Chapter 19: Interview with Yu Xing
On the board of directors, although the remaining directors of the Su family still feel that this choice is beyond their original expectations, there are still risks. However, due to the choice that the team must make, I have stood up and voted in favor of it again and again, choosing this decision that currently seems to have more benefits than risks.
They called Ban Su Chengwen on weekdays, but they just wanted to gain a little more benefit from him.
Su Chengwen is the chairman of the board. Everyone knows that their arms can't twist their thighs.
If Su Chengwen was determined to help his daughter take the top position, and the promise given by the old man of the Su family back then would be in line with Su Man himself, it would be difficult for them to stop him.
Today's show, although it looks like a play made by Su Chengwen and Su Man together.
Come prepared with so many things, and what big projects are there, it is more likely that Su Chengwen found a relationship himself and gave it to his daughter as a bargaining chip.
All the directors think like this, and they don't know that Su Chengwen's real idea is to keep the group for his unknown illegitimate son.
Since Su Man is still very likely to join the company's management in the future, the key lies in her position and superior conditions.
The market center, as the key department of the group - the place where the money comes, its importance is not to be mentioned, but it is also very difficult. It's so easy to get results.
Even if Su Chengwen intends to help her, it is difficult to increase the business and group profits in a short period of time.
If she can't fulfill the promise made by the board of directors today, she can stay out of management within five years, and she is willing to compensate for the possible losses, and even offered to sell her shares for compensation to make everyone feel at ease.
She couldn't enter the group management for five years. Who knows what will happen in five years. The other juniors of the Su family have also grown up, so they can be one step ahead of her.
It wasn't something they forced, it was Su Man's own high-spirited promise, and it was hard for the Bai family and outsiders to say anything if it really made a fuss.
They would simply bet against her!
She also said the compensation herself, so they must not join forces to "cause trouble" for her, it is best to squeeze all the shares in Su Man's hands directly! Take the opportunity to weaken Su Chengwen's power in the group.
Looking at Su Chengwen's current appearance, it is obvious that he is anxious and angry, not like cheating. He is no longer the calm and winning appearance that he usually loves to show in front of everyone. It can be considered that his sister and brother who are familiar with him think he is really anxious .
When the directors left the conference room, Su Chengwen's anxiety and regret that he couldn't hide just now, and the anger of being disobedient and cutting flesh all burst out at Su Man.
"What can you do! The matter of shares can be used for casual betting and joking!"
"I have endured what you did in the past. If you really gamble your shares, our father and daughter don't have to do it again!"
Su Chengwen was angrier than ever before, his entire face was flushed with blood, and his eyes were even a little red.
Looking at Su Man is not like looking at his daughter, but more like looking at a useless and hateful dog who can't watch the door and makes his property likely to be taken away by thieves.
Anxious and frustrated, Su Man really stepped on his bottom line today. Su Chengwen, who has always tacitly regarded his wife and daughter's shares as his own, completely tore off his mask and looked terrifying.
The shares of the wife and daughter combined are not a small sum. It is also an important help for him to follow his own wishes in group affairs and shareholders' meetings.
Since Su Man was so greedy that he wanted to be promoted directly to the top of the market center, he had already touched his inverse scale. In addition to the compensation and the sale of shares, Su Chengwen could no longer talk to her about the father-daughter relationship.
What he said just now is also true. If Su Man really fails to achieve the rhetoric he made at the board of directors today, and forces these shareholders to let Su Man hand over the shares, he will directly give up this stupid daughter and turn to cultivate The youngest son of the family goes.
Without the two points of shares and obedience, Su Chengwen will no longer hesitate to choose an heir from the son who is like him, who is young and close to him, and the eldest daughter who has weak feelings and disobeys him.
There is no need to save the face of the Bai family.
In the face of Su Chengwen's obvious gaffe and those naked and hostile eyes, Su Man used a sentence to make Su Chengwen change his face again.
"I said that if it causes losses to the group, it is the worst possibility to pay with shares in the last step, which is really impossible. How could it be possible to lose so much."
Su Man confidently said his judgment, and didn't seem to care about Su Chengwen's face and the power he promised just now.
