Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

Another sequelae of stretching his hips was that Zhou Cheng’s morning exercises were forced to be suspended.

"Brother Cheng, I came out to have breakfast. I'm going to treat you today."

After returning from training, Gu Xintong gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to treat Zhou Cheng to breakfast.

Today is Sunday. Tomorrow Zhou Chengcheng will take Lin Shan to participate in the recording of the "Avenue of Stars" monthly competition. Last time he proposed to hand over Lin Shan's contract to himself, but it has been almost a week and there has been no progress. He will not take this

Just tell yourself the truth.

"Oh, it's not easy for you, Brother Tong, to spend money." Zhou Cheng, who still had some pain in his thigh, walked out of the room with small steps. Gu Xintong hurriedly stepped forward to give him a hand.

Gu Xintong smiled: "I always eat your breakfast, so I treat you once today as a gift in return."

Seeing that there were two pieces of fried liver and two pieces of donkey meat on fire on the table, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but asked: "Brother Tong, this makes me a little flattered. Today is not your birthday, so please wait for me to give you a gift."

"You only eat fried liver with fire on your birthday." Gu Xintong rolled her eyes at him; "I saw you were injured yesterday, so I bought you something good to patch it up."

"Really?" Zhou Cheng picked up a fire and confirmed with Gu Xintong again.

"Forget it if you don't want to eat it. I'll keep it for myself for lunch." Zhou Cheng's distrust made Gu Xintong a little angry and reached out to put it away.

"I'll eat, I'll eat, don't do anything." Zhou Cheng dodged Gu Xintong's outstretched hand and bit down on the fire. It seemed to be the one at the entrance of the alley, and he also added a bit more. It was full of meaty aroma, too

Satisfied.

Gu Xintong asked tentatively while eating his breakfast: "Brother Cheng, do you have any plans today?"

"Arrangements? No." Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "My leg hurts. I'm recovering at home today. If you need anything, you can drive away."

"No, I can just go out and take the bus." Gu Xintong shook his head and continued to test: "Tomorrow is Monday, don't you need to prepare?"

"Monday? It's a new week. We don't need to clock in to work. How can we prepare anything." When Gu Xintong mentioned Monday, Zhou Cheng already understood the meaning of the other party's temptation. He suppressed his laughter and pretended not to know the answer.

Gu Xintong was a little angry and stood up directly, reaching out to snatch away Zhou Cheng's half-drunk fried liver.

Zhou Cheng turned sideways and evaded, muttering: "No, I'm drinking, why did you start cleaning up?"

Gu Xintong said with some frustration: "You have nothing to do, I still have something to do. I have to go out to find resources and recruit artists. If there is no income, I will drink the northwest wind."

"No way, it's so miserable?" Zhou Cheng asked in disbelief: "Didn't I give you 6,000 yuan as salary last week?"

"I've paid off my student loan. If you have some money, pay it back first to save on interest increases." Gu Xintong smiled helplessly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile. A second-generation official like Zhou Cheng probably doesn't know about student loans.

.

Only then did Zhou Cheng really look at Gu Xintong, and it turned out that this girl really had no money.

Zhou Cheng comforted him and said, "It's okay. Follow me and I'll make you earn at least 100,000 yuan this year, so you can buy a car next year."

"One hundred thousand?" Gu Xintong curled his lips, expressing disbelief.

Zhou Cheng smiled: "When Lin Shan finishes participating in the monthly competition tomorrow, you can take him to participate in the announcement."

"Brother Cheng, did you really give me Linshan's contract?" Gu Xintong was still doubtful.

After all, artists like Lin Shan who can already see profits don’t actually need their managers to worry too much. They just need to contact the announcements and arrange for assistants to take Lin Shan to attend on time. The agent’s main job is to contact the announcements and be responsible

Promotion and control of artists.

As for Lin Shan's announcement that Zhou Cheng had been contacted in advance, Gu Xintong basically just sat there and collected the money. This was why Gu Xintong had always suspected that Zhou Chengshi was deliberately trying to whet her appetite by saying this.

Zhou Cheng hammered his chest and said with a heartbroken expression: "Brother Yanjing, you spit and nail. If you say something out, you will never take it back."

"Brother Cheng, otherwise I will only take half of his commission income, ah no, 30%..." Gu Xintong cautiously extended his finger to express his position.

Zhou Cheng looked at Gu Xintong's tangled expression and couldn't help laughing. He shook his hand and said with a smile: "The brokerage contract I signed with Lin Shan at the beginning was to deduct 50% of the tax. Now it is handed over to you, and the company's income will only be charged

20% is used as management fee, and the rest is considered as your commission income.”

