Shang Yechu thought for a moment and then said, "In the end, it's because the company has too few promising talents. You should learn from Tianding Entertainment and diversify your efforts to cultivate a few formidable rivals. Look at Zhuang Sheng, he was so domineering when filming 'Happiness Street Chronicles,' but he immediately cowered when he heard that he was going to be replaced. In fact, most of the time, when artists cause trouble on set, it's because the capital has spoiled them. If the production team and the company strengthen their constraints, it can solve 70% to 80% of the problems."

Many artists dare to directly challenge their companies, but it is extremely rare for someone with cerebral palsy to challenge their company because "I can't act like a big shot on set and change the script, so I'm angry, sob sob sob."

“Let’s leave it at that,” Ji Juntao sighed. “I’ll think about it some more.”

Trying to achieve perfection before even starting something only hinders your progress. Nothing in life is ever truly perfect.

Shang Yechu breathed a sigh of relief: "So you agreed?"

“There’s a third question,” Ji Juntao tapped the table, then hesitated for a moment.

Are you worried about the broadcast?

The platform-centric system is indeed a major pain point for domestic film and television. No matter how good the idea is, it will fizzle out if it encounters a platform that likes to insert its own ideas and personal agenda.

"It's not that," Ji Juntao said, coming back to his senses. "If Meta Pictures is coming to us seeking cooperation, they should at least show some sincerity, right? Besides Meta Pictures, that darling online streaming platform that has failed twelve times in a row, what else does Meta Pictures have that we should be envious of?"

At this point, Ji Juntao couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What do you take our company for? You have to worry about everything, and the rest of us are just freeloaders?"

Shang Yechu asked curiously, "Then what do you want to ask?"

"You said you wanted to create new rules." Ji Juntao gestured on the table in front of him. "I won't ask you why, since you're not exactly in the right mind anyway. I'm just asking you, if the new system you want to establish actually succeeds, what if, ten or twenty years later, it becomes just another mountain? What if it becomes a new Tianding Entertainment or Guanjun Century, or even more rigid than it is now?"

Shang Yechu paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why think so much? Maybe I'll be dead in ten years."

Ji Juntao quickly calculated and said, "Oh no, the company will lose money for two years."

“I’m not kidding you anymore.” Shang Yechu said seriously, “I’m serious. If that day ever comes and this system quickly decays and I become a stubborn old man who controls resources and is so stupid that I’m drooling over it, I believe there will be a new group of Yechus, Ye Zao Ye Wan Ye Zhong who will stand up to reform or destroy it.”

New talents emerge in every generation. Just as Shang Yechu disappeared, Song Yuchen will appear.

Before even starting, you want perfect, flawless success with no losses; before even succeeding, you imagine utter failure; so to avoid that outcome, do you simply choose not to do anything at all?

"He's really obsessed," Ji Juntao sighed, shaking his head.

The idea of ​​uniting capital platforms to counter capital's interference in cultural and entertainment creation is so creative that only Shang Yechu could have come up with it.

Ji Juntao was well aware that although Shang Yechu kept saying "trust the system rather than trust people," the essence of this matter was still rule by man. What Shang Yechu relied on was Ji Juntao's decision-making, because Yechu herself did not yet have the scale to turn this wheel of fantasy.

Well, aren't all rules initially established through human intervention? There must be one or a group of powerful leaders who initially enforce them; if it succeeds, it succeeds; if it fails, it fails…

"What if it fails?" Ji Juntao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

“If you fail, learn from your mistakes and try again next time,” Shang Yechu answered quickly, “until you succeed.”

Ji Juntao glared at her and sneered, "You still want to succeed? If you fail, I'll tie you to Qingping Entertainment and make you act in movies and do commercials for the rest of your life to pay off your debts!"
