Chapter 30
"What do you want from me?" In a coffee shop along the street, Tong Ziqian crossed her arms and looked defensive.
She knew that Cheng Cheng and Su Qing had some conflicts recently, and Su Qing had signed a new person and given him a lot of resources.
Tong Ziqian and the others said privately that the resources actually belonged to Cheng Cheng, and were secretly distributed to others by Su Qing.
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Cheng Cheng smiled.
"I want to terminate my contract, but the company will definitely not let me go easily, so I would like to ask for your help."
"Me?" Tong Ziqian pointed at herself, looking surprised. "How can I help you?"
Besides, why should I help you?
"You must have a lot of evidence of Mr. Zhao's complicated relationships, right?" The relationship between Tong Ziqian and Mr. Zhao was an open secret. Cheng Cheng didn't believe that she hadn't prepared a way out for herself.
"I see." Tong Ziqian suddenly realized, "You want to use this evidence to threaten the company so that they can let you terminate your contract?"
"Yes." Cheng Cheng nodded calmly, "Don't worry, I won't give you away. To clear the suspicion, put your photo in there too. Then they won't guess it was you who did it."
"Even if I have evidence, what good will it do me to help you?" Tong Ziqian asked. The fact that she asked this question showed that she was a little bit loose.
Cheng Cheng was 70% confident, so he took out a large cross-body bag from the chair and threw it on the table.
"This is a deposit of 100,000."
"After I get the evidence to terminate the contract, the remaining 900,000 will be immediately transferred to your card."
"Don't worry, these evidences are just bargaining chips for me to negotiate the termination of the contract. I won't release them. It won't benefit me."
"Deal." Tong Ziqian agreed quickly without much thought.
You can make a lot of money without paying anything, so why not do it?
When Su Qing learned that Cheng Cheng was about to terminate her contract with the company, she was accompanying her newly signed artist Tan Li to run the group.
Su Qing was not surprised that Cheng Cheng wanted to work alone.
What surprised her was that the company agreed to give up this cash cow even though there were still three years left on the contract.
You know, a popular artist can not only bring direct income to the company, but also a lot of intangible profits.
For example, as Cheng Cheng's agent, she can transfer Cheng Cheng's invitation to a newly signed artist at a low price.
Cheng Cheng is still in the rising stage and has greater potential in the future.
Knowing that Cheng Cheng was under contract, she was afraid to learn about this and was stunned.
She didn't know how Cheng Cheng negotiated with the company. This matter was decided by Director Zhao himself.
By the time Su Qing realized and wanted to save the relationship, it was already too late.
Cheng Cheng kept his word and transferred 900,000 yuan to Tong Ziqian's card after signing the termination contract.
After the contract was terminated, she rejected offers from several companies and chose to set up her own studio.
She emptied her savings and borrowed some from her parents.
The only person he didn't ask was Zhou Yue for money.
There were too many places to spend money, so Cheng Cheng had to start saving money. In order to save rent, she moved to Zhou Yue's house.
Zhou Yue’s original words were: “You are always filming outside, and renting a house is just to find a place to store your clothes. You might as well just put them in my house. There is enough space anyway.” But it is still possible to save on rent.
Another reason is that the apartment where Cheng Cheng lives is not confidential enough and there is a risk of privacy leakage.
Zhou Yue’s luxury apartment is patrolled by security 24 hours a day, so paparazzi can’t get in and there’s no need to worry about being exposed.
After intensive production, the TV series "A Li" was finally broadcast on the platform.
Lu Yang spent all his money on production, resulting in realistic special effects, a compact story, and actors immersed in the role.
Due to insufficient publicity funds, there was no publicity when the show first aired, which made Cheng Cheng a little worried.
But fortunately, the quality of this drama is good enough, and gradually there were fans promoting the drama, and finally the word of mouth spread.
This coincided with the time when Cheng Cheng's contract termination with the signing company was causing a lot of controversy.
Netizens accused Cheng Cheng of being treacherous and dumping his former employer after becoming famous.
Just when public opinion was in turmoil, someone added fuel to the fire.
When the news of Cheng Cheng's contract termination was announced, her big fan announced that they would stop following her, blocked her profile picture and cleared her Weibo account.
This caused many young fans to be confused and disappointed with Cheng Cheng.
Some of them only obey the orders of big fans, while others don’t know what Cheng Cheng did and think she broke the law.
Xiao Xia was taken out of the company by Cheng Cheng, who asked her if she wanted to post an explanation on Weibo.
Cheng Cheng shook his head, not intending to explain.
This must be the last obstacle Su Qing set for herself, Cheng Cheng thought.
