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

While other people’s 21-year-olds are still feeling anxious and worried about entering society, Le Yan, at the age of 21, can already command hundreds of people.

The first time he attended the company's monthly meeting, he was not panicked by being flattered by dozens or hundreds of people. He was very calm for the whole morning and seemed to have completely adapted to this new identity.

The colleagues from the artist management department who came to show off in front of Le Yan at noon did not get any benefits. Le Yan perfectly explained what it means to treat everyone equally.

This casts a shadow on the directors who will be on stage this afternoon. Will Le Yan treat us old acquaintances equally?

What if LeYan treats everyone the same, then wouldn’t all the boasting he made before be discredited?
It cannot be blamed on these people for being unable to achieve psychological balance. Le Yan is not an ordinary leader. He is wearing a yellow jacket. In this situation, establishing a relationship with the prince will bring infinite benefits to his future. He has to use his brains.

The Content Division is a large department, but it is divided into three groups according to content type. The first to take the stage in the afternoon were the variety show directors headed by Liu Zhuangzhuang.

As a leading figure in the variety show industry, the highly respected Director Liu will of course be the finale to appear.

After other colleagues reviewed their performance throughout the year, Liu Zhuangzhuang stood up and went on stage to warm applause.

On the way to the stage, he kept observing Le Yan's every move.

Le Yan clapped with others for a while, then returned to his expressionless look, with no intention of interacting with Liu Zhuangzhuang.

Liu Zhuangzhuang briefly reviewed the content of the review in a few words. Everyone knows his great achievements. But after talking about the achievements of the year, Liu Zhuangzhuang did not leave the stage. He held the microphone with both hands and said excitedly:
"I'm very glad that we withstood the pressure this year and were not overtaken by other companies. We still maintain our leading position in variety shows. Many people give this honor to me personally, thinking that I am the one who took up the banner of the superstar variety show project, but I want to give this honor to another person."

Liu Zhuangzhuang suddenly pointed to the center of the rostrum, and the audience immediately became excited:

"It was Le Yan who wrote "Singer", it was Le Yan who wrote "Sing My Song", and it was he who created the variety show miracle of a superstar!"

"I want to thank LeYan for your appreciation of me. Thank you for entrusting me with such a great project. I will always remember your words, 'Only by entrusting it to you can I be responsible for the content.' I will keep this enthusiasm and keep moving forward, and live up to your trust!"

It is no secret that LeYan is the planner of "Singer" and "Sing My Song". LeYan was directly put on the thank you list at the end of these two programs, but no one knows that LeYan chose Liu Zhuangzhuang and insisted on doing these two programs for him.
Le Yan specifically asked Liu Zhuangzhuang to star in these two variety shows that even an idiot could have become a hit. Isn't this just a way of promoting him?
No one has time to be jealous or envious now. It is difficult for Le Yan to appear in the company, but Liu Zhuangzhuang runs to the company whenever he has nothing to do. Hugging Director Liu's thigh is equivalent to hugging Le Yan's thigh!

The noise and discussions from the audience made Liu Zhuangzhuang very satisfied. He nodded to Le Yan and walked off the stage with satisfaction.

Liu Zhuangzhuang's outstanding performance has made many TV drama and movie directors join the camp of variety show directors.

In the face of the future, dreams are fucking bullshit.

Who says that people who film TV dramas can’t film variety shows?
If you have breasts, you are a mother!
Kong Chao felt anxious and angry when he saw that his younger brothers who had been loyal to him in the morning had defected to the variety show side.

A strong desire to win suddenly surged in his heart.

The variety show director finished his speech, and it was time for the TV drama directors to take the stage. As a representative of new directors and a leading figure in the TV drama field, Kong Chao was the first to go on stage.

When Le Yan saw Kong Chao coming up to the stage in a menacing manner, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

In his impression, the young Kong Chao possesses a calmness that does not belong to his age.

