Chapter 194: Job-hopping and poaching
The end of December is also the end of the 2023 solar calendar year.
Yang Yue is very leisurely and comfortable here, but there are also many people who are uncomfortable.
Liu Zhao was very uncomfortable.
It originated from a message he got yesterday from the middle and senior management of the company.
He was originally the backbone agent of Yiguan Entertainment, and he was only one or two steps away from becoming a famous gold agent.
The company sent him to Wu Yaozu, a "newcomer", as an agent, which is decentralized.
Although he followed Wu Yaozu to the bottom, he still had some connections in the middle level.
This news was secretly told to him by a middle-level friend.
said that after New Year's Day, the company was not ready to let him take Wu Yaozu.
If he goes back to bring some singers who have become famous, Liu Zhao can't wait for it.
The problem is that, according to the colleague, the few artists arranged for him by the company are either outdated or problematic, and it is impossible for them to become popular in short.
Doesn't this mean that his future and money will be cut off?
On top of that, this transfer seems to have been instructed by the tigress behind Wu Yaozu.
Liu Zhao thought that he had never offended the tigress, but since Wu Yaozu was advised by him that time, he had become more and more angry with him, and his words had become more and more unpolite.
Therefore, as soon as he got the news, he knew that the person who really wanted to remove him, or even rectify him, was Wu Yaozu.
Liu Zhao is a mature and steady middle-aged man, although he knows that his guess is likely to be the truth, but before it is confirmed, he still does not want to tear his face with Wu Yaozu.
Tomorrow is the end of the month.
Seeing him in Wu Yaozu's mansion on this day, Liu Zhao couldn't help but ask after all.
"Are you ready to change agents?"
Wu Yaozu sat slumped on the sofa, smoking a cigar, spitting out a smoke ring and said, "Brother Zhao is very well-informed, that's right, I have this idea." โ
"Why?" Liu Zhao frowned and asked.
He asked himself, although he was at odds with Wu Yaozu in some concepts, it was all for Wu Yaozu's good, and he did his best for Wu Yaozu's debut before.
So now that Wu Yaozu has made a successful debut, he wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey?
Wu Yaozu said lazily: "No, I just don't think I can get along." โ
"Then you mean that let me go to the artists who have been angry and the artists who have problems?" Liu Zhao held back his anger and asked.
"How is that possible?" Wu Yaozu was still lazy and listless, "I just told her that I wanted to change agents, probably because she didn't like you." โ
Liu Zhao understood.
Maybe Wu Yaozu really just wanted to change his agent and didn't want to fix him, but I don't know if it was the tigress or the company's senior management over-interpreted the meaning of the tigress, which cut off his future.
Liu Zhao wanted to scold Wu Yaozu very much, and even beat Wu Yaozu.
But he didn't.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and people have become cowardly.
But the main thing is that he knows that doing so will not help him change his situation except to vent his anger for a while.
So, leaving a sentence of "do it yourself", Liu Zhao turned around and left.
Wu Yaozu looked at Liu Zhao's back and snorted, "A thing that is going to be beaten into the cold palace by the company is also worthy of calling me to do it myself?" It's ridiculous. โ
Liu Zhao hadn't gone far yet, and vaguely heard Wu Yaozu's words, but he didn't look back.
He believes that an artist like Wu Yaozu is destined to not go far.
In the end, there will be Tianwu Yaozu, who can only do it himself.
Back in the rented bachelor apartment, Liu Zhao began to think of a way out.
He is not a young bachelor who feeds the whole family without starving, but a middle-aged man who is old and young, the head of the family.
If you really want to be transferred by the company to bring out the artists and problem artists, the income will definitely be greatly reduced, and there is even the possibility of being fired by the company in the further future.
Whether it's for the future or for the family, he must plan ahead.
After smoking a few cigarettes and scratching his hair, he remembered Liu Jie from the same clan.

On the morning of December 31.
Yang Yue called Wan Xuan's small team and the team of "three girls" to the office area of his villa and held a simple "year-end summary meeting".
Mainly to talk about the approximate song arrangement for Wan Xuan and the "Three Girls" next year.
This song mainly refers to the songs that Yang Yue is responsible for producing for them, and does not include the songs they want to produce.
