Chapter 266: Senior?
Tang Huan said: "Forget it, it's better not to give one song, don't give them the last song, the province will end up in an uneven song, which will make people hate." It just so happens that my company also has a lot of cameos, so it's good if you just find one in my company. ”
Meng Wen looked at Tang Huan and said with a smile: "You never forget your company." I don't give songs, what can I do to find a celebrity to make a cameo, you can invite me to it?"
Tang Huan's face suddenly became stern, and he said: "Long Shao, I want to correct a problem, my company is about to be integrated, and the company will be ours at that time, and you can't always look at it as an outsider." Besides, this online script is a collaboration between the two of us, what's wrong with me inviting you?"
Meng Wen was told by Tang Huan, and felt that it was really like that, he was about to become a shareholder of Tang Huan's company, but why didn't he have a sense of ownership? But then after hearing Tang Huan's last sentence, Meng Wen no longer dwelled on the previous things, and immediately said: "Okay, then I will leave the matter of the singer's invitation to you." ”
Tang Huan didn't say it, he was interrupted by Meng Wen like this, he held back, saw that Meng Wen was serious, and hurriedly said: "No, Long Shao, I haven't finished talking later, I mean, I'll help you, that's all right, but I'm a little powerless to speak lightly, in fact, Long Shao, who do you want to make a cameo, you can take the initiative to invite." It's also more efficient to go straight to people this way. ”
Meng Wen said: "What's the difference, isn't it all recruiting people under my banner?"
Tang Huan analyzed: "How can it be the same, you take the initiative to invite, so that the invitees will seem to have a sense of face and attention, and they are happy to have a good relationship with you, unless there is really something, otherwise they will not refuse the things that are done with their hands." But you release a gossip like this, first of all, many singers can't tell the truth of the news, and secondly, it's a matter of face, and it's impossible for a really famous singer to post it upside down because of a gossip. Another question is that if a big-name singer really comes, and people come in the name of songs, but after they come, they find that there is no song, do you think what they will think of you?"
Meng Wen understood what Tang Huan meant, but he was still unconvinced: "I have a song, didn't I leave the last one to them?"
Tang Huan said: "What do you do with that song, if you just have one, it's okay to say, what if two or three or more come?"
Meng Wen said: "Didn't you say that there won't be any big-name singers who take the initiative to post upside down? Besides, the news has been released now, and it's too late to take it back." ”
Tang Huan said: "In case, I'm talking about just in case." As for the news you said, that's nothing, it's originally gossip, and fake news is normal. ”
Meng Wen laughed at himself and said, "Are you all like this in the entertainment industry?"
Tang Huan stared at Meng Wen for two or three seconds, and said slowly: "You have to figure out, are you also in the entertainment industry now, and it seems that you are the protagonist in this matter, right?"
Meng Wen was told this by Tang Huan, only to realize that it seemed to be really like Tang Huan said, the protagonist was himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, reached out and picked up a little dish with chopsticks, put it on the plate in front of him, and lowered his head to taste it to hide his embarrassment. While eating, Meng Wen suddenly remembered, looked up and asked Tang Huan, "Then what you said is the truth, why do you want to release the news?"
Tang Huan, who was still a little proud, was speechless when Meng Wen asked a word, if he really wanted to say that this was all what he thought about just now, it was definitely a sarcasm from Meng Wen, he was stunned for a moment, found a reason, and said: "Then I didn't know that you only left one song before." ”
Meng Wen also said the same thing when he heard it, in the final analysis, he still didn't know enough about the entertainment industry. He sighed and said, "Okay, then let's treat it as gossip." ”
In the afternoon, Tang Huan and Meng Wen went to Han Jing's wheat field culture. When he arrived at Wheat Field Culture, Tang Huan told the reception staff about his appointment, and was led to a reception room by a staff member and waited for him. The wait was half an hour, and a quarter of an hour had passed since the scheduled time.
