Chapter 222: Change of mind, all involution
Baiqian Media.
Cao Xiao from the Artist Management Department came to Yu Xiaoshu's office and said quickly, "Teacher Yu, Cao Rui has joined Kunlang Films."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, “I just saw it too.”
Cao Xiao said helplessly: "I talked to Cao Rui's mother before, but she was really greedy and didn't care about Cao Rui's future development at all."
What a coincidence.
The artist director of Baiqian Media is Cao Xiao, but Cao Rui’s mother is also named Cao Xiao.
You see, this is such a coincidence.
Of course, it’s not just fate that they are both called Cao Xiao. Because Zhu Chaoyang is so popular, Cao Xiao, as the boss of the artist management department, of course wants to sign Cao Rui. He asked Yu Xiaoshu about this.
Yu Xiaoshu is very satisfied with Cao Rui, but he does not think that this person is suitable for Baiqian Media.
It's very simple, it's because of Cao Rui's mother. She is a time bomb. Looking at the series of weird actions taken by Cao Rui's mother, Yu Xiaoshu feels that stupid people should not be pitied, because there must be something hateful about pitiful people.
At that time, Cao Xiao still wanted to give it a try. He felt that within the restrictions of the contract, Cao Rui's mother would not be able to do anything.
Besides, Cao Xiao always felt that no matter how stupid Cao Rui's mother was, she would not be stupid enough to reject Baiqian Media.
After all, no matter what, Cao Rui became famous because of "The Bad Kids".
It can be said that without Baiqian Media, there would definitely be no Cao Rui.
Of course, although Yu Xiaoshu did not agree, when he saw Cao Xiao's confident look, he thought it would be a good idea to let Cao Xiao hit his head against the wall.
Anyway, the decision is his.
Then Cao Xiao finally understood what stupidity meant and what it meant to be unable to reach an agreement.
First of all, in Cao Xiao's opinion, Cao Rui has great potential. Now that he is just 14 years old, Cao Rui still has strong plasticity. Cao Xiao is even willing to give him the highest level contract with Baiqian Media and give Cao Rui enough freedom to let him focus on his studies for the time being.
After all, what artists ultimately compete for is culture.
Look at all the artistes nowadays, none of them can even write a single word, they are all packaged.
Yes.
Baiqian Media does not sign artists who seek to make quick money. This is the corporate culture of Baiqian Media.
Secondly, as I just said, emotionally, Baiqian Media's director Zhang Yi and Cao Rui's mother are good friends. If it weren't for Zhang Yi's introduction, Cao Rui would definitely not be able to play Zhu Chaoyang. Logically, Baiqian Media should be the most suitable for Cao Rui.
As a result, Cao Xiao encountered a complete setback.
"You capitals are always talking about profit. Besides, you interviewed so many children and finally chose our Ruirui. That's because our Ruirui is suitable. Why should I be grateful to you?"
"Haha, don't try to establish a relationship with me. It's useless. Let's just talk about the contract. You said that Ruirui should focus on his studies. I'm a college graduate. What's the point? There's no point in going to school now. Money is king."
"Money, I'll tell you, the signing bonus is 10 million, and the pay must be split 20% to 80%, 80% for us, 20% for you, and at the same time..."
…
Good man, if Cao Xiao really signed this contract, then he felt that he could just leave.
Baiqian Media is not a charity? ?
What's more, Cao Rui only became famous because of the role of Zhu Chaoyang. To put it bluntly, Cao Rui is not even a third-level star now. He just has temporary first-tier popularity.
This can be taken for a maximum of three months. If the time is longer, then it should be able to be taken for half a year.
But what then?
If there are no more works after that, you will be abandoned by everyone in an instant.
Nowadays, it is an era of traffic, and the traffic is overwhelming. How can you, who doesn't want to rely on traffic, maintain your popularity?
It's all based on the work.
You don't have to worry about signing with Baiqian Media, but what about signing with other companies? ?
We are not fools. If the signing fee is really tens of millions, then we will definitely look for ways to earn the money from other places.
Of course, Cao Xiao also told this to Cao Rui's mother.
But it doesn't matter.
It was useless. Even Cao Rui's mother thought Cao Xiao was deliberately trying to lower the price, so she just said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Don't waste your energy here."
As a result, Cao Xiao was finally defeated.
"Teacher Yu, I'm so stupid..."
