Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 446 Annual Meeting
At the first annual meeting of Brilliant Era, there were five hundred people present.

Among them, there are 50 people from the investment company, more than 100 people from the film and television company, more than 200 people from the headquarter of Brilliant Times, including 500 people in charge of hundreds of theaters, which is more than [-] people.

If you count the ordinary employees of each theater, the number of employees in Brilliant Times has exceeded a thousand.

After only two years of development, the company has become such a large-scale enterprise, which is surprising, and Liu Yifei is also surprised by this.

"There are so many people!" She and Chu Xuan walked into the hall.

The hall was full of voices, and they were basically whispering and chatting with each other. Those who knew each other hooked up, and those who didn't know each other were meeting new colleagues one after another. It was like a large-scale gathering and making friends.

However, due to the different professional fields, the distinction between the various areas of this large dating site is also obvious.

The director, screenwriter and artist are together, the special effects are together, the theater management is together, the marketing and operation are together...

People who don't know each other in the same major and field have a common language. It's normal to have such a distinction.

"Are you under pressure?" Chu Xuan asked, looking at the big scene in front of him.

Concubine Liu Yi walked slowly with Chu Xuan, while looking left and right to find Su Chang and the others. When she heard Chu Xuan's words, she said in a daze, "What pressure can I have?"

Chu Xuan pointed to where Su Chang and the others were: "As the boss's wife, with so many employees under her hands, is there no pressure?"

Concubine Liu Yi smiled. It turned out that Chu Xuan was talking about this. She and Chu Xuan walked towards Su Chang and the others: "Hua Mulan can lead an army to fight, and Wu Zetian can lead a country with only a thousand employees. Why should I be under pressure? ?”

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, Hua Mulan?Wu Zetian?Using these two talented women as a metaphor, he couldn't help being startled, this is indeed Concubine Liu Yi's unique and strong style.

Regarding Concubine Liu Yi's half-joking and half-serious words, Chu Xuan smiled and reached out to grab Concubine Liu Yi's shoulder: "Yes, Queen Liu."

Queen Liu? …Concubine Liu Yi was delighted when she heard the words, and now she has a new title.

"President Chu."

"President Chu, Miss Liu."

"..."

Walking along the way, the people nearby greeted the young couple very warmly.

As for the young couple, nine out of ten people don't know each other, but they normally smile at their enthusiasm.

"Sissy!" Su Chang saw the two people coming, waved his hands, and shouted cheerfully.

"Chang Chang!" Concubine Liu Yi broke away from Chu Xuan's embrace, ran forward a few steps, and hugged Su Chang and Jiang Xin respectively.

Since "Struggle" was finished, Su Chang and Jiang Xin have been traveling around the country, and they didn't come back until a few days ago.

Concubine Liu Yi and her good sister have not seen each other for several months because of this. Seeing you now, both of them seem very happy.

Zhao Liying embraced Concubine Liu Yi, waved to Chu Xuan, and said happily, "Master!"

"Brother Chu." Huang Xuan called out.

"Brother." Chen He greeted Huang Xuan next to him.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, then greeted Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Wen Muye and the others, and immediately walked with Concubine Liu Yi towards the two vacant seats that Su Chang and the others had left for them, ready to take their seats.

Just walking halfway around the round table, Chu Xuan glanced at Yang Tianzhen, seeing that it seemed to have swelled again, he wondered: "How many catties?"

When Yang Tianzhen saw Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi coming, she wanted to say hello to them with a happy mood, but when Chu Xuan came, her happy expression disappeared, and her face froze: "You are a man! Do you ever ask a girl this kind of question?"

Concubine Liu Yi patted Chu Xuan's arm, feeling upset for Yang Tianzhen, but the smile in the corner of her eyes betrayed her current mood.

Su Chang and Jiang Xin at the same table couldn't help laughing, watching this scene with a smile.

"I can't help it." Chu Xuan sat down side by side with Concubine Liu Yi.

