Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 467 Her Deaf Boyfriend (50)

Dongcheng Company and Sino-Japanese Entertainment were founded at about the same time, with similar positioning and business models. Therefore, the two companies appear friendly on the surface, but often compete in private.

The person who came from Dongcheng Company happened to be the general manager of the artist department. When he saw his 'arch-enemy' Qin Zhen, the smile on his face began to become subtle.

I have dealt with this general manager Qin Zhen before. He is a veteran, never gives others a chance to criticize him, and has good business skills.

But this person has a shortcoming that Qin Zhen really dislikes, which is that he would let some unknown artists in the company participate in business entertainment similar to the current ones.

To put it bluntly, it means just accompanying people to drink.

Then most of the business that was negotiated was allocated to the company's top artists.

Because of this, Qin Zhen originally wanted to hire this person to Zhongtian at a high price, but after knowing who he was, he completely gave up the idea.

Qin Zhen felt really disgusted when he saw that every man around him had a beautifully dressed celebrity sitting next to him.

However, Zhongtian Entertainment is not the largest agency company. For the sake of the project, even the president has to deal with this situation with a smile.

As soon as Qin Zhen sat down, several men began to urge him to drink.

Qin Zhen politely declined some people, but had to drink for some that he really couldn't refuse. Even Secretary Yu helped him drink two glasses.

Fortunately, I had a full meal before coming and took some hangover medicine in the car.

After drinking the alcohol, Qin Zhen made up his mind to transform Zhongtian.

In the entertainment industry, the ones who can really sit at the table and eat are the capital providers of these video platforms.

The title of president sounds nice now, but in essence, one is just a resource broker and risk manager, engaging in some business games that are treading on thin ice.

Qin Zhen got up in the middle of the conversation and used the excuse of going to the bathroom, taking Secretary Yu with him.

"Mr. Qin, are you okay?" Secretary Yu asked.

Qin Zhen can drink quite a bit, so the few drinks he had in the evening didn't affect him.

Qin Zhen was about to say something when he turned the corner and walked into the bathroom when he was suddenly bumped into by someone walking out of the door.

"I'm sorry—" the man apologized and hurried over.

A smell of alcohol hit Qin Zhen, who initially didn't take it seriously. Suddenly, a man shouted from outside the corridor: "Jiang Xingyun!"

This roar made Qin Zhen stop and she walked out of the bathroom to look.

Secretary Yu beside him also heard it and frowned.

After taking office, Qin Zhen made a point of getting to know all the contracted artists in the company.

Jiang Xingyun is one of them.

Qin Zhen remembered that Jiang Xingyun seemed to have starred in a youth film. She became popular for a while with her innocent face, but there was no news about her afterwards.

The man who called her name not far away was Jiang Xingyun's agent.

When the agent saw Qin Zhen and Secretary Yu, the impatient expression on his face changed instantly.

"Qin, President Qin?"

Jiang Xingyun also turned around after hearing this.

After Qin Zhen glanced at their faces, he slowly walked towards Jiang Xingyun.

"Why aren't you resting at home so late? Are you discussing business?"

The closer I get to Jiang Xingyun, the more I can smell the alcohol on her.

The agent came over and stood behind Jiang Xingyun, smiling at Qin Zhen. "Yes, Mr. Qin, there's a campus play that's perfect for Xiaoyun. Coincidentally, the producer of the production is having a drinking party tonight, so I thought of bringing Xiaoyun over to try her luck."

It is very common in the entertainment industry for agents to secretly take actors to obtain resources.

But the smell of alcohol on Jiang Xingyun made Qin Zhen's already uneasy mood even worse.

She glanced at her agent's face calmly; he seemed quite lucid.

"Why would the company pay you to do business if you have a female celebrity to come in person and reek of alcohol?"

"Actors serve the audience, not the producers."

Qin Zhen's cold voice made the agent sweat and wonder in his heart.

What does Mr. Qin mean... Jiang Xingyun is not a big shot, who would be willing to give her face if she doesn't come in person to discuss business?

At this moment, a door behind him was suddenly knocked open.

"Xiao Yun~ Xiao Yun! Where's Xiao Yun? Why did you go out for so long~"

Qin Zhen glanced at the drunken man's cross steps, then glanced coldly at Jiang Xingyun's agent.

She said to Secretary Yu, "Send Jiang Xingyun home first." Then she turned to her agent and said, "Come to the company for a meeting tomorrow."

It's time to clean up this shameless atmosphere.

If you can’t manage others, how can you manage your own company?

...

That night, Secretary Yu urgently contacted the artist management team department and asked all agents to come to the company for a meeting the next day.

Qin Zhen issued new business regulations the next day.

Celebrities are not allowed to discuss business in any way while drinking.

To make an example of someone, Qin Zhen directly fired Jiang Xingyun's agent for bad conduct.

This move has caused private dissatisfaction among many people.

Because in fact, most artists have had this way of negotiating business, and some even rely on this way of negotiating business to attract resources.

After what happened last night, Qin Zhen realized that there were many operational problems within the company.

After communicating with Qin's father, Qin Zhen returned to the company to hold a management meeting to discuss the company's problems and future transformation.

Qin Zhen proposed a Hollywood packaging model at the meeting, which is to sell director + actors + scripts in bundles.

Some domestic entertainment brokerage companies focus more on the integration of film, television and variety show resources and fan economy operations.

Although this operating model has fast monetization and flexible capital operation, it is highly dependent on top artists. Once a top artist falls into a public relations crisis, it will have a huge impact on the company.

Zhongtian Entertainment's operating model is that of a very traditional artist agency, focusing on film and television dramas and signing actors to promote film and television resources.

However, this model is highly dependent on top artists. In addition, the platform capital is deeply bound and resources are concentrated, so it is difficult for signed newcomers to stand out in the industry.

The industry will experience an accelerated reshuffle in the future. Qin Zhen proposed that the industry should shift from "traffic first" to a stable model of "compliance + content + diversification".

Qin's father also attended the meeting remotely. He knew very well that if the company wanted to operate for a long time, it had to break some things. Without destruction, there would be no construction.

Qin's father thought for a long time and thought that he should let Qin Zhen do it.

The company's transformation faces not only the problem of personnel changes, but also funding is a very important part.

Qin Zhen knew that he couldn't become a big fat man in one breath, so he extended the strategic period and advanced step by step, while also slowly raising funds.

The company now has several important projects, one of which is Jiang Weiqing's fantasy ancient idol drama, which has been completed and is in post-production.

Miao Ziyun's movie is also in preparation, and she also has some commercial endorsements.

But these are obviously not enough, and training new employees in the company is also one of the key tasks.

Qin Zhen became busy, going out early and returning late every day, and also had to travel frequently to participate in various business activities.

Xu Yanqing knew that Qin Zhen was busy, so he would not disturb Qin Zhen unless it was necessary.

Sometimes Qin Zhen had to work overtime on weekends, so Xu Yanqing would prepare meals at home and bring them to the company to eat with Qin Zhen.
