Chapter 137 Automatically Lost Connection
Some people were forced to be sent out, starving in the cold winter...
Some people are in spacious rooms, enjoying the warmth brought by modern technology.
In the president's office of Kuiguang Group, Song Danlei, who is already 33 years old this year, with a simple ponytail, is patiently discussing something with the young boss in front of her.
The private life of a certain star who was once under her management was exposed, including his marriage, which forced the star to announce his withdrawal from the entertainment industry.
Song Danlei was originally busy and exhausted because of the mess left by the artists in the big company. From time to time, she was worried about some trivial things that were trivial to ordinary people. Gradually, she began to think about retreating to the second line.
Although celebrities look glamorous on the screen and are even over-mythologized with the help of traffic, they are essentially ordinary people.
As long as one is a human being, he or she will have greed and instinctive needs... and will naturally face various temptations in society.
Moreover, the temptations that celebrities face are far more numerous and greater than those faced by ordinary people.
Many times, they may not be able to withstand these temptations.
Otherwise, there would be no celebrities going to jail for repeatedly paying third-party businesses to find ways to satisfy their physiological needs.
There will also be no shocking scandals involving stars and directors fighting over the right to play a certain role.
Not only big stars, but also small artists frequently make scandals here and there.
Being bothered by these things all the time, Song Danlei simply took the opportunity of her celebrity retirement to resign and find an easier backend operations job in a medium-sized company with a good reputation.
Naturally, she chose Kuiguang Group.
However, in order to take care of some things, she was delayed for two weeks, and only started her first day at work today.
After the interview was over and the employment contract was signed, which paid much better than expected, the young boss asked a very simple, yet extremely complicated question.
"What kind of artist do you think will become popular?"
Song Danlei thought about it for a moment.
Is this the first test question that my new boss gave me? It's very broad, but it doesn't stump me.
Because it is obvious that what Mr. Yang wants to ask is not as simple as it seems.
If his question is really as the wording implies, it would be difficult to answer even if you spend three days and three nights writing a professional paper.
So what Mr. Yang really meant was to recruit an artist who could bring the greatest benefits, fame and reputation to the current scale of Kuiguang Company.
Song Danlei analyzed Yang Ruoqian's meaning in her mind, then nodded and said, "Kui Guang is new to the entertainment industry, and the threshold for web dramas and singers is actually the lowest. But I heard that Mr. Yang has invested in a web drama project, right?"
"Yes." Yang Ruoqian affirmed.
"Then I suggest that the next choice should be a singer." Song Danlei glanced at the young boss's expression, and after making sure that her boss did not show any rejection, she continued, "Traditional singers have much lower risks in terms of training costs and time than idols."
"Generally speaking, with the size of our company, it is difficult to poach idols from other companies, so we can only train them from scratch."
"For idols, the company has a lot of control, including the various trainings they have to attend, relatively daily and institutionalized stage performances, the packaging of their personal image, and the restrictions on their personal behavior."
"Our company is currently lacking a professional team, and such a team itself is a huge expense."
"Before idols become famous, they have no profit potential at all. Companies have to pay them without any income, which is very risky. And if they lose money, it can be said that they lose all their money."
"Of course, as long as we can make a popular star, the revenue brought by it can make up for countless failed projects."
"It goes without saying that traffic stars are good at making money. At the same time, because idols have no income in the early stages, companies can use this to sign contracts with them with high commissions and high liquidated damages. So as long as a traffic star becomes famous, the company can make a lot of money - because most of their income belongs to the company."
“I personally do not recommend high risk and high return, because the company’s current risk resistance is probably still average.”
This is a blunt statement that might upset your boss...
Song Danlei raised her eyes again and observed Yang Ruoqian.
Yang Ruoqian had a bright smile on his face, and nodded to Song Danlei to continue. He didn't seem offended at all, and even... looked a little happy? Uh, a little happy? Song Danlei was a little surprised why her boss was so happy to hear that his company was not suitable for cultivating idols, but she didn't ask any more questions and continued, "Traditional singers and actors rely on their own skills to work hard in the early stages of their acting careers, and generally speaking, they can at least earn a living."
"Just like Guan Yunpeng who was signed by the company before, although he is not famous, he can still stand on his own in society by relying on his acting skills and taking on extra roles in various film sets."
"It's just that they want to have further development, so they sign the agency contract with the agency."
"Such singers and actors are relatively more independent and less dependent on the company, so the agency's commission rate will be lower. The advantage is that the risk is also lower."
"Because these singers and actors can support themselves, it means they have a certain level of ability."
After giving a long string of professional analysis in one breath, Song Danlei gave her own conclusion: "So my suggestion is to find a traditional actor-singer to work with... Now that you have found an actor, maybe you can try a singer next."
"Of course, appearance is also very important. It would be best if I could be the same as you."
