Chapter 127 A Resilient Rose: A Promising Future, An Invitation to a Prosperous Era
Qingcheng Media underwent a major reshuffle in a single day, with unprecedented changes at the top.
The news that the newly appointed chairman was pursuing breach of contract penalties from celebrities quickly became a trending topic.
Faced with huge debts, the celebrities being pursued for repayment are naturally unwilling, especially the top female star Sun Mingna and top male star Song Feiyuan, who have started to play the victim on Weibo.
Fans immediately felt sorry for their idol and scolded Qingcheng for being inhumane.
[People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill. Doesn't Qingcheng know how bad its financial reports have been these past few years? If it weren't for my Nana making money for the company, could Qingcheng have survived until now? This contract termination shouldn't be done in a dignified way; a clean break is better than this disgusting mess that's causing the company's stock to plummet!]
May that vampire company rot and stink, and go bankrupt soon! Nana, stay beautiful and stay away from scum!
[Don't be afraid, Fei Yuan! We're all your strong support. Break the contract and go solo! Never again be controlled by this idiot company!]
Such insults and accusations flooded the comments section of related Weibo posts.
Song Ying skimmed through a few pages, and seeing nothing new, casually handed the tablet to Peng Wen.
"Have you had anyone try to negotiate amicably with these artists before?"
"We communicated normally beforehand. But Zhao Hongyuan made promises to them in advance, so these artists are unwilling to pay the breach of contract penalty and are even stirring up public opinion on Weibo. Madam, should we release those videos now?"
"No rush."
Song Ying opened the document in her hand. "Let them make a scene. It's best to wait until everyone is calling for Qingcheng's death before we get involved—by the way, is the information I asked you to compile ready?"
"Everything is in place."
Song Ying nodded. "Very good, just wait and see."

After half a day of fermentation, the topic of Qingcheng's mistreatment of artists has soared to the top of the entertainment charts.
This is not only related to the influence of the two A-list celebrities, but more importantly, they have united with other artists who have terminated their contracts with Qingcheng.
Sixteen people spoke out simultaneously, accusing Qingcheng of oppressing its artists.
Such a grand and impressive display is unprecedented in the industry.
Qingcheng's stock price fell further, and shareholders complained bitterly, even blocking the company's entrance.
Meanwhile, some people discovered that the new chairman of Qingcheng was none other than Song Ying.
Fans of the artists who terminated their contracts immediately turned their anger towards her.
[They're all artists, yet they have absolutely no empathy. Learning art should begin with learning morality; has Song Ying's morality been eaten by dogs?]
[The moment an employee becomes a boss, they're ready to leech off their former employees; the true face of these evil capitalists is utterly ugly.]
No wonder Qingcheng suddenly became so disastrous; it turns out some inexperienced people didn't focus on making good films but insisted on taking the helm of a big company. They deserved to go bankrupt.
Thank goodness we ran away in advance, otherwise my child would have been bullied so much!
Song Ying was able to remain calm and wait for the best opportunity.
But some people couldn't wait any longer.
[Zhang Donghai: Even if Qingcheng has wronged anyone else, it hasn't wronged you, Sun Mingna and Song Feiyuan! How many resources has the company given you over the years? We've never shortchanged you in the slightest! If it weren't for Qingcheng, you'd probably still be playing minor roles somewhere! Now, not only are you ungrateful, but you're also slandering your former employer. Do you need someone to expose why you terminated your contracts before you'll behave?]
Most people haven't heard of this name, but that doesn't stop them from seeing his certification information.
—Member of the board of directors of Qingcheng Entertainment and Huatian Media, and founder of Xingye Media.
Wow, it's actually a director of Qingcheng!
The onlookers quickly gathered around to watch.
The older brother started replying to netizens in the comments section.
Q: What do you mean by that? Is there something else going on between Sun Mingna and Song Feiyuan regarding their contract termination?
A: These two are in cahoots with that bastard Zhao Hongyuan, deliberately trying to scam us shareholders! They're all scoundrels!
