Chapter 105: Brokers
(Thanks to the blue vastness, Raywang, brilliant today, primordial desire, and the reward of the 7 original sins, the lotus has been renewed again!!! )
Hearing the laughter, Yoshiya also realized that something was wrong. When he raised his head, he saw Cui Zhengyuan looking at him with black lines on his head, scratching his bald head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Chang, it's you, it's you who makes me nervous."
Cui Zhengyuan shook his head helplessly, "I see that you are all about to get into a magic barrier, is it necessary to be so nervous?"
Gary on the side tried to squeeze out a smile, "I was nervous, but the boss is here, so I'm not nervous."
It's a pity that what he said was inversely proportional to his face. Cui Zhengyuan secretly slandered himself, this guy is really a peaceful and cold man, and he is not suitable for laughing at all. He said, "Come on, look at your bear-like appearance, you're almost wetting your pants, and you're still hard-mouthed."
Hearing this, Ji was immediately unconvinced, stared at his eyes like copper bells, and quibbled angrily, "What do you say, look at how can such a powerful person as us be frightened by a mere stage"?
Cui Zhengyuan didn't save him a little face, "What is your hard mouth, look at your virtue, your legs and stomach have been trembling, and you still say that you are not nervous"?
Ji's face is thick enough, and he is not a little embarrassed to be recognized, rubbing his bald head, and he smiled: "How can you not be nervous, after all, it is the first time to go on stage." What if I don't behave well"?
Patting him on the shoulder, Cui Zhengyuan said with relief: "It's useless for you to be nervous, you have to go through this experience horizontally and vertically." It's better to let go of your burden and show your strength. Good or bad, after today, you will officially become an artist. Don't leave regrets about your debut stage, and don't care about the reaction of the audience below. As you once said to me, since you want to make your own music, then you have to endure loneliness and blame."
babbled a lot, and I don't know how much the two listened to. Anyway, he tried his best, and the newcomer in the company debuted, and he, the boss, was able to come to the scene to cheer for him, which was already considered benevolent and righteous.
For most of the time after that, it was Cui Zhengyuan who was talking, and the two were listening.
It can be clearly seen that Ji and Gary are not good at communicating and communicating with their superiors. Ji is okay, he can occasionally say some nonsensical words, and he also answers Cui Zhengyuan's questions. Gary was a little silent, and ducked aside. His eyes wandered, and his mind was clearly not on the conversation.
When encountering such a subordinate, Cui Zhengyuan was also a little helpless.
Don't think that only subordinates are nervous when they meet their superiors, in fact, bosses are also very uncomfortable when they meet their subordinates. It's better to meet some people who are lively and can speak well, but the most afraid is like Leessang, like a stuffy gourd, who can't respond to one sentence in three sentences, so that all your desire to speak is gone.
However, many of these people are very talented and have a high status in their professional fields. Leaders who truly know how to use them must also endure this sin.
For such a person, Cui Zhengyuan had no choice but to endure it. Fortunately, this torment ended soon, and Liu Zaishi walked in with a smile.
is worthy of a professional comedy artist and MC, and as soon as you get here, the atmosphere is immediately different.
Facing Liu Jae-seok, Ji and Gary were much more relaxed. Although he is also a senior executive of the company, he is more famous for his status as an artist. Facing seniors in the same profession is much more comfortable than facing Cui Zhengyuan, a boss who is separated by several levels.
People can be angry to death than people, Cui Zhengyuan said a lot of bitter things before, but he didn't see any effect. As a result, after Liu Zaishi came, he let the two chicks laugh in a few words, and completely forgot that it was the debut stage for a while.
Looking at Liu Zaishi's non-stop mouth, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to be able to speak, and his lips had to be prominent.
Here Liu Jae-seok and Leessang were chatting happily, and Cui Zhengyuan called their agent over.
Leessang's agent is also a newcomer, who has been Kim Jong Kook's agent assistant for two years, and it is the first time that he has taken charge alone.
The agent is not just a good logistical support for the artist, this is just a basic quality. This profession relies heavily on the application of interpersonal relationships, and whether an artist can mix or not depends on the ability of his agent in many cases.
This agent is only 26 years old, and just two years after graduating from Dongguk University, he became Kim Jong Kook's assistant.
This time, Leessang debuted, originally according to Cui Zhengyuan's intention, to arrange an experienced old man to come.
However, people in the broker industry generally have a very poisonous vision. Ji and Gary are talented, but other than that, they have no merit. The entertainment industry is another eyeball, without a good skin, it is even more difficult to get ahead in this circle.
Therefore, for Cui Zhengyuan's belonging, those veteran agents are prevaricating in every possible way, unwilling to accept these two hot potatoes.
