The gold broker of Xiao Xianrou(12)(1/2)
Taking advantage of the day's rest time, Chu Xiang took Fang Zhenxuan to sign the endorsement contract for the zx youth series. The other party did not particularly trust Fang Zhenxuan's ability to sell goods, so he proposed to sign for only one year.
Chu Xiang had no objection. One year happened to be the first, and if the other party wanted to sign Fang Zhenxuan next year, it would not be the price.
Then she accompanied Fang Zhenxuan back to the company to audition for the second male lead in the urban drama, and by the way, she settled how much money Chen Lifeng owed her.
As soon as they entered the company, Mr. Liang's secretary, whom they met, took the elevator with them, looked at Chu Xiang in surprise, "I haven't seen you for a while, Chu Xiang, you have become beautiful. Have you changed into a new skin care product? What brand is it?"
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "I bought it when I went to Paris with Zhenxuan to record "Extreme Mode". It worked well. I just happened to be going to record "Love Travel Wishes" tomorrow. I'll give you a set to try."
"Okay, thank you. By the way, Mr. Liang said that you would go to his office after handling the matter. Don't be afraid. You are right this time."
"Okay, then I'll go there later, thank you." Chu Xiang used to be almost always in the position of president, but she also knew a lot about how colleagues got along in the company. People don't blame each other, but sometimes they can get one or two useful information, and this relationship is worth maintaining.
Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan arrived at the audition floor. When they went over to say hello, the assistant of the audition director also looked at Chu Xiang in surprise, "Sister Xiang, you are so beautiful today. Your lipstick red number is so good. What brand and color number is it?"
Chu Xiang took the red from his bag and took a look, "It seems that this one is not sold in China. I'll bring you one after another. Our skin color is similar, so it should look good."
"Okay, thank you Sister Xiang! Then can we add a WeChat account?"
"Of course I have to add it. I will ask you to take care of you when Zhenxuan joins the group in the future."
"That's sure, Sister Xiang, don't worry." The assistant reminded Chu Xiang while adding WeChat, "Xia Ze, the second male character, came to audition just now. The director is quite satisfied. Zhenxuan wants to cheer up."
Fang Zhenxuan heard Xia Ze's name change slightly, and Chu Xiang noticed it, thinking that he was under pressure because Xia Ze was popular, so he comforted him: "We have prepared very well, don't think too much, just show it naturally. If not, I'll find other resources for you."
The assistant said enviously: "Sister Xiang, you are so fond of artists. It's so happy to be your artist."
Chu Xiang joked: "If you want to debut one day, you can come to me."
"Hahaha OK!"
Fang Zhenxuan was pulled back by the assistant's words, his expression softened, and he smiled and said, "It's really a happy person who can be Chu Xiang, so I will take this role. Chu Xiang, wait for my good news and I will go in."
Fang Zhenxuan took care of his clothes and walked into the audition hall slowly. The assistant did not notice that Fang Zhenxuan was not talking about "Chu Xiang's artist", but "Chu Xiang's person". He joked that Fang Zhenxuan was not like a newcomer at all, and his mentality was quite good.
Chu Xiang looked at the closed door and thoughtfully. She had never seen Fang Zhenxuan have a bad attitude since she met Fang Zhenxuan. What was the reason for the strangeness just now? They were well prepared, so Fang Zhenxuan shouldn't be nervous.
Xia Ze is Hong Yao’s popular chicken, and he is 26 years old this year. He debuted at the age of 18 and became popular at the age of 20. After that, he has been popular all the time. Because he can sing and dance, his face looks good and looks young, so he has a huge number of fans and a high popularity.
But 26 years old is a very delicate age for young actors. Younger young actors are rising and have great strength. For example, Fang Zhenxuan and an idol like Xia Ze who is popular and has no representative works can easily be replaced, especially an idol like Xia Ze with average acting skills and a sense of variety shows, and there are no songs that everyone is familiar with. The most important thing now is to find opportunities to have representative works.
The male and female protagonists of this urban drama and several designated supporting roles are both powerful actors. The script is well polished and the investment is not small. It is to be built into the annual hit drama. In order to have a good work, Xia Ze would rather play the second male lead this time than join.
Chu Xiang learned from his assistant that Xia Ze had taken the initiative to lower his salary and hired a private teacher in his performance. It can be seen that he had put in the effort. Judging from Xia Ze's popularity and traffic, the crew had no reason not to use him, and he was a big threat to Fang Zhenxuan.
Chu Xiang doesn't like fighting unsure battles. The company wants to give her some compensation, but with Xia Ze coming to audition, she may not be given the second male lead. After all, Fang Zhenxuan's current works are too few and his popularity cannot be compared with Xia Ze.
She went to General Liang's office in advance and proposed a bet agreement to General Liang.
