Chapter 165: Business
Many people in the martial arts circle know that Xie Jinzhu should have a better future, but unfortunately he was victimized by his younger brothers and sisters, so that he has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and he has not played the leading role once.
But few people know that Qian Liangyi is also a victim.
More than ten years ago, Qian Liangyi had not yet set up his own business, working in a small brokerage company, he was an ace agent, and several artists who could make money were brought up by him, and the future should have been very good. Until one day, Xie Jinzhu enthusiastically recommended his junior brother over.
Before the tragedy, no one knew what the future would look like.
Qian Liangyi had a few artists in his hand at that time, and wanted to go up and expand the scale of the company, but he was always limited by an invisible ceiling, and he quickly figured out that the artist determines the upper limit of the agent, and the talent determines the upper limit of the artist. However, talent is not an appearance, you can't find it when you walk on the street, good seedlings basically run to colleges and universities, and after graduation, your vision is very high, and small companies can't look down on it at all. When Xie Jinzhu came over with a "talented" and "talented" junior brother, Qian Liangyi was overjoyed and raised his hands and feet to welcome.
After the arrival of the first junior brother, he satisfied all Qian Liangyi's fantasies about talented actors and artistic youths - arrogant and proud, yes, talented people are allowed to be proud; has the pursuit of art, it is very good, and a smart actor just has to have his own ideas; Very insistent on self, very good, losing characteristics is equivalent to being unremarkable; Rather bend than bend, refuse to compromise...... When Senior Brother No. 1 packed his luggage and said that he would not act, Qian Liangyi was stunned and almost didn't react, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him to stop it. It's a pity that the wood is already in the boat, and a person who is determined to leave can't stop him.
Xie Jinzhu comforted Qian Liangyi, don't be sad, junior and younger brothers will appear one after another. Qian Liangyi nodded, and made up his mind to get the second one well.
Liu Lihao is the second student in the history of Xing Yan's acting class to be exempted from tuition, and his acting talent is not inferior to the previous one. He has a sense of being willing to give up everything, there is no obstacle to acting, and he has a strong sense of faith. Such a person can easily get ahead early in his career if he is a little more flexible. The only drawback is that I don't know much about the world, I act a little greedy, and I want the best in everything. But Qian Liangyi is satisfied with this, who is not wrong in the entertainment industry now, and ambition and utilitarianism are not shortcomings in this industry, as long as you can act well when it is time to act.
arranged auditions for several small roles, and Liu Lihao's performance did make Qian Liangyi happy for a while.
Qian Liangyi has thought about how to become a partner of the company next and how to arrange Liu Lihao's future development direction.
However, slowly, Liu Lihao began to hold back and wanted to play the leading role quickly.
But that's not an easy task. Whether it is because the operation of the project takes time, or Liu Lihao's acting skills still need to be honed to a certain extent, Qian Liangyi reassured him step by step. But he didn't listen to it at all, and suddenly disappeared after leaving a letter on an ordinary day, saying that sharks should not soak in the pond, and that he was suppressed in the company and was jealous of Xie Jinzhu, so he jumped to a film and television company in Beijing.
The bloodiest scene in the world is that people who were originally close to each other say hurtful things like competition.
Xie Jinzhu doesn't have any family, he really treats each junior brother as his own brother, but he was sad and sad for a long time when he was told like this.
Qian Liangyi had never seen Xie Jinzhu cry like that. Therefore, in the past ten years, among all the Xingjiaban juniors, Qian Liangyi had the deepest impression of Liu Lihao. In the days that followed, he would occasionally inquire about Liu Lihao's recent situation in the industry.
I heard that Liu Lihao didn't stay long after he arrived in the capital, and he jumped to several companies one after another, but there was no improvement, and he came back to the magic capital, and soon he jumped to Hangzhou, tossing back and forth between several regions, so little by little he got himself into a late-night heavyweight variety show.
It's like queuing up in the cafeteria, always feeling that the speed of other teams is faster, and after moving over, they can't settle down, thinking that the original team is faster, and after some movement, all you end up eating is leftovers and cold rice.
After ten years, seeing Liu Lihao again, Qian Liangyi did not have the pleasure of "I told you a long time ago" in his heart, but was just full of vigilance and unwelcome.
Because of their studio, the only one who can attract the "sharks" to line up is Guan Chen, who has been in the limelight recently.
This juncture and timing of its appearance are too abnormal.
Sure enough, after Liu Lihao exchanged pleasantries for a while, he finally mentioned Guan Chen, saying that he had heard some voices on the TV station in the past few days, because the little junior brother was too popular and the team was weak, so someone was ready to do something. For example, on this Internet, a lot of strange revelations came out, and the studio neither refuted the rumors nor sent a lawyer's letter, "What does this look like, you should pay attention to it." Liu Lihao's face was full of worry. He claimed that although he had not met Guan Chen a few times, he had come out of the same class, and since he knew that the little junior brother was in danger, then he, the third senior brother, could not turn a blind eye, so he came to the magic capital to remind him, check and fill in the gaps, and see if there was anything that could help.
Liu Lihao sat opposite Qian Liangyi, his eyes glaring like copper bells, looking ready to sacrifice at any time.
Qian Liangyi refused on the spot, "I don't need your help." ”
Liu Lihao smiled and asked if the previous things had not disappeared.
Qian Liangyi was too lazy to recall the past with the white-eyed wolf, unless Liu Lihao was terminally ill and would die in a few days.