"Stop it, don't say these three words again."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Cao Xiao: "Don't say these three words to me again. I'm already stressed."
The company already has a Zhang Xianglin, and we absolutely cannot have another Cao Xianglin.
This is all Cao Rui's mother's fault.
You have to say that Cao Rui's mother is a talented person.
"Has Ning Xinxin signed it?"
Yu Xiaoshu quickly changed the subject.
We must never let Cao Xiao say this again.
"Signed. Ning Xinxin has been waiting for us to sign. We didn't discuss any conditions. We just signed a five-year, full contract."
Cao Xiao said hurriedly.
"oh."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed.
This is a smart man.
No wonder the teacher is willing to introduce her.
Not being greedy is something that not many people can do.
Some people say that they are not greedy, but that is because they have not encountered temptation.
For example, Yu Xiaoshu has a friend on Earth who always says that he can’t have a health check, that he is a good person and should keep himself clean. But when someone invites him to play, he directly says, “I want to play two.”
Listen to this.
This is reality.
But it is not easy to resist temptation.
"But Cao Rui, I..."
"Mr. Cao, you will be participating in the recording of Star City TV's "Super Friday" next Monday. Please talk to the other artists first and make time for them. At the same time, ask your assistant to contact the other artists."
Yu Xiaoshu interrupted Cao Xiao and said, "I've already told Mr. Wang that I won't be attending the recording of Star City TV, and Cao Rui won't be attending either."
"I know Cao Rui is not going, but you are not going either?"
Cao Xiao was a little surprised: "You are the protagonist here."
Yes, if we talk about Earth, the screenwriter is basically the least important, everyone just wants the male and female protagonists to interact.
For example, Da Tiantian, who made a comeback on Earth with "Sito", is like this. Basically, they are the male and female protagonists.
But it’s different on Yuanxing. On Yuanxing, the screenwriter is basically the protagonist. What’s more, after the finale of "The Hidden Corner" last night, many people, or many details, need to be discussed by Yu Xiaoshu.
After all, Yu Xiaoshu said today that there are two more extra chapters.
"Well, if I'm not going, just tell me I have other reasons."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said.
The reason is simple.
He wants to stand up for his ex-girlfriend.
Yu Xiaoshu is a person who repays favors. Li Jiabing had openly helped him in the past. Not only that, she never contacted him at all.
Obviously, Li Jiabing is still very cool.
kindness.
You are cool, and so am I.
Yu Xiaoshu already knew what was happening on the Internet. If that was the case, he had a bold idea.
This idea still needs some fine-tuning.
Anyway, no matter what, Yu Xiaoshu will not go to "Super Friday".
He wants to stand on Li Jiabing's side.
"Okay, I understand then."
Cao Xiao nodded slightly and said.
"Well, then you can contact the producer of 'Here Comes the Big Shots' and tell him that I have some ideas that I want to discuss with him. See if he has time recently?"
Yu Xiaoshu said to Cao Xiao, "Tell them that I have a way to increase their ratings. Ask him. If he is interested, he can come and have a look."
Just now, Yu Xiaoshu changed his mind.
Yes.
He changed his mind.
Cao Xiao was a little surprised when he heard Yu Xiaoshu's words: "Teacher Yu, do you mean to participate in "The Big Shots Are Coming"? "
"Yes, I will participate in the variety show "Here Comes the Big Shots."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently and said, "Just go and tell him, and call Zhang Yi over to me."
"good."
Seeing Yu Xiaoshu's expression, Cao Xiao stopped talking and nodded gently: "I understand."
"Well, go ahead."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said.
After a while, Zhang Yi came and said with a smile: "Teacher Yu, you are looking for me?"
"Cao Rui signed a contract with Kunlang, you know that."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Zhang Yi.
"I know."
The smile on Zhang Yi's face faded, and he sighed, "I'm so stupid, really, I..."
"Just shut up."
Yu Xiaoshu was thinking, "This Zhang Xianglin has really become Zhang Xianglin!" He said angrily, "Don't interrupt me."
"kindness."
Zhang Yi immediately regained control of his emotions: "You go ahead."
Yu Xiaoshu said, “Go talk to Cao Xiao and ask her to accompany Cao Rui to participate in the variety show ‘Big Shots Are Coming’.”
Zhang Yi was stunned: "Teacher Yu, didn't you say before that we should cut off all contact with Cao Rui?"
