I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 334 Work Exchange, Industry Insider

Gong Jiajia didn't understand the deep meaning in He Yixuan's words, and said without thinking:

"Yes, it's difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, I have to work hard. I believe I will achieve it one day!"

Be brave, don’t be afraid of difficulties, GO!

He Yixuan looked at Gong Jiajia with some envy. She would never be able to be so determined and optimistic.

If she had this kind of personality, He Yixuan thought, she probably wouldn't have been so troubled in the past few months.

But she did this for her career, and He Yixuan didn't think she was wrong.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

The only thing she felt guilty about was that the company did invest a lot of resources in her, but she just didn't have the luck to become a big hit. At the same time, her agent didn't wholeheartedly plan a development path for her.

Until now, He Yixuan is still dissatisfied with Sui Lingfang for not treating her the same way as before. Anger can be suppressed, but it will eventually explode.

——Job-hopping was the answer He Yixuan gave to Sui Lingfang.

Jinli walked into the agency department, which was full of busy scenes.

There are now more people in Chenxi Entertainment’s agency department.

This year, the company not only recruited many 18th-tier artists for training, but also expanded its team of agents.

Employees who receive agent training may not necessarily end up being artists’ agents, but may be transferred to various departments.

But no matter which department you go to, the company regards agent training as basic training for entry, hoping that employees in each department will not be out of touch with the artists.

Only by putting yourself in the artist's shoes and understanding their needs can you better serve them.

At the same time, the training in the economic department can also train employees' sensitivity to the entertainment industry. Even if they go to other departments, they can quickly grasp hot spots and design events for artists that are very likely to become hot searches.

This is exactly in line with what netizens said: What you see as coincidence is just a carefully designed necessity.

Of course, the most dramatic part of the entertainment industry is——

You can’t make something become an internet sensation by forcing it. Instead, the “roughness” of something without any polish will attract more interest from netizens.

Chenxi Entertainment does not expect to be able to plan hot search events for artists. Their purpose is to provide better services to artists and ensure that their employees do not fail to understand the trends in the entertainment industry and are clueless about anything.

"Jinli is here!" An agent saw Jinli, his eyes lit up and he greeted her immediately.

As if it had caused a chain reaction, the other agents put down their work and looked up to greet Jinli.

"Good afternoon, Jinli!"

"Come on, Jinli, I've always liked your work, and I follow every one of your movies and TV series!"

"Jinli, welcome to the company!"

Jinli smiled and nodded one by one.

I have to say that although Chenxi Entertainment is a small company, it has a good corporate culture and has exclusive cultural day activities every month. People who work here at least look happy on the surface.

Every time Jinli comes to the company, she can get a lot of emotional value from them. Just for this reason, I believe other artists like to come to the company.

Jinli didn't know that in Chenxi Entertainment, the only one who could get all the agents to stop their work and come to her for treatment was Xi Mengze.

Many artists envy Jinli, and just for the service awareness of the agent, they would like to give it a try.

What's more, some people even aim for this.

If not for anything else, it’s just so that everyone in the company has to “look up” when they see her.

Although the agent in the office was very enthusiastic, Jinli did not stay for long and quickly slipped into Sui Lingfang's office.

Sui Lingfang was working with her head down, writing and drawing with a pen in her hand.

Hearing the knock on the door, she looked up and saw Jinli opening the door and coming in, and she couldn't help but smile brightly.

Sui Lingfang said: "Are you back from your announcement?"

Jinli nodded, with a little excitement in her eyes: "You must watch this episode of "Leisurely Slow Life". I promise you, our recording is very exciting. You will never imagine what kind of roles we have experienced!"

Sui Lingfang asked curiously, "What did you experience that even you are so optimistic about it?"

Jinli is not a person who can be very happy because of a small thing. She usually has a very indifferent attitude towards many things.

It’s just like receiving a notice. Unless it’s a very high-quality notice, I’ll be a little surprised. For other notices, I treat them calmly.

For example, when developing a dedicated line product, Jinli just calmly ordered that it should be done, without any feeling of anticipation or excitement.

This is also one of the reasons why the media thinks Jinli may retire at any time. Many of her behaviors are not like those of an artist in the entertainment industry.

While other artists were busy running around for promotions, she was busy studying and doing exercises.

When other artists have time to relax, they travel or stay at home, but Jinli watches the runway.

The most important thing is that she goes to the temple during work hours and also when she has nothing to do.

