RREI 11
Chapter 11
Yang Kangding was the most experienced agent of Yaxing Entertainment. It could be seen from Gu Yaxing that his position was quite dominant in the heart of Gu Yaxing by deliberately giving him several artists who could be sold in the company. It could be said that in this company, apart from Gu Yaxing, his immediate supervisor, and Hu Xiao the money tree in his hand, there was no one worthy of his attention.
When he arrived at the company in the morning and was informed that Gu Yaxing was waiting for him in the office, Yang Kangding was somewhat surprised. Hu Xiao was in a bad mood all day because of his failed audition. He had been gloomy all day long since he was rebellious, Yang Kangding wanted to watch and prevent him from going to the bar to drink, and at the same time, he had to be careful that his words could not appear any words about audition while talking, so as not to stimulate Hu Xiao to make him more depressed.
It's not easy to comfort Hu Xiao. This big Buddha have many small demons, big wind, deep pool and but also an ungrateful bastard. He had been "number one elder brother" for a long time in the company thus Hu Xiao's temper was not small. Moreover, he also knew to cover up and showed a kind image, but he had no patience in the face of the agents. There were many artists of this level in the showbiz, but he was the only one who was signed with Yaxing Entertainment. In the beginning, Su Shengbai was also a small artist in the company, and now he was very popular. In Yang Kangding's view, the potential of Hu Xiao was not necessarily smaller than that of Su Shengbai. He also hoped that one day Hu Xiao would succeed took him to have a taste of the heaven.
"Mr Gu." He entered Gu Yaxing's office, glanced at Gu Yaxing, who was on his phone at the back of his desk and gestured him to keep quiet and retreated to one side.
"Well, of course, I have to ask you to take care of me." He didn't know who Gu Yaxing was talking to but his attitude was rarely modest, "Thank you very much. I'll prepare a table of beer for you when I'm free. You must show your face and let me thank you. OK, OK. You're busy. OK, goodbye."
He hung up the phone and the curve of his mouth fell. Gu Yaxing was also a star in his early years. At the peak of his career, he had a quarrel with the brokerage company and left to open his own studio. Naturally, his appearance was first-class. It's a pity that the operation of his studio is not so optimistic. He has made several famous artists, but only a few of them can stay when people go up. Most of them are willing to pay liquidated damages to dig people away. After so many years of being out of date, Asiatic entertainment has sharpened his spirit. As now, it's obvious that his unhappy attitude is rarely seen.
Yang Kangding saw that Gu Yaxing anger was directed towards him but he couldn't make head or tail of it and sensed that he was in trouble: "Mr Gu, what business do you want to talk with me?"
Gu Yaxing's voice was deep: "What did you do yesterday? Report everything to me."
Yang Kangding blinked, thinking about the tone of the other side in his heart, he was even more confused. Did he know about the Hu Xiao failing the audition? But it's normal to fail the auditions in the circle. There's no need to be this angry?
For the things involving Hu Xiao, Yang Kangding immediately became serious. Hu Xiao's interests were directly related to him. He smiled and carefully described all kinds of work yesterday one by one. When he mentioned the audition, he specially described how impressive the scene were and how famous the actors were. He downplayed the result of Hu Xiao's defeat. He thought about it and added: "I can see that Hu Xiao is really working hard. He was still working the day before, but he came to recite his lines an hour earlier on the audition day. Unlike Luo Ding, he was obviously informed yet he didn't show up until the last minute. In contrast, Hu Xiao is a meticulous attitude towards work, which I think needs to be praised. "
Yang Kangding stared at Gu Yaxing's expression and said the last word slowly with hesitation. It was obvious that he saw the other side's nose twitch for a while, which made him more and more nervous.
Gu Yaxing nodded and clasped his fists on his forehead so that Yang Kangding couldn't see his expression clearly. He could only hear his voice: "There's another thing. I've informed you about the selection for an album from the company in August. You must have planned it, right? Is there anything you want to say to me? "
When Yang Kangding heard this topic, all his little worries disappeared immediately, his eyes brightened. Hu Xiao had not been able to produce an album for a long time. His upper idol drama had laid a lot of popularity for himself, but without excellent works as a link, no matter how much popularity one had they would be wiped out. At this time, a huge hype that followed the release of a blockbuster record undoubtedly filled the gap. In order to win the opportunity for Hu Xiao, he began to pay attention to protecting the other party's voice more than a month earlier. He was just waiting for Gu Yaxing to raise this topic.
