Just to Sweep the Entertainment Industry - Chapter 27
Chapter 27: Applying for a Broker
Ming Brothers Music Studio, No. 18 Sanqu Lane.
It was 3:30 in the afternoon, and while Yan Lu was chatting with Qi Ming and Lin Bei and Lin Nan, Guo Yan pushed the door and walked in on time.
Although Yan Lu heard this person’s name a lot in these two days, it was the first time he really saw him.
Guo Yan’s age should be around 37 or 38. He is a bit rich, but his waist is hard and straight, so his height of 175 looks good. His appearance is very popular, with a slightly polite temperament, his hair is meticulously taken care of, and he looks very clean and tidy.
Only from this first glance, Yan Lu’s impression of Guo Yan is still relatively good.
Because just like his name is “Stricter than self-discipline’, he has a good impression of people who have rules and regulations for self-discipline.
Guo Yan was also looking at Yan Lu at the same time. He had seen him from a distance during the previous movie launch, and then he had been through the screen. This was the first time he had seen a real person so close.
Once again, he affirmed in his heart that Yan Li was definitely not as simple as he had investigated before, because his temperament was too calm, and his speech and demeanour were too calm, which was completely inconsistent with his experience and his age. .
After all, his identity is sensitive. He used to be an agent for Chen Chen for three years, and he played a very important role in the turmoil that just passed. In theory, Yan Li saw that he must not be so calm.
Verbal ridicule, bad attitude, even disregard, humiliation, these are all possible.
Therefore, before Guo Yan pushed the door and walked in, he had already prepared himself mentally before making the call.
However, now, the other party’s attitude is very unusual, and he is a little at a loss.
He found that in front of Yan Lu, he had been struggling before, and the mentality he had cultivated because he thought he had seen the world didn’t seem to work at all.
He stretched out his hand and introduced himself with some restraint: “Hello, Mr. Yan, this is Guo Yan. I made an appointment with you on the phone before. I am here to apply for your agent.”
Behind Yan Lu, the expressions of Qi Ming, Lin Bei, and Lin Nan were all disdainful, and the eyes looking at Guo Yan were also very cold. In their opinion, what Guo Yan did was really disdainful. He helped Chen Chen destroy Yan Lu with his front foot, and Chen Chen kicked him with his back foot, so he ran to Yan Lu as an agent.
There is also a degree of thick skin, and this person is really shameless.
The most important thing is that they all agreed that Guo Yan came to ‘defect’ at this time, obviously with ulterior motives, maybe this is Chen Chen’s next step.
On the contrary, Yan Lu didn’t care, and said, “It’s okay to see you.”
This is also the main reason why they are not at ease and follow Yan Lu in the studio.
Yan Lu, as he showed, naturally stretched out his hand and shook Guo Yan politely, “Hello, just call me Yan Lu, Mr. Guo, please sit down.”
“Ah, then you can also call me Guo Yan.” As he spoke, Guo Yan sat down opposite Yan Lu.
Yan Lu sat back in his place and asked, “Mr. Guo is coming to be my agent. Can you ask why?”
When it comes to this, Guo Yan’s expression obviously flashed with embarrassment and bitterness, “I met Chen Chen when he was still a trainee, and I brought him out with one hand. As his agent, he naturally takes him as a priority, so today’s result is a matter of my own choice, and I can’t blame him.”
“It’s just that I still have to live after all, so in this circle, I have to find a way to live for myself. Although this path is difficult to find because of my poor reputation, I don’t want to give up or admit defeat.”
Qi Ming sneered, “So you found Yan Lu here, oh no, who gave you the courage? If it weren’t for the King Crab’s action, our Yan Lu would have been cool long ago.”
Guo Yan pursed his lips. He looked at Yan Lu for a while, but still said what he said to his mouth.
“In his position, I am Chen Chen’s agent, and naturally his interests are given priority. Therefore, in your opinion, the three views are not correct, but for me, this is what I should do as an agent. But this incident is undeniably my dereliction of duty. It is one point that the call was recorded by the other party. There has been no timely management restraint for three years. It is another point to indulge and let Chen Chen become what he is today.”
“Indeed.” Yan Lu nodded approvingly, “As an agent, for an artist, it is equivalent to a parent in his career. It is indeed inappropriate for you not to be restrained by management and let him grow up barbarously. After all, this circle is really a big dyeing tank. If you don’t check it, you don’t know what colour the artists under your hands will be dyed. At this point, your negligence is undeniable.”
Guo Hang nodded with a wry smile. He knew this very clearly. He always remembered how young and flying he looked when he first saw Chen Chen, but he didn’t know when he started smashing a computer and seemed to face it, ferocious as an enemy of life and death.
“Chen Chen fired you, and you still want to survive in this circle. I understand that, but I want to know, why did you come to me?” Yan Lu continued to ask.
Yan Lu’s attitude was very serious, Guo Yan also put away his emotions, and replied equally seriously: “I had a unique vision when I was able to see Chen Chen at a glance among the trainees, and in the past three years, he has been sitting firmly on the throne of Xiaosheng. In addition to his own strength, it is also enough to show my ability. Therefore, although my reputation is bad, if I want to continue to survive in this circle, I still have many choices.”
“It’s just that everyone has ambitions. I have brought out a Chen Chen. Naturally, I hope that the next choice is stronger than him. At present, because of Chen Chen’s influence in the circle, many people, including the company, dare not contact me, and whether it is accessible or inaccessible, I have not seen in them the possibility of my ambition to be realized. .”
“I only see this possibility in you. Moreover, Yan Lu, you are different from all of them.”
“First, you don’t mind who Chen Chen is, so your choice of agent will inevitably not be affected by this aspect, but only depends on his personal ability. In this regard, I have absolute confidence.”
“Second, you yourself have very strong strength. Song writing is one aspect, voice talent is also one aspect, and on the other hand is your calmness. Whether it is the sudden appearance at the press conference or your two live broadcasts afterwards, you have coped perfectly. You don’t have stage fright, and you know how to use your strengths. It can be said that you are born to eat this bowl of rice. In this regard, I also have absolute confidence in my vision.”
“Third, your career has just started, and you are directly starting from the highest point. If you are not worthy of an experienced agent, you will obviously not be able to keep up with you and become a drag on your back. In this regard, I also have absolute experience. After all, Chen Chen became famous three years ago, and I have never been behind.”
“Of course, the issue of trust is the most important point at present. I can only say that when I seek my position, as Chen Chen’s agent, I naturally give him priority unconditionally. But I am now a free person, so if I become your agent, I must and must give priority to your interests. In this regard, I can accept inspection and supervision.”
Guo Yan said this large paragraph very seriously, and he was neither humble nor overbearing. All four people present heard from his words that he was imperative, and they also heard his importance and dedication to this job. .
Qi Ming and Lin Bei and Lin Nan looked at each other, their eyes were very complicated. From the bottom of their hearts, they obviously couldn’t trust Guo Ruan yet, but the points Guo Ruan listed were also very attractive.
So all three of them set their sights on Yan Lu again.
Yan Lu was indeed thinking seriously. The points Guo Yan said had already been thought about after he had agreed a meeting time with him on the phone.
I have to say that if the trust issue is eliminated, Guo Yan is really his most ideal agent candidate at present. He has experience, ability, and can get started directly, and he will definitely be able to keep up with his own footsteps.
In fact, his requirements for the agent now are nothing more than these.
He thought for a while, looked at Guo Yan and asked, “Then let’s talk about it. If you become my agent, what is your career plan for me?”
This sentence, like a signal, suddenly ignited the fighting spirit in Guo Yan’s eyes.
