Chapter 39 New Agents and Connections
The Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle was driving slowly on the road.
Looking at the thoughtful look on the young assistant Ah Zhen’s face, Wang Jinghua added a few words:
“A Zhen, if you want to make a name for yourself in this circle, the most important thing is You need to learn to look at people. You should observe more in daily life. Don’t look at what people say, but the most important thing is to look at what they do.” There are some who are very popular, and there are also those who are not very good at it. Some are very angry and domineering, while some are humble and submissive..."
"In short, there are all kinds of people in the circle. When you meet them, you must remember not to use personal subjective filters, but treat every artist you come into contact with as an ordinary person."
"There is also the fact that some of them are not very popular yet, and you cannot show a condescending attitude. You have to put everyone on an equal footing to communicate, or they may suddenly become popular one day. , when you come back to your senses, you may have already stood at the position you need to look up to."
"Oh, Aunt Hua, I probably understand."
Wang Jinghua said earnestly. Heap, the assistant A Zhen nodded with some confusion: "Just like Huang Bo, from being unknown to becoming famous, he only needs one work."
"Aunt Hua, I think Zhou Yutang has potential Taller than Huang Bo.”
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
"First of all, Huang Bo has strong business ability, but limited image conditions. He can only follow the route of a powerful actor. His future development will be subject to certain restrictions, and Zhou Yutang's physical condition is too Well, the plasticity is obviously stronger, and the TV series he produced by himself is really exciting."
Assistant Ah Zhen seemed to be enlightened, and he drew inferences from one example.
"You figure it out for yourself."
Wang Jinghua didn't comment, just smiled.
Well, Ah Zhen is a very spiritual girl, and she deserves to be the second most proud disciple she brought out.
The little assistant A Zhen said with a slightly excited tone: "Aunt Hua, can I take a photo with Zhou Yutang next time? I just received a call from Mr. Wang and I forgot to mention it."
" Whatever you want.”
Wang Jinghua put her hand on her forehead, as if she had thought of something, and turned around and said, “Send a message to Xiaoshuang later and tell her that the opportunity she has been waiting for may come.”< br>
…………………………
After sending Sister Hua away, Zhou Yutang sat in the Four Seasons Hall, stirring the coffee and recalling the meeting.
Overall.
Behaved very calmly, even if they refused politely, they did not hurt each other's harmony.
Sister Yu’s face was also taken care of.
Wang Jinghua is really a character. She offered her an olive branch, but Zhou Yutang declined it politely, without changing the look on her face.
On the contrary, from the perspective of someone who has been in the same circle, he did not use a preaching tone, but rather from the perspective of an elder in the family, and put forward some very pertinent and practical suggestions for Zhou Yutang's career.
Such a friendly gesture made Zhou Yutang inevitably have a good impression of her, and also retained the possibility of future cooperation.
Zhou Yutang went out and looked up at the blue sky.
It is indeed a vanity fair.
Just then, Cai Yinong and Zeng Jia came to the door one after another, and even Sister Hua took action.
After "Want to Meet You" is aired on the next star, I am afraid that more and more brokerage companies will offer olive branches.
If Zhou Yutang has no ambitions and just wants to be a star and make money, it might be a good idea to sign a contract with Wang Jinghua.
With Sister Hua’s existing connections, even if she subtracts her share of the company, she will still make a lot of money.
But he wanted more than that.
“It’s time to find an agent.”
Zhou Yutang thought to himself.
Through the studio, Zhou Yutang’s Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio wants to recruit agents, and those with industry experience are preferred.
I quickly received a lot of resumes.
After reading it roughly, I screened out a large section.
First of all, men don’t want it.
Secondly, no one over 35 years old.
This is not about gender or age discrimination, but the most important characteristic of the brokerage industry is carefulness.
At this point, women have a natural advantage. Those who are too old will not be able to devote most of their energy to work due to family reasons.
Soon, Zhou Yutang highlighted one person.
Li Shuang.
Gender: Female
Age: 30 years old
Experience: A native of Beijing, graduated from Tianchao Communication University majoring in radio and television journalism. During school, she served as the chairman of the student union of the School of Film and Television Arts, and achieved many successes during the period. Planned and hosted events, studied abroad as an exchange student in South Korea for two years, and started working in the entertainment industry after graduation.