"Don't worry about the preparation, Hu Xiao now..." Yang Kangding waved his hand exaggeratedly and exclaimed, "Don't mention how good it is! His singing skills are also improving rapidly now, it's absolutely different from when he first started. Plus, with the popularity of 《Rainbow Bridge》after its broadcast, I promise you that this album will never let you down! "
Gu Yaxing was depressed. He sighed for a long time, puts down his hand, and looked at Yang Kangding with complicated eyes: "Xiao Yang, how many people do you have under your belt now?"
Yang Kangding was stunned for a moment and replied uncertainly: "Four..... Four or five. "
"Isn't there more than one singer with singing experience? I remember Luo Ding used to be a singer. Why didn't you even mention him? You just decided on Hu Xiao? "
"Luo Ding?" Yang Kangding didn't know why Gu Yaxing would mention the name at all, then he subconsciously on a whim uttered some despicable words, "Him? He can't. Where does he have the strength to compete with Hu Xiao?" What's more, Luo Ding were at odds with him from the beginning. Such a character, the possibility of being popular was so small. Such a rare opportunity must not be wasted on him.
"So it's like this." Gu Yaxing's eyes sank as he digested the other's meanings from his words. Suddenly, he could not stop his anger and let it out, "Hu Xiao, Hu Xiao, Hu Xiao! How many times have you mentioned Hu Xiao since you entered the office? Have you forgotten that Luo Ding is also one of your artists? What's the responsibility of the agent? Tell me now! Your task is to give everyone a chance, not to raise one of them with all your resources! Does Luo Ding have the strength to compete with Hu Xiao? You don't know shit! You know that Hu Xiao failed the audition. Why didn't you know that Luo Ding was chosen for《Tang Zhuan》? What a fucking agent you are! "
It's no wonder that Luo Ding, who had a little shine after Su Shengbai left, was so quickly and completely extinguished. With such an agent, it's a strange thing to progress!! Thinking of the scene when Gongliang Guang asked him why he didn't give such an excellent person as Luo Ding more resources yesterday, and then seeing Yang Kangding's current blank look, Gu Yaxing strongly wished to slap the other in the face.
Yang Kangding was stunned: "Luo Ding.... Luo Ding is selected in what? "
Gu Yaxing stared at him and didn't answer at all. Yang Kangding's face abruptly changed after digesting the sentence: "Tang..... 《Tang Zhuan》? How is that possible? Hu Xiao have more skills yet he was rejected, Luo Ding.... How could Luo Ding get picked? Mr Gu, I'm sure you've got it wrong..."
Gu Yaxing snorted coldly: "It's pointless to say it! I know I remember it correctly! From today onwards, Luo Ding is not your artist anymore. He belongs to directly to me. Since you are so in a hurry to be Hu Xiao's personal broker, you should just put down all the artists except Hu Xiao and focus on him ba. "
The salary of the broker is directly related to the income of the artists. The small artists under Yang Kangding all had fixed income. Without these people, Gu Yaxing was undoubtedly cutting down his income. As soon as he heard the phrase, his face changed greatly. He wanted to explain in a panic but Gu Yaxing didn't give him the chance to speak as he waved his hand wearily to let him go.
Yang Kangding weakly exited the office in disbelief. He casually found a quiet corner, squatted down and lit a cigarette for himself in a daze. After a while, he came back to himself and took out his cell phone to fish out Wu Fangyuan's number.
Wu Fangyuan's voice was soft: "Yang ge?"
"... Xiao Wu. " For the first time, he used a polite attitude when him, "That..... Are you with Luo Ding now?"
"Yes."
