Chapter 157 Phoenix Entertainment is here to poach people!
After Sha Yetong sang the song again, Duan Suxin had already firmed up his thoughts.
I guess among all the songs at the National Day Gala, this is the most suitable song.
Duan Suxin also felt that her idea of inviting Sha Yetong and Xu Ji was right.
As a singer, Sha Yetong is suitable for such a party, and the songs written by Xu Ji are even more crucial.
Don’t worry about future singing shows.
At this time, Duan Suxin was ready to ask for a song from Xu Ji.
Xu Ji can only write songs for Sha Yetong.
She needs new songs anyway, and Xu Ji alone can match the many songwriters she has found.
Those who are capable should work harder!
The most that can be done is to invite singers and artists from the other company to participate in the show.
As long as the song is suitable, she doesn't mind Xu Ji choosing the singer himself.
......
It has been two days since Xu Ji returned to Rongcheng from the capital.
After coming back, he basically devoted himself to two things.
First, the post-production of "Legend of Sword and Fairy II".
Xu Ji is still following up, and the editing is only a small part away from being completed.
It also met Xu Ji’s requirements.
It is estimated that the production of post-production special effects will begin in the future.
In addition, Xu Ji also started writing the script, and agreed to Duan Shengyu and Hu Lan's request to come up with the script within a week.
This is not a big problem for Xu Ji.
It’s just liver!
After experiencing the experience of filming the gift drama project "Mountains and Seas", Xu Ji has become accustomed to it.
On the other hand, Kong Cheng and the Screaming Band began to take some time off after the show "I Am a Songwriter" ended.
Several people are not used to it, but they like the life of frequent performances.
After mentioning it to Xu Ji, he also asked Youman to start taking over some performances for them.
Although the scale of the performance is not very large, compared with the scale of the performance before several people participated in the songwriters' performance, it is not at the same level.
But there is no need to worry about accepting performances, after all, "I Am a Songwriter" has greatly enhanced the reputation of Kong Cheng and the Scream Band.
Especially for the Scream Band, the song "Boundless Sea and Sky" in the songwriter competition gave them no worries about various performance opportunities.
There are also a lot of related invitations.
However, they still send messages to Xu Ji from time to time.
Expressing that he wants to sing new songs.
It's just that Xu Ji really can't spare time during this period. Although he has already thought about songs for Scream Band and Kong Cheng, he doesn't have time to write lyrics, music and arrangements.
......
In Phoenix Entertainment's company building, the company's vice president Wang Wu was not in a very good mood at this time.
In the final analysis, it is because of the just-concluded Peony Awards.
This time for the Peony Awards, Phoenix Entertainment, as one of the top three, was shortlisted for the fewest awards.
Moreover, Phoenix Entertainment's overall profits began to decline this quarter.
Although it seems to be just normal ups and downs, all of this happened when he issued a ban order on Tongji Entertainment.
This made Wang Wu have to think more.
Xu Ji's limelight at the Peony Awards made Wang Wu angrier and more disgusted with Xu Ji's Tongji Entertainment.
Now his so-called blocking order seems to be in vain.
It has no impact on Tongji Entertainment at all.
For example, there is an endless stream of programs and performances that invite Sha Yetong.
After having one or two leaders, gradually everyone no longer considered offending Phoenix Entertainment.
They all hold the idea that the law will not punish the public, and it is impossible for Phoenix Entertainment to sever cooperation with everyone.
It makes Phoenix Entertainment artists seem to be targeted.
After many performances and programs invited Sha Yetong, they no longer invited artists from Phoenix Entertainment.
Recently, Wang Wu has also received many reports from people below, saying that some artists openly violated the company's decision and went to the same performance as Sha Yetong.
If it had been before, Wang Wu would definitely have chosen to impose punishments and warnings.
But now he can only pretend not to know.
The artists and managers below all complained that Wang Wu would not be able to take the initiative to lift the so-called banning order and slap himself in the face. It would be the best decision to just pretend he didn't see it.
......
