Episode 38: The Bloody Lessons of the Two Teachers Chen and Cao Daguan
In the second half of 2020, the situation gradually improved. Although there were times of tension in local areas, the overall environment was much better than in the first half of the year.
Film and television companies have also resumed work one after another, but the scale and quantity have dropped off a cliff compared to the previous two days.
Domestic film and television companies, except for Fanxing Family, which has led or participated in double-digit film and television projects at the same time, all companies are currently relatively conservative. On the one hand, they are observing the situation, and on the other hand, life is indeed difficult.
In contrast, several video platforms that have become increasingly powerful in recent years have relied on their own platform and financial advantages during this period.
Become the entity that invests and participates in the largest number of projects besides Fanxing.
Leaving aside the movie market for now, the television field has basically concluded that the world will be dominated by video platforms for quite some time in the future.
Only CCTV, which has a special status, and Hunan Satellite TV, which owns a video website, managed to hold on to the last two territories of the TV stations that were almost completely wiped out in this big wave.
At this time, people are increasingly aware of Cao Xuan's precise vision and courage when he teamed up with Penguin and spent billions to create the giant Penguin Star.
Fanxing, which owns a large share of Penguin Star, is the only film and television company that is not constrained by the platform.
Although the two companies may have differences on some details, their strategies have always been consistent, allowing the stars to advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
During the summer vacation, officials announced that movie theaters could open in areas where the situation was not severe, and film and television cities also approved full restoration.
It was also at this time that Cao Xuan, as the boss, issued a "Letter to Fanxing Employees" to all employees of Fanxing Group.
Cao Xuan is the boss of Fanxing and the helmsman of this entertainment giant. There is no doubt about this.
However, in his daily work, Cao Xuan rarely faces the entire company's employees directly. He basically communicates with senior executives, and even rarely appears in conferences above the middle level.
In the impression of many ordinary employees of Fanxing, Cao Xuan's attributes as a "superstar" are greater than those of a "boss".
As for this kind of internal group secrets released in the name of the boss, facing all Fanxing employees, this is the first time in the nearly 23 years since Fanxing was founded.
This unprecedented event also means that Cao Xuan attaches great importance to the current node.
In this letter, Cao Xuan elaborated on the current difficulties facing the stars and even the entire industry.
【Winter has arrived】
[In a short period of time, the market environment and general environment we face will be unprecedentedly bad]
[Perhaps, this is the biggest crisis Fanxing has faced since its establishment]
But Cao Xuan also worked hard to strengthen the confidence of all employees to overcome difficulties.
[Stars all over the world will devote maximum efforts and resources to lead the group and even the entire industry through the cold winter. This is our responsibility as an industry leader]
[I declare that no matter how difficult the situation is, Fanxing Group will not carry out large-scale layoffs on the grounds of xx, so Fanxing people will face it together]
[The darkness eventually dissipates and the stars shine brightly]
This letter not only caused a sensation within Fanxing, but was also widely disseminated and discussed throughout the industry and outside.
Just a person who does not lay off employees due to XX is enough for many people to envy, envy and hate. You must know that in the current environment, bankruptcies and layoffs are simply commonplace.
Although public opinion has changed in recent years, Cao Xuan has often been labeled a capitalist/vampire.
But in times of crisis, Cao Xuan still showed the responsibility a boss should have and gave all employees reassurance.
Fanxing chose to brave the cold winter and subsequently announced a series of projects, which also excited many people.
The environment was harsh, but Fanxing did not surrender, but actively led everyone to deal with it. This allowed practitioners who were filled with pessimism to see hope.
After dominating the entertainment industry for so many years, Fanxing has accumulated countless reputations. When Boss Cao speaks, everyone has a backbone.
It doesn't matter if life is difficult, the most fearful thing is that there is no hope, now
With Cao Xuan taking the lead, we will fight to the death!
