Chapter 24 The New Year Begins
42 The new year begins
When Sharon came back, Shu Yue was really ashamed and guilty.Taking advantage of the five-day vacation to recharge herself crazily, she found out all the movies directed by Qian and watched them one by one.Shu Yue took notes while watching, and at the same time found movies with similar themes for comparison, comparing different story lines, expressive techniques, and so on.She read the comments on the Internet, too commercial to have artistic value, too artistic and not commercial.The need is to combine commercialization and artistry better.Director Qian's position in the film industry, if he said that he was second, no one would dare to say that he was number one.

For several days in a row, Shu Yue looked in the dark.She watched more than a dozen movies in a row, and at the same time she ordered some professional books from the Internet: "TV Program Shooting", "TV Editing", "World Film History", "Chinese Film History", "Basic Theory of Performance", "Basic Acting Skills"... She has been a good student since she was a child, graduated from a key university with a master's degree, and is now a doctor who has changed careers, so she must start the learning mode.

On the first day of the first lunar month, she sent WeChat New Year greetings to her parents.Although her mother was very angry when she knew that Shu Yue had resigned as a manager, had a child and refused to get married, and wanted to sever the relationship between mother and daughter, Shu Yue still felt sorry for them and would greet Ankang every year and holiday.Parents are always their last stand and harbor. When there is no way to retreat, they will never give up on themselves.The relationship between Shu Yue and his father has always been relatively good. The engineer's father has the meticulous patience and gentleness of an engineering man.When Shu Yue quarreled with her mother when she was young, it was always her father who enlightened her.My mother is a teacher, and she has strict requirements on Shu Yue since she was a child, from words and deeds to study, ideals, and making friends. She does not allow any sloppy, and she seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder.In elementary school and junior high school, Shu Yue's pressure was fine. In high school, Shu Yue was admitted to the best high school in the city. There are mountains beyond the mountains. Shu Yue felt that he could not enter the first echelon, and he was under a lot of pressure facing his mother.Although she was admitted to a top ten key university in the end and went on to study for a master's degree, my mother was not very satisfied.Perhaps in her eyes, Shu Yue should have entered the country's No. [-] and No. [-] schools, so her mother has been a little disappointed.

On the first day of the New Year's work, the middle and senior managers held a meeting with the board of directors.

"I have read everyone's annual work summary report, and today we will discuss the work arrangements for the new year." Xiao Ya said.

"For artists whose business performance has not improved, we plan to rotate managers internally." CEO Kevin said, "Do you have any suggestions and opinions?"

"This is not good. Some artists need time to grow. They have just gotten in touch with their managers within a year or two. If they change to a new manager, the two parties need to get in touch again."

"That's right, and the success of a product like an artist is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, and the market is so competitive."

"Then if the artist and the agent do not match, and we don't make corresponding adjustments, it will waste resources on the one hand and delay the growth and development of the artist on the other hand. In the long run, it will not be conducive to the development of the company. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Let the artist choose his own agent."

"This will cause the artist to be inclined like one or two ace managers."

"The job of being a manager is not something that anyone can do. It's not reasonable for some people to be assistant managers of celebrities as soon as they enter the company. Time has proved that they have not made any great contributions." Shu Yue heard that this is very strange. She obviously connoted herself, she was not angry, and she really felt that she should contribute more to the company.

"I have a little idea." Shu Yue said, "Actually, KPI is used for performance evaluation, and the main indicator is the agreement amount. The income of each agent is directly related to the performance of the artist he is bound to. Otherwise, for the company's annual contract Celebrities with an amount of more than 1000 million yuan implement a manager rotation system, which can fully mobilize the resources of the agent. Artists with an annual contract amount of more than 1000 million yuan have considerable strength and characteristics, and if they are cultivated well, they may produce superstars."

"The artists won't agree with this," Xiao Ya said. "Let's do this. We will retain the original method of drawing lots to determine the artist-manager combination. If a certain artist-manager combination has no obvious business growth within two years, we will consider changing the combination." This is for newcomers. For star artists, they can decide to choose their own agents. In addition, if the agent has resources and thinks it is suitable for artists who are not in their own group, they can also recommend them to the company, and there will be corresponding rewards for successful business negotiations. This is sufficient Mobilize everyone's resources and the matching degree of artists."

"this is okay!"

"Agreed!"

"Okay, Mr. Xiao is amazing!"

Before the New Year's meeting, Xiao Ya discussed with Shu Yue and wanted Shu Yue to be the executive assistant, but Shu Yue refused.

"Mr. Xiao, there are already people in the company who have opinions on me, so doing this will not convince the public."

"We promoted you because you got acquainted with Director Qian, the boss of the film industry. I hope you can take care of the company's artists in the future and give the right resources to the right artists." Xiao Ya explained, "Sometimes the show is good, but because of the matching If the actor is not good, no matter how much you push it, you will push it hard. The best one is the one that suits you, but it also depends on luck.”

"Mr. Xiao, I understand your good intentions." Shu Yue said, "I will definitely work hard. As for Director Qian, I just met him, and he only gets offended first, so don't expect too much."

"It would be great if Lin Yu could take on a movie and go on the big screen. He can't keep making TV dramas. Only by going on the big screen can he enter the world market and become an international superstar."

"Is this the New Year's goal you set for him?" Shu Yue asked knowingly.

"if not?"

"To be honest, Lin Yu's acting skills are not up to par. If there is a role, I'm afraid Director Qian may not like him."

"How can you hurt your own artists like this."

"He needs to hone his acting skills again. Give him another year to hone it. Let's get him some different roles, polish his acting skills in all aspects, and then push him to the big screen."

"And how many queens?" Xiao Ya pressed.

"Look at everyone's good fortune."
