Chapter 602: Hard work is useful, why do we need sponsors?
After a busy day at work, Gu Wei had dinner at a high-end restaurant near the company in the evening.
"Sit down, tell the waiter what you want to eat, and eat with me today."
This is a French Western restaurant, and Gu Wei has his own private room.
After ordering his own dishes, he called to the assistant who was following him.
Yang Chaoyue looked surprised.
Although she had eaten with Gu Wei before, most of the time she just played the role of a dining companion, accompanying him to have fun and relieve boredom.
Normally, on the set or in the company, the boss usually doesn't invite her to join them.
"What are you standing there for? Do you want me to treat you?"
"Oh, okay, boss." Yang Chaoyue was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly sat down opposite Gu Wei.
I took the menu from the waiter and skillfully ordered a few of my favorite dishes.
Although she doesn't often eat at this kind of high-end restaurant, she comes here often.
After following Gu Weitian all over the country for the past two years, Yang Chaoyue is no longer the country girl who has never seen the world.
He often visits various high-end places at home and abroad, and even takes private jets frequently.
Not to mention anything else, when Gu Wei was filming "Divas Hit the Road 3", she followed him throughout as his assistant.
Spanning three continents and multiple countries.
It's just that she was with the program crew, and with her were Yang Dan and other staff members of Gu Wei's personal team.
It is impossible to just pick up a suitcase and go with the production crew when recording a travel reality show. Gu Wei's personal team is always by his side to ensure that they can serve him at the first time when he needs them.
Before long, both of their dishes were served.
"Do you still remember Mr. Long from Wajijiwa?" Gu Wei said while cutting the steak on his plate.
"Is that Long Danni, President Long?" As an assistant, Yang Chaoyue naturally knew the relationship between his boss and Wajijiwa.
Gu Wei nodded.
"Mr. Long's company is currently working closely with Tencent Video.
She was the director of last year's singing talent show, "The Coming One."
Yang Chaoyue blinked her innocent big eyes, not knowing what the boss meant by this.
"Currently, Mr. Long is preparing a new talent show variety show, still in collaboration with Tencent Video.
But this time we’re working on a girl group.”
Having said that, Gu Wei paused and looked up at Yang Chaoyue.
"There's a variety show in South Korea called Produce 101. Have you ever seen it?"
"I've watched a few episodes."
“Go back and watch that variety show from beginning to end.
The new variety show bought the copyright of [Produce 101] and is called [Creation 101].
101 female trainees were selected from major agencies across the country. Through tasks, training, and assessments, the contestants grew under the guidance of star mentors. Finally, 11 contestants were selected to form an idol group and debut.
Hearing the boss say this, Yang Chaoyue felt something in his heart and suppressed his inner excitement.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
“This is what I said before, your chance to debut.
"Produce 101" will start recording around the end of March. Hand over the work you have, pack up and go directly to Wajijiwa," Gu Wei said casually as he cut a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth.
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Yang Chaoyue could no longer suppress her inner excitement, but she still forced herself to act reluctant.
"Boss, I can't bear to leave you. Can you get used to not having me around?"
Gu Wei rolled his eyes at him while chewing steak.
"Please, could you please suppress the corners of your mouth when you say this, so that you can at least pretend to be more convincing.
No one in their right mind would do such a thing as not being a star but just being my assistant."
"I really can't bear to do it, I'm not pretending, haha." After all, she is just a 20-year-old girl. She doesn't have any scheming, and she can't be furious while looking calm.
After being happy for a while, Yang Chaoyue asked again.
"The variety show won't start filming for another three months. There's no need to go to Wajijiwa so early, right?"
I definitely want to be a star, but I am indeed reluctant to leave Gu Wei.
"[Produce 101] is a competition between 101 trainees, not amateurs.
These young girls were selected from major domestic talent agencies. Although they may not have trained for two and a half years, at least they have received professional training.
Not only are they young, beautiful, and have good figures, most of them also have special talents, such as singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, etc.
