Six Hundred Retreat to Advance
Everyone has their own boundaries and bottom lines, and every relationship needs to explore each other's boundaries and bottom lines, including family, love and friendship.
What about business partnerships?
It is precisely because of this that how to grasp the measure and how to grasp the scale has become the key to every relationship. The same goes for agents and entertainers.
Today, Johnny and One Day King are testing each other's bottom line, but it is impossible to change the concepts and styles of both parties through a short dialogue today, so the most important thing is to express their attitudes, and based on such attitudes , and we will cooperate step by step in the future.
Just as Johnny showed his limits, Ronan needed to show theirs, "I don't like that. This is my limit."
Ronan said so.
Johnny raised his jaw slightly, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about the meaning of Ronan's words, and was about to respond.
But Johnny didn't speak impulsively. He didn't want his impulsiveness to make a mistake. He carefully thought about the correct response for the next step, but he didn't expect that Ronan's pause was very short, and he spoke without waiting for Johnny to respond. the second half of the sentence.
"But I can accept it." Ronan continued, Johnny was a little surprised, "This is just for work, I believe you will not pry into our privacy at will and break that boundary. I accept it, but at the same time I don't like it, That's my attitude."
And, that's not all.
Ronan added another important point, "In addition, I need you to know that in the future, when we encounter such a thing, we can communicate face to face. I don't like the behavior behind the scenes. I can accept contradictions and even conflicts, but I can't accept Going your own way without communication.”
The cloud is light and the wind is light, but it is clear.
Cliff was slightly surprised, such a straightforward way of speaking was not Ronan's style.
Johnny was also slightly surprised, because Ronan expressed his attitude bluntly.
But apparently, Ronan's method is working.
Johnny raised his eyebrows lightly, "Is that all?" There was no affirmation or denial, but the tone could be heard. He seemed to be saying: This is not a problem, it's just a trivial matter.
Ronan chuckled, "Of course not. This is only part of it. I believe that your bottom line should not be just five centimeters long."
The bottom line of being a person, of course, cannot be measured in "centimeters".
But Ronan's little humor managed to lighten the atmosphere, and the subtext could not be more clear: they still need time to get in touch, and it is impossible to get in place in one step; therefore, today's matter will stop here, and we will wait for the next time we encounter something Communicate again.
Johnny likes Ronan's attitude. He hides needles in the cotton, is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Behind his relaxed and relaxed attitude, he clearly and accurately conveys his attitude, and he doesn't roll up his sleeves and punch directly; , This is the test of IQ.
"I don't think it should be as long as five miles." Johnny also joked, which was regarded as a response.
When the eyes of the two people crossed and collided, the communication was completed and a consensus was temporarily reached.
This is already the best result so far, so Ronan did not continue to dwell on this topic.
"So, what is the purpose of today's meeting?"
Ronan took the initiative to avoid the topic, and Johnny was a little surprised, but he was willing to welcome such an accident with open arms, otherwise the cooperation would not last long and would fall into a dispute about principles and bottom lines, and I am afraid that he would be entangled in the next period of time. Here it goes in circles.
And now, the communication is successfully completed and the problem is calmed down, which is naturally the best for Johnny.
Deep in his heart, Johnny heaved a sigh of relief without even realizing it.
What has actually happened?
On the surface, Ronan seemed to have taken a step back and did not break Johnny's paranoid principles; but in fact, the initiative was always in Ronan's hands.
First of all, it is obvious that Johnny is the first to kill and then act secretly, but judging from the results, it seems that Johnny consulted Ronan's opinion and implemented it after getting Ronan's approval. The subtle changes between active and passive also produced different chemistry in his heart. reaction.
Secondly, Ronan's combination of rigidity and softness made Johnny feel "lucky" - or "relaxed", because his bottom line was not broken, and because the communication of the first conflict was successfully concluded. Compared to previous collaborations, Johnny was able to get more breathing room.
To put it simply, Ronan established his dominance by retreating.
More importantly, Ronan's handling was very gentle and subtle, even an old fritter like Johnny didn't notice the abnormality. Of course, a large part of the reason is that Johnny's mind is on the "surveillance app", waiting for him to calm down and recover before he reacts.
But the time has been missed.
Apart from the helpless wry smile, it also made Johnny more interested in Ronan.
At this time, even as a bystander, he couldn't accurately grasp Ronan's intentions, Ollie didn't know anything, and Cliff had some vague concepts but couldn't grasp the context accurately. At the end of the conversation, the topic came back for some reason.
Faintly, Cliff could feel Johnny's relaxation, and then looked at Ronan who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, a question mark slowly emerged above his head. Pulling and pulling, my thoughts shifted, and soon I didn't have the mood to think slowly.
"Start now?" Johnny asked for confirmation.
That is, in the absence of Maxim, they were ready for a meeting. As for Maxim, just wait and catch up after the fact.
Cliff could also sense the subtle change in the atmosphere, and nodded repeatedly to express his affirmation, "We won't wait for Maxim." He just wanted to change the subject now, otherwise he didn't know how the matter should end.
Johnny didn't continue to procrastinate, and simply got to the point.
"We need to start a real tour, I mean, a solo stage for the band, not an opening show, not a joint show, just kings for a day."
"A solo tour for the band is already on the agenda, and Atlantic Records has begun to finalize the schedule and venue. Everything is on the right track."
coming!
The solo tour that belongs to the king for a day is finally here!
Atlantic Records has been planning since before the Grammys, and now it is finally on the agenda.
Such unexpected and gratifying news took a 180-degree turn in an instant, so that no one in the band was able to react, including Ronan, who widened his eyes, and the joy and excitement deep in his pupils felt Surging up, eagerly waiting for the next one.
"There are now two main issues to explore. First, the subject matter; and second, the content."
