Great At Acting, Now I’m Reborn

Chapter 87: Negotiation skills

Views:

Zhou Yuhe got off the nanny car with thick sunglasses and a mask and walked into the building of IS.

When the elevator reached the familiar floor, he pushed open the door of Yang Yu's office, but was stunned when he saw the scene behind the door.

"Brother Bai?" Zhou Yuhe asked uncertainly, even looking back at the sign at the door, thinking he had gone to the wrong office.

The man known as Brother Bai is also the agent of the is actor department, but his abilities are not as good as Yang Yu in all aspects.

Speaking of which, the two brokers still have a lot of connections.

When Yang Yu was still in the idol department, the actor department always had the final say in Bai Ge, and even when Yang Yu was just demoted to the actor department, he had to rely on him to survive.

But since Yang Yu brought out Zhou Yuhe, his status in IS has been rising all the way. Brother Bai has changed from a bully in the acting department to a little guy who nods and bows.

Although he has always been polite to Yang Yu and Zhou Yuhe on the surface, if there are other ideas behind his back, I don't know.

Brother Bai packed up his office equipment and leaned forward with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, how can you call me brother, you're polite, just call me Abai. Come in and sit. Come in and sit."

Brother Bai's flattering attitude made Zhou Yuhe feel a little uncomfortable.

He walked into the office with a calm expression, looked around, and asked, "Where's Brother Yang?"

Seeing that Zhou Yuhe didn't have a cold for him, Brother Bai first asked Yang Yu when he came in, a trace of displeasure flashed on his face, and then quickly took the emotion into his eyes, and he replied, "He, Gao Sheng. , was transferred back to the idol department to be the manager, from today onwards I will be in charge of all your performing arts work, please take care of me."

Zhou Yuhe was silent for a while, then smiled, "So that's the case, okay, I'll have to work hard for you in the future."

There was nothing strange on his face, but there were waves in his heart.

He and Yang Yu worked together for two years. Although the break-in period was not very pleasant at the beginning, it finally became more and more tacit.

The two have supported each other, and have struggled all the way from an unknown 18th-tier artist to today. It can be said that they are among the top students in China. Even in such a huge IS, they have a considerable right to speak.

Such afflictions.

It is impossible to say that there is no relationship, just a working relationship, which can be replaced at any time.

Similarly, is should also be very clear.

Why did he suddenly change his agent? Or without informing him at all

Zhou Yuhe couldn't sit still.

He joked with Brother Bai as usual, then made an excuse and walked out of the office, preparing to go to the idol department to ask Yang Yu about the situation.

As soon as he got to the elevator, he was stopped.

"Zhou Zhou, Mr. Ji asked you to come over." The general assistant who had a good relationship with him on weekdays patted him on the shoulder.

Season manager, which season manager

Now that the is president's battle has reached a heated stage, Ji Yuan and Ji Chen's uncle and nephew have never stopped making small moves behind the scenes, and the rumors from the company's top management are the same every day.

To this day, his agent can be transferred at will without giving him any notice. In this changing situation, he is really a little confused that the "Mr. Ji" that the sister-in-law said is Ji Yuan. Still Jichen.

He was about to say that he had something to do with the actor department, but suddenly, as if thinking of something, he nodded and followed the chief assistant into the president's office.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the tall and mature back looked a little lonely and vicissitudes of life, and there were even a few strands of white hair on the temples.

Zhou Yuhe: "Mr. Ji is good."

Ji Yuan's figure froze, then turned around and smiled wearily at Zhou Yuhe, "Sit."

Uncles and nephews fought each other, relatives turned against each other, and even his biological father was not on his side.

Even a man as invincible as Ji Yuan has been exhausted by the sword and sword shadows of the past few months.

Zhou Yu and Yiyan sat on the swivel chair in front of the desk.

Ji Yuan sat down opposite him.

Obviously it was just an unintentional move, but this man who has been in charge of is for more than ten years, the father of idols widely rumored in the industry, and the tyrant in the mouths of his colleagues, when he was sitting opposite Zhou Yuhe, he actually formed a faint confrontation with him.

An indescribable tension spread between the two.

In the end, it was Ji Yuan who broke the eccentric atmosphere first.

"Have you been working hard recently?" He showed a smile that could be said to be kind, like an ordinary elder caring for his junior.

Zhou Yuhe also smiled lightly, "Compared to Mr. Ji, it's still not hard work."

Ji Yuan sighed: "President Ji... Hehe, this 'President Ji' will be replaced in a few days."

Zhou Yuhe did not answer.

