“Brother Chen, there is a TV station in Italy who wants to interview the boss, and they say they have already arrived in Shanghai, and they can do interviews anytime.”
“From Italy? Have you arrived yet? Tsk, it’s not like you got on the plane in the early morning… Let me see. Now, the boss has already filled up the interviews these days. Ask over there, five to six o’clock Is it okay to interview while having dinner? If yes, I will discuss it with the manager, if not, I can only go to next week.”
“…”
“Team leader, there is a company in the United States that wants to buy the copyright of the rewritten lyrics of “In the Name of the Father”, and three film and television companies want to buy and use the copyright as the theme song…”
“I went back and asked the manager and Mr. Guan about the lyrics and cover. Don’t rush to sell the copyright, wait a few days, and wait to see if other companies want to buy it.”
“…”
“Sister Wang, the invitations to sing this time are all big names. How can I refuse? Will I offend them if I refuse? Will I be fired?”
“Don’t panic. Put it together and give it to Mr. Guan. Mr. Guan will give it to the boss. Let the boss refuse it himself. He is not afraid of offending people.”
“…”
“Manager, the dishwasher wants to renew the endorsement contract for another two years. [Smiling Beverage] The offer is 2.2 million, and I want the boss to endorse the new black tea. Others include skin care products, music player software, toilet water, sit-ups Devices, web games… In addition, there are also endorsements from several clothing brands from abroad.”
“The endorsement of the dishwasher is up to the boss. [Smiling] Let’s talk about the price of black tea, about 280, you can talk about it. For clothing, you can tell the product positioning, industry status, and target audience of those foreign brands Make a document for me. The sit-up machine and the web game are pushed, and the others…” Qin Xiaotong made arrangements for all the endorsement invitations sent in the morning, and finally asked: “Is there any food endorsement?”
The director of the marketing department bowed his head and thought for a while, and said: “The American fast food company called [McDonald] that we dropped off last time sent another quotation.”
“Reject it again.” Qin Xiaotong shook his head in disgust, and asked again: “Are there any domestic snacks?”
The marketing minister said: “Yes, that [potato incident]…”
“[Smiling] After the discussion over there, let’s talk about the potato chips first.”
“Don’t talk about music software first?” The minister was surprised.
“Yes. Who told our boss to wait to eat.” Qin Xiaotong rubbed his temples and sighed.
“…”
Early in the morning, after Guan Yi sent Han Jue off, he returned to the studio and saw such a busy scene.
Han Jue Studio currently has 40 registered employees. A studio did not need so many people when it was first established, but because Han Jue was active not only in China, but also in the United States, the studio was roughly divided into [China Department] and [America Department]. Among the employees, there are native Chinese aborigines and Chinese-American bilingual staff.
Usually, once one of the departments starts to get busy, the other department is often on standby.
There has never been a situation where the two departments are busy together like today.
Guan Yi walked all the way to the general manager’s office, and was greeted in a hurry by the staff along the way.
Guan Yi looked at everyone in front of him as if they had work to do, and he felt a feeling of “there is finally no idler in the studio”. Even Han Jue has stopped being salty fish recently, and it seems that the time to make a lot of money is really coming.
Guan Yi also hesitated when he received the invitation from “Extreme Man”. [Extreme Concert] On such a stage, musicians who are generally not strong enough and lacking in confidence dare not stand on it, lest they lose in a mess and their reputation will not rise but fall. If Guan Yi hadn’t helped Han Jue register the copyrights of hundreds of songs, and hadn’t acted as the Chinese-American [ghost creator] Gu An, then Guan Yi wouldn’t have dared to persuade Han Jue to participate in “Extreme Man”.
After Han Jue decided to participate in the “Extreme Man” [concert special], everyone in the studio was looking forward to it. Weekly episodes of “Extreme Man” never end. Thinking about how Han Jue will use a song to announce his return to China in the end, show off his talent, and open the door to the domestic market.
As everyone expected, Han Jue became the dark horse of the [Concert Special], and strongly captured the attention of the audience. He didn’t talk much, but he had a strong sense of presence. At the same time, it also proved in the show that his talent is not only displayed in English songs, but also in Chinese songs. The door opened easily.
However, what the studio partners didn’t expect was that Han Jue not only opened the door, but also flowed out a smooth road.
It was just the next morning after the end of the [Extreme Concert], when everyone opened the door of the studio, they heard the phone ringing continuously. It’s all about cooperation, interviews, and endorsements.
This sound lasted until noon, and it will continue to ring.
When Guan Yi watched the news in the morning, he knew that Han Jue’s new song was a hit.