"Don't ask, it's heavier than you anyway." Yang Tianzhen looked proud.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but "puchi" and nodded again and again: "Then I can't compare to you."

Yang Tianzhen also went on a trip with Su Chang and the others, arranging for them business performances and business affairs conveyed to them by the company along the way.

I saw them send a message in the group before, saying that Yang Tianzhen never diets, and if there is anything delicious, it is called a sass, and it is probably because of this that she has gained weight.

After a long time no see, Concubine Liu Yi was chatting with her good sisters, and the girls suddenly became more cheerful when they chatted about something.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head over, very excited: "Chang Chang and I went to the hot spring."

Shangri-La Hotel has many service facilities, and the artificial hot spring is one of the service items of this hotel.

The opening time of the annual meeting is [-]:[-] pm. Concubine Liu Yi saw that there were still several hours before this time, so she proposed to go to the hot spring with her sisters to enjoy and chat.

"I said, do you still have to report to your boyfriend when you go to a hot spring?" Su Chang said.

"Qi Qian, this won't work, women have to be tough!" Jiang Xin rushed into a rage.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head to look at them, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "What is it? This is the most basic respect, okay? If it weren't for my relationship with Chu Xuan, you would say that you broke up and hurt your friendship!"

Su Chang grinned, and pulled Liu Yifei away: "Let's go, let's go."

Jiang Xin and Zhao Liying got up, ready to go upstairs to the hot spring together.

Concubine Liu Yi was dragged away by Su Chang, she waved at Chu Xuan: "I'm going."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, and after a few glances, he reached out to take a bottle of milk on the wine table, and raised his legs while opening the lid: "Brother Bo, what are you doing these days? I haven't seen you for months."

Huang Bo was sitting next to Chu Xuan. He was about to reply, but Ning Hao said first, "Junior brother, he's angry."

Ning Hao patted Huang Bo on the shoulder, and said to Chu Xuan: "I filmed "Crazy Stone", and he was a supporting role. He was the first to become popular. I didn't expect that."

Huang Bo grinned. He didn't expect that after "Crazy Stone" was released, the leading role and the leading actor were not popular. On the contrary, it was his popularity as a supporting role that opened up the situation.

Although it's just a small fire, visually located in the third line, but the situation has also undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the previous situation of playing tricks.

Chu Xuan nodded, thinking that after Huang Bo became popular, the company arranged a lot of business, so he hasn't been seen for a long time.

"I have to thank Old Chu for giving me the opportunity." Huang Bo hammered Chu Xuan's arm to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for what?" Chu Xuan took a sip of milk, shook his head and said, "Sooner or later, those who deserve to be popular will become popular, and those who don't have that life will not be popular even if they jump around. If you can be popular, it means that you have the destiny of fire."

Ning Hao was peeling peanuts in his hands, and he nodded slightly when he heard Chu Xuan's words.

Whether artists are popular or not is indeed a bit of metaphysics. Some are handsome and beautiful, and if you give them resources, they just won’t be popular.

But looking at Huang Bo's face, he often teased that it was the creation of Nu Wa who suddenly suffered from Parkinson's when she pinched her.

But this face, when "Crazy Stone" was released, was said to be super memorable by the audience who liked him.

No, not to mention instant success, but the entertainment circle remembered Huang Bo and Huang Bo's name.

But then again, Huang Bo has been silent for many years, but he was able to start his career with just one movie. It is also the result of years of honing his acting skills, and it is also the result of years of business connections.

Had it not been for Chu Xuan's final decision, "Crazy Stone" would not have developed so smoothly.

Chu Xuan is Huang Bo's brother, and also Huang Bo's nobleman.

"Brother Bo, how do you feel after getting angry?" Chu Xuan turned half his body to look at Huang Bo, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table.

Hearing Chu Xuan's interview-style question, Huang Bo smiled.

