You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular - Chapter 157
◎In the early morning of this day, Yao Bianliang got on the return plane and returned to Hudi Entertainment. Although she has been on vacation for so long, Hudi Entertainment is still running in an orderly manner, presenting a joyful scene◎
In the early morning of this day, Yao Bianliang got on the return plane and returned to Hudi Entertainment.
Although she has been on vacation for so long, Hudi Entertainment is still running in an orderly manner, presenting a thriving scene.
After more than five years of development, Hudi Entertainment is no longer the original small studio. The scale of the company has gradually expanded from the first floor to three and five floors. And now, they already have a detached office building.
The team of a large company has also expanded from a dozen people at the beginning to thousands of people now.
Obviously, the headquarters in City B is no longer sufficient to maintain the development of the company. Therefore, the company has already planned to establish branches in C City, S City and other urban areas.
As the boss of the company, Yao Bianliang certainly has an independent office in the new office building.
The office faces south, with a row of clean and transparent glass windows in front, illuminating the whole room spaciously and brightly.
Various small snacks are neatly arranged on the table, and a special coffee machine is on the right. Next to the green plants, two fluffy cats are lying on the mat, basking in the sun comfortably.
“Sister Liang, so you still remember that you have an entertainment company under your name? I thought you had forgotten.”
Assistant Chen knocked on the door of Yao Bianliang’s office, looking at her leisurely look, a little sad.
Yao Bianliang, the shopkeeper who shook hands, coughed dryly: “The company’s business operation is not something that I, a layman, are good at. It is obviously safer to leave it to professionals like you.”
Hudi Entertainment has now become a leading domestic entertainment company. Apart from Yao Bianliang, the nominal boss, the company’s employees also perform their duties. Each sector, such as capital operation, public relations operation, and project promotion, has its corresponding person in charge.
It’s like a large machine, each part is turning in its corresponding position.
2 p.m.
Yao Bianliang entered the online meeting on time and found that all the core members of Hudi Entertainment had arrived.
Due to the nature of entertainment companies, artists and managers are destined to go to various places to film and attend events. It is definitely impossible for everyone to gather in the company for a meeting at the same time.
Therefore, only video conferencing can be used to solve this problem.
This meeting is different from the previous ones, Yao Bianliang, the legendary boss in the industry, came to the meeting in person.
Therefore, everyone cheered up and completed their reports one by one.
“In the most recent quarter, we have promoted two large-scale TV series, two small-budget TV series, and one movie. Among them, “A Thousand Miles of Immortal Master” and “Qinghui Traveler” have exploded, scoring 8.3 points and 9.0 points respectively. Points. Chen Dongli, Xue Huanhuan and other actors all have very eye-catching performances…”
“This quarter, we have a total of 12 albums that have been released successively. Among them, Ji Linyin’s album “Tomorrow” rushed to the top of the sales volume on that day, with a score of 4.5 stars; in addition, the selection of the variety show “Best Singer” has also begun. Preparations…”
“The company has newly signed 8 artists, 2 directors, 2 screenwriters, and 1 agent. We have finalized 5 key projects for the next quarter…”
Everyone’s reports were carried out in an orderly manner.
Yao Bianliang listened, while looking at the data displayed on the PPT, thoughtful.
Very good, when everyone reports their work, they mainly focus on the quality of the work.
In fact, for most entertainment companies, the rating of a work is not important. If it can make money, it is a successful project.
However, the judging criteria of Hudi Entertainment is not the case.
Obviously, when a company judges employee performance based on “quality” and supplemented by profit, everyone will naturally work harder to pursue quality.
After the last person reported, Yao Bianliang turned on the microphone.
“Today I have a meeting with everyone. In addition to summarizing the work and performance of this quarter, I also want to take this opportunity to announce some decisions.”
Regarding this arrangement, Yao Bianliang also considered for a long time.
Hudi Entertainment is now growing stronger and stronger, and the company system should continue to innovate.
She is indeed the boss of this entertainment company, but sometimes it doesn’t go exactly according to the boss’s plan in which direction a company develops.
Even if she can guarantee now, Hudi Entertainment will not follow the old path of Lu Group. So what about ten or twenty years from now? Everything is uncertain.
“First of all, there is the issue of artist training,” Yao Bianliang said, “At present, the company has achieved remarkable results in discovering artists and developing projects, but training has been neglected by us.”
“From now on, we need to gradually establish a complete training system. Just follow the model of ‘assessment-training-production-work-continue further study’.”
“After the artists pass the assessment, the company will train them in a targeted manner to make up for their shortcomings and develop their strengths.”
“And after an artist makes his debut and has a work, it doesn’t mean he can stop learning. The company needs to arrange for them to pursue advanced studies and play a certain role in leading and supervising.”
