Perfect Superstar

Beijing Fourth Ring Road, Delong Building.

Delong Building is very famous in this high-rise financial and business district, because it gathers a number of first-class entertainment media and music production companies in Beijing, such as Tianlai Music Workshop, Jindie Culture, Sunshine Records and so on.

Therefore, people who work in this building can often see stars and idols coming in and out. If you find any corner outside the building, there may be entertainment reporters and guys commonly known as paparazzi squatting there.

The agency of EMI Culture is also in the Delong Building, but the strength and scale of this medium-sized brokerage company cannot be compared with that of Jindie Culture, and the office is located on the 7th floor, which is in a poor location.

There is a saying in the entertainment industry, that is, if multiple companies are in the same building, the stronger and more famous ones tend to live in higher places, otherwise they would rather find another place than be inferior to others.

This statement may not be very reliable, but at least in the Delong Building, the situation is really similar.

Even so, it is not ordinary small companies that can occupy a place in Delong Building.

EMI Culture Brokerage Company has dozens of artists and hundreds of trainees. Among the artists who have debuted, there are many second- and third-tier stars and idols, and their strength is not bad.

It is said that there are as many as 2,000 entertainment brokerage companies in Beijing, but only one-tenth of them are truly qualified.

After 1 pm, it is the hottest time of the day.

Although the central air conditioner in the Delong Building is working well and provides enough air-conditioning, Wen Zhiyuan, who is sitting in the office, still feels bored. He even drank two bottles of iced mineral water, but there is still an inexplicable evil fire running around in his body , causing fine sweat to ooze from his forehead.

This 40-year-old middle-aged fat man is the director of the Brokerage Department of EMI Brokerage Company.

The brokerage department is the most important department of a brokerage company. The position of director is the middle and high level of the company.

However, Wen Zhiyuan has never had the pleasure of being in power, because the brokerage department has a lot of power and a high budget. Therefore, there are many mothers-in-law at the top. There are general manager, director, deputy general manager, and deputy director far away, and there are department managers and deputy managers nearby. There are three supervisors at the same level as him.

Leaving aside one of the trainee supervisors, the other two are not good at anything.

On the one hand, Wen Zhiyuan has to manage his artists and managers well, and on the other hand, he has to guard against open and dark arrows from competitors in the same department. Life is not going well.

Especially recently,

Several contracted artists under Wen Zhiyuan were very restless. One of them had a scandal and was exposed by the media. He was ridiculed by the public relations department again.

Wen Zhiyuan really wanted to quit his job, but when he thought of the mortgage that would take 15 years to pay off...

He can only bear it.

Snapped! Snapped!

There was a sudden knock on the door of the room.

Wen Zhiyuan straightened his back involuntarily, grabbed the paper towel on the table and wiped the sweat off his face.

Throwing away the wet wipe quickly, he said in a deep voice, Please come in!

In front of his subordinates, Wen Zhiyuan still pays great attention to his image, otherwise it would be difficult for people to feel awe.

The door was pushed open, and two women walked in.

See the middle-aged woman walking in front. Wen Zhiyuan felt that his already big head was getting bigger again!

My brain hurts.

This middle-aged woman is very well dressed, wearing a long skirt, high heels, leather bag and jewelry are all famous brands, but her appearance is really not worthy of these expensive things, not only ordinary but also slightly fierce.

But she obviously didn't have the self-consciousness to hide her clumsiness, her nostrils were turned up and she was arrogant, as if she was the master here.

And the woman following behind the middle-aged woman was undoubtedly much younger and more beautiful, with her Danfeng eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows delicately made up. His expression was full of arrogance. It is somewhat similar to the former.

Walking in front of Wen Zhiyuan, the young woman greeted with a smile: Director Wen...

Wen Zhiyuan sighed secretly. A smile was forced on her face: Shuhui, you are here.

Zhang Shuhui, a signed artist under the EMI Culture Brokerage Company, just made her debut two months ago.

The middle-aged woman who came with Zhang Shuhui was Zhang Shuhui's manager, Zhang Qiong, and also her aunt.

This is not an ordinary person, not to mention his pungent personality, and he has a relationship with the upper management of the company.

Although Zhang Qiong is Wen Zhiyuan's subordinate in name, in fact Wen Zhiyuan can't command the master at all.

The so-called arrogant warriors are just these two!

There is no need to guess, Wen Zhiyuan also knows that the other party is not kind.

He was so bored to the extreme, he still had to put on a smile: Sit down, sit down.

Zhang Qiong was not polite at all, pulled Zhang Shuhui to sit down on the sofa, and then asked straight to the point: Director Wen, I heard that you applied for a sum of money to buy songs for Shuhui, right?

Wen Zhiyuan nodded and said: Yes, the total is two hundred million, I have already...

According to the company's regulations, contracted artists like Zhang Shuhui need to apply for important expenses related to training, packaging, publicity and promotion, and they can only be allocated after approval.