"Mr. Wang, are you looking for me?"
Seeing the person coming, Wang Wu quickly motioned for the person to sit down.
Zuo Huiwen, one of the managers of Phoenix Entertainment’s human resources department, is also Phoenix Entertainment’s gold medal talent scout.
The department she manages will specifically look for potential amateurs to sign up as trainees.
I will also look for some artists from other companies in the entertainment industry, and then take the initiative to contact them and poach them at a high price.
In the many years since Zuo Huiwen joined the company, she has signed many potential trainees for Phoenix Entertainment. At the same time, she has also poached some S-level and even some super-S-level trainees from the other three major companies, Tianhua and Tianwu.
Artist.
"Huiwen, I think you are the most capable person in the entire company."
"Companies are saying that there is no artist you can't poach."
When Wang Wu opened his mouth, he praised the other party first.
Although he is a superior, when facing a veteran figure like Zuo Huiwen, Wang Wu also knows very well that he cannot talk to him in a commanding tone.
"Farewell, Mr. Wang."
"Just tell me what you have to say, don't put any high hat on me."
Zuo Huiwen heard Wang Wu's words and quickly stopped her.
Wang Wu didn't mind the other party's rude tone.
"I'm asking you to do me a favor."
"Hire someone for our Phoenix Entertainment."
Wang Wu directly told the reason why he called the other party.
"Can't dig it."
Zuo Huiwen answered directly.
"I haven't even said who to poach yet."
Wang Wu rubbed his forehead with a headache.
"It will make you, Mr. Wang, take the initiative to speak."
"At least he must be an S-level artist, and it is very likely that he will be a super-S-level artist."
"Not to mention the Big Three, even if some other companies provide artists like this, how easy is it to poach them?"
Zuo Huiwen is no longer a newbie in the workplace.
Naturally, you won’t feel complacent just because the other party treats you like a high hat.
He also doesn’t make any promises easily.
Most of the time, complaining in front of the leader is the best choice.
Wang Wu then said: "Don't worry, I'm not a super S-level artist."
"Not the other two."
Zuo Huiwen:?
At this time, Wang Wu handed over the information in his hand.
After Zuo Huiwen took it, she looked closely and saw the words "Tongji Entertainment Artist Information".
......
"Tongji Entertainment?"
Seeing Zuo Huiwen's surprised expression, Wang Wu nodded.
"What I said is right. It's not from the other two companies, nor is it a super S-level artist."
Zuo Huiwen did not refute this point.
For a small-scale company like Tongji Entertainment, there is no so-called artist level at all.
But Tongji Entertainment is different from other small companies!
How could other small companies be like Tongji Entertainment and be blocked by Phoenix Entertainment? Not to mention that it has no impact on itself, but it has restricted Phoenix Entertainment everywhere.
However, Zuo Huiwen really never thought that Wang Wu would ask her to poach artists from Xu Ji Company.
After all, the artists of Xuji Company are all picked up by the other party, so it must be very difficult to find them.
Of course, just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible.
Zuo Huiwen firmly believes that if you can't recruit people, it's just because the benefits are not high enough.
"Mr. Wang, I can only promise that I will try my best to help you recruit people."
“But it’s hard to say whether it will work or not.”
......
Although Zuo Huiwen already has an idea in mind and is quite confident, she is not accustomed to speaking too fully.
"It doesn't matter, I believe in your ability, Manager Zuo."
Wang Wu said: "By the way, there is no need to talk about An Cailing and Ji Yiyang."
Zuo Huiwen was a little confused after hearing this.
"Why?"
An Cailing knew that the other party was originally from Phoenix Entertainment, so they couldn't talk about it normally.
But Ji Yiyang is now considered the most popular actor in Tongji Entertainment. Zuo Huiwen originally planned to use Ji Yiyang as her main target.
"You don't have to worry about it."
"You can't dig Ji Yiyang."
"We won't be able to get him even if he is poached."
"The main focus can be on other people."
Wang Wu replied.