Although there are negative reviews, whether it is in the industry or outside the industry, the number of positive reviews for “In the Name of the Father” far exceeds the negative reviews.
Feeling the busyness of the studio, Guan Yi automatically converted the busyness into banknotes in his heart, and thought while walking: [The studio will be relocated first, then recruit more staff, complete the travel team, and then sign contracts with law firms, beauty salons, and security companies. Long-term appointment… The nanny car can also be bought, Xiao Zhou should be very happy. 】
Xiao Zhou’s office is in Han Jue’s office. Occasionally, when Han Jue is not working, Xiao Zhou will pretend that he has a separate office and come here to do operational work.
When Xiao Zhou was stretching, he saw Guan Yi passing by, and said hello excitedly: “Brother Guan!”
Xiao Zhou was so excited not because he met Guan Yi.
There are usually only four reasons for his excitement: Grandma is happy. Salary is paid. A wonderful funny video of Han Jue was captured. Weite has become popular.
Here is the last one.
“The studio has over 10 million fans! It’s 300,000 more than [Xiao Chi Chi Chi]!” Xiao Zhou stepped aside a bit so that Guan Yi could take a closer look at the number of fans on the screen. He sat on a chair, supported his stiff neck, and arrogantly moved his neck back and forth, up and down, left and right, clockwise and counterclockwise. He looked smug.
After the sound source of “In the Name of the Father” came out in the early morning, [Xiao Chi Chi Chi] followed up quickly as always, not only sharing the link of this song on Weibo, but also forwarding and commenting on Huang Kun’s music review.
Han Jue’s works have always been [Xiaochi Chichi]’s killer trump card for attracting fans, but because there is no MV and no scene for “In the Name of the Father” this time, the effect of attracting fans is inevitably much weaker.
[Waste! 】Xiao Zhou, as the official account of the studio, saw that so many preparatory fans couldn’t find the organization, so he couldn’t be indifferent.
So Xiao Zhou released Han Jue’s solo version of “In the Name of the Father”, which is also a video version. It was taken at [Blue Whale] that day.
Netizens yelled and forwarded comments, liked, and paid attention, making [Han Jue Studio] more fans than [Xiaochi Chichi] in one fell swoop.
Seeing the excitement in the Weibo account, Guan Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, even with Guan Yi’s facial expression to manage his skills.
Although the crazy increase in fans of the studio’s Weibo account is related to Han Jue’s activities again and again, it is not easy to manage the official account into tens of millions of fans in half a year. What’s more, there are countless original jokes by Xiao Zhou, and there are piles of funny video series with Han Jue as the protagonist, and he mingles with various other big Vs, stars, and fans.
Xiao Zhou really has the talent to be an internet celebrity.
“Not bad.” Guan Yi praised.
Xiao Zhou moved his neck more.
“The studio is about to expand its enrollment, why don’t you run the network full-time?” Guan Yi suggested.
Xiao Zhou’s neck suddenly got stuck, almost dislocated.
“Brother Guan! I’m usually a good boy! You can’t kill donkeys, cook rabbits and dogs, hide birds, put up your pants and deny people…” Xiao Zhou heard that he couldn’t continue to be Han Jue’s assistant, so he Crying and talking nonsense.
Guan Yi ignored Xiao Zhou’s nonsense, but seriously persuaded: “Han Jue’s schedule will increase in the future, and you will be tired from two jobs.”
“It’s okay! When Brother Han is working, I can take care of Weite with my mobile phone nearby!” Xiao Zhou shook his mobile phone quickly.
“It’s not good to sit in the office?”
“Not good!” Xiao Zhou shook his head again and again.
“The salary is four times what it is now.” Guan Yi said calmly.
Guan Yi knows that Xiao Zhou has two jobs because it costs money to take care of his sick grandma. Guan Yi used to take care of his seriously ill girlfriend alone, and was short of money, so he naturally understood the feeling of desperately longing for money. Seeing that the studio conditions had improved, Guan Yi wanted to take care of Xiao Zhou and help Xiao Zhou in a gentle way.
However, Xiao Zhou refused again without hesitation: “No!”
Of course Xiao Zhou is short of money, but he doesn’t only have money in his eyes. Xiao Zhou knew that, not to mention the paparazzi’s sense of accomplishment in his position as an assistant, the opportunity to study with Han Jue alone could not be exchanged for the money in front of him.
And he did indeed learn something from Han Jue. After each video was released, more and more retweets and fans fully affirmed his progress.
“Alright.” Guan Yi sensed Xiao Zhou’s determination, so he stopped pushing. He patted Xiao Zhou on the shoulder, and decided to raise Xiao Zhou’s salary, and then usually give him more bonuses.
