Chapter 27

After listening to this, Su Ning was a little surprised, so he thought about it carefully and answered: "It's not guilt, guilt is only a part, a very small part."

It is definitely untenable to say that he did these things out of guilt. After all, the previous things were done by the original owner and have nothing to do with Su Ning at the moment.

"Poor? Not entirely," Su Ning shook his head. "He is my artist. I am responsible for him. I must provide him with the best solution to the best of my ability. It's that simple."

This was his principle as a gold medal broker.

So it's not really a sacrifice, it's just that he has always done this.

Shen Mingzheng did not stop asking, and continued to look into his eyes and said, "Your artist? He is not the only artist in Guangying Entertainment."

"No, no, it's different. I'm not the president of Light and Shadow Entertainment, so I can't be responsible for all the artists. If I were him, I wouldn't just hire anyone casually."

Su Ning spread his hands. He was very strict about defining "my artist". Although many people were trying their best to get into the entertainment industry, there were not many good talents suitable to be artists.

"Mr. Shen, you are also a person in the industry. I don't know what you think, but when I entered this industry, I believed that the best way to be responsible to the audience is to let the right people stay in the right place."

“Some people are born to be on stage, but the road to the stage is blocked by obstacles that shouldn’t exist. That’s where I should appear. That’s where I ‘fit’.”

Su Ning's voice was soft, but he said it from the heart.

"If a talented person is really ruined like this, isn't this a huge loss for the industry and even the audience?"

Of course, his main purpose in entering the industry was to make money, but if he really had no faith in his heart, Su Ning would not have been able to grow bigger step by step.

Even if he were to travel through a book and start his life in hell, the things he insisted on would not change.

Because Shen Mingzheng had told him a lot of information before, Su Ning's answer now was very serious.

But he didn't know how Shen Mingzheng would understand it.

After hearing this, some people might just think that he is just talking big and empty words, not taking it seriously and just laughing it off.

As for Shen Mingzheng, he was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally smiled softly and said: "It is Li Chu's luck to meet you."

He believed what Su Ning said, but unfortunately, he had never met such a Su Ning in his previous life.

However, it’s not too late to get to know each other now.

"What are your plans for the next step?"

He quickly changed the subject.

If I have to say, Su Ning has accomplished most of what he wanted to do.

After knowing the truth, he took action against Shen Huai without hesitation because he had to force this man out of the program team. During this time, he felt at ease "entrusting" Li Chu to the closed training camp of the program team. Li Chu, whose cell phone was taken away and could not see news from the outside world, would not be disturbed by some information.

But the crisis of Light and Shadow Entertainment cannot be easily solved. It is a "stubborn disease" that existed before he crossed into the book. All Su Ning can do is to rescue the promising Li Chu as soon as possible and prevent him from being affected by these things.

He will do his best to make Shen Huai pay the price of injuring one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own money, and will not let the other party succeed. However, this may not save Guangying Entertainment, not to mention that the people in the company are on the same side as him.

"To be honest, I don't have any plans," Su Ning sighed, "Let's just take it one step at a time."

Then Shen Mingzheng proposed a new suggestion to Su Ning: "So, Su Ning, do you want to continue to cooperate with me?"

"Mr. Shen, is there any need for you to cooperate with me?" Su Ning smiled, "You seem to be able to handle it easily and don't need help from others."

Even if Shen's Pictures has no money, it is the fault of Shen Ting and his son, and has nothing to do with Shen Mingzheng. No matter how the account is settled, it will not be his turn to take the blame.

But Shen Mingzheng shook his head.

"Su Ning, you think too simply of the Shen family," he said, "and you think too simply of the old man. I am not that special in the master's heart."

When he said this, light and shadow fell on his face, alternately bright and dark, making his eyes look even deeper.

Too many people say that he has an "unusual background", and Shen Mingzheng does not deny this.

But for a child who was found, Mr. Shen did have some family affection, but it was not much. Especially when it came to choosing an heir, he was extremely demanding.

In fact, when Shen Mingzheng was sent to Haicheng, he had no idea that Shen's Pictures was in a serious financial crisis at the time. He had never even discovered this in his entire life.

Because at that time Shen Huai had successfully devoured Light and Shadow Entertainment by relying on his dragnet and had perfectly covered up the matter.

Now, the crisis of Shen's Pictures, like that of light and shadow entertainment, is before our eyes.

Shen Mingzheng was parachuted in with real power, which was an advantage given to him by his father. At the same time, concealing key information was also a planned disadvantage. Shen Huai knew the inside story best and could make arrangements in advance, but he could never get the identity of the real power successor of Shen's Pictures. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The crisis of Shen's Pictures was seen by the Shen family as just a screening test.

To some extent, Shen Mingzheng and Shen Huai can be regarded as the same generation of the Shen family. Both are in the pool of heirs of the Shen family. Old Master Shen specially picked out the two of them and fought them like beasts.

