You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

Celebrities rarely mention their love affairs on their own initiative, especially female celebrities. Usually, they will pretend not to hear when someone cues them.

To put it in a positive way, fans are a group of great young men and women who give silently without asking for anything in return. To put it in a negative way, who knows what fans will imagine their brothers and sisters to be like at night.

The relationship between idols’ boyfriends and girlfriends and their fans is actually very much like that of love rivals, so many celebrities will experience a large number of fans losing or fleeing after announcing their relationship, and some big fans may even take the lead in stepping back.

Li Yiran directly called Le Yan "fiancé" at the event, which created a similar situation.

My sister's favorite person is our fans. What kind of a bastard is her fiancé?!

Complaints aside, everyone knows that Li Yiran’s time in Hong Kong won’t be too long, and each time they see her is one less time. Fans will show their best side in front of her and hope that she can arrange more activities in Hong Kong.

My love for you is a matter between you and me, and your love for Le Yan is a matter between you two. Let's discuss our own matters first, and I will settle the score with him later.

After a brief moment of surprise, the more than 5,000 fans who came to the scene shouted, yelled, and voted, giving enough face to the program team and Li Yiran.

But back home it was a different story.

They each picked up their Italian cannons and fired at Comrade Le Yan.

"Who is Le Yan? How did he win my sister's heart?"

"A little-known artist is worthy of being on equal terms with our Li Yiran? I think you are just daydreaming!"

"Le Yan, I'm ashamed of your mother. I don't agree to this marriage!"

"No, can anyone tell me who Le Yan is? I have never heard of him."

The barrier between the mainland entertainment circle and the Hong Kong entertainment circle is quite high. Hong Kong audiences have not watched Le Yan's previous TV series, movies, and variety shows and it is difficult for them to see them. When they searched for the name "Le Yan" on the Internet, in addition to some short video clips, there were more reports about the TV series "Sweet Honey" broadcast locally in Hong Kong.

Li Yiran's fans in Hong Kong turned on the TV with a critical attitude.

Even if you want to insult someone, you have to draft your words. If you don't know a person at all, you won't know where to attack him.

But after watching it for a few minutes
"Oh my god, this TV show is kind of interesting, huh?"

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, this Le Yan looks quite like that. Wait until I finish watching this episode before criticizing him."

"Is this guy from the mainland? He speaks Cantonese so well that you can't hear his accent at all"

"Brothers and sisters, can anyone give me some directions to attack Le Yan? Why can't I find a point to attack him? He's handsome, tall, and cute."

"Sorry everyone, I actually watched "Sweet Honey"! Does anyone have an early version? Only 3 episodes have been aired, who can watch it?"

"@Sweet Honey crew, even the landlord's donkey doesn't dare to rest like you! One episode a day to entertain the dog? Broadcast it faster!!"

There is no doubt about the content quality of "Sweet Honey". The entire TV series was shot and produced at movie level, which is second to none in the mainland TV drama circle.

Since the day of the broadcast, many directors have said that Kong Chao is a genius director and that there is a successor to his work in the director field.

Those who have watched it will definitely be able to get into it and stay for it, which should be the highest evaluation of a TV series.

The situation is the same in Hong Kong. All viewers who clicked in intentionally or unintentionally stayed and gradually expanded the audience base in Hong Kong.

And the Hong Kong audience has been hungry for too long.

I haven't seen a man for a long time, even a dog can look handsome. How can I resist the handsome male succubus Le Yan?
It’s a trap, it’s all a trap!

"Let's not talk about Le Yan and Li Yiran's personal relationship for now. I just want to say, it's good, I love it, watch it more! Hurry up and finish "Comrades: Almost a Love Story"!"

Kong Chao started celebrating as early as the stage when netizens were scolding Le Yan.

This isn't halftime champagne.

Black and red are both red. Seeing the heated criticism online, Su Tian knew that he had definitely won this time.

But then the public opinion changed towards Le Yan, and the more than 10,000 fans who came to see Li Yiran at the event the next day gave Su Tian another big shock.

First, he didn't expect that the ratings and discussion of the TV series could increase so much in two days; second, he didn't expect Li Yiran to have such a strong influence in Hong Kong; third, he didn't expect that Le Yan would have such a large number of fans in Hong Kong so quickly.

