Chapter 959 Give Your Own Artists a Face
"good."
This time, Zhou Anan did not refuse the other party's invitation and followed the beautiful director upstairs to the business suite.
Unlike the other party's teasing last time, this was his first time to come to the suite where the beautiful director lived.
In order to ensure the smooth filming of Yang Wenjing's first movie after her transformation, Blue Whale Entertainment booked the business suite of this five-star hotel for nearly a few months.
"I'll go in and change my clothes. Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment."
Seeing the other party looking at the suite she lived in, Yang Wenjing took a bottle of water from the refrigerator for him and walked into the bedroom.
When she turned around, her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.
This was the first time in all these years that she was alone in a room with a man outside of work.
“.”
Thinking about the beautiful director's words that easily led to people's imagination, Zhou Anan couldn't help but open the mineral water and take a big sip, so that the inappropriate thoughts in her mind would dissipate as soon as possible.
This business suite was no different from other hotel rooms, so Zhou Anan naturally didn't come to visit anything. Instead, she sat on the sofa and chatted quietly about TT.
Girlfriend, little sister, confidante. Don’t send too many messages. Fortunately, his girlfriend never secretly checks the chat messages on his mobile phone.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Mr. Zhou."
Hearing the bedroom door open, Zhou Anan turned around and saw that the beautiful director had changed into a dark brown shoulder-less embroidered long dress and a freshly styled bun that exposed her forehead. The originally capable career woman immediately turned into a mature and stunning beauty.
Although she is over 30 years old, this once most beautiful woman in the world is becoming more and more charming.
If it were his mental age in his previous life, this would definitely be his dream lover.
"It's my honor to be able to wait for a beauty like Sister Yang."
Zhou Anan said this absolutely from the bottom of her heart.
Otherwise, he would not have left the school beauty sister and others to accompany her to the dinner party.
"If I were ten years younger, I would definitely pursue Mr. Zhou."
After hearing the other party's praise, Yang Wenjing smiled and said something straightforward.
Young and wealthy, steady, successful in career, and humorous in speech, I wonder how many young girls' hearts have been captured by this young boss.
If it were me ten years ago, I might not be able to resist the other person's charm.
"Then is it too late for me to pursue Sister Yang now?"
Zhou Anan made a gentlemanly gesture and didn't mind joining in on the other person's joke.
"That depends on my mood."
Putting one hand in the other's palm, Yang Wenjing replied with a smile.
The so-called TV Festival preparatory banquet was of quite good standard. It was held in a banquet hall of Jiangxi International Hotel and adopted a buffet style.
After all, everyone is here today mainly to communicate, not to eat.
"Jiangchuan University, Jiangchuan Culture, Chengfeng Entertainment, Jiang Province Satellite TV, and Su Province Satellite TV."
After taking a look at the dozen or so cooperating preparation units listed on the display board at the door, Zhou Anan suddenly felt that this banquet was full of deep malice towards Blue Whale Entertainment.
Especially for the two satellite TV stations that Blue Whale Entertainment has cooperated with, the variety shows produced by its own company in the future must give priority to the other local satellite TV stations, unless the prices of these two satellite TV stations are so high that they cannot refuse.
"I heard that the CEO of this Jiangchuan Culture Company is quite well-connected. Although there are no famous artists under its banner, they have participated in many well-known film and television dramas in the circle."
Not quite sure what the young boss next to her was thinking, Yang Wenjing showed the invitation to the waiter at the door, took his arm and walked into the banquet hall, then took the initiative to introduce her media company that had first proposed the TV festival.
"Yeah?!"
Zhou Anan didn't know much about Jiang Chuan Company, although she had some impression of it, but she didn't take it seriously.
The economy in Jiang Province is developed and is second to none in the country, but when it comes to entertainment companies, there are really no giants with much influence.
Perhaps, in a few years, Blue Whale Entertainment can fill this gap.
And these media companies disclosed at the preparatory party are not exaggerated by Zhou Anan. In front of Blue Whale Entertainment, none of them can compete.
