Capítulo 1759: Chapter 1169: Take a Seat, Let’s Talk_2
“Mr. Jiang.”
Amidst the whispers, the trainees noticed that the senior Jin Zhuxuan also jogged over.
Why so many people eagerly signed up, aside from the fact that all expenses were covered, was the opportunity to interact with a dream star like Jin Zhuxuan. Even if they get eliminated in the end, it’s worth six months of effort.
“Taking ti off from filming to teach, that’s tough.”
Since Jin Zhuxuan was teaching figure classes, she was wearing tight yoga clothes that perfectly outlined her excellent figure. Her hair was tied with a simple rubber band, exuding friendliness, completely lacking the cold and aloofness seen in fashion magazines.
Especially as she stood next to Jiang Chen, with her left hand holding the fingertips of her right hand, hanging in front of her body, she looked more like an introverted young girl than the divine idol famous across Korea.
The observing trainees exchanged whispers more frequently.
“The company cultivated , it’s my duty to give back to the company.”
Jiang Chen and Cui Heng exchanged a glance, both smiling simultaneously.
“You’re already using idioms, progressing really fast.”
Jin Zhuxuan shyly smiled, grasping her fingertips.
“How was your first filming experience? Did it go smoothly?”
Jiang Chen asked.
Jin Zhuxuan debuted as an idol, and her path in Korea wasn’t as an actress.
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jiang, I felt great, and I appreciate the company giving this opportunity.”
So polite.
It’s unclear if it’s a strength or a flaw.
Undeniably, Korean entertainnt companies are quite skilled at PUA with artists.
“If you want to thank soone, don’t thank the company, thank Pei Yunxi. She recomnded you.”
“Mr. Jiang, Zhuxuan has already thanked Yun Xi in person.” Cui Heng spoke.
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, even though he had successfully lured her onto the pirate ship, he didn’t drastically change his attitude post-success, just like in Korea, and winked at Jin Zhuxuan.
“Did you learn anything?”
Jin Zhuxuan blinked her dense eyelashes, showing confusion, and then heard Jiang Chen say: “In the future, build a good relationship with this senior, she has many film offers and if she passes a few to you, it could save you a lot of effort.”
Cui Heng couldn’t help but chuckle.
Jin Zhuxuan froze a bit, as if not realizing Jiang Chen was joking, and earnestly nodded: “I understand, Mr. Jiang.”
“Alright, then I’ll let you get back to class.”
The brief eting and conversation lasted only a few minutes.
But the trainees noticed that when Teacher Jin Zhuxuan walked back, there was a light-hearted smile on her face, and after the second half of the class started, she seed much more energized.
“Your Star Creation plan, did you take inspiration from South Korea’s training system?”
Jiang Chen asked as he walked, completely unaware of how powerful his few short words were.
“The dostic entertainnt scene is in short supply, most young artists enter just for fa and profit, lacking in overall qualities, and their dedication and effort fall short compared to the older generation. If this continues, the whole industry will rot. Seeking fa and profit is understandable, but one must first take responsibility for the profession.”
“Your care is evident.”
Jiang Chen recited.
“It’s also because of Mr. Jiang’s support.”
“Alright, I rarely co by and you’re flattering . Since the Star Creation plan has started, do it well. During my youth, Korean artists were invincible, dominating all corners. Thankfully, at that ti, there was still a batch of dostic stars to hold the line, preventing a total collapse.”
“The main reason was the restriction order.” Cui Heng calmly stated.
Jiang Chen was speechless, then chuckled, nodding: “So I wonder, we once had artists who could stand their ground, but if the restriction order is lifted now, what would happen?”
“After years of stable developnt, we’ve made great progress, but in terms of overall quality, we’re still lagging behind Korea. In a place as small as a county, they can cultivate world-class idols, make Oscar-winning films, and this gap cannot be ignored.”
Cui Heng said: “After the restriction order ca, we got a golden developnt period, and without external pressure, the whole circle got complacent, to be blunt, unmotivated, with a single-minded focus on money, completely forgetting responsibility towards the market and the fans.”
If these words ca from an ordinary person, it would definitely be seen as cynical, envious, and hateful, but coming from Cui Heng, the ace manager, it had a peculiar flavor.
For a seasoned insider to make such an assessnt, it shows just how degenerate the circle has beco.
“In a superior environnt, there’s nothing we can do. If we were as small as Korea, competing for a limited cake, I believe our artists would also work insanely hard.”
“Those who don’t respect the profession should be eliminated.”
Jiang Chen laughed, patting this ace manager who still respects the industry.
“You’ve got a heavy load to carry, but I support you in spirit.”
“As long as Mr. Jiang supports, I’m willing to be the catalyst.”
“I hired you to share the cake, not to overturn the table.”
Cui Heng remained unfazed, naturally replying: “Mr. Jiang likely doesn’t care about the entertainnt industry’s cake.”
Jiang Chen smiled.
“I told you, stop flattering.”
The young man’s abilities were glimpsed during that successful rescue trip to the two Yue regions.
The entertainnt industry really is a glamorous showground, but ultimately, it’s just another industry.
If every industry is a dish,
then the entertainnt industry is not qualified to be served at certain tables.
Just like the Star Creation plan.
Stars are not irreplaceable after all, they can even be mass-produced.
No matter how popular soone like Pei Yunxi is, wasn’t she still abducted on the street?
If stars are seen as tools for making money, the concept becos easy to understand.
No matter how useful the tool, once unwanted, it can be casually discarded.
That’s why noble families never take stars seriously.
They’re simply not on the sa level.
“Since Mr. Jiang doesn’t like hearing flattery, I won’t, overturning the table is to clear off the rotten stuff and bad dishes, so we can have better als.”
Jiang Chen laughed, “That sounds good.”
A phone ring broke out.
Jiang Chen saw it was Pei Yunxi calling.
He picked up, connecting the call.
Cui Heng quickly kept quiet.
“What’s up?”
“You’re not at the company?”
“I am, Cui Heng brought down to see the training camp.”
“I’m waiting in your office.”
Jiang Chen was surprised, “Now?”
“Yes.”
Pei Yunxi repeated, “I’m waiting for you.”
Then the call was disconnected.
“Yun Xi ca to the company?”
Cui Heng asked.
Jiang Chen put down his phone, nodding.
“Then you should hurry, Mr. Jiang.”
Cui Heng was understanding.
Jiang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony, nor was he worried about being misunderstood. So people, even if they know a secret, can keep it well.
He patted Cui Heng on the shoulder.
“Thanks for your hard work.”
“Thank you, Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Chen paused slightly, then looked at him, smiled, and walked away.
“How can you freely enter my office?”
In front of her father, they sounded so close, but when alone, Boss Jiang put on a different face, questioning the top star of the company, Pei Yunxi, who walked into the office without an invitation.
Pei Yunxi was quite calm, “Should I go out and knock again then?”
Having battled in the entertainnt industry for so long, she certainly won’t be troubled by trifles. Her persistence in joining this field against her family’s wishes shows she’s not soone who overthinks.
No matter what she does, she can’t prevent gossip online, and in CX Entertainnt, even if she keeps her distance from a certain soone, she can’t erase others’ speculations.
Since that’s the case, why act?
“Well… it’s not like you can’t.”
Jiang Chen joked, deliberately wanting to see her reaction, but she ignored it, as if she were the real owner of this office.
“Sit, let’s talk.”