Why does Kong Chao, who was as steady as an old dog today, look a little agitated? What happened to him in the past few months?

Kong Chao’s review was very detailed.

Hearing about those outstanding honors and records that were almost impossible to break, there were constant gasps from the audience.

"Sweet Honey" is really strong!
In the new entertainment society brought about by the rise of the Internet, most of users' free time has been replaced by fragmented media such as short videos, and traditional leisure methods such as TV dramas and computer games have lost their former glory.

Under such circumstances, "Sweet Honey" can still break the records of its predecessors and create new history, which can be called a miracle of the times. The creator of this miracle is undoubtedly director Kong Chao, who is responsible for content shooting and script polishing.

"Many people think that the success of "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" is due to my good filming. However, no matter how good the content is, it will be buried if no one spreads it. There is no shortage of good content in this world. What is lacking is the audience who are willing to give it a chance."

Kong Chao's words expressed the thoughts and pain points of many directors in the audience.

Hundreds or thousands of movies, TV series and variety shows are released every year. Are the only good ones really the well-known ones?
The answer is definitely no
It’s just that due to various reasons, good content cannot be seen by more people.

Because of Kong Chao's heartfelt words, there was spontaneous applause from the audience.

Amid the applause, Kong Chao, the focus of the audience, suddenly turned sideways and bowed deeply to the podium:
"Thank you Le Yan for giving Li Xiaojun a complete story. Without you, it would be useless no matter how well I shoot. Thank you Le Yan for bringing attention to "Comrades: Almost a Love Story", which allowed the TV series to have a huge audience before it was aired, avoiding the risk of good content being buried."

The applause from the audience became louder.

There is nothing wrong with what Kong Chao said. When it comes to traffic, the quality of content is really not the only key factor for success.

Le Yan is the big daddy of "Sweet Honey"!

Kong Chao stood up straight and said to Le Yan excitedly:
"We met when we were little. At that time, you were a little-known actor, and I was a little director who had to shoot and serve tea and water. At the wrap-up dinner on the day of our first collaboration, I asked you what your dream was, and you said you hoped that 'your friend' could make 'your friend's' girlfriend happy. You asked me what my dream was, and I said I wanted to be a good director who could be recognized and remembered by the audience."

Kong Chao's words brought back Le Yan's memories of ancient times.

When filming "The Best of Them", he had just been in the industry for less than half a year and everything was still in its starting stages. At that time, his biggest dream was to be worthy of Li Yiran, who was already a little queen.

The joke about 'my friend's' girlfriend made Le Yan regain the state of mind he had two years ago, and he was filled with emotion for a moment.

Kong Chao keenly caught the change in Le Yan's mood and said in a more excited tone:
"In the past two years, you and I have both fulfilled our respective dreams. I hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to fulfill more dreams with you. At the same time, we will continue to be each other's best witnesses!"

I don't know from whom Kong Chao learned the skill of stirring up the atmosphere. Many people heard a kind of passion in his ups and downs of voice and passionate speech, and they applauded again.

Le Yan was also affected by the atmosphere at the scene. He stood up slightly and bowed to Kong Chao, just like when they first met two years ago, and said politely:

"Thank you director for choosing me. I will definitely work hard."

The whole audience was in an uproar again.

There is no doubt that LeYan is the most prestigious person at the scene.

Le Yan, who has the highest status, actually bowed to Kong Chao. What is Kong Chao's generation?

After Kong Chao stepped down, a group of fence-sitters defected to the TV drama camp.

Kong Chao and Le Yan are comrades-in-arms who grew up together. Both sides witnessed each other's process from zero to one. This is a revolutionary friendship.

The first time they worked together, they created LeYan. The second time they worked together, they created Kong Chao. When they work together for the third time, it should be me who will be created, right?
Variety shows are too superficial and lack nutrition!

TV series are good. I want to go to film a TV series!!
The meeting hadn't even ended yet, but the discussion among the audience about which one had a better future among superstars, variety shows or TV dramas, had already become extremely heated.

