Comeback [entertainment]

Zhou Zhanxiao has been busy fighting wits and chasing the itinerary in recent days, and has no time to manage company affairs. After receiving Qin Huo's summons, he began to feel uneasy. The miserable one.

It can be said that pimping by agents is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. It is not easy to get a position, and the competition is fierce. You can get resources if you accompany investors to eat and go to bed. The artists who are pulled are not necessarily forced. There is a commission, so many bosses turn a blind eye to this.But people like to take shortcuts, and their existence may not be reasonable. A slight carelessness in this kind of power concentration competition will cause quite serious consequences, so Qin Huo has never allowed it.

When he first took office in the early years, there were many veterans who wanted to drag him into the water. After he spent a few years slowly screening them out, the atmosphere in the company quickly became positive.Zhou Zhanxiao was influenced by him, but he didn't necessarily have his means, plus his personality loves to play, and his sensitivity to this aspect was low. It wasn't until after reading the investigation submitted by Assistant Mu that he realized how smoky it was under his nose.

"Snapped--"

There was a crisp sound in the office, and Xiao Mao turned his head, pouted at the secretary holding the document, indicating that it was not a good time to go in.

Zhou Zhanxiao in the room was already yelling: "This is the fucking artist you brought?! Just change the name to Gui Gong Lao Bustard!"

Before Hua Ge came, he was still happy, wondering if there was some good news from Wu Xiaoyue, his mind was full of the dream of his artiste becoming popular and waiting for a rake, but when he entered the door, his head was covered with paper.When he picked up the scattered documents and looked at them, his face immediately changed.

Zhou Zhanxiao threatened to call the police and put him in prison. In order to protect himself, Brother Hua could only drag others into the water. This involved a lot of troubles. Almost none of the managers in Group B was spared. When I carried it in and came out in a daze, several hours had passed.Holding the letter of dismissal, Brother Hua looked at the beating numbers as the elevator went up, still at a loss in his heart.He has brought artists for so many years, but he has never been able to make a big noise. Finally, Wu Xiaoyue who can appear in the original MV is born. Seeing that he is about to become a star, it's just... yellow?

A strong force came from behind and pushed him into the aisle. Brother Hua came back to his senses, only to find that four or five agents in the same group had already surrounded him with unkind faces.He was the first to enter Zhou Zhanxiao's office, and then the rest of them slipped out one by one, and the fool understood what was going on.This industry has its own rules, and it doesn't matter how they grab resources from each other, but they can't talk about it!After all, the chain of interests involved is too wide, and if you are not careful, you will lose your reputation. Everyone seems to be confident, but in fact they take every step cautiously.It's okay for Brother Hua to be so clean, but Group B also has the old qualifications to wear shoes!They have been in business for many years and have worked hard to cultivate the tender seedlings in their hands to a small success. Now they are told to pack up and leave, and because they are caught, they dare not even think about poaching corners. Back to liberation.The good rice bowl was smashed to pieces in one fell swoop, if you don't get angry, you'll be damned.

Of course, Brother Hua did not admit that he had betrayed everyone, but no one was a fool. They were surrounded by people at this time, and they couldn't get any benefits. They just wanted to vent their anger and beat him up.

******

When the security guards came to report the fight in the stairwell, Zhou Zhan's arrogance hadn't subsided, so he replied directly that he didn't care and let them fight.These managers are all old fritters, and they will wink very much, and it is impossible to cause death. As for Brother Hua, forgive him for not daring to call the police.

Most of the managers in Group B were fired, and the extra artists were assigned to a few well-reviewed economic managers, and by the way, they summarized some of the resources at hand of the managers who left.After doing these things, Zhou Zhanxiao only felt that he had saved the safety of the entire company, and the unhappiness of being scolded by his elder brother had just vented on Brother Hua and the others. He was refreshed for a while and turned on the stereo.

The brisk rhythm of "Chasing" immediately echoed in the office. Xiao Mao listened for a moment, then nodded, and knocked on the door with the secretary who came to deliver the documents.

Zhou Zhanxiao shook his head slightly to the music, with a look of being generous, but he did not lose his temper. He was dealing with official business, and even took the time to ask Xiao Mao: "What day is today? Why do I feel that something is going to happen?"

Xiao Mao was stunned, opened the schedule and looked at it for a while, and then suddenly realized: "I almost forgot what you mentioned before. Today is the release date of Mr. Yuan's first magazine!"

Zhou Zhanxiao's eyes widened, and he immediately put away his wobbly and careless attitude, and pushed aside a pile of documents under his hand to turn on the computer: "Then why are you standing there!? Buy it!!"