Of course, now they need Yang Yue's consent to sing songs.
If they are allowed to release some songs of inferior quality, it will destroy Yang Yue's overall plan to create their image and personality.
The songs on both sides will be scheduled after the Lunar New Year, and then the "three girls" will be released first, and then it will be Wan Xuan's turn.
In this way, involution can be avoided as much as possible.
In addition to this, it is to listen to the reports of both sides on all aspects of their songs, as well as some commercial activities such as advertisements and endorsements.
The whole meeting lasted less than half an hour.
After the meeting, Yang Yue asked the people on both sides to go back to their respective homes.
Liu Jie asked Wan Xuan and Li Xiuting to go back first, but she stayed.
"Something?" Yang Yue asked.
Liu Jie hesitated a little and said, "I have a relative who is also an agent, and his qualifications are much better than mine, so ask me if Mr. Yang's studio needs an agent." โ
Yang Yue smiled, "Don't you know if I need an agent here?" โ
Liu Jie was embarrassed.
She knew very well that Yang Yue didn't need an agent now.
After all, the studio has a group and a solo singer, all of which have agents.
As for Yang Yue, it is enough to have Ma Feifei in charge.
At this time, Yang Yue said again: "What is the situation of this person, you can tell me." โ
As soon as Liu Jie heard this, she was hopeful and immediately introduced it seriously.
"His name is Liu Zhao, he is my distant cousin, and he is currently working in Yiguan..."
Through Liu Jie's introduction, Yang Yue knew that the other party was indeed a highly qualified and capable agent.
Not to mention, such an agent is really what he needs.
Of course, how the real person got him to meet can only be determined.
So he said, "You tell him that he can come to me for an interview." But I don't have a ready-made artist here to bring him, but there are people who want to dig it up.
If he really wants to come to my studio to do it, he may need to poach people first.
If I can't dig someone, I can only let him idle and bring new people in the future. โ
Liu Jie nodded when she heard this, "Okay, I'll tell him." โ
She knew very well in her heart that Yang Yue's conditions sounded harsh, but they actually contained great opportunities.
But how to choose this matter depends on Liu Zhao himself.
Back at the villa where Wan Xuan lived, Liu Jie called Liu Zhao and relayed Yang Yue's words.
She didn't hint at more, but she believed that Liu Zhao was a smart person.
Sure enough, Liu Zhao listened and asked, "Do you know who he wants to dig?" โ
Liu Jie smiled: "How can I know this?" But it shouldn't be a famous singer, you can refer to Wan Xuan for this. โ
Wan Xuan's situation, where does Liu Zhao not know?
A potential newcomer who was only given up by Yiguan before, the result shines in Yang Yue's hands.
Not only did three songs dominate the top three of the Tian Lai Newcomer List, but two songs also broke into the top ten of the main list of the Thousand Degrees Music Billboard!
From an unknown person, he became the hottest newcomer in the music scene in December in just one month!
From the "Three Girls" and Wan Xuan, it can be seen that Yang Yue's vision of singers is as outstanding as his music creation talent.
Therefore, the singer who was favored by Yang Yue this time and wanted to poach must also have great potential.
The question is just how famous the other party is, and whether it is good or not.
After only a brief thought, Liu Zhao felt that he was capable of doing this.
Because of Yang Yue's presence, there is no question of whether the average singer is good or not.
Let's ask, in today's music scene, as long as Yang Yue is willing to tailor songs for him, which singer is not impressed?
With this bargaining chip, Liu Zhao feels that he can be invincible under the first-line singers!
Thinking about this, Liu Zhao said decisively: "If I can, I can come to the interview tomorrow, but I don't know if Mr. Yang has time." โ
Tomorrow is New Year's Day.
Liu Jie smiled: "I'll help you ask." โ
Subsequently, Liu Jie called Yang Yue and asked.
Yang Yue said there was no problem.
He lives in the studio, and it makes no difference whether he has a holiday on New Year's Day or not, and Ma Feifei and Liang Xiaoya probably won't mind working half a day.
Besides, the main reason for this interview is that he knows Liu Zhao as a person, and the official entry procedure can be done later.
Liu Zhao was naturally very happy to get the news.
He felt that this jump from Yiguan to his old dream might be the beginning of his operation.
