Chapter 494: How can you know sweetness if you don’t know bitterness?
Hua Qing.
In the chairman's office.
Xu Xiyu, who had received 19 groups of guests in three days, lay on the single recliner sofa by the window and closed his eyes to rest.
Not long after, Jiang Yue pushed the door open with documents in her arms, walked to the side and said, "Boss Xu."
"What's the situation in the artist department?" Xu Xiyu did not open his eyes.
"It's almost a huge uproar. The news of your resignation came so suddenly that everyone was really caught off guard." Jiang Yue sighed.
"What's there to make a fuss about? Didn't I change the contract for them in advance?" Xu Xiyu couldn't help laughing.
When Xu Xiyu had her first quarrel with Hu Ningtian during filming, she arranged for Jiang Yue to make a voluntary contract change for the artist.
The specific approach is very simple. It is to reduce or cancel the quota resource allocation for artists. Since the quota resource allocation is reduced, the penalty for breach of contract is also reduced accordingly; the share of the agency business remains unchanged.
This is equivalent to the cooperation model of celebrity studios. The company reduces the pressure of resource supply. Everyone shares the meat and everyone shares the costs, such as marketing costs.
As for the artists, the cost of breach of contract is reduced, which is equivalent to loosening the constraints and giving them more autonomy.
Many entertainment companies and artists do this now, and the brokerage business is split up quite finely.
TV series announcements, movie announcements, variety show announcements, performance announcements, live broadcast announcements, etc. are all signed separately and handed over to multiple companies to be responsible for.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Xu Xiyu asked Jiang Yue to do this.
But not everyone is willing to change the contract. For example, the newcomers of Huaqing would rather rely on the guaranteed resources for a few years.
After all, not everyone can become famous on their own; they need support from a company.
In particular, the resources provided are most likely Xu Xiyu's Class A self-made projects, which makes many outside artists want to come even if they have to pay for it.
As an employee, the company must give you the salary. Only a fool would change it!
With this idea in mind, there are actually more artists who have not changed.
Only artists like Gulixiati, Li Qiyang and Wang Pengpeng who believed in Xu Xiyu wholeheartedly signed without saying a word, and even brought in a few people to set up their own studio.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue said helplessly: "What they mean is that if they want to change the contract, it would be best to sign Ivy directly, just like Xiaoyu, Luoluo (Jiang Yue's daughter) and Wanwan."
There are only three artists in Ivy at present. Yu Yuyu is needless to say, she is the first artist of Ivy. Bu Luoluo and Yang Wanwan are just there to make up the numbers. They go wherever Jiang Yue goes.
Before Xu Xiyu could answer, Jiang Yue continued, "Boss Xu, they have been following you for the past few years, whether they played the leading role or the supporting role, their lives have been very comfortable.
Now things have suddenly changed, and they can't accept it for a while. The most important thing is that they heard that the old hands in the domestic entertainment industry will take over in the future.
When I think of their way of 'men being treated like cows and women being treated like horses', I feel like the sky is falling. Mr. Xu, how about..."
Before Jiang Yue finished speaking, Xu Xiyu interrupted her directly: "No, since I have announced my resignation, it would be bad to change the contract. It would easily give others a handle.
Of course, I don’t care about this. More importantly, I don’t plan to continue signing artists. Although I feel relieved when I have artists under me, this can also easily restrict our employment.
This time we left Huaqing in order to lighten our load and develop a bigger industry. Therefore, we must use the high-quality projects at hand to attract all the outstanding talents in the domestic entertainment industry to us.
Don’t limit yourself to signing or not signing, this will hold us back. Moreover, these artists and many employees have had it too easy in the past few years.
Some people who are comfortable are beginning to feel dissatisfied. If I don’t let them go back to experience the hardships of the industry, how can they remember how good I am?”
Hearing this, Jiang Yue pursed her lips, and couldn't help but look a little confused.
She is the head of the artist department. If Xu Xiyu stops signing artists in the future, it means that she will lose this job. If we compete on ability, she cannot beat Qiao Shuangshuang.
In this case, what will be my position in Xu Xiyu's team in the future?
As she thought about it, she became dazed.
When she came to her senses, she found Xu Xiyu rubbing his temples with his hands. He probably had a headache from overworking his brain.
So, she naturally stood behind Xu Xiyu's recliner and reached out to rub his temples.
Feeling her slightly cool fingers and smelling the gardenia perfume coming from her wrist.
Xu Xiyu closed his eyes and said, "You are a conservative person, unlike Shuangshuang's pioneering personality, so you will be responsible for internal affairs in the future.
I have to take care of all the administrative and personnel matters, and I have to be especially careful to prevent any unhealthy practices. I'm worried that once I leave, D&I will be invited to Huaqing by that group of people."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yue paused rubbing his fingers and said, "How about we just bring them in? Those people are just blood-sucking worms. They only ask for rights and interests all day long and can't do anything to promote production.
