The next day, Zhou Yanqing woke up early, took the subway and then transferred to the bus to reach the Twin Towers. In the car, he kept looking at the renting information on the Internet, but unfortunately he and Jiang Cheng were too far apart to rent together.
He arrived at the company half an hour earlier, and Monica had already arrived, and she was brushing her eyelashes with a small mirror. Zhou Yanqing waited for her to brush her eyelashes before walking forward, and handed over a small handful of delicately packaged purple daisies, which he bought at the flower shop downstairs.
This time, he joined Song Yu's company with "ulterior motives". If he wanted to grasp the company's internal information in a short time, he had to establish a good relationship with the company's "knowledgeable". The front desk must be such a role, and Monica is indeed a pleasant like girls.
It's actually very simple to please someone, just a handful of daisies, and a good show of affection will not burden the other party.
In the previous life in that idol drama crew, Zhou Yanqing was often scolded by the director, saying that he was too dull and would not flatter the leading actress. Zhou Yanqing always smiled coldly in his heart, he just didn't want to be flattering.
Monica took the flowers happily and looked around for the vase. She didn't keep her mouth idle: "Xiao Zhou, the company has been so busy since you came, and I'm usually so bored that I can't even hear a fart."
Zhou Yanqing took advantage of the situation and asked, "Are there not many people in our studio?"
Monica found a milky white shallow mouth vase, arranged the bouquet of small daisies, and sighed helplessly: "Ms. Song hardly appears on any shows except acting, and there is no hype and scandal. We don't even need public relations. In the company, apart from the manager, Brother Meng , only a few people from the finance department and a copywriting planner are left."
Zhou Yan nodded lightly, secretly remembering it in his heart.
At this time Monica came up and said in a very low voice: "However, our company may be transformed into a brokerage company, and it is estimated that we will recruit a large number of people in the future. Let me tell you, more than two months ago, Brother Meng and Song The teacher also had a quarrel because of this matter. I heard a few words from a distance. It seemed that Brother Meng wanted to persuade Mr. Song to sign two artists to expand the company, but Mr. Song disagreed, and then the two quarreled. "
"To be honest, it's the first time I've seen Teacher Song lose his temper. Although he usually doesn't like to talk, he has always been gentle and calm. I don't know if it's the impact of that quarrel. Teacher Song seems to be a little gloomy recently. It's cloudy."
Zhou Yan listened lightly to Monica's chatter, and focused all her attention on signing the artist. In his previous life, he checked the information of Song Yu's studio on the Internet. Two years later, Song Yu's studio had several artists besides himself, and three of them were the most famous.
One is Han Jin, 24 years old, who came from a talent show and became popular by starring in an urban idol drama. After signing into Song Yu's studio, he filmed two well-reputed TV series, and began to develop into a powerful group.
One is Gao Tong, 45 years old, a talented actor, he was the leading actor in Song Yu's first TV series, and Song Yu also mentioned in the show that Gao Tong is half of his teacher.
There is also Su Tingrui, a 25-year-old actress, one of the four young actresses in the film and television industry.
Han Jin was the first artist to sign into the studio. He signed into the studio after cooperating with Song Yu on the movie "The Road is Long". The time is about a year from now. After that, other actors have also entered work one after another. room.
Last night, Zhou Yanqing checked the information of these people again. They are still developing in their respective companies. Han Jin's idol drama is currently on the air, and he has not filmed the movie "The Road is Long" with Song Yu yet.
Gao Tong was reported by his wife for cheating and domestic violence a year ago, and his career plummeted. Although he later clarified that these were all rumors fabricated by the woman, his career did not pick up again. Now he is participating in a drama tour. And Su Tingrui, who just graduated from the Academy of Film and Television, is still playing a supporting role in the 18th line.
Zhou Yanqing was startled suddenly. In the past two days, he had been in an extremely excited state because of the interview for the position of Song Yu's assistant, so that he ignored a very important thing - he became Song Yu's assistant, What about the assistant who was supposed to show up
Zhou Yan lightly suppressed the panic in his heart, and with a hint of luck, he asked Monica calmly: "The only artist in the company is Mr. Song, so I will be Mr. Song's assistant from now on?"