"Gambling agreement?" Mr. Liang put down the pen in his hand, leaned on the office chair, and laughed, "I already know what Chu Xiang, Chen Lifeng and Li Ou did. They are indeed a bit too much, and the company will punish them accordingly. You are currently only bringing Fang Zhenxuan, a newcomer. I hope you don't make irrational decisions because of some things."
Chu Xiang smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Liang, this is a decision I made after careful consideration. Please believe in my ability and Zhenxuan's potential. Since I dare to raise it, I will definitely be able to achieve my goal."
"Oh? Think carefully?" Mr. Liang was puzzled. "Gambling agreements are rare and uncommon in the industry. Only first-line artists with strong strength will make gambling agreements with the company to gain more resources, accumulate better qualifications, and make more money. As far as I know, Fang Zhenxuan's two endorsements, one variety show and the other TV series, have not made high returns, and I am afraid there is no capital to bet."
Chu Xiang shrugged, "How long has he just debuted? The resources and benefits of having such resources have beaten all artists of the same stage. Mr. Liang, we have two years to limit, Fang Zhenxuan will definitely be able to far surpass Xia Ze and bring huge benefits to the company. I will increase his net worth ten times, and I also hope that the company can match him with high-quality resources."
Mr. Liang smiled with clarity, "It turns out that it's because of Xia Ze. Do you know he came to audition? Yes, they just discussed Xia Ze's situation and thought he was very suitable for the project "Turning". Chu Xiang, are you a little too hasty? Xia Ze became popular for two years after his debut, and this popularity has become very fast. His popularity traffic today is also the result of several years of development. Fang Zhenxuan has just debuted. You can slow down and don't worry."
Chu Xiang shook his head, took out the tablet and opened a new document. While typing on it, he explained to Mr. Liang how he wanted to make Fang Zhenxuan famous within two years.
TV series, movies, advertising endorsements, variety shows, New Year's Eve party, overseas markets, fashion resources, etc., not only talked about the types, brands, and benefits of various resources, but also roughly talked about how she wanted to obtain these resources.
Of course, the method would not be too detailed. After all, this is something she has to use her wrist to complete, but she has revealed enough information to let Mr. Liang know that she is not joking. She has a complete set of complete and implementable plans that can increase Fang Zhenxuan's net worth ten times, or even more than ten times.
Mr. Liang didn't care at first, but later he gradually became serious. When Chu Xiang talked about the complete plan and proposed a bet agreement, he suddenly had an illusion that Chu Xiang should not be an agent at all, but a business powerhouse who negotiated in the mall.
The bet agreement is that both parties set the next amount. Fang Zhenxuan must earn these benefits for the company within two years. All the extras belong to him. If the specified amount is not completed, Fang Zhenxuan will make up for the missing amount.
Regardless of whether it is completed or not, the company will not lose money. It is Fang Zhenxuan who bets, Fang Zhenxuan who fights, and Fang Zhenxuan who takes risks.
Mr. Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Do Fang Zhenxuan know about this?"
"This is what I thought of after he went in for an audition, and I haven't told him yet, but I'm sure he will agree with all my decisions."
Mr. Liang looked at Chu Xiang's confident and calm expression and shook his head with a smile, "You said you have thought it through carefully. I thought you had thought about it for a while. It turned out that he had just started to make a decision downstairs."
His eyes glanced at the tablet and couldn't help but exclaim, "I must praise you, you are a talent, you can make such a perfect plan in such a short time, and it is very feasible. But you really have to take such a big risk? It's just the second male lead in a drama, you have already won the male lead in a lawyer drama, is it necessary to be so persistent?"
"Mr. Liang, no suitable opportunity should be missed. The lawyer drama is still in the preparation stage, but "Turning" is about to start filming. Fang Zhenxuan has this potential, and of course everyone must be taken into account. Moreover, in the face of sufficient strength, the risks can be completely negligible."
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, I also trust the company and proposed a bet agreement. We Xingchen does not have an idol artist of the same type and level as Xia Ze. It doesn't take long. I will let Zhenxuan be on par with him and then surpass him. Chen Lifeng may leave after the contract expires in half a year. Zhenxuan's rise can make up for some of the losses. This is a strategic action. Zhenxuan and I will work hard to live up to the company's favor. I hope Mr. Liang can think carefully."
Mr. Liang laughed and stretched out his finger to her, "You, people say that a big deal will change their personality. I think you are becoming more and more capable and stronger."
He pressed the inside line and asked the secretary to call Fang Zhenxuan over, asked Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan to explain the content of the betting agreement, and asked Fang Zhenxuan's opinions in person.
What he learned before was that Fang Zhenxuan's family was average and he owed Chu Xiang a lot of money. He thought Fang Zhenxuan would hesitate, right? Unexpectedly, Fang Zhenxuan nodded without hesitation when he heard Chu Xiang say it.