Seeing Gu Xintong's surprised expression, Zhou Cheng continued: "Based on Lin Shan's current worth, it's about 20,000 yuan per show. After the show is aired, it can rise even more. Then you can take him to participate in five or six shows a month."

If you enter the market, you can also get a commission of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan."

"Thank you, Brother Cheng. Ah, thank you, boss!" Gu Xintong stood up and bowed to Zhou Cheng. Lin Shan currently costs 20,000 yuan for a performance. Even after deducting taxes and fees, after deducting management fees, it will be several thousand yuan more.

, if you participate in a few more shows a month, your income will rise slowly.

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Brother Tong, I have known you for so long, but I have never had a good chat with you. What is your dream?"

"My dream?" Gu Xintong's face dimmed for a long time before he said: "My dream is to work hard to earn money, try to buy a house in Yanjing, settle down, and then bring my mother over to enjoy the happiness."

Gu Xintong only mentioned her mother, but did not mention her father. Zhou Cheng knew that this must be a relatively sad story. Touching other people's scars is not what a gentleman does, especially when seeing Gu Xintong with a cheerful personality, Zhou Cheng thought even more

Let her stay happy like this, because happiness will infect the people around her.

Zhou Cheng then changed the subject, put down the half bowl of fried liver in his hand, looked at Gu Xintong and joked: "Brother Tong, since I laid the foundation for your dream, don't accept my job now."

"Brother Cheng, I won't accept it anymore." Gu Xintong calmed down and looked at Zhou Cheng with a grateful smile: "I'm treating you to lunch today. What do you want to eat? I'll buy vegetables and I'll cook them for you."

"You cook by yourself? Then I have to think about it carefully." Zhou Cheng said in a drawl: "I remember that you should have dried bamboo shoots sent from your hometown. This stewed meat and braised pork ribs should be good. Buy it again.

Just make a duck and cook a beer duck. By the way, last time you said you had some kind of glutinous rice delicacy over there, make one to try. And..."

Gu Xintong watched Zhou Cheng cross his legs and order food like an uncle, his little face wrinkled up, and he persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, you can't go so far. You see, it's just the two of us in this house. Let's cook some ribs and stir-fry some vegetarian dishes."

No……"

"I can't bear to see you being so fussy." Zhou Cheng spoke sternly, and then stood up: "Let's go, I'll pay for the food today, and you'll be responsible for cooking it. As long as the color, smell, and taste satisfy me, it's your treat.

"

"Okay, I will definitely use my special skills to give you a thumbs up." Gu Xintong agreed with Zhou Cheng's proposal and immediately went back to the house and took out a basket: "We can do some shopping today."

Not far from the gate of the community is the railway community vegetable market. Although it is not large, it is enough for the daily needs of several nearby communities. Gu Xintong is more familiar with this place than Zhou Cheng. He usually takes advantage of the market to close the stalls when he gets off work in the afternoon.

Come here to buy some cheap vegetables and meat.

Today I met a rich man. Gu Xintong not only bought fresh vegetables, ribs and duck, but also specially selected some fresh river shrimps to prepare for the Da Da Ya Festival.

While Gu Xintong was picking shrimps, Zhou Cheng followed him to look at the aquatic products stall and said to Gu Xintong: "Another mandarin fish. Can the squirrel mandarin fish be cooked?"

"Boss, just the two of us, can you finish all the food you bought?" This time it was Gu Xintong's turn to express waste. Although he was reluctant to part with the fresh river shrimp, he couldn't help but said: "Since I bought mandarin fish, then

I won’t buy any shrimp.”

"Go ahead and buy it. Someone is coming to the house today."

"Guests?" Gu Xintong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked in surprise: "You won't let me cook to help you entertain the guests. My level is just ordinary home cooking, but I can't serve it on the table."

"Don't worry, the combined level of them is not as high as yours."

"Them? Chu Ran, the others?" Gu Xintong saw Zhou Cheng shaking his head, and then suddenly realized: "It can't be your sisters. Is Qian Duo coming too?"

"Smart." Zhou Cheng gave Gu Xintong a thumbs up: "They said they were coming to collect dates."

"I happen to want to ask her something."

After buying groceries, the two of them chatted all the way back to the community. Before they reached the gate, Gu Xintong noticed that Zhou Cheng next to him stopped and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

"Why is she here? I want to go out and hide." Zhou Cheng saw a middle-aged woman standing with Zhou Ya and others at his door, turned around and wanted to hide.

"Zhou Cheng, stop right here!"

Before Gu Xintong could figure out what was going on, the woman shouted at Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng, who originally turned around and walked back, immediately turned around when he heard the sound, trotted all the way to the front, and said with a flattering smile: "Auntie, why are you here?"
