After chatting with Director Yuan and sipping delicious tea, Lu Hao finally had a clear understanding of the current situation in the film guild.
Lao Wei will retire in two months, mid-July to be exact, which is the custom of the film guild.
As for the current vice presidents, there are not many who are qualified to be competitors, but there are also quite a few, maybe three or four.
Xi Pengcheng, 49 years old, was previously considered Lao Wei's most capable assistant. He had the longest seniority and was the oldest. However, he was a commoner and did not have any deep connections with the upper class. He was even worse than Lao Wei and had worked his way up step by step by accumulating seniority.
…
Feng Jun, 43 years old, is in the prime of his life. He was a well-known director with a national reputation and a leader among the third generation of directors. He also directed CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. Apart from anything else, at least his status in the director circle is one level higher than Lu Hao. He was previously involved in scandals of extramarital affairs and illegitimate children, and became a rat crossing the street. His popularity declined drastically. He made several movies in a row that all flopped, so he simply came to the Film Guild to retire.
Now I am just waiting for my second spring as the president.
…
As for the third one, she is a shining existence. Wang Yi, female, 29 years old, was once a well-known host of the First Media and hosted the famous talk show "Entertainment Circle Things". The scale of her talk show is unparalleled. She has exposed the scandals of many well-known artists. She is basically equivalent to the Discipline Inspection Commission of the entertainment industry.
Later, because the impact was too great, the program was discontinued and he was transferred to the Film Association as vice president, with the word "executive" in front of his title, in charge of daily work, especially film censorship and celebrity scandals. In short, he was very fierce.
Although she is a lesbian, she has always been known for her impartiality and tough approach. In addition, her background is very strong. Even Wei Changhong usually gives her some leeway.
…
In fact, in the eyes of Yuan Xingwang, the office director, although Wang Yi is the youngest and has the least experience, he is the most promising candidate for president.
Nothing else.
There is someone up there.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Wang Yi's parents are both in the system. His father is a big shot in the top management of the first media, with a lot of say. His mother is the director of the production department of China Film Online, a first-tier film and television company and a giant state-owned enterprise. To be honest, no one can compete with such a family background.
Although the Film Guild is not an institutional unit, it has many supervisory departments above it. With her family background and foundation, if she really wants to take this position, it may not be as stable as a rock, but it will not be a big problem at all.
"Wang...Yi?"
To be honest, when Lu Hao heard this name, he was a little dazed. He felt vaguely familiar with it. It took him a long time to remember it.
It’s this one!
I have to say that the circle is really too small. Actually, it cannot be said that the circle is small. It mainly depends on what kind of person you are, and you will meet what kind of people.
If I remember correctly, Wang Yi's father is the big-name alumnus of mine at the University of Finance and Economics. I had met him before at an alumni class. Later, when I was involved in a scandal, I asked him to do something for me.
Lu Hao clearly remembered that the big boss wanted to introduce him to his daughter, but he didn't pay much attention to it later. The big boss was busy with his work and naturally didn't ask about it. After he got married, the matter was completely forgotten.
This Wang Yi, perhaps, is his daughter?
"She's twenty-nine. Is she married?"
Lu Hao asked slowly, leaving Yuan Xingwang a little confused.
After a moment of confusion, he squinted his eyes and replied, "No, but there are a lot of people pursuing me, and they often come to my workplace. A while ago, there was a famous young man who was really determined and came over every day. I don't know how far the relationship between the two has developed now."
"Uh... I slipped up again, haha. Of course, I'm just saying this to you, Mr. Lu, please don't blame me."
Yuan Xingwang is truly a very tactful person, expressing his loyalty without showing any emotion. Of course, he may have said this to many people.
Lu Hao shook his head and smiled, not minding.
"Okay, I understand."
"Master Wei should be almost done, right? Should we go out and take a look?"
Lu Hao stood up and prepared to go out. He stood up, thought for a moment, and then asked with a nonchalant smile, "Your tea is quite good. What kind of tea is it?"
"Duyun Queshe is a tea from our hometown. We have old tea trees at home, and all the tea is picked by our family. You can't buy it on the market."
"Wow, the top ten famous teas, can you give me some?"
"That's great. Go find President Wei first, and I'll pack it up for you and put it in the car later."
Yuan Xingwang smiled brightly.
The connection with Lu Hao has been completely established.
How could such a big man, a man worth billions, still need this little tea?
The reason for releasing this attitude is to give myself peace of mind. After all, I am a cultured person and I do things in a very reserved way.
If this were a rough guy, he would probably pat himself on the shoulder and say, "Old Yuan, do a good job, I have high hopes for you, follow me in the future."
…
…
Went out the door.
Lu Hao went straight to Wei Changhong's office. The secretary was still waiting at the door, but the noise inside became more intense. Even through the heavy wooden door, Peng Yunfei's noisy voice could be heard.
Lu Hao clearly saw that there was a small gap in the doors of many offices, probably because they were eavesdropping on the noise.
But no one came out.
No one wants to get into trouble with this kind of thing.
A movie that ranks in the top three in pre-sale box office, according to the estimated box office of this year's May Day holiday, it must have grossed at least 1 billion, or even more. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Even for the Film Guild, this is too unkind.
"Are you still arguing?"
Lu Hao looked at the secretary and asked casually.
The secretary hung his head and nodded weakly. This matter was really tricky. Even Wei Changhong had no idea how to deal with it, so he was naturally helpless.
However, it is foreseeable that today, and even in the next few days, the leader’s mood may not be very good, and I will inevitably be affected by it.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Lu Hao patted his shoulder, thought for a moment, and said so.
Without giving him a chance to refuse, she simply reached out and unlocked the door, pushing it open and walking in.
At this moment, Peng Yunfei looked anxious and irritable as he walked around the room, like a mad wolf, but he just roared and didn't dare to do anything.
As for Lao Wei, he sat steadily in his office chair, holding a cup of wolfberry water and drinking it in small sips. He seemed to be sitting on the Diaoyutai, but in fact, he was helpless and sad.
What can he do?
There is pressure from the competent authorities above and this young man below. There is nothing I can do except to appease both sides.
Seeing Lu Hao coming in, Peng Yunfei was stunned for a moment, and Wei Changhong couldn't help but stand up.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, I'm late in helping you."
"Peng Yunfei, if you make trouble again, I'll kick your ass."
