Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Hearing Fang Huiya's words, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said confidently, "Huiya, you haven't been in the entertainment industry for too long and been assimilated by those people, have you?"

Be confident. In today's entertainment industry, which company has the right to say it wants to exclude us? Don't people say that TopMedia is the aircraft carrier of the entertainment industry?

What is an aircraft carrier? It's a powerful weapon of a major power!

Since Pinnacle is the aircraft carrier of the entertainment industry, it should do what an aircraft carrier should do, and not compete with those small fry for food. Our goal should be Hollywood in the great United States.

I know that in the current film industry, capital takes the lion's share, celebrities take a small share, and the remaining ashes are mixed with excrement and forced to be swallowed by the audience.

When the audience said this stuff smelled bad, they said the audience didn't know how to appreciate it and were trashy audience members.

The audience really didn't want to eat this stuff, so they said the film industry was in winter.

They claim to treat their audience as their benefactors, but in reality, they do everything a disobedient son should do. Over time, it's only natural that the audience will eventually complain.

Fang Huiya said with a wry smile, "You make it sound so easy. Everyone knows that content is king, but good TV dramas are not easy to produce. Not only is the production cycle long and the cost high, but if you misjudge the market, you may lose everything."

Films and television dramas featuring popular or big-name celebrities, while generally receiving mediocre reviews, have a built-in fan base. Even if they don't make a huge profit, they won't lose a lot either, making them more cost-effective.

"But this is not a long-term solution. In the end, the audience is not stupid, and neither are the TV stations, cinemas, and advertisers who pay the money."

These poorly made films and television dramas might be able to get by for a few days at first, but in the long run, the audience will stop buying into them, and the producers will inevitably stop supporting them as well.

Don't assume these TV dramas won't lose money. Their actors' salaries are so high, plus the ever-increasing production costs, they might just flop one day.

Take Liu Ying, for example. Ever since she left our company, she thought she was a big star and that her fans would support her. But her acting skills consisted only of staring and using green screen effects, resulting in the production company losing a fortune.

Fang Huiya said with a grin, "What, you're still hung up on your ex-girlfriends? Should I step in and put them in their place?"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "What kind of lovers are they? Lovers have to have feelings to be called lovers. My relationship with them is just a business partnership. The others are just incidental."

Now that the partnership has ended, they've been with me for several years, and I've had my fill of fun. I've never thought of suppressing or slandering them.

It's just that there's a lot of discussion about these things online right now, and I'm just using it as a typical example; I don't mean anything else by it.

The voices on the internet are more authentic than those of traditional media and film critics; you should listen to their voices more.

I'm not a professional in the film and television industry, but I am a professional businessman.

In the business world, making shoddy products can sometimes bring in quick profits, but if you observe closely, you'll see that the companies that eventually grow into industry leaders are all producing high-quality goods.

Therefore, as a leading force in the entertainment industry, Dingdian Media must firmly follow its own path and not be disturbed by short-sighted peers.

I'll say it again: when you only think about doing things and not about making money, and you treat money as something worthless, money will be like a grandson, obediently running to your knees to please you.

If you only think about how to make money and treat it like a precious gem, money will become like a haughty fairy who will play with you for a while before drifting away to someone else's arms.

Fang Huiya said somewhat awkwardly, "You make it sound so easy for you. It's easy for you to say when you're not in my shoes. Dingdian is such a big company, and I have so many people under me who are waiting to make a living. The pressure is immense!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said with an air of confidence and arrogance, "Look at what you're saying. You think you're under a lot of pressure just because you're running Dingdian Media? What about me, who controls the entire Li Group? Do I even need to live?"

Then, he said to Fang Huiya earnestly, "When people don't have money, they don't really have many choices. They have to work hard to make money and struggle to make a living."

However, once a person reaches a certain position and level, especially after achieving financial freedom, they should not continue to strive for money, nor should they live merely to survive. They should have some spiritual ideals and pursuits.

As for your claim that many people are waiting for you to feed them, that's actually a form of self-aggrandizement and self-deception. I dare say, these people wouldn't starve if they left our Peak.

For them, they are earning money by selling their labor, while we are using their labor to earn money for ourselves.

They are not so humble, nor are we so great; they are not helpless lambs, nor do we bear so much responsibility.

So-called corporate culture is just a means to increase the cohesion and centripetal force of company employees, and improve their work efficiency and enthusiasm. To put it bluntly, it's about making them better able to make money for us.

As a boss, you can't let yourself be assimilated by the company culture. You must think about problems from a higher perspective so that you don't lose your way forward.

"But if I don't empathize with them, isn't corporate culture just empty talk?"

"Corporate culture is not just empty talk, but it's not a kindergarten where everyone is happy together either. In fact, corporate culture is a stabilizer that ensures the company's sustainable development."

However, for a company, it is not only necessary to be stable, but also to move forward. If a company does not move forward, it will eventually be left behind and eliminated by others.

Therefore, you can empathize with them, but you can't just empathize; you also need a clear understanding in order to lead your employees forward.

Fang Huiya nodded: "Alright then, I will try to adjust the development strategy of Dingdian. However, Dingdian started out relying on variety shows and TV dramas. I think we can't make too big of an adjustment in these two channels."

If adjustments are absolutely necessary, I think it would be safer to start with the film or animation industries, which are currently in their early stages.

Li Xiaofeng nodded in agreement: "You're right. At the very least, our variety shows should remain the same, but in terms of TV drama production, we should try to keep the actors' salaries down and focus more on the script and production."