Q: Are you Song Ying's shill?
A: I'm nobody's shill, I'm Zhao Hongyuan's father!
Q: You clearly agreed to a peaceful termination of the contract, but now you're demanding a huge penalty for breach of contract. Does Qingcheng have no shame?
A: Qingcheng has a sense of shame, but your idol has none! Colluding with higher-ups to scheme against the company, and you still have the nerve to play the victim?
Finally, seemingly feeling that typing wasn't enough, Zhang Donghai started a live stream.
The camera shot from a 45° downward angle, revealing the older brother's unfiltered and unedited face.
"You guys want to know what happened with these bastards terminating their contracts, right? Well, I'll tell you all about it today! That son of a bitch Zhao Hongyuan, in order to monopolize Qingcheng's shares, actually instigated his artists to terminate their contracts, and even..."
The older brother, filled with righteous indignation, recounted in vivid detail what had happened at the company that morning.
In the meantime, he also invited many other old friends to join him in the live stream.
Several middle-aged men, one after the other, explained the whole story to netizens.
"That damn Zhao Hongyuan, he has no conscience, yet he has the nerve to let his subordinates betray Qingcheng? If he had any shame at all, even a dog wouldn't do such a thing!"
"And that Sun Mingna, do you dare let Zhao's wife know about your affair with Zhao Hongyuan?"
"Song Feiyuan, do you think selling your ass to Zhao Hongyuan is some kind of secret? That bastard has bragged about it to us eight hundred times already. You still have the nerve to think you were promoted because of your acting skills?"
No one expected this to happen.
Most importantly, after belittling Zhao Hongyuan and these artists, these people still managed to praise Song Ying.
"You're saying Qingcheng is ruined by President Song? Let me tell you, without President Song, Qingcheng would be finished!"
"President Song's benevolence is unparalleled; you couldn't find another like him even with a lantern. Anyone with a brain knows who's to blame for this!"
"Once Qingchenghong becomes popular, you'll all be crying!"
"Come on, let's drink this glass! Wishing President Song and Qingchenghong great success!"
On a whim, Zhang Donghai opened a bottle of wine on the spot.
Well, less than two minutes later, the live stream was forced to be temporarily shut down because of the drinking incident.
-
This online farce completely exceeded Song Ying's expectations.
She never expected that those former directors who left Qingcheng would speak up for her, especially in this way.
A vindication from a third party is sometimes more persuasive than a clarification from the party involved.
The related topic immediately soared to the top of the trending search list.
But Sun Mingna and Song Feiyuan and others are still making excuses, and their fans are also being sarcastic.
Song Ying closed the document in her hand and looked up at Peng Wen.
"It's time."
So Peng Wen quickly released the materials he had prepared beforehand in the name of the official Weibo account.
The first point lists the resources that Sun Mingna, Song Feiyuan, and all other artists who terminated their contracts received from Qingcheng in recent years, and even compares them with other artists from the same period.
At first glance, Qingcheng's treatment of its artists can't be described as exceptionally generous, but it has at least done the company's best.
Sun Mingna and Song Feiyuan, in particular, have almost no downtime.
Following this was a video showing Zhao Hongyuan and the artists privately conspiring to influence the stock price by terminating their contracts, thereby obtaining shares and seizing ownership of Qingcheng.
The images are clear, the message is clear, and it's the most intuitive thing you could do.
Especially the scenes of Sun Mingna nestled in Zhao Hongyuan's arms, Song Feiyuan and Zhao Hongyuan exchanging glances, and feeding each other tea, almost completely overturned everyone's understanding.
[Hilarious! Someone pretends to be an innocent, naive girl, crying and complaining that the company cheated them, but in reality, they're betraying their former employer with the help of unscrupulous shareholders and even seducing a married man. Where does they get the nerve to play the victim?]
[That guy with the double plug is absolutely awesome! Song Feiyuan, are you sure your girlfriend knows how amazing you are?]
