I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 492 This was a serious and solemn conversation.
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

In March, when the children were going to visit Brother Guang, Brother Guang called them first and told them to stay in the villa that night and not wander around, as he was coming over to check their announcements.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Guang looked at Qi Guanmingzhu in the car and asked, "Are you really sure you don't plan to stay and develop your career in Tianding?"

Qi Guanmingzhu smiled and said, "Brother Guang, we were never together to begin with, so why should we stay?"

Zhang Guang understood that the other party didn't take the Heavenly Cauldron seriously at all.

Despite spending these past few months together, he still couldn't win over Qi Guanmingzhu.

But Zhang Guang thought again that it was probably for the best that they didn't stay. Tianding Entertainment was going to change its management this year, and the company was in turmoil. Bringing in celebrities would be risky.

He suddenly remembered something and asked Ji Qinglian, "Have you sensed anything unusual at the company lately?"

Ji Qinglian shook her head and said, "No, I basically don't stay at the company."

Zhang Guang nodded, pondering Ji Qinglian's escape route.

If he continues as her agent and stays at Tianding Entertainment, protecting Ji Qinglian will not be a problem.

But if he leaves the company due to some unforeseen event, then Ji Qinglian...

Zhang Guang thought of the contract she had signed with the company, and her tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

Even when he's not at the company, Ji Qinglian doesn't seem to have any problems.

The contract she signed with the company was very special, with very few restrictions imposed by Tianding Entertainment, as Tianding Entertainment approached the negotiations with great sincerity.

The company initially wanted to use Ji Qinglian to win over the other members of Pink Girls, but they couldn't offer her a very generous profit-sharing ratio, so they gave her a great deal of autonomy.

This autonomy manifests in the fact that even though he is Ji Qinglian's agent, he cannot arbitrarily arrange appearances for her; she must personally sign all kinds of contracts.

If even the artist's closest manager can't control the artist's schedule, then the company is even less likely to directly intervene.

To be honest, Ji Qinglian's contract is better than March Sky's current contract.

March Sky still has the same contract from several years ago, when they were still developing and needed the company's support.

If he's shameless enough, he can sign the appearance contract in place of March Sky.

But Zhang Guang wants to work with artists for a long time. He will only sign contracts on their behalf if it is an important contract and March Band is out of town and cannot come back.

Zhang Guang said, "Let's have a meal together. After midnight, the contract between Mingzhu and Tianding will officially end."

Qi Guanmingzhu raised an eyebrow: "I thought you would continue to persuade me."

Zhang Guang smiled and said, "You have to be selective about who you persuade. You have no intention of staying with Tianding Entertainment, so no matter how I try to persuade you, it will be useless. It's better to just disband it cleanly and leave you with a good impression."

He joked, "Maybe I'll need you to give me some resources in the future."

Qi Guanmingzhu readily agreed: "You've been very responsible as my manager these past few months. Although there have been many engagements scheduled, I'm still quite happy to have the team leader help me manage them."

If you ever need my help in the future, just come to me. I'll help if I can!

Zhang Guang thought to himself, if Qi Guanmingzhu's personality wasn't so laid-back, then it would suit him quite well.

He likes to talk to straightforward and intelligent people.

After dinner, Zhang Guang took them back to their apartment.

Qi Guanmingzhu had another place to stay, but she said she wanted to sleep with Ji Qinglian tonight, so Zhang Guang took them there together.

After Zhang Guang left, Qi Guanmingzhu immediately said, "Don't you think Brother Guang acted a little strange tonight?"

As Ji Qinglian scrolled through today's trending topics, she casually said, "No, isn't it normal? I didn't do anything like crying, making a scene, or threatening suicide to keep you here."

Qi Guanmingzhu rolled her eyes: "You know that's not what I meant."

“He started acting strangely a few days ago. He used to test me every day, making several small advertisements for Tianding Entertainment, which is number one in the industry. But what about today?”
Not only did he not say a word in defense of his former employer, but he also said he might need me to introduce him to resources in the future. Don't you find that strange? He's just an agent; what resources could I possibly introduce to him?

Her mind was racing, constantly guessing and analyzing:

"Resources related to artists? It certainly won't be appearances or gigs. I can't possibly contribute my own resources to the artists he manages, so it can only be resources related to artists."

But he has good artist resources right now, with the popular band March Band and you working under him. As long as Tianding isn't stupid, he wouldn't reassign his artists to others, unless…”

"Tian Ding has gone bankrupt!"

