Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

He didn't contact Zhou Cheng immediately when Zhou Kezhi gave him the business card. Director Liang knew Zhou Cheng well. In another world, after Zhou Cheng was transferred to CCTV, he worked under him and had a profound understanding of his life and the way he did things.

learn.

This person is good at dancing, has many good friends, and is good at calculations. You can ask him to do things, but you must remember his favor. When he is in need, he will remind you intentionally or unintentionally that you have to repay the favor.

Now Zhou Cheng still has some hesitations about the development of Linshan. He will think about it carefully before deciding whether it is worth using these resources.

Saturday, 2 p.m., west gate of Ditan Stadium, Andingmenwai Street.

Zhou Cheng and Lin Shan made an appointment to meet here, and then go to the Dikuang Hotel in the alley behind.

Looking at the disheveled Lin Shan, Zhou Chengcheng was a little angry. But before he could criticize Lin Shan, the other party took the lead and complained: "Zhou Cheng, is this Director Cheng you contacted reliable? Why do you live in such a low-level apartment?"

hotel.”

"Lin Shan, your attitude is very problematic." Seeing Lin Shan's frivolous expression, Zhou Cheng felt that he had failed and it was time to have a good talk with him. Zhou Cheng looked around and said, "There is still time now. Let's go.

Sit in that coffee shop for a while, there are some things we need to discuss."

"Communicate? Okay." Lin Shan nodded reluctantly and followed Zhou Cheng to a coffee shop on the first floor of Huangcheng International not far away.

Zhou Cheng rejected Lin Shan's idea of ​​trying cat poop coffee, simply ordered two cups of Blue Mountain coffee and took him to a relatively quiet corner.

"Lin Shan, we have known each other for more than two years. To be fair, how have I treated you in the past few years?" Zhou Cheng asked as calmly as possible while looking at Lin Shan.

"Except for my poor professional skills, I'm very satisfied with everything else." Lin Shan stirred the spoon absentmindedly, and said to Zhou Cheng while looking at the beauties passing by the window from time to time.

Zhou Cheng almost choked because of his poor business ability. Lin Shan's words made him almost choke. Zhou Cheng compared Lin Shan's personality traits in his mind and knew that this kid didn't speak through his brain. Although this sentence came out of his mouth, it should be him.

practical thinker.

"You said that my business ability is poor, I admit that." Zhou Cheng did not avoid it, following Lin Shan's words and said: "You are a newcomer, and I am also a newcomer. I have been working hard since I signed you.

We will continue to learn and keep in touch with you through relationships.”

Seeing that Zhou Cheng was a little angry, Lin Shan looked at him seriously and looked back at Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng stretched out his fingers and told him: "I sent you to the Young Singers Championship at the first announcement. Even though it was only the preliminary round, I also helped you get a radio interview to increase your reputation. In the end, you looked down on the foreign language channel.

, I pushed it directly and even offended the host."

Lin Shan defended unconvincedly: "I'm not good at foreign languages ​​and I don't know a few words. You asked me to be interviewed on a foreign language channel, and he always spoke English to me. What should I talk to him about?"

"Let's talk about music. Xiao Fei, the male host of Feiyu Show, is an excellent singer himself. Can't you talk about music? You have to know that although Feiyu Show is a foreign language channel, it has a huge fan base across the country, and

Fans are very loyal, and I contacted Xiao Fei through several alumni connections, but I was offended by your words."

Zhou Cheng was speechless when he thought about it. At that time, Zhou Cheng in this world had little experience, so he directly handed over the communication with the radio station to Lin Shan, thinking that they both played music and could have a common topic. Unexpectedly, this kid listened on the phone

When the other person utters a few English words, my inferiority complex takes over and I directly offend them.

"Let's continue. After the Young Singers Championship, I will spend money to provide you with professional training. From singing skills to body shape, I will invite professional teachers. I didn't ask you to pay a penny for this money. It's quite interesting.

."

"Other agencies have to package artists, and the ultimate goal is not to help you make money."

"Packaging?" Zhou Cheng laughed angrily at him: "Go and find out which artist's packaging is not paid for by himself. Unless he is a trainee, but do you know what kind of share ratio a trainee gets? Basically it's all

It’s a 28/20 split, and you can only get 20% after three years of debut. What about us? A 50/50 split, so far, you haven’t earned a penny, and I’ve spent nearly 200,000 on you.”

