Chapter 62 Everything is over, the burden moves forward (Ch 62)

“Mr. Duo! Three million!”

As soon as Chen Yuwen finished speaking, it was as if a hornet’s nest had been stirred in the conference room.

The buzzing sound of people whispering continued.

Mr. Zhao was so scared that he opened his mouth wide and his little tongue kept trembling in his mouth.

Manager Zhang was like being hit by a thousand-year-old killer from behind, and he stood up from the stool.

He refused without hesitation.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

“Manager Chen, your request is really too much.”

After Mr. Zhao was surprised, his face regained its composure. Chen Yuwen’s sudden increase in the price also caught him off guard.

Although he admired Chen Yuwen very much, it didn’t mean she could do whatever she wanted, so he opened his mouth and reprimanded her slightly.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhao, this happened suddenly and I didn’t have time to inform you.”

Chen Yuwen first apologized to Mr. Zhao, and then began to explain.

“Just three minutes before the meeting, Qi Jia received a recommendation from Teacher Xu Zheng and will be going to Beijing this Wednesday to audition for the leading male role in a big-budget movie.”

As soon as she said this, the meeting room, which had been a little quiet, suddenly became buzzing again.

Chen Yuwen glanced at everyone, obviously satisfied with their reactions, and continued.

“According to the information I received, the director of this film is Zeng Guoxiang, and the female lead is Zhou Dongyu, the fourth-generation “Mou Girl”, so I applied for this amount after careful consideration.”

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

After saying this, the discussion in the conference room became more intense.

Recommended by Xu Zheng, directed by Zeng Guoxiang, and starring Zhou Dongyu, all of them are veterans in the entertainment industry.

Of course he understood what this lineup represented. If he could really audition and get the leading male role, then Qi Jia would become an instant hit!

Even if he failed the audition, it would be enough to prove Qi Jia’s potential.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to audition for such a large-scale production, let alone the role of the male lead, not to mention that Qi Jia was recommended by Xu Zheng himself.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes towards Qi Jia and Chen Yuwen changed.

Seeing that Mr. Zhao looked somewhat interested, Chen Yuwen seized the opportunity and continued lobbying.

“Mr. Zhao, managers, our Shanghai branch has been established for more than a year, right?

But at present, there are few first- and second-tier artists in the company, let alone third-tier artists. Why is this?

Isn’t it because we don’t have a representative and people don’t believe that our branch has the same ability as the head office to make them famous?

If it really goes as I said, with the company’s strong promotion, Qi Jia will become famous through this drama and become a second-tier or even first-tier star.

Does that prove our ability? Then we can ask those who have a certain reputation,

But if we extend an olive branch to a mid-level artist who sees no hope in his original company, will they reject us outright? “

Chen Yuwen’s words touched Mr. Zhao’s heart.

If it is true that she said that spending three million yuan can make Qi Jia a second-tier artist,

It is not only beneficial to the branch, but also to him personally.

Because all this was accomplished under his leadership and organization, so of course the lion’s share of the credit should go to him!

Unlike Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang still opposed it.

She had no prejudice against Qi Jia, and the reason for her opposition was very simple.

What you, Chen Yuwen, say is better than what you sing.

If it succeeds, then all the credit goes to you and your leader, but if the money goes down the drain,

Guess who will be the first to be punished when the head office starts to investigate? It will definitely be her, the financial manager!

Besides, the company’s publicity and promotion expenses are so limited, and it would be a shame to spend three million on Qi Jia all at once.

If other agents find out, there will be a huge uproar, right?

By then, if the advertising funds are not enough, we have to apply to the head office again.

What would the president and his colleagues think of her as a financial manager?

Do you think there is something wrong with her ability that is why she failed to control the allocation of expenses?

Since you don’t have the ability, then you should quit your job as a financial manager. Just pack up your things and leave.

However, she could also see that Mr. Zhao had already made up his mind, so she still had to give the leader face.

So she stood up and spoke directly.

“Manager Chen, I basically agree with what you said.

But at the same time, I also want to say that all the cakes you have drawn so far are just based on the assumption that Qi Jia might become popular.

Spending three million to verify a hypothesis seems irrational to me.

But since you insist, I will go crazy with you once, but three million is impossible, the maximum is five hundred thousand!”

This number obviously cannot satisfy Chen Yuwen.

At this point in the meeting, we have basically said everything that needs to be said. If we continue, it will only be a waste of time.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Zhao finally made the final decision.

“Manager Zhang, your concerns are indeed justified.

But according to our follow-up visit to the crew, the artist Qi Jia does have great potential.

So my opinion is that opportunities don’t wait for anyone. Since this opportunity is rare,

Then the publicity expenses can be slightly increased, I would say one million,

Afterwards, if the president asks for accountability, I will take the blame for you!”

Mr. Zhao had said this, and even said that he would be responsible if there was any problem. Manager Zhang no longer insisted, so he nodded.

“Since Mr. Zhao has asked, then it will be one million.”

Now that the matter has been settled, everyone feels relieved.

Although they didn’t get the reservation amount, one million is not a small amount, so Qi Jia and Chen Yuwen are relatively satisfied.

The others were also very happy because the meeting was finally about to end. It was almost noon and if they didn’t end soon they would be too late to order takeout.

Just as everyone was about to pack up and leave, Manager Zhang suddenly spoke again,

“Also, I hope everyone will stop asking for more money! Think of more ways to improve your abilities!”

“At present, the number of artists in the branch is increasing every day, but the publicity fee given to us by the headquarters is fixed every year. There is only so much water in the pool. If you drink more, others will drink less.”

“They also generate revenue for the company. If the company cannot provide them with good publicity and promotion resources, will they be dissatisfied and want to change jobs?”

“I am just stating a fact, not targeting anyone. I hope Agent Chen doesn’t mind, and everyone doesn’t think I am unkind!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s faces changed dramatically.

Even an idiot could understand that Manager Zhang was openly scolding Chen Yuwen and Qi Jia for seeking special treatment.

It would be even more exciting if this word got to the ears of other agents.

Yes! We all work hard for the company.

Why do you get to apply for preferential treatment and occupy the publicity and promotion resources that originally belong to my artist?

Do you think your artist will become popular just based on your empty words?

I will say the same thing next time. If your Finance Department doesn’t approve my application, then you are discriminating against me.

…

After the meeting,

Qi Jia followed Chen Yuwen back to her office.

As soon as the door was closed, Chen Yuwen couldn’t wait to throw her high heels aside.

He walked barefoot to the refrigerator, took out two cans of soda, and threw one to Qi Jia.

After taking a sip, he let out a sigh of relief.

“Sister, thank you for your hard work this time!”

Qi Jia naturally understood how much pressure Chen Yuwen was carrying at this moment.

If Qi Jia becomes popular this time, then everything will be fine.

If one million is wasted, there will definitely be rumors about the two of them in the company.

“Let’s save our reputation and get the audition for ‘Better Days’ first!”

Despite the huge pressure, Chen Yuwen is still full of fighting spirit.

Her fighting spirit also ignited Qi Jia, and he nodded solemnly.

Time flies and it’s Wednesday.

That day, Qi Jia and Chen Yuwen boarded a plane to Beijing early in the morning.

Preparing to audition for “Better Days”.