The most important thing is that there was no preset topic for this fight. When the old man sent Shen Mingzheng to Haicheng, he just told him: "You suffered a lot when you were not home. Go, go to Haicheng and have some fun. If you don't have enough money, just tell Chen Tao at any time."

He looks kind and gentle, very loving.

But if Shen Mingzheng really just wanted to “play around” like this, and even if he quickly achieved success in investing in Ouputu 4, this would be far from meeting the Shen family’s requirements.

Fortunately, Shen Mingzheng did not indulge in short-term success, but because of this achievement, some senior management in Shen Pictures took notice of him and gradually revealed some inside information. Chen Tao also took good care of him, and the two found many clues and figured out the matter not long ago.

This matter was not as Liang Xiaoliang thought, that he was the one who came with orders. Shen Mingzheng was also a part of the scheme from the very beginning.

Su Ning was also not expecting this when he heard all this in the backstage. He thought silently for a long time, trying to judge whether these words were true or false. However, it was already very unusual that Shen Mingzheng could talk to him to this extent.

Afterwards, Shen Mingzheng explained his true intentions.

"Su Ning, cooperate with me," he said, "We are the best partners. Shen Huai and Jiang Chenfeng are nothing."

"The important thing is, if I take over Shen's Pictures, you can also keep Guangying Entertainment, and use this as an opportunity to become the actual controller of the company. You should take that position."

But when Su Ning heard what he said, he felt it was a bit mysterious and did not agree immediately.

"If Mr. Shen says he can save Shen's Pictures, I believe him," he complimented, "but if he wants to save Guangying Entertainment, I don't believe him."

There are a lot of bad accounts in the field of light and shadow entertainment.

Shen Mingzheng looked at him and said, "Of course I can't save Guangying Entertainment, but you can."

"How can I…"

"Change your engagement partner, Su Ning, to me," he said, "I am different from Shen Huai. I will not touch the things in the suicide note. If you don't believe me, we can sign a prenuptial agreement in advance."

"With that money, you can save Guangying Entertainment. I believe you can do it."

“It’s a win-win situation for us.”

Su Ning: ...

The widowed king, who had been a workaholic all his life, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this.

Even though he realized that Shen Mingzheng wanted him to get the inheritance in this way to save the situation and there was not much emotional factor involved, he was still shocked.

It was the first time for Su Ning to see someone propose, well, it should be considered a proposal, as it was discussed in the manner of a business partnership.

On the surface, Shen Mingzheng was indeed too calm, as if he had put forward a proposal in the conference room.

But this place was located backstage and few people would come here, so the lighting was insufficient and Su Ning couldn't see his entire appearance clearly.

Shen Mingzheng had made a lot of preparations, but his hands trembled slightly when he said that. After he finished speaking, he even pinched the corner of his clothes unconsciously. He was actually very nervous, but not only Su Ning didn't see it, maybe even he didn't realize it.

He just stared at Su Ning closely, wanting to hear a reply.

But after Su Ning thought about it, he did not agree immediately.

"Thank you for telling me this," he said, "but I'll have to think about it."

Everyone knows that the legacy left by the old president is a life-saving straw, but precisely because of this, we should be more cautious.

Su Ning knew that he knew too little about the original work and he had not been here for long. Everyone in this world is a hidden talent. Even if he had the huge sum of money in his hands at that time, he might not be able to keep it.

He felt that Shen Mingzheng was a little disappointed when he heard this reply, but he didn't say anything. He just left a sentence: "It's normal for you not to fully trust me now. It's okay. I will prove it to you with practical actions."

Su Ning: ...

Okay, stop talking about it, it really does feel a bit like a proposal.

He didn't say this out loud. After the two of them walked out of here, they still appeared polite to outsiders.

Not long after, Liang Xiaoliang came over in a hurry and insisted on pulling him away.

After hearing the whole thing, Liang Xiaoliang opened his mouth in surprise.

The reason why Su Ning told him all this was that Mr. Liang was indeed one of the few qualified partners, and at this time it was the other party who told him the existing information first, which was considered a courtesy.

Secondly, he knew that there was no essential competitive relationship between Qilin, which focused on the idol industry, and Guangying Entertainment, which had always focused on the production of TV dramas and movies. After all, there was only one Li Chu in such a huge Guangying Entertainment.

On the contrary, as Mr. Liang said, if Light and Shadow Entertainment goes bankrupt, the pattern of Haicheng will change drastically, which will have a great impact on Qilin.

Apart from anything else, the studio that Jiang Chenfeng set up was originally for his own selfish desires, but now that it has grown bigger, it has gradually moved towards the idol industry, which is why talent shows have become so popular in recent years, so he and Liang Xiaoliang have always been at odds with each other.

Compared to winning or losing on the stage of a replacement competition, Liang Xiaoliang knew which one was more important. He watched the entire performance today and knew that Li Chu's performance was better than before, so he had expected the result.

