Chapter 30: The Proud

The film buyer's delegation is actually another form of publicly-funded tour group with a clever name. The members of the pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info are mostly some old leaders who are about to retire and staff members who have some connections in the TV station. Through the contractual relationship with Xia Yi, the main reception of Xia Yi Company in Hengdian was to inspect the filming of "Dream Three", and after coping with the work task, most people were not much interested in watching the actors' performances over and over again on the boring set, so they were more satisfied with the filming of "Dream Three" that afternoon, and after feeling that they could make a difference to the above, they left Hengdian, and the remaining two or three days went to the nearby tourist attractions in Hangzhou.

Gu Lian later looked through all the scripts of the crew that day, and found that in addition to Liu Ying and Chenxing's rivalry, there were other scripts, all of which were Liu Ying's solo performances. Director Xu said frankly that if Chenxing really can't cooperate with Liu Ying, they will have another alternate plan, that is, to shoot a one-man show that shows Liu Ying's inner drama. The script was also improvised by the screenwriter who worked overtime the night before. Except for Liu Ying and the director, the other cast and crew didn't have time to get it. Sister S is worthy of being a veteran, and there is always room for doing things. In case Chenxing's chess piece doesn't work, there is another move to settle for the next best move.

Xia Yi Company also has a drama that cooperates with other TV stations to start filming. Sister S clearly asked Gu Lian to go to the two sets more these days, and the crew would contact Sister S directly through Gu Lian if there was anything, and some big and small things could even be decided directly by her. Sister S also equipped Gu Lian with a formal one-room office.

Gu Lian has become the spokesperson of Sister S in the crew, and she can ask about all aspects of the crew's affairs. Director Xu: They also have more and more respect for Gu Lian. Gu Lian felt that she had become Sister S's special assistant, and she didn't look like a director of brokerage at all.

It's no wonder that the brokerage business itself is Xia Yi's weakness, there are basically no agents who have become a climate, only a few brokerage assistants, which are not enough, and they are all allocated to Li Chunnian and the artists that other companies pay more attention to. And Liu Ying chose a little cousin of her relatives as an assistant early, and she didn't need anyone from the company at all.

Gu Lian, Xia Yi's new brokerage director, can be said to be a bare-bones commander. Xia Yi Company originally did not have the position of brokerage director. Sister S's secretary Xiao Lin simply followed Gu Lian in and out, and in essence, he had become Gu Lian's assistant. Xiao Lin did not have the consciousness of being robbed of work by Gu Lian, but was very happy, she said that she often didn't know how to do the work that Sister S gave her before, and she was always trained by Sister S, if she wasn't a relative of Sister S, she would have been fired long ago. Now that Gu Lian is here, she just needs to follow Gu Lian for anything, which is much easier than before. She also complained that Sister S had a young male assistant next to her, named Charlie Mu, who often followed Sister S on business trips, that was a real secretary, she was just a hard worker, and Sister S gave any benefits to the male assistant, and basically couldn't take her turn.

"But I don't think I've seen this person?" Gu Lian questioned.

"It was a funeral at his family, and he took a leave of absence to Sister S for the past two weeks, and he should be back in a few days." Xiao Lin counted with his fingers and admonished her, "That guy is very treacherous, you have to be careful." ”

It's also quite strange to say, after Sister S coped with the inspection group, she said that she was going to Hong Kong on a business trip and had important things, but she didn't say anything important, so that Gu Lian could watch and do something, and try to disturb her as little as possible. In addition to major financial matters, she can be fully responsible for the big and small affairs of the crew, and Sister S has taken care of the crew and the company, and they will all cooperate with Gu Lian's work. Probably because Gu Lian's performance during this period of time made her more satisfied, and she felt that she could rest assured that she could hand over the work at hand to Gu Lian. At the same time, Sister S is in a hurry to go on a business trip, and there is no other more capable person in the company who can take over this work except Gu Lian. Originally, Gu Lian felt that her time in the company was short after all, and it had only been a few days since she came, and Sister S felt inappropriate to hand over many decisions equal to the company's affairs to herself, but Sister S only reassured her, although the time was short, she had absolute confidence in her ability, and believed that she could handle it well, and Xiao Lin would also help her, and it was not impossible to contact herself when there was an emergency.

