Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle was driving slowly on the road.

Seeing the assistant Ah Zhen's thoughtful look, Wang Jinghua added a few words:

"Azhen, if you want to make a name for yourself in this circle, the most important thing is to learn to look at people. You should observe more. Don't look at what people say, but the most important thing is to look at what they do."

"Follow me. The people you come into contact with the most are celebrities. Some are very popular, some are not so good. Some have a big temper and are domineering, while some are humble and submissive..."

"In short, there are all kinds of people in the circle. When you contact them, you must remember not to use personal subjective filters, but treat every artist you come into contact with as an ordinary person."

"Also, some of them are not very popular yet. You can't show a condescending attitude. You have to put everyone on an equal footing to communicate. Maybe one day they will suddenly become popular. Wait for your return. When you think about it, you may already be in the position you need to look up to."

"Oh, Aunt Hua, I probably understand."

Wang Jinghua said a lot of words with sincerity, and the assistant Ah Zhen nodded with some confusion: "Just like Huang Bo, from being unknown to becoming famous, he only needs one work."

"Aunt Hua, I think Zhou Yutang has higher potential than Huang Bo."

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

"First of all, Huang Bo has strong business ability, but limited image conditions. He can only take the route of a powerful actor, and his future development will be subject to certain restrictions. However, Zhou Yutang's physical conditions are too good and his plasticity is obviously stronger. He made his own TV series , it’s really wonderful.”

Assistant A-Zhen seemed to be enlightened and drew inferences from one instance to another.

"You figure it out for yourself."

Wang Jinghua didn't comment, just smiled.

Well, Ah Zhen is a very spiritual girl, and she deserves to be the second most proud disciple she brought out.

Assistant A Zhen said with a slightly excited tone: "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."

"up to you"

Wang Jinghua put her hand on her forehead, as if thinking of something, she turned around and said, "Send a message to Xiaoshuang later and tell her that the opportunity she has been waiting for may come."

……………………

After sending Sister Hua away, Zhou Yutang sat in the Four Seasons Hall, stirring the coffee and recalling the meeting.

In general.

They acted very calmly, and even if they refused politely, they did not hurt each other's harmony.

Sister Yu’s face was also taken care of.

Wang Jinghua is really a character. She offered her an olive branch, but Zhou Yutang declined it politely without changing the look on her face.

On the contrary, from the perspective of someone who has been in the same circle, he did not use a preaching tone, but rather from the perspective of an elder in the family, and 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 future cooperation.

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

It is indeed a vanity fair.

Just then, Cai Yinong and Zeng Jia came to the door one after another, and even Sister Hua took action.

After "Want to Meet You" is aired on the next star, I am afraid that more and more brokerage companies will offer olive branches.

If Zhou Yutang has no ambitions and just wants to be a star and make money, it might be a good idea to sign a contract with Wang Jinghua.

With Sister Hua's existing connections, even if she subtracts her share of the company, she will still earn a lot.

But he wanted something more than that.

"It's time to find an agent."

Zhou Yutang thought to himself.

Through the studio, it was revealed that Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio is recruiting agents, and those with industry experience are preferred.

I quickly received a lot of resumes.

After reading it roughly, I screened out a large piece of it.

First of all, men don’t want it.

Secondly, no one over 35 years old.

This is not about gender or age discrimination, but the most important characteristic of the brokerage industry is carefulness.

At this point, women have a natural advantage. Those who are too old will not be able to devote most of their energy to work due to family reasons.

Soon, Zhou Yutang highlighted one person.

Li Shuang.

Gender: Female

Age: 30 years old

Experience: A native of Beijing, he graduated from Tianchao University of Communication with a major in radio and television journalism. During his schooling, he served as the chairman of the student union of the School of Film and Television Arts. During this period, he successfully planned and hosted many events. He studied abroad as an exchange student in South Korea for two years. After graduation, he started working in the artist industry.

Half a year later, he switched to behind-the-scenes publicity work. He once worked as an artist assistant in Wang Jinghua's team. During this period, he served as the agent for celebrities such as Hu Jun and Xiao Songjia. He resigned from Huajie's team last year and has been unemployed ever since.

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

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

Not only has he demonstrated his ability in this area since college, but he also has work experience working with Wang Jinghua, the number one agent in the Mainland.

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

This afternoon.

Li Shuang, wearing a simple and smart professional suit, walked into the cafe carrying a satchel.

Zhou Yutang was sitting by the window, with an upright posture, back straight, and long fingers replying to messages on his mobile phone.

Li Shuang's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Yutang for the first time.

She knew she had come to the right place, and her eyes shone with excitement.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

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

"Hello, I've seen the situation, and I mainly want to ask you a few questions today."

"OK, please ask."

Li Shuang has a delicate appearance, with short ear-length hair and bright eyes.

She has an energetic temperament similar to that of a strong woman, which makes Zhou Yutang feel a bit like a younger version of Wang Jinghua.

No pleasantries were exchanged.

Zhou Yutang asked the first question directly: "You were an artist at first, why did you switch to an agent later? Don't you think this is a hard profession?"

His eyesight is quite good.

Although the bag the other party was carrying and the professional suit he was wearing were from niche brands, they were not expensive.

But she has a very special temperament, a bit like she has seen the big world.

A girl like this should be sitting in an office building drinking coffee instead of working as an artist manager, a career that is hard, tiring and has no future.

"Originally, I planned to be an artist, but then I got a role in a film crew, and the casting guide wanted to leave it to me."

"."

Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked curiously: "What next?"

"Then I quit."

Li Shuang shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "The crew is finished too, it's just that simple."

