In 1981, under the bright white summer sun in Beijing, a young man with a bare back and a towel hanging around his neck was pedaling a tricycle with his head buried and bare feet in the direction of the Xisi Post Office.

, the blazing sun hit his dark skin, squeezing out layers of sweat, which condensed into drops. The flatbed truck passed a hurdle, and his body was shaken. The sweat beads fell to the ground and broke into several petals.

.

He failed the college entrance examination and had to work as a temporary worker at the publishing house. He rode a tricycle back and forth from the publishing house twice every day to deliver the books to the Xisi Post Office, and then to the train station every two days, and then every day.

During the worship service, I had to ride a bicycle from Baita Temple to Baijiazhuang Printing Factory to deliver books.

Because the weather was too hot, he had to take off his shoes and hang them on the car and pedal with bare feet. This way, the soles of his feet would sweat less and he would not feel so uncomfortable while pedaling.

In a flash, twenty-six years have passed.

That year, Liu Yanming, who was pedaling his car, never expected that just four years later, at the age of 22, he would be promoted to the director of the editorial department of the publishing house, and would have contact with the most senior leaders in this vast land from time to time.

people.

He never thought that eight years later, he would leave his post as the production director of the Beijing TV Station's literary and art department and choose to go overseas.

He never imagined that twenty-six years later, he would start from advertising and create a media empire.

At that time, he always believed that hard work can create everything, because after he went to Shanghai and started his company, he relied on him to ride his bicycle street after street, begging his grandfather and grandma to help him.

But later, he realized that hard work could not create everything, so he came up with the eye-catching slogan "Wisdom creates value" after entering the door of Hairun Building today.

He once thought that he could jump up by straightening his back, because in the past, when he was the director of a publishing house, he had seen many big things in the world. He could occasionally see the characters who appeared in the first few minutes of the Xinwen Network, and even talked about them twice.

sentence.

But when he actually went to the sea, he found out that it was not the case, because once when he was meeting a client, he entered someone else's house, but was kicked out because of dirty shoes. Although he was still himself, he was not the one who could often meet with the leader to report on his work.

He is the director of a publishing house, but he is just a self-employed person. He has to learn how to bend down to get things done.

He once thought that "Bright Sword" was just a new level of icing on the cake for Hairun, but now that he was deeply involved in the whirlpool of dramas and mommy dramas, he suddenly realized that it was actually the pinnacle of the company.

Two years ago, a fellow Huayi hero cut his wrist, leaving behind his burdens, Wang Jinghua, traveling lightly, embracing capital, and starting anew.

At the beginning, he thought Huayi's reform methods were too drastic, but because of Huayi artists' exodus, he came up with some ideas and took some moderate actions to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Subsequently, "The Promise" and "The City of Golden Armor" were released, and famous directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige encountered waterloo. At the same time, the leading male artist Liu Ye, who wanted to make a comeback, fell from the altar, prompting him to start to rethink Huayi

feasibility of choice.

Last year, Fan Bingbing established a studio and became the first artist to try something new. She opened a new model for artist studio operations, maximizing her personal brand and skyrocketing commercial value. She verified the feasibility of this operating model and became his

The last weight that swings the balance in my heart.

The wolf is really coming.

Hairun must reform, must be listed, and must become bigger and stronger. This is the consensus reached by the founder team.

Scraping bones to heal wounds is imperative.

At the same time, Hairun needs to expand its business sectors, needs more outstanding artists, and more powerful agents, instead of being a nanny-type agency like a small workshop.

Therefore, he abandoned Chang Jihong and replaced Guo Si, who had little control over the brokerage company.

As for artists, Liu Ye, who is already depressed, is not his target. Sun Li's boyfriend Green Tea Brother is.

However, Hairun's gap in the film market does not have the slightest appeal. At the beginning of the month, Green Tea joined Huayi and took the top position as the second brother of Huayi.

This made him a little sad.

Yesterday, the brokerage company submitted an application, and Xu Rong wanted to borrow 30 million.

The reason is to buy a house.

He didn't think this was the real reason. The timing was too subtle. Just when he was looking to expand his artist team, and when the company was actively pursuing transformation, Xu Rong used a reason that seemed far-fetched to everyone and issued his own statement.

sound.

The young man took this to remind him and at the same time weigh his own position in his heart.

There was no argument, no quarrel, no fuss, but he understood that this was a tacit understanding between smart people.

When Xu Qing recommended this young man to him, he didn't pay much attention to him. He didn't even have professional training. Moreover, when Xu Qing recommended him, she didn't hide it from him. She just felt pity for him and gave him a chance.

At that time, he didn't even ask his name and threw it to Chang Jihong.

The first time I had an impression of Xu Rong was at the annual meeting the year before last, but then I gradually forgot about it.

He knew very well how the brand fell in the first place. Even if Xu Rong didn't help, someone would help it up. The story of Shang Yang standing up a tree to win trust, and the story of King Yan Zhao buying a horse bone for a thousand gold, is too cliche and too familiar.