After half a year, he switched to behind-the-scenes publicity work. He once served as an artist assistant in Wang Jinghua's team. During this period, he served as the agent for celebrities such as Hu Jun and Xiao Songjia. He resigned from Huajie's team last year and is currently unemployed.
Proficient skills: Proficient in four languages: Chinese, English, Korean and French, proficient in makeup skills, and have more than seven years of driving experience.
Judging from the resume, this woman named Li Shuang has quite outstanding qualifications.
Not only has he demonstrated his ability in this area since college, but he also has the experience of working with Wang Jinghua, the number one agent in the Mainland.
Zhou Yutang quickly sent her an interview notice and screened several alternatives from her resume.
This afternoon.
Wearing a simple and smart professional suit, Li Shuang walked into the cafe carrying a satchel.
Zhou Yutang was sitting by the window, with an upright posture, back straight, and long fingers replying to messages on his mobile phone.
Li Shuang's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Yutang for the first time.
She knew she had come to the right place, and her eyes showed a hint of excitement.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Li Shuang came up to say hello, and Zhou Yutang also stood up and shook hands with her gently, making a gesture to sit down,
"Hello, I've seen the situation, and I'm mainly asking you a few questions today."
"OK, please ask."
Li Shuang, who looks pretty, has short, ear-length hair. , eyes are very bright.
She has an energetic temperament similar to that of a strong woman, which makes Zhou Yutang feel a bit like a younger version of Wang Jinghua.
No pleasantries.
Zhou Yutang asked the first question directly: "You were an artist at first, and then why did you become an agent? Don't you think it is a hard profession?"
His eyesight is quite good.
Although the bag the other party was carrying and the professional suit he was wearing were from niche brands, they were not expensive.
But she has a very special temperament, a bit like she has seen the world.
A girl like this should be sitting in an office building drinking coffee instead of being an artist manager, a career that is hard, tiring and has no future.
"Originally I planned to be an artist, but then I got a role on a film crew, and the casting guide wanted to unspoken rules for me."
"."
The corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly, and he was a little curious. Asked: "Then what?"
"Then I quit." Li Shuang shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "The crew is finished too, it's just that simple."
"Later, my family did not allow me to be an artist. I personally felt that being a star was boring, but I was very interested in the entertainment industry, so I switched to working behind the scenes."
"Okay."
< br>Zhou Yutang nodded thoughtfully.
To be honest, think about it from the boss’s perspective.
Zhou Yutang’s original intention was to find an agent who could endure hardships and stand hard work.
It's best to be as hard-working and uncomplaining as an old scalper.
Li Shuang's conditions were outstanding, but the impression he gave Zhou Yutang was somewhat different from what he expected.
"You don't have to worry about anything else. I'm familiar with the artist's work process, and I think I'm qualified for the position of manager."
Li Shuang smoothed his hair beside his ears and revealed a Hearty smile.
After all, the interview still has to go on.
Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and continued to ask: "What do you think an agent does?"
"I think it is to help artists with time management, how to make artists coordinate within a limited time. Various announcements can help artists create greater value, make use of their personal connections as much as possible, and create conditions for their artists to make more profits. This is probably what agents need to do. "< br>
Li Shuang’s thinking is very clear and he answers with almost no pause.
Zhou Yutang paused while playing with the coffee spoon with his fingers, and continued to ask: "I have seen your resume. It is very eye-catching. It is enough to hold positions in the agency departments of some large entertainment companies in the industry. Why did you choose A small studio like mine?"
"Do you usually play games like this?"
"Ah?"
Zhou Yutang was slightly startled: "I play it occasionally."
"Don't you think the fun of playing Legend lies in killing monsters, leveling up and exploding equipment?"
"What you said makes sense."
"That's what I think."
Miss Li Shuang shrugged her shoulders and said with a casual smile: "I believe in Sister Hua's vision, and I believe in you. You still have a lot of potential that can be tapped."
"You and Sister Hua seem to have a good relationship. May I ask, why did you leave Sister Hua’s team in the first place?”
“The thing is, I was playing abroad for a while and failed to become an artist after returning to China. An elder introduced me to work with Sister Hua. , I have followed Sister Hua for several years, and I am already familiar with the basic work process. I feel that I have the connections and the ability to do things on my own."