"He's changing jobs."

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Qi Guanmingzhu looked at the calm Ji Qinglian and asked in surprise, "I thought you couldn't sense anything. How did you know he was going to switch jobs?"

Ji Qinglian smiled faintly: "Would you believe me if I said I had a premonition?"

Qi Guan Mingzhu: "I don't believe it!"

Ji Qinglian continued scrolling through trending topics on her phone with her head down, saying, "Actually, it's easy to analyze. Zhang Guang has mentioned to us more than once that the new head of the public relations department has his eye on March Sky and always wants to interfere with March Sky's announcements."

They also mentioned to us that Tianding has been internally unstable recently, with numerous factions. Celebrities want to support powerful forces, while powerful forces also want to support celebrities to obtain more resources.

In addition, Zhang Guang has been frequently called to company meetings lately, and there are all sorts of rumors circulating within the company. Several agents from Tianding Entertainment have privately added me on WeChat to ask about my recent situation, so I guessed he might be planning to switch companies.

Qi Guanmingzhu pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "That's not quite right."

Ji Qinglian: "What do you mean?"

Qi Guanmingzhu: "If he really wanted to switch companies, the company wouldn't be so comfortable letting him continue to handle my schedules. They would have changed our agent immediately."

Zhang Guang is leaving, and my contract hasn't been signed yet. Tianding will definitely worry that he'll try to poach me from me behind the scenes.

Ji Qinglian frowned slightly. "Yes, so what exactly is Tianding planning to do, and what is Zhang Guang's idea?"

Qi Guanmingzhu stopped thinking about it when she couldn't figure it out. "Be careful. You just signed a contract with Tianding Entertainment last year. It's not easy to switch companies now."

Ji Qinglian calmly said, "I'm not worried. If Tianding is in turmoil due to the change of management, I think Tianding will value me even more, and my resource announcements will be better than before."

Although top stars like her no longer need their companies to secure gigs for them, Tianding Entertainment is a leading company and has a pool of high-quality gigs available.

It's one thing to not need to rely on the company to pull resources, but it's another thing whether the company provides them or not.

If the company is willing to give her the opportunity and promote her, who would give up such a golden opportunity?

Qi Guanmingzhu asked curiously, "Are you really that confident?"

Ji Qinglian said calmly, "I am not a local star cultivated by Tianding, and I don't have a deep connection with Tianding. I was just recruited by Tianding."

My influence doesn't rely on Tianding to maintain its operations. As an artist within Tianding with minimal ties to the company, a single word I say carries more weight than a hundred words from artists cultivated by Tianding.

Qi Guanmingzhu understood and gave her a thumbs up.

"If Tianding makes you unhappy, just complain about it. Your fans will stand up for you and criticize Tianding's decision to change management."

Therefore, you don't need to fear any turmoil within Tianding. Turmoil will only bring you greater benefits. If you have any complaints, Tianding will find a way to silence you.

But to silence a mature and influential artist, you can't use the same tactics you use on newcomers, like cutting off their schedules.

Only by offering greater benefits can we firmly bind Ji Qinglian to the same chariot!

Qi Guanmingzhu thought to herself, "The captain should really go and act in Palace Intrigue. I bet she can make it to the end and become the queen."
-
Zhang Guang arrived at March Sky's villa. As soon as he entered, he heard the rhythm of music. To an outsider, it would seem like they were having a party late at night, but those in the know understood that they were preparing for their final concert.

Zhang Guang opened the door and went inside, and the music suddenly stopped.

It's as if this door is the gateway connecting the real world and the world of fantasy; when the door is opened, everything else ceases to exist.

Zhang Guangxian was taken aback for a moment, then joked, "I know you value me, but you didn't have to stop the music to welcome me. I was a little startled, thank you."

Chen Lin put down his guitar and took out a small plastic microphone with a serious expression.

I don't know which children's toy it came from, but the comedic effect is delightful.

Chen Lin: "We have more important things to ask you. We agreed to only rehearse until the moment you arrive."

He handed the small plastic microphone to Luo Yi, who had just sat down next to him.

Luo Yi rubbed his slightly sore shoulders, took the microphone and said, "It's time to stop anyway. We've been rehearsing for two hours and I'm a little tired."

Gu Cheng sat down and silently took the microphone from Luo Yi. "We would have stopped even if you hadn't come. Now that you're here, we can finally rest. To maintain the seriousness of the meeting, I won't be slacking off by doing practice problems."

