On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Blue Whale Naza and Rouba entered the meeting room one after the other. Zhao Ji, who was sitting and playing with his phone, glanced at them and smiled.

“Here I come.”

"Senior."

Nazha and Rouba greeted each other honestly. Although Nazha was in a strong momentum now, Zhao Ji was not someone to be trifled with. Besides, there was also a question of seniority involved. Before coming, Liu Xingyu had warned Nazha several times, telling her not to be too arrogant and to respect her seniors, even if it was just on the surface.

After the two sides greeted each other, Na Zha thought there would be a few more pleasantries, but unexpectedly Zhao Ji lowered his head and started playing with his mobile phone again.

Nazha was a little uncomfortable. Ever since "The East Palace" became popular, she had been the focus wherever she went. Even those who were unhappy with her would openly praise her. There were very few people like Zhao Ji who directly chose to ignore her.

She looked back at Rouba, who seemed to be thinking about something and whispered something. Then Nazha remembered that Liu Xingyu had analyzed the various artists in the company with them before.

Regarding this senior sister Zhao Ji, Liu Xingyu's original words were as follows:

"Zhao Ji is the first artist signed by our company. She has the longest experience and a good personal relationship with the boss, but she doesn't have much ambition and is a bit of a day-to-day person. Later, the company's resources tend to be biased towards you newcomers, but she still has a share.

Zhao Ji has a gentle personality and is not difficult to get along with, but she is a little aloof and doesn't like to socialize with others. If you meet her in the future, just be considerate and treat her as an ordinary colleague. As long as you don't provoke her, she won't pay any attention to you. "

Thinking of Liu Xingyu's words, Nazha and Rouba felt relieved and took out their cell phones, occasionally gathering together to whisper a few words.

At this moment, Xiao Zhao, wearing a white down jacket, walked into the office.

When Nazha, who had suffered psychological trauma from the last time she was suppressed, saw her, she instinctively shrank her neck. But soon, Nazha remembered that she was no longer the same as before. She was one of the most popular young actresses and the darling of the company. So she straightened her neck again and glared at Xiao Zhao fiercely.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao ignored her and talked to Zhao Ji on his own. Compared with the perfunctory attitude he had shown towards Na Zha and the other man just now, Zhao Ji was obviously much more enthusiastic when talking to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao greeted Rouba again and praised her for her good performance in "Eastern Palace".

Despite Naza's accusing eyes, Rouba chatted with Xiao Zhao for a few words. He was very polite and called her "Sister Ying" all the time.

Naza saw that Xiao Zhao had greeted Zhao Ji and Rouba, and thought that she would be the next one. She was thinking about how to give them a warning and avenge them from last time, but she didn't expect Xiao Zhao to ignore her and turn around to chat with Zhao Ji again.

Naza: “…”

Three people are here, saying hello to the other two, and leaving her here alive, it's too much! Seeing Naza's face red with anger, Rouba pressed her down hard, and kept whispering warnings.

"Calm down, you must calm down. If you get angry, you will fall into the trap."

"Today is our first meeting after the New Year. You must not cause any trouble, or else how will people look at you?"

"The boss definitely doesn't like people who get into conflicts with colleagues over trivial matters."

The word "boss" hit Nazha's sore spot. She immediately calmed down and just glared at Xiao Zhao angrily.

On the other side, Zhao Ji glanced at Naza and couldn't help but smiled at Xiao Zhao in a low voice.

"What's going on? Have you run into another strong enemy?"

Xiao Zhao said with disdain: "At best, he is just a lackey, not worth mentioning."

Zhao Ji shook his head: "Don't underestimate her. Although she is not smart, she is pretty. If she throws herself at me, your man may not be able to hold back."

“She dares!”

Although Xiao Zhao was shouting, he was still on high alert towards Naza in his heart.

Zhao Ji looked at Xiao Zhao's expression and sighed in his heart.

