Volume 1: Entering a Different World Chapter 14: "Original 108"
Ask for recommendations and support!!
Four days ago, in the conference room of the head office of East China Media Company.
A middle-aged man dressed in heightened clothes stood at the conference table and talked about his new idea to the others - a variety show for the 108 newcomers.
The reason why others disagree is very simple, these more than 100 new artists have not signed a contract yet, and their fame is too small, so it is unprecedented to have a variety show for them.
They don't think it's worth it.
"Oh, why don't you understand the situation?" Hu Lao was so anxious that he drank the small cup of tea in one gulp, and continued, "Think about it, these more than 100 artists, will everyone be famous? They all have the potential to be artists, but the potential alone is not enough, we have to show it on the bright side that it is a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk!"
Hu Lao took a breath, and then said: "If you cultivate one by one, you will have to devote much more resources than going on a variety show together? This variety show not only gives them a platform to show, but also saves us money, and we can use more funds to play on publicity, how good!"
"Besides, I've thought about the competition system, come on, come on, take a look!" Hu Lao took out a stack of paper from the file bag and handed it to everyone, "I wrote down the competition system on paper, doesn't our company have several levels of training resources for artists?" D-level resources, C-level resources, B-level resources, A-level resources, as well as S-level resources and SS-level resources. These more than 100 people either have many years of performance experience and have jumped from other companies, or they are talented and beautiful people who graduated from major famous schools, they are at least worthy of D-level resources, but they are really not good, so they will be ranked at that time, the top 80 are D-level resources, the top 30 are C-level, the top 10 are B-level resources, and the first place gives him A-level resources, isn't it convenient all of a sudden!"
"No!" A man in the board of directors suddenly objected, "Old Hu, I appreciate your creativity, but it's too wasteful for a new artist to give him A-level resources, right?"
"Why is it wasted? You want to cultivate a super seedling selected from thousands of people, as long as you cultivate it well, he will definitely become another pillar of our company, and I will say less about A-level resources!" Hu Lao immediately retorted.
"If he can really become a big star, of course we will praise him, but after participating in a variety show, I am afraid that he will swell if we give him such a high salary!" said a lady on the board.
"No, a real star needs a good character, I see people very accurately. Hu Lao said seriously.
Some on the board laughed and shook their heads.
You say that if you look at people, you will see people? Who knows if those people will swell at that time.
"Okay, I've said it's all right, or let's vote. The lady said.
"Wait!" Hu Lao called them to stop, "Looks like I'm going to have to come up with my killer weapon." ”
He took another file bag out of his briefcase and opened it, revealing more than two dozen contracts.
"I have been in the company for more than 20 years, and I have dealt with many investors, and I spent two days and two nights drafting these contracts, which have the guarantees of these investors, and as long as the program I said can be carried out, they will give us cooperation and support. ”
The board passed the contracts and stopped talking.
"Board of directors, please give me Hu Lao a trust, I dare to guarantee that this show will be successful, if it doesn't achieve the effect I said, I will resign and quit!"
He comes from an extremely ordinary family, he knows that it is not easy to succeed, and he has been working for decades to get to this position, so he cherishes his talents, and he cherishes them very much.
"Alas, Hu Lao, why are you doing this? You are the patriarch of our company!"
"Don't worry, I'm confident, I can't resign!" Hu Lao smiled confidently, he hadn't smiled so confidently for a long time, the last time, it seemed more than twenty years ago.
In fact, Hu Lao doesn't know what gave him so much courage, he has changed a lot in the past few days, and he seems to have the hard work of his youth again.
It seems to be because of that song, that young man.
Ha ha......
......
"Hu Lao, they are coming!" the little assistant knocked on the door, then opened the door and said to Hu Lao.
"Well, let them in. Hu Lao put down the fan and turned off the interview video on his mobile phone.
"Okay. The little assistant retreated, if you take a closer look, this assistant is the petite little girl I saw in the interview with Meng Zuo at that time, but her momentum is not weak.
"Go in, Elder Hu is waiting for you inside. The little girl said to Meng Zuo and his party.
No wonder this assistant is so stylish, it turned out to be Hu Lao's special assistant. Meng Zuo thought to himself, and walked into Hu Lao's office with the others.
When Meng Zuo came, there was no one in the waiting room, and the assistant asked him to wait here, saying that he was not the only one who passed the interview, and he had to wait for everyone to go in again.
Later, five more people came one after another, two girls and three boys, all of whom had the appearance of a star, and Meng Zuo cowered and hid in the corner and didn't dare to look up.
In fact, Meng Zuo is really not bad, and he will not be inferior to these people, but there is no way, Meng Zuo himself doesn't realize that although he always says that he is handsome, he is still very inferior in his heart.
So until he entered Mr. Hu's office, he still lowered his head slightly.
"First of all, congratulations, you passed the interview. Hu Lao looked at them, then smiled and applauded.
"And then, congratulations to you, you're amazing, really good. Hu Lao's voice was raised, "Our three interviewers will give each interviewee a score during the interview, and you are the six with the highest interview scores among tens of thousands of people in six days." ”
"Of course, it's not just the six of you who passed the interview, we have recruited a total of 108 new artists in this interview, and after a while, you will sign the contract and become an intern trainee, your guaranteed salary is 3,000, very little, right?"
"Don't worry, our company implements the grading of resources, divided into six levels: SS, S, A, B, C, and D. So how can you quickly raise your rank? It stands to reason that this matter should be slowed down......"
Everyone heard it, and it was something in the words.
"But!" Sure enough, Hu Lao changed his words, "Our company has arranged a variety show competition program for you, and your 108 artists will get a new ranking in it, and that ranking will affect the company resources you can get."
The top 80 are D-level resources, the top 30 are C-level resources, the top 10 are B-level resources, and the first is A-level resources, A-level, which is equivalent to the level of resources given by the company to first-class stars!"
Hearing this, except for Meng Zuo, who was in a daze, the other five people were breathing a little fast.
"Well, can I ask a question?" Meng Zuo raised his hand timidly.
The other five people were stunned, do they still have to raise their hands to ask questions in this era?
"Meng Zuo, you ask. Hu Lao liked him very much and was not angry at his interjection.
"Does this variety show have a name?"
"Of course! I thought about it for a long time. Hu Lao deliberately sold a pass, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "I call this show: "Original 108"!"
