The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 209 Leslie Cheung
"It's good to change my English name to LESLIE." This time, Zhang Guorong did not ask Xu Guanwu to do it for him, and said hastily.

"LESLIE, this name is not bad, since you like it, then so be it." Xu Guanwu nodded.

Zhang Guorong breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily he came up with the English name himself, and didn't need the boss to do it for him.Otherwise, if he named Mike and Jackie, it would be bad.

"Do you have any personal preferences, do you like singing or acting?" Xu Guanwu asked again with a smile.

"Whether it's singing or acting, I'll follow the company's arrangement." Zhang Guorong froze for a moment, then said with a wry smile.

To be honest, although he came to the superstar manager company, he was worried that he didn't have any idea about being an artist, and he never thought that the interview would go so smoothly.

"For singing, you need to learn vocal music, music theory, musical instruments, dance, etc.; for acting, you need to learn performance, lines, positioning, fists, etc." Xu Guanwu introduced, "After laying these foundations, if you become a singer Well, the company will release records for you, and then play songs on radio and TV stations. After you gain popularity, you will hold concerts and tour around Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia; To be a special actor, to be a special actor, to be a supporting role, and then to be a leading role. These are the stages that one must go through to become a big star, do you have any doubts?"

"No more." Zhang Guorong nodded and said, it was the first time he knew that to become a big star, he had to learn so many things and go through so many stages, it was really climbing up little by little.

"Okay, then do you have an idea now, do you want to start as a singer or an actor?" Xu Guanwu asked again, "You can only choose one first, and then you can become famous before you can cross over."

"I choose to be a singer first." Zhang Guorong thought for a while and finally made a decision.

He liked to sing very much before. Not only did he like to listen to Cantonese operas by Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian, but he also liked to listen to English songs when he was studying in the UK, and he learned all of them similarly.

"Okay, then you come with me." Xu Guanwu nodded, not surprised by Zhang Guorong's choice.

In his previous life, Zhang Guorong made his debut by participating in a song talent show. Although he was discovered by Xu Guanwu in advance in this life, his nature of liking music has not changed.

Zhang Guorong was at a loss, he didn't know where the boss was going to take him, so he could only follow behind.

"Ximen, this is Leslie Zhang Guorong. From now on, you will be his full-time manager, and you will be responsible for arranging all his work. Are you clear?" Xu Guanwu walked up to a shrewd and capable young man.

"Understood, boss." The young man looked Zhang Guorong up and down, and stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "Hello, LESLIE! My name is Ximen Bufan, and my English name is SIMON. Just call me Ximen. I hope you can cooperate in the future." joy."

"Hello, I'm Zhang Guorong, and my English name is LESLIE. It's a pleasant cooperation." Zhang Guorong also said in a similar manner.

"Okay, everyone will be a family from now on. We should help each other and support each other." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Leslie, Ximen, follow me to Yisheng Records. The others continue to work."

After finishing speaking, Xu Guanwu stepped out of the company first, Zhang Guorong and Ximen exchanged glances, and they all hurriedly followed.

"Wow, who do you think that handsome guy is? He arranged for a manager when he first joined the company, and he was an A-level manager like Ximen. It seems that the boss really values ​​this Leslie." Someone said in an envious tone. Said.

"Maybe it's the boss's relatives or friends. In short, everyone should be careful in the future. The boss is covering her, so don't turn your eyes away and step on the landmine." Someone said with a smile.

When he said this, everyone's expressions turned serious, they stopped talking about Tai Lun, and bowed their heads to do things.

……

Ximen was pointed out by Xu Guanwu to be Zhang Guorong's manager, and he was also very puzzled.

In the superstar manager company, managers are generally divided into four grades of SABC. There are only eight S-level managers in total, who are responsible for jointly handling all the company's affairs. The power is only under the boss Xu Guanwu, similar to the chief minister of the cabinet in ancient times, with one person under ten thousand.

A-level managers are responsible for first-line red stars, such as Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, etc. Of course, they are only responsible for work-related affairs, and the rest of the daily chores are handled by personal assistants.

B-level managers are in charge of second- and third-tier artists, such as Zhong Fa, Chen Huiyi, and Liu Qiusheng, and are responsible for handling their work affairs. As for the trivial matters of life, the company does not control them.

Although the C-level manager has the name of a manager, he is actually the personal assistant mentioned earlier, responsible for all the trivial matters of the star's life.Of course, although it seems to be the same as Ban'er, the chance of promotion is the greatest.If you build a good relationship with the stars, maybe you will become an A-level manager in the future.

The basic salaries of the managers of the four levels of SABC are the same, but the bonuses are very different. S-level managers may receive more than 2000 yuan in dividends a month, A-level managers may only receive about [-] yuan, B-level managers may only receive one to two thousand yuan, and C-level managers may only receive one to two hundred yuan.

Such a huge wealth gap urges bottom-level managers to continue to climb upwards for high salaries; it also ensures that top-level managers will not easily change jobs due to high salaries.

Ximen Bufan was a B-level manager before, because he helped his artists get many cooperation projects, and after accumulating, he became an A-level manager, showing a very outstanding talent.

He originally thought that he would be with first-line stars like Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao, because not only did they have a high film salary, but they also had a lot of other income, such as commercials, shows, etc., and their monthly share was very considerable.

But now the boss asked him to be with this young man. Although Zhang Guorong is very handsome, he is a patriarch who admires his face and was born to eat the rice in the entertainment industry, but he is still a penniless rookie, and he doesn't know when he will become famous.

