Chapter 670: The Idea of Starting a Company
Monday, June 22. This week is the last week of the semester and the exam week for the school.
At half past ten in the morning, Xiao Yao, who had finished taking a theory course, walked out of a classroom with a very relaxed expression. In his previous life, Xiao Yao studied in an ordinary college, and he often didn't pay much attention to his classes, and he made up for self-study a week before the end of the semester, and finally passed the final exam smoothly, and now his brain is much better than in his previous life, although he usually has a lot of activities and a lot of leave, but he usually takes a lot of classes, plus a week of bad supplements, Xiao Yao is naturally very confident in the final exam.
Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and pressed the power button. As a result, as soon as the phone was turned on, a call came in.
"Is there still something wrong?" Xiao Yao walked to the side against the wall and picked up the phone, and said a little strangely.
The caller ID is Fang Zhen's name. Fang is still with Xiao Yao for a few years, and she knows Xiao Yao quite well, and she knows that Xiao Yao is taking the exam this week, and she shouldn't call to bother her if there is nothing special to do.
"I just finished the exam, right? I won't ask you how you did. Fang still smiled on the phone, "There is indeed something, Haiyan Entertainment and Wola Entertainment are looking for you." ”
"Haiyan Entertainment, I know, what kind of company is Wow Entertainment?" Xiao Yao said a little strangely.
"Artist agency," Fang still said, "Isn't the selection of the girl group of "Creation 101" over? They are looking for you for one purpose, to make you fulfill your promises. ”
"Fulfill the promise?" Xiao Yao repeated.
"Yes!" Fang still said, "Didn't you say that when you participated in the performance that time, as long as half of the people in your group could make it to the final group of eleven people, you would write songs and choreographs for that girl group? ”
"Oh?" Xiao Yao asked, "Which four?"
Xiao Yao has been immersed in making up classes and reviewing these days, and weekends are no exception, and he didn't care about watching yesterday's finals at all.
"Wei Yunjing, Lai Zhaodi, Lu Mingshuang, Wu Huiyi. Fang still said.
"Village Hua'er still went in," Xiao Yao sighed, "It's a pity for Yang Shiyun, it's a pity for Chen Ziwei." ”
"So they asked me for a song?" Xiao Yao then asked, "I only had a result yesterday, and the group press conference didn't start, right, and now you're in a hurry to find me, right?"
"Don't be in a hurry!" Fang still smiled, "They have an event! They are going to participate in Shonan Satellite TV's "Graduation Song Party" as a group debut, and they want to make their debut with your song!"
"Isn't that the day after tomorrow?" Xiao Yao said in surprise.
"Graduation Song Party" is a theatrical evening organized by Shonan Satellite TV, and Xiao Yao has also been invited before, and he knows the time of the party. It was a live broadcast party, held during Xiao Yao's exam week, Xiao Yao had to take the exam, and there was only one day before the premiere of his movie, Xiao Yao did not agree to participate.
"That's why I called you!" Fang still said, "I know that you have to take the exam these days, if it is something else, I will directly help you push it, but this matter was said in public during the public performance, I don't dare to help you call the shots." ”
"I also told the other party about your recent exams, but your image of a genius is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Fang still continued, "That time to do the show, it only took you ten minutes to write the song, and it only took a few hours to do the dubbing. They said they could pull the team to Shencheng on your own time. If you say yes, they'll be there in the afternoon. If you don't take exams at night, you can ask them to study with you at night. Tomorrow you go to the exam during the day, they practice on their own, and then you give guidance at night, and the day after tomorrow they go to Shonan. ”
"Learn a song and a dance in two days?" Xiao Yao said speechlessly, "It took me a week to learn to meow at "Learning to Meow"! ”
"Then how do I reply?" Fang was still laughing, "By the way, since last night, many fans of the girl group members have been shouting on the Internet for you to write a debut song for them! ”
"It doesn't matter if he has it or not!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "What I promised was to write songs and choreographs for them, but I didn't say that I would write a debut song for them, nor did I say that I would produce and direct it myself, and you want to take this to me?"
"If it were normal, I would have written the song tonight and recorded the dance moves as a demonstration video and sent it to them. Xiao Yao continued, "But Haiyan is in such a hurry to ask them to perform on stage, and it is still a live broadcast party, and it is impossible to go without problems." They don't care about the girls' reputation, I still care about mine!"