Zuo Huiwen may not know Ji Yiyang's identity, but he knows it very well.
Ji Yiyang's arrival at Phoenix Entertainment is a troublesome thing for them.
There is no need to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself.
Zuo Huiwen saw that Wang Wu was unwilling to say anything, so she didn't ask.
He nodded and agreed.
......
Since returning to Chengdu after filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy II", She Yue has continued her leisurely life.
In addition to watching dramas and learning other people's acting methods and taking acting classes every day, the biggest pleasure is actually taking care of the pots of succulents I grow.
In addition, She Yue also took on a supporting role with a small role.
It was entirely because I was attracted by the script and the characters.
Some of the actors she met in "The Best of Us" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy One" are now very busy every day, and are even constantly asked by the company to take on some bad movies and TV series.
She doesn’t have to accept variety shows, she can choose to accept dramas by herself. She Yue enjoys her current state very much.
The only drawback is that people often recognize me when I go out.
She Yue is often photographed at flower and bird markets or food stalls across Chengdu.
Being caught and photographed by passers-by may be her most exposure channel now.
She Yue was planning to make lunch when her cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
Seeing the unfamiliar number, She Yue answered the call with some confusion.
"Excuse me, is this She Yue, Miss She?"
......
After She Yue tidied up, she went out.
Although I wonder why the other party didn't contact my agent, but called me directly.
But She Yue still decided to meet the other party.
The first is that he came to Chengdu in person, obviously very sincere.
If a role comes to her, She Yue will still choose to take it if the script meets the requirements.
The second most important thing is that the woman on the phone said that she wanted to treat her to dinner.
It just saves She Yue the time to cook.
......
"Miss She!"
"Here!"
Zuo Huiwen, who had been waiting in the restaurant for a long time, saw She Yue wearing sunglasses and a mask, and took the initiative to stand up and shout.
She also didn't expect that it would be so easy to ask She Yue out.
Tongji Entertainment doesn’t seem to have any restrictions on its artists?
As for She Yue’s personal phone number, it was not difficult for Zuo Huiwen to find it.
Many of the actors who have appeared in "The Best of Us" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" are not from Tongji Entertainment.
With Zuo Huiwen's connections, she found those actors' companies and asked about them and got them.
"Hello."
"Miss Zuo?"
She Yue sat down opposite Zuo Huiwen.
In fact, She Yue didn't get much information from the other party on the phone.
She only knew the other person's surname, name and identity, but she knew nothing about it.
"Let's order first."
Zuo Huiwen was very patient and had no intention of explaining her purpose at the beginning.
But what she didn't expect was that She Yue seemed to be more patient than her.
I actually started to look at the menu seriously and order dishes.
Is She Yue really not curious at all about her identity and purpose?
"Miss Zuo?"
"Do you want anything else?"
She Yue's words interrupted Zuo Huiwen's thoughts and she quickly shook her head.
He smiled and replied:
"No need."
Zuo Huiwen asked at this time:
"Ms. She, actually I have a question."
"You are so popular now, but you haven't participated in variety shows or anything like that. How about increasing your exposure?"
"You must know that if an artist does not often appear in the public eye, no matter how popular the artist is, he will become obsolete."
......
Although she didn’t understand why the other party asked this question, She Yue still answered truthfully:
"I don't really like participating in variety shows."
"Filming is more suitable for me."
At this time, She Yue had roughly guessed that the person in front of her was probably the director of a variety show or something.
Although she heard She Yue's answer, Zuo Huiwen didn't believe it at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
She subconsciously felt that a young actor like She Yue was so popular.
Are you unwilling to go on variety shows to consolidate your popularity?
Moreover, the advertising fees for variety shows are also very high. Recording is much easier than filming, so who would think that they have too much money?
She Yue obviously didn’t tell the truth just now.
Zuo Huiwen guessed that either Tongji Entertainment didn't have much resources, or the company wouldn't let She Yue take on the variety show.
Regardless of the situation, her confidence in capturing She Yue has increased by a few percent.
