Chapter 181 Thank you
Zhou Guican was really crying, tears were streaming down his face, and Xu Mo was stunned for a moment.
Chen Shen took Zhou Guican out and booked a room for him.
In the room, Chen Shen couldn't bear to see Zhou Guican lying on the bed with his eyes blank.
After all, this guy is not a bad guy, maybe he just cares about face.
"You just take the so-called face too seriously. People who really care about you will only feel sorry for you when they see you are not good, instead of looking down on you because of something." Chen Shen comforted.
Zhou Guican was already in a daze, but when he heard what Chen Shen said, his head turned around. Does anyone really feel sorry for him?
After thinking about it, he huddled up on the bed.
Chen Shen shook his head. This guy didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't bear the serious comfort.
It seems that he is also a person who has experienced hard times.
Chen Shen changed the topic: "Everyone has what he is good at and what he is not good at. Take me as an example. Look, am I not able to handle the balance with the company? How tough is my personality? Can I be wronged? ? But this is also a shortcoming, right? Didn’t your director Zhao Xiaozhi say that he wanted to ban me in front of the whole company? "
Zhou Guican got up with a puff: "That's right."
"So, you have to look at it from another angle. The success of a variety show cannot be separated from the efforts of all of us. Am I a positive character? I can only be considered a villain, right?" Chen Shen asked again.
Zhou Guican nodded: "Well, tell me more."
Chen Shen added: "Just like a movie, a successful movie is destined to have different roles. I am the villain, and you are the comedy. Among the domestic comedy masters, which one has never played a role that makes everyone laugh? You are an entertainer People in the circle still can’t see through this?”
Zhou Guican continued to nod: "Don't stop, keep talking."
Chen Shen: "Those who can make everyone laugh are all great people. The background of comedy is actually tragedy. Leave the bad to yourself and the good to the audience. Across the country, such people can do whatever they want with just a waving of their fingers." Counting it down, it’s really not much. I’m a villain. Do I care? It’s just a show effect. To put it another way, how many people in the circus are qualified to wear red noses? Use it, I can’t do it.”
Zhou Guican took a long breath: "It seems that I am indeed inferior to you in some aspects. In fact, there are many people who scold you, but you can ignore it."
Chen Shen nodded. He was able to draw inferences from one instance and it was effective.
"So, don't belittle yourself. You, Zhou Guican, have done a lot of credit for the success of "Love Lesson". I won't accept it if the director doesn't thank you."
As soon as Chen Shen said these words, Zhou Guican finally had a smile on his face.
This kind of self-worth is definitely recognized, which is really comfortable.
Yes, those people are all common people. The entertainment industry is just like Vanity Fair. How many of the friends you make through this circle are sincere?
Without me, would "Love Lesson" be so popular?
Didn’t you notice it during the show? Impossible. You have guessed that Chen Shen is most likely playing the character. Doesn’t that mean that you have strong insight?
However, I still insisted on finishing the recording, and then Lian Zong became as popular as it is now.
There have been more logged-in IPs on Weibo these days than usual, and hot searches have been going up over and over again, which is already becoming a trend.
If you think about it this way, there is really no need to worry.
Seeing that Zhou Guican was finally back to normal, Chen Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "You have a good rest, I'm going to do some work."
"Chen Shen." Zhou Guican stopped Chen Shen: "Indeed, you have a bad temper, but who doesn't have a shortcoming? They will be banned and still work for me. As a friend of yours, I Admit it, the Lian Zong matter is over. Don’t worry, I’ll look after it for you at the company. The boss will be back next Monday. He is a person who understands the overall situation, so the situation shouldn’t be that bad. "
Chen Shen frowned. Is the situation not bad? This is not good news.
"How can my son take care of the overall situation after being scolded like that by me?" Chen Shen confirmed.
Zhou Guican hummed: "Huanyue was established in 2006, and it has been almost twenty years now. The boss has dealt with many crisis incidents, and many times he has suffered the consequences himself."
Chen Shen has never seen Huan Yue's boss. If he can tolerate him throwing a cup at the company, he is indeed a difficult person to deal with.
Chen Shen also hummed and walked out.
Zhou Guican looked at the door and said, "Thank you!"
Chen Shen went out and stood there for a while.
Some people have a very high emotional limit, or have a high career threshold. If they throw a glass and scold their son to lose face, they can pretend to be fine even if they are angry.
