Chapter III

Whether it is an agent or a celebrity, at least seventy percent of the things they are busy doing every day are in relationships, two percent are promoting to fans, and the remaining one percent is acting.

It's very painful to be an agent, the basket of celebrities has to be cleaned up, and if you don't clean it up, you will be ridiculed as a pig teammate by netizens, always keep an eye on the public relations team, publicity, public opinion, talk about the salary and change the contract, watch people put dishes, contact producers and investors, inquire about the news and gossip of competitors, find ways to discredit opponents, and cultivate artists under them...... Ever since Xiao Yi followed Lu Zhou, he had deeply understood this.

Of course, the company arranged for him to be Lu Zhou's life assistant, not to say that he would be an assistant for life, the second assistant profession is an agent, the third is to open a brokerage company, and there are various hidden career branches such as producers. When an artist becomes a star, he will occasionally use the artist's resources to bring an assistant, and after the assistant is familiar in the circle, he will be promoted to an agent. Xiao Yi is generally quite optimistic about his future.

* Silk like Xiao Yi, after working for a few days, occasionally have a little unrealistic fantasy, such as becoming a film and television agent, having a few newcomer artists who follow their hard work and resentment when they debut, and when they become popular, they can call the wind and rain, take 80% of the salary, cover the sky with one hand, do anything, drive a famous car, and live in a luxury house...... In a word, the big names have to shake three times, the handsome guys and beauties in the company are like clouds, and Boss Xiao's career prospects with hundreds of millions of assets are obviously very good, but whether to choose Zhang Ziyi or Maggie Cheung, it is obviously not his turn to worry about it now.

Before succeeding, you must first ensure your own survival, Xiao Yi still admires Du Mei when he says it, he can touch Lu Zhou's character, and induce him every time to go in the direction he needs.

"I'm going to Hengdian next week." Du Mei looked through the information in her hand and said casually, "Let's have a meal with Xinran today, her agent called her in the morning." ”

"No, no." Lu Zhou said.

"What? Awkward again? Du Mei said.

"I don't want to go." Lu Zhou leaned on the swivel chair and played PSV, Du Mei put down the information, and looked helpless: "How good it would be for you to come early, just arrange for the two of you to have lunch, and sleep so late, you can only wait until the evening." ”

While speaking, Du Mei glanced at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi was sitting on the sofa, looking at Du Mei with inquiring eyes, Du Mei said: "Xiao Yi, you help me go down and buy a set meal, and I can buy whatever I want." ”

"Don't be spicy." Lu Zhou raised his head from his game console and said to Xiao Yi, "Cut the duck gizzard into thin layers and pour some brine." ”

Xiao Yi hummed, got up and left. After closing the door, Du Mei came over and took away Lu Zhou's game console, Lu Zhou looked impatient and had to sit.

"How is Xiao Yi?" Dume said.

"Okay." Lu Zhou said, "Anyway, it's better than the previous assistant." ”

"Be polite to people." "I'm going to train him to help." ”

"Him?!" Lu Zhou simply heard a big joke and said, "I can't wear a tie, I can't speak clearly in my twenties, like a student who has just graduated, can I be an agent?" ”

"No matter what." "It's good to be a friend, the guy is very down-to-earth." ”

Lu Zhou hummed perfunctorily, and Du Mei smiled at Lu Zhou and said, "I think you like Xiao Yi a lot, after all, this is the only assistant who was asked to be replaced without the next day." ”

"Am I so difficult to get along with? Talk less, do more, and of course don't change people. Lu Zhou said.

Du Mei said: "Cherish a little, it's too difficult to find a serious and down-to-earth boy who is not impetuous." ”

"I know it." Lu Zhou reached out to get the PSV, but Du Mei said: "You know in your heart how much the TV series package price is this time, don't play big names, although you are already a big name, but be humble in front of Director Li, he will love you more." ”

"Alright, alright."

"If you are polite to the newcomers, they will only be flattered and respect you from the bottom of their hearts. After a while, I'll go to the crew to see you. ”

"Tell the truth." Lu Zhou said, "I really don't want to take this drama, it all depends on you and Director Li's face......"