But it works really well.

New wine in old bottles. Although the gameplay has changed, people's hearts remain unchanged.

The effect was as expected. Most middle- and lower-class artists chose to sign with the company after their contracts with Chang Jihong expired.

This was the revelation that Wang Jinghua's departure brought to him, and he adopted a gentle approach.

Until this year, this young man who was still a student gave him an unexpected surprise and became an instant hit, filling the gap of Liu Ye's decadent backstage actor.

A loan of 30 million is not a small amount. He needs to meet this young man.

Wisdom creates value, without wisdom there is no future.

Thirty million allowed him to see the wisdom of this young man, but wisdom alone was not enough.

There are many smart people in this world, and there are even more people who are not smart but think they are smart, but there are very few smart people who think they are stupid.

When he arrived at the set, he saw the current No. 1 brother of his company from a distance, looking earnest and sincere, talking to Xu Qing.

This surprised him very much. He had vaguely heard about Xu Qing's family background.

But Xu Rong has a girlfriend after all.

This is not what he cares about. Personal life is all minutiae and cannot affect the overall situation.

"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu, the chairman is here to see you."

When a tall and thin young man with short hair called him, Xu Rong was surprised for a moment, but when he saw the chubby middle-aged man with long hair behind the young man, he was stunned.

After dazed for a moment, Xu Rong stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Chairman, why are you here?"

Liu Yanming was the first to define a smart person. Yesterday, he specifically used 30 million to hint at himself. Today, he looks like it has never happened at all. His sophistication is beyond the wisdom of his age.

Liu Yanming smiled and said: "Our mainstay is working hard outside, and I come here to reward him for his hard work. Isn't it right?"

He turned his head and said to Xu Qing: "Teacher Xu, my condolences."

Xu Rong couldn't say it shouldn't or should, so he could only say: "Thank you, Chairman, for your concern."

Aunt Xu said "thank you" and stopped talking. She had just finished crying. Director Jiang Wei originally planned to let her go back to rest, but she refused and the filming was not finished yet.

Xu Rong glanced at Aunt Xu, who obviously didn't want to talk, and said, "Chairman, let's go and talk?"

"OK."

"Did the filming go well?"

Xu Rong looked at Liu Yanming's kind face, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's okay."

After Hong's "kind" exchanges, he no longer cares much about kindness.

As for the filming, in his opinion, it was not smooth. The entire crew's commitment was too low, even though it is still in the running-in period.

"It's okay, but not quite, haha." Liu Yanming laughed twice. Although she didn't quite understand what he meant, she still said, "Call me if you need anything. If I'm busy, you can call me. Zhang said, let him convey it to me."

He said and pointed to the young man wearing glasses who was always smiling next to him.

The young man smiled and said, "Teacher Xu, just call me Xiao Zhang."

"Well, thank you, Chairman. I just hope you don't find it troublesome when the time comes."

"Haha, whatever can be solved is no trouble." Liu Yanming smiled and watched Xu Rong take the two business cards handed over by Xiao Zhang, "How do you plan for your future?"

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, wondering in his heart, Liu Yanming came over to ask him this question, right?

But this question was too simple. He thought about it for a moment and said, "Of course I want to film well, and I won't do anything else."

"Well, that's a good idea."

Liu Yanming didn't stay long. After saying hello to Xu Qing, he left in a car.

But when people arrive, so do their attitudes.

After getting in the car, Liu Yanming thought for a while and asked the secretary sitting in the passenger seat: "Xiao Zhang, what do you think?"

His secretary turned his head and smiled, saying: "Chairman, I'm not very good at judging, but there are a few things that I think are quite interesting. Let me report to you. The first thing is that Xu Rong is an orphan. He couldn't go to school before. When I was in college, I followed people from the same village to work on construction sites in Kyrgyzstan, and that’s how I got into the acting profession.”

"The second thing was that in order to win the role of the Ming Dynasty, he stood at the door of Liu Heping's garage for seven days."

"The third thing is that after becoming famous this year, apart from rushing to a commercial show for a week because of Vice President Chang's arrangement, I have never received a commercial contract since then."

Chang Jihong is still the vice president of a brokerage company, and is on the same level as Guo Si in terms of position, but lacks the note of Guo Si's "hosting work".

"In addition, there are two other things. One is when Xu Rong was involved in the false testimony incident a few months ago, I heard Vice President Zhao say that someone acted earlier than us and settled the matter in advance. The other is At that time, many actors spoke for him."

He seemed to be very familiar with Xu Rong. His family situation and his upbringing were explained one by one without any hesitation. It seemed that everything had been prepared and was just waiting for Liu Yanming to ask.

But he didn't give any tendentious comments, he just stated the facts, but everything he picked seemed to be carefully selected, highlighting a very key characteristic of Xu Rong.

Liu Yanming nodded while listening. At the end, she shook her head with a smile and said, "Guo Si is also incompetent. She watched Xu Rong grow up, but she couldn't suppress him."
