You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

As the Spring Festival approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and more things to do.

Li Yiran and Le Yan successfully passed the four rounds of rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala. After passing the final stage, their names will appear on the rehearsal program list.

Once they participate in the rehearsal, the possibility of their program being eliminated is very low. At this moment, they can be said to have one foot on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Performing on the Spring Festival Gala means that Li Yiran will not be able to go home for the New Year this year.

She has to get together with her family during the Spring Festival every year, so she booked plane tickets for her parents before the Spring Festival. No matter whether they can get through the last hurdle, they will celebrate the Spring Festival in Kyoto this year. Le Yan's house has not been returned, and after the old couple came, Li Yiran and Le Yan lived downstairs, while Jiang Yanping and Li Zhongda lived upstairs.

After taking care of the chores in life, there is still a lot to do in career.

The end of the year is a time when award ceremonies and various grand ceremonies are held one after another. With their outstanding performance and popularity this year, Le Yan and Li Yiran have stolen the limelight at various large-scale domestic events and gained a huge wave of traffic.

Thanks to his outstanding performance both domestically and internationally, LeYan's endorsement value has risen again. Ni Zhen consulted the opinions of Zhang Yan and Ji Xueli, and after seeking the consent of Ye Xinchun, he set the price at 2000 million per year.

Since male artists are more valuable, LeYan's endorsement fee exceeds that of Li Yiran, making him the most valuable person in the studio. This price is unmatched even by superstars.

At the Superstar Annual Meeting at the end of the year, boss Ye Xinchun mentioned LeYan many times in her speech. She said that Superstar created a myth this year, a myth of creating a "top stream" in just one year. She encouraged all Superstar people to keep moving forward, keep working hard, and work together to create more myths next year!

In important occasions with the presence of many big names in the same industry, Ye Xinchun gave Le Yan the title of "top streamer", announcing that Le Yan had finally reached the highest place.

In this entertainment industry, who dares to question Ye Xinchun?

At this year's annual meeting, Le Yan did not sit at the artist table, but was arranged to sit at the main table of the management where Ye Xinchun was.

Although he and Ye Xinchun had frequent interactions in private and even met yesterday, Ye Xinchun still had a lot to tell him on this special day.

"You now have traffic, fame, and a fan base, but what you lack is works and honors. You must make up for this next year."

Le Yan nodded obediently:
"Next year's goal is to take steady steps and, based on the traffic, prove my strength to the public."

Top flow, as the name suggests, refers to 'traffic'.

LeYan has achieved success in terms of traffic, but he still has a long way to go in terms of professional recognition.

Next year, he aims to hit the Spring Festival box office champion with the movie "Charlotte's Troubles".

"Sweet Honey", a high-quality TV series endorsed by the government, is broadcast simultaneously in both places.

There is a second music album to be released.

There is also the Grand Slam actress Ge Man who carries his sedan chair, and Peng Yiwei has worked hard to create an art film around him.
With so many works coming out next year, Le Yan believes that his professional ability will definitely be seen by everyone.

"If you are unsure about anything, come and ask me." Ye Xinchun said earnestly.

"Okay." Le Yan agreed happily.

Le Yan and Ye Xinchun chattered quietly for a while, then looked up and saw that they were surrounded by people holding wine glasses and looking flattering.

They were so engrossed in their conversation just now, I don’t know how long they have been waiting.
Le Yan quickly stood up to make way for these people. The horrible annual meeting toast session was about to begin again!

There were several people between his original seat and Ye Xinchun. Because the person next to the boss left, Le Yan sat here to talk to her.

Seeing a crowd of people surrounding Ye Xinchun to toast, Le Yan returned to his original seat. Seeing that Ji Xueli, Liu Min and other familiar faces at the table were gone, he also stood up and left, intending to go to the artist table to check on Deng Xuefeng and Li Yiran.

Signing with LeYan Studio = signing a superstar.

These two big-name stars also came tonight to experience the atmosphere of the company's annual meeting.

Le Yan was worried that they could not adapt to this environment, so he walked faster, but was stopped as soon as he left his position.

They were the group of people who had just come to toast Ye Xinchun. After they had toasted Ye Xinchun, they came to toast him.
Le Yan was so panicked that he kept glancing at the reactions of other people at the table.

There are so many senior executives sitting at the table. Why are you toasting me instead of them after you toast Mr. Ye?

"I'm Zhang Miao from the Finance Department. Teacher Le Yan, please take care of me next year."

"I am Statistician Oda, wishing you a happy new year and happiness to your family."