"Mr. Liang, I have no objection. I believe Chu Xiang's decision. I will work hard to complete this agreement. Please believe us."
Mr. Liang was a little surprised, "It turns out that he is the best partner, this trust is worthy of praise." He thought for a while, "Okay, you guys go back first, I'll think about it for a few days. Chu Xiang will give me a formal plan, so more details."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liang for being willing to give us this opportunity. We will definitely not disappoint you." Chu Xiang stood up and shook hands with Mr. Liang. Suddenly remembered that the secretary asked her to come to Mr. Liang and asked, "Didn't Mr. Liang ask me to come after finishing my business? Do you have any instructions?"
Mr. Liang waved his hand and smiled, "I originally wanted to talk to you to calm your mind and not compete with Chen Lifeng, and I want you to be more stable. Who knows that your bigger plan has come out. OK, I also know that you are going to rush up now like a chicken blood. The company has no reason to stop you. As long as it doesn't work, do whatever you are sure of, and the company will support you."
"Thank you, Mr. Liang." Chu Xiang could see from Mr. Liang's attitude that he had 80% agreed to the bet agreement and was in a good mood to lead Fang Zhenxuan to leave the company.
Maybe it was because she used traditional Chinese medicine to regulate her body well during this period. When she met many people in the company, she praised her for becoming more beautiful, which made her mood better.
Fang Zhenxuan smiled and said, "You like to be praised so much? Then should I praise you a few words every day when I am by your side?"
"Okay, let's listen to it for a few words." Chu Xiang got into the car and lowered his head to wear a seat belt.
Fang Zhenxuan said without thinking: "There is still time now, should I go shopping? Are you so beautiful, don't you change to some good-looking clothes? If you don't meet you, you may not have the chance to show their beauty."
Chu Xiang touched his arms and raised his head, "It's so stingy!"
Fang Yuan and Xiaolin in the back seat laughed secretly, and Fang Zhenxuan also smiled and put on his seat belt, "What's wrong with being smearing? I'm telling the truth."
Fang Zhenxuan turned his face and leaned against Chu Xiang, "Boss, you just ordered me a huge task. Should you give me some compensation?"
Chu Xiang turned his face and the distance between the two was very close. She naturally asked: "What compensation do you want?"
Fang Zhenxuan's hand, which was placed beside him, unconsciously pinched his pants and said with a relaxed expression: "When you are resting, you can take me to a fun place to relax, or play with Xinxin and I, and find something interesting to pass the time. You see, I have such a strong work intensity and a lot of psychological pressure. Should you pay more attention to me and help me relax?"
Fang Yuan and Xiaolin lowered their heads and pretended to look at their phones, and glanced forward from time to time, feeling... Are these two people a little weird?
Chu Xiang bent his lips and smiled, and agreed, "Okay, we'll go out to play when we're resting."
When Chu Xiang returned home, she sent the complete and detailed plan to Mr. Liang's email address. This carefully sorted plan was better than what she explained in the office. Anyone who read it would be very moved. For Mr. Liang, this is a project that can bring huge benefits to the company. Of course, good projects are worth investing in.
Although Xia Ze's second male lead in "Turning" is indeed very high, Fang Zhenxuan performed very well during audition, and playing the second male lead is very natural, which is very good for the reputation of the series. In addition, the betting agreement and the popularity that can increase Fang Zhenxuan before the filming and "Turning" are broadcast, this role is more suitable for Fang Zhenxuan.
Mr. Liang still needs to think carefully, so this decision has not been disclosed to anyone for the time being. Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan soon flew to Paris to record "Love Travel Wishes" and become a guest of the first issue.
"Love Travel Wishes" is a trip for four couples to travel to different cities. Each time they travel, they will make a wish and realize it together. It is said that travel is a good way to test the relationship between couples. When they go out together, they will really encounter many problems that need to be solved. Even the couple may have some minor frictions, may be in a bad mood, or even a few quarrels. These sweetness of love are the highlights of this show, and the ratings are quite good.
In the 12th episode of the whole season, the 6th episode is where four girls gather together to travel and go to Paris to play for two days like besties. It brings some beautiful visual feast to the audience, and at the same time allows viewers who have watched a lot of couples to change their moods, take a look at the entertainment between "best friends", and then lets the girls talk about their relationship and their boyfriends. It is actually very interesting.
And this time, the producer added a super handsome guy like Fang Zhenxuan, which undoubtedly added highlights to the show.
When Fang Zhenxuan gathered with them at the airport, he began to take the initiative to help them carry out gifts, find a restaurant to order food, and lead the way to find a boarding gate. They didn't have to worry about anything.
