The straight man of steel in the entertainment industry

But he didn't want to be tricked by them, Yu Hui refused them all.

Yu Hui didn't have time to accept interviews either. He had to watch over the final production of the Masked Singer Finals, and he also had to manage some things about the Spring Festival Gala.

However, external interviews can be rejected, but internal relationships cannot be avoided.

On the second day after the recording of the finals, Zhou Xiaodong, vice president of the masked singer producer Fang Xingcan Entertainment, came to Lizhitai in person.

Xingcan Entertainment Company is to Lizhi TV, just like Tianyun is to Mango TV. They are all partners with the TV station. Although Lizhi TV is not as good as Mango TV, Xingcan's strength is not inferior to Tianyun, even stronger How many points.

The elder brother and sister of Xingcan's family are all considered to be first-line, which is much better than Wen Xin, who has only one quasi-first-line in Tianyun.

The guests in the early stage of the Masked Singer show, many artists are also singers under Xingcan's banner, and many people complained that it was Xingcan's special show.

With frequent business contacts between the two, Yu Hui and Zhou Xiaodong are naturally familiar with each other.

Seeing Zhou Xiaodong coming, Yu Hui also had a bad feeling.

"Why did Mr. Zhou have time to come to my place today?"

Zhou Xiaodong is a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old, with a fat body, but he looks quite shrewd.

"Aren't I here to congratulate you, Director Yu? I've heard that the finals is very exciting and unexpected. The broadcast the day after tomorrow will definitely break new records." Zhou Xiaodong said with a smile.

Yu Hui smiled, thinking that he knew really fast enough, fortunately Lin Li didn't reveal his face in the finals, otherwise the whole world would know by now.

"The program is co-produced by our TV station and your Xingcan. If the ratings really break a new high, we will be happy too."

Zhou Xiaodong said with a smile: "Oh, then our company is somewhat ashamed. It can be said that we picked up a ready-made bargain, haha, it was Yu Dao who worked hard, and I don't know where you invited such a mysterious guest. Really. Eye-opening."

Hearing what he said, Yu Hui suddenly realized why he came here, and became a little vigilant.

"I'm also lucky, and he didn't mind agreeing, so I have today's results."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaodong leaned closer and asked, "Director Yu, are you talking about him next to Single, or her next to the female character?"

Yu Hui understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid this issue won't be revealed until the Spring Festival Gala."

"Why, Director Yu doesn't trust me?" Zhou Xiaodong said jokingly.

"President Zhou, it's just that I promised him to keep this a secret, and I didn't even tell our director."

Yu Hui's words are very clear, I didn't even give our station director face, you just have to be sensible, otherwise it won't look good.

Zhou Xiaodong was a little embarrassed, smiled and said, "Director Yu, the recording of the finals is over. It can be said that the guests have nothing to do with your show, but there is still another season of your show."

What Zhou Xiaodong meant was that the relationship between Xingcan and Lizhitai is still there, and there will be more cooperation in the future, and this season of the show is over, this guest can almost be regarded as an abandoned child, and it doesn't matter if he reveals some information.

Yu Hui hesitated a little, in the entertainment industry, profit comes first, everything is based on profit, do what is beneficial, promises are not important at all, especially verbal promises.

But thinking of a month ago, when his show was about to go viral, when he was approved in the director's office, when he applied for a budget and was made things difficult by the financial department, and when he invited guests, Yu Hui still shook his head firmly.

"Mr. Zhou, this guest will be a great person in the future. I don't want to offend him yet. Just let me go."

Yu Hui thought to himself that he would rather offend Xingcan than offend Lin Li. Even if it was for the sake of profit, as far as the popularity of the masked singer show is concerned, whether Xingcan joins or not is irrelevant, but he still wants to do the show in the future, so he can say no. Lin Li will be asked someday.

Zhou Xiaodong was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Yu Hui would still refuse to let go, but he immediately felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Director Yu, I think you may have misunderstood, I didn't come here out of my own curiosity, I came here on behalf of us The company wants to talk to this guest to see if there is a possibility of signing a contract. It’s not that they don’t know who he is, so I hope you can reveal something, don’t worry, I’m a tight-lipped person.”

Yu Hui understood, Xingcan wanted to poach someone.

"Mr. Zhou, this guest has a brokerage company, and as far as I know, they have a very good relationship. I think you should not waste your energy."