"I'm Yu Xiaoyu, the cashier. I just joined the Superstar family this year. This should be the first time you meet me!"

Le Yan met them on the way out, without a cup in his hand, and said awkwardly:

"Sorry, I'll go back and get the cup."

"No, no, please feel free to do as you please. I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"

"."

There are too many employees at Superstar.

Once you start the toasting process, it's like a wheel that's hard to stop.

Le Yan had just finished dealing with the Finance Department when the Legal Department arrived.

After greeting the legal department, the marketing and planning departments were already queuing up behind me.

Then came the content division, administration, marketing, operation and maintenance, offline activities and cafeteria, and even his "mother-in-laws" artist management department, all of whom came to toast him.

At last year's annual meeting, Le Yan held up a glass and toasted each department one by one. This year, all the departments came to toast him. This made Le Yan more convinced of what Ji Xueli often said - the taste of power will make you want to leave it once you try it.

But besides power, there seem to be other reasons for LeYan's rising reputation within the company.
"Le Yan, I admit that I had some prejudices against you before, and I also had some complaints about your position as the head of the large entertainment division, but I didn't expect you to really do something practical for us. The policy of applying for internal publicity is very important to our project team. If it weren't for Liu Zhuangzhuang, we wouldn't know that it was you who pushed for it. On behalf of myself and the directors of the content division, I thank you!"

"I heard from your classmates that the last time you had a conflict with the variety show director and were reported to everyone, it was because he was disrespectful to the artists on the set and you couldn't stand his face so you fought with him. Afterwards, the director pretended to beg for peace, but you heard him cursing behind his back, 'You must never pamper the artists', and you were so angry that you beat him up?! Le Yan, you are a great hero in our Artist Department!"

As the person in charge of big entertainment, people from the content division and the artist management department would chat with him for a few more words when they came to toast him, because LeYan can really decide their future leader.

However, these people did not show any flattery or compliments towards Le Yan. Instead, they sincerely thanked and supported him.

Le Yan had a deep chat with a few people for a while and found that things were getting more and more wrong.
Have I done these things?

Why did this happen to me?

Until he saw Liu Zhuangzhuang, who was surrounded by directors in the distance, raising his glass to him in the gap between the people, and saw his good brothers Xie Zhenyuan, Fang Xiaoyu and Qi Rui gathered together and grinned at him. It turned out that in places he didn't notice, there were so many people who had been "paying attention" to him.

Le Yan walked towards them with a grin on his face.

Brothers, thank you so much!

But on the way, he was stopped again.
Le Yan wanted to respond with a few words and get away quickly, but when he saw the face of the person who came, he was frightened and said "Aiya" respectfully:

"Mr. Tian, ​​please don't respect me. I can't bear it!"

Standing opposite him was Tian Ni, the former general manager of the content division. In a sense, she was also LeYan's mentor. It was her unique vision that supported LeYan in planning "Sing My Song" and "Singer". LeYan's backlog of works to be broadcast was also given to him by Tian Ni when she was in office.

No matter what Tian Ni’s current situation is, how can Le Yan make his benefactor respect him?

Tian Ni still had a smile on her face, but gentleness was no longer the main tone. She looked more experienced and vicissitudes of life.

Le Yan's reaction made her feel warm inside, and she gently patted Le Yan's shoulder:

"It's different now than before. This glass of wine——"

Le Yan smiled and hugged her, patted her on the back, and interrupted her:

"I'm still me, just more 'powerful'."

He left Tian Ni and said gently:
"If you are not feeling well, I will do my best to help you."

On the surface, Ye Xinchun and Liu Min were responsible for Tian Ni's downfall, but Le Yan was also not unrelated. If he had not had a conflict with the director on the set, none of the things that happened later would have happened.

All I can say is that the business world is like a battlefield. There are no purely good people or purely bad people. Everyone's destiny is just different.

Seeing his former patron Tian Ni like this, Le Yan still felt very sorry.

As long as it is within his ability, he will help.

Tian Ni pushed her glasses and smiled with satisfaction:
"Your words are enough."

In the end, Le Yan did not leave the senior management table because people kept toasting him.

Deng Xuefeng and Li Yiran saw that Le Yan was taking a long time to come over, so they took the initiative to find him with cups.

"Are you waiting for us to toast you?" Deng Xuefeng asked sarcastically.

Li Yiran sneered and poured Le Yan a full glass of wine:

"Since you like being toasted so much, drink happily tonight."

Le Yan was completely flattered tonight.