He raised Erlang's legs, put his left hand on his lap, and raised his right hand to stroke his hair casually: "After the release of "Crazy Stone", the popularity has indeed risen, and the company has also arranged some business, and it has also made money in the past half a year." Hundreds of thousands"

"When I was playing tricks in Hengcheng, many colleagues helped me a lot. I took the time to go to Hengcheng and treat those old friends to dinner."

As he said that, Huang Bo looked at Chu Xuan with a sarcastic expression on his face: "I happened to meet a director of the Ensemble Performing Association who looked down on me at the beginning. He used to say that I would never be popular. When I met him that day, he was so attentive."

He was silent for a while, and then said: "Then I went back to Qingdao to renovate the house for my family. Out of nowhere, all the seven aunts and eight aunts came. If you want to compliment me, I won't bring any repetition. There is only one purpose, to borrow money."

Chu Xuan was knocking the melon seeds, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard what Huang Bo said.

Huang Bo took a melon seed from Chu Xuan's hand and kowtowed it to his mouth. He raised his left hand and placed it on the back of Chu Xuan's chair: "Old Chu, I have experienced the same feeling as you."

Chu Xuan's hand for knocking melon seeds froze, and he said in surprise, "You feel the same as me?"

Huang Bo said: "When you are found to be beneficial, then you will be surrounded by good people, even those who have never been in touch with you before will come to lick you, even those who have conflicts with you before will think about it." Come and turn hostility into friendship with you."

"Brilliant." Ning Hao peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth.

Chu Xuan nodded slowly, and smiled lightly: "That's true."

Huang Xuan and Chen He sat side by side, listening to their chat, the two of them also deeply agreed.

Especially Chen He, Huang Bo's words really touched his heart.

When he joined Brilliant Times, when news of him acting with Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi spread to the Shanghai Drama School, many "good guys" suddenly appeared around him.

It made him baffled at the beginning, but slowly he discovered the purpose of those people, which was nothing more than wanting him to speak nicely to Chu Xuan, or to gain resources, or to join the Brilliant Era or something.

Just in line with what Brother Bo just said, those people found benefits in him, otherwise how could they be courteous for nothing?
He sighed for this: this world is too hypocritical and too real.

After Chu Xuan finished eating the melon seeds in his hand, he clapped his hands to shake off the residue: "Is there a deal for the next work?"

Huang Bo nodded, put down his legs, got up and took an apple from the table: "Our director Ning Da's second work, "Crazy Racing"."

He retracted his body and sat down, took a bite of the apple and raised his eyebrows at Chu Xuan: "I'm the starring role."

The corner of Chu Xuan's mouth raised slightly, he looked at Ning Hao and said, "So trust him?"

Ning Hao leaned on Huang Bo's shoulder and said affirmatively: "Since his filming of "Crazy Stone" became popular, I have roughly discovered one of his characteristics after researching. The essence, this is a unique characteristic that domestic artists lack that can play both the leading role and the minor character."

Huang Bo didn't feel anything because Ning Hao said that his characteristics lie in the little people. Instead, he said to Chu Xuan with some pride: "Did you hear that, although I have an artistic face, I also have unique characteristics, just the little people You can't play this one."

Ning Hao looked at Chu Xuan's impeccable face, and nodded in approval: "It's true that I can't act, the audience doesn't believe it."

Huang Xuan and Chen He acted as melon-eaters, looking at Chu Xuan with playful eyes.

Chu Xuan shook his head happily, but did not refute.

If it was his former self, he could still play a small character, and he was still confident in his temperament.

But since becoming the boss, he has gradually lost some of his temperament, and has partnered with Concubine Liu Yi many times. In order to form a performance effect of 1+1 greater than 2 with Concubine Liu, while performing with Concubine Liu, his acting style has gradually changed. up.

He has to admit that when he no longer exists in the show business circle as a pure actor, his acting path has narrowed.

The play path has narrowed, but he has gained skills such as producing and directing, and he has also gained the company of Brilliant Times, so there are gains and losses.

