Chapter 286 Now make up
Huayi also put some thought into this signing ceremony.
Because of the fear that the stampede would happen again, the signing ceremony was held in the conference room upstairs, and only reporters from major media outlets attended.
But in order to enhance the atmosphere of the scene, Huayi erected several electronic screens near the building to broadcast the entire signing process live to the public.
This way, it is safe and popular.
Yahoo, which was cooperating with Huayi, immediately published a report titled "The final word is in, Director Xu Kun officially signs with Huayi."
Most subsequent reports also used the statement of "Director Xu Kun". Obviously, even if Xu Kun insisted on only signing contracts with actors, it would not affect Huayi's marketing using his identity as a director.
The industry generally believes that Huayi made a fortune from this signing and almost re-established its reputation as the country's top film and television company.
If the plan to introduce Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun and others is successful, Huayi will have completely escaped from the quagmire of artist defections.
But Xu Kun didn't lose out either.
The conditions offered by Huayi to him were slightly higher than those offered by Chen Daoming, the former top executive of Huayi, and second only to Feng Xiaogang in the entire company's agency contract system.
It also comes with a large signing fee and subscription quota for 300 million original shares - or pre-order quota, because internal purchase of original shares will not be truly open until the early stage of Huayi's listing.
According to Wang Zhonglei's private disclosure, the upper limit of Huang Xiaoming's original stock subscription quota is 180 million. The difference of 120 million is a true reflection of the actual status of both parties.
If Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming clash again in the future, I'm afraid they will only be able to compete for the second brother of Huayi.
At noon, he had lunch with all the major shareholders of Huayi. In the afternoon, Xu Kun asked Zhu Yawen to drive Baoqiang to the airport, while he himself went to a separate office on the fourth floor.
This is a suite of a large office and a small office. Huang Bin is already waiting in the large office outside.
"Brother Kun!"
When he saw Xu Kun, he could not hide his excitement on his face. He had been running around for more than two months and it was finally worth it.
From today on, he is Xu Kun's official assistant, or assistant foreman.
Huang Bin followed Xu Kun into the small office inside. When Xu Kun sat down in the boss chair, he immediately handed him a large stack of files and explained, "According to the company's regulations, you can also call two more assistants. Here is the list of candidates - I have already noted their reputation within the company."
After a pause, he added, "If you want to select a trainee, there is also a recent medical examination report on it."
When Xu Kun heard the physical examination report, he knew it must have been written by Wang Zhonglei.
"By the way..."
Xu Kun was a little puzzled and asked, "Aren't trainees here to become stars? How can they be transferred here to be assistants?"
"This one……"
Huang Bin hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Our trainees at Huayi were actually brought in last year out of desperation. Now they are almost all doing odd jobs. Whenever a department is short of people, we transfer trainees. The daily cleaning work in our office is the responsibility of the trainees in turns."
I’ve only heard about how miserable Korean trainees’ lives were, but I didn’t expect that Huayi’s trainees were even more miserable.
Korean trainees can at least hope to debut, but Huayi treats them like cattle and horses all day long. They probably don’t even have much time to train, and they still want to debut...
uh~
According to the current situation of the talent show, it seems that there is no need for too high professional qualities, so they still have a chance to stand out.
Xu Kun did not look through the files. After all, he was not very familiar with Huayi. He decided to wait until the evening to ask Huo Siyan and Qin Lan to help take a look.
Looking around, Xu Kun was very satisfied with the environment of the small office: large floor-to-ceiling windows, a low-key and luxurious leather sofa, a large mahogany desk, and a large plasma TV on the wall.
Finding the remote control right next to him, Xu Kun turned on the TV, but what appeared was not a TV program, but an empty room.
"This is?"
"This is the practice room for trainees. Dance classes and body training are all held here." Huang Bin explained: "Including you, there are only four people in the company who can check the situation in the practice room at any time, which is convenient for internal potential development."
four people?
Two of them are definitely Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei, what about the last one?
The new deputy Chen Guo?
Xu Kun curled his lips and said, "This place is almost abandoned, why are we still tapping its potential?"
