Recommended song: Xiaoyu, just say what you want
This Porsche is not Li Chenxi's own, it is just borrowed from a friend.
Li Chenxi also has a car himself, and he has a BMW in New York. Although Li Chenxi's assets are not bad, he has not yet reached the level of spending a lot of money in high society, so his love for cars only stops at watching, and occasionally borrowing a friend's car to drive it is considered enjoyable.
"I know that I want to come over to pick you up, and my uncle specially lent you a long face. Li Chenxi proudly sneered.
However, Li Zhunyi still doesn't know his uncle, "If you want to open it, just say it, don't use me as an excuse." I'm not my mother. Li Chenxi coughed awkwardly, and defended two sentences, "Let you also sit in a Porsche, and spit out me, you have to know if it's okay." ”
"By the way, have you read the resume of the agent who emailed you?" Li Chenxi hurriedly changed the topic and turned Li Zhunyi's attention to the main task of this trip to Los Angeles.
"Yes, flipped through. Li Zhunyi also followed Li Chenxi's topic, but Li Zhunyi didn't care much about the agent's resume, Li Zhunyi still hoped to be real. For example, Lin Xiyuan and Park Jinyu are like this. Originally, the agent played the role of the helmsman for the future planning of the artist, that is to say, a good agent will not only select good works for the artist, but also plan the publicity, marketing and other parts for the artist. However, it is good for Li Zhunyi to choose by himself: there is a predictive ability of chicken ribs, although chicken ribs, but there is no need to use them in vain, and it is really easy to use when selecting works; and the planning and publicity part is helmed by Hong Chengxian, Li Chenxi and others, and there is basically no problem. So a good agent, for Lee Joon-yi, is real, and he understands the American entertainment industry, which is enough.
But then again, Lee Joon-yi has no foundation in the United States, and many times he still has to rely on his agent to open the way. This is also the reason why Li Chenxi and Lynch are very cautious in choosing agents.
At the café where he made an appointment to meet, Li Zhunyi met Li Chenxi's thousands of agent candidates, Fred Pyle.
Fred Pyle has a short golden brown hair, because of the natural curl relationship, although it is not long, but it still shows tangled curls, but it has a more suave feeling. A pair of eyes are not very big, but with an indifferent smile, you can vaguely see a patterned diaphragm. In fact, Fred Pyle is not a handsome guy, but he gives people a romantic feeling, and he is a middle and old player. I don't know if this description is right, but Li Zhunyi always feels that he and Li Chenxi are very similar, both of them have a bit of Chu Liuxiang, but the style is different, and it is estimated that the groups attracted are also different.
"Hello, Mr. Yi, I'm Fred Pyle. Fred Pyle skillfully stretched out his hand to Lee Joon-yi, and it seemed that his investigation had been well prepared in advance.
After Li Zhunyi also said hello, he sat down with Li Chenxi. Li Zhunyi just chatted politely for a few words, and then went straight to the topic, "I don't know what you think of Justin?" Although it is said that the agent has a probationary period, in fact, there is no substantive work, and there is only one thing: how to sell Justin Bieber?
In the United States, releasing records is different from that in South Korea. Although to put it simply, it's all the same, as long as someone is willing to pay to help you release an album. But in the relatively mature music market of the United States, thinking about the album so simply means that it will be buried in this highly competitive audio-visual market. At Justin Bieber's age, debuting as a child star is the most common packaging method, including youth dramas such as "Youth Musical" and talent shows such as "American Idol" can become channels for launching singers. However, the most commonly used route in the U.S. is the Disney Channel, through which the company can accumulate enough visibility and awareness before the company packages the record.
But the problem is that Justin Bieber has signed with the Yi family, and Disney Channel cannot become a promotional platform for Justin Bieber.
Fred Pyle had a draft in mind, and unhurriedly stated, "It's a bold attempt to release an album for Justin Bieber." Bieber is a great singer and has a very good talent, but he has no Disney support, and he has never been on TV, and to the public, Bieber is just a nobody. Even if his singing is beautiful, it's not enough for us to take risks. After all, it takes a lot of courage to make a record for a teenager who has not been tested by the market. ”
As for Fred Pyle's statement, Lee Joon-yi has already anticipated it, this is not a new point of view, what is important is the next solution, "What does Mr. Pyle think should be done?"
