Chapter 396 Abandoned

Once the surveillance video was released, it immediately caused an uproar, and netizens rushed into the comment section and launched a heated discussion:

"Yangzi is so unkind. If he had released the video earlier, there wouldn't have been so many problems!"

"I think Du Chun is the worst. He was arguing with netizens and telling everyone to wait for a slap in the face! MD, I have to go to his Weibo to vent."

"Yang Zi is so brave. She is still a student, but she has the courage to speak up for justice."

"Du Chun's behavior is hilarious! If you are a brother, you should stab him twice, right? He really stabs me in the back!"

As the public opinion turned around, those celebrities who had previously stood on the sidelines were instantly slapped in the face and quietly deleted their Weibo posts.

The noisy night finally passed, and the next morning, inside Tengda Culture Company.

Wang Luodan pushed open the door of the conference room and found that all the artists in the company had arrived. She was the last one to arrive. She quietly walked to the conference table and sat down, waiting for Liu Rong to arrive.

About five minutes later, Liu Rong walked into the conference room and sat directly in the main seat.

His eyes were like torches, scanning the entire place, and finally he stopped his gaze on Wang Luodan, snorting coldly: "Congratulations, Wang Luodan! You have successfully obtained the title of Dharma Protector of the Stabbing Goddess."

Wang Luodan's face flushed, and she was speechless due to embarrassment. Last night, a netizen compiled a list of people who had stabbed her in the back. Unfortunately, she was on the list and was awarded the title of female protector!

Now, she has become the focus of ridicule from the entire network. Among all the stars who support Bian Xiaoxiao, she has the highest status and the greatest popularity, so she has suffered the most severe backlash from public opinion.

Liu Rong's expression was stern, and his tone was serious: "You all read the report forwarded yesterday!"

Everyone lowered their heads and responded in a low voice: "I saw it."

Liu Rong was furious and rebuked loudly: "In front of CCTV, Huaxin News Agency, People's Daily, the most authoritative official media in the country, Mr. Song was questioned for occupying public resources because of your trivial matter! The company's brand image has been ruined by you!"

Seeing this, Yang Tianzhen hurriedly tried to comfort him: "Boss Liu, calm down! They have already deleted their Weibo posts. After a few days, the heat will die down and the matter will be settled."

Liu Rong was filled with anger at the moment, criticizing everyone he caught: "Yang Tianzhen, the artist management department should also review this matter! Your department is responsible for supervising artist Weibo accounts, why didn't you stop these inappropriate behaviors in time! "

The big stars who usually enjoy great glory lowered their heads even lower, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear of getting into trouble.

Yang Tianzhen looked helpless. She only had the authority to supervise in theory, but several big stars were now first-tier stars and had opened studios. They were nominally operating independently, so she was powerless to supervise.

"Wang Luodan!" Liu Rong's eyes were cold, and his tone was calm but full of pressure, "I'd like to hear what you were thinking at the time, and why did you jump out and get involved for no apparent reason?

Jia Nailiang and others are either speaking up for their classmates or trying to suppress Ying Xiaotian for resources. What is your purpose in getting involved in this storm? Are you familiar with Bian Xiaoxiao? "

Wang Luodan was stunned for a long while before he stammered to explain: "I was impulsive at the time and wanted to speak up for women, but I didn't expect to be deceived by Bian Xiaoxiao."

Liu Rong's expression became increasingly grim: "Then why did you confront Yang Zi when she reprimanded Du Chun? Aren't you from the same company?"

"Me!" Wang Luodan looked embarrassed.

In fact, she was just hot-headed at the time and wanted to show her authority as the number one sister of Tengda in front of netizens, so she taught Yang Zi a lesson. However, she didn't expect that a little newcomer would dare to talk back. In a fit of impulse, she started quarreling with Yang Zi.

Seeing Wang Luodan's expression, Liu Rong understood what was going on, and then shouted, "Lü Yi!"

Before the president could say anything, Lu Yi replied with a sad face: "Boss Liu, I really clicked the "like" button accidentally, and I cancelled it as soon as I found out."

Liu Rong stared at Lu Yi, unable to judge whether her words were true or false.

Yang Zi and Zhao Liying looked at each other secretly, feeling uneasy and nervously waiting for Liu Rong's judgment.

Liu Rong continued to call out names: "Yang Zi! Zhao Liying!"

"Yes." They said in unison.

"Now that public opinion has reversed, you are the righteous side. Since ancient times, victors have been kings and losers have been bandits. I know everything about the matter, so I won't say much, but this will not happen again!"

Yang Zi and Zhao Liying breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They had finally passed this stage with great difficulty.

