In Tianqi's office. Richard looked at the press releases of various media today, his face was very gloomy.Throwing the information in front of Yi Lin, he said:

"Master, what did you do yesterday? If it weren't for Qin Yao, today's press release wouldn't be written like this!"

Yi Lin also knew that what happened yesterday did bring a lot of trouble to the whole team, so he said with some guilt:

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention for a while."

Richard went to Yi Lin and sat down, heaving a sigh of relief.Do your best to appear calm.

"Tell me honestly, are you in love?"

"No!" Yi Lin denied.

Expecting him to say this early in the morning, Richard was not surprised. He took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Taking a sip slowly, he said, "When you are so popular that others drool, there will be more saliva about you."

Richard glanced at Yi Lin, and continued:

"At your age, I know there are some things that you can't control yourself. But you have to remember, you are not just Yi Lin. She is not dating you, but is dating the entire entertainment industry."

In the dead of night, I looked at various posters of Yi Lin hanging in the office. Richard would have a sense of trance, the boy drinking water at the entrance of the supermarket has gradually begun to have the edge of a superstar.

Richard has never believed in any inherently good foundation, but that individuals can actually package it.Therefore, if Yi Lin hadn't been seen at that time, he might still be an ordinary boy, and the poster hanging in his office would be someone else's poster.

However, this is all just a hypothesis.

As for what Richard said, Yi Lin hadn't thought about it.But everything is just imagination.In fact, being with the teacher is at most only in his home.The two occasional outings were never photographed, so Yi Lin didn't really take it too seriously.Just listening to Richard go on, neither denying nor admitting.Save trouble.

"You're very smart, so I won't say much." Richard looked at his watch and said, "Let's go, it's time for a meeting."

In the blink of an eye, it's already mid-December, and the artists' work this year needs to be reported and summarized to the brokerage company.Of course, there are plans and arrangements for the coming year.

In the past, it was fine in entertainment, and there were no popular people. In most parts, Richard only needed to go a little formal.But in Tianqi, it is not that simple. How much money the company will spend next year really depends on the data.Each agent must bring the artist to report to the company in person.This feeling, in fact, is really a bit like financing...

Of course, an entertainer like Qin Yao doesn't have to go through this process.

Richard walked into the elevator and said something to Yi Lin:

"This is the first time we go, and it will be the last time. Let Shi Lin come to our office to open next year!"

Yi Lin laughed, Richard is really full of fighting spirit!

With that said, the elevator stopped on the 30th floor.This is Yi Lin's first time here - the office of the legendary boss.

As soon as the door opened, Yi Lin saw security guards in neat suits, standing on the left and right sides like statues wearing headsets. The visual sense of "Meninblack".

Not far away, Yi Lin saw two familiar figures, Lion and his manager. Lion is a newcomer signed by Tianqi last year, and he spent a lot of money to support him for a while.But there is no improvement. Judging from their expressions today, they may have to stop cooking next year.

When Lion and his agent saw Richard, they greeted them with a forced smile. Richard also just nodded symbolically. Richard didn't even bother to show a smiling face for someone of no use.In his words:

"I'm very busy! How can I have so much free time to deal with idle people!"

Richard led him into the conference room on the right. Shi Lin and other executives of Tianqi had seen many "financiers" in a day.Usually she only gave one hour, but after Yi Lin, she didn't ask anyone else.

Because Yi Lin's arrangement for next year is not a trivial matter for Tianqi as a whole.

"Sister Lin!" Richard showed a big smile as soon as he entered the conference room, "Good afternoon everyone!"

Yi Lin also smiled and nodded to everyone sitting there, but he was not as attentive as Richard.For things like flattery, the more an artist does, the lower his worth will be.So, just be polite.

"Sit down!" Shi Lin pointed to the two seats opposite her.

"Nick's work arrangement has been scheduled for the next year, and I don't want to be too radical. Excessive exposure of the artist himself will make people feel no freshness. What my family Nick wants to do is not a shooting star. So, we decided to take it slowly."

Richard didn't even open the folder, and continued:

"My plan for Nick is to make a few films for next year. Except for the cooperation with Lin Xinqi, I am still choosing others. I want to use these few films to bid farewell to him as a newcomer."

"As for other aspects, I decided not to renew my contract for a few commercials. Except for first-line brands, I will not accept new commercials for Nick."

