The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 386: Music Association, Film Association, or Federation of Literary and Art Circles?
"No! I'm already busy enough. Whoever wants this position can take it!"

"Zhang Chen, you did it. Now the position over there is vacant. If it weren't for you, no one else would dare to sit in that position."

"I'm from the Music Association, how could I possibly run to the Film Association? How would the seniors who have watched me grow up view me?"

"Just forget it. Who didn't know about the open and covert struggles between you and those people?"

"Then I am also a member of the Music Association. If I say I won't go to the Film Association, then I won't go to the Film Association!"

Zhang Chen and Tong Gang sat opposite each other at the tea table in Zhang Chen's office. It was supposed to be a harmonious tea-tasting party, but it seemed a little discordant because of the argument between the two.

After yesterday's "mantou" incident, Tong Gang went to ask for instructions from his superiors.

The reply given above was also very clear. If Zhang Chen was willing, he would be allowed to work in the Film Association.

But what Tong Gang did not expect was that Zhang Chen refused the power that was delivered to his door so resolutely.

"Then tell me, why did you join the Music Association?" Tong Gang didn't believe it and wanted to find a breakthrough from the reason why Zhang Chen joined the Music Association.

What the Music Association can give, the Film Association may also be able to give.

"If not..." Zhang Chen said halfway and swallowed it back.

"What else?" Tong Gang became interested. Is there really something?
"If I wasn't so passionate about music and wanted to learn from the senior masters, I wouldn't have joined the Music Association." Zhang Chen lied casually.

As for the real reason, it was naturally because his dear aunt was also in the Music Association.

Tong Gang didn't believe Zhang Chen's reason at all, but he had anticipated that Zhang Chen would refuse before he came. After all, after spending such a long time together, he knew Zhang Chen's personality better or less, he just feared trouble.

"It's the same consultant position, and it's also a leisurely position. Why don't you agree?"

"I'm not going anyway, let's have some tea!" Zhang Chen poured a full cup of tea into Tong Gang's cup.

Tong Gang looked at the overflowing tea and rolled his eyes. Couldn't this be more obvious in how he was being driven away?

However, seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of her, he was ready to take out a promise from his leader: "Zhang Chen, you should know that the Film Association and the Music Association are brother organizations, right?"

"Hmm." Zhang Chen took a sip of tea.

There are 14 associations in total, including China Dramatists Association, China Photographers Association, China Filmmakers Association, China Calligraphers Association, China Musicians Association, China Acrobats Association, China Artists Association, China Television Artists Association, China Quyi Artists Association, China Writers Association, China Dancers Association, China Literary and Art Critics Association, China Folk Artists Association, and China Literary and Art Volunteers Association.

These fourteen national associations belong to the same company - the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, abbreviated as China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

They are all members of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

At the same time, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is directly under the Propaganda Department, but it is also a Class B unit.

Among the members of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are various S-level units, as well as 10 industrial federations of literary and art circles such as the China Petroleum Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the National Public A Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

The Music Association where Zhang Chen works is one of the national literary and art associations among its members and is a J-level department unit.

The first leader of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles was Guo.

The third honorary chairman was Mao Dun.

"Zhang Chen," Tong Gang coughed and asked tentatively, "Since you don't want to hold positions on both sides, why don't you just join the Federation of Literary and Art Circles?"

Before Zhang Chen could object, he continued, "You should know that the judges of each award ceremony are composed of members of various artists' associations. If you go to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, then..."

"Ah?" Zhang Chen was stunned.

To be honest, he never thought that Tong Gang would do this to him.

He thought Tong Gang would keep persuading him.

After all, the current Chenguang Group can be said to be the leader in the domestic film and television industry.

It would be unbelievable if the person at the helm of this group didn’t join the Film Association.

Because many industry dynamics and policies must take into account the voices of key practitioners in the industry.

If unnecessary troubles arise between the association and the Chenguang Group due to some misunderstandings, there will inevitably be some friction in the future.

But his reason for refusing to join the association was simple.

Make money, especially abroad.

Identity issues are sometimes a good thing, but sometimes they can become an obstacle to his development.

The most important thing is that this is a powerful unit, and he doesn't want to get involved in it now.

Moreover, her aunt was still a member of the Music Association, and he went to work in a higher-level unit.

This is not okay.

But he had to say it differently when facing Tong Gang: "Director Tong, I'm still young and can't bear such a heavy burden."

