A studio was the standard for an A-list celebrity. Some of the top B-list celebrities would also set up their own studios as long as they could afford it. This was equivalent to a small entertainment management company that handled the artists-related matters, promotions, and public relations. Some of the larger celebrity studios even had production and distribution functions. The only difference from a management company was that a management company was responsible for the specific matters of multiple artists, while a celebrity studio would generally serve a single celebrity. There was a fundamental difference.
Zhang Ye asked Rao Aimin, "Big Sis Rao, what do you think?"
Rao Aimin said as a layman, "What's the use of a studio?"
"Of course it has a great use," Zhang Ye immediately said.
Rao Aimin asked, "What great use?"
"Of course it's …" Zhang Ye paused and looked at Ha Qiqi. "Uh, what great use?" He did not know what it was either.
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were floored when they heard that. You were the one who suggested it, but you didn't know?
You're already an Asian celebrity, so why don't you know anything about it!
Little Wang immediately said, "Big Sis Rao, the studio means that everyone will revolve around Director Zhang. We'll be bound together for good or ill. As for related matters, for example, those who are looking for Director Zhang for a commercial appearance, they can contact the studio to handle any crisis PR issues. They can also get the studio's staff to discuss solutions, as well as media interviews. You don't have to personally handle all of them anymore in the future. You're Director Zhang's manager, so you'll only need to handle the major matters. As for the smaller matters, you can leave them to us. As for who does what, that will depend on the division of labor."
Zhang Ye repeatedly agreed, "That's right, that's right. In any case, you won't have much work to do in the future, so there won't be anyone chasing after you to call them every day."
Rao Aimin sneered, "You think I'll believe you?"
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "It's true, why would I lie to you!"
"I've already been fooled by you once, kid," Rao Aimin said.
Zhang Zuo also persuaded, "Sister Rao, with us sharing the workload, it'll definitely be much more efficient."
Tong Fu said, "Actually, Director Zhang should have set up a studio a long time ago. For an A-list celebrity who doesn't have a management company or studio, there's no one else other than Director Zhang in the entire entertainment circle!"
Wu Yi nodded and said, "Right, with a team, Director Zhang won't have to personally handle any crisis PR issues or speaking to the public! Director Zhang was already an Asian celebrity now, so if he didn't have a studio to handle his affairs, he wouldn't be able to do anything in the future. The workload would be too heavy! If there's a foreign job or a foreign media coming to us, Director Zhang won't be able to handle it with his English. It's best if we have a professional translator. Of course, this can only be done slowly. The team has to be perfected bit by bit. "
Zhang Ye said to Yang Shu, "Little Yang, how are you?"
Yang Shu didn't even think about it. "I'll be wherever Senior Brother is."
"Alright." Zhang Ye acknowledged, "Then it's settled!"
Manager.
Bodyguard.
Driver.
Assistant.
Cameras.
Copywriting.
The director.
Technology.
Operations.
Basically, all of them were present!
This group of old team members were not to be trifled with. Basically, they came over as a complete team. They did not lack any of the personnel that a program team should have. After moving over to the studio, everyone's positions would not change too much. At the very least, they would all be able to carry out their respective duties and have their own areas of expertise. In any case, when they were filming The Voice and A Bite of China, it was also this same team that handled production, publicity, and public relations. They did not even need any time to break in as everyone was very familiar with each other!
Once they hit it off, the matter was settled!
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Our studio has just been established, so I don't know much about the specifics. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to raise them."
Ha Qiqi said, "Then where will the studio be located?"
"Yeah, we'll have to rent an office space and get the relevant paperwork done as soon as possible." Zhang Zuo said, "But the rent for the office space is not cheap these days."
Zhang Ye's gaze fell on Rao Aimin's face.
Rao Aimin glanced at him. "Why are you looking at me?"
Zhang Ye said, "Old Rao, do you still have any spare rooms?"
Rao Aimin curled her lips and said, "No."
"No." Zhang Ye knew it like the back of his hand. "Don't you still have a large duplex that you haven't rented out yet? The one on the top floor is more than 200 square meters. "
Little Wang exclaimed, "It's that big?"