"You just tell them, what I said will definitely count, but what I promised is to write songs and choreograph, not to say that it is a debut song!" Xiao Yao finally said, "I have been busy with the exam recently, and it will be the premiere of the movie soon, so I don't have the heart to write songs and choreograph! ”
"After the movie is released, don't you still want to go to the United States to make a movie during the summer vacation?" Fang still said, "If they ask for a specific time, how should I answer?"
"I don't know!" Xiao Yao said, "Isn't their girl group going to be a team member for a year and a half? Within a year and a half, I will definitely give them all the songs and dances!"
"A year and a half, this is too ruthless, isn't it?" Fang still smiled, "It's hard to say whether this girl group can last for a year and a half!"
"It's just talking, it won't take so long!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I really can't hold on, my song is their disbandment song, maybe I can help them last for a while." ”
"Well, I know how to reply. Fang still smiled. As an agent, Fang still won't speak as straightforwardly as Xiao Yao, she just wants to understand Xiao Yao's decisions and thoughts. Speaking of which, the purpose of Fang Yi's call was also achieved.
Xiao Yao hung up the phone, turned around and looked at the door of the classroom that was used as the examination room, and found that Xu Liang and Qin Hao were really standing not far away looking at him.
These two are Xiao Yao's classmates and former roommates, and they are the two who have a good relationship with Xiao Yao. They were the same as Xiao Yao's course, they had just finished the exam, but when they came out, they saw Xiao Yao on the phone, and they didn't get too close to Xiao Yao, knowing that Xiao Yao paid attention to privacy, and stood aside and waited. At this time, seeing Xiao Yao put away his mobile phone and turned around, the two walked over.
"Big star, business is busy!" Xu Liang hugged Xiao Yao and smiled.
"It's very busy," Xiao Yao smiled and said nonsense, "A TV crew invested by my mother wants to recruit actors, do you want to introduce you to try? Anyway, it's going to be summer vacation soon, so I should go to a summer job!"
"What role, are there many scenes?" asked Xu Liang.
"Extras, play corpses!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Go, I'm an acting student in a class, going to the TV drama crew to play a corpse?" Xu Liang pouted, "I'm going to work a summer job, unless it's to go to your sister's studio!"
"It's not like you haven't tried it, but it's a pity that even if you are in the name of Xiao Yao, Sister Xi still doesn't want you!" Qin Hao said with a smile on the side, "I think Sister Xi is sharp-eyed and sees that your motives are not pure!"
"Yo~" Xiao Yao screamed strangely and looked at Xu Liangdao, "There is also this kind of thing, it seems that you are really interested!"
"Hey, don't mention this stubble, okay?" Xu Liang said with some embarrassment.
"Or you!" Xu Liang looked at Xiao Yao again, "You big star often take leave to participate in activities, fame and fortune are gained, come back to us for the exam and make up for it, make up for it, but obviously we are giving you make-up classes, and your final exam results are always better than the two of us, it's really infuriating! Whether it's the hard work of helping you make up for the class, or the comfort you need, you have to compensate for the two of us!"
"Okay, then what compensation do you need!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
Xiao Yao's best relationship in school must definitely be Lin Qisan, but Lin Qisan is not in the same class as him, there are many small classes in art schools, and many courses Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan do not take together, so in terms of make-up classes, Xiao Yao finds these two former roommates the most.
"Of course I'm inviting the two of us to a big dinner!" Xu Liang said, "I won't eat roadside stalls this time!"
"I thought you were going to ask Xiao Yao to arrange for you to work part-time in Sister Xi's studio!" Qin Hao said with a smile.
"I think so too!" Xiao Yao also smiled.
"Go, don't mention this stubble!" Xu Liang glared at Qin Hao and said, "I'm here for the benefit of the two of us!
"It's too pediatric to please eat. Xiao Yao smiled, "I'm going to give you a big gift!"
"What kind of gift?" asked Xu Liang.
Qin Hao also looked at Xiao Yao curiously.
"But not now!" Xiao Yao said, "We still have one year to undergraduate." There were basically no classes in the second semester of the senior year, but there were still a few theory courses in the first semester of the senior year. I guess I will still ask for leave often in the second half of the year, and when you help me pass the final exams of the next semester, and when I am about to graduate, I will give you another big gift, so I won't tell you now!"
"I'll go, I'll have to wait a year!" Xu Liang shouted, "You're painting a big pie to trick us, right?"
"I'm looking forward to it. Qin Hao smiled, "Xiao Yao has always been a man of words. And even if he doesn't have a gift, if he asks us to help him make up for his classes next semester, can we still refuse?"