"LeYan was accepted and liked by local people in a short period of time, which is very beneficial to us. The subsequent promotion will focus on nostalgic songs. The creator of these songs is LeYan, which will be a huge promotion blessing!"

"We must do a good job in promoting the songs of Hong Kong singers and empower and increase the popularity of the TV series in all aspects."

"Okay Director Su, we will keep an eye on our work every day!"

As soon as Li Yiran’s activities in Hong Kong ended, Su Tian immediately boarded a flight to Kyoto.

The deadline Liu Min gave him was the 5th, but he completed the task ahead of schedule on the 4th. He had to go back in person to claim credit for this.

However, Su Tian will not take credit for this achievement.

Brother Le Yan, just wait and see!

At 4 o'clock in the evening on the 10th, Su Tian met Liu Min who was working overtime in the company, and conveyed to her the good news that "Sweet Honey" had a strong comeback in Hong Kong.

At 11: in the evening, Ye Xinchun also heard the good news.

It was easy for Su Tian to get credit from Liu Min, but it was too difficult for Liu Min to get credit from Ye Xinchun.

So what if it’s a few days in advance?

Isn't this what should be done?
Is there anything worth bragging about?

Although Ye Xinchun's attitude towards Liu Min was very cold, when she was lying in bed suffering from insomnia that night, she was still very happy when she thought of "Sweet Honey".

In stark contrast to its bumpy development in Hong Kong, "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" has made a huge splash in mainland China before it even aired. It has only been four days since its launch, but it has not only broken CCTV's ratings record, but the number of views on online platforms has also reached new highs. It is conservatively estimated that the records set by "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" will be difficult to break in at least four to five years.

Counting the time, it has been two years since she came out to reform the superstar.
Last year, superstars shined in variety shows, creating phenomenal music variety shows such as "Singer" and "Sing My Song".

This year, thanks to the still-talented Liu Zhuangzhuang, the company has maintained its leading position in variety shows, and has also produced an equally phenomenal TV series, "Sweet Honey", in the TV drama arena.

Currently, among the three tracks of film, television and variety shows, two have achieved absolute leading position in the country.

If next year, the superstar can reopen the film industry and achieve some results, then Ye Xinchun can really retire with peace of mind.

These middle and senior managers of the company have fought many tough battles with her in the past few years and learned a lot of management experience from her. They know very well what projects will be popular in today's market and how to make them popular if they can do it.

Ye Xinchun originally wanted to work for another three years, but now it seems that perhaps this time can be brought forward?

However, she has not yet made a final decision on her successor, so it remains to be seen.

Liu Min and Ji Xueli seem to be doing calm on the surface this year, but they have been fighting behind the scenes. If Ye Xinchun hadn't mediated through Le Yan's mouth and hands, they would have probably fought many times.

Conflict is not terrible. What is terrible is that until today Ye Xinchun still cannot trust to hand over the superstar role to any candidate and always feels that something is missing.

If he wanted to retire next year, he had to speed up the process of deciding on the successor. The sooner he decided on the successor, the sooner Ye Xinchun could train him in the "Emperor's Mind" in the days before his retirement.

This matter absolutely cannot be delayed any longer.

Ye Xinchun sighed in the darkness, looked at the ceiling above his head and muttered:
"How about we take a look at the employees' choices?"

If you want to run a company as big as Superstar, you must gain the trust and respect of all employees.

If you don't take your boss seriously and don't take what he says seriously, the company will eventually become a mess that will be blown away by any gust of wind.

From Ye Xinchun's perspective, it is difficult to make a decision.

Or what about seeing what the people want?

Ye Xinchun has a strong execution ability. He would think about many things and stay awake until 4 a.m., but the first thing he did when he arrived at the company at 9: in the morning was to push forward the plan of selecting a prince.

"We evaluate outstanding employees at the end of every year. Let's do something different this year. We'll select outstanding leaders in the middle of the year." Ye Xinchun rubbed his temple and said to the second secretary, "The candidates are all the middle and senior leaders of the company, regardless of department or age. You organize it and get it done before next week."

The second secretary's face turned green.

There are dozens of departments of all sizes in Superstar, and countless leaders who meet the requirements. This selection must be completed and a conclusion reached within a week. Don’t even think about going home before 12 o’clock this week!
She immediately set out to push the matter forward, but as soon as she walked out of the office, she stepped back.