Liu Rong looked solemn and sternly admonished: "You are all glamorous stars out there now, enjoying unlimited glory! But please be careful with your words and actions, and use your mind and brains when speaking and doing things!"

"Got it!" "Understood, Mr. Liu!" Everyone responded quickly.

"The decision on Wang Luodan's punishment will be officially issued in a few days. Everyone should take it as a warning."

Liu Rong glanced around the conference room, gave a few more instructions, and then adjourned the meeting: "Boss Yang, please stay for a moment!"

After several celebrities left the conference room, Liu Rong got straight to the point: "After careful consideration of the punishment for Wang Luodan, I have decided to completely cut off all her resources in the company."

This decision shocked Yang Tianzhen extremely, and the punishment was indeed severe!

Cutting off Tengda Culture’s resource support means that Wang Luodan will have to work hard to develop film and television invitations, business cooperation, and fashion resources in the future, which is tantamount to being completely abandoned by the company.

Yang Tianzhen considered it again and again, and carefully persuaded: "Boss Liu, Luo Dan is the first female artist of the company after all. It is not easy to train her to be a first-line artist. Isn't it a pity to give up directly?"

Liu Rong said calmly, "This isn't her first offense, she was punished by Zhang Zhao to close down for a period of time.

If any of the company's artists think that they can bargain with the company because of their high status and fame, they are completely wrong!

In addition to Yang Zi, the company now has six first-tier and two quasi-first-tier people. Losing her won’t have much of an impact! "

Seeing the leader's firm attitude, Yang Tianzhen didn't dare to say anything more and could only respond: "I understand."

"Although Tengda Culture is a large company, it is still a bit difficult to support eight first-tier artists with limited resources, especially female artists. Several of them are of similar age, and the competition for fashion and business is particularly fierce."

Liu Rong stopped at that point, but Yang Tianzhen understood what he meant. When internal resources are insufficient, those artists who are not likable and do not share the same aspirations as the company are destined to be abandoned.

Wang Luodan was punished twice, and coupled with his performance during the previous internal subscription of shares, he eventually became the first victim.

It is not difficult for Yang Tianzhen to foresee that what awaits Wang Luodan will be a drastic downgrade in resources, and whether he can maintain his top-tier status depends on fate.

Liu Rong paused and looked directly at his subordinate: "Boss Yang, I know you have the idea of ​​starting a business. Now there is an opportunity. Are you willing to try it?"

Yang Tianzhen was about to explain: "Mr. Liu, I..."

Liu Rong raised his hand to interrupt: "Listen to me! Since the establishment of Tengda Culture, the chairman has not been interested in artist management. It was COO Wang Jing who strongly promoted the company to start the artist management business.

But today, the artist management business is like chicken ribs to the company, and it is a general trend for stars to open studios. After careful consideration and communication with the COO, I decided to separate the artist management sector from Tengda Culture and set up a subsidiary. "

Yang Tianxin's heartbeat quickened. She had guessed the other party's intention and asked excitedly, "You want me to become a partner of this artist management company?"

"Yes!" Liu Rong said bluntly, "In the Internet age, every move of a star will be infinitely magnified.

If an artist behaves inappropriately, the company's image will be affected and suffer losses. Therefore, in principle, Tengda Culture will no longer sign new artists in the future."

Why do I say in principle? Because at Tenda, Boss Song is the principle.

"Can the new company enjoy the resource support of Tengda Culture?" Yang Tianzhen asked with concern. If the artist brokerage business wants to become bigger and stronger, the first core is the supply of film and television resources.

"sure."

Yang Tianzhen thought about it and then asked, "Will the agency of several people in the company be transferred to the new company?"

"No!" Liu Rongyao denied, adding, "If they choose to renew their contract with Tengda after the contract expires, the company will continue to accept them."

"Mr. Liu, I have another question. How will the shareholding ratio of the new company be arranged?"

"Depending on the investment, Tengda Culture will retain at least 51% of the controlling stake, and we will not interfere in the daily operations."

The generous conditions made Yang Tianzhen's eyes flash with surprise, and she immediately expressed her attitude: "Thanks to Mr. Liu's trust, I am willing to give it a try and accept this challenge."

"Then it's settled! You can start preparing for the establishment of the new company."

Liu Rong was about to get up and leave when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you should accompany Ma Xin to Beihang University tomorrow."

Yang Tianzhen was stunned: "Beihang?"

"The champion of last year's Headline Star Campus Beauty Contest was a freshman from Beihang University. Ma Xin searched among the new generation of actors but didn't choose the heroine of "Left Ear".

