Just like the previous "limited to 100 million for network use", this time the task also exceeded the standard task amount, and the maximum limit was 3 billion right from the start.

In addition, the restrictions on the funded persons have been relaxed, and multiple people can be invested in, which means that the feedback ratio will be greater than before, and getting rich is just around the corner.

But the fact that "it can only be used to purchase fixed assets" did indeed put Shengquan in a difficult position.

It is not difficult to find fixed assets for sale. A building is a fixed asset, various equipment are fixed assets, and even books are fixed assets. However, it is difficult to find those with a value of more than 1.5 billion.

Who would sell such a high-value fixed asset if it was not in a loss-making state? She could buy a building, but don't forget that the mission funds can only be used for the funded person, and the person must have excellent character. Buying a building is easy, but what happens after buying it?

If you try your best, this task can be done.

But it was so hard to get such a task with "almost no restrictions and high feedback", Sheng Quan couldn't just sloppily pass it.

After "War of the Worlds", Star Entertainment has once again entered a period of rapid development. After absorbing a group of artists, it is now a period of high investment, pouring huge sums of money into new projects, waiting for a long or short period of time to give feedback.

In the future, Xingmang Entertainment will inevitably fall into a period of silence.

But Sheng Quan doesn't want it to remain silent.

She flipped through the fixed asset information on the tablet, then looked at the hot search records of the past five years collected by her assistant, and she really saw a lot of familiar faces.

Sheng Quan searched and found that although she did not deliberately change the fate of these people, as Xingmang Entertainment developed better and better, some characters in the original work were more or less positively affected.

"The Road of Life", "The Cultivator" and "Star Wars" are just three of the most outstanding works in the past two years. There are many more movies and TV series invested and produced by Star Entertainment.

Because of Sheng Quan's influence, no matter how big or small these crews are, their style has basically remained decent. After all, everyone knows that what the big boss hates most is all kinds of "unwritten rules", and Xingmang Entertainment has always been her one-man show.

No matter from top to bottom, Mr. Sheng's wishes are carried out 100%.

——Star Entertainment’s casting is based on ability first.

This rule was laughed at by many as "pretentious" when the company was first established, but Star Entertainment actually persisted with it and it has become the last straw in the eyes of many talented artists without background.

I have to say that Xingmang Entertainment has really refined the audience's vision.

There were companies that made high-quality dramas in the past, but high-quality dramas meant high investments and could not generate returns as quickly as other dramas, so they were easily dragged down by the dramas currently in production.

As a result, Xingmang Entertainment spent money here and there, and not only was it not dragged down by the funds, but it actually brought them high returns.

In addition, the old company Bluebird was also purged from top to bottom at the instruction of Chairman Xie Wanzhao.

Those small companies that used to act without scruples are now more particular than before. After all, everyone used to make bad dramas, and even if the audience criticized them, they still watched them. But now with Starlight and Bluebird as comparison, the situation is different.

In just two years, it’s hard to say anything else, but the atmosphere in the acting community is indeed visibly improving.

If the entertainment industry used to be a place where talented actors had to wait for opportunities occasionally, then in the past two years, opportunities have been falling like meteor showers.

As long as they are willing to catch them, they can always catch one or two.

Just looking at the "familiar people" that Sheng Quan had seen in the original novel, although not all of them were famous, they were not suppressed and unable to move like in the original text.

After looking around like this, Sheng Quan was in a good mood.

The minor characters who had appeared briefly in the book now had their own new lives of hard work and progress under the butterfly effect caused by her, which felt pretty good.

After getting off the plane and walking outside, Jiang Lu slightly turned sideways and stood in front of Sheng Quan: "There are reporters."

Sheng Quan was quite puzzled: "Reporter? Are they here to target me?"

It doesn't make sense. Although she is famous, she is not a star who needs to appear on camera often. Besides, she always takes a private helicopter when traveling in Shanghai. There is no gossip about her and she cannot be caught up by public transportation, so the paparazzi are naturally not very interested in her.

She is popular, but she is a homebody. Some reporters have followed her before, and it happened that Sheng Quan was watching TV series at home during that period. After following her for more than two months, they only photographed her going out once, and that was to attend a large-scale event where all kinds of media would be present.

The time cost is not proportional to the reward, and gradually, no one goes to stake out Shengquan.

At most, whenever a major event occurs, the media will block her for interviews. Under normal circumstances, there will be no paparazzi around Director Sheng.

Not to mention such small activities that won’t even make it to the hot searches.

Sheng Quan was more inclined to believe that they were here to ambush others. She tilted her head and asked her assistant, "Are there any other public figures coming to Fangcheng today?"

The tall and cool assistant immediately replied:

"A variety show called 'Happy Travel' is coming to Fangcheng to film, and it will also be linked with our 'Star Wars' event in Fangcheng. The production crew is also on a flight today, and these people should be here to wait for them."

She had obviously done her homework and looked so professional. Who could have told that her main job was actually a bodyguard?

That’s right, this assistant named He Xi was selected from the top students of Xingmang Security.