I don’t know who gave them the courage.
You just want to create a TV festival casually, and even claim to compete with the two major TV festivals, Shanghai TV Festival and Shenying TV Festival. Is it Jingjing who gave you the courage?
"Sister Wenjing, long time no see."
Just after the two of them walked in a few steps, Zhou Anan saw a familiar figure walking towards him, and he smiled and greeted the beautiful director next to him.
Wow, I didn’t expect that the most beautiful woman in the world and the most beautiful Chang’e seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
The most beautiful woman in the world, in a dark brown sleeveless long dress, is dignified and elegant. The most beautiful Chang'e, in a white sleeveless long dress with blue flowers, stands together in the bright sunshine, and there is really a sense of competition between the two of them.
if
"Yi Chen, long time no see, you are still so beautiful."
Seeing her acquaintance, Yang Wenjing changed her cold attitude towards others and greeted the other party with a smile. She also introduced the young rich man next to her: "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhou from my company. Mr. Zhou, this is my good friend Yan Yichen."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
After listening to Yang Wenjing's introduction, Yan Yichen, who had previously known that her friend had changed her contract with a new company, immediately guessed the other party's identity as a senior executive at Blue Whale Entertainment and politely extended her hand to greet him.
"Ms. Yan, I have seen you play Chang'e. When I saw you in person, I realized that you are worthy of the title of the most beautiful Chang'e."
When shaking hands with the other party, Zhou Anan praised the other party subtly.
You know, the role of Chang'e played by her in a certain mythological drama is the white moonlight in the hearts of many otakus.
"It is my honor to be praised by Mr. Zhou."
Hearing the sincere praise from the young CEO in front of her, Yan Yichen smiled sweetly.
Which woman doesn't like compliments, especially this young boss whose status in the circle is rising rapidly.
Blue Whale Entertainment is a big ship. In recent years, it has produced many excellent works, including variety shows, film and television. It has attracted a lot of attention. A second-tier actor like her, who is relatively old, has no chance to recommend herself.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhou from Blue Whale Entertainment. Mr. Zhou, this is Weng Zhengxue, this is Song Wanqing, and this is Shen Liusu."
Soon, Yang Wenjing's arrival attracted a group of actresses of similar age, most of whom were familiar to Zhou Anan.
Among them are many TV actors whose dramas are popular but they themselves are not, but there are also several first-line artists who are still popular more than ten years later.
If Zhou Anan were to organize another variety show, Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves, well, the number of beautiful artists would be a little insufficient.
Of course, this also shows Yang Wenjing's reputation at that time.
A good actor can become a director. Although she has no representative work yet, she has already surpassed her peers in terms of the threshold of being a director, and her status is much higher than before.
As the CEO of Blue Whale Entertainment, Zhou Anan had no embarrassment in dealing with these beauties, and his every move showed his elegance.
It's just pretending to be cool, who can't do that?
"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I didn't expect you to come to this party. This is Weng Zhengxue, a good friend of mine when I was studying at the Beijing Art Troupe."
The beautiful director went to a social event alone. When Zhou Anan sat down to rest, she saw a female artist from her own company bringing one of the many beautiful artists from before to introduce herself to her again.
"Hello, Miss Weng."
Looking at the beautiful artist next to Li Zhen who had been in the entertainment industry for many years but was not very popular, Zhou Anan shook hands with her again with a very polite look on her face.
Although Li Zhen's figure is relatively good among her peers, and today's purple halter dress also sets off her beauty, her good-looking friend next to her, who is wearing a black deep V dress, is even better in some aspects.
"Mr. Zhou, please give me your guidance."
Because there were too many people just now, Weng Zhengxue did not have the opportunity to talk to the other party alone.
Unexpectedly, her good friend who starred in hundreds of millions of blockbusters came halfway and took her to meet the big boss again. Weng Zhengxue also cherished this opportunity that might change her future.