Du Mei said: "The price of 450,000 episodes, it's not for me to say, many people can't receive it now, and the collective shrinkage this year is too great, and Lixing Company has already offered a very high price for you to bring their newcomers." You act seriously, don't look down on people after joining the group, it's hard for me to do it. ”

"Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao." Lu Zhou said impatiently, "Don't give me this kind of play next time." ”

Du Mei glanced at Lu Zhou and took out a stack of materials from the drawer.

"Most of the episodes and scripts are here." "You take the time to take a look. ”

Lu Zhou took the PSV but didn't take the script, hummed, and continued to concentrate on playing the game.

Du Mei: "During the filming and the publicity stage afterward, I am going to give you a scandal hype, and Ning Yaqing's." ”

Lu Zhou: "Oh. ”

Du Mei: "So I still have a meal with Xinran today, she and her agent miss you." ”

Lu Zhou shuddered, and Du Mei said: "Recently, I talked about a movie with Qinghe Culture, the Hollywood special effects team, an investment of 170 million, if you can sign it, I want you to bring a newcomer." ”

Lu Zhou: "How much?" ”

Xiao Yi knocked on the door outside, and Du Mei said, "Come in." ”

After Xiao Yi came in, Du Mei said, "Four million." ”

Xiao Yi: "......"

"That's it?!" Lu Zhou couldn't believe it.

Xiao Yi: ".................."

Du Mei: "You haven't acted in a movie for several years, and the shooting cycle is not long, less than a month, twenty days." ”

Lu Zhou: "The male number one is paid four million? ”

Du Mei: "Male supporting role. ”

Lu Zhou threw away the game console and roared: "Let me play the male supporting role?!" ”

Xiao Yi cast a sympathetic look at Du Mei, but Du Mei said calmly: "Don't you know that the male protagonist of Lu Dao is used to take the plot, and the male supporting actor is used for love?" ”

Lu Zhou took a deep breath, as if he wanted to get angry, but he couldn't find a catharsis, but Du Mei said: "Let's eat first, this hasn't been decided yet, the director of Qinghe production is blowing it all over the sky, and I have to wait until I get the script to ask for a price increase." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Zhou finished the meal in two bites, and the whole person was full of popularity, and Du Mei put some flowers on Lu Zhou - all of them were the previous works of the team of the TV series he was about to star. Xiao Yi looked at it admiringly for a long time, and Du Mei said again: "Lin Yao will go with you on Monday, you don't have to worry about other things...... Xiao Yi? ”

"Ah, yes!" Xiao Yi immediately got up.

"He doesn't have to go." Lu Zhou's face darkened, flipped over as if he had a grudge against the script, and said without raising his head: "Just let Lin Yao send me a few more assistants to accompany me." ”

Xiao Yi felt the malice of being disgusted from head to toe, and Du Mei said, "Let's go and learn something." You take good care of Lu Zhou, if you don't understand anything, call me at any time, Xiao Yi, do you remember to remind Lu Zhou to read the script more this week. ”

"It's good." Xiao Yi nodded.

In the afternoon of the same day, Du Mei told some things again, most of them were to treat people and things, Lu Zhou didn't say a word, and left with Xiao Yi.

Today, Xiao Yi drove Lu Zhou's car, and Du Mei was sure that Lu Zhou didn't want to see Zhang Xinran, hinting to Xiao Yi that no matter what Lu Zhou said, he must go to the appointment today.

At half past five in the evening, the car was jammed like a snail crawling, the sky outside was yellow-gray, Xiao Yi knew that Lu Zhou must have been stepped on by the tail, he was not in a very good mood, he was disgusted, and he was also a little depressed, he wanted to resolve this embarrassing contradiction, thought about it, and finally said: "Do you want to brush Taobao when you go to the crew?" ”

"There is no signal to go out of the mountainous area, Taobao with a brush!" Lu Zhou roared at him.

Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi thought to himself, isn't this to make you happier! Aren't you the emperor of Taobao! Nima! It's not for the signature, who follows you to bow down and do small, ahh!!hh

"If you don't have to go out on location, you can brush it." Xiao Yi said, "Or bring something over for entertainment?" How about reading a book? ”

Lu Zhou said impatiently: "If you don't go out on location, the director wants to talk about the play, and he can't go anywhere!" Can't do anything! Mobile phones are not allowed to be swiped! I'm in that prison, and you'll have to stand on the sidelines, and you'll know what to do when you go! Don't come back crying! ”

It's not military training, it's not so terrifying-Xiao Yi thought to himself, he couldn't help but be a little flattered, didn't let him follow into the group, was it the reason why he wanted to make himself easier? Lu Zhou seems to be quite good to himself.

