In the conference affairs office, Xie Zixin's personal assistant took a schedule and read to him the preliminary preparations that had already been put in place one by one: "The VIP channel at the airport has been connected, the guest courtesy level has been connected, the road police | the car has been connected, The docking of the people following the car and the accompanying people at the dinner party has been completed..."

After Xie Zixin listened carefully, he tapped slowly on the table twice with a water pen, "It's ok. Inform the General Affairs Department to arrange airport pick-up and hotel check-in. Also, water badges, seat signs, media registration seats, information bags, souvenirs, etc. For the details, you also ask people to follow. This time, all the big names are here, so don’t make jokes about small things.”

"Understood." The personal assistant nodded.

Xie Zixin stood up, "Let's go to the Golden Lily Hall and see how the preparations for the dinner are going. You can ask the catering department to contact the suppliers again, and let me check the drinks for the reception. If what happened last time, Everyone in the food and beverage department packed up their bags and left."

The assistant put on his coat and asked again: "Young Master Xie, when will the artist from the co-organizer check into the hotel?"

"Let them communicate with the person in charge of the General Affairs Department by themselves." Xie Zixin thought for a while with a pen propped on his chin, "By the way, that Su Jinjiang, tell him to pick up the airport with the reception team. There is no need to arrange a hotel room for him. If he needs to stay overnight, he can live in the suite of the conference affairs group."

The assistant said cautiously: "The artistes of the co-organizers are also considered as half of the guests, wouldn't that be too good?"

"It's okay, you can just arrange it this way." Xie Zixin straightened her long hair, "Remember, before you praise someone, put him on the head first. Let him know how humble he is now, so that he will remember later, who is The noble person in his own destiny. Otherwise, he will only feel that he is lucky and has no gratitude to those who support him. Whenever he encounters a better opportunity, he will be ungrateful and scramble. People are like this, from Without exception."

"Young Master Xie said so." The assistant quickly responded, "It is the greatest blessing to be supported by Young Master Xie. But..." He looked at Xie Zixin's face, "Didn't you say two days ago that it's too early to praise him now?" Yet?"

"It was early then, but now is just right." Xie Zixin said, "I didn't praise him because I like him, there are other reasons."

After Su Jinjiang's "photo incident" happened, Xie Zixin soon found out some inside information: Yaofeng's official statement that night was not requested by the boss Fei Changhuai, but the vice president Xin Qin.It is said that Fei Changhuai was not very happy about this, so he called Xin Qin to the office and had an argument behind closed doors.

Xin Qin also serves as the deputy general manager and chief operating officer of Yaofeng.The conflict between him and Fei Changhuai was no secret in Yaofeng's senior management.Regarding how to create an artist, the two have fundamental differences in their ideas.

Xin Qin has been an artist coordinator for many years and pays great attention to the long-term development of artists.His vision is to create first-line superstars, so as to improve Yaofeng's standard and status in the industry as a whole.

Fei Changhuai attaches great importance to the flow of artists during the contract period, hoping to create the most new stars with the shortest operation cycle and create the greatest commercial value.As for building a superstar, not only do you need to invest a lot of money and time, but you also need to depend on the artist's loyalty to the company, which cannot be guaranteed.

In Yaofeng’s business history, many artists asked to terminate their contracts with the company immediately after becoming popular, and they did not flinch even in the face of high liquidated damages, so that Yaofeng was once ridiculed as “a good springboard for conscience, focusing on being a stepping stone” 30 years".

For this kind of title, Fei Changhuai not only didn't think it was disobedient, but accepted it with pleasure.Those artists who left Yaofeng did develop well later on, but the company that took over them did not expand their popularity because of it.On the contrary, Yaofeng, relying on the frequent hype of every contract termination incident, and relying on the name of "good conscience" to attract a large number of newcomers eager to become popular, finally achieved the scale it is today.

Fei Changhuai insists on this business model.In his view, the era of superstars has passed, and only companies that can continuously produce "little fresh meat" can survive the longest.

If it's just that, there is nothing wrong with talking about business.But Fei Changhuai does everything for the sake of commercial value. Everything an artist has is a commodity, which can be used for consumption. It can be popular or black.As for what kind of long-term impact it will bring to the artist, it is not a question that the company needs to consider.Especially when the artist's contract period is about to expire, he will even use all means to create topics and add drama to the company.

Some artists and managers could not accept his approach, and gradually gathered under Xin Qin's command and became the "Xin Pai".

Before Su Jinjiang's "photo incident" broke out, Wan Jin's attitude had been unclear. He was sandwiched between Fei Pai and Xin Pai to mediate left and right, and he was a standard fence-sitting faction.

But Xie Zixin had a premonition that with the photo incident as the dividing point, Wan Jin would fall to Xin Qin's side from now on.

As the name suggests, the Wanjin man is a panacea-like figure who often does tricky things.But there is one thing, he loves the artists under his hands very much.He once said a sentence: "I have a principle in Wanjin, work belongs to work, and favors belong to favors. You can't mix them, but you have to have them all."