I just sold my stocks at a low price a few days ago, losing nearly 100,000 yuan. To certain celebrities, all I want to say is, I'm so ashamed!
When Zhao Hongyuan heard the news, he was still lying in the hospital.
Because he was seriously injured but dared not call the police, he slept on the hospital bed for the entire afternoon after receiving treatment.
Well, I was woken up by a series of phone calls before I was even fully awake.
Only then did they realize that, without their knowledge, Sun Mingna and the others had already taken the lead in a fight with Qingcheng.
"Old Zhao, I didn't mean it... I just wanted to stand up for you, who knew there would be all these things... And you knew they had videos, why didn't you tell me? Otherwise, why would I have bothered to confront those people..." Sun Mingna complained and acted coquettishly.
Zhao Hongyuan sat up in anger and started pounding the hospital bed.
"You're blaming me for not telling you? Why didn't you tell me before you did it! You acted on your own and things went wrong, and now you have the nerve to blame me?! I..."
Zhao Hongyuan was speaking when he felt a sharp pain in his left hand. He then realized that the IV drip was empty and blood was flowing back into the bottle from his wrist.
He was so frightened that he forgot all about cursing and immediately started shouting.
"Doctor! Doctor! The needle has been inserted! The needle has been inserted!"
The hospital was in complete chaos.
The artists who terminated their contracts are in a mess.
They tried to use public opinion, but instead were swallowed up by it, and everyone panicked.
And Qingcheng Entertainment, amidst the media storm, revealed a secret that wasn't exactly a secret—
[A grand opening for Qingcheng Media this summer! Song Ying, the newly appointed Chairman of Qingcheng Media! Looking forward to your guidance!]
Some people questioned whether Song Ying could shoulder the heavy responsibility of Qingcheng, but fans quickly reminded her.
Don't forget, Song Ying is not only an actress, but also the founder of the international original design brand SLOVEY! A genuine female entrepreneur with a truly promising future!
Moreover, the former shareholders who spoke up for her were all veterans of the entertainment industry.
It holds shares in more than one company.
Soon after she made her statement, countless colleagues reposted the Weibo post, congratulating Song Ying on winning the Qingcheng award.
[Huatian Media: Congratulations, President Song! Congratulations, Qi Yue!] — Song Ying will be joining the cast to play Qi Yue, a character in Huatian's self-produced drama "Temptation Star".
[Starlight Entertainment: Resilient Roses, A Bright Future Ahead!]
[Saint Sound Entertainment: Congratulations to Qingcheng's new leader! Congratulations, President Song! You have vision and ambition!]
...
Such a display is a spectacle in the media industry.
This is the first time that there has been no competition among peers, only harmony.
Even his former employer, Shengshi Entertainment, was incredibly generous in sending their congratulations after seeing the news.
[Shengshi Entertainment: The best actors, the best partners! Shengshi Qingcheng is one big family!]
Song Ying was momentarily stunned when she saw the congratulatory message.
This scene is a little too harmonious...
Hong Jie, however, was not surprised.
"You have no idea, the other day when President Zhou talked to me, he was clearly afraid that you would leave and the company would lose a valuable asset. So let alone sending a simple blessing, he would even give you resources right now without hesitation."
"In recent years, Shengshi has been quiet. Even the top male and female stars in the industry can only be ranked at the bottom of the first tier, and that's after they've put in all their effort. Now that a top star like you has emerged, President Zhou will probably treat you like an ancestor."
Just as Song Ying was about to respond, her phone vibrated.
A friend request.
From the company group.
The applicant is Zhou Jinhua, the chairman of Shengshi Entertainment.
Song Ying glanced at the ID for a moment, clicked "agree," and was preparing her words, ready to say something polite, such as expressing her gratitude to the leader.
result.
[Zhou Jinhua: Mr. Song, um, have you ever thought about acquiring Shengshi as well while you're at it?]
Song Ying: ...? ? ?
Something's not right.
Something's not right!
