Blackstone Code Chapter 813: The rich have unique taste
Life is like a dream. There are good things and bad things in the dream.
For several days, Nelly felt like she was living in a dream that wasn't so real.
Lynch bought her something he called "worthless gadgets", but no matter how worthless it was, it was extremely expensive for Nelly.
It's like the snow-white bear fur coat she's seen in many shop windows. The specially processed soft white bear fur swells on the outside, and when you put it on, the whole person looks like a big snowball.
Every time she sees this dress in the window of some store passing by, she stops and looks at it for a while.
Every girl has a lot of colorful dreams, and she has them too, but she also knows that this is not a dream that can be satisfied, and not all dreams will come true.
Many times, it's only a nightmare that can finally come true.
Tens of thousands of dollars. According to her current income, it will take about twenty or thirty years before she can wear it.
But it was such an unexpected few days that she wore it decades earlier.
The soft fur made her want to hug her tightly all the time. It was so comfortable. The gentle and silky hand made people ignore the passage of time.
And all kinds of jewelry and accessories, she owns them all.
What surprised her even more was that Lynch bought her a lot of things, but he didn't give her any money.
Weird, isn't it?
She felt the same way. She paid so much, and although she did get a lot of good things, why was Lynch unwilling to give her a little money to improve her life?
Don't everyone say that after being nurtured, will you become rich?
Until the moment she left, Lynch didn't mention it, and she was too embarrassed to ask.
This is the biggest difference between her and Penny. If it was Penny, she would definitely pick one and ask this question while riding on Lynch.
And Nelly, because of shyness or other reasons, she didn't have the guts to ask.
Just as she was about to return to Laltimore, Lynch unexpectedly gave her the answer she wanted.
"You are not someone's personal belongings, let alone my mistress. Your personality is always independent."
"I respect your personality, and I won't directly use money to humiliate you to make you feel like a pet or something."
"Only independent women in the new era will be appreciated and loved. I believe you can do well!"
"And you don't have to worry about money, you'll soon see that money isn't hard to come by!"
These words of Lynch made Nelly feel a little inexplicable, a feeling of being played for nothing, but this is different from being played for nothing, because Lynch bought her a lot of valuable things.
So this is a very contradictory feeling. Obviously, those things are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but when it was time to pay, he didn't pay a penny.
Not only will it not make people hate him and hate him, but it will make people feel an indescribable relief.
Back in the afternoon of the day in Laltimore, before Nelly could get out of the station, the staff of Fox Films was waiting for her at the station holding a sign.
It was a thin woman in her thirties, wearing neutral clothes and short hair. She looked very refined and had a strong aura.
There were two young men, a man and a woman, beside her. It was obvious that they were attacking. They lacked that kind of powerful momentum.
Nellie hesitated, then went up to meet her.
It stands to reason that this kind of pick-up service from the station will not be used for a low-level contracted performer. Only movie stars and company executives can enjoy this kind of treatment.
She actually didn't realize what Bu Paine's journey means these days. It's not as simple as being "played in vain", many things have undergone tremendous changes in the process of "playing in vain" .
"Hello, Nellie, I'm your new manager..." The imposing and capable lady stretched out her hand, and a smile appeared on her tense face, "From today From now on, your contract will be upgraded to the second gear, and I will be fully responsible for everything in your work and life!"
She emphasized, "It's everything, we will live together." She turned around and introduced the other two staff members to Nelly.
The two are also employees of the company and part of the "Team Nelly".
This is one of the benefits of living with Lynch, quickly climbing to the top of the company.
Nellie is a little uncomfortable with this change. "The house I live in is very small..."
She means that her small apartment can't hold so many people. The new agent has clearly told her that their team will always be together, whether it is work or life, which also means that they will be squeezed together. .
This makes Nellie a little embarrassed, that little apartment is really too small.
But her agent laughed, "It doesn't matter, the company's benefits for the second-tier contracted actors include provisions for improving the living environment."
"We have a community of our own in the suburbs. You will have a single-family house in it. Of course, only the right to use it. We will live together."
Nellie's eyes were all round. She had heard of this place. In fact, the third-grade contracted actors were eligible to live there, but they lived with the other third-grade contracted actors.
You can live alone with your team when you reach the second gear.