"That's right," Xu Liang nodded, but still looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Can you reveal a little bit in advance, what kind of gift is it?"
"Don't say it," Xiao Yao shook his head and hugged Xu Liang back, "There is one more course in the afternoon, find a classroom and read a book for a while, and invite the two of you to a big meal at noon!"
"Xiao Yao!" The three of them were laughing, when suddenly a shout came from behind.
The three of them turned around when they heard the sound and found that it was Tang Xiaoling who chased after them.
"Yo~ I talked about her just now!" Qin Hao said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Liang glared at Qin Hao and said, "She's obviously here to find Xiao Yao!"
"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Yao asked Tang Xiaoling who rushed to the front with a smile.
"Well," Tang Xiaoling nodded, "I have something I want to ask you, are you free now?" if you have time, let's go to the café outside the school and sit down, and I will invite you to coffee!"
"It's nothing," Xiao Yao said, "There is an exam in the afternoon, and I won't go back at noon, I originally planned to find a classroom with the two of them to read books, and then go to lunch together." ”
"If you have something to do, go ahead, and the two of us will arrange it ourselves at noon!" Qin Hao hugged Xu Liangdao.
"I originally promised to invite the two of them to dinner at noon!" Xiao Yao glanced at Xu Liang and said to Tang Xiaoling.
"Let's go together!" Tang Xiaoling invited.
"The two of you talk about things, let's go together, is it convenient?" Qin Hao said.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, let's go together!" Tang Xiaoling said, "It's quiet in the café, you can also read a book and review." That café serves lunch, so you can eat there at noon, I invite you!"
"Don't, Xiao Yao is here, where is your turn to have a dinner!" Xu Liang said, "We want to eat together!"
"I also have a share of her salary!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Why can't you let her invite me to dinner?"
"That's right, you're someone's boss, I'm embarrassed to let the employees invite you as the boss!" Xu Liang said.
"Okay, don't fight," Qin Hao waved his hand and said, "Xiaoling has something to do with Xiao Yao, don't waste time here." ”
As soon as Qin Hao said this, Xiao Yao and Xu Liang stopped arguing. The four of them walked together to the café outside the school.
The café opened outside the Shen Opera is commonplace for celebrities, and Xiao Yao has been to this café several times, and the waiters in the store are not particularly excited to see Xiao Yao.
The four of them found a place to sit down and ordered coffee and snacks. After the waiter brought the things up, Xiao Yao went straight to the point and asked Tang Xiaoling, "What are you looking for me? Is there something wrong with the work in the studio?"
"No!" Tang Xiaoling shook her head, "It's not about the studio, it's related to my career development." ”
"Career development?" Xu Haoqi said.
"About a month ago, Sister Qiao Shan was asked to be a costume consultant by the crew of a modern fashion drama, and she knew that I was studying acting, so she took me with me. Tang Xiaoling said, "At that time, it was in the preparation stage of the crew, and we went to have a meeting with the director, artist, costume designer, and other behind-the-scenes personnel to give some opinions on their costumes. ”
"Then they took a fancy to you and wanted you to play a role in it, you don't know if you should take it?" Qin Hao guessed, "Next, this is a good thing!"
"Then it depends on what kind of character it is, right?" Xu Liang retorted to Qin Hao, looked at Tang Xiaoling and said, "Did you bring the script over?" Let Xiao Yao help you see it!"
"This was a month ago," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, and said to the two, "An actor who has a temporary crush, still doesn't have any works, and he hasn't graduated from his bachelor's degree, will you think about it for a month?"
"Oh," the two nodded, "too!"
"Don't interject, listen to Xiaoling!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"It's true that it's not looking for me to act, and it's not that the crew has taken a fancy to me!" Tang Xiaoling said, "It's the actor who plays the heroine in the play who has taken a fancy to me." The heroine of that play is Li Ya, and she has the most costumes in the play, so she was also there that day. Listening to Sister Qiao Shan's introduction that I was from the Shen Opera Performance Department, Li Ya chatted with me a lot. After the conversation, she said she wanted to sign me into her studio. ”
"Li Ya, the four little flowers in the past, are now a big traffic, right? Her studio seems to have heard that it is good, and she has signed a lot of young actors, right?"
"Don't you want to stay in Yin Xi's studio as a costume assistant or change your career to become a costume designer in the future?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"No!" Tang Xiaoling shook her head and said, "I applied for the drama performance department, of course I still want to be an actor!"
