Chapter 1007: Already Assigned?
It has been a long time since the annual meeting of Haina Company was so lively. Dozens of artists who looked familiar but whose names were not known filled the large conference room.
Among these artists, except for the artists in the crash course, the other two groups of artists were the absolute focus, one of which was from South Korea.
Although those newcomers were not very familiar, the male and female protagonists of the popular "Autumn in My Heart" introduced to China this year are now very popular in China and have become the idols of the young generation.
In terms of background, they are definitely not comparable to some big-name stars, but in terms of popularity among young people, they are definitely comparable.
Sitting behind the male and female protagonists of "Autumn in My Heart" Song Seung-heon and Song Hye-kyo are four Korean artists recommended by Lee Boo-jin. The two men and two women are not pure newcomers, but like the other artists present, they have debuted for several years and played several roles, but they are not outstanding and can only be said to be familiar.
In addition to this wave of Korean artists, the most eye-catching are the four big boys. Apart from the first half of this year's "Autumn in My Heart" which made people cry, which drama is the most popular in the second half of the year?
"Meteor Garden" considers itself the second and no one dares to say that it is the first. In the future, people only remember that since 2000, the invasion of Korean wave has been endless.
However, they don't know that at this time, the rise of Taiwanese idol dramas has also set off a storm in Asia. Its popularity is no less than that of Korean wave, plus the rise of hot groups like SHE.
In the past few years, Taiwan's entertainment market can be said to be flourishing, and there is a feeling that it is going to surpass the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which is at its peak and has no one in Asia.
In addition to these two groups of people, the rest are the artists selected by Yang Dongxu from the mainland for the special training class this time. There are also eye-catching ones among them, such as Fan Binbin, who played in "My Fair Princess" before and has appeared on the screen frequently in the past two years. Although he has no representative works, his popularity is still good.
Of course, Fan Binbin feels a bit inferior to the other two groups of people, after all, they all play the leading roles in the popular dramas, while he is only a supporting role.
In addition to Fan Binbin, Gao Yuanyuan, a female artist, is also sitting among them. In fact, these two days have been a bit dreamy for Gao Yuanyuan. Originally, her agent, Sister Luo, strongly promoted the filming of a song MV for Haina. At that time, she was so willful that she almost offended the big boss of Haina.
But in the blink of an eye, she became an artist of Haina. When Sister Luo revealed the news to her in advance, she only considered it for one night. When Sister Luo brought Haina’s people to her door the next day, she was completely stunned.
Especially Haina was very generous. Whether it was the liquidated damages or she said that she liked her current agent Sister Luo very much, the other party not only poached her without saying a word, but also paid the liquidated damages from Sister Luo. If she said she would applaud someone at that time, the other party would probably have accepted it.
So when she signed the contract, she was shocked and confused. She didn't know how she signed the contract. Then she moved to her new residence and became an artist under Haina two days later.
Such ups and downs in life made her sleep poorly these days, and she always had some messy thoughts in her mind. In particular, she wondered if the young big boss of Haina, whom she had met once, had bad intentions towards her, otherwise why would he use such generous conditions to poach a little actor like her who had no fame.
But it was useless to regret it now that the contract had been signed, because the liquidated damages in the contract were something she could never afford to pay back. She had been feeling uneasy these days until familiar but unnamed faces became her neighbors.
It was obvious that several floors that were temporarily vacated were quickly filled with people, and she felt a little relieved. After all, she had seen such things as a big boss taking a fancy to a little actor and spending money to support him.
If you say that a big boss wants to support a little actor, he will suddenly get dozens of people to form a special training class, so that the person being supported will not look so abrupt.
Gao Yuanyuan felt that she was pretty and had a good figure. But it was not enough to make a big boss so crazy, not to mention that he was the big boss of Haina. If he really had some ideas, would he have to go through so much trouble? If she just said something, there would be many celebrities who were more famous than her who would recommend themselves to her.
Just when she knew that the messy things she was thinking were impossible, but she couldn't help thinking about it, the conference room suddenly became quiet. It was as if the class teacher suddenly stood at the door of the classroom that was originally buzzing.
So some people looked at the door of the conference room at the same time. The door of the conference room opened and Yang Dongxu and Liu Zongsheng walked in together, followed by Li Zongsheng, Li Fuzhen and Chen Hong.
As for why Li Fuzhen had to follow today, Chen Hong, who was originally unable to come, suddenly appeared in the company and followed directly behind. Yang Dongxu didn't know how these two women were so coincidental, and of course he would not be stupid enough to ask.
