Chapter Seventy-Six: To Each His Own Need
"Actually, I really didn't come to Shanghai to play..."
If it was the income of a few months ago, she could still come to play, but now the income no longer supports her to go out to play, and even her 3,000 yuan a month apartment has been rented out.
Gu Cheng crossed his fingers, put his thumbs against each other, put them on the table, looked at her quietly like this, and motioned for her to continue.
"Gu Shao, you also know that my side job is to be an anchor, and I will graduate in another year, judging from my current career prospects, if I become a professional anchor after graduation, it will definitely be a dead end...
Just half a month ago, an M agency called Galaxy Culture invited me to join them, and they said that my live broadcast style was too simple, and it was difficult for live broadcast to have a future.
He also asked me if I would like to join their company, and told me that the future video entertainment outlet will be in short videos, and they can use the short video platform to create popularity and make me a big Internet celebrity...
I thought I'd give it a try while I'm on vacation..."
In fact, if you can try it, it means that Qin Xiaoman is already excited...
Influencers are equal to anchors, but anchors are not equals influencers.
If you really want to make a comparison, it is equivalent to the difference between an actor and a variety actor.
In Qin Xiaoman's heart, the prospect of Internet celebrity is still much bigger than that of anchors, her dream was originally to be a star, but after a few years, she also knows that her chances of becoming a star are simply too low...
Since you can't be a star, you can be an Internet celebrity.
After all, Internet celebrities don't also have a name called "grassroots stars", there are still a lot of brainless fans who are sought after, if you can become a big Internet celebrity, isn't it equivalent to completing your low-profile version of your dream?
After speaking, Qin Xiaoman looked at Gu Cheng with longing...
If this Gu Shao in front of him can help himself, maybe he may really become a big Internet celebrity!
And Gu Cheng listened to Qin Xiaoman's words, frowned slightly, and pondered slightly.
M institutions like "Galaxy Culture" that rely on short video outlets to create Internet celebrities will not be too much in 2022, and it is no exaggeration to say that major M institutions have become an extremely critical part of the short video industry chain.
But when is it?
In 2016!
There is still a year to go before the boom of short videos, and the main target of the traditional M organization in China is still on the anchor, and most of them still exist in the form of live broadcast guilds.
And now there is an M agency that has begun to lay out in the short video industry.
This is enough to show that the boss of this company has a very long-term vision.
After all, not everyone is like Gu Cheng, and they can know the development trend in the next six years...
If there is a chance, Gu Cheng really wants to meet the boss of Galaxy Culture.
It stands to reason that Company M, which can start to lay out in the short video outlet in 2016, should not be nameless, but Gu Cheng thought about it for a while, and he couldn't search for this "Galaxy Culture" company in his mind.
Since he couldn't think of it, Gu Cheng didn't bother to think about it, so he immediately looked at Qin Xiaoman and said with a joking smile: "How do you know that being a professional anchor is a dead end?" ”
With a slightly red face, Qin Xiaoman slowly spoke: "Actually, the big anchors are nothing, the limitations of our small anchors are too great."
Even if no one rewards those top big anchors, the platform's signing fee is sky-high, after all, the platform needs their traffic.
And we small anchors can't do it, to put it mildly, we are just a simple profit-making tool of the platform, how much money the platform spends on the big anchors, you have to earn back from us, or even more...
And a small anchor like us who doesn't have a big brother to hold it, unless the ancestral grave is smoking, if you want to become a big anchor, there is no chance, since I know that there is a dead end, I might as well find another way..."
Qin Xiaoman seemed to be complaining, but he had actually been observing Gu Cheng's expression.
Looking at Qin Xiaoman's eyes that secretly looked at him, Gu Cheng smiled: "Do you remember how we chatted on WeChat a month ago?" ”
When Qin Xiaoman heard this, he immediately nodded with embarrassment.
A month ago, Gu Cheng invited himself to Jinling, and he told him righteously that he was not this kind of girl, but it had only been a month before he appeared in front of Gu Cheng.
Although there was a coincidence reason, it was more because Gu Cheng had a total of 99 super fires that moved him.
That's close to 200,000.
Just ask the female anchors who are similar to her on the entire platform, who can refuse?
Gu Cheng didn't care about her embarrassment, after all, being able to be regarded as a prey by himself meant that he had already seen her essence clearly...
In fact, Qin Xiaoman is essentially no different from Liu Su.
If you really want to impose one, it can only be said that Qin Xiaoman's bottom line is much higher than Liu Su.
Now that it was determined that Qin Xiaoman had a need for him, Gu Cheng no longer hinted at metaphors, and spoke straight to the point: "I can give you three choices." ”
"What three options?"
"If you are willing to continue the live broadcast, I can guarantee you 100,000 yuan per month of basic flow, as for whether you can become a big anchor, it depends on whether you have that luck and whether the union is willing to support you, what I can do is to become what you call "big brother".