At this time, the most angry and irritated people are not the variety show directors or TV drama directors, but the movie directors who have been running for the whole day without any chance to go on stage and have nothing to show for it.

Film and TV series, film and TV series. Films are ranked first, how can we who make films fall to the bottom? !
Making movies is the real deal!

Since Peng Yiwei, the only film director who made a name for himself this year, was a temporary worker for Superstar and did not come to the meeting at all, all the directors who stayed in the film industry placed their hopes on Su Tian.

Director Su, now it’s your turn to step up!

The people watching the show were extremely excited.

Liu Zhuangzhuang came on stage to express his gratitude, and Kong Chao came on stage to bow. I wonder if Su Tian will kowtow this time?
It seemed that he had imagined the same thing as everyone else. Before Su Tian spoke, Le Yan spoke first.

He whispered to Su Tian on the stage: "Director Su, it's getting late. Let's keep it simple and just talk about the key parts."

Le Yan finally understood that these people were coming for him.

A normal monthly meeting turned into a 'comparison meeting for who has the best relationship with Le Yan'. But let's talk about our brothers' affairs in private and don't bring it up here anymore.

This was the first time that Le Yan took the initiative to speak to the spokesperson since the meeting. He foolishly thought that this action would be enough to satisfy Su Tian. But he still underestimated the man's competitive spirit.

Variety show directors are in the limelight, TV drama directors are in the limelight too, so why should we film directors be concise?
Why? !

Le Yan's words of dissuasion had already been spoken, and Su Tian was afraid that if he elaborated too much, he would be criticized, especially at this critical juncture, when he was responsible for the fate of dozens of film directors in the company.

But this is not a big deal. Su Tian’s bright little head turned slightly and he immediately came up with a solution.

"I have not been with Superstar for long. Compared with many people here, I am still a newcomer to Superstar. The results I delivered this year were not very outstanding. The first result was a movie called "Charlotte's Troubles" that grossed 50 billion yuan."

Su Tian paused here and looked in the direction of Liu Zhuangzhuang below the stage.

This is my result in my second year at Superstar. How many years have you been here?
No matter how awesome your variety show is, how much money can it make for the company?

The phalanx of variety show directors quickly stalled. In terms of earning ability, they are indeed slightly inferior to those in movies.

"The second job was to supervise the production of "Sweet Honey."" As he said this, Su Tian looked at Kong Chao again.

The TV series also fell silent. Su Tian also contributed to the success of "Sweet Honey" on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This achievement cannot be entirely attributed to the TV series.

After hinting at the importance of movies in the company, Su Tian began to move closer to the topic.

"Other directors always go on stage and talk about what achievements they have made this year and what contributions they have made to the company. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing that. I'm going to talk about something different today." Su Tian slowed down his speech.

"First of all, I have gained a very united crew this year. Have you ever seen a crew that gets together to discuss performances all the time? Have you ever seen a crew that has to cook every meal together?"

The audience was quiet.

A few seconds later, Su Tian pointed to the location of his heart:

"I have seen"

The directors in the audience revealed looks of envy. The crew described by Su Tian was simply a paradise on earth!

Su Tian paused again and looked meaningfully at Le Yan behind him, as if to remind everyone not to forget that Le Yan was a member of that crew. I, Su Tian, ​​and Le Yan lived an inseparable loving life for a while!
"The second gain this year is that I met a few unexpected friends." Su Tian seemed to have thought of something interesting and said with a smile, "The first friend has been my idol for many years. I almost broke his door all these years just wanting to work with him once, but I was rejected every time. But I never thought that the first work chosen by Mr. Deng Xuefeng after his comeback would be mine."

There were immediate exclamations from the audience.

Wasn’t Deng Xuefeng’s first work after his comeback a movie by Peng Yiwei?
It's you. How did you do it?

