Chapter 28 Life Assistant
After replying to several messages, Zhao Qi suddenly called.
"Mr. Fu, there are a few updates regarding the music studio and ringback tone business that I need to report to you."
"you say."
"First, the studio has been registered and is called 'Dawn Music'. The copyright registration for all ten songs has been completed."
Secondly, regarding singer recruitment, we have initially screened more than 20 voice samples through industry channels and music academies. I have selected five that best match the temperament of the songs. Would you like to listen to them?
Third, regarding mobile operators, we have made initial contact with China Mobile and China Unicom. They are interested in cooperation, but the revenue-sharing model still needs further discussion.
Fu Yibai thought about it.
"Send me the singer's sample to my email; I'll listen to it tonight."
You take the lead in negotiations with the operators; your bottom line is a 50/50 revenue split.
"clear."
Zhao Qi wrote it down.
"Also, regarding the candidate for artist management director that you mentioned earlier, I have screened three resumes, and all of them have good backgrounds."
When would you like to schedule the interview?
"As soon as possible. This week, please."
Fu Yibai said.
"Also, have you made any progress in finding a personal assistant?"
"There are several candidates who are still undergoing background checks."
One of them is quite special, named Liu Yan. She is currently a host on Hunan Public Channel. She graduated from a teacher's college and has an outstanding image and temperament. She is also efficient in her work.
She proactively submitted her resume and, during the interview, expressed her admiration for you, her strong interest in film and television production, and her desire to transition into a new field.
Liu Yan?
Upon hearing this name, Fu Yibai immediately pictured a sexy and hot female star.
However, he wasn't sure if Zhao Qi was referring to Liu Yan; he needed to see for himself.
Why does she want to change her career path?
Isn't hosting a pretty stable job?
She said that although being a host is glamorous, she always felt that she was "reporting" other people's stories, and she wanted to be the one who "creates stories".
After watching "Black Coal, Thin Ice," I greatly admire you and feel that working alongside a director like you would allow me to learn truly valuable skills.
Zhao Qi paused.
"I've heard from the side that she has indeed encountered a bottleneck in her development in Hunan. Her hosting style is limited, and there is not much room for advancement."
He is very intelligent, has a strong learning ability, and high emotional intelligence.
Is the background clean?
"Clean. Ordinary family background, no complicated connections, hardworking and willing to endure hardship."
Fu Yibai pondered for a moment.
"I'm almost at the company. Get her resume ready."
If there are no problems, I will arrange for her to be interviewed together with the other candidates.
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, the car had already entered the underground parking garage of the office building where Chenxi Media was located.
When Fu Yibai entered the office, Zhao Qi had already printed out Liu Yan's resume and placed it on his desk.
The girl in the photo has a bright smile and delicate features. She has lost some of her mature charm but gained more youthful vigor compared to her later photos.
After reading the resume, Fu Yibai put it aside.
The following week, Fu Yibai spent his time busy.
During the day, I handled company affairs and finalized the script and main creative team for "Crazy Stone" with Ning Hao. The male lead, Guo Tao, and supporting actors, including Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, and Liu Ye, were confirmed one after another, with a budget of 500 million yuan.
That evening, after listening to the singer samples sent by Zhao Qi, I finally selected a male singer with a clear but slightly husky voice and a female singer with a distinctive voice to record eight and two of the ten songs respectively.
Regarding cinema acquisitions, a cinema in Chaoyang District, Beijing, has officially signed a contract, its renovation plan has been approved, and it is expected to reopen at the end of October.
The project in Pudong, Shanghai, has entered the final stage of price negotiations.
Five cinemas in second-tier cities have also entered the acquisition phase.
Monday, August 18th, in the conference room of Chenxi Media.
At 9:30 a.m., the interview for the artist management director began on time.
Fu Yibai sat in the main seat, with Zhao Qi accompanying him and taking notes.
The three candidates we are meeting today are all industry veterans carefully selected by Zhao Qi from numerous resumes.
.........
After an hour-long interview, Fu Yibai ultimately chose a broker with eight years of industry experience.
"Ms. Lin Wei, welcome to Chenxi Media."
Fu Yibai stood up and shook hands with the other party.
"We hope you can bring us more excellent artist resources."
The interviews for the personal assistant positions began at 2 PM.
There are four candidates in total.
The top three each have their own advantages: some are meticulous and thoughtful, some are fluent in foreign languages, and some have certain administrative experience.
The fourth and last one is Liu Yan.
When Liu Yan walked into the conference room, Fu Yibai confirmed that this was the Liu Yan he remembered, known for her sexy figure and later as an actress.
At this moment, she looks even younger than her on-screen image, with less of the deliberately cultivated allure and more of the freshness and vigor of someone who has just graduated from school.
Wearing high heels, she was about 1.7 meters tall. Dressed in a well-fitting white shirt and black suit pants, her figure was already quite outstanding, but she was dignified, with a bright smile and clear eyes that carried a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
"Good morning/afternoon, interviewers. I am Liu Yan."
Her Mandarin has a slight southern accent, but her pronunciation is clear and accurate, after all, she is a professional host.
Following the procedure, she introduced her educational background, work experience, and why she applied for the position.
After the introduction, Liu Yan's gaze fell on Fu Yibai, waiting for his question.
"The work of a personal assistant is very trivial, requiring a great deal of patience and meticulousness, and even having to handle a lot of personal matters."
Fu Yibai spoke, his tone calm.
"This may be quite different from your previous glamorous front-of-the-scenes work."
Are you sure you can adapt to this change?
"I'm sure."
Liu Yan answered without hesitation.
Zhao Qi then asked some specific questions about handling different situations.
After the interview, Fu Yibai already had a preference in mind.
Liu Yan's appearance and temperament meet the requirements, and her attitude is sincere.
As his personal assistant, outward appearance is very important; it's a huge plus.
"Notify Liu Yan that she will start her probationary period next Monday."
Fu Yibai said to Zhao Qi.
"During the three-month probation period, you should arrange for someone to guide her through the company's operations and clarify her responsibilities."
"clear."
As staff gradually arrived, the company's gears continued to turn faster.
After joining the company, Lin Wei quickly got to work and began drafting detailed rules and signing standards for the artist management department. She also used her personal connections to contact actors she thought had potential and whose temperament matched the style of Chenxi Media. Among them were some newcomers who were still studying at drama school or had just graduated.
She first went through the casting list for "Crazy Stone" and selected several actors who were good at acting but not well-known as potential contacts.
Liu Yan's probation period started smoothly and efficiently.
She quickly demonstrated excellent learning ability and meticulousness.
Fu Yibai's schedule was organized in an orderly manner, and her reminders were timely and appropriate.
She is able to perform preliminary classification and summarization of incoming and outgoing documents and emails.
When accompanying Fu Yibai to meetings or negotiations, she always quietly took notes and handled logistics, behaving appropriately and never overstepping her bounds.
She even used her breaks to quickly learn basic film and television production terminology and industry knowledge in order to better understand Fu Yibai's work.
