Yu He's fans were jumping up and down, eager to announce to the world that their idol had escaped the deep pit of Huansheng Entertainment. Little did they know that their idol and his manager were deeply regretful.
Seeing his fans celebrating on Weibo and tagging him one by one to congratulate him, Yu He felt like he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, feeling extremely frustrated, but he couldn't post on Weibo to tell his fans to stop.
After all, if he were to stand up and stop his fans from acting so aggressively, it would undoubtedly be a slap in their face. Yu He has come this far largely because of his protective fans, who are the main force that has enabled him to establish himself in the entertainment industry. He cannot afford to embarrass his fans.
Moreover, it wasn't just Yu He's fans who were cheering and dancing for their idol's departure from Huansheng; fans of other artists were doing the same.
Seeing that he wasn't the only one in this situation, Yu He stopped caring. Since things had come to this point, he wouldn't go back to what he had done; that would only make him lose face!
However, less than a day after Yu He put the matter aside, he received a call from his agent, Fang Nan, informing him that the director had not selected him for the role of the second male lead in "The Return of Chuanhai".
Fang Nan: "...Get ready. I gave you three scripts before. There are two more scripts for auditions in the next few days. I'll take you there then."
"No! Why?! I think I acted very well!" Yu He said unwillingly.
Fang Nan's tone was calm: "It's not like we'll miss out on this drama. We can audition for other dramas. Don't worry too much about it."
"But!" But he just couldn't accept it! He hadn't even gotten the second male lead role, while Huan Sheng, that nobody whose stage name he couldn't even remember, had become the male lead! How could he accept this!
Fang Nan could understand him. After all, the original novel of "Return to the Sea" had a high readership. If he could act in it, he would have a good chance of being nominated for Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor in the first half of the year.
"But there's nothing we can do about it. There are other popular young actors auditioning for this role with you, and their fans are very powerful," Fang Nan said.
Yu He: "But the male lead doesn't have many fans!" Yu He finally couldn't help but voice her thoughts: "Since the male lead doesn't have many fans, we can start with him!"
"Yu He, don't act recklessly again." Fang Nan's voice turned cold: "Do you think Yin Chengjue, having dared to give this role to a newcomer, would just stand by and let the newcomer create his own mess?"
Fang Nan: "If I'm not mistaken, Yin Chengjue is just waiting for you people to lose your temper and create a trending topic to discuss whether the male lead brought his own funding to the production, or to fabricate a story about the director's side rigging the replacement of the actor."
Fang Nan: "If you do this, not only will you not get the role, but you'll also be giving the show free publicity and making that previously unknown nobody famous! And your fans will join this storm because of your influence. They have no fans, so they just let your fans curse them. They didn't have any fans to begin with, but your fans have brought them into the spotlight."
Yu He was speechless after being told this, and after a long pause, she finally said, "I understand, I won't act foolishly."
Fang Nan sighed, "Check Weibo. Someone else has already acted foolishly before you. Remember to use a different account when you go on Weibo, so that I don't have to run around like crazy again for every like you send."
Yu He: "Okay, Aunt Fang!"
Fang Nan: "...Get lost!"
As Yin Chengjue watched the hashtag #TheMaleLeader'sBlackHistoryOnTheReturnOfTheSea# climb up the list, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! Great, we've saved on advertising costs!"
Young people are great! Full of youthful vigor, they can't hold their tempers and are easily provoked! It's no wonder he spent so much time memorizing his speech in front of so many people.
He's finished his work here; now it's up to the PR team at "Return to Sichuan and the Sea" to handle the publicity.
As for the newcomer named Luo Cang, Yin Chengjue didn't just pick him randomly. He had carefully reviewed Luo Cang's information, his scores in the training course, and some of his acting videos.
She's good-looking, has a background in dance, is hardworking, and has decent acting skills. With further training and guidance from the director, she's sure to achieve great results.
While it may seem that Yin Chengjue deliberately gave the best resources to newcomers to spite those artists who chose to leave, in reality, it was all a well-thought-out decision made by Yin Chengjue. Moreover, he had already discussed it with the director and shown the director their acting videos.
In the internet age, there is more than one way to audition.
With things mostly settled at the company, Yin Chengjue began to wonder why those relatives from Fengchengda who had once caused trouble at the Yin family's old residence hadn't come to cause trouble for him yet.
If he had come here to cause trouble a few days ago when a large number of shareholders were selling their shares, he could have pushed the price of each stock down even further!
Yin Chengjue even prepared various conditions for those people to cause trouble.
Yin Chengjue wasn't joking with Yin Qiushi; he genuinely looked forward to their arrival.
"Assistant Guan, why haven't they arrived yet? I've already set up the stage and am just waiting for them to come."
