Kyoto, Shenxin Entertainment, conference room.
The sun is scorching outside the window, and the wind is freezing cold inside.
"Isn't the air conditioner on too low?"
In a conference room filled with more than twenty people, Zhang Chengliang, director of the Film and Television Department's Planning Department, muttered to himself.
"Minister Zhang, I'm afraid it's not that the air conditioner is turned down too low, but that you're feeling cold inside, right?"
Zhou Xiaoming, the head of the Human Resources Department sitting next to him, responded in a low voice.
"Old Zhou, are you hinting at something?"
Zhang Chengliang looked at Zhou Xiaoming with a smile, and the two smiled at each other.
They are old friends, having applied for the same position at Shenxin Entertainment.
At that time, Shenxin was not one of the three famous entertainment giants it is today, but just a small record company.
Later, with the efforts of Zhang Chengliang and Zhou Xiaoming, Shenxin Records finally grew and developed step by step and became the current Shenxin Entertainment that spans the music and film and television circles.
However, Shenxin's development has encountered some obstacles in the past year.
Not only did he lose his dominance in the music industry, but his first attempt to invest heavily in expanding his presence in the film and television industry also failed.
Today's meeting of all department heads of the company is probably to deal with the current situation.
Vice President Chen Qiao, who was to chair the meeting, had not arrived yet, so everyone sat quietly waiting.
However, the middle-level managers present were in different moods. Yang Yu from the publicity and promotion department was fidgeting, while Zhang Chengliang and Zhou Xiaoming were relatively relaxed.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, have you noticed that Aiyao now looks a bit like Shen Xin when we first joined the company?"
Zhang Chengliang suddenly said.
"Hiss." Zhou Xiaoming thought about it and couldn't help but gasp. "You're right. Back then, we replaced Luoshi Entertainment. Do you think Aiyao will kill us in the future?"
Luoshi Entertainment was once a giant in the entertainment industry, but was later defeated by Shenxin, a new generation of entertainment companies.
Now, many old employees of Shenxin see their former selves in Aiyao.
"What are you afraid of? We are experienced old men. We won't starve to death wherever we go. The worst that can happen is that we can go to Ai Yao for help."
Zhang Chengliang chuckled and whispered:
"I heard that Lin Yao treats her subordinates very well. Do you remember Tianhai's former CEO secretary? The pretty one, the first one to follow Lin Yao and switch jobs. Oh, yes, her name is Li Li. She just bought an Audi the day before yesterday!"
"Oh, that little secretary. I remember her. Is she doing so well now?"
Zhou Xiaoming was a little surprised, and then asked:
"Old Zhang, why aren't you nervous at all? With the box office at the end of the road being so dismal, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the film and television department?"
Zhang Chengliang snorted, "What does our Film and Television Department have to do with this? It was the higher-ups who made the final decision on the project, and it was also the higher-ups who chose Zhang Xuyuan. Can you really blame our Film and Television Department?"
At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open. A female secretary in a uniform and miniskirt pushed the door open, and Chen Qiao, who was wearing a thick wig and a slightly bloated figure, walked in.
Seeing Mr. Chen's gloomy face, the people who were chatting in low voices immediately fell silent.
Chen Qiao stood at the main seat of the U-shaped conference table and took a stack of A4 paper handed to him by the female secretary.
Bang!
He slammed the documents in his hand onto the table, his mouth spitting out foam, and he opened fire:
"This is the box office results the statistics department just checked. It's almost five in the afternoon now, and 'The End of the Road' has only grossed less than 10 million today!
The other side has 200 million!!
In a few days, their daily box office will be higher than our cumulative box office!
Do you feel proud?!
How about your face? Does it feel hot and painful?
I'm not angry at all, I just want to say one thing: every single one of you here is trash, trash!!"
The conference room was dead silent. A group of smart and capable Shenxin middle-level employees had grim expressions and kept their heads down in silence.
Some people couldn't help but think angrily: No wonder Mr. Chen didn't sit down when he came in. It turned out that he just wanted to scold us who were sitting there as losers?
Damn, the leader is really thoughtful!
After finishing a wave of output, Chen Qiao seemed to be in a much better mood, and then he sat down with satisfaction.
He looked around at everyone and said slowly, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
Seeing this, Chen Qiao directly called out: "Minister Zhou, do you have any ideas?"
"Mr. Chen, I've been busy with the shareholder meeting that Mr. Li assigned me, so I'm not very familiar with the film and television industry. Which movie grossed 200 million yuan in a single day?"
Zhou Xiaoming looked confused, as if he was not the one discussing Ai Yao with Zhang Chengliang just now.
When Chen Qiao heard him mention Li Zheng, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he stopped making things difficult for him.
Zhang Chengliang secretly gave Zhou Xiaoming a thumbs up and said, "Good job, Zhou, your acting is awesome!"
"Zhang Chengliang, you are the head of the film and television department, please tell me."
Chen Qiao called out Zhang Chengliang's name again.
Zhang Chengliang was startled, and immediately sat up straight and answered seriously:
"Mr. Chen, The End of the Road is actually of good quality, but today's audiences prefer comedies, and some of our leading actors really let it down.
I think we don't need to worry about the gains and losses of a city or a place. At the end of July, we have "Sword of Love in the Immortal Mountain" to be broadcast. Many satellite TV stations want to introduce this drama. Even Apple TV, where Fang Xiaole works, is negotiating with us for the first round of broadcast rights.
This show will definitely turn things around, so I don’t think we need to worry too much.”
This was the speech Zhang Chengliang had thought of a long time ago, and his impassioned speech at this time was indeed quite impressive.
"Hehe, do you know what other dramas are going to be on in July?"
