Chapter 80 Chapter 80
Gu Xingshi didn’t know that Zhou Chengyan’s artist had another scandal until the next morning.
Looking at the hot search topic #Lu Haoxing meets a beautiful woman in Paris#, Gu Xingshi couldn’t help but ask the system: [I remember Zhou Chengyan bought the paparazzi photo last night? How did it get leaked?]
System: [Oh, don’t mention it. Zhou Chengyan paid for the paparazzi photo, but he didn’t expect Lu Haoxing’s sex partner to take a photo and accidentally upload it to the Internet, which made him go crazy.]
Gu Xingshi: […]
This was so tragic that he felt sorry for Zhou Chengyan.
System: [Originally, Lu Haoxing had an event today, but because of this incident, he had to return home early. Of course, Zhou Chengyan had more than just this one thing when he returned home…]
Gu Xingshi was shocked: [What else? ! 】
System: 【Zhou Chengyan has a female artist named Jiang Manman, who looks innocent and is known as the nation's first love. However, she is a super love-brained person, and she always meets a scumbag. Once they break up, she will be so disheartened that she wants to quit the circle, and then she will like a new scumbag a week later. But compared with the male artists under Zhou Chengyan, she is already very worry-free. 】
Gu Xingshi: 【……】
System: 【This time, too, she was supposed to join the crew to shoot a new drama, but she was addicted to the scumbag's gentleness and accidentally got pregnant. Now she is shouting that she wants to quit the circle and get married and have children. But in fact, this scumbag has a wife and children, and he is just playing with her. She was afraid that Zhou Chengyan would control her like before, so she simply kept it a secret from him, until she got pregnant this time, and she couldn't hide it anymore. 】
【But she not only has a new drama contract, but also several endorsements. If this gets out, she will have to pay a lot, so Zhou Chengyan can only rush back to comfort her and solve this problem. 】
Gu Xingshi couldn't help but say: 【His profession is not actually an agent, but a firefighter, right? 】
System: 【Isn't it! If it were another agent, if any of these things happened, the artist would probably be in trouble. It is only under Zhou Chengyan's management that they have achieved what they have today. But they don't think so. They all think that they can become famous by their own ability, and they always blame Zhou Chengyan. 】
Gu Xingshi frowned: 【Don't they have any idea about themselves? 】
It can only be said that those who are good at fighting have no glorious achievements.
Zhou Chengyan is too strong. He can always be sensitive to crises and strangle them in the cradle, and he also behaves as if he is doing nothing, which makes these people ignorant of the immensity of the world.
They have no idea that they can't even pass the first round of screening in Leshi.
If it weren't for Zhou Chengyan's strong ability, they would have been eliminated from the entertainment industry long ago.
Gu Xingshi felt sorry for Zhou Chengyan when he thought that Zhou Chengyan's strong ability was used by Jingchuan Entertainment to clean up the mess of these collapsed celebrities.
Thinking of this, Gu Xingshi had an idea.
Jingchuan Entertainment is squandering resources, so it's normal for him to dig a little deeper, right?
So, he immediately called the company's personnel and asked them to first understand the situation of Jingchuan Entertainment, especially those related to Zhou Chengyan, and then he would go to recruit him personally when he returned to China.
-
Before getting on the plane, Zhou Chengyan first sent Lu Haoxing's public relations copy.
To be honest, with the photo, this copy can play a very small role.
Sure enough, the fans did not recognize it at all, and many of them quit being fans.
Lu Haoxing felt a little panicked at this time, and couldn't help but blame Zhou Chengyan: "How could you write such a big fuss with your copywriting?"
Zhou Chengyan was almost amused by him: "Is it my copywriter's fault that the matter got so big? Isn't it because you can't control your lower body that you made a fuss?"
Lu Haoxing didn't think he was wrong at all: "How would I know that woman could take pictures! Besides, I didn't expect fans to be so fragile and make such a big fuss about such a small matter!"
