Hu Ya knocked on the door and came in. The two people waiting inside immediately got up.
"Hello, I am Hu Ya, the deputy director of the administrative department of our company. The boss wants to see you, so come with me."
Since Cao Xuan resigned as the general manager of Fanxing, Hu Ya, the secretary to the general manager, was also laid off and transferred to the position of deputy director of the administration department. However, she did not hold the position of department management. Her main job was still Cao Xuan's administrative secretary.
Hu Qiaohua and Liu Yan hurriedly followed. They signed the contract before the Spring Festival and just officially started work after the new year. They were arranged to meet with the boss on the first day, so they were quite nervous.
"Director Hu, we are still in the same family. Can you ask the boss if he has any taboos? This is the first time we meet, so we should pay more attention to it."
Hu Qiaohua, who has not yet started to change his name to Hua Shao, is bolder and shameless.
"The boss is very easy to talk to. Don't be nervous. Just communicate normally."
Hu Ya tried to comfort Hu Qiaohua, but her eyes unconsciously glanced at Liu Yan beside her.
So big!
Although it is winter and everyone has a lot of clothes on them, Liu Yan is wearing a white thin close-fitting down jacket today, which still shows off her figure.
In particular, Secretary Hu Da was sensitive to this aspect due to personal reasons, and he quickly realized the key.
Just walking like this, stealing glances and feeling inferior to each other, a few people came to an office. There was no sign at the door, only the word "Cao".
"boss?"
Hu Ya knocked on the door, and Cao Xuan's voice came from inside: "Come in."
The three of them entered. Cao Xuan was signing documents on his desk, which was the person in charge of the company's financial department.
Although many of Cao Xuan's powers in Fanxing have been gradually delegated, many important matters in the company still require his nod and signature, especially finance, which is basically under his direct jurisdiction.
"Sit down first and wait for a while. Hu Ya will serve them some tea or coffee."
Cao Xuan was immersed in signing documents. Hu Qiaohua and Liu Yan carefully sat down on the office sofa. Hu Ya asked what to drink and simply asked for a glass of water without daring to move.
"Okay, that's it. Give me a total list later and I'll take a look at the approximate expenses and income for the past two months."
"OK."
The person in charge of the finance department nodded and left. Cao Xuan stood up and came over. The two of them quickly stood up.
"Don't be formal. Just chatting with you can be considered as getting to know each other, so you don't have to worry about not knowing how to talk to me when I meet you outside."
What Cao Xuan was talking about was also Fanxing's practice. Generally, when a new artist or important person in charge joins the job, he would take the time to meet him, and at least make a note of someone who looks familiar, so that the person and the name don't match up.
But today he knew both of them, and he even hired them both by hand.
Hu Qiaohua, whose stage name is Hua Shao, has not changed his name yet. He was formerly the No. 1 brother in Taiwan in Zhejiang Province. He has hosted many successful variety shows such as "I Love to Remember Lyrics" and "The Voice of China".
Hu Qiaohua, who will be considered a first-line host in the future, has extremely high professional standards and is a very mature entertainment host.
Of course, he is still just starting out and has a lot of room for growth.
What should I say? It’s hard to find hosts. There are only a few outstanding ones. Many people have platforms to perform. People may not be willing to come to the newly established "grass stage team" of Fanxing Variety Show Department.
Fortunately, Hu Qiaohua is now the host of the Hangzhou station. Although it has a formal establishment, it is a municipal-level local station after all.
The stage of Fanxing is relatively bigger, which has a fatal attraction for him. If Hu Qiaohua joins Zhejiang Provincial Television in two years, with the current reputation of Fanxing, it will not be so easy to recruit people.
As for Liu Yan next to her, she was a former host of Guangdong Broadcasting Station, and the programs she hosted were also unpopular.
In the original time and space, she would participate in the hosting program of her hometown's Hunan TV station this summer and get the opportunity. Later, she would join the Light and become a pillar of the Light step by step.
But now that I have been cut off by Fanxing, I will just work hard in Fanxing.
Cao Xuan had a very good impression of Liu Yan. She took a sexy route in her early career, but there were very few related scandals, at least in the entertainment industry, which are relatively rare.
There are many "fans" about this person. To be honest, Cao Xuan came to her because of her extraordinary talent.
However, Cao Xuan did not want to take action, but was preparing to attract the audience.
As mentioned before, there are three biggest highlights of "Boys and Girls Rush Forward".
First, the men race and race at extreme speeds. Later, monthly and annual competitions will be introduced to see who is faster and more capable.
Secondly, when the unlucky ones fall into the water, it is particularly joyful to watch them struggle on the machine, or set a flag, and then get slapped in the face.
The third thing is to look at girls, especially in summer, the smiling girls are dressed in cooler clothes, trembling and white, LSPs can't wait to put their eyes into the TV.
Cao Xuan himself is a "gentleman", so he knows very well what these old perverts are thinking, and Liu Yan is the magic weapon he uses to attract ratings.
Of course, this kind of thing must be explained to others in advance, so Cao Xuan expressed it directly to Liu Yan.
"For the sake of the show's effect, you may be asked to take a sexy route. You have to be mentally prepared. If you really don't want to, I can arrange for you to go to another show.
But having said that, don't blame me for what I said. Your current hosting level is not as good as others. Taking the sexy route is not only beneficial to the program team, but also a good publicity point for you.
Sexiness is not something to be ashamed of, it is your asset, you can make full use of it, and it does not involve other aspects, to a certain extent, it is also showing your charm."
Liu Yan was a little hesitant. In fact, she had no problem taking the sexy route, but what she was more hesitant about was whether it would cause other problems.
For example, will you be arranged to meet with some advertisers or investors, have wine and dinner with you, or even go further?
