Actor Wang Yueheng transmigrates as a street singer participating in a talent show. His on-the-spot creation of "The Lone Brave" ignites the entire internet, helping him rise from a grassro...
"Is he trying to express his dissatisfaction in this way?"
"That's not right either. Can't we talk things out properly? Why resort to crying and making a scene? It's pathetic!"
"Besides, what can you possibly offer me by hanging out with that kid named Wang Yueheng?"
"It's good enough that he's not using your fame! No way, this kid has to be released from his contract!"
She thought about how her son didn't speak his mind directly.
Guo Gang became increasingly annoyed that the man dared to throw a tantrum at him.
He simply asked someone for Wang Yueheng's phone number and dialed it directly.
Since he couldn't contact his son, he decided to take matters into his own hands and force Wang Yueheng to terminate the contract.
If this kid dares to refuse, let him know the influence of Deyun Society and the Guo family!
...
After signing the agreement with Guo Dalin, I handed over the complete score to him.
Wang Yueheng then bid farewell to the other party and returned to his hotel.
I'm planning to go to a recording studio in Kyoto early tomorrow morning to personally coach Guo Dalin on recording this new song.
This serves as the first step for the other party to enter the music scene, breaking free from the single identity of a crosstalk performer.
It's also to boost the popularity of bubble music.
"Buzzing~"
Wang Yueheng's phone rang just after he finished washing up in his hotel room.
An unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen.
"Hello, who is this?"
Wang Yueheng dried his wet hair with a towel and answered the phone without thinking much about it.
"Is it Wang Yueheng himself?"
A somewhat familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
To Wang Yueheng's surprise, the other party seemed to be suppressing a hint of anger in their tone.
"It's me. May I ask who you are?" Wang Yueheng asked, having roughly guessed what was going on.
"I am Guo Dalin's father, Guo Gang."
"I'm sorry to bother you so late, but there's something I'd like to discuss with you seriously."
Suppressing his anger, Guo Gang sat in a chair in the living room of the mansion and said in a cold voice.
At this moment, Guo Gang's wife, Wang Huihui, who had been woken up, also came over in her pajamas and sat quietly beside him.
He frowned as he listened to his conversation with Wang Yueheng.
He learned that Guo Dalin had not informed Guo Gang or himself.
They privately decided to sign with an unknown entertainment studio.
Wang Huihui was equally shocked at first.
Immediately afterwards, my heart was filled with immense joy.
There is no other reason.
Guo Dalin is the son of Guo Gang and his ex-wife.
As a stepmother, Wang Huihui didn't have much affection for the universally acknowledged young leader of the Deyun Society.
On the contrary, Wang Huihui regarded her and Guo Gang's own son as the apple of her eye.
If Guo Dalin voluntarily abandons Deyun Club and signs with another brokerage firm.
In name only, he will no longer have any connection with the successor of the Deyun Society.
His own son, Guo Yang, could then naturally become the successor of Deyun Society.
This is simply an incredible gift that Guo Dalin delivered to his doorstep!
The reason why Wang Huihui used various means to attack Guo Dalin was precisely this.
It would be best to drive away Guo Dalin, who is not good at speaking and has no guile.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually ran away on their own.
I learned that Guo Dalin had even signed a contract.
Wang Huihui was overjoyed.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of goodwill towards Guo Dalin, whom he had previously disliked.
But on the surface...
Wang Huihui still had to suppress her excitement and put on an incomprehensible and angry expression in front of her husband.
"I heard that my son, Dalinzi, signed a cooperation agreement with your entertainment company on a whim."
“I just tried to contact Dalinzi but couldn’t get through. I hope I can ask you to cancel this agreement on his behalf.”
"As for the penalty for breach of contract, I will compensate you in full within the scope recognized by law."
Guo Gang, exuding an air of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry), stated his demands directly over the phone in a serious and uncompromising tone.
He wanted to use his status and position to force Wang Yueheng to back down.