Finally, I have my eyes on that beautiful girl from Beihang University and I want to meet her in person. You can also go and meet her. If she is willing to enter the entertainment industry, you can try to sign her to the new company. "

"I see. Then I will go to Beihang University tomorrow to meet this most beautiful girl on campus."

No. 22, in the auditorium of Peking University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class. School beauty Chen Duling hugged her textbooks and was about to return to the dormitory when she received a call from her class teacher.

After a while, Chen Duling came to the door of the head teacher's office, knocked and entered.

Seeing a strange face in the head teacher's office, he was slightly surprised: "Teacher Li, you are looking for me?"

Teacher Li nodded, pointed at the student and introduced her to the guests with a smile: "Director Ma, President Yang, this is Chen Duling."

From the moment Chen Duling walked in, Ma Xin had already been sizing up this campus beauty from Beihang University.

Although the girl was only wearing a simple school uniform, her outstanding appearance could not be concealed. Her pure and quiet bookish air was like a gentle breeze in spring, giving people a sense of beautiful, peaceful comfort.

"Chen Duling, let me introduce you. This is Director Ma Xin. The movie 'Charlotte's Troubles' which recently broke the 1 billion box office was produced by Director Ma. This is Mr. Yang from Tengda Company."

Chen Duling didn't understand what was going on, but still greeted politely: "Hello, Director Ma, Hello, President Yang."

"Hello, classmate Chen, please sit down and talk." Yang Tianzhen was quite enthusiastic. She vaguely saw the shadow of Yijie in Chen Duling's face. However, the two had slightly different temperaments. The proprietress was gentle and dignified, while the girl in front of her was cold and quiet.

After they got to know each other, Ma Xin asked, "Student Chen Duling, have you read the novel "Left Ear"? "

"The Left Ear!" Chen Duling's eyes lit up. Isn't this her favorite novel? "I've read it."

"It's good that you've seen it." Ma Xin smiled even more and got straight to the point. "Student Chen, I plan to adapt "The Left Ear" into a movie, but I haven't found a favorite female lead until I saw your photo.

I came here to meet you in person today. I found that your image and temperament are highly consistent with the "little ears" in the book. So, I would like to invite you to play the leading female role in the movie."

"Making a movie?" Chen Duling opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right."

"But I studied aircraft manufacturing and have never been exposed to acting. Can I do it?" Chen Duling subconsciously looked at the head teacher, hoping that he could give her some advice.

Teacher Li smiled gently and said, "Chen Duling, you make your own decision on this matter. Since Director Ma Xin has chosen you, you don't have to worry about the performance. He will guide you."

Chen Duling bit her lower lip, hesitant for a moment. But there was a faint desire in her heart, a desire to break through herself, a desire to try a different memory of youth.

Seeing Chen Duling's tangled face, Ma Xin did not urge her, but patiently persuaded her: "Student Chen, it will take about a month to shoot the movie.

Life is always full of surprises and surprises. You can regard this opportunity to make a movie as a special gift to your youth.

I auditioned hundreds of people in the entertainment industry and was not satisfied with any of them. In the end, I chose you based on just a photo. Isn't this fate?

And seeing you in person, I am even more certain that you are the perfect choice for the female lead of "Left Ear". I believe Mr. Song will agree with my choice. "

Chen Duling tilted her head: "Mr. Song? Is it Song Ci?"

"That's right. Mr. Song is the author of the original novel, and the final selection requires his approval."

"Can I meet him?" Chen Duling looked expectant. "I'm a huge fan of his books. I've read every one of his books several times."

Ma Xin was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the school beauty of Beihang University was also a loyal fan of the chairman. He then smiled and said, “Mr. Song is very busy and it is difficult to see him normally.

But if you are willing to be the heroine of "Left Ear", I can ask for you. As for whether Mr. Song is willing to meet you, I can't guarantee it."

Chen Duling looked a little disappointed: "Director Ma, can you let me think about it? I need to discuss this with my family and my tutor."

At this time, Teacher Li interjected: "Director Ma, President Yang, Chen Duling has a connection with Chairman Song of your company. Her major is aircraft manufacturing, and her professional mentor is Professor Liu, Chairman Song's mother.

Professor Liu likes Du Ling very much. He took her to do research projects in her freshman year and agreed to let her study for a master's degree. From Professor Liu's perspective, Du Ling is still Chairman Song's junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xin's eyes flashed with surprise, then he smiled and said, "Then classmate Chen is even more of a family member! With this relationship, I think as long as you are willing to be the heroine of the movie, Director Song will definitely be willing to meet your little sister."

(What do you think, should Chen Duling enter the entertainment industry, or build a rocket for the male lead?)