Meng Wen looked at his watch, and felt a little tired of the unpunctuality of the wheat field culture, and said to Tang Huan: "You said that you, the big boss, came in person, and they are still late in their own company, and the scores are quite big." ”
Tang Huan said self-deprecatingly: "In the entertainment industry, it is normal to wait for individuals, you have to learn to get used to it." If you really want a big-name artist, you have to wait for a few hours. I'm the CEO of a small company, and if I say it's good, I'm called the boss, but if it's not good, I'm not as good as an artist in the eyes of others. ”
Meng Wen usually annoys people who are not on time, but now when Tang Huan said this, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slapped the table and said, "Forget it, don't wait." Let's go, I don't believe that without her, I won't be able to perform this online drama anymore?" Meng Wen stood up and walked out.
It was the first time Tang Huan had seen Meng Wen get so angry, to be precise, it was the first time he had seen Meng Wen get angry. But because of this trivial matter, Tang Huan was a little confused, just because it was unreasonable to be angry. However, Tang Huan, who was stunned for a moment, still got up and followed.
The two walked out of the reception room, and met a man who came in a hurry in the hall, with a big belly, wearing a suit and leather shoes, crossed Meng Wen, walked directly to Tang Huan, stretched out his hands, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Tang, the company has a temporary meeting, so you have been waiting for a long time." I'm Liu Xuan from the brokerage department. ”
Mr. Tang looked at Liu Xuan in a hurry, it seemed that something was really wrong, but since people could take the initiative to apologize, it showed that there was still some sincerity. Tang Huan said politely: "It's okay, you wait a minute." Tang Huan let go of Liu Xuan's hand, hurried two steps, grabbed Meng Wen, and whispered: "Okay, people have also apologized, maybe something is really wrong." There's no need to stiffen over such a trivial matter. ”
Meng Wen also knew that it was not good to go like this, but he was inexplicably angry in his heart. This time, it was Tang Huan who dragged his relationship to get in touch, and it was not good for Tang Huan to explain to his friend if he left so rashly, thinking of this, Meng Wen nodded a little reluctantly, turned around and followed Tang Huan back.
Liu Xuan saw Tang Huan walk out of the conference room from afar, and knew that Tang Huan was impatient to wait, although Liu Xuan didn't think it would be a big deal if he was late, but based on basic politeness, Liu Xuan still took the initiative to apologize. Now I saw that Tang Huan actually took the initiative to come forward to persuade the young boy who was ignored by him just now, yes, it was a boy.
Looking at Tang Huan's attitude towards the young boy, Liu Xuan also realized that he seemed to have mistaken the protagonist, and wondered in his heart that such a young boy could have anything worthy of Tang Huan's stuttering? But apart from the second generation of officials, Liu Xuan really couldn't think of any other suitable reason.
Liu Xuan still hadn't realized Meng Wen's identity, but this didn't hinder Liu Xuan's attitude. Liu Xuan didn't wait for Tang Huan and the two to come forward, but took the initiative to turn around and greet him, which is why Liu Xuan doesn't have much talent, let alone appearance, but as a grassroots identity, he can mix in the position of the head of the artist management department and be in charge of all new artists in the company. As for those big-name artists, Liu Xuan's identity as the person in charge is purely responsible and responsible for others.
"Hello, I'm sorry. Something was delayed just now. Liu Xuan explained to Meng Wen again, then looked at Tang Huan and said, "Who is this?"
Tang Huan said: "Ah, Manager Liu, you haven't had time to introduce you yet, this is Long Shao, Yonglong." ”
When Liu Xuan heard this, his originally smiling face instantly froze, and then he immediately changed to another respectful and sincere demeanor, took the initiative to reach out and hold Meng Wen's hand, and said, "Oh, hello Long Shao, hello." I've always heard of Long Shao's name, but today I saw the real face, what a hero out of a young man. ”
"Hello. Meng Wen said expressionlessly.
Liu Xuan didn't care about Meng Wen's coldness at all, it was normal for a talented young man to have a bit of a temperament, so he asked tentatively: "I'm really sorry to see it, why don't we go to the conference room first?"
Meng Wen nodded, and followed Tang Huan and Liu Xuan towards the conference room just now. Meng Wen didn't speak, and Tang Huan and Liu Xuan greeted each other. Liu Xuan's mood was not calm, and while greeting Tang Huan, he was thinking about the purpose of the two.
