"It is undeniable that everything I have now is related to the big platform of Huayi. But if Huayi's platform was not big enough, I wouldn't have chosen Huayi, right? Over the years, there are many companies that have hired me with high salaries, either overtly or covertly. But I thought that Huayi had always treated me well, and what I got from Huayi was not too little, so I decided against it.
I can only say that Huayi and I have achieved mutual success. I have nothing to say to Huayi. How much I get is related to how much I pay. If Mr. Cheng is dissatisfied with my work or thinks that I am taking too much, he can reduce my resources. I have no opinion. "Guo Hong said.
Not only can you do whatever you want if you have talent, you can also do whatever you want if you have ability. Ability is Guo Hong's confidence, and it also allows her to be neither humble nor overbearing when facing Cheng Kun, the director of entertainment giant Huayi, and not to be trembling like some people.
The worst thing is to change the platform.
And this kind of thing has indeed happened again. Some people above felt that she, as an agent, took too much and had too many resources to dispatch, so they cut her resources and supported others to take over.
But the people who support me are not up to expectations!
With the same resources in her hands, she might have promoted a first-tier artist, but the people supported by the company would have trouble promoting even a second-tier artist. This is a huge difference. Capital will not be in conflict with interests, so after a period of time, those resources returned to her hands.
"Is that what I mean? Guo Hong, I just want you to correct your attitude and think more about the problem from the company's perspective. With Chen Xueqi's good external conditions, what's wrong with letting her go to a cocktail party? I didn't let her Let her sleep with her," Cheng Kun emphasized.
"Let other people do the accompanying work. I brought Chen Xueqi into the company. I promised Chen Xueqi's parents before that I would not force Chen Xueqi to do anything she doesn't want to do. Let me reiterate, in order to Chen Xueqi's conditions, as long as the company is willing to provide resources, the benefits it can bring to the company may not be any worse than letting Chen Xueqi go drink with her.
But I just can’t figure it out. It’s okay that the company has been refusing to give Chen Xueqi resources. I just used my connections to arrange a song for Chen Xueqi, and the company is still obstructing me. Why? "Guo Hong said.
"Guo Hong, I think you need to clarify one thing. Your so-called connections are actually based on your status as Huayi's gold medal agent. Others value this status if they want to give you face.
I don't deny your ability, but aside from this identity, your connections are not worth mentioning. So naturally there is no such thing as using your own connections to book songs for Chen Xueqi.
After all, you are still using the company's resources, including the resources you found for Chen Xueqi before. They are all the company's resources. Those people or companies have more or less business cooperation with the company. Therefore, there is no problem that the company is unwilling to give Chen Xueqi resources.
Chen Xueqi's lack of resources is her own fault. She is unwilling to contribute to the company, so she will naturally receive fewer resources than those who are willing to contribute to the company. Otherwise it would be unfair to others. "Cheng Kun said.
"What do you mean by co-writing, does my personal relationship count as the company's resources? Many of the resources I found for Chen Xueqi are my personal relationships. They are my college classmates, and they have no business cooperation with the company." Guo Hong said.
"Of course that doesn't count. The question is, how many personal relationships do you have that can support Chen Xueqi's popularity as a second-tier singer?" Cheng Kun asked.
"..." Guo Hong was speechless.
"Guo Hong, I'm still saying that, as long as Chen Xueqi is willing to cooperate with the company's activities, nothing will be a problem. Personally, I am very optimistic about Chen Xueqi, but what the company needs is obedient people, people who are willing to grow with the company."
"You can participate in other activities, but forget about cocktail parties and dinners," Guo Hong said.
"...Why are you so stubborn? In the past, it was okay for Chen Xueqi to have no scandals. Now that she can fall in love with other men, what's the point of letting her attend a cocktail party or something like that?"
"Can it be the same? Falling in love is personal freedom, and cocktail parties are public relations. Can they be confused?" Guo Hong said.
"Why can't they be lumped together? They are all in contact with men."
"Then let me put it another way, are you willing to let your wife have contact with other men?" Guo Hong quipped. She naturally knew that talking to her boss like this would not bring good results, but she still couldn't help but taunted her. Because he felt that Cheng Kun's statement was a bit disrespectful to women, as if women's chastity was not precious at all.
