Chapter 39: New Agents and Connections

A Mercedes-Benz van slows down the road.

Looking at the little assistant Ah Zhen's thoughtful appearance, Wang Jinghua mentioned a few more words:

"Ah Zhen, if you want to make a name for yourself in this circle, the most important thing is to learn to look at people, usually observe more, don't look at what people say, the most important thing is to look at what people do......"

"You follow me, the most contact is with celebrities, some are very popular, some are not very good, some are very temperamental, domineering, some are humble and low, only promise ......"

"In short, there are everyone in the circle, when you contact them, you must remember, don't wear a personal subjective filter, and treat every artist you come into contact with as an ordinary person."

"There are also some of them, who are not very popular at the moment, and you can't show a condescending attitude, you have to put everyone in an equal position to communicate, maybe people will suddenly become popular one day, and when you come back to your senses, you may have stood in the position you need to look up......"

"Oh, Aunt Hua, I probably get it."

Wang Jinghua said a lot of earnestly, and the little assistant Ah Zhen nodded abruptly: "It's like Huang Bo, from unknown to popular, only one work is needed." ”

"Aunt Hua, I think Zhou Yutang's potential is higher than Huang Bo's."

"Oh? Why do you think so? ”

"First of all, Huang Bo's business ability is very strong, but his image conditions are limited, although he can only take the route of a powerful actor, and his future development will be limited to a certain extent, and Zhou Yutang's physical condition is too good, and his plasticity is obviously stronger, and his TV series made by himself is really exciting......"

Assistant Ah Zhen seems to be a little enlightened, drawing inferences.

"Figure it out for yourself."

Wang Jinghua didn't comment, just smiled.

Well, Ah Zhen, this girl is quite spiritual, and she deserves to be the second proud disciple she brought out.

The little assistant Ah Zhen's tone was slightly excited: "Aunt Hua, can I take a photo with Zhou Yutang next time, I just received a call from Mr. Wang, and I forgot to mention it." ”

"...... you want"

Wang Jinghua put her hand on her forehead, as if she had thought of something, and turned her head and said, "Later, you can send a message to Xiao Shuang and tell her, the opportunity she is waiting for may come." ”

…………………………

Seeing off Sister Hua, Zhou Yutang sat in the Four Seasons Hall, stirring coffee, and recalling the meeting process.

Overall.

behaved very steadily, even if it was a tactful refusal, it didn't hurt each other's harmony.

Sister Yu's face was also taken care of.

Wang Jinghua is really a character, she took the initiative to throw an olive branch, but was politely rejected by Zhou Yutang, and the expression on her face did not change for half a point.

On the contrary, from the perspective of people who came from a circle, he did not use a didactic tone, but like the position of the elders in the family, he put forward some very pertinent and practical suggestions for Zhou Yutang's career.

Such a friendly gesture made Zhou Yutang inevitably have a good impression of her, and also retained the possibility of cooperation in the future.

Zhou Yutang went out and looked up at the blue sky.

It's really a vanity fair.

Only then did it come to the door, and Cai Yinong and Zeng Jia came to the door one after another, and even Sister Hua did it.

After "I Want to See You" is broadcast on the stars next, I am afraid that more and more brokerage companies will throw olive branches.

If Zhou Yutang has no ambition and just wants to be a star to make money, it is not impossible to choose to sign a contract with Wang Jinghua.

With Sister Hua's ready-made connections, even if the share to the company is subtracted, the income will not be less.

But he wanted more than that.

"It's time to find an agent, too."

Zhou Yutang secretly thought in his heart.

Through the studio, Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio wants to recruit agents, and experience is preferred.

Soon a lot of resumes were collected.

I took a rough look at it and directly screened a large piece.

First of all, men don't.

Secondly, do not be over 35 years old.

It's not about gender and age discrimination, but the most important characteristic of the broker industry is carefulness.

In this regard, women have a natural advantage, and those who are too old will not be able to devote most of their energy to work due to family reasons.

Soon, Zhou Yutang focused on one person.

Li Shuang.

Gender: Female

Age: 30 years old

Experience: A native of Beijing, graduated from the Celestial Empire University of Communication and Communication, majoring in radio and television journalism, he served as the president of the student union of the School of Film and Television Arts during the school, during which he successfully planned and hosted many activities, and studied abroad in South Korea for two years, and began to engage in the artist industry after graduation.