Huayi has been focusing on signing famous artists in recent years and has never developed a tradition of tapping internal potential. Last year, because almost all of its artists left, it recruited a group of trainees as an emergency measure.
Now it seems that these people are just cannon fodder.
“It’s not like it’s been left uncultivated.”
Huang Bin whispered, "I heard that during the night break, some people would occasionally go inside and close the door to perform alone... ahem, practice." I see. It's not allowed to perform in the classroom again.
No wonder people say that Huayi has a bad atmosphere. Trainees who have only been in the company for half a year have been influenced like this, not to mention those artists who are struggling in the world of fame and fortune.
Knock knock knock~
Just as I was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Kun knew that the person he was supposed to meet had arrived, so he quickly turned off the TV and said to Huang Bin, "Send me the standards for salary, bonus, and allowance. From now on, all the assistants under my command, including you, will get their salaries from me."
"This, the company's regulations..."
"You don't have to worry about the rules. If they have any questions, tell them to come to me directly. Don't worry, just follow me and I will never treat you unfairly."
As he spoke, Xu Kun raised his chin towards the door.
Huang Bin hurried to the door and wanted to open it.
"correct."
Xu Kun stopped him again and ordered, "Don't let the trainees clean my office from now on."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the TV.
Huang Bin understood immediately, knowing that he was worried that the trainees were dissatisfied or were instigated by outsiders to do something in the office.
So he hurriedly said, "Brother Kun, don't worry, I will clean this office myself from now on!"
"Hmm~"
Xu Kun nodded and motioned for him to open the door.
When Huang Bin opened the door and saw the charming and delicate face outside, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Sister Bingbing?!"
"It is you."
Fan Bingbing looked at Huang Bin, then at Xu Kun who was standing still behind his desk, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that you have achieved your goal. Congratulations, congratulations."
Huang Bin was neither humble nor immodest, he could only pretend to be honest and scratch his head and smile foolishly.
Seeing this, Fan Bingbing raised her wrist with the Cartier bracelet seductively and said, "Okay, go and do your own thing. Director Xu and I have something serious to discuss."
Huang Bin only felt a fragrant breeze blowing on his face. He managed to hold back his nose from twitching and quickly stepped aside.
Fan Bingbing closed the door behind him, looked around first, and then sighed, "Okay, Director Xu is Director Xu, he climbed over our little actor's head as soon as he came."
As he said that, he threw a script in front of Xu Kun: "Take a look, this is a newly revised script with a passionate scene between the hero and heroine in the bathroom."
Xu Kun didn't even touch it, but raised his eyebrows and said, "What does that have to do with me?"
"You play the leading male role!"
Fan Bingbing said as a matter of course: "I am the heroine. Madam boss, whoever you want to invite, I will personally invite him for you. Now that we have both the celebrity status and the benefits, you can't refuse it anymore, right?"
This woman is really persistent.
In the past, he used "passionate scenes" as bait to get himself to play the second male lead, but now he has been upgraded to the first male lead, and the passionate scenes have doubled.
This is quite sincere.
However, Xu Kun still pushed the script back and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, I've already accepted a job with the movie channel, plus Director Feng's "Assembly", I'm afraid I won't be able to relax until March or April next year."
"That's just perfect!"
Fan Bingbing was not annoyed. Instead, his eyes lit up: "By then, Liang Jiahui's lawsuit should be over. It would be a good opportunity for him to play the second male lead."
She was talking about Liang Jiahui, but Xu Kun could see that she wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "Assembly" to add a layer of insurance for "Apple".
But Xu Kun really wasn’t that interested in “Apple”, just for the two passionate scenes…
Fan Bingbing seemed to see through his thoughts. He suddenly leaned on his hands and sat down on the desk. Then he heard two crisp "clicks".
By the time she came to Xu Kun, spinning like a gyroscope, she had already peeled off two tender water chestnut-like bare feet.
She sat on the edge of the table, put her feet on Xu Kun's legs, and then held her cheeks with her two white hands, smiling and said, "If you feel that the office scene is not enough, I can make it up for you now."
