I earn really hard money

Chapter 222 It Was You
When Jiao Tianming heard the chairman's question, he felt a toothache. He thought to himself that the revenue of the variety show department was obviously very healthy and maintained at a normal growth level.

It's just that the revenue growth of the other two departments is indeed a bit fierce.

The online drama department established an independent screenwriting department two years ago, absorbing writers with wild ideas from the Internet to create, and at the same time collecting works from online literature to adapt.

Successfully created several popular word-of-mouth dramas, the income from advertising and website sharing alone exceeded that of the variety show department, not to mention other revenues!
Movie theaters are relatively lucky, and there is no special measure, just because as the people's demand for spiritual civilization and entertainment increases, the attendance rate of theaters is rising steadily.

After gaining customer traffic, increase the sales of snacks and peripherals, and then cooperate with the film company to organize some activities, and the money will be very profitable...

However, Jiao Tianming's variety show department is more difficult. His own top-notch programs can maintain the standard, but they can't support the rapid development of the entertainment industry in the past two years. Variety shows of all kinds have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

In the first eight months of 150 alone, more than [-] notebooks were submitted for review.

Regardless of whether the show is good or not, you will always stretch your neck and take a bite of the cake. Even if you lick it, you will lose some viewers.

When everyone is scrambling to release programs, if there are no new programs in their own family, even if there are not enough new programs, they will lose market share.

"Chairman, it's not that I don't work hard. Judging from the revenue data of previous years, the revenue of the variety show department has not decreased. It's really that Manager Zhao and Manager Liu are too powerful. I feel ashamed, but it also shows the company's strength The income has increased, hehehe..."

In order to avoid blame, Jiao Tianming did not hesitate to flatter the general managers of the other two departments.

However, there is some truth to what he said. The revenue of the variety show department has not changed, but from being the leader to the bottom, the company will naturally earn more.

Talk about something that makes the directors happy, and I will feel better too!
And he is indeed working hard, if he doesn't work hard, it will be even worse...

Manager Zhao smiled and said nothing, Manager Liu waved his hands again and again, expressing that it was not what you said...

"So you can see that everyone is working hard to move forward. All fields are the same. If you sail against the current, you will retreat. If you stand still, you will give up the market to other companies!"

"Tianming, you are a veteran of Sky Art, I will promote you to the top with one hand, you can't be lazy!"

Chairman Bai Zongwei is earnest and kind.

At this moment, another director spoke.

"The company's investment in the variety show department is the largest, and the revenue growth has not met expectations. This is obvious to all. To be honest, I am not satisfied."

This is the obvious way to treat one as a good person and one as a bad person, even if it is a conspiracy, Jiao Tianming has nothing to do.

Immediately afterwards, another director said: "Yes, I think Tianming can be a little more aggressive in handling business. By the way, at the beginning of the year, didn't you say that you would learn from a variety show in Pretty Country? What happened later? No sound?"

"That's right, I think the recently popular "Aspirations" seems to be somewhat similar to your plan, what's going on?"

What's going on... Let others take the lead!

Jiao Tianming was tired of it. When he raised opinions with the board of directors at the beginning of the year, all of them were ambiguous. Now that he sees other people making the show, but questioning him, what a fuck...

"Well, Wang Dong, I have been paying attention to the "Aspirations" you mentioned recently. The concept is almost the same as the plan I submitted at the beginning of the year, but their company did not rewrite the script, but bought the copyright from the beautiful country."

"Oh." Wang Dong said: "It's a pity to lose this opportunity."

"Yes Yes……"

Jiao Tianming couldn't help nodding, and then hurriedly said: "However, there is also a little advantage. "Aspirations" leveled the road and successfully turned up the popularity. Facts have proved that this road can be taken. I have already arranged people to start planning similar programs. The plan has been prepared, and it can be launched immediately with the help of the heat!"

Bai Zongwei nodded and said: "The action is pretty fast, but it is far from enough to beat the competition. Are you willing to follow others and eat the leftovers? Even if you are willing, Sky Art is not reconciled. "

Jiao Tianming's eyebrows twitched slightly, he smiled foolishly, and said, "Chairman, please explain clearly, I don't quite understand."

"Idiot..." Bai Zongwei criticized, and continued: "In a running race, the other runners missed the race due to various reasons, and in the end you were the only one standing on the starting line. Let me ask you, what place did you get?"

