Chapter 44 The more low-key you are, the more proud the enemy will be.
With just one email, all the problems were solved. Qiao Lele successfully signed an actor contract with Lingyun Media, and Lingyun Media's "The Legend of Hu Ji" was also successfully registered.
Everything went so smoothly that it was a little unbelievable.
"Miss." Pei Xingyao frowned slightly, "This President Xi...is far too unqualified to be your opponent."
With Xi Yimiao's IQ, it is certainly not enough for her to play with him, but Xi Yimiao not only has a mysterious force behind him, but also a harem system, so she has to be cautious.
Du Wanwan didn't plan to tell Pei Xingyao about the harem system, but she might as well reveal that there was someone behind Xi Yimiao. Pei Xingyao could guess it anyway.
"Whether he's good enough for me to play with or not, it's not about looking at him, it's about looking at the person behind him."
"Then, who do you think that person is?" Pei Xingyao thought for a moment, "Could it be President Yu?"
Du Wanwan smiled: "Then it depends on what Yu Chong does next."
She had Pei Xingyao send an ambiguous and cryptic email, giving Yu Chong enough room to back down. Now Yu Chong has stepped down, but what next?
Will he retreat to the background, or will he be forced to step forward and destroy the ladder she has given him with his own hands?
Yu Chong didn't realize he had unknowingly walked into Du Wanwan's trap. After a day of work, his anger subsided, and he also got the news about what happened between G-light Entertainment and Xi Yimiao. He didn't want to care about Xi Yimiao, thinking Xi Yimiao was a fool, but seeing Xi Yimiao being taught a lesson by Du Wanwan, he felt that Du Wanwan didn't take him seriously.
Just when I was struggling with this, Xi Yimiao called again.
There are more than 30 missed calls from Xi Yimiao in Yu Chong’s phone. Judging from his perseverance, the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
Finally, Yu Chong answered the phone: "Hello."
Xi Yimiao called out "Brother-in-law" with a smile.
Of course, he never thought that he had offended Yu Chong with just one word. To be honest, in his eyes, Yu Chong's status was almost the same as his own.
He was still the boss's "confidant", and Yu Chong was at most a "surrender" with a letter of surrender. But since he was the boss's confidant, he was of course responsible for maintaining good relations with his subordinates, not to mention that he still needed Yu Chong to help him with things.
"Brother-in-law, I was anxious before and my tone was a little harsh. Please don't be angry." Xi Yimiao apologized while reminding, "Brother-in-law, don't give the monk an advantage, but give the Buddha an advantage!"
On the surface, this meant that he hoped Yu Chong would continue to help him because of their complicated relationship. In reality, it was a warning to Yu Chong that they were all the boss's thugs, and even if they had conflicts, they should put aside their prejudices and work together for the boss when it was time to get things done.
Yu Chong's face darkened, but he had to admit that he was right. "What do you want?"
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. I know you don't want me to use your face to bully others in Runjia Group. Don't worry, this time I want you to do something else." Xi Yimiao's voice suddenly turned cold. "The reason I failed miserably this time is all because of Mingzhao Studio's ignorance. That Mr. Fan just promoted a young handsome guy, and he got cocky. Brother-in-law, with your status in the entertainment industry, whether they can get a role or not is just a matter of your words."
Originally, the two of them cooperated by following orders, which Yu Chong had to do, but this sentence praised Yu Chong, which made people feel very comfortable.
"knew."
"Also." Xi Yimiao said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, my crew has been formed, and I need your help to promote it."
"Um."
Yu Chong responded coldly and hung up the phone, but Xi Yimiao knew that the matter was done.
He can move now.
The next morning, before going to work, G-Light Entertainment registered on Weibo and posted a Weibo post recruiting actors.
@G光娱乐[V]: The large-scale costume idol drama "The Legend of Hu Ji" has issued an actor recruitment notice, see the picture for details.
Ye Shiqing happened to see on Weibo that almost the same people as the Lingyun Media staff rushed into Yi Jiantai's office.
"Jiantai, did you see that? That new play that was planned in a second is also called 'The Legend of Hu Ji', and the actors they recruited are almost exactly the same as ours!"
Ye Shiqing's face paled as she spoke. The young girl had never experienced this before, and her eyes were filled with panic. She was almost crying. "I spent my entire senior year of college researching countless resources to write the script for 'The Legend of Hu Ji'. I've never shown it to anyone. Could it be... could it be that someone hacked my computer?"
"Don't worry." Yi Jiantai grabbed her hand, waved to the staff, and asked her to leave first, then hugged Ye Shiqing. "Don't panic, I'll ask Mr. Du."
He always felt that things were not that simple.
When he called Du Wanwan and reported the matter, Du Wanwan's voice was flat. She only asked, "How is the copyright registration for the script of 'The Legend of Hu Ji' going?"
"Registration has already been completed." After answering this, Yi Jiantai suddenly remembered that Du Wanwan wanted to take him and Ye Shiqing to meet Mr. Meng that day, but she specifically instructed Ye Shiqing to bring the first version of the script of "The Legend of Hu Ji".
Could it be... Yi Jiantai reacted.
