Just as Li Chuan was completely baffled, his older brother sent him a video, which was from the Penglai TV program "Entertainment Explosion".
He clicked on it and saw that, oh, it had been dug up by the media. Wait, isn't Penglai TV part of CEO Lin's Feiyang Entertainment?
"Brother, that can't be right. President Lin is a very nice person. He even worked with me on the 'dark cuisine' project before. This project is making money very quickly now, and the same mini-game that President Lin sold to me has been updated with a new mini-map, and it's bringing in quite a bit of money... Brother, that's not what I meant. It's just that it's possible that one of his subordinates reported it, and President Lin didn't know about it."
Li Chuan's elder brother, Li Yishan, was furious. His foolish younger brother had taken advantage of someone offering him a bone, thinking they were a good person. Why didn't their Li Group have a single capable successor?!
The outside world still thinks that Li Yishan has all the power and does not allow others to interfere. Look at these good-for-nothings and useless people. His sons, nephews and brothers, none of them are reliable. He should be grateful if they can just stay at home and be good-for-nothings. They are all useless people who still want to interfere in the company.
Li Chuan was already the tallest among these short people, his advantage being that he was obedient and law-abiding. The rest of them were all scoundrels, always threatening to kill each other. If he didn't know that Li's Group was an e-commerce platform, he would have thought it was some kind of assassination platform.
All these foolish people and those with strange ideas should be packed up and sent abroad. Staying in the country will only make them stumbling blocks in the future.
But Li Yishan never expected that his younger brother Li Chuan, who was usually honest and obedient, could be so foolish!
Li Yishan suppressed his anger. He couldn't get angry, he couldn't get angry. If he fell, the Li Group would be gone. If he died directly, that would be one thing, but he was afraid of getting paralyzed or having a stroke. He would have to watch these idiots ruin his hard work while he was in bed, and they would still be eating peanuts.
"In short, I've sent you the valuation. You absolutely must acquire Platform M. Their variety show department can fill the gap in Platform Y's lack of expertise in variety shows."
Li Chuan weakly retorted, "Don't we have President Lin? If we want to film a variety show, we can just collaborate with President Lin..."
But he only dared to mutter it in a low voice.
Li Yishan, sitting opposite, naturally heard Li Chuan's self-righteous mutterings and felt the veins on his forehead become even more prominent.
The new screenwriter at Feiyang Entertainment looked at the keywords on the script, feeling quite bewildered. "Master, you're finally back!"
He Yue heard from her colleagues that General Manager Lin had a new assignment, so she rushed back from the filming location of "Chinese Horror".
"The request Mr. Lin made feels... a bit..."
He Yue took the notebook and started reading.
The screenwriter standing to the side was a little uneasy. She felt that President Lin wasn't as capable as she thought, and she was afraid that her mentor would be upset.
"As expected of President Lin, a benchmark in the industry, he is still as unconventional as ever."
"ah?!"
He Yue laughed, looking at the somewhat surprised screenwriter Zhang Xin beside her, "President Lin's way of thinking is indeed a bit different from that of ordinary people like us. It may seem difficult to understand, but if you think about it carefully, you will be able to discover President Lin's intention."
He Yue patiently explained, "For a happy ending, the male and female leads still suffer a lot. Isn't this a typical redemption story in the entertainment industry? Both of them are going through a lot of hardship, but they find warmth in each other..."
Zhang Xin was puzzled, "But in redemption dramas, don't the two people end up happier? How can they suffer even more?"
"Isn't this just a typical redemption story on the market? But Feiyang Entertainment is at the forefront of the industry; others are always learning from us. I know you're new to the company, and your mindset might be a little out of sync, but think about it carefully: can two people who have always suffered really keep each other warm forever, even if they're together?"
Zhang Xin somewhat agreed, but she still asked, puzzled, "Then why not make a tragedy like before?"
"Well, I don't know either, but Mr. Lin must have a deeper meaning in doing this."
A thought popped into He Yue's mind: everyone in the company knew that President Lin had been summoned for a meeting; could it be that the TV station headquarters required a happy ending?
If that's the case, then she understands what President Lin means.
[What about Feiyang Entertainment's new projects?! Don't be so lazy!]
[Wait, how long has "The Sundial" been offline?]
[The main problem is that I've been using up all my "ten-thousand-yuan household" (a term for someone who earns over ten thousand yuan) food for a long time, and my child (a character in the game) is out of new food! Director Lin, please produce more food soon!]
[I found out, Feiyang Entertainment has a new project in development, a sweet romance drama called "Never to Meet Again in This Life".]
【Seriously?! Another sweet romance drama?! It's like luring people in only to rip them off! Director Lin, are you trying to be ruthless?! How do you even make a sweet romance drama that isn't a tragedy?! Tell me!!】
The director of the TV station looked at the project approval documents in his hand. "A sweet romance drama called 'Never to Meet Again'?"
Secretary Zhao nodded.
The station director swallowed hard. Feiyang Entertainment was notorious for its tragedies. They were known as the "Knife King" in the industry. No one was on guard against sweet romance dramas, but who would have thought that Lin Xiaoxiao would start by punching and kicking people, redefining the sweet romance drama genre.
It became a huge hit, which led to many imitations in the industry, resulting in today's sweet romance dramas no longer being the simple sweet romance dramas they used to be.
The trend of copycat sweet romance dramas is all messed up. People only see that the entire cast of Feiyang Entertainment's drama is gone, but they don't see that other plot lines were laid out from the beginning. As a result, viewers are now wary of sweet romance dramas on the market.
"Is it going to be another tragedy? I told Kobayashi about it last time..."
"Director, don't worry, it will definitely be a happy ending."
The station director pressed on, still uneasy, "Really a happy ending? Not the kind of happy ending where everyone is gone?"
Secretary Zhao stood up straight, "It really was a happy reunion where everyone was there."
The station director felt something was off, but he assured everyone that nothing was missing: "The male and female leads end up together, right?"
"Wrapped together."
"Then why is it called 'Never to Meet Again in This Life'? This title doesn't sound like it's going to be a happy ending."
"The name should be based on the plot, so should we change the title of the show?"
The station manager shook his head, putting aside his unease, and let it go. There was no other way; ever since the last investigation, the green channel had become a system where the station manager himself would conduct the reviews. Of course, if it were another company, the station manager might not have been willing to do so.
But this is Feiyang Entertainment, backed by the military. It's acceptable for him to take on more responsibility and protect the young and outstanding talents.
I heard the military has some new moves going on recently. We need to get Lin Xiaoxiao to finish filming this sweet romance drama as soon as possible so we can handle the military's mission.
Lin Xiaoxiao was also surprised when she saw the title of the drama. "Never to Be Seen Again in This Life" was approved?!
How respected she must be in the station director's eyes! How high her credibility must be! Her conscience was aching slightly.