If he, in turn, tolerates himself strategically, he will become a big belly, and I will become an ignorant brat.
Real businessmen are different from ordinary people, except when interests and core rules are involved.
The key is that when this kind of old guy remembers a grudge, he will wait for the storm to pass before attacking you, and step on you at the most critical time. Just like the most experienced hunter, he will step on you for several months just to get a chance.
Chen Shen had a lot of experience in this kind of thing in his previous life.
Chen Shen took out his cell phone as he walked, found Zhao Chunsheng's number and dialed it.
"Director Zhao."
"I was just about to call you. Zhao Jingquan, the chairman of Huanyue, came back from Yanjing at the weekend. It is said that a movie project has not been negotiated, but this guy is not easy to deal with. You have to be mentally prepared. I just contacted Penguin Video, and the leader asked you if you want us to meet first."
Chen Shen smiled and said: "Farewell, Director Zhao, you just ask the business team to come over to shoot. The leader doesn't need to come over."
"What?" On the other end of the phone, Chen Shen could even hear Zhao Chunsheng scratching his head.
"I said, let the leaders of Penguin Video not come over. There is no need to trouble the leaders. Just shoot the new business directly. In this way, you let them bring the quality. It doesn't matter if I am banned by Huanyue. The relationship with Yuwen is still good. We can still shoot with their shooting team. Didn’t we borrow their shooting location last time?”
"Are you okay? I can understand every word, but I can't understand them all together. I know you have been wronged, your role has been taken away, and your agent has been fired, but we still have to do it after all. Go and solve the problem, this is not a recording show, your contract is in their hands, forcing them to press it will really involve the law, no matter how popular the TV drama is, you can't use it."
Chen Shen walked a few steps to the side and found a small rest area, but no one was there.
"I know in my heart that although the contract was signed for three years, one of the clauses is very clear. If the income is generated by my own resources, it has nothing to do with Joy."
There was silence on the other side for several seconds, and then Zhao Chunsheng's voice rang out: "Huan Yue also signed this kind of contract for you? Yes, at that time they were also afraid that you would sign Yu Wen. However, even if the income has nothing to do with Huan Yue, there should be specific requirements on the project. , can’t you just accept whatever you want?”
Chen Shen smiled and said: "Of course. What I mean is that since the economic income generated has nothing to do with them, then even if they want to sue me, they will only get a verbal apology if they win."
Zhao Chunsheng: "But your contract is in their hands after all. You can't involve lawsuits in every project. Party A is not willing to bear such risks."
Chen Shen shook his head, but Zhao Chunsheng still didn't turn around and said again: "But this time the party is Penguin Video. Who has Penguin Group ever lost in a lawsuit?"
Zhao Chunsheng: "I seem to understand a little bit. Are you afraid that the leaders from Penguin's side will come over and be pulled into the same front by Zhao Jingquan?"
Chen Shen: "No, I'm afraid that if the leader of Penguin Video wants to be a peacemaker, he will have to give up this face."
There was silence on the other end of the phone again.
"Hey, can you please take care of this young literary director from the academy? I really don't understand you business talk. I can see it, you kid, and I feel like a mirror in my heart. Maybe this conflict with Huan Yue was caused by you yourself." Zhao Chunsheng sighed.
Chen Shen smiled and scolded: "Director, don't talk nonsense. I can sue you for defamation. Have I taken advantage of it now?"
Zhao Chunsheng's impatient tone sounded: "I know, I just remembered some of your performance in Lianzong. Are you not stupid to risk your own bright future with Huan Yue? Huan Yue too, has been on a downhill road for several years. This is There is no room for people. I chatted with Che Zhilai. Huanyue actually chose Urabin between you and Urabin. It is also strange. Okay, I understand. As long as the business can be done, it will be fine. You are right. , this business shooting is actually Penguin Video’s platform for you.”
Chen Shen smiled, Penguin Video gave me a platform? Not necessarily.
Most of the leaders of Penguin Video are professional managers, or senior workers. For them, maximizing profits is the embodiment of their value.
But it doesn't matter, there are some things that you don't need to explain to Zhao Chunsheng.
Zhao Chunsheng moved very quickly. He chatted with the leaders of Penguin Video in the morning and held a small meeting in the afternoon. Early the next morning, people from the Ministry of Commerce set out with an advertising director.
On Monday, Xia Qingyi was sleeping in at home when she was woken up by a phone call from Shen Hailan, who asked her to go to the company immediately.