Liu Lihao said, "By the way, I know a few friends who do brands, and they want to ask how much the endorsement fee is. I, the third senior brother, can't watch the little junior brother suffer, I might as well reveal a little to you, the offer is definitely their psychological price. ”
When the lobbyist comes...... Qian Liangyi sneered, guessing that this might be the purpose of the other party's visit this time.
Mr. Liu said that among his friends was the person in charge of the auto brand endorsement business.
The corners of Qian Liangyi's mouth twitched. He remembered the few times he had been in Guan Chen's car. That speed can literally cause heart disease and cerebral thrombosis. Although I haven't received a single ticket so far, sooner or later there will be problems - either passers-by or co-pilots. So he and Xie Jinzhu unanimously decided to let Guan Chen touch the steering wheel as little as possible, and before the speed stabilized, the relevant endorsements would be counted first. In case the first generation advertises the car, and then an accident occurs in the news one day, and the image of the spokesperson is implicated, it will lose a lot of money.
Liu Lihao said, "There are also watch advertisements. ”
Qian Liangyi took a sip of tea expressionlessly, and sighed in his heart. A few days ago, a watch endorsement happened to find the studio, which is not a luxury and takes the affordable route. However, Guan Chen refused to wear that kind of watch all day. It's not that the grade is not enough, but that there is no waterproof, timed, and luminous function. Qian Liangyi pointed to the electronic watch on Guan Chen's wrist and asked speechlessly, is this the thing? Guan Chen said, you don't look down on an electronic watch, an electronic watch, a pen detonator, a timer as a receiver and transmitter, and a plastic bomb, together they are very good things.
Liu Lihao saw that Qian Liangyi was still unmoved, and was anxious, and said, "There are also advertisements for jade!" ”
Qian Liangyi's mind suddenly appeared in the setting of the talisman jade pendant, rubbed his temples, raised his hand to stop: "Don't say it again." ”
He didn't want to think about all kinds of crime-related trivia anymore.
Qian Liangyi was a little at a loss, when did he start, his mind had become unclean. Some things that are obviously normal, he can relate to Guan Chen, and then associate them with crimes.
Although the previous juniors and disciples had their own faults, compared with Guan Chen, they all became innocent and kind.
Qian Liangyi asked Liu Lihao to leave quickly, don't waste time here. He also said bitterly, "I'm doing this for your own good." ”
Liu Lihao was on the sofa and refused to leave.
Qian Liangyi was thinking about it, and Guan Chen suddenly came.
Qian Liangyi's temples began to jump, and he felt like he was going to go insane.
The power of a new trouble and an old one cannot be calculated by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in a few strokes.
As soon as Liu Lihao saw Guan Chen, he actively stood up and greeted, "...... I'm third, you can call me the third senior brother. ”
"Oh." Guan Chen's face was expressionless. It's like a child in the New Year, suddenly from home to see the elders he has never met, greeting him soullessly.
Fortunately, Guan Chen ran propaganda for a few months, and he still learned a little politeness, he introduced himself and said: "I just got started, my name is Guan Chen, and I am the last in the Xing family's class, so you can call me Brother Chen." ”
It is actually a very common thing to call someone brother in the circle. The title of rivers and lakes has nothing to do with generation. But introducing yourself like this when you meet for the first time is inevitably a little provocative.
"Brother Chen!" However, Liu Lihao shouted with a serious face, and praised the title of Brother Chen for being very imposing.
Guan Chen nodded casually and looked at Qian Liangyi.
"What are you doing here, it's very busy here." Qian Liangyi picked up the calculator on the coffee table, returned to zero and beeped for a good meal, pretending to be very busy, and urged Guan Chen to leave quickly, "This is the guest who passed by and sat down, there is nothing to know." ”
A sharp light flashed in Guan Chen's eyes, and he immediately debunked Qian Liangyi's trick.
"Are you blind to me?" Guan Chen snatched the calculator, and slashed Qian Liangyi's neck with a knife on his face, "You are all randomly pressing, and you dare to fish in front of me." ”
Qian Liangyi rolled on the sofa with his neck covered.
Liu Lihao, the third senior brother on the side of "......", was stunned, and he didn't know which play this was playing.
Guan Chen put away the knife and asked Qian Liangyi to quickly clean up, "Follow me." ”
Qian Liangyi didn't know what Guan Chen was going there for, and why he wanted to accompany him.
"Have you forgotten? I said I was going to start a new business. ”
Guan Chen frowned and said: "I was busy filming before, so I didn't have much time to care about this." Now that it's finally empty and back to its main business, it's time to catch the studio's performance. ”
As soon as the words fell.
The studio instantly silenced all the sounds, as if an angel was passing by.
In the next second, the staff began to swallow their saliva one after another, and they all typed the wrong keyboard, and some of them slid their mice onto the opposite table at once.
"This, let's discuss it again......" Qian Liangyi shook his body and voice, wanting Guan Chen to calm down again.
Guan Chen ignored him, walked to the manager's desk and took the car keys, and planned to go to Xing Yan to discuss the transportation of cheap labor.
Qian Liangyi had no choice but to hurry downstairs.
After Liu Lihao reacted, he also followed, saying that he was very useful, "variety actor, radio host, amateur writer, Chinese painting lover, screenwriter ......"
Guan Chen stopped, turned his head, and said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, the car can't accommodate so many people." ”
