Chapter 151 Studio, Xu Cui, Fa Xiao

In fact, it is quite normal. Even when the freshmen said goodbye to their instructors after the military training, some people cried.

In the summer camp, the good friends I just met parted, and they were full of reluctance.

Because one or two months of getting along day and night is enough to get used to the other person's existence.

This is the rhythm of the entertainment industry, which is different from the stable jobs of most people——

In a drama or a variety show, a group of strangers get along day and night for several months, just like the closest friends or family members.

But after the filming, everyone is busy with their own work. Unless they are a real couple or real friends, it is difficult to have the opportunity to get together.

This circle is not big, it is possible that some program will meet again;
But this circle is not small, so maybe just forget it.

Su Zhe has just entered the circle and is not used to separation yet. It will get better in the future.

But after he realized that he was a bit "hypocritical", he quickly put an end to it:
"Thank you everyone! Thank you everyone! I will continue to delve into music, and next I will release a folk album. I hope everyone will support it."

"Definitely buy it!"

There was a shout from the audience, which made Su Zhe laugh. He pointed to him and patted his chest, indicating "it's settled."

So the voices of "I must buy it" rang out one after another in the audience, including the barrage of "buy, buy, buy".

Su Zhe finally waved to the stage:

"It's a long way to go, see you all in the future!"
-
After recording the show, Su Zhe uploaded the music "Rakshasa Haishi" for free, but unfortunately, before anyone could interpret the connotation, the playback data was average and was still outshone by "Nanshan Nan".

Su Zhe didn't even have time to eat with others, so he hurriedly left Shenzhen, returned to the capital, and came to the office where the studio was rented.

Yan Xiling has already established the framework of the studio and has hired an executive manager, a fan operator, a business operator, and a makeup artist, all of whom are experienced professionals.

"I've met the boss!" When they faced Su Zhe, their attitudes were very correct.

Yan Xiling said to Su Zhe:
"You are the boss, please give me an interview."

"Haha, I definitely believe in Sister Yan's vision. What she has found must be elite soldiers and strong generals!"

Su Zhe laughed heartily, and after complimenting everyone calmly, he chatted casually, asked some questions, and observed a few people.

Several people responded fluently, at least in terms of ability.

Su Zhe couldn't help but nodded secretly and asked curiously:
"What about legal affairs, public relations, and finance? Aren't we hiring?"

Yan Xiling explained:
"It's too expensive. Personal studios generally don't waste money on maintaining them. They outsource them when necessary."

Su Zhe nodded, and Yan Xiling simply told him her plan:

"Now we only have you as an artist, and the scale is still very small, so it is not suitable for recruiting people blindly. In fact, many artists do not have full-time makeup artists. They usually do their own makeup and let the crew's makeup artists do it when filming dramas."

Speaking of makeup artists, Yan Xiling reminded Su Zhe very seriously:

"But you are different now. Even if you are on the set, we should not let other makeup artists do the makeup. We must do it ourselves, and we must bring our own cosmetics. Otherwise, someone may put hormones in the cosmetics to make you break out, and you will lose a lot. Chance."

After she finished speaking, she warned the professional makeup artist:

"Remember, you can't leave your makeup case. You have to take it with you even when you go to the toilet! As long as you leave your sight for a short time, you'd rather throw it all away and replace it with a new one. Do you understand?"

The makeup artist responded equally seriously:
"Boss, Sister Yan, don't worry, I have been in the industry for many years and I have never made any mistakes."

Su Zhe was secretly dumbfounded. He was glad that he had found a group of professionals. Otherwise, it would have been all on his own. He really didn't know about these behind-the-scenes methods and didn't have the energy to be on guard all the time.

——After all, he can’t put on his own makeup, right?

Su Zhe learned the boss's own skill of "painting cakes" without any teacher:
"Everyone, let's work together and the year-end bonus will not disappoint you! By the way, Sister Yan, let's discuss the studio shares after the year."

Although he was painting cakes, Su Zhe had been a wage earner for many years and knew that workers did not want to eat those illusory cakes, but wanted money.

But Yan Xiling is not just a worker. What impresses her is not just money, but shares.

Otherwise, why would she come to Su Zhe?Wouldn't it be better to go to another big brokerage firm?

Su Zhe's words made everyone very satisfied. Looking at everyone's smiling faces, he smiled and said:
"Then I, an idle person, will not disturb your work. You are busy while I go check on my office."

After he and Yan Xiling left, several people immediately gathered together to discuss the boss:

"Wow, the boss is really handsome!"

"Nymphomaniac! What surprises me the most is that the boss has really high emotional intelligence. The studio is most afraid of celebrity bosses messing around..."

"Yes, the boss is really different from other celebrities. He respects people and is very smart. He is hard to fool at first glance. We have to work hard in the future."