Zhou Chengyan: "...You call this a small matter? From the first day you debuted, I told you that this was serious. If I hadn't been cleaning up your mess all these years, you would have disappeared from the entertainment industry at the speed of your collapse."
Lu Haoxing said as a matter of course "Aren't you an agent? This is your job!"
Zhou Chengyan: "...It's also your job not to mess around. Why can't you do it?"
Lu Haoxing was choked and couldn't help but said: "I'm not the only one who messes around in the entertainment industry. Aren't they fine? You
're the only one who's nagging." Zhou Chengyan: "Fine? Don't you care about those who have failed?"
He didn't bother to talk to Lu Haoxing anymore, and directly ordered his assistant to send him home, and sternly instructed: "You must keep an eye on him. If he does anything else, even gods can't save him. You two will suffer together then!"
Lu Haoxing wanted to complain, but under his stern eyes, he reluctantly shut up and got in the car with his assistant.
After arranging Lu Haoxing, Zhou Chengyan had no time to adjust to the time difference and hurried back to the company.
At this
time, Jiang Manman was still crying and wanted to quit the entertainment circle to get married and have children. Zhou Chengyan slapped a pile of information in front of her: "It has been checked clearly. This man has a wife and children, and he is a habitual cheater. He has been convicted more than once."
Jiang Manman was stunned: "I don't believe it! He said he loves me very much, will marry me, and then go to the Maldives for honeymoon!"
Zhou Chengyan: "He said this to your previous mistresses..."
Jiang Manman didn't want to believe it, so she called the other party on WeChat, only to find that she had been blocked, but she still called the other party again and again.
Zhou Chengyan frowned slightly and took her phone from her: "Okay, is it useful for you to deceive yourself now?"
Jiang Manman cried: "You are so ruthless and cruel."
Zhou Chengyan waited patiently for her to finish crying before continuing: "Then I will continue to be ruthless and cruel, - do you still want this child?"
Jiang Manman cried: "Without a husband, what do I need him for!"
Zhou Chengyan pressed his forehead: "Then have the surgery as soon as possible, I will turn down the new drama for you, and help you abuse a wave of fans, but you have to think clearly, this will definitely have an impact on your future career."
Jiang Manman agreed reluctantly.
Zhou Chengyan contacted the hospital and asked his assistant to take her there. He also posted a new Weibo using her account, saying that it was a recurrence of an old injury and she withdrew from the new drama due to physical reasons.
After the Weibo post was published, fans went wild.
[My Manman is so pitiful! I said the new Reuters photos didn’t show her looking good! ]
[Companies and agents are garbage. They only know how to exploit artists every day. Count how many times Manman's old wounds have recurred! Do you think you can bully her just because she has a good temper?]
[I'm really impressed! Can you face up to the fans' demands and replace Manman's stupid agent?]
...
Zhou Chengyan clicked on Jiang Manman's comment area, took a look, and closed it expressionlessly.
He was actually prepared to be scolded like this.
But he still felt a little aggrieved.
However, he was only weak for a short while before he cheered up and dealt with the rest of the things.
But after he was busy for a few days and finally solved all the problems, he was called over by the director of the agency department.
After hearing what the director said, Zhou Chengyan was stunned: "You said, Yao Zidong wants to change his agent?"
Yao Zidong is his newly signed artist. He is a professional, good-looking and capable, and most importantly, he has no bad habits.
He can be said to be the artist that Zhou Chengyan has spent the most energy and resources on. In order to let him be an artist with a clean record, Zhou Chengyan has blocked countless arrows for him. He would rather drink until he vomits at the wine table than to protect Yao Zidong.
The director's words were like a hammer hitting his head, making him unable to recover for a long time.
At this time, the door of the office opened, and a short and thin man walked in with Yao Zidong.
Zhou Chengyan frowned: "Liang Xiaowei?!"
This is another agent of the company, but he doesn't get along with Zhou Chengyan.
Zhou Chengyan looked at him, then at Yao Zidong behind him, and asked in disbelief: "Is he your new agent?!"
