With the expiration of his contract with Joaquin, whether Lu Yihong will stay or go has become a concern for all entertainment companies.
Joaquin Phoenix has been treating Lu Yihong coldly for several years, and he originally just wanted to take the opportunity to give this disobedient artist a warning.
They felt like this was a nobody.
Insignificant.
Lu Yihong is indeed a small figure.
In the eyes of Joaquin's top management, Lu Yihong was once just a young actor who could perform. They had already planned a future money-making path for Lu Yihong and set a set of rules for him.
You play whatever I tell you to play, and you can’t play whatever I don’t want you to play…
You have to listen.
Are you not listening?
Okay, if you don’t listen, we will put you in cold storage for a few years.
I'll wait until you can't bear it anymore and come over to beg us like a dog.
Of course, we won't restrict you from doing anything, and you will still receive the guaranteed monthly salary. We will give you everything you deserve, but we won't give you any publicity resources, nor will we give you the opportunity to be on any shows. We will just leave you there and let you fend for yourself.
Two years ago, you were at the peak of your career and won the Golden Bull Award for Best Actor, but what about two years later?
In the past two years, the entertainment industry has changed with each passing day. Countless young handsome men have flooded in every month. With a little packaging and promotion by the company, there is another Lu Yihong. Moreover, these young handsome men are very obedient and will do whatever they are told to do...
They don't mind investing in young and handsome guys.
And what about you, Lu Yihong?
Two years later, who will still know about you, the Golden Bull Award winner?
If you are obedient, I can give you a chance to try. If you are not obedient, the contract is over and you are of no value, so you can get out...
After all, Joaquin Entertainment is one of the top entertainment companies in China, and they have put many artists on ice.
After the contracts of these artists expired, they basically all became marginalized people who lost their value in the entertainment industry. In the best case, they could still work for some directors to make a living, but in the worst case...
Haha, basically, that’s how your life will be.
Do you think you want to rise again?
Are you kidding? The artists we put on ice are all disobedient. So after the contract is terminated, will other companies want artists like you who are disobedient? Even if they sign you, will they recommend you resources?
Without the company's resources to recommend you, how can you compare with other young talents with large traffic?
You can't compare.
They were waiting for Lu Yihong to bow his head, but Lu Yihong did not bow his head and endured it stubbornly.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Yihong will be like these frozen artists, and will be kicked out after losing his value after the contract ends...
However, an accident happened at this time.
Lu Yihong took on a small-budget movie that no one was optimistic about.
And then this movie became a hit!
When you have no commercial value, your departure or departure has no impact on the company, but once you have commercial value, the company will begin to change its attitude towards Lu Yihong.
From being indifferent at the beginning to gradually showing concern for you, from letting you fend for yourself at first to finding ways to give you resources and help you find endorsements every few days, even several middle-level managers of Joaquin had a special talk with Lu Yihong to personally test the issue of whether to renew the contract, and took out an S-level contract, promising to play the leading role in at least one movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan every year, and other tempting conditions.
If it were two years ago, Lu Yihong would definitely feel warm in his heart and would agree to renew the contract without saying a word, but now Lu Yihong has experienced the fickleness of human nature and no longer has any feelings for Joaquin.
No matter what the middle management said, Lu Yihong still meant that he would not renew the contract, nor would he promise not to accept olive branches from other companies.
He just waited and wasted time.
If Joaquin is the only dominant company in China, Joaquin will naturally ignore Lu Yihong. You can leave if you want, and the worst that can happen is that they will ban you. But now, there are many entertainment companies in China, and although Joaquin is one of the best in China, it does not have the right to ban them completely.
They are not the relevant departments...
Therefore, they could only do ideological work on Lu Yihong every day, going over all the good and bad, soft and hard ideas.
During this period, he also received olive branches from entertainment companies such as Tianyu and Mengteng. However, Lu Yihong remained calm and neither agreed nor refused. He just waited silently for the contract to expire.
November 12th.
This is the day when Lu Yihong and Hua Jin's contract expires.
All the senior executives of Joaquin know that it is impossible for Lu Yihong to stay in Joaquin.
Although it's a bit of a pity, their company does not lack people like Lu Yihong.
It won't matter whether Lu Yihong leaves or not.
So they just let it go.
"Sister Xia, what are your plans?"
"Are you really going there?"
"Yeah, I said I went there before."
"Although I have reminded you of this several times before, I still want to say it again. This is a gamble. If I were you, I would consider staying in Huajin or choosing Tianyu. After all, they both have top resources. As for that company...it's just a shell company!"
"I didn't feel any warmth in Joaquin, but I felt a warm feeling there. More importantly, I once said that Lu Yuan was a man of great talent and vision, and I always believed in my vision."
"It's not appropriate to put such great talent and strategy on that person, but since you have made up your mind, I can't stop you. You can do whatever you want."
"Sister Xia..."
"What?"
"Come with me."
"Me? Are you crazy? You said I would go with you? You said I would give up Joaquin and go with you?"
"Yes, come with me. You can continue to be my agent and help train other newcomers. I don't think Ayuan will refuse. Ayuan also needs you. He needs you very much!"
"You are kidding! I can't possibly play along with you. I've been a manager for so many years, and my mind is much clearer than yours. I can't possibly do something stupid like this at a critical moment."
"Oh, okay, then I announced my whereabouts on Weibo."
"Whatever you want."
Lu Yihong turned on his computer and logged into his Weibo, changed "Huajin Lu Yihong" to "Remote Lu Yihong" and posted an official Weibo announcement.