"Hmph, let Charlie Mu go with me again, and go directly to Hong Kong to meet Sister S after the holiday, I have never had this good luck." Xiao Lin complained to Gu Lian in private.

Before leaving, Sister S had another separate conversation with Gu Lian, roughly asking Gu Lian to preside over routine affairs during her absence, and she would contact her only when she had something important. Finally, he also emphasized that Chenxing's joining Xia Yi is of great benefit to the company, Xia Yi is very interested in signing Chenxing, so that Gu Lian can run more on the set and have time to contact Chenxing more, "Be sure to take Chenxing down." ”

Gu Lian didn't want to boast about Haikou, so to tell the truth, "I think it's difficult." Chenxing used to sign a contract with Dongshi Company, and he was frozen by the company if he had a slight discord with the company, which directly led to an overall decline in his acting career. After the contract with Dongshi expired, although some well-developed brokerage and entertainment companies were interested in him, he never refused to sign a contract, preferring to be self-employed. "What's more, there is Wei Kexin, a big burden, who constantly makes trouble from it and repeatedly misses his development opportunities. Gu Lian thought in her heart, but she just thought about it, thinking that the above reasons were enough for Sister S to understand the reason why Chenxing refused to sign the contract, and she didn't plan to say more about Wei Kexin's more private topics involving Chenxing.

"In this year, if an artist wants to become famous, how can he not sign a company, even if he does not sign a company, he must sign a capable agent, at least at your level." Sister S drew her eyebrows while looking in the mirror, and after talking to Gu Lian, she was going to catch a plane directly, and the time seemed to be really urgent for her at this time, "Of course, signing a contract may not be popular, but if you don't sign a contract, you will definitely not be popular." You've got to make him understand that. I don't believe that there are still artists who can endure loneliness and don't want to be popular these days.

Gu Lian smiled slightly bitterly, "He debuted at the age of 19, I think he understood this truth much earlier than me." But he just didn't want to sign, as far as I know, there was once a good brokerage company in Beijing to find him, and the conditions were very generous, and he could sign a contract and negotiate year after year. But he still didn't agree. Even if we could offer more generous terms than that company, I don't think he would be tempted. There is a majority in any circle, and there are also outliers. The star is one of these outliers. We didn't understand what he was doing, but he was willing, and no one could force him. ”

Sister S groaned for a moment, feeling pity, "It's really a little weird." Then do you inquire clearly about the conditions of the Beijing company, what is the company? ”

Gu Lian deliberately didn't point out the name of the company because she didn't want to inadvertently hit Sister S, since Sister S asked, she also said directly, "Xingcan Culture Communication Co., Ltd., if it wasn't for Huayue's intention to sign Tianjiao, I also thought about taking Tianjiao to sign Xingcan before, and I also know some of their executives, like these news are not confidential, and we will talk about some between chats." ”

Xingcan is a powerful film and television company, the development direction is mainly high-quality TV dramas, and has done many TV series with good market and word-of-mouth responses, and is a well-known brand in the TV drama market, and has also launched several TV stars with ratings appeal. In short, unlike Xia Yi, a private film and television company that barely gained a foothold on an unorthodox costume idol drama, and basically relied on boasting about it, Xingcan is an unshakable giant in the TV industry, and it is really a private film and television organization with the strength of the top three TV production institutions in the country, and even Huayue is difficult to win its edge in terms of TV production level.