Originally, her identity as an assistant was just a part-time job, playing a secret role. After all, when people talk about bodyguards, they think of strong men in suits. No one would have thought that the beautiful female assistant beside Sheng Quan was also an excellent bodyguard.

Even Sheng Quan didn't expect that she, a veteran, could do a good job as an assistant, but He Xi had the seriousness that is unique to soldiers. Having never worked as an assistant before, she learned from other assistants around Sheng Quan. She was not familiar with various terms in the entertainment industry, so she became familiar with them one by one.

Almost everyone around Sheng Quan has their own courses. He Xi followed suit and took classes during the holidays. Even among the top students, she was outstanding and surprising.

Ninety-nine percent of the students of Xingmang Security are not afraid of hardship, but it also depends on what kind of hardship they want to endure. For many students, they would rather run obstacle courses with weights and run until they are exhausted, and it is difficult for them to concentrate on learning obscure knowledge.

Only those who study hard know the pain of learning.

He Xi is such a person who studies hard and keeps improving, and she does all this without neglecting her job as a bodyguard.

In just over a year, she transformed herself from "one of the top students selected" to "the most trusted assistant around Mr. Sheng."

Sheng Quan really likes He Xi. Which boss doesn't like hard-working subordinates? Even her boss Zhou Baopi in her previous life was stingy and unwilling to pay overtime, but at the same time he was trying to be nice to her in various ways.

Precisely because of this experience of “efforts in vain”, Sheng Quan’s salary and bonus to He Xi gradually increased as her work scope expanded.

Then, He Xi worked even harder. From the program information she blurted out at this moment , it can be seen that she was extremely attentive to all of Sheng Quan's schedules:

"This program is a large-scale travel experience program launched by Jinju TV. The guests are basically public figures with fame and fans. It ranks 15th in the national variety show rankings. Among the guests in this episode is our Xingmang Entertainment artist Lin Qing."

Sheng Quan actually didn't have much impression. Xingmang Entertainment now has a lot of artists, so she naturally wouldn't be able to name every newly signed artist like she did at the beginning:

"Lin Qing... I remember he debuted as a child star, right?"

"Yes, Lin Qing signed with Xingmang Entertainment after his contract with Wuhua Entertainment expired three months ago. His agent is Zhu Ying."

Sheng Quan felt that Sister He Xi was now truly an all-purpose assistant. With so many people in the company, she even remembered the company of a little-known person named Lin Qingqian. It was obvious that she was always prepared for Sheng Quan's questions.

Who would have thought that when she first started working, she didn't even know who the male and female protagonists of the popular drama were.

Director Sheng couldn't help but look at his capable and cool bodyguard and assistant with admiration:

"Starting this month, your salary will increase by another 5%."

He Xi's cold face was slightly startled, then showed a hint of joy. She had just had a salary increase three months ago, and if it increased by another 5%, she would almost be comparable to the chief assistant.

Even if Sheng Quan no longer needs her one day, these qualifications will be enough for her to get a good position in Xingmang Entertainment.

Outside of working hours, He Xi is not a talkative person. No matter how many words of gratitude she expressed, she couldn't. She could only turn her excitement into action, and she became more determined in her heart to do the job at hand more seriously.

Sheng Quan didn't have much impression of the "Happy Travel" program. Since moving into her new home, her only entertainment activities have been movies and TV series.

She generally doesn't watch variety shows, mainly because there are people she knows in almost every popular variety show. Acting is okay, but this kind of show that is more lifelike and has some traces of performance is too easy to be distracting.

Sheng Quan still remembers that one time she accidentally clicked on a variety show. The first scene was Lin Aike cooking in a hurry and the lid of the pot flew out. She almost laughed to death at the time, and immediately sent a Feixun to Lin Aike to ridicule her.

She didn't plan to join in the fun. Seeing that the reporters carrying cameras didn't seem to notice her, she lowered her hat and said, "Let's go."

Unfortunately, although Ms. Sheng herself is very low-key, the bodyguards around her are too conspicuous.

As soon as he moved, more than a dozen tall, long-legged, narrow-waisted bodyguards followed him. Passersby couldn't help but take a few more glances, not to mention the paparazzi who were already sensitive to hot spots and who were willing to wait in the airport in advance to take pictures of the show guests.

"Who is this? Shouldn't the production crew come out three minutes later? Early? But there's no camera following them."

The paparazzi's eyes lit up instantly.

A paparazzi adjusted his hat and said, "Brother, I smell the heat."

"Sniff your ass, why don't you check who this is!"

Of course, they didn't need to jog all the way over. They just set up their cameras and zoomed in. The young girl who was tightly protected by the bodyguards was vaguely visible:

"Fuck! It's Sheng Quan! Why is she here?!"

"Sheng Quan?!!!"

"Come on, come on, get closer and take a picture! See if you can get a response or two!"

"Brother, are we not going to film this variety show anymore?"

"This variety show is inevitable, and the guests this time are not very famous, so there is nothing to film. If we want to film, we can just wait until they are recording the show. But Sheng Quan is different. She has never made a big move in her appearance, and this time we really caught up with her!"

