Chapter 336: Work exchange, industry inside story
Gong Jiajia didn't hear the deep meaning in He Yixuan's words, and said without thinking:
"Yes, it's difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to work hard. I believe that one day it will be achieved!"
Brave Jiajia, not afraid of difficulties, GO!
He Yixuan looked at Gong Jiajia with some envy. She could never do this kind of firm and optimistic personality.
If she were this kind of person, He Yixuan thought, then she probably wouldn't have been so entangled in the past few months.
But the reason she did this was also for her own career, He Yixuan didn't think she was wrong.
If a man is not for himself, heaven will destroy him.
The only thing she feels guilty about is that the company has indeed paid a lot of resources for her, but she just doesn't have the luck to explode. At the same time, the agent didn't plan her development route wholeheartedly.
Until now, He Yixuan is still dissatisfied with Sui Lingfang's attitude towards her, unlike before. Anger can be suppressed, but there will eventually be a day of explosion.
—Jumping ship is He Yixuan's answer to Sui Lingfang.
Jin Li walked into the brokerage department, and the whole place was busy.
Now there are more people in Chenxi Entertainment's brokerage department.
This year, the company not only found many 18th-tier artists to cultivate, but also expanded the agent team.
Employees who accept agent training do not necessarily become agents for artists after joining the job, perhaps they will be transferred to various departments.
But no matter which department they go to, the company takes agent training as the basic training for joining the job, hoping that employees in each department will not be out of touch with artists.
Only by putting yourself in the artist's shoes to understand the artist's needs can you better serve the artist.
At the same time, the training of the economic department can also exercise the employee's sensitivity to the entertainment circle. Even if they go to other departments, they can quickly grasp the hot spots and design events for artists that are highly likely to be on the hot search.
It is exactly the sentence netizens said: The accident you see is just a necessity carefully designed.
Of course, the most dramatic place in the entertainment circle is—
Forced promotion cannot produce a full-network explosion. The "roughness" that has not been carved will instead arouse the interest of netizens.
Chenxi Entertainment didn't expect to really plan hot search events for artists. Better service for artists and employees not being able to understand the wind direction of the entertainment circle and asking three questions is their goal.
"Jin Li is here!" An agent saw Jin Li and his eyes lit up, and immediately greeted her.
As if causing a chain reaction, other agents put down their affairs and looked up to greet Jin Li.
"Good afternoon, Jin Li!"
"Come on, Jin Li, I have always liked your works, every movie and TV series has been chased!"
"Jin Li, welcome to the company!"
Jin Li nodded one by one with a smile.
It has to be said that although Chenxi Entertainment is a small company, the company culture is good. There are exclusive culture day activities every month. People working here look quite happy on the surface.
Every time Jin Li comes to the company, she can get full emotional value from them. Just because of this, I believe other artists like to come to the company very much.
Jin Li didn't know that the treatment of all agents stopping their affairs to greet her in the office, except for her, only Xi Sister Meng Ze possessed.
Many artists are very envious of Jin Li. Just because of the service consciousness of such agents, they want to try it no matter what.
Even more so, this is the goal.
Not for anything else, just to make everyone in the company see her and have to "look up".
Although the agents in the office were very enthusiastic, Jin Li didn't stay long and slipped into Sui Lingfang's office quickly.
Sui Lingfang was working with her head down, writing and drawing with a water pen in her hand.
Hearing the movement of knocking on the door, she looked up and happened to see Jin Li opening the door and coming in, and couldn't help but smile brightly.
Sui Lingfang said: "Back from running the job?"
Jin Li nodded, her eyes slightly excited: "You must watch this issue of "Leisurely Slow Life". I guarantee you, we recorded it very explosively, you can't imagine what role we experienced!"
Sui Lingfang asked curiously: "What did you experience, that even you are so optimistic about?"
Jin Li is not a person who can be very happy because of a small thing. Her attitude towards many things is very indifferent.
It's like accepting a job, unless it's a very high-quality job, she will be slightly surprised, and other jobs are treated with a normal heart.
For example, opening up special line products, Jin Li just ordered a sentence to do so, without any expectation or excitement.
This is also a reason why the media feels that Jin Li will retire at any time. Many of her performances are not like artists in the entertainment circle.
When other artists are busy running jobs, she is busy brushing questions and learning.
When other artists have time to relax, they are all kinds of travel or staying at home, while Jin Li runs to the Taoist temple.