Monica looked blank: "Didn't Brother Meng tell you? Teacher Song's original assistant was fired because of a mistake. This position has been vacant for several months, and he has not found a satisfactory person. Fortunately, Teacher Song has not been working recently. .”
Zhou Yanqing's expression changed. In his previous life, Song Yu's assistant was called Gao Lei, and he had followed Song Yu for two years. Calculated according to the time, Gao Lei joined the job at this time. Gao Lei and Song Yu's death are closely related, even if there is no relationship, at least one of the people who knew the inside story.
If I didn't show up, then Song Yu's work assistant should be held by Gao Lei. Now that I have replaced Gao Lei's role, what about Gao Lei? Where will he go? Will it appear again in this life
Zhou Yanqing's palms were a little sweaty, he had a reason to meet Gao Lei.
Monica saw that Zhou Yanqing's expression was not good, and thought that he was a little nervous when he just found out that he was going to be Teacher Song's assistant, so she comforted him: "Don't be nervous, Teacher Song is very nice, but he is not talkative."
Zhou Yanqing tried his best to keep his face calm. He pretended to be at a loss and said, "I was just a little surprised. During my interview, Brother Meng only said that he was an artist assistant. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Song's assistant. I was afraid that I would do it. not good."
Monica frowned and was amused by Zhou Yanqing's silly appearance: "In a few days, I will join a reserve assistant. He has been working as an assistant for a first-line actor before. He has rich experience. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him. , you can also ask me."
"Reserve assistant?" Zhou Yanqing's chest tightened.
"That's right, Brother Meng said, first recruit people to reserve personnel. That's why I told you just now that our company may transform into a brokerage company. Otherwise, why should we recruit reserve personnel?"
Monica knows everything.
Zhou Yanqing asked tentatively, "What's the name of the new assistant?"
Monica took out a resume from the drawer, checked it before answering: "It's Gao Lei, he will leave the original company after a few days, so it will take a few days before he joins the job."
Only then did Zhou Yan loosen his tightly clenched hands. Fortunately, Gao Lei was still there.
He had a guess in his heart that Gao Lei passed the interview and joined the company to become Song Yu's assistant without him appearing in the previous life. And in this life, because of his appearance, Gao Lei's role changed, and he became Song Yu's assistant. So will some important people, things, and things related to Gao Lei in the previous life be passed on to him? If this is the case, then he will be closer to the truth of Song Yu's suicide.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yanqing's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
Monica carefully handled the entry procedures for Zhou Yanqing, and showed him around the company's internal areas.
A few days ago during the interview, Zhou Yanqing only felt that the area was too big to be used as an artist’s studio. Today, after a careful visit, I found that the place is not only big but also very rich.
There are less than ten employees in the 400-square-meter flat floor. In addition to the office area, there is a gym, lounge, styling room, and an exquisite small coffee shop.
The overall wall is light gray blue, with furniture such as milky white solid wood tables, chairs and cabinets, which is low-key but luxurious.
After walking around, Monica took Zhou Yanqing to an office in the corner, opened the door and said, "Xiao Zhou, this will be your office from now on, and the inside is Mr. Song's office. Yesterday I asked the cleaning lady to clean it again." If you have any other needs, you can tell me, and I will help you purchase, but the frequency of use here is not high."
Zhou Yan nodded lightly. Actors usually stay in the film and television base for several months in a row, and this office is indeed not used very frequently. He thanked him sincerely, and Monica gave some instructions on Song Yu's living habits before returning to her job.
After Monica left, Zhou Yanqing turned her head and glanced at the office she had a clear view of. A walnut wood desk with a laptop on it, and a matching bookcase behind the desk, symbolically placed foreign masterpieces for basic decoration and a pot of green plants, and nothing else.
That pot of green plants was temporarily purchased by Monica yesterday, and Zhou Yanqing just saw the purchase list on the table at the front desk.
The desk was directly facing the milky white solid wood door of Song Yu's office. Zhou Yanqing approached and raised his hand, his slender five fingers were hanging on the handle. After a while, he put his hand back to his side and walked towards him desk. He took out his notebook from his backpack, found Gao Lei's name, and wrote a line beside it with a red signature pen, "Joined in October two years ago".
Zhou Yanqing glanced at the public office area outside through the blinds, and there was no one except the cold desk.
Song Yu Studio was established two years ago, that is, when he was 28 years old and just won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Huagui Film Festival in the Mainland for his film "Clone".
