Chapter Twenty-Four: I'm Just Not Convinced
"Mr. Liu."
"Mr. Wu, long time no see."
Wu Liang and Liu Dong are not familiar with each other, they only met at a party, although they are not familiar, but he knows Liu Dong very well.
Liu Dong graduated from the Yanying Drama Department, and after graduation, he also acted in several comedies, which was tepid, and later he simply stopped being an actor, turned around and entered Orange Light Entertainment, and became the general manager of the Orange Light Entertainment Planning Department.
From here, you can see the importance of having a good father.
Of course, Liu Dong's personal ability is not bad, after all, Orange Light is not his father's alone, if he doesn't have two brushes, it is impossible for Orange Light to stand on his feet.
In recent years, Liu Dong has been smooth sailing.
The only thing that didn't go well was Lin Jin.
Recently, it has been rumored outside that Lin Jin and Gu Fei are in love, and Wu Liang estimates that Liu Dong will come because of this incident.
"Mr. Wu's recent development momentum of the company is very strong, congratulations, when will I reward my little brother with a bite of food."
"Mr. Liu, don't make fun of me, we are a small family, where can we compare to the big Buddha of Orange Light."
"Small has small benefits, big big difficulties."
"That being said, no one is afraid of money."
The two sat on the sofa and fought with their teeth, and neither of them had any intention of getting to the point.
Until the female assistant came in for the third time to refill the water.
Liu Dongcai said unhurriedly: "Mr. Wu, in fact, the little brother came this time to inquire about something with you. ”
"Oh?"
Wu Liang looked flattered and said: "Mr. Liu, you ask, as long as I Wu know, I know everything, and I can't say anything." ”
"Actually, it's nothing." Liu Dong took a sip of the water cup, spit out the sour tea leaves, and said: "Isn't there an actor under Mr. Wu, his name is Gu Fei, right, I want to ask, next your company's work arrangements for Gu Fei, of course, I just ask casually, Mr. Wu is inconvenient to say." ”
The ghost believes that you are a casual question.
Wu Liang's face remained unchanged, he pondered for a while, and said embarrassedly: "This ...... It's a little difficult, Gu Fei has a lot of potential, and the company is still counting on him to make money to support him. ”
"Huh."
Liu Dongpi didn't smile: "Then I didn't ask." ”
"No, no, no."
Wu Liang hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I mean Gu Fei is my right-hand man, a confidant artist, if his work arrangement is revealed and his competitors know, how many companies will lose......
Liu Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers rubbed the teacup, and said lightly: "Gu Fei's contract, it seems that there is only one year left, right?" ”
"Yes, the pheasant has become a phoenix, and my crooked-necked tree can't be tethered." Wu Liang was a little disappointed.
This loss is not acted, and this often happens in third-rate entertainment companies like them.
Morningstar Entertainment's resources are limited, and once its artists become popular, they can only take advantage of the contract period to make more money, otherwise when the contract period ends, the artists will definitely go to large companies with better resources.
They also want to nurture well.
But after cultivating and becoming famous, artists can't look down on companies with no resources like Morningstar, and in the end they can only seize the opportunity to make money, slowly forming a vicious circle.
Wu Liang can't help it, this is the status quo.
The entertainment industry has always been a big fish eating small fish, and a small fish eating dried shrimp, and their company can survive because of Wu Liang's maneuvering between major entertainment companies.
"Our company has a few movies to be released, and the box office is guaranteed, and I think Morningstar meets the criteria for shareholding......" Liu Dong continued to rub the water glass.
"Stake?"
Wu Liang's eyes flickered, and he kept thinking in his heart, Liu Dong had the best face, and it was impossible not to count what he said, unless he wanted to be notorious in the circle, so he could trade.
After Wu Liang calculated, he said with a smile: "Actually, Gu Fei's work arrangement is not a secret, but now there are invitations to two programs, one is Xiangtan Satellite TV, I am a big singer, and the other is Haicheng Satellite TV, I am a comedian, but I am not sure which one Gu Fei will participate in...... I don't know which one Mr. Liu wants him to attend? ”
"Big singers, comedians, your company's resources are deeply hidden." Liu Dong smiled and said, "Gu Fei is a singer after all, I think Mr. Wu already has a choice in his heart." ”
"It's hard to choose......" Wu Hao seemed to be very entangled.