"Later, my family didn't allow me to be an artist. I personally felt that being a star was boring, but I was very interested in the entertainment industry, so I switched to working behind the scenes."

"All right."

Zhou Yutang nodded thoughtfully.

To be honest, think about it from the boss’s perspective.

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

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

Li Shuang's conditions were outstanding, but the impression he gave Zhou Yutang was somewhat different from what he expected.

"You don't have to worry about anything else. I'm familiar with the artist's workflow, and I think I'm qualified for the position of manager."

Li Shuang smoothed his hair beside his ears and showed a hearty smile.

Even though you are here, the interview still has to go on.

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically and continued to ask: "What do you think an agent does?"

"I think it helps artists with time management, how to coordinate various announcements in a limited time, which can help artists create greater value, make use of their personal relationships as much as possible, and create conditions for their own success. For artists to make more profits, this is probably what managers need to do."

Li Shuang's thinking was very clear and he answered with almost no pause.

Zhou Yutang paused while playing with the coffee spoon with his fingers, and continued to ask: "I have seen your resume. It is very eye-catching. It is fully qualified to hold positions in the agency departments of some large entertainment companies in the industry. Why did you choose a small studio like mine?" ?”

"Do you usually play games? Legends."

"ah?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly startled: "I play occasionally."

"Don't you think the fun of playing Legend lies in defeating monsters, leveling up and exploding equipment?"

"What you said makes sense."

"I thought so."

Miss Li Shuang shrugged her shoulders and said with a casual smile: "I believe in Sister Hua's vision, and I believe in you. You still have a lot of potential that can be tapped."

"You and Sister Hua seem to have a good relationship. May I ask why you resigned from Sister Hua's team in the first place?"

"The thing is like this. I was playing abroad for a while and failed to become an artist after returning to China. An elder introduced me to work with Sister Hua. I followed Sister Hua for several years and I was already familiar with the basic work process. I felt that I had People with connections also have the ability to do things on their own.”

Li Shuang answered frankly: "Your studio happened to be hiring, and Sister Hua said it was a good opportunity, so I came over to take a look."

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

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

After confirming that this might be a relatively suitable candidate, Zhou Yutang pushed a dessert on the table over with a bright smile: "Try the tiramisu here, you girls will probably like it very much."

……………………

Li Shuang was very happy.

The contract was signed that day.

The contract included a confidentiality clause.

The trial period is three months.

This also leaves a way out for both sides.

If this girl doesn't want to play anymore, or if she's not competent enough at work, then the contract will be automatically terminated so that everyone can get together and part ways.

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

He just used the time he had spared to write scripts.

"Want to Meet You" is a foregone conclusion on Hunan Satellite TV, and the following period is an important publicity period.

A few days later.

As Zhou Yutang's manager, Li Shuang brought Zhou Yutang his first heavyweight event announcement "Entertainment Live".

"Sister Shuang, do you know anyone from Guangguang?"

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

Unexpectedly, the first announcement Li Shuang received for him was quite important.

Enlight Media's "Entertainment Live" is China's first entertainment program and is currently the most authoritative and comprehensive large-scale entertainment information program that reports on hot topics in the entertainment industry.

There are six collection stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Huadu, Taipei, Xiangjiang, and Seoul, which intensively broadcast the most noteworthy entertainment news at the moment. It is known as the "News Network" in the entertainment industry and is currently broadcast on 158 TV channels. Complete coverage of hundreds of millions of viewers in most cities across the country!

This program is quite powerful. It ranks first in the ratings of programs at the same time in most regions. It even has a certain influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Xie Nan, the host of Guangguang's interview with hot figures, is my friend."

Li Shuang handed a document he had compiled to Zhou Yutang and said calmly: "We have invited several leading actors from your crew for this exclusive interview. We can coordinate with the promotion of "Want to Meet You" and broadcast the recorded content in several installments."

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

This wave of operations is probably to wait until the popularity of "Want to Meet You" rises after it is aired on the star, and then take advantage of the trend to attract a wave of popularity.

With such an opportunity in front of him, Zhou Yutang certainly would not miss it. He notified Zeng Li, Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun and rushed to the show recording site at the appointed time.

"Your agent is very powerful."

Zeng Li followed Yu Tang and whispered.

Being able to catch the spotlight and being interviewed on such a heavyweight entertainment program is an opportunity to appear in front of a large audience. Many celebrities in the industry are vying to be on it.

"Sister Shuang does have connections."

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

Judging from the past few days, this sister's ability is beyond words and she has many friends in the circle.

Maybe we should learn from the advanced management experience of Mr. Cai from the Tang Dynasty, sign a contract for ten years and eight years, let Sister Shuang be bound to Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio, and contribute her light and enthusiasm to the rise of the studio.

Debugging is still going on at the site.

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

Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong are both newcomers and have not appeared on any heavyweight entertainment programs yet. Zeng Li is an old-timer, so we should help them with their psychological development in advance and impart some experience.

"Thank you, Sister Li."

Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun nodded.

After taking a few deep breaths, it was okay.

I was still nervous when I first started going on the show, but I also ran a lot of promotions during this period, and my mentality has been tempered.

Not to mention Zhou Yutang, it was as if he had returned to his own home. Without noticing, he was talking to the cameras and lights at the scene.

Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong were reading the script without even looking at it. They were already accustomed to Zhou Yutang's social skills.

Zeng Li glanced and choked up.

Immediately she smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes shining.

Anyway, I really didn’t talk in vain today.

Zhou Yutang did not expect an unexpected gain.

Thanks for the 1000 reward for liking Yang Chaoyue
