Reborn since 2005

Yan Xin looked at the information that Zeng Yan came out with.

It was a costume drama set in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the director was a male director who had worked with them twice.

He has a deep impression of this project, but this impression does not come from the TV series itself, but from the heroine of the TV series, who later starred in a popular ancient puppet fairy drama.

He only knew this series because of the fairy tale drama.

I haven’t watched it, but I know that this TV series has pretty good ratings.

It should be a good opportunity to play an important role in such a TV series.

The estimated investment for this project is around 40 to 50 million.

Starlight Film and Television invested 20 million, which is a relatively large share. It is fully qualified to arrange the role of the second male or the third female.

If you encounter a stronger investor, you can directly arrange a male or female protagonist.

However, Zeng Yan knew that the few contracted artists of her company could not support the facade of a TV series, and if she forced herself to praise her company's artists, she might ruin the project.

What they mainly do now is film and television investment, not celebrity management, and they cannot do such things.

The other party has also cooperated with them twice and knows the situation of the company, so it is just such a condition.

Yan Xin actually doesn't care that much about whether the company's artists can play important roles. He cares more about whether he can make money from his investment.

There is no problem in making money for such a TV series that has its own impression.

Being able to invest more means you can earn more.

It’s not like the company can’t come up with 20 million.

It's just a preliminary plan now, and filming won't start until the end of the year. By then, the chick flick they invested in last year will be released, and the money they should make will be earned, not less than this.

I have already decided in my heart that I want to meet the investment needs of the other party.

Seeing that Zeng Yan was quite nervous about this matter, I knew that she was more concerned about making the company's artists famous.

He smiled and asked her: "Then do you think we should have a second male lead or a third female lead?"

Zeng Yan had her own thoughts on this, but before she could say it out, she choked up and said, "It's up to you, boss, to decide. Give whoever you say a chance, give it a chance."

Yan Xin laughed: "I don't know much about the artists in the company. I don't know who has the potential. You know more about them, so you should make the decision."

Zeng Yan hesitated not knowing what to say.

She did have a candidate in mind, but she had no idea whether the candidate in her mind would be approved by her boss.

This company does not belong to her, but to Yan Xin.

It's important to understand this.

Some bosses rely on this opportunity to unofficially regulate the company's artists.

Although Yan Xin doesn't look like it, what if he has such thoughts in his heart?

——This man has several women around him, and he is not a very honest person.

In the past, the company's artists also had roles to film, but they were all walk-on roles that didn't even have names. They were just a little bit better than ordinary extras. The main purpose was to adapt to the work environment, not to rely on them. Be famous for this.

What is more important is to improve business capabilities.

There are some investment projects that could actually assign important roles to them, but they were afraid that they would not be able to afford it and ruin the project, so they did not do so.

But after such a long period of hard work, it is indeed possible to arrange some important roles.

The TV drama projects they invest in are all idol dramas. They are just different between ancient puppets and modern puppets. There is not much requirement for acting skills, it is almost enough.

Now its artists have similar abilities.

What is lacking is opportunity.

Once this project is invested and launched, it will be the first project with an important role that their company's artists can receive.

Arranging who gets such an important role is of great significance to those young people.

If you can seize this opportunity, you may become a star.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an opportunity to jump over the dragon gate.

This also makes her afraid to make decisions easily.

The only person qualified to make the decision is Yan Xin, the boss.

Yan Xin saw that she was hesitant to speak, so he took the initiative to ask her:

"What do you think of your niece?"

Zeng Yan was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Xiyue is not good enough yet. She only joined the company this year. Although she studied very hard, I'm afraid she won't be able to take on such a role. I think she will have to hone in for a while. "

This is what she means.

Of course she hopes to make Zeng Xiyue famous, that is her niece.

However, giving this first important role to his niece seems a bit too partial and may dissatisfy the artists who signed with the company earlier.

It would be okay if she became famous, it shows that she has the talent and the popularity with the audience.

