Little newbie breaks into the entertainment industry

Those who can stay in the company are idle people with few resources. Those artists with more resources are so busy that they can’t finish their announcements. How can they stay in the company?

For example, Fang Xinran is currently recording a variety show and is not in Kyoto at all. After her agent learned that Jian Xia came to the company, he was so anxious that he left her behind and went back to the company alone.

Xu Wei happened to be filming near Kyoto. After being notified by his agent, he hurriedly abandoned the crew and ran away!

The director was so angry that he kept cursing, but there was nothing he could do. Xu Wei is very popular and has a large traffic. His acting skills are considered decent among all the traffic stars. The most important thing is that the capital specifically wanted him to play the role.

The rival actress happened to be Zhao Yunrui. As a new and popular star, she dared not say anything when facing Xu Wei, a popular young actor who has been popular for several years.

If it weren't for her financial backer helping her behind the scenes, she wouldn't have been able to get the resources to act with Xu Wei with her status.

So even though she was ignored, she still had to be patient and coax the director. But she was not a pushover. She asked her agent to secretly take a video, and when the drama was being promoted, she would use it to market herself and establish her own image!

At this moment, Jian Xiazheng and Gu Xuyang were in the office, learning about the company's key development direction and artist situation during this period.

"The biggest problem of Pansheng at present is that it does not have a big IP that can stand up. The so-called top female stars and top male stars cannot withstand investigation. Last month, the company conducted an internal self-inspection and found that almost all artists were evading taxes. All the contracts involving big contracts were signed with hidden contracts. So far, the financial department has not paid their taxes. Most of the artists are taking chances and are not actively cooperating."

Gu Xuyang didn't care whether Jian Xia could understand these things or not, he just told them all.

"This is just a matter of taxes. Once they are paid, there won't be any problem. But the most important thing is that these people's dark histories can be easily exposed. Their successors can't keep up. Now the company has dug out five or six people from the new generation and plans to focus on training them. So if you hold a fan meeting, we plan to let them show up and build momentum."

After hearing this, Jian Xia nodded in understanding. It seemed that the situation was much worse than she had imagined.

Pansheng Media can only be considered a second-rate company among all the brokerage companies. There are not many artists who really make money. This is also the reason why people like Xu Wei can call the shots in the company.

After hearing this, Jian Xia directly raised the key points: "What are the company's requirements for artists? Artists are controlled by agents. What direction do these agents take in leading artists? Where are the company's internal resources inclined? Do they match the development direction?"

Gu Xuyang was stunned! He didn't expect that the young lady could hit the nail on the head! He took out a recent planning plan and handed it to Jian Xia:

"Since taking over Pansheng, we have fired six senior staff members, but it is difficult to replace the agents because they have all the information about the artists. So now we can only adjust the artist team first, set clear goals for the development direction of the artists, and then integrate resources and allocate them reasonably based on these goals."

Jian Xia looked through his new plan. There were a total of 168 artists in Pansheng.

However, artists who meet the resource preference criteria must be third-tier artists, but there are only 29 people in the entire company who meet the third-tier and above standards.

There are only 6 second-tier artists and only two first-tier artists! And if we really have to judge according to the strict first-tier standards, these two can only be considered quasi-first-tier at best!

So Pansheng Media’s annual expenditure on these artists and work teams is at most equal to its income, and sometimes it even loses money?

"Don't sign useless artists anymore. Signing so many people is harmful to both parties and delaying each other. It is better to concentrate resources and provide targeted training. Evaluate and negotiate with the artists who have already signed contracts. Keep those who can be saved, and release those who are hopeless or don't want to stay. For artists who terminate their contracts early, no penalty will be charged after both parties reach an agreement through negotiation. Talk to each of them one by one. As for agents, the confidentiality agreement signed by artists before joining the company is not for show and will not be invalidated due to resignation."

"As for the tax evasion issue mentioned earlier, I think Pansheng should learn from Lemon and sign a cooperation agreement with the company to withhold and pay taxes on behalf of the artist. Once the yin-yang contract is discovered, the agent and the artist will each deduct 50% of their income, and those who disagree will leave."

Jian Xia stated the facts and expressed her thoughts with an expressionless face.

Gu Xuyang raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded with satisfaction. The head of the family said that if the young lady wanted to quit the circle and work behind the scenes one day, he wanted him to teach her how to operate and manage.

At present, the young lady is smarter and has more business acumen than the second young lady Gu Fei. The young lady will not use the background of the Gu family to do things or speak. As for others, she will give in and forgive others when possible. She has both reason and benefit!

"Yes, I will implement it as soon as possible according to your request." Gu Xuyang said with a smile.

Jian Xia stood up and stretched out a bit, then walked around the office. Through the glass, she saw a lot of people gathered outside.

She asked the beautiful secretary: "Who are the artists in the company? Let me meet them."

"Are you all going to come in?"

Jian Xia thought for a moment and said, "Call in those who have reached the third level!"

Soon, twelve people came in, all looking at Jian Xia and bowing to greet her. They were all very obedient: "Hello, boss."

Awen was holding a cup of Coke, sipping as she watched, with an unconcealable look of gossip on her face.

Jian Xia nodded: "Come on, let's start with you and introduce yourself."

Her voice is pleasant and her tone is gentle, but her aura is very strong, which makes people relax but not dare to neglect her.

From left to right, they introduced themselves seriously: "My name is Liu Hailong, I'm 27 years old, an actor and singer!"

"My name is Chu Yi, I'm 26 years old, an actor..."

……

Jian Xia looked at everyone who was talking seriously. After everyone had introduced themselves, she smiled and said, "My name is Jian Xia, I'm 22 years old, an actor and singer. Nice to meet you!"

Her self-introduction made everyone laugh and the atmosphere became less serious.

Jian Xia chatted with them one by one with a smile, asking one about what TV series she had acted in, another about who her good friends were in the entertainment industry, and another about whether she had a boyfriend.

It looked like they were just chatting about family matters, like good friends talking to each other, and gradually everyone relaxed.

Some people are lively and can't keep secrets. They say everything they should and shouldn't say, and even start to reveal each other's secrets while joking with each other.

"Boss, you don't know that Cheng Fei is the funny one. One time, our agent took us to a dinner party and gave us two a task: we must get the resources for that play. I couldn't let go at that time, and I couldn't drink much. She really disliked me. In order to complete the task, she directly picked up the wine glass and toasted everyone one by one!

In the end, she drank so much that she was vomiting and having diarrhea, but she still wanted to dance for the producer, hahaha~ In the end, my agent and I dragged her back by force." He said with great joy, as if this was really funny.

"Hahahaha..." The others also burst into laughter after hearing him.

Jian Xia always had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were always cold.

Awen finished her Coke very quickly, but she hadn't finished eating the melon yet. She threw the Coke cup into the trash can with a reluctant look on her face.

Jian Xia glanced at the Coke cup in the trash can and pondered for a few seconds!

As the others continued to speak, she suddenly spoke:

"Chu Yi, what is your goal for your performance?"

Wow! The smiles on everyone's faces froze for a moment, their eyes filled with regret and embarrassment, and they put away their smiles in embarrassment.

Chu Yi sat at the very edge. When others were talking, she just listened silently. When others were laughing, she also raised the corners of her mouth, but it was obvious that she didn't want to laugh.