"Miss She..."
Zuo Huiwen was about to speak, but was interrupted by She Yue.
"The food is here!"
She Yue was indeed a little hungry, but she didn't worry too much about anything. She just picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
She doesn't like Western food very much, but if someone treats her, she won't complain so much.
"Uh, keep talking."
At this moment, She Yue suddenly remembered that Zuo Huiwen was still there and spoke.
Zuo Huiwen couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
Why does she think She Yue is more interested in food than herself?
"Miss She."
"Let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Zuo Huiwen, from Phoenix Entertainment."
"I came to see you this time because I want to talk to you about your future career development."
.....
When She Yue heard about Phoenix Entertainment, she was stunned for a moment, but she did not interrupt the other party.
"Actually, I know that it was Xu Ji who made you famous. He is kind to you."
"But a small company like Tongji Entertainment is obviously unable to meet your current development."
"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. If you can join us at Phoenix Entertainment."
"I promise that we will give you an S-level artist contract, and at the same time, you can have at least two dramas with a production of over 100 million every year."
"In terms of variety shows, you can also be a guest on popular variety shows such as "In the Mood for Love" and "The Big Show"."
......
Zuo Huiwen talked for a long time and finally finished explaining her conditions.
She felt that it was impossible for the other party to refuse such an offer.
But She Yue's reaction was beyond her expectation.
The other party is still eating his own food calmly.
He seems to have little interest in what she said.
Seeing Zuo Huiwen finally finished speaking.
She Yue also understood the other party’s intention.
It turns out they are here to poach people.
In fact, no matter what conditions the other party offers, She Yue will not consider leaving Tongji Entertainment.
Moreover, the conditions offered by Phoenix Entertainment, one of the three major companies represented by Zuo Huiwen, don’t seem to be very good...
After hesitating for a moment, She Yue said:
"But..."
"Actually, Ms. Zuo, the two variety shows you just mentioned seem to have sent invitations to me. I didn't really want to go, so my agent refused."
Zuo Huiwen was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing She Yue's words.
"In terms of filming, the investment for our two Fairy Sword movies this year has exceeded 200 million."
Another critical hit.
Zuo Huiwen was choked by She Yue's words and was speechless.
She suddenly discovered that such resources were very attractive to other people, even first-line actors.
But facing Tongji Entertainment, I seem to be a little helpless.
Are what She Yue said before true?
Did the other party really not want to participate in the variety show, so that’s why he didn’t go?
Zuo Huiwen originally expected that it would not go well, but she never thought that when she stated her conditions, she was not attractive at all.
It seems a bit... we can’t talk anymore!
Zuo Huiwen still hasn’t given up.
He gritted his teeth and said directly: "Super S-level!"
"If you join Phoenix Entertainment, we will give you a super S-level contract!"
"And help you set up your own studio."
Hearing this, She Yue was also a little surprised.
She is no longer a newcomer who just debuted a year ago, but she still knows how valuable the super-S-level artist contracts from the three major entertainment companies are.
It is even a contract that countless artists in the entertainment industry dream of.
But...
This still has no appeal to She Yue.
She shook her head lightly.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Zuo Huiwen was really incomprehensible at this time.
"With the super S-level contract we give you, the artist's share will be 80%!"
This was the first time She Yue knew how much the super-S-level artists were divided into.
However, the share ratio in my contract seems to be 80%.
When She Yue signed the contract, she didn't pay much attention to these things because she was determined to join Xu Ji's company.
"No need."
She Yue had almost finished eating at this time and gently put down her knife and fork.
"Our company's liquidated damages are too high."
"It's not worthwhile for you to poach me."
She Yue didn't know how to refuse. She was afraid that the other party would pester her, so she simply came up with liquidated damages as an excuse.
"Liquidated damages?"
Zuo Huiwen frowned when she heard what the other party said.
She had considered this before, but as for liquidated damages, Phoenix Entertainment had a huge business and couldn't afford it, so she didn't care too much.
