Ye Li is the agent of Xingyao Entertainment. He graduated from a prestigious university and is ambitiously ready to make a career.
I have been in the industry for a year and a half and currently I don’t have a single artist under me.
This is not a problem of his ability. He has a good reputation in the industry, but he is not well-known, or rather, he is not well-known among the people he serves.
Many actors and stars are familiar with some ace agents - a good agent can make their careers more efficient, but few of them know Ye Li.
But their agent must know Ye Li, as his network includes colleagues, directors, program producers and investors.
When Ye Li terminated the contracts with his artists, many people contacted Ye Li, wanting to help him make some connections, but Ye Li rejected them one by one.
Ye Li has strong business skills and is extremely experienced in dealing with interpersonal relationships. He doesn't look like a newcomer in the industry at all.
No matter what the bad situation is, you can stay calm and handle it in an orderly manner. When facing any emergency, you can list plans abcd on the spot.
The reason why he is not well-known is because of his strange demands.
Ye Li only signs newcomers at a time, and only one person at a time, with many requirements, one of which is that the person must have just entered the entertainment industry.
It doesn't matter whether they are actors or idols.
Ye Li has signed both actors who have just entered the industry from professional training and idol candidates who have stood out from many trainees.
Since entering the industry, Ye Li has only signed two new people, and the contract period for each time was one year.
None of them chose to renew their contracts, and the latter one even chose to terminate the contract early.
Both of them are outstanding among their peers, one is a rising star and the other is an idol with amazing high notes.
They spoke highly of Ye Li's professional ability, but they also complained that he was too strict.
Ye Li didn't care about the contract renewal issue. The choice was a two-way one. He had no intention of renewing the contract. In fact, he became lazy in the later period. He was able to continue only because of his professional ethics.
In the later period, Ye Li could almost see their end at a glance. At most, they would be at the bottom of the first tier. Such a future made him uninterested. No, without his operation, they might not even be able to achieve this now.
Especially the one who terminated the contract, he is an idol, but he is currently in a relationship.
Ye Li is not very optimistic about his future.
When he first entered the industry, his attitude was relatively correct, but later on he had improper interactions with fans and started dating a girlfriend. This situation was discovered two or three times, and Ye Li had warned him, but he refused to change.
Later, because of this, the two of them had a bad argument, and in the end he proposed to terminate the contract on the grounds that Ye Li interfered too much in his private life.
Ye Li agreed, Ye Li saw it very clearly.
Unless the other party successfully transforms himself in a short period of time or does a good job of keeping the relationship secret, everything he has now can be easily destroyed.
Not everyone can be as efficient as Ye Li and push himself to keep moving forward.
Ye Li has very high requirements. He only signs one artist at a time, devotes all his energy to the artist, chooses the best development path for the artist, and demands to control everything about the artist.
Newcomers can accept it at the beginning, but once they become famous, they start to slack off.
In fact, if things continue like this, a good result will be achieved. The artist will be happy, and he will also gain both fame and fortune.
But Ye Li’s goal goes far beyond this. He wants more. He intends to make the brightest star in human history born from his hands.
Just like Xie Luyu.
He made his debut at the age of nineteen and won the Best Newcomer Award for his supporting role in a film in the same year.
The movie he starred in at the age of 20 was nominated for the Academy Awards, which also allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry.
At the age of 22, he starred in Director Chen's film and won China's most prestigious film and television award, as well as numerous other awards of all sizes.
She had already become a top star at the age of 23. Even though scandals, both true and false, were flying around and her volatile temper was criticized by the entertainment media all day long, her career was still at its peak.
At the age of 27, he won the highest honor an actor could receive, the Golden Globe Award, and was crowned the emperor.
The film and television industry pays great attention to seniority, but Xie Luyu is an exception. From the very beginning, he has been a darling held in the palms of the hands of major directors.
He doesn't try to please his fans, he doesn't try to please anyone, and he doesn't need to please anyone. His words and actions are almost arrogant, but this description is somewhat inaccurate because his strength is enough to support his arrogance.
His fans love and hate him, and even his most hated haters have to acknowledge his achievements.
His classic shots have been brought into major classrooms at home and abroad and have been repeatedly watched and studied by people. The classic characters he has performed are still shining today. At the age of only 27, he has already become a benchmark in the entertainment industry and has a very high reputation worldwide.
It is conceivable that he still has a long career ahead of him and now is far from his peak.
This is the glory that Ye Li wants.
Even after failing twice, Ye Li did not get discouraged, but started looking for a suitable candidate again.
This time he was more cautious than the previous two times. He was too arrogant before, thinking that as long as the carving skills were superb, even a piece of stone could become a priceless work of art.
As it turned out, he was wrong.
So this time, let's find a piece of uncut jade that is already precious. This way, even if you become lazy in the later stages, at least you won't hit the ceiling.
Then one day, Ye Li saw Gu Qingchi on the hot search. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was a promotion for an idol who was about to debut. He subconsciously evaluated and thought that the other party would soon come to the fore, but later there was no news.
