Jiang Se is indeed not the girl that Chang Yuhu imagined would enter the entertainment industry. She is more suitable for a cup of tea and a book at this time.
The two of them tacitly did not mention Zhu Pan's name. Chang Yuhu took a sip of tea and held the cup in his palm:
"But now that we have stepped into this threshold, let's just leave it like this for now." She exhaled a breath of hot air and asked Jiang Se:
"Have you decided which agency to sign with?"
Jiang Se did not hide it from her and filled her teacup to 80% full before putting the teapot aside:
"I have considered it, but I haven't decided yet."
Chang Yuhu smiled and said, "This era is different from our time. Opportunities are no longer reserved for those who are prepared, but for those who are prepared and capable. This industry is colorful and will always attract a group of people to rush in. In the end, they forget their original purpose." She shook her head, "What do you think of Zhu Pan's incident this time?"
As he said this, Chang Yuhu narrowed his eyes to gauge her expression, but found that when she heard the name Zhu Pan, she did not frown, nor did she show any disgust or anger. It was obvious that she had done a good job of self-cultivation, and it was not known whether she hid her joy and anger in her heart, or whether she was very self-disciplined and did not care about Zhu Pan at all.
"You want me to consider Century Galaxy?" Jiang Se reacted quickly when he heard Chang Yuhu mention the name 'Zhu Pan'.
Chang Yuhu burst into laughter and looked at Jiang Se with admiration:
"Sese, you are very smart. The founder of Century Galaxy is Luo Yin. Luo Yin and I had some friendship in the early years. He called me this afternoon and expressed his sincere attitude." She pondered what she wanted to say, "Nowadays, the circle is very deep, and you may fall into it if you are not careful. Some people can stand up and walk again after getting their feet wet, but some people may never be able to get up again." She looked at Jiang Se meaningfully, "You have good innate conditions. This kind of appearance is like a gift from God, but it is also easy to arouse the covetousness of others. If there is no strong person to protect you, it is easy to become a plaything of others."
"Fortunately, you are smart and know what you want." She put down the cup and adjusted her cuffs carefully:
"Luo Yin is a smart guy with big ambitions. He is brave and daring. Now Century Galaxy is already the leading agency in the domestic circle. Its resources and connections are unmatched by other companies."
She also vaguely heard that Jiang Se had someone backing him up, but Chang Yuhu continued:
"I have been retired for many years, but because of my past experience, I can probably understand some things. With the development of China, domestic media, self-media, and online information have developed comprehensively. Although the Ministry of Culture of China is still the leader, most companies have actually become independent."
Before Jiang Se was reborn, she had no detailed knowledge of the entertainment industry. Now she listened to Chang Yuhu's analysis for her:
"There are also hidden rules in the industry nowadays. Whether it is from the perspective of actor status or artistry, first-class movies, second-class television, third-class variety shows, fourth-class music, and then hosts, reporters and the like." She counted on her fingers and said seriously:
"You are very lucky. As soon as you entered the circle, you acted in movies. Your starting point is high. I suggest that you should stop seeking money and take on TV dramas. It will only lower your standards."
These words had a great impact on Jiang Se. She listened quietly to Chang Yuhu saying:
"Let's talk about movies. Everyone knows that the movie market is a big pie, but there are rules for how to distribute the market share." She picked up the cup on the table, "If the domestic movie market resources are divided into ten parts, the major media, entertainment, and brokerage companies will take more than six of the resources first, and the powerful will take 30%. They have their own relationships and cooperation with the theaters, and the remaining resources will only be 10%. We won't talk about whether these resources are good or bad, but those who choose to take the resources first have priority."
Chang Yuhu looked up at Jiang Se:
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Jiang Se nodded, and Chang Yuhu smiled:
"I also vaguely heard that you have someone around you, but Sese, although it is definitely not easy to get along in this industry without power and influence, but having power and influence is not necessarily omnipotent. Any industry requires a balance."
The people around her all have good backgrounds, but they just have too many resources. While things were smooth in the early days, that may not be the case in the later days.
The entertainment industry is a market that also requires a certain degree of saturation. People in the circle will praise and respect those with real military and political power, but businessmen value profit, and once the interests are divided, if she suddenly rushes out to grab a share of the profits, she will inevitably be ostracized.
This industry seems big, but it is actually very small. There are connections everywhere in the circle. If she wants to satisfy her desire and become famous, that's fine, but if she wants to truly make her own way, she has to rely on herself to work hard.
Regardless of how sincere the people around her are, from Chang Yuhu's point of view, it is always better to rely on oneself than on others.
"Look at this circle, there are some who have good backgrounds and are famous, but how many of them can produce works?"
In fact, Jiang Se had also thought about what Chang Yuhu said. She entered the entertainment industry not just for fame and fortune, so when Pei Yi mentioned that he wanted to start a company for her that day, she refused.
"I see."
Chang Yuhu could also tell that she was not forced to say this, and it was obvious that she had really thought it through.
"If you care about what I said about Zhu Pan, I won't say the rest." But she didn't hold a grudge against Zhu Pan, which was rare: "Luo Yin owed me a favor in his early years," Chang Yuhu winked at Jiang Se, "and now he took the initiative to call me because of what his artist said. If you consider his company, he will sell my few points of face."
In other words, if Jiang Se enters Century Galaxy, with Luo Yin's attention, she will not suffer any loss.
Regardless of whether the people around her will protect her in the future, it will be beneficial to Jiang Se. "Think about it carefully."
After saying this, Chang Yuhu obviously didn't intend to bring up this topic anymore. He then asked about Jiang Se's recent situation. The opening ceremony of "Beijing Grand Event" will be held on January 25th, and the filming will officially begin. Chang Yuhu and Hou Xiling have a close personal relationship, so he obviously knew about this a long time ago.
I talked to Jiang Se about the role of "Doukou" in "Beijing Events". I heard that Jiang Se had been practicing for a long time, and she looked approving:
"There are no shortcuts in any industry, not even in the entertainment industry. External conditions are a gift from God, but inner qualities need to be polished by oneself."
Jiang Se agreed with it and thanked Chang Yuhu for his teachings.
As a teacher, what I like most is to teach students like Jiang Se, who can understand things quickly, is not arrogant or impatient, and most importantly, she can listen to instructions, which makes teachers feel very fulfilled when teaching. (To be continued)
