Zheng Jiahui was so angry that her face turned green. She slammed her phone onto the table, and by sheer coincidence, the screen cracked.
The manager standing to the side was also extremely shocked. Xiao Qingfeng was indeed with Luo Qingchuan, otherwise he wouldn't have offended Zheng Jiahui so openly for Luo Qingchuan's sake.
"Who does he think he is? All he can do is write a few crappy songs?"
"A greenhorn who's just become famous dares to yell at me? Who gave him the guts?"
......
Zheng Jiahui was furious, while her agent remained silent.
Luo Qingchuan's manager couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "You were the one who praised him just now, and now you're saying he can only write a few lousy songs!"
"What did you say?" Zheng Jiahui slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
The agent hurriedly said, "No... Mr. Zheng, I didn't say that!"
"Get out!" Zheng Jiahui suddenly shouted at her manager.
The agent immediately ran out of Zheng Jiahui's office, looking dejected.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Qingchuan's face was full of guilt, and her eyes revealed deep apology.
"Teacher Xiao, I'm so sorry... It's all because of me that you've fallen out with Jiahang Media. I never expected things to turn out this way."
"Teacher Luo, this has little to do with you. I hate being threatened the most. Since they provoked us, they can't blame me for being impolite."
Luo Qingchuan still frowned, her face full of worry: "But Jiahang Media is not a small company after all. They will definitely not let this go. I'm afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble."
Xiao Qingfeng laughed nonchalantly: "I, Xiao Qingfeng, have never been afraid of anyone. If they dare to come, I will fight them to the end."
The atmosphere between the two eased considerably, and the tension and worry from before gradually dissipated.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's continue looking at the contract; maybe we can find more loopholes," Xiao Qingfeng said.
Luo Qingchuan nodded, and the two of them refocused their attention on the contract on their phones.
They analyzed the contract terms word by word, leaving no stone unturned in checking for any potential problems.
Luo Qingchuan watched Xiao Qingfeng nervously, hoping he could find a loophole in the contract.
Finally, after careful study, Xiao Qingfeng's eyes lit up.
"Found it!" Xiao Qingfeng said excitedly.
Luo Qingchuan quickly leaned closer and asked anxiously, "What did you find? A loophole in the contract?"
Xiao Qingfeng pointed to a clause in the contract and said, "Look here. The contract stipulates that for any work in which Ms. Luo Qingchuan invests more than 50% and participates in the production, including but not limited to film, television, variety shows, and stage plays, Ms. Luo Qingchuan shall have full authority to make decisions, and Jiahang Media shall not participate in any profit sharing."
This clause was originally added specifically to demonstrate the freedom the company gave to Luo Qingchuan, or perhaps they were unwilling to participate in Luo Qingchuan's independent investment projects in order to save money.
Unfortunately, while Luo Qingchuan's acting skills are solid, her judgment is lacking. Over the years, she has independently invested in several TV series, but without exception, they have all flopped.
Luo Qingchuan looked at Xiao Qingfeng, puzzled: "Is there a problem with this?"
Xiao Qingfeng laughed and said, "What I mean is that you don't have to terminate your contract with Jiahang Media, but you can still invest in and act in productions. As long as you invest more than 50%, how much you earn has nothing to do with the company. They can't ask you to do anything you don't want to do, such as smuggling in others or mentoring newcomers!"
After hearing Xiao Qingfeng's words, Luo Qingchuan's eyes first flashed with a hint of doubt, then gradually brightened, as if a beam of light had suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Surprised that I never thought there was such a useful clause in the contract, I was delighted as if I had seen a new way out of my predicament.
Luo Qingchuan opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, she slowly said, "Teacher Xiao, I really don't know how to thank you. I always felt like I was trapped in a predicament I couldn't escape, but I never expected that you could find such a turning point from this contract."
“These days, I’ve been overwhelmed by this contract, worrying every day about what to do in the future. But now, because of you, I see hope.”
Luo Qingchuan took a deep breath, trying to calm her excited emotions.
"You not only helped me find the loophole in the contract, but also came up with such a clever solution. I really... I really don't know what to say."
In her joy, Luo Qingchuan seemed to suddenly think of something lewd, and her excited expression suddenly dimmed.
Xiao Qingfeng noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly not talking?"
Luo Qingchuan looked embarrassed, seemingly finding it difficult to speak. After a long silence, she finally mustered the courage to say, "Teacher Xiao, you may not know me very well. I believe I have quite a bit of talent at banquets, but with investors..."
"Now people in the industry secretly call me an investment trend indicator, but I'm actually a contrarian one. I used to invest in several small-to-medium-sized TV dramas, but without exception, they all flopped, and I lost a lot of money."
"Besides, there are so many people eyeing big-budget projects these days, and it's not my turn to invest. So, trying to get rid of Jiahang's control by relying on this won't work!"
Luo Qingchuan looked visibly helpless and embarrassed when she talked about this.
Xiao Qingfeng laughed upon hearing this, which made Luo Qingchuan even more embarrassed, thinking that Xiao Qingfeng was mocking her.
Xiao Qingfeng immediately explained, "Teacher Luo, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to mock you. I just wanted to tell you that things just happened by chance."
"Coincidence? What coincidence?"
Xiao Qingfeng said, "I happen to have a very good script, and you're the first person I thought of playing the female lead. However, I'm currently busy with book signings across the country. Now that you're here, we can talk about this project!"
"I just don't know if Professor Luo is interested?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchuan's eyes widened immediately, staring at Xiao Qingfeng in disbelief.
If it were in the past, when a singer like Xiao Qingfeng asked her to direct a play, she would definitely have hesitated. After all, different professions are like different worlds, and no matter how much she liked Xiao Qingfeng's songs, she couldn't just do things based on her feelings.
But things are different now. The currently airing "Chinese Paladin" has already broken the 7.0% viewership rating. Although it has only aired half of its episodes, it has already become a phenomenal TV series. If nothing unexpected happens, it has already been reserved as the king of dramas this year.
Therefore, Luo Qingchuan answered without hesitation, "Interested, very interested!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Qingchuan realized that her reaction might have been a bit too intense, and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
Xiao Qingfeng, however, did not realize that there was anything wrong with the other party. Instead, he smiled and said, "I am still working on this script. The title is 'Three Lives Three Worlds.' If you are really interested, I can send you the script for the first three episodes so you can take a look!"
"Will you make a decision after reading the script?"