"Clone" is Song Yu's debut film. Before that, he has been working hard in the TV drama circle and won two "Best Actor" awards. He has already achieved outstanding results in the TV drama circle. Song Yu became well-known in the movie circle after "Clone" won the award. In the next two years, he did not continue to shoot TV dramas but entered the movie industry. He shot two movies with good reputation and box office, but did not win any awards.
What really made Song Yu firmly rooted in the film industry is the movie "The Road is Long". "The Road" will win two heavyweight awards at the end of next year, the Huagui Award and the Golden Deer Award for Best Actor. Zhou Yanqing couldn't remember the exact start time of this movie. He calculated the time a little, and it should be next month.
It is obviously unwise to sign an artist at the rising stage of one's career and use the resources of the studio to support other artists. Moreover, Song Yu has been active in the film and television industry since the establishment of the studio, and later became the youngest Grand Slam actor. Obviously, he has no idea of running the company behind the scenes, at least he did not have such an idea in the early days of the studio.
From what Monica said just now, it can be known that Song Yu is not very interested in the company's transformation at present, and even had a dispute with her manager Meng Shiping. So Song Yu's original intention of setting up a studio must be to serve himself, but is it really necessary for a celebrity studio to rent such a large office building? After that, why did you change your mind about signing artists? Is it because you were persuaded by Meng Shiping
Zhou Yan lightly poked the notebook with the tip of a pen, and temporarily recorded his doubts.
Monica had just entered Zhou Yanqing's entry information, when she looked up, she saw two tall and straight figures pushing the door open with steady steps.
"Good morning, Mr. Song! Good morning, Brother Meng!" Monica got up and said hello.
Song Yu nodded, and Meng Shiping responded with a slight smile.
Monica breathed a sigh of relief when the two disappeared around the corner. Since Mr. Song had a fever two months ago and rested at home for two days before returning to the company, she seemed to be a different person. Unexplainable melancholy, and she became less talkative, so that she didn't dare to say hello to Teacher Song in the past two months.
Song Yu stopped walking through the corridor, glanced at the empty public office area, and said softly: "It's too empty."
The people in front stopped suddenly and Meng Shiping almost ran into him head-on. He was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of Song Yu's words, and replied with a smile, "Then let's fill it up as soon as possible."
Song Yu's mouth twitched into an inexplicable smile.
Meng Shiping and him were classmates in the university, and they had a good relationship. Meng Shiping stayed in the showbiz for two years without making any splashes, and only played small supporting roles. At that time, Song Yu was already well-known, so he asked him if he would like to be his manager behind the scenes, and Meng Shiping readily accepted.
Under Song Yu's recommendation, Meng Shiping also joined his own company and became well-known in the circle. Besides Song Yu, he also brought out a well-known actress.
Two years ago, Song Yu's contract with the agency expired, and he had the idea of starting his own independent studio. Meng Shiping resolutely terminated the contract with the company to follow Song Yu.
In order to thank Meng Shiping, Song Yu donated 20% of the company's shares to Meng Shiping without any capital contribution, and let him participate in the operation. The two are not only friends and colleagues, but also partners. At the beginning of the establishment of the studio, Meng Shiping took care of all affairs, including the location of the office.
When Song Yu entered the Twin Towers for the first time, he also questioned whether a personal studio needs such a large office space? Song Yu couldn't remember how Meng Shiping answered at that time. The rental fee was not a burden for them, so he didn't ask or object at that time. He only thought that Meng Shiping wanted a better working environment.
After being reborn, Song Yu understood that the reason why Meng Shiping rented such a large office space was because he planned to transform the studio into a brokerage company by signing other artists from the very beginning, and he had ambitions from the very beginning.
In the previous life, Song Yu’s life was focused on acting, and he had several disputes with Meng Shiping but did not compromise. In the end, he was relieved because of Han Jin’s appearance, and agreed to Meng Shiping’s idea of signing an artist. actors.
Now, from the perspective of God, Song Yu realized that perhaps Meng Shiping had changed since the time when the two had differences. So, was it Meng Shiping who arranged Han Jin by his side early in the morning to satisfy his own expansion ambitions
If Meng Shiping's ambition was fulfilled in this life ahead of time, what would happen
