Chapter 526
After Jin Li finished the follow-up schedule with Sister Fang in the conference room.
Looking at the large blank spaces for the months starting from mid-March, April, May, June, and July, she has a long-lost feeling of returning to the past.
Jin Li looks at the blank schedule and suddenly smiles: "Sister Fang, in those years when I hadn't made a comeback, the schedule was also this blank, right?"
Sui Lingfang glances at it and shakes her head: "It wasn't quite this blank. You still had one or two announcements a month, but many were online announcements. You just had to show your face; there were very few offline announcements."
She still remembers that at that time, Jin Li's health was too poor, and the company didn't dare to arrange offline announcements for her at all.
They were afraid that she would suddenly faint while working.
In order to arrange suitable announcements for Jin Li, she spent a lot of effort and specifically listed a schedule of announcements suitable for her to run.
She would then find announcements for Jin Li based on the list above.
Thinking of this, Sui Lingfang's mood, which was not worried at all, surges into her heart.
If Jin Li hadn't suddenly brought up the past, she would have almost forgotten that Jin Li's health was very poor!
Sui Lingfang asks: "Is your health okay? Do you want me to arrange a nutritionist to be responsible for your three meals a day?"
Jin Li is stunned and hesitates: "I probably don't need to, right? I'll just stay in the apartment and review."
Sui Lingfang thinks for a while and says with a solemn expression: "No, I think you need one."
She says: "You are on vacation for these few months, focusing on reviewing. My focus will be on Qi Guan Mingzhu and Xi Sister Meng Ze, but I know your character."
Sui Lingfang pauses: "You are someone who, if you don't do something, you don't do it, but if you do, you will do it with your life."
"Without me watching you, I'm afraid you will forget to eat and sleep to study. Don't underestimate the energy required for studying; for every high school senior, this year of senior year is very hard."
Whether filming is tiring or being a high school senior is tiring, that's really hard to say.
Filming consumes more physical strength, while being a high school senior consumes the brain.
Sui Lingfang doesn't wait for Jin Li to answer and says decisively: "I'll change you to a large flat with better security and help you hire a nutritionist!"
Her brain turns quickly and she says again: "I also have to prepare a fitness trainer for you. Although reviewing is important, your body must also keep up.
Only by having a strong physique can you focus more on reviewing. What do you think?"
Jin Li laughs: "Do I have any room to refuse?"
Sui Lingfang says sternly: "No!"
Although Jin Li is helpless, a touch of warmth flashes in her heart.
Maybe this is the burden of love.
After finishing work with Sister Fang, she sends a message in the group and discovers that Qi Guan Mingzhu and Xi Sister Meng Ze are both in the company, so she walks over to take a look.
The third and fourth floors of the company have been renovated. This is the first time Jin Li has stepped onto the third floor since she came back from filming.
She finds the room with "IP Manufacturing Room" written on the doorplate, knocks on the door first, gets a response from inside, and then pushes the door open.
Qi Guan Mingzhu and Xi Sister Meng Ze are surrounding a display stand, blocking the things inside the display stand.
She walks over curiously and asks: "What are you chatting about?"
Qi Guan Mingzhu turns to look at Jin Li, her eyes light up and she says: "Come quickly, come quickly, the company has made our figure images!"
Jin Li raises her eyebrows and asks curiously: "So fast?"
It seems like less than two months have passed since she received the news before.
Qi Guan Mingzhu says: "Chenxi Entertainment should have had this plan for a long time. This IP figure plan was proposed by me. Not long after it was proposed, Chenxi had all kinds of design drawings ready."
Jin Li joins the onlookers.
Xi Sister Meng Ze's figure is a girl with long purple hair wearing youthful and vibrant clothes, holding a small and cute microphone in her hand.
She praises: "This microphone is made very beautifully, the details are good!"
It's not an ordinary microphone, but a star-style microphone.
Xi Sister Meng Ze says happily: "Sister Fang said that the material used for this microphone is different, and it will emit fluorescence at night!"
Qi Guan Mingzhu's figure is themed around "pearls." The style is a bit like the one launched by the game company, but if you look closely, the details are still very different.
The petite person has long black curly hair, wears a pearl hairpin, carries a pearl bag, and the necklace has pink colored beads.
The clothes don't highlight pearl elements, but she is wearing a skirt with polka dot elements.
Jin Li can't help but say: "Your figure looks a bit like pearl milk tea!"
