The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Chapter 100: Competing for the role of judge

Recently, Xiaoyue started living in her own villa and has not returned to Tianyu for several days. As a result, she received a call from Tianyu asking her to return to the company for a meeting.

Xiaoyue felt very strange. What kind of meeting could Tianyu have that required her to go back?

When Xiaoyue arrived at the conference room, it was full of people. Xiaoyue looked around and saw that they were all leaders of various departments. She found Liu Xinran and sat obediently behind her.

"Come here, your place is here."

Liu Xinran saw Xiaoyue, pointed to the place next to her, and said with a smile.

"No, auntie, these people are all leaders from various departments, right? It's not appropriate for me to do this."

"You are the third largest shareholder of the company. If you are not worthy, who is?" Liu Xinran said.

Being the third largest shareholder is just a reputation. Xiaoyue has not seen any income so far.

However, Xiaoyue still sat in that position.

Many people heard what Liu Xinran said just now, and when they saw Xiaoyue sitting there, no one gave her strange looks, as if she was supposed to sit there.

Xiaoyue found that this chair seemed very comfortable. After taking a look, she found that it was indeed different from the one she had just sat on. In Tianyu, even the chairs were treated differently.

After a while, Liu Zhonglei came, sat in the boss chair, looked around, and smiled when he saw Xiaoyue.

"The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the talent show held by Tianyu. After selections in various cities across the country, there are now 120 people who have entered the finals. Currently, the 120 contestants have arrived in Beijing, preparing to participate in the finals starting on November 20th. The finals will be held at the Sports Center in Beijing, and the venue is currently being built. Although there are still ten days left, each department must follow the company's instructions and must not fail at the critical moment."

Xiaoyue understood that the talent show had reached the finals. She had not paid attention to it before, she just knew that it was going on.

"The competition system still needs to be carefully considered. After all, different age groups have different assessment contents. This requires the Planning Department to discuss with various departments and submit it to the heads of various departments for signature. If there are any objections, they must be raised and sufficient reasons must be given."

"Also, regarding the selection of the ten judges, according to our discussion with Qixing, we have three seats from Tianyu, two from Qixing, and the remaining five are from five Qu Dae from other companies in China. Two Qu Dae from our company, Mr. Liang and Mr. Liu, will definitely be judges, and you can discuss the other one on your own."

All of a sudden, the ministers present became excited. Who wouldn’t want this spot? So they all started discussing it privately.

Liu Xinran pulled Xiaoyue's sleeve and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Xiaoyue quickly shook her head. It was not that she was not qualified, but she had once said that she would not make her debut.

"How about you try to get it, auntie?"

Liu Xinran sighed and said, "Don't even think about it. We already have two composers from the composing department, so it's impossible for another one to go. Besides, I don't want to be a judge with those composers. It's stressful."

Xiao Yue smiled when she heard this, she understood that the reason why Liu Xinran didn't go was because those Qu dads had weird tempers and were very difficult to serve, so she didn't want to suffer their anger.

Since there is nothing to do with their three parts, all that remains is to watch the fun.

"Boss Liu, I think our review and distribution department is suitable for this. After all, our daily work is to review various songs that are released, which falls within our business scope."

The person who stood up and spoke was Dong Chunhui. Xiaoyue thought about it and felt that what he said made some sense.

At this time, Tang Qi, the head of the Artist Department, also stood up and said, "Our Artist Department is best at discovering artists and finding their shining points. When we serve as judges, we can rate artists in an all-round way."

Xiaoyue thinks what Minister Tang said makes sense!

Liu Zhonglei looked at the heads of other departments and said, "You can also speak up. As long as your opinions make sense, you can all participate."

Uncle Liu's words have ulterior motives. Does he want to see his subordinates fighting among themselves?

After hearing what Liu Zhonglei said, Liu Xinran also smiled meaningfully.

The directors of other departments originally wanted to give it a try, but after hearing what Liu Zhonglei said, they gave up. In the end, only Dong Chunhui from the Review and Distribution Department and Tang Qi from the Artist Department were left competing for that spot.