He knew the results of history long ago, so he couldn't say any comforting empty words at this time.

This honesty made Ji Yuan's face a little unstoppable. He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Yang Yu's matter was decided only this morning. He is busy dealing with the idol department, so he shouldn't have time to talk to you."

The topic that Ji Yuan shifted was what Zhou Yuhe was most interested in. He asked, "Who made this decision? Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"

"Me," Ji Yuan replied slowly, he cut a cigar for himself, gestured to Zhou Yuhe with his eyes, Zhou Yuhe picked up the lighter on the desk and gave him a cigar, Ji Yuan took a deep breath After taking a sip, he smiled at him and said, "Can you agree to discuss it with you?"

Zhou Yuhe: "..."

can not.

Ji Yuan: "We are all chess pieces on the chessboard, we can't help ourselves, Xiao Zhou, Yang Yu has been in the field of idols since he entered the industry. It's almost seven or eight years. To be able to return to the idol club is considered to be benevolent."

Zhou Yuhe sneered, not being deceived by the pretentious appearance of these capitalists.

It's a good thing for everyone to be an idol department, but Zhou Yuhe doesn't think so.

In recent years, with the increasing fan effect, countless capital has been aimed at the idol market, and the competition pressure of idols has increased.

As far as Zhou Yuhe knows, in 2020, China will usher in an idol explosion. When the frequency is the highest, a new group will debut every two days. However, the opposite of prosperity is recession.

This big wave of idols not only failed to bring Huaguo's idol business to a new peak, but also greatly consumed the original domestic market consumption power. In the following ten years, the idol industry continued to shrink, and it was a ten percent growth. Downhill road.

Ordinary people can't see these market trends, but it doesn't mean that the super-big guys who are at the forefront of the idol market can't feel it.

Therefore, IS has been transforming into the film and television market in the past few years, increasing the investment in the actor department.

These things are almost enough to bluff newcomers, but Zhou Yuhe couldn't even listen to them.

Yang Yu himself is even more so. If he was in the idol circle before and didn't know the situation clearly, then he brought Zhou Yuhe in the past two years and came into contact with a lot of industry insiders.

Now is, it seems that the idol department is prosperous, and the actor department has just started. In fact, the idol department has slowly gone from peak to decline, and the actor department has too many possibilities.

For Yang Yu to choose by himself, he would definitely not want to go back.

In the end, it's ups and downs.

The reason why Ji Yuan did this was probably because he knew that he could not compete for power with Ji Chen, and wanted to cause Ji Chen some trouble before he was swept out of the house.

Not only Yang Yu, but there must be a lot of important company officials in key positions who were all assigned to other positions by him under various names.

"According to Mr. Ji's style, there should be not only Brother Yang, but other colleagues as well, right?" Zhou Yuhe sneered, this kind of dog is like a lost dog, and he will give you a few knives before leaving. It made him very disgusted.

"I know that you are on the rise in your career. It's normal for you to be unhappy when you change your agent, but Bai's ability is also good. You haven't been in contact with him before, so don't jump to conclusions." Ji Yuan's face was a little unpleasant.

"Well, I see, if you have nothing else to do, then I'll go out first."

Zhou Yuhe was too lazy to argue with Ji's uncle and nephew, and got up to leave. Ji Yuan saw it and immediately said, "Don't leave in a hurry, I have one more important thing to discuss with you."

Speaking of pulling out a document from the pile of documents beside the desk, Zhou Yuhe looked down and saw that it was the studio application submitted by himself and Yang Yu, so he had to sit back again.

Ji Yuan opened the folder and said casually, "The studio is a good idea, but unfortunately Ji Chen may not agree..."

After speaking, he stared at Zhou Yuhe with a half-smile.

There is something in his words!

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Yuhe looked at the folder in his hand, as if Ji Yuan was not holding the folder, but his handle, his eyes were alarming.

"I know my nephew's virtues. The person he likes will never let go. In this company, maybe other artists can open their own studios and get out of his control, but only you, absolutely not," Ji Yuan smiled like an old fox, "I can even imagine what will be waiting for you if the company falls into his hands..."

Zhou Yuhe took a deep breath.

I have to admit that he is right. Based on his knowledge of Ji Chen, it can be said that Ji Chen will never let him go after he takes office.

"But the situation is different now. He is not the president of is, and you still have a choice."

"Choose what?"

Ji Yuan smiled, looking like he was winning.

"Choose to follow me."

Zhou Yuhe was shocked: "Go with you? Where are you going? Isn't my contract here?"