Yin Chengjue leaned against the back of the sofa with one hand, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. Rong Yu had been training again these past few days. Although the date for the second round of the "Starry Night" program hadn't been set yet because the fans of the TJ boy group were making a fuss about giving an explanation, if they didn't continue practicing, they might suddenly be notified to go and record the second round one day. If they were rusty and couldn't remember the moves, it would be embarrassing.
Rong Yu went to practice, and Yin Chengjue, having finished all those miscellaneous things, had a rare moment of leisure and became somewhat bored. He was just waiting for these people to cause trouble, to add some spice to his life, and to give him the opportunity to shine on the stage he had specially prepared.
Yin Chengjue thought for a moment, then opened the private message that Feng Chengda had sent him.
How about... you reply? Give that guy a little nudge?
So, after many days, Yin Chengjue finally replied to Feng Chengda—Get out!
As he uttered each word with an exclamation mark, Yin Chengjue felt incredibly exhilarated!
This word clearly added a heavy stroke to Feng Chengda's self-esteem, making Feng Chengda, who was used to being arrogant in front of Yin Chengjue, furious and sending a long private message.
Yin Chengjue didn't read it, but even a fool could guess that there were no kind words in that long passage.
So Yin Chengjue not only didn't look at it, but also blocked Feng Chengda.
Yin Chengjue had blocked Feng Chengda's account a long time ago. Feng Chengda had used someone else's account to add him, but Yin Chengjue thought it might still be useful later, so he didn't block it for the time being.
Now, Fengchengda's account can clearly be retired successfully.
I wonder what kind of expression Fengchengda will have when they send another message and all they see are bright red exclamation marks.
It must be anger, right?
Yin Chengjue thought about it carefully.
In any case, in his impression, Feng Chengda seemed to have nothing but anger and no other expression.
Feng Chengda's parents and relatives haven't left yet. If they anger Feng Chengda, there's a high chance he'll call them over to annoy him.
After all, someone as concerned about his image as Feng Chengda would never do something that would make him lose face himself if someone else could do it for him. Didn't Feng Chengda make Su Zi kneel down and beg Yin He before?
He wanted to achieve his goal by having his mistress come to him disheveled and looking pitiful, while he watched from behind and even edited those videos and posted them online.
He didn't care how pathetic his "true love" appeared on camera; he only thought about using these images to achieve his own goals.
If that doesn't work, try another method.
For example, call his parents and relatives over, tell them the location of the Yin family's old house, and let them go there to cause trouble.
For example, causing trouble at Huansheng Entertainment...
Sure enough, the day after Yin Chengjue blocked Feng Chengda and continued to eagerly await their arrival, they came!
They arrived amidst the eager anticipation of Yin Chengjue and everyone at Huansheng Entertainment who had heard the news!
Upon hearing Assistant Guan's report, Yin Chengjue, who was drawing cards in the [Origin of Space] game, trembled and another ten draws flew out, landing ten cards. After flipping them over one by one, there were 6 B-grade cards and 3 S-grade cards!
Yin Chengjue: "Hurry up and set off firecrackers to celebrate!"
Assistant Guan: "...President Yin, please be reserved!"
Of course, no firecrackers were set off in the end to celebrate, so as not to scare people away.
However, even though no firecrackers were set off, the scene was still a little intimidating.
Yin Chengjue did not deliberately hide it, so people who worked or participated in training at the company had all heard the news that "President Yin's father would send people to cause trouble at the company."
As for when they will arrive, they don't know.
After leaving the company, they dared not say anything, after all, Yin Chengjue's intimidating influence was still there.
Just then, someone finally ran up to spread the word that a disturbance had started downstairs. A group of people in the company instantly became like they had been injected with adrenaline, dropping what they were doing and rushing to the windows or balconies to quickly secure the best spots to watch!
"It's finally here! I've been waiting for so many days!"
"I've had my eye on this terrace for a while now; the angle is perfect!"
"Luckily, my package arrived yesterday afternoon. It's a high-powered telescope, which will solve my nearsightedness problem!"
"Hey! Don't push! I've worked so hard to gain this much weight to fit the character in the new drama, don't squeeze it all out!"
"It's not fair! Why can you gain weight for your new drama, but I have to lose another five pounds! I feel so hungry right now I could gulp you down!"
"Stop arguing, you two! They're starting to cry! They're so loud, I don't need to wear my hearing aid anymore!"
"This is toxic! Is this how you use a hearing aid?!... What were they saying? The wind was too strong, I couldn't hear them."
"They're cursing... cursing President Yin for being heartless, an unfilial son, and deserving to be struck by lightning. Oh dear, it's mixed with dialect, so I didn't understand some of it. Can someone help translate?"