After Su Zhe and Yan Xiling came to their office, they saw desks, boss chairs, and tea tables placed in the room. The spirit of workers was immediately aroused:

“Wow, a separate office!”

He sat on the big, soft office chair and turned around happily. He noticed a money tree placed in the corner of the office and immediately joked:

"Sister Yan, I'm usually not in the office. You have to take good care of the money tree and don't let your opponent send someone to secretly water it!"

Yan Xiling:? ? ?

Who is so boring about home?

etc!There are so many weird things in the industry, and there are actresses who seek consecration on the bed of a master (a certain Lin), maybe someone actually does this!
Su Zhe was just playing tricks, but Yan Xiling took it seriously, thinking that the boss believed in Feng Shui, and quickly asked:
"I heard that some people in the circle go to Southeast Asia to raise little ghosts. Otherwise, ask the master for an amulet to avoid being harmed by little ghosts."

Su Zhe: ...

"Sister Yan, I'm just joking..."

Although it was just a joke, he also realized the benefits of being a boss:
Even if you talk nonsense, others will take it seriously.

Yan Xiling laughed. Since her boss was not superstitious, she stopped mentioning those evil ways and asked:

"When will Xu Cui and Jia Xin come?"

Although Su Zhe kept saying "I trust Sister Yan," the two of them were not related, so it was certainly impossible for them to completely delegate power.

So he also placed two people in the studio——

The first is Xu Cui. Su Zhe tested her after the explosion of "A Diao" and found that she was quite honest and had no wrong ideas. He decided to give her a job that could not only help her but also serve as his confidant.

At first, he wanted Xu Cui to be his assistant, but Yan Xiling reminded him that male artists generally do not have young and beautiful female assistants, and it is easy for them to misfire. If they can get it, they will have to spend a lot of money, but if they can't...

Just get married with a ball!Then I started to feel depressed and regretful.

Even if Su Zhe has strong self-control, he is still easy to be misunderstood by the outside world and spread some bad rumors.

Su Zhe was not a headstrong person. He agreed with Yan Xiling's opinion and asked Xu Cui to be an intern in the studio.

Although he is also a social worker, it is more comfortable than going to a factory to drive screws, and his future prospects are also better.

If she is willing to work hard, if the studio can grow bigger, and even sign other artists, she might not be able to become an agent in the future.

Su Zhe and Yan Xiling were discussing arrangements for Xu Cui when she arrived and was led into Su Zhe's office by others.

Su Zhe and Yan Xiling were dumbfounded when they saw Xu Cui coming to report.

Looking at each other, the two couldn't hold it back and confirmed:

"Are you really Xu Cui?"

In front of them stood a short-haired, dark-skinned tomboy who grinned, revealing his big white teeth:

"Yes, brother, thank you for remembering me! I will cherish the opportunity and work hard!"

Su Zhe: ...

If the lights were turned off, he might just see a set of big white teeth floating in the air.But clearly in his memory, Xu Cui was a pretty, pretty and shy little girl.

"Has X Zangxing changed people so much?" Gender and race have almost changed.

Xu Cui was a little embarrassed and explained:
"The tour guide told me that I can come back after half a year. And brother, didn't you choose the in-depth tour for me? If it were a normal itinerary, I wouldn't be so exposed."

This made Su Zhe feel guilty:

What should I do if this kid can't get married if he has such a tan?

However, he could also see that Xu Cui's mental state had become much brighter, and he sighed:

"X Zangxing is still useful."

Xu Cui shook her head and said soberly:
"It has nothing to do with X Zang, it has to do with brother. Brother is willing to help me, and I know I have hope for the future."

It is hope that brings about the most profound changes.

Su Zhe smiled happily. Everyone hopes that the person they help will repay their kindness, instead of being a wolf with blank eyes:

"Okay! Work hard, we will have bright prospects in the future!"

Efforts without prospects are called rolls; efforts with prospects are called struggles!
Xu Cui nodded excitedly.

Yan Xiling arranged for Xu Cui to do an internship.

But Su Zhe was thinking about the candidate for assistant.

This position has low requirements for professionalism but extremely high requirements for reliability.

Since Xu Cui is not suitable, the most suitable person is the original Fa Xiao, the child of his father's comrade-in-arms, Jia Xin.

The two grew up together and have a good relationship.

Especially through memory, Su Zhe knew that although Jia Xin was not very smart, he had a good character and a strict mouth.

After he changed his job, he worked as an assistant in the county town. The work was very tiring, the salary was not high, and there was no chance of becoming a full-time employee. Su Zhe wanted to help him and find himself a reliable assistant.

Although this guy is either a military king or an ordinary veteran, his driving and fighting skills are definitely better than ordinary people, and his obedience and discipline are very high.