Chu Xuan drank the last sip of milk, looked left and right to see if there was no trash can, and put the empty bottle on the table: "Huang Xuan, are you still frozen with your mother?"

Huang Xuan's mother asked Huang Xuan to learn dance, and it was the kind of confession. Even if Huang Xuan didn't like dancing, he couldn't hold back his mother's obsession.

When he signed the contract with Brilliant Times, he signed it behind his mother's back. When his mother found out, she was furious and scolded him.

In this way, the mother and son have formed a stalemate since then.

"No." Huang Xuan shook his head: "She has inquired about the strength of Brilliant Times from many sources, and also learned about the two dramas "Zhu Xian" and "Struggle", and also got the news that I played the male lead and male second respectively. She also knows this What is the concept of resources, and no longer say anything.”

"That's good." Chu Xuan nodded.

Huang Xuan continued: "Then she checked my information on the Internet, and some reports expressed the news that I am your apprentice, Brother Chu, she said that she would come to the capital from Gansu during the Chinese New Year and take me to Chu Happy New Year to your family."

After a second pause, he added: "By the way, with Zhao Liying."

"Come to my house to pay New Year's greetings..." Chu Xuan was surprised, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Why is it so troublesome, and I am a junior, your parents, as an elder, gave me a junior New Year's greeting, I am very embarrassed, okay?"

Huang Xuan shrugged and smiled slightly: "It's been discussed."

Hearing what he said, Chu Xuan shook his head helplessly, and could only say: "When will you come, call ahead."

"Okay." Huang Xuan nodded.

Chu Xuan continued to chat with them, and after chatting for some time, Concubine Liu Yi's voice came over.

"We're back!"

The faces of the four girls were rosy, obviously from the residual heat after soaking in the hot spring.

All of them have long hair and shawls, youthful and beautiful, and become a beautiful landscape for a while, attracting the attention of people nearby.

Concubine Liu Yi sat down beside Chu Xuan, and pinched Chu Xuan's face playfully: "It's so comfortable to soak in the hot spring, you should try it next time."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wang Jinhua walking up the stage with a microphone. It should be that the banquet of the annual meeting was about to start.

Concubine Liu Yi also saw this scene, she couldn't help showing her face and said: "It's better to come early than coincidentally, it's about to start."

As more and more people saw Wang Jinhua walking on the stage, everyone gradually stopped communicating and returned to their seats one after another.

When Wang Jinhua came to the stage, she scanned the big scene with fifty tables full of seats in front of her, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

These are her employees, and the wages and benefits to them are as high as tens of millions every year.

As soon as she thought of this, a sense of glory was born in her heart.

Once upon a time, she was just a broker controlled by capital, how could she have imagined that she could reach her current status.

This seemingly dreamy thing actually happened in front of my eyes.

She looked at Chu Xuan who was sitting in the row in front of her. All of this was brought by her younger brother. She felt that it was the wisest decision in her life to sign this younger brother Treasure Treasure.

"Hi everyone, I'm Wang Jinhua."

Amid a burst of applause, Wang Jinhua continued: "I, like you, am just a member of the Brilliant Times family."

It was the first time for many people to see Wang Jinhua in person, but her words shortened the distance between the two parties, which made people feel more cordial.

Wang Jinhua paused, and glanced at the audience: "When I got the list of the annual meeting, I saw the number of more than 500 people. I didn't have an exact idea, but when I came to see it today, I realized that our big family has On such a scale."

Many people nodded with deep understanding, including the staff at the headquarters of Brilliant Times.

The entertainment head office, brokerage company, investment company, film and television company, and theater company rarely communicate with each other on weekdays. Even if they have contacts, they are basically executives of each company. Many people don't know the situation of the companies under Brilliant Times.

When they came to this annual meeting this year, they were very shocked. It turned out that the company they worked for had so many people and such a large scale, which refreshed their understanding of the company.