"Let's go." After getting out of the car, Lu Zhou looked at Xiao Yi inexplicably.

"You...... Brother Zhou, are you having dinner with Sister Xinran? Xiao Yi stood next to the car and said, "Do you need me to follow?" ”

Lu Zhou didn't say a word, and left impatiently, Xiao Yi hurriedly followed, and entered the restaurant, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and made a phone call, the environment here is very elegant, and there are a man and a woman sitting behind the separated dining table on the second floor.

"Gladly." Lu Zhou smiled.

Xiao Yi: "......"

"I'm sorry it's late." Lu Zhou said.

Zhang Xinran sat lazily on the seat and swiped his mobile phone, there was a fat man sitting next to him, the fat man clapped his hands, innocent and cute: "Oh, I'm finally waiting for you, this is ......"

"My assistant." Lu Zhou said.

"My name is Xiao Yi." Xiao Yi immediately introduced himself.

"Come on, come on, let's get to know each other." The fat man said softly, "Xinran, you guys talk slowly, OK?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xinran didn't look at Lu Zhou, and rolled his eyes.

"Why did you come at this time?" Zhang Xinran said.

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Traffic jam." ”

Zhang Xinran's face was obviously not very good, and Lu Zhou whispered, "Have you ordered the food?" What do you want to eat? ”

"Whatever." Zhang Xinran said, "I just finished filming the commercial today, I'm tired to death, and I want to go back to take a shower and sleep as soon as possible." Eat whatever you want. ”

"How?" Lu Zhou flipped through the menu and smiled at Zhang Xinran, "Who bullied me?" ”

"Noβ€”" Zhang Xinran said with a bored expression, "hurry up and order food." ”

Xiao Yi and Zhang Xinran's agent sat at another table, and the agent was all called, and his whole body was shaking when he laughed.

"Our family is happy......"

"It's beautiful." Xiao Yi said admiringly, "It's exactly the same as in the movie!" ”

Quan said: "Oh, it's not in peak state now, let me tell you, if she rests well, the skin on her face is really blown, and she can't see it without makeup at all!" It's all recent, ...... Ouch, the itinerary is too full, and I stay up late every day...... Where's your boat? What do you think? ”

He ...... We're going to Hengdian next week. Xiao Yide Du Mei reminded more than once that when he saw Zhang Xinran's agent, he must not be too surprised, and the wording and information revealed must be well measured. It's always not wrong to praise each other's artists for being beautiful, Teacher Qi is amazing, etc.

The complete orchid finger stirred with the small spoon of the milk tea cup, elegantly stilted Erlang's legs, and said: "I know that the play, the iron horse Binghe fell into a dream, and said that Liao Taizu's, the costume drama, of course, is tall~ Our family Xinran originally wanted to take it, but temporarily took the "Ou Yi", so I had to push it." ”

"yes." Xiao Yi said, "Mr. Du also said that acting in movies is better, and Sister Xinran's box office will definitely explode this year." ”

"Hey." Complete and said, "Sometimes it's hard to say, like the last time, who, who, and who, don't you just pounce, you can't rely on selling corruption and hype, but fortunately, our family is happy to carry the box office ......."

The hundreds of millions of alpacas that Xiao Yi complained about in his heart ran thousands of miles on the prairie, and said completely and kindly: "Xiao Xiao is very handsome, are you interested in developing in the entertainment industry?" ”

Xiao Yi was shocked, is this a joke? It should be talking about fun, Xiao Yi immediately smiled and said: "My male god is Brother Zhou, and I am very satisfied to be able to follow him." And I only have one face, and I can't have a temperament or anything. ”

Xiao Yi really thinks so from the bottom of his heart, if you talk about her appearance, although Zhang Xinran is very beautiful, her beauty and folk beauty are completely different things, just like Lu Zhou doesn't do anything, just simply sits there, and the kind of aura and taste he is handsome will make people feel like a star.

When Xiao Yi used to do music creation, he also had a general understanding of the operation of entertainment companies packaging singers, and this kind of temperament should be congenitally unable to form, through acquired physical training, and the effect of being sought after.

