Chapter 609 Helping People Count Money
Miranda was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Ann, you are very straightforward, you say whatever you want to say, which makes me embarrassed to have any opinions about you anymore."
An Zhixia smiled and said, "That's because what I said makes sense!"
"Yes, yes, you are right," Miranda nodded, "You are right. If you go into the entertainment industry, we may become competitors, and there will be conspiracies and plots.
But you are an investor, and I can only make you happy."
"Miranda, you have good conditions and talents. Unless there are any accidents, you will always occupy the position of the little queen of the music world and gain the love of many fans." An Zhixia looked at her seriously.
Miranda suddenly became interested. She held her chin and blinked her eyes and asked, "No accidents? What do you mean by accidents? Why do I feel like you are, um, how do you say it in Xia Hua, a fortune teller, right?"
"I know a little bit about psychology. You have strong business capabilities and a strong fan base. I think any company will support you as long as they don't destroy themselves.
However, you like to listen to one side and have a straightforward temper, which makes it easy for you to offend people. Sooner or later, you will ruin your bright future as a star."
Miranda exclaimed, looking up and down at An Zhixia: "Did you hear anything? How do you know..." Then she covered her mouth tightly, tapped her head in annoyance and said, "I seem to be being used as a scapegoat again?"
An Zhixia shrugged her shoulders and said, "Ms. Menken, you should be more careful in the future. Don't let others sell you out and then help them count their money."
She smiled awkwardly, "I, I don't like to guess people's minds, it's too tiring. Besides, I've always been careless and not good at socializing. Sometimes I offend others without even knowing it."
An Zhixia pursed her lips and smiled, "A person's voice is their second face, which can fully reflect your inner world. Only people with pure hearts can sing the sound of nature.
I am a little worried about your future path, and I really don’t want you to leave the music industry so early.”
"No, it's not that serious, right?" Miranda touched her face and asked uncertainly, "Ann, the music industry is actually quite simple. I just compose, sing, record songs, and then make announcements. I'm very familiar with these links, so the problem won't be too big."
"Then just pretend I never said anything," An Zhixia smiled and continued to eat.
Miranda poked the beef with a fork, not in the mood to eat. She was too lazy to use her brain, otherwise, with all the hits she had created, she couldn't be stupid.
"An, my agent has been with me for four years. She's a nice person and has helped me deal with a lot of messes. If I hadn't rejected an investor's request to drink with me last time, I wouldn't have taken this job where I would be locked up for six months and earn less than 10% of what I make from a concert."
An Zhixia looked up at her and said nothing, still struggling with the same face.
"Really? That investor is very powerful, and the demands he made were vulgar and unreasonable. I rejected them mercilessly in front of so many people.
He got angry on the spot and said he would ban me.
It was only after his agent apologized repeatedly that he was able to let the incident go.
In order to prevent him from settling scores later, my agent sent me here.
However, I like it here very much, watching a group of brothers and sisters fighting for their dreams, just like me when I first entered the industry, stumbling and foolish but cute..."
This time An Zhixia didn't even raise her head.
Miranda seemed eager to verify the goodness of her agent, and continued, "Once I was not in a good state, and the songs I wrote were always rejected. I revised them again and again. It was my agent who took me around to look for inspiration and re-compose..."
"I remember another time when I was ill and couldn't go on tour, and my manager asked people everywhere to help me hire some junior students to help me out. You don't know, the artists in our company are very busy, and everyone's schedule is scheduled for half a year later.
My agent has put in a lot of effort to get them to spare time to help me..."
After An Zhixia finished her meal, she put down her cutlery, wiped her mouth and sighed, "Miss Menken, you have been sold and are helping people count money."
Miranda slammed the table and stood up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Seeing people around her looking at her, she quickly sat down and whispered angrily: "Ann, how can you talk like that? You don't know anything, but you jump to conclusions!"
"Miss Mencken, you do understand it vaguely, don't you?
Your agent is able to promote you to the music industry, which means she is quite capable and can get along with everyone. She must know the temperament of investors and you, so why did she put you two together?
Didn't she think about the consequences of your refusal?"
"That's right, that's right. I can't refuse this dinner." Miranda argued with her neck stiffened in a bluffing manner.
"Okay, then if you really offended that person, this closed program is broadcast live around the world. If that person is really that powerful, can you still stand here safely?"
Miranda opened her mouth, wanting to say that the power of the program crew should not be underestimated.
"If I'm not mistaken, before you offended that investor, you had a lot of good announcements, right?"
"Of course," Miranda said angrily, "I paid a lot of liquidated damages for this. Fortunately, they agreed to postpone the announcement."
An Zhixia patted her head and looked at her with a look of disappointment: "You have been taken advantage of completely, and you are still speaking for others?
Your agent is greedy and is using you to make extra money.
The "Star Project" team must have paid a lot of money to invite you. With such a significant stepping stone, your agent will naturally be tempted.
But your notice was arranged long time ago, and it can't be easily turned down. She can only think of a trick to let the "Star Project" jump the queue. First, the money that goes into your pocket will not be returned, and second, the company and advertisers will only attribute the reason to your inability to talk and do things.
For example, the songs you wrote were rejected and rewritten again and again. Don't you know that the songs are bad? How come it's OK after just one round? Have you ever wondered if your agent has kept a copy of your old drafts?
Besides, touring is such an important thing, why did you get sick on that day?
Asking junior students for help? Ha, in such a matter, anyone would be willing to help at the risk of being fined a huge amount of liquidated damages. Is this helping? It's obvious that you are using you to pave the way for your company's interns!"
Miranda swallowed hard, "Ann, you, you are too dark in your heart, aren't you?
This is something I picked out from many other things. They are relatively common. How could it be possible that every one of them was a ulterior motive of the agent? "
"You should be able to tell whether it is true or not, right?"