"presumptuous!"
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just making a metaphor." Guo Hong pretended to be innocent.
"...It seems I can't make sense to you."
"Anyway, let's forget about letting Chen Xueqi attend the cocktail party. If Mr. Cheng has nothing else, I'll go and get busy first?" Guo Hong said goodbye. He originally wanted to win for Chen Xueqi's top ten hits, but now it seems There is no need to fight for this.
The words are not speculative.
"Wait, take the photo away and do Chen Xueqi's work. I bought the photo this time and the paparazzi bribed it, but I don't want it to happen again." Cheng Kun said.
"I will definitely do the work. As for whether Chen Xueqi listens or not, it's her business. Again, love belongs to personal freedom and has nothing to do with other people. There is no provision in the contract signed between the company and her that prohibits her from falling in love. ." After Guo Hong finished speaking, she nodded to Cheng Kun and went downstairs.
Cheng Kun was so angry that he threw the cup on the table to the ground.
He felt that Guo Hong was becoming more and more presumptuous now and almost completely ignored him as the director.
But after getting angry, Cheng Kun was still helpless. He really couldn't do anything to Guo Hong. The only way he can manipulate Guo Hong is to reduce the resources in Guo Hong's hands.
But it's not like this kind of thing has never been done before, but everyone else is Adou and can't help him. Reducing the resources Guo Hong can control is inconsistent with the interests of the company.
Furthermore, he was also afraid that after taking back Guo Hong's rights, Guo Hong would jump ship directly.
Guo Hong's abilities are too strong. His public relations ability and business ability are top-notch among all agents. Such a person always smells good wherever he goes. And Guo Hong is not an artist. Her liquidated damages are only tens of millions. If she wants to change jobs, there are many companies willing to pay her liquidated damages.
With all this going on, he really couldn't do anything to Guo Hong.
"Hey!" Cheng Kun sighed. There are still too few gold medal agents, even fewer than Qu’s father, they are rare. If Huayi had another golden agent, why would he be so timid?
...
On the other side, Guo Hong went downstairs and returned to her office. After seeing Chen Xueqi, her face looked a little serious.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xueqi was stunned.
"Qiqi, answer me an honest question. You told me before that you don't want to get married before you are thirty, you just want to be busy with your career. Are you serious?" Guo Hong asked.
"Definitely." Chen Xueqi said without hesitation.
"Then why are you suddenly in love?"
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"Uh-huh! You're still denying it at this point, look what this is?" Guo Hong said, placing a stack of photos in front of Chen Xueqi.
Chen Xueqi was happy when she saw it.
Isn't this a photo of her and Wang Xuan when they were shopping together that day? Needless to say, the photo was quite beautiful. The angles are chosen very well, and the word "professional" is revealed everywhere.
"Who are these two? I think that woman is quite beautiful and has my style." Chen Xueqi said.
"Of course you have your style, because that's you. Okay, Qiqi, why didn't I realize that you had this ability before? Now that you are in love, you are good at telling lies." Guo Hong also said Happy.
"...Okay, you recognized this."
"Come on, it's just you, I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes. You are also very powerful, and you have done a good job of keeping secrets. I didn't even know you were in love under my nose. If it weren't for being secretly photographed by the paparazzi, I would still be blinded. It’s in the dark.” Guo Hong complained.
"Isn't this under your nose?" Chen Xueqi said.
Guo Hong was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly took a breath: "You haven't been under my eyes during this period of time, does that mean you fell in love during this period of time?"
Chen Xueqi said nothing and acquiesced.
"Who is your boyfriend? Do I know him?" Guo Hong was curious.
"We should be considered acquaintances," Chen Xueqi said.
"Should? What does it mean? If you know it, you know it. If you don't know it, you don't know it..." Guo Hong said.
"You have never met him in real life, but he is very famous online, so you must have heard of him."
"Oh! He's still an Internet celebrity. I didn't expect that a cabbage that I raised well would be taken away by an Internet celebrity just because of a moment of negligence." Guo Hong was speechless.
