Let you invest, you support half of the entertainment industry?

"Next, let's talk about the candidate for the male lead. This is also a vote for everyone. I will recommend one first. Our Chinese actor, Duan Yihong, won the Best Actor at the Tokyo Film Festival not long ago." Xu Jia continued.

The reason why he recommended Duan Yihong was simple. The latter's management contract had been signed in Jiaxing, and an artist studio was set up specifically for Duan Yihong.

When the words fell, there was another round of approval.

Li Zaixian's eyes were full of resistance. He wanted to recommend actors from Korea. How could such an opportunity to show his face be given to actors from other countries? He must give it to Korea.

But his arms couldn't hold his thighs, and he couldn't even be considered an arm, at most a little finger. How could he compete with Xu Jia, who had the entire board of directors on his side?

This proposal was decisively passed. Before the filming of "Squid Game" started, the biggest beneficiary had already appeared, and that was Jiaxing.

It's just that most of the people in the video conference have no objections. All they want is the fruits of success, and Xu Jia is obviously an old farmer who has produced countless fruits. If you don't believe him, is it possible to believe in Li Zaixian, a loser?

Of course, Xu Jia also knows that it is not good to look too ugly. He is already satisfied with the two core positions of director and male lead.

So he said: "The remaining roles will be recommended by everyone. The premise is that they fit the role. Don't forget that the quality of the project is the first priority. In addition, the scenery will be handed over to the Hengdian Group. They are responsible for this. Professional, no problem?”

Originally, the ownership of the scenery was bound to cause some controversy.

Whether it is simple investors like Penguin or entertainment companies from other countries such as Lee Jae-sun and Shimatani Nomako, they will tend to leave it to their own people.

But Xu Jia took the initiative to release the remaining characters, which means that he only got the core three pieces of the cake, so everyone turned a blind eye and competed for other cakes.

The founder of the streaming media company is Xu Jia. Everyone here has been in contact with Xu Jia before agreeing to join the company. In terms of voting, Xu Jia is naturally the one with the most advantage.

Seeing that he had nothing else to do, he didn't intend to join in the rest of the discussion, so he handed the stage over to these representatives and quietly withdrew.

Outside the door, Yang Tianzhen had been waiting for a long time and took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Xu, I want to talk to you about artist management."

The sun was shining in the west, and the other party was Xu Jia's most decisive subordinate.

Xu Jia was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure, let's go to my office to talk. I just want to tell you something. There is a new department that is going to be established that needs your cooperation and support."

After he said this, he saw Yang Tianzhen's expression change, and there was confusion and caution in his eyes.

In her position, a new department that requires their cooperation and support has been established, but there is no news at all. Could it be that Mr. Xu is trying to beat her. What did she do that dissatisfied the boss?

It's not that she overthinks it, it's just that she has been in the workplace for a long time, and she is at the senior management level. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and every move of the boss may have hidden meanings.

Xu Jia noticed the change in Yang Tianzhen's expression and realized that the other party might have misunderstood. He then chuckled and said, "You are overthinking it. It's not that you were not notified in advance. The whole company didn't know that I planned to set it up on my own initiative." There are only three core members at present, and because of the shady nature, I don’t plan to let too many people know. For now, only you and Miao Yuqing know. I may tell Zeng Jia later, but no more will It’s appropriate.”

As for Da Mimi, it is enough to protect her from wind and rain, and there is no need for her to come into contact with these dark sides.

Yang Tianzhen's heart dropped into her stomach and she breathed a long sigh of relief. She didn't ask any more questions. Since Mr. Xu said so, it must be the boss's reason.

When it's time for her to know, she will know naturally.

A flash of appreciation flashed in Xu Jia's eyes. Such a discerning subordinate is quite worry-free.

When he arrived at the office, Xu Jia made himself a pot of tea, then poured a cup for Yang Tianzhen, and asked: "What's going on with the artist management? I don't think this part of the company is developing very well. Have you hired anyone recently?" A good young talent has come in. Sister Zeng showed me two of them some time ago, and they both have great potential."

Regarding this aspect, he is quite relieved. After all, Yang Tianzhen and Zeng Jia are both managers. They control the artist management department. So far, there have been no mistakes. On the contrary, under the condition of free rein, their results are still very proud. people.

"The current results are good, but what I'm worried about is the future. The idol economy is coming to an end, and all artists who are somewhat famous have chosen to set up their own businesses. Even if they are trained, they would rather litigate and regain their freedom. We are just making money now. If you calculate the meager profits carefully, it will probably turn into a close-cost operation in the future." Yang Tianzhen sighed.

She herself didn't expect that the entertainment industry would develop so fast, so fast that she wouldn't be able to react, and her foundation would be eliminated.

To be honest, she even came up with the idea of ​​making plus-size women's clothing, which shows how unsure she is of her own profession.

"Didn't I say it from the beginning? Don't treat artists as separate commodities. In this case, neither they nor we will get the maximum benefit. We should treat them as value-added add-ons. We at Jiaxing have always been With the project-based packaging approach, the value of the artist is not only reflected in the salary, but also in the benefits it can bring to the company in other directions."

"For example, in terms of publicity, bringing in new people, or the stability of film and television drama sequels, these hidden values ​​are difficult to show on the surface, but they do exist, but the ceiling problem you are worried about is indeed worth considering."

Xu Jiamo stroked his chin. The decline of artist managers is an irreversible trend. If companies want to make money, they have to steal from artists. The status of both parties is reversed with the rise of fame.

In particular, Jiaxing's ability to praise people is well known in the entire circle. In addition, Xu Jia has always been very generous to artists in terms of contracts, which makes this business the most useless among Jiaxing's various businesses.

"In this way, we can deepen our exploration in areas other than the artist's main business. For example, the artist's endorsement, advertising, and commercial performances are generally the majority of the agent's profit. While ensuring that the artist's main business is not delayed, we can go to Develop online and be a guest for live broadcasts selling goods, but this aspect must be strictly controlled.”

"In addition, we can not only focus on artists, but Internet celebrities are actually a huge resource. Judging from the booming development of short videos, celebrities have greater potential than artists, and the two are not incompatible. Merge each other.”

Xu Jia gave his own suggestions. Then he gestured to the other party to drink tea and continued: "Don't take it too seriously. Even if the efficiency of this business decreases, it is still an indispensable part of the company. If you can't increase the upper limit, then increase the width."
