The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 12 Let's Try You
In fact, Xu Xing asked Yu Murong why he chose Liu Cheng to be his agent.

According to Yu Murong, she initially wanted to find the top agent Li Xing, who joined Wanda Films two years ago and is currently a senior executive, to bring Xu Xing along, but she failed to convince him.

——Li Xing is now thinking about her own Hesong and has no intention of working for others. This is the case now. With the support of countless capitals pouring into the circle, famous artists and well-known agents, or executives of film and television companies and entertainment institutions, are all thinking about starting their own companies and jumping up to capital.

Many of the brokerage companies and TV drama factories that later pushed a bunch of traffic actors to the forefront to participate in the Ancient Utopia 101 competition were established in the years when the traffic era began, including Hesong, Dongshen Future, Sun Chuanhe, Kaiyue, Huanyue, Lemon, Yaoke, Liubai... and many people's favorite Jiaxing Tianxia.

This was also another reason why Xu Xing jumped for two months before. He thought that if someone had a keen vision and invited him to join in the great cause, he would also be "following the dragon".

Unfortunately, I really thought too much.

The most reliable one is my cousin.

Liu Cheng was introduced to Yu Murong by Li Xing, who said he was her fellow villager, reliable, and capable, and she originally wanted to recruit him to her own company.

But since Yu Murong asked her for help, she declined Yu Murong's request and introduced Liu Cheng to her as a favor.

In other words, Liu Cheng is endorsed by Li Xing.

Yu Murong talked to him and felt that it could indeed be used.

That is why Xu Xing pretended to be cool yesterday. His purpose was to make Liu Cheng, who had just transformed into an agent, familiar with his rhythm as soon as possible and realize that in the era of traffic, there are actually not too many coincidences in the public opinion field, and the means that can be used are extremely rich.

Want to continue to maintain the active position in front of Liu Cheng.

Now this Chen Qian... Actually, Liu Cheng brought her here early this morning. Calculating the time, it shouldn't be a matter of pretending to be cool yesterday.

In other words, Liu Cheng had decided beforehand to let her be his assistant.

In fact, if Liu Cheng is asked to find an assistant, the assistant who comes will naturally be Liu Cheng's man.

Liu Cheng asked this person to come here, probably to find out some things that Xu Xing would not tell him, and to test Xu Xing's character in a subtle way.

If something really happened between Xu Xing and Chen Qian, as someone close to a star, she could also avoid outside troubles.

The trial period should be from six months to one year.

Because even though Xu Xing released her debut song yesterday, she currently has no plans to be interviewed or appear on TV shows or anything like that.

That is to say, from now until December when she joins the crew to shoot "My Girlhood", then to the final shoot, and then to the possibility of continuing to join the crew of "Detective Chinatown", during this period Xu Xing herself will not be exposed to the public, so the assistants around Xu Xing will not be noticed by the outside world.

When the movie is released and Xu Xing officially starts to appear in front of the screen, she will probably end her assistant career.

This is the method some agents use to manage artists, and Xu Xing knew it very well in his previous life.

But now, Liu Cheng, the agent, actually works for Xu Xing, instead of controlling the cash cow for the capitalists. Xu Xing and Yu Murong are the capitalists.

Just now, Xu Xing was just a little surprised that this assistant was Chen Qian.

but……

What if Liu Cheng really has some "despicable" intentions?

"Arrived at the airport?"

Xu Xing called Liu Cheng.

"How could the car be going so fast? I just came out of your house. What happened?"

Liu Cheng asked.

"I asked Chen Qian about this. She just graduated not long ago. I don't think she would be suitable to be an assistant."

Xu Xing asked tentatively.

"Uh... you don't think so?"

Liu Cheng's tone was somewhat unexpected.

"It doesn't seem to work."

Xu Xing sighed.

There was silence on the phone for a moment.

...Is there really something fishy about Liu Cheng?

As soon as the thought came to Xu Xing's mind, he heard Liu Cheng on the opposite side sighing slightly.

"Then I'll go talk to Mr. Yu and ask him to find you a new assistant."

"Did she choose this assistant?"

"Yes, I prepared three candidates, and she chose Chen Qian in the end."

"She also knows about Chen Qian's situation?"

"Of course. After I introduced all their information, Mr. Yu finally decided on the person."

"Uh, okay, then let's stay and try it first."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing couldn't help scratching his head. The one testing him was Yu Murong...

She had indeed asked Xu Xing a few times before whether she was in a relationship.

Return to the living room.

Chen Qian was still standing there awkwardly. Seeing Xu Xing looking at her thoughtfully, she forced a smile.

To be honest, she played Zhao Min pretty well in her previous life. That role helped her gain popularity and qualified her to star in a few failed ancient costume dramas.

It is also possible to let her stay in the studio and let her play Zhao Min after the new version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is launched, so that she can help the studio make money for a few years.

Xu Xing nodded as he thought about it.

Chen Qian felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't help tugging at her sleeves with her fingers.

Suddenly, Xu Xing spoke.

"I remember you."

It was like the old-fashioned and clumsy way of chatting up a strange woman.

"..."

The first thing that appeared in Chen Qian's eyes was panic, and then she quickly lowered her head.

"Aren't you a bit player in Hengdian? Why did you give up your dream of becoming an actor and become an assistant?"

Xu Xing forced himself to smile in a more elegant and easy-going manner.

"..."

Chen Qian's body suddenly stiffened and she clenched her fists.

She knew what she should say, but she didn't know how to say it.

For a graduate of a performance major from a private college in Sichuan University that no one has ever heard of, it is extremely difficult to break into the entertainment industry and become an actor.

It's already 21 years into the 14st century, and being a minor actor on a film set and then getting lucky and seizing an opportunity to climb up is now just a fairy tale that we imagine when making chicken soup.

"Liu Cheng asked you to be my assistant for a while, and then I'll help you introduce roles?"

There was a hint of innocence in Xu Xing's curious voice.

This is when the skills you’ve practiced for reciting lines will be used.

"..."

Chen Qian, who continued to remain silent, finally nodded.

"But he didn't expect that I had seen you before. Your undercover career is over just as it began."

Xu Xing made a joke.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Qian, who had her head lowered, could no longer hold back her tears.

"Uh, why are you crying?"

Xu Xing considerately handed her the tissue.

She didn't answer, nor did she raise her head, but quickly squeezed out a few words in a crying voice.

"Sorry, I have to go now."

As he said that, he turned around and left.

"No, why are you leaving?" Xu Xing stopped her immediately. "Just now I felt that I had some impression of you, so I called him to ask what was going on. He originally wanted to replace you, but I didn't let him. What kind of opportunities can you get as a minor actor on the set?

"Don't worry, I'll ask him to introduce you to roles in the future. Then you can change your stage name and no one will know that you have been my assistant. I respect people who persist in pursuing their dreams."

Xu Xing said this in a serious tone.

Chen Qian finally took the tissue and wiped away her tears.

Then he raised his head, his wet eyes trembling with tears.

"Thank you."

She spoke quietly.

"You're welcome."

Ah!
In this way, her current job was given to her by Xu Xing.

Xu Xing also introduced the future role.