Compared to Li Chu, he now feels that Su Ning is more important.

"So that's how it is..."

Liang Xiaoliang put down his chopsticks and stopped eating after hearing this, muttering to himself, "This really sounds like something the old man of the Shen family would do."

The Shen family has been in business for a hundred years and has grown strong to this day. Which one of them is a good person?

The current situation of competition among the younger generations is not an exaggeration to say that it is a battle between nine sons for the throne. It may even be more intense than that, because the Shen family really has the throne.

Su Ning was able to stay calm and eat.

He was thinking about Shen Mingzheng.

I used to think that this person was aloof, like a flower on a mountain top, but he was actually quite crazy at heart, and he would do anything to achieve his goals.

Do you really want to work with him, uh, get married?

Su Ning couldn't give the answer for a moment.

The post-production of the Idol Star Map 4-qualifying match was rushed out overtime, replacing the original live broadcast time of the finals.

During this period of time, neither Shen Huai nor Sang Le gave any further explanation, as if it didn't matter anymore.

After a few days of discussion, the heat of the scandal died down a bit. However, after the official program of the qualifying round was broadcast, Idol Star Map 4, which has been on the hot search list since it was broadcast, once again set off social networks.

"Before the show started, I couldn't imagine that Qilin would actually come to participate, and there were two of them, including Qu Shoubai!"

"What's even more frightening is that Qilin came to participate in the competition and actually lost."

"I didn't lose, thank you. It was just the initial evaluation, and Qu Shoubai was also an S, which doesn't mean anything."

"What we're saying is, the performance level of the qualifying match is comparable to that of the finals, right?"

"Is Sang Le going to withdraw from the competition? If you have an improper relationship with your instructor, please withdraw from the competition honestly like someone else. Li Chu and Qilin will advance to the finals together."

"support!"

On the day when the qualifying match was broadcast, the popularity of Idol Star Chart 4 on the video platform reached a new high, and the discussion among the participating students increased. The official account that Li Chu had just created on the social platform saw the number of fans surge by hundreds of thousands overnight. Countless people expressed their love for him, and it was no exaggeration to say that he became famous overnight.

Just as Su Ning said, when he stands there and is seen by everyone, the audience will choose him.

That day, Su Ning took a few glances at the lively discussions and was very happy for Li Chu. He also knew that the losses caused by the original owner to the program team could be compensated. Just by looking at the message sent by Chen Yuan, he knew that the other party was very satisfied.

However, Li Chu's race was not so smooth and there were many ups and downs.

The next step was the song selection for the performance. When Li Chu was forming the team and selecting members, he did not choose Sugikawa from Qilin first. Instead, he chose vocalist Song Yu who showed his creative ability when performing on stage. His votes were not low at the time, but it was a bit of a disadvantage for him to sing alone on such a stage.

Then Qu Shoubai selected the people, and the two Qilins were naturally grouped together.

The next performance was a PK between two groups. The song they danced to was the same, and this song was randomly selected from the songs provided by the program team. The person who was eligible for the lottery was Li Chu.

He might really be a little unlucky, because among so many songs, he had to pick out Qilin's representative work "Put a Crown on Me".

The time for the qualifying match is very tight, and it is very important to be familiar with the original song. The song "Put a Crown on Me" is first and foremost a song for a four-person group, and it is quite difficult to change it into a five-person group, and it has to be performed on stage in a short time. Qu Shoubai's group undoubtedly has a greater advantage.

The last shot of the first round of the qualifying round was Li Chu holding the song card he had drawn with a dazed look on his face.

He looked at his teammates. Qu Shoubai and Shanchuan were already high-fiving in front of the camera. His teammates Song Yu and Ding Xi looked at each other with an expression of "what should we do?"

That night, the term #黎楚倒黴蛋# even topped the trending searches, and his somewhat dazed expression was made into an emoticon package and circulated widely.

Although the audience was laughing, most of the fans who had just picked Li Chu were a little worried.

The gap between him and Qu Shoubai was originally very small, and now the other side has the huge advantage of home court. It is not certain whether Sang Le will withdraw from the competition or not. Even if he plays dead, there is nothing you can do. Now there is only one spot in the qualifying match.

What if I fail to advance and get beaten down?

Qilin’s people can still have a future if they return to the company, but what about light and shadow entertainment?

When Li Chu achieved success but faced many challenges, the days of light and shadow entertainment were not easy.

First, more and more employees started to change jobs, then the co-investors of several projects suddenly withdrew their capital, and then the cash flow bottomed out and the funding chain broke, and the company's difficulties could no longer be concealed.

After the play-in match was over, Su Ning received a call from Su Hongda in the middle of the night. The other party no longer had the angry look of scolding others, but said to him in a hurry: "Several shareholders want to sell their shares and are waiting for the shareholders' meeting. Damn, these bastards have embezzled so much money!"

"Xiao Ning, please give us some advice. What should we do?"

"Please."
