Huayu: Starting from managing the Mahua FunAge Theater Troupe

They saw off the ambitious Ning Hao.

Shen Feiyang called Zhao Gang to confirm the time for him to meet with Zhao Benshan next week.

then.

Shen Feiyang arrived at Yu Kai's office.

Although it's Saturday, Yu Kai didn't rest.

Yu Kai has been very busy lately.

Yu Kai was in charge of all the preparatory work for "Struggle", the coordination of the five performance groups, the coordination and feedback of the national tour of the troupe, the preparations for the second Golden Twist Drama Festival, and various year-end matters.

Looking at Yu Kai, who was engrossed in processing documents, Shen Feiyang suddenly thought of Yu Kai's sudden retirement due to illness a few years later: "President Yu, do you think we should hire another senior executive? The troupe needs to expand into the national market, and we also need to plan for TV series and movies. You are managing too many things now, and the pressure is not small. If something happens to your health, I will really feel guilty."

After reviewing the document and signing his name, Yu Kai capped his pen, looked up at Shen Feiyang with a thoughtful gaze, and asked, "Have you reached an agreement with Director Ning?"

Shen Feiyang nodded: "It's settled. Filming should start next summer."

Yu Kai held the pen in his hand and thought for a while: "We should hire another senior executive. The various business lines have been rolled out, and next year will likely see a leapfrog development. The most important task is to open the first batch of Happy Twist branches in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, and set up long-term resident performance teams in these locations. We need to train grassroots managers and those in charge as soon as possible."

"right."

Shen Feiyang leaned back in his chair, thinking as he spoke: "The nationwide expansion of the stage play business and the crosstalk business has been validated by the national tour. The remaining work is the tedious process of in-depth cultivation and replication, which can be handed over to the newly recruited senior executives."

You've been promoted to General Manager, overseeing the film and television business line, as well as overall human resources and finance. The film and television business requires significant investment, is complex, and is crucial to the company's future strategy; I need you to take on this responsibility.

Yu Kai sorted things out in his mind and roughly understood: "Since the company was established, the Happy Twist Troupe, which is responsible for the stage play business, has only a name but no real entity. Usually, the troupe's actors are managed through the Happy Twist Agency subsidiary, thereby achieving management at the troupe level."

"To adjust the business lines, we need to establish the Happy Twist Theater Troupe as a regular department and place it under Happy Twist Culture Communication Co., Ltd. to oversee the entire stage play business line."

"As for Yunshe Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the crosstalk business, it will remain unchanged and will still be controlled through Happy Twist, with all affairs being handled by Happy Twist. The Happy Twist talent agency subsidiary will also remain unchanged, and in the future, the contracts of signed artists for the stage play business will all be under the talent agency."

"After the adjustments, all subsidiaries will still operate their daily offices together with Happy Twist. I will serve as the general manager of Happy Twist, the head of Happy Twist's talent agency, and the head of Feiyang Film & Television. We will also hire an executive vice president to take over the stage play and crosstalk businesses. Is that right?"

Shen Feiyang nodded: "That's right."

"Have you chosen any senior executives yet?" Yu Kai asked with some curiosity.

He assumed that Shen Feiyang had already found someone he liked, which was why he was talking to him.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Feiyang shook his head: "Not yet."

Shen Feiyang then added, "Why don't you try looking among your alumni?"

"The requirements for Peking University students are very high."

"I trust you."

"Alright, I'll ask around."

……

After finishing my business with Yu Kai.

It was already noon.

Yu Kai was going back to have dinner with his wife and children.

Shen Feiyang decided to go out by himself and find something to eat.

drop drop~

Just as Shen Feiyang stepped into the elevator, his phone rang.

He took it out and looked at it.

Li Xiaolu: It's Christmas today! Do you want to see me dressed as a Christmas reindeer?

No wonder she studied in the United States.

Shen Feiyang casually replied: You're bad at the game but love to play, huh?

Li Xiaolu's physical strength is average.

At most, I can only take about ten minutes.

But he's incredibly stubborn and refuses to submit no matter what.

drip...

Li Xiaolu: Hmph, I wasn't in good form yesterday.

Shen Feiyang just finished reading it.

drip...

Li Xiaolu: Santa Claus, can't you grant me a wish? I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I really need your help to fill the emptiness inside.

Shen Feiyang pondered for a moment.

I didn't have anything to do in the afternoon.

He called Li Xiaolu.

"Feed?" came Li Xiaolu's voice from the phone.

Shen Feiyang: "Call me Dad."

"Daddy~ I'm still at the Great Wall Hotel, come quickly, let's have lunch together." Li Xiaolu was very much in character.