"First……"

Jiao Tianming replied without thinking, he knew what the chairman meant, but he didn't want the other party to know that he knew.

"As far as I know, the recording of the first episode of the first season of "Aspirations" will start tomorrow afternoon in Tangcheng, Hebei Province. Even the top Hollywood stars have come to help out. Could it be that you just watched them record?"

Speaking of the latter, the chairman put his hands on the conference table, looking a little excited.

Jiao Tianming was speechless in his heart. He never expected that the chairman had been staring at "Aspirations" all the time. He knew it better than he did. He only knew that it was going to be recorded tomorrow, but he didn't know it was afternoon.

Suddenly, Jiao Tianming remembered something, which made his heart tighten.

"Chairman, that... Xia Tian Entertainment's background is a bit mysterious, I'm afraid, before I..."

Jiao Tianming made a troubled expression.

"Mystery, what's so mysterious about it? It's nothing more than a rich kid working behind the scenes, spending more than 100 million yuan to hype the bluff, and more than [-] Patek Philippe. What's the difference between that kind of thing and wealth management products?"

"Just turn around a few times and send it back to the Starlight World without anyone noticing. Even if it's true, this little trick really bluffs you, it's just a joke!"

Another director scoffed at Jiao Tianming.

Jiao Tianming had a humble expression on his face, and he was full of scolding in his heart. All the old guys seemed to be indifferent, but in fact they knew everything in their hearts, so insidious!
"Chairman, I'm still a little worried... There must be a special relationship, otherwise Patek Philippe would not allow He Xia to buy all the styles of a direct store."

Jiao Tianming felt that He Xia was not easy, he hoped to persuade the board of directors not to torment Xia Entertainment, he had already tried it, and was forced back.

"Tianming, are you forty? Compared with the rest of us, you are much younger, right? Why, you are not old yet, and your courage has declined first? I have inquired about it. At that time, He Xia gave a call to William Si made a phone call, even if he is related, he is still overseas, what are you afraid of?"

What are you afraid of...Jiao Tianming said in his heart that Sky Art was listed overseas.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Liang, you are criticizing."

He gave up on persuasion.

"Cough cough."

Manager Zhao at the side cleared his throat, stood up and said with a smile, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have spoken at this time, but for the benefit of the company, if you offend someone, you should offend them. Manager Jiao, you adults don't remember villains."

"I think, since I already know the time and location of the recording of "Aspirations", and the other party is a little-known start-up company, there may be mistakes in the recording process."

"Safety, fire protection, sanitation, noise, electrical circuits, pollution, all the messy inspections, have they all passed? I heard that tickets are also sold to invite the audience to watch the scene. Have you declared it? Did you pass it? I think it needs to be discussed."

After finishing speaking, Manager Zhao smiled and bent over with several directors, then sat back on the chair and restored his previous expression, as if nothing had happened.

The hatred in Jiao Tianming's heart, what is in his heart, I don't know these things, I want you to talk too much here.

Bai Zongwei didn't care about Jiao Tianming's thoughts, and praised: "Xiao Zhao's idea is very good. According to the data, Xia Wenyi sold a total of [-] tickets for the first phase, [-] tickets!"

"Including contestants, relatives and friends, staff, etc., the number of people on the show may exceed one thousand. If there is any safety accident, it will be terrible, so..."

Having said that, Bai Zongwei paused, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.

Jiao Tianming was not stupid, he felt a chill when he heard this, and guessed that something bad might happen.

"So, I contacted my old friend, and I'm going to check the situation of the steel plant tomorrow, but there must be no potential safety hazards. If something happens, it will be a fresh human life, and it will not be careless!"

After Bai Zongwei finished speaking, he nodded and smiled, very satisfied with his foresight.

"Ha, ha..." Jiao Tianming laughed awkwardly, and quickly complimented: "The chairman is compassionate, he is really a kind person!"

"I do what I do, so don't you plan to do anything?"

Bai Zongwei was still smiling just a moment ago, but then his expression changed, and he continued: "If I hadn't noticed it a while ago, it would have really made the summer entertainment smooth sailing, what a bunch of trash!"

The feeling in Jiao Tianming's heart became more and more clear, and he couldn't help asking: "Chairman, that, some time ago, the recording hall of "Aspirations" was smashed..."

"Don't mention what happened a while ago, what you should think about now is what you should do next!"