In addition to doing exercises and studying, even netizens can tell what Jinli likes to do most, which is to go to the Taoist temple to burn incense.

It was also because Jinli often went to the Taoist temple that she unknowingly attracted a lot of tourists to the temple.

Since last year, the number of tourists visiting Taoist temples across China has skyrocketed, tripling compared to the year before. As for this year... the data is probably even more inflated.

Jinli said with a smile: "The production team said we can promote it, but the content must be kept confidential."

Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows, and one could feel that she was in a good mood.

She did not ask about this matter, but sat next to the sofa, facing Jinli, and mentioned another matter.

"I have good news for you. A few days ago, I reached a consensus with Domi's President Nan that we can give you the exclusive license for the product for two years. During these two years, Domi will not launch products with similar formulas and will focus on promoting your co-branded products."

Jinli quickly understood what was going on: "Two years, it just happens to be the end of my contract, this number of years is very good."

Sui Lingfang said with satisfaction: "Yes, the other profit-sharing ratios have already been agreed upon and there is no change. Duomi had some ideas, but I suppressed them all."

Her eyes showed a bit of sharpness: "Domi chose you as their spokesperson a long time ago. Now it is only the second year of the contract. The return you give them far exceeds their investment in you. It's good enough that we don't raise the price.

The endorsement fee agreed before has not changed, but if you start a new cooperation with them in your current capacity, then everything will be based on your current value, and each matter will be treated separately."

Jinli nodded and said with satisfaction: "Sister Fang, I trust you to do the job."

Sui Lingfang smiled. Although she was very happy, she also wanted to give the artists a shot of prevention.

“Although you have exclusive rights to the product for the next two years, I’m afraid that it will only be the most profitable in the first six months after launch, and the profits will get lower and lower after that.

After all, cosmetics are updated very quickly, and Domi can't help you promote them all year round. They also have many new products under development. I guess your co-branded product is only promoted as a quarterly new product. After this quarter's promotion, they will start promoting the next quarter's new products. "

Jinli nodded. She had expected this situation.

“At least my style is unique, and no similar products will be launched in the next two years, so it can be said that there is no substitute.

We can’t control the formula, after all, we don’t know much about the cosmetics industry, but we can try the products in advance and give us feedback on the feel of use. I hope we can control this aspect well.”

Sui Lingfang immediately picked up her phone and wrote it down. "The area you're talking about is the skin texture. I'll talk to Duomi when I'm free."

Jinli added: "Also, the ingredients must be safe and reliable, and controversial ingredients should not be used."

Sui Lingfang: “For example?”

Jinli: "Some brands have developed an ingredient that is very effective for whitening or anti-aging, but this ingredient has not been verified by the country.

That is, the industry has not set standards for this ingredient, and there is no regulation on how much to add, or what concentration should not exceed... We cannot use these controversial ingredients."

Sui Lingfang: "OK, I think the same as you on this point. I would rather use proven ingredients than be radical and try new things."

At this point, Sui Lingfang asked curiously: "How do you suddenly know so much? Did you take time out of your busy schedule to do your homework?"

Jinli choked up, not knowing how to explain her luck to Sui Lingfang.

It's really... lucky.

She also spends two or three hours every day surfing the Internet. Don't underestimate the time management master. If she is not running around and studying every day, she can still spend two hours surfing the Internet.

It is inevitable to watch some videos when surfing the Internet. The knowledge she learned about the beauty industry and the traps set by brands...all were seen by her through watching videos.

She also didn't know why the videos pushed to her by her phone were all related to her endorsements.

Anyway, one of them was interested in watching, and the other tried to move towards her, so she learned a lot of industry insider information in her spare time.

Jinli smiled at Sui Lingfang.

Sui Lingfang didn't know what was going on in her mind, and gave her a thumbs up: "You are so dedicated!"

Jinli still smiled.

"As for the magazine shoot with Fang Fei, Fang Fei has carefully considered and decided to postpone it. Originally scheduled for two days later, they decided to postpone it to next week, saying they wanted to come up with a better plan."

Sui Lingfang sighed: "Fang Fei is really serious this time. It seems that she is determined to beat Hua Yun!"

Jinli nodded slightly. The more Fangfei cared about her, the happier she was. After all, she didn't want to be looked down upon by Huayun.

She rejected Huayun and chose Fangfei after much thought, and hoped that Fangfei could give her a surprise this time.