"I have a few trainees under me, but it is not very successful, and the company has no plans to continue to sign contracts." Liu Dong added weights.
Wu Liang smiled.
"Okay, that's a deal."
He stood up and stretched out his hand: "I have always thought that Gu Fei is very suitable for comedians' programs. ”
Liu Dong also stood up, his hands clasped tightly.
……
When Liu Dong returned home, his father Liu Weiguo was drinking tea in the study.
He walked into the study and said, "Dad, let me tell you something, I've been staying in the company for the past two years, I don't think it's interesting, Haicheng Satellite TV doesn't have a comedian show recently, I want to make a comeback and try it." ”
Liu Weiguo put down the teacup in his hand, looked at his unsuccessful son, shook his head and said, "You are not that material, not to mention that you really want to make a comeback?" ”
Liu Dongdao: "I really want to make a comeback, why is it not that material, will I also act in a few comedy movies when I am an actor?" ”
"If you hadn't had a dad who was the vice president of those movies, do you think you would have a chance to act? Don't think I don't know your careful thoughts, you did the thing about Lin Jin's song some time ago, and now it is rumored that Lin Jin and Gu Fei are in love, Gu Fei If I remember correctly, he is an artist of Morning Star, and Morning Star just has the resources of a comedian in his hand, don't tell me that you don't know such a coincidental thing. ”
Liu Dong was speechless.
He didn't expect that his dad usually didn't care about these idle things, but in fact, he knew everything about it.
Liu Weiguo sighed and said: "I don't object to you chasing Lin Jin, I am also very optimistic about Lin Jin as our daughter-in-law, but now that people are in love, if you fool around, it will be my Liu Weiguo's face." ”
"I'm just not convinced."
Liu Dong said: "No matter how you look at it, Gu Fei is a little white face, what can he do?" ”
Liu Weiguo sighed: "It's useless if you are not convinced, in our industry, ability is ability, Gu Fei can write the song "Drifting the Ocean to See You", with this alone, you are far inferior to him, he has a good chance to become a front-line, you have the kung fu to compete with him, it is better to think about how to do your own job well." ”
When his father said this, Liu Dong suddenly looked like a deflated ball.
He knows that he can get to where he is today, thanks to having a vice president father, although he works hard enough, but in the eyes of others, his efforts are far less important than having a vice president father.
"Dad, this is the last ......" He didn't want to give up, after all, he had promised Liu Dong so many conditions, and it was very distressing to think about it.
Liu Weiguo looked at him deeply, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Okay, this is the last time." ”
Liu Dong nodded hurriedly.
He is not a person who is carried away by jealousy, so this time's layout has always been promoting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, singing is Gu Fei's strength, so don't let Gu Fei participate in the singing program, comedy performance is his own specialty, although Gu Fei also has acting talent, but comedy is not just acting, he doesn't believe that Gu Fei can win himself.
"I don't believe I'm as good as a little white face?"
In fact, Liu Dong has always suspected that Gu Fei and Lin Jin's love is greasy, but he knows better that even if he is greasy, Lin Jin will not accept himself.
He needed to prove that he had a chance to prove that he was at least better than Gu Fei.
At this time, there was only Liu Weiguo in the study, and he dialed the phone.
"Hey, Director Huang, can you vacate a place in your Haicheng comedian's program? Rest assured, I will send our best screenwriters in Orange Light to absolutely guarantee the quality of the show. ”
"Okay, you'll have time to come and sit in Orange Light another day."
Hanging up the phone, Liu Weiguo sighed.
The wrong things he has done in this life seem to be all for his unsuccessful son.
But every time I knew it was wrong, I did it anyway.
Hopefully, this time really will be the last time.
……
Gu Fei drove the car and drove Gu Qian on the highway back to Jiangcheng.
The Bluetooth phone rang, and he pressed the connect button.
"Gu Fei, Mr. Wu said that there is only one variety show now, which is Haicheng's "I Am a Comedian", do you want to take it?"
Comedian?
Gu Fei raised his eyebrows, he has many ways to make money, but these methods have to share the money with Morning Star without exception, after all, it is still within the contract period, and he originally wanted to turn his face directly, but it was a big deal to Bo Gongtang, and he lost money for a year and a half.
But the show piqued a hint of interest.
With Morningstar's resources, it is understandable to give money to Morningstar.
Gu Fei looked at the endless highway, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Pick it up!"
