Chapter 427 I introduced all my best friends to him
Yang Hongxia just sighed for a moment and quickly put the matter behind her.
Because Yang Hongxia is very busy now, she has no extra energy to pay attention to Lian Xiaoyu's affairs. Moreover, since she chose to submit her resume here through blind application, and passed the formal written test and interview, she has reached the final stage.
Yang Hongxia felt that she still needed to be treated fairly, at least in the final round of interviews, to give Lian Xiaoyu a fair chance to compete with others.
Only when Lian Xiaoyu finally wins the competition for the job will Yang Hongxia start to worry.
After all, Lian Xiaoyu’s nickname “The King of Tricks” still appears from time to time in the barrage of “Longing for the Yard”.
Now, let’s have a meeting!
The disputes with Shanghai Film Group are all within the scope of normal cooperation. They are some tug-of-war over the contract terms. Apart from being time-consuming and labor-intensive, they are not difficult to resolve because in the end, a balance point that both parties feel is more appropriate will always be found.
However, when it comes to interviewing new artists, Yang Hongxia clearly does not have the patience to go through every detail word by word.
Firstly, newcomers who want to enter the entertainment industry now no longer have to rely entirely on management companies to open up the market for them as they did in the past.
On the contrary, many newcomers have their own resources or traffic before they start trying to enter this circle.
There are people who have nothing but rush in based on their own personal conditions and courage. It's not that there aren't any, but they are very few.
Second, today's brokerage companies and brokerage contracts are more flexible and diversified than they were a decade ago.
With the rise of artist studios in large numbers, new entertainment and brokerage companies have followed suit, reforming and integrating themselves so that they can provide services to artists more flexibly.
Contrary to what the public imagines, the actual agency contract is not of a single type, and not all of an artist’s activities and resources are controlled by one agency.
It may also be commonly divided into: full contract, or film and television contract, record contract, business contract, agency contract, etc. according to the scope of the agency's agency affairs.
It can also be divided into independent contracts and shared contracts based on whether the brokerage activities are handled by one or several brokerage companies at the same time.
In practice, brokerage contracts with different names can be drafted according to the scope of agency agreed upon by the artist and the agency. For example, if the artist entrusts all agency matters of his or her performing arts business to a single agency, it can generally be called an "Exclusive Performing Arts Promotion and Development Contract"; if only the agency matters of his or her film and television performances are entrusted to a single agency, it can generally be called a "Film and Television Performance Promotion and Development Contract."
For example, an artist can sign an agency contract with Company A, a film and television contract with Company B, and a business contract with Company C.
This cooperation model can not only share risks and resources, but also reduce the constraints of the agency on artists, give artists more voice, and help artists grow better.
The agency itself can also focus on the areas in which it is more proficient, and will not affect the development of artists due to its own shortcomings in areas where it is not proficient.
This model is very similar to the cooperative relationship between Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia, but there are differences in details.
However, the artists that Yang Hongxia is going to interview for the company this time are obviously not of this type. Instead, they are artists who want to sign a full contract with the company.
Yang Hongxia understood very well that although she, Lin Fan and Xia Yan had each established their own studios, in the eyes of outsiders, she, Lin Fan and Xia Yan were inseparable.
Yang Hongxia could tell at a glance that these newcomers who came to her company for interviews were obviously here for these three people. They thought that on the one hand they could enjoy the assistance of Yang Hongxia, the gold medal agent, on the other hand they could take advantage of the popularity of two top-tier singers, and on the other hand they could enjoy Lin Fan’s resources, such as the currently popular variety show "Longing for the Courtyard" and the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" that was currently being filmed.
This kind of ambition is normal in the industry. An artist without ambition cannot become popular. If you don't try your best to climb up, who can push you forward? However, Yang Hongxia couldn't tolerate the fact that they didn't want to bear the corresponding obligations while enjoying their rights.
"I only signed your agency contract, but I have to take on your film and television resources and variety show resources, and you are only willing to sign for three years. Do you think you are the only smart person in the world?"
Yang Hongxia looked at the newcomer in front of her with a smile, "I spent three years of manpower, material resources and time to make you famous, and then you just walked away and terminated the contract with me. Tell me about such a good thing, where can I find it? I have several nephews and nieces at home, and they are also clamoring to make their debut."
Fortunately, there are still only a few newcomers who don’t have much knowledge of AC. Most of the newcomers are very eager for an opportunity. It’s just that it’s not that Yang Hongxia has high standards, but there are really not many newcomers who can play among this year’s newcomers.