Chu Xiang was also with her. She couldn't appear on the screen and was always with the staff. But she has always liked Meimei. Even if she stood among the crowded staff, she could see it at a glance. She was more eye-catching than those female artists and attracted a lot of attention at the airport.
Zhou Yuan always felt that she was better at taking care of her than Chu Xiang, but she was compared by Chu Xiang this time as soon as she met. Just looking at the rate of passers-by, she knew that Chu Xiang was in a better condition than her. She couldn't help but feel jealous and disgusted, and the other party Zhenxuan began to stumbling.
For example, when Fang Zhenxuan took good care of them, she said jokingly: "Zhenxuan is so young and considerate, has he really never been in a relationship?"
Most boys who have never been in love are straight men, and fans also like their style. If they are too gentle and considerate, which girl is considerate to? Fans don’t accept it.
However, Fang Zhenxuan responded jokingly and easily resolved, "How can a boy who has been in love be considerate? I am the one who raised my niece by myself. Several sisters believe me. Men who have brought little girls are the most considerate. They are really afraid of falling when they hold them in their hands, and afraid of melting when they hold them in their mouths."
The other three female artists laughed when they heard this. One of them thought seriously and said, "I must have a son when I get married, so I will love me one more person. I don't want a soft and cute daughter who is more lovable than me to compete with me for favor."
This sentence made everyone laugh and cleverly shifted the topic from falling in love to other places. Zhou Yuan wanted to make things difficult for Fang Zhenxuan, but after all, she was a person who had been in the entertainment industry for twenty years. She knew that it was too obvious and would only suffer losses. She forced herself to suppress her dislike and showed a smile, without saying anything more.
When the group arrived at their residence, they found that the program team only gave them some money to solve a series of activities such as eating, taking photos, checking in attractions, shopping, etc.
If they want the show to be good, of course, every event must be exciting, but not enough money is a big problem. Just saying that you can't afford to eat well will give people a very low feeling. A few girls suddenly became a little unhappy and even lost the joy of traveling to Paris.
Zhou Yuan found another opportunity and joked: "Hey, don't you sigh, don't we have a omnipotent helper this time? Zhenxuan, it seems that you have such a solution all the way just now. How about it? Are there any magic tricks this time?"
She looks good-looking, with a round face, and a smile is indeed full of kindness, as if she is really just joking. But if Fang Zhenxuan can't solve this little trouble, if this episode is not good, it will inevitably make people feel that this little helper is too redundant and is simply stuffed in.
Fang Zhenxuan was originally forced into it by Chu Xiang through relationships. Although the producer weighed the pros and cons and thought Fang Zhenxuan was very suitable, Zhou Yuan didn't think so. She even felt that Fang Zhenxuan's intelligence and variety show sense in "Extreme Mode" were scripted, and she was very unwilling to give such a good resource to Chu Xiang's people.
Now Chu Xiang actually dared to send Fang Zhenxuan to her. She said that she could not make Fang Zhenxuan stand out in her show.
The three girls who were traveling with them knew their relationship well, but they had nothing to do with both sides. Of course, no one helped them. After hearing what Zhou Yuan said, they all looked at Fang Zhenxuan and did not participate in the lawsuit.
Fang Zhenxuan seemed to be thinking hard, but in fact his eyes were in line with Chu Xiang who was standing among the staff. Chu Xiang nodded to him, then patted his knees and sat upright and said, "Let's do this, I'll go and see if I can buy some cheap and delicious dishes. We won't go out to eat. Today I'll cook for you."
Zhou Yuan showed a pity, "Ah? Don't eat French food?" Then she laughed cleverly again, "Okay, someone like me who can't cook has no say, haha, what can I eat if I have anything to eat."
She seems to be very straightforward, but she has said very little about it. If you don’t eat French cuisine when traveling in France, what’s the point of making home-cooked dishes by yourself? Even the staff of the program team are a little regretful about this choice.
Fang Zhenxuan smiled and said, "How can it be? Not only do you have to eat French cuisine when you come to Paris, but you also have to experience the local customs and fashion. Otherwise, it will be in vain. But now we don't have money, so we have to think of a solution first. My cooking skills are okay, so I will try to make something later to see if I can discuss with my neighbors to exchange some money, and then we will make plans. It's simple to take pictures, can we still not take pictures? Borrow a camera to take photos by yourself, help each other put on makeup and make styling, which is more interesting than the sisters' daily beauty live broadcasts?"
"Ah? Take your own photos and put on your own makeup and make a look?" The four girls looked at each other, but Fang Zhenxuan said so. If they disagree, wouldn't they distrust their level? Besides, it seems quite fun to think about it, so they all agreed.
After reaching an agreement, Fang Zhenxuan took the initiative to ask for money and said he would go out to buy vegetables, so that they would stay in the homestay to rest, and wait for him to come back to do work.
To be continued...
