"Mr. Xiong, there's something I think you should know about. It concerns one of the artists under Mr. Yang's management!"
In a luxurious office.
A young man walked in and spoke to a middle-aged man in a suit sitting in an office chair.
The middle-aged man had a square face and a rather dignified appearance.
This man's name is Xiong Tang. He is one of the directors of Xia Lifeng Film and Television Company, meaning he works for the same company as Boss Yang.
The person who last told Boss Yang that they wanted to reduce the resources for her studio was Xiong Tang.
Upon hearing the young man's words, Xiong Tang asked in a deep voice:
"Which artist under General Manager Yang has been involved, and what exactly happened?"
The young man took out his phone, opened a video on Honggua Video website, and began to explain:
"Mr. Xiong, look, this is the protagonist of the short video that's recently gone viral online, the one named Xu Lu!"
He actually set up some kind of studio outside and made a series of short videos that went viral.
Mr. Xiong, this kind of thing absolutely cannot be tolerated. Our company's artists have actually started their own separate businesses.
If this gets out, what will the other artists think? Will they feel free to act recklessly outside?
It's clear that this young man harbors some resentment towards Xu Lu.
The real reason is that Xu Lu, or rather Boss Yang, had previously taken away some of the resources that belonged to him.
After all, resources are everything to an artist.
Without resources, nothing can be done; with resources, there is a foundation for success!
The young man named Zhou Yu was initially quite pleased to learn a few days ago that Boss Xiong had cut off resources for Xu Lu and his associates.
But what he didn't expect was...
That guy named Xu Lu is incredibly resourceful and also incredibly lucky.
Without any resources from the company, he actually started making short videos on his own.
What's even more upsetting is that this guy's short videos actually went viral.
Zhou Yu consulted with friends who knew about the industry and learned that the traffic revenue generated by these short videos alone amounted to several million yuan, not to mention other intangible brand effects.
So Zhou Yu, who was originally cheerful, became depressed again.
I work hard to make money for the company, but I still haven't become popular.
Most importantly, he signed a contract that was essentially a slave contract, requiring him to work like a slave for the company.
Who knew that the kid named Xu Lu not only signed the most lenient contract, but also one with virtually no restrictions.
Moreover, even when the company wasn't providing resources, the short videos this kid created on his own went viral across the internet.
They made a fortune.
This made Zhou Yu feel extremely unbalanced.
Why should I?
We're all artists under the same name as Xia Lifeng, so why does that kid have such lenient conditions? Why is that kid so popular across the internet?
Since I'm not having a good time, I can't let others have a good time either.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately took the initiative to report the matter to the company's directors when he realized that they hadn't noticed it yet.
Although he himself may not gain anything from this matter, it is not necessarily a bad thing to make others suffer a great loss!
This is what they call "I'm happy to harm others for my own benefit"!
Not to mention Zhou Yu, who was already feeling a little excited, Boss Xiong's face also darkened after watching a short video.
The reason he took a certain risk some time ago was to reduce the resources available to Boss Yang.
Isn't it all about transferring all the artists from the other studio to Xia Lifeng's name?
I originally thought that as long as there was no supply of film and television resources, those artists would naturally not be able to stand being 'frozen' after a while.
Even if the company offers the most stringent contracts, they will definitely sign them reluctantly in order to become famous and have a bright future.
Who knew that Xiong Tang would suddenly discover that something unexpected had happened.
This artist named Xu Lu became famous through short videos without any company resources!
"Damn it! If this guy is a contracted employee of the company, all the popularity and profits should belong to the company."
No, such talented individuals must be signed to a company to generate greater profits for the company!
Xiong Tang had a stern face, his mind filled with all sorts of thoughts.
When his gaze fell upon a document on the table.
Xiong Tang's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea instantly formed in his mind:
"No one who chooses to be an actor doesn't want to be famous, no one doesn't want to be a big star."
"Then I'll use the protagonist of a movie as bait. I bet this kid named Xu Lu won't take the bait!"
Thinking of this, Xiong Tang's expression relaxed, and he nodded, saying:
"Xiao Zhou, you did a great job. I already know what happened."
"The company must absolutely prevent Xu Lu's behavior of disregarding the company's interests and only caring about making money outside."
"Mr. Xiong is absolutely right. I think people like Xu Lu must be severely punished, otherwise he will completely corrupt the company's atmosphere!"
Zhou Yu quickly smiled obsequiously and echoed.
Xiong Tang gave the other person an approving look and said:
"Okay, Xiao Zhou, tomorrow you'll come with me to meet this artist named Xu Lu. There are some things I need to say to him in person."
Since you're following Xu Lu, you must know where to find him, right? Then I'll leave this arrangement to you.
"Huh? Hand it over...hand it over to me?"