Xi Sister Meng Ze's eyes light up: "Yes, yes, yes, I was just thinking about it, but I couldn't think of it. What you said is very appropriate. Seeing her figure makes me think of pearl milk tea!"
Qi Guan Mingzhu says with a grin: "When creating my image, the company communicated with me. Because I was afraid that Chenxi Entertainment was unreliable, I asked them to show me the design drawings first."
"Fortunately, I had foresight. In the first version designed at the beginning, there were also pearl elements on the clothes, and I felt it was too much and too messy.
Although there is a 'Zhu' (Pearl) character in my name, there is no need to use pearls for all elements, so I let them change the clothing to polka dot elements."
She says triumphantly: "It just so happens that polka dots are round, and pearls are also round. Isn't this even more 'silence is better than sound'?"
Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze say with admiration: "Makes sense!"
Jin Li looks at the last figure. This figure is the most finely crafted and complex.
Whether it's Xi Sister Meng Ze's or Qi Guan Mingzhu's figure, they are modern people, while the figure themed around her has directly become—
Not a human.
It's running towards the fantasy art style!
Jin Li's figure is dressed as an ancient goddess, stepping on blue waves one after another, with bright red koi fish rolling in the waves.
And around her, koi fish have jumped out, splashing water droplets. The water circles jumped out by the koi fish draw a circle behind her, looking like some kind of halo.
Xi Sister Meng Ze says: "Sister Fang said that the pearl one has a pearl bag with fluorescence, which can glow at night.
For yours, the water circle behind it has fluorescence, which can glow at night."
Qi Guan Mingzhu has a wild imagination: "Why don't we pull the curtains now, turn off the lights, and see the effect of these figures at night."
Jin Li sweats: "Aren't you too expectant of fluorescence? I remember the fluorescence effect of ordinary figures is not very outstanding, just barely able to see the shape clearly."
Qi Guan Mingzhu still wants to see and instigates: "Try it!"
No sooner said than done, those who pull the curtains pull the curtains, those who turn off the lights turn off the lights.
In the dark night, the three exquisite and petite figures emit different fluorescence.
The light effect brought by the fluorescence is indeed very weak, but everyone is very satisfied.
While Jin Li and the others are looking at the figures, Sui Lingfang is still handling the company's relevant affairs.
The first thing to handle is recruitment.
Chenxi Entertainment is in a period of rapid development and is expanding rapidly, very short of manpower.
Take the position of manager, for example.
The company is also very short, but what it lacks is not newcomers, but experienced veterans.
Luo Fan's resume appears in front of Sui Lingfang. She doesn't remember who this is for a moment, opens the resume to look, and nods with satisfaction.
Such talent is urgently needed by Chenxi Entertainment.
Not only can he bring himself over, but he also has stars in his hands, and can bring the stars and corresponding resources over together.
"It's just this name, why is it so familiar... Luo Fan..."
Sui Lingfang finally remembers something and flips through the resume of the artists he has brought.
The Ma Mingqi and Liu Dahua he brought both performed in "My Mediocre Life."
Sui Lingfang raises her eyebrows and says excitedly: "So this is the person Jin Li mentioned. No wonder I don't need to specifically instruct him. This person's resume is very good. HR will definitely not screen him out."
The hiring of the manager is finished quickly, and she looks at the hiring of the artists.
There are more artists wanting to join Chenxi Entertainment than managers, so the information in her hand is thicker than the previous one.
She browses through it quickly and flips to the resumes of Ma Mingqi, Liu Dahua, and Wang Hongdou.
Sui Lingfang can't help but be a bit happy.
"Jin Li mentioned this actor Wang Hongdou to me; she has some talent that can be cultivated. But she didn't say that Ma Mingqi and Liu Dahua also want to jump ship here."
She thinks to herself: "If I sign all these people, can I form a 【Mediocre Village Official Group】? Except for Xu Wenwen, the three village officials are all gathered!"
If it were just based on normal screening, these three people wouldn't actually pass.
Because these three people are not mature artists.
Chenxi Entertainment wants second-tier stars who already have a certain degree of popularity, so that even if they jump ship here, they are easy to cultivate and will be better to push out.
The treatment difference between a star whose name is known to the announcement party and a star whose name has never been heard of is too big.
But thinking that these three stars all participated in "My Mediocre Life," and this drama has a very heavy weight in Chenxi Entertainment, and the company participated in part of the investment, so they will look at the actors who participated in this drama with higher regard.