Wu Yi said in surprise, "Sister Rao still has a room?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "This entire floor is hers. Her place is quite good. It's a commercial and residential apartment, and we can even register a company there."
Rao Aimin immediately said, "Kid, dream on! How much are you going to pay her?"
Zhang Ye said in exasperation, "Why are you talking about money? Talking about money hurts feelings!"
Rao Aimin retorted, "Talking about feelings hurts money!"
Zhang Ye was at his wit's end. Seeing that she was not going to give in, he could only say, "Alright, can I rent it at market rate? I've never seen someone as stingy as you! "
"You should've said so earlier." Rao Aimin rummaged around and found a key. She tossed it to him and said, "Be careful with it. Don't scratch my apartment!"
Zhang Ye and the others went up to look at the apartment.
When they opened the door, everyone was indeed amazed!
Although the apartment wasn't that big, being only 100 square meters on the upper and lower floors, it was renovated very well. It had a European style to it, and the furniture was all new. The beds and cabinets in the bedrooms were cleared out and replaced with desks. There wasn't even a need to renovate the place. A full set of office equipment was more or less complete. In any case, their studio only had a dozen or so employees at the moment, so they didn't really need a large office space.
Little Wang praised, "This is good, this is good!"
Ha Qiqi also liked it very much. "There's enough space!"
Zhang Zuo smiled and said, "Then we'll start working on it from today onwards. Shall we write 'Zhang Ye's Studio' on the signboard?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes!"
Ha Qiqi asked, "Do we still need to recruit more people?"
"Who else are we lacking?" Zhang Ye asked.
Tong Fu coughed. "We're still lacking bodyguards, right?"
Yang Shu said, "But I'm a bodyguard?"
Tong Fu said, "Uh, I'm afraid that just one bodyguard won't be enough for Director Zhang. After all, Director Zhang has offended quite a lot of people and is so famous now. If he were to meet with any trouble while participating in an event, or if the fans are too enthusiastic or there are too many reporters, it could easily get into trouble."
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Right, should we hire two more bodyguards?"
Yang Shu didn't like what she was hearing. She frowned and said, "With me around, who can get close to my senior bro?"
Little Wang blinked. "Sister Yang, don't tell me you know kung fu?"
Yang Shu smiled. "I know a bit of Taiji Fist."
Little Wang exclaimed, "Really? Is it like those in the movies? "
Yang Shu scoffed. "Everything in the movies is fake. If you want to learn, I can teach you. I teach people in the neighborhood downstairs every day. Do you want to come? It's free. Taiji Fist is a superb martial art. Not only can it strengthen the body, but it can also … "She jabbered on and on. It was the same line she used every day to teach the elderly people in the neighborhood.
Little Wang said, "It's that good?"
Yang Shu smiled and said, "My senior bro is even better."
Everyone clearly did not understand.
Wu Yi said curiously, "Senior bro? This form of address … "
Zhang Zuo guessed, "Are you also from Media College? Are you Director Zhang's junior? Eh, since when did Media College have martial arts classes? I've never heard of it! "
Yang Shu said, "Huh? What junior? "
Zhang Ye interrupted, "Alright, there's no need to recruit bodyguards. That's enough."
Everyone looked at Yang Shu skeptically but did not say anything.
What could a woman with such a small body do?
At this moment, everyone clearly did not know how good Yang Shu was!
Unbeknownst to them, after Zhang Ye's Studio was established, the last thing he needed to worry about was a lack of bodyguards!
There was Zhang Ye, Yang Shu, and Rao Aimin. How many people in the world would be able to barge into this place? Even if a martial arts grandmaster came to kill them, they would have to come in standing and leave lying down. Zhang Ye's Studio was definitely a place that was even safer than the Huashan Sect, Shaolin Monastery, and the other large sects. Whether it was Rao Aimin's name or Zhang Ye's name, they were both existences that struck fear into the hearts of everyone in the Chinese martial arts world!
