China Entertainment 1997

In the restaurant, the only people eating with the Fan siblings were Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, plus Cao Yang.

As for Cao Li, he suddenly felt a little unwell at night. After seeing it from his family doctor, it was not a big deal, but just in case, he went to the hospital for a systematic checkup today, and Empress Xigong accompanied him.

"Eat, you're welcome."

Cao Xuan put spicy crabs on Fan Chengcheng's plate: "I don't know what you like to eat. Both of your sisters are from Daoshi, so they made some seafood. They are home-cooked dishes. You can try them."

"It's very delicious. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Fan Chengcheng was able to be brought out by his sister to pay homage to Shantou. He still understands basic human relations and etiquette rules. Although he is a little green, it can be seen that he has definitely been trained in private.

Not to mention that there is a long-sleeved Fan Xiaopang who is good at dancing next to him. Despite having been in business for several years, Fan Xiaopang, who is already good at communication, is more comfortable in this kind of situation and makes the atmosphere in the whole restaurant very harmonious.

With her high emotional intelligence, she did not let go of even Cao Yang, who had been sitting silently while cooking. Cao Yang had a very good impression of this beautiful aunt.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, it’s inevitable that it’s time to get down to business.

In fact, it's not a serious matter. Just visit the dock. The main thing is to show your face in front of Cao Xuan and leave a good impression.

When they first started chatting, it was mainly Fan Xiaopang and Cao Xuan chatting about their current situation. Fan Chengcheng was a background person. Now that the dining atmosphere is more relaxed, it is his turn to talk.

"According to Sister You, do you plan to come and try your luck in the industry?"

Cao Xuan put down the cup, looked up at him and asked, maybe it was a psychological factor. Fan Chengcheng felt his scalp numb inexplicably. Being beaten by his parents in a mixed doubles when he was a child did not frighten him so much that his nervous voice became a little shrill. .

"I...I really like singing and dancing. I have been interested in this industry since I was a child. I also studied abroad and worked as a trainee for a period of time, so I discussed with my sister to give it a try when I returned to China."

"Oh, that's alright."

Cao Xuan nodded: "In this business, your sister takes care of you and supports you. It's also a good story."

Frankly speaking, Cao Xuan's answer was a little perfunctory, but it was also normal. The brother and sister had agreed that if he had any solution, he could only praise it a few times and couldn't raise any objections.

Having said that, Cao Xuan didn't want his children to join this industry because it was unnecessary. The Cao Xuan family had a big business, and they still had the confidence, resources and connections to work in other industries.

This is not the case with the Fan family siblings.

Although Fan Xiaopang does a good job, it is hard to say how much social resources he has. He has more connections and strength in the circle.

Moreover, the siblings are not children. Cao Xuan's money will be left to his children sooner or later, but no matter how much money the sister earns, she cannot leave it to her brother.

If Fan Xiaopang is not a devil, then the best choice is to support her younger brother to start a family business on his own. With her strength and Fan Chengcheng's conditions, making money in the entertainment industry is the most convenient and easiest industry.

This is also the reason why the entertainment industry is rich in second-generation stars.

First, they have been exposed to it since childhood and are interested in it. Second, it is difficult for the second-generation stars themselves to work hard to build a good career in other fields. It is normal to take advantage of their parents. Third, there is indeed money to be made in the entertainment industry. Fast, at least it is a good way for ordinary people.

Especially in recent years, the entertainment industry has been highly prosperous, and celebrities are almost making crazy money.

Many entrepreneurs who have gone abroad to start a business have gone through a lot of hard work and intrigues to become a listed company, but there may not necessarily be a top earner.

Fan Xiaopang, the biggest "traffic star", must understand this better. It is naturally easy to understand that his brother has this choice.

Comparing his feelings, if he were Fan Xiaopang, he would most likely do this after realizing that Fan Chengcheng had no other talents.

"Xiao Cheng is a trainee in Korea?"

The Empress of the East Palace also asked, Fan Xiaopang knew her strength, and if Fan Chengcheng fell in her eyes, he would even have a better future than Cao Xuan valued him.

"Yes, he studied in the United States, and then he went to South Korea to work as a trainee for a period of time when he wanted to debut. The training system there is more mature."

Fan Xiaopang knew his younger brother's material, and the past few years had been the peak of idol idols, so after seeking his younger brother's opinion, he planned to take the idol route first to gain exposure and fans, and then transform after reaching a certain level.

"oh."

To Fan Xiaopang's surprise, when he heard that she was from Korea, Hu Jing's attitude became obviously cold.

Cao Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. Fan Xiaopang was good at dancing and had a very high emotional intelligence. Even though the East and West Palaces were always wary of her, their private relationship was quite good. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to bring her brother to Cao Xuan's house for dinner.

You know, Cao Xuan is not difficult to see, but most of them are outside or in the office. The threshold of Cao Xuan's family is very high, let alone bringing outsiders to eat with the family.

