Chapter 577: Damn, these hate fans are truly insidious

"How about this: although I can't give you an advance on your salary, I can lend you whatever money you need right now," Xu Tian said. "You can just pay me back after you get your paycheck."

"Is that really okay?" Qin Yuqing had originally given up all hope, but hearing Xu Tian's words, she was overjoyed and looked at him with gratitude.

"Add me on WeChat, and I'll transfer it to you." Xu Tian took out his phone and pulled up his QR code.

"Thank you, Agent Xu. I will definitely pay you back the moment I get my salary!" Qin Yuqing scanned the code to add Xu Tian on WeChat and couldn't help but thank him again. "I'm really grateful to you!"

"Don't mention it. Once your financial problems are resolved, you should focus on your work. I look forward to your performance after joining Flourishing Stars Media."

To Xu Tian, this sum of money wasn't a large amount. If he could keep an experienced agent like Qin Yuqing at the company, it would be considered a win.

"Mm-hmm, I will definitely work hard!" Qin Yuqing nodded. "Then, Agent Xu, what will my main responsibilities be after I start?"

"The company doesn't have many artists at the moment. Shang Yiran has his own dedicated agent, and there are some trainees who don't have debut plans yet."

"The company is currently planning a nationwide talent show variety program. After it airs, we will sign some of the popular contestants. I will assign them to you then. For now, you need to assist me in managing the daily work of Nie Jingjing and Yan Qingxue."

"Understood."

Qin Yuqing had originally thought Flourishing Stars Media was just a small company and that since she had no artists to manage, she would inevitably end up doing odd jobs. She hadn't expected to be able to help Xu Tian and handle the daily schedules of artists.

After all, Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue were both fairly well-known female singers with considerable status and value. Even just being a junior executive agent by Xu Tian's side was more promising than her previous position at Da Wang Entertainment.

After settling the contract issues, Qin Yuqing reported to the company the next day.

Xu Tian personally took her to meet the staff in various departments and, while he was at it, took her to the variety show recording site to introduce her to Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue.

Now that the auditions for the variety show were all over, the next phase to record was the daily training and classes for the advancing contestants, followed by a stage performance assessment every week.

Qin Yuqing was experienced, intelligent, and hardworking, so she didn't need much guidance from Xu Tian and quickly adapted to her current work.

At the same time, Nie Jingjing's new album also began entering the preparation stage.

During this period, Xu Tian still left her and Murong Xue to Qin Yuqing. Apart from the major brand deals he negotiated personally, all other interviews, guest appearances, and similar schedules were handled by Qin Yuqing.

Of course, Xu Tian wasn't idle during this time either; he was working on another matter. He intended to sign Yun Shuo to his company.

Yun Shuo had always dreamed of being a singer-songwriter, but his parents only had him as a son, and he usually had to balance his work at the company.

Just after Xu Tian left the Xu Group and entered the entertainment industry, Yun Shuo also returned to the Yun family's company.

In his spare time, he wrote his own songs and uploaded them to music forums. He was now a minor internet celebrity with a million followers.

Moreover, the songs he wrote and composed himself were very popular. Many video websites used his songs as BGM and gave him copyright royalties.

After more than a year, under Yun Shuo's management, the Yun family's company had already ranked among the top 50 enterprises in Jiangcheng. Yun Shuo also proposed to his parents that they find a professional manager to run the company.

At first, Yun Shuo's parents didn't agree to him entering the entertainment industry, but after Yun Shuo showed them the number of followers on his music platform, his parents compromised and made a pact with him.

If Yun Shuo didn't win a mainstream award within three years of entering the entertainment industry and his followers didn't exceed 20 million, he would have to retire from the industry and focus on managing the Yun Group.

After learning about this situation, Xu Tian joked with him: "If you can't make it big in the entertainment industry, you'll be forced to inherit the family business."

Yun Shuo punched Xu Tian and laughed, "Then are you going to sign me or not? I'm a hot commodity as a newcomer right now. Quite a few agencies have already come to talk to me about signing, and some are offering pretty good terms. I'm only considering signing with your company because we're good friends. Don't miss out on such a good opportunity."

Yun Shuo was very confident in his own development.

"After all, there aren't many singers like me who can make money and have talent!"

Xu Tian said: "Sign, of course I'll sign you, but not right now."

"Not right now?" Yun Shuo was a bit puzzled.

"When the variety show 'All People's Singer-Songwriter' goes online in a while, I'll invite you to be a special guest for the grand finale. We'll announce the signing to the public during the live broadcast then."

Yun Shuo was stunned, but then he understood Xu Tian's intention.

"You're something else, kid. You've completely mastered the marketing strategies of the entertainment industry."

Although he was a somewhat well-known internet singer now, his popularity in the entertainment industry still wasn't enough, and Flourishing Stars Media was a new company just starting out. Even if he signed now, it wouldn't cause much of a splash.

But once the 'All People's Singer-Songwriter' variety show went online and caused a sensation in the entertainment industry, announcing the signing at the grand finale would not only get him more attention but also increase traffic for the show and Flourishing Stars Media. It could be called killing two birds with one stone.

"Then it's decided!" Yun Shuo trusted Xu Tian very much, so he left the signing and subsequent work arrangements entirely to Xu Tian to handle.

Anyway, his main interest was writing and singing songs. As for marketing and other schedule arrangements, it was better to leave them to a professional like Xu Tian.

He and Xu Tian talked in a coffee shop for the whole morning. During that time, he even played his newly written songs for Xu Tian to hear and asked for his opinions.

Just as the two were about to leave, Xu Tian suddenly received a call from Nie Jingjing.

"Mr. Xu, I want to change producers!" Nie Jingjing was like a peacock with its feathers ruffled, her tone full of anger. "This kid Jiang Fengyang is too much! I only sang two lines at the recording studio today, and he belittled me as worthless, saying I can't sing at all!"

"In short, I, Nie Jingjing, will absolutely not work with such an arrogant jerk. Even if this album doesn't get released, I must have him replaced!"

Today was the first day in the studio, and only a few hours had passed, yet Nie Jingjing couldn't help but call to complain. It seemed Jiang Fengyang's requirements for her were truly strict.

After all, this person was a famous devil producer in the entertainment industry, and Nie Jingjing was high-minded and liked to throw tantrums. It was within his expectations that she wouldn't be able to hold on and would want to quit.

Therefore, he calmly said to the woman on the verge of exploding with anger: "Have you forgotten the Weibo post you made earlier? If you don't win the Golden Melody Queen award, you'll retire from the industry. Your hate fans have already started a giveaway on Weibo, waiting to send you the endorsed products when you retire."

Nie Jingjing: "..."

Damn, these hate fans are truly insidious. ===== CHAPTER 578 =====