Is Wang Xuan considered an Internet celebrity? It should be counted. Aren't there catchphrases like "Wang Xuan YYDS" and "Wang Xuan Niucha" that often appear on the Internet? So Chen Xueqi just curled her lips and said nothing.
"So who is he?"
"I'll introduce you to him if I have a chance in the future." Chen Xueqi said.
She actually didn't mind that Guo Hong knew that her boyfriend was Wang Xuan, but she didn't want Guo Hong to ask Wang Xuan to sing. If Guo Hong knew that her boyfriend was Wang Xuan, she would definitely make a date with Wang Xuan, because it would be a waste to leave resources like Wang Xuan unused.
But Chen Xueqi has her own ideas. Before getting married, she hoped to keep her relationship with Wang Xuan pure. After getting married, you don't need to worry so much.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. Qiqi, tell me what you think."
"What do you think?" Chen Xueqi asked.
"You said you didn't want to get married before you were thirty, and you said it was true, but what about falling in love now?" Guo Hong said.
"I still have this idea, but there is no conflict between not wanting to get married and falling in love. Don't worry, I won't affect my work." Chen Xueqi said.
"Come on, I'm a veteran. I said I wanted to take the Ph.D. exam back then, but ended up falling in love. I spent all day in love, so why do I have any thoughts about studying for a Ph.D.? I advise you to think about it carefully. You are in your golden age now. . Falling in love will definitely have an impact. In the entertainment industry, it is also taboo for celebrities to fall in love, especially a beautiful female star like you."
"It doesn't matter. What I want is just pure fans, the kind of fans who like me because I'm beautiful, but don't follow me because I'm in love, or even smear me. I don't need it. Another thing, Sister Hong, I don't actually I don’t mind the exposure of our relationship, and my boyfriend doesn’t mind the exposure either, so if paparazzi takes photos of us in the future, you don’t need to help with our public relations,” Chen Xueqi said.
"...It seems that you are determined. Okay, then I won't advise you. After all, I am not a bad person, and I can't do anything to beat the mandarin ducks. I will continue to help you contact resources, and the company will Don't think about it," Guo Hong said.
Chen Xueqi was stunned: "Sister Hong, are you still helping me find resources? I thought you were going to give up on me. After all, a disobedient artist like me..."
"What are you thinking about?" Guo Hong said and gave Chen Xueqi a chestnut.
"pain!"
"It's okay if it hurts. Who told you to think so wildly? I brought you into the industry, how could I give up on you? Anyway, please give me some credit. Because of your problem, the relationship between me and the director was very tense just now."
"But I no longer want to stay in such a company. But even if I leave, I will leave with pride, not now." Chen Xueqi said.
"That's right. If you leave now, you are just a despondent loser who is dispensable to the company. Only when you prove yourself and then leave will the company know how distressed it is. In fact, I haven't been at Huayi for a long time. When the time comes, we will leave together." Guo Hong said.
"No, Sister Hong, it's not necessary, is it? You are enjoying your stay at Huayi, so there is no need to leave with me." Chen Xueqi said.
"It's not because of you. In fact, I have reached the end of my career at Huayi. I earn a lot of money, but there is no room for improvement. It's time to jump out. It's better to move the dead to the living. Anyway, let's talk about it when the time comes." Guo Hong said.
"By the way, Qiqi, how are you doing practicing "Cross Fire" now? You'll be competing in a few days."
"Don't worry, it won't be a problem to cope with an entertainment competition. It'll be up to me then." Chen Xueqi said confidently, "By the way, Sister Hong, I'm back to the Magic City. Anyway, the company should treat me coldly now. There’s no point in me staying here.”
"Go back, go back, I know you want to go back to see your lover."
"No." Chen Xueqi blushed.
...
On the other side, Wang Xuan, who had just finished the "King of Masked Singer" competition, received a call from Wang Gui as soon as he returned to the Magic City. Wang Gui was previously in charge of collecting theme songs for the National Day Organizing Committee, but Wang Xuan did not know his specific position.
Now that the National Day has passed, what does Wang Gui want to do with him? Wang Xuan was a little curious and answered the phone.