Xiao Zhou seemed to feel something from the palm on his shoulder, and looked up at Guan Yi in surprise.
“Brother Guan, you…” Xiao Zhou’s eyes turned red.
Guan Yi thought that Xiao Zhou was not an idiot. Just when he was about to ask again, Xiao Zhou spoke.
“Could it be because Brother Han intends to accept Zhang Zishang as an apprentice, and now he has a formal disciple, so he wants to expel me from the teacher?!” Xiao Zhou’s face was pale, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Guan Yi refrained from punching Xiao Zhou in the face with a straight fist, not wanting to talk to the idiot. Turn around and leave.
Xiao Zhou stood up behind him, walked back and forth in the office with his head bowed, muttering about the small theater: “No, no, no, you can’t be kicked out of the teacher… Apprenticeship? I can also be a teacher! Although Brother Han and I I don’t have the name of master and apprentice, but I already have the reality of master and apprentice. I will definitely agree to my apprenticeship! Wait, is it possible that after Brother Han accepts me as a disciple, he will be satisfied as a master, and then he will not accept Zhang Zishang as a pawn? Are you a disciple now? Very interesting! Wahahahaha! I want to be a teacher, I want to be a teacher…”
Guan Yi kindly closed the door of the office to prevent outsiders from knowing that Xiao Zhou had gone crazy.
Guan Yi walked towards the general manager’s office next to him.
Ever since he learned that Zhang Zishang was going to worship Han Jue as his teacher yesterday, Xiao Zhou has been thinking about Zhang Zishang. In fact, Guan Yi, too, has been thinking about this.
Guan Yi came to the studio today to discuss Zhang Zishang’s apprenticeship with the senior management of the studio and the impact of the apprenticeship. After returning home, his girlfriend had already fallen asleep and did not talk.
In the entertainment industry, a celebrity is a company, and a company represents several people who depend on the celebrity for food. Apprenticeship is a major event that is no less important than getting married, Guan Yi and the others cannot tolerate the pros and cons that may arise.
Han Jue can be emotional and don’t want to think about it, but Guan Yi and the others, as a manager and partner, have to replace Han Jue’s rationality.
Qin Xiaotong was also surprised when he heard the news.
“That kid looks naive, but he can always do the right things. I don’t know if it’s a blessing to be a fool.” Qin Xiaotong commented on Zhang Zishang with a smile.
Then Guan Yi will talk to Qin Xiaotong about the pros and cons behind this incident.
But Qin Xiaotong made a [slow] gesture. Because she thought of all the things to be discussed next, the necessary prerequisite is – [successful apprenticeship].
Qin Xiaotong thinks that [Blue Whale] is unlikely to stop Zhang Zishang. One is because Han Jue came from [Blue Whale], he was [Blue Whale’s own son], he had a conflict, and now he has reconciled, talked about cooperation, and is one of his own. The second is because “In the Name of the Father” fully demonstrated Han Jue’s talent. Han Jue relied on his strength to drag a rookie idol like Zhang Zishang, who debuted for a year, to the top of the [Bang Yun Billboard], allowing the young Zhang Zishang to have a champion single. So what about Gu Fan next? It should be the champion single too!
Therefore, whether this matter can be accomplished depends on Han Juetong’s disagreement.
Han Jue has the common problem of many people who are engaged in art, more emotional than rational, not at all like a person who has been in the entertainment industry since he was a child and only looks at the pros and cons. Sometimes he doesn’t even look like a mature adult, such as wanting to be with Zhang Yiman, no matter how big the obstacles behind him are. So Qin Xiaotong didn’t know what choice Han Jue would make.
“How are you sure that Han Jue will agree? If it doesn’t work out in the end, wouldn’t it be ridiculous for us to talk about what happened after apprenticeship for half a day?” Qin Xiaotong patted the documents on his desk, “Now time is money. “
In Guan Yi’s statement, Han Jue did not say that he decided to accept Zhang Zishang as an apprentice.
Guan Yi was not flustered when asked this question.
[Extreme Concert] ended yesterday, and the organization decided to give Han Jue a day off today to reward him for his hard work, and to wait for “In the Name of the Father” to ferment so that they can increase the price.
But in today’s rest day, Han Jue went out.
Guan Yi received a call from Han Jue early in the morning and drove Han Jue to where he wanted to go. After learning who Han Jue was going to meet today, Guan Yi determined that Han Jue would most likely accept Zhang Zishang as his apprentice.
“He will agree.” Guan Yi said.
It’s really too cold today, and I caught a cold again… After careful consideration, I won’t continue writing with half a chapter left, for fear of death. The two more appointments will be returned tomorrow.