Xia Qingyi was a little impatient. The album matter was basically finished. Now he was waiting for the popularity of Lian Zong to increase again, and then cooperated with Chen Shen to release the album.
After finally taking a few days off, I have to go to the company again.
However, when Shen Hailan brought Xia Qingyi to the studio, Xia Qingyi immediately smiled.
"Chen Shen! Why are you here!"
Chen Shen waved to Xia Qing, and when Xia Qing came over, Chen Shen smiled and said, "I found some work for you, let's put on makeup first."
Then, Xia Qing started shooting an advertisement with Chen Shen out of nowhere.
Huanyue Media, at 1:30 p.m., the chairman’s office on the eighth floor.
The office is about a hundred square meters, and the areas are clearly divided. In addition to the clean and bright reception area, there is also a small discussion area.
Zhao Jingquan, chairman of Huanyue Media, has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years. He is now almost fifty-five years old and has half-white hair.
Huanyue Media has almost run through the history of domestic entertainment development. When the general environment is good, Huanyue is one of the representative entertainment companies in domestic entertainment. When the general environment is not good, it can continue to work on projects.
Huanyue was going downhill, and Zhao Jingquan was also anxious, running around running projects.
At his level, he can basically rely on resources for development. For example, if a big director has a project, he can join in and invest money to get a share of the resources.
Cashing out your qualifications and letting the funds flow is also a way to support Huanyue.
Of course, great directors may not always be reliable, and they may make both losses and gains.
During this business trip, something went wrong in the company. Since the establishment of Huanyue, no one has ever dropped a cup in the office area, and he is still an artist.
Just opposite Zhao Jingquan, Chen Tianhui and Zhao Xiaozhi sat.
According to the timeline of Chen Shen's relationship with Huan Yue, Chen Tianhui spoke first, and then Zhao Xiaozhi finished.
1510 told Zhao Jingquan about the conflict between Huan Yue and Chen Shen.
Chen Tianhui would frown occasionally. The Chen Shen in Zhao Xiaozhi's mouth was the Chen Shen in his eyes. Although it was roughly that, it had a personal touch.
For example, when Chen Shen and Pu Bin were in trouble, Zhao Xiaozhi added that it was Chen Shen and Wang Ziwen who had a conflict, and Chen Shen brought his prejudices to the project.
"How is Chen Shen's business ability?" After listening once, Zhao Jingquan looked at Chen Tianhui.
Chen Tianhui nodded: "I have communicated with Director Che several times, and Director Che said that his acting talent is no less than that of Yan Jiachao."
Zhao Jingquan hummed, and Zhao Xiaozhi was a little anxious. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhao Jingquan: "I heard about a popular variety show recently in Yanjing, and many well-known people in the industry even called me to ask questions. , asked me if I had participated. After all, this show was filmed in Yuzhou, so I naturally didn’t know. I didn’t expect that the key person was actually signed by Lao Chen. You are indeed very discerning.”
Chen Tianhui breathed a sigh of relief. When the chairman said these words in this tone, the tone was set and there was room for relaxation.
Indeed, after two days of fermentation after the second episode was broadcast, "Love Lesson" has become the current variety show king.
Discussions are all over the Internet, and there are hot spots on all major platforms. Rumor has it that Kiwi Video is holding a meeting overnight, saying that they will soon make a similar variety show to compete with "Love Lesson".
Qi Wei, the boss of the Penguin Video Project Department, posted a message on Moments at 11:30 pm last Friday. Although it only had one sentence and was unintentional, the picture it was accompanied by was from the Love Class program.
Many people in the industry talked about this matter, saying that Penguin Video was lucky enough to let an idol drama director do a variety show, and they really got it.
For Huan Yue, signing Chen Shen is indeed a good thing.
However, some people have different opinions.
Zhao Xiaozhi said directly: "Chairman, this matter."
As soon as Zhao Xiaozhi started, he was stopped by Zhao Jingquan's look: "Whose idea was it to have Chen Shen come back from Hengdian?"
Chen Tianhui answered: "Chairman, it's me."
"Old Chen, you don't need to take the blame for him. I asked him to work at Huanyue because I wanted him to support the company. But what happened? I was short-sighted." Zhao Jingquan's tone was a little serious.
Chen Tianhui coughed twice: "Since you already know about this matter, it's up to you how to deal with it. I'll go and get started first."