How should I put it, this is nothing new in the entertainment industry, especially those who take the sexy route, and it is easy for people to misunderstand them as such.
Liu Yan does not object to taking the sexy route, but she hopes it is limited to the stage. In private, she is disgusted and resists such a thing happening.
After hesitation, Liu Yan gritted her teeth and confessed all her concerns. Cao Xuan understood and went back to his desk, tore off a piece of paper and wrote down two strings of numbers.
"This is my work number and personal number. If our company arranges a similar event, call me directly. Whoever asks you to go will be let go."
If something like this happens outside, you can call me and I will handle it. I dare not say anything more. I, Cao Xuan, still have the ability to protect my own artists.
If you don’t believe my promise, we can write a contract with legal effect.”
Cao Xuan's domineering speech shocked Liu Yan. She accepted the number on the table and said sincerely: "There is no need to write a contract. I believe the boss can do it."
After taking care of Liu Yan, Cao Xuanyou looked at Hu Qiaohua: "Your name is a bit convoluted. Have you considered giving it a stage name?"
"I've always had this plan, but I didn't think about it. Why don't my boss help me build one?"
Hu Qiaohua is very discerning. Even if he doesn't want to change his name, if the boss asks, he will still want to change his stage name.
"The Chinese character is good, let's add another character, Hua Ge, Hua Ye, Hua Zi..."
Cao Xuan pretended to glance at the poster of "The Golden Family" next to him: "Young Master? Mr. Hua, what do you think of Mr. Hua?"
“It sounds nice and unique, I really like it.”
This name really struck a chord in Hu Qiaohua's heart. In the original time and space, he came up with this name because he saw the role of his idol Liu Tianwang in a movie, and planned to use it to become the Liu Tianwang in the hosting industry.
"Okay, let's call it this name. You can go to the Variety Show Department to meet with the people in charge of the program team. It's cold now, so we will mainly do a few pilot episodes indoors first, and then upgrade to outdoor programs when the weather gets warmer later."
Cao Xuan warned Liu Yan and Hu Qiaohua... No, it's time to call them Hua Shao now, and then said.
"The company also has a host, Hu Ke, who will mainly host another program "I Love to Remember Lyrics". Then the three of you may partner with each other, which means you must be prepared to host two programs at the same time."
Fanxing has just tried its hand at variety shows, and Cao Xuan has no plans to recruit more. One man and two women are enough, and they can host the show in pairs.
The main reason is that Cao Xuan intends to let the company's artists show their faces and cover for classes from time to time, which can be regarded as an opportunity for long-term exposure.
If it doesn't work, you can also find an outside host to fill in for a short period of time. This is not uncommon.
In the future, if Fanxing continues to expand the scale of variety shows and three hosts are not enough, they may sign new hosts.
………
Cao Xuan didn't chat with the two for too long. He had work in the afternoon, and if he wasn't dealing with things at the company today, he wouldn't have time to see them.
After coming out of the boss's office, the two followed the instructions and met with Sun Zhongwei, the director of the variety show department, and Wang Guangliang, who was responsible for the specific production of the two variety shows.
The two people held a meeting in the variety show department for most of the day, and were called to the artist management department. Jiang Yue, the vice president and director of the management department, assigned an agent to them.
The three hosts of Fanxing all have the same agent, because the host's related business is the same, so it is convenient to arrange contacts in a unified manner.
Not only do the three of them have one manager, they also work together as a team, including a driver, two assistants, and a makeup artist, who is only from the show team, but will come in to help when needed.
Because they are not well-known now and their configuration is not high. If they become famous or the work becomes busy in the future, the team will definitely need to add more people as needed.
After a brief acknowledgment, the agent looked at the two of them: "Have you found a place to live? If not, the company can provide dormitories."
"And there are dormitories?"
Both of them were a little surprised. The contract they signed with Fanxing was based on announcement fees, and they would be paid according to the share of any subsequent commercial endorsements or remuneration.
The show has not been recorded yet, and the two of them only have a basic salary of 1,500 yuan per month.
So before, the two of them were worried about the specific living expenses before the show started recording, but now they saw that not only were they provided with a car, but they also had accommodation included.
What a great company!
The two happily followed the agent to apply for accommodation. The dormitory was quite close to the company. They received the keys and followed there.
As soon as they arrived, both of them were stunned!
Before this, they thought that the company's dormitories might be better than student dormitories, or they might be small apartments shared by two or three people.
But I didn’t expect that all of them were single-person, well-decorated apartments, with an area of about 80 square meters, two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, including heating, air conditioning, TV, washing machine, refrigerator, water heater and other household appliances.
After visiting the dormitory, Boss Cao's image in their hearts suddenly became infinitely taller...
The manager looked at the two people with excited faces and said with a smile: "This is an artist apartment specially equipped by our company. The rent, water and electricity are all covered by the company, and an aunt will be arranged to clean it every month.
There are also security guards on duty in Room 201 on the second floor to provide security. If you need anything, you can call.
Several young artists from the company also live in this apartment. You are also considered neighbors. Remember to say hello when you meet them.
By the way, if you have any other needs or dissatisfactions, you can tell me and I will try my best to coordinate with you."
"No, it's already very good. We are very satisfied."
Surprises hit Liu Yan and Liu Yan's faces one after another. The various arrangements were so considerate that the two of them could not be picky in their hearts. They were only satisfied.
Seeing the happy two people, the manager recalled her previous conversation with director Jiang Yue. At first, she was also curious about why Cao Xuan treated artists so well.
Jiang Yue told her Cao Xuan's explanation. He had forgotten the original words and only remembered the general meaning.
All investments made now will be used to earn profits of hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand times on these artists in the future. We must take a long-term view.
In a word, the wool comes from the sheep!