By doing the opposite, Xiaoyue felt that she had learned something.

Liu Zhonglei looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Then let's vote!"

Voting is a test of one's popularity, and there is actually no fairness to speak of.

Everyone present wrote down the name they most recognized, then rolled it into a ball and handed it to Liu Zhonglei's assistant.

When counting in public, it was normal to have only one name on a piece of paper, but suddenly a ballot with two names appeared, and the assistant didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Who wrote the two names?"

"I." Xiao Yue said weakly. Mainly because she had a good relationship with the two ministers, she wrote them all.

Liu Zhonglei laughed and said, "Xiaoyue, stop joking. You can only choose one."

Xiao Yue looked at the two ministers with hopeful eyes and said helplessly, "Is it okay for me to abstain?"

"Okay." Liu Zhonglei didn't argue anymore.

Dong Chunhui and Tang Qi couldn't do anything about Xiaoyue because this kid was a very honest person.

The final result was that Tang Qi, director of the Artist Department, won by one vote and won the qualification to be a judge.

Dong Chunhui looked at Xiaoyue and sighed, "Look, if you vote for me, Old Tang and I will be tied."

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Haha, Minister Dong, we can't just vote again after a tie, right?"

"Hey, you kid..."

Liu Zhonglei laughed loudly and said to everyone, "Okay, let's adjourn the meeting." Then he looked at Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, follow me to the 18th floor."

Everyone walked out of the meeting room, and Xiaoyue happily followed Liu Zhonglei to the 18th floor.

Many people looked at the two people's backs with envy and said, "Look, I would have thought they were father and daughter."

"Even if it's not now, it may be in the future."

"That makes sense. It looks like the prince needs to work harder."

Someone who was out doing publicity sneezed.

"Wenjie, you have a cold? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I guess someone missed me."

Liu Wenjie thought, it would be best if Xiaoyue missed me.

Xiao Yue had been to Liu Zhonglei's office several times and sat on the sofa without any hesitation.

"Uncle Liu, I don't drink tea. If you have something to say, just tell me!"

"I heard that your office building is almost completed?"

"Well, it's just the final soft decoration."

"Okay, have you decided who to hire when you move the company?"

Xiaoyue was a little confused. She had never thought of hiring anyone. What should she say?

"Well, I haven't had time to think about it yet. I'll talk about it later."

“When will the filming of Avatar be completed?”

"It's almost done. We'll be done in two or three days. By the way, Uncle Liu, I plan to continue filming Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 after the New Year. It just so happens that we have a ready-made studio, and I don't want to waste it."

Xiaoyue felt that this needed to be made clear to Liu Zhonglei. After all, whether he would continue to invest depended on his own opinion.

"When will "Avatar" be released? Aren't you going to wait and see the box office before deciding whether to shoot "Avatar 2" and "Avatar 3"? " Liu Zhonglei didn't distrust Xiaoyue's vision, but it was too risky to do so.

Xiaoyue understood what Liu Zhonglei meant. "Avatar" has been tested by the market and is the box office champion, but she can't say it.

"Prepare for release during the Spring Festival."

"Chinese New Year? Then you need to edit the promotional video quickly so that the company can promote it."

Liu Zhonglei didn't know what to say anymore. If "Avatar" could be released during the Spring Festival, the box office would probably be good, but he didn't know how to invest in the future, so he could only put it off for now.

"No problem. I promise to give you a promotional video in half a month. We still have to rely on Tianyu for the promotion."

"Don't worry, it's settled."

The two chatted for a while before Xiaoyue returned to the film and television city.

Three days later, the filming of "Avatar" was finally completed, but no one felt any sense of parting, as the work would continue after the New Year anyway.

Xiaoyue was not stingy and asked Wu Hao to book a wrap-up banquet at Liuji Hotel.

After the wrap party, Wu Hao pulled Xiao Yue aside and said, "Boss Cheng, don't leave yet. I want to tell you something. We still have a lot left of the 2 billion. After deducting the remaining budget, we still have about 500 million left."