Don't look at the A.P company, Cui Zhengyuan is full of words and says. But he doesn't have much to do about these agents who have been in the entertainment industry for many years.
Any agent who has been in this circle for a while has more or less some connections. There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here. Not only is haode's high-quality artist resources scarce, but haode's experienced agents are also not many, and each of these people is treated as a treasure by each company, how can it be easy for people.
After weighing it, Cui Zhengyuan put this young man named Xu Zhiye in this position.
Leessang is a purely musical group that focuses solely on music production and music performances, and has a relatively small itinerary. With an agent and three assistants, it's enough to handle everything.
Although Xu Zhiye is young, he is also ambitious. Leessang's future, although not favored by many seniors, is a very good opportunity for him.
worked as an assistant next to Kim Jong Kook, and there was an agent with the same siblings as Kim Jong Gyeong's country on it. No matter how hard he tries, he doesn't want to get ahead. This made him, who was determined to make a difference, unable to accept it at all.
Leessang, on the other hand, is different, although the combination is not favored and is widely considered to have no future.
But where there are no absolutes, in this bizarre circle, there are no good external conditions, and there are not a few who are also popular. Not to mention, JYP's boss Park Jin-young is not a handsome guy, he is not still dominant, and now he has become the owner of a well-known brokerage company.
Leessang may not be able to soar into the sky as soon as he debuts, but he has outstanding strength and heritage. After years of accumulation, this quantitative change is bound to evolve into a qualitative change.
And what he Xu Zhiye has to do is to silently guard this combination, help them eliminate all difficulties, and quietly wait for the day when it shows its majesty.
So when he was notified, he was Leessang's agent. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took office. Get rid of the shadow of others and take charge of yourself. Only in this way can his abilities be fully utilized.
The situation after that made Xu Zhiye feel lucky.
When Leessang recorded the album, all the songs were written by Ji and Gray independently. But during this period, Cui Changchang came to their recording studio every once in a while, but he had a little free time.
What does this mean? It shows that these two men with ordinary appearances have an unusual status in the eyes of the boss.
With strength, the attention of the boss, and the full support of the company, Leessang may encounter setbacks, but in the end it will definitely be successful.
After confirming this fact, Xu Zhiye was full of energy, exerted 200% enthusiasm, and took care of Leessang's affairs in an orderly manner, striving to make Ji and Gray have no worries and prepare for their debut.
Ji and Gary are also very happy with this agent. Low-key, serious, responsible, no matter how big or small. Willing to use his brains, willing to put down his body and go to the camp. Apart from inexperience, it can be said that there are no flaws.
Calling Xu Zhiye over, Cui Zhengyuan asked in a low voice, "Did you arrange for the two of them to visit their seniors, and did they send the CD?"
It is a consistent tradition in the music industry for debutants to visit their seniors, present their debut works, and introduce themselves.
No newcomer has ever dared to violate this conventional rule, otherwise he will be given a reputation as disrespectful to his predecessors, and he will not want to mix in this circle in the future. Although A.P Company can provide a good display platform for its artists, how to expand their social circle requires artists to cross the sea and show their abilities.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiye has been by Kim Jong Kook's side for two years, and he has already seen countless newcomers come to visit, so he has long been concerned about this issue. "Executive, don't worry, we all went to visit the seniors in today's show one by one."
Obviously, Cui Zhengyuan is more concerned about the next question, "Is there anyone who is difficult for you?" The two of them didn't say anything wrong, right?"
Xu Zhiye smiled bitterly, "You know this general manager, some seniors don't have a very good temper. But there was nothing rude about us, and we did exactly what the younger generations were courtesy."
Cui Zhengyuan nodded noncommittally and didn't say anything more. There is no love for no reason on this shijie, and of course there is no hate for no reason. Obviously, Ji and Gary were being troubled just now. You don't have to think about it to know that the person who does this is someone who has nothing to do with A.P. It is the duty of the younger generations to abide by etiquette, but the domineering of the seniors is also embarrassing.
However, Cui Zhengyuan didn't want to pursue anything, since he had entered this circle, some ups and downs still had to be faced by themselves. However, Xu Zhiye has done a good job and needs to be praised. Patting him on the shoulder, Cui Zhengyuan encouraged: "Thank you for your hard work, the two of them are still beginners, you can take care of them more."
Xu Zhiye was not pampered and coquettish, and smiled calmly: "Everyone is from this stage, it will be fine after a while." My job is on them, so naturally I won't make it difficult for them."
Cui Zhengyuan has a great impression of him, young and ambitious, aggressive, knowledgeable, and knows how to advance and retreat, and his future achievements will be extraordinary. At this moment, he already has the idea of focusing on cultivating this new agent, but everything will still be tested by time.