Sui Lingfang thinks for a while, waves her hand, and accepts all three stars.
Thinking that Liu Dahua and Ma Mingqi are both brought by Luo Fan, she simply arranges the artists for Luo Fan as well.
Pack them up, pack them all up!
These three artists are all stuffed into Luo Fan's hands.
Chenxi Entertainment's business is progressing smoothly, while Tianding Entertainment has not been very smooth in these few months.
The president asks about the renewal of San Yue Tian again.
After the assistant understands the progress, he returns to the office somewhat nervously and replies: "San Yue Tian is still stuck with the manager."
The president frowns: "It was stuck here during the New Year, and now it's mid-March, and it's still stuck here.
Don't tell me that after a month and a half, they can't even negotiate a detailed clause!"
Assistant: "The legal department told me that it was supposed to be negotiated, but because San Yue Tian had to run joint collaboration announcements, it delayed some time, leading to lagging progress."
The president asks in confusion: "Joint collaboration is not an endorsement; does it need to take up so much of a star's time?"
The assistant lowers his head nervously and says: "It is said that San Yue Tian has very high requirements for the quality of their joint collaboration products, so they went to the factory to spot-check and test them personally, and also participated in part of the joint collaboration design."
What the assistant didn't say is.
The legal department complained to him that because of San Yue Tian's high requirements, they had to grind the contract with the brand, and the contract alone was ground for nearly half a month, taking up a lot of their time.
But the assistant feels this is not a problem.
The company has so many artists, and there are so many announcements to run every day.
Just grinding a contract for so long can only be said to be incompetent.
At this time, the assistant didn't think at all that the contract with San Yue Tian was so hard to grind down, entirely because San Yue Tian was making trouble.
The president asks in a deep voice: "What else hasn't been negotiated regarding changing the manager?"
The assistant says quickly: "There is a veteran manager who is about to retire who is unwilling to bring Chen Lin, but Chen Lin specifically wants him to bring him because he feels this manager is responsible, relatively strict, and can manage him."
The president says with a headache: "What are the thoughts of that veteran manager?"
Assistant: "He just wants to retire, and he is not even willing to be rehired."
What can be done to convince a retired person to be rehired?
This question is really hard!
He has only heard of retired people begging to be rehired, never heard of people who got the opportunity to be rehired being disdainful.
The president thinks about it and says: "I'll go do Chen Lin's ideological work. Why does he have to choose such an old manager? The times are changing too fast now, and older people can't keep up with the trend at all. I'll arrange a younger one for him."
The assistant thinks so too.
But he has heard of Chen Lin's character, which is relatively willful, and maybe he will be stubborn.
That night, the president dialed Chen Lin's phone.
Coincidentally, Gu Cheng was brushing up on questions in the living room that day, connecting to a video with Jin Li.
Neither side could see each other's appearance; the camera was aimed at the test papers.
Gu Cheng, by his own strength, drove the other three to the restaurant!
Of course, Gu Cheng didn't say anything; it was the three of them who left in a dejected manner.
No way, who could imagine the lethality of two test papers when you open and close your eyes?
Too scary!
Especially that big pile of math and physics problems that they couldn't even understand. Chen Lin stated firmly: "If you let me keep looking, I will definitely have nightmares!"
In the restaurant.
Yan Xingdong and the others are all chatting, chatting about how to hold back the company in the next step.
Yan Xingdong specifically said to Chen Lin: "We have all settled the manager, and you are the only one left. The company will definitely talk to you. Take it easy, make concessions when you should."
Chen Lin: "It's just that the company talks to me once or twice, and I will make concessions, but the manager is solved. Is there no big problem with our contract?"
Luo Yi laughs: "How can there be no problem? Our profit-sharing ratio hasn't been negotiated yet. Have you ever seen a star renewing a contract who will keep the original profit-sharing with the company? Doesn't it have to go up again?"
Yan Xingdong says affirmatively: "Yes, this is a core interest issue, and the company will keep grinding with us.
And we don't have any leverage in their hands now. Before, we thought about the team developing together and not going solo, so we made concessions on the contract.
But now we are all going solo, and personal interests must be restored to normal. This depends on the sincerity of Tianding Entertainment."
Luo Yi is not optimistic about this.
"The arrogance unique to big companies might not give too much."
Chen Lin laughs: "Isn't that better? This gives more time to grind the contract."
Just at this time, Chen Lin's phone rang.
It was a call from the president of Tianding Entertainment.