The most critical point is that she runs to the Taoist temple during work, and runs to the Taoist temple when she has nothing to do.
Except for brushing questions and learning, even netizens can say what Jin Li likes to do most, and that is to go to the Taoist temple to offer incense.
It is also because Jin Li often runs to the Taoist temple, unknowingly driving the number of tourists in many Taoist temples.
Since last year, the number of tourists in Taoist temples across China has soared rapidly, three times more than the year before last, and as for this year... the data is probably even more inflated.
Jin Li said with a smile: "The program team said we can promote it outside, but we must keep the content secret."
Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows, and could feel her good mood.
She didn't ask about this, but sat by the sofa, sat face to face with Jin Li, and brought up another matter.
"There is good news to tell you. A few days ago, I reached a consensus with President Nan of Duomi. The product can be exclusively authorized to you for two years. In these two years, Duomi will not launch similar formula products, and will fully promote your co-branded products."
Jin Li quickly understood something: "Two years, just stuck to my contract period, this year is very good."
Sui Lingfang said with satisfaction: "Yes, other division ratios have already been talked about, and there is no change. Duomi had some thoughts, but they were all suppressed by me."
Her eyes revealed a bit of sharp edge: "Duomi set you as the spokesperson very early, and now it is only the second year of the contract. The return you gave them far exceeds their investment in you. It's not bad that we didn't raise the price on the spot.
The endorsement fee set before has not changed, but if you develop new cooperation with them in your current status, then everything will be based on your current worth. This matter is one yard at a time."
Jin Li nodded and said with satisfaction: "Sister Fang, I am relieved that you handle things."
Sui Lingfang smiled, although she was very happy, she also had to give the artist a preventive injection.
"Although the exclusive rights to the products for these two years belong to you, I am afraid that only the first half year after the launch will be the most profitable, and the profit will be lower and lower later.
After all, the cosmetics industry updates very quickly. Duomi cannot promote you all year round. They also have many new products in research and development.
Your co-branded model, I guess it will only be promoted as a quarterly new product. After this quarter, it will start to promote the next quarter's new products."
Jin Li nodded, and she also expected this situation.
"At least my model is unique, and no similar products will be launched in these two years, which can be considered as having no substitutability.
We can't control the formula, after all, we don't understand the cosmetics industry, but we can try it in advance and put forward opinions on the skin feel. I hope to control this part well."
Sui Lingfang immediately picked up her mobile phone and recorded it, "The part you mentioned is skin feel. I will communicate with Duomi when I have time later."
Jin Li added: "And the ingredients must be safe and reliable, don't use controversial materials."
Sui Lingfang: "For example?"
Jin Li: "Some brands have developed some ingredients that are very effective for whitening or anti-aging, but this ingredient has not been verified by the state.
That is to say, the industry has not set a standard for this ingredient, and there is no regulation on how much to add, and it cannot exceed what concentration... We cannot use these controversial ingredients."
Sui Lingfang: "OK, my idea is the same as yours. I would rather use verified ingredients than aggressively try new things."
Speaking of this, Sui Lingfang asked curiously: "How did you suddenly understand so much? Did you take time out of your busy schedule to do your homework?"
Jin Li's words were choked, and she didn't know how to explain her luck to Sui Lingfang.
It really was... good luck.
She also spends two or three hours online every day. Don't underestimate the time management master. In the case of not running jobs, if she studies every day, she can still spend two hours online.
Going online is inevitable to brush some videos. The cosmetics industry knowledge she learned, the pits specially set by the brand... are all videos she brushed and saw.
She doesn't know why the videos pushed to her by the mobile phone happened to be related to her endorsement.
Anyway, one is interested in watching, and the other is pushing hard to her. In her spare time, she learned a lot of industry inside stories.
Jin Li smiled at Sui Lingfang.
Sui Lingfang didn't know what she made up, and gave her a thumbs up: "Really professional!"
Jin Li was still smiling.
"As for the magazine shooting cooperation with Fang Fei, Fang Fei decided to postpone it after careful consideration. The shooting originally scheduled for two days later, they decided to postpone it to next week to shoot, saying they wanted to make a better plan."
Sui Lingfang sighed: "This time Fang Fei is also serious, it seems that they must compare Huayun!"
Jin Li nodded slightly; the more attentive Fang Fei was to her affairs, the happier she felt, as she didn't want to be looked down upon by Hua Yun either.