Zhou Xiaodong said: "A good relationship? Haha, no matter how good the relationship is, it has a relationship with money, okay? As long as the money is paid enough, I think he will change his mind."

Seeing that he did not give up, Yu Hui hesitated, "Why don't you contact me after the Spring Festival Gala is unveiled?"

"No, no, you also know that the discussion he has caused on the Internet is even more heated than the superstar Uranus, let alone after the finals are broadcast. No singer has had such a discussion in the past ten years. Now many The entertainment companies are all trying to get his idea, but they are all struggling, and our company hopes to be one step ahead, and we have asked many people in the program group, and they don't know, so this is not coming to you. "

Zhou Xiaodong has said so much, but there is actually only one important point, that is, they want to take advantage of the time when everyone has no way to contact the mysterious guest himself. After the mysterious guest is revealed, other entertainment companies can also contact him. At that time, if Xingcan wants to poach her, she won't be able to compare with those companies with the most abundant funds in the entertainment industry.

Yu Hui naturally understood the truth, Zhou Xiaodong said so, and he didn't want to refute his face too much, so he said: "Mr. Zhou, how about it, let me send you a message and ask him what he means. I will definitely tell you his information when you revealed your identity to discuss the contract, but please understand if he is unwilling to reveal his identity."

Zhou Xiaodong felt displeased, but he couldn't say anything. After all, the two parties are just a cooperative relationship, not superiors and subordinates.

"Okay, then there will be director Lao Yu. You can tell him the price. We just need to talk face to face. We also need to know his true identity before we can give a final price assessment."

Yu Hui nodded and said: "Okay, I will definitely bring this word."

After speaking, Yu Hui picked up the phone and wanted to make a call, but suddenly remembered something, couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xiaodong, smiled awkwardly, then went to a distance and called Lin Li.

Yu Hui told Lin Li about this, but Lin Li naturally refused. If he wanted to change his agency, he would have left with Sister Hua long ago.

Although Xingcan Entertainment's strength is good, it's not as good as Sister Hua's Juxing Entertainment Company, and Juxing has many first-line and superstars. Among all the entertainment companies, its strength is the strongest.

As for Sister Hua, it can be said that she is the strongest agent under the stars.

Lin Li even refused the invitation of the strongest agent from the strongest company, so naturally he looked down on Xingcan's olive branch even more.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Hui walked up to Zhou Xiaodong and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, but he doesn't want to reveal the identity of this guest, and he has no intention of changing the company."

Zhou Xiaodong frowned, and said, "Didn't you tell him the price, so he can ask for it?"

"Of course he did, but he said he was not short of money."

Zhou Xiaodong was stunned. He always felt that this mysterious guest who was missed by the guessing group and countless netizens should not be a particularly famous person, otherwise it is impossible for everyone not to guess.

Since he is not a famous person, how can he not be short of money?

Are there still people in the entertainment industry who don't love money?

Or, did this person see through his intentions a long time ago and knew that he was ready to sell?

"Heh, since that's the case, I really want to see who he is after the Spring Festival Gala is unveiled!"

While Yu Hui was talking with Zhou Xiaodong, in the internal meeting room of Tianyun Entertainment in Xiangzhou, seven or eight leaders of the company's music department gathered.

The person who presided over this meeting was Yan Jiawei, Vice President of Tianyun.

"Why did you call everyone here today? I think you all know clearly. The people sitting here are all my own people. If I have something to say, I'll just say it."

"Because of Lin Li's incident last year, our company's performance in the second half of the year has been very poor, and the annual report is even more ugly, so this year the company plans to make some changes."

"There are still more than three months before the start of the new round of the draft, but according to our market research, the draft show has entered a weak period, and the ratings will no longer be the same as the previous two years, and there are many newcomers with great potential. They were basically screened out in the first two years, and the possibility of selecting Wen Xin through the draft is very slim."

"At this time, we decided not to focus on talent shows and cultivate artists ourselves, but to change our strategy and directly recruit some artists who can bring huge benefits to the company."

Speaking of this, Yan Jiawei paused for a moment, looked at the few people present, and said, "We have a list of candidate artists, but they have priorities. The first one is Bai Wuchang from the masked singer. I I think you all know music, and you should know him, but we don’t know the real identity of this person, and we can’t contact him. Let's analyze and judge who this mysterious guest might be, so we can get in touch."

As Yan Jiawei said, he clicked a few times on the computer in front of him, and the masked singer Bai Wuchang on stage was projected on the big screen in the conference room.