From this point of view, Fan Xiaopang is not only trusted by Cao Xuan, but even the East and West Palaces have a very good impression of her and are caring and close to her.

Otherwise, if anyone from the East and West Palaces has some disgust and resistance towards her, Fan Xiaopang will never come to visit her in a grand manner. Even if the relationship is average, it is easy to be rejected.

Therefore, although it is simple for the Fan family siblings to sit here, in fact, there are not many high-level executives and artists in the entire Stars who can do this. Looking at the entertainment industry, there are even fewer.

So Fan Chengcheng is very lucky.

In recent years, it is not that the second generation of celebrities or the second generation of rich people have come to visit Caoxuan Pier, but few of them have the respect to make appointments, and even if they do, most of them are outside.

Fan Chengcheng, a newcomer who has not yet made his debut, can come to his home to have dinner with the owner and CEO of Asia's largest entertainment company, and get a good impression.

It's a pity that Fan Xiaopang is as shrewd as he is, but he can't handle the flaw in his intelligence this time and makes a wrong move.

Cao Xian's affairs were too secret, and few people knew about it. Even if they knew that Cao Xuan had an eldest son, they almost didn't know his background. Therefore, Fan Xiaopang accidentally violated the taboo of the Empress of the East Palace.

Because of a certain eldest princess, Hu Jing was somewhat prejudiced against artists born in Korea.

With President Hu's ambition and status, she wouldn't be able to target him, but it would definitely be several times more difficult than ordinary artists to win her attention or even be promoted.

So while Fan Xiaopang was giving his brother a full start, he also blocked one of the roads invisibly.

Of course, that being said, he is Fan Xiaopang's younger brother after all. Cao Xuan also specifically explained that Hu Jing will still take care of him sometimes.

After all, she was an old subordinate who had fought for her family, so she still had to give face. When Hu Jing's attitude became cold, Cao Xuan took over.

"It's very good. I think the domestic market is very optimistic about this. The number of talent shows has increased significantly in the past two years, and some platforms have even promoted it as a key project. How about it? Have you signed a company?"

"Not yet, but Mr. Du's Lehua is very optimistic about him."

"Leroy?"

When Cao Xuan was in a daze, Hu Jing reminded him: "The boss of Han Geng's company is called Du Hua. Last time Liu Yan happened, he personally brought people to the company to apologize. They are experienced in idol idols and have launched several idols. A boy band and a girl band.”

"I remembered."

Du Hua is also considered the number one figure in the entertainment industry. Especially in the era when idols gather together, she is even more popular. Cao Xuan knows her.

It's just that over the years, Cao Xuan has dealt with too many big names in the industry, and Du Hua and Lehua are still not close to him at this level. When they were suddenly mentioned, he really didn't react.

But when Hu Jing reminded him, he remembered: "I know her. She seems to have cooperated with us in the ring tones business in the early years. She is quite capable."

Fan Xiaopang also said: "Mr. Du is a relatively mature idol company in China and has a lot of experience in this area. Of course, there are other companies. We are also waiting and watching."

In fact, she also has an implicit meaning, whether Fan Chengcheng has a chance to enter Fanxing without signing a contract.

Therefore, there are also hints in the words that her younger brother is in demand, and she wants to see if she can attract Cao Xuan's attention. Fan Xiaopang, who has grown up from Fanxing, knows the energy of Fanxing better than anyone else. If her younger brother joins Fanxing, she will have nothing to worry about.

But obviously, Cao Xuan didn't get or ignored her hint, and asked instead.

"Meitao of yours is doing a good job, the team can dig it, and the resources can be replaced. Why do you let Xiaocheng depend on someone else?"

Lehua's related business is indeed good in China, but it is not enough to stand out. This field has just started in recent years, and the gap between everyone is not big. If Fan Xiaopang really wants to flatter his younger brother, he can make up for it by spending money to recruit people.

"Boy, if you sign with another company, you will be more self-reliant."

Cao Xuan understood, and his intention was obviously to create a character for Fan Chengcheng. Although he was Fan Xiaopang's younger brother, he still relied on his own abilities to make a name for himself.

It’s a very fucked-up and awkward character, but many people can’t stand it and love it!

Of course, Cao Xuan extended the conspiracy theory to two further meanings.

One is that Fan Xiaopang didn’t want to spend so much resources and money on his younger brother, so he left it to Lehua to save worry and effort.

The other is that Meitao was built by her, but Fan’s mother and Fan’s father both work in it. The former is even one of the executives and shareholders. If Fan Chengcheng joins Meitao, Fan’s father and Fan’s mother may have some other ideas.

This may be Cao Xuan's villainy, but there are indeed too many examples of this in the business world.

Fathers and sons turn against their relatives, brothers and their families become enemies. It is commonplace.

Again, siblings are one family, but they are also two families. As parents, Fan's father and Fan's mother, from the perspective of family, feel that the sister's belongs to the younger brother, and it doesn't matter if it is shared with some younger brothers, but Fan Xiaopang himself may not Think so.