Xiao Yue thought about it and immediately understood that the most expensive part of the previous life's "Avatar" was the special effects, but the special effects on Blue Star were not that expensive, so her previous budget was wrong.

"Have the actors' salaries been paid?"

"Yes, it has been budgeted long ago and the settlement will be settled soon. Malik has hired 20 accountants to be in charge of cashiers in the Finance Department."

"Then give everyone an extra 3 percent. By the way, you still need to go to the factory to order D glasses, which also costs money. You don't have the budget for this, right?"

"Ah? Shouldn't the theaters provide the money for the 3D glasses? Should we pay for them too?"

"What do you know? Anyway, it can be recycled. We will still have to use it next time Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 are screened. We might as well invest more. The theaters will be happy, and so will we."

"That makes sense. It makes us look very generous. Don't worry, leave it to me. I think there will still be a lot of money left."

"For the future promotion, we at Yue Xiang will also try to do the promotion, won't it cost money? Don't worry, we can spend it all."

"Okay. One more thing..."

Wu Hao, who was originally discussing the issue quite seriously, suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Go ahead."

Xiaoyue knew that something happened to him, but she didn't know what it was.

"Are you satisfied with Ma Li's recent work?"

Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows. Since this guy used the word "you", the problem became complicated.

Ma Li, you are doing a pretty good job and basically don't have to worry about anything. So what does Wu Hao mean by asking this question?

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, fart quickly."

"Boss Cheng, where is your politeness? How come you start swearing after spending some time with a bunch of grown men like us? This is not like you!"

"Shut up and speak quickly." Xiao Yue also realized that she was becoming more and more vulgar, especially when she was with Wu Hao and Ma Teng, the dirty words came out unconsciously.

Xiaoyue remembered that she used to be aloof and cool, how come she became like this?

This is not a good habit and I need to change it. I am a cultured person and I need to be a well-educated person.

"Actually, what exactly is Ma Li's current position? I heard that Jiang Pingsheng has become your personal assistant and is helping you supervise the decoration on the 16th floor."

Xiaoyue immediately understood that when Ma Li first came, she only said that she could be an agent and would see how the work went.

"Now, I'm the president, you're the general manager, and Jiang Pingsheng is my assistant, so you should have an assistant too. I think Ma Li is a good choice."

Xiaoyue smiled after she finished speaking, thinking that Wu Hao and Ma Li should be satisfied with her arrangement.

"No."

Wu Hao shook his head like a rattle and continued, "It's not good for a couple to work together. It can easily lead to family conflicts."

"Tsk, I guess you don't want her to control you?" Xiao Yue ruthlessly took off Wu Hao's fig leaf.

"Look at you, you see the truth but don't say it. It really doesn't work. Change your position. Please!"

Xiaoyue feels that Wu Hao is becoming more and more shameless. Is it appropriate for a grown man like you to act like a spoiled child with a little girl like me?

"I'm impressed. What position do you think is suitable for her?"

"Don't the president's secretary office have to have a few assistants? Jiang Pingsheng will be in charge of legal affairs, Ma Li will be in charge of the company's internal affairs, and you can also find a finance officer later."

"No, doesn't the company have a finance department? Why would my secretary need a finance officer?"

"You are mistaken. The finance department in the secretary's office is responsible for you personally. The company's finance department will also submit the finance department in the president's office for review. Do you understand now?"

Xiaoyue felt that she was arranged by Wu Hao, but what he said seemed to make sense.

"According to what you said, I need at least three assistants in the president's office?"

"That's right, President Cheng, you are the chairman now. Our Yuexiang Entertainment is worth more than 2 billion now, and has more than 200 employees. It is not a small company, but a big company."

"Fuck, when did there become so many people? Why didn't I know?"

Xiaoyue covered her mouth and accidentally said swear words again. She really didn't know why there were so many people. After only two months of filming, the company had become this big?

"Aren't they all the people you agreed to recruit?"

"Okay, stop talking, that's all! I want to be quiet and clear my mind."

"Okay, take your time."

Wu Hao achieved his goal and left happily.