Obviously, there are quite a lot of paparazzi and photographers who share the same idea as them. The popularity of "Happy Travel" is not very low, but it is not very high either. There are no popular guests in this episode, and it is not difficult to find a schedule and continue filming later. Naturally, they will abandon the show and choose Sheng Quan.

After being photographed so many times, Sheng Quan has become more skilled. She just does her thing while these people take their pictures.

As for the "rampant proxy photography" and "relentless paparazzi" that occasionally break out in entertainment news, they will never appear in her news.

Those of them who have a bad reputation actually treat people differently based on their status.

Sheng Quan is not a small star who makes a living by her fame. She is the chairman of Star Entertainment, which has gradually become a well-known company. She has countless connections in the circle. Not to mention the entertainment reporters, even the major media are polite to her.

Although she doesn't have any newspaper media under her name, who knows how many people she knows? If she makes people angry by taking so many photos, a single word from them might cause them to lose their jobs.

This is not only the case with Sheng Quan, they are also more cautious with Xing Mang's artists than with artists from other companies.

After all, Xingmang is well-known for its wealth and protection of its own artists. Previously, a little-known artist was molested by a veteran actor in the same group during the filming of a small crew. She directly slapped the other person, and the scene was very ugly.

If the actor is somewhat famous, it is normal for the company to protect him, but for a newly signed actor, most companies in the circle will not make a big fuss over such a small matter. At most, they will let the agent go to the crew and suppress the matter.

But Xingmang Entertainment stood behind the young artist throughout the entire process, checked the video, collected evidence, and immediately filed a lawsuit after confirming that the incident was true.

There is no way to sentence the old actor to such a level, but Xingmang has announced that it will not cooperate with him on any of its projects, so other companies will naturally follow suit.

The old actor was originally somewhat famous, and he was very "measured" in his actions. He only took advantage of some newcomers who were not famous, timid, and had no background. He was sure that the company would not care about these unknown little artists.

As a result, I hit a wall.

Going to such lengths for a newly signed, unknown little-known actor, it seems that the young chairman of Star Entertainment's temper is not as good as he appears.

It’s quite funny to say, before this incident happened, the artists of Xingmang would encounter some unscrupulous paparazzi, but after this incident, they seemed to suddenly calm down.

Naturally, facing Sheng Quan, this calmness will only be multiplied by ten.

They kept just the right distance and took various photos without disturbing Sheng Quan. Some people asked questions, but when they didn't get a response, they didn't dare to keep pestering him.

Sheng Quan walked forward smoothly surrounded by her long-legged bodyguards. When she was about to reach the elevator, she suddenly heard a hateful shout:

"Tan Chen!!! Go to hell!!!"

Even though it was obviously not directed at Sheng Quan, this tone of extreme resentment instantly alerted the bodyguards around Sheng Quan. The elevator door opened, and Sheng Quan walked into the elevator. From her perspective, she could see a group of people coming out from the front, including staff, cameras, and some young people who looked very good from a distance.

This should be the travel variety show.

Tan Chen...this name sounds familiar.

Before the elevator door slowly closed, Sheng Quan saw the two people who were cursing were madly throwing vegetables at a man, cursing other names while throwing the vegetables.

Chen Mo, Zhou Ke, Bai Xiangyuan, etc., etc. Sheng Quan at the back didn't hear clearly, but the speed of these two people's speech was also amazing. They scolded seven people in half a minute:

"Are you guys worthy of us?! You can even lose a game like this!!"

"Shame on China! Do you know how those foreigners laugh at us?"

"Bai Xiangyuan! If you have the guts, don't hide! It was you who made the mistake!! You still have the nerve to call yourself the best bottom laner! Ugh! Retire now! Tan Chen! Get out of my way! I haven't scolded you yet!"

Their main target should not be this Tan Chen, because the other party was standing in front of him and he accepted another round of insults.

And the greens attack.

——Entering the airport requires an explosion-proof inspection, and it is certainly unlikely that they would bring in anything too dangerous.

But Sheng Quan had only seen throwing vegetables on TV dramas.

Although the scene of two people cursing and throwing vegetables at each other was a bit funny, the feeling of being thrown vegetables would not be very good, but looking back, it was actually not that bad.

He should be less than 30 years old, but his temperament is very mature. He is not wearing the clothes of the program crew and is not a guest. His slender figure stands in front of several boys and girls who look only seventeen or eighteen years old. His eyebrows and eyes look very sharp, which makes him look even more handsome.

Compared with the grievance and anger on the faces of the young guests he was protecting, Tan Chen could almost be described as calm.

A piece of vegetable hit him in the face. Even if it was just a vegetable, it would definitely hurt if it hit his face too hard. But he just frowned slightly and reached out to stop the young man behind him who was about to step forward angrily.

He raised his slender fingers and gently took the vegetables down.

Facing the two people's loud cursing, Tan Chen took out a foldable bag from his pocket, unfolded it, put it in, and his beautifully shaped lips moved.

Of course Sheng Quan couldn't hear clearly, but looking at his mouth shape and the two haters' angry expressions, Mr. Sheng, the gossip expert, quickly guessed the answer in his mind: "Thank you."

"No need to buy groceries today."
