No one wants to serve others all their lives, and this kind of work can't be paid too highly, otherwise it's unreasonable and unfair.

But it doesn't mean that there is no room for promotion in this position, Xiao Guo chose the most common and safest route.

has been by Cao Wu's side for a long time, whether it is a TV station or a record company, he has known a lot of people, and he has been running with Cao Wu all day long, at least his knowledge has increased a lot.

The agent of the Black Hole Band has always been Zhang Rong, who is also the veteran of the company, and he is currently the vice president of the company, in charge of the brokerage department and the copyright department.

Xinghai Culture now has more than 30 signed artists, in addition to Black Hole, Beyond, and Second-hand Rose, there are two bands, five original musicians, and three actors.

But there are only five brokers.

At present, it is a time when there is a shortage of manpower, and with Xiao Guo's current ability, it is more than enough to bring newcomers.

And he also has the advantage of a black hole, even if he is an actor, he has the cheekiness to ask Cao Wu for a favor and go on the platform of the show together, Cao Wu will not refuse.

Once he can pick it up, then even if he just gets a share, the income is quite considerable.

But it's not easy for him to talk about this, even if it's still in a company, just change the position, change the job content, and promotion is also a person's normal demand, but if he speaks first, it will still be a little twisted.

Therefore, what moved him was that Cao Wu was as careful as a hair, and talked about this topic directly, without embarrassing him.

It's actually very simple, but the relationship between people is very delicate, and it's not simple at all.

Even ordinary people, it is not uncommon to have a grudge because of one eye, let alone in the workplace and entertainment industry.

Cao Wu is usually good to him, but he is not sure if Cao Wu's evaluation of him will change because of this incident.

In the circle, especially in the work of dealing with people, word of mouth is the key, and the most important method is to prevent the slightest and be cautious.

And today Cao Wu took the initiative to mention this matter, it can be seen that he does treat Xiao Guo as his own, and he also helps him consider problems from his position.

"Very good. Cao Wu smiled: "I'll go back and say to Mr. Zhang." ”

"Thank you, Brother Cao. Xiao Guo said gratefully.

"Saying this, I'm out of sight!"

Xiao Luo and Batu were fighting live, Cao Wu smiled and asked, "Luo'er, do you want to bring an artist?"

Xiao Luotou didn't reply: "Come on, I'm not that material, I can't talk about those round-the-turn words with those leaders, so it's good." ”

Batu was furious and threw the handle over: "No point!"

Xiao Luo was angry: "If you lose, you will be anxious, it's really tasteless!"

Xiao Guo watched them play, and his smile was a little complicated.

Xiao Luo is different from him, Ya is a rich second generation, he is not short of money to spend at all, and he purely enters the circle to play. He entered the company two months later than Xiao Guo, but his girlfriends have changed seven or eight, if Niu Li hadn't beaten him, he would have been able to hook up with all the girls in the company.

Cao Wu looked at him, got up and called him: "Let's go, bask in the sun." ”

The water in the outdoor pool is changed every day, and in the morning the cleaner just cleaned the pool and put in a pool of fresh water.

Cao Wu didn't bother to swim, but he just wore a pair of big pants and took a cold drink on his back to bask in the sun.

Xiao Guo sat on the recliner next to him and listened to him.

"You kid, you have a lot of thoughts, and sometimes it's not a bad thing. Cao Wu wore sunglasses, raised his hand to pill under his head, and said casually: "You want to be an agent, it's a good thing to be active." People's hearts are separated from the belly, and the heart of defense is indispensable, and some things still have to be told to you in advance. ”

This is to teach him experience, Xiao Guo nodded seriously.

"Everyone has a different family background, educational environment, way of thinking, and different working methods, but many things are common. Cao Wu said lazily: "Xiao Luo is different from you, he is not a pure worker, he is not suitable to be an agent, so we never asked him, and he never mentioned it." But you are suitable, people go to high places, you don't need to feel guilty about this or anything, there's no need. ”

"Sister Yuan has started to lead artists, you should have talked to her, I heard that the girl under her is not too obedient, you know?"

Xiao Guo nodded.

"If it were you, what would you do?" Cao Wu asked.

Xiao Guo thought for a while and said, "I will communicate with her well, find the reason for her troubles, and help her solve the problem." If it's her problem and she insists on not listening, I will manage it according to the company's system. ”

"Not bad. Cao Wu smiled: "But this is not the best solution. ”

Xiao Guo was a little puzzled, and Cao Wu explained: "If you want to be an agent, you have to figure out what an agent does." Both agents and entertainers are part of the company, but the two are different. The responsibility of the agent is to help the artist and the company make money, which is the only purpose. Artists can deviate, but agents can't. ”

"Ninety-nine percent of the world's troubles can be solved with money, and if it can't be solved, it means that the money is not in place. As for the remaining one percent of the troubles, don't bother with it, it's something to consider after solving the problem of money. ”

"The relationship between the agent and the artist is symbiotic, one is prosperous, but one loss may not be lost. ”

"The biggest difference between an agent and a life assistant is that an agent can't be friends with an artist. Even if it is a one-to-one model, there will be a subordinate relationship between the monarch and the minister, which is business, not feelings. ”

"Under a rule, a strong person will get the right to speak, the rule is money, and the strength of strength also comes from money. An agent who can't make money for artists will not have the right to speak anyway. Similarly, an artist who can't make money can't be tough. ”

……

Cao Wu paused, looked back at him, and sat up.

Taking a sip of the cold drink, Cao Wu smiled: "These are the things you need to know to enter the industry, but if you want to do better, you need to know other things." ”

"Only by solving the problem of food and clothing can there be pursuit, but it is precisely the pursuit that is the source of progress. ”

"If you want to be at the top of your career as a broker, you need to look beyond what I just said and look at your career from a higher perspective. ”

"In many cases, the business is not so complicated, the intrigue is just a sideshow, and a good cooperation requires real capital from both sides. Your capital is the artists under you. ”

"If you want to get, you have to pay first, humility is a good thing, but humility without strength will only be regarded as forbearance......"

It wasn't until he finished his drink that Cao Wu stopped.

"As soon as I say that, you just listen to it, and if I say something wrong, you have to judge it yourself. Smiling, Cao Wu handed the cup to Xiao Guo and said, "Help me get it in, thank you!"
