Chapter 373 Let’s Find a Solution Ourselves (4091)
Liu Feifei was also a little confused. Although there had been some unexpected incidents at her previous press conferences, this was the first time she had seen someone self-explode at a press conference.
Mother Liu raised her eyebrows and scolded the team assistant: "It's only been a month since the last incident, why are you still so lax? How come your reaction is not as fast as mine? And you're still leaving Xixi alone on the stage at this time? Why don't you protect her quickly? She's a little girl, what if she makes a mistake?"
Last month, when she was promoting Night Peacock in Guangzhou, she was thrown to the ground on the stage by a fanatical fan. At that time, some people said that she was hyping it up.
From this point of view, there was nothing wrong with what Liu's mother said.
A few years ago, Liu's mother still had some charm, but she has indeed gotten a little too old in the past two years. The skin on her face has become a little loose, and she no longer looks as bright and charming as before.
Last month, a skincare product called Wangshu Tears was extremely popular, but it was unavailable.
Being scolded by the old lady, the assistants of Liu Feifei's team wanted to roll their eyes.
Still a little girl?
Auntie, your daughter will be thirty soon.
A thirty-year-old girl?
After all, they have been together for so many years and know each other's temperaments. The assistant team responded with "um" and "ah". Mother Liu said a few more words before she started communicating with her daughter.
"You were too close to that Mei Yeping just now. What if rumors start spreading?" Liu's mother scolded her. "It's just hype for the filming, but I just saw you two chatting privately in the back. What did you say?"
Liu Feifei was used to being controlled and didn't resist at all: "He didn't say anything. He just boasted to me that Yang Mi was seducing him, but right after he finished speaking,... Hahahaha."
The teeth are exposed.
Liu's mother couldn't help but laugh, but then she suppressed it and said earnestly, "Xixi, you have to keep your distance from him from now on. Just now backstage, Cindy called and said we might need a PR plan. Mei Yeping has become a minor internet celebrity, and now they've deleted him on Weibo."
Liu Feifei was a little surprised: "Really?"
Liu's mother's gentle words cut like a blunt knife: "I guess it's not fake. The chat records are all there. Mainly, this little internet celebrity said that Mei Yeping told her that many female celebrities want to be with him... So, you have to be careful with your recent promotions, and don't get too close to him. He might explode one day."
"You were definitely photographed when you were communicating privately with him just now. It's not a big deal, but you have to be careful next time, especially not to really get into trouble with him..."
Liu Feifei was a little impatient: "Mom, I didn't want to take this role in the first place. Didn't you and he force me to take it? Now you blame me?"
Mother Liu's eyes turned red: "My child, I am doing this for your own good..."
Liu Feifei felt numb inside.
Before Liu's mother finished her ultimate move, the phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw who was calling. She quickly composed herself and pressed the answer button.
The person on the other end of the phone sounded quite old. As soon as he heard what Liu's mother said, he knew that the woman was starting to cry again.
"Hey, Yinxiang...it's okay, go ahead."
The man on the other end of the phone didn't ask any more questions and said directly: "There may be some trouble with transferring Xixi's international contract to CAA."
When Liu's mother heard this, her eyes immediately turned red and her expression changed: "What trouble? Can't you handle it?"
Previously, Liu Feifei's international contract was signed with Endeavour. After Ali Emmanuel's accident, Endeavour disappeared almost instantly.
Because there are breach of contract clauses regarding scandals in the contracts between both parties, in this case, Liu Feifei's team will naturally find another way for her, and the best choice is of course CAA.
International economic agents don't actually play a big role in obtaining resources, but they are indispensable.
If not, it means you haven't even entered this door and are not qualified to eat meat from this big pot.
But for Liu Feifei now, it is even more important.
Because Disney's Mulan is about to be cast.
Although this kind of casting is just a formality, it ultimately depends on the competition among the forces behind each candidate and how much benefit they can exchange for resources with Disney.
But without a trusted middleman to act as a bridge between the two parties, cooperation would be impossible.
Originally, under the operation of godfather Tian Yinxiang, Liu Feifei's team had almost completed the talks with Disney. Once the project was launched, they would just go for an interview as a formality and that would be it.
As a result, when the Alcatraz incident broke out, Hollywood was reshuffled. Not only did Endeavor disappear, but there was also huge turmoil within Disney, and all previous efforts became useless.
Of course, Hollywood is not just about CAA besides Endeavor, there is also United Talent UTA, International Creative ICM and some small agencies.