Bai Zongwei was obviously reluctant to mention the previous events, and his face was unhappy.

Jiao Tianming was stunned on the spot. He really didn't expect that the smashing was arranged by the chairman.
At that time, he was still guessing which company used such a barbaric method to solve the problem. If people in the industry knew about it, he would probably die of laughter. He didn't expect that this person was by his side, and he was also his boss...

"I... yes, Chairman, I will think about it carefully."

"Wait until you think about it, everyone else has finished recording! You immediately book a plane ticket to Tangcheng, in case the other party passes the inspection, you just watch and learn! The meeting is over..."

Bai Zongwei hated that iron cannot be made into steel, so he stood up and walked towards the door of the meeting room.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely do it. Chairman, go slowly, and all directors go slowly."

Jiao Tianming nodded and bowed, wishing to end the meeting as soon as possible, and also wishing to leave Pengcheng as soon as possible to be clean.

The general manager of a department has a lot of power, and he can decide on the appointment and removal of personnel within the department, but in front of the board of directors, he can only be respectful, unless he finds a new job and plans to change jobs.

"Directors, walk slowly..."

"Walk slowly..."

The other two managers also got up to say their goodbyes.

"Manager Jiao, then I'm here to wish you a safe journey."

Manager Liu's attitude was relatively neutral. There was no direct competition between him and Jiao Tianming. He patted Jiao Tianming on the shoulder and left the conference room following several directors.

"Haha, Manager Jiao, I really didn't expect that the chairman would take such good care of you. He would use his interpersonal relationship to create opportunities for you. Oh, it's enviable..."

Manager Zhao is not like Manager Liu. He had a fierce conflict with Jiao Tianming a long time ago because of the company's resource allocation, and he was very difficult to deal with.

To put it bluntly, it's to take care of you, but to put it bluntly, it's to see that you are useless, and you need the help of the board of directors...

Jiao Tianming glanced at Manager Zhao, did not speak, and silently packed his things.

"If you want me to tell you, don't be nervous. With the chairman behind the scenes to help, there must be no problem. Even if there is a problem, don't worry, I can watch it for you in the variety show department. It will definitely be better than it is now, hahaha."

"What the hell..." Jiao Tianming's forehead burst out, "I warn you, Zhao Youqi, if you dare to do anything to the Variety Department, don't blame me for being rude when you come back!"

"Heh..." Zhao Youqi sneered, and walked towards the door of the meeting room while saying: "Some things are not up to you to decide, take care of the things in front of you, the mud bodhisattva can't protect himself when he crosses the river, and he still wants to threaten me , It's ridiculous!"

"Go home and choose a car. It feels so good to get the year-end bonus in advance!"

Zhao Youqi did not forget to hit Jiao Tianming once at the end.

"I'm going to beat you!"

Jiao Tianming gestured his middle finger to the door of the meeting room, his teeth ached and his brain was hot with anger.

Get angry, things still have to be done, after packing up the things, rush back to the department as soon as possible, and notify your subordinates to announce the official announcement of the plan of "Strive hard, boy" created by Tianyi overnight!
Start new projects in full swing, contact celebrity agents, rent venues, write scripts... use all hands and feet to catch up with the progress, even if it is later than "Aspirations", it can't be too late!
He has a feeling that if he leaves, the variety show department will change, but he has no way to change all of this unless he can produce enough results...

After arranging things, Jiao Tianming returned to his office, leaned weakly on the office chair, picked up his mobile phone and called his assistant.

"Xiao Min, book me a plane ticket to Tangcheng at the earliest tomorrow."

The girl named Xiao Min had already returned home from get off work. She was just an assistant sitting outside the office, not a secretary, so she was busy booking tickets and notifying meetings.

"Mr. Jiao, do you only need one?"

Xiao Min felt strange, it was not uncommon for the general manager to travel on business, but it was a bit unusual to travel alone.

"Yes, just order me one, the earliest one, that's it..."

To put it bluntly, this trip to Tangcheng was because the board of directors saw that they were unhappy, and they were exiled for a period of time, and they didn't plan to take anyone with them!
"Okay, Mr. Jiao!" The girl readily agreed to the leader's order.

After hanging up the phone, it was already eleven o'clock when everything was done, Jiao Tianming didn't bother to go home, anyway, he was alone, so he just put down the chair in the office, lay down and fell asleep.