"Counting the people who didn't come, the total number of people in Brilliant Times has exceeded [-]. This is only the result of two years of development." Wang Jinhua is a little proud.

The audience looked surprised, but applauded proudly.

Wang Jinhua waited for the applause to fall, and then said: "Brilliant Times was established at the end of 04 and December..."

She lowered her head slightly and looked at Chu Xuan who was on the wine table: "Brilliant Era, this name was chosen by Mr. Chu."

All the people in the audience looked at Chu Xuan, or turned their heads to look at Chu Xuan.

The same goes for Concubine Liu Yi, Su Chang, and Huang Bo, which made Chu Xuan laugh.

"At the beginning, I asked Mr. Chu, why did the company take the name Brilliant Times? The name is too loud and difficult to grasp." Wang Jinhua said.

The corners of the mouths of the people present were slightly raised, and Wang Jinhua told the origin of the company's name, which aroused their interest.

"Mr. Chu said that this name is high-end and grand, full of layout, and unique."

Wang Jinhua said, looking at the audience: "After several years of development, I have a deep understanding of Chu Xuan's words."

After a pause, she said, "Has anyone seen an entertainment company that has developed a theater system before entering the film industry?"

Everyone in the audience was startled, Wang Jinhua's words made them think for a while.

Conventionally, an entertainment company generally enters the film industry first, and then develops film and other related industries after making a profit from the film box office, so as to create a closed-loop ecological chain from content creation to content output.

But Bright Times is just the opposite. The core film part of the closed-loop ecological chain will not be developed first, but related industries will be developed first. This is indeed a very special state of development.

From this point of view, Brilliant Times is indeed a bit different.

The next moment, they heard Wang Jinhua continue to say: "Has anyone seen an entertainment company that does not follow the direction of the market, but specializes in the field of science fiction where the market direction is unknown, and serves as the company's main development route?"

Many people were stunned again. Is science fiction film the main development route of the company?
Science fiction is a vacancy in the domestic film and television market, and it is unknown how the vacancy will develop.

Listening to what Wang Jinhua said, is Bright Times throwing the market wind direction behind it and creating a new path?
There are many followers in the domestic market, and when a genre hits, there will be one after another of the same genre.

Why are there so many followers?Because it is safe to follow the trend. Someone who has helped you open the way and told you that this market can make money will naturally lead to a situation where capital swarms.

Following the trend is also the safest development route for all entertainment companies.

Wang Jinhua's words are obviously saying that Brilliant Times should not be a follower, but a pioneer.

At this point, they were a little surprised, surprised at the courage of the company's top management.

"Has anyone ever seen an entertainment company that ignores the upstream film and television market and plans to invest in and study the downstream film and television industry foundation?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Do you want to study the film and television industry in Brilliant Times?

That is to say, the bright era wants to industrialize film and television?

At the moment when the domestic film and television industry is absolutely backward compared with foreign countries, Wang Jinhua's words couldn't help but shock them.

"To be honest." Wang Jinhua took a few steps sideways on the stage, stood still and faced the crowd: "At the beginning of the company's establishment, I never thought that the company would develop like this. There is a more secure development direction, why should we take an unusual path?" way?"

Under the curiosity of everyone, she said: "Mr. Chu told me something."

Everyone present looked at Chu Xuan's position, and Concubine Liu Yi, Su Chang and Huang Bo at the same table also turned their heads to look at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan put his left hand on his lap and his right hand on the table, his eyes met Wang Jinhua's.

Wang Jinhua looked at him with a smile, and then said: "Mr. Chu said, if 90.00% of people think it is feasible, we should not do it, otherwise we will only eat ashes; if 90.00% of people think it is impossible, Then we have to give it a try, and if we succeed, we will be kings."

Wang Jinhua changed her left hand to hold the microphone: "I asked Mr. Chu, what should I do if I fail?"

The people present were very surprised when Wang Jinhua told the story of their siblings.

