I became popular after divorcing Mr. Ba [Entertainment]

During the morning rush hour, the traffic on the elevated highway is moving slowly.

Zhou Jinyuan played a piece of cheerful music, trying to make the little idol, who was propping his head and not saying a word, feel a little happier.

"Little Angel Yuanfei, I saw a very interesting sentence on Weibo last night." The car slid forward slowly, and Zhou Jinyuan suddenly found a topic, "Do you want to know what it is?"

Yuan Fei squinted at him, "Huh?"

"Every qualified predecessor should feel as if he is dead." Zhou Jinyuan's tone was serious, as if he was talking about a famous saying.

Yuan Fei blinked, and couldn't help laughing with crooked eyebrows.

Zhou Jinyuan also turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I think what you said is quite right. Since you have already become your ex, why don't you think about it?"

"Hmm, I also think it's right." Yuan Fei lowered his eyelashes, and said in a neutral tone: "There is another sentence, have you heard it? Every qualified boss will not ask about the private life of employees."

Zhou Jinyuan choked on him, cleared his throat, "Ahem, besides being your boss, am I not your die-hard fan? Please accommodate me, little idol."

"Fans?" Yuan Fei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Illegal meal?"

Zhou Jinyuan: ...

He shook his head with a helpless smile, put one hand on his lips, made a silent gesture, and admitted his mistake: "I was wrong. Pay more attention to the idol's works, stay away from the idol's private life, and be a qualified career fan. I won't say anything."

The black Bentley elegantly parked at the entrance of Huayi Entertainment Building. Yuan Fei found that there were people coming and going in front of the company today. At a glance, they were all celebrities by name.

Zhou Jinyuan spread his hands: "Today is really a meeting, I didn't lie to you."

The end of the new year is approaching, and according to Huayi Entertainment's tradition over the years, artists big and small have to set aside a day to return to the company for an annual summary meeting.

Yuan Fei and Zhou Jinyuan walked towards the interior of the building side by side. Along the way, people kept bowing to Zhou Jinyuan to say hello, and Zhou Jinyuan always responded with gentle and warm smiles, completely out of place for the boss.

After Yuan Fei was forced to bow and say hello together for the nth time, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped, "Boss, you go in first."

Zhou Jinyuan raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and quickly realized that he nodded with a smile, "Alright, see you later."

After a pause, he added: "Remember to support me today, little idol."

At 10:30, the annual summary meeting officially started.

This is the first time that Yuan Fei has seen so many artists at the same time after joining the company, from first-line big names to third- and fourth-tier stars, from actor and actress to singer idols, gathered together, star-studded.

After Yuan Fei entered the conference room, he chose an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

"Yuan Fei!" Just 2 minutes after sitting down, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind him, "You are such a busy person. I haven't seen you since I joined the company!"

Yuan Fei glanced back, and explained briefly: "I was filming on the set some time ago, and I have a lot of personal affairs recently."

Xiao Mo consciously sat down next to him, and hugged his shoulder affectionately, "I've been following your variety show lately, and it's very good-looking!"

"Thank you."

While the two of them were talking, a man of extremely superior height appeared in the meeting room. Everyone immediately looked at him, and then greeted the man on their own initiative.

Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, rolled his eyes halfway, and whispered in Yuan Fei's ear: "Yuan Fei, I hope you can kill Jiang Yuanhao next year and take the position of Huayi's new first brother."

After he reminded him like this, Yuan Fei remembered that this person was the big brother Huayi who he ran into on the day he first came to the company to sign the contract.

The huge meeting room gradually filled up, and Zhou Jinyuan finally arrived late.

According to the process of the meeting, the leaders and management at all levels first delivered official speeches, and then each department reported the annual work summary and the annual work plan for the next year in turn.

Before the long and boring meeting came to an end, Zhou Jinyuan announced a new appointment with a smile, "New year, new atmosphere, after discussion and decision-making by the members of the board of directors, I announce that starting today, Mr. Shu Yangqing will be the director of the artist management department. Lead the artist management department to create more value. Let's all congratulate Mr. Shu."

As soon as this remark came out, the conference room fell into a dead silence.

It wasn't until Yuan Fei, who was sitting in the corner, took the lead in clapping, that the others woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, clapping and discussing in whispers.

Huayi Entertainment's business is divided into four major modules, of which the artist agency department is the largest, but has never appointed a leadership, and the major managers are in an equal-level relationship.

Zhou Jianan, who was sitting in the first row, changed his expression, "When did the board meeting take place, why don't I know?"

"Just before our meeting, I called an emergency board meeting, uncle." Zhou Jinyuan maintained an elegant smile, "The board approved this appointment with more than half of the votes."

Huayi Entertainment is a typical family business, co-founded by Zhou Jinyuan's father Zhou Jianguo and uncle Zhou Jian'an.Zhou Jianguo fell ill suddenly a year ago, and urgently recalled his only son Zhou Jinyuan.

Now Zhou Jinyuan serves as the executive president of Huayi Entertainment and concurrently serves as the acting chairman, while his uncle Zhou Jianan is still the vice chairman.

