Chapter 1477 Inspection Tour

Taking advantage of his recent abundance of time, Zhao Fusheng, accompanied by Zheng Yao, began an inspection tour of several subsidiaries under the Future Group.

After all, the company's business scope was now extremely broad, involving numerous projects.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the specific situation, Zhao Fusheng felt this inspection was necessary.

Zheng Yao shared the same view. As the big boss, Zhao Fusheng's inspection of the company would greatly help enhance its cohesion and combat effectiveness.

The first stop was naturally Future Film.

Future Film's business scope included not only movies and TV dramas but also the upcoming film base cooperation project with the Hengdian Group.

Moreover, Zhao Fusheng had other ideas.

"We must not only focus on the film and television production industry," Zhao Fusheng said earnestly to a group of senior executives in the Future Film office. "Whether it's the Future Group or Future Film, future development requires a large number of talents. We must emphasize the cultivation of talent."

"Chairman, we have a plan."

Ye Jing said to Zhao Fusheng, "We discussed internally before whether it's necessary to rename Future Film to Future Film Culture Company."

"Culture company?"

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback, somewhat surprised. "What do you want to do?"

"We plan to sponsor some local vocational education schools and establish scholarships in some universities..." Ye Jing did not hide his thoughts from Zhao Fusheng.

This was a plan he and a group of senior executives at Future Film had arrived at after discussion.

Whether Future Film or the Future Group, they would need a large number of talents in the future. These people must have a strong sense of belonging to the company. Doing this was undoubtedly a very good choice.

"Interesting."

Zhao Fusheng exchanged a glance with Zheng Yao and nodded. "In principle, I agree with your idea. I hope you can tell the people below that as long as everyone works wholeheartedly for the company, the company will also repay everyone wholeheartedly. Besides salary and benefits, we must ensure we are more reasonable and fairer than other companies."

With the big boss saying so, the people below were naturally elated.

In fact, whether executives or ordinary employees, everyone's purpose in coming out to work was to get a generous return. Without reason, no one wanted to live a tight life. Now that Zhao Fusheng was willing to improve employee benefits, naturally no one would oppose it.

After dismissing the executives, Zhao Fusheng, Zheng Yao, and Ye Jing, accompanied by several vice presidents, began inspecting the company.

"This year we plan to invest in two to three movies and three to five TV dramas," a vice president earnestly introduced to Zhao Fusheng and Zheng Yao. "The film and TV drama production industry is developing rapidly. After research, this is already our maximum limit."

Zhao Fusheng nodded. "Don't rush this matter. Taking too big a stride can easily hurt yourself. It's not important how many dramas we invest in; what's important is ensuring the success rate of investments."

"Yes, that's what we think too."

Ye Jing nodded beside him. "Also, I've discussed with President Zheng before, hoping the headquarters can provide more resource support. At the same time, we will insert some soft advertisements for the Future Group in the modern urban film and TV works we invest in..."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded. "Good, that's the best approach."

Anything beneficial to the Future Group's development was good for him. Zhao Fusheng naturally had no reason to oppose or refuse.

Zheng Yao said without hesitation, "The group will coordinate with the advertising company to ensure assistance."

As the CEO of the group company, although she devoted more energy to Future Advertising, Zheng Yao could still distinguish which side was more important when it came to the overall interests of the group.

"By the way, any progress on the company's artist signing?"

Zhao Fusheng then asked about another matter.

Ye Jing looked at a middle-aged man wearing glasses behind him. The man quickly stepped forward and reported to Zhao Fusheng, "According to your instructions, we haven't signed too many people recently. For artists signed before, we also screened them after their contracts expired. So far, the company has signed not many artists. Specifically, there are..."

Then he picked a few names and said them out loud.

Zhao Fusheng nodded. "I have no requirements on this, but one thing: the artists under our company must ensure personal moral character. One is one, two is two. If married, don't claim to be single. If high school educated, don't say you have a PhD. If pregnant and having a child, formally notify the press. If anyone gets married or has a child and still says they'll do a split for everyone, make them pay compensation and leave. Understand?"

The few people looked at each other, surprised by the severity in Zhao Fusheng's words, but upon reflection, what Zhao Fusheng said actually made some sense.

Future Film's resources and reputation in the circle were now top-notch. After all, in film and TV, connections and capital were equally important. For a company like Future Film, which had both money and connections, being able to enter here was undoubtedly a dream for actors.

But on the other hand, as public figures, if celebrities played with fake personas, if one day they collapsed, it would be a huge trouble.

At that time, the loss would not only be for the individual celebrity but also for the company behind them.

Celebrities could go missing, pretend to know nothing, or simply shut down their external communication channels, adopting a 'dead pig not afraid of scalding water' attitude. But the agency couldn't, because they had to continue operating.

As capital, they could certainly use other methods to whitewash, but the price to pay would be by no means small.

This was no joke. Whether it was Su Mingyu in "All Is Well" or Andy in "Ode to Joy," both actresses were in trouble due to various difficulties, so they took these roles, and their fees were definitely lower than people imagined.

The reason was simple: if your price wasn't a bit lower, they simply wouldn't use you.

Of course, they didn't go unrewarded.

The TV dramas became hits, and they themselves quickly regained popularity.

In the entertainment industry, many times, there are no secrets. So never set up a persona, because once the persona collapses, what you lose may be more than what you gain.

The inspection of Future Film soon came to an end. Zhao Fusheng instructed Ye Jing to arrange more acting opportunities for Jiang Wen recently, then took his leave.

As for the company's signed artists and directors, they were not qualified to meet the big boss.

This wasn't looking down on those celebrities, but because the occasion was different.

If it were an occasion like Future Film's annual meeting, Zhao Fusheng might meet them. But today, as the group company's chairman conducting an inspection, some rules had to be observed.

It's often said that nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. Zhao Fusheng understood this principle.

"Our next stop is Future Technology."

Sitting in the car, Wu Sijie checked the itinerary and said to Zhao Fusheng, "Should we notify Minister Dong?"

Minister Dong was naturally Dong Guoxiang.

Dong Guoxiang had previously served as the general manager of Future Technology and was more familiar with the company's situation.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and shook his head. "No need."

Since he had left Future Technology, Zhao Fusheng believed Dong Guoxiang would certainly not play the game of 'the tea gets cold when the person leaves.'

So, let things take their natural course—that was Zhao Fusheng's thought.

In fact, not only Zhao Fusheng but also Zheng Yao gave the same answer when her secretary raised the same question.

Having interacted for so many years, they knew Dong Guoxiang's character too well.

He was someone who trusted and respected Zhao Fusheng one hundred percent. In the entire Future Group, if there was anyone who couldn't be bought off, it was probably only him.