If you really wait until the program starts recording, the instructor will ask you what your special skills are.
You said I'm good at cleaning rooms, organizing clothes, and being a life assistant?"
Gu Wei said unhappily.
"I've already made a call to Boss Long. She started her career on Mango TV with Super Girl. Wajijiwa has a professional process for training trainees for various boy and girl groups.
You should go and train for a few man-months. I won’t say what the results will be, but at least you can catch up with the average level of everyone else on the show.”
“Oh, I see.”
Yang Chaoyue agreed, and then fell into the beautiful imagination of debuting as a star. He couldn't stop laughing and couldn't control his emotions at all.
Gu Wei actually didn't care too much about arranging his assistant's debut. It was simply because he had promised her in the beginning and he had a relationship with Wajijiwa, so he just went with the flow.
Yang Chaoyue does have this potential, and it is impossible for Gu Wei to keep him by his side and serve him as an assistant.
[Produce 101] was the platform where she made her fortune.
In the original time and space, Yang Chaoyue was first a trainee at a small agency in Shanghai called Wenlan Culture. Later, the company formed a girl group called CH2.
Although they are called a girl group, they actually have no fame at all. The small company has no resources and they usually do live streaming and showgirl work.
Showgirls are young women who demonstrate products or perform for manufacturers at various exhibitions such as games, animation and movies.
It's pretty much a model's job, earning hard-earned money.
Just as she said on the show, the monthly salary is 2,000 yuan including food and accommodation, but this job is already very good for her, a woman from the countryside with no education and whose previous job was a factory worker.
It was not until the huge success of "Produce 101" that Yang Chaoyue debuted as a member of a group and signed with Wajijiwa, and became more and more popular, becoming the "lucky fish" Yang Chaoyue.
Now she just didn't go to Shanghai to be in the girl group for more than a year, but worked as an assistant to Gu Wei. However, at this point, the line of fate was going back to her original path because of Gu Wei's idea.
Gu Wei was not worried at all whether Yang Chaoyue, who lacked more than a year of experience in a girl group, could still break through the siege and become famous as she did in the original time and space.
Although there are fewer experiences, the core of a person's character and temperament has not changed.
And it’s different from the original time and space where she came from a small company and everyone thought she became famous because of good luck.
Yang Chaoyue now has one of the biggest backers in the entertainment industry, her boss Gu Wei.
As a shareholder of Wajijiwa and with the cooperative relationship with Tencent Video, it is natural for Bao Xiao's assistant to be promoted step by step.
What's more, Gu Wei heard that the initiator and chief producer representative of the girl group of "Produce 101" was Huang Zitao.
Not to mention his relationship with Taotao, the other party still owes him a favor.
It's not difficult to just say hello and ask him to take care of his own people.
There is no way there is no shady dealings in the entertainment industry. The so-called fairness and justice are relative. Strength is important, but relationships and interests are also important.
"Boss, I'm leaving. What are you going to do here?" The silly little assistant finally remembered his boss.
She knew that even if she debuted as an artist, she could only rely on her boss.
“It’s hard to find people with the potential to be stars, but there are plenty of people who can be life assistants.
The company has already made arrangements for me, so you can hand over the work to them later."
"Aren't I just worried that the newbie has no experience and can't take good care of you, the boss?" Yang Chaoyue looked like he was thinking of you.
"Weren't you also a newcomer when you first took up the job, and you did quite well afterwards.
Besides, your sister Dan is still here. If she can bring you out, she can naturally bring others as well."
"Boss, I've been your life assistant for two years. How come you don't feel any reluctance to leave now?"
The work started immediately and the assistant was not as timid as usual.
"Don't be so pretentious, finish this meal and go back to have a good rest at night.
In addition to handing over work tomorrow, I will come to the company to sign the agency contract.
You can’t use your previous labor contract when you become an artist in the future,” Gu Wei continued.
"OK!"
Yang Chaoyue happily agreed, and then ate the pan-fried French lamb chops and grilled eel in front of him with big mouthfuls.