Li Shuang answered frankly: "It just so happens that your studio is hiring. "Hey, Sister Hua said it was a good opportunity, so I came over to take a look."
The two of them chatted in the coffee shop for more than an hour.
"If there are no problems, we can sign the contract today."
After confirming that this may be a relatively suitable candidate, Zhou Yutang pushed a dessert on the table over with a bright smile: "Try the tira here. Misu, you girls should like it very much.”
…………………………
Li Shuang is very happy.
The contract was signed that day.
The contract included a confidentiality clause.
The trial period is three months.
This also leaves a way out for both parties.
If this girl doesn’t want to play anymore, or is not competent enough at work, then the contract will be automatically terminated at that time, so that everyone can get together and part ways.
The matter of the agent was quickly settled, and Zhou Yutang began to ask her to help handle some announcements, otherwise he would waste a lot of time just answering phone calls and replying messages every day.
He happened to use the free time to write scripts.
"Want to See You" is a foregone conclusion on Hunan Satellite TV, and the following period is an important publicity period.
A few days later.
As Zhou Yutang's manager, Li Shuang brought Zhou Yutang his first heavyweight event announcement "Entertainment Live".
“Sister Shuang, do you know anyone from Guangguang?”
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised and a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the first announcement Li Shuang received for him was quite important.
Enlight Media's "Entertainment Live" is China's first entertainment program and is currently the most authoritative and comprehensive large-scale entertainment information program that reports on hot trends in the entertainment industry.
There are six major collection stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Huadu, Taipei, Xiangjiang, and Seoul, which intensively broadcast the most noteworthy entertainment news at the moment. It is known as the "News Network" in the entertainment industry. It is now on 158 It is broadcast on a TV channel, covering hundreds of millions of viewers in most cities across the country!
This program is quite powerful. It ranks first in the ratings of programs at the same time in most regions. It even has a certain influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Xie Nan, the host of Guangguang's interview with hot figures, is my friend."
Li Shuang handed a document he had compiled to Zhou Yutang and said calmly: "We have invited a few of your crew for this interview. The starring actors can cooperate with the promotion of "Want to See You" and broadcast the recorded content in several episodes. "
The hot figure interview section is to conduct in-depth conversations or interviews with the parties involved in recent hot entertainment news.
This wave of operations is probably to wait for the popularity of "Want to See You" to rise after it is broadcast on the star, and then take advantage of the trend to attract a wave of popularity.
With such an opportunity in front of him, of course Zhou Yutang would not miss it. He notified Zeng Li, Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun and rushed to the show recording site at the appointed time.
"Your agent is very powerful."
Zeng Li was whispering to Zhou Yutang below.
Being able to catch the spotlight and be interviewed on such a heavyweight entertainment program is an opportunity to appear in front of a large audience. Many celebrities in the industry are vying to be on it.
"Sister Shuang does have connections."
Zhou Yutang also nodded, but in his mind he was wondering whether it was time to sign a formal contract with Sister Shuang.
Judging from the past few days, this sister's ability is beyond words and she has many friends in the circle.
Perhaps we should learn from the advanced management experience of Mr. Cai from the Tang Dynasty, sign a contract for ten years and start from eight years, let Sister Shuang be bound to Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio, and contribute her light and enthusiasm to the rise of the studio
The site is still being debugged.
Zeng Li said a few words to Zhou Yutang. Seeing that his expression was calm and not nervous at all, Zeng Li turned to give Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong a few words of instructions.
Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong are still newcomers and have not appeared on any heavyweight entertainment programs yet. Zeng Li is an old-timer, so we should help them with their psychological development in advance and impart some experience.
"Thank you, Sister Li."
Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun nodded.
Take a few deep breaths, it’s not bad.
I was still nervous when I first started going on the show, but I also ran a lot of promotions during this period, and my mentality has been tempered.
Not to mention Zhou Yutang, it was as if he had returned to his own home. He accidentally started chatting with the cameras and lights at the scene
Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong were reading the script without even looking at it. They were already accustomed to Zhou Yutang's social skills.
Zeng Li glanced and choked up.
Soon she smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
Anyway, this day is really not in vain.
Zhou Yutang did not expect an unexpected gain.
Thank you for the 1000 reward for liking Yang Chaoyue