"What if, in case, they want to force me. I didn't say who to sell it to. I sold the shares to you or my mother. Isn't the money in exchange for supplying the group also abiding by its promise?"
"I know in my heart that there will be no risk to the group's equity."
Standing in front of Su Chengwen, Su Man calmly and disapprovingly spoke about the disposal of the shares, and also revealed the loopholes she thought of.
Su Chengwen's originally full of anger instantly turned into a puff of smoke, and soon a secret desire and greed blocked his throat, making his throat dry.
"you-"
"You... Why don't you discuss it with your father. The operation of the group is not as simple as you think. If you lose money, we will pay for your childhood to compensate other shareholders."
After a while, he spoke dryly to Su Man.
The whole person finally relaxed, the smile of the past slowly appeared on his face, and his tone softened.
Su Man stood in front of him, although he had expected this series of reactions from him, but he did not have much joy in guessing the development.
Just when Su Chengwen was still a little confused, calculating some possibilities and pros and cons.
Then I heard Su Man's sudden question: "Are you so optimistic about me, do you think I will make the group lose money?"
"I'm really not convinced. Everyone is so against me, as if I'm not from the Su family."
"It seems that only my mother trusts me, and it is estimated that only my mother is willing to vouch for me."
Seeing her daughter's unusually indifferent face and indifferent expression, Su Chengwen quickly said, "How could Dad not be optimistic about you! How good you are today. I'm just afraid that you are too careless. Others will fall into the trap."
"Why are you not from the Su family? You are my Su Chengwen's daughter, much more righteous than they are!"
"It's just that you are young, you still have to be careful and don't let your father's trust in you!"
Su Chengwen was relieved. As for the fact that his daughter really couldn't do anything in management within five years, he wouldn't have been particularly concerned about it.
Then, he laughed and patted Su Man on the shoulder, wanting to chat with her about the mysterious big foreign investment project she mentioned.
Su Man looked at his watch and interrupted his concern: "It's getting late, I still have something to do. I'll talk to you next time."
Su Chengwen glanced at the time, and it was indeed not too early.
"Okay. But don't you take the time to take up the post?"
Before leaving, Su Chengwen even joked with Su Man again, completely no longer the terrifying and angry look.
Su Man also really thinks that the way he is joking now is a bit funny: "I'm about to get off work today, tomorrow."
Seeing that she was already in a fatherly state, she even seemed to have forgotten to blame her for getting authorization from her mother, participating in the board of directors, and changing the department and position she wanted to go to without authorization, her eyebrows raised slightly.
"Moreover, the personnel department has not issued a document yet, which is not justified."
The boat is done, Su Chengwen is still thinking about the issue of shares, naturally he will not stop his daughter and push her out as a bad person.
He waved his hand to call the secretary Jiang Yong, and ordered him to prepare the resolution signed by the board of directors today, and notify the personnel center to issue a notice of personnel changes early tomorrow morning.
Jiang Yong nodded and couldn't help but looked at the eldest lady who really deserves his attention now, and walked out.
"Okay, come back to work tomorrow, don't play with your father again."
"I've been really screwed up by you recently."
Su Chengwen's mood was really ups and downs today, and this ups and downs made him feel a little tired, so he couldn't help but explain to Su Man again.
He also needs to go back and think about it. He did not expect Su Man to jump to the high-level deputy in the key department before, and he must explain it to the old man.
Now, he has to think about how to deal with his daughter's next job.
"Then I'll go first."
Su Man quickly said goodbye to him and walked downstairs. In the passage, they met Jiang Yong, another secretary and an assistant secretary, all three stopped and bowed slightly to her.
Su Man nodded lightly as a reply, and quickly got on the elevator and went downstairs.
The eldest lady actually hid in the group to do a private interview with Guan Peisheng, and now she has passed through an unknown number of levels and has directly become the deputy manager of the market center.
The secretary suddenly thought that Su Man just happened to be rotated to the marketing department before, but the former colleagues and leaders have now become subordinates. When I think about the current manager of the market center, it is really dramatic.
I don't know what expressions those "acquaintances" of the former eldest miss will have tomorrow.