Lin Shan, who was a little embarrassed by Zhou Cheng's words, wanted to defend himself: "Didn't you not contact the show?"

"Are you sure?" Zhou Cheng directly exposed him: "During the recording of "Super Boy", I contacted several outdoor commercial performances for you. What about you? You thought they offered too little money and they were not worthy of your worth. You directly rejected them.

You have to know that you used to get a few hundred yuan for singing in a bar a night, and they were offering you 10,000 yuan a night, how much more do you want?"

"Na na..." Lin Shan also knew that he was in the wrong and wanted to open his mouth to defend, but didn't know what to say.

"Let's talk about the show "Super Boy" again. Do you know how big of a trap you have brought for me?" Lin Shan was a little angry when Zhou Cheng mentioned this show that made him almost unable to hold his head high in the circle. His face was red and his ears were red.

He tightened his fists, as if Zhou Cheng would take action if he continued to speak.

Looking at his expression, Zhou Cheng sneered: "What's wrong? Do you still want to take action?"

In the past, Zhou Cheng always treated Lin Shan as a friend. No matter how many outrageous things Lin Shan did, Zhou Cheng would help him deal with the aftermath and comfort him that he would be better next time. Then he continued to work hard to find resources for him, looking forward to it.

He can become famous.

From Zhou Cheng's point of view, this is not possible. Zhou Cheng is also a newcomer and does not have many resources for Lin Shan to squander, so he must seize every opportunity.

Zhou Cheng has already made plans. If Lin Shan can't restrain his personality today, then this will be the last time the two of them will cooperate. Stopping the loss in time is the best solution.

"If you still have such a personality, you should go back to your bar and sing, and don't think about becoming famous or a star. I think you haven't become a star yet, and you have already contracted the star problem. Ever since you became a super male voice

After the game, how many fights did you have? How many times did I wipe your butt? Believe it or not, if I don’t care about you, tomorrow Cen Institute will arrest you and make you an example, and your life will be ruined.” In Zhou Zhou.

Under Cheng's intimidation, Lin Shan's angry mood gradually calmed down, and his clenched fists loosened.

Seeing that the other party had listened, Zhou Cheng continued to persuade: "Besides, you haven't become famous yet, so you have no use value yet. Believe it or not, when you become famous, these things will become your black material. Competitors will not spare any

If they try their best to discredit you, the mainstream media will block you, and you won’t be able to defend yourself, because this is the fact. You won’t be able to find an announcement at that time, because no one will cooperate with an artist who only knows how to shake his fist; fans will also

Run away, because no fan will like a trash who makes trouble all the time. Even if you have become famous by then, your future will be over."

"Lin Shan, if you think I'm being alarmist, then we should just break up. I'll treat it as a loss in the investment business, so I can stop the loss in time. I don't want any liquidated damages from you, just pay me back the 100,000 yuan signing fee."

.Then you continue to go back to your bar to sing, and I won’t care about you anymore.”

Hearing Zhou Cheng mention the liquidated damages and signing fees, Lin Shan looked at each other a little bit. He had already spent the money, so how could he have any money to give to Zhou Cheng.

Looking at Lin Shan's uncertain expression, Zhou Cheng could make a guess. After drinking the coffee, he saw that Lin Shan had not expressed anything yet, and then said: "If you still want to continue to cooperate with me, then please restrain yourself."

Your temper, everything is up to me. I can assure you that as long as you follow my arrangements, at least this year you can support yourself, and even have some surplus, instead of relying on small parties to support yourself."

This was the most candid conversation between Zhou Cheng and Lin Shan, and it was also the one that shocked Lin Shan the most.

Lin Shan put away his frivolous mentality and began to look squarely at this agent, who was only one year older than him. The agent seemed to have changed a lot. His eyes that were often wandering around and unconfident were gone, and now his bright eyes were twinkling.

It is firmness, decisiveness and a convincing self-confidence.

Lin Shan didn't know what made Zhou Cheng change, but looking at Zhou Cheng's current performance, there was a voice in Lin Shan's heart telling him that Zhou Cheng would definitely succeed. If he missed this opportunity, he would definitely regret it in the future.

Out of reach.

Lin Shan expressed his sincerity to Zhou Cheng for the first time: "Thank you, Brother Cheng. I was wrong before, but I will listen to you in the future."
