The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

"Can I speak for a moment?" a voice said weakly.

When everyone looked over, they found that it was Yang Qi, the head of the Equipment Department who seldom spoke and had little presence, especially when it came to business issues of the company, he had never said a word.

Liu Zhonglei was deeply impressed by him. Some time ago, he had applied to the President's Office to replace the No. 4 recording studio with better equipment for Yue Recording. At that time, he approved it decisively.

"Yang Qi, just say what you want to say." Liu Zhonglei gestured with a smile.

Yang Qi said embarrassedly: "Actually, my niece works at the novel website. She is also the assistant of Lao Xing, the head of the martial arts section. Because I also like Lou Lao Mo's books, she once mentioned it to me and said that it was she who contacted Lou Lao Mo for the first time. She said that Lou Lao Mo is not an old man at all, but a girl."

"What? It's a girl?" Shao Hui was shocked and almost fell off his chair with excitement.

"She is really a girl, and her voice is very nice. And when Lao Xing met her, he booked a table at a tea restaurant near Tianyu." Yang Qi said affirmatively.

"So, Lou Zhongyue is actually from Beijing and is very close to our Tianyu?" Shao Hui speculated excitedly.

"That should be the case. My niece told me the news and asked me to keep it confidential and not tell anyone, so I was just considering whether to tell anyone..." Yang Qi felt that he was guilty towards Old Demon Lou. He would not have told anyone if he hadn't seen that everyone in the company was worried about contacting Old Demon Lou.

Seeing Yang Qi's guilty look, Liu Zhonglei comforted her, "Yang Qi, thank you for your contribution to the company. If you can contact Lou Zhongyue this time, your salary will be doubled. In addition, the equipment procurement from the film and television department will also be allocated to you. Zhou Lei, you won't object, right?"

Zhou Lei laughed and said, "Of course. If we can buy Lou Zhongyue's version, Minister Yang will be the first to do the work. Of course, there will be no problem."

Yang Qi suddenly felt less guilty towards Lou Lao Mo. Selling Lou Zhongyue's novel to Tianyu would definitely be better than selling it to other companies, and they would definitely treat it well.

"Then I'll go back and ask my niece to talk to Old Xing and see what Lou Zhongyue thinks." Yang Qi felt that since Mr. Liu had said so many benefits to her, she had to make this happen no matter what.

"Okay, let Yang Qi handle this matter first. Zhou Lei, you will cooperate with him at any time."

"Hey, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with Minister Yang and will not let Lou Zhongyue down, and I will get this matter done beautifully." Zhou Lei was so happy that such a big problem was solved.

"Then let me talk about one last thing. Game Animation Development Department, how is the progress of the online game you are developing?" Liu Zhonglei looked at Han Jingshen, the youngest director of Tianyu.

Han Jingshen said: "The stand-alone game we developed earlier, Block Puzzle, has been launched, and the download volume is very good. It is currently ranked first among stand-alone games. We are currently developing a role-playing game. However, we have discussed and would like to use the story of The Deer and the Cauldron, but it has been shelved because we couldn't contact Lou Zhongyue. There is also a card game, which is almost completed, but I heard that Xinghui has also developed a similar game. Now it depends on who can seize the opportunity to release it first and occupy the market first."

"Just develop the role-playing game according to The Deer and the Cauldron. Don't worry, the copyright will be 100% yours. You must hurry up with the card game and release it before Xinghui." Liu Zhonglei pondered for a moment and said seriously.

"Yes, Mr. Liu."

"If everyone has nothing to do, let's adjourn the meeting." Liu Zhonglei looked around and said.

"Wait, I have something to say."

When everyone looked, it turned out to be Tang Qi, the head of the Artist Department. Wow, the company's "Double Qi" both showed up today.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Liu Zhonglei was a little confused. Tang Qi should be the most proud person in Tianyu. So many artists are about to debut, so what else could be the matter?

Tang Qi said embarrassedly: "Boss Liu, during the group interview this time, Cheng Xingyue showed off her strong dancing skills. The Freeze move I asked her to perform can only be done by top dancers, so, can she come to our artist department?"

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible." Wang Mingda said. The arrangement department finally had such a talent, so how could they let him go?

"Minister Wang, Cheng Xingyue can't bring out her talent in your arrangement department. Look at her good looks and good dancing skills. Who knows, she might become a top dancer in China in the future."