She does not expect to suddenly get the opportunity to star in a blockbuster movie with a budget of hundreds of millions like her friends. She would be satisfied if she could get one or two opportunities to star in mainstream TV series with good ratings.
"You're welcome. Since you're Li Zhen's friend, feel free to tell me if you have anything to say in the future."
Since her own female artist introduced herself so enthusiastically, Zhou Anan would definitely give her face, not to mention that this friend had such a stunning appearance and figure.
It is said that Weng Zhengxue is quite similar to a certain beautiful celebrity in the entertainment industry. He had seen some reports on the Internet. Some bored netizens compared the two and found that they were very similar.
However, neither of them is very famous. The one with some background is still okay, but Weng Zhengxue has always been in a state of never becoming famous, which can be said to be a bleak fate.
Zhou Anan remembered the other person's appearance entirely from some short videos in which he had seen a clip from a Republican TV series. The plot was so attractive that he spent several nights studying it carefully.
It seems that in his previous life, Li Zhen had a similar experience, neither very popular nor very successful. However, she later got many opportunities to appear in TV dramas, but she had become an actor of the same generation as the protagonist's parents.
"Mr. Zhou, Zhengxue's agency contract will expire at the end of the month. Do you think it's possible to sign her to our company?"
Knowing that his friend was too embarrassed to speak up, Li Zhen took the initiative to help her speak out, with some anticipation in his eyes.
To be honest, although she is a contracted artist of Blue Whale Entertainment and has starred in a science fiction blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions, her relationship with this young CEO is not close.
The reason why she rashly made a request to the other party was because her friend's situation was too similar to hers before, and Li Zhen really wanted to help.
What's more, this request is just a piece of cake for the young boss in front of him.
"Okay, I'll talk to my assistant later."
After hearing the request of her artist, Zhou Anan agreed without hesitation.
He felt that the other party's acting skills were pretty good. The company needed those popular artists, and also needed some veteran actors with superb acting skills to work with them.
Of course, he didn't need to call General Manager Feng personally for such a small matter. He could just tell his beautiful secretary to do it.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
After getting the promise from the young boss, Li Zhen and his friends expressed their gratitude again.
With the approval of this young boss, there will be no problem for my friend to sign with Blue Whale Entertainment.
Although General Manager Feng is in charge of Blue Whale Entertainment, she is well aware of the prestige of General Manager Zhou in the company.
"Welcome all guests to attend the Southern TV Festival preparatory dinner jointly organized by 26 units including the Communication University of Jiangxi Province, Jiangxi Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV and Jiangxi Media Company."
At this moment, a beautiful hostess from Jiangxi Province TV station, wearing a pink evening dress, came on stage and introduced the theme of tonight's dinner as well as several important guests attending the dinner.
Among these people, Zhou Anan did not see any familiar directors from the two satellite TV stations, only deputy directors who came forward.
I think tonight's preparatory dinner is just a rehearsal. We have to wait until the TV festival is confirmed before a top leader will come out to host it.
If the preparations for the TV festival end in failure, it won't be embarrassing for them.
"Sister Zhen, do you dislike Mr. Zhou?"
In a corner, Weng Zhengxue thought of the young boss's plain words and asked his friend with some uncertainty.
She was not valued in her original film and television company and only starred in some low-cost TV dramas. When she learned that a friend with the same situation suddenly had a good turn of events, she also thought about switching jobs and looking for opportunities here.
However, Weng Zhengxue also knows that there are limited resources for good films in the industry, and the same is true for a large film and television company.
Without the care of the company's top management, there would be no improvement even if she changed a few more film and television companies. And the look in the eyes of the young boss just now when he looked at her did not show much appreciation.
This made Weng Zhengxue, who was usually confident, feel a little nervous.
This opportunity may be the most important turning point in her life.
"Don't worry, our company treats all artists equally. I'll ask my agent to talk to the department manager in the company and see if I can help you arrange some TV drama roles."
Seeing his friend's worry, Li Zhen comforted him.
At least in her opinion, the company's arrangements were not too biased, except that a few young female artists received better resources.