*******

"AM" magazine was originally only sold in Europe and the United States. In recent years, the physical culture has become increasingly frozen, and other channels have been gradually opened up, from online purchases to electronic magazines. Said, the way out is not bad.

Before the pre-sale of the publication, the busy cycle of the magazine came to an end. Sitting behind the desk, Eva couldn't help but pull out the previous global sales statistics.The black-and-white curve fluctuates occasionally, but it is still in a downward trend. The sunset of paper magazines is a problem of globalization, and AM is not alone.However, when advertisers place advertisements, they don’t care what the general trend of the industry is. Sales and target audiences are still the focus of their consideration.Today, when the sales chain can't make much profit, advertising revenue is the foundation of a magazine's survival. Therefore, the launch of each magazine is like a battle, which is related to the life and death of thousands of people in the company.As the editor-in-chief of a news agency, Eva is under a lot of pressure. Although she always pretends to be confident on the surface, she still feels uneasy when it comes to the publication day.

She opened the background of the official sales website of "AM", and saw the casual smiling face on the front cover holding the piano, and couldn't help showing a smile, but also faintly worried.Except for a few well-known big names, using oriental faces on the cover is a recognized sales killer in the industry. European and American audiences know too little about Asian characters, so they are not interested in buying a magazine to study back. If there is no hurricane this time The record came forward to make a match, and "AM" would not deliberately touch taboos.

Eva glanced at the time on the table, it was 59:[-] in the morning, only a few tens of seconds before the release.

This time...is it night in the East Asian time zone?

Eva sighed, didn't think about it anymore, turned off the computer, leaned back on the back of the chair, closed her eyes and sipped the coffee.

As if in the blink of an eye, the phone on the table rang crazily, and there was still more than half of the hot coffee in Eva's hand, so she had to put it down temporarily.

She answered the phone a little disappointedly, with a serious tone: "What's the matter?"

"Editor-in-Chief!!" The assistant's panicked voice sounded from the other end of the phone, "The sales department asked you for instructions, should we hurry up and print now?!"

"Hasn't the current issue been proofread?!" Could it be that there was an error in the printing of the magazine?Eva sat up at once, "I've checked it too, the finished product is fine!"

"No! There is nothing wrong with the finished product." The assistant said, "It's the inventory, and the inventory is not enough now!"

Eva thought she heard it wrong. After all, regardless of the expected sales volume of each publication, the magazine will prepare at least [-] copies in stock, and more than four-fifths of them will be listed on the online sales channel.And now—

——She put down the phone and looked blankly at the classical and beautiful Roman clock on the table. The hollow and delicate hands were still moving in an orderly manner.

Only twelve minutes have passed since the sale time!

The speed of Eva's mind reached its peak in an instant. She jumped up, grabbed the phone and began to give orders. Soon, the assistant also sorted out the statistics of the online sales channels and sent them in.

This is the statistics of the receiving area that every magazine office must carry out. The sales volume of physical magazines is one thing, and which classes they sell to will also be the focus of each advertiser's decision to place advertisements.Eva opened the document, ignoring most of the receiving places of the various countries in East Asia, her eyes fell on the last map of the purchase division of each state, and her eyes widened again in surprise and joy.

Very good, the advertising fee for the next issue can be increased by at least [-]%.

********

"Ahh!! Didn't get it!!"

"I set the alarm clock and got up to grab it! The spicy chicken "AM" actually got stuck on my webpage, and the inventory was cleared as soon as I refreshed [crying]"

"Ghost's server is too bad, it's almost every second..."

"There is that great god who is so strong that he has two copies! Please, he is willing to pay a high price!!"

"Same high price!! Or just release the original single-person poster!!"

"I got it hahahaha!! Show off the order picture hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Today I am full of European spirit!!"

The forums of major domestic platforms have been quickly crowded with wailing movies, and the postage of tens of yuan has not curbed the urge of fans to pay.Those who snatched the magazine showed off their trading orders one after another, while those who failed to grab the magazine tried to find the fish that slipped through the net from various channels, and the purchase volume of the relatively cheap "AM" electronic version magazine has also climbed to an astonishing level. number.

Yuanshang finally finished the day's filming, and was sleepy in his seat. Qin Huo gave him a brand new nanny car with seven seats, spacious and no smell, which finally made him feel a little bit of the comfortable life he used to live.Sun Hanqing was sitting next to him playing with his mobile phone, his expression changed every second, his eyes were so excited that he finally couldn't hold back and came up to share: "Ah! Yuan Shang! Look, look!"

