The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Chapter 111 Graduation Thesis

On December 8th, Wu Hao took Xiaoyue to a meeting.

Those attending the meeting were directors and important managers from various departments. Xiaoyue only recognized many of them by face but could not remember their names at all.

However, Xiaoyue saw Ma Teng, Zhang Feng and others who had returned from their trip.

Xiaoyue looked at the main seat and had no choice but to sit down.

Sitting behind her were two assistants, Jiang Pingsheng and Ma Li, making for a grand occasion.

Xiao Yue glanced at the more than 20 pairs of eyes below and felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wu Hao began to report on the cinema chain.

"At present, we have received movie viewing requests from more than a dozen theaters of all sizes, and almost all of them have expressed their intention to cooperate with our Yue Xiang Entertainment. We have decided to hold a movie viewing at the Dadi Cinema on the 9th, that is, tomorrow morning, and invite all the theaters that want to cooperate to be present. At 8 a.m. on the 10th, our Yue Xiang Entertainment official blog will release a plot trailer. The premiere will be held at the Dadi Cinema at 9 a.m. on the 15th."

After Wu Hao finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoyue.

Xiao Yue looked confused and asked, "What are you looking at me doing?" and motioned Wu Hao to continue.

Wu Hao had no choice but to continue: "We looked at the cooperation contracts of various theaters, and the profit sharing is basically the same as our last movie "Phone Booth", 7%. I think the theaters are asking for too much, 6% is about right."

"Five percent, we will draft the cooperation contract ourselves, and leave this matter to you, Jiang Pingsheng, how about that?"

Xiao Yue looked at Jiang Pingsheng after she finished speaking, and Jiang Pingsheng quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mr. Cheng."

Wu Hao scratched his head, worried that the cooperation would fail, so he said: "Boss Cheng, it seems that only an official movie made a few years ago has a 5% profit contract. Is what we give too little?"

“Are our films underfunded or not well-made?”

Although Xiaoyue seems to ignore the company's management, she has rich social experience and is qualified to propose such a contract for such a big-budget movie.

"That's not it."

"You've already seen the finished film, so be more confident. The theaters will be willing to sign after they've seen it. Who can resist money?"

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, the senior executives present witnessed for the first time how powerful President Cheng was.

Especially Ma Li, she always felt that President Cheng was not good at managing the company. Now it seems that she was wrong, President Cheng just didn't want to manage it.

After the meeting, Xiaoyue went to Tianyu and went directly to the 18th floor to find Liu Zhonglei and talked about the follow-up plans for "Avatar".

When Liu Zhonglei heard about the contract that only gave the theaters 5%, he laughed and said, "You may become the first person other than the official to get such a low commission for the theaters. However, I believe in your ability. Phone Booth is your confidence, and Avatar will be your signature."

"Sure enough, Uncle Liu still understands me."

"Hahaha, Xiaoyue, don't worry, Tianyu will fully cooperate with your plan."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

When Xiaoyue walked from the 18th floor, she was holding a gift box in her hand.

"Did you see that? Yue Shen took something away from the president again."

"The president really treats Yue Shen better than his own daughter."

"Is that rumor true?"

"Shh..., you don't want to live anymore, you dare to say anything."

In short, when Xiaoyue arrived at the sixth floor, her colleagues from the third department all looked at her with complicated eyes.

Xiaoyue was confused. He hadn't come for just a few days. Could something have happened?

Chen Xiaofan shamelessly followed Xiaoyue into her office.

Xiao Yue looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to see what you're talking about, I want to learn a little more."

Chen Xiaofan smiled in a frivolous way, his eyes fixed on the gift box in Xiaoyue's hand. You know, the last time he was here, he was shocked by Xiaoyue's set of teacups, so it was an experience anyway.

Xiaoyue smiled. Actually, she didn’t know what it was, but it was quite heavy.

Put the gift box on the coffee table, and then Xiaoyue began to open the gift box. Chen Xiaofan knelt on the ground and took a closer look.

"Wouldn't it be different if you sat there?"

Xiaoyue really couldn’t understand his kneeling posture. Wasn’t he tired?

Chen Xiaofan shook his head and said, "You don't understand."

Chen Xiaofan thought, I'm afraid I'll fall. If I accidentally touch the treasure, I won't be able to afford the compensation even if I sell it! It's still safer this way.

After removing the outer packaging, there was a very exquisite box inside, with a brand logo on it, but Xiaoyue didn’t recognize it.

Chen Xiaofan almost knelt down when he saw the LOGO. No, he was kneeling.

That is the most expensive microphone brand in China. I heard that the cheapest one costs more than one million, and most of them are exclusively customized.

Xiaoyue opened the box and saw that it was actually a silver microphone, but it was inlaid with gems of various colors, which looked extremely gorgeous.

Chen Xiaofan was stunned. If he guessed correctly, this microphone seemed to be a new model launched by this brand last month. It cost more than 30 million yuan and was currently the most expensive microphone in China.

Xiaoyue took out the microphone and weighed it. It was a bit heavy, but still easy to use.

Looking at the gorgeous inlaid gems, it seems a bit redundant.

"Just make do with what you have!"

Xiaoyue put it back into the box and repacked it.

Chen Xiaofan sighed and said, "This is currently the best microphone in China."