If you want to choose this one, there is a basic advantage, that is, at least you can have an income of about 50,000 yuan a month, and the harvest can be guaranteed in drought and flood. ”
"What about the second one?"
Qin Xiaoman couldn't quite accept this choice.
If you choose this one, what is the difference between yourself and a canary?
Although the income of 50,000 yuan a month makes her very tempted, men are fickle, especially for a rich and powerful man like Gu Cheng, there must be no shortage of beauties around him.
When Gu Cheng is no longer interested in himself, will he continue to give himself gifts?
A: No, no.
At that time, if he became a big anchor, it would be okay to say, I am afraid that I am afraid that I will still be in this tepid state by then, and without Gu Cheng, I will be exposed again.
"Let's talk about the second one.
The second is the M agency you just mentioned, in fact, I am also going to set up an M agency, if you want, I can let the company support you to become a big Internet celebrity.
Of course, I'm not sure when this company will be founded, and you can also take my choice as a big pie, believe it or not, it's up to you. ”
Gu Cheng still disdains to deceive Qin Xiaoman by painting a big pie.
When chatting with Zhao Tai before, Gu Cheng had said that he would make a fortune in the Internet celebrity market, but he had been waiting for an opportunity.
And Qin Xiaoman, in Gu Cheng's eyes, does have the potential to become a big Internet celebrity.
When it comes to appearance, it is only higher than those Internet celebrities in later generations, especially the pure desire exuded by the body, which can make many men dizzy.
Not to mention talent, at least she was born in a Sichuan Yin class, and she will definitely not be worse than those voice card warriors.
If Qin Xiaoman was willing, Gu Cheng really didn't mind spending some resources on her and picking her up.
"If you choose the first condition, I can charge another 100,000 shark fins right now and empty 50 super fires in your live broadcast room.
If you pick the second one...
It probably won't be different in the short term, so take your time and think about it yourself. ”
After speaking, Gu Cheng lit a cigarette, his fingertips trembled slightly, and waited for Qin Xiaoman's answer.
"What's the third option?"
With a slight smile, Gu Cheng didn't look up at her, but just dusted off the cigarette ash on the pure white ash tray: "The third option is that I invite you to a meal in my private name, and after eating this meal, I will ask Pete to send you back again."
As for the gifts I swiped to you, you don't have to return them.
This option is the most cost-effective for you, you don't need to do anything, just waste two hours of time to have a meal with me, and you can get nearly 100,000 yuan. ”
After listening to Gu Cheng's words, Qin Xiaoman suddenly fell silent...
If she hadn't seen Gu Cheng in person and hadn't heard the first two choices, she could choose the third one without hesitation.
You can get 100,000 yuan for a meal with someone, where can you find such a good thing?
But seeing Gu Cheng's magnanimity, but the temptation of the first two choices, how could her eyes be attracted by 100,000 yuan?
Looking at Qin Xiaoman's complicated face, Gu Cheng didn't urge, a pack of cigarettes worth hundreds of yuan, Gu Cheng only took two puffs and extinguished it, quietly waiting for her reply.
He was 100% sure that Qin Xiaoman would not choose the third one.
Because human nature is like that.
Obviously, you only need to pay a little insignificant to get a good reward, and normal people will not refuse.
As for this "insignificant", it is only said of a part of the people.
And it just so happened that Qin Xiaoman was included.
No matter how much you say, no matter how high the bottom line is, being able to appear at Gu Cheng's table shows that the so-called bottom line is just a show to deceive others, or to deceive yourself.
In other words, if Qin Xiaoman really chose the third one, Gu Cheng would not be the one who was wronged...
As long as he doesn't want to, Qin Xiaoman can't get a dime of the 99 super hot commissions he just brushed, and Qin Xiaoman has been an anchor for so long, so he naturally won't understand this truth.
Long.
Qin Xiaoman did not disappoint Gu Cheng, his eyes slowly changed from confusion to determination.
"Gu Shao, if I join your M organization, will you really support me?"
"It depends on whether you trust me, after all, we didn't sign a contract, just one mouth.
And even if we sign a contract, I want to regret it, you can't do anything about me, are you right?
So this choice is made purely by the trust you have in me. ”
"Then I'll pick the second one!"
After being silent for nearly a minute, Qin Xiaoman finally made his choice.
She no longer wants to be a small anchor with a smiling face to all the viewers all day long, calling all kinds of brothers and all kinds of masters all day, and the income is only a few thousand yuan, she wants to be a big Internet celebrity!
"It probably won't take long for you to understand how right the choice you made today was."
...............
..............
The speed of serving French food is not fast, especially the chef of Jade 36 Restaurant specially prepared nine dishes for Gu Cheng and Qin Xiaoman each.
After a meal, I ate for almost two hours, and even in the exclusive elevator, I met Yuan Zhen, who was about to go upstairs with the pseudonymous Ella and Jennifer to talk about life.
The dinner that Pete prepared before also became the one he prepared for Yuan Zhen...
