Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

Lin Shan is very excited. After winning the monthly competition, it means that he has left a mark on the program "Avenue of Stars". Even if Lin Shan promotes himself in the future, he can add the words "Avenue of Stars" of CCTV as the prefix of his name.

You can also feel confident when negotiating announcements.

"As I told you last time about finding an assistant, look for it as soon as possible. For some announcements, you must bring an assistant with you so that others will take you seriously." After the celebration banquet, Zhou Cheng once again mentioned the assistant to Lin Shan.

"Assistant?" Lin Shan looked at Gu Xintong standing next to Zhou Cheng in surprise.

After a day of contact, he already knew that Gu Xintong and Zhou Cheng were not boyfriend and girlfriend. Moreover, Zhou Cheng left all Lin Shan's competition affairs to Gu Xintong to handle today, which made him think that Gu Xintong was the assistant Zhou Cheng found for him.

.

"Gu Xintong will be your full-time agent in the future. I will be a little busy in the second half of this year and won't be able to get away. She will take you to your announcement."

"Full-time agent?" This position made Lin Shan a little depressed. He thought it was an extra penny, which made him slightly dissatisfied.

Zhou Cheng saw Lin Shan's dissatisfaction and explained: "Miss Gu used to be the agent of Chengtian Entertainment and Sister Hua's apprentice. She is very skilled in the entertainment agency business. I specially made great efforts to invite her to be in charge.

I'm taking you because I don't want you to be delayed in my hands and affect your future."

"Oh, thank you, Miss Gu." Lin Shan reluctantly thanked Gu Xintong.

"Everyone will cooperate more in the future." Gu Xintong nodded. She did not expose Zhou Cheng's flattery to her. Bluffing is also the basic quality of an agent.

"Ms. Gu has helped you contact a few announcements. You will be very busy in the future, so I'd better take the time to find the assistant as soon as possible. It's OK to contact you and Xiaofang's relatives and friends. I want to know the details."

"Ah, is there a new announcement?" Lin Shan nodded. Then he focused on the announcement.

Gu Xintong then introduced Lin Shan's next schedule: "This Friday there will be a radio interview with the Yanjing Urban Channel. There will be two performances in Jiahe on Saturday and Sunday, both at 10 a.m. Next Monday we need to shoot a

You will take photos together and use them for publicity in the future. On Tuesday, I will help you make an appointment with the producer of the "Olympic Forward" program team to meet..."

"Ah, so many?" Lin Shan's dissatisfaction only lasted for a minute, and he was confused by several announcements thrown out by Gu Xintong.

Gu Xintong explained and demonstrated his expertise to Lin Shan: "For the radio interview, I will prepare the interview content for you in advance. You only need to memorize the script. Meet with the director of the production department of the television station. Brother Cheng will participate together. We will meet

I will prepare the costumes. You need to maintain your energy and not make mistakes. This determines whether you can be a special guest on this show."

Lin Shan knew that there would be some announcements after he won the monthly championship, but he did not expect that it would come so soon. Even before this program was broadcast, Gu Xintong had already made arrangements for him.

At the same time, Lin Shan also regarded this as a sign that Gu Xintong was more professional than Zhou Cheng, but he did not know that Zhou Cheng had arranged these for him, and Gu Xintong was only executing them.

"Thank you Miss Gu, thank you Brother Cheng. I will definitely pay attention." Lin Shan thanked Gu Xintong again, this time more sincerely than last time.

After sending Lin Shan to Chaoyang Park, Gu Xintong drove the two of them back to Liuliqiao.

"Brother Cheng, can you tell me what your arrangements for Lin Shan are? I don't want to be kept in the dark." Looking at the flashing car taillights on the Third Ring Road, Gu Xintong, who had been holding back all night, finally asked the question in his heart.

"I thought you wouldn't have any questions." Zhou Cheng, who was a little tipsy, immediately sat up straight when he heard Gu Xintong's question: "Tell me, what do you think is wrong with my arrangement for Lin Shan?"

While driving, Gu Xintong expressed his opinion: "Your arrangements for Lin Shan are too radical. Not only did you have radio interviews and outdoor performances, but you also contacted guests from the TV station, plus an issue of "The Same Song" before the annual finals.

For the opening performance, given Lin Shan’s current state, are these announcements a little too much?”

"Are we going to hide good resources from artists instead of giving them to artists?" Zhou Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Because you are not such a person." Gu Xintong shook his head.

Zhou Cheng became interested: "Then tell me what kind of person I am?"

