The artists under her include Cheng Baixiang, Cheng Yixun, Wang Fei and others, which shows that she has extraordinary abilities and is also lucky. Otherwise, she would not be able to be the agent of Cheng Baixiang, Cheng Yixun, Wang Fei and others.
"Mr. Xie has already told me this, but I just can't understand it. I'm just an ordinary person, and there are many people in TVB who are more capable than me. Why did Director Zhang choose me to be your assistant?" Chen Jiaying said in confusion.
Suddenly one day, Xie Xiaojin found her and said that Zhang Qiurui specifically wanted her to be his assistant. At first she thought it was a scam, and she didn't know director Zhang Qiurui. After Xie Xiaojin explained, she realized that they were from the mainland and came to Hong Kong, and that Zhang Qiurui had filmed a movie before and won the Best Director and Best Supporting Actress at the Cannes Film Festival, one of the three major international film festivals.
Chen Jiaying later learned that Zhang Qiurui also came to Hong Kong to shoot a movie, and she said that this movie was her attempt to enter the Berlin Film Festival.
Chen Jiaying couldn't help but feel a bit curious and respectful towards the young director Zhang.
She has worked at TVB for many years and knows that winning awards from the three major international film festivals is definitely the honor that every film practitioner dreams of.
What's more, Zhang Qiurui not only won the award, but also successfully made the actors famous, which is undoubtedly a great affirmation of his directorial talent and vision.
"I can only say it was fate. I accidentally saw you, Ms. Chen, one time, and I felt that you were very suitable to be my assistant.
"Besides, I believe in my judgment. Ms. Chen, your experience at TVB has proven that you possess outstanding professional skills, which I urgently need." Zhang Qiurui smiled, her eyes revealing an indescribable determination and confidence.
You can't say that you are one of the four major agents in Hong Kong in the future, and I specially found you to be my assistant first.
After hearing what Zhang Qiurui said, Chen Jiaying felt a warm feeling in his heart.
She had never thought that her work experience and ability would be praised so highly. She was originally a little biased in her heart, but after Chen Jiaying heard what Zhang Qiurui said, her willingness to lean towards it became stronger and stronger.
Being touched is touching, but being touched cannot make a living, and the conditions still need to be negotiated.
"Director Zhang, since you think so highly of me, I won't hide anything and will speak frankly.
You are from the mainland. If the company goes bankrupt, you can just leave. I am from Hong Kong and cannot leave. Then I will have to find a new job, which will be a big problem.
Although TVB is a bit unkind, the salary is stable and I still have a lot of room for advancement.
On the contrary, when I came to Hai Kuo Tian Kong Films, I could only be Director Zhang’s assistant, which…” Chen Jiaying did not continue to speak.
What she meant was that although she was eager to switch to Haikuotiankong Films, she also had some concerns.
After all, the trade-off between stability and the unknown is something everyone has to consider when facing career choices, but as long as the money is in place, everything will be easy.
"Ms. Chen, how much is your monthly salary at TVB?" Zhang Qiurui knew what Chen Jiaying meant. It was just a pay increase, so she went straight to the point.
"Three thousand...three thousand five hundred Hong Kong dollars a month." Chen Jiaying originally wanted to say that the actual salary was three thousand Hong Kong dollars a month, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed it to three thousand five hundred.
"I'll pay you 6,000 a month. You can work as my assistant first to gain some experience. When you're able to work on your own, you can find artists to sign and I'll let you be their manager.
If you do well, it is not impossible for you to become the company's broker director.
If Ms. Chen feels my words are baseless, we can write this into the contract." Zhang Qiurui doubled Chen Jiaying's original salary, expressing his unquestionable sincerity and determination.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaying's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by incredible joy.
HK$6,000 a month is almost double her current salary at TVB! Furthermore, Zhang Qiurui also promised a future career path, from assistant to agent, and then to agent director. Such promotion opportunities are almost unattainable dreams at TVB.
"Director Zhang, are you painting a rosy picture for me?" Although Chen Jiaying was tempted, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. After all, such a good thing sounded too perfect, so she had to be cautious.
"Ms. Chen, I, Zhang Qiurui, always keep my word. Although Haikuotiankong Pictures is new, we have ambitious goals.
I have already filmed two films in Hong Kong, and my classmate Li Shaohong has also finished filming one.
Do you think this is just empty talk, or do you think we're just here for fun?" Zhang Qiurui glanced at Chen Jiaying with a half-smile.
"Director Zhang, please give me your guidance in the future. However, I hope that the promises you just made will be implemented in the contract." Chen Jiaying finally made up her mind. There was a hint of firmness and expectation in her voice.
"Welcome to join our big family." Zhang Qiurui smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.
He successfully recruited a capable assistant, which also added more possibilities for the future of Haikuotiankong Films.
The subsequent contract with Chen Jiaying was signed very quickly. What Zhang Qiurui said was written down in the original contract. After Chen Jiaying resigned from TVB, he was able to join Hai Kuo Tian Kong Films and become Zhang Qiurui's assistant.
"Qiu Rui, are you optimistic about Chen Jiaying?" Xie Xiaojin overheard the negotiation between Zhang Qiu Rui and Chen Jiaying. They were almost willing to pay a large sum of money to recruit Chen Jiaying as Qiu Rui's assistant. With this price, they could hire two or three assistants. Xie Xiaojin couldn't help but feel a little curious.