Although Endeavor, CAA, UTA, and ICM are collectively known as the four major agencies in Hollywood, the scale and level of UTA and ICM are far behind the former two.
ICM has no intention of developing large-scale business. If it cannot enter CAA, then it can only choose UTA.
The problem is, UTA just signed Baby.
How could such a dignified goddess be on the same level as this young model-turned-traffic star?!
Wouldn't that be downgrading yourself?
Therefore, ever since Fenjin's incident, Liu Feifei's team has had only one goal, which is CAA.
National Master, Fan Haomen, Sister Zhiling... As long as the agency contract is transferred to CAA, Liu Feifei can still maintain her status!
But now, Tian Yinxiang, who had arranged everything for Liu Feifei since she was a child, actually said that there would be trouble in transferring the contract?
What exactly is the trouble? I met with Jonah Greenberg a few days ago. Didn't that Jude guy say it was okay?
Wait, could it be that Endeavor doesn't want to let me go? But isn't Endeavor bankrupt now?
Faced with Liu's mother's question, Tian Yinxiang was silent for a moment. "I just got a piece of news. CAA's joint venture will be established next month. It was originally a joint venture with Zhongzhou, but before the signing, another joint venture partner was added."
Mother Liu didn't understand: "Who suddenly appeared? What impact does this have?"
Tian Yinxiang said calmly, "The one with more is Jiaxing Media, Yang Mi's company."
Mother Liu's eyes widened. "Who? Yang Mi?"
The man on the other end of the phone nodded. "Yes, that's Yang Mi, who's always been at odds with Xixi. I called Ming Xuesong to confirm that Jiaxing will have a board seat in the future joint venture."
Liu's mother was shocked.
Yang Mi will become the director of CAA Da Zhou! ?
How is that possible?
How could it be possible that the little girl who was only fit to hold an umbrella and carry a bag for my Sissi back then was...
Both Tian Yinxiang and Liu's mother understood very well that a joint venture of this level did not depend on the size or turnover. Even if the registered capital of the company was only one million and the turnover was only tens of millions a year, it was not something that anyone could touch.
In a sense, this represents the power to monopolize certain communication channels and the right to speak.
Judging from this point alone, Da Zhou’s joint venture partners must have deep roots, and some second and third generations who are powerful in other industries may not be qualified to touch them.
How could she, a minor TV star who hadn't even acted in a few movies, let alone a major film, possibly have such an opportunity?!
Jiaxing has a seat on the board of directors of CAA. Not to mention whether she can transfer her contract to CAA, even if she does, the possibility of being framed is extremely high.
Moreover, he will naturally be shorter than this woman.
What if I don’t transfer to CAA, but to other companies?
Then he is not just a head shorter than this woman! He is a head shorter than many people!
No, I still have to sign with CAA!
It is definitely not possible for Da Mimi to have such an opportunity because of her father who is a policeman. She can only have gotten some big support.
But I haven’t heard of it in the circle.
Mother Liu's expression changed. "Who's behind Yang Mi? Yinxiang, have you found out?"
Tian Yinxiang tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table. He certainly understood what Liu's mother meant. "It was Kang Cheng who went directly to Ming Xuesong, but it definitely wasn't Kang Cheng who was behind it. I'm not familiar with Kang Cheng, but Yao Hao has a good relationship with him. I asked Yao Hao to ask him, but he didn't get any information."
"Anyway, I think we can put this matter aside for now. Miami is in a state of chaos right now. I mean, let's focus on the domestic market for now. We can talk about Disney princesses and other things later when we have the chance."
When Liu's mother heard this, her face changed.
Talk about it again when there’s a chance?
Xixi will be thirty soon!
Where is the "we'll talk about it later when there's a chance"?
Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.
Isn’t it just that your mind is now focused on that little girl whose surname is also Yang?
In that case, let’s find a solution ourselves!
"Okay, I understand. Yinxiang, you should take care of yourself too. I bought you a sleep-aid pillow a few days ago. I'll have someone send it to you when I get back. I'm hanging up now."
Mother Liu said in a gentle tone.
——
Da Mimi had just taken a look at the post about Mei Yeping's fried rice noodles on Weibo when her phone started ringing non-stop.
"Hey, Sister Hong, I'm sorry, I was just talking about something."
"No, it's just some chores. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Eat, maybe not these two days, yeah, I'm a bit busy. Then another day... okay."
"Mr. Wang? Um, uh, next week? I only have two days next week, Wednesday and Thursday... Oh, I'm so sorry... Okay, see you on Wednesday then. Sorry, Mr. Wang, I have to take a call."