Taking advantage of this time, Yan Chengan's graduation drama has not yet started. Su Man and Yu Xing made an appointment in a private cafe box not far from the academy.
Looking at Su Man, who was dressed delicately and had no extra expressions as usual, Yu Xing thought about what he was going to say later.
He knew that Su Man's family situation should not be bad. After all, he was someone who could go to study in a beautiful country very early, but he didn't know her real family background.
It should be from someone with good economic strength, but it doesn't have much energy.
After all, she is just an ordinary employee now, Yan Chengan has never mentioned her family situation, and she herself has never revealed any powerful connections or background.
Most people in the entertainment industry are shrewd and practical, and Yu Xing is also very realistic.
"Speaking of which, it's been almost a year since Yan Chengan introduced you to me, and we haven't sat down and chatted alone."
After Yu Xing sat down, he habitually exchanged a few words, and saw that Su Man looked at his watch, and immediately refused to deal with him.
"There's no need to sit down and chat alone. I'm not interested in it, and I think you are too."
When Yu Xing met someone with her personality, no matter how slick his personality was and how he dealt with things, it was useless, and he cut to the chase with her.
"Okay, then I'll get to the point quickly. You've been dating for a long time. Have you considered the future of you and Yan Chengan?"
Yu Xing stopped being long-winded, and wanted to let her understand that the way of being an actor in the entertainment industry is not so easy through today's conversation, and to find out her views on Yan Chengan's future career development.
"The future is marriage, normal life and respective career development."
Su Man's natural conclusion made Yu Xing almost choked on the coffee he had just drank, and the look in her eyes was a little strange.
You are too confident!
"Then have you thought about how to make Yan Chengan's future better?"
Yu Xing looked at Su Man again, hoping that she could really take a look at reality. Even if an actor is very qualified, talented, willing to work hard, and has acting skills, it is not so good to be in the early stage. All aspects of work must be done well, and shortcomings must be reduced.
Relationships are even more important.
"His future will be very good. It will only be better with me. If you have something to say, I will ask you when you are finished."
Su Man came today, but he didn't want to waste time tangled with him on these meaningless foreshadowings.
These provocative questions and emotions, Su Man had already experienced in the last life, and felt tired and crooked.
Yu Xing made a stalk and once again lamented that Su Man is indeed not very suitable to be the wife of a public figure.
"I hope you understand that Yan Chengan is a very talented actor, and he has a good future. If you really want to marry him, you should also think more about him. Pay attention to how often you look for him on a daily basis. Will it affect his work, will it affect his image, can he be a qualified wife to help him—"
Yu Xing used Yan Chengan's future to persuade her not to get involved with Yan Chengan in front of others, keep a low profile and secret, and pay attention to her own flaws.
Hearing such remarks, Su Man hurriedly stopped, looking at this straight man's agent with extremely serious cancer and extremely selfish, asked a key question that changed Yu Xing's face.
"In this case, have you told Yan Cheng'an? Was it his suggestion, or his agreement, or was it entirely your own decision?"
Yu Xing naturally wouldn't tell lies in front of her that could be easily pierced, and tried to continue playing emotional cards and moral kidnapping to persuade Su Man.
"I believe that we all want to be good for Chengan. He wants to be the best actor. I don't think it's too much."
Su Man sighed at Yu Xing, who usually concealed well, but now he finally showed his true thoughts in front of her.
"Do you think you are very powerful when you are self-righteous, high above, distort the perception of rights, dignity, attitude, etc. in intimate relationships, and use dedication as an inducement to achieve your goals?"
"If I were just an ordinary office worker, a simple little girl would probably think that you said a lot. Why do you, an outsider, demand me with this kind of moral kidnapping?"
"Who gave you the right, gave you the courage!"
Yu Xing's expression also cooled down completely, no longer pretending to be friendly. But when he saw Su Man dialing his familiar Yan Chengan's phone number on the cell phone she had placed on the table, he panicked and shouted.
"what are you doing!"
"Don't be impulsive, I didn't do anything at all, I just wanted to chat with you from the perspective of an agent! Don't be so malicious to me!"