Zhang Guang's lips twitched. "Should I say I'm honored?"

Gu Cheng paused as he was about to hand over the microphone, then put it back to his mouth, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You're welcome. This is the best treatment you can give an agent."

Zhang Guang: ...

Yan Xingdong took the microphone from Gu Cheng and pointed seriously to the person opposite him: "Please sit down first. We have a few ideas we'd like to discuss with you."

Zhang Guang: ...

Holy crap, I really want to run away, what should I do??

He first carefully, seriously, and meticulously inspected the surrounding area, then made a special look at several blind spots and opened various closed cabinets.

They breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that there were no hidden cameras or recording devices.

Zhang Guang sat down opposite the March Sky group and said speechlessly, "Looking at you guys, I thought you were filming some kind of variety show. Can't you be normal?"

Yan Xingdong remained serious: "I hope you can take this conversation seriously."

The next second, the microphone was handed to Zhang Guang.

Zhang Guang: ...

He reluctantly accepted the small plastic microphone.

He lost.

A crushing defeat.

They lost to the March Sky band that he himself had nurtured.

When everyone saw Guang Ge take the microphone, a smile flashed across their eyes.

Chen Lin's mouth gaped open, and he almost burst out laughing.

Guang Ge gave him a cold look.

Even though Chen Lin didn't laugh out loud, you could feel his schadenfreude.

Yan Xingdong coughed a few times and took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Before you and we announce the news, we have a few thoughts to share with you first."

Zhang Guang listened attentively.

Yan Xingdong wasn't one to beat around the bush, so he got straight to the point: "Tianding Entertainment is in too much chaos. We want to open our own studios, and we'd like you to come with us and switch companies. You can start a company and become our agent and promotional manager."

Every sentence in this passage contains a lot of information.

Zhang Guang frowned, and after a long while, he said, "You..."

Chen Lin interjected at the opportune moment: "Please pick up the microphone."

Zhang Guang was speechless.

When he got the microphone, he thought there was some kind of mechanism inside, and that it might not be turned on.

After studying it for a while, I realized it was just an ordinary little plastic microphone.

This damn sense of ritual!

Zhang Guang raised the microphone and said, "When did you start thinking about changing jobs? Why didn't you choose to stay at Tianding Entertainment? Tianding is a top-tier company and can still provide you with many good platforms."

Just as he was about to hand over the microphone, Yan Xingdong took out a small purple plastic microphone from the drawer.

Zhang Guang's eyelids twitched; it turned out there were extras.

Why was it passed back and forth like that before?

Yan Xingdong: "This idea only came about recently because He Yan kept trying to get us to participate in the garbage announcements he arranged."

If someone like He Yan, who is only interested in quick profits and cashing out, were to become a senior executive at Tianding Entertainment, I believe Tianding has no future, and we all unanimously do not want to develop in such a company.

He paused, "As for why we want you to switch jobs as well, you should understand the reason. The four of us trust you the most, and we don't think you can manage your personal schedule well after leaving you."

Zhang Guang couldn't help but smile.

This was the first smile he showed from the moment he entered until he sat down.

He said, "I came to see you today to tell you about my plans."

"The higher-ups intend for me to be the head of Tianding's talent agency department. This is a management position. Once I become the head, I will no longer manage any artists."

The group of people in March looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never heard Guang Ge mention this before.

Employees and management are two different things.

If Guang Ge were still just an employee, they could easily persuade him to leave, but if he became part of Tianding's management...

Although Tianding has changed its management, the internal situation is very chaotic.

But even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how much it struggles, Tianding will not fall out of the ranks of top-tier companies, and its annual profits will still be considerable.

Gu Cheng suddenly asked, "So, do you want to stay at Tianding Entertainment?"

Zhang Guang: "Originally, I wanted to stay, but I found that if I stayed, the artists I used to manage would be messed up by inexperienced managers, so I didn't want to stay."

He smiled slightly: "I share the same thoughts as you; I want to leave Tianding and start my own business."

The group from March Sky exchanged glances, all of them seeing a hint of excitement in their eyes.

The next second, Chen Lin suddenly shouted and rushed towards Zhang Guang, hugging him tightly.

The others followed suit, rushing forward to hug Zhang Guang and cheering with joy.

Everyone seemed to have shed a heavy burden, laughing and joking with immense joy.