This year has not been easy. He has too many feelings in his heart and too many accumulated emotions. Through alcohol, thousands of words are combined into one sentence.
"I love you guys, next year will be even better!"

After finishing the superstar’s annual meeting, Le Yan held his studio’s annual meeting.

This is the first year of the studio’s establishment, how can we not hold a grand annual meeting?
He saw that many bigwigs and senior executives from other companies attended the Superstar Annual Meeting, so he followed suit and also invited many people from outside the studio to attend.

Not to mention the brothers and friends of superstars such as Ji Xueli, Liu Min, Liu Zhuangzhuang, Su Tian, ​​Kong Chao, Xie Zhenyuan, Fang Xiaoyu and Qi Rui, he also invited Ge Man, Bi Xia, Peng Yiwei and Bao Bin, and even the boss Ye Xinchun received an invitation from Le Yan.

Ye Xinchun initially agreed to come, but suddenly said that he couldn't come because of something else on the day. However, Le Yan was not sad at all. Even if Ye Xinchun didn't come, the lineup of this annual meeting was "luxurious" enough.

Liu Min and Ji Xueli can actually appear in the same frame in non-essential situations. Le Yan is so happy.

Ye Xinchun's task for Le Yan was to act as a lubricant between Liu Min and Ji Xueli.

If a conflict arises, he needs to mediate.

If the status of both sides is not equal, Le Yan will work hard to adjust the balance to a level place.

After several months of getting along, Liu Min and Ji Xueli finally understood everything.

Le Yan is neither Ji Xueli’s man nor Liu Min’s man, he is Ye Xinchun’s man!
This situation will not change because of any conditions they promised, so they will no longer waste their time on Le Yan.

It’s just that Le Yan has Ye Xinchun’s support behind him. Out of respect for their boss and importance on Le Yan’s top-tier status, Liu Min and Ji Xueli give Le Yan a lot of face.

Although they were very reluctant to contact each other, they still appeared at the annual meeting of LeYan Studio at the same time.

Apart from Liu Min and Ji Xueli, the incompatible and undercurrent crown princes who Le Yan needed to worry about, the rest of the people attending the studio's annual meeting were all Le Yan's closest people, so the task of entertaining other guests fell on others. Le Yan was the main host of Liu Min and Ji Xueli that night.

The atmosphere was good, and as the Spring Festival holiday was approaching, the two of them also let go of some of the shackles and restraints on their bodies. Under Le Yan's deliberate guidance, they gradually opened their hearts and said some "heartfelt" words.

"I really envy you. I will never have such a good relationship with my boss in my life." After a few drinks, Ji Xueli began to complain.

When Le Yan had a quarrel with the director, he could only throw a tantrum in front of the senior management group, but before that, Liu Min had already talked a lot with Ye Xinchun through personal relationships.

How can he compare to this?

Le Yan curled his lips calmly.
It’s not that difficult to get along well with Ye Xinchun.

Liu Min laughed at herself:

"I envy you too. You have climbed up to your current position step by step. Your subordinates all listen to you and support you. It is so difficult to make the subordinates obey me, an airborne leader."

Ji Xueli waved his hand:
"It's all an illusion. You don't know what they say about me behind my back. No one is easy to control! I have to fight against them every day."

“Are artists so difficult to manage?”

"Hey I'd rather take care of the director. Artists have bad tempers and you can't use force. I'm worried about my hair falling out."

"That's it"

Le Yan picked up an edamame and put it in his mouth, and said casually:

"Is it so difficult?"

On the day of the annual meeting, the director and actors were very nice to him and kept saying thank you to him.

As the year draws to a close, many people give him gifts.
How come I'm called a thug in your mouth?

"That's because you didn't care!" Liu Min and Ji Xueli said in unison.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Le Yan smiled and poured them wine. "I don't know anything. I'm sorry that you two have been troubled by Dawenyu. This glass is for you two!"

"Are you still watching? Le Yan is so old, and you don't even feel comfortable letting him socialize with his colleagues?" Bao Bin had turned Deng Xuefeng's head back for the umpteenth time.

Deng Xuefeng kept staring at Le Yan's table and didn't even drink the wine properly.

"He has been drinking too much recently." Deng Xuefeng narrowed his eyes and said with a cold face.

"Okay, stop worrying about others." Peng Yiwei wiped his mouth, took another sip of beer, looked at Deng Xuefeng with a half-smile and said, "Are you still holding back? What do you want? Just tell me directly."

Can't I guess your little thoughts?
