Chapter 65: The Turmoil of Commercial Performances (1)
At the end of January 2000, at the beginning of the school of drama vacation, Pony Galloping and Shi Rong arranged an average frequency of two commercial performances per week for Gu Bei, except for the time of rushing and performances, the rest of the time will be used for preparation and rehearsal.
The company seems to be deliberately knocking on Gu Bei, there is no room for negotiation, and the only holiday is on the day of the Spring Festival.
Northeast China, South China, North China, Southwest, and even Northwest China have left traces of Gubei's commercial performances during this holiday, and fatigue is exhausted, but the income of a commercial performance is 100,000, and there is also an after-tax income of more than 20,000 yuan in Gu Bei's hands, if it goes well, this holiday will bring nearly 200,000 yuan of income to Gubei.
The company's arrangements are very comprehensive, Gu Bei is also very cooperative this time, preparing carefully, and he has not dropped the chain during the commercial performance, but many times, the development of the situation is not controllable by man.
In winter, most companies hold annual meetings to recognize outstanding employees, summarize the past year's performance, and celebrate the new year, but winter has a particularly abrasive quality, and that is the cold, especially in places like the Northeast.
In the week before the Spring Festival, Gu Bei, who had already rehearsed, was arranged to perform at the annual meeting of a company in the Northeast, everything went smoothly, and the staff was very kind, but something went wrong when he was on stage.
Due to the weather, the equipment that had just been moved to the venue from the outside was out of order, and the live sound may have been frozen, so that there was a cold field for a while.
This originally had nothing to do with Gu Bei, but Gu Bei, who was already standing on the stage, was also very embarrassed, looking at the hundreds of employees in the audience who were full of interest, he wanted to say a few words to relieve the embarrassment, but he couldn't make a sound, so he could only temporarily escape from the stage.
The organizers also immediately set out to solve the problem, one is to solve the sound problem, on the one hand, urgently call new speakers from other places, on the other hand, also seize the time to overhaul all the equipment on site to avoid the recurrence of this kind of problem, and the second is to solve the problem of cold field on the spot.
The person in charge of this performance is a young man in his early twenties, who served as the artistic director of this annual meeting, and I heard that he has a very good background and ability in the company.
It's just that the art director came up with a lottery to solve the problem of cold spots, and the person who drew the lottery was Gu Bei.
This article was not written in the contract, so the art director Li Nan personally found Gu Bei, who was waiting backstage.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, let me introduce myself first, I am the main person in charge of this event, my surname is Li, you can call me Director Li, and I have decided to choose you to add an atmosphere to our company this time."
As soon as Li Nan came up, he gave Gu Bei a sense of domineering, and his words were quite polite, but he was not so pleasant, and he didn't seem to attach much importance to Gu Bei, otherwise Gu Bei would have been simply received by the art director when he first arrived, and he would not have appeared now.
Gu Bei didn't care about the other party's attitude, got up and smiled: "Director Li, hello." ”
"Mr. Gu, you just saw it, there was a little accident at the scene, and it will take a little time for the new audio equipment to be transported to the scene, we have arranged a lottery during this time, and I hope you will temporarily act as a guest of the lottery." Li Nan's thinking was very clear, and he explained his intentions concisely and clearly.
Gu Bei thought about it for a while, and it was nothing to help draw a prize, but Gu Bei hadn't done it before, it was no good to do it well, and he had to bear the consequences if he messed up, so he excused himself and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?" ”
Seeing Gu Bei say this, Li Nan seemed to have expected it a long time ago, showed a confident smile, and said, "Of course, I won't let Mr. Gu work in vain, on the basis of the original 100,000 yuan, I will add another 10,000 yuan." ”
"It's not a matter of money, Director Li, but I'm not familiar with the business of lottery, and it is inevitable that things will go wrong, and this matter is not something that I can count alone."
"I understand!" Li Nan raised an index finger and nodded, and ordered someone to get a contract, "In this way, Mr. Gu, I will add another 5,000 yuan to you, and sign the contract immediately, what do you think?" ”
If a few years ago, Li Nan took 15,000 yuan to let Gu Bei perform together, Gu Bei specified that he would not say a word, and he would come as he wanted to come on stage, but now, as the wealth in his hands has accumulated to a certain extent, it is difficult for Gu Bei to be as low as before, one is that it is not necessary, and the other is because social wealth has indeed made Gu Bei's waist stiffer.
No way, money is a vulgar thing, but it can really bring people a sense of security and self-confidence, Gu Bei does not deny that he has a little bit of a feeling of expansion, but this expansion has not yet evolved into conceit.
Li Nan's tone of voice made Gu Bei very awkward, but Gu Bei still replied politely: "I'm really sorry, Director Li, it's really not a matter of money, I signed a contract with a brokerage company, and I can't take on other performances privately without the permission of the company." ”
"In this way, we don't take the company's path, our company and you personally sign a contract, so you don't have to share with the company, and a lottery is not a performance."
"It's better for your company to contact my agent, I can't tell the company."
Li Nan was choked by Gu Bei, but he still squeezed out a smile, and did not talk to Gu Bei, and called Shi Rong who was far away in Beiping in front of Gu Bei, Shi Rong did not know the situation on Gu Bei's side, and the other party was willing to add money, so he naturally helped Gu Bei take over this business, but Li Nan mentioned 15,000, which was talked about by Shi Rong for 20,000.
"Mr. Gu, is it okay now? After signing the contract, you hurry up and prepare, I hope that the 20,000 yuan is not wasted, and I hope that I did not choose the wrong person. There is nothing wrong with the words, but with Li Nan's face and tone, it is particularly piercing.
After signing the contract, Li Nan left with his own people, leaving Gu Bei's own team in the backstage waiting area, Su Yiyi directly closed the door one by one, and said angrily: "Just now, this person, why did he keep talking with thorns, and he was condescending as soon as he came in, he really thought that if he had money, he could do whatever he wanted?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Bei didn't say anything, in the future, Ali Lao Ma will tell Su Yiyi that he can really do whatever he wants if he has money, and the all-martial arts star's "Gong Shou Dao", Gao Xiaosong created the theme song sung by Wang Fei, but it left an extremely deep impression on the HC old demon.
Xiao Tian, who was sent to Gu Bei as an assistant again, also replied casually: "I heard that he is the nephew of the boss of this company, and this is already calculated, there are more domineering and arrogant second generations than this." ”
"You still can't talk too much, the level of education depends largely on the family background, most of the second generation are still very cultivated, only some of them are really self-righteous, and the one just now can be regarded as half the second generation at most."
Listening to the conversation of several people, Gu Bei didn't care, and concentrated on preparing for the next activities, after all, Shi Rong was already next, Gu Bei promised Shi Rong before, as long as he didn't go out of line, he would obey Shi Rong's arrangement.
The lottery process is very simple, Gu Bei is a live host, with rhythm, and then draw lots, say some auspicious words, congratulate the winners, and create suspense before the lottery, basically these contents, Gu Beizui is not stupid, but it is not much difficulty, but it is the first time to say so many words on the stage, and he is still holding a megaphone, and there are a few knots in the tongue, but the overall effect is still good.
The audio equipment was also reinstalled, and the lottery interaction came to an end, Gu Bei returned to the backstage again to prepare for the official commercial performance, but he didn't expect this Li Nan to come up again.