"It's not a matter of age now!" Tong Gang waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Chen directly. "Let me ask you, if something happens in the literary and artistic world that doesn't suit your wishes, will you still do the same thing as before?"

"Before?" Zhang Chen pretended to be dumb. "Did anything happen before?"

"Don't fool me. Although you follow the rules, everyone knows your overbearing personality." Tong Gang said unhappily, "I don't need to tell you in detail what you have done and how many people you have sent in, right?"

"Ahem." Zhang Chen awkwardly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Was that his fault?

It was obvious that those people were the ones who provoked him first. He had no choice but to be forced into a corner and filled with righteous indignation to eliminate the harm for the people.

"Don't always make our job more difficult."

"That's because the work done by the Tong Bureau was not detailed enough."

After hearing this, Director Tong almost couldn't catch his breath.

If it were someone else, he would want to slam the table.

How could anyone directly say this about his job?

"Since you can't guarantee it, just supervise it yourself." Tong Gang pointed his finger at Zhang Chen unhappily, "In case the awards set by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles don't suit your tastes."

What is the most important function of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles?
There are 12 national art awards:
Among them, there are 7 drama awards.

Three film awards: China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, China Film Golden Rooster Award
A music award: China Golden Bell Music Award
A TV Award: China TV Golden Eagle Award
And other awards in calligraphy, photography, dance, etc.

The Federation of Literary and Art Circles is responsible for the evaluation of these awards.

"Director Tong, I'll make a phone call." Zhang Chen rarely made a decision on his own, but chose to ask others for advice.

Tong Gang was also a little surprised, but still nodded.

He didn't know who Zhang Chen was going to call, but the person who could give advice on such matters should be someone very important to Zhang Chen.

After a full half hour, Zhang Chen returned to the tea room thoughtfully.

"How is it?" Tong Gang looked at Zhang Chen expectantly.

Zhang Chen didn't answer, just nodded.

"Okay! Hahahaha!" Tong Gang slapped his thigh, very happy, "Then it's settled. The term change will be in November this year, so we don't have to wait too long."

Zhang Chen raised his teacup and took a sip in silence. Tong Gang saw that Zhang Chen seemed to have something on his mind. Although he was curious, he did not ask, but said goodbye directly: "I didn't get to eat at your place, so I just had water. If I go back now, I think I can catch up with the meal in the company cafeteria."

"How can we let Director Tong go back and forth?" Zhang Chen also responded from his deep thoughts, smiled and walked out, "Let Director Tong take a look at our group's employee meals."

"Oh?" Tong Gang asked curiously, "I really want to know what the internal employee benefits of one of the best groups in the country are like."

"That's an explanation."

Zhang Chen put aside his doubts and took Tong Gang to the cafeteria. He began to introduce the employee benefits of Chenguang Group: "I have divided these employee benefits into many levels. The benefits vary according to the position, length of service, and level."

“The most obvious and well-understood one is the housing system.”

"I know that!" Tong Gang answered quickly, "When your group distributed houses a few years ago, it made a lot of people in the industry envious. Many people wanted to pass the national exam and get a stable job, but I think your job at Chenguang Group is as good as a golden one."

What Tong Gang said makes sense.

Take the housing allocation system of Chenguang Group as an example.

Even if someone working in the government office wants to get a house, they have to look at the person's various indicators. It's not that someone can get one just because they have worked longer.

It's no better now than before.

Perhaps the only advantage is the benefits of certain funds and loans.

After some people buy a house with a loan, they can cover the monthly repayments with a certain amount of money alone, which is extremely comfortable.

Moreover, once you start doing this job, you can basically work there until retirement, which is the origin of the "iron rice bowl".

The situation of the Morning Glory Group is similar. At present, except for a few people who were dismissed due to work ability reasons, many people are working hard consciously because of the houses they have been allocated or are about to be allocated.

As the Olympics draws closer, house prices in Yanjing are skyrocketing.

The price has increased from 00 yuan per square meter before 4000 to 1 yuan per square meter.

Although the salaries of Chenguang Group employees are generally more than 20% higher than those of other companies, buying a house and settling down in Yanjing is still an unattainable dream for most ordinary employees.

Therefore, many employees of the Morning Glory Group are hoping to reach five years of service so that they can be allocated a group house.

This house is in the Second Ring Road!

