Hu Yuan woke up and inexplicably found himself in someone else's body. Not only that, but this man, who shared his name, also had a wife and a cute daughter. Hu Yuan frowned. Since he was here,...
In fact, Li Jie has a very keen sense of the market. He knows that if he follows Hu Yuan's approach, he might be able to gain more benefits.
But doing that would basically be tantamount to admitting defeat.
Moreover, following others' lead will never result in greater profits than what they gain.
So he chose to go his own way.
Soon, Li Jie turned the tide by sheer volume. In less than six months, the two stars under his management produced three more TV series of the same genre.
Moreover, the two quickly developed feelings for each other and announced that they were dating.
This was undoubtedly a great thing for Li Jie, as it directly brought his original plan forward.
However, he overlooked one point: although the stars cultivated by Hu Yuan only remained active for a short period before fading into obscurity, the game itself became a massive hit.
Furthermore, the actors, as game spokespeople, appear in the daily view of game users.
Hu Yuan even designed a new game character for this actor at this time.
The difference between the two lies in the fact that Li Jie focuses on creating idols themselves, while Hu Yuan focuses on creating characters.
Idols may eventually fade, but characters never go out of style.
At the same time, Hu Yuan also launched his original plan to open a chain of internet cafes.
The best gaming equipment in China, beta versions of the most popular games, and gift packs given after reaching a certain level of level and equipment.
The chain of internet cafes became incredibly popular, and the popularity of games also soared to new heights.
So Hu Yuan moved on to the next step: filming his second TV series.
Hu Yuan invested more manpower and financial resources in the production of this installment, demanding that it be made more exquisite and that the actors' charisma be even more outstanding.
They also demanded that all the original actors be brought back to ensure a 100% original cast.
Because Hu Yuan knew that this would become a kind of sentiment.
To protect his own interests, Hu Yuan also asked Fatty to select promising actors in advance and sign them all.
The second TV series arrived as promised and became a huge hit once again.
The game's popularity reached new heights, becoming a must-have game in every internet cafe in China.
Because of the game's popularity, the number of internet cafes across the country has increased rapidly, becoming a new industry trend.
Just then, Ma Xiaohu, who had been working on his assignment for a year, handed in a new one.
A brand new game for everyone, launching immediately.
The same approach was repeated, and both games under Hu Yuan's company developed better and better. Of the dozen or so actors he signed, five or six became top performers.
Li Jie began to feel the pressure, so he immediately abandoned the original two and brought back dozens more from H country. Most of them were trainees who had come from China, and a small portion were third-rate pretty faces.
He used the same tactic and planned to continue using his numerical advantage to fight against Hu Yuan.
The results were obvious: the emergence of these people did indeed create a new aesthetic trend in the entertainment industry and brought considerable benefits to Li Jie.
However, it was completely impossible to shake the morale of Hu Yuan's men.
From the perspective of industry development, Li Jie has made considerable contributions, but he suffered a complete defeat with Hu Yuan.
More importantly, each of these trainees who returned to China to develop their careers has a fatal weakness, so it doesn't take much effort to bring them down.
"Mr. Hu, I've encountered a bit of an unexpected situation..."
Everything was going very well until a phone call from Fatty Sister brought Hu Yuan some very bad news.
Two of the most popular celebrities have faced two major mishaps: one was involved in a car accident, and the other had his home catch fire.
Both of them were involved in an accident at the same time, but neither of them was in mortal danger; they were just disfigured.
Fortunately, they were all minor injuries and will not leave large scars.
Such an accident came too suddenly, and happened simultaneously, which seems somewhat deliberate.
Hu Yuan immediately realized that Li Jie was probably desperate and resorted to such shameless tactics.
"Mr. Hu, you are accusing me without any evidence. I can sue you for defamation. Every day, there are many car accidents and fires in this world, and many people die because of them. Aren't they already very lucky?"
Li Jie naturally wouldn't admit to or deny Hu Yuan's questioning.
The reason is simple: he believed that Hu Yuan couldn't do anything to him.
"You wait."
Hu Yuan hung up the phone.
Since we're going to fight openly, let's do it.
Fortunately, Hu Yuan had learned most of the old man's medical skills, which allowed him to completely restore the two people who had suffered the accident to their original state.
This is something Li Jie would never have dreamed of.
A month later, thanks to Hu Yuan's dedicated treatment, both of them recovered, and their skin even improved.
Taking this opportunity, the two became popular again, and various skincare product endorsements followed one after another.
Hu Yuan made a fortune.
"Here's the money. I want you to cut off all of Li Jie's sources of income. Understand?"
Hu Yuan handed over all the money he had earned this time to Sister Pang, as she was more professional in this area.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Hu. I've been waiting for this day for ages. If you hadn't been preventing me from making a move, I would have taught him a lesson long ago. I don't need this money. All I need is your word."
During the time she worked with Hu Yuan, Fatty Sister witnessed his abilities and greatly admired her current boss.
"You need money to do anything. You don't need to worry about that. Just get things done."
Hu Yuan still insisted on giving the money to Fatty Sister because he wanted to see results in the shortest possible time.
Fat Sister has many methods, and they are also very despairing. In less than a month, almost all the stars under Li Jie's command have run into trouble. Some were arrested, some were denounced by fans, and some announced their retirement from the entertainment industry.
A variety of styles.
Finally, even people who weren't media outlets or fans started to criticize Li Jie's management company.
These people all come from the same company, so since they've all had problems, he'll inevitably be affected as well.
This is the most important reason why Hu Yuan wanted Fatty Sister to be faster.
Various unexpected events have already cost Li Jie a lot of money, and some previously agreed-upon collaborations have had to be terminated due to these incidents, for which he also has to provide an explanation.
Things have developed to this point, and Li Jie is spending his own money every day to solve the problems, and he is being closely watched, with no chance to escape.
"I had someone collect this information, and I believe you understand what I mean."
Hu Yuan handed over the materials he had prepared beforehand to Fatty Sister; these materials were enough to bring Li Jie to his doom.
If he had only touched the interests of a few people, it wouldn't have been so serious. But this guy has always been very greedy and has done things that are lawless. This time, Hu Yuan will make him know the price of his wrongdoings.