Yuanshang glanced lazily and raised his eyebrows. The bright screen of his mobile phone was playing a video, showing the highlights of his shooting at the "AM" magazine.The camera angle was in front of him and had not been adjusted. At this time, when he was playing the violin, Sun Hanqing unplugged the earphones, and some noisy background sounds and the violin melody with a particularly vivid tone flowed out like water.This kind of shooting is not as high-quality as in the recording studio, but it has a real sense of shock. Even Yuan Shang himself can't help being a little immersed in it at first glance. It's a pity that the tidbits are quite short, and only lasted for a short time. After half an hour, it stopped abruptly.

"Hahahaha." Sun Hanqing saw that he opened his eyes a little uncomfortably, and immediately burst out laughing, and clicked on the comment under the video to show him, "This is just the first episode of the tidbits, "AM" is so outrageous!"

"I am convinced by Yuan Shangrio, even the prelude of a song is so complete. There is really a shortage of musicians in China who strive for perfection."

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

"I want a refined version! I want a studio version! I want a high-quality version!"

"I feel that now I can calmly accept that Yuan Shang suddenly plays various instruments [bye]"

"Please reprint the new issue!!! Please reprint!!!"

Sure enough, the official Weibo comments of "AM" on the screen have exploded, lying full of dead bodies who have been hooked by the music for a minute and a half, mixed with wailing for not being able to grab the latest issue and all kinds of comments on the original Confession, the form is simply extremely lively.The inside of the car was shaking, Yuanshang simply took the phone and looked it up by himself, this news was hanging on the first list of Weibo, and the second one was actually related to him.

Daily Liver Game: [Image] Ahhhhhh!Harakami on the cover of the electronic version of "AM" is also so handsome! !

Of the tens of thousands of comments below, nearly half of them were posting the cover of his own electronic magazine. Haraami took a quick look at it for a while before he understood: ""AM" is on sale? It seems to be selling well?"

"It's not only good! It's broken the sales record of Chinese covers in North America in the past ten years, okay?" Sun Hanqing beamed, like an old father who is proud of his son, "Breakthrough 10 copies in [-] minutes, such a result will definitely be achieved tomorrow." It's the headlines, but it's a pity that "AM" doesn't have a supplement in China, otherwise the numbers might be twice as beautiful!"

The number of 10 copies in [-] minutes may not sound like a lot, but it is indeed quite an astonishing number in the paper magazine market that has been sluggish in recent years.Especially for a special publication like "AM" whose main audience is overseas and never known for its sales volume, it can at least prove that the purchasing power of Yuanshang's fan base is greater than that of others.

Purchasing power is a major criterion for the market to review the star's value, and it can even directly determine what advertisements the star will receive and what movies to shoot.Sun Hanqing's excitement is not difficult to understand. Yuanshang has not received any endorsement since his debut, and originally planned to take a high-end path.It's just that he is just showing his edge, even if the topic is high, it is difficult for a brand with real heritage to propose cooperation hastily.It's different now, after such a beautiful battle, why worry about not getting an invitation?

Sure enough, the news that the sales volume of overseas magazines by Chinese celebrities was gratifying appeared on the pages of major media the next day, and the position was eye-catching and gratifying.

The name Yuanshang reappeared in the public eye, and once again became associated with the world.Don’t underestimate the role of this word in shaping the image of an artist. Just look at those superstars who have been flying overseas to publish manuscripts in recent years, and you can know how much the general public attaches importance to the matter of stars “going abroad”.Whenever it is associated with words such as overseas film festivals, overseas magazines, overseas directors, or Hollywood, the value of an N-line star can immediately rise several times, no matter whether it has strength or not, it seems to be affirmed by the authority.This phenomenon is helpless, but it is so real.

Of course, the original will not be exempt from vulgarity.

First of all, the contracts sent to Sun Hanqing's mailbox began to show some supporting roles in big productions and main roles in small productions, and their worth soared all the way, reaching the highest price of 800 million yuan for a movie.The fan base has also expanded further, and there has been a very formalized professional management. If any inside story is revealed now, it will never end up in the situation of being suppressed like before.It's a pity for Sun Hanqing, he said that the salary of "Stealing Secret" was too low before, but Yuanshang thought it was more expensive than him.

In the entertainment industry, it is extremely easy to make money whenever a roll call is made.But gold is easy to get, works are hard to find, and popularity is just a fleeting cloud. Only classic works are the standard to ensure an artist's long-term foothold.The atmosphere in the domestic TV, film and music production circle is too impetuous. There are countless new dramas starting every month, but only a few of them have achieved excellent results in the end.He glanced through the TV dramas currently offering high prices to invite him to appear on the screen, but he really couldn't find any one that seemed to have more depth than "Stealing Secrets". A "Stealing Secrets" made a good impression on the audience.