"I'm sorry, the contract does not include a clause for the authorized representative to terminate the contract."
"If it is decided to terminate the contract, Guo Dalin himself needs to come and negotiate."
"Furthermore, our company has already created a new piece tailored for him, and I believe you will be able to see it in the next couple of days."
"Since you care about him so much, I hope you can also pay attention to his new works."
Upon hearing the request from this well-known figure in the crosstalk world.
Wang Yueheng expressed his thoughts in a humble yet assertive manner.
Wang Yueheng was already aware of the tense father-son relationship between Guo Dalin and his father.
Therefore, they did not expect to persuade Guo Gang with just a few words.
I simply suggested that they not rush into terminating the contract, but instead pay attention to Guo Dalin's upcoming new work.
Then decide whether to terminate the contract.
"Ha, what kind of respect is this, just children playing around?"
“Young friend Yue Heng, I know you are very talented, but that only represents you personally.”
"I know my son's weight and quality better than anyone else."
"To put it bluntly, the conditions I created for him and the works I produced are such that even the top figures in the Chinese Folk Art Association wouldn't receive this kind of treatment."
"What do you think your newly established entertainment company can do for Dalinzi?"
"So, please do me the favor and terminate the agreement. I'll pretend this never happened and won't hold him accountable."
Guo Gang heard about Wang Yueheng creating a piece of art specifically for his son.
At first, he dismissed it with a laugh.
Then, in a very scholarly tone, he began to lecture.
His tone indicated that he didn't care at all about Wang Yueheng creating works for Guo Dalin.
He only believed that the other party was trying to piggyback on his son's and Deyun Society's fame.
"Since you put it that way, then there's nothing more to discuss."
“The termination of the contract is a matter between the two parties, and you have no right to make the decision for Guo Dalin.”
Faced with Guo Gang's condescending attitude, Wang Yueheng shrugged and had no choice but to give a straightforward reply.
“You can also terminate the contract from your own perspective. I can guarantee in my own name that Guo Dalin will not have to pay a single penny of the penalty for breach of contract.”
"We can also compensate you with three million, consider it a lesson learned, how about it?"
Seeing that the other party insisted that Guo Dalin himself must come to terminate the contract, Guo Gang had no choice but to change his approach.
They demanded that Wang Yueheng voluntarily terminate the contract, and that the Guo family provide compensation for the termination.
"Uncle Guo, the way you're saying it makes it sound like I'm using this contract to blackmail you."
"I genuinely believe in Guo Dalin; I think he's a very talented person, but he's been overlooked by your company..."
"You're spouting nonsense and talking rubbish!"
However, before Wang Yueheng could finish speaking, Guo Gang, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately glared and angrily retorted.
The other party actually dared to claim that his son was overlooked at Deyun Society.
Doesn't this imply that Deyun Society is incompetent in training artists?
Guo Gang was the founder of Deyun Society.
How could we tolerate such "blasphemy" from Wang Yueheng?
If Wang Yueheng hadn't been away from him...
Given his temper from years ago, he would have slapped him long ago.
"Alright, there's no point in arguing with this kind of person. I'll go see a lawyer tomorrow and we'll take legal action!"
Seeing that Guo Gang was getting anxious, Wang Huihui quickly spoke up to persuade him.
She wanted to confirm that Guo Dalin had indeed signed a contract with Wang Yueheng.
To avoid getting disappointed.
Furthermore, Wang Huihui didn't think that a small entertainment agency could bring Guo Dalin any acting resources.
It's nothing more than participating in some variety shows, and at most acting in a film or television drama.
If you persist for a period of time, no blockbuster works will emerge.
Guo Dalin will eventually be swallowed up by the ever-evolving and rapidly changing entertainment industry.
Those popular young male celebrities are a good example.
Ideally, he could be like Zhang Lijia's son, Zhang Chenmo, who lost his chance to make a comeback due to drug use and completely disappeared from the entertainment industry.
His own son, Guo Yangde, was now firmly in control of the Yunshe business!