"Good evening, Teacher Wang Xuan. I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"By the way, Brother Gui's phone call will not disturb you at any time. Also, I told you not to call me Teacher Wang Xuan, just call me Wang Xuan, or you can just call me my lifelong brother. Anyway, if you If you call me Teacher Wang Xuan again, I will not answer your calls in the future." Wang Xuan said.
"Okay, then I'll call you Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan, I actually have something to ask you this time. Next month is the annual music festival award ceremony of the Music Chart. I think you should know it, right? Look at me, Isn’t this nonsense? You have won the Best Lyrics, Best Composition and Best Arrangement awards, how could you not know.”
"It's not a prize, it's just a finalist."
"No, it's not a finalist, it's a win. These three awards must be yours, no one can take them away. Hehe, I have inside information. I forgot to tell you, I am actually the person in charge of the Music Chart." Wang Gui said.
"Brother Gui is awesome! But is it really okay for you to leak the news like this?"
"Come on, who am I to leak information? Who in the industry doesn't know that this year's best lyrics, composers, and arrangers are all yours? Who dares to be dissatisfied? If not, let him compose an epoch-making song first."
"Okay. So Brother Gui shouldn't be looking for me just to tell me the news, right?"
"Of course not, I'm not that free yet. That's it, Wang Xuan, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Music Chart. Over the past 30 years, Chinese music has not been too easy. After discussion, we have decided to recruit a group of A commemorative theme song, and when the music festival is over, invite all the participating singers to come on stage and sing this song on the same stage. I thought of you immediately, after all, you are a professional in theme songs. What do you think, are you interested?"
When Wang Xuan heard this, he immediately thought of a song. It's that song that some of the stars may not be able to sing.
"By the way, I almost forgot to remind you that there are people from Xiangjiang and Taiwan coming to participate in this music festival, so it is best for this song to be a Cantonese song. Another thing, this theme song was collected by an official organization. The price is definitely not comparable to the songs you compose for others, it’s probably around 5 million.”
"Price is not an issue. With our relationship, as long as you ask, let alone 5 million, it doesn't matter if it's free. It's just Cantonese songs. Some singers may not know Cantonese, right?" Wang Xuan said, in fact, the song he just thought of It’s also a Cantonese song, which fits the bill quite well.
"No problem. There is still a month before the music festival. Can we let them rehearse in advance? The main reason is that some of the singers in Xiangjiang are really poor in Mandarin. This cannot be done in rehearsal. As for Cantonese, we only need to use Chinese homophones Translation is not a problem at all.”
"It's so high!" Wang Xuan praised.
In fact, in another time and space, many people did the same thing. Some great masters have translated Cantonese songs into Mandarin homophones, so that some people who don’t understand Cantonese can sing them very well. Wang Xuan just didn't think of this method for a moment.
"Wang Xuan, can you compose this theme song?"
"It should be no problem. I have a preliminary idea. After I finish writing the song, I will record the demo and send it to you in a few days. You can take a look at it then? It shouldn't take more than a few days, right?" Wang Xuan said.
"It's definitely not bad. By the way, have you decided on a female companion for the red carpet? How about I introduce one to you?"
"No, I'm afraid of kneeling down on the durian. My girlfriend is just jealous."
"I'll go! Since when did you have a girlfriend? I also want to introduce my niece to you. Let me tell you, my niece is a beautiful woman."
"The problem is that my girlfriend is also a loser. So, it's better to leave your niece to someone else."
"...Hmm. If I have a chance, I'd like to see who your girlfriend is and whether she deserves the title of Chen Yu Luo Yan."
"There's definitely a chance."
"Okay. Wang Xuan, can I leave the theme song to you?"
"Yeah." Wang Xuan nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xuan shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gui is actually the person in charge of the Music Chart, which is the authoritative organization of Chinese music. But it makes sense to think that Wang Gui can be responsible for collecting National Day theme songs.
Unexpected and reasonable.
Wang Xuan might not have gone to this music festival originally, but now he is definitely going. After all, Wang Gui is the person in charge of the music chart, so he still has to give him face.
...
