career in the future.

So the first person Liu Zhou thought of was her, and then he asked Chen Kun to invite her out.

"Director Liu, you are serious, right? You are a big director now, and I am just a small agent who has just entered the industry."

Of course she knew Liu Zhou, as he was the most popular person in the circle recently. Zeng Jia really didn't expect that Liu Zhou actually wanted to poach her.

"Do you think I asked you out specifically to play a joke on you?"

Zeng Jia thought about it and it seemed to be true. There was no need for people to joke with an unknown person, but she still had a question:
"why me?"

"No reason. I needed an agent, so I asked around in the industry and found that you were the one who best met my requirements."

"Ok."

Although Zeng Jia felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, he didn't say much.

"So what do you think? Do you agree to work for me?"

"I can't give you an accurate answer right now. I need to think about it."

"Understood. If you have thought it over, you can call me, but it will only be valid for three days."

After saying that, Liu Zhou handed her a business card and left the cafe.