If a project is corrupted, she will inevitably be criticized as nepotistic, and the general manager may not be able to stay.

The first good opportunity should be given to others.

Even the second best opportunity must be given to others.

However, Yan Xin still felt happy when she asked this question - at least it showed that Zeng Xiyue still had some weight in the boss's heart, and she was the first one to be considered.

If there is a better opportunity in the future, he should also take care of her.

Of course, it's the boss's business to have this idea, and he has to know how to advance and retreat.

——Unless the boss must arrange this role for Zeng Xiyue and is very forceful, he will not accept it.

Of course Yan Xin didn't have any strong thoughts - when he saw Zeng Yan's hesitation, he thought it was because she wanted to praise his niece but was too embarrassed to speak up, so he said that. It wasn't that he thought that girl would be enough.

What Zeng Yan said made him feel a little surprised and he felt more favorable towards her.

Pushing away this opportunity for her niece shows that she still puts the overall situation first and considers more the interests of the company.

Then he smiled and said, "Who among the artists in the company do you think is capable of seizing this opportunity?"

This means asking her to give alternatives.

Zeng Yan was quite familiar with those people, so she immediately named two artists.

Two men and two women.

Among them is Mo Yingying, who only got more performance opportunities last month.

She not only mentioned their names, but also talked about their performance in the artist training class, how old they were, where they came from, what kind of talents they had, how they usually treat others, and what kind of performance experience they had.

There are still photos and short videos of them on the phone, and now they are all taken out one by one to show to Yan Xin.

Of those four names, none of them became stars in Yan Xin's memory, which made him hesitate a little - wouldn't they be the kind that cannot be praised?

But he thought about it, thinking that there were obviously too many people, and there was only so much opportunity. He was reborn and gave people a chance, and maybe he would become famous all of a sudden.

He didn't know which one was more suitable.

Then he asked Zeng Yan: "Then do you think it is better for our company to have a second male lead or a third female lead?" This is to implement an elimination system.

Eliminate one gender first.

Then there are only two left, and then pick one of the remaining two.

Zeng Yan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Generally speaking, the second male lead is better, has more roles, and can get more attention."

Yan Xin said "Oh" and said, "Then choose one of those two male artists."

Hearing what he said, Zeng Yan felt relieved - it seemed that the boss really didn't take advantage of the opportunity to flatter others and unspoken thoughts about the company's female artists.

In fact, she hopes that this opportunity can be given to male artists in the company.

After all, he is the second male lead and has a higher rank.

In fact, the role is not a big problem. The main thing is that with this precedent, if we cooperate in the future, we can get a higher ranking.

Then he smiled and said: "Then it's up to you, boss, to decide who should play this role."

"Who do you think is more suitable?" Yan Xin asked.

Zeng Yan looked at the names of the two male artists and felt a little confused, not knowing who to give the opportunity to.

This is an offending job.

He smiled and said, "I'm not sure about this either. It's up to you, boss, to make the decision."

Yan Xin thought for a moment: "You are familiar with them. Who do you think is more masculine and effeminate among them?"

Zeng Yan thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Qu is more masculine, while Xiao Ma is more feminine."

Yan Xin watched the video of the two people again and finally said:
"Then give Xiaoma the chance."

"Um?" Zeng Yan felt a little strange and whispered, "The second male lead role is a general..."

"It's not important," Yan Xin said, "What's important is that sissies in idol dramas are more likely to become popular and gain traffic."

Zeng Yan didn't expect Yan Xin to have such a view and was a little dazed.

In fact, she felt that the sunny and handsome Xiao Qu was more suitable for this role.

But when her boss said something, she had no choice but to obey.

Said: "Okay, give him this opportunity."

There was some regret in my heart: "I should have found a stronger male artist to replace Xiao Ma if I had known it earlier - wouldn't such a comparison make Xiao Qu seem a bit feminine?"

The boss's thinking is really a bit confusing.