Half a year later, he turned to behind-the-scenes publicity work, and once served as an artist assistant position in Wang Jinghua's team, during which he served as the agent of Hu Jun, Xiao Song Jia and other stars, and left the team of Sister Hua last year and has been unemployed so far.

Proficient skills: proficient in Chinese, English, Korean, French, proficient in makeup skills, and more than seven years of driving experience.

Judging from the resume, this woman named Li Shuang has quite outstanding qualifications.

Not only has he shown his ability in this area since college, but he also has worked with Wang Jinghua, the first agent in the mainland.

Zhou Yutang quickly sent her an interview notice, and screened several alternatives from her resume.

This afternoon.

Li Shuang, who was wearing a simple and capable professional suit, walked into the café with a satchel.

Zhou Yutang sat by the window, sitting upright, with a straight back, and slender fingers replying to mobile phone messages.

Seeing Zhou Yutang's first glance, Li Shuang's eyes lit up.

She knew she had come to the right place, and there was a slight excitement in her eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Li Shuang took the initiative to come up to say hello, and Zhou Yutang also got up and shook hands with her gently, and made a gesture to sit down.

"Hello, I've seen all the situations, and I'm mainly asking you a few questions today."

"OK, excuse me."

Li Shuang, who is handsome, has short ear-length hair and bright eyes.

has an energetic temperament similar to that of a strong woman, which gives Zhou Yutang a bit similar to the younger version of Wang Jinghua.

There were no pleasantries.

Zhou Yutang directly asked the first question: "You were an artist at the beginning, why did you become an agent later?" Don't you think it's a hard job? ”

His eyesight is still quite good.

Although the other party is carrying a bag and wearing a professional suit, it is a niche brand and is not expensive.

But she has a very special temperament, a bit like the feeling of seeing the big world.

is such a girl, she should sit in the office building and drink coffee, instead of being an artist agent who is hard and tired and has no future.

"Originally, I was going to be an artist, but then I received the role of a crew, and the casting guide wanted to subtly rule me."

“......”

The corners of Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked with some curiosity: "Then what?" ”

"And then I quit."

Li Shuang shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "The crew is also over, things are as simple as that." ”

"Later, my family didn't agree with me being an artist, and I personally felt that being a star was boring, but I was very interested in the entertainment industry, so I moved behind the scenes."

"Okay......"

Zhou Yutang nodded thoughtfully.

Let's be honest, put yourself in the boss's shoes.

Zhou Yutang's original intention was to find an agent who could bear hardships and stand hard work.

It's best to be as hard-working as an old scalper......

Li Shuang's conditions are very outstanding, but the impression given to Zhou Yutang is a little different from the expected situation.

"You don't have to worry about anything else, I'm familiar with the artist workflow, and I feel like I'm qualified for the role of agent."

Li Shuang stroked the hair around his ears and showed a hearty smile.

It's all here, and the interview still has to continue.

Zhou Yutang's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and continued to ask, "What do you think an agent does?" ”

"I think it's to help artists manage their time, how to let artists coordinate various announcements in a limited time, which can help artists create greater value, make use of their connections as much as possible, and create conditions to make their artists achieve more benefits...... Probably these are the things that brokers need to do. ”

Li Shuang's train of thought was very clear, and he answered almost without pause.

Zhou Yutang paused his fingers to play with the coffee spoon, and continued to ask: "I have read your resume, it is very eye-catching, and it is completely enough to take up a position in the brokerage department of some large entertainment companies in the industry, why did you choose a small studio like me?" ”

"Do you usually play games? Legend of this kind. ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned: "Play occasionally." ”

"Don't you think the fun of playing Legends lies in fighting monsters and leveling up explosive equipment?"

"You have a point."

"That's what I thought."

Miss Li Shuang shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "I believe in Sister Hua's vision, and I also believe in you, you still have a lot of potential to tap." ”

"You seem to have a good relationship with Sister Hua, so it's convenient to ask, why did you leave Sister Hua's team in the first place?"

"Here's the thing, I played abroad for a while, and after returning to China, I didn't succeed as an artist, and an elder introduced me to work with Sister Hua, and I followed Sister Hua for a few years, and I was already familiar with the basic work process, and I felt that I had connections and the ability to do things on my own......"

