Chapter 61 The dust has settled (seeking recommendation votes)
Before Yu Xiaoshu entered the private room of the teahouse, he could already hear the familiar laughter coming from inside.
Push the door open and walk in.
"Teacher, Uncle Wang."
Yu Xiaoshu looked at the two people in the room and said with a smile.
He didn't expect the teacher to be here, but on second thought it wasn't surprising.
The two people in the room were Yu Xiaoshu’s teacher Zou Jun, and the other was Wang Bao, the production manager who resigned from Kunlang Film and Television in November last year.
"Xiaoshu, sit down. I didn't want to come, but Lao Wang insisted on moving me here."
Zou Jun said with a smile: "Old Wang is now the general manager of Baiqian Media. After learning that you rejected Huxing, Dongyi, and Xiaoma, he wanted to invite you to join his company. But Xiaoshu, I want to tell you that after a series of investments last year, Baiqian Media has failed, and the company is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Only Old Wang is willing to take over such a mess..."
Obviously, Zou Jun didn't want Yu Xiaoshu to consider his feelings.
What's more, Zou Jun and Wang Bao have been close friends for many years, so there is no need to give each other face when talking.
Wang Bao scolded with a smile: "Old Zou, I invited you to be a lobbyist, but you revealed my past first."
"Come on, come on. Who in the industry doesn't know that Baiqian Media almost went bankrupt last year?"
Zou Jun didn't give Wang Bao any face at all.
This is a true friend.
You can see this from how polite Zou Jun was to Wu Hai.
Everyone in the industry knows Baiqian Media, because what this company is most famous for is not its artists or its works, but its boss Liu Qianqian.
Because this person founded Baiqian Media purely for his own so-called entrepreneurship.
She said in an interview: "Over the years, I have been a singer, a host, and an actor, but I failed in all of them, so I want to start a film and television company. If I fail again, I will have to go home and inherit the family property."
Liu Qianqian's parents are business tycoons.
So this interview is very Versailles.
But in the entertainment industry, having money allows you to do whatever you want, but having money does not mean you can be successful.
Like Yuan Xing, there is Peng Mao who can’t be made popular no matter what, there is Yin Tianfang whose father is the platinum director Yin Yin but he himself still can’t become popular, and there is...
In short, there are countless actors who Yuan Xing has connections, relationships, and money but can never become famous.
Similarly, there are also film and television dramas.
Just because you have money doesn’t mean the work you produce won’t fail.
This is what happened to Liu Qianqian. Two years ago, she invested in three TV series, two web series, and a movie in one go, and then they all...failed in 2018.
Liu Qianqian's parents had already made it clear that if Liu Qianqian spent the family's 100 million yuan within four years, she would have to come back to inherit the family property.
This is also the reason why Liu Qianqian became famous.
Someone else left a message on Liu Qianqian's platform: "Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore, can you consider me?"
Liu Qianqian responded sharply to these messages: "I just saw your photo, you are too ugly, I am not interested in enoki mushrooms" and so on.
In short, in a media and film and television company, the most famous person is the boss, and netizens watch for fun, but this is actually a shame.
"Xiao Shu, your teacher is right. Baiqian Media almost went bankrupt last year."
Wang Bao said with a smile: "That's because Liu Qianqian was fooled. She invested after being fooled by a few directors. As a result, she suffered a huge loss. However, the company is gradually getting back on track. What the company lacks most now is good scripts. Come to the company and you can propose any conditions. I will never cheat you."
"Xiaoshu, don't believe this."
Zou Jun suddenly said, "Never trust your leader's broken mouth."
"Old Zou, you..."
Wang Bao's face turned a little grim: "You said that at Kunlang Films, when did I ever cheat you? In those three years, did I ever change my attitude towards Xiaoshu? If I hadn't supported Xiaoshu, he would have been fired long ago."
"I'm really excited when you say that."
Zou Jun rolled up his sleeves and said, "Didn't you know how much humiliation Xiaoshu suffered at Kunlang Films during those three years? Not only did you demote his rank step by step, but in the end you only gave him a basic salary. Do you still think you're right?"
"Old Zou, you know the situation of the company at that time, right?"
Wang Bao really lost his temper with his old friend: "If I had any way, would I not protect the little tree? In the end, I couldn't even protect myself and was kicked out."
"Master, Uncle Wang."
Yu Xiaoshu asked the two to stop arguing.
One must always earn back one's status.
At Kunlang Film and Television, Yu Xiaoshu understood that Wang Bao’s authority was not that great.
What's more, if it weren't for Wang Bao, the original owner would have been kicked out of Kunlang Film and Television long ago.
For this reason, Wang Bao was indebted to the original owner.
However, Yu Xiaoshu was also moved by his teacher. Zou Jun was really worried that Baiqian Media was not suitable for Yu Xiaoshu.
but.
For Yu Xiaoshu, Baiqian Media is the perfect choice.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu had a few alternatives, but now it seems that they are no longer necessary.
He said to Wang Bao, "Uncle Wang, do you really accept any conditions from me?"
Wang Bao stopped arguing with Zou Jun after hearing what Yu Xiaoshu said. He said to Yu Xiaoshu seriously, "Really."
Yu Xiaoshu: "I only signed a screenwriting contract."
Wang Bao: “No problem.”
Yu Xiaoshu: "The screenwriters only asked me to sign web series and TV series."
Wang Bao: “Sure.”
Yu Xiaoshu: "Outside the contract, I can cooperate with other film and television companies. Baiqian Media has no right to interfere. Also... my script cannot be modified without permission."
Wang Bao's smile remained unchanged: "No problem."