If Hudi Entertainment wants to develop for a long time, it is definitely not enough to rely on the introduction and excavation of talents from the outside.
A mature entertainment company still has to have its own method of cultivating talents.
In today’s entertainment companies, artists generally have to undergo corresponding training before they debut.
However, after the artist made his debut and became famous, “training” became a neglected issue.
In the entertainment circle, there are many actors who were very aura when they first debuted, but after they became famous, their acting skills were mediocre and they failed to recover after a setback.
Yao Bianliang does not hope that Hudi Entertainment will face such a predicament in the future.
Therefore, whether you are an actor or a singer, you should not stop learning after becoming famous.
Only by continuously improving one’s own strength can one go further and further on this road.
Yao Bian paused, and continued: “Secondly, according to the company’s current system, artist ratings are mainly established through two standards: assessment and work performance. The higher the artist rating, the better the resources will be allocated.”
“Whether it is an artist or an employee, it is a violation of regulations to conduct false marketing hype and create false data.”
“These rules and regulations have been perfected, but with the development of time, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will take risks in order to obtain more resources and do things that violate professional standards.”
In every industry, there will be no shortage of cancer.
It is also difficult for Yao Bianliang to guarantee that there will be people who are obedient and obedient in Hudi Entertainment. Once these people form a group together and form a small group, it may even ruin the atmosphere of the entire company.
By that time, the whole circle will be rotten, and these so-called “rules and regulations” will exist in name only.
Yao Bianliang: “Therefore, Hudi Entertainment needs to establish a more comprehensive supervision system and establish an independent supervision department.”
“The monitoring team exists independently of all departments and only obeys orders from the boss. Some members of the monitoring team are on the surface, while the other part is hidden among various departments. Of course, no matter what the situation is, their responsibilities are mainly There are two aspects—monitoring and review.”
Yao Bian paused for a moment, and glanced at the other people in the meeting room.
“How Hudi Entertainment will eventually develop and what internal entertainment will look like depends on the efforts of everyone here.”
“I know that in the future development, Hudi will not be limited to the film and music circles.”
“For example, the mobile game “Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas” is a successful derivative IP case. After that, we may also get involved in more and more industries.”
“However, I hope everyone will keep in mind one thing: artistic creation is not a commercial project, and film, television and song works should not become toys for capital.”
“No matter how far the company develops, I hope that everyone’s original aspiration will remain the same—to create the best quality works for the public. This is our original aspiration.”
…
The meeting lasted until five o’clock.
Yao Bianliang quit the online meeting, stood up, and couldn’t help yawning.
Assistant Chen made notes of the whole process by the side, and wrote down every point of the meeting. He sorted out the documents while looking in Yao Bianliang’s direction.
For some reason, Sister Liang’s speech today gave him a strange feeling.
It’s as if… She’s going to leave immediately in the next second and go on vacation again.
“Sister Liang, when we finish writing the plan, I will send it to you for a look?” Assistant Chen asked tentatively.
Yao Bianliang waved his hand: “No need, in the next year or two in the world, I should not care about the company’s affairs.”
Assistant Chen: “…”
Well, it seems that it is not his illusion.
Sister Liang really doesn’t want to manage the company at all!
This also means that the burden on his shoulders has become much heavier.
Without paying attention to Assistant Chen’s resentful eyes, Yao Bianliang was in a good mood and stretched very easily.
It’s a wonderful feeling to not have to act or manage a company.
Goodbye, everyone, she is going on a long journey.
———
The time that followed passed quickly.
In early April, Yao Bianliang received an invitation letter from the Oscars.
As a nominee for Best Actress, the organizer sincerely extended an invitation to her, and said that she could bring her relatives and friends to Country M to participate.
In mid-April, Hudi Entertainment officially established a supervision team.
The leading group issued a sound supervision system and training system, and the company’s development has been steadily advancing.
At the beginning of May, the mobile game of the same name adapted from “Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas” was successfully launched.
This mobile game has exquisite painting style, excellent operation feel, and the PC terminal and mobile terminal can be connected to each other, and even cross-platform online.
Therefore, as soon as the game was launched, it immediately attracted countless players, and the popularity instantly rushed to the top of the list.
…
Lu Group, headquarters.
More than half of the company’s seats have been vacant, and the few employees who are on the job have no intention of working. They wholeheartedly submit their resumes everywhere to find a job for themselves.
In the office, Director Lu sat on the office chair with a pale face, as if all his energy had been completely drained from his body.
The game “Feng Ji Xianxia” was launched. According to the original plan, the daily turnover of this game should be around 60 million. But now…
“Director Lu, the daily turnover of this game is less than 5 million, and it keeps falling,” the special assistant sighed, “Also, the response from the players is mediocre, and they complain about the poor quality of the game…”
This “Feng Ji Xianxia” was developed by them with a huge investment. It can be said that it is a last-ditch battle.