It was not until the treasure hunt program that Gu Qingchi once again became a hot topic on Weibo. Compared to his last short-lived fame, this time Gu Qingchi truly entered everyone's field of vision.
But as the topic continued to ferment, there was still no news about Gu Qingchi, not even his name was revealed. This was not right. After the best time, the heat would decrease.
Ye Li keenly sensed the problem. He immediately called all his colleagues and tried to find out. It turned out that they all knew nothing about Gu Qingchi who suddenly appeared.
Most people thought that Gu Qingchi was the new star that Xunbao wanted to promote, but Ye Li noticed something wrong. Gu Qingchi should be an amateur.
What a bold guess! Ye Li was almost shocked by it, and at the same time, he was extremely excited about this guess.
In this era, it is incredible that an ordinary person has been on the hot search list twice by himself and easily created a storm in the virtual world.
Ye Li took action immediately. He did not alert anyone and investigated with all his strength.
Finally, he got a clue from a western restaurant. He called the restaurant at first, but the other party was very vigilant and did not leak any information. It seemed that they were used to dealing with such things.
In the end, Ye Li went there in person and after some twists and turns, he got Gu Qingchi's contact information.
The real person surprised Ye Li even more. He had already prepared himself for the fact that the real person would not be so amazing. Even with the most critical eyes, he could not find any flaws.
The process of signing Gu Qingchi went unexpectedly smoothly.
Ye Li almost felt that there was a trap in the process. Most people would hesitate and ask their parents and friends for their opinions. Although Ye Li prepared the contract, he was prepared to take a long time to sign it.
This was their first conversation, which lasted no more than half an hour, and Gu Qingchi agreed very casually.
Ye Li put away the documents, stood up and stretched out his hand.
"Then we will be partners from now on. Have fun working together."
Gu Qingchi stretched out his hand hesitantly and held Ye Li's. He felt it was a little novel. He hadn't used this kind of social etiquette for a long time. He smiled at Ye Li.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Then he picked up his contract and folded it casually.
Ye Li talked a lot about the signing.
But Gu Qingchi's focus was completely on the basic salary of 20,000 yuan a month. When he heard that, he had already agreed in his heart. As for whether it was signature A or signature B, Gu Qingchi didn't really care.
But the signature A he signed seemed to sound better than signature B.
Gu Qingchi thought casually.
Unlike Gu Qingchi, who is a little insensitive to the outside world and lives in his own world most of the time.
After signing the contract, Ye Li went to work.
"Where do you live now? Rented or bought?"
"Wangyuan B302, rented."
Ye Li had never heard of it, and he glanced at his watch.
"Quit it and move into the apartment assigned by the company as soon as possible. I just sent you the address. It has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The environment is good. The entire community belongs to our company, so you don't have to worry about security."
Gu Qingchi is used to being lazy.
Later, when I first started out, I came into contact with hedonism like Chen Jiu, who valued sensory pleasure above all else. Later, my interpersonal relationships were just with colleagues, and we didn't know much about each other.
This was the first time Gu Qingchi came into contact with an elite like Ye Li, and it was a bit novel.
But Gu Qingchi has always been easy-going and does not reject being controlled by others. It is better to say that he is very adaptable to the life of being controlled by others.
Gu Qingchi has no friends or relatives in this world, just like duckweed drifting on the water. Two years is enough to isolate him from the crowd. Even if he begins to reintegrate, it is still different.
Chen Jiu, whom Gu Qingchi met later, was similar to him, but also different. Chen Jiu pursued pleasure, but Gu Qingchi even found pleasure itself boring.
Gu Qingchi has become accustomed to being responsible only for himself, but in reality, he feels that it doesn't matter what happens to him, even if he dies, so he has never had any goals.
He had lived this aimless life for too long.
Ye Li was like a fixed lighthouse, standing on the seashore, intercepting Gu Qingchi who was drifting with the waves and giving him a sense of being down to earth.
"I can finish moving before nine o'clock today."
Ye Liduo glanced at Gu Qingchi. Even the two artists signed before were rarely so obedient in the early stages when they were still very cooperative.
Ye Li was very satisfied and his favorability towards Gu Qingchi increased even more.
"I'm free today, I can drive over and help you move it."
Although Gu Qingchi is lazy, he is very efficient when asked to do something, so he is suitable to be disciplined.
He didn't have much stuff, just a suitcase and a cat bag, so he could move it in one trip.
In just about half an hour, he moved to a new home.
The apartment is neither too big nor too small, about 45 square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, just right for one person. It has everything one needs. The main color of the decoration is beige, which looks very warm.
It is much better than the partitioned room that Gu Qingchi had before.
The little tabby was a little uncomfortable at first, so he just stayed in the cat bag, occasionally peeked to see if Gu Qingchi was still there. Gu Qingchi didn't care about him, and soon he was running around happily on the ground.
Ye Li couldn't help but glance at the little raccoon who was determined to be a roadblock following Gu Qingchi, and took his coat from the coat rack at the door.
"It's too late today, you should settle down first, and I will make plans for you tomorrow."
