"Boss, everyone is here, we can begin."
Zhang Xiaopang smiled obsequiously at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng nodded, smiled at the crowd below the stage, cleared his throat, and began to speak:
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet."
As soon as he spoke, the audience fell silent. Chen Feng was very satisfied with this, which showed that the heads of various departments in Fengyu were very disciplined.
"This is the first time since the establishment of our Fengyu that we have held a full meeting. You can also think of it as a belated annual meeting. Due to well-known reasons, the originally planned annual meeting was canceled, so we are making up for it here."
"Fengyu Company was established for half a year. At first, it mainly made profits from the music sector, and quite a lot of them. This year, we plan to invest a total of 10 billion yuan to enter the entire entertainment industry. We have also established several departments including novels, film and television, and games. It can be said that Fengyu's development is very rapid."
"Whom should we thank first here?"
The audience erupted in cheers.
"Fengshen and Chairman Li!"
"I don't need to thank you. The main thanks go to Chairman Li. Well, Chairman Li couldn't come today because of something else. Also, I would like to thank all the singers, general agents and all the staff in our music division. The overall development of Fengyu wouldn't have been possible without everyone's contributions."
The audience, including the music section led by Li Zongsheng and Zhang Xiaopang, were visibly excited.
"To make a long story short, let's start with the music sector this year. Here, we need to pay special attention to the music sector. I hope your profits this year will be four times that of the first half of last year. This is a very challenging task."
"That Mr. Li Zongsheng, I wonder if you have any confidence?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention, Mr. Li Zongsheng has taken on the role of director of the distribution department at Fengyu Music this year. Let's give him a warm welcome."
After a round of applause, Li Zongsheng stood up. He looked quite calm, after all, he had been in the music industry for decades and had seen all sorts of things.
"Well, first of all, thank you all for your support. As for income, to be honest, I don't care much about it and I'm not very confident. The reason I agreed to take on the role of music director is mainly related to my ideals."
"As everyone knows, I have always wanted our Chinese music scene to influence the world and rise to prominence, but I never expected that one person could do it. Everyone knows who that person is without me having to say it."
The audience burst into laughter and all looked at Chen Feng.
"But I feel that one person is not enough, and this person said something hurtful to me this year. He said that he probably won't sing this year. After winning the global music competition, he will go and make movies or something."
Li Zongsheng's words shocked everyone present, especially the singers and staff in the music department.
"What? The boss isn't singing anymore?"
"How can this be? He's a legend in the Chinese music scene. If he doesn't sing, how can the music department make a profit?"
Many people were discussing it, but Li Zongsheng's next words put them at ease.
"Well, it's fine if he doesn't sing. At least he promised to write at least a hundred songs for our music department this year, so I don't think it's that difficult to make a profit."
"Actually, thinking about it, this is quite good. It allows more new and veteran singers to sing and helps more singers to go global."
Chen Feng smiled on stage, and Li Zongsheng had great love in his heart. He hoped that Chinese music would rise as a whole, not just for one person. This was also his original intention for taking on the role of music director.
Chen Feng admired this point. In this era of fame and fortune, it is truly admirable to do something without personal gain.
"The ideal of Teacher Li Zongsheng is worth learning from. Actually, I have thought about it a lot. Now I have achieved my goals in music, and I hope to give more opportunities to young people. So this year, the music department will mainly focus on me writing songs and signing singers to sing them. In addition, we need to recruit some songwriters to create new works based on my teaching."
Following a series of work arrangements by the music department, Chen Feng finally announced something else.
"As everyone knows, the preliminary round of the Global Music Competition is next month. In the past, we Chinese-language artists might not even be invited to such competitions, but this year we have two people invited. One is me, and the other is Ying Hua from Huayu."
"Everyone in the competition may bring an assistant singer, so I decided that our Cassiopeia Jane Zhang would be the assistant singer."
As Chen Feng finished speaking, Zhang Liangying stood up, and everyone applauded enthusiastically. Many people looked at her with envy and congratulated her.
Keep in mind that's an international competition; if you win, you'll be a global Cassiopeia. Just like Lin Wei'er, but unfortunately, although Lin Wei'er is Chinese, she holds North American citizenship.
To this day, there is still one person of pure Chinese nationality who has won a global music title in the Chinese music scene.
But this time, Chen Feng gave everyone hope.
As the reminiscences unfolded, Chen Feng discussed the film and television sector, finalizing his vision for ten films and ten television series for the year, emphasizing that quality is more important than quantity.
For this event, Chen Feng specially invited Zhang Yimou, Zhang Jizhong, Feng Xiaogang, Yu Zhen, Cao Can, Xu Zhen, Li Baochang, Zheng Xiaolong, as well as Stephen Chow, who has retired from the entertainment industry but whose legend continues to circulate.
Zhang Jizhong, Yu Zhen, Zheng Xiaolong, Li Baochang, Cao Can, and others were mainly responsible for filming the TV series.
Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Zhen, Zhou Xingxing, and others were mainly responsible for the filming.
These people are basically the most famous TV series and film directors in China. Among them, Zhang Yimou, Cao Can, and Yu Zhen have all worked with Fengyu. The invitation process went very smoothly.
But other directors didn't have it so easy. No matter how great you are, Chen Feng, we make TV series and movies. Your music skills and your poetry and songs are irrelevant to us.
As long as I get paid enough, I'll do anything anyone asks me to film. And before this, Huayu Entertainment offered even more.
But Chen Feng is a man who knows these people are numb to money. What can really drive them crazy is fame, a good script, and popular works.
So, Chen Feng pulled out Jin Yong's "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" in front of Zhang Jizhong. The next day, Zhang Jizhong knelt down, his eyes red, and found Chen Feng, shouting that he didn't want a penny and would pay for the film himself. He said he had never seen such a magnificent and chivalrous story of the martial arts world.
Not only that, he also brought his entire team. He said that all he wanted was fame. The old man was very excited. He had been making TV dramas all his life, and this time he was really going to be a star for a hundred years.