Fred Pyle seemed to have expected Li Zhunyi to ask such a question, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands, "Mr. Yi, I'm just an agent, I don't have the ability to go to heaven." The market dictates that now is not a good time to launch Bieber, and there is nothing I can do about it. ”
Hearing Fred Pyle's straightforwardness, Lee Joon-yi laughed instead, but did not continue to pursue this issue, but changed the topic, "Mr. Pyle, as far as I know, you used to work in Warner Bros., which is a giant company in American films, why did you leave Warner Bros. and work in such an unknown small company as the 'Yi family'? To be honest, the 'Yi family' is inferior to a ** film company in terms of treatment and specifications, let alone compared with Warner Bros. Li Zhunyi is bluntly putting it on himself, which is self-aware.
Lee's words made Fred Pyle laugh, "Mr. Yi, are you sure you're poaching now? Fred Pyle's words made Li Zhunyi and Li Chenxi smile at each other, but did not refute, "What if I say that after staying in a large company for a long time, I am more eager for the performance opportunities given to me by a small company? ”
Lee didn't immediately answer Fred Pyle's words, but stared into those cynical eyes. After a brief conversation with Fred Pyle, Li Zhunyi could clearly hear the flamboyant tongue in Fred Pyle's tone, obviously a social master, and a flower master, but at this moment, the eyes that had been wearing a diaphragm became very serious, although the corners of the eyes were still smiling, but the sincerity could not be faked.
Li Zhun Yi only paused for a few seconds, then smiled again, glanced at Li Chenxi, and then stretched out his right hand, "Mr. Pyle, welcome to the 'Yi family'." Fred Pyle also stretched out his right hand, and the two hands clasped together in the air, officially confirming the decision to join the "Yi family".
Li Zhunyi made this decision not only because of his conversation with Fred Pyle, but also because of his trust in Li Chenxi, but also because of his own intuition. He believed that it was the right decision to make Fred Pyle the agent of the "Yi family" in the United States.
Although the agent selected by Li Chenxi this time is not famous, he is also a little accomplished.
Fred Pyle is a Universal Music company from one of the world's top five record labels, he started as an assistant, and after his promotion, he worked as an assistant manager for Maria Kelly and then U2, which is the position Park Jinwoo started with. After his daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, as an agent, the most famous artist he has brought is the popular band maroon5. After spending nine years of his youth at Universal Records, Fred Pyle surprised everyone to change jobs, which is quite incredible.
Next, Fred Pyle joined the film giant Warner Bros. as a film producer. That is, Guy O'Sawy's job as a producer. In recent years, Warner Bros. has become more and more excellent in the Hollywood film industry, in addition to the success of the TOEFL "Harry Potter" series, the movie "The Dark Knight", which won the box office last year, is also from Warner Bros., which shows the strength of Warner Bros. in recent years. Spending another four years of his life under such a brilliant large company is not a long time.
However, since the second half of last year, Fred Pyle has been unexpectedly hidden. As a novice, Fred Pyle started from scratch and it took two or three years to gain enough knowledge and experience to gain a firm foothold in the position of film producer.
But the position of producer is like this, the success and failure of the film are directly linked to the position, unless the company is willing to use you all the time, otherwise the film will fail too much, and it will naturally be left out in the cold, even if you have connections - who wants to hire a producer who will not make money. So, after four failed films in a row, Fred Pyle was let go: he had missed two films in a row because he couldn't get enough support and investment, either from the company or from investors.
Last year, Fred Pyle expressed a strong interest in "Twilight", but Warner Bros. has many investment projects in hand, and "Retro Vampire" is destined to be difficult to become the main event, plus Fred Pyle has been snubbed, and his proposal has almost no high-level attention, so in the end, "Twilight" was bought by the ** film company "Summit Entertainment" and fell into the hands of Guy Othello.
This frustrated Fred Pyle. As an agent, it is a position related to the artist, and whether the treatment is good depends not only on the level of the artist, but also on the artist's character. But as a producer, it is directly linked to interests. Now Fred Pyle is not trusted by the company and investors, which means that he can't even make it. This made Fred Pyle, who had been in the entertainment industry for thirteen years, a little flustered: he was thirty-six years old, and there was no second thirteen years for him to work hard.
At this moment, Li Chenxi's olive branch stretched out.