Just treat it as a coincidence. After all, both of them are shareholders of Haina. The opening of the special training class is also a big event for Haina. It is okay for shareholders to attend from any angle.
Entering the meeting room, Yang Dongxu took a quick look at the group of people who suddenly stood up, and then asked with some surprise: "Why are these people here too?"
The 'several people' he mentioned were naturally the two focuses of the meeting room just now, the Korean artists and the Taiwanese artists.
"Song Seung-heon and Song Hye-kyo have recently participated in some commercial activities in the mainland with the popularity of the TV series. They have not been to the company headquarters before, so they came here today to see the excitement." Li Fuzhen said.
Yang Dongxu glanced at Li Fuzhen, then turned to look at Li Zongsheng.
"The three girls have recently produced a good album. The MV song you shot has been recorded and entered the promotion stage. They came here to help the junior sisters stand guard and attract attention.
And you also said that they can develop amphibiously in songs and actors, so I think it's not bad to put them in this class to learn and let them come together to see." Li Zongsheng said.
Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Zongsheng, then his eyes swept from Chen Hong to Liu Zongsheng next to him, and then walked towards the main seat without saying a word.
Several people sat down. Liu Zongsheng sat in the second-in-command position, Li Zongsheng sat next to him, and Li Fuzhen sat in the third-in-command position on the other side.
Chen Hong did not sit next to Li Fuzhen, nor did she sit down with Li Zongsheng. Instead, she left the conference table and sat on the vacant chair behind Yang Dongxu.
This seating order is accurate. Liu Zongsheng is currently the general manager of Haina and is in charge of the operation of all matters of Haina, so he can sit in the second-in-command position.
Between Li Zongsheng and Li Fuzhen, Li Fuzhen is not only a shareholder of Haina, but also the boss of the Korean branch. Li Zongsheng is also a shareholder of Haina, but his shares are not as many as Li Fuzhen, and he is only the head of Haina's record department, so he is one level lower than Li Fuzhen in order.
As for Chen Hong, she is a shareholder of Haina and can sit at the conference table, sitting at the position below Li Fuzhen or Li Zongsheng.
Of course, sitting at the back and looking like she is just here to see and not participate is also OK, after all, she has retired from the position of CEO of Haina. After retiring, she positioned herself to help Yang Dongxu supervise the operation of Haina. As a supervisor, she only supervises whether there are problems with the company's senior management and does not participate in the specific operations of the company.
But I don't know why, I originally felt that there was nothing wrong with it. This scene always makes people feel weird.
"Please sit down, everyone." Yang Dongxu didn't go into the details of where the weird feeling came from, and waved his hand to let everyone who was still standing sit down, "Today, I called everyone here just to get to know each other, because the special training class was established in a hurry.
So some of you live in the same place and become neighbors, and some of you live more scattered. However, the company has really dealt with the accommodation problem. In the next half a month or so, you who will participate in the special training will live in a community one after another.
At the same time, the classrooms of the company's special training class will be selected nearby, so that everyone is convenient. Of course, it is not mandatory to live in the dormitory provided by the company. If you like to live outside, it's okay. Just report it when the time comes."
After speaking, Yang Dongxu glanced at the people in the conference room. Everyone felt that his seemingly casual glance had a feeling of staring at each other, and they couldn't help but look away, and some of them subconsciously lowered their heads because they were not confident.
"Since we know each other, let's start with self-introductions. Start from the left. There is no need to introduce the people on the right. Just go from the left to the bottom." After taking a look at the reactions of the people below, Yang Dongxu was no longer polite and went straight to today's meeting.
The starting position on the left was not F4 or Korean artists. Although F4 was one of the two most attractive actors in the meeting, it was not known whether it was arranged by Li Zongsheng or they chose it themselves.
The position was not very close to the position of Yang Dongxu, the big boss, but directly sat at the other end of the conference room, which should be the end.
The Korean artists were all sitting on the right. There was a position between Li Fuzhen and Li Fuzhen. It was not known whether that position was reserved for Chen Hong.
So the starting position on the left was the male artist selected by Yang Dongxu from the special training class. Among them, the oldest Duan Hongyi sat there. Yang Dongxu liked this late bloomer who could interpret the masculinity and vicissitudes of men very much.
Therefore, when selecting people, he directly put him on the list, and he had already planned a rough outline of his acting career in the next few years. He is one of the actors he cares about most in this special training class.