"The second unexpected friend was someone I had no connection with at all. We had never crossed paths at work, but she turned down all her work and came to help me stand on stage twice for free. If it weren't for her, it would be hard to say what the situation of "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" would be like in Hong Kong."

Although Su Tian didn't say the person's name, everyone has already guessed who this person is!

"That's right, this person is Li Yiran!" Su Tian suddenly turned his head, and Le Yan was so scared that he quickly looked away and stared at the table in front of him.

"Teacher Deng took on the task when the crew made a mistake in casting, and Li Yiran saved me when "Sweet Honey" was on the verge of collapse. These two people are my benefactors and lifelong friends!" Su Tian's voice echoed throughout the venue.

The fence-sitters opened their mouths wide.

Is there anyone in the circle who doesn’t know that Deng Xuefeng is training Le Yan as his successor, and that the two of them are as close as if they were blood relatives?
Who doesn’t know that Li Yiran and Le Yan are a model couple?
Su Tian didn't mention Le Yan at all, but everyone understood that Su Tian must have a close relationship with Le Yan!

He has successfully penetrated into Le Yan's family!

Leading figures in the three fields of film, television and variety shows successively demonstrated their personal relationships with Le Yan, which caused chaos at the scene.

Who is closer to LeYan?

"Why don't you just follow Director Su? The media says Le Yan is controlled by his wife, and Director Su is familiar with Li Yiran."

"But Director Kong and Le Yan are comrades-in-arms!"

"Don't you guys consider Liu Zhuangzhuang? He has worked with LeYan five times. They must have a good relationship."

After the meeting, Liu Zhuangzhuang, Kong Chao and Su Tian blocked Le Yan together, determined to decide the winner today.

Le Yan has had a headache this day, and he still can't rest in peace after it's over.
What Ye Xinchun hates most is internal struggle.

Last year, a struggle arose between the two major departments, the Content Division and the Artist Management Division. Ye Xinchun was so angry that she pushed Tian Ni out to be sacrificed. If she knew that there was a split within a major department, she would continue to chop down on them!
This situation happened when Le Yan attended the monthly meeting for the first time. The knife might fall on his head!

"We are all from the same department, why don't we eat together?" Le Yan said to the three big men in a tactful manner.

The three directors looked at each other and nodded for the time being.

It's already this time, of course he'll just give himself a way out. What if the person Le Yan chooses is not him, do you think it would be uncomfortable?

The three directors were satisfied, and the other directors began to feel frustrated.

No matter which director Le Yan gets along best with, it has nothing to do with them. Climbing onto Le Yan’s dragon bed is harder than climbing to the sky!
Le Yan suddenly got busy and said to the other directors:
"Let's go have dinner together tonight. I rarely interact with you guys before, so this is a good opportunity to get to know you better."

The director from the content division was happy this time, but the people from the artist management department who were not invited started to complain.

I invited you to lunch but you didn't go, but in the afternoon I took the initiative to organize a dinner for all the directors. What does that mean? Is your bias so obvious?

Le Yan also quickly discovered his shortcomings, and he quickly stood up on the chair and shouted:

"Everyone who attends the meeting today, come and have dinner tonight. It's my treat!"

Tian Ni and Yan Hong nervously pulled Le Yan down and took him to an empty corner.

"The calm between the two departments is only a superficial phenomenon. It will take a long time to completely repair the relationship." Yan Hong said cautiously.

This is a huge historical problem that gives her a huge headache.

Tian Ni pushed her glasses down:
"Why don't we go to two different places? It's really not appropriate to have dinner together."

Le Yan hugged one of them with one hand and walked back carefree:

"No matter which department they are from, they are all superstars!"

What about film and television variety shows, content division and artist management department. Aren’t they all owned by superstars?

Why differentiate between you and me? That's ridiculous!
Yan Hong and Tian Ni looked at each other.

The prince has such a big vision! (End of this chapter)