"Brother Kun, what's going on? Oh, this is all nonsense. Where did you hear this? Oh, I'm really not pretending... I need to take a call... Next week? Next week is all booked, so we don't need to set a time, right? Can't we just let me know when we have time... Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I need to take a call."
Since I picked up the phone, Da Mimi and Zeng Jia have been ringing non-stop for more than half an hour.
Almost all of them came to get information.
Those who have an average relationship or are able to keep their composure may not ask directly, but will hint at it.
But no matter whether they had a good relationship or an average one, Da Mimi and Zeng Jia both got away with it by never admitting any jokes or changing the subject.
After hanging up the phone, Da Mimi originally wanted to turn off the phone, but then she thought that it wouldn't work. She remembered that the phone had a whitelist function, so she simply added a limited number of people to the whitelist. No one else could call her, and the calls in her ears finally stopped.
"News spreads fast," said Zeng Jia, who was standing next to Da Mimi, excited, exhausted, and a little disdainful. "We didn't even get Bai Shuyi's event done last month with our proactive PR efforts, and now they've called me to say they've reserved a spot for you at the next event."
"Yu Zicong also called, although he didn't ask directly. Even people like him who are on the fringes of the circle have heard the news. It seems that half of the entire circle knows about it."
In terms of workload, Da Mimi's workload is much higher than Zeng Jia's. It is common for her to take at least three and at most eight or nine flights a week.
But now it seems that Da Mimi is in better spirits than Zeng Jia.
"When did you see any secrets in this circle? Negotiations are such a big thing, with more than a dozen people involved, and it only leaked to the circle today, which is unexpected."
Da Mimi brushed away the loose hair on her forehead and continued to eat Mei Yeping's fried melon with great interest while holding her mobile phone.
She really wanted to deal with Mei Yeping, but before she could do anything, she didn't expect that this guy would cause trouble on his own.
"This guy is so narcissistic, he even said that all the female celebrities want to date him, what a moron."
Da Mimi tapped her fingers on the screen quickly, preparing to ask the paparazzi Mei Yeping, whom she knew well, if there was any more gossip.
In fact, many celebrities are very familiar with many paparazzi, and they will exchange information with some trustworthy paparazzi from time to time. Otherwise, how could those paparazzi always have secret information.
Da Mimi is even more talented in this aspect, and has good relationships with many paparazzi and water army leaders.
I just chatted with the paparazzi captain for a few sentences. The paparazzi captain thought my typing speed was too slow, so he called her on WeChat voice call and asked her if she had scolded Mei Yeting on WeChat today.
"How did you know?" Da Mimi looked surprised. "Could this idiot have told you all this himself?"
"Sister, no one told you? This matter has spread throughout our circle." The paparazzi captain said helplessly.
Da Mimi was annoyed: "My phone is whitelisted, so I can only receive the voice calls you made to me, but I can't receive phone calls. Tell me quickly, how did you know? And how did it spread everywhere?"
The paparazzi leader didn't keep the secret and said, "When you sent him the voice message, he was at the press conference for 'Zeng Shao Nian'. As luck would have it, after clicking play, his phone fell to the ground. He didn't pick it up for a long time, and it was on speakerphone. All the media at the scene heard it. Cousin Mei Yeping had to do emergency PR and spent over a hundred dollars on it."
Da Mimi laughed out loud when she heard that.
Should!
In that case, I'll add fuel to the fire and help myself gain more popularity.
"Eh? Do you have the video from that time? Is there any scandal about Mei Yeping recently? It can't be just this little G, right?"
The paparazzi leader was alerted when he heard this: "What are you doing, sister? Want to get him? They all signed a confidentiality agreement."
Da Mimi shrugged, "You didn't sign the confidentiality agreement, and you weren't there. So, give me the video, and forget about the rest. Market price x 3."
The paparazzi was furious: "You can insult my personality, but you can't insult my profession! We also have professional ethics!"
Da Mimi was unmoved: "Multiply by five."
The paparazzi sighed, "Sister, this is really not okay. That person is using money to help others avoid disasters. You can't do things so dishonestly."
Da Mimi raised an eyebrow: "Multiply by ten."
The paparazzi immediately replied: "I sent you the QR code. Who's the payee? It's definitely not me. Is there any need to ask? Don't worry, we're professionals at this."
My keyboard is definitely blessed. Within three days after I finished writing the ESG, JD ESG became popular. After I finished the update yesterday, everyone knows what happened.