She was made famous by Wei Yang and she was grateful to him. They were of similar age and were friends. Wei Yang was handsome, talented and had a good personality. It would be a lie to say that she had never been attracted to him.

However, Wei Yang is good in everything, but precisely because of this, he is so popular, and many young girls are eyeing him.

Zhao Ji gave up the idea later because he felt that Wei Yang was too dazzling and it was too stressful to be with him. Moreover, facing so many challengers was too tiring.

Of course, Zhao Ji had to admit that the fact that Wei Yang didn't respond to her at that time was also a crucial factor. If Wei Yang and she were in a relationship, she would probably feel troubled by replacing Xiao Zhao, but she would never let go easily...

Just as the four people split into two groups, Li Jiahang walked in by himself.

"Brother Hang."

Naza and Rouba stood up to greet them. Li Jiahang smiled friendly and chatted for a few words. Then he walked over and sat next to his old friend Zhao Ji, who asked a question.

"How's it going lately?"

"Much better now. Thank you so much. You also mailed something to my dad during the Chinese New Year."

"It's just a small matter. I just follow your orders."

Looking at a few people talking and laughing, Na Zha was stunned and couldn't help but look at Rouba.

Xiao Zhao can chat and laugh with Zhao Ji, a company veteran, and get along easily with Li Jiahang, the boss's close friend. Her status in Blue Whale is even higher than they had expected.

“They’re all here.”

Less than two minutes after Li Jiahang sat down, Wei Yang, Xia Cong and Lei Chun arrived, followed by a plain-looking middle-aged man.

Seeing Wei Yang and his two superiors show up, all the artists present stood up. Wei Yang waved his hand and asked everyone to continue sitting, then introduced the middle-aged man behind him.

"Zhang Songwen is our company's newly signed artist. He is also the performance coach of the company's artist management department. He will be responsible for the company's internal acting training in the future. If you have any questions about your acting, you can ask Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Songwen greeted the artists with a smile. In front of Wei Yang, although everyone didn't know him well, they were also very polite.

Especially Nazha, Xiao Zhao's "connections" made her a little scared, so she was eager to win him over to expand her own strength. With Rouba + Zhang Songwen, she is not alone in Blue Whale.

…

Wei Yang didn't know what Nazha was thinking. After he asked Zhang Songwen to take a seat, more than half of Blue Whale's contracted artists arrived.

There is also a signed artist Lin Gengxin, and Qiao Zhenyu who is about to sign the contract. They are currently filming "Scarlet Heart" in Hengdian and cannot attend this meeting.

What we are going to talk about today is very simple. We are going to review the development achievements of the artists in the past year, praise them where they deserve praise, reward them where they deserve rewards, and then talk about some subsequent plans.

Throughout last year, Blue Whale not only achieved remarkable results in film and television production, but also made remarkable progress in artist management.

Zhao Ji has participated in many film and television works such as "This is the First Time in My Life" and "Aftershock", and has firmly maintained her status as one of the most popular young actresses. If she is properly arranged in the future and has some other resources, she may have hope of becoming a first-line actress.

Lin Gengxin became popular with "Hello, Old Time" and also starred in "Scarlet Heart", and his momentum is quite good.

Not to mention Naza and Rouba, especially Naza, which can be said to be Blue Whale’s most proud work this year.

From an amateur, she has been promoted to the most popular young actress born in the 1990s. She was once able to compete with the four little beauties and has good commercial attributes. She is likely to be the new cash cow under Wei Yang.

Lei Chun, who was announcing the results, praised Naza a few more times. The latter was very happy and glanced at Xiao Zhao proudly, but the latter ignored her.

The money you earn is mine to spend, why is she angry?

Qiao Zhenyu's situation is rather special. He is the first artist invested by Blue Whale after he became famous, and he has not yet signed a formal contract, so he is not counted for now.

Xiao Zhao and Li Jiahang both have works, but they have not been broadcast yet. They are not famous yet and there is nothing much to say about them.

