"It’s all in pursuit of results," Yin Qin stated bluntly.
The statent left the reporter at a loss for words.
Yin Qin didn’t seem to mind, he continued, "As the new leader, I need to make significant changes. What’s the point of taking charge if I can’t improve the developnt of the Milky Way? It’s indeed for the results. As for your accusation of intentionally using ’Hall of Heaven’ as a scapegoat, it’s a misunderstanding. I’m not targeting any specific show. I just want all areas of the Milky Way dia Limited Company to undergo significant improvents. It’s not about a particular program, it’s just a matter of timing."
"But why would Chairman Yin specifically pick ’Hall of Heaven’ amongst all the sectors of the Milky Way?" The reporter insisted on a resolution.
"I have explained it before, it’s due to my dissatisfaction with it," Yin Qin replied.
"Is your dissatisfaction directed only at this program because Director Wei used to be in charge of it? There are rumors that Chairman Yin and Director Wei have always been at odds. Is your target directed at him too?" The reporter interrogated.
Yin Qin laughed and clarified, "I don’t target anyone. Wei Cheng and I are cousins. The Milky Way is an enterprise of our Yin Family, and it is our duty to work together and develop it further. We have a good relationship. If there are any conflicts, they are rely disagreents about work."
"But we’ve heard that Director Wei looks down on you," the reporter fired back, "He says you’re unlearned and incompetent."
"With so many gossip news out there, can you guarantee that they are all correct?" Yin Qin countered.
The reporter was taken aback.
"If you want to hear about my relationship with Wei Cheng from , it’s what I just said. Otherwise, write however you like. Yanshang Country has freedom of speech, and I have no right to interfere with your freedom."
Since when did Yin Qin beco so articulate?
Without causing offense, he managed to answer this seemingly extre question perfectly.
Seeing the reporter at a loss for words, Yin Qin continued, "If I must say why I chose ’Hall of Heaven’, it’s rely because I was involved in the entire process of this program. It’s easier for to handle and gradually familiarize myself with all sectors of the Milky Way. That’s my goal."
"Could Chairman Yin disclose how to make improvents to ’Hall of Heaven’ and what aspects of it you are displeased with?" The reporter finally got back to the point.
"The ratings are unsatisfactory," Yin Qin replied.
"A 0.5 rating is not bad."
"As you said, it’s not bad, but it’s not good either. The Milky Way can’t accept this descriptor."
"So, what is Chairman Yin’s expectation?"
"2," Yin Qin held up two fingers.
The crowd went into an uproar.
One reporter cried out, "Isn’t Chairman Yin being too naive?"
"Yes," Yin Qin conceded.
The reporter frowned.
He was genuinely confused by Yin Qin.
He felt this man seed a bit arrogant and immature, but sohow different from the extravagant heirs of wealthy families. He had a strange feeling of both questioning and yet having to admire him.
"But life is a process of challenges. If I don’t set a demanding goal for myself, I’m afraid my passion won’t be enough."
"Is Chairman Yin challenging himself?"
"Yes, I’m challenging this industry. I believe in Yanshang Country’s variety entertainnt industry, we can create another trend!" Yin Qin leaned on his desk, told the reporters, "Otherwise, how can you guarantee your jobs?"
The audience consisted of entertainnt gossip reporters. If the entertainnt industry in Yanshang Country didn’t develop, these people would indeed struggle to make ends et.
Yin Qin’s words moved the reporters.
A reporter, not belonging to the Milky Way, couldn’t resist exclaiming, "Chairman Yin, we’ll rely on you for our livelihood."
"Who cares about just making ends et, what we want is to get rich," Yin Qin joked.
The atmosphere on the spot beca incredibly amiable.
In the end,
After so banter, Yin Qin spoke seriously, "Once again, in front of all our viewers, I must apologize for the two-episode suspension of ’Hall of Heaven’. I hope our viewers can be patient and give two weeks. I will present you with a completely new, sincere, and moving program. Thank you!"
Having said that,
He bowed deeply.
For at least ten seconds.
Only then did Yin Qin straighten up.
He rarely wore formal clothes, but today he was dressed ticulously.
His hair was grood neatly; there wasn’t a single rebellious strand, every hair was in place.
He wore a black suit with a dark navy diagonal striped tie—underscoring his humility.
The mature and steady appearance combined with his handso face didn’t make him look dull or rigid, but energetic and vibrant instead.
After the bow,
Yin Qin nodded politely towards all the reporters and then turned to leave.
The sight of his departing figure left the reporters dumbfounded.
Was this the sa man known for his reckless behavior and lack of proper conduct?
The most terrifying thing in the world is a reford profligate...because they turn into gold!
No one, male or female, could refuse.
Yin Qin returned to his office.
The mont he sat down, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Addressing work with such seriousness and changing his usual approach indeed made him a little nervous.
Wu ili, who had been following him, had never seen such a tense texture on her boss before. In her mory, he seed not to care about anything.
It seems that concern for performance only arises when he truly takes work seriously.
"Can you get a cup of coffee, please?"
"Black coffee with no sugar?"
"Yes."
"Certainly." His secretary walked out.
Yin Qin loosened his tie slightly, allowing himself to relax a little, then switched on his computer to continue working.
"Just the files regarding "Hall of Heaven".
Outside the door, the secretary’s voice suddenly rang out, "You can’t co in, there’s no appointnt, please stay right there, or I’ll call security..."
Apparently, it had no effect whatsoever.
The door was forcibly pushed open.
Yin Qin saw the two n in front of him.
He, of course, recognized them, the CEO of Brilliance Film and Television Company, Ying Chang’an, and Wei Guoguang, the director of the "Heaven’s Hall" TV series.