When he was in Shenzhen before, Su Zhe called him and invited him:

"Come help brother! I usually don't have anyone I trust around me, so I'm always being plotted by those in the circle."

Jia Xin smoked cigarettes all night and decided to resign and come to help his brothers.

Towards noon, he finally arrived at the studio.

Su Zhe went straight downstairs to greet him, and saw a very energetic young man squatting in the corner smoking.

"Gold!" Su Zhe shouted immediately.

Jia Xin threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and shouted excitedly at Su Zhe:

"Boss!"

The two hugged excitedly, and Jia Xin immediately broke away and said:
"I just finished smoking. Don't smoke it and affect your singing. Boss, don't worry, it was my last cigarette just now!"

Su Zhe knew that he stayed up all night and was a heavy smoker when he was working in the association, so he patted him on the shoulder:

"Okay, you can just quit! But in the future, my work will be easier and I won't have to rely on cigarettes. Quitting smoking is a good thing and is good for your health."

As the two went upstairs, Jia Xin asked:
"Boss, what do I need to do?"

Su Zhe smiled and said:

"There is no fixed job, just follow me. Don't treat me as your boss, it's just that the industry is dangerous and I need my brothers to help me."

Jia Xin nodded heavily:

"Follow you, just like when I was a kid!"

Su Zhe remembered that before junior high school, Jia Xin followed the original person every day as a follower, and couldn't help but laugh:
"almost!"

Jia Xin was silent for a while and suddenly asked:
"Boss, haven't you gone to see your uncle yet?"

Su Zhe paused, and Jia Xin mentioned his biggest nightmare - his biological father. (Don’t worry, it’s not disgusting)
He didn't know how to face it, so he just said:

"talk later."

Jia Xin did not dissuade her, and did not act recklessly just because she was Su Zhe's childhood friend. After going upstairs, he took the initiative to report to Yan Xiling and asked about the precautions for being an assistant.

Yan Xiling told him to pay attention to food, water, etc., to be discerning, not to offend directors and celebrities, and not to affect the boss's image in public.

Jia Xin was very serious and took out his notebook to write down each item one by one.

At this point, Mary Sue Studio was officially established and work began.

Not to mention other daily tasks, Su Zhe's current task is to record the remaining songs of the first album.

Although in the electronic age, an album can have just a few songs, but according to the convention passed down from the record era, an album usually has 10 to 12 songs.

Starting from "Like Me", excluding "Nanshannan", which was released as a "nursing home poet", Su Zhe has released 8 singles, all of which are ballads.

He plans to add 4 more songs to form a folk album, with a total price of 24 yuan.

If fans have purchased singles before, they can only pay the balance.

Equivalent to 12 songs, 8 paid singles (3 yuan) and 4 free singles. Relatively speaking, the price is medium.

(Most electronic albums are priced at 20-30 yuan.)
The key now is-

Which of the remaining 4 ballads should you choose?
While Su Zhe was thinking about choosing songs, "The Birth of Music" began to promote new guest Hu Zhendong.

The focus of the promotion is, of course, "His" "Nanshan Nan", which is the most popular song on the Internet recently and even beats Su Zhe's four songs on the playlist.

This put Hu Zhendong into a dilemma——

At the beginning, he hyped himself up as a "nursing home poet", and his calculations were very precise. Only the marketing account stood up and spoke during the whole process, but he hid behind the scenes and never admitted it.

Later, when the real "nursing home poet" came forward, he had no responsibility and instead took the opportunity to market himself and earn some pension money.

But he never expected that for the entire network's marketing, even the "nursing home poet" would not come forward!
This made him unable to get off the tiger's back. Faced with the temptation of fame and fortune, he was put on a high platform step by step.

Now that he has signed a contract with the program team, there is still no one to claim the "nursing home poet", and the program team still wants to promote it.

He could find no reason to refuse.

Did he take the initiative to admit to the program crew that he is not a "nursing home poet"?
He couldn't bear it.

So when he was restless, the program team sent out a draft of his new song "Nan Shan Nan" using the trumpet "Nursing Home Poet".

Then came even more overwhelming praise.

But even so, no one came forward to admit that they were the "nursing home poet".

This made Hu Zhendong even feel lucky:
"Does the other person really live in a nursing home? Is he already dead?"

The "dead" Su Zhe was in the recording studio, looking at these news, and couldn't help but sigh:
"The old fox can't bear it anymore!"

Hu Zhendong’s previous strategy was clearly to use his marketing account to gain popularity, always being ready to leave and exchange the popularity for money.

But as the situation developed, he gradually fell into the whirlpool of fame and fortune, and had to end it himself, harboring unrealistic illusions.

Fame and fortune make people stupid.