Compared to this time last year, the Blue Whale Artist Management Department only has a few big cats and small cats. Wei Yang is still very satisfied that they have developed to this point in just over a year.

However, although the development was good, except for Wei Yang, no one else made much money from the artist management.

Zhao Ji is a Buddhist and rarely accepts other notices except filming. The others were all newcomers at the beginning, their pay was too little and there was no revenue. Lin Gengxin and Nazha were somewhat famous, but they became famous for too short a time.

Adding up the total, the company's revenue from artist management last year, excluding Wei Yang, was only in the low seven figures.

It seems to work, but it does not offset Blue Whale’s investment in the artists.

Clothing, team, packaging, training, various publicity resources, project public relations, etc., all miscellaneous, costing from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Especially the two beauties from Xinjiang province, let’s not even talk about the training, team, packaging and so on, they became famous before they even started filming a movie. It’s not just their looks, they also spent a lot of publicity resources, all of which cost money.

So overall, Blue Whale lost money on artist management last year.

But fortunately, the money is worth it. Nazha, Lin Gengxin, Rouba and Zhao Ji are already famous and can make money this year, plus Xiao Zhao and Qiao Zhenyu have hit works to be broadcast.

Wei Yang’s KPI for the artist management department this year is a revenue of 20 million, which is not an easy task since the company only gets a portion of the artists’ profits.

However, Boss Wei is still very humane and can allow them to share part of the KPI within the company.

The company has launched many projects this year.

Among them is "Soul Ferry", which was previously co-produced with Tangren and is a web drama. Qiyi and LeTV are both interested in getting involved.

Previously, both parties focused their main energy on "Startling by Each Step" and other projects. Now they can spare some resources and manpower to get started.

Wei Yang nodded at Li Jiahang and said, "You will play the male lead in this drama. Please prepare for it later."

Li Jiahang was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He still said the same thing, he would play whatever role Wei Yang asked him to play, if given a supporting role he would play a supporting role, if given a leading role he would play it well and not let Wei Yang down.

"The company has just signed on to write a novel called 'Chef Fang of Hua Jian'. The script is being adapted, with Li Ying and Geng Xin starring in the lead roles."

Xiao Zhao obviously knew about this and was not surprised. Wei Yang looked at Zhao Ji again and said, "We discussed an idol drama with Tangren before, called "Diamond Lover". Originally, you and Hu Ge were scheduled to play the role. It just so happens that it is the second time you played with "Orange Born in Huainan". Now there may be a change. Qiao Zhenyu will play the role. You should be prepared."

The heroine of "Diamond Lover" is a silly and innocent girl. Zhao Ji has played Wan Yu in "Love Apartment" and is very good at this. Wei Yang is not worried and looks at Rouba again.

"You play the second female lead in this drama. Go back and take a look at Fan Qianqian in My Love from the Star. Their characters are somewhat similar."

Rouba is a well-behaved guy, so it should be. As for Zhang Songwen, he didn't get any specific role, but these crews will give him priority if there is any suitable role.

Finally, Naza found that he was the only one who hadn't said anything, and he blinked at Wei Yang.

"Boss, what about me?"

"Don't worry, there are a lot of announcements waiting for you after "Eastern Palace". Besides, the boss hasn't decided on a new drama yet, so you can't miss your role."

Lei Chun tried to comfort her, he was reluctant to let Nazha take a new role so soon. Now the artist management department was relying on her to make money, so he had to squeeze her hard.

When Naza heard that there was a possibility of acting in Wei Yang's new play, he immediately stopped talking happily, and everyone else turned their eyes to Wei Yang.

Although the company has arranged new male and female lead roles for them, who can resist if Wei Yang has a suitable important role in his new drama?

Haven’t you seen that Qiao Zhenyu, Nie Yuan, Tang Yan, Rouba and others all became very popular after playing supporting roles in his TV series?

Wei Yang felt everyone's gaze and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, the casting hasn't started yet. If the conditions are right, we will definitely give priority to our own people."