Xie Zixin was not sure what exactly happened that night in the "photo incident", but it can be seen from the results that Fei Changhuai did not plan to conduct public relations immediately, but deliberately delayed and waited for the incident to ferment.When Su Jinjiang was in a state of desperation, the company came forward to save the siege. It not only swiped the traffic for free, but also made Su Jinjiang grateful to the company, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Xin Qin ignored him, and immediately instructed the public relations department to respond as soon as he heard the news.Although the wording was vague and formulaic, it promptly expressed the company's position to the public and maintained Su Jinjiang's image.

But in this way, Wan Jin could no longer sit on the wall, and had to choose a side to stand in line.

Wan Jin is one of Yaofeng's stronger managers, and he still holds the two cards of Wu Xin and Su Jinjiang.If he sided with Xin Qin, the delicate balance between Fei Xin might be broken, and Yaofeng would face a reshuffle or separation.No matter what happens, Yaofeng's commercial competitiveness will decrease in the short term, and the film and television companies under the Xie Group can take advantage of the opportunity to dominate the market.

Xie Zixin was afraid that Wan Jin would squat on the wall and refuse to come down, so he gave him a bargaining chip to raise the value of Su Jinjiang and Wu Xin a little.First help Xin Qin weaken Fei Changhuai, and then find a way to squeeze Xin Qin down, and come up with a "false way to defeat Guo".Then he could justifiably accept the contract between Su Jinjiang and Wu Xin, picking up a ready-made bargain for nothing.

A week later, the plot of "Black Butterfly" is coming to an end.

Su Jinjiang had a very busy life.Some of his scenes need to be filmed in advance, and he has to prepare for moving, and he also needs to prepare for the work of the film and television art festival.The assistant Xiao Ning put in a lot of effort before and after running, but Wan Jin didn't get in touch with him much.

Ever since we met that day, Wan Jin has lost all news, as if suddenly caught in something.Su Jinjiang took the initiative to make a phone call, wanting to ask about the specific schedule of Wu Xin's fan meeting, so that he can make arrangements here.But Wan Jin on the other side of the phone seemed to be preoccupied, he hesitated a few words, said something urgent, and hung up first.

It was inconvenient for Su Jinjiang to ask more questions, so he guessed that Wu Xin's new album might not be going well.Calculating the time, this album has indeed been delayed for a long time, maybe something went wrong.

Taking advantage of the early finish of the day, Su Jinjiang and Wei Tan went back to their residence together and packed up the odds and ends.The room was full of boxes, big and small, and the tables, chairs, and utensils had been moved away, and even the bed was moved away, leaving only a mat to make do with the floor.

"Do you think that even if you don't want all the things that have been moved, you can live on?" Su Jinjiang lay down and asked Wei Tan beside him, "I really don't know what is the use of keeping so many things. I guess Move a few more times, and I’ll be a monk.”

Wei Tan silently gave him a sideways glance, but didn't speak.

Su Jinjiang propped himself up on his elbows, "With you here, I can't bear it. Come on baby, give me a smile."

Without waiting for Wei Tan to respond, he praised himself again: "I don't need your praise, I also feel that I am getting more and more angry."

Wei Tan continued to neither speak nor move.

"No, are you so bored with anyone?" Su Jinjiang poked him, "I think you can be a little more unrestrained in front of your boyfriend."

He reached into the waistband of Wei Tan's jeans.Wei Tan finally reacted, grabbed those two restless fingers, and slapped the back of his hand.

Su Jinjiang wrapped his arms around Wei Tan's waist, "It's not good to be sullen. Look at Chu Chen, if he expressed his feelings from the beginning, it probably wouldn't be a tragedy."

Tomorrow will be filming the scene of Chu Chen's suicide, which is also the finale of the whole play.Chu Chen avenged his family and destroyed his relationship with Chu Chao.On the last night of heavy rain, he died in front of Chu Chao, taking away all the unrealized possibilities between them.

The saddest thing about this story is not the ending itself, but how a person closes his heart little by little for a long time, blocks every escape route with his own hands, and finally forces himself to retreat into a world where there is only death.

Most of the murderer's tricks were to exonerate himself, but what he did was to make himself have no way out.Hate is too painful, but love is too happy.Fearing that he would be tempted to abandon the plan, he stifled his ability to love from the start.

This scene, and the role of Chu Chen, made Su Jinjiang very depressed.Every time I finished the words, I had to hug Wei Tan for a long time before I could get out of my emotions.

"If you were Chu Chen, what would you do?" Su Jinjiang asked, patting Wei Tan's back.

"I don't know." Wei Tan muffled in his arms, "Maybe some people are like programmed programs, once they start running, they can only run to the end or crash." He paused, "However, I'm not like that."

"Yeah." Su Jinjiang rubbed his hair with a smile, "You will patch and upgrade yourself. The world belongs to us humans, but sooner or later it will be your artificial intelligence."

Wei Tan studied computer science at university, but for various reasons he didn't get his diploma.But he is always learning and hopes to one day continue his studies.Su Jinjiang especially likes Wei Tan like this - he always knows what his goal is.

There was a flash outside the window.The air is muggy, and another heavy rain is about to fall.

The phone ding-dong, indicating that a new email has been received.Wei Tan took it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and handed it to Su Jinjiang.

A pdf document was displayed on the screen, and the title was the company's internal briefing.The first item below is that Wu Xin changed her agent.