Seeing that Sui Lingfang had nothing else to talk about, Jinli took the initiative to ask: "Still haven't found a suitable script?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "No, there are many scripts handed to me, but the characters are all similar to the ones you have played before.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if there are overlaps, as long as the characters are well designed. Unfortunately, many scripts are not well designed in terms of plot. No matter how good the characters are, if they encounter a bad plot, it is difficult for them to have the potential to become a hit.”

Jinli: "It's okay, we have plenty of time to wait."

She thought for a while and said slowly: "Do you know Pearl's company?"

pearl?

Sui Lingfang's brain was instantly activated. She had never heard of an artist named "Pearl". That could only be the nickname that Jinli was used to calling her...

Ding Dong!

Sui Lingfang immediately thought of Qi Guan Mingzhu.

The nicknames that the pink girls call each other in private are all quite appropriate.

Qi Guan Mingzhu is called "Pearl" not because of her name, but because she likes to wear pearl jewelry. Pearls are a fashion item that she carries with her all year round.

Ji Qinglian was called "Lotus" not because of her name, but because as a captain, she had to deal with many emergencies, so she had to keep herself calm and composed like the lotus, with a heart as pure as the lotus, neither sad nor happy.

As for Jinli's nickname "carp", it is easier to understand. It is said that Jinli had good luck in the past, but her luck has been getting better in recent years.

Sui Lingfang pondered and said, "Qi Guan Mingzhu's company, I remember it was called Century Entertainment. This company..."

Her expression showed a hint of disgust, "Not very good."

Jinli asked hurriedly: "What do you mean?"

Sui Lingfang: "Out of professional ethics, I have investigated this company and learned some things. Let's not talk about the information I got from inside, just what I found out.

The company Century Entertainment is closely tied to Qi Guan Mingzhu. In other words, this company relies entirely on Qi Guan Mingzhu to build its core matrix, and the most critical person is Qi Guan Mingzhu.

Once Qi Guan Ming Zhu is out of fashion, this company will quickly disappear from the entertainment industry."

Sui Lingfang gave Jinli some time to digest, and specially made a pot of Biluochun, drinking while talking.

“It’s not that the core of this strategy is bad, it’s that it has no ambition and only wants to pick up pearls instead of cultivating a new company facade.

If it were any other company, this strategy would have failed long ago. After all, no matter how popular a star is, there will be a day when his or her popularity will expire, and no one can stand at the pinnacle of traffic.

But Qi Guan Mingzhu is different. She is a member of Pink Girls and has a wide base among the public. She can be an evergreen in the entertainment industry. "

Sui Lingfang changed the subject, as if she had already brought in the artist's perspective, and said with dissatisfaction:
"But the problem also arises here. They did not plan Qi Guan Mingzhu's career, which resulted in her popularity falling from a first-tier star to a second-tier star in just a few years.

You also know that Qi Guan Mingzhu has participated in many variety shows, and the personality she displayed in the variety shows is very popular. Many netizens know that she loves to read comics, visit comic exhibitions, and sometimes speaks in a very anime style.

But Century Entertainment did not take this as the core to build the artist's competitiveness. Instead, it allowed her to continue to appear in unimportant variety shows, constantly eroding the public's impression of her! "

Jinli felt that Sui Lingfang was a little excited, so she looked up at her and found that her expression was quite disappointed.

“Believe it or not, if Qi Guan Mingzhu hadn’t accepted the variety show “Leisurely Slow Life”, her popularity would probably have dropped to the bottom echelon of second-tier stars. It’s completely her luck that she can regain her status as a first-tier star.

If I remember correctly, the variety show "Leisure and Slow Life" was not taken on her behalf by the company. She took it privately without reporting it to the company. She had a very bad relationship with the company because of this matter.

Later, the show became very popular, and her company finally let go of their grudges and, based on her growing popularity, gave her many second- and third-tier variety shows.

Later, when the second season of "Leisure Slow Life" was about to be filmed, her company bypassed the artist and privately communicated with the production team to ask for an increase in the notice fee..."

Jinli couldn't stop nodding, and what happened next matched up perfectly.

Sui Lingfang couldn't help but complain: "You don't know how high the notice fee her company charges is. Tianding Entertainment didn't get angry because of Qi Guan Mingzhu!
I heard from a friend that the fee was higher than that of March Day. Where did her company get the courage to do that? "

Maybe it was Fish Leong who gave me the courage...

Finally I made this decision. I don't care what others say, as long as you are sure. I am willing to go with you to the ends of the earth. I know it's not easy. I keep trying to convince myself. I am most afraid that you will suddenly say you want to give up...