While driving, Gu Xintong recounted his views on Zhou Cheng over and over: "You are a person who makes plans before deciding. Your biggest characteristic is stability. Most people who don't know you are deceived by your age. Among you,

It seems that Chu Ran is the most mature and the most measured in doing things, but in fact you are the backbone among them."

"Hey, Brother Tong, you won't fall in love with me, right?" Zhou Cheng asked curiously.

"Tch, you are not my type." Gu Xintong scorned Zhou Cheng's narcissism.

"It seems that I can like you." Zhou Cheng replied unconvinced and saw Gu Xintong about to raise his hand: "How do you think I should arrange Lin Shan's announcement to be reasonable?"

Then Gu Xintong sharply pointed out the imbalance in Zhou Cheng's arrangement with Lin Shan: "According to your personality, you should let Lin Shan participate in the announcement step by step, and only push him further when his reputation matches his personal strength. This is a

Responsible Brokerage Practices.”

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "When making arrangements for an artist's work, the agent must first understand the artist's personality. If the arrangement is not appropriate, it will cause some small frictions in the cooperation between the two. Once these small frictions are not handled well, time will be lost.

Over time, it will escalate into disagreements and even cause the two of them to part ways."

Gu Xintong asked in surprise: "Is this arrangement based on Lin Shan's personality? Isn't it detrimental to his future development? As an agent, shouldn't I help him plan his career so that he can go on more smoothly?

Only in this way can you receive a lot of rewards from this artist."

Zhou Cheng lowered the window and lit a cigarette before explaining to Gu Xintong: "Let me tell you my positioning of Lin Shan first. This kid has some talent, but the upper limit is not high. If he can control his temper,

In the end, he became a second-rate singer. One or two songs can be remembered by fans, and appearing in some variety shows or evening parties from time to time is the best ending for him."

"Isn't this great? There are so many singers debuting every year, but only a few can become famous in the end." Gu Xintong looked at Zhou Cheng with some confusion, feeling that he was too ambitious. Artists in the entertainment industry

Just like a pyramid, there are only a few artists who can reach the first tier. The second tier is already at the upper level, and most of them are small artists in the third, fourth or even 18th tier.

"The premise is that he has to restrain his temper." Zhou Cheng then told her about Lin Shan's behavior in the past year: "...once, twice I could still treat him as young and inexperienced, but

He stabbed Lou Zi one after another, and I really don’t have that much energy to wipe his butt.”

"In this case, you are still contacting him and promoting him to become famous. Aren't you afraid that he will poke trouble again?" According to what Caring Xintong learned at Chengtian Entertainment, such an artist should treat him coldly, and wait until his temper changes.

The company will only give him another chance if he is obedient.

Zhou Cheng popped the finished cigarette butt out of the window, raised the window and said calmly: "Have you seen the NBA game?"

"Isn't this a basketball game? Although I don't play basketball, I have watched it. Does Lin Shan have anything to do with this?"

"NBA games have a trading season every year, and teams are only allowed to trade players during the trading season. During this period, both the team and the players being traded will ask for more games to brush up data, so that they can trade players."

has a higher value."

Gu Xintong looked surprised: "Are you planning to sell Lin Shan?"

"No way, our company has just been established, and we really don't have more resources for him to waste again and again. And if Lin Shan performs well recently, there will be more resources in the new company to allow him to go further, which can also be regarded as my

I have fulfilled my duty as a friend." Zhou Cheng then said: "I have invested hundreds of thousands in Linshan over the past year, and I need to get my money back, otherwise I will not have the funds to carry out other projects."

"What about me? You gave Lin Shan to me to take care of him, but he sold it within a few months. How should I communicate with him?"

"I have given him all the resources through you, and he will think that your personal ability is better than mine. Even if you are stricter with him, he will not be too resistant. You follow the normal relationship between an agent and an artist.

Just come and get along, it’s official business.”

"I think you're worried that you won't be able to deal with it if you fall out in the future, so you use me as a shield." Gu Xintong couldn't help pouting.

"You don't have to put all your energy into Lin Shan, just follow the announcement I made for him in advance." Zhou Cheng looked at the excited Gu Xintong and gave her another surprise: "Many film and television companies have talked to us recently.

Regarding investment, I will help you find them some resources when the time comes, and you can use them to win over Meng Xiaoling and the other newcomers. They will be your hard cards in the future. From now on, your income will be less if you make an announcement worth millions.

Already?"

"real?"

"Really, how can I, a big boss, lie to you?"

"Thank you, boss." Thinking of this, Gu Xintong's phoenix eyes almost turned into the shape of copper coins. Not to mention using her as a shield, she would not hesitate to use her as a shield.