"Yes, I said so before, but now it's a different time. Since Cao Rui has signed with Kunlang Films, as someone who was once badly cheated by Kunlang, I have to give Cao Rui some advice."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "You go and talk to Cao Xiao. It's okay if she refuses. Just follow the contract. She may be stupid, but I believe Kunlang Film and Television is not stupid. They will definitely agree."
Zhang Yi nodded gently: "Okay, I understand, I'll go now."
After Zhang Yi left, Yu Xiaoshu turned his attention back to the Internet.
interesting.
It's really interesting.
After so long, Kunlang Film and Television still uses the same routine.
When you signed the contract with Yu Xiaoshu, although there was a teacher to act as a middleman, Kunlang Film and Television also offered a signing fee of tens of millions, and the conditions were also very generous. It seems that they were aiming to win you over.
The same is true for the signing of Cao Rui this time.
Basically, he is aiming for the best and most favorable conditions, but Yu Xiaoshu believes that Cao Rui will be greatly exploited after the signing.
After all, actors and screenwriters are different.
What’s more important is that the reason why Yu Xiaoshu was not over-exploited at the beginning was because of the relationship with teacher Yu Xiaoshu. And who is this Cao Rui?
Of course, everyone has their own destiny, and Yu Xiaoshu can’t control so much, let alone he can’t control it.
He is now preparing to create a rival for Star City TV.
Over the years, the only TV station that can compete with Star City in the variety show field is Jiang TV. Of course, it is only qualified to compete, but it is still a little behind in terms of variety show exposure or other aspects of competitiveness.
Always second!
This is the reputation that Zhijiang TV has earned.
How to say it?
Zhijiang TV has produced quite a few variety shows, but each of them can only rank second in the same time slot because the first place is always held by Xingcheng TV.
How can this be tolerated?
Who the hell wants to be second forever?
"The Big Names Are Coming" is an original indoor reality show, and the show actually absorbed the model of "Super Friday" from the beginning. Of course, there are two regular hosts of the show, one male and one female. The male is the top host of Zhijiang Satellite TV, named Wang Long, and the female is the top host of Zhijiang Satellite TV, named Fei'er.
In addition to these two, big names are invited to perform in every episode.
Yes.
It's just a performance.
Each issue has a theme.
The best one was the "Childhood" episode, which invited guests from the hit drama "Our Thirty Years". The program allowed all the creators to return to their childhood and have conversations with their own childhood.
If the 30-year-old you traveled back to the 18-year-old you, what would you want to say?
That means you must work hard and study well.
But what would your 18-year-old self say to your 40-year-old self?
When we were young, all we wanted was happiness. Even if you only earned 600 yuan, you would feel pretty good. If one person was full, the whole family would not be hungry.
I even feel that what’s the point of having more or less money?
Just be happy.
Things like cars and houses, they all seem so far away.
But what if you become an adult?
Forget about earning 600 yuan, even if you earn 10,000 yuan it won’t be enough.
Take third- and fourth-tier cities for example. House prices are over 10,000 yuan. If a 100-square-meter house costs 1 million yuan, and your down payment is 300,000 yuan, then you need a loan of 700,000 yuan.
Yes.
If you take out a 700,000 yuan mortgage for 30 years, the monthly payment will be 4,000 yuan.
The mortgage is 4,000 yuan per month.
If you have a child in kindergarten, then it will be 1,000 yuan.
But what if you go to primary school?
You can't get into many good public primary schools, so go to a private one. The cost of a private school is 30,000 yuan a year, which means more than 2,000 yuan a month. Let's just say 3,000 yuan.
In this way, the monthly mortgage plus the child's education is 7,000 yuan.
Without food or drink, you need to have 7,000 yuan.
The basic salary in third- and fourth-tier cities is around 3,000, which is considered high.
You said, can you not be anxious?
So, why do young people become Buddhist? ?
Because everyone has discovered that as long as I don’t get married and have children, I won’t be affected by the internal competition.
Look at the TV dramas nowadays, all of them talk about children’s anxiety and involution when going to school.
Therefore, this episode of "Childhood" on Zhijiang TV can be said to be a great success.
On the one hand, the reason why everyone wants to go back to childhood is that they miss the carefree times of the past.
On the one hand, being an adult is too difficult and too introverted.
While Yu Xiaoshu was thinking about the issue of "Childhood", he was browsing through several issues of "The Big Names Are Coming".
kindness.
Yu Xiaoshu has an idea.
