Chapter 8 Sugar Man
The popularity of the website exceeded Zhou Mu’s imagination.
Due to the viral spread of many classmates' QQ, Zhou Mu's website has more than 5,000 daily page views.
The largest number of visitors reached more than 13,000.
Moreover, it is still increasing, which makes Zhou Mu have to find someone to strengthen the construction of the web page.
Now when Zhou Mu walks in school, he can always meet senior brothers and sisters he doesn't know and say hello.
After all, the school is big, and everyone in the school has basically seen Zhou Mu’s website.
Zhou Mu is now considered a celebrity in school.
Especially the teacher, I like it even more.
Content like Zhou Mu’s is a bonus to their teaching.
When students make good projects, teachers can also enjoy a lot of dividends.
Hu Ge and Yuan Hong are even more exaggerated. Now the class songs in Zhou Mu's class have been turned into a love that never breaks up.
In this way, Zhou Mu's first semester at the Shanghai Academy of Drama is almost coming to an end.
The time has come to the end of December, and New Year’s Day is only a few days away.
"Tomorrow a film and television company will come to select actors. Then go over and give it a try."
After class, Teacher Zhang from the acting class went to find Zhou Mu and confessed.
This is the benefit of having a good relationship with your teacher.
"Teacher, which company is it?"
"Sugar Man, it is said that this time it is a TV series cooperating with Zhang Weijian. Not only do we have to select the actors in the show, but we also need to select some students to sign with the company."
Teacher Zhang did not hide anything and told Zhou Mu everything he knew.
The current Sugar Man has only been established for a few years, but its development momentum is very good.
This year's popular "Legend of Heaven and Earth" starring Little Tornado and the Lotus Lantern received very good ratings.
It's a pity that when Zhou Mu was reborn, Hu Ge was the only one left to play the leading role.
However, what impressed Zhou Mu the most was Cai Yinong, the boss of Sugar Man.
This is a real pretty girl. It is said that if you want to sign a sweetheart, you must first conform to her aesthetics.
And.
Not to mention compared with domestic agents, even compared with many celebrities, Cai Yinong's appearance is not bad.
Back in the dormitory, Zhou Mu told Hu Ge and Yuan Hong about the incident.
The three of them agreed to go there and have a look tomorrow.
Just.
When Zhou Mu and the others arrived the next day, they still underestimated the appeal of the film and television company to these students.
In the end, he relied on Zhou Mu's body to forcefully squeeze out a passage for Zhou Mu and the others to enter.
"Come here?"
Teacher Zhang stood at the door and nodded after seeing Zhou Mu and the others.
"You'll go in in a moment."
Not long after, a girl walked out, and Teacher Zhang quickly winked at Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu, Hu Ge and Yuan Hong said something and went directly into the classroom.
"Please take a seat."
In the classroom, Cai Yinong sat in the first row, with a laptop on the table and three people sitting behind him.
Zhou Mu glanced at the laptop. It was from ASUS. In this day and age, a laptop costs more than 10,000 or 20,000, right?
"Introduce yourself."
Cai Yinong's appearance is indeed impressive. Before Zhou Mu was reborn, all he saw were photos of her after she was in her thirties.
At this time, Cai Yinong, who was in his twenties, was not inferior to Liu Sisi in Zhou Mu's memory.
"My name is Zhou Mu, a freshman in the acting department. I am 1.83 meters tall and weigh 70 kilograms."
Zhou Mu simply introduced himself.
"Are you Zhou Mu? The short films you shot are pretty good, and the songs you sing are pretty good. You composed all the lyrics and music?"
Zhou Mu was a little surprised as to why Cai Yinong knew about him, but thinking of Teacher Zhang, Zhou Mu still had some suspicions in his heart.
"Yes, I learned some in junior high school."
Zhou Mu didn't hide it. No matter who checked it, it would be the same. He had learned it in junior high school.
"Are you interested in signing a contract with Sugar Man? If you want to make a record, we can also help you."
Zhou Mu was indeed considering Cai Yinong's words carefully.
The early Sugar Man is indeed a very good choice.
Moreover, I have just started now, and the domestic entertainment industry has not yet been baptized by capital. After all, each circle has its own territory.
It is definitely impossible for a person to venture alone.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mu no longer hesitated.
"I can sign a contract, but what are the specific contents?"
"Don't worry about this. I'll tell you personally in a moment. Let the next one come in first!"
When Cai Yinong heard Zhou Mu's promise, a smile appeared on his lips.
Zhou Mu stood up and went out to signal Hu Ge and Yuan Hong to come in.
The two made concessions, and Yuan Hong walked in first.
"How was it?"
Teacher Zhang looked at Zhou Mu with concern, and Zhou Mu nodded.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang. I agreed, but the details will have to wait until the end of the session. Can you help me look at the contract later?"
Zhou Mu’s gratitude comes from the bottom of his heart.
When Teacher Zhang heard Zhou Mu's words, he also showed a smile.
"No problem, I'm still sure of this."
The interviews between Yuan Hong and Hu Ge were also very fast, and just like the original history, both of them chose to sign the contract.
The smile on Teacher Zhang’s face became even brighter.
Being able to sign a contract before graduation means that the three of Zhou and Mu have more possibilities.
But then no one else signed up.
But Teacher Zhang is already very satisfied.
Later, Zhou Mu, Hu Ge, and Yuan Hong signed the contract in Teacher Zhang's office.
An eight-year contract means nothing to Zhou Mu.
Strictly speaking, the main reason why Sugar Man declined in the later period was that a large number of artists whose contracts had expired left.
The main reason why so many artists leave is that Sugar Man’s contract is really not strict.
Moreover, Cai Yinong also became friends with the company's artists.
Even artists who terminated their contracts with Sugar Man later on still maintained contact with Sugar Man.
From here we can see the character of Sugar Man, or Cai Yinong.
Apart from anything else, when Hu Ge was injured in 2006, Cai Yinong would rather stop work and pay for it than wait until Hu Ge recovers.
This is also the main reason why Hu Ge never terminated his contract with Sugar Man.
Therefore, even though it was an eight-year contract, Zhou Mu didn't really care.
Moreover, according to Zhou Mu's idea, he can definitely acquire Sugar Man's shares within a few years.
Zhou Mu, who has many works in his mind, is very confident about this.
As for the income, it is divided 50-50, which is basically the case for newcomers.
Of course, those idols are not included. After all, in idol practice rooms, there are not many people who sign 28 or 91 at the beginning.
"Welcome to become a member of Sugar Man. I will take you to the company first."
After the signing was completed, Cai Yinong took Zhou Mu and the others directly to the company.
The company is quite far from the school, and it takes nearly forty minutes by car.
After arriving at the company, Zhou Mu and the others were taken directly to the photography room and began shooting promotional albums.
The resumes of the actors are photos of their various styles.
Moreover, it must be light makeup so that the director can clearly see your facial expressions.
Zhou Mu and the three of them spent the whole morning filming under the manipulation of the photographer.