However, Blue Whale Entertainment is in a state of rapid expansion and has abundant resources. Even the poorest resources in the company are already top-notch resources for some small film and television companies.
"oh."
After hearing his friend's comfort, Weng Zhengxue felt a little relieved, but he was not too optimistic.
Does she need to do something to quickly integrate into Blue Whale Entertainment?
"What did Director Yang gain?"
At this time, Zhou Anan had no idea what her artist was thinking, and was talking to a beautiful director who had just returned from a social event.
“Not very optimistic.”
Sitting next to the young boss, Yang Wenjing shook her head.
The establishment of a television festival requires funding, venue, jury, long-term partners, and industry influence, all of which are indispensable.
Influence in the industry is the most important thing for a TV festival. With influence, funding is not a problem, and other aspects are not a problem either.
After a round of understanding, Yang Wenjing found that the preparatory meeting was too fragmented.
The vice president of Jiangchuan University is one of the so-called preparatory committee members and is considered her old classmate. Yang Wenjing asked him about it and found out that she was not optimistic about the preparations for the Southern Television Festival.
More than a dozen participating media companies will bear the funding and venue for the TV festival, and two satellite TV stations will be responsible for the live broadcast. Once the jury members are determined, preparations for the first TV festival will begin.
What influence can these participating units have?
Not to mention the two satellite TV stations, the influence of Jiangchuan University cannot be compared with several film and television media universities in Shanghai and Beijing. The rest of the film and television companies basically have no representative large-scale film and television dramas.
This is just playing house. There are no strict rules at all.
What's the point of relying on a few companies to pay? How is it different from those fake TV festivals?
If Yang Wenjing originally had some ideas about the judges, now she has completely given up the idea of joining the game. Being a judge at a fake TV festival will only lower her status.
"Is that Jiang Chuan company the company that participated in Liunian Entertainment's sci-fi blockbuster that claimed to have invested 500 million yuan?"
After listening to the beautiful director's analysis, Zhou Anan remembered something and asked.
He just observed that this preparatory dinner was no different from an ordinary exchange dinner. Perhaps the biggest difference was that the artists at this dinner were all middle-aged and young, and there were almost no young talents.
And watching several familiar-looking artists toasting and chatting in the crowd, perhaps they were trying to seek the so-called status of judges, just like a commercial venue.
"Yes, among these dozen media companies, the only influential one is Jiangchuan Company. It has produced several large-scale costume dramas and is quite famous in the industry. As for the 500 million science fiction blockbuster, it is said that Jiangchuan Company only invested 10 million, and can only be regarded as a small shareholder. However, Jiangchuan Company's performance this year is not good, and the ratings of several TV series it produced are very poor."
"It seems that Director Yang is well-informed about the news in the industry."
Seeing the beautiful director's clear analysis, Zhou Anan smiled and joked, but in her heart she was slightly confused for a moment by her capable side.
In the eyes of ordinary netizens, this intellectual artist with almost no scandals is more like a cold and beautiful woman who doesn't care about anything else. Unexpectedly, she knows so much about this not-so-famous Jiang Chuan Company.
"Mr. Zhou, you must be joking. As a professional TV actor, I naturally need to know something about famous film and television companies. Otherwise, if there is a suitable role, it may not be my turn, and I will just have to stay at home and starve."
After hearing the young boss's ridicule, Yang Wenjing said very modestly.
In fact, she rarely pays attention to this in her daily life. Many opportunities to appear in TV dramas are arranged by her agency and recommended by some old classmates.
It was not until she decided to become a director that Yang Wenjing consciously paid attention to news in the industry and sought all the resources that could help her realize her dream of becoming a director.
Jiang Chuan Company, which focuses on TV drama production, was also within her consideration, but after she submitted the movie script, there was no follow-up, and Yang Wenjing did not go to promote the company at that time.
"Director Yang, you've really taken me a long time to find. Our company would like to discuss cooperation with you. Do you have time?"
As the two were chatting, a young man's voice sounded beside them.
