Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star
chapter-248-30041322

“Back then, I assigned this task to you four only to test your ability. Although ‘Vet’s Cuties’ is very popular on the internet, through our professional perspective, it does have many flaws. After all, you found a group of amateur college students who don’t know anything about documentaries. The content you film can only be put on the internet to entertain yourself, and it cannot ever be in the mainstream.”

The smile on Ye Ziliang’s face gradually disappeared as the boss talked. He stared at the latter and said, “If you have anything to say, it’s okay to be straightforward with it.”

“You are smart, so I will cut the euphemisms. The division head means that he will be the main director for the next ten episodes of ‘Vet’s Cuties’, and Guo Nan will assist him as the deputy director by his side.”

“Then what about me?”

“We have other work arranged for you. We can talk about that later.”

The division head was a known documentary director before and was even a documentary producer. He was highly experienced and had many social connections. Ye Ziliang could understand why he would be the main director, and Ye Ziliang was willing to step back. After all, he was only an assistant producer and was the division head’s subordinate’s subordinate’s subordinate. He had no word in this.

But why did Guo Nan, who had the same ranking as he did, get to be the deputy director? Just because he had a strong backer?

From the boss’s expression, he did mean it like that.

Ye Ziliang felt infuriated and unfairly treated, “‘Vet’s Cuties’ is my creation, so I should be the deputy director. Guo Nan should continue his ‘Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City’!”

The boss looked at him with a disagreeing expression, as if he was staring at an ignorant youngster, “You are an employee of the National TV Documentary Division. Your ideas and your scripts have also been created during this period. They belong to the national TV department according to common sense and the laws. We reserve the rights to adjust and distribute the tasks according to our work plan, and you are obliged to obey our arrangements and the requirements.”

“Your supposed task distribution has never thought about my feelings!” Ye Ziliang could no longer suppress his anger and forgot about the respectfulness he should pay as a subordinate.

How could the boss have tolerate being rebutted by a neophyte? His face instantly cooled down, “How have we never thought about your feelings? We’ve already made you an official employee!”

At this moment, Ye Ziliang finally realized that the supposed “officialize” was only a pity gift from the TV station. He should feel grateful and appreciative, and he should give his heart and blood, his creation, to the others for honor.

“So the next ten episodes of ‘Vet’s Cuties’ no longer have anything to do with me or the other people who participated in the filmmaking?” Ye Ziliang, holding back his anger, asked.

The boss was also holding back his temper. No wonder the division head told him to talk to Ye Ziliang about this in private to give Ye Ziliang some mental preparation. If the division head had announced this in the meeting just now, Ye Ziliang would’ve turned the entire conference into a chaos. Youngsters nowadays do not know when to step back.

“Didn’t I say it just now? The division head has decided to use the strongest and most professional team in the department to film ‘Vet’s Cuties’. The group of college students and those messed-up cyber stars you found definitely will not have the qualifications to participate in this. We will also not be choosing those small, private pet clinics to film at. They are too narrow to fit the mainstream! The division head has already contacted the owner of the largest chain pet hospitals organization in the capital, and we will send people to investigate their places tomorrow. As for you, we’ve thought about this discretely, and we will, at the end of each documentary, note you as the original author.”

Everyone had been working so hard for one month, but in the end, their names didn’t even get noted.

How could he be happy with this result?

He wanted to complain even more for the others.

Ye Ziliang was so angry he started laughing, “Has the division head or Guo Nan keep a pet before?”

This question stunned the boss. How could he have known whether the two of them had kept a pet before?

At this moment, Ye Ziliang had already calmed down. He looked at the boss, and there was not even a hint of respect left in his eyes, “I’ve already said at the end of ‘Vet’s Cuties’ about my inspiration for this documentary. I have two pets, and I’m friends with the Vet Yu in the film. We are a group of people who really love animals, which is why we succeeded in filming a documentary that could make every viewer smile tacitly or feel connected to. People who had not paid similar feelings to animals cannot possibly film the same effects no matter how expensive the equipments they use are, how professional the staff they have are, or how high-tiered the pet hospitals they film at are.”

The boss did not get shocked by Ye Ziliang’s words. He felt Ye Ziliang was talking nonsense. Only useless people would mention “compassion” and “feelings” nowadays. These two words were prevalent everywhere; they were cheap and low-tiered.

Sure, Ye Ziliang had Ye Zian as his brother, but everyone already knew very clearly about Ye Zian. He was fighting alone in the entertainment circle without any backer.

Guo Nan, however, was different.

Initially, the job, Assistant Producer, was customized only for Guo Nan. They’ve already been very generous by employing Ye Ziliang after Ye Ziliang’s unexpected situation.

Probably even the owner of the national TV station did not dare to offend Guo Nan, not to mention their entire documentary division.

Although Ye Ziliang and Guo Nan were on the same starting line at this moment, in the future, Guo Nan’s career development would definitely be better than Ye Ziliang’s. Guo Nan would probably get promoted in about three months.

Everyone had the same treatment over the years, they saw this exact scenario happen to others way too many times. Of course, it’s normal to be a prideful talented youngster, but when you have to coward back, you need to.

Ye Ziliang has talent, especially being a famou director’s brother. He would eventually get famous anyways.

Does Ye Ziliang no know about these social norms?

“We don’t care how well ‘Vet’s Cuties’ did, I’m just asking you right now, do you accept and obey this new schedule?” The leader didn’t want to waste more time.

Ye Ziliang didn’t want to obey, because he said immediately, “I don’t accept this and will not obey this.”

Hearing the harsh denial, the leader froze for a second, he almost thought that he should clap for Ye Ziliang’s bravery.

But at the same time, the leader was furious. Ye Ziliang’s tone and expression didn’t show any respect for his higher up, and even showed a hint of disdain.

“It’s alright if you don’t obey, this has already been accepted by the minister, I called you here only to notify you.”

But Ye Ziliang said back, “When I filmed ‘Vet’s Cuties’, I was only an intern and did not sign a legal contract with the company yet. This show is rightfully mine.”

The leader said coldly, “Yet you signed the contract this morning, so starting from today, you are a member of the company.”

“Oh,” Ye Ziliang didn’t care, “sure, then I quit right now.”

The leader thought he heared wrong and stared blankly at Ye Ziliang.

Ye Ziliang repeated with paitence, “I’m quitting.”

His voice was bold and loud!

The leader was truly perplexed.