After eating a few bites, she looked up at Gu Wei.
"Boss, can I have a bottle of red wine to celebrate?"
"You really are acting like a former employee."
"No way, I won't quit. I'll sign the artist contract tomorrow and I'll still be your employee.
As long as you don't mind, boss, I'm willing to work for you forever!"
Yang Chaoyue is very smart. She knows that to earn a salary as an assistant, she just needs to do her job well.
In the future, if you want to become famous and make more money as an artist, you can only rely on your own boss.
She hasn't been working in vain in the past two years. Although they are all artists in the entertainment industry, their fame and income vary greatly.
"Don't flatter me. If you want to go far in the future, you still have to rely on your own efforts."
After saying that, Gu Wei asked the waiter to open a bottle of red wine.
Yang Chaoyue nodded like a chick eating rice, and it seemed that he was humbly accepting Gu Wei's advice.
But she didn't agree with it in her heart.
'If hard work pays off, all my former factory colleagues should have become rich.
Teacher Zhang Songwen in the company has worked hard for more than ten years but is still unknown.
It was not until he signed the contract with the company that he became a little famous in recent years thanks to the resources provided by the company.
Boss, I have never seen any of the stars you have promoted become famous through their own efforts. They all rely on the resources you have provided.
Especially the company's top star Nazha, who has become a top star without any setbacks along the way.
This kind of chicken soup can only fool young people who don't know much about the business.'
Gu Wei was very satisfied to see that Yang Chaoyue listened to his advice humbly, and began to impart his experience to her.
"Being a trainee in a girl group mainly relies on singing and dancing skills, and these are also what you will learn in the next few months.
After becoming famous as idols, they usually develop into actors.
This is the form of domestic entertainment. The popularity of simple singers is relatively low and the market is not big.
If you want to maintain your popularity or have better development, you can either become a variety show star or go to film a movie."
As he spoke, he remembered something and glanced at Yang Chaoyue opposite him.
"Well, actually, with your personality, it wouldn't be bad for you to be a variety show star after you become famous. It's easy and profitable."
Yang Chaoyue nodded in agreement throughout, with an expression that said, "The boss is right, I will definitely work hard."
I don’t know how much of what Gu Wei said she listened to.
As they were talking, the waiter had already poured red wine for the two of them.
Gu Wei raised his glass.
"I wish you all the best in your future career, and may you shine like a star and live up to your youth!"
"Thank you, boss, I wish you great fortune!
I hope I can become famous in the future and make more money for my boss! "
The next day, after handing over his work and completing all the procedures, Yang Chaoyue looked reluctant to leave.
“Your assistant has quit and even your personality has become more lively.
It's not a separation of life and death.
Pay more attention during training. After all, you are someone who goes out with me, so don’t embarrass me.
If Mr. Long tells me that the girl in your company is not good at anything, where will I put my face?"
After Gu Wei finished speaking, he looked at Yang Chaoyue, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"What else do you want to say?"
"Forehead
Boss, I’m an artist now, so can I still live in the apartment that the company originally allocated to me?
Do you still have your previous monthly salary?"
Gu Wei was left speechless by Yang Chaoyue's question.
"You're going to be a big star, why do you still care about this little money?"
"But I don't know what will happen in the future. It's hard to say whether I can make money. It's impossible to have any income during training and competitions," Yang Chaoyue said with a look of grievance.
"You can continue to live in your original apartment, and the company also has better and higher-end residences for its artists, and you can move there too.
Your salary will still be paid to you normally every month as before, and your five insurances and one fund will not be interrupted.
Are you satisfied now?"
If "koi" becomes popular, its ability to attract money is exaggerated, and these are nothing.
“Thank you, boss!
The boss is the best!"
Hearing what Gu Wei said, Yang Chaoyue looked very happy.
It's better to consider defeat before victory. No matter what, with the boss's guarantee, she will not lose her job at [Weiming Tianxia].