Richard's words made the faces of several senior executives present look uneasy.In the end, it was Shi Lin who spoke first:

"A first-tier brand? Nick's biggest fans are mainly young women between the ages of 20 and 30. The purchasing power of women in this age group is not the highest, and first-tier brands may not choose such an artist as their spokesperson."

Shi Lin's words didn't save any face, she looked at Richard coldly, and continued:

"Even if there are brands willing to take risks, the density and channels of those advertisements are not as many as the brands that Nick endorses now. When those fans who are used to seeing Nick on the supermarket shelves or in the advertisements in the middle of the TV series can't see him. .Are you sure they'll fall in love with the young faces on the other drinks?"

Having said that, Shi Lin left the back of the chair she leaned on, and sat forward, with her chin resting on her crossed hands.She frowned and said:

"Richard, over the years, it's hard to make stars with your style!"

Yi Lin glanced at Richard quietly, Shi Lin's words seemed to hit his sore spot.I don't know if Richard will be blacked out on the spot.To Yi Lin's surprise, Richard actually laughed.

He looked at Shi Lin without showing any weakness, and said:

"Sister Lin is right! I haven't had much success in the past [-] years! So I have enough failure experience! So, as long as I avoid those wrong experiences, my family Nick will definitely be popular for decades !"

This sentence made Shi Lin speechless, but Yi Lin almost couldn't help laughing.Shi Lin was in a hurry. Although she still controlled her emotions, everyone knew that she was really angry.

"Richard! I hope you know that Nick is an artist under Tianqi, not yours alone. I have no interest in whether you win or lose, but with me, Tianqi cannot lose money!"

"Why is the gunpowder smell so strong? Who made Mandy angry?"

A deep and pleasant voice followed the door opening, everyone was stunned and stood up quickly.He called out respectfully:

"Mr. Li!"

Li Jin smiled and asked everyone to sit down.Shi Lin got up to make way for him, but he waved his hand, walked to the most remote place and sat down alone.

"Go ahead and leave me alone."

That's what I said, but who dares to quarrel in front of Boss Li... (ellipsis) So, as a big man, Richard still spoke first.

"Sister Lin, you have to believe that I will definitely not let Tianqi lose money. I will not ruin the people I brought together. I don't think the choice of brand will let you down. As for the freshness, I still have other options. Thinking about it. I want Nick to take a walk in the music world and become a comprehensive artist."

"(Make) a record?!" For this idea, Shi Lin felt that it was nonsense, "The record industry is so depressed now, even singers like Shen Xiao haven't released a record for three years, you still have the guts to make a record ?!"

"There's a saying that goes well: the bold scare the timid to death! Doesn't Tianqi want to try to present an all-round entertainer?"

When Richard said the last few words, he glanced in the direction where Li Jin was sitting.That's right, these words were meant for Li Jin.Shi Lin didn't have the guts, but he, Li Jin, definitely did!

Shi Lin glanced at Li Jin's expression, although his expression didn't change, but according to what she knew about him, what Richard said would make him very interested.

"As far as I know, Nick has no musical training. There should be a limit to whimsy!"

"Nick, sing a song for Sister Mandy!" Richard suddenly threw out such a sentence.

In fact, the plan to release a record was not a sudden idea of ​​Richard's.But in fact, even Yi Lin heard it for the first time.Originally, it was planned to postpone it, but since Li Jin was present, it might as well be a hit next year.It also frustrates Shi Lin's spirit.

Now, it's up to Yi Lin himself.According to his usual level of occasional humming, it should be pretty good.But if he even has stage fright at this point, maybe he has acted too hastily.

All eyes were on Yi Lin, although Richard's words surprised him.But at this time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

He cleared his throat and sang:

"The words I love you have been kept secret throughout the hot summer, and the bouquet of roses may whisper to her. The sparrows are playing in the garden in Georgia, which is in full bloom, using the most shy grammar of love."

A brisk song that fits Yi Lin's current positioning and image very well.In fact, Yi Lin sang well, not abnormal.But it is really a bit reluctant to say that he can make a record, after all, there are too many people who can sing better than him.

Just as Shi Lin was about to speak, she heard Li Jin who was sitting there silently say suddenly:

"Sing that English song!"

Everyone, including Yi Lin, looked at Li Jin in surprise.

Li Jin looked at Yi Lin, and added nonchalantly, "It's the one you hummed when you were painting at home!"