……

Thirty minutes later, Shen Feiyang returned to the suite door he had booked the night before and called Li Xiaolu: "Open the door."

"Here you are!"

After a few seconds, Li Xiaolu opened the door.

Looking at her, Shen Feiyang was speechless: "Is it that hot in the room?"

"This is how people are born, I call this returning to simplicity," Li Xiaolu said confidently.

As she spoke, Li Xiaolu snuggled up to Shen Feiyang.

Shen Feiyang turned around and closed the door first.

"Kiss~"

Li Xiaolu wrapped her arms around Shen Feiyang's neck and stood on tiptoe.

She is a little over 1.6 meters tall.

She is petite.

Did I let you kiss me?

pop~

Shen Feiyang casually slapped it hard.

"Ouch~" Li Xiaolu cried out in pain, "You hit me too hard, hurry up and kiss me."

"Eat first. After you finish eating, I'll make sure you don't even have a chance to beg for mercy."

Li Xiaolu had already ordered the food, which was placed on the dining table in the room.

This is a suite with a living room and dining table.

……

After finishing the meal.

I was busy until after 3 p.m.

I rested for more than three hours.

wake.

eat.

After finishing the meal.

Li Xiaolu changed into the Christmas reindeer outfit she had prepared, and she also prepared a Santa Claus costume for Shen Feiyang.

Holding the clothes, Shen Feiyang asked with genuine curiosity, "When did you prepare this?"

"Hey, hurry up and change into it."

Li Xiaolu urged, "Santa Claus used to ride a reindeer, but today I'm going to avenge the reindeer!"

……

Wait until the next day.

Li Xiaolu was simply too tired to play anymore.

The body eventually has its limits.

The underground parking lot of the Great Wall Hotel.

Li Xiaolu reluctantly said goodbye to Shen Feiyang: "I'll contact you again after I calm down."

Shen Feiyang asked worriedly, "Are you still able to drive?"

"It's okay. Go now. Don't worry about me."

Li Xiaolu waved and turned to walk towards her car.

Li Xiaolu drove her car over from where she parked it the night before yesterday morning.

Shen Feiyang couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her cautious steps.

……

December 29th, around 8:00 AM.

Shen Feiyang brought the script for "Country Love" and met with Zhao Benshan, who was staying at the Kunlun Hotel.

Zhao Benshan spent three hours roughly flipping through it.

For a gifted creator like him, a quick glance is enough to determine whether a story is complete or incomplete.

Zhao Benshan was very satisfied with the quality of the script: "It was indeed written while I was in the countryside. The script has a kind of earthy smell, which is nice."

Shen Feiyang wondered if the gap between himself and the master was really that big.

How come he couldn't smell anything?

Zhao Benshan looked at Shen Feiyang: "I'll use this proposal. I'll give you 10% of the project's gross profit. How about that?"

Zhao Benshan does not need Shen Feiyang's investment.

So Shen Feiyang is just a screenwriter, and as a screenwriter, taking 10% of the gross profit is already a lot.

Shen Feiyang nodded slightly: "Okay. Chairman Zhao, there's something else. I want to work on a commercial film project. The person in charge of the project is a professional film director, Ning Hao, the one you met at the Christmas Eve performance. He's very talented, and I think he can make something worthwhile."

"Making movies is not easy. How much do I need to invest?" Zhao Benshan asked with some doubt.

Shen Feiyang's tone remained unchanged: "The budget for the entire project is 1000 million."

"I'll invest 200 million. Is that okay?"

"Chairman Zhao, thank you so much..."

"Don't thank me yet. I have a request: give Xiao Shenyang a role, just a supporting role with a couple of lines." Zhao Benshan's tone revealed a hint of anxiety.

He was genuinely anxious.

The sudden emergence of Shen Teng and Happy Twist has prompted Zhao Benshan, who is not yet fifty and is at the prime of his life, to seriously consider the issue of cultivating a successor.

The apprentices I took on before, like Zhang Xiaofei, just couldn't be promoted no matter what I did. Even though he won second place in "Chinese Comedians," he still couldn't stand on his own.

Zhao Benshan can only try to train Xiao Shenyang.

Shen Feiyang could roughly understand Zhao Benshan's mindset, and he said, "No problem."

"Okay, that's settled then. Let's go have lunch." Zhao Benshan stood up.

Shen Feiyang then stood up.

The two walked outside.

As they walked, Zhao Benshan said to Shen Feiyang, "The future of Northeast China depends on young people like you to forge ahead. We need to cooperate more, not confront each other. If you need any help, just let me know."
