China Entertainment 1997

[Fanxing Studio] is not located in an office building or building, but rents a small courtyard near Xinjiekou South Street.

Not far from Baihua Recording Studio, there is a musical instrument street next door. There are also several video stores and a small record company nearby, which can barely be regarded as a "music treasure."

The small courtyard of the studio is not large, only about 120 square meters. After entering the door and turning around the screen wall, you will see the entire house. It is divided into four rooms, one large, three small, and there is a toilet at the back of the room.

Of the four rooms, Cao Xuan and Jiang Yue allocated a small room as a shared office, another small room as a reception room, and the last small room as a warehouse and utility room.

The remaining large room serves as offices for other employees and a conference room for the entire studio.

A week after the studio was established, Cao Xuan hired two more people.

An old accountant is responsible for the studio's accounts, and a secretary Hu Ya is responsible for secretarial, front desk, handyman, cleaning, customer service and other tasks.

The former has a monthly salary of 1,200 + performance bonus, while the latter has a salary of 500 and nothing.

Cao Xuan, who became a boss, learned the ugly face of capitalists without any teacher...

But even so, the little secretary Hu Ya is actually quite satisfied with her salary. As a recent college graduate, she can get a monthly salary of 500 yuan, which is considered high among her classmates.

Besides, her job position seemed quite daunting, but the studio had just been established and there wasn't much work at all. Hu Ya had been here for more than half a week, and she only cleaned the house every day.

So much so that Hu Ya herself felt sorry for Cao Xuan about the salary paid to her.

But today, when Hu Ya was sweeping the already clean courtyard with a broom, she saw her boss entering the door with a short, middle-aged man with a round face.

"Hu Ya, pour two cups of tea and send them to the guest room."

Zhang Yibai looked at the yard with great interest and praised: "The place is good, very unique."

"Haha, it's just a small fight to make ends meet."

Cao Xuan took Zhang Yibai into the reception room. The interior was very simple, with a set of sofas and a coffee table in the middle. There were clothes racks and newspaper racks at the door, and a few pots of green plants under the window.

Hu Ya brought two cups of hot tea, Cao Xuan took them and handed them to Zhang Yibai, smiling.

"I don't have anything good here, so you can just drink it."

"Haha, I don't understand this stuff either. Just quench your thirst."

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Yibai brought the topic to the main topic, "Carry Love to the End" will be broadcast in advance.

This drama is originally scheduled to be broadcast early next year, and Zhang Yibai is even preparing to sign a contract with Chongqing TV Station.

However, there are experts within the crew who have opened up access to Beijing TV and can premiere on Beijing TV.

This is a satellite TV station that can be seen on TVs across the country. Its influence is far greater than that of the Chongqing TV station that has not yet been launched on the satellite network.

Therefore, the crew could only postpone the cooperation with Chongqing TV Station and broadcast the premiere of "Love to the End" on Beijing Satellite TV.

At the beginning of next year, Beijing Satellite TV has a special drama to be broadcast, so "Love to the End" can only choose to be broadcast in advance, and the time is set for December 1st.

Although Zhang Yibai said it in a vague way, it was not difficult for Cao Xuan to guess who the "master" was.

Nine times out of ten, she is the talented Xu woman who has a close relationship with the big guys in the Beijing circle.

You must know that Wang Shuo, Xu Cainv's "blue-faced confidant", is the same as Zheng Xiaolong, and Zheng Xiaolong is the soul pillar of the Beijing Television Art Center and a big boss in Beijing and Taiwan.

If Zheng Xiaolong comes forward and works hard, coupled with the good quality of "Love to the End", it will not be difficult to win the premiere on Beijing and Taiwan.

But then, Cao Xuan learned from Zhang Yibai that he had some credit for this.

[Nan Ren Bei Cao] said that although the popularity has declined over time, the influence of the incident itself is here, and it can easily become popular again.

Relevant leaders from Beijing and Taiwan listened to Cao Xuan's "Light Chaser" and felt that this song had the potential to become popular.

At that time, "Light Chaser" can be released along with "Love to the End", and then the popularity of "Nan Ren Bei Cao" can be rekindled, and then the popularity can be fed back to "Love to the End" and Jingtai.

Frankly speaking, this matter was both good and bad for Cao Xuan.

On the bad side, Cao Xuan is likely to become the target of public criticism again, and the continuous hype will make the outside world's perception of him worse.

It's okay if "Light Chaser" became a hit, but if it hadn't, he would have become a clown.

On the plus side, Beijing and Taiwan's strong promotion will bring great help to Cao Xuan's reputation and career.

Moreover, Cao Xuan has the opportunity to join Beijing TV and obtain TV platform resources that were previously difficult to access. This will be a huge improvement for Cao Xuan, who currently can only rely on print media and radio stations.

Weighing the pros and cons, Cao Xuan decided to take a gamble.

In other words, he had no choice at all. Jingtai decided to use "Light Chaser" as a hype. Even if Cao Xuan refused, he would still be passively involved in the controversy. Now that he cooperates, he can at least get benefits.

Cao Xuan didn't like this feeling of being a human being, but he had no choice. He was at the bottom of the industry and had no right to speak.

If you want to break out of these shackles and restrictions, you can only climb up. Once you reach the top, you will no longer be manipulated by others.

………

Seeing that Cao Xuan was in a low mood, Zhang Yibai said a few words of relief.

This time "Love to the End" was suddenly changed to Beijing and Taiwan for its premiere. More than one person was "trapped", and he, the director, was also half a victim.

It is true that Zhang Yibai is very happy that his work has been published on a larger platform, and he is even grateful to Xu Cainv and others who have silently contributed.

But on the other hand, Zhang Yibai, as a native of Chongqing City, had previously found various connections, including his relatives, friends, and old classmates, in order to get "Love to the End" to be broadcast on Chongqing City TV Station.

This time the cooperation fell through and he regretted it. He had completely offended the TV station in his hometown and all his relatives and friends. This year he was embarrassed enough to go home.

After hearing Zhang Yibai's situation, Cao Xuan compared himself. He still had hope of making a comeback, but Zhang Yibai was completely "socially dead".

Cao Xuan suddenly felt much better!

Zhang Yibai: "..."

Zhang Yibai, who felt quite tired, discussed the promotional details of "Carry Love to the End" with Cao Xuan.

In two days' time, the crew of "Carry Love to the End" will participate in Beijing Satellite TV's variety talk show "Talk in Beijing". There will be a performance session later in the program where Cao Xuan will sing "Light Chaser" live.

In the future, the sub-channel of Beijing TV Station will produce a separate program about "Nan Ren Bei Cao" to warm up "Light Chaser", and Cao Xuan will participate in the interview.

In addition, Beijing and Taiwan will also increase news reports about Cao Xuan as appropriate in the past few days, and even intend to edit some scenes of him singing in the opening credits of "Love to the End" so that Cao Xuan can get as much face as possible.

It can be said that in order to gain popularity, Jingtai worked hard on Cao Xuan and did everything possible.

As a singer who sings the theme song, he has more publicity resources than Li Yapeng, the male protagonist of "Love to the End".

Cao Xuan, who has been popular for almost half a year and has not appeared on TV much, now has a lot of TV resources in his hands and is inexplicably lamenting the magic of the entertainment industry.