Anyway, netizens’ joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all short-lived, and they will follow the next hot spot when it appears.
Rumors can only temporarily influence the audience's stance. As long as the work stands firm, those rumors will disappear.
Sure enough, after "A Li" became popular, Cheng Cheng's image as a person with good vision, good acting skills and the ability to take on roles was established.
After Cheng Cheng established his own studio, he became even busier as both an actor and a boss.
Next, she filmed another high-quality period drama, which was broadcast on CCTV's prime time. It was a hit in both word of mouth and popularity, and revived the hearts of the middle-aged and elderly groups. In just one year, she became a first-line actress.
There is a rich second-generation in the circle who is pursuing Cheng Cheng. He is making a big show of it and even says that he will pursue her for one day as long as Cheng Cheng is single.
Zhou Yue sneered in his heart after hearing this. A young man who hasn't even grown all his hair yet wants to steal my girl?
But late at night when Cheng Cheng was away on business, he would look at himself in the bathroom mirror. Even though he wasn't good at anything, he was still young. What if my girlfriend thought I was old?
Zhou Yue felt that the time had come to declare sovereignty, so he came up with a plan.
One day, when Cheng Cheng was live streaming for the brand he was endorsing, a wealthy man suddenly entered the room and bought all the sets worth 6,999 yuan.
The host and staff in the live broadcast room were stunned, thinking that there was something wrong with the system.
When checking the backend purchase account, it was discovered that Zhou Yue bought it using a large account, and it also had the certification of the group president.
Because the amount was so huge, the staff called Zhou Yue to ask if it was a mistake. Zhou Yue said no, he just wanted to support the spokesperson.
The entire process was broadcast live in the room.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were shocked.
"What's going on?"
"Show off your affection? No, this is a singles' day, couples, go away!"
"It turns out Cheng Cheng has a boyfriend, and it's Zhou Yue. No wonder she became so popular this year..."
Zhou Yue just moved his fingers and caused a huge uproar in the entertainment industry.
Cheng Cheng left work amid the interested gazes of the staff in the live broadcast room.
After returning home, Cheng Cheng flexed her fingers. She wanted to beat up that bastard who acted without authorization!
After practicing boxing with Zhou Yue for a while, Zhou Yue said, "Now that things have come to this, let's make it public."
Cheng Cheng smiled coldly: "Now that things have come to this, is there any need to make it public?"
Zhou Yue was so scared that he thought she wanted to break up again.
Cheng Cheng then added, "Everyone knows it anyway."
Zhou Yue planned and died.
This matter is not completely without benefits. With Zhou Yue's name as a barrier, no bad peach blossoms will dare to provoke Cheng Cheng anymore.
A year later, Cheng Cheng won the Best Actress Award.
At this time, the outside world's voices towards this relationship changed from being pessimistic to blessing.
Cheng Cheng's attitude towards the relationship has always been neither responding nor denying it. When asked by reporters, she just smiled good-temperedly.
Standing on the podium to receive the Best Actress award, the host asked her who she wanted to thank the most.
Cheng Cheng said: "First of all, I want to thank my parents for raising me. Secondly, I want to thank the audience who support me, thank the director and producer... Finally -" She paused, her voice choked, "Thank you... my lover, he has been silently supporting my work..."
The whole audience screamed enthusiastically, even drowning out what Cheng Cheng said next.
The photographer wisely pointed the camera at Zhou Yue in the audience. Zhou Yue looked shocked, obviously not aware of this in advance.
Zhou Yue's company has opened up new business, covering the entertainment industry, and many popular TV series have his investments behind them.
Cheng Cheng continued, "In addition to acting, I will also meet you all as a producer. Thank you for supporting actor Cheng Cheng, and I hope you will support producer Cheng Cheng."
After publicly announcing their relationship, Cheng Cheng dropped a second bombshell on the scene: Cheng Cheng is going to transform!
At the peak of his career, instead of taking advantage of his popularity to film more movies, he switched to being a producer?
This is a very risky choice.
Zhou Yue had known about Cheng Cheng's transformation plan for a long time, but he didn't expect that Cheng Cheng would make their affairs public.
"So you didn't make it public before because you didn't want to hurt your fans?" Zhou Yue understood.
"Yes." Without the support of fans, there would be no Cheng Cheng today. Even though she and Zhou Yue are almost semi-public, Cheng Cheng doesn't want fans to see her showing affection in front of the camera.
"You are really dedicated." Zhou Yue complained that so many male and female idols changed their partners frequently, but nothing happened.
"Of course." Cheng Cheng made a cocky gesture, "This is the self-cultivation of a female star."
