Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 115 Wang Ou: Mr. Yan, please give me a try

Yi'an Film and Television
Having not been to the company for over a month, Yan Li felt that there seemed to be a lot more people around.

On the one hand, the company is operating multiple projects and is constantly recruiting people. On the other hand, many staff members from the crew of "The Seven Fairies" are also working in the company. The originally empty 300-square-meter studio is now a bit crowded.

"Mr. Yan."

"Hi boss."

"..."

As soon as Yan Li entered the room, employees and crew members greeted him all the way from the front desk to the office.

Yan Li had experienced this many times before, and although he felt that this time there were so many people and the scene was so grand, and he felt particularly happy when he was called out, he still managed to remain calm and nodded slightly or raised his hand to signal.

Wang Ou, who was following behind him, saw Yan Li greet everyone in the company after entering the room, and his eyes lit up.

Yan Li, who already had a good image and temperament, looked particularly high-spirited and heroic at this moment.

"Xiao Hu, this is Wang Ou. Take care of him first, then bring the company's documents for this period and inform Vice President Yue and Director Xiao. Also, tell the finance and HR staff not to go out this afternoon. I'll be in touch with them anytime."

"it is good."

Secretary Hu Ya opened the door for Yan Li, then made tea, packed up the documents, and carefully left the office.

Wang Ou had been waiting at her desk. Hu Ya opened her drawer and asked, "What would you like to drink? Tea, coffee, or a soft drink?"

"Don't bother, just plain water will do."

Hu Ya poured her a glass of water and looked at Wang Ou with her round face in her hand: "Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before? Are you an actor?"

"Well, I guess so. But I haven't done many movies before. I auditioned for 'The Seven Fairies' before."

"Oh, I remembered."

Hu Ya slapped her head. She had also gone to help when the crew was interviewing before and had met Wang Ou.

The other person was tall and had a more recognizable appearance, so she had an impression of him and felt that he looked familiar.

"Why are you following the boss? Are you going to sign with our company? Didn't you say you won't be doing artist management for the time being?"

Wang Ou was a little curious: "Why don't you become an artist manager? I see your company is quite large."

This was not Wang Ou's flattery. It was true that she had not been to many film and television companies, and Yi'an was considered to be more prestigious, so she wanted to sign with this company before.

Unexpectedly, this company doesn’t want to sign artists?
"The boss thinks artists are troublesome and not very profitable, so he plans to put them aside for now. The company will focus on investing in production and distribution, and will consider artist management when he has more time."

Artist management is not unprofitable, but it is indeed less profitable than film and television production.

However, film and television production may result in losses, but it is different for artists. If you have a famous artist, you can make money continuously.

Moreover, artist brokerage can complement film and television production and maximize the benefits of the resources at hand, so many film and television companies will consider artist brokerage business.

Yan Li has no intention of giving up artist management, but he feels that his resources are limited and there are no suitable people, so he is not considering it for the time being.

Once the company has accumulated enough personal connections and has more projects on hand, many artists will want to join the company.

Of course, there is another small reason that is not known to outsiders, that is, Yan Li is afraid that once the company signs someone, Dong Xuan and Qin Lan will both want to come to Yi'an, which may cause trouble in the backyard.

Wang Ou didn't know the inside story, and when he heard that Yi An would not sign any artists for the time being, his heart sank instantly.

However, when she turned around, she thought of Yan Li again.

Whether the company signs an artist or not is still up to the boss. Similarly, if Yan Li is willing to support her, it doesn’t matter whether she signs with the company or not.

Wang Ou waited patiently, thinking that Yan Li would be over soon.

As a result, Yan Li seemed to have forgotten her and kept working. Several people came in and out of the office, but he never came out. It was not until it got dark and many employees had left work that Hu Ya knocked on the door to remind him.

"this late?"

Yan Li's office was dark, so he kept the lights on. He was concentrating on his work and didn't pay attention to the time. He didn't expect it to be dark already.

"Sorry, it's been a long wait."

Yan Li apologized slightly, and Wang Ou said it was no problem. He also complimented him, "You work so hard, no wonder you are so successful at such a young age."

"No way, it's a life of hard work."

Yan Li waved his hand and looked at Hu Ya: "Have you eaten? Let's eat together."

Hu Ya glanced at Wang Ou and shook her round face: "No, I have an appointment with a friend."

"Ah."

Yan Li didn't try to persuade her much and left the company with Wang Ou. While waiting for the elevator, he called Qin Lan.

"You don't have to wait for me. I have an appointment. Um, I have my keys."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Li shook the phone: "Girlfriend, report to me."

Wang Ou's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled gently: "Your girlfriend is so lucky to have such an outstanding boyfriend like Mr. Yan."

"what."

Yan Li smiled and chatted with Wang Ou on the way to the restaurant.

Although this girl is quite smart, she is still young and is no match for Yan Li.

After chatting for a while, Yan Li got a lot of information out of me.

She is from Guangxi Province and just turned 21. She started participating in modeling competitions at the age of 19. She also won the championship of the China-Vietnam Model Competition last year and starred in a film and television drama for the first time.

At the beginning of this year, I participated in a model competition held by CCTV and made it to the finals from the Guangxi Provincial Division. The final result was pretty good.

As a result, I got some opportunities and stayed in Beijing, starting my life as a migrant worker in Beijing.

Modeling is not easy, the world is complicated, and the income is low, so I want to develop in the film and television industry. This is Wang Ou's resume, as well as her family situation, which is almost the same as Yan Li's.

Her parents were divorced and didn't care much about her. She was given to a neighbor for foster care when she was very young. With limited living expenses, she took dance classes in junior high school in order to earn money to support herself. She felt a little resentful towards her parents, but also longed for their attention.

