Chapter 1960 Variety Show

First impressions are very important between people.

For example, if Liu Yan left a bad first impression on Zhao Fusheng, then no matter what Liu Yiming said later or how Liu Yan behaved, with preconceived notions, Zhao Fusheng would definitely have some reservations.

But conversely,

Liu Yan left a good impression on Zhao Fusheng, making him feel she was a kind-hearted, warm, and generous good girl.

Then this matter developed in a different direction.

"Your sister is a talent."

Zhao Fusheng said to Liu Yiming as he got into the car.

Liu Yiming still had a simple smile: "Don't mind her, she's just like that, outspoken."

"Being outspoken is a good habit."

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand with a smile: "Quite cute."

Being praised like this by him, Liu Yan's impression in his heart was naturally very good.

"It's a pity she studied broadcasting and hosting; otherwise, her personality would be more suitable than mine for secretarial work," Liu Yiming also remarked with emotion.

"So, you still need to study."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said lightly.

Many people think the college entrance exam is bad, that a single exam determines a person's life and class.

Thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Pass it, and the world changes; fail it, and you continue struggling in fate.

So, many advocate for quality education, advocating for the abolition of exam-oriented education and no more exams.

But what's the reality?

Class, in the visible history and ongoing history, always exists.

Since the beginning of slave society, class has been something people have wanted to eliminate but found helpless against.

People are different.

When we were young, we might not understand.

But after growing up, we realize that not all roads lead to Rome; some people's homes are in Rome, and some people's homes are Rome.

The theory that reading is useless is rampant among more and more self-media and experts, and they are trying to make the public believe it's for the children's good.

What are books?

Books are the crystallization of wisdom; the wisdom and experience accumulated by predecessors are all in books.

Reading is a shortcut to accumulating knowledge and ability, after all, what you see are the experiences and lessons summarized by predecessors. But many people prefer to trust themselves, believing that with their own intelligence, they can surpass the accumulation of thousands of years of humanity.

So, reading or not reading doesn't really matter.

Heh.

What is the purpose of reading?

Reading is to learn skills, whether in science, math, or liberal arts, that's its role. Moreover, the purpose of reading is to change one's thinking pattern and logical ability.

In Zhao Fusheng's view, this is actually the same as effort.

Reading doesn't guarantee success, but it increases the probability of success. Just like effort doesn't guarantee success, but if you work hard, at least you have a chance to succeed—it's the same logic.

Some people in modern society are very interesting.

They don't care about the fact that most successful people have read books; they only like to take those who haven't read much as models of success.

In their dictionary, there is no such thing as survivor bias.

For instance, in the entertainment industry, many people think it doesn't matter whether stars are cultured.

But in fact, when you see those stars lacking even the most basic common sense, how does it feel as an audience?

An actor who claims to be a PhD in performance but doesn't even know about CNKI—isn't that ridiculous?

But oddly, this happens in our entertainment industry.

It's better to read some books, more or less.

...

...

"Chairman, hello."

"Hello, Chairman."

As Zhao Fusheng and Liu Yiming walked into Future Film, some middle-level managers who knew him quickly came over to greet him.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded to them, then entered the elevator.

"President Ye doesn't know yet."

Liu Yiming suddenly remembered that he and Zhao Fusheng had come directly after lunch; Ye Jing probably hadn't gotten the news.

"Let's go to the office first."

Zhao Fusheng also thought of this issue and said casually.

The group soon arrived at Ye Jing's office.

As expected, Ye Jing wasn't there.

"Maybe we should go back first?"

Liu Yiming hesitated and said to Zhao Fusheng.

But Zhao Fusheng waved his hand: "Let's find a place to sit for a while."

Soon, less than twenty minutes later, Ye Jing hurried over.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Jing asked Zhao Fusheng with a strange look.

"I was eating nearby and came by for a visit."

Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.

They had just met that morning, so it was no wonder Ye Jing found it odd that he showed up here.

"Alright, if you're bored, I'll chat with you for a while."

Ye Jing said to Zhao Fusheng.

"That's just what I wanted." Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.

He asked the secretary to make tea for them, and Zhao Fusheng and Ye Jing sat down in his office.

"You scared everyone in the company a few days ago."

Ye Jing said helplessly.

A while back, Zhao Fusheng was in a bad state and didn't even go to the company, which really scared everyone.

"It's nothing serious."

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand: "By the way, have you met Liu Yiming's sister?"

"No."

Ye Jing was startled, a bit puzzled: "I remember I assigned this matter to the vice president."

He was the general manager of Future Film; a newly signed artist didn't qualify for a personal meeting with him.

This was a gap in status that no one could change.

Many people always talk about equality, even boasting about foreign countries as holy lands of democracy, but in fact, true equality has never existed.

Especially abroad, it's even more so.

Foreigners love to play double standards; they say everything is freedom of speech, but when you touch their interests, speech is restricted.

In short, the so-called freedom in foreigners' eyes is like toilet paper.

Take it out when you need to wipe your ass.

After use, it's thrown away.

"What, do you want to see her?"

Ye Jing asked Zhao Fusheng curiously.

Logically, Zhao Fusheng shouldn't be interested in women.

He wasn't the type to stop in his tracks at the sight of a beautiful woman, even though Liu Yan was indeed quite pretty.

After all, she was about to join the company as an artist; Ye Jing had seen Liu Yan's profile.

He was definitely impressed by her figure.

"No need, I've already met her."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and recounted the lunch incident: "That girl thought I was Yiming's colleague and kept asking me to take care of him."

"Really?"

Ye Jing asked in surprise: "Didn't Liu Yiming tell her he's your secretary now?"

"How could that guy say that? He just said he works in the secretarial department and happened to hear the company needed a host, so he recommended his sister."

Zhao Fusheng said with a smile: "He may not be as capable as Wu Sijie, but he's very thoughtful."

That was true.

Ye Jing also agreed with that.

Liu Yiming might not be the most outstanding in ability, but he was meticulous and very suitable for secretarial work.

"If there's a chance, take care of that girl."

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and said to Ye Jing: "The company does need to start getting involved in hosting."

"Hmm?"

Ye Jing was a bit surprised: "What do you want to do?"

Obviously, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't bring this up for no reason; there must be a reason.

Given Zhao Fusheng's personality, if he wasn't planning a project, he wouldn't single out a newcomer and ask him to take care of her.

"What do you think about us starting to produce variety shows?"

Zhao Fusheng said slowly to Ye Jing.

Variety?

Ye Jing frowned: "Like the talent shows on Mango TV?"

Obviously, in his impression, talking about variety shows meant talent shows.

After all, in recent years, various local TV stations across China have been doing talent shows.

Even CCTV launched a show called "Avenue of Stars."

In short, it's all talent shows.

Only, one focuses on grassroots people, while the other selects handsome men and beautiful women.

But the problem is, this doesn't seem to fit Future Film's business.

Thinking this, Ye Jing said to Zhao Fusheng: "I think it's better to consider this matter carefully."

"Consider?"

Zhao Fusheng shook his head: "No need to consider; this is the general trend."

No one knew better than him what direction variety shows would take in the future.

For Future Film to remain invincible in future competition, the best way was to prepare in advance and be a pioneer.

Although the first person to eat crab may not succeed, the earlier they started, with the strong financial support of the Future Group, Zhao Fusheng believed the probability of success would be higher.

Of course, this matter still required Ye Jing's agreement, as he was the executor.

All he could provide was a general direction.

General trend?

Sure enough, Ye Jing frowned and looked at Zhao Fusheng, obviously not fully agreeing with this statement.