"Then where are you hesitating?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I'm afraid that Sister Xi has an opinion? You are a part-time job, she shouldn't have an opinion, right?"
"Nope. Tang Xiaoling said, "I told Sister Xi about this, she said that our studio can also sign me, but the resources of our studio are strong in fashion, and we have only signed models and designers, and we have not signed actors." In terms of film and television, she herself is just like that, and she may not have many resources for me. You, the second boss, have a studio at home, and I don't know if I will bring film and television resources here in the future, so she is afraid of delaying me, and she doesn't dare to sign me. If I'm going to sign up for another studio, she doesn't have any opinion there, let me ask your opinion!"
"So it was Sister Xi who pushed you to me?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"No," Tang Xiaoling shook her head and said, "I know that Li Ya is very famous, but I don't know what her studio is like and what it will be like when she goes." Even if Sister Xi doesn't say it, I want to ask your opinion!"
"It's really hard to say!" Qin Hao nodded, "Li Ya is very famous, and there are two young actors under her who have been very popular in the past two years, but I heard that she has signed more than a dozen young actors, and not every one of them can be popular." ”
"Didn't Sister Xi say that Xiao Yao's family has a studio?" Xu Liang said, "Ye Yinghou and Cheng Xi are very popular, just Xiao Yao, you sign Xiaoling to your studio, with you as the boss, Xiaoling will definitely be popular." ”
"It's all classmates, can I sign all the more than 40 people in our class?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said.
"Okay! That's what you said!" Xu Liang climbed along the pole, "Then we will call you boss in the future!"
"Damn it, my studio is my parents', not mine!" Xiao Yao pushed Xu Liang.
"Actually, I don't know much about Li Ya and her studio. Xiao Yao said, "Judging from the fact that she has been able to have two young actors become popular in the past two years, the resources she has at her disposal should be good, and I heard our senior sister Ren Bing say that she is also very good to the artists under her." However, as Qin Hao said, not every artist under her is well-developed. So my advice is that you can sign a contract and keep it as short as possible. It's best not to be more than five years, when you are not old, if the development is not good, there is still a chance to change the door and start over. ”
"Okay, I'll think about it seriously," Tang Xiaoling said, "Thank you!"
"Xiao Yao," Qin Hao looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Have you ever considered opening an entertainment company by yourself?"
"Xiao Yao has a studio at home, what kind of entertainment company does he open?" Xu Liang said with a blank look at Qin Hao.
"It's different," Qin Hao said, "His family's entertainment company is still his parents' own! Even if his parents will listen to his advice, it is estimated that Xiao Yao will not like to interfere too much." ”
"You really know me!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Of course, it's a joke to sign all of us this year, and I don't want you to sign the two of us, but among the more than 40 of us, there must be people with good qualifications and great potential, right?" Qin Hao continued, "After the top master in martial arts reaches the top, don't you still like to fight for an apprentice? If you can cultivate a few big stars, you should also have a great sense of accomplishment, right? You are like this now, I think the resources you can master in the future should not be worse than Li Ya, and in terms of creating subordinate artists, it should not be worse than her!"
"It's so troublesome to start a company!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Besides, why should I be compared to Li Yabi! I haven't graduated from this bachelor's degree, but I've been famous for more than ten years, so there's no comparison at all! Let my mother compare with her." Do you say it's Cheng Xihong or Ren Binghong?"
"This~ Okay, when I didn't say it!" Qin Hao waved his hand.
"Open a company?" Although Xiao Yao told Qin Hao that it was troublesome to start a company, he was actually a little tempted.
However, Xiao Yao thought that opening a company was not to sign artists, but to realize his ideas in film and television more conveniently.
The current animated film is a collaboration with Tong Luo's company, and the upcoming parkour movie is an independent film put together by several people. If you want to continue to make film and television works in the future, it is more convenient to have your own film and television company. Not only does it look more formal, it's easier to find collaborators and investors, there are financial and tax issues, but it's also better to have a company like this.
Of course, this is only Xiao Yao's idea at present, if he really wants to start a company, it is estimated that it will have to be after the parkour movie is filmed, and it will probably have to be after he graduates from college.
Xiao Yao would definitely not take this matter out to discuss with the three classmates at this time, so he directly exposed this topic. Seeing that Tang Xiaoling didn't have anything else to ask, he beckoned everyone to take out the textbooks and notes, and reviewed the subjects to be examined in the afternoon together in the café.