Refusing Huayun and choosing Fang Fei, she also thought about it after a lot of entanglement. I hope Fang Fei can bring her surprises this time.
Seeing that Sui Lingfang had nothing else to talk about, Jin Li took the initiative to ask: "Still haven't found a suitable script?"
Sui Lingfang shook her head: "No, many scripts have been submitted, but the character images overlap with the characters you have played before.
Actually, it doesn't matter if they overlap, as long as the character design is good, but many scripts are not well designed in terms of plot. Even if the character design is good, it is difficult to have the potential to explode if you encounter a lackluster plot."
Jin Li: "It doesn't matter, we have a lot of time to wait."
She thought for a while and said slowly: "Do you know Pearl's company?"
Pearl?
Sui Lingfang's brain was instantly activated. She hadn't heard of an artist named "Pearl", so it could only be a nickname that Jin Li was used to calling...
Ding dong!
Sui Lingfang immediately thought of Qi Guan Mingzhu.
The nicknames that Pink Girls called each other privately were quite appropriate.
Qi Guan Mingzhu is called "Pearl", not because of the name, but because she likes to wear pearl jewelry very much. Pearl is a fashion item that she has been inseparable from for many years.
Ji Qinglian is called "Lotus", not because of the name, but because she was a captain and had to deal with many emergencies, so she had to make herself calm like a lotus, heart clean like a lotus, not sad or happy.
As for Jin Li's nickname "Koi", it is even easier to understand. It is said that Jin Li's luck was very good before, but her luck has become better in recent years.
Sui Lingfang pondered and said: "Qi Guan Mingzhu's company, I remember it is called Century Entertainment, this company..."
Her expression was a bit disgusted, "Not very good."
Jin Li asked hurriedly: "How to say?"
Sui Lingfang: "Out of professional quality, I have investigated this company and understood some things. Not to mention the news I got from the inside, just what I investigated.
Century Entertainment is closely bound with Qi Guan Mingzhu, which means that this company is completely built on the core matrix of Qi Guan Mingzhu, and the most critical person is Qi Guan Mingzhu.
Once Qi Guan Mingzhu is outdated, this company will quickly disappear in the entertainment circle."
Sui Lingfang gave Jin Li some digestion time, specially went to brew a pot of Biluochun, and said while drinking.
"This strategic core is not to say it is not good, it is just that there is no ambition, just wanting to cling to Pearl, instead of cultivating the company's facade.
If it were another company, this strategy would probably have been finished long ago. After all, no matter how popular a celebrity is, there will eventually be an expiration date. No one can stand at the peak of traffic.
But Qi Guan Mingzhu is different. She is a member of Pink Girls, and the public base is very wide. She can be an evergreen tree in the entertainment circle."
Sui Lingfang's words turned, as if she had entered the artist's perspective, very dissatisfied:
"But the problem also appears here. They will not plan Qi Guan Mingzhu's career, leading to just a few years, her popularity has slipped from a first-tier celebrity to a second-tier celebrity.
You also know that Qi Guan Mingzhu has participated in many variety shows. The personality shown in the variety show is out of the circle. Many netizens know that she loves to watch comics, loves to go to comic exhibitions, and sometimes speaks with a very anime style.
But Century Entertainment will not take
Jin Li sensed that Sui Lingfang was somewhat agitated, so she looked up at her and discovered that her expression held a sense of frustration at her lack of improvement.
"Believe it or not, if it weren't for the fact that Yu Guan Mingzhu accepted the variety show 'Leisurely Slow Life,' her popularity would likely have dropped to the bottom tier of second-rate stars. Being able to recover her status as a first-rate star is entirely due to her good luck.
If I remember correctly, the variety show 'Leisurely Slow Life' wasn't even booked for her by the company; she accepted it privately without reporting it to the company, which caused a very strained relationship with them at the time.
Later, when the show aired and became a hit, her company let go of their grudges and, based on the popularity she had gained, booked many second- and third-rate variety shows for her.
Later still, when 'Leisurely Slow Life' was about to film its second season, her company even bypassed the artist and communicated with the production team privately, demanding an increase in her appearance fee..."
Jin Li couldn't stop nodding; the subsequent events matched up perfectly.
Sui Lingfang couldn't help but complain: "You have no idea how high the appearance fee her company demanded was; Tian Ding Entertainment only refrained from blowing up out of consideration for Yu Guan Mingzhu!
I heard from a friend that they asked for even more than the appearance fee for March Sky. Where on earth did her company get the courage?"