Sun Hanqing picked and picked, and suddenly laughed out loud, and greeted Yuanshang: "Oh, Yuanshang, isn't this "School Magic King" the same play that you didn't get a role in when you participated in "Voice of Everything" before? Slot, now I’m offering you 150 million to make a guest appearance in an episode, it’s a big deal. Why did you go so early?”

Originally, I wanted to laugh when I saw how angry he was for himself, but being so important to others, he felt warm in his heart. He raised his hand and hugged his skinny manager into his arms and patted his shoulders: "Okay, okay , don’t be angry, I wouldn’t be me without those experiences, maybe I wouldn’t have met you either. I’m very happy to be your artist, isn’t it great now?”

This person is born with the ability to speak any language into love words, and he likes to touch his hands, so it's so strange that he doesn't get annoying.Sun Hanqing had been in contact with him for so long, and at this moment he could not help but blush when he smelled the faint scent of perfume on his body, and broke away a little embarrassedly: "I am also very happy to be your manager."

"..." Are these two idiots?Wu Xiaoyue, who was passing by, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and when he passed by, he was also grabbed by Yuanshang, pulled into his arms and rubbed his hair. After being angry for a while, he still couldn't help laughing.

"Crazy! You are crazy!"

*******

The temperature has become much cooler, and the street trees have lost their bald leaves, standing at both ends of the road, and there is a feeling of emptiness for no reason.

After getting off the car, Yuan let out a breath of cold air, tightened his coat, his neck suddenly felt warm, and put on a black scarf, then he heard Yu Shuimiao's voice from behind: "Wear more, don't be demeanor all day long temperature."

He didn't look back, just looked at the simple but majestic gatepost nearby, and smiled softly: "Da Yu, do you think my parents are happy or unhappy when they see me now?"

At this time of year, optimistic and open-minded friends always behave differently than usual.Yu Shuimiao insisted on taking time out of the busy filming of the crew to be with the other party. Although she didn't speak well, she had obvious worries in her heart.He sighed, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only silently pat each other on the shoulder, and the two of them stood there for a long time before walking away tacitly.Yuanshang's footsteps were slow and heavy, and he stopped outside the small shop at the entrance of the cemetery: "I'm going to buy something."

Anxi Mountain, one of the most high-end cemeteries in the city, is priced at a high price, and an unknown number of prominent celebrities are buried there.Looking at the stone monuments in the past, Yuanshang couldn't help but think of the scene when he was pushed on this road every year in his previous life. The perspective he could see at that time was very different from now, and the people who were with him at that time are now only left. Yu Shui Miao is one.

Time is something that can change everything quietly.

Yuanshang caressed the black-and-white photo of his parents cuddling and smiling on the stele, with a sad and distant expression.

Yu Shuimiao stood up silently, looked at the forest of steles not far away, and said softly: "Your stele is standing nearby, do you want to take a look?"

Zhao Guan's tomb is in the second row after this, a family of three can be buried in the same cemetery, and they are quite close to each other. Thinking about it this way, Yuanshang couldn't help being a little happy.From a long distance, he saw a bunch of plain white chrysanthemums placed in the open space before that. After collecting so many flowers, this time the feeling was the most amazing.Yuanshang went up to pick up the bouquet and sniffed it. The tender petals trembled with his movements. Yu Shuimiao was a little strange: "Today is not you... your previous death day."

"Maybe someone sent it by mistake." Yuanshang smiled, put the flower back to its original place, lit another cigarette, and placed it horizontally on the small altar in front of the monument.

Not long after they left, at the gate of the cemetery, a man wearing a mask walked up slowly with a bottle of liquor.

Ren Pingsheng looked up at the withered tree branches all over the garden, and heaved a long sigh.Today is not Zhao Guan's death day, but they used to come to the cemetery on this day every year. Although the other party is gone now, Ren Pingsheng wants to continue this tradition for some reason. Fill up some.

After presenting flowers to Zhao Guan and talking about the current situation, Ren Pingsheng sat in a daze for a long time, and suddenly had the urge to get drunk, so he decided to indulge once and went out to buy wine.

Carrying the wine, he walked closer and saw the half-burned cigarette lying horizontally in front of the tombstone. Ren Pingsheng was taken aback for a moment, squatted down to pick it up, and then his eyes widened instantly.

This is a brand that Zhao Guan suddenly fell in love with when he was seriously ill. Not many friends know about it.

Who came to see him?

******

The Zhao family's old house, because of the death of the last heir, has returned to peace, the gate has been sealed, and the yard is full of weeds.

Yuan Shang familiarly reached in from outside the guardrail and groped, and after a while, he found a bunch of small and delicate keys.

"I thought it would be gone." He held the key in his palm and looked at it for a while, then smiled and shook it at Yu Shuimiao, making a tinkling sound, "Let's go, let's sneak home and have a look."