In the end, Song Danlei did not forget to flatter her boss.
This statement is 70% true and 30% flattery.
Yang Ruoqian was almost immune to this kind of flattery. Even though he was the most amateurish person, after listening to Song Danlei's analysis, he suddenly felt enlightened.
It turns out that I can’t recruit singers, but I have to recruit idols. I understand!
High risk and high investment, if you lose, you will lose everything. Isn’t this what Yang Ruoqian is pursuing?
As for the risks of high income, Yang Ruoqian found a solution without even thinking about it.
The system does not allow passive operations, but it does not prohibit positive operations that are very inefficient and in the wrong direction.
"Okay, then we will do as you said. We will not recruit singers for the time being." Yang Ruoqian nodded to Song Danlei, "The direction of the next artist will be idols."
After all I said, my boss still chose the worst option.
Idol……
Why.
Song Danlei was not surprised. After all, she was a young boss who was always successful. When she heard about high risk and high return, she subconsciously ignored the words "high risk", right? Anyway, she was just a small employee who was paid a fixed salary and was only responsible for giving opinions and operating artists. It was useless if the boss didn't listen to her advice.
After switching jobs, Song Danlei emphasized that she only wanted a fixed salary, no commission, and no connection with the artists... Of course, she just wanted to take it easy, and she was still very serious about her work.
Besides, Kui Guang has such a good salary and such a favorable working environment. It would be a loss if he was fired for slacking off.
"Okay..." Song Danlei smiled, "So what direction does Mr. Yang want to train? I suggest starting with dance..."
"Cooking skills!" Yang Ruoqian blurted out without thinking, "Let's first cultivate the artist's cooking skills!"
Song Danlei: "...what did you say?"
This new operator in the entertainment industry suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Cooking skills. Let's cultivate the artists' cooking skills first." Yang Ruoqian repeated patiently.
Cooking skills... cooking skills...
If it were in the past, if her artist said that he didn’t want to practice dancing and wanted to cook, she would have slapped him twice to wake him up.
There are variety shows related to cooking, but they are generally for already famous idols to participate in, and they are just icing on the cake.
never mind……
Who says he is your boss?
Anyway, in her career over the past few years, she has seen even more bizarre bosses.
The salary you give me is high, it depends on you.
"Okay, cooking." Song Danlei opened the memo and began to record, "Anything else you want to ask, Mr. Yang?"
Yang Ruoqian thought about it and said, "When selecting people, try to respect their personal wishes. If they don't want to become idols through cooking, we shouldn't force them."
He's a pretty good boss...
Song Danlei has seen too many companies use shady contracts to deceive and ambush young people who know nothing, making them almost sign a contract that is like selling their bodies, and forcing them to do many things they don't want to do.
"Okay, do you have any other instructions?"
"Your boss is Weng Ziqin. If you have any issues in the future, please contact her..."
Ding! When Yang Ruoqian was halfway through his sentence, his cell phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw that it was Shao Yiqi who sent him a message.
"Good boy, Cheng Fei told me yesterday that she wants you to persuade your employees to take a holiday during the Spring Festival so that they can finish filming the drama as soon as possible while the atmosphere is hot."
What the hell, adjustment of leave?
To meet the deadline? To take advantage of the hot situation? Impossible, absolutely impossible! But after all, Chengfei Media is a partner, and it would be embarrassing to refuse directly.
What should I do? ... Or should I just give the whole company a holiday?
According to the employee code of conduct of Kuiguang Company, the company is offline as long as there is a holiday, because employees are not allowed to work during non-working hours, and naturally they cannot reply to any messages from partners.
Anyway, the Spring Festival is approaching, so if I can think of a reasonable reason to take a holiday early, it shouldn't trigger the system's warning...
Yang Ruoqian immediately put down his phone and stopped Song Danlei who was about to turn around and leave: "By the way, please help me and all the employees announce something. In order to avoid peak traffic during the Spring Festival, the company has decided to start the holiday from today...now. Collect your year-end bonus and salary as soon as possible and go home for the New Year. Any work on hand should be left until you come back from the holiday."
"I will coordinate with other departments, you just need to be responsible for notifying. By the way, you also have a year-end bonus, don't forget to collect it."
Song Danlei turned her head in disbelief - an employee who had only been on the job for a few minutes had suffered two challenges to her worldview on the same day.
Huh? Holiday? And so careless?!
No, she just signed the labor contract, the ink hasn't even dried yet, so she can take the year-end bonus and take a vacation? "Okay... okay." Song Danlei replied blankly.
After announcing the company's complete holiday, Yang Ruoqian sent Shao Yiqi a message: "For discussing work matters outside of working hours, deduct 200 yuan and give him a warning."
Recommend a friend's book. Nonsense game style.