"The acting temperament can be trained and packaged the day after tomorrow." Quan shook his head and said, "You have a good voice, you can be a singer, have you watched the show that is being on the air recently?" ”

"See who cries miserably?" Xiao Yi's heart moved and asked.

"That's right." Quan said, "It's just to see who cries miserably, and you can get on it if you give money, of course, if your own conditions are not good, you still can't get by." ”

Saying that, he threw a wink at Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi instantly felt a chill behind him.

On the next table, Lu Zhou simply changed, gentle to the point that Xiao Yi didn't know him at all, amiable, like a spring breeze, wearing a suit, his hair was very short and spiritual, his eyes were resolute, his hands were big and his fingers were good-looking, when he was holding a cup to drink water, he was wearing a famous watch on his clean wrist, just like in an idol drama, it was heartbreaking to see.

Lu Zhou's words were obviously much more than usual, gentle and polite, Zhang Xinran just ate a little and leaned lazily on the seat, looking at his phone with ignorance.

"The end of the world is eight of you again." Zhang Xinran said, "Your fans are really murderous, stepping on other people's positions all day long." ”

"I can't help it, one powder top ten black, hey." Lu Zhou said regretfully, "I often have a headache for them, so I didn't say anything about you." ”

"I can only endure it." Zhang Xinran said indifferently, "How dare the concubines steal the limelight with their male gods?" ”

Lu Zhou: "......"

After a while, Lu Zhou said again: "Xinran, when I go to Hengdian, will you come to visit the class?" ”

Zhang Xinran didn't smile, didn't look at Lu Zhou, and said, "Don't be a chicken, it depends on the situation." ”

Lu Zhou was obviously about to run out of patience, and endured it all in one go. Looking at his watch, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "It's not too early, I'll send you home, right?" ”

Zhang Xinran seemed to have finally completed the task, and got up with a long breath, Lu Zhou took the coat and served Zhang Xinran to put it on, Zhang Xinran was wrapped in fur, and when he entered the garage, he answered the phone and said, "Honey, I have to go first, Director Huang asked me to talk about something." ”

"What should I do if you're gone!" Zhang Xinran said.

"I'll send you back." Lu Zhou said, "Hey, drive." ”

Zhang Xinran reluctantly got into Lu Zhou's car, a scream came from the garage, Xiao Yi was frightened when he boarded, and when he thought of a homicide, Lu Zhou said: "Hurry up, drive away!" Let's go! What are you waiting for! You're mentally retarded! (Growls)"

"What are you doing murderously!" Zhang Xinran said, "Who is the murderer for!" ”

"No, no." Lu Zhou inadvertently revealed his true colors, immediately reined in, resumed friendly mode, and said happily to Zhang, "We are good buddies...... This and this ......"

"My name is Xiao Yi!" Xiao Yi immediately said.

Lu Zhou: "Aha, yes, he has been with Mr. Du for many years." ”

"yes, yes." Xiao Yi explained, "We often quarrel like this, right, idiot Brother Zhou Hahaha." ”

Lu Zhou's face sank, and instantly changed into a smiling face, and he smiled.

"Let's go." Lu Zhou quipped, "It's not good for fans to catch up later." ”

"Lu Zhou, Lu Zhouβ€”β€”!"

"Lu Zhou, β€”β€”!"

The screams chased after him, Xiao Yi drove away at speed, the two girls held a sign, obviously squatting in the garage for a long time, shaking the sign and shouting into the car, Xiao Yi turned his head and saw them, he couldn't see his face, only saw the sign, on which was Lu Zhou's cute cartoon image.

Xiao Yi suddenly felt a very sad feeling.

Zhang Xinran didn't speak all the way, Xiao Yi used the GPS map to send her home and drove into her garage, Zhang Xinran's home is more luxurious than Lu Zhou's house, a three-story detached house, with a swimming pool outside.

"Come in and have a drink." Zhang Xinran said.

The garage is fully enclosed, Xiao Yi can't get out of the car, so he followed into Zhang Xinran's house, he stood in the open kitchen, didn't dare to go to the living room, the maid poured him a glass of water, Xiao Yi called all the way and said home, Lu Zhou's cordial conversation and Zhang Xinran's perfunctory voice came from the living room.

"Mr. Du said that he had communicated with Mr. Wang." Lu Zhou said, "There will be some small scandals when the time comes, don't you mind, I'll wait for you to visit the class." ”

Zhang Xinran's dog began to bark at Lu Zhou, grinning his teeth, obviously hating him very much.

