Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 123: Too few resources? Then don't ask for it.
I saw the two words "Da Cheng".

Cheng Xi also laughed.

Understand the meaning of these words.

This is a tacit understanding among adults.

Cheng Xi calmed down and returned to the studio from Da Ran's place.

There are still many things waiting for me to decide.

First, he had to deal with the internal affairs, thinking about when Zhang Tianai was riding a horse in the tent yesterday.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but feel angry about the fact that he was still bargaining with him.

So he pressed the landline button and said:
"Let Xiaoluo come in for a moment."

After a while, Jin Xiaoluo knocked on the door and came in, looking at the boss and said:

"Boss, you're looking for me."

Cheng Xi first looked at her indifferently, then said:

"Lock the door."

"what?"

But when Jin Xiaoluo saw the boss just staring at her motionlessly without saying a word, she couldn't help but feel startled.

He immediately turned around and locked the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I locked the door, I turned around and saw the boss standing up and walking towards me.

Jin Xiaoluo was startled again, and her back fell against the door with a thud.

After all, Cheng Xi is 1.8 meters tall, and Jin Xiaoluo is less than 1.6 meters tall.

This feeling of oppression made Jin Xiaoluo feel as if a mountain was approaching her, blocking all the sunlight.

"Old Boss"

Jin Xiaoluo looked at the boss, who locked the door and pressed forward step by step.

An incredible idea suddenly popped into her mind:
Is the boss going to push me against the wall?

impossible
So should I refuse?
The boss is handsome, but I'm not ready yet.
Just when Jin Xiaoluo, who had watched too many domineering CEOs and Japanese comics, was having all sorts of wild thoughts.

Cheng Xi spoke:

"Do you want to quit?"

"Oh no. I don't want to."

It seems to be true, the boss also threatened to resign
“But, sir, I don’t.”

"why no?"

Since Jin Xiaoluo is an innate great thunder holy body, and Cheng Xi is constantly approaching, it seems as if they are about to collide.

Jin Xiaoluo quickly mustered up the courage to say:
"I don't accept the unspoken rules."

Jin Xiaoluo didn't expect that the boss would laugh out loud after hearing this.

"Yeah, if you don't accept the unspoken rules, you can break them, right?"

"You have to understand that since you're paid by me, you should only be responsible to me, not to tell your bestie about business matters."

Only then did Jin Xiaoluo understand what the boss meant.

Does this mean that I told Zhang Tianai about the allocation of publicity resources? Did Tianai tell the boss?
She remembered that Tianai had always been afraid of the boss!

The two of them barely spoke.
How is this going.

"Boss, we had a few drinks at the picnic last night, so we complained a little bit."

"You mean drinking has delayed things? Publicizing this position is very important. Senior Sister Jin, if that's your excuse, you can find better employment elsewhere."

When Jin Xiaoluo heard this and looked at Cheng Xi's expression, she was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect that the boss, who is usually gentle and always smiling, would have such a cold expression.

It turns out that the boss doesn't eat people normally, not because he is gentle, but because his interests are not affected.

And also called her Senior Sister Jin
Of course she understood that there was a clear line of demarcation here.

So Jin Xiaoluo became really anxious and said quickly:
"Boss, I was wrong. I know I was wrong."

"I'll let you do it against the wall, don't chase me away, I like this job."

Damn, what’s going on in this Jin Xiaoluo’s head? I’ll bang your sister against the wall.

Why do people in the studio treat me like a pervert?
After Jin Xiaoluo finished speaking, she straightened up her Dalei, which made Cheng Xi feel what a genuine product was.

Cheng Xi was speechless for a moment. He used too much force and directly scared the child.

Yes, I even forgot that she is still a student like me.

As for myself, I have already been a veteran, including in my previous life.

"Xiao Luo! Be professional! We're talking about business. This will also be the case in the future. You know I take publicity work very seriously and I trust you, so I put you in charge. As a result, I'm very disappointed."

In fact, Jin Xiaoluo has always done a good job in publicity, but now is not the time to praise her. The way to control her is to slap her first and then give her candy.

When Jin Xiaoluo heard her boss say that he was disappointed in her, she almost burst into tears on the spot.

But I also noticed that the boss said there would be a future, and I suddenly felt relieved, because the boss didn't kick me out.

"Boss, I know now. It won't happen again."

"Do you want another time?"

"."

"Since you've told Tian Ai, and she's come to me for resources, then let's change the original allocation plan."

After hearing this, Jin Xiaoluo felt that the boss was not bad. Although he scolded her, he was still willing to give Tianai more resources, so the scolding was worth it.

But she didn't expect the boss's next sentence to completely confuse her.

"Cancel all the original 10% of the promotional resources. If you think it's too little, just don't ask for it. I'll see if she'll appreciate the benefits of having resources now that she doesn't have them."

"what?"

When Jin Xiaoluo heard what the boss said, she almost thought she had misheard.

"Transfer the freed-up resources to Jin Chen."

Cheng Xi recalled that Jin Chen blacked out from drinking yesterday.

What he admired about Jin Chen was that he never asked too much of him in terms of work, and he really did what he said when he signed with the studio: to do things impartially.