After a while, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind:
"How can a man like effeminate men? Could it be that..."

The look in Yan Xin's eyes suddenly changed.

Although the boss has a wife, there seems to be other women around him.

However, this is not a conflict.

Some people just have fun like that.

When I left Yan Xin's office, I was still thinking: "Xiao Ma won't become the boss lady of the company in the future, right? It seems that I will have to be more polite to him in the future."

Of course, Yan Xin didn't know that Zeng Yan had such strange thoughts about him. The opinions he expressed were just phenomena he had observed in his previous life.

It’s not that all front-line male actors are sissies, it’s just that those idol male stars who have a lot of traffic and are very profitable in the fan circle have a relatively large proportion of sissies, and their fans are more stupid and easier to cut leeks.

The focus of his business in the future will be e-commerce, relying on traffic to cut leeks. Of course, he must give priority to cultivating such traffic tools.

It has nothing to do with personal aesthetics.

In fact, he personally finds sissy men disgusting.

After Zeng Yan left, it didn't take long for the project to be negotiated. Starlight Film and Television invested 20 million in this project, and the second male role was played by Starlight's contracted artist Ma Siming.

Ma Siming was only 18 years old when he signed a contract with this company last year and had just graduated from high school.

He is only nineteen years old now, a perfect young man.

He also registered for Starlight Live, has thousands of fans, and has several fan groups on QQ.

Sometimes he goes on live broadcasts to interact with his fans.

Those fans are basically female fans. Although the number is not large, they are relatively loyal.

Every time the broadcast starts, as soon as the group is notified, those who have the conditions will go online to support him.

With thousands of fans, there are often hundreds of people online in the live broadcast room once the broadcast starts.

This conversion ratio is very high.

The broadcast is broadcast every week, and the income from tips can be hundreds or thousands of dollars, which is much better than ordinary wage earners.

In this way, his fans still feel sorry for him and feel that his brother's life is too difficult.

Yan Xin also watched one of his live broadcasts. He didn't realize how talented he was, but he was really good at brainwashing fans.

He is a natural talent for cutting leeks.

He appreciates it more.

He also specifically told Zeng Yan that he could change the contract with the other party, provide more preferential conditions, and then extend the contract period.

This made Zeng Yan feel that her guess was correct.

After settling the contract, she called Yan Xin:
"Boss, this boy Siming knows that you have given him such an opportunity, and he is very grateful. He wants to thank you in person. Have you..."

"I'm very busy right now and have no time." Yan Xin answered simply.

"How about I take him to your office today?" Zeng Yan said again.

"No, don't bring him here," Yan Xin said, "just tell him that such an opportunity depends on his own efforts. He should seize this opportunity and make a good movie. The work will bring more profits to the company, that’s what’s important. There’s no need to thank me, and there’s no need to meet.”

"Boss, are you really not going to meet him?" Zeng Yan whispered, "This child is very well-behaved, obedient, and not pedantic in his thinking..."

Yan Xin was shocked: "Sister Zeng, why are you telling me this?"

Obviously, he understood Zeng Yan's hint.

It was precisely because I understood that I was shocked. Goosebumps appeared on both arms, and my whole body felt bad.

"Uh..." Zeng Yan was stunned.

——Did I guess wrong?

Then I heard Yan Xin’s fierce criticism:

"Sister Zeng, let me tell you, I am a very normal man without any abnormal hobbies. Although I do not discriminate...well, to be honest, I am actually discriminatory. You must not give me any I can’t afford to lose this guy after all this has happened!”

Zeng Yan also explained weakly: "Boss, don't worry, he will keep it a secret and won't let others know..."

"That's not the case at all!" Yan Xin was very depressed, "You've got the point wrong! The point is that I'm not that kind of person! I, Yan Xin, am a man and like women! Do you understand? You want unspoken rules, you I have to find a beautiful woman! You can’t use a man to insult me!”

"Oh, I understand." Zeng Yan said.