Tang Huan contacted him before, saying that he wanted to cooperate with his company's artists and borrow people, which is a normal thing in the entertainment industry. Because Tang Huan's Tianxing Entertainment is only a medium-sized company, Liu Xuan doesn't pay much attention to it, generally this kind of company cooperates with artists from its own company, basically for itself, and it is normal for him to take care of it himself.
But now with the arrival of Meng Wen, the situation has changed a little, although his company has been very passive by Meng Wen during this time, the company has postponed several album listing reports this month, and many singers within the company are itching with hatred when they mention Meng Wen.
But Liu Xuan knew that except for Pei Zheng, who was constantly suppressed by Meng Wen and fell out of the crooked dog list because of his songs, he may really hate Meng Wen, and everyone else was jealous. If they could really get in touch with Meng Wen, they would have begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother to slap Meng Wen, and the fool would hate him.
As for Liu Xuan, he has always had a normal attitude towards Meng Wen, and he will not hate Meng Wen because Meng Wen inadvertently suppressed his company's artists. On the contrary, Liu Xuan has always been grateful to Meng Wen in his heart.
As for the reason, it involves the struggle for power and profit within the company, the agent of the singer Pei Zheng, who was suppressed by Meng Wen, is called Zhao Bin, who has always been at odds with Liu Xuan, and secretly wants to compete for the position of Liu Xuan's person in charge. Because Pei Zheng was identified by the company as a singer who will focus on packaging in the next few years, as Pei Zheng's agent, Zhao Bin is also rising in the company's status, and he doesn't take Liu Xuan, the department manager, more and more seriously, and even Pei Zheng, a newcomer who has not been in the company for a few years, dares to go against Liu Xuan.
However, Zhao Bin, the manager of the artist agency department, is both big and small. For those newcomers who are not well-known at the beginning, they are all respectful to Zhao Bin. Once the singer becomes famous, he is still polite to Liu Xuan with a good heart, and those with a bad heart begin to rise to the sky one by one. Now that the company has listed Pei Zheng as a newcomer to focus on building in the next few years, Liu Xuan really doesn't dare to do anything to him.
Pei Zheng is also becoming more and more arrogant in the company, and he has not really begun to become famous, so he is a big brother of a star. This time, Pei Zheng's title song "Crying" occupied the first place on the crooked dog recommendation list as soon as it came out, which made Pei Zheng and Zhao Bin indispensable, and they wanted to get the first place in the crooked dog annual list with their mouths closed, and they didn't even pay attention to the new song list.
It's a pity that Pei Zheng hasn't been proud for a few days, Meng Wen directly filmed Pei Zheng with a new song, and then he shot all the way to the end, not to mention the first place in the song of the year, even the tenth place is not played. Don't look at the fact that you can barely stay in the rankings now, there are still eight months before the Chinese New Year, and it will be a matter of time before you go down.
Thinking of this, Liu Xuan glanced at Meng Wen, who was expressionless next to him, and realized that maybe this was a good opportunity for him. If he can take the opportunity to get in touch with Meng Wen, then who will dare to offend himself by those artists in the department in the future. Think about Zhao Xinming of Universal Music, isn't a director who has just gotten acquainted with Meng Wen, and it is said that he has to be promoted to vice president now, which is really a real high-level executive, and there are shares to be paid at the end of the year.
If he can have a good relationship with Meng Wen and sit firmly in the position of department manager, it will not be a piece of cake, thinking of his future promotion and fortune, Liu Xuan couldn't help but smirk.
When Tang Huan saw Liu Xuan saying this to him, he actually burst into his senses, looked like a smirk, and couldn't help but raise his tone. "Manager Liu, what are you?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Liu Xuan came to his senses and saw that he had arrived at the reception room, so he hurriedly changed the topic, stretched out one hand, and said, "That Mr. Tang, please first." ”
"Manager Liu, please. Tang Huan stopped and said politely. It's a pity that Meng Wen, who has been side by side with Tang Huan, didn't notice that Tang Huan would stop, the two suddenly stopped, Meng Wen directly crossed the door and walked in, took a step, only to find that both of them were stunned at the door and looked at him, Meng Wen also realized that his behavior was a little inappropriate, but then he thought of his previous waiting, withdrew his gaze, stopped, continued to move, and walked directly to the position he had just placed and sat down. Liu Xuan and Tang Huan glanced at each other, laughed out loud, and walked in.