"No, you signed in after 12 years, and the contracts were all signed in my name, Ji Yuan, that is to say, Yan Yingyi, the others, and you, are all signed to me personally, not is." Ji Yuan said leisurely. , he had long felt that his position as the president was not stable, so he took a series of preventive measures, and also registered a few shell companies outside early in case of emergency.

It turns out that planning early is always a good idea.

… old fox.

Zhou Yuhe couldn't help but curse.

****************

Zhou Yuhe came out of Ji Yuan's office. He didn't say anything for sure. He only said that he would give him some time to think about it. Ji Yuan didn't rush it. He seemed to have guessed exactly what he would choose. Reply, this is over.

For three consecutive days, not only Zhou Yuhe, but also some very important artists and managers in IS received invitations from Ji Yuan. Those who did not agree were directly assigned to other positions by Ji Yuan using his power. superior.

The situation was so clear that even Zhou Yu and himself had to admit that he was wrong.

Originally thought that Ji Yuan was a lost dog, and wanted to make some noises to disgust Ji Chen.

Now it seems that his fighting power is far more than that.

With such a big move, it is obvious that he wants to start anew, and by the way, make IS into a mess, leaving Ji Chen a chaotic shell company.

Not to mention what other people were planning, three days later, Zhou Yuhe came to Ji Yuan's office as scheduled.

"How is it? Have you considered it?" Ji Yuan asked with a cigar in his mouth.

Zhou Yuhe didn't talk nonsense, he sat down and said straight to the point: "I can go with you, but you have to promise me a few conditions."

Ji Yuan smiled: "The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, you can talk about it, if it's not too much, I can promise you."

Zhou Yuhe adjusted a comfortable posture during the transfer, and said lazily: "One, you pay the liquidated damages."

"Although you said that my contract is in your hands, you should know Ji Chen's character. The lawsuit will definitely be fought, and it may not be won. If there is a contract dispute, I hope you can solve the money for me. ."

Ji Yuan smoked his cigar slowly, "Yes."

Zhou Yuhe is now in the entertainment industry, and he is a hot cake, and his ability to attract money may not be comparable to the top artists in the company. What is this liquidated damages? Anyway, he can help him earn it back .

Zhou Yuhe raised two fingers, "Second, I want to take Yang Yu away, and after I leave is, I want him to continue to be my manager."

Ji Yuan frowned, Yang Yu was no better than Zhou Yuhe, the contract was signed in the hands of Mr. Ji, and the current market is dominated by fan effects. If an artist is popular, he will naturally have the resources to come to the door by himself. The current manager, His ability is more manifested in hyping artists and crisis public relations. Zhou Yuhe is so popular now that there is no need for hype and special speculation. As for public relations... He is also famous in the entertainment industry for being obedient.

To be honest, he felt that there was no need to spend so much energy to get Yang Yu out of is.

Zhou Yuhe saw the hesitation on Ji Yuan's face, smiled slightly, and said, "There is an old saying that a horse is easy to get, but a horse is hard to find, Mr. Ji..."

Ji Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Zhou Yuhe raised a third finger, "There is a third point..."

Ji Yuan suppressed the impatience in his heart, his face remained the same, but his tone had lost the kindness he had just started, "Speak."

"I want to open a personal studio."

Ji Yuan's expression softened a little, "I thought it was some great condition, of course, when you come to my new company, of course the treatment I will give you will not be the same as that of Ji Chen, let alone the studio, even if it is …”

"Hey," Zhou Yuhe interrupted him, a pair of thin and clear eyes flickered with a fine stream of light, he slightly hooked his lips, and said slyly: "Mr. Ji, don't agree so quickly."

"When I say opening a personal studio, I don't mean to set up a project in your company to do it, but literally, 'personal studio'..."

"I'm going to terminate the contract and go out alone."

There was silence for ten seconds in the high-end office on the top floor of is.

Finally came the angry roar of the president.

"Zhou Yuhe, you don't have to go too far!!!"

"Who do you think you are? Uranus superstar? Get out!" Ji Yuan tugged at his tie angrily, and the half-smoked cigar dropped directly onto the table, scattering a small piece of ash.

I thought he was a short-sighted, easy-going boy, but who would have thought that he would be deceived at the end of the day!

How dare he say it!

Cancellation? ?

You want me to pay the liquidated damages for you, settle the lawsuit with is, open the studio for you, and bring the agent out for you. In the end, you want to terminate the contract with me? !

How the hell do I look like a douchebag!

Ok? ?

President Ji held back his words.

In the end, the foul language reached his throat, and he just held back for the image of his stalwart and tall president, and sat on the boss chair and gasped angrily.
