Chapter 666: Are You Startled?
Jiang Yuning brought the information home with her before she got a general understanding of the current status of Guangying Media
Although there were many well-known first-line actors and actresses in Guangying Media, they have basically been in a state of ignorance after entering the age of star making.
Therefore, even though their performance was very stable now, there was no new blood or new artistes at all.
Jiang Yuning thought about it for a moment before she wondered what her uncle’s intentions were. She wondered if her uncle wanted her to take over the position of the artiste director at Guangying Media because he wanted her to change things up or whether he simply wanted her to keep the status quo.
After reading through some of the information, Jiang Yuning went directly to Guangying Media to become a tea making girl for Gu Pingsheng.
“Uncle, don’t you have anything to say to me at all?” Jiang Yuning asked as she sat on the futon before she pushed the tea cup in front of Gu Pingsheng.
Gu Pingsheng held the tea cup in his hand and he smelled the fragrance of the tea before he took a sip of the tea. After that, he said, “You acted faster than I thought. Have you already gone through all of the information?”
“I have not finished reading it yet. However, I have to confirm your intentions with you first. Otherwise, I will only be fooling around and driven out of the company before I even officially take office. Wouldn’t that be very embarrassing then?” Jiang Yuning looked at the old fox before she said, “So I have to know whether you are deliberately messing around with me, or whether you are going to allow me to make some changes in the foundation of Guangying Media.”
Gu Pingsheng glared at Jiang Yuning before he put down his tea cup and said, “I am already old and Guangying Media is also old. However, the most terrible thing about a company is to instill change in it. The world is changing with each passing day but even though there is a foundation in Guangying media, we cannot insist on keeping the old foundation for so long…”
“So, that is the reason why you wanted to raise me up. I am like a little guinea pig that you used for your experiment and now, I am the successful person who is going to do the work for you. Uncle, you are really too much.”
“Those few top artistes have almost forgotten their own first and last names already…” Gu Pingsheng replied.
Therefore, he needed a restless and unreasonable player such as Jiang Yuning to break and make a change in Guangying Media.
He wanted her to give the top artistes a sense of crisis, while giving the middle and low level artistes some hope on the other hand.
“I understand,” Jiang Yuning replied as she understood Gu Pingsheng’s intentions. “In other words, you will definitely protect me and back me up no matter what I do in future right?”
“Well, don’t ruin my company for me. If all of my top artistes decides to terminate their contracts with Guangying Media, then that is your problem then…”
The old fox really knew how to give her a difficult question. He wanted her to bring a change and reform to the artistes without offending the top artistes in any way. How could there possibly be such thing in the world?
Jiang Yuning could already imagine how the artistes of Guangying Media would explode immediately after hearing the news.
However, since Gu Pingsheng already drank the tea, then Jiang Yuning felt that she should also prepare some things in advance.
She would only be officially taking office on January 1st. However, Shen Yichen started giving her a task on the night of December 27th.
“I know that you will be attending the awards ceremony for the Golden Magnolia Awards ceremony tomorrow but I am abroad right now. Since there is an artiste under the company who is in trouble right now, then the only person that I can call is you. After all, the information for all the artistes is in your hands right now. Therefore, I feel that it will not be appropriate for others to take on this task instead of you.”
“Alright then, tell me what you want me to do.” Jiang Yuning seriously suspected that Shen Yichen was deliberately doing this because he wanted her to practice and get some hands on with the job before she took office.
“Qin Wen’s assistant called me just now and she told me that Qin Wen attempted suicide in her apartment.”
After listening to Shen Yichen’s words, Jiang Yuning immediately understood his intentions. She could not help but laughed as she said, “Are you simply trying to prove to me that you had a very tough and difficult job as an artiste director before this?”
“Am I being that obvious?” Shen Yichen smiled and he said a few more words before he hung up the phone.
Jiang Yuning quickly gave the young paparazzo a call before she looked through Qin Wen’s information and eventually found her apartment address.