"You have seen her dancing talent, but you should know that her musical talent is even better. For two consecutive months, her songs have topped the New Artist Chart. Three more songs will be included in the June New Artist Chart. Have you heard her songs? These three songs are even more amazing than the previous ones."

"I can testify to this. This time, Cheng Xingyue's three new songs are truly the best three of the nine songs participating in the June Newcomer Chart." Dong Chunhui interrupted, because he was the one who reviewed the songs and he particularly appreciated Xiaoyue's musical talent.

Just as a few people were about to quarrel over someone, Liu Zhonglei spoke up.

"Xiaoyue doesn't want to be in the spotlight. She won't agree to dance if asked to."

Tang Qi was helpless, and Wang Mingda showed the joy of victory.

"Okay, let's talk about another thing. Do the singers and dancers in our artist department have a way out now, but what about the actors? Can the company consider these artists first when planning to shoot new dramas?" Tang Qi continued.

He also worries a lot about the artists in the artist department. Recently, many actors have come to him to complain, saying that the company only focuses on the development of singing and dancing artists, and whether the company can give them more opportunities.

"Aren't the actors from Tianyu used in the dramas our company is shooting recently?" Liu Zhonglei really didn't pay attention to which actors were used, and looked at Zhou Lei, the director of the film and television department.

Zhou Lei said awkwardly: "Not all actors from Tianyu were used, but artists were selected through auditions."

"In the future, we should select from Tianyu's actors first, and then consider other actors. Also, with so many people in your film and television department, can't you consider shooting some low-budget dramas to give our Tianyu actors some training?"

“Well, how much investment is considered low-cost?” Zhou Lei is actually interested in low-cost dramas, but unfortunately Tianyu is a big company, so every time it makes a move, it produces a big drama.

Nowadays, all entertainment companies are very competitive in making big dramas, and each actor either competes with his ability or his status, so he gave up the idea of ​​making low-budget dramas.

"Less than 20 million. I remember you recruited a few new directing students from Kyoto Film and Television University? Let them practice shooting low-budget dramas, and the actors must be from Tianyu." Liu Zhonglei said.

"Okay." Zhou Lei was worrying about how to arrange the new directors. Now that President Liu has spoken, his problem has been solved.

Tang Qi finally smiled. She had accomplished one of the two tasks, which was already pretty good. It was a pity for that girl Cheng Xingyue. It was just that she was too outstanding.

"Meeting dismissed."

Tianyu started running like a huge machine.

Yang Qi walked out of the meeting room and immediately called her niece.

"Nana, it's me, your uncle. Can you give me Lao Xing's phone number?"

"What for? We at Tianyu want to buy the copyright of Lou Zhongyue's book and film and television works. We can only ask him for help..."

"Good boy, just think of it as helping your uncle. After the job is done, your uncle will buy you your favorite bag, okay?"

"Oh, okay, thank you Nana, don't worry, uncle won't forget it."

Yang Qi hung up the phone happily, and when he turned around, he found Zhou Lei looking at him with a sly smile on his face.

"Old Yang, you seem to be so honest and simple, but it turns out you are really good at coaxing girls."

"Tsk, shut up! How about I stop asking about this matter of Lord Lou?"

"Hey, hey, come on. We've been friends for a long time, how come you can't joke around?" Zhou Lei quickly grabbed Yang Qi and apologized.

"Okay, Nana will send me Lao Xing's contact information later. Shall we talk to him?"

"Okay, Lao Yang is reliable in doing things."

The two men were arm in arm, looking like good brothers.

After the meeting, Xiaoyue started to write songs for Liu Wenjie. This time she chose Lao Lang's "Want to Sing Me to You" and Wang Feng's "Life in Bloom", one is gentler and the other is more explosive. Who knows, she might be able to get a good position on the charts in July.

In the afternoon, Liu Wenjie came over and started blushing when he saw Xiaoyue.

"Did you drink at noon?" Xiao Yue gave the music score to Liu Wenjie, and seeing that his handsome face was as red as a monkey's butt, she asked curiously.

"No, absolutely not. I'm a good man and I don't smoke or drink." Liu Wenjie quickly defended himself and labeled himself as a good man.

Xiaoyue rolled her eyes beautifully.

As expected, a man’s mouth is a lie. He has opened so many bars, but he still doesn’t drink?

"Take good care of your voice and go back and work on these two songs with your band. I'll only give you half a day to record." Xiaoyue continued to work on the computer.

"Oh, I see." Seeing that Xiaoyue no longer paid attention to him, Liu Wenjie could only leave obediently.