"... So, does Luo Ding have a job now? "
"Yes!" Wu Fangyuan suddenly realized, "Oh, I'm sorry, Yang ge. The recent work is taken over by Luo Ding on his own temporarily. I forgot to inform you as soon as possible since I was busy. Luo Ding is going to have a test makeup and MV shooting for Pan Yiming's new album these days. Next week, he will go to the 《Tang Zhuan》's crew to report. When he does, he will be very busy preparing for the production. He said that he has already mentioned to President Gu that he should push off all the previous small programs."
He obviously didn't know that Gu Yaxing had changed Luo Ding's agent. Yang Kangding listened to the other side's undisguised excited voice, he did not even realise when he hung up the phone.
Wu Fangyuan chirped until he heard the rhythmic beep sound, his lips twitched: "Hanging up the phone before I finish talking, I made him angry again."
On one side, Pan Yiming's assistant, a girl in her mid-twenties but appeared to be in her teens, said politely: "Wu ge, Luo ge has already put on make-up. We'll go to the make-up mirror and wait for the screen test in a moment."
Wu Fangyuan was flattered and waved his hand: "What Wu ge, aren't I younger than you? Liu jie, just call me Xiao Wu!" He had followed Luo Ding for so many years but this was his first time he was so respected!
Where did Liu Yu really dare to call him Xiao Wu? Their assistant circle looked at the leaders to decide their position. With the friendship between Pan Yiming and Luo Ding, it was obvious that Luo Ding was the strong one. Although Liu Yu didn't understand how this strange affiliation came into being, how could she not have so much insight now?
Wu Fangyuan enjoyed Liu Yu's different gentleness from others although he's afraid yet he was proud. Of course, he understood that the other side would treat himself so carefully because of Luo Ding's face. For the first time, he felt happy for others' achievements.
Because it's just a trial shoot, there were not many people in the studio, and more scenes in the later stage of MV still need to be completed outdoors. Pan Yiming didn't want Luo Ding to find the feeling of shooting yet. Today, Luo Ding's main task was just to try on the clothes and get familiar with the plot.
The door of the dressing room was closed. Liu Yu and Wu Fangyuan casually asked the staff from next door after they arrived at the scene. Only when they knew that Pan Yiming had just arrived at the scene could they entered the dressing room.
This time, Pan Yiming's makeup artist cost a lot of money to be invited. He had a good technique but a strange temper. He hated being interrupted in the middle of makeup. Liu Yu hesitated to open the door and say hello to Pan Yiming. After thinking about it, she waited outside with Wu Fangyuan.
When the door lock clicked, she turned her head first and saw the two assistants of the make-up artist coming out with flushed faces.
Liu Yu was stunned, and then heard a scream from the crack of the door: "What to do! I don't want you to be seen by them! Here! Oh! "
Liu Yu's whole body was stiff, and her face suddenly looked strange. Then she heard another voice, which was as clear as spring water: "Then, do I take off my makeup?"
She listened curiously and tried to open the door to see what was the fuss about inside. She ran into Pan Yiming, who was walking to exit the room.
Pan Yiming's state suddenly frightened her. Her whole face was full of shyness and excitement which could only be suppressed by strong restraint. Her eyes were bright like the wolf who had been hungry for three days. Her fists were tightly squeezed against her chest as if to stop herself from making exaggerated screams.
"..." It's rare for her to lose her control in front of others. Liu Yu rushed up and helped her. "Are you OK, Pan jie?"
Pan Yiming seemed to be called back from her reverie by her was shocked and accidentally let out her screeching but she quickly suppressed it.
"So handsome! So handsome!!!" She whispered while shaking her fist with a taut face. With a completely not light force, she "shyly" shook Liu Yu's shoulder, "He's damn handsome ah ah ah ah ah!!! Take me out for a run, hurry, I can't hold it in anymore!!!!"
From the dressing room, there was a numbing chuckle came from their back: "Pan jie, don't laugh at me."
Liu Yu reflexively looked up towards the voice, only to feel as if she was covered with a black cloth in a dark chamber, then once she was outside, only for the eyes' protection to be suddenly lifted and forced to look at the sky. For the first time, she understood what the concept of "being blinded" was.