“Sister Yuning, why do you have to deal with the artistes’ affairs now? You still have to attend the Golden Magnolia Awards ceremony tomorrow.” The young paparazzo could not help but asked Jiang Yuning as they were on the way to Qin Wen’s house. “Aren’t you only taking office on January 1st?”
“That’s what I want to do, but we could just go and check it out first. I think that it will be kind of interesting anyway.”
The young paparazzo could not hear the deep meaning behind Jiang Yuning’s words. After all, he did not see the information in Jiang Yuning’s hands.
Qin Wen has already been under Guangying Media’s management for three to four years. She used to be one of the leading artistes under Guangying Media because of her beautiful appearance and her good acting skills. However, she could not rise up to fame.
There were originally come improvement in her performance last year and she started to pick up on a couple of good resources. However, she had her resources robbed and taken by Shen Zhongwei several times recently. After going back and forth, she was already starting to lose her popularity.
There was nothing else but Jiang Yuning felt that Shen Yichen was doing this on purpose because it involved Shen Zhongwei.
Qin Wen was attempting suicide just because someone rob her resources a couple of times? Did this artiste have no emotional intelligence at all?
…
The both of them rushed over to Qin Wen’s apartment before they knocked on her door.
Qin Wen’s apartment was the one who came to open the door for them. When he saw Jiang Yuning standing outside the door, he was also a little shocked and confused.
“That…Vice Chairman Shen told me that the new artiste director will come over here to deal with Qin Wen…”
“I am the new artiste director.” After that, Jiang Yuning walked right into the living room. “Where is she?”
The young assistant did not react for a moment and after a short while, he quickly pointed at Qin Wen’s bedroom door.
Jiang Yuning walked towards the bedroom before she knocked on Qin Wen’s door. When she heard a feeble response coming from inside the room, she pushed the door open.
At this time, the young paparazzo pulled Qin Wen’s assistant to the side before he asked him, “Are you startled?”
The other party nodded as he was dumbfounded.
“It is okay if you are startled or shocked. Guangying Media has not made any official announcement on this matter yet. Therefore, you will have to keep your mouth shut. Do you know what Sister Yuning is capable of doing if news about this matter leaks out to the public?”
The assistant hurriedly waved his hands, “I will not say anything! I will not say anything!”
“You better now!”
Inside the room, Qin Wen was also shocked when she saw Jiang Yuning. She did not understand why Jiang Yuning would show up here. She did not have a friendship or any connections to Jiang Yuning and the both of them did not know each other at all.
Jiang Yuning did not ask to sit down and she simply looked at Qin Wen who had a bandage over her wrist as she asked, “You merely got your resources taken away from you a few times and you cannot stand it anymore?”
“Why…are you…”
“Shen Zhongwei has also debuted for a few years already and she only started getting popular in December. She was also in the same situation as you were before this. She was tepid and her aunt was willing to spend capital on her. However, if she had the same thinking and mentality as you, then she would never have been able to gain any popularity or fame at all. If she decided to cut her wrist whenever her resources were robbed or taken away from her, would she be one of the top and most popular artiste right now?” Jiang Yuning snorted as she looked right into Qin Wen’s eyes.
Qin Wen did not say anything at all but her face was flushed red.
“I have had so many resources robbed and taken away from me during the six years that I have been in the entertainment industry. My previous company even decided to let go of me in the end. If I had been so worried and overwhelmed because of that, there will not be enough space on my wrist to cut anymore.”
“Today, no matter who robbed you of your resources, you should be strong mentally and psychologically. If you cannot have a strong mentality, then I will advise you not to continue staying and working in the entertainment industry anymore. You should change your career while you are still young. In the entertainment industry, nothing is fixed. You can be popular one day and forgotten the next day. If you are not popular, then you should accept reality and realize that it is useless to complain about others stealing or robbing you of your resources. After all, these resources are only a means for you to make money.”