At this time, Yu Xing is not an agent who has seen so many storms and can maintain his superficial skills no matter what the situation, involving the seedlings that he has finally cooperated with, he does not want to be with his girlfriend because of this inexplicable Dispute and broke up with Yan Chengan.
He knows Yan Chengan well, so he never reveals some of his thoughts in front of him, because Yan Chengan is indeed a bright person, and he absolutely cannot accept some of his "self-assertion".
Su Man's hands did stop. In fact, whether it was Su Chengwen, the Su family or Yu Xing, only by poking at the things they really cared about would they show the truth from their arrogant and hypocritical appearances. Emotions, revealing their cowardice and scruples.
But Su Man wasn't interested in seeing their truth either. She was just still hesitating whether there was a more suitable manager for Yan Chengan in the circle, and whether it was appropriate for her to rashly intervene in the career of Yan Chengan, who was now just a boyfriend.
"You really didn't do anything and didn't want to do anything? Change someone, someone who is successful enough and you need to look up to. Do you dare to tell the other person what to do for your partner's career?"
Su Man didn't ponder any more, but once again pierced Yu Xing's careful thoughts, making Yu Xing, who had never been directly poked at the dark thoughts in the center, feel an unprecedented embarrassment and shame. But he was still holding on to his defense, and at the same time he did feel a little wronged.
"Then tell me, what have I done!"
"Have you ever wanted or ever interfered with Yan Chengan's personal feelings with any words or actions, and used all kinds of persuasion in the name of the other party's good."
As soon as Su Man said these words, Yu Xing felt that his chest was blocked. Could it be that Su Man had installed surveillance beside him? That was also the future thoughts that he occasionally flashed, how could things develop like this!
If he had known, he would not be so stupid to ask her out to talk. Instead, she caught the talk and fell into this embarrassing situation.
"It stands to reason that you won't be idle, will you? If you don't concentrate on improving your professional ability, build a more efficient and complete work team as soon as possible, and find better books, directors, and endorsements for actors who have signed brokerage contracts. what?"
Su Man also really didn't understand. He didn't have to like her. They kept the most indifferent distance between them, and they could do their own thing. Also too busy.
"Do you think that Yan Chengan is incompetent, or that you have to rely on your partner to be in the position, or that you just want to satisfy your desire for manipulation, so you always think about interfering and manipulating the normal private and emotional life of your artists."
Su Man's series of words directly shocked Yu Xing into position, and he finally raised his hand to stop.
"Stop, stop, you are really enough, don't say it. These are just your own speculations and guesses. I think our conversation today can also end here. I surrender."
After speaking, Yu Xing wanted to get up and leave.
When Su Man spoke again, he stopped when he was about to unscrew the handle of the box.
"Director Lou Qiao is a good director, and he has indeed won many awards for many of the films he has made before, and he also trains the actors. But he also has the experience of several works that have not been released in the Mainland, and the box office is bleak and silent. , It is not uncommon to lose to the sky in the end."
"Are you prepared for this?"
Su Man commented on this well-known director who is actually very artistic in his bones, and finally asked the reason why she came to see Yu Xing today.
In the last life, this film changed and changed again and again during the filming process, and it went further and further, and the final product was too dark and obscure to pass the censorship at all.
Director Lou Qiao was unwilling to change his face beyond recognition. He could only get foreign exhibitions, and he also won several small film exhibition awards, but overall he still failed. There is nothing in the country, and there is nothing to be done abroad to prepare for the award, so it took everyone nearly a year of time, burning money, energy, and dedication.
Director Lou did not believe in evil, so he made another film and failed again.
After all, the people in the entire film team didn't get anything good. It can only be said that under the request of Director Lou's random divergence and nitpicking, Yan Chengan gradually realized the sublimation and transformation of his acting skills in such films that dig deep into human nature, and he was also recognized and accepted by the circle of director Lou and screenwriters. The biggest gain.
It was not until three years later that Yan Chengan filmed a biographical film directed by Lou Qiao's brother from the same family, won many domestic heavyweight film stars in one fell swoop, and was nominated for the film festival film champion nomination of one of the three major foreign film festivals. The road to sweeping awards.