"Oh."

Xiaoyue had seen many microphones customized for celebrities in her previous life, and there were rules about not being allowed to get them stained with lipstick or saliva, so she found it funny.

Since you bought it, isn't it for use? Why bother with the formalities?

After Chen Xiaofan finished reading, seeing that Xiaoyue didn't seem to care, he sighed and left Xiaoyue's office.

When other colleagues saw him coming out of Xiaoyue’s office, they gathered around him and asked him what he had seen.

Chen Xiaofan recounted what he saw, and finally said: "I swear, I am definitely not mistaken, it is the new model from last month, the most expensive one."

"The president is so good to Xiaoyue!"

"That's right, let's all go!"

My colleagues were nothing but envious, but not jealous. After all, talent really determines everything.

Xiaoyue tidied up the office, carried the gift box and a few boxes of tea back to Yuexiang Entertainment, as she still had to record "Childhood" later.

The recording studio is located on the tenth floor, with two rooms in total. Yuexiang currently has no singer, so it was built purely for Xiaoyue, the president.

When Xiaoyue arrived, Chen Feng was still in the recording studio, apparently checking the equipment.

"Is it not debugged yet?"

Chen Feng saw that it was Xiaoyue and said with a smile: "It's fine now. I'm checking it to make sure there are no problems that I haven't discovered before."

Xiaoyue is very satisfied with Chen Feng's attitude towards work, but she will adjust it herself.

"I'll do it myself. The recording studio I often use in Tianyu was debugged by myself."

Chen Feng didn't expect that Ms. Cheng could do this, but then he thought that she was an arranger and recorded songs frequently, so it would be normal.

"Okay, if there's a problem you can't solve, call me."

After Chen Feng left, Xiaoyue locked the door of the recording studio and began to debug the equipment.

It is true that you get what you pay for. This expensive recording equipment is really useful.

Now that there is no one around, Xiaoyue can record "Childhood" with peace of mind.

The recording went very smoothly and was completed in two takes.

Xiaoyue sent the recorded song and her graduation thesis to teacher Chen Lin, hoping that she would not be the last student to submit her thesis.

At this moment, in the dormitory of the Music University, Wang Xiaonan was still typing on the computer, and her thesis was not finished yet.

"Xiao Nan, how much have you finished?"

Chen Xiaomeng had just finished writing and looked relaxed.

"Big sister, please wait for me for a while, ten minutes is ten minutes, we agreed to advance and retreat together."

Wang Manman looked at Wang Xiaonan and said, "I don't know what you were thinking about before. Look at me. I directly chose Cheng Xingyue's song. There are interpretations everywhere on the Internet. I just pieced it together and wrote it."

"Okay, don't talk about her anymore, let her hurry up."

"By the way, Cheng Xingyue should have submitted her graduation thesis, right?"

"I don't know. She was busy filming a movie before, so I didn't feel like disturbing her."

"Oh, yeah. I watched the trailer for Avatar. It's really well made. It will be screened during the Spring Festival in seven days. She must be very busy."

Wang Xiaonan was doing two things at once. When she heard their conversation, she interrupted and said, "Cheng Xingyue also promised us to go to the premiere!"

"Just write your paper! Do you think anyone can attend the premiere? They are all big shots, so we shouldn't go and cause trouble. When you meet Xiaoyue at the paper defense the day after tomorrow, you are not allowed to mention this matter."

Wang Xiaonan replied impatiently: "I know, I know."

Chen Xiaomeng sighed and said, "I received the admission notice from Xinghui yesterday, but I don't want to go. I also want to join Tianyu."

Wang Manman said: "It's good enough that a company wants us, don't be picky. Look at me, I won't go to those big and good entertainment companies. I heard that the water is very deep, and with my temper, I will definitely be cheated to death if I go there."

"You make sense. Then I should find another small company?"

"Hey, have you forgotten that Cheng Xingyue seems to have just set up a company? Why don't we go and ask her if she needs anyone?" Wang Xiaonan interrupted again. It seemed that the thesis had been completed.

Chen Xiaomeng said awkwardly: "I'm a little embarrassed to ask this question. After all, we don't have much work experience!"

"You dare not ask, but I dare to ask. Cheng Xingyue is easier to talk to than you think."

Wang Xiaonan felt that she had not misjudged the person. Although she seemed aloof, she also understood the ways of the world and would invite them to have dinner together every time she came to school!

"Then it's up to you!"

Wang Manman and Chen Xiaomeng bowed to Wang Xiaonan together.

The three of them burst into laughter again, leaving all their previous troubles aside.

Teacher Chen Lin is very busy now, collecting papers and saving audio files.

These students are reluctant to hand in their papers until the last minute. They all rush to hand them in before the deadline. It doesn't matter whether they hand them in early or late.

"Hey, Cheng Xingyue also submitted her paper so late?"

Teacher Chen Lin paused her mouse, stopped saving, and clicked on the audio to listen to it.

"On the banyan tree by the pond

Cicadas are calling summer loudly

On the swing next to the playground

Only butterflies rest on it

Teacher's chalk on blackboard

I'm still chattering away and writing non-stop

Waiting for the end of get out of class Waiting for the end of school

There is everything in the welfare club

I just don’t have half a dime in my pocket
