Feng Mang by Chai Jidan (English Translation: COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 190

After the Board of Directors decided through voting process, Wang Zhongding was elected as Chairman of the Board as well as his concurrent post as CEO.

After he officially took office, he conducted a series of drastic reforms.

First is the expansion on investment scale.

The highly anticipated "Chinese-Western Film and Television Base" was upgraded again, adding top-class restaurants, natural outside sceneries and ghost towns. He wishes to create the most luxurious Film and Television Base in the mainland by providing the actors transcendent-quality clothing, food, housing and transport.

(衣食住行 or clothing, food, housing and transport = idiom for basic needs)

Second is the expansion of operation domain.

Apart from basic operation domain such as film and television, music, and artists, he also added a number of businesses such as fashion industry, video-streaming websites, and beauty e-commerce.

Along with the expansion of their business operation, the company name was changed from "Zhongding Film and Television" to "Zhongding Media" and more than ten subsidiary companies were established under it, involving practically all areas of the entertainment industry.

Then there's the change in the management style.

In the past the operating projects of each studio are managed by the company, now it is self-financing. Each producer is responsible for profits, input and output, and efficiency gains.

Finally, there were changes made in the executive level.

Feng Jun was promoted from assistant to the CEO to Executive President, focusing on film business and entertainment marketing. Wang Zhao is promoted to Deputy General Manager, focusing on project investment and theater construction.

Erlei was also promoted from a side assistant to Assistant of the Chairman, taking over Feng Jun's work in an all-around way. As the blind person said, acting as "matchmaker" will lead to a meteoric rise in career.

In addition to all this, the "corrupt faction" that has been protected by Wang Haizhi for a very long time we're also completely eradicated. More than ten main producers were affected just in the production group of 《Feng Mang》 alone,.

These producers died without knowing that t was Sloppy Han Dong who reported their greedy activities.

There was another major event that affected the will of the people aside from these internal reforms, and that is the acquisition of Feng Muzhi's company. It was merged with Artist Agent Department to create Zhongding Cultural Brokerage Company, and Feng Muzhi naturally became the head of the biggest brokerage company in the Mainland, controlling the life and death of hundreds of performing artist, her power evident to everyone.

Her return signifies Li Shang's return.

Not only did she come with fierce momentum, but she also returned with a more bloody state of mind and a more ambitious schemes.

During the period of unrest within the company, Feng Muzhi formulated a series plans for the "superstar project" for Li Shang, focusing mainly on facial transformation.

There's no need to take a lot of trouble on Li Shang's figure since no one can match it aside from Han Dong; however, his face can't be called superior amongst other celebrities. At first glance it seemed okay, but none of his photos are easy to carry to the top.

For this reason, Feng Muzhi especially invited a "magnate" in plastic surgery to implement a long-term plan for his face.

This project will take approximately three years to finish, and during this period Li Shang's face has to undergo six fine tunings. Not only must his appearance leap to a new level, but it's also important that non-professionals won't be able to tell that he went under the knife.

In fact, Han Dong discovered it right away when Li Shang had just gotten back to the company. At that time Li Shang just finished the first fine tuning.

Han Dong felt that the "country flavor" in Li Shang had lessened and his temperament flew up to several grades.

In addition, re-characterization is also an important part of the plan.

Feng Muzhi wanted Li Shang to leave Han Dong's shadow and to thoroughly abandon the idea of facing Han Dong "head-on".

In her opinion, Li Shang can't fight Han Dong in terms of aptitude and resources and the only way out is by taking an alternate route.

In this aspect, Feng Muzhi displayed her unique vision as an ace agent.

She didn't let Li Shang follow the gorgeous aristocratic route; rather, she wants him to position himself in the villain route. She feels that compared with positive characters like business elites, all-round idols and battlefield heroes, the villain big BOSS is more in line with his personality based on his history.

However, this didn't mean that Li Shang abandoned the idea of competing with Han Dong, after all, there's only this one "Brother" and the competition between them is eternal, only the method had changed, that's all.

This method is more vile that before.

For instance, Li Shang doesn't take this risky road himself and instead,p he instigates others to walk on this road in order to seize the market from Han Dong and break down the pressure on his side.

Thereupon, during this period of time, long legs are rampant within the company, curly hairs appeared everywhere, and pigtails flooded the place.

There's nothing to be done, who let this appearance make Chief Wang greet them with gentleness in his eyes!

Apart from the growing strength of the male artist team, the reserve force of the female artist is also quite strong.

Although two generals were lost, Feng Muzhi very quickly dug out Cao Feifei from the opponent brokerage company and filled in this gap. Furthermore, there are also many small flowers in the second-tier that have surged very strongly in recent years, and there are groups of teen idols who just graduated from art academies, breeding like flies in the company...

With so many beautiful and bright faces coming out, Han Dong truly is "Alexander*". How can spring come before his autumn is over?

(*I think this is referring to Alexander the Great who was rumored to have had many lovers before his death, though I'm not a 100% sure.)

Of course, the increase in artist signifies an increase in agents. Many artists took advantage of this situation to shift to behind the scene, and Yu Ming is one of them.

Han Dong did not expect Yu Ming will take the initiative to mix in like this as more people also became agents.

Moreover, Yu Ming, a long-time member of Appearance Association, will surely not find a handsome man to manage due to his special taste.

Facts proved that Han Dong was completely mistaken.

The person Yu Ming wants to sign was from Xia Family.

Xia Family! What kind of gene does Xia Family have?! How can he be willing to be a second lead?!!

Moreover, he is the most outstanding junior within Xia Family. He resembles the glorious profile of Han Dong's benefactor. The only difference is this person is mixed blood.

That's right, a f*cking mixed blood!

Born in year 1995, only 20 years old this year!

Fortunately Li Shang has the foresight to abandon this aristocratic route else there won't even be dregs for him to work with!

Son of nobility, unequal countenance, and in the prime of his life; Yu Ming still went to Wang Zhongding to take credit for this "achievement" .

At that time Wang Zhongding nodded without thinking. He also didn't forget to say: "You have grown this big?"

Han Dong cried in despair while thinking: Wang Zhongding must have felt his a$$ when he was a child......