After the three of them sat down, Tang Huan and Liu Xuan were thinking about how to start, Meng Wen was too lazy to ink with Liu Xuan, and came up and said: "Manager Liu, I am preparing to shoot an online drama recently, and I need your company Han Jing to make a cameo appearance in my role in the play, and also sing one of the theme songs I wrote for the online drama, how do you feel?"
Liu Xuan was stunned by Meng Wen's straightforwardness, and quickly analyzed the meaning of Meng Wen's words in his mind, and asked with some surprise: "Long Shao, you mean that you want Han Jing to sing the new song you wrote." ”
Meng Wen glanced at Liu Xuan, nodded, and said, "To be exact, it is Han Jing who wants to make a guest appearance in my online drama, and I will hand over the new song to her." I just wanted to ask her if she had the time and if she would like to?"
Liu Xuan's heart blossomed happily, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, of course I am willing." "As long as Han Jing got Meng Wen's new song this time, then whether Meng Wen took the initiative to find Han Jing, happened to find himself or Meng Wen who found himself, this credit company will be counted on his head.
Meng Wen saw Liu Xuan's excited and impatient appearance, and felt a little strange in his heart, even if the songs he wrote were really good, this Liu Xuan was a person in charge, so he didn't have to be so impatient. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Meng Wen frowned and glanced at Tang Huan.
Tang Huan said with a clear heart: "That Manager Liu, do you need to call Han Jing or her agent to come over and talk face-to-face." ”
Liu Xuan was told by Tang Huan that he was a little anxious, and said, "Yes, yes, you look at me, I'm a little too excited, then I'll go and find Han Jing." You sit down first. After Liu Xuan finished speaking, he got up and walked out quickly. In fact, Liu Xuan could have called the assistant to call Han Jing, and the reason why Liu Xuan went in person was to communicate with the above, at least to report this matter to the above.
At this time, being able to cooperate with Meng Wen not only involves the stability of his position and proper operation, but also a powerful response to the company's current scandal with Meng Wen. Although this is not within the scope of one's own responsibility, and one of the credit may be shared by others, it will undoubtedly leave an impression at the top that understands the overall situation, which cannot be exchanged for any amount of money.
While Liu Xuan went to find Han Jing, he called Guan Xiujie, the director of Maitian, who usually had a good relationship with him, and mentioned Meng Wen's visit. Liu Xuan hung up the phone and felt a little excited, he really made the right bet this time.
The only mistake may be that he was late, and he had to rely on his sincerity to resolve the injustice in Meng Wen's heart. Liu Xuan first found Han Jing's agent Zhu Wenting, learned that Han Jing hurriedly went to the practice room in the practice room, found Han Jing, and asked Han Jing to go with him without saying a word.
After Liu Xuan finished instructing, he asked casually: "By the way, Han Jing, have you seen Long Shao before, why did he come to the company to look for you by name?"
Han Jing whispered: "We met when we had a good idea competition, and he was my senior. ”
Liu Xuan and Han Jing's agent Zhu Wenting asked in surprise, "Yonglong is your senior?"
"College senior?" Liu Xuan asked again.
Han Jing saw her manager and Zhu Wenting stop, looked at her in surprise, and nodded a little scared. Zhu Wenting saw Han Jing nodding, and said with some excitement and some blame: "It's really your senior, why haven't I heard you say it before, you said that this kid doesn't know how to take advantage of such a good relationship." On the way back to the reception room, Liu Xuan gave a general explanation of the situation, and at the same time instructed Han Jing to talk less and look longer when he went to the reception room.
After Liu Xuan finished instructing, he asked casually: "By the way, Han Jing, have you seen Long Shao before, why did he come to the company to look for you by name?"
Han Jing whispered: "We met when we had a good idea competition, and he was my senior. ”
Liu Xuan and Han Jing's agent Zhu Wenting asked in surprise, "Yonglong is your senior?"
"College senior?" Liu Xuan asked again.
Han Jing saw her manager and Zhu Wenting stop, looked at her in surprise, and nodded a little scared. Zhu Wenting saw Han Jing nodding, and said with some excitement and some blame: "It's really your senior, why haven't I heard you say it before, you said that this kid doesn't know how to take advantage of such a good relationship." ”
