Chapter 684 Another company wants to poach Zhou Xiang
Yang Hongxia has been looking for new artists recently, but Yang Hongxia's standards have always been very high, and ordinary people are not in her eyes.
In addition, Yang Hongxia has her own set of standards for selecting people. Apart from other things, an actor must have good acting skills and spirituality. As for singers, there are Lin Fan and Xia Yan as references. Yang Hongxia is even more disdainful of those young actors who only have good looks but no talent.
Therefore, the company receives many self-recommendations from artists, recommendations from friends, and various hints from investors every day trying to get people in, but they are all politely declined by Yang Hongxia.
Therefore, even after such a long time since Yang Hongxia separated from Galaxy, she has only signed one and a half artists, one is Zhou Xiang and the other half is Li Xiaodong.
Li Xiaodong's contract with his original company has not expired yet, so it can only be counted as half.
Fortunately, Li Xiaodong himself has a strong background, and Yang Hongxia is very capable. They have already negotiated with Bai Tao on the follow-up matters after the expiration of the contract, so everyone parted ways amicably without becoming enemies.
However, this news needs to be kept secret for the time being to avoid anything bad happening.
It is worth mentioning that Li Xiaodong finally persuaded his agent to follow him to Yang Hongxia.
Although Yang Hongxia promised to personally guide Lai Siu-tung, as the boss of a company, it was difficult for her to do everything for her artists personally as she did before, and hiring more agents was also urgent.
Lai Siu-tung's ability as an agent is not particularly outstanding, otherwise he would not have stayed in Bai Tao for so many years and failed to make a name for himself.
However, Yang Hongxia does not need subordinates with particularly outstanding abilities. Those with strong abilities, such as Yang Hongxia herself, are not people who are content with the status quo and will set up their own business sooner or later.
When Yang Hongxia left Xinghe, she only took Xia Yan with her. That was because Xia Yan had plans to set up his own studio, so it couldn't be considered as poaching someone from his old employer.
If it were someone else, for example, before Yang Hongxia, Xinghe’s number one agent, Sister Ping, took all the artists under her management with her when she left!
The loss of such a large number of artists was a serious blow to Galaxy, and it took several years to recover.
Therefore, Yang Hongxia felt relieved when looking at Li Xiaodong's original agent. Although his ability was not outstanding, he was not a drag either. He had a steady personality and did not have the bad habit of putting down others and praising others that those short-sighted agents had. He might not be able to take charge in a short period of time, but at least the artists would not have any problems when handed over to him.
Not like that guy, the C position in the group led by Li Xiaodong, what was his name?
I can't remember.
And there’s that Sha from Xinghe. I don’t know how their agents trained them. There’s always something wrong with their brains.
Putting these messy things behind her, Yang Hongxia followed up on the progress of "Treasures" and "Classics", then applied for registration and project approval for several scripts, and finally called a meeting with her assistants to assign tasks.
"Xiao Ye, you still have the overall situation. You should continue to follow up on these projects. If there is anything that cannot be handled, report it in time."
Xiao Ye nodded: "I understand, Sister Xia."
Yang Hongxia turned to the other side and looked at Lian Xiaoyu, who was dressed in a neat professional suit. She had the aura of a young lady who was naive about the ways of the world and would just rush forward into any situation - well, actually, it had not diminished at all.
But now, after such a long period of study, Lian Xiaoyu has already gained a comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the agent industry. As for how far she can achieve in the future, it depends on herself.
Thinking of this, Yang Hongxia changed her words and asked, "How is Zhou Xiang doing recently?"
Here it comes!
Sister Xia is examining her work!
Lian Xiaoyu suppressed her inner nervousness and joy, and tried to correct her expression and attitude to make herself look more professional: "After the first round of "Legend of the White Snake" was broadcast, Zhou Xiang gained more than 3 million fans, which is considered a small fame."
"The Legend of White Snake" was first broadcast on November 1 last year, with six episodes a week and a total of fifty episodes. It was completed before the Chinese New Year.
At the same time, this drama successfully became the ratings champion last year, and the ratings of the finale directly exceeded 6. Thanks to this drama, Shanghai Satellite TV also became the biggest winner in ratings last year.
Not to mention the four main actors in the play, especially Riemann, who successfully created a classic screen image. If it hadn't caught up with last year's Golden Vision Awards, I'm afraid that "Legend of White Snake" would have won a lot of trophies! As soon as the first round of broadcasting ended, Lin Fan sold the second and third rounds of broadcasting rights and made a lot of money. At the beginning of the year, "Legend of White Snake" has occupied the audience's attention again, and the ratings remain high.
Small characters like Zhou Xiang, who have names, story lines and endings in the play, also reaped a lot of benefits, and their fan base on Chaobo increased rapidly.
There were even film crews that noticed Zhou Xiang's potential and acting skills and invited her to audition, and there was also an endless stream of advertisers and others.
However, Lian Xiaoyu kept in mind what Yang Hongxia said, that she wanted to lay a solid foundation for Zhou Xiang and prevent her from falling into the flashy circle of fame too early and losing her original intention. Therefore, Lian Xiaoyu rejected all the olive branches extended to her from outside.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As usual, he took Zhou Xiang to play supporting roles in various related crews to hone his acting skills, and also urged Zhou Xiang not to fall behind in his studies.
This was the development route that Yang Hongxia had planned for Zhou Xiang long ago. Although it was slow to warm up, it was down-to-earth. He might not become famous in the future, but with the foundation laid during this period, Zhou Xiang would not have to worry about not having scripts in this circle.
Yang Hongxia explained this principle very clearly to Zhou Xiang, and Zhou Xiang himself accepted Yang Hongxia's advice. Even Xiaoyu did things according to Yang Hongxia's arrangements.
However, in the eyes of others, Zhou Xiang is already somewhat famous, but Yang Hongxia doesn't rush to strike while the iron is hot and push Zhou Xiang up, but instead forces Zhou Xiang to play a supporting role. Isn't this deliberate suppression?
There were many gossipers in the crew, including many young actors who were not very good at competing with each other. After knowing about Zhou Xiang's situation, they inevitably said a few words, and gradually these rumors spread out.
Even Zhou Xiang's classmates felt a little sorry for her.
However, Xiaoyu, who was carefree, would not notice such trivial matters. She only knew one thing: "Another company wanted to poach Zhou Xiang."
Yang Hongxia was immediately amused: "If someone wants to poach Lin Fan and Yan Yan, that's normal. After all, these two can help them make money as soon as they go there. But what's the point of poaching a newcomer like Zhou Xiang who has an unstable foundation?"
Yang Hongxia couldn't figure it out, and Xiaoyu didn't understand it either! Even Zhou Xiang, the protagonist who was poached, didn't understand what was so good about him that was worth poaching?
Can't I change it?