Whether the company can survive depends on whether the project can make money.
But now, things are starting to go in the worst direction. They were launched at the same time as the “Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas” game, and they were beaten in all aspects.
Judging from the current situation, let alone making money, they can’t even get back their money.
“Director Lu, if we continue to operate, we may continue to lose money.” The special assistant hesitated for a moment, and finally told the cruel truth.
This project should be stopped.
Dong Lu’s face was pale, and his breathing became short of breath. He clasped his fingers tightly on the tabletop, as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end he could only let go.
The only hopeful project will also be announced to be discontinued.
Then next, are they going to announce the bankruptcy of the Lu Corporation?
“No, you can’t do this!” Lu Yanchen stood up with an ugly face.
If it was two years ago, Lu Yanchen would be willing to let the group stop and sell the property in a package.
In this way, even if they are no longer the No. 1 wealthy family, the money is enough for them to live a life of luxury.
After moving abroad, no one will know him, and he can start a new life.
Now, however, the situation has changed.
Stop at this time, the company can only declare bankruptcy!
The company’s assets will be liquidated, and all properties will be confiscated; even the villas under their names will be put up for online auction.
Not only that, but they will also face huge debts for the rest of their lives.
Moving out of the villa, unable to go abroad, restricting high consumption, life is precarious…
Moreover, the people they have offended will definitely not let them go.
Lu Yanchen couldn’t imagine such a scene.
“Young Master Lu, whether you stop or not, this project is hopeless,” the assistant said, “It’s nothing more than the difference between death and slow death.”
Lu Yanchen tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
The company is going to close down, and even an assistant dares to point fingers in front of them?
The Lu family hasn’t fallen yet!
“Shut up! Are you here to speak?” Lu Yanchen’s voice was very cold.
The assistant lowered his head and didn’t speak any more.
He wanted to persuade him at first, but when he saw Lu Yanchen’s appearance, he stopped talking.
The current Lu Yanchen is almost like a gambler with red eyes. Holding on to the last chance, he gave everything he had, but in the end he was cut off abruptly.
He didn’t have much sanity left, only endless despair and madness left.
“True, Duty”
There were two knocks on the door, and a female assistant’s voice sounded outside the door: “Director Lu, Young Master Lu…the company has received the documents distributed by the above.”
She said, opened the door and walked in, and put it on the table.
Dong Lu was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned pale and his lips trembled a little: “What does this mean?”
Lu Yanchen also turned his head and looked over. The series of blows almost made him breathless, his mind was buzzing at this moment, and he almost lost the ability to think.
The female assistant said: “Someone reported our company and cited a lot of evidence – we are going to be interviewed.”
After being interviewed, the next step is to take it off the shelves, stop its operation, and rectify the violations as required.
If it were the past, this would be nothing more than a little trouble for them.
After the rectification is completed, continue to go online.
But at this juncture, asking them to make rectifications – this is the life of Lu Shi!
Not only Lu Dong was aware of this problem, but Lu Yanchen also quickly figured it out.
He was stunned for a while, then walked quickly in two steps in three steps, and grabbed the documents on the table.
When he saw the words above, his face became paler and paler.
“No, how could this be?”
who is it! Who deliberately picked this moment to report them. This person clearly took advantage of their most dangerous time to give the final blow.
But if something like this happens at another time, the company has room for rescue. But now…
This was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Lu Yanchen’s legs were a little weak, and finally he sat back on the sofa.
It’s over, it’s over.
…
In the end, the Lu Group failed to hold on, and formally filed for bankruptcy liquidation half a month later.
The assets under Lu’s name were sold off one after another, and Lu Yanchen and the Lu family had to move out of the villa with their crude luggage.
#Lushi Group filed for bankruptcy liquidation#

Several entries have been on the hot search one after another.
Most ordinary people don’t have a good opinion of capitalists.
Especially for companies like the Lu Group, since they started their business, they have been cutting leeks and sucking blood, making the whole internal entertainment a mess.
It’s hard for anyone to like such a company.
[Good job, a company like Lu’s should disappear as soon as possible. 】
[Has the Lu Corporation not yet closed down? Haven’t heard of it in recent years. 】
【Congratulations, great joy! This kind of blood-sucking capitalist should be taken to hang street lamps. 】
[Hahahaha this company has been strong for so long, and finally it is still cold. Is that mighty Young Master Lu going to become a “common people” like us? 】
[No, Lu’s company went bankrupt, and their family owed huge debts. Young Master Lu will have to pay off his debts for the rest of his life, how could he become like us ordinary people? dog head】
Netizens rejoiced over this matter, and some bloggers even waved their hands and started a lottery for reposting.
And it was during this time that another piece of news of national concern appeared on the hot search—