"Will the leaders in the studio join us?"

There is only one studio under the superstar, so it is self-evident who the second secretary is.

"Join in." Ye Xinchun said casually.

Le Yan?

Let him come in and run with you.

The actual implementation of the Best Leadership Award went much more smoothly than the Second Secretary had expected.

What superstars have the most is smart people. In the past two years, many people have revealed the undercurrents behind their companies.

Employees who are not eligible to participate are very curious about who will take over the company in the future. Even if they are bootlickers, they have to buy tickets in advance.

Those who are eligible to participate are all full of fighting spirit. This may be the closest they will ever be to success in their lives. No matter whether they are born of legitimate or illegitimate children, they should take a few steps and see how the opportunity presents itself.

As a result, in the week after the campaign was launched, no department turned on the lights at night.

The six-story office building of the superstar looks like a haunted house at night. It is so desolate.

Reducing the burden on employees is far from enough. Ji Xueli organized department employees to drink from Monday to Friday, and even personally drove them to the suburbs to climb mountains on Saturdays and Sundays.

Liu Min is not as worldly-wise as Ji Xueli, but every employee in the content division received a small gift from her.

None of the gifts prepared by rich second-generation Liu Min were cheap. People in the company said that Liu Min spent at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan on the election this week.

Employee A: "In fact, Liu Min should have won without spending any money. The content division has the largest number of employees in the company. More than a hundred people voted for her, so she must be the first."

Employee B: "This is an anonymous vote. She forces employees to work overtime every day. You don't know how people under her scold her!"

Employee A: "Ah, the situation in the artist management department is the same. Whenever Ji Xueli is mentioned, they hate him and say he is biased. That's why it's so hard to be a leader."

Employee B: "But no matter what, the first place is most likely to be between the two of them."

Employee C: "No way? You both voted for Liu Min and Ji Xueli?"

Employee A: "No, no, I voted for someone else."

Employee B: "Huh? Really? I voted for someone else, too!"

Before the voting results for the Best Leadership Award were announced to the public, the Second Secretary first reported to Ye Xinchun.

Seeing the first place's name and support rate, Ye Xinchun's heart, which was in its fifties, beat like a girl in her twenties.

"Le Yan won first place with 46% of the votes, 14 percentage points higher than the second place." The second secretary did not expect that the winner this time would be Le Yan.

Le Yan's studio doesn't have frequent interactions with Superstar headquarters, so how could this happen?
Ye Xinchun no longer had the mood to do any work. He put down the work at hand, frowned and asked:
“Which departments did the people who voted for him come from?”

The second secretary checked the backend of the voting page and said in surprise:

"More than half of the votes come from the content division and the artist management division, and the rest are scattered, coming from every department."

"More than half of the votes come from the content division and the artist management department?" Ye Xinchun thought he had heard wrongly.

In her expectation, the Content Division and the Artist Management Division should be the key to the victory between Liu Min and Ji Xueli. How come all the votes went to Le Yan?

"How many votes did Ji Xueli get in the Artist Management Department?" Ye Xinchun asked seriously.

"It got 29 votes." The second secretary continued with a complicated expression, "It only accounts for less than one-fifth."

Ye Xinchun frowned at first, and then suddenly relaxed with relief.

This month, the biggest news in the circle is that Le Yan overturned the "devil shooting method" that Peng Yiwei had adhered to for decades.

Artists and directors do have different positions in some senses.

It is clear that Le Yan's behavior has won him prestige in the artist circle, but what about the content division?
"What about Liu Min? How many votes did she get in the content division?" Ye Xinchun leaned forward, eager to get an answer.

The second secretary's expression suddenly became awkward, and he stammered:
“Only 17 votes.”

Ye Xinchun leaned back in his chair in disappointment.

17 votes, too low.

"Go check why LeYan received so many votes in the content division." Ye Xinchun's expression became unpredictable.

"Okay, Mr. Ye." The second secretary went out to work quickly.

The office fell silent.

Ye Xinchun once again picked up the voting results reported to her by the second secretary.

Suddenly, she discovered something that interested her.

The one with the highest support rate was Le Yan, which surprised her greatly.

The second-highest supporter still caught her by surprise.
"Tian Ni has already gone, but there are still so many people supporting her?" (End of this chapter)