It's a pity...an accident happened again.
Thinking of this, Su Man's heart sank, and she looked back at Yu Xing, who had returned to her seat with a sullen face to see what she had to say.
She hates Yu Xing, but Yu Xing is still Yan Chengan's manager.
Whether he is suitable or not to be Yan Chengan's business partner should be decided by Yan Chengan himself, whether in the last life or now.
A few years ago, the conflict between Yu Xing and her was not that big, and he had been hiding it well. In the two or three years when Yan Chengan was at his worst, when no one wanted him except for the obscure literary and artistic films of the sword, Yu Xing never gave up or betrayed Yan Chengan, and always tried his best to run for him, so that Yan Chengan could continue to focus on Improve your acting skills.
Probably because of this, Yan Chengan trusts him more and more, but Yu Xing realizes that his affection has deepened after Yan Chengan's success, and he also shows his tricks. Yan Chengan also ended the partnership with him, gave Yu Xing a lot of financial compensation, and stopped contacting him.
Going back to this time period, Su Man wanted to put the contradictions on the table as soon as possible, and cut off Yu Xing's fluke and possible temptations.
"So, where did you know the inside story from?"
Yu Xing still suppressed his temper and went back to the table to examine the woman in front of him, not sure if she got any inside information.
"Director Lou's first two films were very successful, and everyone had expectations for him, and it was easy to ignore the risks."
"You have to watch the director team and actors, when they themselves may not have noticed the shooting direction that does not go to the extreme and runs counter to the results everyone wants, remind, fight for, and deal with the aftermath as much as possible."
"Whether you want to show in the mainland or win awards directly abroad, don't take chances, think about the worst possible in advance."
Apart from that, Su Man didn't say much, and she said enough today.
Even though Yan Chengan finally achieved great success in the last life, he also gained growth and friendship from this slump, which is still regrettable.
The films that hundreds of people spent so much painstaking effort finally saw very few viewers. Yan Chengan went directly from a highly sought-after new-generation acting actor to a cancer that no one cares about in literary films, and then re-acted small-investment films and hard-to-find films. For the released literary and artistic films, director Lou Qiao was also slumped for many years.
It is natural to shoot, Yan Chengan needs director Lou Qiao and this kind of film to polish, and the director team also spent a lot of thought. But could this movie end up with a slightly better ending than the last one?
She is not suitable to intervene in this matter, and now the most suitable person is only Yu Xing.
So, she will come here.
After Yu Xing heard these words, his heart slowly picked up, Su Man was right. The filming has not yet started, and the entire team including him are immersed in Yan Chengan's joy of winning the leading role in Lou's new film, ignoring the risks behind it.
"So, on the plane that day, what else did you and Lou talk about?"
Yu Xing has made up his mind that he will pay attention to the direction of the film after the filming starts, and prepare in advance. Selectively forgetting the first half of the meeting, he still bowed his head to Su Man, wanting to know more information.
He is indeed a reality and a force, so he needs to know all the information that may affect Yan Chengan's future path.
"I didn't talk to him about the content of the movie, I only asked him about private investment and asked him to help connect."
Su Man also sorted out his handbag and stood up. Today's meeting is almost over here.
Yu Xing was startled, investment?
"You have the money to invest in this movie? Did he agree? How much?"
He quickly figured in his heart that if he could have his own people as investors, then he would be able to watch the director more justifiably and restrict him.
Yu Xing blocked the door and asked seriously. It was also the first time today that she was serious and eager in her tone.
"I wouldn't cast a film that was too risky and wouldn't make much money. I asked him to help introduce other directors, who made comedies."
"It should be your theory that I don't love him. But on the contrary, because I love him, I would not invest in his films."
Su Man looked at Yu Xing, the perfect words were not as heavy and aggressive as what she said before, but Yu Xing was stunned for a long time after she left.
Su Man can spend money to buy gifts for him and spend a lot of money to do various things for him, but he never thought of spending money to support him.
Yan Chengan's pursuit is to be an excellent actor who can leave good works. This is his own career. He is actually a very proud and persistent man.
She should give him respect and trust.