This is also one of the greatest powers Wen Zhiyuan possesses as the head of the brokerage department.

He applied for this fund for Zhang Shuhui in order to let the aunt calm down so that he could live a long life.

I know!

Zhang Qiong directly interrupted Wen Zhiyuan's words, and asked: I heard that you are going to invite a newcomer to sing, and one song costs 250,000 yuan, is that true?

Wen Zhiyuan suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, and patiently explained: It's like this...

This newcomer is very unusual. He is the champion of singing China. His songs have topped the original music charts for four consecutive weeks. He is a very talented singer-songwriter. I think...

Director Wen!

Zhang Qiong interrupted again: I don't think any newcomer's work can be worth 250,000 yuan, so what if his work is on the original music list? His creative style is completely out of line with my family, Shuhui, how can he write well?

Shuhui and I were able to apply for this fund, so I don't agree with you buying songs from that newcomer named Lu Chen. The risk is too great. I think Xiyu will be a better choice.

There was a faint sneer on the corner of her lips: 250,000. It's enough to buy three songs!

Wen Zhiyuan was stimulated by her eyes of Did you take a kickback, and the veins on his temples bulged.

Almost ran away on the spot!

God's poor! He bought the song from Lu Chen because he really thought of Zhang Shuhui.

Zhang Shuhui has been debuting as a new generation singer for some time. Although the company has spent a lot of effort to package and hype it, it has never been promoted, because there are many newcomers of the same quality in the entertainment industry.

In terms of appearance, Zhang Shuhui is not the most beautiful, in terms of singing skills, she is only at an average standard, in terms of talent...

cough cough! Regardless of talent, she doesn't have any distinctive features and advantages, so she must find another way to become popular.

Wen Zhiyuan came up with the idea of ​​buying an excellent work suitable for Zhang Shuhui.

In pop music. There has always been a saying that songs are popular because of people. Originally, ordinary singers who sang a good song right might become popular. Even if they pay attention to packaging and hype now, the factors of the work are still important.

Many people try their best to cover, imitate or even copy the works of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. What is that for?

As a singer-songwriter who has recently risen rapidly in the pop music scene, Wen Zhiyuan has his eye on Lu Chen very early. Knowing that the latter had opened a studio, he even sent someone to contact him.

Until the end of Singing China, Wen Zhiyuan finally made up his mind to buy songs from Lu Chen at a high price.

Because he believes that Lu Chen has enough creative strength.

He never expected that Zhang Qiong would question his hard work and painstaking efforts!

The other party called Xi Yu. That was a songwriter who became famous early on. He is good at love songs and saliva songs, and has always had business contacts with EMI Culture Brokerage Company.

250,000 is indeed enough to invite Xi Yu to 3 songs. But Wen Zhiyuan thinks that this talent is almost exhausted.

In comparison, Lu Chen is like the rising sun, full of vigor and vitality in his creation.

Xi Yu, that is the sunset that is about to set!

As far as style is concerned, it's really not a big problem.

Wen Zhiyuan wanted to explain patiently, but Zhang Qiong's eyes made him disheartened.

He bent his straight waist again, and said dejectedly: What you said makes sense, that's fine, let's do it according to your wishes, and invite Xi Yu to sing.

Seeing Wen Zhiyuan's depressed and gloomy expression, Zhang Shuhui, who had been silent all this time, couldn't bear it, and turned to look at Zhang Qiong: Auntie...

Zhang Qiong squeezed her hand and said, Listen to me, that's right. Since Director Wen agrees, then there's no problem.

She got up and said, Excuse me, let's go first.

Wen Zhiyuan waved his hands feebly, not bothering to look at the other's proud face.

He knew that Zhang Qiong's real intention was to fight for power.

After Zhang Qiong and Zhang Shuhui left, it took Wen Zhiyuan a long time to catch his breath, and he couldn't help but laugh.

What the hell is this called!

jingle bell~

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

Wen Zhiyuan reached out to pick it up.

The sweet voice of the front desk lady came from the phone: Director Wen, Mr. Lu Chen is here to see you.

Wen Zhiyuan suddenly remembered that he had an appointment with Lu Chen's studio in the afternoon.

The other party came to test the voice!

It's really troublesome now, Wen Zhiyuan can't wait to slap himself hard.

Of course, it is possible for him to let Lu Chen leave directly, but in this way, he will completely offend the person to death, and it will be embarrassing if it is spread, which is definitely not a wise choice.

But how should Wen Zhiyuan tell Lu Chen that his artists are disobedient and don't want to buy his songs?

Still offending people!

Hello! Director Wen, are you there?

Wen Zhiyuan came to his senses, and hurriedly said: Yes, please invite this Mr. Lu to sit down in the reception room first. Be sure to entertain him warmly. I'll come over as soon as I finish handling the matter at hand!

The front desk lady agreed, Okay.

Putting down the phone, Wen Zhiyuan was already sweating and almost bursting into tears.

despair! despair!

There was another knock on the door of the office.
