“Follow me!”
Teacher Zhou shouted. Including Teacher Wang, the artistes who came behind immediately left. Xu Wenping’s expression was calm.
Jiang Yueming didn’t dare to raise his head and look at Xu Wenping. Although he looked at the artists who had left with a hint of regret and heartache in his eyes, he didn’t dare to ask them to stay.
Xu Wenping sat down and saw that Director Liu and a few old artists who were sitting at the head of the table did not leave. He raised his eyebrows and sneered, “Why aren’t you leaving yet?”
Director Liu looked at Jiang Yueming.
“This is the chairman of the Imperial Corporation, Chairman Xu,” Jiang Yueming introduced softly.
Director Liu looked surprised as if he had suddenly realized something. Then, he smiled lightly and said, “So it’s Chairman Xu. We also feel very sorry that the banquet ended on bad terms. However, before we leave, we have to clarify
ourselves.”
“We still admire Mr. Jiang’s film studio. If there’s any filming cooperation in the future, we’ll do it as usual.”
Director Liu’s smile was neither servile nor overbearing. It was also the last line of an old artist. Xu Wenping did not blame him. From the beginning to the end, he could see that these two groups of people seemed to be superior, but in fact, they were completely different.
Xu Wenping nodded and said softly, “I’m a businessman. There’s nothing much to say. If someone respects me, 1’11 respect them. In normal business dealings, you can just talk to Yueming.”
Director Liu nodded gently. Finally, he gave Xu Wenping a thumbs up and said, “Mr. Xu is indeed a sentimental person.”
“However, 1 have to remind you that although we don’t really like those trash artistes, the audience recognizes them. They control a lot of traffic and are colluding with each other. Without these celebrities, your entertainment company might not be able to do well.”
How could Xu Wenping not know?
Wasn’t this the reason why Jiang Yueming had to bend his knees? Those celebrities themselves had a lot of traffic and resources, which was also the reason why they dared to talk nonsense.
To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry relied on these people. Otherwise, the so-called film and television base that Jiang Yueming had built would be like an unfinished building and would not be able to generate any benefits.
In fact, Xu Wenping could understand what Jiang Yueming had done just now. After all, if he had caused the company to suffer losses, it would be his fault as the CEO.
Xu Wenping was different.
He could accept this loss.
After listening to Director Liu’s words, Xu Wenping’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Then, he chuckled and said, “Without celebrities, what are you afraid of? Without an artist, what was there to be afraid of? We can just nurture a few.”
Xu Wenping’s words made everyone’s expression change drastically.
In Xu Wenping’s mind, many works of art from the parallel world were imprinted.
The system’s products were definitely top-notch.
Director Liu and the others looked at each other, then smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Xu’s idea is indeed magnificent. Then we’ll wait and see. We do hope that Mr. Xu can nurture some outstanding performing artists, so that we can use more people.”
“I’ll take my leave today!”
Director Liu and the others also retreated.
At this moment, there were only three people left at the dining table: Xu Wenping, Jiang Yueming, and Nangong Yiran, whose eyes were shining.
Xu Wenping looked over coldly and said, “They’ve already left, why aren’t you leaving yet?”
“I…” Nangong Yiran’s expression flickered, and she said, “Teacher Zhou is an artiste from Jingdu Entertainment. Coincidentally, I’ve already terminated my contract with Jingdu Entertainment. I’m here today to sign an agreement with Mr. Jiang and join Imperial Entertainment.”
Xu Wenping glanced at Jiang Yueming.
“There are also some second-and third-tier celebrities,” Jiang Yueming said in a low voice. “Among the A-list celebrities, the only one who was invited and interested was Miss Nangong Yiran.”
Xu Wenping looked surprised.
“Didn’t you realize that 1 was going against the entire entertainment industry just now? Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be famous and will get into trouble if you follow me?”
Nangong Yiran’s expression flickered, and then she said calmly, “Actually, I don’t mind. As long as the contract fee is appropriate, it doesn’t matter where 1 stay. If your company doesn’t have any business, I’ll have fewer jobs and earn some extra money.”
Xu Wenping raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nangong Yiran smiled. “But I’m a little surprised. 1 always thought you were bragging. I didn’t expect you to really be the chairman of Imperial Corporation!”
“Haha!” Xu Wenping smiled lightly and did not answer this boring question. He walked in front of Nangong Yiran and extended his hand to shake her hand. Then, he said, “Welcome to the team.”
“Happy cooperation!”
Nangong Yiran smiled and said, “I still want to ask…”
Without waiting for her to speak, Xu Wenping shook his head and interrupted, “If you think that you won’t have any jobs if you join our company, then you’re wrong.”
“Yueming, contact Director Liu later. I’ll come up with the script. I’ll take out io billion yuan and film three movies for me. The three movies are shot together, and Nangong is still the female lead. The Imperial Corporation can’t take this lying down.”
Xu Wenping rubbed his chin.
The plot had already taken shape in his mind, as well as the complete template.
Jiang Yueming looked surprised and said in surprise, “Chairman… The people who arrived today were basically the top talents of the entertainment industry. Although there are still a few people who haven’t arrived yet, those people basically have contracts. Do you know anyone… A novelist? The scriptwriter?”
Xu Wenping chuckled. “I don’t need to know him. I can create my own.”
Nangong Yiran’s jade-like lips opened slightly, and she was rather surprised. Disbelief flashed in her small eyes. Once again, she felt that this young man in front of her, who was filled with killing intent and ruffian aura, was definitely not a literary artist.
However, the surprise in Jiang Yueming’s eyes only flashed for a moment before it eased up. There was even a faint admiration in his eyes.
Xu Wenping turned around to take his thermos flask and said, “Prepare some food for me in the office. 1 want to show these arrogant artistes the consequences of not using bean buns as rations!”
Xu Wenping was planning to burn the midnight oil.
But he had never been so angry before.
If he didn’t cause a huge commotion in the entertainment industry, he would be letting down the system’s trust!
After Xu Wenping left, Nangong Yiran looked at Jiang Yueming in a daze and said, “Mr. Jiang…This Chairman Xu looks… He’s really young and impulsive. Can he do it?”
“Remove the question mark.”
Jiang Yueming patted Nangong Yiran’s shoulder in excitement and said, “He can!”
“To tell you the truth, I’ve never seen the Chairman really take anything seriously. He often gives me a casual reminder that will benefit me for the rest of my life.. This time… He’s getting serious!”