A large number of practitioners forwarded or supported Cao Xuan's ***, "A Letter to Fanxing Employees", which vaguely turned into "A Letter to All Practitioners in the Entertainment Industry".
People are also becoming more and more aware of Cao Xuan's status and prestige in the entertainment industry, and he really responds to millions of calls.
Foreign media often refer to Cao Xuan as the "Emperor of Chinese Entertainment", and many people regard it as a joke or an honorary title.
But this incident made everyone realize that this name is actually a fact to some extent.
However, Boss Cao himself firmly disagrees with this statement.
There is a second-generation rich man named Qin in Shanghai with the nickname "Shanghai Emperor". He has been called "Shanghai Emperor" for so many years and no one has bothered him, because those who know the basics treat it as a joke and no one takes it seriously.
But if someone tries to name Jack Ma "King of Zhejiang and Hangzhou", Jack Ma will not recognize him even if he is beaten to death. If he does, he will be punished immediately.
It's not that Jack is a coward, it's because he has indeed reached that level. Even if it is just a certain part or influence, it is countless times worse than that Young Master Qin.
In the same way, Cao Xuan is not the so-called "Chinese Entertainment Emperor", not because he is not qualified, but precisely because he does have the ability.
The tree is so big that it attracts the wind!
In November, the eldest son Cao Xian finally returned to school after staying in South Korea for nearly a year. Considering the inconvenience of returning, he will probably have to celebrate the New Year in China.
Although he often video chats, Boss Cao is still very happy to see his eldest son back with his own eyes.
He personally cooked for his son and entertained him, and also did some cooking at the same time. He heard from the eldest princess that this boy was not idle in Korea.
He had a passionate fight with a female trainee, uh, maybe two. At the same time, there seemed to be another hot chat partner online, who seemed to be from China.
What a scumbag!
Cao Xuan even despised his eldest son, who was even more shameless than when he was younger.
However, there was nothing he could do about the child. He tried to persuade her, but to no avail.
This boy is naturally romantic and handsome, and is particularly popular with girls. Even if he doesn't take the initiative, a bunch of little girls will pounce on him.
From what Cao Xuan learned from Cao Xian's playmates, it's not that some girls don't know Cao Xianhua, but they are still willing to play with him.
Some are lying to themselves and pretending not to know, some are reluctant to leave him, and some believe that true love is invincible and think that they can make their prodigal son come back.
How should I put it? Cao Xuan believed that his rank and charm were not as good as those of his eldest son at the same time.
Of course, it is also related to his lack of money and family environment. If his parents were super rich and he had enjoyed a favorable environment and resources since childhood, he would have dared to pick up girls everywhere.
But no matter what, we still have to beat when we should.
Cao Xian is now in high school and is about to become an adult. At this age, many things that should happen have happened.
After two years of fooling around, after having fun but not doing well, I will naturally become honest and go home to inherit the family business.
"Your mother, you can handle it yourself. If she agrees, I won't object, but I will only give you two years. If you can't get out of trouble in two years, then you can help your mother or go to the company I arranged for you."
"OK."
Cao Xian, being a young man, agreed immediately and even made a bet with his father.
"If I were to make music, I would definitely be better than my predecessors. I would surpass your achievements and become a better singer than you."
"hehe."
Cao Xuan sneered. He was his own son and he didn't want to shock him too much.
Still surpass him? Do you know what a palace-level world king is?
Even if he resurrected Michael Jackson, the other party would not dare to boast that he is better than Cao Xuan. This is the confidence that countless achievements, honors and hundreds of millions of fans have given Cao Xuan.
The kid with a yellow mouth doesn't know how high the sky is. Unless a system falls from the sky, he will live in the shadow of his father for the rest of his life.
ps: The new book has been drafted and will be released on the 22nd of this month. It is still China Entertainment. I am not sure about the specific release time because it is subject to review. If you are interested, you can go to the group and wait for news.
Due to several revisions of the draft, the outline has also changed. The final version is different from what was mentioned before. Hope you know.