Moreover, once a girl tastes the sweetness they bring, she will soon become one with them. After all, they don’t have to work hard but still have rights and benefits, anyone would be happy to do so. If things go on for a long time, Hua Qing will not be well.”
"No!" Xu Xiyu refused without hesitation, "Organizations like D&I should not appear in China. Even if we want to leave Huaqing, we should not take the initiative to bring such organizations in.
This is a cancer cell. Do you think it will only harm Huaqing? No, it will harm the entire industry. Jiang Yue, you and I are no longer the same as before. You don't have to follow Bu Zhaojie around to please people and get angry with him until you have a high fever in bed. I don't need to search for tricks to get some heat. Let's take a long-term view. "
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yue couldn't help but fall into a trance. She thought back to the days when she was with Bu Zhaojie. It was hard on the one hand, but mainly because Bu Zhaojie was indeed a bit... Tsk...
Then, she recalled the past few years following Xu Xiyu, which was truly the most comfortable time in her career.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue couldn't help but said sincerely: "Mr. Xu, thank you."
"Just a verbal thank you?" Xu Xiyu suddenly had an inspiration.
"Ah?" Jiang Yue was stunned.
"Can you please do me a favor by taking some practical action?" Xu Xiyu said as he straightened his body and stretched in the recliner. Then he waved at Jiang Yue, motioning her to stand next to him.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Jiang Yue walked from behind the recliner to the side. For some reason, she felt inexplicably panicked.
"You know, I've been at the company recently and haven't even been home. I haven't seen Mr. Ke and Qin Yao for a long time."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue's heart rate instantly accelerated.
No way?
Could it be that he wants me to help him solve that need?
Not so!
Although her status and wealth have improved in recent years and she has developed a charming temperament, she is still a level lower than Gulixiati and the others.
If he needs it, he can go... That's not right, is it because he feels more at ease using it?
If that's the case, would you like to help?
Just help!
It’s not a loss!
As Jiang Yue's mind wandered, her face started to turn red.
Then, Xu Xiyu's next words made her hand, which was originally about to tie her hair, stop instantly.
Xu Xiyu said, "Please help me pick some gifts for them. They should have a meaning. Go to the temple and find the kind...the kind. Hehe, you are an experienced person, you know!"
As Xu Xiyu spoke, he nudged her with his elbow, with an embarrassed look on his face.
Jiang Yue looked at his embarrassed face, quickly lowered her hand from the back of his head, and said in a panic: "No, Mr. Xu, you... I don't understand..."
"They said we were going to the temple to find gifts, what else could it be? You know!" Xu Xiyu said and bumped into her again.
Among the people he trusted, only Jiang Yue had a child, and Bu Luoluo was healthy, cute, and smart. It seemed that there was some saying that he could ask her to help him get some gifts from the temple that implied "bringing a child."
Anyway, it would be a bad idea for me to go there, as I would be recognized.
Jiang Yue understood now, but only half of it. She still thought it was fate.
Good guy!
Is Mr. Xu planning to get married?
With whom?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Jiang Yue no longer cared about being embarrassed, and was replaced by thoughts of enjoying the show.
Just when he was about to ask something, he heard another knock on the door. Shan Xinbao poked his head in with an unpleasant look on his face and said, "Boss, Qin Shangqi is here."
When Xu Xiyu heard that Hu Ningtian's assistant Qin Shangqi was here, he said thoughtfully: "Let her in."
"She's waiting for you in Conference Room 1."
"What are you doing in the conference room?" Xu Xiyu was a little puzzled. Qin Shangqi had a good relationship with him, so it was really strange that he was doing such a businesslike thing.
"Qi Xiangyang, Mao Gaojun, Du Yuxiong and others are here too, as well as some senior veterans in the circle." Shan Xinbao said, his expression becoming even uglier.
When Xu Xiyu heard this, he was stunned again.
But he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Are you here to force me to abdicate?"
"Forcing abdication? No way! You said you were going to resign, and they still did this? Aren't they just having nothing to do?" Jiang Yue really didn't understand.
Xu Xiyu smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I resigned, but they came here just because they don't want me to leave in a dignified manner.
They are trying to tell everyone that I didn’t resign, but was driven out by them. In other words, I fought with them for a while, but I lost and they won, do you understand? "
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yue's expression instantly became even gloomier than Shan Xinbao's.
On the contrary, Xu Xiyu didn't care much, he stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go and meet them. It's the first time I've seen those old idiots from the Damned Alliance. Let's go and see who they are.
Besides, maybe I don’t need to waste more than 20 days in Huaqing. It would be great if I could pack up and leave tomorrow.”