Therefore, Huayi Entertainment, which is seemingly calm on the surface, has long been divided into two distinct factions internally.

"Yes, we all know that Shu Yangqing once brought out a lot of frontlines and created a lot of value for the company, but—" the little bearded man sitting next to Zhou Jianan couldn't help but object: " As we all know, Shu Yangqing is now half-retired."

What is said inside and out, no matter how awesome or brilliant you Shu Yangqing is, that is the past tense, why should you lead the artist management department now?

Zhou Jinyuan didn't answer his question directly, but gave Shu Yangqing his eyes.

Shu Yangqing twirled a pen expressionlessly, "Who said I'm half-retiring now? I just signed Yuan Fei, don't you know?"

Yuan Fei: ...

"I know you don't accept my leadership, but if you count the artists who have come out of Huayi Entertainment over the years, among the first echelon of people, excluding the ones I brought up, can the rest of you get an average of 0.5?" Shu Yangqing's voice was not loud, his tone was calm and indifferent, but there was a sense of majesty and oppression.

This sentence is obviously a big truth, and no one dared to say anything for a while.

"I will only take Yuan Fei alone. If Yuan Fei's traffic and commercial value cannot enter the top 5 of Huayi Entertainment's artist list within a year, anyone of you can take the position of director of the artist management department."

Everyone couldn't help turning their eyes to Yuan Fei who was silent.

A beautiful and dignified young man with a cold expression, a straight back, an elegant posture, and no fear of honor or disgrace.

***

After the meeting ended, Zhou Jinyuan left first, and the others also left one after another.

Xiao Mo stared at Yuan Fei's side face with those red phoenix eyes, "To be honest, what is your background?"

Yuan Fei shrugged slightly, "Three No Personnel."

Xiao Mo continued to stare at him intently, not knowing whether he believed it or not.After a while, he patted him on the shoulder, and said in a distressed tone, "Then you are miserable. Mr. Zhou and Shu Yangqing drove you onto the grill. If you are not careful, you will be cooked."

"Then you should stay away from me." Yuan Fei smiled casually, as if he didn't care at all, "Be careful that you will be burnt."

He was the last one to leave the conference room. Amid all kinds of unexplained scrutiny from the crowd, he went up to the eighth floor calmly and knocked on Shu Yangqing's office.

"Sit." Shu Yangqing raised his head from a pile of documents, and made a rare joke: "How does it feel for the boss to pick up work in person?"

Yuan Fei: "... not so good."

At this time, Ajie came in from the door with two cups of coffee, and when he saw Yuan Fei, he yelled: "Brother Fei! I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you so much!"

He has successfully transformed from being restrained and shy at the beginning to a passionate little fan.

Yuan Fei smiled and said politely, "Thank you, I miss you."

Shu Yangqing knocked on the table and handed him the document in his hand, "I've picked up an endorsement for you, you can take a look first."

"What endorsement?" Yuan Fei took the document and opened the first page.

"Aphrodite, an old French beauty brand, has a first-class reputation and reputation abroad, but unfortunately there has been no marketing in China." Shu Yangqing took a sip of coffee, "We will enter the Chinese market for the first time at the beginning of next year, and develop new consumer groups. The president of the Greater China Region has decided to launch a new 'National Style' series of lipsticks, and what I'm going to talk to you about is the endorsement of the 'National Style' series of lipsticks."

Seeing that Yuan Fei just lowered his eyes to look at the document, thinking that he was dissatisfied, Shu Yangqing explained patiently: "Don't think it's just a new series of lipstick endorsement, but Aphrodite's brand is here, this time Entering the Chinese market will inevitably involve a huge amount of marketing expenses, at least it is not a problem to show your face in advertising. What you lack now is the opportunity to show your face.”

"Mr. Shu, where do you want to go?" Yuan Fei raised his head, "I have nothing but a little illusory popularity now, how could I pick and choose, like this or that?"

Shu Yangqing looked at him calmly.

"I'm just worried about whether I can do it. Teacher Shu, you know that I have no experience in endorsement." The small workshop company before, the few endorsements that could be obtained were also given to the main proponent.

"Your lens expressiveness is very good, and there is no problem in advertising. As for the endorsement effect, it is actually just a test of the water." Shu Yangqing pushed the frame, "If the sales are good, it means that you are popular and have strong ability to bring goods. If the sales volume is not as expected, it means that the brand is not acclimatized to the new market and the marketing strategy is wrong.”

Yuan Fei gave a thumbs up silently, "Ginger is still old and spicy."

Shu Yangqing accepted the compliment unceremoniously, "Second thing, I have received a cooperation invitation here, and I would like to ask your opinion. The "Assassin" promotion party plans to invite Huo Xu to sing the movie's theme promotional song .”

There is no logical relationship between these two sentences, but Yuan Fei felt a faint feeling of something bad in his heart.

Sure enough, Shu Yangqing continued: "Huo Xu agreed, and the condition is that you will appear in the MV of the title song of his new album."

Yuan Fei: "...can I refuse?"