"I would like to thank Joaquin's leaders for their training over the years, and all the fans for their silent support. Of course, I would also like to thank the various entertainment companies for their kindness to me. I regret to announce one thing. Today, I officially terminated my contract with Joaquin. After repeated consideration, I chose to join Remote Entertainment because of my personal direction. This has nothing to do with anything. It is just my personal wish and choice. At the same time, I also hope that all the fans will support me again. A new movie I starred in, "The Wanderer", is expected to meet you during this year's Spring Festival. I hope you can support me again. Thank you..."
…
"???"
Zheng Tianlong looked confused after seeing the news that Lu Yihong had left.
Which entertainment company is this "remote" entertainment company?
How come I haven’t heard of it before?
Could it be an entertainment company from Hong Kong or Taiwan?
That’s not right. I’ve never heard of such an entertainment company in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Puzzled, he turned on his computer and opened Sodu. However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find what this entertainment company was.
Well, there is information about the “remote” garbage recycling station on Baidu Encyclopedia, but you, Lu Yihong, can’t possibly go to work there, right?
As a celebrity, you go to a “remote” recycling station to collect garbage?
Something that is impossible even if you use your toes to imagine.
“Pah, pah, pah.”
"Come in."
"Mr. Zheng, these are some of the artists I signed recently. Can you see if there are any suitable ones for our new movie, 'Da Yanjing'?"
"Xiao Chong, don't rush into this. Let me ask you, have you heard about Lu Yihong's situation?"
"I heard about it. What's the matter?"
"Do you know what this 'remote' entertainment company is? Why is there no information at all?"
"'Remote' Entertainment Company?" Tang Chong felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Well, you don't know either?" Zheng Tianlong frowned.
What on earth is Lu Yihong doing? What kind of company is he planning to join?
"Hmm... I think this name does sound familiar. Wait!" At this moment, Tang Chong was stunned as if he had thought of something.
"What did you think of?"
"I remember this company seems to be opened by Lu Yuan..."
"What? What did you say? Lu Yuan!"
After hearing these two words, Zheng Tianlong felt extremely upset.
Is it this bastard again?
He quickly picked up the tea next to him and took a sip.
He felt inexplicably irritated when he heard these two words!
Yes, irritable!
"Well, I remember when I went to see Lu Yuan to see if we could sign him to our company, he was standing at the door of Remote Entertainment. I remembered that the sign seemed to be halfway gone... The door looked even more shabby... Uh, did Lu Yihong sign with that shell company that will go bankrupt soon? This..."
"puff!"
"What did you say?"
Zheng Tianlong sprayed out all the tea in an instant.
He sprayed Tang Chong in the face.
He originally thought that Lu Yihong would sign with domestic first-tier entertainment companies such as Tianyu or Mengteng, but he didn't expect that Lu Yihong would actually choose a shell company that had lost half of its reputation?
What does this mean?
In your eyes, our Joaquin is now worse than a shell company?
…
Tianyu.
"What? Lu Yihong signed with that kind of company? You must be joking..."
"He has already officially announced it on Weibo... and also promoted his new movie."
"I think Lu Yihong has lost his mind in the past two years. Even if Buried Alive really became popular, it was just a coincidence. He gave up such a good resource of ours to go to a company that can't even be found on the Internet. This is really..."
“Who knows what he’s thinking?”
"You should go and contact him as soon as possible and do some ideological work on him. I think he just has a brain problem and he will be fine in a couple of days."
"yes."
"Oh, and please contact his agent Xia Hong and ask her what she means. If possible, try to recruit Xia Hong first..."
"Um."
…
On the Internet.
"Fuck, this is a joke. Lu Yihong actually signed with Lu Yuan's company?"
"Both of them have the last name Lu. Could it be that Lu Yihong is Lu Yuan's long-lost brother? Otherwise, this doesn't make sense!"
“It seems that this is also possible!”
"Fuck, Lu Ergouzi, you are too amazing. What kind of magic do you have that made Lu Yihong give up so many invitations to sign with your small company?"
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Lu Manzi was on the headlines a few days ago. Today I saw that his popularity has dropped a lot. I thought he would be off the headlines. But from this point of view, Lu Manzi will probably continue to bombard the headlines... When will this day end? I really feel sorry for those celebrities who are in a hurry to promote their cheating..."
"Me too……"
"Damn it, I feel like I'm starting to doubt my life!"
“Who doesn’t doubt life?”
“…”
On the Internet, everyone, including Lu Yihong’s fans, stared at the official Weibo announcement with wide eyes.
Everyone thought Lu Yihong was crazy.
Why sign with Lu Yuan's company, which isn't even a company, when there are so many other companies to sign with?
This is playing a joke on your own future.
For a while, Tieba, Weibo, and major headlines were all full of hot searches for Lu Yihong, Lu Yuan, and Yuancheng Entertainment Company...
Lu Yuan did not say a word and continued to savagely destroy the headlines...
…
No matter what others think, Lu Yuan feels that he is very confused.
Fatty Wei, Li Qing, Qian Zhong, Wang Long, Lu Yihong, Xia Hong and others sat in the company's lobby one after another.
They all looked at Lu Yuan.
Except for Xia Hong, everyone else's eyes were extremely fiery, as if they were going to melt Lu Yuan...
This is a look that has never been seen before.
What are they trying to do?
What exactly are you going to do?
Lu Yuan took a deep breath.
He was a little panicked and even wanted to find an excuse to leave.
He felt that this was not an occasion he could handle.
These people feel like they are forcing the emperor to abdicate...
At this time, his cell phone rang.
He answered the phone.
"I'm at the entrance of the company, please open the door..."
“…”
Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
Well, Wang Jinxue is here too.
have to……
They are all here.
What on earth are you guys trying to do?