Although Huayue is also a private organization, it has a comprehensive entertainment business direction, including film and television and even program production, and its distribution ability is invincible in the same industry.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard Xingcan's name, Sister S's expression changed slightly, and her momentum weakened. She paused her thrush hand and looked at Gu Lian, "That's it." So,......" Sister S is unwilling to give up easily, "Then you can inquire and do more work, perhaps, that Chenxing is not a person who is easy to be impressed by other things." Don't you say that he is an outlier, see what special needs he has, other companies can't meet him, can we meet him? I think he gets along well with you, so you can contact him more when you have time, enhance your relationship, find out his weaknesses, and try your best. Maybe even Sister S felt that her tone was a little more difficult, so she added and said softly, "If you really try your best, you can't get him to agree to sign the contract, and I won't blame you." I mean, it's man-made, and if we do our best, maybe things will turn around. ”

"I understand." Gu Lian bowed, "I'll do my best." Although through initial contact, I think he is indeed a person who can endure loneliness. "Not only can he endure loneliness, but he is also very kind, knowing that he has been sold, he can count the money for others with peace of mind. Gu Lian complained a lot about Chenxing in his heart.

However, he is also a very proud person.

"Then please." Sister S closed the makeup box and smiled encouraging and reassuring at Gu Lian.

**************************

As soon as Sister S left, the air pressure in the company felt a lot of decompression. Xiao Lin said that in the past, Sister S basically had to go to Hong Kong every year for a long business trip, and no one knew what she was going to do. But everyone guesses that she got together with her predecessor who raised a rich man. In the past, the daily affairs of the company were the responsibility of the financial director Lao Cheng, and the experienced retired accountant that Sister S found from her hometown was loyal to Sister S, but she could only be responsible for finances, and she couldn't understand other affairs. It really can't be postponed, and if no one in the company can take responsibility, as long as it is not related to the company's collapse, Sister S will not come back. Because of this, Xia Yi did miss some good opportunities. I remember that last year, there was a big investor who wanted to take a stake in Xia Yi, but no one in the company negotiated with him, or the ability made the investor distrustful, and he didn't even drag the investor and wait for Sister S to come back. They didn't even notice them, so they just left. When Sister S comes back, we will talk about it, others have already invested in another company whose conditions are not as good as Xia Yi, but that company quickly developed and kept up, and there was a faint trend of surpassing Xia Yi.

"With Sister Gu's ability, you will definitely be fine." Xiao Lin ended with a flattery of Gu Lian.

As everyone knows, the more Xiao Lin speaks, the more Gu Lian feels bad in his heart.

Today is the first day after Sister S left, and Gu Lian went to the company a little earlier than usual to have a look. Xiao Lin was on the side, and he really thought he was Gu Lian's exclusive assistant. During this time, the company's main thing is to follow up with several crews, maintain appropriate contact with the buyer, and continue to improve the terms with other people who have the intention of buying the film in accordance with the established agreement. Xia Yi Company also has a crew that shoots in film and television bases in other provinces and cities, and often communicates with the person in charge of the crew.

None of these things are difficult to do. Gu Lian handled and planned the work items in an orderly manner, and the work he had to do today was largely completed. There are also some things that need to wait for feedback from the other party before they can be processed.

The main work is completed, some details are done, and when other employees can't make up their minds, they should also consult Gu Lian's opinion. Walking to the large office of Xia Yi's company, which has dozens of cubicles, Gu Lian was stopped. At this time, some clerks in the company are immersed in their work, and some personnel have gone to the field. The office was empty, and there weren't many people.

"Sister Gu." Xiao Wang, a young girl from the Enterprise Publicity Department, also learned from Xiaolin to directly call Gu Lian "Sister Gu", in fact, they are not the only ones, and now the employees in the company who are one or two years older than Gu Lian also call Gu Lian "Sister", even if Gu Lian says that he calls him by his name, they all have some concerns. "Do you think I'll send a few photos, or maybe I'll send them all?"

Gu Lian walked to Xiao Wang's desk and understood at a glance. Xiao Wang is responsible for distributing news releases related to Xia Yi's crew, one article a day, and providing drafts to the entertainment editors of major portals through email. Xiao Wang's email address has a lot of website editors' mailboxes, and any news just needs to be sent in a group. The manuscript that Xiao Wang wants to send today is related to yesterday's Chen Xingjin group and Liu Ying's play, and the focus of publicity is on Xia Yi's artists according to tradition, titled "Liu Ying splits legs with the king of the demon world, and does not dump Li Chunnian." ”

Gu Lian blinked expressionlessly, it was really a vulgar and mediocre draft.