Most of her requests were about directing, and occasionally she would ask for some affection. He was unhappy that Tian Ai had asked him for resources yesterday.

If there are more women, and they all come to bargain with me like this, will I still be able to take care of the family?

You can hold on to what I give you; don’t fight for what I don’t give you.

Even if you have to fight, try a different approach and fight with your work attitude and professional ability.

Cheng Xi felt that he had already covered the emotional interest in himself in terms of resources, and asking for more would be foolish.

Jin Chen is very smart in this regard. His feelings change after he asks for resources.

Between the two, even though she knew the chances of love were slim, she still chose the latter.

For this reason alone, she has the right to complain about herself.

"Xiao Luo, I used to teach you how to promote. Today, the boss is giving you a workplace lesson. Don't hurt others because of your kindness. I know everything about the company. I have my own arrangements for who gets more and who gets less."

"Tell Tian Ai about this yourself. I'll teach you one more thing: you need to be flexible and learn how to achieve your goals within established rules."

"Asking for more resources is against the rules. You can find more solutions within the rules. Okay, I won't say more. Just figure it out on your own."

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, he waved his hand at Jin Xiaoluo as if he was shooing away a fly, indicating that she could leave.

As he opened the door and was about to leave, Cheng Xi stabbed him again:

"By the way, your salary this month will be cut in half."

When Jin Xiaoluo heard this, she paused and her face immediately fell.

She looked back at Cheng Xi with a crying look, and almost made Cheng Xi laugh.

If you do something wrong, there must be punishment. Tianai already has it, can you get less?
It's not that Cheng Xi is cruel, he is causing trouble for Jin Xiaoluo and Tianai over trivial matters.

One reason is that there are more and more people in the studio now, and it is important to establish rules. This time they just happened to show up, and Cheng Xi took the opportunity to give them a warning.

Let everyone see that I am not just a college student who can smile in a friendly manner.

The second is publicity and personnel, which are currently the two most important aspects of the studio, and there is a lot of room for activities.

Although finance is also important, the studio's finances are relatively transparent at present, and it is difficult to operate under the supervision of Cheng Xi and Li Wentao, and most of the work is done in accordance with regulations.

Therefore, Cheng Xi must grasp these two aspects, and then the studio's work will be on the right track.

It will be much easier to manage.

As for whether I was a little too harsh on Tian Ai.

Anyway, doesn't she want me to be a little mean to her?

Just satisfy her.

It doesn't matter if you feel sad now, she will understand later.

This is also a necessary step in her personal growth.

After settling the studio management issues, the next step is the editing, post-production and finding a TV station buyer for "The Beginning".

The first two can be done at the same time, but the latter can only be discussed after a sample is available.

The theme song issue also needs to be put on the agenda. Just like before, Cheng Xi plans to make a pilot MV.

Promote it and gather popularity.

It also tells everyone that "The Beginning" is really coming.

Cheng Xi had no impression of the opening theme song of "The Beginning".

But the ending song sung by Zhou Shen is quite classic. Thinking of this, Cheng Xi started to move.

In terms of editing, Cheng Xi contacted a professional editing master from Sohu, as well as senior brother Guo Fan.

He and Guo Fan are now familiar with each other and know that Guo Fan has his own experience in editing.

Moreover, he and I did the storyboard together, so there was no problem in having him work with the editor to slowly cut out a rough draft based on the previous storyboard.

Then you can do the fine cutting yourself.

Save yourself some energy.

Later, through my counselor, Mr. Cao Jinnan, I contacted a senior who worked at Tiangong Yicai.

Sohu also contacted a post-production company that they said was a good partner.

Cheng Xi attached his own requirements to a 10-minute video clip of "The Beginning".

Ask two companies to make a sample first, then look at their quotations and evaluate which one is more suitable.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but take it seriously, after all, the later stage of "The Beginning" was crucial.

Every explosion scene, including the moving background on the bus, had to be as realistic as possible.

Otherwise it would have become a shoddy, three-no drama.

As for the final theme song, Cheng Xi plans to compose the ending song himself first.

Since it is a TV series, it must have an opening song and background music, which is also done by a professional background music teacher.

Just follow your own requirements.

With a rough outline in mind, Cheng Xi called Li Wentao in.

Ask him to pay attention to two singers named Zhou Shen and Deng Ziqi in the near future.

There's no way. The ending song "my-only" at the beginning requires relatively professional singing skills, and the people in the studio can't sing it.

He could only sing it to others first, which made Cheng Xi feel helpless.

We should pick a better singing talent, so that we can let our own people sing difficult songs in the future.

After all, Cheng Xi's good resources will be used less and less.

The main reason why he paid attention to Deng Ziqi was because he was afraid that Zhou Shen's current level was not yet perfect.

G.E.M. was able to sing "Bubble" at such a young age, so there is no problem for her to sing "My-Only".

So get in touch with them at the same time, and it would be best if everyone can audition and sing, and then let whoever is suitable do it.

As for rejection, just kidding.

Cheng Xi was offered both money and fame, and singing did not involve any scheduling conflicts.

And given the quality of this song, I'm afraid if they knew they would all rush to sing it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi continued writing at his desk.