Li Shuang replied very frankly: "It just so happens that your studio is recruiting, Sister Hua said that it is a good opportunity, so I will come and have a look." ”

The next two people chatted in the café for more than an hour.

"If there are no problems, we can sign the contract today."

After confirming that this may be a relatively suitable candidate, Zhou Yutang pushed a dessert on the table over, and smiled brightly: "Try the tiramisu here, you girls should like it very much." ”

…………………………

Li Shuang is very refreshing.

The contract was signed on the same day.

A confidentiality clause is included in the contract.

The probationary period is three months.

This also leaves a way out for both sides.

In case this sister doesn't want to play, or her work ability is not enough to do it, then the contract will be automatically terminated, and everyone will get together and disperse.

The agent's matter was quickly confirmed, and Zhou Yutang began to ask her to help deal with some announcements, otherwise he would waste a lot of time just answering the phone and replying to messages every day.

He spent his free time writing scripts.

"I Want to See You" on Hunan Satellite TV is a foregone conclusion, and the next period of time is an important publicity period.

A few days later.

Li Shuang, as Zhou Yutang's agent, brought Zhou Yutang's first heavyweight event announcement "Entertainment Scene" to Zhou Yutang.

"Sister Shuang, do you know anyone from the light?"

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised and a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, the first notice that Li Shuang received from him was quite weighty.

Guangguang Media's "Entertainment Scene" is the first entertainment program of the Celestial Empire, and it is also the most authoritative and comprehensive large-scale entertainment information program that reports the hot trends in the entertainment industry.

There are six major collection sites in Beijing, Magic City, Huadu, Taipei, Xiangjiang and Seoul, which intensively broadcast the most noteworthy entertainment news at the moment, known as the "News Network" of the entertainment industry, and is now broadcast on 158 TV channels, covering hundreds of millions of viewers in most cities across the country!

This program is quite powerful, and it can rank first in the ratings of programs in the same period in most regions, and even has a certain influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Xie Nan, the host of the interview with hot people, is my friend."

Li Shuang took a document that he had sorted out and handed it to Zhou Yutang, and said calmly: "This interview has invited several leading actors from your crew, which can cooperate with the promotion of "I Want to See You" and broadcast the recorded content in several episodes. ”

The hot person interview section is to conduct in-depth dialogues or interviews with the parties involved in the recent hot entertainment news.

This wave of operations is estimated to wait until "I Want to See You" is broadcast on the stars, and then the popularity will rise, and then take advantage of the trend to pull a wave of popularity.

Such an opportunity is in front of him, of course Zhou Yutang will not miss it, and notified Zeng Li, Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun to rush to the recording site of the show at the appointed time.

"Your agent is very good."

Zeng Li followed Yu Tang below and whispered.

can catch the line of light, and can also do an exclusive interview on such a heavyweight entertainment program, this is an opportunity to show his face in front of many audiences, and many stars in the circle are rushing to be on it.

"Sister Shuang does have connections."

Zhou Yutang also nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about whether it was time to sign a formal contract with Sister Shuang.

Judging from the past few days, this sister's ability has nothing to say, and she has a lot of friends in the circle.

Maybe she should learn from the advanced management experience of Mr. Cai, a Tang man, and sign a contract for ten or eight years, so that Sister Shuang can be bound to Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio and contribute her own light and heat to the rise of the studio......

Commissioning is still ongoing at the site.

Zeng Li said a few words to Zhou Yutang, seeing that his expression was calm and not nervous at all, he turned his head and said a few words to Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong.

Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong are still newcomers, and they haven't been on heavyweight entertainment programs yet, Zeng Li is an old-timer, so let's do psychological construction for them in advance and teach them some experience.

"Thank you, Sister Pear."

Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun nodded.

Take a few deep breaths, but it's fine.

I was nervous about being on the show at the beginning, but I also ran a lot of publicity during this time, and my mentality was exercised.

Not to mention Zhou Yutang, it was like going back to his own home, and when he didn't pay attention, he chatted with the cameras and lights on the scene......

Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong were looking at the script and didn't even look at it, they were not surprised by Zhou Yutang's social skills.

Zeng Li also glanced at it, and the whole person choked.

immediately smiled, and there was light in his beautiful eyes.

Anyway, it was really not in vain this day.

Zhou Yutang didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.