Currently, Wang Ou shares a residential complex with two model friends.

I usually take some odd jobs as a graphic designer and car model, and spend the rest of my time running around on crews. If I don't have any income from modeling, I will make a living by dancing or something like that.

Independence, lack of love, financial distress!

After Yan Li got to the bottom of the matter, he made an evaluation of Wang Ou. After thinking about it, he added an evaluation that he was utilitarian and selfish.

The last two words are not derogatory, but real and objective descriptions.

Having lacked love since childhood and lived in poverty, he was obsessed with trying to escape from the predicament and climb up, but how could he climb without utilitarianism?

Her parents don't care about her, her grandma doesn't love her, and she relies on herself to make it to Beijing from her hometown. She is mixed up in the mixed circle of models. It would be strange if she is not selfish.

To be honest, Yan Li just wanted to find a beautiful "friend" who was pleasing to the eye and do some business with her.

But after listening to Wang Ou's resume, he really felt a sense of admiration for his talent.

When looking for a girlfriend, he likes those like Dong Xuan and Qin Lan who are not mischievous, gentle, family-oriented, and simple-minded.

But as a boss, he likes those ruthless people who risk their lives to climb up, who dare to fight and who are willing to take risks.

Of course, such people are useful, but there is also the risk that they may turn against you at any time.

He might call you godfather today, and stab you in the stomach with a Fang Tian Hua Ji tomorrow, shouting, "Old thief, prepare to die."

If Yan Li did not have an intelligence system, he would also be vague and use it with caution.

But he has a system to rely on, which allows him to prevent and control risks in this area to the greatest extent, and his courage and determination are much greater.

Therefore, when seeing Wang Ou's various characteristics and appearance, Yan Lizhen considered that perhaps he could support and train him.

If the company doesn't sign the artist, then just let them go and give them some resources from time to time to see what they are capable of.

It doesn't mean that a ruthless person will definitely succeed. Ability, means and even luck are all crucial.

Yan Li was not afraid that Wang Ou would run away after getting a little benefit. He had absolute confidence in himself. If Wang Ou ran away before signing the contract, it would mean that she was stupid, had poor vision and brains, and was not worth training.

Yi An doesn't need a Wang Ou, he can still promote others, but it will be a different story if Wang Ou leaves Yi An.

Having made up his mind, Yan Li didn't continue to ask questions, but chatted casually.

Wang Ou was a little anxious. He had finally come across this opportunity. If he missed it today, who knew when he would have to wait for the next one.

When Yan Li asked her just now, Wang Ou thought he was interested in her, but now he doesn’t ask anymore, and she feels very nervous.

So, when they arrived at the restaurant, Wang Ou asked for a private room, and then began to diligently serve Yan Li food and flatter him in various ways.

Yan Li was very calm. He ate whatever Wang Ou served him and accepted all the flattery. However, when he encountered some temptations, he pretended not to hear them.

If you proactively give people opportunities, they will not cherish them. Only those who strive for them will feel that they are precious.

Seeing this, Wang Ou felt that relying on these alone was useless. He took a look at Yan Li's face and figure, gritted his teeth, and increased his output.

His hand inadvertently rested on Yan Li's hand, and he reached out to wipe Yan Li's mouth ambiguously. He stood up to pick up some food and pour some wine, but he accidentally tripped and his upper body bounced lightly on Yan Li.

They keep feeding you little sweet treats, but they won’t let you take advantage too much, and they still make you feel itchy.

“There are quite a few tricks.”

Yan Li felt a little emotional. The modeling circle is indeed a training ground, with endless little tricks.

However, Wang Ou met his match today. Yan Li was someone he had seen before. Her tactics, which were all talk and no action, had little effect on him.

In a word, if you give them something sweet, they will take it; if you give them something good, they will take it; but they will not spit it out.

Wang Ou was helpless and didn't know what to do next.

We have only met a few times, and Yan Li's attitude is unclear. What if I invest all my money and it's all in vain?
Just as she was hesitating, Yan Li suddenly spoke up, "By the way, Xiao Ou, I'm planning to discuss a project in a few days. There's a female lead in it, and I think you're a good fit. If things go well, I'll recommend you to the director."

"The female lead?"

Wang Ou's eyes suddenly lit up, and Yan Li nodded. "The setting is that she's a woman who comes to the city from the countryside to work, gets cheated, ends up working as a hair salon girl, and finally turns over a new leaf. She has quite a few scenes and a character arc. Would you like to play the role?"

"Yes, yes, I'm willing to act."

Wang Ou nodded repeatedly. No matter what the role was, it was the leading female role. For a little model like her who couldn't even film a movie, she would play whatever role was given to her.

"Row."

Yan Li nodded: "I'll arrange it for you later, but..."

"But what?"

Wang Ou's heart and soul were now filled with the three words "female leading role". When he heard the turn in Yan Li's words, his heart was gripped.

"Although there aren't many intimate or sex scenes with this hair salon lady in the drama, it's a special profession after all, so it's not easy to play."

Yan Li looked at Wang Ou and said in an inexplicable tone: "You are not a professional actor. I am worried that you can't play this role well?"

Wang Ou looked at Yan Li, his cheeks slightly red. He gritted his teeth, stood up and sat in Yan Li's arms. His little hands kept stroking his body, and his breath was as sweet as orchid.

"Boss Yan, if you're worried, please help me try out the play."

"Forget about the audition, I have to go home soon."

Yan Li shook his head, helped the bewildered Wang Ou up from his arms, put his hands on his shoulders, and asked him to squat down slowly.

"I'll just tell you about it."