This is far more than a simple preference for sons over daughters. It is more about parents sometimes taking more care and favoring children who are younger or even less capable.

Fan Xiaopang is capable, but Fan Chengcheng is weak, so the elder sister should take care of her younger brother, and vice versa.

Regardless of whether others have this idea, Fan Xiaopang let his brother work on his own career, and even sent him to other companies to provide resources and support without asking for anything. It was a very clear and sensible approach, and it also saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Yes, wandering outside can improve yourself, and it is also a good experience for Xiaocheng."

Cao Xuan stopped thinking divergently and spoke highly of Fan Xiaopang's actions.

It was also because he had eaten too much at the hands of his brothers in the company in the past few days. When encountering this kind of thing, he couldn't help but think too much. Fan Xiaopang might not be as complicated as he thought, and he was just paving the way for his younger brother to test the waters.

After the meal, Cao Xuan took the Fan siblings to the study to sit down. He gave Fan Chengcheng a calligraphy letter as a gift and mentioned the stock withdrawal to Fan Xiaopang.

"Don't think too much, adjust normally, and decide whether to cooperate or not in the future. No matter when, you will be the one to go out among the stars."

"..."

Fan Xiaopang couldn't explain how she felt at this moment. She understood what Cao Xuan meant and why.

She wanted to say something to save her, but in the end she had no words. The differences between the two parties were too great, and had even reached an unbearable level.

Cao Xuan chose to withdraw his shares and leave, while Fan Xiaopang was also hooking up with another capital company during this period, intending to lure him into the situation as a way out.

Even though Cao Xuan didn't mention it at this time, both parties were already aware of the separation.

"For so many years, I have relied on you to take care of me. Without you, I would not be where I am today. Bingbing will always remember these kindnesses in his heart. However, I have not repaid the kindness much, but I... I am really sorry for you..."

Fan Xiaopang felt so guilty that she even couldn't help but shed tears. Although she left Fanxing independently back then, she was still half a Fanxing person and had not completely left.

But today she knew that once Fanxing withdraws its shares, there will be no substantial connection between the two parties.

Even though she was still considered a member of Fanxingxing due to various cooperations, it was completely different from before. Even though she had been mentally prepared in advance, Fan Xiaopang felt very uncomfortable at the thought of being completely separated from her old employer of more than ten years.

What makes her even more uncomfortable and ashamed is that Cao Xuan has helped her a lot over the years and has been so kind to her, but now he wants to kick his old employer away for his own selfish purposes.

There is nothing more ungrateful than this, and Fan Xiaopang's few morals were put to a great test.

"I praise you, but you also made me money. In this regard, everyone is equal. Even if you think I have helped you, kindness is a kindness, and things come to a close.

Bingbing, we have known each other for many years. There is no need to have conflicts over certain things. Everyone has his own ambitions. I understand you, and you don’t need to carry any psychological baggage. "

Cao Xuan never asked for repayment of kindness, and even did not talk about kindness to many people. When he mentioned this matter, it was business affairs and treating each other as equals.

As he said, Fan Xiaopang was created by him, but it did create profits for him. Everyone benefited from each other. If they could reach an agreement, they would go together, and if they disagreed, they would separate.

This philosophy prevented him from being entangled in the departure of many people, and also brought him and Fanxing a good reputation.

Youdao means great kindness and great hatred!

If Cao Xuan took the kindness of knowing and meeting him seriously, according to some people's ideas, Fan Xiaopang would have to be a bully for him for the rest of his life, but would the other party really be obedient?

The final outcome was that the two sides broke up and formed a deadly feud. Cao Xuan's reputation was also ruined.

On the contrary, it is better to be upright and upright, your reputation will be better, and the other party will appreciate your kindness.

It seems that he is at a disadvantage, but at the same time he has a good sense of justice. If there is a conflict in the future, he can ruin the reputation of the other party with one move of "ungratefulness".

This kind of behavior may not necessarily be correct, but it is in line with Cao Xuan's character, makes him feel comfortable, and brings him a lot of help and longer-term development, so he remains consistent.

Next to him, Fan Chengcheng looked at Cao Xuan's gentle voice comforting his crying and guilty sister. He was panic-stricken but also thoughtful.

Two hours later, on the way away from Cao's house, Fan Chengcheng, who had been honest all the way, finally couldn't help but ask his own question.

"Sister, if you haven't looked for me all these years, are you thinking about...Teacher Cao?"

Fan Xiaopang tightened his grip on the steering wheel. After a long time, he replied quietly.

"You know, I have had dreams several times. I dreamed that I went back to 1997 and snatched him before those two people. Together we founded Fanxing, which was even bigger than now. Later, we gave birth to a pair of children. Very naughty, calling you uncle..."

"Then what?"

"Then... I woke up from the dream."

Fan Xiaopang stopped talking, and Fan Chengcheng also fell silent. In a daze, he seemed to see some moisture in the corners of his sister's eyes.

Once you see Cao Lang, your life will be ruined!