In addition, there are annual bonuses, holidays, holiday benefits, birthday benefits, commuting subsidies, catering subsidies, production subsidies, maternity leave, group gym, sports field, tea room, cafe, and 12 canteens serving eight major cuisines and food from various countries.

what is this?
Now, the first criterion for mothers-in-law in Yanjing to choose sons-in-law is to include employees of Chenguang Group in their consideration.

It’s true that the work benefits of Chenguang Group are good, and family members are also treated preferentially.

There was once an employee of the group whose mother in his hometown was seriously ill. The employee had just moved to Beijing and joined the Chenguang Group not long ago. He simply could not afford the time and money to take care of his mother in his hometown and the high medical expenses.

As a result, after his direct supervisor learned about the situation, he immediately reported it to the top management of the group.

The group’s top management responded immediately.

The first thing we did was to take the employee's mother to the best hospital in Yanjing and pay all the medical expenses. We even hired a nurse for the employee so that he wouldn't have to run back and forth while he was working.

Many colleagues think that Zhang Chen is stupid and has a lot of money.

After hearing this, Zhang Chen felt that these people had very narrow vision.

Is it worth spending hundreds of thousands to get an employee who is loyal to you and willing to work hard for you?
Is it worth spending a fortune on horse bones?
What would talented and capable people who are living in difficult circumstances and have special circumstances think when they hear about this move by the Morning Glory Group?
What will happen to all the injury and illness expenses of employees in the future?
It’s not like the group fails to provide annual physical examinations for its employees or buy insurance for them.

That employee was just a special case.

"The cafeteria of your company," Tong Gang praised while eating, "is much more luxurious than our company's."

"There are just a few more dishes." Zhang Chen tasted today's braised pork and said, "It tastes okay."

"That's a little more than that?" Tong Gang pointed at the large cafeteria that took up a whole floor and was nearly 2000 square meters. "It is said that there are 12 such cafeterias in total?"

"There are too many people. There's nothing we can do." Zhang Chen pointed out the French window. "The group building has 48 floors in total. Now the floors below the 20th floor that were originally rented out have basically been taken back for self-use. With more and more employees, eating is a top priority."

"I see you don't seem to come to the cafeteria to eat very often?"

Tong Gang was a little curious when he saw that Zhang Chen also looked like he was tasting it for the first time.

Aren’t there many group bosses who would go to their employees’ dining areas from time to time to inspect their work in order to demonstrate how close they are to the people?
"Me?" Zhang Chen looked at the employees around him who were curiously and nervously looking over here from time to time, and explained to Tong Gang, "Safety first."

"Yes, you are a big star." Tong Gang also saw the employees around him who wanted to step forward but hesitated because of Zhang Chen's identity. "Sometimes your identity brings a lot of trouble."

Zhang Chen smiled but said nothing.

This is just one of the most insignificant reasons.

If he came every day, these employees wouldn't be as excited as they are today.

The main thing is fear of death.

When ancient royal families were eating, no matter how much they liked a dish, they would not pick it up a second time.

They are just afraid that others will know their preferences and take some hidden actions against them.

Regardless of whether he is overly cautious or not, Zhang Chen is just that cautious.

He even has a dedicated food taster.

When you have money, the most frightening thing is that the money is still there, but the person is gone.

It would be better for him to spend more money to protect his life so that he can enjoy the money he earns.

"Oh, right." Tong Gang swallowed a mouthful of rice and remembered something, "Director Chen's The Promise. What are you going to do?"

"What should we do?" Zhang Chen was curious.

“China Film invested in this movie.”

“Isn’t it normal to lose money on investments?”

Tong Gang nodded, understanding what Zhang Chen meant.

In a word, admit defeat.

At the end of the year, China Film Group had another loss in its account.

It’s not to say that China Film’s investment in movies has never been without losses over the years, but it’s rare for a movie to lose so much all at once and have such a bad reputation.

What's more, it is even more difficult to accept that this is a winner of the Palme d'Or.

Thinking of the Palme d'Or, Tong Gang looked at the new Palme d'Or winner in front of him and said, "I heard you are going to make a movie in Hollywood?"

"Director Tong is well-informed."

"Is there any chance for our Chinese company to invest in it?"

　There is a wedding tomorrow night, and there will be another chapter after 12 o'clock today, but it will be quite late, so you can read it the next day.

　　Then the story begins about the Spring Festival Gala and the filming of a new movie.

　　Finally, please give me rewards and monthly tickets! ! ! !