Let alone another Lin Fan and Xia Yan, you have to be at least at the level of Zhang Youling! A bunch of Ji Sha came, Yang Hongxia really had enough.
Xiao Ye couldn't help but persuade her, "Sister Xia, why don't you stop wasting time on the last round of interviews? Just wait until you get the final list and then meet them."
Yang Hongxia shook her head: "Selecting newcomers is all about rapport. If you like someone, you can add their acting skills and talents later. But if you don't like them, no matter how strong their professional skills are, it's useless. You can see from those popular artists that some of them are not good-looking, but they are more popular. This is rapport, also known as audience appeal."
Xiao Ye nodded in agreement.
Yang Hongxia was busy until three in the afternoon, and then began to interview new assistants in person.
Yang Hongxia thought she had made enough psychological preparations, but when Lian Xiaoyu really appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a headache: "...Xiaoyu, why are you here to submit your resume?"
Lian Xiaoyu, who had been locked up at home by her father for several months, sat upright in front of Yang Hongxia with a serious face: "Sister Xia, I really want to be an excellent agent. I know that you may think that I opened an agency just for fun. But I must tell you solemnly, Sister Xia, I am serious."
Yang Hongxia also felt Lian Xiaoyu's seriousness, and Lian Xiaoyu entered the final round of interviews through blind auditions. This shows that Lian Xiaoyu has indeed made up for a lot of professional knowledge during this period, and it was not a spur of the moment or a momentary resentment.
"Give me one reason why you must be a broker?"
"Because of Yanyan."
A question mark slowly appeared in Yang Hongxia's mind: "Hmm?"
Lian Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Is it strange? It's because of Yanyan! The first artist I met was Yanyan, and the first agent I met was you, Sister Xia. I can't say when I had the idea of becoming an agent. But what I can be sure of is that this idea has never faded from the moment it sprouted to now.
I want to have high-quality actors or artists that I can personally train, and we can become good partners who work hand in hand. It's that simple."
"Are you sure it's not because of Lin Fan?"
Although Yang Hongxia believes that she is indeed a gold medalist in the industry, and understands that some new agents do regard her as an idol, it is not that exaggerated. After all, the old are replaced by the new, and the old die on the beach.
Therefore, Yang Hongxia could understand Lian Xiaoyu, but she did not think that Lian Xiaoyu was really just doing that because of her and Xia Yan.
When Lian Xiaoyu heard the name Lin Fan, the workplace feminine temperament she had always displayed suddenly collapsed.
"Can I say no?"
Yang Hongxia laughed: "Still can't let it go?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"How can it be put down?"
Lian Xiaoyu suddenly fell on the table, her face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum: "I cheated Lin Fan at the beginning, and I have always felt very uncomfortable! After I dealt with the company's bankruptcy, I immediately went to help him record songs. However, he never accepted me again! No matter what I did, he no longer believed in me!"
"Even if it were me, I wouldn't accept you!"
Yang Hongxia really laughed out loud this time: "If I accept you, it must be because you are strong enough! You went bankrupt one day, and went to find him the next day, but you yourself have not improved at all. Anyone would be very cautious if it were you!"
"Hey, Sister Xia, please stop laughing at me! I know I was wrong! I tried my best to help him and make it up to him! I even introduced him to my best friend!"
Lian Xiaoyu's eyes were red: "I don't care. Even if Lin Fan doesn't accept me, I can't give up my own ideals in life! Besides, I have studied very hard. I think I am ready to face the test of reality!"
Yang Hongxia stared at Lian Xiaoyu in a daze. After knowing each other for such a long time, this was the first time she saw the word "serious" in this girl.
In the past, Lian Xiaoyu was just a willful rich girl. Even if she hurt others, she was unwilling to admit her mistakes, or she would only express her mistakes in a domineering way.
Lian Xiaoyu has really changed now.
It seems that everyone has to go through the beatings of society before they can mature quickly.
"What made you decide to come to me?"
Yang Hongxia made up her mind, but still asked one last question.
"Didn't you listen to Lin Fan's new song?"
Lian Xiaoyu waved her little fist: "I may not be able to be Lin Fan's agent anymore, but he has always been the star that guides me forward!"
At this time, Lian Xiaoyu's cell phone suddenly rang.
"I pray to have a transparent heart
And eyes that shed tears
Give me the courage to believe again
Oh, I go beyond the lies to embrace you. Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence
Whenever I'm lost in the night
Oh~ the brightest star in the night sky
Please guide me to you—"