"Yo, Collar." Lu Zhou touched its head with a smile and said, "How are you doing lately?" ”

Zhang Xinran went to get the wine, and Lu Zhou hugged Zhang Xinran from behind and said, "Baby, do you miss me?" ”

"What are you doing!" Zhang Xinran said impatiently, "Go away, go away!" ”

Lu Zhou hugged her and said, "Why is your temper so big?!" ”

The Chihuahua jumped from the sofa to the coffee table and barked at Lu Zhou, even Xiao Yi couldn't stand it anymore, he beckoned to the Chihuahua, wanting to tease it, but the Chihuahua didn't bird Xiao Yi at all.

Zhang Xinran pushed Lu Zhou away and said, "What do you want to do?" Finished hugging? There's no media here, who are you showing it to! Lou Fa Cai! ”

Xiao Yi almost squirted out the water, Lu Zhou said, "Don't do this, I also took time out of my busy schedule to accompany you......"

"You'd better not come-" Zhang Xinran said, "I've been in love with you for so long, my mother is going to be annoyed by you, why don't you go to your group of harem fans!" ”

"You're doing this to me!" Lu Zhou said, "What fans say and do, do you want me to pay?" They spray you and step on you at the end of the world, Mr. Du said it, she went to ask for a public relations ......"

Zhang Xinran said: "I'm so busy, who has time to care what the fans say!" Tell me what you've done in love! Did you have enough when you fought for propaganda? What do you say in media interviews?! Who is going to give you a baby and do the housework! Slander me for not using money, right? Are you a man or not! ”

"Youβ€”" Lu Zhou said.

"Wang β€”β€”!" The Chihuahua roared and pounced, and Lu Zhou roared: "Little collar! Don't make a fuss! ”

"I can't bear that you have a lower limitβ€”ahhh Lu Zhou was just about to warn Zhang Xinran, when a wild scream broke out in an instant, and Zhang Xinran screamed: "You let it go!" ”

Lu Zhou roared angrily: "It bites me!" Damn it! Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't dare to do it! ”

"Who do you think you?" Zhang Xinran said, "Premature ejaculation! Impotence monster! Do you fans know that you are impotent! Ha? ”

Xiao Yi: ".............................."

Xiao Yi immediately ran over and hugged the Chihuahua, the Chihuahua was all kinds of irritable, and Zhang Xinran roared: "You get out of the road for me!" ”

"You!" Lu Zhou made a start, but he offended Zhang Xinran anyway, so he simply stopped pretending, and roared angrily, "Damn, Lao Tzu...... Father...... Cheap! "Lao Tzu is with you to give you face! Look at your alien face with a whole stick, can't you say anything after being beaten so much?! Less senile sons! ”

Xiao Yi: ".............................."

Lu Zhou wanted to drop something, but Zhang Xinran said, "You fall!" 400,000 one! ”

Lu Zhou put the crystal horse back, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't you want to live it?" ”

Zhang Xinran said: "Who wants to live with you!" You ask your assistant if he can stand you? ”

"Don't fucking look for me again!" Lu Zhou roared angrily, "It's exploded!" ”

"I didn't want to look for you for a long time, but you said it yourself." Zhang Xinran said, "It's not to look at your Mr. Du's face, who is verbose with you!" ”

Lu Zhou walked to the door, stopped, turned around and said viciously: "It's good, it's good, Zhang Xinran, don't regret it." ”

Zhang Xinran: "Get out!" ”

When Xiao Yi was driving, he felt that he had never encountered anything more exciting than this in his life, and the two words of Zhang Xinran scolding Lu Zhou were stacked together, which was even more shocking to him than the national football team winning the World Cup Feng Xiaogang winning the Oscar. It even made him forget that not lifting and second shooting are two theoretically incompatible phenomena, for example, if a person does not lift it, he will not shoot, let alone shoot in seconds, and if he shoots in seconds, it cannot be called not lifting - unless he sometimes does not lift and sometimes shoots in seconds...... But at the same time, there are very few men who have this kind of ...... Well, it doesn't matter.

Lu Zhou's face couldn't be darker, and when he got home, Lu Zhou kicked the coffee table hard, and the sparse things fell all over the ground.