If it reaches the first stage, it will directly live in a villa in the urban area, and it is even possible to directly transfer the house as a gift to the star who signed the contract.
When I was a low-level actor student, everyone always imagined that this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come true, and it was so fast!
"I still have some things to check in..." She greeted her. Lynch didn't buy too many things but not too little. A girl would definitely not be able to carry them, so those things were entrusted to the warehouse.
The agent directly put his arms around her shoulders, and led her out. At the same time, he took the ticket from her hand for picking up the goods and gave it to the male assistant beside him, "What you need to do now is not to think about those things. , but pick the script!"
Nellie paused for a moment, "Choosing the script...does it have anything to do with me?"
She still hasn't been able to react, or adapt to it. She has been at the bottom for too long, and she has seen too many shattered dreams. She doesn't believe in these things, so she hasn't realized that she is in Bupe En's hard work and dedication entered the harvest season so quickly.
The agent continued to walk forward with her arms around her shoulders, "Of course, the company plans to spend 300,000 yuan to shoot a romance film. You are lucky to be chosen as the heroine."
"You know, no one in our industry is as important as the protagonist..."
In fact, the agent has not finished speaking. The correct statement is "no one is as important as the person behind the protagonist".
Until the agent led her to the house assigned by the company, she was dizzy, and gradually understood why Lynch didn't give her money, because it was really unnecessary.
She can make money with her own ability. This is Lynch's respect for her. She understands Lynch's painstaking efforts!
Of the company's 300,000 filming expenses this time, 50,000 yuan was paid to her. Considering that her popularity is still very low, 50,000 yuan is actually a lot, or even more than a lot.
"I personally suggest that you talk to the production department of the company and take the initiative to lower your salary..." Sitting in a neat, clean and bright living room, the manager was peeling fruits imported from Nagalil , said while saying.
Having just eaten the pulp she received from her manager, Nellie was a little puzzled, "Why?"
The agent handed over the remaining pulp in his hand, and then picked up a wet towel to wipe his hands, "Because your starting salary is too high, you will not dare to use you in future projects."
"To be honest, although I don't know exactly whose path you took, but I took over this job, and I will be responsible for you."
"Now you have no status at all. You are just a newcomer. When other newcomers take on the role of heroine at a time like you, the salary will not exceed 10,000 yuan, and many are only 3,000 to 5,000 yuan."
"The company gave you 50,000 yuan. This is too much money. Your starting height is too high. If people want to use you in the future, it must be at least 50,000 yuan."
"But you haven't been able to prove your worth in the whole circle, and honestly, I don't think you're worth the money."
"I also believe that many people will have the same opinion as me, which will lead to the fact that once you leave the company's business scope, you will not get any film appointments!"
"No one else will take such a big risk to invite you. If you can't make more genres and filmmakers, your development path will be very narrow."
After listening carefully, Nelly nodded, "I will tell the company, if this is the case, we can reduce the salary a little bit lower, for example..."
"10,000 yuan?"
The agent didn't answer the question immediately, but instead asked, "Can you tell me a little bit about who's path you're taking?"
An unknown signing student suddenly put up a file and started to choose a script ~IndoMTL.com~ If there is nothing in this, the ghost will not believe it.
There are advantages and disadvantages to quickly ascending in this way. If you encounter some people who are not strong enough, it may not last for a few years.
But if you meet someone who can stand up, your future career can be arranged a little easier.
To brokers, these differences are roughly equivalent to the difference between "tickets" and "cars."
The ticket is to allow Nelly to quickly become popular. As long as she is strong enough, she may not be able to stay on the top floor.
But in this case, she will have to work harder, of course, in terms of acting and managing contacts.
If it is a car, at least it can carry her to a high enough height quickly. As long as she is not too useless, the entertainment industry will have her place anyway.
Nelly hesitated, but finally told her agent.
From the day she entered the industry, she knew how important an agent was to an artist.
The agent gasped when the name "Lynch" came out of her mouth.
The way she looked at Nellie also became a little strange. She didn't find anything particularly attractive about Nellie that would make a character like Lynch fancy her.
She is far less young than Penny, and it is said that she was only seventeen when Penny and Lynch met, and age is also an important factor for men.
And Nelly, who is twenty-two years old, has no advantage at all.
