Entertainment Management Center Department

"Also, it's lunchtime.

As a rich guy like you, shouldn't you be treating me to a big meal?

After all, I'm just a working-class person!"

"..."

Old Meng, sitting up straight, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He chuckled and scolded, "You rascal, you're messing with me.

You scared me to death!"

"Relax, relax, we're family, I won't trick you," Old Chang said with a smile again. "Also, whatever you're thinking in your head, don't say it out loud. Not to anyone!"

"Alright," Old Meng nodded and got up. "Let's go. The cafeteria is just about to start serving.

I'll reluctantly use my privilege to take you there first!"

"...Cafeteria..."

Old Chang, torn between laughter and tears, went with Old Meng to the cafeteria for a meal.

On the way, the two were reminiscing about their glorious past, feeling melancholic.

It was just a shame about the timing; otherwise, they might have gone for a few drinks and not stopped until they were drunk.

This was because Old Chang left immediately after the meal.

And just as Old Chang knocked on the door of Wujiang Technology Co., Ltd., all the CEOs of major and medium-sized entertainment companies in the country, along with all the TV station directors and cinema chain managers, were sitting up straight in a conference room.

They had all received notifications and were summoned here by the new head of the Entertainment Management Center Department for a meeting.

"Everyone's here, so I'll begin."

Minister Chen, the new head of the Entertainment Management Center Department, sat on the stage. Seeing that everyone was present, he got straight to the point: "I've asked everyone to come today because there are some matters that need to be clearly explained to you face-to-face.

First: The Ban on Foreign Participation Order.

Effective immediately, all programs featuring foreign participants are strictly prohibited.

Second: The Ban on Feminine Presentation Order.

Effective immediately, we will reshape social norms.

All public figures, except for those whose feminization is due to psychological cognitive deviations, will be stopped. This includes any public figures who intentionally disguise themselves or are deliberately packaged by companies to appear feminine.

Otherwise, if even one is found, the entire chain of command, from top to bottom, will be held accountable.

Third: The Salary Limit Order.

Effective immediately, all public figures will undergo national-level certification based on comprehensive conditions such as moral quality and influence.

The salary cap will be related to this certification.

Anyone who intentionally uses other means, such as holding multiple professions or using dual contracts, to break through the salary cap.

If even one is found, the entire chain of command, from top to bottom, will be held accountable.

Fourth: The Blacklisting Order.

Any artist who violates the law or severely violates national ethics will be banned from participating in any public activities or programs.

Violators will be held accountable, from top to bottom.

Fifth: The Guidance of Public Opinion Order.

We will guide the public to actively participate in exercise and enhance their understanding and curiosity about the universe. Projects in these two categories will be supported.

Two bans, one limit, one blacklist, and one guidance – this is the theme of this meeting.

Now, if anything is unclear, you can ask."

Below, the heads of various TV stations, CEOs of entertainment companies, and cinema chain managers all wore bitter expressions after hearing Minister Chen's words.

With these five new regulations in place, everyone was losing money faster than a dog chasing its tail.

Some entertainment companies even specialized in feminine-themed products, making these bans equivalent to instant annihilation for them.

However, they had no choice but to comply obediently...

The so-called "from top to bottom" accountability meant that if you were clean, you were fine.

But if there was even a small issue, you would be dealt with severely.

As a result, one CEO of a medium-sized entertainment company, steeling his heart, raised his hand and asked, "Minister Chen, can you give us some time?

After all, some companies have invested a large amount of working capital in producing programs. If this is implemented immediately...

It's a small matter if we go bankrupt, but our employees will lose their jobs and their source of income to support their families!

This affects hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people!"

Minister Chen heard the CEO's words and silently made a note in his heart: This guy has ulterior motives!

What did he mean?

He was reminding other CEOs and managers of similar companies to use the number of people and social stability to delay or force the government to cancel the ban.

Therefore, Minister Chen's face immediately darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you asking for a few years to sort out your capital?"

"Shouldn't we just cancel it and let everyone carry on as usual?"

"Am I an unqualified minister, trying to create social panic?"

"Bang~"

Minister Chen slammed the table heavily and stood up, pointing at him and angrily yelling, "This is an order, not a negotiation!

An order you must immediately obey from the moment you step outside!

Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Seeing the furious Minister Chen, the CEO couldn't help but tremble, and meekly sat back down.

"Hmph," Minister Chen snorted and emphasized to them again, "This is an order!

An order that will not be negotiated, compromised, or conceded to!"

"..."

Under Minister Chen's scrutinizing gaze, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to harbor any ulterior motives.

Then, a station director raised his hand and cautiously asked, "Minister Chen, how will the public figure ranking be specifically arranged?"

"It will be a comprehensive evaluation based on scores, with both promotions and demotions.

The specific evaluation details will be sent to your company headquarters after you leave."

Pausing for a moment, Minister Chen continued, "The evaluation team will be randomly selected from the police, military, and procuratorate departments to form a temporary specialized evaluation team.

At the same time, the Entertainment Management Center Department will also launch a directly affiliated online voting website.

It's best if you clean up your own morally corrupt and illegal individuals.

Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if you get purged!"

"..."

As soon as Minister Chen finished speaking, everyone shivered in unison again.

This is a bit too much...

The evaluation team for public figure rankings is actually composed of personnel drawn from the three departments.

There's no way to bribe them!

They don't even share the same interests as them.

Not to mention it's a random selection; who knows how they'll pick, or who they'll pick!

Are they supposed to bribe everyone in the three departments?

With that money, why would they even bother running entertainment companies? Wouldn't it be better to buy land somewhere and become a chieftain?

The Blacklisting Order is the same.

They thought the so-called Blacklisting Order only targeted those who were exposed.

They didn't expect it to be combined with the public figure ranking system.

A double review, no, a triple review: the ranking evaluation, public supervision, and the supervision from them, the heads. With these three combined, there's no hope.

In this industry, how many people can swear on heaven, earth, and their ancestors that they are completely clean?

Not to mention Minister Chen's last sentence.

He was already reminding them not to wait for them to take action.

Some of these people, you deal with them yourselves!

If you don't clean them up, we'll deal with you!

After all, if even one person is found to have problems, it will lead to a top-down purge!

Fortunately, Minister Chen left a way out. Past actions, as long as they are not illegal, can be overlooked.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have many cats or dogs left at home.

It seems like the entertainment industry at home is about to face a cataclysm.

In the future, everyone can only honestly promote truly positive public figures.

Anyone who uses the current ones to scam people's intelligence is digging their own grave!

Minister Chen waited for a while, and seeing that no one had any more questions, he asked, "Are there any further questions regarding these orders?"

"No."

"Good," Minister Chen nodded and finally instructed, "I do not want to see any of you involved in discussions outside.

I also do not want anyone to say what I have said.

That will make me very unhappy!

And if I am unhappy, I will have to make you all happy!

Do you understand?"

"Understood." XN

Everyone replied weakly.

At the same time, they deeply missed the previous head of the Entertainment Management Center Department.

They wondered if he was doing okay after going in.

Everyone missed him!

This current department head was just too difficult to get along with!