"It's enough for Director Xu to make a movie about Fairy Sword."
Zuo Huiwen was stunned by She Yue's words.
So high?
This Xu trace is quite ruthless!
Zuo Huiwen suddenly felt a sense of frustration.
Even Phoenix Entertainment would not be willing to part with such a liquidated damages price.
The key is that if you pay liquidated damages for a month, you don’t even know how long it will take to recover the cost.
"I see..."
Zuo Huiwen said helplessly.
She Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
It's better if the other party doesn't pester you too much, otherwise it would be quite troublesome if you keep rejecting me.
Then he slowly stood up.
"Miss Zuo, if everything's okay, I'll go back first."
"Thank you for inviting me to lunch."
She Yue shook hands with the other party and left happily.
At least lunch is taken care of and this trip was not in vain.
As for Zuo Huiwen, looking at She Yue's leaving figure, she could only sigh helplessly.
......
"What?!!"
“Tongji Entertainment’s liquidated damages are so high?!!!”
Wang Wu was also shocked when he received a call from Zuo Huiwen.
Zuo Huiwen only found She Yue, and his plan to recruit people this time could not proceed.
Why is this trace darker than the three of them?!!
Wang Wu found it a bit difficult to understand.
But soon, Wang Wu realized that this might be a good opportunity.
If the liquidated damages are so high, who will join Tongji Entertainment in the future?
If you can't recruit artists, no matter how good Tongji Entertainment is, it will only be that big.
The more carefully he thought about it, the more Wang Wu felt that his idea was feasible.
This time, Zuo Huiwen was asked to recruit people, but the efforts were not in vain, and there were still gains!
A smile appeared on Wang Wu's face.
.....
During the period when Xu Ji returned to Chengdu, the progress of writing the script was quite smooth.
It’s almost the final part.
At the same time, the post-editing of "Legend of Sword and Fairy II" has basically been completed, and it's time to discuss special effects production issues with Honghu Studio.
It is already the last day of September, and the long holiday of October is coming soon.
As for Tongji Entertainment, they did not take the initiative to mention a holiday.
After all, the filming of the second part of Fairy Sword has ended, and all kinds of work have been temporarily completed. Now the people in the company have long been on vacation.
For people like Kong Cheng and the Scream Band who have performances during the October holiday, even if Ji Ji gives them a holiday, they probably won't be willing to do so.
Holidays don’t seem to apply to entertainment companies.
However, Xu Ji is still very concerned about October, which is coming soon.
After all, Sha Yetong participated in this year's National Day Party.
Xu Ji planned to watch the National Day Gala, which he had rarely seen before.
At the same time, this National Day Party not only attracted a lot of attention, but also attracted many more people than in previous years.
It's not something Sha Yetong could have done alone.
But for this Guoqiang Gala, director Duan Suxin, who took over the National Day Gala for the first time, has used many popular singers and artists.
This made the National Day Gala, which had not received much attention, suddenly become a hot search topic on Weibo after the program list came out.
Netizens who were originally not very interested in the National Day Gala began to discuss it one after another.
"This National Day party is great, there are many young faces!"
"Yes, I also discovered that in addition to some official old artists, there seem to be many more popular singers."
"Singer Shi Yuhua also participated, this lineup is great!"
"After changing the director this time, I feel that the attention of the National Day Gala has also increased. Director Duan is worthy of being the director of the Spring Festival Gala, and he has done a good job in bold innovation of the program."
"I feel that if this program is used, then this year's National Day Gala will probably be watched by many more young people."
"Although, I am always a little worried that although some pop singers have been invited, there will be a sense of disobedience. After all, this is a National Day party."
......
With the heated discussion among netizens, the National Day holiday has finally arrived.
Many people will choose to travel during the week-long holiday, but the crowds of tourists in major scenic spots are so crowded that they are suspicious of life.
There will also be many people who choose to stay at home for seven days.
For these people, watching the live broadcast of the National Day Gala, which was highly discussed before, has become a good choice for relaxation.