Yao Zidong avoided his gaze.
Zhou Chengyan looked at him steadily: "Why?"
He asked himself that he had done nothing wrong to Yao Zidong.
He actually wanted to change agents without saying anything.
Yao Zidong did not answer.
Liang Xiaowei said sarcastically, "Why else? Of course, it's because I'm more capable than you!"
Zhou Chengyan tightened his chin and said to Yao Zidong, "Okay, let's not talk about ability. If you have any opinions about me, why don't you communicate with me, but go behind my back and directly contact other agents?"
Hearing him say this, Yao Zidong couldn't help but say, "Didn't I communicate with you? Look at what resources you have got for me in the past year or so? I worked so hard to act, but in the end, a drama flopped without any splashes. Those who debuted with me and are not as capable as me all have hit dramas in their hands. Even if they don't act well, they are on the hot search every day!"
"Take the recent big IP drama, for example. You said you couldn't get a role, but how come Brother Liang got one? I've had enough! If you don't have the ability, then you don't have the ability, don't say those high-sounding things!"
Zhou Chengyan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but closed it in the end.
It's not like he didn't explain it to Yao Zidong.
As a newcomer who had just debuted at the time, this was already the best resource he could get, and no one could guarantee that the drama would be a hit.
As for the big IP drama, the director had already hinted to him that the investor had taken a fancy to Yao Zidong, and if he was willing to sleep with the other party, he could consider the role.
But Zhou Chengyan knew that the investor had a violent personality and liked to play letter games, so he refused without hesitation.
But Yao Zidong never took it to heart.
He just complained that he couldn't make him a hit.
Yao Zidong was still complaining about him.
This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Zhou Chengyan suddenly felt very tired.
He had been in this industry for so many years, thinking about the artists, working hard, and conscientiously, but in the end he was neither a good person nor a good person.
"If you want to change, then change." Zhou Chengyan interrupted him and asked the director, "He is not the only one who has this idea, right? Tell them all at once."
The director hesitated and said, "Actually... Lu Haoxing also mentioned it, what do you think?"
Zhou Chengyan waved his hand: "Let him do it."
He signed the agreement, walked out of the office dejectedly, and walked blankly on the street.
For the first time, he doubted whether his approach was right?
Artists hated him.
Fans hated him.
Maybe he is just not suitable to be an agent.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
Zhou Chengyan answered it subconsciously: "What happened?"
Gu Xingshi's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Manager Zhou, it's me."
Zhou Chengyan: "Mr. Gu?!"
Gu Xingshi's voice seemed to be distorted due to the transmission of electric current: "Manager Zhou, I am calling to ask if you are interested in working in our Le Shi?"
Zhou Chengyan: "!!!"
The phone almost slipped from his hand, he quickly grabbed the phone, his voice trembling slightly "Boss Gu, I didn't hear you clearly just now. You want to recruit me to Leshi?!"
Gu Xingshi: "Yes."
The two words of affirmation made Zhou Chengyan dizzy. He subconsciously asked: "Why?"
Gu Xingshi: "Of course it's because you are capable! I really admire your thinking, judgment and decision-making as a broker. I think you have the potential to become a gold medal broker!"
Zhou Chengyan: "!!!"
He didn't even know he was so good.
"Of course." Gu Xingshi said without hesitation, "For you, I deliberately ended my trip to Paris early."
Zhou Chengyan's heart was hit again.
For so many years, he has never felt so important.
Not to mention the salary package that Gu Xingshi proposed later, which also made him dizzy.
Having been an agent for so many years, Zhou Chengyan has long been immune to the operation of drawing cakes.
But Gu Xingshi was not drawing cakes at all, he had already made the cake and put it in front of him.
If he still didn't agree, he would have to get up and slap himself every night.
-The
next day, Zhou Chengyan changed his previous decadence and took the initiative to find the director: "I want to resign."
The news spread throughout the company in an instant.
After hearing it, Liang Xiaowei immediately ran to see Zhou Chengyan's jokes with a gloating look on his face.