There seed to be two assistants waiting outside the door, but due to their lower status they also wisely opted not to enter.
Wu ili looked at Yin Qin anxiously.
Yin Qin gave her a look.
Wu ili left and closed the door for them.
"Sit." Yin Qin maintained his impeccable manners.
Ying Chang’an had a cold expression on his face. He sat down opposite Yin Qin with a touch of anger, Wei Guoguang took a seat next to Ying Chang’an.
"Is this about the "Heaven’s Hall" program?"
"We run this program in a partnership with you. What gives you the authority to suspend the program unilaterally? We are about to start filming, what you’re doing is costing us precious ti! Do you know how big the losses are for us?!" Ying Chang’an’s face looked terrible, his voice barely concealing his rage.
"Delaying for two weeks to give you the best actors, saving your future filming ti isn’t a waste!"
"Just because you say so?! " Ying Chang’an ridiculed, "Do you know how much money I would lose if we started filming but didn’t shoot anything?"
"How much?" asked Yin Qin.
"Delaying for two weeks, at least one million!"
"I’ll pay." Yin Qin said bluntly.
Ying Chang’an was taken aback.
"Any other issues?"
"We’ve already scheduled the broadcast ti. You’ve delayed our filming schedule and now we can’t air on ti. We’ve signed contracts with the online platforms and satellites, we’ll owe them a significant amount in breach penalties."
"I’ll pay." Yin Qin responded, punctuating each word.
"But all our promotional efforts have already been invested in, which directly impacts our reputation, can you compensate for that?" Ying Chang’an said harshly, driven to frustration by Yin Qin’s flaunting his wealth!
Yin Qin responded, "You’ve done so many promotions before, and yet the TV series that deserved to fall flat still fell flat."
"Yin Qin!" Ying Chang’an was almost 50 years old, about the sa age as Yin Bin, and he almost jumped out of his chair from Yin Qin’s comnt, "What is Yin Bin thinking, entrusting the entire Milky Way to you!"
"My dad is very astute, there’s no need for you to question that." Yin Qin said indifferently, his face calm and relaxed, "Returning to the point at hand, apart from what you just ntioned, is there anything else you want to address?"
"I’m not joking with you!"
"Nor am I," said Yin Qin seriously, "My point is, once you’re done, I have sothing even more important to discuss with you. You’ve saved a trip since you ca to . I was planning to visit you anyway."
"What do you need?" Ying Chang’an asked, frowning slightly, on his guard.
"The "Heaven’s Hall" program is a casting show, but through my understanding from being involved in the show for so long, the lead and supporting actors and actresses have essentially been predetermined. Basically, it’s not a casting show, but just a promotional stunt."
"Is there a problem with that?"
"Of course there is a problem. You’re doing promotional work but we’re making a show. Our show can promote for you but it’s not just for your promotion, I hope you understand that, Ying Chang’an. The reason why I’m saying this is to make it clear to you that the final leads and supporting actors chosen by our show may very well not be the ones that you’ve pre-selected!"
"No way!" Ying Chang’an exploded.
He was already driven crazy by the prospect of a two-week delay. Now they wanted to change his rules!
He suddenly stood up from his seat, "Do you realize you’re breaching the contract? If you dare to do this, I’ll sue you and you’ll have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract."
"Do you think I cannot afford it? Moreover, do you dare?" Yin Qin replied calmly.
"You!"
"After filing a lawsuit against , I can simply pay you thirty to fifty million in compensation. Do you think that would burden the Milky Way?! But have you ever considered the consequences once you sue? You would be admitting to the whole country that you’re running a sham. Your so-called casting contest is nothing but a performance to deceive the audience. How would people view Brilliance Films and Television after that? And how would they continue to watch your so-called "Heaven’s Hall" TV series!"
"Yin Qin, you-!" Ying Chang’an was so angry his body was trembling.
He’d never expected to be pushed to this point by a youngster.
Hadn’t the rumors said that Yin Qin was useless?
His problem-solving attitude, his articulation, where exactly was he useless?!
He could even leave him speechless with one pointed comnt!
The fierce montum Ying Chang’an had upon entering the room had notably lessened.
He sat back down on the chair in defeat. His whole person looked sowhat deflated.
He glared at Yin Qin.
His company was currently struggling. The recent big-budget productions they had invested in had resulted in significant losses. Now they finally had a decent script, but they couldn’t afford to hire A-list stars anymore. They had to choose so up-and-coming newcors who didn’t have much of a following yet. As such, they had planned to rely on this thod for promoting the show, hoping that this TV series could show so positive results. But now, at this crucial juncture, they faced another major setback!
He was both furious and aggrieved.
Yet at this mont, he couldn’t vent his anger.
So, the space was sowhat stiff.
Yin Qin was also very "understanding" in giving him ti to digest this.
He sighed, "Mr Yin, since it has co to this, I won’t hide anything from you."
"It’s okay, go ahead," Yin Qin played the sympathetic role.
"I wouldn’t have predetermined anything either and I would wish to choose based on talent. It would be a good thing for our TV series. Who doesn’t want their TV series to be stronger? But as you know the current situation of my company, Brilliance, we don’t have any spare capital to invest. We also have no other producers injecting capital. Those actors co with their own capital to join the group, and we already signed contracts with them. If you don’t choose them in the end, leaving aside the penalty fee, this TV series would indeed be over!" said Ying Chang’an.
For the first ti, he was begging soone half his age, in such a low manner.
Yin Qin had actually guessed as much.
Given the current state of Brilliance, obtaining outside investing would indeed be rather difficult, and it would also indeed be risky to make any adventurous moves.
"I forgot to say the last sentence." Yin Qin hooked the corner of his mouth, "I’ll finance it!"
Ying Chang’an’s eyes bulged like copper bells!