There are pretty boys everywhere in Hong Kong, but none of them become a star. Ximen is very worried about whether the handsome guy he follows has the possibility of becoming a star.

At the same time, he was still guessing what the relationship between this young man and the boss was, and why the boss valued him so much. It was an unprecedented thing for him to point out himself as an A-level manager as soon as he entered the company.

"Could it be that he is a relative of the boss?" Ximen secretly speculated in his heart, "Find an opportunity to ask, if he is really a relative of the boss, then I will have to be careful in the future."

……

When I came to Yisheng Records, I saw that the whole company was busy, and there were bursts of music in the practice room. It sounded like the Wenner Band was practicing.

Winner Band released an English song a few years ago, and the sales of the album are pretty good. In the past six months, apart from performing, they are also preparing their own new album.

From this point, it can also be seen that Ma Jiahua lacks pioneering spirit. Winner Band is a new singer. If the performance is good in the early stage of debut, the speed of releasing albums must be accelerated. At least two albums a year, or even three, The four shots were kept as high exposure as possible.

However, it has been half a year since the last album was released, and there is still no clue about the new album, which made Xu Guanwu also have opinions on Ma Jiahua.

The arrival of the boss caused a commotion in the company.Ma Jiahua greeted him personally and let Xu Guanwu into the office.

"This is Leslie, the young singer newly introduced by the company. He has great potential. First, you can assign him a few teachers to teach him." Xu Guanwu introduced Zhang Guorong to Ma Jiahua.

"Okay, I will do it well." Ma Jiahua nodded quickly.

"Well," Xu Guanwu nodded, "Wenner Band and Xu Xiaofeng have also been quiet for half a year, and each will release an album this summer."

"Yes." Ma Jiahua replied with a serious look on his face.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, I'm leaving first." Xu Guanwu said, "You can take Leslie to familiarize yourself with the company environment later. This is a good seedling, don't give me trouble."

"I promise not, don't worry, boss." Ma Jiahua responded quickly.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and went straight to TVB by car.

……

Ma Jiahua sent Xu Guanwu downstairs, and stood there watching Xu Guanwu's car leave until the rear of the car was no longer visible, then returned to the company with a sigh.

"Who is Leslie? Hello, I am the manager of this record company. My name is Ma Jiahua. You can just call me Brother Hua." Ma Jiahua said while holding Zhang Guorong's hand enthusiastically.

Zhang Guorong was also a little flattered. He had worked several jobs before, and the boss either raised his eyebrows or raised his eyes, or was as cold as frost. Where did he meet such an enthusiastic boss?

But he didn't know that the reason why Ma Jiahua acted like this was entirely for Xu Guanwu's face.It has always been the case that newcomers in the company are not accompanied by the boss in person. Zhang Guorong can be regarded as the only one, and his identity is not easy.

"Maybe it's the boss's relatives." Ma Jiahua also speculated, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to flatter.

Ever since Zheng Donghan was in charge of Xu Guanying's record last time, Ma Jiahua has been sensitive to the boss's dissatisfaction with her.Although he didn't want to admit it, he also agreed that Zheng Donghan's handling ability was better than his own.

For Xu Guanying's album, it only took two weeks from the beginning of planning to the completion of production, which can be said to be quite fast.Ma Jiahua thinks that he can't achieve such perfection. He faintly feels that his manager's position is threatened, so he must find an opportunity to restore the boss's confidence in him.

And this newcomer named Leslie was undoubtedly the last chance Xu Guanwu gave him.

Ma Jiahua made up her mind that she must seize this opportunity.

After making up his mind, Ma Jiahua enthusiastically accompanied Zhang Guorong, went around the entire record company, introduced vocal music teachers, instrumental music teachers, lyrics teachers, recording teachers, etc. to him, and also assigned the company's most powerful teachers to Zhang Guorong, promise to give him the most perfect teaching.

During the transfer, Ma Jiahua also took the opportunity to chat with Ximen, and was surprised to find that even Ximen didn't know about Zhang Guorong's background, so she couldn't help being more curious.

"You have known the boss longer than me, so you don't know if there is such a relative in their family?" Ximen asked Ma Jiahua suspiciously.

"Although I was acquired by the company last year, I have always lived in a remote corner, and I don't have close contacts with the boss. How do I know about their family?" Ma Jiahua spread his hands.

"What's the origin of this pretty boy? The boss cares so much about him. Even if he's not a relative, he probably has a deep relationship." Ximen speculated.

"What are we trying to guess here? We'll know if we go up and talk about clichés." Ma Jiahua said with a smile.

Simon nodded and walked over with Ma Jiahua.

Zhang Guorong was curiously looking through the window into the practice room, where the five members of the Winner Band were practicing their own songs.It was an English song "SHA-LA-LA". It had a cheerful style and a dynamic rhythm. Singers from many countries had sung it.

Zhang Guorong has also listened to this song before, and felt that the original singer had already sung quite perfectly, but today, listening to Wenner Band's singing, he felt another kind of vitality, and he couldn't help but nodded in admiration, thinking to himself that being a singer is not enough. easy.

"This is your brothers, Wenna Band, who joined the company last year. Come, let me introduce you." Ma Jiahua said with a smile.

"They are practicing singing, so it's better not to use it." Zhang Guorong was worried that he would disturb others, so he quickly declined.

"It doesn't matter, Allen and the others speak well. You are all young people, so you should be able to play together." Ma Jiahua knocked on the door, then opened it and walked in.

"Hello manager!" Alan Tam, who was singing, saw Ma Jiahua coming in, and quickly led everyone to greet him.

Although his practice was interrupted, there was no sign of displeasure on his face.
