Seeing the woman's eager eyes, Xie Junfei was no longer in a hurry to answer the question.

She looked at Holland with composure and asked in return:

"Sister Lan, don't ask me what I saw. Before I answer your question, let me ask you something first."

"You went to all this trouble to bring me to Venus, what exactly do you want me to see?"

Holland smiled without saying a word, and Xie Junfei didn't press the matter. He opened his phone, which displayed an online introduction to Venus:

“You are the elder, it’s okay if you don’t say it, I will say it for you.”

"Since the new vice president of Venus's film and television department took office two years ago, the department appears to be thriving on the surface, but in reality it is a mess."

"Those with connections encroach on the living space of normal actors, and normal actors cannot get good scripts, so their chances of becoming famous are extremely slim."

"Meanwhile, those with connections but no real talent have climbed to the top tier by leveraging high-quality scripts and fan culture, and have even begun to encroach on Muse's fashion resources. They are unworthy of their positions."

Upon hearing this, Holland simply smiled and gently guided him:

"Then why don't I fire this vice president?"

Xie Junfei shrugged:

"Then you'd better have the ability to open his mouth."

Hearing her say that, the smile in Holland's eyes disappeared, replaced by the overwhelming aura of a top supermodel.

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't even dare to raise their head in front of Holland.

But Xie Junfei remained calm and even smiled.

See? She was right.

Even if the new vice president of the film and television department has a thousand and one flaws, there is still one good thing about him.

That is, he's too good at making money.

So what if someone has connections? So what if a popular but morally unworthy celebrity is popular but not deserving of their position?

The entertainment industry is no longer the one where talent reigns supreme; now it's an era where popularity is king.

Public attention equals money. As long as you can attract traffic, even if you're a piece of shit, investors can still give you tons of money.

Most of those with connections are the children of the investors. So what if they're ugly? They're more comfortable using their own servants.

Two years ago, when the new vice president took office, he made a series of bold moves.

The first thing they did was to spearhead the talent shows for boy groups and girl groups. These two holiday variety shows alone earned Venus over a billion yuan in net profit.

Subsequently, he personally promoted seven or eight popular young male and female actors, securing them roles in over twenty idol dramas within two years, which also brought Venus considerable rewards.

So what if people ridicule me for having no taste? So what if I damage the reputation of the company?

Please, with the economy in a downturn and so many companies on the verge of bankruptcy, making money is the most important thing right now!

How can you build a reputation when you can't even afford to eat!

Since everyone here is a capitalist, naturally everything revolves around money.

The board of directors had no complaints about the vice president's ability to make money.

Although Holland held a very high position at Venus, the board of directors was not her sole authority, and she could not do anything to this vice president.

Xie Junfei also fully understood Huo Lan's decision to bring her here.

That vice president seems to be riding high right now, practically a walking money-printing machine in the entertainment industry.

But he always takes the path of draining the pond to catch all the fish.

Once a company's reputation declines, it's not easy to recover.

Previously, when people in the industry talked about Venus, they all praised her, and no one had anything to say about the actress who played Venus.

Even many well-known directors in the industry go to Venus to select actors for their films.

The main characters are naturally the best actors and actresses in Venus, but other supporting characters can also do Venus a favor by being given to newcomers within Venus.

Anyway, Venus's artists are guaranteed in terms of character and acting skills, so it doesn't matter who they're given to. Who knows if actors from other companies will cause trouble for the director?

This positive cycle of seniors mentoring juniors and supporting each other has greatly facilitated the emergence of new actors in the Venus series.

Back then, any newcomer with some talent would choose Venus as their first choice.

But it is different now.

With the surge in popularity of actresses associated with Venus, the industry has begun to question the very existence of Venus.

The departure of the three Golden Horse Award winners (Best Actress, Best Newcomer, and Best Actor) from Venus this year has raised questions about the allocation of resources within Venus.

As far as Xie Junfei knows, the renowned director Mr. Qiao also severed ties with Venus because of the actress's alleged association with a popular young actor to join the film crew.

With fewer job opportunities, even senior employees are unemployed. How can you expect to mentor junior employees? That's wishful thinking!

Therefore, internal strife is frequent in the film and television department, with fierce factional struggles that sometimes even alarm the higher-ups.

But what truly ignited Holland's efforts to take action and rectify the chaos was this incident—

At that time, a capitalist's ugly son entered Venus, wanting to replicate Holland's path to fame.

Even though their body proportions don't meet the standards, they still insist on doing so.

And that vice president was an idiot. He bypassed Holland and called a well-known designer under the name of Venus, hoping to get this little model to walk in the designer's spring haute couture collection.

Trusting Holland, the designer agreed.

Who knew that a week before the haute couture show, on the night of the first rehearsal, the designer would realize what kind of person this little model was.

Average looks, terrible catwalk skills, awful posture, and most importantly, an extremely arrogant and rude attitude!

Every haute couture show is the result of the designer's hard work. In order to prevent this haute couture show from being ruined by this bad apple, the designer immediately called Holland.

Holland was furious at this unexpected disaster, but he still had to clean up the mess.

Finally, as compensation to the designer, Holland personally flew to Paris to be the closing model for the haute couture show.

Upon returning from Paris, the first thing Holland did was fire the young model.

The second thing is to use the Huo family's power to completely bankrupt the family behind that little model, making an example of them to warn others.

Once this incident occurred, which caused the deputy general manager of the film and television department to lose face on the spot, the power struggle between Huo Lan and the deputy general manager at the top level was completely launched.