At the same time, Wang Jinhua's words were also their doubts.

Chu Xuan's words are indeed very reasonable. The top companies in all walks of life around the world are the pioneers of this industry, and they are all taking unusual routes.

For example, Xinlang created a forum in the 90s, developed offline communication into timely and convenient online communication, and created a field and market trend.

For example, Shengda, selling iron and borrowing money, introduced "Legend" to China. Since then, domestic end games have begun to rise, creating a field and trend.

There are many such enterprises, and the common feature is that they do not follow the trend or follow the market, but break a gap in the market and lead a new wave.

Chu Xuan's words were to let Brilliant Times take such a pioneering route. They also learned about Chu Xuan's ambitions from these few words, and they admired Chu Xuan's innovative ideas.

However, unknown things are generally bottomless pits, and the invested funds may never see the hope of return.

So, as Wang Jinhua said, what should I do if I fail?
"Mr. Chu said." Wang Jinhua said: "We have equity in Weiyu. Judging from the current value of Weiyu, after Weiyu goes public, if the leverage is randomly changed ten times or eight times, Weiyu's equity will at least have worth tens of billions."

"What is the concept of tens of billions? What is the upper limit of the loss of an entertainment company?"

"No matter how much the entertainment company loses, can it lose [-] billion at once?"

Wang Jinhua waved her hand, a little high-spirited: "As long as we can't, then we can resurrect infinitely."

So the person's head "boomed", a little unbelievable.

It's no secret that Brilliant Times has a stake in Weiyu, everyone of them knows about it.

But this equity will be worth tens of billions? !

This is what they don't know, and it also shocks them.

If this is the case, as long as Brilliant Times is not messing around, as long as it develops and operates in a planned and planned way, even if it takes an unusual development route, then it is really as Wang Jinhua said, even if Brilliant Times fails, it can be revived infinitely.

Wang Jinhua went on to say: "I take what Mr. Chu said deeply. Perhaps Bright Times will suffer temporary losses, and maybe Bright Times will fail on the road of development."

She raised a finger: "But as long as we succeed once, we will take off!"

She paced back and forth a little bit, quite passionately: "As long as it succeeds once, the four words Bright Times may no longer represent the name of a company, but represent the entire industry, and even the entire domestic entertainment era!"

Hearing this, everyone in the audience was moved, and the blood in their hearts was rushing inexplicably.

They never expected that the company they work for would have such big ambitions.

And before realizing this ambition, the company also has a huge amount of funds as its background, so it also has a way out.

Under such circumstances, hearing Wang Jinhua's rhetoric, they felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood - working in the bright era is very promising!
Chu Xuan turned his head to look at the expressions on everyone's faces, and secretly smiled inwardly: It must be my sister. Seeing how excited these people are, the goal of mobilizing the enthusiasm of the employees and stimulating their long-term pursuits has been achieved.

"Jinhua is fine, she has a talent for speech." Chen Kaige whispered.

"Very provocative." Zhang Jizhong grinned.

"It's a good thing we didn't engage in pyramid schemes, otherwise we must be a big boss." Han Sanping joked.

Hearing what he said, shareholders like Chen Kaige and Zhang Jizhong were amused.

"Everyone is here because of a chance meeting."

"President Chu, the shareholders and I are very honored to explore and build a unique entertainment company with you, to build our blueprint for the future."

"However, what will happen in the future? Let's speak with the facts and the benefits that are increasing every year."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and the benefits increased every year, which made them itch.

"Before that, we should be happy at this moment. At today's, which is also the company's first annual meeting, everyone can eat, drink, communicate, and have fun to the end."

"The first annual family gathering of Brilliant Times begins now."

The whole audience burst into applause. Because of Wang Jinhua's passionate speech, all the people present were full of enthusiasm, excited and excited at the same time.

As the waiters pushed the carts to serve the dishes, the first annual gathering of the Brilliant Era began.
