You big liar, have you forgotten something?

Chung Li-fang.

Whether it's the real-life Chinese entertainment industry or the various Chinese entertainment novels on Dianping, if all of these were condensed into a single novel...

This name appears more frequently in this Chinese entertainment novel than many of the supporting main characters.

She is one of the core supporting characters.

It's often said that the entertainment industry is dominated by women, and this is even more evident among the visible power holders and executives in many companies.

For example, Li Xiaoping of Enlight Media, Zhong Lifang of Pegasus Media, Chen Zhixi of Wanda Pictures, Cai Yinong of Sugar & Spice, Jiang Xuerou of Zhouyi, and later, General Manager Du of Yuehua and Xiang Tai of the Hong Kong region...

Their development has followed the tides of the times; some have fallen behind, while others have risen up, but all are women not to be underestimated.

Although the so-called female boxing in the later stages was a bit obsessive, the women who rose to prominence at this time were not the kind of fairy who only talked big and fought; they were all ruthless characters to varying degrees!

Zhong Lifang is a perfect and suitable general manager who serves as both a tool and a tool.

She originally joined Xiaoma Benteng in 2003, becoming its operations director and deputy general manager, and has remained one of Xiaoma Benteng's core figures ever since.

However, the development of Xiaoma Benteng limited her, after all, she was an outsider, and after Big Dog Brother's death, not many people inside supported her.

He Yi'an was surprised that his mother had brought her along. "An'an, this is Zhong Lifang." Xu Wan stood up and introduced her to him. "I met her when I was studying company management. I thought she was very capable back then. Later, when we started our company, I always wanted to recruit her."

"I told you that before!" (Chapter 58)

After saying that, she pointed to He Yi'an and introduced him to Zhong Lifang, saying, "Lifang, this is my son. You can call him Xiao He or Xiao An, it's fine!"

"Sister Xu, you're being too kind by calling me that. I wouldn't dare," Zhong Lifang said with a smile as she stepped forward and respectfully extended her hand. "Director He, I've heard so much about you."

He Yi'an grasped her hand and smiled, "Sister Zhong, since Mom has said so, you should agree to her request. Don't call me Director He, it's too formal. Just call me Xiao An."

"That won't do," Zhong Lifang, a seasoned veteran, knew all too well the ways of the world. "You're now the best director in Venice, and the owner of Langyuan. I'd call you Director He, that's practically..."

"Alright, alright, stop being so polite." Xu Wan waved her hand, grabbed Zhong Lifang's wrist, and led her to the sofa. "Sit down and let's talk."

The three sat down, and Xu Wan continued, "Lifang had been hesitant because Big Dog from Xiao Ma's side had been trying to poach her."

"Big Dog Bro?" He Yi'an wasn't surprised, but he still raised an eyebrow. "Li Ming?"

"Yes, Director He." Zhong Lifang took the initiative to speak and explained, "Brother Da Gou wants me to go to Xiao Ma Ben Teng, and the conditions he offered are not bad, but I haven't made up my mind yet."

"So how did the decision come about?" This was indeed the part He Yi'an was most curious about.

He hadn't expected his butterfly effect to actually begin to take hold. Zhong Lifang looked at him, a hint of admiration in her eyes: "Sister Xu told me a lot about Langyuan's plans and development strategies, but of course, the most important thing is because of you."

"Because of me?"

"Yes," Zhong Lifang said without hesitation, explaining her reasons for making the judgment.

"Sister Xu said that Langyuan will develop in all aspects of the cultural and entertainment industry in the future, but all the companies are just starting out now and can only walk on one leg. After all, the strategy above has only just changed. The fact that Langyuan can achieve this shows that your planning is far-sighted."

"The first thing most companies can do is probably the TV drama industry, but the film industry is not so easy."

"But Langyuan is different. I thought, someone who can win the Best Director award at Venice at the age of 18 has unlimited potential. Working for someone like you will definitely be more promising."

He Yi'an never expected that the trophy he had secured through public relations would have this effect.

But then I thought about it again, and that's the power of fame.

Fame and fortune!

In this world of fame and fortune, once you have fame, fortune will naturally come knocking.

This applies not only to the entertainment industry, but also to various groups.

Names are incredibly important. Take, for example, all of America's research and engineering projects. Many of these projects involve Chinese people, even those who were the main contributors. But have you ever seen them use Chinese names?

Over the years, has there been a single Chinese family that has truly been able to thrive in Greater China?

They can give you profits, because they can easily exploit you if they want to, but don't even think about getting your fame.

This is the fundamental reason why, even now, most ordinary people, including those in the Western world, do not believe that Chinese people have made any contribution to the world.

This is what they've been promoting: even if it's something done by a Chinese person, the ones who ultimately receive the award and the credit will definitely be other members of the team.

