Chapter 81 Chapter 81
Zhou Chengyan was still dazed until he started working.
Not to mention that President Gu came in person to accept this kind of treatment, not to mention their Jingchuan Entertainment, all the entertainment companies in their office building knew about it.
Looking at the regretful and remorseful expression of the former boss, and the jealous and shocked face of Liang Xiaowei next to him,
Zhou Chengyan felt that he had vented his resentment for the past few years.
When he arrived at the company, it was a different feeling.
Before, Zhou Chengyan only heard that Le Shi had good treatment and good conditions, but he had no idea to what extent.
Until he entered Le Shi himself.
Let alone the basics such as working environment and salary, Le Shi directly pulled it to the top.
The most important point.
The working atmosphere in Le Shi is very relaxed.
Because of the abundance of resources, artists do not need to fight for a resource. They just want to get the one who is capable. What the agent needs to do is to find the right position for the artist and select the right resources for him/her.
Although there is competition within Leshi, it is all benign, with competition for ability and hard work.
As long as you have enough ability, you will not have to worry about not being able to stand out.
Therefore, the artists in Leshi have very good relationships and are very united.
Previously, a new artist from Leshi went to participate in a variety show. Because of his outstanding performance, he was targeted by another more experienced guest.
As a result, Cheng Xin from the next studio was shaken over before the variety show was finished, and the show was not over until the guest apologized to the newcomer.
Because of this, a saying has been circulating in the circle - don't offend people from Leshi, even if they are just assistants.
After all, no one knows what kind of "monster" the other party will shake out!
Zhou Chengyan deeply agrees with this point.
After all, he had just joined Le Shi, and when he was being targeted, he shook out the hidden card - President Gu.
After introducing the company's situation, Gu Xingshi asked someone to take him to the Artist Management Department. The artists here are trainees who have not yet debuted or artists who do not have agents to lead them for the time being.
Zhou Chengyan knows it very well.
As an agent, especially a newcomer, you generally cannot sign artists by yourself at the beginning, but you have to obey the company's arrangements and lead the artists assigned by the company.
Many of these artists are left over by other agents.
This can be said to be the unspoken rule of major brokerage companies. Therefore, Zhou Chengyan was not surprised by Gu Xingshi's arrangement.
That’s how Lu Haoxing and his friends were assigned to him. He didn’t believe that artists who had passed through layers of screening and entered Leshi could not be worse than Lu Haoxing and his friends, right?
Then when he saw these people practicing, he was dumbfounded.
They are so awesome, are they the artists left over by others? !
And the trainees, with their looks, singing, and dancing, they beat many active boy and girl groups, okay! He
would be ecstatic if he came across such a seedling, but now there is a large group in front of him, and no one wants them.
Zhou Chengyan suffered for so many years, and he became rich overnight. Seeing these good seedlings wasting their time, he felt very distressed.
If he didn’t have a little bit of rationality left, he really wanted to pull them all into his arms.
After hearing what he said, the director of the artist management department couldn't help laughing: "Our Le Shi is different from other companies. It doesn't mean that there will be no work without agents, and they are not the leftovers."
"For example, Lin Xiayu Lin, the agent... Oh no, now she should be called Director Lin. She only wants to be Qian Wei's agent, and President Gu also agreed to her, but she will also be responsible for some of the affairs of other artists in the company."
Zhou Chengyan thought: "Shared artist agent?"
Shared artist agent means that multiple agents serve one artist, for example, someone is responsible for the artist's film and television contract, someone is responsible for the artist's business contract, and so on.
And each agent will serve multiple artists at the same time, with clear division of labor and no interference.
This model is more popular abroad, and they all serve big-name artists.
Domestic agents are more accustomed to being tied to artists, and are responsible for their work and life.
The director added: "Our company will not force an artist to be tied to an agent. After all, President Gu said that a forced relationship is not sweet. We hope that agents and artists can agree on each other's ideas and choose to cooperate only when both parties are willing."
Zhou Chengyan's eyes were moist after hearing this.
When he was assigned to Lu Haoxing and other monsters in his original company, there was no room for refusal.
He is not born to like to clean up other people's messes.
It's just that because he couldn't refuse and had a sense of responsibility, he persisted year after year.
The director told him that if he had artists he wanted to bring, he could communicate with them, and if both parties were willing, they could first have a three-month trial period, and then sign a formal agency contract when both parties were satisfied.
This model was very novel to Zhou Chengyan, but he quickly accepted it.
After a comprehensive understanding of these artists, Zhou Chengyan communicated and cooperated with an actor named Yan Jingxi.
Yan Jingxi has a refreshing and clean appearance, with the temperament of a big boy next door, and a bit of the feeling of a senior in the sports department, which is very popular now.
Now there are two scripts in front of him.
One is the male lead of a low-cost sweet drama, and the other is the male fourth in a widely watched big IP fairy drama.
After Zhou Chengyan analyzed it, he decided on the male lead of the sweet drama for him.
But before telling Yan Jingxi the result, he suddenly thought of Yao Zidong and hesitated.
Yao Zidong had stabbed him in the back because of a role in such a big IP drama.
After all, as an agent, Zhou Chengyan had to consider subsequent resources, actor positioning, and route planning.
But artists only need to consider one thing, that is, to be popular.
So, he subconsciously explained a few more sentences: "You are relatively young now, and your positioning is not clear enough. It is better to play a role that fits your own temperament so that the audience can remember it first. Although that IP drama looks very popular, the fourth male character does not match your temperament very well, and the effect may not be particularly good after the performance."