Zhou Chengyan had already completed the resignation procedures neatly and neatly, and packed up his personal belongings.
Liang Xiaowei thought he would see anger or frustration on his face, but there was nothing.
Zhou Chengyan's expression was calm, and if you looked closely, you could even detect a hint of joy.
Joy?
Liang Xiaowei was stunned.
But then he realized that Zhou Chengyan was pretending.
So he deliberately said: "Xiao Zhou, I didn't expect that Yao Zidong's change of broker was such a big blow to you..."
But Zhou Chengyan didn't even look at him.
A staff member nearby couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, what will we do after you leave?"
"Yeah. xx caused those things, and no one can solve them except you."
"Brother Zhou, you are too considerate of them."
"Brother Zhou, we can't bear to leave you!"
Even several intern brokers came to see him off, and their words were full of gratitude for his teachings.
Zhou Chengyan was a little surprised.
He was very strict with these intern brokers, and thought that he would not have a good reputation among them.
But in fact, anyone who is attentive can see how much Zhou Chengyan has done.
Especially for them, the oppressed lower class, they can feel how good Zhou Chengyan is.
Liang Xiaowei was unhappy and deliberately asked: "Xiao Zhou, which company do you plan to go to after you resign?"
Zhou Chengyan glanced at him: "What does this have to do with you?"
"Aren't I just concerned about you?" Liang Xiaowei said hypocritically, "It's not easy to change jobs in our industry, and the new company may not be better than the current one!"
Zhou Chengyan: "Thank you for your concern, but the new company I'm going to should be considered a top company in the industry."
"Top in the industry?" Liang Xiaowei sneered, "You're not going to say it's Le Shi, are you?"
Zhou Chengyan was surprised: "How do you know?"
Liang Xiaowei: "..."
"You are not crazy because of the blow, are you? Do you know how difficult it is to get into Le Shi? Especially the brokerage department. All the brokers in Le Shi are from big companies and have unique skills. Even Mr. Gu himself is one of the top brokers in the industry. What are you worthy of? How can he look down on you?"
Zhou Chengyan ignored him and walked out directly with the cardboard box.
Liang Xiaowei followed him indignantly.
At this moment, someone exclaimed: "That... That's Mr. Gu!"
Everyone looked outside the company.
There was a car parked there, and the person standing next to the car was Gu Xingshi.
Liang Xiaowei was shocked.
Zhou Chengyan, this kid, wouldn't he really sign with Le Shi! !
But he quickly comforted himself, maybe Mr. Gu came here to do some work?
After all, their company is located in a place where many entertainment companies gather, so it doesn’t mean he is coming to their company.
The next second, he heard Gu Xingshi waving in their direction: "Chengyan! This way!"
Liang Xiaowei: "!!!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Chengyan.
Zhou Chengyan stuttered: "Gu, Mr. Gu, you called me?"
Gu Xingshi strode over: "Yes."
Everyone looked at Zhou Chengyan in shock, they didn't expect that he actually knew Mr. Gu!
Could it be that what he said about joining Le Shi was true? !
Only Liang Xiaowei still didn't want to believe it.
He remembered that it has been rumored recently that Le Shi has a drama that is currently casting, maybe Mr. Gu has taken a fancy to one of Zhou Chengyan's artists!
Zhou Chengyan reacted so strongly to Yao Zidong's change of agent, maybe it was because President Gu took a fancy to Yao Zidong!
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he quickly said: "President Gu, Xiao Zhou has resigned, Yao Zidong is my artist now, if you want to..."
"Yao Zidong? Who?" Gu Xingshi looked at him inexplicably, "Of course I know Chengyan has resigned, isn't that why I came here?"
Everyone: "?!!!"
A staff member couldn't help asking: "President Gu didn't come here specially to pick up Brother Zhou?"
"Yes." Gu Xingshi admitted without hesitation, "If I don't take the initiative, I'm afraid that such an excellent talent will be snatched away by others!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Damn!!!
This treatment is enviable!!