Seeing Qin Xiaoman beside Gu Cheng, Yuan Zhen also smiled ambiguously at Gu Cheng in the elevator, and the two of them also tacitly agreed, but Gu Cheng didn't know very well, Yuan Zhen, who was at the limit of four and a half minutes, how could he dare to take two girls back at once?
On the contrary, it was the pseudo-celebrity Ella, when she saw Qin Xiaoman, her eyes were about to breathe fire with jealousy, compared to Yuan Zhen, Gu Cheng was obviously a better prey, but Gu Cheng didn't look down on them...
Now seeing that Qin Xiaoman snatched Gu Cheng, they are naturally full of jealousy, but they will not be so idiotic as to show it on the spot...
When he walked out of the elevator and took Qin Xiaoman back to the Shanghai Presidential Suite on the 33rd floor of Pujiang Building,
Gu Cheng dialed Pete's phone directly.
"Pete, help me pick a bottle of red wine and send it over."
Pete, who was on the other end of the phone, got Gu Cheng's instructions and hurriedly arranged it.
"Let's sit down for a while."
After casually saying a word to Qin Xiaoman, he took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the river view in the distance.
He didn't plan to take a bottle for Qin Xiaoman, he took it himself with his right hand, and if he wanted to drink it, he would take it himself.
It can be said that there is no gentlemanly demeanor at all, and there is no doubt that the straight man of steel.
But some women eat this set.
If you are rich and beautiful, then you are different and have the charm of a man.
If you don't have money and don't have any face...
I'm sorry, you're destined to be lonely for the rest of your life...
"Gu Shao, is this the presidential suite?"
Qin Xiaoman stared at the luxurious decorations in the room with some novelty, looking left and right.
With her income, not to mention the presidential suite, she has never even been to Shangri-La.
Gu Cheng looked at the river scenery in the distance, didn't even look back, and hummed perfunctorily.
"Can I take a few pictures?"
After all, she is still a vain woman, and when she sees the presidential suite, which is claimed to be worth a year's salary of ordinary people, she can't help but want to take a few photos to show off.
But it's also normal, if it weren't for a vain woman, then she wouldn't be here.
"If you want to shoot, you don't have to ask me."
Just when Qin Xiaoman was taking a selfie, the doorbell rang.
Gu Cheng didn't have the slightest intention of pity for the jade, and directly instructed Qin Xiaoman: "It should be that the red wine has arrived, go and open the door." ”
Qin Xiaoman didn't have any other thoughts, nodded and went directly to open the door.
In the face of Gu Cheng's orders, Qin Xiaoman was extremely obedient, so it was not that women were not gentle now, but that their gentleness and obedience would only give them what they wanted.
Small kiosk
Qin Xiaoman opened the door, and there was a handsome mixed-race man standing at the door, wearing a housekeeper's uniform, who was it not Pete?
Seeing that it was Qin Xiaoman who opened the door, Pete didn't feel surprised, and still bowed down to say hello with a professional smile.
"Hello Ms. Qin, I'm here to help Gu Shao deliver red wine."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoman hurriedly let go of his body a little crampedly.
"Please come in."
Pete, still with a smile that has not changed for thousands of years, greeted several waiters behind him, and walked into the room.
Seeing Gu Cheng on the sofa, he hurriedly went up and said hello.
"You just call the hotel and ask the hotel to arrange it, you don't have to come yourself."
Gu Cheng said to Pete a little helplessly.
Pete smiled: "I'm afraid that other people's arrangements will not be good, which will affect Gu Shao's mood." ”
Gu Cheng just smiled helplessly, and shook his head at him, Gu Cheng could be said to be very satisfied with Pete's personal butler.
Seeing that the waiter had already set the table and the red wine had been added to the decanter, Pete also knew that he shouldn't stay in this good thing that hindered Gu Cheng, and said again: "Gu Shao, I chose 02 Patus for you for the red wine, this red wine will be a little more fruity, I think you should like it."
If there were no other instructions, I would have gone first. ”
Seeing Pete's such an interesting appearance, Gu Cheng also smiled meaningfully and did not stop it.
As the night deepened, the two of them sat in front of the window and looked at the brilliant neon lights.
The red wine that Pete chose for Gu Cheng was really good, and he couldn't help but drink two more glasses because he didn't like to drink too much, and Qin Xiaoman also drank a few more glasses at Gu Cheng's request.
The light from the crystal chandelier suddenly set off the atmosphere in the room a little charming.
Looking at Qin Xiaoman, who was flushed with alcohol in front of him, Gu Cheng had an unknown impulse rising.
"How's the wine?"
Probably knowing what would happen next, Qin Xiaoman was a little shy, and said in a low voice: "It's delicious, it's just a little top, a little hot..."
"It just so happens that I'm hot too, so let's go take a shower together."
After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Qin Xiaoman into the bathroom.
this night.
Two young men and women each take what they need, and get drunk all night. (PS: Note 4)
