My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 547: Bo Daying is an Artist Who Doesn’t Take His Job Seriously
Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Bo Daying is an Artist Who Doesn’t Take His Job Seriously
The news about Xie Lingling being fired by Diyang quickly appeared in the internal company newsletter, and all the artists in the company soon found out. Everyone was somewhat perplexed—why would Xie Lingling suddenly be fired at such a time?
Xie Lingling still had two films pending on her schedule, waiting for her to seamlessly join the production.
Now that Xie Lingling had left, to whom would her resources tilt?
Employees were speculating about the reasons behind Xie Lingling’s termination in the company’s internal chat group, and soon, they received the reasons through the internal newsletter.
They looked at each other in disbelief, finding it incredible.
The general manager of the business department publicly declared that the resources that were lined up for Xie Lingling would still be allocated to actors of similar types. As for any losses incurred, they would be taken care of by Diyang Media, and the artists who received these resources should just join the group and focus on filming with peace of mind.
The upper management of Diyang made the decision, and of course, none of the company’s artists had any right to interfere, especially since this involved company secrets.
Although nobody knew why Xie Lingling did what she did, they also couldn’t easily forgive her.
There may be plenty of resources within the company, but surely, it wasn’t to the extent that Xie Lingling had to share them with outsiders, was it? By doing so, what position does she put the company’s artists in?
It seems that Xie Lingling’s relationship with Xi Gu was not ordinary.
Some artists with wild imaginations guessed the fine details, "Do you think Xie Lingling’s previous incident with the Yeguang Sect’s script could be related to this?
You know, the male lead of the Yeguang Sect is an artist from the Film Emperor’s Wife Company, and all these twists and turns are easy to understand;
What was Xie Lingling thinking? Even without the Film Emperor’s wife, is that Miss Ji someone easy to provoke? What is the Xia Family’s status in the Imperial Community? Doesn’t Xie Lingling have any clue in her heart?"
"Who can be sure of that? What if Xie Lingling had something on Xi Gu, could she refuse to obey him?"
"That’s not impossible—I’ve heard that Xie Lingling and Xi Gu once had a thing."
"If that’s the case, why would she even sign with Diyang? Wouldn’t it have been better to sign with Huanya? Xi Gu would definitely tilt more resources her way. You guys think, this time, will Xi Gu directly invite Xie Lingling to his company? Aren’t the films from the bet he had with Xi Nian currently on hold?
Moreover, Ou Jinchu has fallen out with him, and their falling out is quite ugly now. If he wanted to make amends, actually Xie Lingling could be a way to do that. Her acting skills are not bad, she is one of Diyang’s capable actors, and that’s undeniable and nothing to be ashamed of."
"Indeed."
"Then she’ll probably go to Huanya, so if she goes to Huanya, then Xie Lingling is really..."
"Stop talking, stop talking. We can’t discuss the artists privately in the company, and you shouldn’t cross the company’s bottom line."
"Right, right."
...
Half an hour after the Xie Lingling incident, the deputy general manager of Diyang Media held a meeting for all the company’s artists. Diyang Media has a total of more than two hundred artists, and about a hundred and sixty or seventy of them are well-known and remembered by the audience.
All gathered in the large conference room, it felt like a face-to-face tea party with celebrities.
The big names, the popular ones, the fresh faces, and the newcomers—all converged together. Such occasions were rare, and quite a few newcomers were ready to ask their seniors for autographs.
Once the deputy general manager walked in, the incessant chattering in the conference room went completely silent, not a sound to be heard, his assistant following by his side.
"The purpose of today’s meeting is to reiterate the company’s rules and regulations to everyone. On this point, I will recap them for you all and subsequently, we will redistribute the company’s policies and procedures. I hope everyone will not breach the contract or rules;
Additionally, regarding the incident with Xie Lingling, it has already been communicated through internal mail. It’s sufficient that you are aware. Do not err, nor engage in whispers and gossip. This is the least respect we can show to a former colleague;
Finally, about the issue of resource allocation that used to be for Xie Lingling—everyone should have an idea. Resources will now shift towards actors of the same type and at the same level. Of course, we will be scouting for newcomers, and if they meet the conditions and are outstanding, then they will be set up with a group, start accepting work, and prepare to debut.
Di Yang has never been harsh with our artists, and we also hope that our artists will harbor appreciation for Di Yang. I’m not asking for your complete satisfaction with Di Yang but at the very least, do not commit acts that would embarrass Di Yang. You all know full well what this circle is like. Has Diyang ever made you do dispiriting accompanying drinking jobs just for the sake of resources?
I’m not boasting about Di Yang, nor am I too proud; I’m merely speaking to the facts. You are already very fortunate within the circle.
Therefore, I also hope everyone will appreciate what Di Yang has done for you. It’s not necessary for you to be extremely capable, but at least do not harm Di Yang’s interests. Those interests will eventually benefit you, becoming part of your resources. Please, everyone, think it over carefully before deciding the feasibility of your actions."
The deputy general manager emphasized the key points and said a lot, distributing the new policies and procedures to all the major artists, as well as the contracts that each person had signed before dismissing the meeting.
...
The decisions made by Diyang were quickly relayed to Yuran. Qi Younian received the news and was a bit surprised, "I didn’t expect that when Bo Da Film Emperor handles things, he’s so efficient. Yuran, do you think it’s because it involved you that things moved so quickly, or is it something else?"
Yuran ignored his teasing, "Di Yang is preparing to release a statement to explain Lu Xiao’s situation. Xia Ji, don’t worry, it will be settled soon."
Xia Ji nodded, "Yuran, I’m not worried, I just find it annoying. Lu Xiao has already let everyone know he’s taken, I don’t understand why they keep dragging him into these publicities, it’s infuriating."
"Your boyfriend is an artist, you need to get used to this kind of operation. There might be more of it in the future. If you can’t bear it now, what will you do later?"
Xia Ji, "I’ll adapt. I’m just a bit irritated right now, I won’t become a stumbling block for him. After all, it’s not easy for me to find a boyfriend that I’m compatible with, and I will cherish him."
Everyone laughed.
With the issue resolved, Yuran was ready to take off when Qi Younian asked, "Aren’t you going to have dinner with everyone?"
Yuran, holding her bag, shook her head in refusal, "You guys enjoy your meal, I’m off to the theme park to find Zhizhi and Bo Da Film Emperor. I’m worried that if I’m late, I’ll miss their dinner time."
"Bo Da Film Emperor dares to take Zhizhi to the theme park; that’s pretty bold."
Yuran laughed, "Otherwise? Should he not take Zhizhi there? How much joy would that take away from a childhood?"
After Yuran left, Qi Younian remarked, "I didn’t expect this. Bo Da Film Emperor actually dares to blatantly take his son to the theme park. Isn’t he worried about being recognized and mobbed?"
Kang Zhenyu, "Although Bo Da Film Emperor isn’t the type to actively engage with showbiz, when it comes to being a dad, he’s done nothing wrong. He does everything personally."