"Not recommended." Shu Yangqing paused, and replied more briefly: "No."

In fact, it doesn't take him to tell Yuan Fei that Huo Xu not only has top traffic, but also has several theme songs for popular film and television dramas. To invite him to sing the theme song for "The Assassin" is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings added.

"Assassin" can only be a big hit, not hit the street.

"Huo Xu's album will reach the top of major music websites once it is released, and the exposure of the title song is beyond your imagination." Shu Yangqing didn't care why Huo Xu gave this opportunity to Yuan Fei in this way of exchange, He only cares about the revenue generated by this matter, "And you have to know that your latest movie won't be released until next year, and now your fans are digging out your corner inventory to maintain enthusiasm, and you need new materials to stimulate fan."

Yuan Fei frowned slightly, but didn't respond.

He understands the truth, but Huo Xu's attitude towards him really makes him a little uncomfortable.

Shu Yangqing didn't urge him either, "I'll give you two days to think about it carefully."

***

The end of the year is the time when various awards ceremonies and red carpet parties are concentrated. The artists of Huayi Entertainment are basically not in the company. On the contrary, Yuan Fei took advantage of this time to systematically take performing body classes with professional teachers for a few days.

If you divide his performance into different schools, his performance method is closer to the "experiential school", and the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.

When he was filming "The Assassin", he didn't take a heavy role in the scene, but when he played opposite Xu Zhan, some problems were exposed, and he needed time to reflect and correct systematically.

After another body class, Yuan Fei sat in front of the body mirror to rest, when the cell phone thrown on the ground suddenly rang.

Yuan Fei picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Little cutie, guess who I am?" The phone was connected, and a mysterious voice came from the other end.

Yuan Fei rolled his eyes, "Say it straight, Mr. Huo."

"Cut... really boring." Huo Xu's voice dropped an octave, and he became cheerful again in a blink of an eye: "Yuan Fei, you are so sensitive to my voice? You can tell it's me in a second, and I really love you Said it was-"

"Are you going to talk or not?" Yuan Fei interrupted him mercilessly.

Huo Xu was silent for two seconds, and his voice changed back to his usual lazy voice: "Didn't you guess it all, I ask you if you have thought about it."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give him a chance to answer, and continued in a coaxing tone: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It will be a year before I release an album next time."

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Because...you are good at acting, worthy of my song." Huo Xu didn't blush, "And aren't we good friends? What's wrong with being in my MV for friendship?"

Yuan Fei exhaled softly, "Okay."

The recording and mixing part of Huo Xu's new album has been completed, and the MV of the title song is missing.Yuan Fei nodded on this side, and quickly got ready on the other side.

A day later, Yuan Fei took Ajie to the place designated by Huo Xu.

There are several recording scenes for the MV, the first scene is the seaside.

In just one day, the news that he will be appearing in the MV of Huo Xu's new album has already caused a lot of speculation on the Internet.

Although Huo Xu's studio has taken sufficient confidentiality measures and cleared the venue, a group of fans still tried their best to wait nearby. When they saw Yuan Fei get off the car, they screamed and wanted to rush over. The bodyguard stopped him.

Huo Xu was wearing sunglasses and laying on a beach chair sunbathing. When he heard the movement, he flipped over and jumped off, "Hi, cutie!"

Yuan Fei nimbly avoided his warm embrace, "Get ready, let's start."

The MV director is a foreign bearded man with blond hair and blue eyes, who speaks strange but fluent Chinese, "Oh, my God! I swear to the Lord, your face is the most beautiful oriental face I have ever seen! "

Yuan Fei extended his hand politely and shook hands with the other party, "Thank you."

He was led by the stylist to the makeshift dressing room, where he changed into a white shirt.

The white shirt made of silk has an excellent drape, but the size is several sizes larger than what Yuan Fei usually wears, and it looks like a long white silk dress on him.

Yuan Fei waited for a long time but did not wait for someone to bring his pants, so he couldn't help asking: "Where are the pants?"

"No pants." The stylist waved his hand, "Mr. Yuan, you're going to go into the water later. The director said that the wet pants stick to your legs, which will affect the beauty of the camera."

Yuan Fei: ...Why does he feel like he's boarded a pirate ship?

After doing enough mental construction, he walked out with bare legs like this.The setting sun at this time also fell to a position that was about to be at the same level as the sea level.

The on-site shooting equipment had already been set up, and the director commanded with a loudspeaker: "Beauty, go slowly into the sea first, and stop when you get halfway deep, don't be afraid, our lifeguards are right beside you. "

At this time, Huo Xu was standing behind the camera, his eyes fixed on the young man in the camera.

The gentle sea breeze blew the white shirt up slightly, making the young man's skeleton look extremely slender.A pair of straight and slender legs exposed from the hem of the shirt are as white as jade, and just standing in the setting sun from the back is breathtakingly beautiful.

Huo Xu was slightly taken aback.

At this time, his little assistant ran over panting and whispered in his ear: "Boss! The MV sponsor suddenly said that they would send someone over to follow our MV shooting in person!"