Du Wanwan must have known from somewhere that Xi Yimiao had obtained the script for "The Legend of Hu Ji." Based on her usual methods, if she had evidence, she would have sued Xi Yimiao for plagiarism long ago. However, she didn't have any concrete evidence, so she asked them to register the copyright and apply for the TV series record first.
If you don't have evidence to sue the other party, then prove your innocence first.
"Mr. Du, I understand." Yi Jiantai promised, "I will ensure that every project of Lingyun Media is clean, legal and compliant."
Very good, smart, worthy of being the person she favored. Du Wanwan nodded and reminded: "You can keep an eye on Mingzhao Studio. If there are any difficulties there, you can talk to their President Fan."
She guessed that with Xi Yimiao's high-profile, boastful and arrogant personality, since he had fallen into trouble with Mingzhao Studio, he would definitely not let Mingzhao go easily.
If Mingzhao encounters difficulties, then it means that Yu Chong will take action.
This means that Yu Chong is just a minion, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else.
Just as Du Wanwan had expected, things did not end so easily.
When Xi Yimiao was planning the crew of "The Legend of Hu Ji" with great fanfare, the work of Mingzhao Studio encountered inexplicable difficulties.
As the featured artist at Mingzhao Studio, Lin Yanzang had a good starting point. Fan Zhaoling had a plan in place, aiming to move forward steadily step by step. While endorsements were essential, the work was more important.
From numerous endorsement and script offers, Fan Zhaoling selected two, one for a long-established domestic skincare brand and one for a new energy aura lamp, both of which boast excellent reputations. He plays the fifth male lead in a major historical drama, a relatively ordinary role, but the plot is incredibly compelling, making him a promising success.
The preliminary negotiations had been completed, and everything was ready except for the final signing of the contract. But at this critical juncture, the other party suddenly said that Lin Yanzang was too small a figure and a newcomer, and refused to sign the contract.
The endorsements and roles that were originally planned to be obtained were all lost.
Everyone in Mingzhao Studio was dumbfounded.
"Mr. Fan," the artist's assistant whispered, "Have we...have we offended some big shot? Why does it feel like we're being banned, not disliked?"
The word "ban" is very intriguing. Fan Zhaoling thought about it and realized that he hadn't offended anyone recently, except for one person.
The legendary "General Xi".
But wasn't Mr. Xi on the same level as him, both the lowest-level executives at Runjia Investment? If he had the ability to command the entertainment industry, wouldn't he have been parachuted into a position as the general manager of a half-dead G-light Entertainment? Wouldn't he have been the president of one of Runjia's major entertainment companies?
After Fan Zhaoling thought about it, he found that something was wrong. Thinking about the meaningful email from the headquarters a few days ago, he immediately became clear-headed.
It seems that it is a battle between high-level officials.
A senior executive in the entertainment department was engaging in underhanded behavior. Not only did they force Xi Yimiao to join the company for free, they also used the Runjia brand to act tyrannically. The chairman noticed and became displeased. He quietly warned the senior executives to be more cautious and reminded Mr. Xi that he was still under probation and should not act rashly. As a result, both the senior executives and Mr. Xi ignored the chairman.
The fire at the city gate affected Ming Zhao, a small fish in the pond.
Fan Zhaoling knew that the Runjia business empire had been around for too long and was rife with factions. But he'd earned his keep by his own merit, becoming the only profitable studio within the Runjia Entertainment Group. He'd originally thought he didn't have to choose sides. But now, some people believe there's no such thing as neutrality. If you don't join me, you're against me, and I'll slap you to death.
In that case, it’s not his fault.
Fan Zhaoling opened his notebook and was about to write an email to the headquarters, trying to figure out how to incorporate the spirit of the email from the headquarters and make a proper complaint.
Just then, Yi Jiantai came to the door.
"Mr. Fan, I'm another probationary general manager of Runjia Entertainment Group," Yi Jiantai introduced himself. "I think we have a common enemy. How about we join forces and defeat our opponent with strength?"
After saying that, Yi Jiantai put down the folder of "The Legend of Hu Ji" that he had prepared.
Fan Zhaoling knew what drama G-Light Entertainment was preparing. When he saw the words "The Legend of Hu Ji", he raised his eyebrows in surprise and opened the folder to flip through it.
The materials prepared by Yi Jiantai were very complete. Not only did they include the synopsis of the script and character introductions, but most importantly, they also included a copyright registration certificate and a record of the TV series.
It has the date on it.
Fan Zhaoling laughed. He closed the folder and said meaningfully, "Boss Yi, we not only have a common enemy, but also a common chairman."
Then he extended his hand: "Happy cooperation."
Yi Jiantai shook hands with him happily: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Du Wanwan had already anticipated that Mingzhao and Lingyun's cooperation had not been reported in a separate newsletter.
However, this is not enough.
"Have Ming Zhao sign Qiao Lele's agency contract. As for the other actors, Brother Yi, you have no experience, so listen to Fan Zhaoling." Du Wanwan warned, "Remember, the lower your profile, the more proud your enemies will be."
The more proud they are, the worse they will lose.