After all, Wang Bao knows how much share Yu Xiaoshu has in the success of "I Am Yu Huanshui".
Next, Wang Bao agreed to all of Yu Xiaoshu's demands, whether it was the commission from the agency contract or other conditions.
This contract is ridiculously lenient.
It can be said that this contract is unique to Scorpio.
"Then let's go."
Half an hour later, Wang Bao glanced at the time and said, "The legal and financial departments of Baiqian Media are still at get off work, and CEO Liu is here too, so we can just go and sign the contract."
"Old Wang, are you in such a hurry?"
Zou Jun had been silent while Yu Xiaoshu and Wang Bao were discussing the details of the contract. Only after they had finished talking did he ask, "You're not going to set a trap for Xiaoshu, are you?"
"Old Zou, what can I do?"
Wang Bao shook his head slightly and said, "You know the current situation of Baiqian Media. It is in urgent need of a drama to survive. Also, Xiaoshu is also very attractive to other small film and television companies. I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Zou Jun felt relieved after hearing Wang Bao's words: "Okay, then I won't go with you. Old Wang, if you dare to cheat Xiao Shu, I will never forgive you."
This is the legendary protecting the calf.
On the way to Baiqian Media, Wang Bao said as he drove: "Xiaoshu, your master really treats you as his son. I have never seen him protect anyone so fiercely."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded slightly, but didn't say much.
Some things don't need to be said.
It would sound pretentious to say it out loud.
Just keep it in mind.
After arriving at Baiqian Media, Wang Bao first asked Yu Xiaoshu to wait for him in the reception room for a while while he went to get the contract.
Because the contract was too loose, even the platinum contract template of Baiqian Media was not acceptable, so on the way here just now, Wang Bao asked the legal department to redraft a new contract, and he took the new contract to find Liu Qianqian for signature first.
Swish! Swish!
Liu Qianqian signed the contract directly and handed it to Wang Bao.
She didn't even ask.
Because she has decided to hand over all the company's affairs to Wang Bao.
Trust the people you employ.
Anyway, if Baiqian Media really dies, she will go back and inherit the family property.
Then I would never start a business again.
Is salted fish bad?
What kind of business is this?
However, Liu Qianqian still reminded him: "Boss Wang, if you sign this contract, you still have to think about how to explain it to other people."
"Haha, Mr. Liu, don't worry, it's okay."
Wang Bao laughed: "As long as you trust me, it's fine."
Liu Qianqian looked at Wang Bao and smiled as well: "Of course I believe you."
But Liu Qianqian's smile seemed a little forced.
Because she had no other choice but to trust Wang Bao.
After all, if I don’t achieve any results this year, I will have to go home and inherit the family property next year.
"Then I'll go find Yu Xiaoshu to sign the contract first, and I'll bring Yu Xiaoshu to see you later."
Wang Bao picked up the contract and prepared to leave.
"Forget it, I'll just disappear. You can take him to meet other people in the company later."
Liu Qianqian waved her hand slightly: "I want to be quiet."
After Wang Bao left, Liu Qianqian looked at Yu Xiaoshu's information on the monitor and muttered to herself, "Is he okay?"
Not only Liu Qianqian, but other contracted artists of Baiqian Media also had the same idea.
"What? The company actually signed Yu Xiaoshu?"
"Yu Xiaoshu has made quite a lot of requests before, but other companies have refused them. Has our company agreed to them?"
"The success of I Am Yu Huanshui has little to do with Yu Xiaoshu. I feel like the company has been cheated."
"You probably don't know this, but Wang Bao and Yu Xiaoshu know each other, and Yu Xiaoshu's teacher is Wang Bao's long-time friend."
"Yes, I remember now. Yu Xiaoshu and Wang Bao are both from Kunlang Film and Television."
"I'm completely screwed now. No, I'm going back to Ice City to open a barbecue restaurant."
"Don't say that. Mr. Yu was able to write the script for 'I Am Yu Huanshui', so maybe his next drama will be a hit as well."
"Hot? What's the reason for the popularity? Don't you know? The success of "I Am Yu Huanshui" is due to Luo Yuan and Sun Hei."
…
When others learned that the company had signed Yu Xiaoshu, they talked a lot.
After all, people in Baiqian Media are in a panic right now.
Among them, there are 3 contracted screenwriters, 2 contracted singers, 9 contracted actors, and 2 contracted directors, a total of 16 contracted artists. Naturally, these people have different attitudes towards signing Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu didn’t know all this.
Of course, even if I knew, I wouldn't care.
Baiqian Media may be small, but it has everything, or it can be said that Liu Qianqian has big ambitions, because the artists under Baiqian Media include singers, screenwriters, directors, and actors, and it also has many businesses, including TV program production and distribution, film investment, production, and promotion, TV drama investment and distribution, artist brokerage, new media Internet, games, etc.
It sounds scary.
But nothing was accomplished.
In this regard, Liu Qianqian really has no idea at all.
"Xiao Shu, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, you should take a rest first, and think about what to shoot next. We will try to write a good script after the Chinese New Year, and the company will fully cooperate with you."
After signing the contract, Wang Bao said to Yu Xiaoshu.
After all, creation is similar to preparing for pregnancy. Sometimes you can succeed with one shot, and sometimes you may not be able to create it even after a lot of hard work.
Therefore, although Wang Bao is anxious, he will not be in a hurry.
You can’t eat stinky tofu in a hurry.
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "Mr. Wang, I know. I just happened to be creating a play. In the next two days, I will write the first three episodes for you to read."
Wang Bao: “???”
