Chapter 7: Absolute Privacy
A Sir is the top agent of the S company, and he is in charge of more than a dozen artist agents in the company, and everyone has to summarize the performance of the artists in charge of various activities in the past week at the weekly meeting. Last week, the three hot songs in He Qianlan's new album "Ambiguous" were in the top 10 of the major music platform charts, and the sales exceeded 5 million within seven days of release, but even so, it did not achieve the best effect expected by this transformation. The person who brokered Qianlan was Akai, and although he came up with a good report card, he still did not get a commendation from Sir.
"Qianlan's packaging this time, from the stage art, to the modeling, and the style and tune, took a lot of effort from the team. Only 3 hits were produced in 11 songs, who will carry this pot? There's not a little room for improvement?! Akai, you say. â
"Sir, the channels that should be opened in terms of publicity have basically been opened, and the large banner on the homepage of the largest music platform in China has been promoted for 7 days, giving us Qianlan a lot of face......"
"7 days?! I'm embarrassed to say that the big screen that has occupied 7 days only plays 3 hot songs, tsk...... "Ah Sir helped the bangs in front of his forehead, and the colorful hair that was highlighted and dyed scattered from his fingers one by one, Akai didn't dare to speak out again. Sir is usually not a fierce person, except for when he is in a meeting, the majesty and toughness that come from nowhere can be domineering in an instant.
Ah Feng, the agent of the GUN group, rolled his eyes with a smile on the side, and was discovered by Ah Sir.
"The GUN band, last year, the album broke five million in three days, Ah Feng, you tell him how to do it."
Ah Feng said modestly: "After all, there are three people in GUN, and there is only one person in Qianlan, on average, Qianlan is still powerful~"
The agents present at the meeting all knew in their hearts that artists and agents were like the bond of the company, although they had a close relationship with each other, they each had their own interests. How could Ah Feng take out his own set of running GUN and share it on the surface, so he naturally shirked it euphemistically.
The reason why the album of the GUN group sold well last year was that in addition to the promotion of the new album, there was also a very important point - one of the members, Ulysses, and the popular international A-list female singer Madonna had a suspected honeymoon scandal a week before the album was released.
scandal, this tried and tested routine in the entertainment industry can be reopened every time, and there are always audiences who willingly pay for it. But who can have an affair with depends not only on the artist, but also on the strength of the agent. Ulysses, who had an affair with Madonna last year, won international attention for a while, and the album sales tripled as a result, and Ah Feng would never reveal the resources in his hands to anyone, not even Sir.
"Okay~ Don't be modest, in short, Akai, study how to promote your own artists more effectively. Qianlan's album has only been released for a week, and there is still a chance, just waiting for your good news. Also, who wants the new singer Xia Yidong? â
A table of people looked left and right and looked at each other for a long time and no one answered, folk songs are unpopular in pop songs, in case they put in the energy and spent time and couldn't bring out the results, smashed their own signboard in S company, almost no agent is willing to take this risk.
"I'm very optimistic about him, the original folk singer has not been signed by our company before, so I will give it to Ah Bin first." Saying that, Sir glanced at Ah Bin, who was sitting directly opposite, although it is difficult for newcomers to bring, there must always be the first person to stand up and try. Ah Bin had taken He Qianlan before, but after she became popular, the company handed it over to Ah Kai, and he still haunts this matter.
"Ah Bin, if you bring it out this time, it's yours." Sir knew what he was afraid of, and added another sentence so that he could take over Xia Yidong with peace of mind.
"Okay." In this way, Ah Bin reluctantly agreed.
After the meeting ended, the first person Ah Bin looked for was not Xia Yidong, but Qiusheng.
Ah Bin wears a pair of round-framed glasses, looks very gentle, has long and narrow eyes, has a clear lip line, and looks less than thirty years old, looking a little delicate. He asked Qiusheng a lot about Xia Yidong's private affairs, such as the time of life and rest, who he is in contact with on weekdays, whether he has an ambiguous partner or personal girlfriend, what is the family situation, etc. Qiusheng dealt with Ah Bin for the first time, and only selectively told him some small habits in Xia Yidong's weekdays, and as for the rest, she always replied that she didn't know.
"You don't know? Are you an assistant for nothing? Are you so indifferent to the private life of an artist? â
Ah Bin scolded him with a little sternness, and he nailed Qiu to the charge of hastily engaging in the crime of sloppy questioning.
Qiusheng was baffled by this sudden blame, could it be that this Ah Bin and her are superiors and subordinates? Shouldn't she just be with Xia Yidong?
"You're asking about his privacy, how can I find out about these things?"
Ah Bin suddenly felt tired and helpless, thinking that he only needed to bring a newcomer, but he didn't expect that even his assistant was so new that he was shiny.
"Do you know how to be an artist assistant? Not only do you have to know the artist's movements at all times, but also his private life, and more importantly, his emotional situation. Do you know the relationship between an assistant and a broker? You ......"
Before Ah Bin finished speaking, Xia Yidong came, and Qiusheng glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was only five o'clock.
"Hi, you're here so early today?"
Xia Yidong is still as usual, carrying a guitar on his back and bringing nothing else.
"Early?" Ah Bin looked strangely at Xia Yidong who was walking over, and couldn't believe Qiusheng's words.
"I didn't tell you just now, he basically works at night, usually arrives at the company at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and today is considered early. It seems that you didn't listen to my report well, if you want to say that the work is not serious, let's settle it. â
Qiusheng replied to Ah Bin angrily, and even Xia Yidong could hear the smell of gunpowder hidden in the conversation between the two people, so he just nodded.
"Oh, let me introduce myself, I'm the company's agent Ah Bin, Sir gave you to me. After that, I'll arrange your brokerage business, just ...... I'm just going to talk to your assistant about your situation.
Qiusheng glanced at Ah Bin, as if to say: Do you also call it "simple"?
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm used to working at night so I just arrived at the company, you are my agent, please take care of me later."
Qiusheng saw that Xia Yidong was respectful to Ah Bin in a blink of an eye, and probably realized the weight of the agent.
"Well, since you're working at night, you need the assistant lady to help deliver the message, I also have other artists with me, you just came here, let's familiarize yourself with the company environment first, and how about we discuss the event and the new album next week?"
"Okay, then I have a lot of work for you."
The awkward atmosphere was not eased until Ah Bin left the office, Xia Yidong glanced at Qiusheng, and he could understand the woodenness and blankness of the first assistant. But on second thought, wouldn't it be so simple?
"I ...... You can't say something wrong, right? â
Qiusheng was suddenly a little worried about whether she had provoked the "superior leader", after all, her purpose of being an assistant had not been achieved, and she couldn't be fired because of Ah Bin.
"Do you think everyone is like me, and the guitar is indifferent when it is used to steal it? Ah Bin is my agent, and to you, you can be regarded as your boss. â
"Do you want to know everything about him?"
"Just tell the truth, he and I are in the same boat, and he will be fine when I'm good, so don't worry."
Qiusheng was surprised when he heard it, could it be that personal privacy was also ......
Xia Yidong seemed to be aware of Qiusheng's concerns, and added: "As a star artist, there is not much real privacy." â
That whole night, Qiusheng was sleepless, she seemed to understand Xia Yidong's words, and also understood the rules for getting along with Ah Bin in the future, but she felt that she had violated her heart for this.