I really can't stay any longer. Zhao Jingquan said that Zhao Xiaozhi is short-sighted. Doesn't that mean that Zhao Xiaozhi's vision is not as good as mine, Chen Tianhui?
You two, father and son, are just arguing. Don't take me with you, hey.
Zhao Jingquan nodded and let Chen Tianhui leave.
"Dad, you really can't blame me for this. The show hadn't aired yet, and the contract signed by Chen Tianhui to Chen Shen was better than that of Yan Jiachao. I even suspected that they had an improper relationship." Zhao Xiaozhi said hurriedly as soon as Chen Tianhui left.
Zhao Jingquan sighed: "You still don't understand. Don't think that everything will be fine if the company is supported by me. Can you look at the problem from a wider perspective? Is Chen Tianhui stupid? If not stupid, why should he give this kind of contract? Isn't it a last resort? You can say at most He is not professional and cannot be doubted."
Zhao Xiaozhi was still dissatisfied: "We all decided to support Pubin together. I am definitely on Pubin's side. Pubinhong is no less profitable for Huanyue than Chen Shen."
Zhao Jingquan was a little helpless: "Xiaohong relies on support, Dahong relies on life. It's hard to say whether Pu Bin has this destiny, but Chen Shen obviously has this destiny. I know that he scolds you in public, which makes you feel uncomfortable. I am your father, and in my heart Isn’t it uncomfortable? But think about it, the person you hate works for you, and you just sit back and take it while he makes money, okay?”
Zhao Xiaozhi opened his mouth, but didn't talk back.
"I've been in Huanyue for so long and I still don't understand? The contract is not good for us, so what? If you take the initiative to put down your position and be a peacemaker and make things even between him and Urabin, even if the company suffers a loss, you won't fight. I don’t know, Chen Shen is very angry, does it kill two birds with one stone by letting him lead Pu Bin? I’ll give you Yan Jiachao’s son for free.” Zhao Jingquan hates the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
Zhao Xiaozhi turned away: "How did I know that Chen Shen would be angry?"
Zhao Jingquan sighed again: "Suffering a loss is a blessing. I tell you all the time, but I just don't listen."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside. Zhao Jingquan glanced at Zhao Xiaozhi, and then looked at the door: "Come in."
The person who came in was named Ren Dongjun, the vice president of the Huanyue Project Department. He was not a director, and he was still on duty.
Che Zhilai is away from home all year round, so the company's project department needs someone to take charge.
"What's going on?" Zhao Jingquan looked at Ren Dongjun.
Ren Dongjun came over with very light steps. They were quite afraid of Zhao Jingquan.
"It's like this. I received news that Chen Shen has started filming business without taking the initiative." Ren Dongjun whispered.
Zhao Xiaozhi glared, then looked at Zhao Jingquan: "Look, let me just say that Chen Shen has a moral problem. How can anyone scold his seniors in the industry on the first day of work? His background is that he doesn't understand the rules, so Anyone who cares is in trouble!"
"Shut up!" Zhao Jingquan sighed again: "I've told you so much, but you can't even listen to a word? You took away the person's role and fired the assistant, but you still don't allow the person to have a temper?"
Zhao Xiaozhi muttered and looked away.
Ren Dongjun nodded, and then said: "Well, Chairman, their business is a bit special, it's from Penguin Video."
Zhao Jingquan nodded: "I guessed it, just treat it as an opportunity. Let's not care about it. Then we can sit down and talk about it. Maybe it will be a good thing."
Ren Dongjun said again: "Keke and the others are across the street, using the venue and equipment of Yuwen Media to shoot."
Zhao Jingquan was stunned for a moment, then began to narrow his eyes: "Dongjun, if you don't speak completely next time, don't report to me in the future."
Ren Dongjun lowered his head, hurriedly said "oh" twice, and then retreated.
After Ren Dongjun retreated, Zhao Xiaozhi looked at Zhao Jingquan. He was educated by Zhao Jingquan several times. He felt that if he worked hard to deal with people he didn't like, you could still share the money. This was really cool, so he said: "I understand, Dad, you will host it when the time comes, and I will soften my attitude."
"Bang!" Zhao Jingquan slapped the table.
Zhao Xiaozhi was stunned, thinking that he was wrong again, and was about to speak.
Zhao Jingquan narrowed his eyes and said: "The little bastard is bullying too much, and the family's shame is not exposed. It's okay to take business photos privately, but you also go to the opposite side!"
Zhao Xiaozhi: "????"