It has always been this way.

Names and tools should not be lent to others!

Our ancestors told us this long ago!

"So it was me who influenced your decision. Looks like I'm quite important, huh?"

Since Zhong Lifang didn't hide anything, He Yi'an's attitude became more casual, and the conversation between the group became much more relaxed.

"Director He is too modest. Sister Xu told me about the company's plans, and I think that the arrangements and designs you made are already very promising. If it weren't for Sister Xu constantly recruiting me, I wouldn't have dared to submit my resume on my own."

The conversation became increasingly relaxed, and Zhong Lifang jokingly remarked about herself. Hearing this, Xu Wan chimed in, saying, "Lifang, you don't need to say that. Your willingness to come is a favor to me."

"It's Sister Xu who thinks highly of me and gives me face," Zhong Lifang said earnestly. "I'm not lying; I genuinely believe the company has a bright future."

He Yi'an looked at her, feeling a mix of emotions.

These are the people who can truly rise to prominence; they can succeed no matter what environment they're in!

In the original timeline, Zhong Lifang went to Xiaoma Benteng and became Li Ming's right-hand woman.

Later, when Xiao Ma went bankrupt, she started her own business and succeeded.

Now, because of his appearance, Zhong Lifang has come to Langyuan.

And she is indeed the kind of talent that Langyuan needs!

Thinking of this, He Yi'an directly stated, "Sister Zhong, welcome to Langyuan."

Zhong Lifang felt recognized by He Yi'an: "Thank you, Director He."

"My mom just said that from now on, since we're all working together in the same company, don't call me Director He anymore," He Yi'an waved his hand, "Just call me Xiao An."

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiao An in private, but we should be more formal in public." Zhong Lifang didn't stand on ceremony. Xu Wan, watching from the side, also noticed He Yi'an's attitude.

She knew her son's personality all too well; if he couldn't accept someone, it would be a struggle to even say a few words to them.

He Yi'an nodded and gave a brief introduction to the company's projects.

"Full House", "Chinese Paladin" (currently in preparation) and "A Separation".

Upon hearing that Gong Li and Zhang Yimou were the leads, Zhong Lifang was still stunned, even though she had been prepared.

I never expected to find out about such an amazing project as soon as I arrived.

At the same time, I became even more convinced that I had made the right choice.

However, after He Yi'an mentioned "The Twilight of the Three Kingdoms," a project that had just been approved and was still in the scriptwriting stage, Zhong Lifang listened even more attentively and even took out her notebook to jot down some notes.

After He Yi'an finished speaking, a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.

"Director He, it turns out the company is much bigger than I imagined."

What do you call this? This is called a promising future, full of potential! And it's a big production right off the bat. "It's alright, but the company is short-staffed. With Sister Chung here, things will definitely be much easier for us to move forward."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu and Director He, for thinking so highly of me. I..."

Zhong Lifang seemed to want to say something to express her gratitude, but she was at a loss for words.

He Yi'an wasn't the type to flatter or fawn; he preferred people who got things done. "Sister Zhong, now that we're on the same side, the company needs you to follow up and push forward some of the projects."

Zhong Lifang put down her pen and looked at him earnestly: "Director He, please speak."

"First, you will be in charge of overseeing the 'Three Kingdoms' project. From the script to preparation, from location scouting to set construction, from actors to budget, you will be fully responsible."

Zhong Lifang nodded: "No problem."

"Secondly, you'll be responsible for coordinating the company's daily operations. Zhang Jing will handle production and artist management, while Liu Guonan and Ma Ming will be responsible for directing and filming. You'll be in charge of connecting them."

"clear."

"Third," He Yi paused, "I need you to keep an eye on things in Hollywood for me."

Chung Lai-fang was taken aback: "Hollywood?"

She hadn't expected Langyuan to have connections in Hollywood. After all, this was her future company partner, so He Yi'an didn't hide anything and simply explained the details of "Paranormal Activity" and "Kung Fu Panda".

Zhong Lifang's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Director He, you're about to do something big."

"That's why I need someone as capable as you to help me, Sister Zhong. You've only just arrived and you're already giving me so many tasks, is that alright?"

Zhong Lifang felt herself entering a state of heightened excitement: "No problem. I'm here to get things done."

"Then it's settled."

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Xu Wan stood up and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. Lifang, let me show you around the company."

"it is good."

The two walked out of the office, and He Yi'an sat down again, looking at the documents on the table. Suddenly, he felt much more relaxed.

With the right person in place, he can be freed from those trivial official duties.

Lying lazily in the boss's chair, He Yi'an felt a sudden relief from the pressure. Just as he was about to take a nap, his phone suddenly vibrated.

A moment later, the screen lit up with a text message from a familiar name: "You big liar, have you forgotten something?"