He paused, "Although this little sweet drama is not as popular as the IP drama, this script is good. If it is well filmed, it still has the hope of becoming a small hit."
Yan Jingxi nodded: "I know, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Chengyan was stunned for a moment: "You...really know? If you have any dissatisfaction or opinions, you can tell me directly."
Yan Jingxi shook his head honestly: "Brother Zhou, I don't have any opinions. What you said makes sense. I will listen to you."
Zhou Chengyan had seen many thorns before, and it was the first time he saw such a well-behaved artist, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Yan Jingxi comforted him instead: "Brother Zhou, you are the agent invited back by President Gu himself! You must have confidence in yourself!"
Zhou Chengyan: "..."
After many years of working in the industry, I have comforted countless artists, but this is the first time I have been comforted by an artist.
But I have to say, this feeling is really good!
Yan Jingxi is indeed a very worry-free artist. He
is a self-disciplined and successful artist.
Moreover, he trusts Zhou Chengyan very much. As long as Zhou Chengyan says something, he will do it without any compromise.
Zhou Chengyan also gave him a few notices based on his personality.
As a result, after the notice was over one day, Zhou Chengyan received a call from Yan Jingxi.
Yan Jingxi on the other end of the phone felt extremely guilty and nervous: "Brother Zhou, I... I seem to have been photographed!"
Zhou Chengyan: "!!!"
What is coming will always come!
He quickly calmed down and asked calmly: "Don't panic, tell me first, what was photographed?"
At the same time, he was constantly planning various public relations measures in his mind.
Then he heard Yan Jingxi whispered: "Increase, increase the height of the insoles!"
Zhou Chengyan's brain was stuck: "...What?"
Yan Jingxi said sadly: "Now everyone knows that I am a liar, I am not 180cm tall anymore..."
Zhou Chengyan: "..."
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
That's it? ?
He couldn't help asking: "Jingxi, is there nothing more serious?"
Yan Jingxi: "Isn't this serious? This is the dignity of an actor!"
Zhou Chengyan: "..."
That night, he looked at his public relations plan.
It feels like killing a chicken with a butcher knife.
Is this Le Shi?
Life is so lonely as snow!
He flipped through the hot searches on Weibo and saw a familiar name.
#江曼曼小三#
#江曼曼流產#
【Laughing to death, habitual miscarriage, no wonder old wounds are revived! 】
【When a female star is cheated by a scumbag, I usually sympathize with the female, but I can't sympathize with Jiang Manman at all. She is a scumbag and still pays for him. The filter of the nation's first love is simply broken. 】
【I have been a fan of Jiang Manman for many years, and I am really tired. She always says she will work hard, but her acting skills are always lame. She is an independent and sober heroine, but she pays for the scumbag in private. Now think about it, I am not a fan of her at all, it's all her personality! 】
【Hasn't Jiang Manman's black material been exposed a long time ago? It's just that the company reacted quickly, so it didn't spread widely. 】
【No way, isn't Jiang Manman's company pretty rubbish? Didn’t the fans want to change the agent before, and it became a hot topic? 】
【I just read Jiang Manman’s previous PR draft, and I can only say that the former agent is awesome! Such black material can also be brought back with extreme PR? ! 】
【So Jiang Manman’s fans got what they wanted! They changed the agent, but ended up killing themselves. 】
...
Zhou Chengyan was surprised.
Everything had been arranged before he left, how could it be exposed?
Gu Xingshi was also asking the system the same question.
System: 【After Zhou Chengyan left Jingchuan Entertainment, Jiang Manman was assigned to another agent. Seeing that Jiang Manman was in the hospital, the other party transferred her assistant to another of his artists. 】
【Without an assistant watching, Jiang Manman actually got in touch with the scumbag again. The scumbag came to the hospital to see her, but was discovered by the scumbag's wife, who brought people to the hospital to beat up the mistress and even filmed a short video and uploaded it to the Internet, exposing Jiang Manman's previous experience. 】
【The new agent's public relations skills were not very good, so the matter became a big deal. Jiang Manman was also out of the limelight, and because of the scandal, her reputation was ruined, and she had to pay a huge sum of money to the brand she endorsed...】
Gu Xingshi: [...]
System: [Not only Jiang Manman, but that Lu Haoxing is also in trouble! ]
Gu Xingshi: [Tell me quickly so that I can be happy. 】
System: […After he got a new agent, he still did what he wanted to do, and went out to mess around. As a result, he was photographed again, and the new agent was very angry. Guess what he said? 】
Gu Xingshi was curious: [What did he say? 】
System: [He said that Brother Zhou could handle this kind of thing before, why can't you? Because he said something unpleasant and his attitude was asking for a beating, the new agent directly beat him up, and the two of them started fighting. The neighbors called the police, and when he was taken to the police station, he was photographed again, and then he was arrested as a prostitute. 】
[Because of his previous bad things, netizens believed them quite a lot, and no one believed the company's clarification. Anyway, the house collapsed completely, and now it's cold. 】
Gu Xingshi: […I don't find it surprising. If it were n't
for Zhou Chengyan, they would have collapsed long ago.
Now think about it, Zhou Chengyan's mental strength is quite strong. He has worked with such monsters for so many years and he has not collapsed yet.
Gu Xingshi thought so and silently gave Zhou Chengyan a thumbs up.
Zhou Chengyan was in pain when he received Gu Xingshi's WeChat.
"Old Zhou, how is your dancing going?"
Zhou Chengyan felt that everything about Le Shi was good, except for one thing -
why at the annual meeting of an entertainment company, the people who went up to dance were not artists, but agents!!!
